He was so tiny.
It was hard to believe that something so small could have swollen her stomach up so much. It was hard to believe that something so small could kick so hard and cry so loud. It was hard to believe that something so small could carry all her love.
Yvonne was on her left, her father to the right and both of their eyes were fixed on the bundle in her arms; a bundle that blinked up at her with large, watery eyes and a soft pink face. If she stared long enough, she was sure to know all the secrets of life in the universe - all in the knowing eyes of her newborn son.
The newest Johnson reached out eagerly with his hands, just touching the tip of his mother’s nose. Yvonne squealed at the adorable actions while Mr. Johnson was unable to wipe the dumb smile off his face.
“You did it, kiddo,” whispered the brand-new grandfather, gently stroking his daughter’s hair.
The baby cooed and kicked and moved inside his mother’s arms, asking, begging, “Watch me now!” She watched and knew that he was watching back, waiting for what she’d do. She kissed his soft forehead, lips skimming the fine, pale hairs and she spoke into them: “It’s been a long time, hasn’t it?”
She didn’t know exactly what she was waiting for exactly; perhaps a reply. But babe just squirmed and whined and begged with tiny burps and squeaks and gave none. There was nothing in his eyes but moisture, and the flailing of his limbs nothing but the first trials of learning motion. There was no omniscient past within his gaze, nor the flickers of hidden expectations. There were only the blinks or an innocent infant.
“Alice, what are you going to name him?” Yvonne asked, though she already knew the answer.
Alice kissed the tiny fingers that brushed her face. “Jacob Daniel,” she replied, glancing at her father for approval. He nodded and didn’t ask when she decided this or why she never told him. There was simply nothing to be said on the matter.
As Jacob Daniel Johnson pulled gently on a piece of his mother’s hair, Alice smiled. No, the past was not in his eyes and neither was the future - and that was a good thing; because now, with evil behind her and a family in front, Alice Johnson could finally have a new beginning.
