She unfolded from the chair and strode to a<br />
bassinette tucked into the corner. Serena’s eyes fluttered<br />
as Anna settled her down to sleep.<br />
“She kept me up half the night. So fussy,”<br />
Anna said, pulling the blanket over her daughter. She<br />
caressed the rosy, plump cheeks.<br />
“That’ll pass,” Deidre said.<br />
Anna sighed, and chuckled.<br />
“It’s worth every sleepless moment to hold her<br />
in my arms.” Tears burned her eyes and Anna’s smile<br />
melted. Why am I crying? Shaking her head, Anna<br />
wiped at her eyes and laughed.<br />
“It sure is,” Deidre said. “You seem to be feeling<br />
better.”<br />
“Why wouldn’t I be?” Anna slid into the rocking<br />
chair and leaned back, basking in the sunshine.<br />
“No reason.”<br />
“When will Henry be coming home?” She<br />
started rocking, the rhythm soothing.<br />
“Tuesday, I think,” Deirdre said. “Are you<br />
hungry?”<br />
“I think I’ll nap first, if you don’t mind,” Anna<br />
said.<br />
Voices sounded in the distance, a muffled roar<br />
of anger before silence swallowed them once more.<br />
“I think you should eat a little something,<br />
sweetie, before Serena wakes and you forget. We don’t<br />
want you starving,” Deidre said.<br />
“Hmm…okay,” Anna said, her eyelids drooping.<br />
<strong>The</strong> wooden chair creaked softly as Anna<br />
rocked. She heard Deidre leave, her eyes closed.
