Max snuggled in with his son. He nestled him into the crook of his strong arm. Max looked at him. His little eyes. He had his mother's light hair. Max watched him yawn and fall asleep. He smelled like baby powder and the blanket that he had been wrapped up in had Jamie's scent. He inhaled deeply. He kissed his son's head. " We just need mama home now." Karen knocked on his door. He said quietly." Come in." " Max, I want to help any way that I can. Please, let me take care of the baby for you. It's been so long since I has a baby to care for." Max motioned for her to lay next to him on his bed. Karen lay down facing her oldest son. " I made so many mistakes son. I want to start fresh, I need this." He took his mother's hand. " Mom, I am glad you are here." He smiled at her.
