When she was done, Bobby got up and she instinctually patted him on the bum. He turned and smiled, then fell in to her with a huge hug.

“Thank you for understanding,” he said.

Joan watched him leave the room and began to softly sob.

About halfway through the movie, Bobby seemed to be nodding off. “Joan, what do you think we give him his bottle and get him to bed?”

“I think that’s a great idea.” Joan agreed.

Once the bottle was prepared, Bobby cuddled up into his mother’s arm. She placed the nipple to his lips and he began to suck. It was only a few minutes later that Bobby was sound asleep. The two women looked at each other and smiled. Joan was able to pick him up and place him in his bed. Once under the covers, she placed her hand on the side of his face. He smiled and fell fast asleep. “Goodnight baby Bobby,” she whispered.
