The tiny infant, having been well-nourished in its mother's womb, weighed eight pounds and six ounces at birth. Its large, curious eyes shone bright and dark.
The grandfather adored the child, and guests offered their enthusiastic congratulations.

Ruby, who was still holding the child, was so distraught that she nearly dropped the lump in her arms onto the floor. But facing the eyes of everyone, she could only smile awkwardly, holding the baby in an uncomfortable posture.
