Marcella woke up in the middle of the night hearing Joey cry. Before she got up, Tony got to Joey surprising Marcella. She was surprised he hadn't fallen asleep yet.
"Sleep," he said picking up Joey.
Marcella smiled. They had a dim night lamp in the room and his smile painted a divine contour on his face. He gently rocked the baby as he walked out to the kitchen. Marcella felt like heaven had descended into their tiny little home.
The bedroom door was open and she could hear Tony speaking softly to the baby. She heard the sound of the utensils as he prepared the formula. She didn't know why, but hearing it made her happy. Before she knew it, she fell back asleep.
