The Day’s of his Lives Scene 56

She smiled and blushed at the unaccustomed complement from me and dug into her cake while I did the same. We finished the cake and she gave me a small bottle of formula to drink to wash it down. I was so grateful to her that I said not a word as I put the nipple in my mouth and sucked about half of it down. That cake was so good that I asked her for another small piece. She agreed and cut herself another as well. I was so relaxed by that time, i wasn’t watching what I was doing and I managed to impale my tongue with the fork. I jumped and screamed, “Ow!”, making her spring out of her chair to see what had happened. My tongue was bleeding as if I had done major damage. Gina was in a dither, she didn’t know what to do. Frankly, neither did I. In the end she told me to drink more of the formula to wash off my tongue. The idea worked, albeit slowly.My sucking keep pulling more blood out of the wound and it was five minutes before I stopped bleeding. She asked me how I felt and I told her that I just wanted to go to bed. She put the dishes in the sink and carried me into the nursery to put me to bed and show me the second surprise she had waiting for me. She didn’t say anything as she lowered me onto the mattress. She only stood there with a smile on her face as she waited for me to discover what she had found for my comfort. I knew she was waiting for something by the expression on her face, but I couldn’t figure out what it was. I decided that there must be something special about the crib. I looked at the bars and footboard and couldn’t see anything out of the ordinary. I lay back and relaxed.
