“Why don’t I take you to Dunc’s office and you can accompany him there while I go to your grandaunt’s place to visit the baby?”
Serenity teased Sonny.
Sonny immediately rejected this idea. “I want to go with you to Grandaunt Audrey’s house to see the baby.”
Following that, he asked, “Aunt Ser, when can the baby play with me? Every time we go to see him, he’s sleeping or crying. When he cries, I can’t get him to stop. Why is he always crying?”
Serenity led Sonny by the hand to the car. The bodyguard pulled the car door open and she carried Sonny into the car.
Once she was in the car too, she answered, “Babies are all like that. He still doesn’t know how to speak, so he doesn’t know how to tell us when he’s hungry, or thirsty, or when he has pooped. All he can do is cry, and the adults will pay attention to him then and try to find out why he’s crying.
“You were like that too when you were little. When you were his age, you were even harder to take care of than he was.”
