Chapter 5 Solomon Installment 24

With sure hands from years of experience, Nurse Bern wrapped up the baby in a towel, cooing to him, and laid him in his mother’s arms. She cradled him and looked down into those clear blue eyes staring into hers. The child had curly blond hair and a face that had a wise look about it. Even though a newborn infant, the baby seemed to envelope his mother with his gaze. The moment was so profound that it made all her other accomplishments seem miniscule in comparison. For a woman who spent so much time reminiscing and reliving the past, it was uncomfortable and disorienting. She felt adrift in that moment. Her feelings became more and more disturbed and uncomfortable the more she looked at him.

His father didn’t fare any better as he investigated the face of his son. He could tell immediately that Solomon was different from his older brother. He seemed completely at peace, and it made him feel that all the future planning he spent his time on might just be wasted and pointless. He couldn’t remember the day’s stock report or what he had been reading about future economic indicators. He felt like the anchor he had tethered his life to had been released. He was hovering in an unknown space.

His parents found this even more uncomfortable than the anxiousness and neediness of their older son. They exchanged looks of exasperation.

A Calm for Jonathan

They brought Solomon home and laid him in a baby cradle in a room prepared for his arrival. Jonathan came in with the nanny and she brought a chair for him to stand on so that he could look at his brother. When Jonathan looked down at Solomon, something special took place.

As he looked at the smile on his infant brother’s face, he saw love and complete acceptance displayed there. He didn’t see disappointment or any sort of judgment, just admiration. For the first time in his life Jonathan felt his anxiety melt away.
