Lori woke up in the middle of the night, still a bit sore but overall she felt better Gabriel had fussed over her all night. She had told him everything about
Asher and Jared. Everything he needed to know and with the look on his face, Lo just knew that they would never bother her again.
She went to the nursery. She had not seen Emilia since she left and when she go back Gabriel made her lie in bed and eat then sleep. Promising her that
the baby was doing fine without her.
In the nursery Emilia was sleeping peacefully. Lori smiled as she realized that Jenny had swaddled her with the wrong blanket.
She felt tired. And sore too. Her boobs felt heavy. She had not pumped all day, she thought as she left the nursery.
If she didn’t pump before daybreak they would be sore and hard and she wasn’t about to deal with all of that.
In the kitchen she pulled out the breast pumps and milk storage bags and got to work, rubbing her sleepy eyes in the process as she put on her phone.
She switched to Instagram. She had harmlessly created an account a few days ago With a fake name though and she found the app quite addicting. She
loved scrolling through the explore page and finding different things.
She was aimlessly scrolling through her photos when she heard someone’s footsteps. She looked behind her and saw Gabriel. He must have got up when he
noticed she wasn’t in bed.
‘Can’t sleep?”
He asked and she shook her head.
“Sort of. I just need to pump.”
She said as she pointed at the storage bags on the counter. Gabriel nodded.
‘Did I wake you?”
She asked quietly and he shook his head.
They were silent again.
With only the two of them awake and everybody else sleeping, the only constant moise was the silent hum of the refrigerator.
Im sorry for what happened…”
Gabriel shook his head.
‘It wasn’t your fault. You don’t have to keep apologizing.
“I mean you had no idea they were going to come and see you.”
He reassured and Lori nodded.
He walked to the fridge to get a glass of water. Lori removed the pump, transfering the milk into a bottle first.
Gabriel turned to watch. It was fascinating to him, the human body, the way it pduced the milk.

“What?”
Lori asked as she caught him staring.
‘Nothing. I just wonder how it tastes like.”
He said and Lori chuckled. She had tasted it before, it didn’t taste like much. It tasted sweet, that was what she remembered.
“Do you want to taste it?”
She asked him and he shook his head.
“Wouldn’t that be weird?”
He asked and she shrugged.
‘I don’t see why it would be weird. It’s just milk.”
She said and Gabriel shrugged.
“Okay.”
“Get a cup.”
She asked him and he did, hastily in fact.
He passed her a cup and she poured him some milk from the bottle.
She didn’t put much, just enough to be considered a mouthful.
“Okay. Here it is. Taste it.”
She said as she passed him the cup.
Gabriel stared at it for a while before taking the cup and having a sip.
He swished the liquid in his mouth for a while before swallowing.
“So? How does it taste?”
She asked and he shrugged.
‘Very sweet…’
‘I’m not sure I was expecting it to be so sweet.
Lori rolled her eyes. Grace did mention something about him not having a sweetboth.
‘Does it taste like actual milk to you?”
She asked and he tilted his head in thought.
“Hnmm. I don’t think so. It does have a milky taste, but I think it’s also very wat y.”

Lori nodded her head.
He was right. That was a close and accurate description of what it tasted like.
“Well! You’re actually right.”
‘I see why babies like it.”
He added.
That was when it hit him! He was foolish!
