Not long after chugging down her milk, Trista fell asleep again.
Baillie took a work call midway through and then dipped out.
Paige sat on the bed, sounding a bit helpless, "Before I got pregnant, I always saw these posts online from new moms saying that after giving birth, their husbands only had eyes for the baby, completely ignoring them. But why is it the complete opposite with me? If he continues to not like our child, what am I supposed to do?"
Paige looked helplessly at Rosalynn.
Despite her best efforts to soothe him, Baillie was stubborn.
"Give him some more time, just a tad bit more," Rosalynn comforted Paige, "Once it hits him that he's this little one's dad, he'll come around."
Paige let out a sigh, nodding her head.
"Alright, lay it on me! How'd you convince Jacob?" Paige changed the subject at lightning speed.
Rosalynn pondered for a bit.
Then shook her head, "Strictly speaking, I can't take the credit for this."
"Then who should take the credit?" Paige asked, surprised.
Rosalynn looked at Paige, "Erica."
When they left the restaurant, Jacob didn't cut Shawn any slack.
He demanded that Shawn choose between bankruptcy and losing his loved ones.
But...
When he randomly caught sight of Shawn's wife and daughter in the lobby, the look in his eyes when he saw the woman, it was as if his soul was shattered in an instant.
Rosalynn had never seen Erica in her younger days.
Nor did she think Shawn's wife bore any resemblance to Erica.
But she guessed, in that moment, Jacob must have seen something in Shawn's wife that reminded him of Erica.
Even if it was just a fleeting moment, it was enough to shake Jacob's resolve.
