Horse Without Stomach

I gave birth to something small and round. The baby was given to Ella and Rowan to look after, I said that we could all share raising him. Rhian told me of attachment issues that could develop by him not being with any one parent consistently. I was worried. I came across Rowan with my baby on his hip in a public canteen and said – listen, I change my mind, can I have my baby back please I want to look after him all myself - but the baby was only a grape and I lost him amongst the bunch of grapes I was carrying.
