Summary
9 January 1960
The baby came. During the witching hour, because of course he would. Toby noticed me glancing toward the clock as the midwife tidied up. Asked if the boy was unfashionably early, all smiling. He’s so proud. Gran used to say nothing pleased men more than proof they’re men, and she was right. Never seen Toby smile quite like this, nor seen anything near it since our wedding neither. About the clock, I didn’t know how to answer him, so I didn’t. Must’ve thought me worn out, I suppose. He told me to sleep and he’d wake me when the baby needed to eat.
So I slept. Suppose he didn’t have to wonder why I kept so quiet, for once. I never know what to say when he gets to asking about all I can’t answer.
His name is Severus. Toby doesn’t care for it. Were I cleverer, neither would I. Should name him William or Peter or Thomas or Henry or James, something proper and regular.
Then were I cleverer, I wouldn’t be here to begin with.
