Alcina fed her son for the first time and closed her eyes, feeling him against her skin. He was perfectly alright to her. He was weak but the ladies said that with proper care he would be fine. She just needed to take extra care of him. 

When her baby slept in his arms after his tummy was full, he was comfortably nestled in her arms. It was the best feeling in the world. And she couldn't help God enough for gracing her with this moment. She handed her baby to the kind old lady after making sure that he was asleep and untied the necklace that she was still wearing and passed it to the daughter of the old lady. 

"This is the least I could do to repay what you did for me, "Alcina said in English because the girl could understand it. It was her luck that she came across few English speakers. Although it was heavily accented, it was still better than nothing. 

The older lady placed the baby back in her arms and waved her hands frantically. "No. No. No. No."
