Tiniest baby Linda collapsed onto the floor the moment Mom lowered her from warm arms.
Her tiny face twisted red with fury as shock turned instantly into angry betrayal today.
A piercing scream ripped from her chest louder than such a small body should allow.
Linda kicked the floor wildly as if the ground itself had committed the offense today.
Mom knelt beside her startled by the sudden storm exploding from such tiny lungs now.
She spoke softly trying to calm the fire without adding fear to the moment inside.
Linda only screamed harder tiny fists slamming tiles with every breath of furious protest today.
Tears flooded instantly mixing anger and helplessness into one unbearable shaking emotion inside her chest.
Mom remained steady refusing to lift her until rage softened into something she could reach.
The floor felt cold beneath Linda’s trembling body abandoned from the only comfort she knew.
Her scream cracked into sobs as exhaustion finally pierced through the wall of anger inside.
Mom waited one heartbeat more teaching patience even when every instinct begged to rescue now.
At last Linda’s cries weakened collapsing into fragile hiccups shaking her tiny ribs painfully soft.
Mom lifted her then wrapping the smallest furious body back into safe familiar warmth again.
Linda resisted weakly once more then melted into the chest she had been demanding all.
Hot tears soaked Mom’s shirt but the screaming was finally replaced with broken breathing sounds.
Anger drained away leaving only a tired newborn seeking safety after the storm passed through.
Mom rocked her slowly not scolding now only teaching calm through steady loving motion today.
The tiniest tantrum ended not with punishment but with warmth patience and quiet understanding together.
Linda slept at last spent and safe the world returned gentle after a violent outburst.
