I have to feed him.
The baby latches on as soon as he's close enough, and immediately it hurts.
The stinging of my cut-up feet and the throbbing in my mutilated hand, now pressed tightly against the baby's back, should have been enough to numb the pain at my breast as the baby suckles.
But it hurts like it always has.
Worse now, because it's been so long.
For the first time since my child died, I feel tears gather at the corners of my eyes.
It can't be from the pain.
It must be from the relief of holding him in my arms once more.
Blinking hard, I look away and up at the moon, far away and distant, so I don't have to look at the baby pulling at my breast and making contented noises.
I've never heard him sound so satisfied before.
The witch watches me, her eyes empty and mocking in her young face as she chews absently on my finger, her knife nowhere to be seen.
Even though his feeding hurts more than any of the other pains, I feel a warmth fill my chest at those wet, satisfied slurps.
I've never felt that before.
I look down at the baby in amazement.
The skin of his head is looking pinker,
Against the bare skin of my cold arms, he feels warmer.
Where his little lips are working at my nipple, my skin is red and tearing.
I can feel something drip down the underside of my breast.
I frown, and even though it sends acid shooting down my arm for where I cut my finger off, I shift my grip to get him off my breast so I can get a better look.
The baby grumbles unhappily and nuzzles closer, sucks harder.
