He woke up around normal time.  2:30 am.  It was time to feed his screaming baby.  The screaming wakes him up religiously.  The schedule hasn’t changed in weeks, if anything as time goes on it has been written in pen and no longer pencilled in tentatively.  The screaming comes on as a full wail. No in between.  Ripping him out of bed to quickly soothe the pain that has sent hurled adreniline into his body in it’s ritualistic way.  Covers thrown off the bed fast and precise to not wake up his wife, he jumps to his feet and throws his body towards the crib.  3 steps, in the pitch black.  The frantic action that has tensed up his body to the point where he can feel the muscles harden in his arms, legs and back, slacken.  He doesn’t want to pick up his son in a panic.  Calm, you got him.  He will be fine now.

“Shhhhhh, I got you buddy, it’s ok.  Daddy has you.  You want your bottle?  You hungry”

“Of course I’m fucking hungry, I’m 8 weeks old you SOB.  FEEEEEEEEDDDDDD MEEEEEEEEE!”

The wailing subsides and turns to low grunting murmurs of half sleep and pure hunger.  The shushing continues as he straightens up, baby in his arms, trying to shake off the tenseness that sent him careening towards the screaming pain that woke him.
