My Name is NOT Cupcake

The next morning, I woke to the sound of a baby. Confused, I yawned and looked around confused. I brushed my teeth and hair before I followed the crying to a room down the hall from me. I saw a baby that couldn't be older than eight months old. I looked around but it was just this baby boy. My need to nurture kicked in and I picked the baby out of the crib and cradled him.

I popped it in the microwave for just a little bit before I tested it and fed the bottle to Rhett. I sat with him in the living room as the TV droned on numbly. I noticed that Rhett's skin felt
