New Daddy Takes Charge

A newborn baby. Such excitement! All the relatives descend on the new parents. Grabbing their newborn, fighting over her. Shouting out their choice of names. A newborn baby. Begins screaming, feeling the tension. The new mommy is closing into a turtle shell. Intimidated by his relatives. The new daddy leads them all out, like herding cats. Stepping up, like a new daddy should.
