The boy looked up at the man, and got all snuggled up as soon as he was lifted. He seemed to sigh the way babies did as they relax, which is exactly what he seemed to be doing. He fell right back to sleep as Edward held him, and Ruth seemed to stir when she went to snuggle the baby and he wasn't there. She bolted upright, squinting around sleepily, "Jacob?" she asked thickly before her eyes landed upon Edward. She visibly relaxed from her temporary panic. "I'm sorry," she murmured then and moved to stand and was about to reach her arms out to take the boy if Edward did not wish to hold him. Normally, she'd have already been on her way to see her mother so Jacob could glean all the love he could from Lottie, who loved Jacob fiercely it seemed... but she just didn't feel up for a weekend in the crowded Blacke family home.
