Joe wrapped his hand tightly around the neck of the bottle. Right now he was glad he bought the higher price whiskey that came in the glass bottle rather than the cheap plastic bottle kind, cause what he was about to do he need something that could atleast be alittle use to take out the four other bums with knives. Joe stood up and walked to the men and stopped right infront of them, putting his hands behind his back gripping tighter on the bottle. "ahh, so you come to join the party man!" one of the bums said to joe raising his hand for a high five. Joe knew he'd only get one chance for this he took his hand that held the bottle and whacked so fast upside the head, he didnt even know it was coming. The three other guys stumbled in shock, but before any of them could pull there knives Joe whacked them upside the head like he did with the first. He turned towards the girl. She was wide eyed and was about to scream until he spoke "Its okay sweetheart, i'm gonna get rid of them.. how about you and your kid take my jacket and go to the other end." he spoke his tone so soft and gently. She nodded taking the jacket and walked towards the far end like he told her.
He sat down on the wall not far from hers and looked up at her. "You dont look like a person who would be riding the rails. Especially with a infant. He dont even look about a two months old." he nodded towards the infant in her arms. She pulled him closer to her body feeling his warmth. "So why are you riding the rails?" he asked rubbing his arms trying to warm them. she looked away from his face and back at her son. "You sure you dont want your jacket back?" she barely whispered but he still heard. "No, no.. you keep it, but when we depart i need it back." He layed the back of his head onto the wall and shut his eyes.
He tightened his eyes tighter seeing the back of his eyelids. Was this the girl his wife had been talking about? Was this the girl she wanted him to replace her with? so many questions ran through his head. He pictured himself with the girl who was sitting with her infant infront of him but immediately shoved the picture away. How could he think about her when he knew his wife was the only one he was ever gonna love for his whole life. He remembered when he promised his wife to love again when she pasted but he thought she was joking cause she was healthy as could be so he just went along with it. For the past two years he has been riding the railroads trying to forget about that day and dreams and hopefully die soon to return to his wife and son.
His thoughts immediately broke when he heard the girl infront of him whimper. His eyes shot open and went straight for the girl to see her looking down in pain breast feeding her son. Joe knew he shouldnt be looking but her did anyways. The baby started to cry and she cried with him "Jamie please eat." she let out another whimper. He stands up and walks closer to her "You alright there hun?" she sniffled alittle bit more "He wont eat.." he looked towards the little boy. Joe moved his hand towards the boy moving it away from the breast to see the problem. It was a dark purple blotches all around her breast. Joe knew no baby could do that but only a grown man could. Joe looked up meeting the girls gaze again. "When we get to the next town you should go to a doctor and get that checked out." she shook her head no and shuffling her body around. "Well if you wont get help i'll get you some formula to feed your son how about that?" he questioned "thank yo" Damn joe thought what the hell is that smell, but he already knew he didnt eben know why he was asking himself that question it was coming from the baby. For some odd reason that particular odor always went straight up and no where else, so It went straight to joe's nose. He wrinkled his nose again. "Hey hun, I think your baby just took a shit." she looked down not meeting his gaze again. "I know.." "Well arent ya gonna change him" he questioned. "I can't" "Why not? have you never changed a baby before?" she didnt say anything. He reached for the boy "Here i'll show ya how to hun" "Its not that i dont know how. Its just u dont have any diapers for him" she pushed joes arms away. "What do you mean you dont have a diaper for him?" "When i was running to catch the train, i had him in one arm and the diaper and his blanket in the other but i kept stumbling and dropping things so i just left them hoping i could get to another town soon to buy more before this would happen" she met his gaze. He let out breathe, running his hand through his hair. He started pulling off his shirt. The girl jerked awayas far as possible "what are you doing?"
