- My love, here you are at last! Meet our son Brennan Peter Francis." Julian said as his fiancée arrived
"- He's beautiful, he looks just like you, darling."
The child began to cry.
"He's hungry. Are you going to give him a bottle?
- No, I'm going to nurse him. Put him against me." asked Kelly, who didn't dare get up
"- I'll wait outside. Come and get me when the little one's fed, I've got a present for Kelly."
The couple nodded, Julian put the baby down for two minutes in his plastic cradle to help his wife uncover her breasts, then gave the little one to his mother. Brennan found his mother's breast without difficulty. When he stopped suckling, Kelly handed the newborn to Julian, who put Brennan back in his crib, took Kelly in his arms and put her to bed. He then went to fetch Father Brennan.
"Miss Smith, I've come to bring you help from the heavenly doctor!
Kelly looked at her friend without understanding. Father Brennan reached into his chapel case, which had been left in the bedroom, opened it and took out the anointing oil and a book of blessings. He then approached Kelly to mark her with the oil, but she burst out laughing.
"- What's the matter?"
"- With a stole and a Roman collar, wouldn't it be more serious?" Kelly teased
Father Brennan then noticed that he was still wearing a white smock, so he took it off, hid it under the bed, took his stole and administered the Sacrament of the Sick to his friend.
