Vera's Cry
In Emma's embrace, as she gently rocked Vera, the woman began to fall back into a deep sleep. Vera's previous loud cries softened into quieter sobs. Emma and Vera looked like a blend of coffee and milk, with Emma's dark skin contrasting against Vera's fair complexion."Sleep, my dear... Mama will always take care of you tonight..."Emma continued to sing a lullaby to Vera, her gentle voice filling the quiet night.Vera, cradled in Emma's arms, appeared calm and comfortable, her head resting on Emma's large, soft chest like a protective pillow.Elio entered the room cautiously, carrying a baby bottle filled with milk. Seeing Vera asleep in Emma's arms, he felt a mix of relief and strangeness at the sight of his wife appearing like a baby in the maid's embrace."Vera, darling... Mama is here... Sleep peacefully, sweetie..."Emma continued singing the lullaby softly, the song acting like a soothing spell for Vera's sleep.Elio whispered to avoid waking Vera,"Emma, is she asleep again?"Emma, still rocking Vera, responded gently,"Yes, sir. She seems to find comfort in being held and rocked like this."Elio placed the baby bottle on the bedside table,"Thank goodness. I was really worried earlier. Her cries were so loud, I didn't know what to do.""Luckily, I have experience taking care of babies, sir. That's why I knew what to do. We need to have a lot of patience when caring for a baby."Emma said, still holding and rocking Vera in her arms."WHAAA...!! WHAAAAA..!!"Suddenly, Vera began crying again while still in Emma's arms, causing Elio to panic once more."WHAAA...!! WHAAAA...!!"Vera's sudden cries turned the room tense again.Emma, still holding Vera gently, tried to calm her down by hugging her more tightly."Calm down, sweetheart... Mama is here..."Elio, panicked by Vera's crying, quickly looked for a solution. He hurriedly grabbed the baby bottle filled with milk, hoping it would soothe Vera."Here, Vera darling, drink this."Elio offered the baby bottle to Vera, but she refused and continued crying, making Elio even more frustrated."Why do you keep crying, Vera?!!"Adding to the chaos, Emma's breasts began to ache again from not being used for breastfeeding or pumping all day. The pain in her chest intensified, but she tried hard to hide it from Elio.The pain felt like sharp, hot needles piercing her chest, and Emma desperately wanted to relieve it, but the stressful situation left her with no choice but to endure it.Meanwhile, still holding Vera, Emma felt increasingly trapped by the mounting pressure in her chest. Seeing her engorged breasts full of unused milk, Emma felt unbearable pressure.Each breath felt like a sword stabbing her chest. Emma struggled to think of a way to ease the pain."Oh my, the pain in my chest."She whispered to herself."Vera dear... Vera beautiful... Vera smart... Please stop crying, sweetie..!!"Elio's frustration and helplessness were evident, his expression showing his inability to handle the situation."Oh, how can I make this chest pain go away?"Emma kept whispering to herself. Each breath felt like more swords stabbing her chest. She fought to find a way to ease the pain."Vera, please stop crying! I'm begging you..!"Elio's frustration and helplessness were becoming more apparent as Vera continued to cry.The longer Emma endured the pain in her breasts, the worse it became, and she could no longer resist the urge to express the abundant milk.In desperation, she looked at Vera crying in her arms, and finally, she bit her lower lip, and began to find a way to relieve the pain in her chest."I can't hold it any longer. It hurts too much."Emma whispered with a trembling voice so Elio wouldn't hear."Sorry, Mrs. Vera, but you have to help me relieve this pain."Emma's breast pain intensified. An idea flashed through her mind to relieve the pain.Still holding and rocking Vera, Emma tried to divert Elio's attention."Mr. Elio,"Emma said with a voice full of desperation yet still gentle,"Could you please fetch the baby pacifier from my room? It's in the top drawer of the table. Maybe Mrs. Vera needs something to suck on while sleeping; that's what a pacifier is for."Elio, already frustrated and exhausted, immediately trusted Emma's words."Okay, Emma. I'll get it now. Please try to calm her down in the meantime,"Elio replied with a hopeful tone.Elio rushed to Emma's room. Meanwhile, Emma continued to hold Vera gently, even though the pain in her chest was becoming unbearable."Calm down, Mrs. Vera dear, calm down..."Emma whispered while swaying Vera's body gently.After a while, Elio returned to the room with the baby pacifier Emma requested."Here's the pacifier, Emma."Elio said, his breath still a bit labored from hurrying."Thank you, sir."Emma nodded."Please put the pacifier on the table."Without thinking twice, Elio placed the pacifier on the table.Meanwhile, Vera was still crying,"WHAAAA...!! WHAAA...!!""Mr. Elio,"Emma said urgently."Could you step out of the room for a moment? I think Vera needs some quiet and doesn't want too many people around her. Sometimes babies are like that; they need a calmer environment to sleep."Elio looked confused,"Why should I leave the room? This is my room, and Vera is my wife."Emma tried to explain patiently, despite feeling pressured."I understand, Mr. Elio. But trust me, sometimes babies need a completely calm atmosphere and don't want many people around when trying to sleep. I believe if you give me a few moments, I can calm Vera down."Elio felt puzzled by the request, but his frustration and fatigue made him relent."Alright, Emma. I'll step out for a bit. Please make sure she calms down.""Thank you, Mr. Elio. I'll do my best."Emma replied with a reassuring voice.Elio left the room with a look of confusion and anxiety. Emma waited until Elio's steps faded and the sound of the door closing outside the room. Quickly, Emma locked the door from the inside.***Now, in the room alone with Vera still crying loudly in her arms, Emma sat on the edge of the bed, laying Vera on her lap.With a sense of guilt, Emma spoke softly,"I'm sorry, Mrs. Vera. I have to do this."With trembling hands, Emma unbuttoned her blouse, revealing her very large, full breasts, swollen with milk.She carefully guided Vera's head, ensuring she was comfortable. She positioned her supple nipple, surrounded by a dark, wide areola, near Vera's mouth.Gently stroking Vera's cheek, Emma helped her mouth to open and softly placed her nipple against Vera's lips.Vera's body responded with a natural reflex, her mouth starting to suckle on Emma's nipple with a steady rhythm.Emma felt Vera taking more and more gulps, a sign that her milk was flowing abundantly into Vera's mouth.The soft suckling of Vera's lips on her nipple made Emma wince, but slowly the pain in her chest began to subside.Emma felt immense relief, both from the pain in her breasts easing and from Vera's crying stopping.Vera, who had been crying loudly, started to calm down and nursed hungrily, clearly very thirsty."I knew you must be hungry, Mrs. Vera. Drink up!"Emma said softly as she breastfed, looking at Vera's innocent face as she suckled directly from her breast."I hope this helps us both."Emma continued to cradle Vera gently, ensuring she was breastfeeding comfortably.Outside the room, Elio stood with his ear pressed to the door, trying to hear what was happening inside.As Vera's crying stopped, Elio let out a long sigh, feeling relieved yet curious about what Emma was doing with his wife in the room.Elio wanted to call Emma quietly, but afraid of waking Vera up again, he decided against it.Elio felt confused yet relieved to hear Vera's cries subside."Is Vera not crying anymore?"Elio wondered, but he didn't dare knock on the door, trusting the situation to Emma.Inside the room, Emma continued to breastfeed Vera, making sure she was truly comfortable and calm.Emma's milk flowed freely, and Vera looked increasingly satisfied and hungry."It turns out I was right, you were fussy because you were thirsty. It's natural since you haven't drunk anything since arriving at this house this afternoon. You only wanted to nurse."Outside the room, Elio felt very relieved because Vera's crying was no longer heard."Well done, Emma. You are truly amazing. I was right in choosing you to be the maid in this house."Elio smiled, praising Emma, unaware of what his maid was actually doing with his wife inside the room.
