Antonia gives birth to a baby they name Enzo. She weeps for the whole first week after he is born. She weeps in gratitude that her body is still whole, and the scar from Robbie's birth is intact. She weeps when they leave the hospital and when they come home. She weeps and she comes back to herself. She weeps in relief because she is no longer scared.
