“Oh, Luke! That was a bad one,” Christine gasped. “You better go for Mark.”

“I’m going. I’ll run over and ask Amy to sit with you.”

“Fine.” She gasped again as another contraction seized her. The last had subsided and another had started when Luke’s horse raced toward Silas’.

Mandy, having heard the horse approach, was out of her bed and on the stairway when Luke pounded, making her the first to the door.

“I have to go for Mark. Please ask Amy to go over with Christine.” He was racing for the horse when Silas’ shout stopped him.

“Luke, stay with Christine! I’ll go for Mark!” It took a moment for the words to sink in and then Luke was swinging back off the horse and running for his house.

“I’ll go over and see if there’s anything I can do, Silas. I’ll be dressed in a minute.”

“Mandy, that’s not a good idea. It’s not very pleasant for a woman—”

Mandy’s laughter stopped him. “Silas, you’re forgetting I’m the oldest in my family. I was three years old when I watched Mama have Carrie.”

Silas heard her move off in the dark before rushing to Amy to tell her what was going on. Amy was still standing in sleepy surprise at the bottom of the stairs, long after the sound of the horse’s hooves had died away.

“Did Silas tell you I was going next door?”

“Oh, Mandy you startled me. Yes, yes he said you were going over. Would you rather I went?”

“No, I’ll be fine.”

Amy was secretly relieved. She had listened to the stories her sisters-in-law told, and she wasn’t really sure she wanted to be anywhere near a woman in labor.
