your company. Tillie’s husband will be coming soon to take her

home, and Auntie doesn’t say very much. It will be good to know

you’re nearby to protect me and Hope.”

He sat up straight, swallowed, and stared her full in the face.

“I’ll protect you and your babies forever, Mrs. MacDougal.”

“Thank you, Daniel. I’ll clean up here. You go help Mr. Ross.”

After Daniel left, quietly shutting the door before jumping in the

air and racing away, Amelia dropped her face in her hands. She’d

come out here to marry Nevin and care for Hope. Now, she had a

baby and a boy, as well as an elderly aunt, a husband, and two

brothers-in-law, at least one of whom wanted to share her bed.

And a dirty kitchen. She rose to her feet. Having Daniel around

was a blessing. He’d be the one collecting eggs from nasty chickens,

milking the goats, and chopping kindling after Tilly left. He’d be

company, as well. Knowing a boy was around, perhaps the

MacDougal men wouldn’t be after her day and night. And now, she’d

have a reason to tell herself “no” when her body wanted the same

thing they did.

“We can’t—Daniel might hear us!”

Ross looked down at his wife with the look that had stopped many

two-legged varmints in their tracks. Amelia poked him in the stomach

to emphasize her point. He caught her hand and shook his head. No

boy of ten, asleep or not, was going to keep him from bedding his

wife.

Gillis had told him to expect this reaction. When Prudence first

arrived, he and Nevin had disappeared between supper and breakfast

for most of the summer. At first, it was to let the newlyweds be

together. All that billing and cooing had both him and Nev gagging.

But Prue’s cries of release accompanied by Gillis’s bellows kept them

away.
