When Will got back to the farm, Doctor Wilson’s buggy was in the yard.

In his rush to get into the house, he went to tie Ginger to the porch, until he remembered the one time he’d done that, a few months previously. In the five minutes he was in the kitchen, his horse had managed to eat almost all of one of Sara’s climbing plants. Sara had not been pleased, to put it mildly.

He took Ginger to the fence on the far side of the yard and left her tied there instead, then sprinted back to the house and rushed inside.

The kitchen was empty. So was the living room. He at least had the presence of mind to knock on the closed bedroom door rather than bursting inside like he wanted to.

Daniel opened the door. His usually tanned skin was one shade up from lily-white. “Come on in.”

Sara was sitting up in the bed, Doctor Wilson placing his stethoscope into his bag at her side.

“Is everything all right?” Will asked, his heart thudding.

“Everything’s just fine,” Doc Wilson replied, with a smile Will imagined he thought reassuring. “The baby sounds good and healthy. It’s going to be a while yet though. I’ll come back later tonight and check on Mrs. Raine again.”

Will stared at him in horror. “You’re not staying? What if the baby comes?”

“Will, Doctor Wilson has better things to do than sit here watching me for hours,” Sara said.

Will disagreed, but he didn’t say so.

I am calm. I am most definitely not panicking.

Doctor Wilson picked up his bag and walked to the door. “I’ll bring Mei back with me in a couple of hours and check on Mrs. Raine again. If Mei thinks it’s necessary to stay, she will.” He smiled. “She’s much better at this than I am, believe me.”

Will wanted every medically trained person within a twenty mile radius there, but he’d heard enough women praise Mrs. Wilson’s midwifery skills to know Doctor Wilson was right. And he couldn’t expect both the doctor and his wife to stay with them for forty hours, if it took that long. They had their own children to take care of.

None of that made him any less worried though.

Doctor Wilson laid a hand on his shoulder. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Raine is young and strong, and the baby’s heartbeat is healthy. Everything will be just fine.”

Will nodded and tried to smile, although it felt more like a grimace. “Thanks, Doc.”

While Dan showed the doctor out, Will sat on the bed beside Sara. “How are you feeling?”

“I’m all right. A little nervous, but that’s to be expected. I’m fairly sure I’m less afraid than you and Daniel.”

He winced. “I’m sorry. I’m trying to be strong. This is very far beyond what I’m comfortable with.”

“I know, but I’m glad you’re here for Daniel. He seems a bit shaky right now.”

Will had seen his brother looking better, he had to agree. “He is looking a mite pale.”

“I thought he might actually pass out while the doctor was examining me.
