Midwifery/Jane Discovers the Truth

* * *

It had been a few weeks since Jane’s arrival to Salisbury. During which time, Emma had been called away several times to visit her expectant mothers. Whenever she returned home from a visit, Jane was very inquisitive as to how the mothers were getting along and how much longer before their babies might arrive. After a time, Jane decided to accompany Emma on many of her visits, as she found the whole thing to be extremely fascinating.

“Jane, it has been a joy for me that you have displayed such an interest in midwifery,” expressed Emma. “There is only one other midwife close by and she is getting along in years. Someday the town will be, again, in need of a midwife. As you have already learned most of the duties that are involved, you are sure to be accepted.”

“I have never known anything as wonderful as assisting you with the mothers,” replied Jane. “Our first delivery together ran through my mind for days. I can still see her little face as she entered the world. What a miracle of God.”

“I remember the excitement of my first delivery. I felt just as you do now. The joy of it all remains for some time,” replied Emma. “Oh Jane, do you think you could be happy here in Salisbury? You have seemed so in recent weeks.”

“Indeed, I believe that I shall be quite happy. Remaining in Ipswich would have been too much of a reminder of Nathan, though my lonely heart persists even here in Salisbury. However, God in His mercy has seen fit to keep me otherwise occupied with the midwifery and new friendships, so I have had little time for such thoughts,” replied Jane.

“Tomorrow I should like for you to take a day for yourself,” said Emma. “You and Madeline ought to work on her quilt, as it shall not be long before Elizabeth’s new little one will arrive.”

“Yes, and perhaps Bridget will be free to join us,” replied Jane.
