“How is she?” Clay asked when I came into the house, my dress wet through and tired down to my bones.

“Fine. She’s doing just fine.”

“Wish I could say the same for you. You look wrung out, wife. Come on, let’s get you in some dry clothes and you can rest for a spell.”

“Thank you,” I accepted gratefully.

We went toward the bedroom and once inside Clay helped me by undoing my dress and handing me my nightdress. “Use this for now.”

Accepting it from him, I slipped into it, sighing gratefully as the soft, dry fabric went over my body.

“Why don’t you lie down? You look like you could use some rest.”

“Lie with me?” I invited. “I want to tell you about it.”

Clay grimaced comically. “Oh, I dunno, Maggie.”

“Please.”

It was all I needed to say and Clay threw back the covers, letting me lie down first before he slid in beside me. “She’s really alright?”

“Oh, she will be, but I don’t mind telling you, it was a hard ordeal.”

He winced and I knew he was thinking of our own baby. “Do you reckon it’s always like that?”

“Yes,” I told him gently. “But don’t fret, Clay. Abby’s as good a midwife as I’ve ever seen.”

“That’s alright then.”

“She’s beautiful, Clay.”

“A girl, eh? How does Wesley feel about that?”

“Oh, I think if Libby’d given birth to a calf he still would have looked at her like she hung the moon.”

“I reckon you’re right. That’s how I’ll look at you, you know.”

I smiled at his soft, sensuous words, drinking in his face before I closed my eyes with his hand resting protectively over my stomach.
