Chapter 13

It was a little crowded with the four adults in the small hut, but since they took turns sleeping they made it work, but Brooke was finding it increasingly hard to hide her condition. Morning sickness had hit her hard over the last few days. Mary had given her an herbal tea that seemed to help, but twice she’d had to leave the hut and empty her stomach before she felt better. Luckily, Mary had been the only one in the hut both times, but she knew the day was coming when Carter would figure it out, he was too good of a doctor not to notice the signs.

She’d caught him watching her several times, and when she’d met his eyes, hoping to read what he was thinking in them, she was disappointed to find she couldn’t. Carter had obviously perfected the perfect blank face, a necessary ability, if you were a doctor. As the days passed and Calvin began to get better, Carter began spending more and more time in the hut. It felt a bit like he was stalking her, just waiting for that one thing that would confirm his suspicions.

Carter had indeed been watching Brooke ever since one of the village men, worried about her, had asked Carter if she felt better. When he’d just looked at the man, he’d gone on to explain that he’d seen her throwing up in the woods the day before. He’d been suspicious that something was up with Brooke; she’d been behaving strangely, even under the circumstances. Once he’d started watching her more carefully, he became convinced that she was pregnant and had known that when they’d set out weeks ago.

All the signs were there when you knew what to look for. He wasn’t sure if he was angry or excited. One thing for sure, he needed to get her out of here as fast as he could. He treated Calvin a bit more aggressively than he normally would have, hoping that he’d get better faster, but his body was pretty badly damaged and it would take time to heal. There was nothing he could do to speed the healing of his ribs or the numerous bruises. That would just take time. He had just about decided that it was time to confront Brooke about her condition when life took care of it for him.

They’d just finished dinner, eating in the hut because the weather had turned rainy, when Brooke jumped up and ran out of the hut. Mary looked after her concerned, but didn’t dare follow her, but when they could hear Brooke retching out behind the hut, she got to her feet and put a pinch of herbs in a cup and then poured hot water into the cup. She took the cup and left the tent without ever looking at Carter and closed the door firmly behind her.

Carter waited patiently for her to return, debating with himself whether to yell at her or let Calvin do it when he woke up.
