Chapter 16 - Bug Out! - Run from the Border

Sarah looked over at their 5th Wheel, as Frank and Sean went around the front to the other side. She sighed.

“What?” asked Jane.

“Sean doesn’t need help. He wants to talk to your hubby, where us women folk won’t hear. He thinks I’m stupid.”

“I hate when they do that.”

“Me too, but I know Sean is just trying to keep me from getting too upset.”

Jane looked Sarah in the eye like she wanted to say something, but she kept quiet.

“You want to ask me something, don’t you? Don’t be afraid, Jane.”

“You’re pregnant, aren’t you?”

Sarah gave her a startled look.

“How did you know that? Am I showing already?”

“No, but I can tell. I’ve always been able to tell. I don’t know why. Turning down the beer the way you did helped.”

“What way?”

Jane smiled. “Well, ’I’d better not’ sounded a little suspicious.”

“Oh,” Sarah said. She smiled.

“Does Sean know?”

“Of course. I think that’s why he wanted to leave right away.”

“He probably heard things at his job,” Jane said, taking a sip of her beer. “That’s what they're talking about.”

Sarah nodded.

“Don’t worry,” said Jane. “I’ll get them to tell us when they get done with their little conference. I don’t take that coddling crap from my hubby. And he knows it.”

Sarah looked down. She didn’t say anything for a few seconds. Then she looked up.

“I understand what you’re saying, Jane, but I don’t want to make a fuss.”

“Why? Are you afraid of Sean?”

“No, not at all. He’s worried about giving me too much stress this early in the pregnancy. I’m concerned about that too.”

“Alright, then I won’t ask questions. I’m sure Frank will fill me in later. He’s good about that.”

“Thank you, Jane.”

“Here they come,” Jane said. She got up. “You two ready for more beer?”

“That would be great, honey,” Frank said as he walked up. “Maybe an IPA this time.”

“Coming up. How about you, Sean, want to try one of those IPAs?”

“Another Coors would be fine with me. I’m not a big hops fan.”

Jane went into the coach to fetch the beers. She came back to silence. She handed out the beers and sat down.

“Lively group,” she said.

“It’s been a really long day for all of us,” Frank said.

“I’ll say,” Sean added. “Nice to finally get a break.”

“How long are you folks going to stay here?” asked Jane. She took a sip of her beer.

Sean looked over at Sarah.

“Don’t know,” he said. He watched Sarah for a reaction.

“I’ll go along with whatever you think is safest, Sean. You know that.”

“Okay. I just don’t…”

“Sean, Jane knows," Sarah said. "She figured it out on her own, so no need to tiptoe around.”

Sean got an embarrassed look on his face.

“Okay, what did I miss?” asked Frank.

“Sarah is pregnant, dummy,” Jane said. She enjoyed Frank’s shocked look.

“Ohhhhhh,” he said. “That puts a new spin on things.”

“Sorry, Frank,” Sean said. “I didn’t want to tell you that until I asked Sarah first.”

“Hey, no problem at all, Sean. We’ve only just met, you know.
