... she lied. “Are you sure?” “Of course Don,” she said. “You’re always extra aroused when I return. Don’t worry yourself about it.” Even though Don would again ask for the next several weeks, Angel never shared the truth. She feared he might think she tricked him. It was during her second visit home after that night that the Elder Council confirmed she was indeed with child. She couldn’t return home fast enough, and when she saw Don’s wave runner enter the cove, she swam out to him as she couldn’t wait to share the good news. It was the sound of Don’s wave runner that pulled Angel out of her memories. She wanted to swim out to him but she knew it was better to wait. She did swim toward him and he quickly slowed down and anchored. He swam to her, took her into is arms, and said, “Hello my beautiful wife. How are you two feeling?” “She got restless. I think she wanted to swim.” “Just her?” “Well, me too I guess.” “Are you feeling all right baby?” “Yeah, I just wish I could have come to your party. It looked like fun.” “But if you had, no one would have believed that I needed to be home this soon with you.

I know it will be a long time before she’s old enough for this, but I knew you’d love it.” Angel smiled as the doll made her think of her mother, and her red hair. “She’s perfect. She’ll love it.” “Ready to go in and rest my love?” Angel sighed. “Yes my love, I am.” Don and Angel walked into their house. Don fixed them dinner, then relaxed watching TV and Don playing with Angel’s stomach. He could feel his daughter move around within Angel’s swollen belly, laughing as they played. Angel smiled as she watched their interaction and knew this was well worth the price she paid for this moment, though the thought did make her shudder. “What’s wrong baby?” asked Don. “Nothing,” lied Angel. “I think she just… um… hit something?” “Maybe she tripped a nerve?” “Yes, that is it.” Don didn’t fully believe his wife, but he also knew her English skills were still limited and she would often mix up her idioms so he decided not to dwell on this. “Did I tell you Jason is coming by tomorrow?” “Yes,” she sighed. “What is it baby?” “Part of me still doesn’t like Jason for what he did to Grace, but I don’t see the heartless man she said he was.
