Theme 1: Introduction

Chris paced back and forth outside the door. He knew every knot and scuff on the wooden floors beneath him. Anguished cries from inside made his heart wrench. He felt like he was going to be the one needing a doctor if this did not happen soon.

Somewhere in the back of his mind he was aware that it was a pleasant sunny day. Somewhere in the back of his mind he heard his best friend Buck ride up, but it wasn't until a hand seized his shoulder that he really noticed. Chris practically jumped out of his skin, sending Buck back a few steps. The other man raised his hands as if to calm a wild horse.

"Is it time?" Buck asked, casting a glance toward the house.

"Any minute," Chris replied his voice breathless with concern. Later Chris would muse that Buck always managed to show up at the right time even without meaning too, but at the moment Chris was to preoccupied with what was going on behind that door.

"Take a breath, pard," Buck laughed as he took the reigns of his horse and led it toward the barn out back. Chris leaned against the rail and took a deep breath as commanded. He had partly forgotten that he was supposed to do that.

A sudden shrill cry, followed by an earth shattering wail had him right back up again.

Chris pushed open the cabin door. Sara lay on the bed, sweat beading her forehead. She looked exhausted, but radiant. The neighbor's wife stood beside her, slowly swaying backward and foreword with the bundle in her arms. With a smile she walked over and placed the squawking, shriveled, wet little thing in his arms. He looked down at the baby and realized he would never see anything more beautiful than that in his entire life.

"Chris," Sara said, spreading some of her radiance his way. "Meet your son."

"Adam," he whispered looking down as the tiny fingers curled around his.


Alright hope you all enjoyed this chapter! More will come soon, please review -Zooky
