When Eyes First Meet

Duncan and Harriet, Marham, circa 1100 AD

-x-x-x-x-

She never wanted this, the young girl thinks as she lay on the straw mattress, exhausted and dizzy after the birth of her baby. She should have been older; married. She should have been at home, with her mother and a midwife, her husband pacing the floor in the room next door. Not here, thrown out of her home by her Lady, taking shelter at the nearest nunnery. She is just a poor servant girl, young and naïve; who was she to deny her Lord when he came calling with softly whispered words of love and kisses that burned her skin.

The shrill cries of her child jolt her back into the present.

"It's a boy," the kindly old nun says as she places the bundled babe in the new mother's arms. The girl gazes down at the tiny face, marvelling at how something so tiny and beautiful had come from her. The baby immediately stops his cries and blinks his eyes open and closed, as if trying to focus on his ma.

When his pale grey eyes finally meet his mother's gentle brown eyes, the young girl's heart breaks, making the decision to give up her son that much harder.

"You have your da's eyes."
