Entry 27: I can not believe what has happened to me today. Seven months ago I left Hannah in New York with a heavy heart and today she came to see me on the homestead. She is pregnant with my child, has been all this time and I did not know. Hannah said she would not have bothered to seek me out if it weren't for what the child was. Native American is what she meant by this and unfortunately I understood. I took away her future, where could she find a husband willing to take care of and treat a native american child like his own? I am not sure she could. Immediately I offered her the manor as a new home for her and the child when it was born. Hannah accepted the offer of course, I knew she had come to me looking for help and it was my responsibility to give it to her, that and because I love her is why I so readily helped her.

Entry 28: News got around to the men and women of the homestead within hours of Hannah getting settled in the manor but did not ask me about until a few days later. When they finally came up to me it was with congratulations that I was soon to be a father. after that initial wave that I appreciated to a degree, another topic surrounding Hannah and my situation surfaced, the fact that we were not married was troubling to some and when I asked Hannah if it bothered her at all she gave an answer that implied it did bother her, at least a little. So I pondered over that thought, should I marry her?, would I like to? After a week I decided on the subject and proposed to her behind the manor, on the edge of the cliff. She said yes.

Entry 29: The wedding has gone and went now. It took place in Timothy's church exactly how Hannah wanted it. It hit me when she was walking down the aisle how much the dynamic of my life is about to change. I am now a husband with a child due to arrive any day now, a family man. The manor might very well become a little bit crammed with both my own new family and Aveline's. I may need to help start a construction on another house for them.

Now my mind wonders to the brotherhood and my place in it. I am the mentor here and still have a lot of work ahead of me.
