To Be or Not to Be
Ch 1
Anita sat on the grass of the new house she and William had "bought". Well it was really a house that had been abandoned at the start of the war. William had said the owners had taken a "holiday" and wouldn't be returning any time soon. She watched their one-year-old son roll around on the lawn. She smiled and set down her book.
" Joseph come to mama!" she encouraged as he toddled over to her.
She picked him up and swung him around. He giggled and shrieked as she played with him. She put him on her hip and pulled him back to where she was sitting. He squirmed trying to touch a butterfly floating just out of his grasp. Anita set him down and he toddled and plopped down when he was tired.
" Come here sweetie." Anita said picking him up again.
She saw horses in the distance and waited on the front porch for William and his guest to arrive. Bordon and William got to the house in less than five minutes. Ebony walked out onto the porch her hand on her full stomach waiting for her husband. She and James had met both very depressed and lonely they had gotten married a few months after Anita had Joseph. She was now pregnant with their first child.
" They must be exhausted." Anita sighed.
" Do you think James will like the baby room?" Ebony asked.
" I think he will like it very much." Anita smiled.
She had helped Ebony set up the baby room that day and she was very impressed with their work.
William dismounted his stallion, he and Bordon walked up to the porch. Joseph gurgled and reached for William. Anita handed him to his father. William smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
" It's the big boy!" He sighed. The baby's eyes were ice blue no doubt he would grow up looking just like his father.
" Hello My Lady." He said kissing quickly.
" Hello." She replied.
Bordon had his arm around Ebony; they were watching their friends intently and smiled.
" Well maybe we had better leave two catch up on "things"." Bordon hinted.
" Well are you sure you aren't the ones who want to do the "catching up"?" William smirked.
"Perhaps." Bordon said. Ebony blushed and looked down.
" Oh they were only joking." Anita said.
The men laughed out loud.
" You were weren't you?" Anita demanded coldly.
They stopped immediately.
" Of course we were." Bordon said.
" Right, let's eat shall we I'm starving." William changed the subject.
The gentlemen walked in first, Anita stayed behind to talk to Ebony.
" Things look back to normal don't they?" Anita smiled.
" Indeed they do."
Yay! I'm so happy!
