Chapter 4:
"Pocahontas, I beg you to reconsider your decision on
this," John Smith pleaded as the two of them stood on the deck
of a ship, bound for England.
"John, I'm going with you," Pocahontas stated, "since
I was your excuse of you not to go; I am relieving you of it. You
need to go John, you need to face your family."
"But Pocahontas, our baby, there's a good chance it'll be born
in England, they don't do things there like your people do
here."
"Our child will be brought up here, in my homeland just because
it is born in yours, doesn't mean anything."
"Darling," John began as the captain walked up on deck.
"Ready to go, Smith? Don't worry mam, he'll be in good
hands," Samuel said to Pocahontas.
"I'll be going with him," Pocahontas replied.
Samuel's eyes widened, "but madam, a woman in your condition
should not travel!"
"I'm going with him," she repeated as Samuel looked at
John. At John's sigh and nod, Samuel turned and walked away.
"Pocahontas," John began; then stopped as she lightly
kissed him.
"John, I'm here for you," she said as her husband smiled.
Pocahontas sat in the hot sun as it beat down upon her, enjoying the
quietness of being up on deck alone. Down below was hot, and the
woman felt that she could barely breathe. She was now four months
with child; and according to John, they had another two to three
months before they reached London. Sighing, Pocahontas leaned back
on the wooden bench as she shielded her dark eyes from the sun's
brightness.
"Resting love?"
John's voice startled her as she lifted her head in order to greet
him;
"Just relaxing and thinking," she replied as he brought up
another bench to sit with her.
"Pocahontas, this means so much that you have done this,"
John said as he stroked her hand, "you are going to a country
that you've never been to. Things are so different there," he
stopped unsure how to bring the many issues up.
"Your way of dress," he began slowly.
"What about it?"
"Well, it's inappropriate for one thing, you can get arrested for
wearing your indian clothing," John replied, "that's why
I've gotten you something."
John got up suddenly and walked away before he stopped and motioned
for her to follow him. The couple walked down to there cabin.
"I got you this," John said as he began going through his
traveling trunk and pulling out a few items, he finally presented her
with a plain brown silk dress.
"Here, it's big on you now, but the woman who made it for me said
that when you are ripe with child it shall fit just right, you need to
wear this before you get off the ship. Also, here are shoes; you may
like to walk in them before you get off, they'll be hard on your feet
at first."
Pocahontas stood, a look of bewilderment mixed with curiosity on her
face;
"John," she began as she picked up the dress, "teach
me everything."
