Chapter 2: The morning after
They woke to the sound of Eric's voice. "Stanly, Mimi, you here."
Eric saw the two of them, dischevled and blushing, mimi with the comforter around her, "Did I interupt something?" He asked.
"We were just celebrating."
"Speaking celebrating, I just got word from Jake. He's in Texas, with Hawkins. Hawkins had one of the bombs from the original attack, and they are testing the bomb, they can use it to prove who was behind the attacks."
"What's next?"
"They said to stay low. We'll be fighting a civil war soon enough."
Mimi had a sharp intake of breath, "With us stuck in the middle of it." She brought her hand to cover her stomach, to protect the unborn life inside of her. "Stanley."
"I have to stay out of it, all of it."
Eric looked confused, "What?"
"I almost got sent to prison, with no trial, and now I have to make sure that the Cheyenne government has no reason to connect me wit the insorectionists. Mimi's pregnant. "
Eric nodded, "I understand that you don't want to risk the baby being raised without you, but with the fight coming, we will need every person, for your child's future."
Stanley nodded, "We'll see. Until then, I'm planting tommorow... J & R, thanks to Mimi, provided a tractor and seed, but I'll need some man power." They had agreed when their world ended, that as far as the food was concerned, because everyone needed the food, everyone would help plant and harvest it.
"I'll round up as many people as possible. Enjoy your last day off..."
