Mother Before Wife (The Compound #2) - Plot & Excerpts
—The Prophet, Clarence Black Aspen I was elated, bursting at the seams with excitement. I couldn’t wait to share the news with my husband. We were going to have a baby. That morning, I’d checked the calendar and with a wide grin, I gathered the girls together and we walked to the local pharmacy, where I purchased a pregnancy test. With hope and prayer, we returned home. When two vivid pink lines formed on the the test, I texted Paul from my cell phone, asking him when he’d return from work that day. I’d been using the contraption for several months and was finally accustomed to all of its noises and functions. Paul read my message, but didn’t respond. Something he rarely did. That’s odd. We hadn’t spoken since the night in the field, but I could think of nothing I’d rather share on our first conversation since that evening.
