"Much…I'm beginning to think maybe there is two babies…I feel heavier when I stand up or walk."
He smiled, and kissed her nipples. When she lay on her side, his hand ran down her shoulder, to her hips and around them. He massaged them gently. He had become so gentle with her now since she was with child. She trusted him with anything he wanted to do with her. She enjoyed the way he played with her, the way he sent rapture through her body. A mere touch from him could do that.
"I hate leaving you," He sighed pulling her fully against him.
"You must'n worry so much. What do you fear?"
"The Comanche, Cheyenne and Arapaho, is that not enough?" He kissed her shoulder.
"Bended Knee and I can hold them off. You have built our house strong, Matthew can help, he can reload our guns and we will be safe. I promise you."
"You cannot promise something you do not know, my love. I fear for your lives, all of you."
"If you don't go now, the journey would be more treacherous in the winter, and waiting until spring, the baby comes. It would be next summer before you could bring him up here. You must go now. We have had peace here, since we arrived. Why do you think it would be otherwise?"
"Just a feeling…"
"Love makes you worry more. I am sorry for that." She sighed turning to kiss him sweetly on the lips.
"I should never have made love to you…" He fussed.
"If you hadn't, we would be lonely and unhappy still. You claimed me because you loved me. I let you because I loved you too…It was not a mistake." She whispered, as her kisses turned more heated now.
"God knows you are right about that," He whispered as his lips nuzzled at her breasts. "Your breasts are so beautiful…have I told you that before."
"Many times my love, but I never tire of hearing it. Touch me; make love to me one more time…my love." She coed in his ear.
His kisses were everywhere, wet, hot and needy. She returned every one of them. He rested himself at her hips as his eyes devoured her. "You are my woman, and you will always be my woman."
His hands came to rest on each side of her cheek, as his kisses torched her into frenzy.
Collapsing beside her later, his hand still massaged her breasts, as his heartbeat returned to normal.
"I can't begin to explain how you make me feel." She cried.
"Perhaps to be with child makes you more receptive of our moments together."
"Much more…" She smiled with such satisfaction.
"I will remember this, the next time you are with child."
"Tell me how much you'll miss me…" She cried.
He looked into her eyes with all the love there, "Until the earth is no more…I will love you all the days of my life…"
"And I you!"
Her smile seemed etched into his memory now. Never had she been more beautiful to him than this moment.
As he closed his eyes for sleep, he murmured at her ear, "I will remember this night, forever in my dreams."
Chapter Twenty-One
The next morning Hawk left, he kissed the kids, and shook hands with Bended Knee. They all went inside giving Hawk and Eve a chance to say goodbye.
He stared boldly into her face, looking deep inside for the words he couldn't find.
"I will not tell you goodbye, only good luck and hurry home…" She cried, her tears held in check.
