"We'll have a lot to tell Black Eagle about next time we see him, won't we?"
"Yep, I reckon we will." Matthew chuckled.

"I can't believe he used a slingshot." Eve shook her head.
"Yeah, he got in a lucky shot. I'm sure he stunned the bear. But I'm glad it happened in a way."
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"I'm gonna set a few traps out and do a few things to repel animals from around here. Otherwise we are liable to have all manner of visits."
Eve nodded with a smile, "That's probably a good idea."
"How are you feeling this evening?"

"I don't know, I don't think I'm going to last until spring…"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, I'm so big now, I feel I'm going to pop."
"Are you going to need help?"
"No, I've talked it over with Fawn and we think we can manage." Eve told him.

Eve fixed them a big supper and they spent the night in one of the other cabins. By morning, they were gone.
Three days later a congregation of white people was on the front porch.
"Send that woman out here…"
Hawk faced the people. "What do you want?"
"We heard tell you got a white wife, is that true."
"It is…"
"Send her out here, we want to see her."
