"I am glad, for it will take a powerful love between us to sustain us at times There will be many more, like that young one. Hate is much easier than love." She smiled, and the next kiss led them into making love again. She moaned softly as his lips caressed her breasts. "Why do I enjoy it so much…the way you make love to my body?"
"You're supposed to enjoy it. God made us that way." Matt informed her. "He made you so beautiful, I can't keep my hands off you." He chuckled softly.
"I find you beautiful too," she smiled.
"Do I hurt you when I make love to you now?" He asked at her ear. "The baby grows."
"No, I think the baby enjoys it too, somehow He moves more afterwards. And I have noticed, when you touch me there, he responds too in some way. I think he hears your voice and knows you."
He smiled. "Good."
He rubbed her tummy and even talked to the baby as though he could hear him. It pleased him greatly that they would soon have a family. They made love for hours, then went to sleep in each other's arms. The contentment he'd found with Snow Bird astounded him at times. He'd never been happier than with her.
He'd never let anyone hurt her either. He knew they called him squaw man, that didn't bother him. He only wished like her, that the two kinds of people could learn to live together peacefully.
But the next day Ferg informed him that the new people were not to be trusted.

sp; Matt stared around the room. "Why not?"
"They don't like her, for one thing. They could do her harm."
Matt frowned, "You think so?"
"Matt, you got a lot to learn about people. When you stumbled upon us, we took to you both, right off. Just our nature, we don't like to fight people, unless it's necessary. But I tell you truly boy, we better all watch out for her. She's in danger as long as they are here. People don't get over a massacre so easily."
"I trust your thinking, Ferg. If you say so, I'll watch out for her until we leave here."
"We all will have too."
Matt hung his head, "She understands how they feel."
"Good, then she will understand that they might try to harm her, too." Ferg nodded. "But don't fret, we'll all watch out for her. She's come to be a good friend to us and we care about her too."
Matt glanced up at Ferg, "Thanks for that."
"We gotta worry about that baby too. It isn't yours, is it?" Ferg stared at him a long time.
"No, I knew you'd figure that out. But please don't tell anyone else."
"No worries about that. But little buddy, it's one of the reasons we like you so much. Is it her husband's baby?" Ferg asked curiously.
"No, the man Jake killed, at the General Store. He had raped her."
"Then the baby will be a breed. Well, no matter, if you can love him, then we can too." Ferg shook his head. "She's a strong woman She's been through a lot to be so young."
"Yeah, she has." Matt smiled. "And I hope I can make a good home for us somewhere and make her happy."
Ferg put his hand on his shoulder, "You will. I'm sure of it."
That day Tal kept a keen eye on Snow Bird, but he didn’t' say a word. The others were still too wounded to be dangerous. Matt watched them all the time now. If Ferg was concerned, there was reason to be.
Tal walked over to Matt and Ferg, eyeing them before saying anything. "How come you married her?"
"How come you asked?" Matt stared at him now, trying to size him up.
"Young fella like you, couldn't you find a white gal?"
