"You did not love that man, how could you?"
"It is true. And I do love Lone Wolf. It scares me how much I love him. For I have never loved anyone like I love him. I have just discovered this word love… When Liam beat me, this last time, I kept seeing Lone Wolf's face in front of me. It made me strong."
"Wedding nights are the time when you should express your love. For you will give your heart to him that night, and he you."
"Yes, yes, that is true. I cannot wait… " But the memory of their lovemaking lingered in her mind and she rejoiced of it. Had she died, she would at least have had that with him.
"Nor can he… " Black Feather giggled.
"Is it true you are with child?" Hannah asked her.
"Yes, but how did you know?" Black Feather stared at her.
Hannah smiled boldly now, "You have taken such good care of me ever since I came here. You have been my friend, my confidant. I prayed you would conceive."
"Y-you prayed for me?"
"Of course, I did. I wanted to see you happy."
"I am thrilled, and I thank you for your prayers. Deer Runner is beside himself with happiness."
Hannah smiled. "I am so glad. You are a good woman, Black Feather. You must always be happy. For I wish it for you."
"It is time I put the salve on your back again." Black Feather told her, but a tear fell down her cheek. A tear of gladness for knowing Hannah.
"Do I offend you telling you how much I care for you. For I have never had a real friend."
"No, you do not offend. I am honored to be your friend."
"You will be a great mother." Hannah predicted.
Black Feather smiled. "And you will be a fine wife for Lone Wolf."
"I spoke to Little Feather."
"Oh, about what?"
"I know she has love Lone Wolf for a long time. And I know Lone Wolf thinks a lot of her too. But he doesn't love her in that way. He thinks she is a wonderful person. And so do I. In fact, if I had not wanted to marry him, he would have taken her as his wife. I felt I needed to tell her that and to also tell her to not give up on finding the right man for her."
"I am glad you spoke of it, then. She does need to find a man of her own now and go on with her life before it is too late. Was she upset?"
"No, we are good friends now. I told her I would pray for her a man."
Black Feather touched her shoulder, "You are a good woman, Hannah."
"I've been thinking, I wish to have an Indian name, is it possible?"
Black Feather looked down at her, "It is very possible. Gray Eye must give you the name."
"Gray Eye is so very sick. I wish my prayers were answered about him."
"To live you mean?"
"Yes… "
"He has lived a long life, and he is happy. He will be fine Hannah, he goes to the Creator and will meet his love again."
"Yes, that is comforting."
