My wife.
Well, not officially, but she was my girl, and she was ovulating when we made Hope.
I remember the look on her face that morning when she came out of the bathroom with the stick.
She had this embarrassed expression, like she’d peed on the stick or something.
But then her eyes widened and she dropped the stick in the dirt floor of our tent.
She looked at me, at Marcus, then at me again.
We were sitting side by side, his back against his guitar, mine against the tent.
He was strumming some slow melody on the strings.
It was a beautiful morning.
The sky was a perfect shade of blue with only a few white clouds here and there.
The sun shone bright with its warm rays peeking through the opening of our makeshift tent.
Our other tents were empty, strewn about the area.
They looked like little green bumps on a landscape of brown.
Our place had become affectionately known as Tent City.
But it was a beautiful morning, and she was a beautiful woman.
A beautiful 25-year-old Latina woman with a greasy brown hair dangling around her shoulders, a few stray strands framing her heart-shaped face with its high cheekbones, smooth, unblemished skin, and those beautiful expressive brown eyes.
She wore a tank top tied in a knot at her bellybutton to show off her skinny stomach and large breasts, and shorts that barely covered her legs.
The Palmers
Her feet were dirty and bare against the dirt floor of the tent, her toes curled around the edge.
Her toenails were chipped and unpolished, and her ankles were grimy from walking through the camp barefoot.
I reached over and took her right foot in my hands, not saying anything.
She tensed for a moment but relaxed when I worked my thumbs into her arch.
The tent was quiet, except for Marcus's gentle strumming in the background.
The Palmers
I could feel the hardened calluses on her heel, dirt embedded in the creases of her sole.
I ran my fingers in circles around her ankle, working out the knots from walking for days on end without shoes.
I glanced up at her face, watching her expression.
She and Marcus had been trying for another baby these past few months.
They were both young and healthy, so I wasn't surprised when she got pregnant again.
But that little stick changed everything.
A new life was growing inside her belly, right here in the middle of Tent City.
Marcus stopped playing his guitar, sensing the tension in the air.
His fingers stilled on the strings as he looked over at us.
His eyes scanned the ground between us, searching for something.
Then they lit on the pregnancy test, and his face lit up.
He picked it up and traced the shape of it with his fingers, his eyes wide with wonder.
The Palmers
Maggie started crying then, and I kept rubbing her feet as she sat there with her head in her hands.
I worked my way up to her ankles, massaging them gently. Her body shook as she sobbed, but she didn't make a sound.
I could feel her fear radiating off of her like heat waves from a fire.
She was scared to have another baby here in this place with no food or water.
She was scared we wouldn't be able to take care of it.
I rubbed her ankles harder, working out the knots as I tried to think of a solution to our problems.
My hands moved mechanically over her skin while my mind raced with thoughts of how we would feed another mouth.
How we would keep it safe from all the dangers that lurked in this place.
Marcus reached over and took Maggie's hand in his own, rubbing his thumb in circles on her palm.
He was looking at me now, his eyes dark with worry as he watched me massage Maggie's feet.
The Palmers
"Do you think we can do this, man?" Marcus asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
"We have to," I replied, meeting his gaze with determination.
Maggie sniffled, lifting her head slightly, "But what if we can't keep it safe here?"
