Something New

Hi there!

I am still working on my little story, but, another idea came to me. This is just a little "one shot" that I wrote in about ten minutes today. Please tell me what you think.

The birth of the child was simply beautiful. During the duration of this pregnancy, Maggie often wondered exactly what this baby would look like. Would it be born with the fair skin and light hair of it's older sibling, or would copper skin and black hair prevail? Anxiety plagued Maggie's mind but in her heart she knew that no matter what, this baby was loved.

When the midwife presented the squalling infant to it's mother, a small frown wrinkled her brow. The baby had a thick mass of long, blue black hair and his skin was already a deep tan. Certainly, Clarence could not have fathered this child. Far be it from this woman to interfere in the marriage of Clarence and Maggie Kendall. Her work was completed; Mother and baby were safe and healthy.

Maggie examined her new son with awe. "Hello, little one", she cooed. "You've sure made your mama nervous waiting for you. Happy Birthday." So, she and Kanawha had created a son. He would be overjoyed at the news. Maggie's heart leaped with joy but it was short lived. Clarence would be coming in soon and with his temper, things would not go well. As it was, Maggie needed to protect her baby boy from the wrath of her husband.


*No, I do not condone adultery. As the story unfolds, you will discover the why of this infidelity.


Hope you enjoyed the small glimpse into my imagination!
