Perfect white skin, with generous, rose tipped breasts, more than enough to fill his hands. As he watched the doctor poke and prod, Nate attempted to maintain his composure, but his mouth had gone dry and his manhood stiff. Sensing her discomfort, he rubbed his thumb over her knuckles. Nate took her hand when she flashed him a startled look in reaction to the doctorвЂ™s treatment.ДЄngel closed her eyes, and chewed on her lip. Without fanfare, the doctor drew the blanket down to AngelвЂ™s waist. Darby ushered the boys into the kitchen with promises of milk and bread with jam. Penrose announced he would examine Angel, Mrs. вЂњI want everyone out of the room except her husband. As she did, the crowd surrounding her shuffled closer so they could hear.ДЄfter listening to her story, Dr. Heat rose in her face and she blinked to clear the tears from her eyes. Penrose waved his arms around and knelt alongside her. вЂњAll right, everyone out of my way so I can work.вЂќ Dr. вЂњDid she throw up again, Papa?вЂќ Luke looked up at Nate with wide eyes. вЂњWhy is our new mama laying on the floor?вЂќ John wanted to know. вЂњWhat are you two doing up?вЂќ Nate snapped.

вЂњWhatвЂ™s going on?вЂќ Luke asked as they wandered over to the crowd. The doctor strode through the front door and into the parlor just as Luke and John came down the stairs, clutching each otherвЂ™s hands. The sound of a buggy approaching announced the arrival of Dr.

Nate went down on one knee beside Angel and brushed the wet, stringy hair from her face. And her drying hair still had soap in it. Darby all standing in a circle, staring at her. Here she was sprawled on the floor, naked except for the blanket, with Nate, Matt and Mrs. If she wished hard enough, maybe she could simply disappear, similar to the fairy tales she read as a little girl. вЂњHeвЂ™ll be here soon.вЂќ Nate looked down at Angel. Penrose?вЂќ MattвЂ™s eyes darted toward the window. вЂњThanks, son, I appreciate that.вЂќ NateвЂ™s voice filled the room, and for some odd reason it calmed her, reassured her. вЂњI mopped up the rest of the water so no one else can slip.вЂќ вЂњPapa said she fell getting out of the tub,вЂќ Matt reported. Darby pulled the blanket further up on AngelвЂ™s shoulders. вЂњI saw your papa rush out of the house earlier, so I thought IвЂ™d come over to help. The woman hurried to where she lay on the floor and bent over. Voices cut through her thoughts, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps coming up the porch steps. The poor child must think her a complete dolt, and if he had voiced that opinion out loud, she would have been forced to agree. Matt kept patting her on the arm, telling her everything would be all right.

Now she lay on the floor, finding it hard to believe sheвЂ™d created another crisis. She panicked at the thought she might have damaged a lung. Once sheвЂ™d awoken from her initial fall, Angel tried to move, to at least get off the chair, but the pain in her ribs was so strong it took her breath away, so she stayed still. Just keep her quiet till I get there.вЂќДear Lord, canвЂ™t you please let me pass out again? вЂњYou ride on home, and IвЂ™ll follow in my buggy. вЂњYes sir, my wife fell getting out of the tub and she seems to have hurt her side.вЂќ He hurried to catch up with the doctor who was already headed down the front steps.Дr. вЂњTrouble at home, son?вЂќ He took his hat from the hook by the door, and picked up his black bag next to it. Soon the doctor came down the stairs, buttoning his cuff. Mumbled conversation came from upstairs along with the sound of footsteps, and dresser drawers opening and closing. Nate paced in the front room, running his fingers through his hair. вЂњMy wife fell getting out of the bathtub, and I think she may have broken a rib.вЂќДЄt her raised eyebrows, he added, вЂњI just got married yesterday.вЂќ He smiled and nodded when she congratulated him. вЂњHe just went up to bed, but IвЂ™ll get him. вЂњOne of the children sick?вЂќ She opened the door wider to allow him to enter. Her eyes grew round at his agitated appearance. Penrose always greeted visitors as if theyвЂ™d just arrived for tea, no matter the time of day or night. вЂњNate, how nice to see you.вЂќ It seemed to him Mrs.
