"well Ma'am, to tell the truth, I'm not sure.  My new wife was pregnant when I left.  I hope so, but I haven't heard" the Sargent answered. he looked rather sad at the thought. " You are lucky to have your husband home safe", he said, having no idea of the truth of the situation. Robert kept a close eye on Suzanna knowing that the comment must have been tough to hear.  The baby ate peacefully as they talked. when he fell asleep, Robert picked him up from Suzanna's lap." let me take him back to bed" he said. Robert let Suzanna have some time to chat with the soldiers as he gently tucked Aedan down into the dresser drawer. He would have to build a crib when his arm got better.<br/><br/>Robert returned to fund the soldiers bidding Suzanna good bye as they got back on the road yet again. Robert joined her in saying good bye. Once they had left, he sat on the porch with Susanna, and held her hand as she rested a weary head on his shoulder. "Its been quite a day my lady" he said, "quite a day."
