Present Day
A kick jolted Libby Daniels awake. She placed her hands on her bulging
belly to rub away the pain.
“Baby kicking again?” Her husband, Ben, smiled. “He sure is a wild
thing, isn’t he?”
Libby looked out the car window. The sky was overcast. Swirls of gray
mist rolled across the fields. She pressed her head back against the headrest
and sighed. Why Ben had decided to do a Civil War Reenactment in West
Virginia when she was only six weeks away from her due date was beyond
her. She enjoyed the events, but the trip from Wisconsin and now back
home had been long and tiring. Her doctor had given her the go-ahead to
take the trip, but she wanted to be home.
Every summer they went to as many reenactments as they could. They
both enjoyed history, but Ben’s obsession with the Civil War was simply
that—an obsession. When he’d heard about one in West Virginia, he’d
nearly had a heart attack in his excitement. With the history of West
Virginia breaking away from Virginia in the middle of the Civil War and
finding out through an ancestry search how one of his relatives fought in
West Virginia, Ben nearly did cartwheels as he rushed to his laptop and
filled out the registration form in record time.
Libby glanced at Ben. She wasn’t the only one tired. Ben had this
obsession with driving being a man’s job. Especially since she was pregnant
again. Libby rubbed her stomach as the baby did flips. Ben was as excited
as he had been when Charlie was born. Libby was excited, too, and was
hoping for a girl. But she was tired of being tired. She was looking forward
to being back to normal.
“Hey, hon, get me a pop, will you?” Ben asked. “How are you holding
up?”
Libby struggled over her bulging stomach to reach the cooler in the
back seat where three-year-old Charlie slept peacefully in his car seat. “I’m
okay,” Libby answered. “Hey, slow down, will you? I have to unbuckle my
seatbelt to reach the cooler.”
“Oh, hell, you’ll be okay without your seatbelt for a few seconds,” Ben
replied in a gruff voice. “I don’t know why you make such a big deal about
those stupid things anyway. They make me feel trapped. I hate it when you
tie up Charlie in his car seat. It looks like he’s going to take off into space at
any second.”
Libby handed Ben his can and re-hooked her seatbelt. “And I hate it
when you don’t wear yours. I can see you flying through the windshield and
bashing in your face.”
Ben patted her on the hand like a child. “Ah, hon, you know nothing
will ever happen to me. I’ll be here to love you forever.”
They were quiet for a few minutes as the sounds of country music
flowed from the radio. In the silence Libby closed her eyes and thought
about Ben’s last statement. His profession of love always threw her.
