Maisie
Exhaustion drags my eyelids down. I’m so tired. The increasingly angry
cries of my six-month-old daughter accompany the bumping
vibrations of my camper pulling off the highway into the rest stop.
I’m so close. So close to the resort town I plan to make our home for the
next month.
And then we’ll be on the road again. Always moving. Always running.
Quit whining, Maisie. At least you’re not penniless and destitute.
My inner voice is a bitch sometimes.
I throw my camper in park and climb between the front seats to the back
where my hungry, very pissed-off daughter is screaming her head off.
“Hey, pretty girl,” I coo, hoping the sound of my voice calms her
enough that I can get her unlatched and both of us comfortable before she
nurses. The cry she was mustering up cracks a little before dying down.
Tired girly. She’s probably as sick of her car seat as I am of driving this rig.
It’s late. Very late. But a blowout diaper and her being fussy from
teething set us behind schedule, so instead of being tucked into the
temporary rental’s bed as I’d prefer to be, we’re still on our way.
Less than an hour until we get there — according to my GPS. Then I’m
tucking us straight into bed and sleeping for as long as Audra will let me.
Everything else can wait for tomorrow.
I yawn so hard my jaw cracks in protest at the stretch. My lower back is
on fire from sitting in one spot all day. But I shove the discomfort to the
back of my brain and focus on getting my girl unbuckled from her seat.
Patting her back gently, I settle onto the floor and lift my shirt,
unclasping the shoulder strap of my nursing bra. Audra latches, her mouth
pulling in greedy suckles as the dark eyes that match mine stare at me over
my breast.
“There you go. Isn’t that better?” I ask gently, running my finger down
her soft cheek. The warm weight of her in my arms is a constant comfort.
Luckily, she looks just like me. A mop of dark hair, it curls in some
places and waves in others. The cute little button nose that scrunches when
she’s mad. There’s not an ounce of Sean on her face.
Leaning my head back against the driver’s seat, I let my eyes drift shut.
God, I’m tired. Tired of the constant moving. The constant running. But
there’s no end in sight. Not if I want to keep us safe.
I zone out and it’s not until Audra releases my nipple with a rumbling
coo that I snap out of the light doze. Swapping sides, she happily latches to
my other breast for the rest of her midnight snack. She ate a little bit of
baby food at our last stop, so she should be fine after I change her diaper for
the rest of our trip.
We’re somewhere in western Idaho. We drove through Washington
almost all day before crossing the border. I know that my GPS will get us to
the rental, but the lack of people at the rest stop is eerie.
