Black Diamond.
Tonight I went into the saloon and greeted Thomas with a kiss. It was so good to see him and we poured ourselves some whiskey and sat at the bar. “So what’s been happenin my dear? The kids staying out of trouble I hope?” Thomas asked.
“The kids are great. They seem to be getting along a lot better.”
“I’m glad...they went to the dance at Kate’s Saloon last night from what I heard..said they had a good time.”
“Yeah, they did. Natalie said she felt Aly’s tummy and felt the baby kick.”
“Oh? I didn’t know she was expectin’.”
“Mmhmm. Due soon, I think. I’m sorry dear, thought I told ya.”
“You might have dear, but i’ts not hard for me to forget things sometimes. I bet Alex is gonna be a proud pappa!”
“He’s gonna be a great dad. Just like you are.” I smiled and caressed his cheek.
He blushed and leaned over to kiss me. “Just as you are a great mom. Our kids are are so lucky to have you as their ma.”
“I never thought I would be.”
“You love kids so much, why wouldn’t you be? You care for any kid.”
“I just... I’m bored.” I leaned into him. “I want fingerprints to match... evidence to follow... witnesses to question…”
“Me too dear...me too...but I did get started on my class schedule for Saturday. Now I just gotta figure out what I want to be as my first lesson.”
“Oh that’s good. I’m sure you’ll be great, honey.”
“You missed seeing Miss Amara and Strider go choo choo chooing by on the rail car earlier, it was so cute…” He laughed. “It is boring tonight dear. I rode through Tombstone and Bisbee earlier and not a soul around.” We continued to dance and talk in each other’s arms.
