He was a good man, whom she did care for greatly. Settling herself onto the armchair near the front window, Miriam sighed, and rested her hand on her belly. She was still not far enough along to feel the baby move, but she liked to imagine that she could feel each little kick and squirm.More often than not, though, when she sat like this she imagined what would have happened if Matthew had settled down after their Rumspringa, gotten baptized, and proposed to her. Would they have a baby now? Or maybe more than one? She could picture how their children would have looked, even as she couldn't picture what this baby-this very real baby that she was having with Isaac-would look like.Miriam and Isaac's marriage is in trouble but they are making progress in communicating better with her former boyfriend out of the picture. Miriam is with child, and her pregnancy is helping to bring them together. But when tragedy strikes and she flees her Amish community in grief, it's not her husband who follows her.
