As a group we Lay panting and sated on the bed for many Long moments. I hoped our indiscretion had


    not gotten me pregnant, but I knew it was a possibility. Looking at my happy family I couldn’t me


    myself for letting them y. It had been too long since we were permitted to be close.


    I steeled myself, though. Perhaps not now, but one day I would have to exin to them how making


    babies worked. They should understand anal sex wasn’t a legitimate form of birth control.


    Hannah arrived after we were all cleaned up and healing cream thered liberally over my skin. The


    men and I had eaten a meal in the dining hall, but were back and sitting in the main room. It waste,


    but I wanted to be up when she got back. Hannah seemed Like she was trying to hide her excitement


    or pretend it did not exist.

    “Nu-reeh thinks I should sleep like the other girls sleep,” she said casually.

    “You know, Mama, it’s no big deal. I like the bed. Sleeping on the warm stones is really overrated.”


    I didn’t know the women slept on warm stones. If it was what I gave birth on, I couldn’t imagine how


    that would befortable. The feeling I got from Hannah is she wanted desperately to try it, though.


    “You know,” I told her, “when I was girl we went camping a few times.” “In the trailer, I know,” she said


    fiddling with my knitting needles.


    “It was fun,” I pressed.


    “We met new people at their campsites, sometimes we ate different food, and got to explore the parks


    we were in.”


    “She showed me a ce,” Hannah said quietly. “It’s a spot real near where she mines. It has a really


    nice ce to sleep and the other girls stay away from there, because it’s hers.”


    I kept a big fake smile on my face and nodded. If I said anything right now I would cry or my voice


    would crack. Christof saved me from having to speak.


    “Must be high up,” he said thoughtfully.


    “I bet the view from there is amazing.”


    Maybe, Hannah mused and then she went on to exin how high up it was. She had been surprised to


    she could breath that far in the clouds. I would have passed out, Hannah remembered my initial


    harrowing trip to the mountains well.


    “I still can’t believe she went and got you that way,” Evan said.


    “I wonder what the men in thepound thought of a woman stealing a ve?” Kein asked.


    I had a feeling the men had not seen her take me at all. I think their attention was all on the women


    coming after them and Nu-reeh had been, forck of a better term, off their radar, thanks to her imnt.


    I still wasn’t sure how to exin that to my men.


    Damien and his Brothers continued to talk pleasantly with Hannah. Sleeping somewhere different


    would be fun, they told her. She might even see different things, especially above the cloud line.


    They had her convinced. She just wanted to take a nket “in case she got cold”, which I suspected


    would never happen. Christof made a bag for her with a single nket I had knitted and some dried


    meat. She attached the bag securely to her front before she left


    A kiss and a hug and she was off.


    I sat stoically until she was gone and then fought to control the tears. The men sat with me and tried to


    offerfort, although they weren’t really sure what they were doing. When I heard ttering talons I


    knew who had arrived, so I dried my cheeks.


    Nu-reeh wanted to talk, Dinah told us motioning. We walked swiftly through the caves to the women’s


    area. Nu-reeh Landed in front of the incline below the women’s area as we arrive
