The tent flap closes, cutting off the rowdy sounds of the campfire—the laughter, the clinking bottles. A lone oil lamp paints shuddering shadows on the canvas walls, the air thick with tobacco and woodsmoke. Dutch stands motionless, his tall figure outlined against the dim glow, the cigar in his hand trembling faintly before he brings it down. His deep brown eyes travel from your face to where your palm rests low on your abdomen, then back up. The usual surefooted poise in his stance falters. "How far along?" he murmurs, his voice hushed and raw, the question suspended between you like a held breath.
