Voices brought Pocahontas back to conciseness. It was a voice she never heard before, it was short white with haired man. " Good you are awake. You know for a moment I doubted my skill to revive, but now see I was wrong in that. I am doctor Ludlow, Eli Ludlow. A boy by the name of Thomas sent for me. How do you feel? " In a strained voice Pocahontas answered " hurts to breathe." "I thought as much. My dear you have damaged lungs, the weather here does not work for you. You must go back to your homeland in order to get better " Dr. Ludlow voiced. In a low voice she spoke, " I can not." " And why in the heavens can you not do that." " Doctor Ludlow, I have married for the good of my tribe and I have to stay here for them and another." "Miss if you do not leave you will worsen your condition and possibly die." A bolt of fear went through her heart and her mind echoed," I must live for my child." " I need to examine you now." "Go ahead doctor" Pocahontas answered, fighting back tears. The doctor listened to the sound in her lungs." Have you had any sickness?" Reluctantly she answered, " It is not from what you say I have." " Then child from what." At first he held a look of puzzlement but he soon figured out what she meant. " " How long have you been with child?" " For at least a two months if not a few days more" Pocahontas confessed. " There is no doubt then, your are with child, he stated. "Excuse me if I offend you, Mrs. Rolfe. But I understand that you have not been married that long, something to a month and are certain that the child is your husband's?" Pocahontas turned her head away from the doctor and faced the wall. " I am so sorry if I have offend you, I will now take my leave." Dr. Ludlow started to gather up his things. "There is more than a doubt doctor. Rolfe is..is..not the father of my child. Silence reigned and the doctor took a seat on the bed. " Do not be afraid. We will find a way to manage this." Ludlow stated with comfort. " My I ask you one more question, Mrs. Rolfe." Pocahontas nodded. "Who is the father?" "John Smith" Pocahontas answered." I see now..Yes Yes I see. He is an acquaintance of mine. He is a good man and I respect him. See I was the doctor that treated him for the wound he received in the New World and now I see who it is that he has had this great love since then. The boy Thomas must have known that I treated John and that is why he sent me. "Your child is a true child of love." " Yes my child is of love and I love John as well," she said with a grin. " Then we must be very careful of your health. You must avoid stress and the elements, this means bed rest." She nodded." But you said I could die because of my weak lungs" "That is why you have to rest. We may get you through this safely and your child as well." " Doctor Ludlow, save my child I care not for my self. If am to stay sick and if any thing was to happen, save my child." The doctor patted her hand," child I hope I will not have to make that decision. Rest now." "But my husband?" " Yes him. He showed up after I arrived and is in his bedchambers. It is a shame the way he treats you, the way he leaves you, standing in the way of your happiness and the reason, the money he makes off of tobacco. That plant will kill more than we will ever know and profit he makes is blood money. That is why in your situation my lady, I have no sympathy for him and he will get the due that is coming to him. I will make sure he leaves you alone. Pocahontas could only thank the doctor for his help and kindness. As soon as the doctor took his leave Anne rushed in the room, and bombard Pocahontas with " I was so worried about you, you gave me a fright." "Anne it is all right now and I will be fine. But I have something very important to discuss with you." " Go ahead my lady." " First stop all formality, I am like any other person and your are my friend, you do not have to treat me in such a manor." " You are also my only friend and the only one here who treats the other servants and I with true respect, I will do as you wish." " Thank you Anne. Anne I am with child." Anne's face grew wide with a smile. "So Pocahontas you will have a wee one as well. Motherhood is a woman's comfort and I can see you will be the best mother and your husband will be so proud." Anne spoke this with a true knowledge, because Anne herself was near her time to give birth. "Anne, you know of my situation and I must tell you that my husband is not the father of my child. The morning I asked you to clean the sheets because of my early woman's time was not true. The night before and after I spent it with my love, John Smith." Anne's face did not hold shock or judgment, but one of hope true hope," I understand and am here to help you if you need me." " Anne, I am also sick and I could also die. I am asking you for your help. If any thing was to happen, could you make sure John Smith raises our child in the New World and if you could be the wet nurse for it on the journey. He will give you and your husband passage on his ship and help you to start a new life, just tell him of our agreement. Anne will you say yes to this." Anne and her husband agreed to help Pocahontas and the matter was settled.
