Leaving Iris and the girls came in small spurts: a trip out to the mailbox, down the street, to the store on the corner before he returned to them, feeling it like an itch under his skin the days that followed his near death. It took a little longer to return to his job, but he started staying close again after Iris' trip to the doctor.
Another one. One that Iris worried about and one that he knew they should have waited on, but it seemed like fate had a different decision. Manning couldn't even fake being upset about it, not in the few seconds after they'd found out and not today, when he ran his hands over Iris' belly before heading out the door. He'd stopped to kiss both his daughters on the head, TJ while she was coloring at the kitchen table and AJ while she snoozed and blew bubbles in her baby sleep.
He had wanted to visit the market before they closed for the day, which was the only thing that pushed him outside. Knit cap pulled down over his head, clad in jeans and a flannel (that Iris had managed to spare) he wandered up and down the rows of winter vegetables, exchanging greetings and well wishes with the farmers. So intent was he that he very nearly missed her.
