once you sign on to be a mother, that's the only shift they offer.
There was an odd sense of calm over Maggie as she walked up to the RV that held a young woman and baby boy inside. Her arms were packed with newly made cloth baby diapers, her measuring tape, some baby bottles, and the old breast pump she’d used when they’d first settled. She’d washed, combed her hair, and put on clean clothes for the occasion- her normal loose cotton pants and a plain shirt.
Knocking on the door, she waited for someone to appear. She had a soft voice still, and the lines around her eyes and mouth made her look older than she was. But that softness of tone and gestures were like water flowing smoothly, showing easily how Maggie was not totally defeated for once.
“Hello- my name is Maggie Davis. I’m the seamstress, and a friend of Rodeo’s. I hear you have a son, a baby. I made some cloth diapers and would love to take some measurements if he needs clothes. Babies grow up so quickly,” she offered a small smile, but she couldn’t help but feel apprehensive. She hadn’t held or touched a child since handing her own infant over to Dominic and telling him to follow her through the window of the gun shop- just to turn around and find them both gone. No crying, not screaming- just a horrible silence that had filled every inch of the shop and Maggie for years. “If this is a bad time, I can come back later.”
