Chapter 3: Anne's POV

I was so busy staring at the little girl that was going to be our daughter, my daughter, I didn't notice her friend come into the room. Her friend looked to be about Ruby's age. She had blonde hair, blue eyes, about Ruby's height. But, her friend looked like she had a little more meat on her bones then Ruby did. I was going to make Gil put Ruby on a strict feeding schedule until she get her weight back.

"Hello Miss, is Miss Mildred in yet? I need to talk to her about Ruby. She isn't feeling good." Her friend said.

"Not yet little one. Can I help? I am quite handy with children such as yourselves." I said.

"It's my friend Ruby Miss. She hasn't been feeling good since last night. I was up all night taking care of her. She didn't even do her Bible study lesson with us. I tried to get her to come eat some breakfast with us. All I can do is get her to the chair right over their." Her friend said.

"I think we should get Ruby back to bed. I'll bring my husband after he is done with his staff meeting at the hospital. He is a doctor. I'll have him look at Ruby. Do you mind showing me were you guys sleep?" I asked.

"Yes Mam. My name is Grace. I have been helping take care of Ruby since she came here about a month ago. Ruby is the youngest one here."

"Well Grace, my name is Anne Blythe. I want to thank you for taking care of Ruby. You did a great job. I don't think Ruby is up to eating breakfast at the moment. Why don't you go and tell one of the staff members that your going to show me were Ruby sleeps and have the staff members let Miss Mildred know I'm going to be a few minutes late to my interview. I'm going to put Ruby to bed until my husband can come and look at her in about a hour. I want to make sure you eat your breakfast too okay? Can you do that for me?" I asked.

"Yes Mam. I certainly can. I'll go and tell Miss Hannah that you're here so she can let Miss Mildred know that we are taking Ruby back to bed. I won't be long. Miss Hannah is right in the dinning room helping serve breakfast. I'll be right back." Grace said.

Anne watched Grace run towards the dinning room were Miss Hannah was. Then Anne turned to face Ruby. Her little girl who wouldn't spend no more then an hour or so here. Anne knelt down to be near the little girls eye level.

"Hi sweetheart. My name is Anne. I heard you weren't feeling good. Your friend Grace and I are going to put you back to bed okay? And then when I'm done talking to Miss Mildred, I'm going to bring my husband Gilbert here to have a look at you okay. He is a doctor. He is very good with his job and very gentle with his patients. He can figure out why you aren't feeling good, okay? He won't be more then a couple more hours at the hospital and then I'll bring him here to give you a quick check up. In the mean time, can I put you back to bed? I see your friend Grace coming back." I told her gently.

Ruby nodded. She looked miserable poor thing. Anne felt Ruby's forehead and frowned. Ruby was definitely burning up. She has a fever for sure. Her cheeks looked flushed too. Most likely from the fever.

"I'm going to pick you up know okay. Your going to be okay Ruby. I'm going to take care of you and so is my husband. Here we go. Let's get you to bed for now." I told her gently.
