The trapper and a gang.

CH31:A moment together

Sarah's nausea is still there, but now she's used to it.Trelawny is gone, Dutch worries us more and more.This time, Sarah really feels like the gang is slowly destroying itself.Arthur's health is better, the herbal tea she makes him drink, it's really good, he is less shattered and fever is less present, like his cough, it is less violent and begins to be less frequent.

But, he sees that he is sick, even if his energy is back, he is sick and he will remain so.But no matter, Sarah knows he will live longer than expected. She hopes he'll be there when the baby is born.

She still hasn't told him, nobody knows.Right now, the tension is palpable in the gang.She is low profile for now. But if Arthur needs help, she will not hesitate to help him.

Today, she has returned from hunting, she has killed two doe and two rabbits which she hastens to give to Pearson. Then she goes to rest, she enters her tent and lies down.She puts her hands for a moment on her belly, and thinks....And without noticing it, she smiled.

.............................................

Meanwhile, Arthur and Charles helps Captain Monroe to escape.After an intense pursuit, they arrive at the station, and Monroe thanks Arthur for his help before entering the train.

- Meet you back at the camp. Said Charles to Arthur, and pat him on the back before leaving.

At the same moment, Arthur coughs a little, fortunately, he keeps a gourd of herbal tea of Sarah, but just before drinking, he sees the sister who is heading for him.

- Mr. Morgan... are you okay? She asked.

- Never better. What are you doing here?

- Well, I'm on my way down to Mexico, they're finally sending me on a mission.

- Ah.... Said Arthur with a smile.

- Brother Dorkins is very jealous.

Arthur can't help but laugh, but he starts to cough. The sister, noting his condition, helps him to sit on a bench.Arthur takes his gourd and drinks the herbal tea, it makes him feel better.After drinking, the sister asks him:

- What's wrong?

- I'm, uh..... I'm dying, Sister.

- Okay....

- Yeah, I got TB. I got it... Beating a man to death.... for a few bucks.Arthur sighed. "I've lived a bad life, Sister.

- We've all lived bad lives, Mr. Morgan... We all sin... but I know you.

- You don't know me.

- Forgive me, but... that's the problem. You don't know you.

- What you mean?

- I don't know, but... whenever we happen to meet, you're always helping people and smiling.

Arthur smiled at this sentence, he was silent for a moment, then he said:

- I had a son... he passed away. I had a girl who loved me, I threw that away. My momma died when I was a kid... and my daddy.... well, I watched him die....But now, there is this woman, Sarah.I .... I love her more than anything in the world, really.

- She loves you too?

- Oh yes. When she learned that I had TB, she was shattered, and cried.I know that she loves me, and at that moment, I realized that I made her suffer.I blame myself for that....

- You should not, Mr. Morgan ... she would have known it. It was the right thing to do.How is she?

Arthur smiled for a moment, and said:

- She is magnificent. Strong, loyal, courageous and stubborn...She's here for me, and I'm here for her.We are a team, a couple, lovers ... and when I'm with her, I feel that the rest does not exist anymore.There is only her and me, and I am happy.

- Then talk to her. Spend a moment together, take time for yourself, Mr. Morgan. You help others, but you ... you do not take enough time to be with those you love. And now you see your life clearly.

- Sure.... but... I still don't believe in nothing.

- Often neither do I... but then, I meet someone like you and everything makes sense.

- Ahaha.... You're too smart for me, Sister.... I guess I..... I'm afraid.

- There is nothing to be afraid of, Mr. Morgan.Believe me, go see this woman, you love her and she loves you. You are not alone, Mr. Morgan.

- All aboard!

The sister and Arthur gets up and goes to the train.

- I will do it.

- I know you will.

The sister got on the train and Arthur gave her his bag.

- Goodbye! Goodbye, Mr. Morgan! Goodbye!

- Sister...

The train moves away, Arthur takes another gulp of the herbal tea and decides to return to the camp to see Sarah. He wants to be with her, maybe they will go for a walk in town or whatever.He does not feel alone. Sarah, John, Abigail, Uncle, Sadie, Charles .... They are there for him.

But he especially wants to be with Sarah, he rides as quickly as possible. He can not wait to see her.
