Chapter 22
Melinda, Sanda and Jessie were finishing eating. Sanda whispered, "Guys that man has been staring at us since we came into this place". Melinda and Jessie looked over, and noticed him lift up his paper, trying to act like he wasn't staring. Jessie turned "Oh God Melinda what if Mrs. Steven's has someone looking for us, and it is him"
"It's not, I don't think he was watching us, we are just nervous"
"He was I know it". Sanda pouted. They were getting their money ready, they wanted to leave. They all took turns going to the washroom, they didn't know when they would get to one the next time? They were walking out, when the man threw his money down, and walked out behind them. They were talking when he yelled, "Wait I noticed you 3 seem lost, and you are carrying bags, where are you going"? Melinda turned, "Thanks for your concern, but we are fine"
"Really you don't seem fine, and are you not these girls in the paper today"? Jessie walked over seeing 3 different photos of them, and it said they were runaways, that they needed to be found, because they were pregnant, and scared.
Jessie turned, "Oh God Melinda, our pictures". The man smiled, "I have a place just 2 miles from here. I have extra rooms, you three can come, and stay with me. I won't snitch on you, and I can take care of you real fine". Jessie turned to Melinda, "I'm not going with him, he is up to something".
"What would I be up to, I'm trying to help three young girls out. You all got yourself pregnant, so don't blame me for your mistakes. You have no where else to go, someone will see you, and call the Police". Melinda and Sanda were so confused, Jessie grabbed her bag. "I will take my chance, you are some weirdo, I can tell". He dropped the paper, "who are you calling a weirdo"?
Melinda put her hands up, "She is just scared she didn't mean that"
"Melinda he is a weirdo, he wants us to go to his house so he can hurt us".
He walked over to Sanda grabbing her arm. "You understand that I'm trying to help right"?
"Let go of me, we are leaving, we don't want any trouble".The waitress walked out of the diner. She was off duty, she worked all night. She saw what was going on, she walked over, "leave these girls alone, what is wrong with you"? He let go of Sanda, and ran to his car, and took off.
"God you three with your bags, and your sad faces, are going to be targets for every sick person along the way. What are you doing running away from home or something"?
"We are going to make it on our own with our babies"
"You are the three from the papers , I thought I recognized you, OMG"
"We are leaving, please don't tell the police we were here"
"Why are you running, do you have a place to go, or money"?
"No but we will find a job, and a place, we are keeping these babies".
"You were forced into that place weren't you"?
"Yes, they are evil there, we would have died if we stay".
"My name is Suzie, I wish I was as brave as you three"
"What"?
"I got pregnant, I was 16 years old, and I gave up my child. It might be for the best, but I think of her everyday of my life. I made a mistake, and I regret it, but I can't go back now. My Parents passed away 1 year ago, and left me this huge old farm. I hate it, but I work here to make ends meet, than I go do chores at the farm. It is big, I have the room, I could use the help. You get free board, you feed the animals, and you help clean up. You can stay until these papers stop circulating, than you can be on your way".
"I don't know". Melinda was nervous
Jessie and Sanda move close to her. Suzie smiled, 'There is my truck, join me or don't but I'm exhausted, and have to go home". She was walking to the truck, Melinda turned, "are you ok going with her"?
"Yes". Sanda says
Jessie was nervous, but shook her head yes. Melinda yelled out, "Wait we will come with you". Suzie smiled, "Hop in lets get out of here". The girls put their things in the back, and got in the truck with Suzie.

Chapter 23
Suzie drove up to her farm, it was big, the girls got out of the truck. She smiled, "Well I will show you where you can sleep. I'm going to lay down I have been up for 14 hours straight on my feet. The waitress that works with me, is off all the time, I have to do double shifts. Hey maybe one of you can work at the diner , that would be a great help. You would make some extra money. The other two can work here, and I won't charge you rent. You can be on your way once you decide what you want to do.". They smile and go inside, she took them upstairs.
"This is my room, this was my parents room. One of you can sleep in here, she pointed to another room. I'm sorry 2 of you will have to room together in this room. There is double beds in here".
Sanda put her bag on the bed where their was a single bed only. I will sleep in here you both can bunk together". She smiled at Melinda and Jessie, who agreed.
"I'm going to bed, you guys can get settled, than go for a walk around the grounds. I will show you how to do the chores later tonight. If you are up to it, you guys can start dinner, and wake me up at 7, to eat. You can have a drink or a snack, but there isn't a whole lot in the house. I will take you into town tomorrow to get a few things, I have no idea what you all like. See you later, I have to get some rest". She walked to her room shutting the door. Jessie , Melinda and Sanda went into Melinda and Jessie's room shutting the door. Jessie looked around, "It is clean at least, can we trust her"?
"Do we have a choice she seems nice, what about one of us working at the diner with her"?
"Sounds good but which one of us will go"?
Jessie laughed, "I will do chores around here, if one of you would rather work at the diner"?
Sanda laughed , "Can I go to the diner, I don't like horses, and pigs we probably have to pick up their you no what"
Melinda laughed, "Fine Sanda we will work around here, you go to the diner. You have to be careful, don't talk about what happened to anyone."
"I know that silly".
Melinda started to hang up her things. Jessie walked over to the window looking out.
"Jessie why don't you hang up your things, than we will go outside"
"Yeah ok", Sanda went to her room hanging stuff up. They all finished, and walked downstairs, and went outside. They were walking Suzie's place was big. Jessie ran over, "Oh pigs, look at the baby ones, they are so adorable". She opened the gate, and ran in. She saw some food up on the ledge, she was feeding them. Melinda yelled, "Jessie wait maybe Suzie feeds them at special times".
"Oh God Melinda they are all around me".
"Jessie put the food back, and get out of there". Jessie threw some food , and ran out, Melinda laughed. "You like pigs they stink".
They all were walking Melinda saw 3 horses, she walked over petting them. Jessie stood back, "Oh I love horses, but they scare me, I fell off one before. I had the most awful experience, they scare me".
"Look at them, they are friendly". Sanda and Jessie finally walked over petting them. They decided to keep walking, Sanda spotted a pond, they ran over looking at it.
"Oh we can go swimming, this is beautiful"
Jessie took her shoes off, and was walking in the water. They all heard someone yelling, it was two young men, they lived on the farm, down the way. Melinda laughed, "Oh God look at the neighbors, they are handsome.". Jessie waved, they all were shocked, when the men jumped in the water, and swam over to them.
"Hello this is Sam and I'm Ed".
"Hello this is Jessie, Sanda, and I'm Melinda".
"You family of Suzie's"?
Sanda yelled, "Yes we are family, who are you'?
"Oh we live down there, we came for a swim. We never seen this sight before, it was breathtaking". Jessie giggled, and Ed laughed, "You are Jessie"?
"Yes, we just came to see the Pond, we will be on our way". Ed grabbed Jessie's hand, she pulled away, startling Ed.
"Oh I'm sorry, I scared you, I was just going to tell you to stay".
Melinda smiled, "Maybe another time, we have to cook supper, it was really nice meeting you".
"Nice meeting you too". The girls walked away, but Ed and Sam couldn't keep their eyes of them.
"Ed what do you think about them, Suzie never talked about family".
"Who knows but it is sure nice to have three beauties around here, maybe this will be a summer, we might enjoy". Sam laughed, "Ed you are something, I know which one you like"?
"Yeah but she is a nervous one, something is up with them, and I'm sure going to find out what it is". They both smile, and jumped into the pond for their afternoon swim.

Chapter 24
Sanda laughed, "I think those guys are going to be trouble".
"Oh they are trouble, who do they think we are? We might be pregnant but we are ladies, and they should treat us like one" Jessie says stopping
"Jessie they seem harmless, they were just fooling around"
" Melinda I don't like the way they looked at us. Is that the kind of look we will get forever. My Parents gave me away because I shamed them, well shame on them". Jessie turned away from Sanda and Melinda
"Jessie I think our parents were scared, they thought other people would make fun of us. They thought the town would call us names, and they probably would"
"Well if my baby made a mistake, I wouldn't turn them away".
"We wouldn't either, what is wrong Jessie"?
"I'm scared, are we doing the right thing trusting Suzie"?
"I think so she seems fair, she just wants us to help her "
"What about those two men that were staring at us like we were supper"? Melinda started to laugh, "I'm sorry I'm not laughing at you, supper Jessie"?
'Yes like we are easy, I'm not, well you wouldn't tell". Sanda laughed so did Jessie, they all hugged, and started to walk back to the house. Jessie saw a dog, and she walked over, "OMG he is adorable, is he Suzie"s?
"Probably, he likes you Jessie". Sanda walked over, "Oh I have a cat at home, he must miss me like crazy".
"I had a rabbit". Jessie and Sanda started to cry, Melinda walked over, "Ok enough of this stuff, no tears"
"You don't have pets do you Melinda"?
"No but I like them, but crying over them. They are fine your parents are taking care of them."
"I know but we miss them".
"Come on lets start dinner before Suzie gets up".
"Ok Mom". Jessie said, but Melinda turned, "I'm not being bossy, I'm being practical"
"Yes like Mom material, but I wouldn't want it any other way". Melinda was walking Jessie and Sanda laughed, making Melinda laugh.
"I'm not your Mother, and if I was you would be in trouble". They got to the house, and washed up. They looked in the fridge seeing what they had to make dinner with? Suzie was right, there wasn't much. Melinda saw hamburger meat, she said she would make hamburger with out buns , and some rice. She told Jessie to start the salad. Melinda was great in the kitchen, Sanda and Jessie were helping.
"I think I would be better with the animals". Jessie laughed, she was cutting the vegetables all wrong. Melinda walked over showing her how to cut them properly.
"You are great Melinda, where did you learn all this"?
"I was the cook back home mostly, my Mom worked hard too". Sanda smiled, "I cook but just the basics".
"I didn't cook much, but I helped clean around the house." Jessie says
"Ok we will teach each other what we need to know. You just wash up the salad stuff Jessie, and put in the bowl. Sanda you get the table ready, setting the place settings". Sanda laughed, "Yes Mom"
"Stop both of you , do I look like your Mom's"?
"With that apron you do". Jessie said laughing
Melinda grabbed a tea towel, and swatted them both with it. They were laughing, when Suzie walked downstairs. "Oh my all this noise". They all moved close together, afraid she was going to kick them off her land.

Melinda you missed the previous chapter, in case you want to read it. Chapter 25 "OMG don't look so scared, I'm not mad at you Guys. You didn't wake me up, so don't worry". "Oh we are having salad, hamburger, and rice, is that ok"? Melinda asked "Sounds good, I'm starving, after dinner we can go to the grocery store, and get some stuff." "We don't have a lot of money, but we can help a little" 'I don't want your Money, I said room and board, and food is free, but you have to help around here". They smile, and continued getting supper ready. Suzie sat at the table, "I can't believe you all are pregnant, your so young". Jessie turned, "We are not bad people we are pregnant, but we loved the Father's of the babies". "I didn't say you were bad Sweetie". "Well everyone else seems to think we are bad". Melinda grabbed Jessie, "Forget about everyone else, Suzie is helping us". Jessie looked at Suzie, "I'm sorry forgive me" "No I know how you feel, I'm alone here, and I'm labeled, the girl that is weird because I'm not married, with kids. I like my life, when someone comes along, that I fall for hey I will get married than. You three are pregnant, I don't look down at any of you. I can't say I think you will have a easy life, you won't " Sanda smiled, "We know that but all we need is each other. We will take care of each other, and our babies". "That is great, but right now can you trust me a little. I promise, I would never tell anyone your here. I will help you out, and you help me, and everyone will be happy". "We met two young men by the Pond, their names was Ed, and Sam" "Oh those guys, are cute, but trouble watch out for them" "Why"? "Oh nothing, but they like the ladies, and I'm sure they took a liking to you three" "What about you, they haven't tried to get close to you"? "Me, I'm not attractive, they don't like me much". Melinda brought the rice, and hamburger over to the table. Jessie brought the salad, they all served up their food, and were eating. Suzie smiled, "I have a black, and white TV, you can watch it, but we only get a few channels". "Thank you". Sanda, Jessie and Melinda said at the same time. Jessie smiled, "You have a dog, a little white one"? "Yes that is Benny, he is cute isn't he"? "Yes, he doesn't live inside the house"? "Oh he comes in, but he likes it out there better. He lets me know if someone was on my property". "So you were outside, you saw the pigs, Chickens, and horses right"? "Yes, the pigs are cute" Suzie laughed, "Oh Jessie cute, you can feed them, and the chickens. Sanda will come to the diner with me, I'm sure Billy will give her a job. Melinda, you can help with the Horses, feeding them, and brushing them. In the summer, on weekends, I take people out for rides, it pays great. I have to get ready,and the horses have to be in great shape. I don't want any of you riding them, your pregnant. I expect the house cleaned, and dinner done, we all can do laundry. I think we all can get along real well, if we trust each other." The girls smiled, as Suzie continued eating, they smiled at each other. They felt at home here, they just hoped, Mrs. Stevens , and their parents didn't find them, because they didn't want to go back, they just couldn't.

Chapter 26
Melinda, Jessie and Sanda cleaned up after dinner. Suzie decided to take them into town, to get a few things. They got in her truck, and they drove to the grocery store. They went inside Suzie said she would pay for any food items, but personal stuff they would pay for themselves. They were getting food that was cheap but healthy enough. They had vegetables growing at home, so they didn't need much. Suzie smiled, "I'm going over to the electrical items, you can pick up some personal items, on your own, we will meet at the front, and pay in 1/2 hour. They said ok, they had to buy some shampoo, and other personal stuff. Jessie grabbed some bubble bath, "Can we get some of this , I could use a nice bubble bath"
"Jessie you know we need our money that is not a necessity". Melinda said she hated being the responsible one, but if Suzie told them to leave, they need their money. Jessie walked over putting it on the shelf, Melinda felt horrible, she walked over, "Look at this bubble bath it is only $2.00 , it smells like strawberry, I'm sure it works the same way". Jessie smiled, "Thank you Melinda"
"I hate saying no, but lets look at stuff we can find on sale.". They all picked a shampoo they would all like. Sanda walked over, "How about nail polish these are only $1.00."?
"Grab 2 Sanda, but working on the farm, will we need it". Jessie smiled.
"I will be at the diner, my hands have to look good Silly". Jessie smiled, "Yeah all those cute men will be looking at your hands, I'm sure".
"Jessie stop being bad"
"Sorry, Melinda can we buy some cream, my skin is so dry"?
"Yeah great idea, and some sun screen, we will need that too". They were picking up items, Jessie walked over, "Oh I wish I could get a book, I love reading".
"You get a book, than I get my Glamor magazines"Sanda smiled
Melinda whispered, "Forget it, they cost to much"
"Let her have her Glamor magazine, I'm fine"
"No I don't need it either". Suzie walked up beside them, "Have you found everything you wanted"?
"Pretty much, I just wish books were not so expensive"
"Books get them at the library silly, we can go there next, and they are free, unless you bring them back late"
"Can we"? Jessie smiled
"Great she get her book, but I can't have my magazine"
'You want a magazine get it". Suzie smiled,
'No they are a waste of money"
"Which one do you like"? Sanda pointed, Suzie touched her face, "My treat, but maybe you can take up reading too'. Melinda gave Sanda a look but she smiled, and kept on going. Suzie stopped at the snacks, "Well we can get a few snacks, but only 2 ok.
Jessie ran over, "Oh chocolate, I love M&M's" Sanda smiled , "Me too".
Melinda walked over , "What would you like Suzie"?
'I like pretty much of anything, pick one Melinda". She grabbed a bag of chips, and put it in the cart. Suzie grabbed some popcorn, and smiled, 'We have to have popcorn". They got to the front, Melinda was paying for their stuff, she held the money for the three of them. Suzie paid for her stuff, they walked to the truck, putting the stuff in. Suzie pointed to the library, and they walked over going inside. Melinda and Jessie and even Sanda were looking around, grabbing a few books each. Suzie was going to put in under her name, she didn't read all that much. Jessie ran over, "Do you mind, I have 3 books, we have 1 month to bring them back".
"I don't mind Sweetie, oh you like Autobiography books I see"
"Yes, I love them, I like seeing how other people live. I have one murder mystery, I love them". Suzie smiled, "Sanda brought over 2 books, and Melinda brought over 3. Suzie smiled, "Romance for you two no murder mysteries"?
"No Jessie likes them".
"I see". They charged the books out, and were walking to the car. They all were pretty happy, they got in the truck, and were on there way back to the farm.

Chapter 27
They got to the farm, they brought the groceries into the house. They put them away, Suzie said she would show them around the farm the next day bright and early. She was going up to bed, but they could watch TV if they wanted to. They said they would, and Suzie went upstairs. They were watching a old movie when Jessie asked if she could go up, and get a bubble bath?
"Sure I'm sure Suzie will be ok, take this stuff upstairs'. Jessie smiled and walked upstairs, and went to her room. She went to the bathroom, and filled the tub up putting bubble bath in the tub. She went and got her nightgown, and locked the bathroom door. She got in the tub, and loved the bubbles, it made her fell content. She soaked for a while, she got out drying herself, and put her nightgown on. She was walking to the bedroom when she felt a pain in her stomach. She held the wall, it scared her, but she didn't want to disturb Suzie. She walked to the stairs, and walked down slowly.
Melinda and Sanda were watching the movie laughing. They were eating a bowl of chips when Jessie walked into the living room.
"Melinda, Sanda "
"Shh Jessie this movie is old but funny, come sit down".
"I have a pain it feels really weird what if I'm losing my baby"? Melinda jumped up so did Sanda.
"A pain is it bad are you bleeding"?
"Not bleeding, I got out of the bubble bath, it was like a kick in my stomach".
"Oh God I have to wake Suzie". Sanda ran upstairs , and knocked on her door. Suzie ran downstairs, "Jessie you are in pain"?
"Oh it is stopping but it was weird it was like it was kicking me "
Suzie put her hand to her mouth, "Do you three know anything about babies"?
"Well not really ". Melinda says
"She is going to be fine , the baby is moving that is a good thing. We will go in town to meet the Doctor this week, but you all will feel this . Tomorrow after me and Sanda come back from work, I'm picking up some baby books, you need them"
Jessie started to cry, "I'm sorry, I was so scared". Suzie walked over, "Sweetie, I'm not angry, but I have been around people that have had babies, and I lost one myself. I was like you girls but my Parents didn't send me away thank God. I guess I wasn't ready, but I do know what you felt is normal. I'm going upstairs, but I will make appointment for you. The Doctor in town is real cute, but he will give us a deal if I say we don't have much money. You guys should go to bed you are going to have a long day tomorrow". Suzie walked upstairs, Jessie walked over sitting down.
"I'm such a idiot, I'm so sorry "
"Well if it was us we would have freaked out too. We know now, and maybe baby books will be good. When the babies are born, we will have to breastfeed". Melinda says.
Jessie and Sanda giggle, "Oh I don't know if I can"
"Oh you will we don't have money for formula, and it is natural"
Sanda pouts, "I'm freaking out right now to much information". Jessie smiled so did Melinda, "Ok lets go to bed, tomorrow we will feel better". The three of them went upstairs, and went to their rooms.
