The next day when I woke up i saw that Thomas was gone and one of the house maids was cleaning.
"Oh Mrs Jefferson your up. Did you sleep well."
"Yes i did um have you seen Thomas anywhere?"
"He went out."
I sit down.
"Mrs. Jefferson can i get you anything."
"No I'm fine um...sorry I don't know your name..."
"Its Talua."
" Talua...well No thanks I'm fine."
I know in what I learned in not supposed to talk to the slaves but It came to my mind.
"Talua are there any other workers who are mothers."
"Um yes ma'am I can lead you to her."
"Thank you."
As Talua leads me to the fields she brings me to this one slave who has a child on her back.
"Tama the mistress  wants to see you."
"Yes mistress."
"I need your help."
"How's that?"
" as you know I am young for I'm pregnant with Thomas child I need your help as I have no idea how to care for a baby."
"Isn't your mother support to teach you?"
"My mother kicked me out of my original home as I am staying here now."
Tama knods as she leads back to the house. She takes the baby she had on her back. It was her son only a few months old.
She shows  how to change them, feed them and make sure they are ok. As I hold her child I felt so bad for it. A small infant scrawny almost starving. I get up and carry her child.
"Til Thomas or Thomas father gets home I will watch your child as you work."
" but ma'am are you sure about this?"
"I'll need to learn sometime as I'm gonna soon be a mother my self."
"Thank you...thank you so much mistress.." tama runs out to go back to work as I watch her baby. I was know kinda excited going to be a mother but worried at the same time.
As I start to get the hang of  carrying the baby I give him back to tama as right before Thomas gets home.
"Hello my love." Thomas says kissing me."You feeling alright."
"Yes."
"I have a surprise for you."
"Really when?"
"Tomorrow. Oh y/n your gonna love it."
