Summary
The freight yard was empty today. The usual clamour of shunting trucks and hissing brakes had been replaced by a kind of watchful stillness. The sheds were steeped in amber, afternoon fading into evening, and normally by now, Porter would be sat at the kitchen table with Momma, doing his homework while she cooked dinner.
Instead, he was parked neatly beside a stack of pallets, his arms and chin resting on a crate someone had left there somewhere around midday. Every so often, he fidgeted, but for the most part, he was just still. Waiting and watching the tracks.
Momma was coming home today. And this time, she wouldn't be coming back alone!
She'd been pregnant for forever! Ever since that first morning when she'd rolled up next to him, kissed the top of his head, and told him gently that she had something new in her belly. A baby, she'd said.
