Sarah gave them both a final searching look, then murmured something about being back in just a jiffy before heading out. She really did want to get the dust and grime from chores thoroughly off of her, and something to eat would be more than welcome, but they could use a little time to prepare, as well, and she didn't want to intrude.
Lydia's nerves spiked again with Sarah's absence but in truth for all that the contractions were certainly making themselves known, they weren't close enough together to truly make her worry something would go wrong before the midwife got back. She gave Samuel a smile, attempting to hide her nervousness, and slid back to the edge of the bed, leaning on him to stand. "Thank you. I know she's right that I should eat, but it seems almost ridiculous to be thinking of it at a time like this..." She certainly wasn't hungry, but she was willing to do whatever was best for her and the baby.
