“You ask for Rosa?” This was Jonah’s way of caring. Rosa was an old Mexican woman who lived at the end of Boobs Bayou. She helped Ada birth her first son. He was born about one year ago.
“This pain just started. No way I knew to ask ahead of time.”
“Woman, you spect me to do it all? How quick you goin’ to have that boy? Spose you think I should get that ol’ spick?” He wanted no part of the birthing process.
“I’m sorry, Jonah. I don’t want to make any trouble for you.”
“Damn, Bitch.” He turned a walked out of their small cabin leaving Ada laying in a fetal position on her bed.
