Part 4: Adjournment
Chapter 2

Sitting on the floor, Ed was playing with the blocks as Beth
crawled towards him. She was able to move around the room with
ease and fast enough that it was difficult to catch her when she
wanted to evade a pursuer. Without much of an effort she sat up to
concentrate on the blocks that Ed had stacked one atop the other.
With great deliberation, she knocked the bottom block out of the
stack and watched it fall down. Looking up at Ed, she said,
"Good."
Ed rebuilt the stack and watched as Beth studied the stack.
Reaching out, she knocked out a middle block. Again the entire
pile fell, as the top blocks brought down the bottom blocks as they
traveled back to the floor. A frown crossed her face as she said,
"Bad."
Ed was about to rebuild the stack, when Beth started grabbing the
blocks. Watching her as she recreated the tower, he was struck by
the concentrated effort that she made to reproduce his tower to the
same number of blocks. Once it was done, she looked at it for a
long time before knocking the top block off the tower. The tower
remained standing as the knocked block fell harmlessly to the side.
A smile crossed her face and she said, "Good."
She replaced the block and then knocked off the top two blocks.
Again, the rest of the tower remained standing as the two blocks
landed to the side. Looking up at Ed, she said, "Good."
Staring at her open mouthed in amazement at what she had done,
Ed said, "That was very interesting Beth."
John looked up from the couch where he was reading a journal
article and asked, "What was interesting?"
Ed answered, "Beth brought down a tower of blocks by knocking
the bottom block out. She then tried knocking the middle block
out, but the whole tower fell. Then she rebuilt the tower and
knocked off the top block leaving the tower standing. She rebuilt
the tower again and then knocked the top two blocks off."
"That is interesting." John wasn't surprised that Beth was knocking
the structure down and rebuilding it. He had read that a lot of
children did that, but she was doing it a little earlier than most
children did.
"It's even better. She commented good and bad if the behavior was
what she expected."
Sitting up a little straighter at the new information, John asked,
"Really?"
"Yes, really," replied Ed. Ed added, "Her expectations were pretty
good."
"It would have been interesting to see what she would have
thought of frictionless blocks," replied John. He considered the
demonstration of gravity that she had performed a couple of days
before. Noticing that Ed had rolled his eyes, he added, "She's a
physicist."
"I think it is too early to say that. She said that my rocks were
pretty," replied Ed.
"She just built an arch! She's either a physicist or an architect.
Besides, your rocks are pretty even if you aren't a mineralogist,"
commented John.
The men were still discussing the future occupation of their
daughter, when Beth said, "Mama Ling."
Both men looked up at Ling standing at the entrance to the
informal living room. Her swollen belly looked like it was about to
burst any moment. A grimace crossed her face as she bent over.
Anyone could see that she was having a contraction and a major
one at that. Ed pulled out his cell phone and hit the speed dial. One
the second ring, Dr. Hayes answered, "Hello."
Excited, nervous, and happy at the same time, Ed exclaimed, "Ling
is having a contraction!"
"Calm down. Has her water broke?"
Ed looked over at Ling as John was helping her into the room. He
asked, "Has your water broke?"
"Yes."
Seeing the excitement of the adults in the room, Beth started to get
fearful. As Ed relayed the message to the doctor, he reached down
and picked up Beth. She immediately calmed down in his arms.
Dr. Hayes said, "Get her to the van and stop by to pick me up. I'll
ride with her to the hospital. You and everyone else can follow in
your own cars because I don't want the van crowded in case I have
to deliver a baby."
Ed hung up the phone and said, "John, get her to the van and pick
up Doc Hayes. I'll get everyone else and we'll meet you at the
hospital."
John picked up Ling and carried her out of the room despite the
fact that she could still walk. At least he didn't run, although he did
walk a little faster than necessary.
Looking down at Beth, Ed smiled and said, "You are about to
become a big sister! I think that you'll love being a big sister."
After a minute of looking at Ed, Beth said, "Mama Ling."
"She's okay. She's having a baby and we need to take her to the
place where people have babies," replied Ed.
Ed picked up the phone in the room and called Cathy. When she
answered, he said, "Cathy, let everyone know that Ling is on her
way to the hospital to have a baby."
This was going to take a little time since Kelly was in her
bedroom, Leroy was at the University, and Linda was at the
library. Chuckling at how difficult it was to get the whole family in
one place, Cathy answered, "Okay, I'll send out the word."
Within minutes, Kelly showed up in the informal living room. She
looked at Beth snuggled comfortably in Ed's arms and listened as
he explained to the baby that she was about to become a big sister.
She interrupted, "You two ready to go to the hospital?"
"Yes, we were just talking about how Ling was going to have a
baby," replied Ed.
Shaking her head, Kelly felt that Beth was too young to understand
exactly what that meant. She went over and accepted Beth from
Ed. The first action that Beth performed was to grasp the medallion
that hung around Kelly's neck. Noticing the action, Kelly said,
"She just loves my medallion."
Puzzled, Ed said, "She totally ignores mine."
"That's because she's always holding your finger," replied Kelly
with a smile. She had come to believe that Beth really looked
forward to being with each of her parents. She dealt with each of
them in very individual ways. If she was feeling finicky, no one
could calm her down faster than Linda. It was interesting how
fascinated Beth had been with Ling's belly. It was as if she could
feel the life growing within Ling. Beth would race around the
room, crawling as Leroy chased her and then they would reverse
roles. Of all the relationships, the one between Beth and John was
the most complex and hardest to describe.
Getting out of the chair, Ed put an arm on Kelly's back to guide her
to the car. On the way out of the house, he stopped and picked up
the baby bag with spare diapers, a change of clothes, and a book.
After that, it was a matter of buckling the baby into the baby seat
of the car. It always amazed Ed at how much longer it took to get
somewhere with Beth along.
At the hospital, Ed and Kelly went to the waiting room. Dr. and
Mrs. Hayes were already in the room, sitting on two of the chairs
talking to each other. When they entered, Mrs. Hayes said, "Give
Beth to me so that I can be a grandmother for a few minutes."
Laughing in acknowledgement that getting time with Beth was
difficult at best, Kelly handed the baby over to the elderly woman.
Mrs. Hayes bounced Beth on her knee remarking, "She's such a
well behaved baby."
Puzzled by the comment, Ed asked, "Why wouldn't she be well
behaved?"
"Some babies are fussy."
"When she's fussy, we give her to Linda and she calms right
down," answered Ed as though that explained everything. Of
course, having six parents meant that each could deal with the
child in their own fashion. Linda calmed her down and Leroy
cheered her up.
It wasn't long before Linda and Leroy showed up in the waiting
room. After a quick hello, Linda headed off into the hospital to be
the Lamaze coach for Ling. Leroy came over to Dr. and Mrs.
Hayes to see how they were doing. Leroy had basically taken care
of the elderly couple ever since they had arrived. However, little
Beth had different ideas about what Leroy was supposed to do and
exclaimed, "Daddy Leroy!"
When Beth started to struggle, Mrs. Hayes set her on the floor.
Within seconds, Beth was racing around the room, crawling as fast
as she could. Leroy was on his hands and knees chasing her. Even
though she was outpacing him, he called, "I'm going to get you!"
After about four circuits around the waiting room, Beth was tired
and hungry. She returned to Kelly and slowly stood up using
Kelly's leg as a support. With a wink at Leroy, Kelly picked her
up. Once Beth had reached her lap, she started pulling at the
buttons of the shirt. Getting the hint, Kelly undid her blouse to feed
her. As Beth went to suckle, her hand closed around the medallion.
Ed noticed the gesture and thought about it. Most people missed
the medallion, not seeing it unless it was pointed out to them. Beth
was always aware of the medallion as though it was a bright
presence that couldn't be ignored.
Mrs. Hayes watched the domestic scene with interest. When she
was a mother, most women used a bottle to feed their children,
often times without ever breast feeding the child once. When she
was a mother, a woman with money never bared her breast to feed
a child, especially in public. She commented, "In my day women
didn't breastfeed their babies. I think we missed something
special."
After years of hearing her mother talk about breast feeding her,
Kelly replied, "My parents were free spirits and I was breast feed. I
guess that was kind of exceptional at the time."
Listening to the conversation, Leroy had a totally different
perspective. He had seen lots of women breast feeding their
children when he was growing up. He said, "My parents weren't
rich and lived in the country. Breast feeding was very common."
For Ed, the conversation was about a topic that he had never given
any thought. It was an interesting discussion, as he had never
thought about how people raised their children in such
fundamentally different ways. He had always thought that
everyone fed babies milk out of a bottle. He couldn't remember
ever seeing anyone breastfeeding a baby before. By the time the
discussion ended, Beth had finished feeding.
Another family came into the room just after Kelly had finished
buttoning her blouse. There were two women and two men. It
wasn't difficult to identify the relationships among the group. The
two men were brothers, about two years different in age, and
differed only in behavior. The younger brother was very nervous
while the older brother was calm. The elderly woman was the
mother of the young men. The younger woman was married to the
calm brother.
The people were not well dressed. The brothers wore tee shirts
with the names of bands on them and looked like they did manual
work; at least when they worked. The older brother had a pack of
cigarettes rolled in the sleeve of his tee shirt. The wife wore shorts
and a halter-top; her hair was cut short and styled in spikes. The
mother was dressed in tight fitting jeans and a frilly blouse.
The younger woman came over to Kelly and, smiling at Kelly,
bent down to look at Beth. She tickled Beth and said, "Goo, Goo,
Gah, Gah."
With a look of puzzlement on her face, Beth said, "Huh?"
It was at that moment when Kelly realized no one in the family
ever used baby talk with Beth. The thought of talking nonsense to
the baby had never occurred to any of them. The woman was
puzzled by the baby's odd response. She said, "Is she deaf or
something?"
Looking over at the woman, Kelly explained, "She doesn't
understand what you said. Could you maybe restate what you were
saying?"
Without really thinking about it, Leroy added, "I didn't understand
it either."
Confused by his statement, the woman said, "It isn't supposed to
mean anything, it is baby talk."
Everyone sat there for a moment not knowing exactly what to say.
Finally, Leroy asked, "Beth, do you like baby talk?"
"No."
As she shrugged her shoulders as an apology, Kelly looked up at
the woman and said, "I'm sorry. She doesn't like baby talk."
The woman scoffed, "You can't be serious. She can't understand
that much."
As her fingers rubbed the medallion around Kelly's neck, Beth
answered, "Can."
Looking at the woman, Ed asked, "Why would you make nonsense
sounds to a baby so that they spend their time trying to learn a
nonsense language?"
Staring at the baby, the woman returned to sit beside her brother
and parents. She answered, "You are supposed to talk to a baby
like that."
Leroy said, "She's not used to baby talk. We tend to talk to her like
an adult and she is used to that."
The younger man sat in his chair, bouncing his right leg up and
down out of nervousness, feeling that his sister-in-law was rather
bossy. Hoping to change the subject, he said, "My wife is having a
baby today."
Smiling at the young man, Ed said, "So is our wife."
The group just stared at Ed as if he had said something completely
unexpected. After considering his words for a minute, the older
woman asked, "Whose wife?"
Gesturing to the whole group, Leroy said, "Our wife."
"Oh." It was a very flat response that indicated disapproval. She
looked over each of them with distrust. A black man, a cowboy, a
woman with a baby, and two old folks. It was a strange group and
she suspected they were members of some sort of strange cult.
Wearing his robe and carrying his walking staff, John strode into
the room exuding his normal sense of confidence. It only
confirmed the other woman's opinion of them. Seeing the family
gathered there, he said, "Ling is doing fine and Linda is doing her
coaching job. About the time Ling screamed, they chased me out
of there."
"So that's why she wouldn't let me be the coach. She didn't want
one of the men to see her screaming," said Leroy knowing how
proud Ling was about her toughness.
"I guess so," answered Ed not understanding why Ling would not
want John or Leroy present.
Going over to Beth, John leaned down and asked, "Do you want
me to read to you?"
"Yes," replied Beth with a nod.
Going to the baby bag, John removed the book that had been
packed inside it. He sat down next to Kelly and accepted Beth
from her. Beth settled on his lap while making a cooing sound.
Opening the book, he started reading the chapter on inertia.
Watching from across the room, Ed asked, "What happened to the
geology book I had packed?"
John didn't answer as he continued reading, but a smile did cross
his face. Leroy said, "I think someone changed books on you."
The younger woman across the room asked, "Are you telling me
that you actually read that stuff to your baby?"
Ed looked over at the woman and answered, "Of course. Why
not?"
"Don't you think that the material is a little advanced?" asked the
woman. She looked at her mother in-law with a look that
demonstrated her concerns about the ability of this family to raise
their children. Whispering to the elder woman, "Social Services?"
"We've been reading this stuff to her since she was born and she
has never complained about it," answered Leroy. Shrugging, he
added, "I read my biology books to her. John reads physics. Ed
reads his geology books. Kelly reads her nursing books to her. She
lets us know which one she wants to read to her and we read to
her."
Ed said, "She likes holding my finger. When she wants me to read
something over, she squeezes it."
Surprised that Beth did that for Ed, Leroy said, "She kicks my leg
when she wants me to read something over."
Looking over at the other two men, John said, "She knocks her
head against my chest."
Kelly looked at the three men and Beth, hearing this for the first
time. She asked, "Are you telling me that she understands this
stuff?"
Smiling over at her, Ed said, "She was trying to figure out inertia
earlier, but friction got in the way. It was really rather amazing."
The older woman was convinced that these people were making it
all up. Chastising them, she said, "You guys are crazy."
Beth answered, "No."
The father to be, who had never understood any of that material,
asked, "You guys really read all that stuff to your baby?"
Nodding in the affirmative, Ed said, "Yes. Every day that we are
home, we each read something to her."
"And she understands it?"
Shaking her head, Kelly answered, "These guys seem to think so,
although it is hard to say. There are times when I think she does."
Changing the subject, Ed said, "We've been here almost an hour.
What's the problem?"
Laughing at his impatience, Kelly said, "A lot of women take
eighteen or more hours to give birth."
"Really?"
"Yes, really."
Ed sat quiet thinking about what he had learned. Finally, he turned
to Leroy and asked, "That doesn't sound like a reasonable strategy
for species survival."
Dr. Hayes said, "It isn't a reasonable strategy. In fact, giving birth
was..."
Ed felt a need to prevent the doctor from saying it was the leading
cause of death among women at one time. Rather than allow him
to complete the statement and worry Beth, Ed interrupted, "Yes, I
know that."
Beth had been watching Dr. Hayes as he started giving the facts.
When Ed had cut him off, Beth looked over at Ed with puzzlement.
She didn't quite understand what he had done. Looking back at Dr.
Hayes and holding her hands out to be picked up, she said, "Daddy
Doc."
Recognizing that Beth wanted to go to her grandfather, John set
her down on the floor. She crawled over to Dr. Hayes and stopped
when she reached him. She stood up using his leg for support. It
was clear that in a while she would be climbing up in laps on her
own. Taking great care not to stress his back, he bent down and
picked her up to set her on his lap. Once there, she looked up at
him as she said, "Mama Ling."
"Ling is okay. She's having a baby," replied the doctor realizing
that Beth was worried about Ling. Smiling down at her, he added,
"You are going to be a big sister, soon."
The woman sitting with the other family had been watching the
exchange with a strange expression on her face. It was impossible
for her to believe that this child could actually follow the
conversation. Conventional wisdom said children that young
couldn't possibly understand such complex sentences. If anyone
had told her that she would observe a baby acting like that, then
she would have called him or her a liar. She asked, "Are you happy
to become a big sister?"
The question was impossible for Beth to answer. After looking at
the women, Beth turned to her grandfather for clarification and
asked, "Huh?"
Mrs. Hayes understood the problem and answered, "She has no
idea what it means to be a big sister. If you ask her after she meets
the baby, then she'll be able to answer you."
Leroy explained, "She's never really seen kids before in that
context."
"You people are strange," replied the woman as she tried to
determine what game the Carter Clan was playing.
John laughed at the comment while Ed and Leroy exchanged
winks. As he settled back in his chair, he said, "We've been
accused of that more than once.
One of the doctors entered the room and saw the Carter Clan
sitting there. Going over to Dr. Hayes and the baby, he greeted
them, "Hello, Dr. Hayes. Hi, Kelly."
As a smile spread over her face, Kelly replied, "Hello Doctor
Daugherty, how are you doing?"
Bending down to look at Beth, he answered, "Things haven't been
the same since you left. How's the clinic going?"
Dr. Hayes answered, "It's going very well. I love being a country
doctor and Kelly is a great nurse."
Beth reached up and stroked the stethoscope around the doctor's
neck. After a minute, she said, "Doctor."
Doctor Daugherty laughed and answered, "That's right. I'm a
doctor just like your grandfather."
"Good," cooed Beth.
Shaking his head, he remarked, "That is amazing. I was on my way
to see Ling and thought I would stop by and say hello to the rest of
the family. Where's the lovely Linda?"
Leroy answered, "She's the Lamaze coach and is with Ling right
now making sure that she breathing properly."
"Ah, I doubt she needs a coach. I've never met anyone as
physically fit or as mentally disciplined as Ling. After meeting her,
I recommend the martial arts for young women for the physical
benefits," remarked the doctor.
Proud of his wife, Ed said, "She's undefeated so far. By this time
next year, I expect her to be national champion."
Winking at Dr. Hayes at the evident pride the family had for their
wife, the doctor replied, "I have no doubts about that. Let me go
check on her."
Everyone in the room watched the doctor leave. The elderly
woman asked, "Did I understand correctly? You are a doctor?"
Nodding in the direction of the woman, Dr. Hayes replied, "Yes, I
am."
The conversation was cut short when Kelly looked up and
exclaimed, "Here comes Linda!"
Excited, Linda came into the room and shouted, "It's a boy! Nine
pounds, eight ounces!"
Everyone responded with excitement. Leroy asked, "When can we
see them?"
"They are moving her to a room now. The nurse will come out to
show us to her room once she's ready to see us."
Beth continued to look confused, not quite sure what to make of
the excitement. She looked up at her grandfather and asked,
"Good?"
"Very good," replied the elderly doctor with a smile. He asked,
"Are you ready to see your little brother?"
"Yes."
Kelly picked up Beth so that the doctor could stand and use his
cane to walk to the room when the nurse came to get them. The
rest of the family stood, with most of them stretching to get
movement back in their muscles after the long wait. John picked
up the baby bag and put the book he had been reading in the bag.
They had hardly gotten ready when a nurse showed up to take
them to the room. The family walked behind Dr. Hayes as he
hobbled down the hall using his cane for a support.
It was a normal hospital room with the standard uncomfortable
bed. The head of the bed had been raised so that Ling was sitting
up. Her hair was messed up, her face was blotchy, and her makeup
was ruined from the effort to give birth. This was not a Hollywood
birth. The baby was nestled in her left arm. As the family entered
the room, with a tone of pride Ling said, "I want everyone to meet
John Carter, Junior."
Surprised, John said, "I'm really honored that you chose to name
him after me."
When it was time for Kelly to see little John, Beth stretched her
arms and said, "Mama Ling."
At a nod from Ling, Kelly set Beth next to Ling. Beth ran a hand
over Ling's stomach puzzled by the change. As Ling laughed at her
confusion, Beth looked up at her relieved. Ling said, "Come over
here and meet your brother."
Beth crawled across Ling, moving gently, and stopped when she
finally caught sight of little John. Her hand reached out, hesitating
for a moment, and then touched the infant. Moving closer, she
examined him with great interest and curiosity. She looked over at
Ling and said, "Small."
Smiling at Beth, Ling nodded as she said, "Yes, he's still very
small. You have to help him."
Touching him with a gentleness that was quite striking, Beth ran a
hand along his arm. After a minute, she said, "Good."
Kelly picked up Beth and said, "Ling and little John need to rest
now."
Without complaining, Beth settled into Kelly's arms. She watched
as Ed stood over little John with a smile on his face. Reaching
down, he stroked Ling's face in a gentle caress. As Ling smiled, he
said, "He's very handsome."
Reaching down, he took little John's hand in his. The little hand
almost disappeared in his large hands. The shape of his eyes was
the same as his mother's giving his face an oriental cast to it. The
hair was black and rather sparse on top. The skin was reddish and
would change color over the next few days. When little John
opened his eyes, they were the same color gray as his. Ed smiled
and said, "His eyes are like both of ours."
Laughing, Ling said, "Maybe he has my temper."
"I'm afraid to reply to that," Ed joked as the rest of the family
laughed.
When the family returned to the waiting room, the woman asked,
"So, little girl. Do you like being a big sister?"
"Yes," replied Beth. She was silent for a moment as she considered
her answer. Finally, looking at the other woman with an unnerving
directness, she said, "John is small."
The family looked at each other in surprise as the woman stared at
Beth. Finally, the woman said, "She spoke a whole sentence."
Mrs. Hayes answered, "Of course. She's smart, just like her
mothers and fathers."
"Aren't you a little old to be married to these young people?" asked
the woman.
The question was such a surprise that everyone laughed. Dr. Hayes
said, "We are the parent-in-laws. Little Beth is our granddaughter
and was named after our daughter."
"So it is your daughter that is having the baby?"
A moment of silence fell on the room as everyone considered their
loss. It was Leroy that answered, "No. She was killed when a car
ran over her. The car injured her father and we took them in while
he was healing. We are lucky that they've decided to stay in the
area. He and Kelly have opened a health clinic in the town that
serves anyone regardless of economics. Mrs. Hayes is a jewel that
lends a perspective on things that we often need."
This didn't sound like the actions of a cult. Usually, cults tried to
keep families away from them rather than embrace them. The
woman asked, "What kind of cult are you?"
"We are a family, not a cult. We love each other very much,"
replied Leroy rather irritated at the label.
"Oh come on, you have a group marriage. You have to be some
sort of cult. What religion are you?"
Mrs. Hayes answered, "My husband and I are protestant. Our
daughter was protestant. Leroy is a Southern Baptist and his father
is a deacon in the church. Linda is Catholic. Ling is a Buddhist.
Kelly, John, and Ed are Druids."
Confused by the large number of religions represented, the woman
asked, "So what religion will you bring up the children?"
"It will be their choice. We will expose them to all of the religions
and allow them to choose the one that calls them," answered
Leroy. This had been an area of discussion for a long time. They
had been careful not to discussion religion in front of Beth.
Grabbing the medallion around Kelly's neck, Beth said, "Lady."
