Ay Dios Mio, what if I am pregnant! What happens if John comes back, thinking that I love him, ready to marry me, and I am pregnant with another man’s baby! What about Rosaura! What will Pedro think! What am I going to do?! John has been away getting his aunt for a while now. The Revolution makes it hard for him to travel, especially across the border. Because of the Revolution, John will be gone for a long time, and I have to be here with Pedro. We have been making love in secret for several days now, but I stopped coming to see him when I realized that I am pregnant. I do not know what to do. Should I run away with my baby, and leave everyone I love behind? Should I tell John about Pedro and break his heart? Should I lie to John about Pedro and marry him – but then he would know when I have my baby. Someone help me. I wish Gertrudis was here to help me. She would know what to do. One day, all of a sudden, the ghost of Mama Elena came to me and cursed my child! I wish she would leave me alone and never haunt me again! Even after her death I cannot be free of her! Ghost of Mama Elena
