Rosebella’s husband dies on patrol, and she finds out a few weeks later that she’s pregnant.

Joel and Ellie move into jackson when you are 3-4 months pregnant, no one in town really knows about your pregnancy except for Tommy and Maria, and the town doctor — you want to keep it to yourself for as long as you can.

You are the town seamstress and you love your job and Joel goes to you to patch up his jacket after he rips it one day out on patrol.

Joel’s seen you around town in the few weeks he’s been in jackson — always looking sad, and always alone.

he’s immediately drawn to you — your kind voice and demeanor that’s oh so sweet on the surface, but he can see the way your smile doesn’t reach your eyes, the sadness in them.
