Some years on
The house had a green yard, exactly as he’d promised — and on a warm Saturday in early summer, years on from the mountains, the yard was full of children.
Four of them ran in it now, where once there had been four babies passed breast to breast, and they ran the way children run who have never once been afraid: hard, and loud, and certain of their welcome in the world. The three girls and the boy, milk-siblings and blood-siblings both, so tangled into one another that strangers could never sort whose child was whose — which was exactly as the grandmother had foretold, and exactly as the family liked it. They were not four children of four mothers. They were the children. They belonged to the house.
Omar watched them from the porch, his bad leg up on a second chair the way the VA doctor was always telling him to keep it. He limped still, and always would; the leg ached when the weather turned, and there was metal in his arm that would ride there till he died, and there were nights, fewer now than there had been, when the war came back behind his eyes. But he had walked his daughters to their first days of American school on that leg, and carried his son on his shoulders on it, and danced — badly, gracelessly, to his wives’ open delight — at more than one wedding on it. It had brought him home. He’d made his peace with what it cost.
The medical retirement had come through years ago now. The back pay and the benefits had bought the house outright — this house, the green-yarded house in Cedar Rapids, with rooms enough for a family this size, paid for with the wages of the war that had nearly killed him, which struck him sometimes as a strange and fitting arithmetic: the soldiering converted, in the end, into a roof over the people he’d soldiered his way home to. Their papers had been regularized, the long slow grind of it finally done — green cards, and then, in time, for those who wanted it, the path to something more. They were not refugees anymore, not parolees, not a case file pushed by a veterans’ group. They were Americans, or becoming them, a family with a deed and a mailbox and four children in the local schools.
And the women.
He watched them now, through the kitchen window and out in the yard, the four of them moving through a Saturday afternoon with the ease of women who had finally, after lives that gave them no reason to expect it, arrived somewhere safe.
Mariam ran the house the way she’d run the stone house in the valley — the still point, the matriarch, though she’d learned to laugh more in America than she ever had in the mountains, and she’d learned English faster than any of them out of sheer refusal to be bested by it, and she’d planted a garden in the green yard that was the envy of the neighborhood. She was pregnant again, as it happened, by her own choosing, at an age that made the doctors fuss and made her wave them off; she’d buried the idea of motherhood once, and having gotten it back she intended to have as much of it as God would give her.
Nadia had gotten her hand — the metal-and-plastic one the doctors had made, that worked, that let her do with two hands what she’d learned to do with one. She’d wept the day they fitted it, not because she’d needed it, she was quick to say, one hand had always been enough, but because a country that would build a woman a new hand was a country she could hardly believe she lived in. She’d taken to American life with her bottomless calm, certain here as she’d been certain everywhere, and she was studying now — nursing, of all things, because she’d decided that a woman who’d sewn a man’s wounds shut by lamplight in a war ought to do it properly, with a license.
