The donkey that Mary was on stopped. She noticed that Joseph was wearing a garment of sackcloth.

" Joseph, why are you in mourning?".

" My father Jacob".

" Oh no". A tear began to come her face. " He was a wonderful man".

" What brings you back from Nazareth?".

Mary grinned. " It is time for Elizabeth to give birth".

Both Joachim and Hannah heard a commotion. They came to investigate.

Both of them noticed their oldest daughter. They walked over and gave her a hug.

Mary smiled. " Joseph is coming soon to take me to his home".

Hannah frowned. " Our Mary living in a crowded cave of a house".

Joachim grinned. " Let's be happy Joseph wants our daughter for his wife".

Hannah shook her head. " Joseph has always wanted Mary to be his bride".

Mary felt her bulge. " This child is destined to be our deliverer".

Joachim stared at Mary. " What did your Aunt have to say about everything?".

" She knew".
