"It wasn't you, it would've happened I'm sure if you were here." Virginia murmured. But maybe it wouldn't have if he had stayed with her. It would've been harder to hide each pregnancy from her husband. Perhaps things would have been different but she couldn't change what had happened. Even if she wanted to sometimes. "Then I'm a terrible parent, I just want her to be happy."

Looking up at her husband, she took a breath the words and secrets almost on her lips as she murmured his name softly.

"Robert... I... I love you." Virginig murmured, tightening her hold on him. She couldn't tell him, he'd hate her. She didn't know if she could forgive herself after all.
