I lost three big babies and I am still holding up fine.""This one is innocent." He pointed out."You're bent on making me miserable aren't you?" She blinked back tears. She sat crossed-legged on the bed, dropped her gaze, and picked at the frayed hems of the hospital clothes worn on her."I just want to say it's okay to feel pain but let it loose.

As she wiped her hands, her eyes remained on the ringing phone. She had just stepped out of the shower when it began to ring.After thoroughly drying her hand, she tapped on the green button and placed it on a loudspeaker."Karen?" Dennis's voice croaked through the phone's speakers."Yes, Dennis. Is everything alright?"" Yes. I just called to ask if you would like to join us for dinner at the Abbey's tonight.""How's Destiny?" She first asks, wondering why he'd think of dining when his granddaughter is still fighting to live."She was discharged yesterday so it means she's getting well isn't it?""Yes. I'm glad to hear."

While Wilhelm helped chop the vegetables for dinner, he felt his mother's eyes on him most of the time. When he could take it no longer, he looked up."What?" He questioned."Nothing.""If it's nothing then why do you keep looking at me?""Just check if they are in yet. I feel they are."He dropped the knife, wiped his hands clean, and gave his mom one suspicious look before sauntering out rather eagerly.His heart did a weird flip when his eyes met her.
