"You must've been so scared. The doctor mentioned about some complications-"

"Oh, scared I was. But not for me. I was scared about what I was about to do at that time. I was going to kill someone. Someone that did nothing wrong and was only the product of my stupidity."

I shook my head. "Please don't blame yourself. You did what you thought was right."

"I didn't think it was right. If I had even a slightest idea that you and Tristan wouldn't object to the baby or criticize me for it, I wouldn't have done it." I could feel her regret rolling off of her in waved.

"You've got to know that I would never criticize you for something like this. I don't know about Tristan but I would never."

She looked at me with sad eyes. She didn't say anything so I asked because I had so many questions.

"Why did you trust Heather with this? Weren't you scared she'd be mad at us?"
