Unconditionally

Hell

The birth had been successful, both baby and mother had survived. Madeleine wasn't in the best condition, her heart was still broken and childbirth had nearly killed her. But now she was on the mend, at least physically, mentally was for another matter. Her heir was healthy, Charles and Madeleine had a healthy baby girl. Elizabeth Anne Valois, next in line for the Irish throne. Madeleine sat holding her beautiful baby, ignoring Charles presence altogether. Though he hadn't left her side since the birth had got complicated and she requested he come in because she didn't want to die alone. And though she still loved him tremendously, some part of her still filled with hate towards him. She couldn't forgive him and she supposed she may never. For now her marriage was over, they were husband and wife only in words.
Charles carefully wrapped his arms around his wife and child,wanting to be near them as close as he could. "Don't touch me Charles, you are only here for Lizzie. If it wasn't for her you wouldn't be here right now." She looked up at him "I can't bare for you to touch or even look at me without feeling the need to get sick. Because every damn time you touch me or look at me, I think of you doing the same to her. We will never be us again, you ruined that. I could have lived the rest of my life happy and content with you. But not even a year after our marriage and me carrying your child you turned to another. And for that I hate you, for that resent marrying you. I should have married Henri, he would have put me and the child before anything. You may have sent your whore away, but I can never trust you again. So sincerely Fuck You Charles. Your selfish and disgust me. So you are here for only your daughter. " She stated coldly He couldn't help but stare, he didn't want to fight her but he wasn't about to lose her either. " You don't mean that! You love me and I love you. It's always been us. Please, please give me another chance. I won't take another mistress, there will only ever be you and our daughter. I am you husband and i am truly sorry." He pleaded with her to reasonable. "No Charles, I'm done. You hurt me, you made a fool out of me and you put your hands on me. So no we are truly over, only in name and duty. Any love I have for you is now filled with hate." She started crying " I never thought I could hate you but I do. I truly do and that is your fault." She kept crying, while trying nit to upset the sleeping babe.
Charles was shocked, he really never meant to hurt his wife. In fact he didn't even know why he slept with Nicole at first. And regretted it every night after, but he had to keep it up. Nicole had threatened to tell his wife, and to ruin her reign. Never had he thought they would be in this place now, he thought the love between the two was just to strong. he wondered if she really did wish she had married Henri, and he knew he should have let her. He would have been the better man and Charles himself could see that. he He looked up at her, even being so broken she was beautiful. He feared he would never be able to fix this, and he hated himself. He hated Nicole's and he hated the pain he put his wife through. Charles knew he couldn't make this right and silently began to cry to himself.
Madeleine looked over at him feeling slightly pained for him. "I just don't understand why. I don't understand why you would turn to her. You are a foolish man, a very foolish man. I may hate you I meant that, but I exaggerated on the love being replaced with hate. I love you to damn much that it will be the death of me. Literally and physically. But as much as I didn't mean the last bit, I did mean that I would never be yours again. I can't be, I gave you my heart and you shattered it is million pieces, just as you did for the wedding to be called of. You are not a bad man, but you are foolish. And your dick is what got you in trouble. If I would have done, what you did they would have had my head. But I do love you still and I always will. You gave me our daughter." She stated softly. "For her I have to let things go, but it doesn't mean things are fixed between us. It won't be for a long time. But I'm sure you will make it up to me. But it won't be easy." She looked up at him as she closed her eyes.
" I get that and I'm sorry, so truly sorry. And you are right, I will make it up to you and I will not stop trying till I make it right." He stated. She just nodded not wanting to fight anymore. "We have created a beautiful daughter. So tiny and so precious. Who we created out of love, and so we have to keep her innocence. No matter what." She stated kissing their little ones head.
"And we will, she is the best part of both of us. Nothing will come to harm her. I promise." He stated sincerely. They both just looked down at her saying no more. The silence wasn't terrible., it was much needed.. Here at that moment, they both laid down their armor, just for awhile at least.
