Letter twenty-six.
Status: delivered.
Current location: Lilith's grave.
Mum,
I turned twenty-four today. Richard asked what I'd like to do, and given my rather swollen stomach, I told him I wanted to visit my parents.
I'm pregnant. I don't know yet if it's male or female, but I've got names either way. Yours, for example. And Aunt Lucy's, and Grandmother's. Father's, uncle's and grandfather's for a boy. I'm hoping for a boy, if I'm being honest. I don't exactly know why. You know how you had the feeling I was a girl? I have a feeling my little bean is a boy. Richard would be thrilled.
You were my age when you had Caspian. He's fantastic, mum. Got a girlfriend and everything. Though I suppose they'll be married soon. He's planning a proposal, with Richard's help. I think that's a terrible idea, but he's my husband, so I would never say so.
I don't know what I was thinking with this. I told myself I was finished after your funeral, but so many things have happened since then. I read the letters. They broke my heart into a million little pieces that Richard had to pick up. How Cas read them at fifteen remains a mystery to me. Aunt Sue believes. She wrote letters, too. I miss you.
Dad died at my age, didn't he? I can't imagine losing Richard, and I've been with him for a much shorter time than you and dad. You were so strong, mum. Good for you for raising us so well.
I love you. I miss you.
All my love,
Marie Finley
