•••

Ransom is glad you were able to get out of the bed to be by his side right now. Hell even he felt like not going to this dinner because of the news you got a couple of days ago.

It was no secret you and Ransom were trying for a baby, you always loved to talk about how much you wanted children with him and Harlan always adored it.

But a couple days ago, you got the most devastating news. You're not able to carry a baby, your body is not capable of it. And it threw you into this dark mindset that lasted until today.

Ransoms hand wraps around yours and squeezes lightly. He doesn't need to tell you what he's thinking, because you know. He's happy you're here with him.

Harlan smiles at the interaction, he has never seen his grandson like this, you truly bring out the best in him. Especially since the news, Ransom has cared for you and comforted you in a way he wouldn't have done had it been anybody else.

He leans closer to you and places a gentle kiss on your cheek. 'You doing okay?' He asks in a hushed tone. He doesn't want his family to have more ammunition on you than they already have.

You give him a short nod and a small smile. It doesn't reach your eyes which makes Ransom kiss you on the cheek once more.

'I just want to focus on the good right now...' you fiddle with the wedding ring on your finger. 'I mean, I still have the best husband ever..'

'And I have the hottest wife on earth-'

'Ran..' you sigh with a smile that does reach your eyes. 'I mean it... and that's enough for me... and all say it as much as you need to hear it..'

His mother watches you from across the table, a whole other attitude than Harlan has. Where Harlan loves to see his grandson like this, Linda sees you as his weakness, and her son will have no weakness.

She protested at the wedding, even before that. She ruined the engagement party in an attempt to push you apart, just like the majority of your relationship. And now that she heard what you've been keeping a secret, she can't wait to cause this scene in front of everyone, just to show the family that you are the weak link.

'I can't believe how you do it Ransom...' she speaks up, everyone else halts their conversation when she does.

'Do what mother?' He replies, already annoyed.

'I can't believe how you can stay with this woman..'

'Here we go again...' you sigh, sinking deeper into your chair.

'See I heard this rumour, one of the staff members heard it and at first she didn't want to tell me, but I pried it out of her... not only is she our weakness.. she's also a failure... truly Ransom I thought I raised you better...'

'A failure? What in the hell could that mean?' Joni asks confused.

'Well Joni.. they married... and then they find out she can't have children... not my Ransom of course... she is the problem...'
