For a big family, we come with a punch, there's a lot of us and we don't all get on. Especially when some people do things that are not needed. Lies that bind.

I was out and about in town, with my child going from shop to shop, she needed supplies for her schooling and such. To see that smile fall on her lovely face made my day, I knew who I was to her but I chose to be her mother, to be there when she needs me. I saw her hair and how it changed from an infant from light blonde to dark brown, like her father. He knew.
We sat across a table with our bags, in a cafe, outside sitting with our hot chocolates. "Mother." She eyes me, "Yes Annie?" "Please stay, I missed you, at least come home, take me home to Dad." I nod slightly.

Once we got to the house we heard the movements from the carriage, we stopped and got out. I heard the Adam men talking and chatting in the field. We got to the house, I stood outside with the flowers, I looked at the grass. I saw my daughter through the glass wall at the piano playing, tapping away with such a pretty melody. I turn to see Benny walking through his grounds, He catches my eyes He got up to me "You can stay if you wish, Im sure Annie would like that." "Hmm". "I er got what she needed, maybe next time you join us on our outing." I question he replies with "Is that a request duchess?" My face turns pink "Might be." He smiles and answers, "Sure thing, till next time then Jasmine."
"Till next time then," I repeat, not moving then I saw it in his eyes, how he wished for more from me, more from this, more from our family, he wanted my name to be Adam's but it wasn't. "What are you doing Duchess?" I tilt my head thinking "I love her, I love her so Benjamin." He nods and moved his body towards me "Yes I know, what are you-" He speaks, I had the courage to tell him my piece "I never gave you an answer or reason as to why I did what I did, and I'm sorry for that. I was just so sure of myself that I would or could never love or fall in love with this child, I feared it would break me Ben, and it did, it broke me. When I knew I had chosen to leave you I had left her as well." I began to cry tears fell, and he caught them. "I left a girl who was looking for a mother and I couldn't-" He wiped my tears away "It's fine, it had to be, it's what you wanted. As much as I don't want to say this I have to, We can't do this, you are to be married to Jacob. "
I moved away from him to the door holding on, "Maybe your right." He looked at me "But that doesn't change us, being us. We are parents to a child we share."
