Dolly lay curled up to Kenny on the settee as he watched Big Jake on the television, he had his arm wrapped securely around her as her head rested on his chest. His mind was focused on the film where as Dolly's mind focused on something else entirely, more accurately her mind wouldn't leave the thought of it all being her fault go, instead the thought echoed in her head like the echoing of heels walking down a quiet corridor. Maybe it was her fault, and because of her Kenny's lost the chance of ever having children. She looks up at the man who appeared to be engrossed in the film, there was no doubt in her mind that he'd be a great father, he was so kind, caring, patient, and no doubt he'd spoil their child rotten. Dolly sighs, if only she could give him the chance to prove all that. The woman makes an effort to move, but the arm around her tightened. "And where do you think you're going little lady?" Kenny smiles looking down at her, that sweet genuine smile he only ever gave to her, and his eyes expressed all the adoration and love for the woman in his arms, though that didn't help Dolly, if anything it made her feel worse.

Her soft lips stretched into a smile, but didn't quite meet her eyes, "to bed." her voice broke, and her eyes were lit with sadness, that she attempted to cover with a smile, but her eyes never lied. Kenny's heart felt heavy at the sight of his wife, his strong little Dolly was breaking, breaking right before his very eyes. The smile that once graced his lips moments ago, died faster than raindrops in the desert, or a flame of a candle that's just been blown out. It broke his heart to see his precious angel like this, and what made matters worse was knowing, that no matter what he did, he'd never be able to fulfil her longing for a child of their own. And who was he kidding, even he began losing hope, lord knows they've been trying for years.

"Do you think...Do you think you made a mistake?" she mutters, tears obvious in her eyes at this point, Kenny swallows, where was she going with this? "Mistake?" her gaze fell to his lap, "In marryin' me..." Now that stung, Kenny wasn't one to cry, but to here the love of his life call herself a mistake stung more than anything he'd ever known. "Wh-What?" he barely managed to choke out, tears forming in his own eyes. She sniffles, she was about to speak, however noticing the tears in her husbands eyes she remained silent. Kenny swallows, grabbing hold of his emotions. "Marryin' you was the best day of my life." he hadn't intended on snapping, but those words cut him deeper than any knife. He'd die for this woman if he had to, she was his everything. Dolly flinches slightly at the tone of his voice, however his strong arms embraced her, pulling her onto his lap. " You are my everythin' Dolly, My past and future." he held her tightly, burying his head into her blonde curls. " I love you so Much." his voice broke, Dolly moves slightly looking up at the man to see the tears fall. "You're crying..." her voice was laced with pain as she brought her hand up, wiping a tear from the man's face. "Never say that marryin' you was a mistake." he looks her in her eyes, she swallows, she'd hurt him, and she knew it.

"I'm Sorry" she whispers tears streaming down her face, he pulls her into a hug, holding her close. "Shh, it's alright, just don't say it again." his voice was soft, he rubbed her back, closing his own eyes trying to stop anymore of his own tears from falling. He hushed her, comforted her, holding her in his arms until the tears died down. Dolly sniffles against Kenny's chest, her tears no longer falling from her pretty little eyes. They stayed like that for long moments, until Dolly moved, she met his soft gaze, both of their eyes red and puffy. "I love you." she whispers, sniffling slightly, smeared mascara lines were visible on her face due to the tears that moments before flowed from her beautiful eyes, but he didn't care, she was still beautiful to him. "And I love you, More than any words could ever express." he tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. "now how about a nice hot relaxin' bath?" Kenny smiles softly. "another one?" a small smile made it's way to the blonde's lips at the small kiss Kenny just placed there with his own. " Yes another one." he whispers, looking into her eyes.
