73: The Anniversary

*Dennis X My Oc Elizabeth. ( Dennis and Elizabeth remembers the loss of the little ones that sadly passed on )

It was the anniversary of the unfortunate loss of the little ones and Dennis and Elizabeth were out in the garden next to their memorial garden to remember them. It was always a difficult time especially for Elizabeth and Dennis was making sure she was okay at every moment.

"My Sweet little ones" she whispers softly.

Dennis had lit a candle for them and planted some new flowers next to them "There you go our sweet babies" he whispered softly.

"I know they would have liked the flowers"

He smiled at her softly "I'm sure they do" he sighed.

She holds his hand in hers, tears start to roll down her face.

He hugs her tightly and kissed her head "It's okay" he whispered.

She looks up at him "Sometimes I feel like it's my fault, why couldn't I be able to heal myself so that couldn't happen"

"Shh it's not your fault Liz" he assured her softly kissing her.

She lays her head on his shoulder, crying softly into the crook of his neck.

Dennis just held her letting her cry "I love you no matter what" he reassured her.

"I love you too"

"I like to imagine what they would look like, what would their interests be, would they have your eyes or mine...things like that" he sighed softly.

"They probably be like our other babies most likely"

He nodded pointing to their first "This little one I've always imagined them being a boy, the other two are girls" he told her.

She looks away and stands up and starts walking towards the house.

His heart sinks thinking he'd said something wrong "Liz...I'm sorry I didn't mean to..." he panicked catching up with her.

"I just.. need to get dinner started, I got my family to feed" she says softly, walking up the stone steps and into the back door into the kitchen.

Dennis sat down on the bench looking out at the little one's resting places, he felt awful about what he'd said now, of course Elizabeth wouldn't want to be reminded of the lives they could have had. He berated himself for bringing up those stupid fantasies. "You had one job and that was to comfort her and make sure she was okay and you made it worse...you idiot" he told himself. He started getting worked up about it, so he decided to chop some wood for the fire to focus on something.

Elizabeth chops up every veggie they had in the fridge not really thinking on what she was going to make with it, she just throws it all in a big pan and adds oil, soy sauce and some other things. She grits her teeth as she was getting more stressed out like she used too but hadn't in a long time.

Dennis came back inside looking down at the floor guiltily "I'm sorry Liz...I wasn't thinking about what I was saying, I shouldn't have said anything about what could have been...I'm not feeling very hungry, I think I'll just go upstairs, I am really sorry I hope you can forgive me" he sighed trudging upstairs with a heavy heart.

"It's not you" she says slamming her fist down, she didn't mean to slam it down so hard, she ends up holding her hand because she hurt it.

Dennis jumped at the noise looking back nervously "Liz?" he said quietly.
