Chapter 25

What a mess I've gotten myself into. My heart aches for both of them. The only thing I think I can do, to correct this, is to make sure that I get back to my Dad and forget about all that has happened. I need to stop myself from going and then no one will get hurt.

My selfishness has killed Dad and will break two men's hearts. I deserve to have my heart broken.

The next memory is of Joseph leaving.

"Can I go with you?"

"Not this time, Princess. I need Sasha to bring back our supplies."

I stick my lower lip out just a little bit but it isn't working with him.

"In my experience, Princess' don't pout." he says jokingly. "You can't go. I can't wait to tell Adam about our baby. Mother will be so happy!"

He gives me a quick kiss and a hug before he takes off laughing at my half hearted pout. I spend the day at the pond enjoying the sun. It will be fall soon and I won’t get as much sun. I giggled imagining Joseph scrubbing these clothes and washing the dishes.
