* * * *

The summer passed, and fall arrived. Melody was almost five months along when she felt the baby move. She had not written to Henry’s family yet to tell them about the child she carried. She greatly feared that if the duke and duchess discovered her condition, they would demand she return to Sanderford Park. At the very least, they would try to control her life, and His Grace might even try to take her child away, especially if it were a male. The duke was such a powerful man. She would not give him a chance to take the babe.

Melody was determined to have this child and give it all the love she had in her heart. She would tell her baby about Henry and how brave, kind, and wonderful he had been.

On the day of her first wedding anniversary, she spent the entire time on the bench where Henry had proposed to her. She gazed at her hand and rolled her wedding ring around her finger. It fit much looser since she had lost so much weight. She still had to force herself to eat. Not because it made her ill, but because her grief was so intense, she had no appetite. As she sat on the bench, she remembered the joy she had experienced when he had placed the ring on her finger.

Oh, why, why did he have to die?

Why is life so unfair?

Henry was too young to die. She tried to let go of her grief, but it was too hard. Melody would never forget her husband. Placing her hand on her belly, she felt a soft flutter as gentle as butterfly wings. Her babe had moved. Although it was an amazing feeling, she was too sad today to appreciate the miracle. She lowered her head into her hands and softly wept for all she had lost. Once evening fell, she finally stood and slowly went back into the house.

She spent much of her time with her parents and told them about her time with Henry. She found it calming to talk of him. Thank goodness her mother listened to her whenever she wanted to talk, and she was so grateful she had decided to come home.

The nights were the hardest times for her. That was when she missed him the most. Just thinking about never being in his arms again, never feeling his touch, ripped her heart in a thousand pieces.

While Melody missed Henry’s brother and sisters, she had made the right decision in coming home. Nelson had written telling her that Mary Harrison had accepted his proposal and they were getting married. They were planning a Christmas wedding, and he wanted her to come. She wrote back and told him she could not travel because she was still not feeling her best and could not face the long journey.

Christmas proved to be particularly difficult. It brought all the memories of last Christmas and how much fun she’d had with Henry and his sisters.
