“Give them to me.” Beatrix is inches from my face. I startle with a jolt, but I can’t move. I’m dreaming.

“Jesus. Will you ever let up?” I ask.

Beatrix shakes her head, spraying my face with droplets of water. She looks looser than usual. The skin is sliding down her cheeks. When she reaches out to clutch my face, there’s a stump where her pointer finger should be. Something tells me that she’s getting weaker. She’s breathing slower. Her chest heaves with effort.

“You will be,” she exhales sharply, “a terrible mother.”

“And you’re the mother of the year?” I shoot back, shoving her off me. She stumbles backward, tripping over the muddied hem of her skirt.

“I never got to be one. She killed my boy.”

“Who, Adelaide?” I’m terrified, but the part of me that wants to match up the timeline of Beatrix’s story wins.

“She ruined my life.”

“There are some people who say you ruined hers.”

It’s the wrong thing to say. Beatrix lurches forward and grabs my chin.

“I could never hurt a mother. Your babies are the only thing that’s saving you.” She rakes her remaining fingers down my cheek, raising welts parallel to my nose. I gag at her rotten scent.

“If she never came here, Martin and I could have raised our child together. Do you know what I named him?” she asks. Again, the curiosity gets the best of me.

I wait for her to tell me.

“Joseph,” she says, something different in her voice. It’s warmer, loving almost. A chill runs down my spine. I scream, but Beatrix clamps her rotten hand over my mouth.

“He was beautiful, even if he was born dead. He was born the day Adelaide arrived. Of course, Martin wasn’t there. I was alone, bloody, and exhausted. He wasn’t breathing.”

A pang of sympathy cuts through the waves of terror wracking my body. “I’m so sorry,” I whisper through her clenched fingers. Her flesh is salty and cold. I gag again.

“You don’t know how lucky you are,” she says harshly. “You’re taking everything for granted. You don’t deserve them, any of them.”

I try to ignore her, but momentarily, I fear she’s right.
