Chapter Seven

Her eyes were so swollen from crying that she could hardly open them, and when she did, it was as if she was looking through a haze, for everything was out of focus.

Seeing Ferghus laying upon that table had ripped her open with a turbulent grief. Her loving husband and best companion was gone, and she was all alone. Nay, that was not entirely true.

When she arrived home, escorted kindly by Ferghus’s mother and father, she saw a pile of unfolded garments near the door, as if they had been thrown inside haphazardly and simply left there. She knew them to be Robert’s garments. Not only were they the largest tunics and trousers she had ever seen, she recognized the red and blue plaid she had gifted him two years ago, when she had still held out hope for a union with him. He had accepted the tunic, but not her love.

Ferghus’s easy manner and tender touch had made it easy to drown her love for Robert beneath a new layer of emotions for another man. She had loved Ferghus with all of her heart, truly she had. But he was gone now, and all she had was an unborn babe who would never know his father and a pile of Robert’s clothing in her home.

Where was Robert? Her nerves were already shot, but the thought of him expecting to move in with her made her stomach tremble with trepidation. If he thought she needed his charity or his false affections, he was a greater arse than she thought. Aye, she would welcome the company for a night or so, but he had brought an entire pile of garments with him, including his helm, extra boots, and a pile of weapons she was just now noticing by the bed… her bed. He meant to stay and she would need to tell him otherwise. He could not live here. Why would he even think to do so? She could move in with his mother and father where Robert was living as well, and that would be awkward but acceptable. But them living together, alone? Mayhap she was jumping to conclusions. She simply needed to wait to speak with him.

She wanted to holler at the gods for her torment, but she had wailed so hard and so long in the hall that she feared she had no more voice left in her and for now, she had no more tears. What she needed was sleep. Sleep would put her out of her misery. Unclasping her cloak from around her neck, she carefully placed it on a bench near the door and walked over to the bed, sliding her sodden leather slippers off her aching feet. This babe was large and ready to come any day. The thought of birthing it alone was a nightmare, and suddenly another tear trickled down her cheek. She supposed she was not done with tears, after all.

Just as she got comfortable on the bed, there was a soft rapping on the door.
