Elijah's eyes reddened, and Elliot warmly hugged him again, comforting, "We're so sorry for leaving you all alone these years. But you've got to believe in Mommy, don't ever resent her, okay?

She went through so much to bring us into this world. She loves us more than anything; if she had known about you, she would have never let you go."
