"But you're his mate". I frowned.

"I am". She smiled her hand reaching for his. "But things were very different back then and we simply couldn't be together because there were rules".

"But you had mom". I spoke.

"We met in secret". She grinned as if remembering the time, they spent together. "It was very difficult for us to stay apart so we had secret meetings, secret hideouts. We made it work for a period of time".

in the push chair and your grampa. I was pregnant with your aunt Claire at the time".

"So, he never knew you were pregnant?". I asked.

She shook her head. "I didn't find out until a few weeks after he left. I had no way to contact him,

I didn't know where they were. It was a very tough time for me".

"What happened when you saw him?". I asked.

"Nothing". She gave me a small smile, a sad smile. "It had been years; we both had moved on,

and he was only in town for an engagement".
