A Mother's Love – Robin
Robert of Locksley, future earl of Huntingdon. My firstborn. My Robin.
Fate has decreed he be my only child as well. I have traded my life for his. Not by choice, and not without regret.
Downy brown hair, solemn blue eyes. As if he already senses his pending loss. A more beautiful child I have never seen. Of course, I'm his mother and bound to think so.
I can no longer fight the darkness. I kiss my baby and release him to his father. I close my eyes, a tear and my breath slipping from me at the same time.
