A/N: Okay, I got bored...but I also wanted to give you more than just that little chapter earlier. So here's another little chapter.
It was just one time. A one time stand. Just that one time... Who knew so much could happen? That only once could cause this? I, the wife of a prominent preacher, grand daughter of the Emminant Thropp. My children will rule this land after me. How could I have jeopardized my family's name and my offspring's inheritance like this?
But who could blame me? My husband was always away and never spent anytime with me. How many times was I in bed alone? It felt stranger to share a bed with my husband than sleeping alone. I needed the interaction; I needed not to be alone.
I knew I shouldn't have. But, oh, it felt so good!
And now, I'm pregnant—with his child. I could end it now and leave no evidence that it ever happened and leave it as my own dirty little secret.
Yet, why not keep the child? My fool of a husband would never notice the difference. I could easily pass the child off as his own. I'm sure he can't remember the last time we had sex; and maybe if he did, there is no doubt in his dense mind that I was unfaithful. Never has he questioned. Why should he start now?
