Disclaimer: American Horror Story and its character belong to people who are far more creepy and sadistic then I ever hope to be..And I love them for it'

Author's Note: Because I think Vivien and Violet need to have a conversation after the end of Birth...they really really do.

When Vivien pulled away from her daughter she looked at her for what seemed like the first time in ages...in a lifetime. Maybe it had been. How long had it been? How could she not have noticed the signs? Her daughter had been drowning and she had not noticed. THEY had not noticed. They had been so caught up in their own drama their own lives that they hadn't noticed that their daughter...

"How long?" Vivien asked finally.

Violet smiled sadly at her mother, "Since before you went to the hospital. I didn't know it then but I was..."

"Dead."

"Yes."

"How?" Violet didn't say anything at first. Vivien led her daughter to a nearby bed and sat them both down, "Was it Tate?"

"No!" Violet said quickly before she realized how that sounded, she paused carefully and then continued, "He actually tried to save me." Violet paused and watched her mother carefully and then continued, "I know what he did to you, and I know he did a lot worse to other people, including people in this house but loves me."

"Violet."

"He loves me, mom he does." Violet began willing her mother to understand, "I stand by what I said to him; but I need you to understand that he was good to me. He tried to save my life. I was the one who took it."

"You killed yourself." Vivien said more then asked.

"Yes. This house, it preys on your weakness and it preyed on mine. I took some pills and Tate found me and tried to help but he couldn't and then..."

"Then what?"

"He hid my body so I wouldn't know I was dead."

"How did you find out?"

"I tried to leave the house. Or Dad tried to make me." Violet paused, "The school called and asked why I never showed up and well I tried to go to school."

"And Tate had to tell you why you can't go to school."

"Yes."

"Does your father know?"

"I told him when he went to pick you up today but I don't think he heard me. I don't think he's been hearing or seeing a lot of things. This house does funny things to you."

"We need to warn him."

"And we need to get dad and your babies out of this house while we still can."

Vivien looked at her daughter again for what felt like the first time and realized that she didn't know her at all; but it was ok. This time would be different. This time she would make things right with Violet.

She had an eternity to fix things.

She had an eternity to make things right.
