Rose
"Ben!" I say, exasperated.
"Rose! What are you doing here?"
I don't answer him. I just go up to him, and kiss him.
"I love you." I say when I pull away. It's the first time I've said it to his face.
He looks at me, puzzled. "Then why won't you-"
"Marry you? It's not because I don't love you. It's because I wouldn't be able to give you as your wife."
"Which is?"
"Children. When I saved Finn, and went into a coma? I was so badly hurt, I became unable to have children."
"I would be a terrible father anyway."
"Don't say that! You deserve children!"
"Rose, you know it's true. My own father had a blatant favoritism of my sisters! And I killed my father Rose."
"I know but,"
"No. I said I want everything my sisters have but I don't want this. I want to spend my life with my wife, and just her! Marry me anyway Rose!"
This time, I nod yes.
