This is mostly just a filler chapter, that I wrote at, like, one in the morning because I couldn't sleep. But I wanted to write something for Mother's Day and this kind of popped into my head. So I apologize if this is bad.
I don't own Hamilton.
Chapter Fourteen
Eliza had to sprint into order to reach Alexander's mother in time. She tapped her mother-in-law on the back. Rachel turned around. She looked surprised to see Eliza.
"Hello, ma'am," Eliza greeted, bobbing her head a bit.
Rachel grinned at her. "Eliza?"
"How do you know me?"
The older woman's eyes filled with tears. "You were the light of my Alexander's life! You took that bullet for him! Of course, he shouldn't of been dueling in the first place, but…"
Eliza embraced her mother-in-law, hugging her as tight as she could. Rachel cupped her hands in Eliza's face. She studied the girl.
"Mrs…" she started to say.
"Call me Rachel, love. Thank you, my dear girl," Rachel whispered to her, "You've done so much for me. For him. And you've been so brave through it all." Her tone went dark, "With the Reynold's Pamphlet and losing your son. Because of my own idiot son!"
But Eliza was already shaking her head. "It's all right, Rachel. All in the past."
Rachel's eyes were filling with tears now. "Yes, but he was the reason you died in the first place. You could still be with your children if it weren't for him."
"That may be so, but I forgive him."
"Like you've had to so many times, dear. So many times."
I apoligize again.
Thanks for reading! Remember, I love reviews!
