I love Bash and Kenna together, and wish the show had taken their relationship in another direction. It sucks that they ended.

This is my take on how the scene where they break up, after he learns she's pregnant.


'I guess it's my own fault for giving my heart to another women who wants something I could never giver her' This is my thought after Delphine leaves me after dropping the bombshell about Kenna.

It's true I mean with Mary, while I had her love at one point, we both knew who she really wanted was Francis. He was the one she dreamt of, and eventually that need for him overwhelmed her feelings for me.

Then Kenna. Well, this one is definitely my fault, how could I let myself fall in love with a noble women who used to be my father's mistress. Who cared more about the riches I could've offer her, than the love that I could.

I shake my head to rid of these thought knowing they're just going to drive me crazy, and cause me more pain.

'I loved her. God I loved her so much' Again with these heart wrenching thoughts it's like I'm trying to break my own heart.

Then again even if I ignore my thought it wont change the fact that once my heart is broken by another women I loved, and despite how things started with Kenna I do love her. Our marriage became this amazing things I was lucky to be gifted with, and not that's gone.

Suddenly this burning anger fills me. Why? Why can't I be happy, why don't I deserve a women who treats me better than this? I loved her, I was the best husband to her that I could be, and she lies and tries to trick me like this.

With that thought I get up from the ground, and storm my way to my room. On the way there I pass a few people, and I get a little sense of amusement when I see them scurry away by the angry look on my face.

Finally, I reach my room and slam the door open with a bang. I can see Kenna by the bed folding my clothes, she had me bring them back to our room as she'd asked me to move back in, she jumps looking frightened by the bang before she relaxes when she sees it's me.

I don't give her time to say anything. I'm on her in seconds. "Are you pregnant with General Renaude's child, and don't lie to me?"

"How could you have possibly guessed I haven't told a soul?" Kenna ask shocked. Yeah I bet she is shocked I mean she told no one, not even me.

"Delphine she's a seer, she saw it. When I went to end things with her she said she understood since we had a child on the way. She thought I knew being the proud father and all." I spit out bitterly. I see Kenna flinch a little at my harsh tone, but I refuse to let myself feel bad about this.

After a few moments of silence, I have to ask, "How long have you known?" I don't know why maybe because some dumb par of me is hoping she didn't know when she got me into bed. It's only been a few days since we rekindled things.

I know that's not true. Her lover dies and she immediately gets me into bed again, and then happens to already be pregnant. No way.

Kenna at least looks ashamed before answering. "A few days ok." I give her a look; I can always tell when she's lying. Kenna sighs before answering again. "A few weeks ok."

"So that's why you got me into bed so quickly? Why you were suddenly so remorseful? You wanted me to believe the child was mine when you finally admitted you were pregnant." I take a deep breath to calm myself. I don't think I've ever felt so much anger before, so much sadness.

Kenna steps towards me and reaches her hands towards me as if to cup my check, but I push her away. I don't think I could stand her hands on me right now. "No Bash I wanted it to be yours. I wish more than anything that it was your child I was carrying."

"To say you from ruin. To save you from having a traitors child, a man who was hanged for trying to kill our King." I exclaim.

"Bash please don't abandon me I can't have this child alone." Kenna please. I look into her eyes, eyes that I once loved staring into, and I see they're filling with tears.

I sigh at her words. "If you had come to in honestly I might've considered it, but you lied to me and tried to trick me into believing another mans child was my own.

Kenna continues on with her pleading rant. "Because I saw no other option. Please claim this child you know what's it's like to be born a bastard, the shame and mockery-"

I interrupt her here. "NO. Stop using this child, or me to save yourself. God Kenna take ownership of your own actions. Listen to me very carefully, We are finished." I say.

Her eyes widen in surprised, and while I keep my face blank I know I'm a little surprised to. I knew I was hoping to end things with Kenna, but my love for her was so strong I was unsure if I would be able to really go through with it.

"Your actually leaving me? What'll happen to me now, to my child." Kenna ask in such a small voice. I've never heard her sound like that before so quiet, so small. Still so beautiful.

I shake my head a little, like I'm trying to remove those traitorous thoughts before I answer her. "I don't know Kenna that's really on you to figure out now. I'm done. I just cant do this with you anymore."

"This cant be it. I mean we love each other this cant be how we end." Kenna says more to herself than to me. She moves over to the table and then just sits there with this blank look on her face. She looks a little confused like she has no idea how we ended up here.

I take a seat across from her, because honestly I feel the same. We might not have had the best start, but I do believe we both loved each other, and I have no idea how we ended up like this either.

So, we do nothing but sit here for hours, both of us lost in our thoughts on our failed relationship, and the uncertainty that our future holds.


It's almost nighttime when Kenna finally speaks up. "I remember this couple from Scotland, the father sold wine or something they were sweet. I think they moved to Sweden maybe they'd want the baby, they could never have one of their own."

My head snaps towards her in surprise. "What are you talking about? Why wouldn't you keep your baby?" I ask. I mean just because I wont be in her like doesn't mean she cant be a good mom on her own.

Kenna actually laughs at that. "God you cant be serious. Look it's different for women. Our status is dependent on rather we have a man in our lives, and how much money he's worth. If I moved somewhere alone with no child my child would be a bastard, and they'd look at me like I'm just a whore. It's better this way I can't be a mother."

I don't know what to say to that, so I say nothing. My mind is going crazy though I mean I get where she's coming from, but I also think she's crazy for giving up her chance to be a mother.

Me and Kenna hadn't really talked about having our own child, but I always knew someday we would. I knew I wanted my own child one day, and I knew she did too. People assumed she was cold hearted and not warm and loving, but she could be to those who mattered to her.

I saw the warm and peaceful smile on her face when she would babysit little John. How she held him close, and smelled that sweet scent all babies have. How she had this longing look on her face when she saw some of the other mothers with their babies.

I remember wanting to talk to her about starting our own family, but then things went bad between us, and I never got the courage to do so.

For a moment I'm struck by the thought of what could be. What would've happened if I hadn't let a wedge be made between us. If I had talked to her about us having our own baby, and how it really could've been my child she carries within her.

'No God stop it Bash this is not your fault, you weren't the only one in this marriage who should be trying to fix things.' I think bitterly to myself why looking at Kenna.

I'm not saying it's all her fault. In some ways it's mine because there were times when didn't try to talk to her about our issues, or when I didn't fight for her when she left.

Then again why should I she's the one who wanted to leave because another man promised her money and jewels, and even after she learned he was an ass did she come back to me? No, she ended up with another man instead.

"What? Why are you looking at me like I just killed your favorite horse." Kenna ask when she catches me glaring at her.

"Nothing it's stupid. I know it's stupid to be blaming you like this is all your fault, but I mad because I cant help but with it was my child you carried. I love you Kenna and we were happy at one point-"

Kenna stands up suddenly interrupting anything I had to say. "Then why cant we be again. We haven't undone anything, were still married. No one even really knows that e separated so why not. Let's just get back together, and tell people it's your child no will know the truth."

I don't answer her. Mainly because I'm not sure what I'd say. I know a part of me wants to say yes to her, but the other part of me is to hurt and angered by her. I'm not sure which part of me would win.

Suddenly I feel her right by my side, grabbing my face in her hands and pulls our face close to each other. "Bash please I love you. Look I know I messed up, but I promise you nothing like this will ever happen again. Please say you'll forgive me." She pleads.

"I'm not ready to forgive you right now, and honestly I don't know if I'll ever be." I pause for a moment to take a shaky breath. God I don't understand why it's so hard to say this.

"One things I do know is that I don't trust you. I love you so much it hurts sometimes. So much that it makes what I feel for Mary pale in comparison, but how can I be with someone when I don't trust you and never will again?" I ask her sadly.

I don't know what compels me to do it, but before she can respond I lean forwards and I kiss her.

I kiss her deeply. With every fiver of love and passion I have. I kiss her like it's the last time I'm ever going to, because sadly it is.

Kenna she kisses me back with just as much passion as I give her. I can feel it though, the way she clings to me. I can feel that she knows this is it, that this is the end for us, and that just breaks my heart even more.

Finally, when the need to breath gets to be too much I pull back. Kenna tries to stop me but when I pull away I can see she's just as breathless as me, she's also already begun crying.

I cup face in my hands, using my thumb to wipe away her tears. "I want you to know something I love you Kenna. I'm always going to love you, and I wish more than anything I could trust you enough to take you make. I just cant. I cant risk my heart like that anymore." Again, I have to stop to take a few deep breaths before I break down. I can feel tears prickling my own eyes.

"I also want you to know you are a beautiful strong women. I know you feel your worth is dependent on the men in your life, but it's not. Al least not to me, not in the way that matters. You're a strong, loving, an amazing and loyal friend, and you need to learn to love yourself like I do. I hope you find happiness wherever you end up, and that you live a loving a fulfilling life. Just be happy ok you deserve it." With one final chaste kiss I get up, and walk out the door.

Every part of me wants to turn around and look at her face one more time, but I don't.


I don't know why I wrote this. I mean it's basically like the scene on the show, but I just felt like that scene should've had more. I knew they needed to end because she hurt him too much, but I wish they had a more peaceful break up.
