Hey, It's me again just in case you're wondering I changed the names of the chapters.

I don't know about you but I get sick and tired of titles being 'Ch 2'

So here's ch 12

Ch 12 (2 months later)

Things had been going great for Anita and William, Lillian was due to leave any day and William was supposedly to go on more raids. Anita in the mean time was making a new apron for Lillian. Lillian was playing in front of the fireplace with her new rag doll she had received for her birthday last week. Anita gazed out the window at the snow falling gently on the ground. It was near Christmas time everyone was visiting each other. People had begun to warm up to Anita after they had realized how sweet of a person she was. William was due back any day, now and Anita would have wonderful news for him. The doorknob turned and William stepped in.

" You're back! " Anita exclaimed putting down the unfinished apron.

William smiled and gave her a much-needed embrace. He backed away slightly after feeling a slightly larger waist. He looked at her with a puzzled face. She placed a hand on her stomach giving it away. He didn't say anything but gave her another hug.

" We'll discuss this later." He whispered in her ear.

She nodded and spoke to Lillian.

" Lillian, Look who's here!" she exclaimed.

" Uncle Will!" Lillian cried running to William.

She had called him Uncle Will after she had gotten to know him better. Now she looked forward to his homecoming for days now. He smiled down at her and picked her up.

" Oh Anita, This is from Bordon." He frowned handing her a slip of paper.

She accepted it nervously and went to the window to read it.

Anita,

I 'm wanted to apologize for ruining your reputation outside like that.

It's taken me two months to say this and I'm sorry. I don't think I can ever show my face to you and be that person you once knew. I've moved on, I am now currently courting a Miss Catherine Aubrey. I believe Marriage is in our plans for the future. No doubt you'll be at the wedding. I hope your somewhat satisfied with your arrangement, you get to be with the one you love.

Goodbye Anita,

Captain James Bordon.

Anita was near tears by now. How could he be so cruel? She crumpled the letter and tossed it into the flames. William was a bit shocked at her reaction, but said nothing as he set Lillian down. She finally turned to face him as she regained her composure.

" Are you going to be all right?" he asked approaching her.

" I hope he burns in h-" he covered her mouth and pointed at Lillian who was playing with her doll. Anita rolled her eyes at him and shoved his hand away. She picked up her work and moved to the wardrobe where the folded clothes were kept. William followed her.

" Anita what did he say?" William asked not really wanting to know what had made her so upset.

" He's currently courting Miss Catherine Aubrey." Anita said.

William burst out laughing. Anita glared at him.

" What's so funny!" She demanded

" Bordon can't lie very well can he? Catherine Aubrey's his cousin!" William said.

Anita sighed in frustration and stomped her foot and slammed the wardrobe doors shut. She looked out the window at the hills in the distance. William stepped up behind hr and placed his hand on her stomach.

" Who do you think the child will look like?" She asked leaning her head against his shoulder.

" Possibly me, my father's side of the family usually has the strongest characteristics in the children." William said. His grip on her got stronger.

" You really don't like your father do you?" She asked.

" He ruined the family name, I'm glad he's dead."

Anita covered his hand with her own.

" You know I really didn't think we would ever get along." She said turning around to face him.

" Did you ever think we could fall in love?" He asked.

" No, did you."

" Perhaps." He smiled.

They leaned towards each other and kissed.

"M'lady did you w-" Ebony stopped and turned around upon walking in on them.

Anita sighed and they broke away. William held her close still and looked at her.

" That was interesting."

Anita nodded and the two of them went to check on Lillian.

Ebony was in the corner looking down at her sewing and wouldn't look up. She was still rather pink with embarrassment. Anita sat down in a chair and watched Lillian play with her doll.

" Ana, can we go play outside?" Lillian asked.

" Not right now maybe when the weather warms up a bit."

Suddenly a knock sounded on the door. Ebony rose to open it, a young woman stood in the doorway with a young child.

" Is Colonel Tavington here?" she asked.

" Who are you?" Anita asked

" Oh sorry, my name is Lydia, Lydia Tavington."

Who is Lydia and what ties does she have to the colonel?
