Here's the very last and very short chapter. Thank you to everyone who read this, I had a blast writting it. Also thank you for the sweets reviews.

She wished with all her heart that it was just a bad dream… A nightmare that she would wake up from. Yes, it was a nightmare and she was about to wake up… She waited… waited and waited but she never woke because it was not a nightmare, it was reality. He was gone.

She was sitting in her bed, in her room with nothing else than a sheet to cover herself and she was shivering from the cold. But she didn't care, she sat emotionless on her bed, trying to understand how he could be gone. They had made love again just a few hours ago. It's been an incredible few days, being together locked in her room, discovering each other bodies all over again each night... and day. When she woke up, she thought that just like every morning he would be holding her in his arms, waking her with his sweet kisses, that she would sighed contently, engulfed in the warmth of his body. Reality had stabbed her in the heart when she woke up and only found his shirt and a letter on his side of the bed. She was clenching both tightly against her chest as she stared blankly at the door of her room, imagining him coming in with breakfast. She kept on waiting, but he was gone.

His letter, she had read over and over again, memorizing every part of it. Every word made her heart ache a little more but she had to read it again.

My love,

You may think that I am a coward for leaving you without saying goodbye and you are right, I am a coward. It would have been too hard to say goodbye to you, you know I hate to see you cry. I just didn't want you to have the memory of me leaving, but the memory of our night together. The last few days have been the happiest of my life and each night I prayed the Spirits that we had created life together. Zedd explained that Confessors immediately knew when they were with child. I guess my prayers were unheard. I know that you have to save your line and it breaks my heart knowing that I failed you and knowing what you will have to do in order to get with child. I just want you to know that I love you, no matter the odds, I will always love you. You must hate me right now for leaving you, for not saying goodbye and for not being able to get you with child and it's alright, you can slap me when I return to you after I've saved the world from the Keeper. Because I'll come back to you Kahlan, one day or another, I'll come back to you.

Be safe my love,

Yours always and forever,

Richard.

She didn't even know if she was mad at him or not. If he had said goodbye she would have probably begged him to stay, crying uncontrollably and breaking his heart in the process. Now she just felt empty, like a part of her was missing, like all her strength was gone. She felt like waking up from the sweetest dream where she had spent time with the man she loved making love and enjoying each other's presence to find herself in the Underworld. What did she have left now? Cara and Zedd were probably gone too. All she had was a mate she hated, her duty and Sylvia who would help her as if she was her own daughter. Daughter. Daughter. It sounded weird in her mind. Daughter. She burst into tears as she rested her hand on her belly. She curled in a ball under her covers and cried. She held Richard's shirt tightly against her, he was gone. She would have to endure it all alone. Alone. The thought made her cry in pain. He was gone and he didn't know. He didn't know that they were going to have a daughter. She closed her eyes tightly, all she had to do now was to pray for his safety and for him to come back to her as soon as possible.

TO BE CONTINU-END? You all can hate me now, or leave a review, it's up to you!
