She was madly in love with him. She loved everything about him. His smile, his hair, his eyes, his laugh.
Eponine was daydreaming at the kitchen table, when a thought came to her. Even if she didn't tell Marius the baby was his, He would find out when she gave birth, because the baby was sure to have some of his beautiful features.
Ever since Marius looked after Eponine 3 nights ago, She was feeling much better. Cosette had congratulated her about her pregnancy, But Eponine was constantly annoyed at Cosette, at her stupidly high voice, at her life she got to live with Marius, at her carefree and wonderfull life, so she just replied with a bitter thanks.
Eponine and Marius were the closest they have ever been. He would kiss her on the cheek and rub her stomach, which made Eponine smile, but it made her smile even more when she saw Cosette looking at her with eyes full of jealousy.
She could tell that things were a bit akward between Marius and Cosette. They had a heated row the other night. Eponine didn't know what it was about but she heard the words "Baby" and "love". Cosette had stormed out, and Marius went looking for Eponine.
One night when Marius and Eponine were having dinner alone- Cosette was still in a mood somewhere- When Marius asked Eponine the question she had been dreading answering.
" `ponine, who is the father of your child?" She looked at his gorgeous features, his eyes full of questions.
She took a deep breathe, and spoke
" Marius, do you remember after we won the barricades? How the day after, I was in your bed?" She looked up at his face as he realized what Eponine was saying.
Suddenly fear waved through Eponine's body. A fear that Marius wouldn't want her or their baby.
" Are you saying the baby is mine, Eponine?" His tone was now very serious and Eponine was afraid to answer in case she started crying.
Sweat now beaded her hands and she rubbed them on the clothes Marius had given her to wear. She looked up at him and nodded.
" Yes. This baby is yours. But i beg you, Please don't leave me alone in this." She closed her eyes as she continued to speak.
" I love you Marius. I have for a very long time. I know your with Cosette now, but every time I see you two together, a part of me dies. And i want more than anything for you to love me, the way I love you, otherwise I won't be able to live with myself. And I need you. I can't do this by myself."
After her speech, Eponine opened her eyes, Only to be filled with disappointment.
She was to busy expressing her feelings she didn't even notice that Marius had fainted.
