Our baby was so tiny, yet so adorable. I'd never seen anything like him, I was in love all over again. I knew William was too, but he couldn't show it. His uncle had just passed today, I was sad as well. I hated the fact that our baby was born the day his uncle was attacked. William was angry, and I knew they were planning something foul for those boys. Will assured me they was just going to ride the boys into jail, but I was suspicious. I felt like he was lying to me. I told him he'd better not partake in killing them boys if that's what they were planning. I don't think I could live with a murderer.

"William, just promise me that you aren't gonna kill them boys." I begged.

"Cassandra, you know i can't promise you anything. I gotta do what my pa says. Besides them boys, as you call em, are three grown ass men who killed my uncle. You reap what you sow."

"You can't be serious, William!"

"Cassandra! It's no longer open for discussion! I will do what I have to do." Will had never yelled at me like that before. It was a roaring kind of yell. We had been leaving Coleman with Will's mother so that I could rest for awhile.

"William..."

"Listen Cassandra, you know that I love you, but I won't go back on my family. I will do what has to be done."

"We're married, William, I am your family now. Me and our son, Coleman. The child you've barely acknowledged since he's been born! I'm sorry that I had him the same day Ellison was killed, it's not like I could just hold him in for you, Mr Gunslinger!"

"You just need to stop and shut up while you're ahead!"

"You know what, Cap, you think you can just talk to me like a dog because we're married? That doesn't mean I can't leave you still. Don't bother coming home."

"Good! I hope you do leave, bitch!" He yelled as he stormed out of the house and slammed the door behind him.

I swung it back open and yelled "You're a real man aren't ya Hatfield!" Then I slammed it again.

I sat down and began to cry, I couldn't believe that William and I had got into it like that. The things he said to me were just horrible. The worst part is he doesn't acknowledge our son then says he hopes I leave and called me a bitch. I had no friends to turn to either. I heard today that Roseanna had gone into labor, so I couldn't go to her. My brother was there with her, to help deliver the baby. My father had to leave on business, back to New York because one of his mills caught fire and he had to straighten everything out. I had nobody, not even my husband, my best friend. I ended up falling asleep there in the rocking chair.

*~*Caps POV*~*

The deed had been done, and the murderers brought to justice. I had just made my first kill, hopefully my last. I felt strange, killing someone, seeing those men being bullet riddled, it would haunt me. It didn't matter that I hated them, it would still haunt me. At the same time, I liked the power.

We got back to my father's house and I went in to see my son. I felt horrible for not paying attention to him, he was so tiny and beautiful. He looked a lot like his beautiful mother. His mother, she wis probably hating my guts right now. I should never have blown up on her like that, the woman I love and the mother of my son. She gave me the gift of life, and that's how I had to repay her. She loved me and accepted me for who I am, my creepy eye and all. She didn't think it was creepy though, she thought it made me look tough. She thought everything about me was great, and i hurt her like that. What a great husband, huh?

"Hey, ma?" I yelled.

"Yes, son?"

"Can you keep Coleman one more night? I was awful to Cassie today, and I think I just need to make it up to her tonight."

"Why yes of course, son. I'd love to, but remember you two can't be romantic yet for awhile. You better not hurt that girl, either. She's the best girl you'll ever find."

"I know, Ma, thank you. I love ya." I then kissed my son and told him I loved him too and handed him to my mother.

I quickly raced off to mine and Cassandra's home. I couldn't wait to see her and apologize and beg her for her forgiveness. I'd do anything for that woman. I would kiss the very ground she walked on. When I rode up the trail to our cabin, I could see that there was no light in the house. It worried me, because Cassie is usually up makin dinner right now or bathing. There would have been at least one candle lit in the house. I grabbed my rifle and ventured in slowly.

"Cassie?" I whispered, there was nothing. "Cassie!" This time I yelled, I didn't care, it wasn't like my Cassie to have all the lights out and shit.

"Hmm..." I heard her moan. Was she asleep?

"Cassandra! Answer me!"

"What!"

"I called out to ya three times. Where are ya?" I asked and then suddenly tripped over something.

"Right here." She laughed. I had tripped over her leg.

"Smart ass." I then saw her light up one of the Kerosene lamps. "Why was you sittin in the dark for, doll?"

"I fell asleep, and you're not allowed to come back here and start acting all nice after you just told me that you wouldn't care if I left. As a matter of fact, you told me you wanted me to leave!"

"Babygirl, I'm so sorry, please forgive me. I love you so much. I will do anything, I swear. I'll kiss your feet, if that's what you want."

"I don't know, William, you hurt me."

"I'll do that thing you always wanted me to do when we made love, when you get better." She had always wanted me to do this thing that just sounded so weird, but she said her friend sent her a sex book from New York. Let's just say, she wanted me to kiss on her down there. I always said no.

"You promise you'll do next time?"

"Yes, as much as I'm gonna hate it, I'll do it." I really was dreading it because to be honest, I was afraid to try new stuff in the bedroom. Funny, I know.

"You won't hate it, William! I promise! My friend said it was amazing. You know how good it feels when you're doing it regular, well it's ten times better."

"We never do it regular since you got that there book."

"If you don't like it, I'm sure there are plenty of men that would."

"No, dollface, I love it, I do. I couldn't imagine being with anyone else babe. I'm so sorry I said those mean things to you earlier. I never want you to leave me. I love you."

"I love you, too. Where's my son? You were supposed to bring him home with you."

"Ma is keepin him another night because I wanted to make up with you for earlier."

"What'd you do to them boys?"

"We-well...we killed em baby."

"I knew it! I knew you would."

"Please don't leave me, please, I'm sorry!"

"Cap, I love you, so I'm not going to leave you, but I am mad at you."

"Please, don't be mad, doll. You ain't kissed me all day. I love your kisses."

"You don't deserve them." She was sitting on the bed now, with her arms crossed over her chest like a little kid. I had to admit, it was adorable. I went over to her and got down eye level to her.

"Baby, I love you."

"I love you too. Now kiss me, my loving man." I was kissing her passionately, it was hard not to just undress her and fuck her brains out right now. This six weeks was sure gonna be a long one.

Wow that was pretty awesome. I admit though, I'd probably be turned on if Boyd Holbrook blew up on me. It's pretty damn hot when sexy men are angry. :-)
