~ALISTAIR~ My gaze is lost on Roman's still form on the hospital bed. His eyes are closed appearing to be so peaceful but I know he is battling pain inwardly. Looking at him laying there like that breaks my heart. It ignites a pain inside me, one that I know of too well. This is my boy. My only child who I've had to go through so much pain for. So much tribulation even to this point. How is a mother supposed to feel when they have been forced to live the way I have lived with him? He thinks I neglect him intentionally, that I don't care about him at all but he is the only person in the whole world who would make me sacrifice my own life for him. But how can I? My fate was long sealed the moment he was conceived inside me. I was never meant to have him. It is the one mistake that got us
