Had she really looked at him through her rant, her very, very angry rant, she would have seen he regretted the question, but she had really wanted her answer to sink in, to mean something and for him to know she meant what she said. This baby was very much wanted and very loved already and she would not let anyone, not even Sebastian, mar the fact with such negativity.

Finally, as she set her gaze on him purposefully, she was able to see the panic in his features. Elsie was not normally one to come on so strong, but she needed him to see where she was and what this meant to her. "Good." She said finally, after watching him for another minute. The regret was very clear and she'd obviously made her point. "I would hate to do this without you," She sighed as both her expression and her tone softened. She was prepared to do this on her own, but really would rather not. Lucinda had been graced with two babies and though Adella had not yet, she could sense her sister was excited. Elsie needed some help. This was her mother's first grandchild as well, something had to give, everybody would come around eventually, right?
