Crying with my soul

Rhythm would be the first to come and she would be enveloped in her sisters hug as she came forward and smothered her. She returned the greeting every bit as enthusiastically, she had missed her sister dearly. “And I you, Rhythm! But i'm sure you'll be happy to know that Shai took everything well, and agreed to a shared custody with our daughter, we'll all see Shaye again soon” she promised, which would be the closest she would admit then that Shaye had totally stolen her heart, her perfect little daughter - she also knew that Rhythm would be delighted to hear that she would see Shaye again.

Rhythm would not be the only one to come, Bass would arrive too, stopping a distance away and staying there, coming no further. It wouldn't even be Shai, it would be Bass in the end that broke her heart, but even as she felt it crumble in her chest she would find anger, as his eyes accused her she would accuse him back. “I'm glad to see you missed me too, Bass, its not like i've just come back from one of the hardest journey i've ever been on and waited every day to see you and Rhythm again.” she accused, but she could guess why he was upset with her. “You had Rhythm, and you know I didn't time this on purpose, I would have loved every minute of being there for you – just like I've been there for you ever other time you have ever needed my help or support, well this time this was something I had to do Bass, I need you to understand that – I would have been broken if I hadn't gone, I wouldn't have been capable of being there for you if I had stayed anyway” she turned away then, unable to say anymore. Bass had not been there for a lot of her pregnancy, he hadn't see how dark she had gotten, how close she was to breaking and how she did not want to keep the children from the start – through she had decided in the end that she could not live without Shaye, after her brothers had been buried, after Shaye had opened her eyes and looked at her for the first time – how could she do anything else?
