The Legacy, Chapter 3: Echoes

... her ‘Miss Elizabeth’ again. Her love for her husband didn’t diminish in the least, which was something she’d been concerned about. If anything, because she was happier and less lonely her love for Robert increased, and her long-repressed resentment of his frequent extended absences seemed to fade away. And that may have been the other thing that Robert noticed, that she was happier, and unquestionably more passionate in the bedroom than she had been recently…which was saying something! Their lives and their love grew and bloomed, and a little over two years after the birth of Robby she was pregnant again. This time she and Henry had been more careful – he’d actually been quite surprised and delighted to discover that they now made condoms in a “Magnum” size, which fit him more easily – and as a result he was much less concerned about the parentage of this child as her due date approached.

Robert had been surprised initially, when she’d nursed Robby, at the complete comfort and ease she’d shown when Henry was around at feeding times; exposing her breasts and feeding her infant son in front of the older man had seemed to cause her no embarrassment or discomfort of any kind. The matter-of-fact way in which Henry had accepted it, having been around his own three sons while they were nursing, eased Robert’s mind – but then, the older man had always seemed to show a certain degree of equanimity about most things that might embarrass or offend other folks! The three adults got along famously, as a family does, all three taking responsibility for the two young siblings.
