She gave a wan but genuine smile. "Thank you..." She then nodded in the general direction of her new abode, or rather, the rather crowded one that was the Blacke home. She would not trade it for the world, she thought, and then decided perhaps giving back the money given to her by the mysterious man was the best option. Things were much too cryptic and she wanted no part, she would make it without the riches of her familyor strangers.
"I know this may sound odd, but I like this simpler life better... I feel like I have purpose... I made my new family angry at first and I understand the part I played, but they have since shown me more warmth and welcome in the short time we have been together. I am very grateful to them all for allowing that grace." Her words were not the cheerful notes she normally sang, but rather tired sounding.
Her hand found her belly as it gave another cramp. "Besides, I do believe I am already being punished enough. I am not exactly sure why we wish to be mothers so bad if the sickness I get is like anyone else's." She gave a grimace.
