" we're turning you human. . .ethier way I lose you just this way not everyone else will too" she said

He hugged her again and kissed her cheek. ”You won't lose me.” he promised. ”One way or another, you won't lose me.”

Henry landed in the front yard with a handful of the supplies and went inside to grab the rags.

She shook her head " you can't promise me that" she said

“Then let me show you how much I love you.” he said, picking up the notebook and turning to a blank page.

Betty looked at him "What do you mean?" She asked

He pointed out the rough draft of his will on the previous page, written in French. ”At this moment, I know how I feel about you and that I am willing to do anything for you. As my wife, you are entitled to a minimum of half of everything I own… which I’ll admit is already quite a lot.” he added, almost blushing.

She smiled softly kissing his cheek

He smiled at the kiss, glad she seemed to understand but he wasn't finished yet. ”However, in light of what you just told me, I’m going to make a quick edit that gives you and the kids at least 75% of everything. I’ll have Henry and Evan notarise it so if you're right and I somehow don't love you the way I do now, as a human, I won't be able to reverse or undo this… Even if we go through a divorce… As impossible as I think that is.” he explained his plan to her.

She nodded closing her eyes

He held her close and kissed her forehead before he started writing what he promised.

" when Henry gets the things I'll start okay?" She asked." Then dad will bring the kids over"

”Ok.” Lysander agreed softly, giving her another hug.

Evan gently knocked on the bedroom door.

She got up walking to the door opening it

Evan smiled faintly, feeling a little awkward as if he was interrupting something. ”I, uh, I just wanted to let you know that Henry's back and that mom and dad should be here soon.”

She nodded resting her head on his chest

”Thanks, Evan.” Lysander sighed softly, a little nervous about what was going to happen. ”Hey, while you're up here… Can you look this over?” he asked as he lightly tapped the paper in front of him.

Evan nodded and started to make his way over to the bed. ”What is it?”

" okay not like I was using you for a towel and comfort" she said leaving the room and going downstairs

Lysander facepalmed himself. ”Betty, I’m sorry. I didn't mean he had to right now.” he called after her, trying to sit up a little more… thought he nearly strained his shoulder in the process.

Evan was frozen in place. ”I didn't even realize she was crying.” he whispered, a little shocked.

Henry had finally found the rags and was just heading upstairs when he saw her. ”Hey… What’s wrong?” he asked gently.

She shook her head hit tears rolling down her cheeks as she let out a sob that echoed throughout the house

Henry quickly put down everything he was carrying on the nearest table and wrapped his arms around her. ”What happened?” he asked softly.

Lysander and Evan flinched at the cry, knowing it was their fault, and Evan slowly headed after her.

Betty wrapped her arms under him gripping into his shoulders

Henry held her close and let her cry against him.

Her shoulders heaved and she closed her eyes

Henry wasn't as good at comforting others as Lysander was but he continued to hold her. ”It’s alright, Betty. It’ll be alright.” he whispered.

Evan stood at the top of the stairs watching the two siblings, unsure how to approach.

She stopped crying as she pulled away

Henry looked at her and gave her a soft smile. ”Feel any better?” he asked gently.

She nodded

”Good.” Henry smiled kindly. ”Do you want to talk about it?” he ventured to ask.

She shook her head
