Lysander smiled back and walked over to his wife. ”What did you two talk about?” he asked.

”Just about me being a dumbass.” Henry answered for her, more relaxed around him again. ”Chill out, Ly.”

She smiled with a small laugh

”So nothing new, then.” Lysander smiled at hearing her laugh. ”Did you at least tell her about…”

”Yeah, change of plans on that.” Henry quickly interrupted. ”It’s actually not going to happen, Ly. I’ve got something I need to tell you in private.”

Betty closed her eyes with a sigh

Lysander raised a brow but nodded at Henry. ”Right now or later?”

”Probably best to get this over with.” Henry suggested. ”But you can't overreact after.”

" you know he's going to" Betty mumbled

Henry smirked a little as both of them caught her statement.

”When do I overreact?” Lysander asked indignantly.

”More than you admit.” Henry replied, rolling his eyes briefly. ”Come on. We’ll be back in a minute, Bets.”

She nodded with a small smile

Lysander quickly kissed her cheek before following Henry out of the room.

She sighed sitting down

”Is everything alright?” Evan asked, walking over to her with a couple of waters.

She nodded " yeah I'm alright" she said

Evan nodded. ”Ok. May I sit with you?” he asked, holding one of water’s to her.

She nodded taking the water and gently tried to listen to the boys conversation but they were too far

Evan smiled a little at her as he sat next to her.

"I'll be right back" she said she walked off towards the entrance of the room they had entered and she quietly open the door sticking her head in

”Are you serious?” Lysander asked in shock, keeping his voice down.

”Yeah.” Henry sighed. ”I guess I’m lucky enough that she’s letting me stay as close to her as I am.”

She listened carefully and quietly

“I mean, I sort of suspected something like that had happened considering her reaction when he snuck into the hospital when Laura-Beth was born but…” Lysander muttered.

”Hey. Neither of us knew what their relationship was like before today.” Henry reminded him. ”I can't marry her but I’m happy that I get to be part of her and Asher’s lives.”

" hey" she said

”Hey, Bets.” Henry sighed, not completely surprised by her presence. ”How much did you hear?” he asked.

"first thing I heard was are you serious?" She said

Henry nodded in relief. He had been hoping she didn't hear him tell Lysander the painful part.

”Betty?” Lysander looked at her. He wasn't surprised by what Henry told him but it still hurt him to know for certain that his wife had been through such trauma.

"Hm?" She asked looking up at him

“I… I am so sorry.” he managed to say softly. He didn't really know what else to say at the moment, but he felt like he needed to say something.
