She eyed her grave quietly.
It was still fresh, a few weeks old.
She sat down underneath a tree.
She sighed deeply.
She rubbed her cold arms.
"I'm so sorry."
She muttered.
"For everything, really."
She continued.
"For being a bad cousin,
For not paying enough attention,
For not being there.
I'm sorry."
She apologized.
This time, a voice was added.
"No, I'm sorry."
Rose turned.
She stared in shock.
"I really am sorry.
I'm an a$$hole,
I pushed her too far.
I killed my own child."
He confessed, tears in his green eyes.
Rose shook her head.
"Do you know how I knew?"
He didn't reply.
"Next to the suicide letters,
There it was,
A pregnancy test.
Actually, there were five."
Rose mumbled.
He still didn't reply.
So she continued.
"And they were all positive."
