Penelope had started crying again after Scarlett got there. She just hugged Penny tight, rubbing her back because she didn't even know what to do.

"It's ok, honey."

Penelope just sobbed in response.

Scarlett could tell something else was wrong. Sure, everything that had happened was causing Penelope to be this upset, but Scarlett could just feel it.

"Penny, what happened? I can tell something else is bothering you. Can you tell me, please?" Scarlett pleased, feeling the woman's sobs wracking her body.

"It was my fault. Maybe that's what I get."

"What was your fault, baby?"

Penelope sobbed, "My baby died."

Scarlett let go of Penelope so she could see her, "Penny, look at me. That wasn't your fault. It happens and it was nothing you did that caused it."
