Rosaline nodded slowly, her mind diving back to the time. She shifted her position, moving so she was facing the other girl, cross-legged, her head resting sideways against the stones. "It is a feeling like no other," she told Alice. "There are mood swings, unusual cravings for food. A seemingly constant need to use the bathroom and painful sometimes when the child kicks inside you." She paused to lick her lips and try to add some moisture into her now dry mouth. A lump had formed in her throat, as it always did when she spoke of her son. "But there is nothing like the knowledge of life inside of you. Unconditional love for this tiny person you don't even know yet, and yet you know them so intimately already."

Alice followed her example and adjusted her position so that they sat face to face, her golden eyes wide and so very curious. The way she descriped the experience was amazing and it was just the thing that would have brought tears to her eyes if that were possible. She wondered if she would ever get a chance to experience that miracle. Laying her hand upon her flat stomach, something told her that she may never get that chance. She was too different. Her bottom lip trembled.

Rosaline followed suit and rested her hand on her belly, where her womb would be, where the child she'd once carried had been inside of her. "But even as it is a miracle, a wonder to have this life inside of you," she started, her voice beginning to shake with emotion. "The Gods can take it away just as easily." Her gaze turned to the ground, her hands on her stomach, Alice's hands holding her flat belly. She seemed strong enough to bear a child; stronger than she had been. "My child never lived. He was a sick child and passed a few days after his birth."

"I'm so sorry.." Alice whispered, not knowing what else to say. She had never experienced such a loss before so she didn't know how it may feel to Rosaline. She tossed her book to the side and wrapped her arms around her knees to rest her chin upon them.

Rosaline shook her head quickly to clear her mind of the thoughts. She stood slowly and retrieved the book, smoothing out its pages and wiping it clean of dirt. Her eyes still sparkled with tears, but the shake in her voice and the lump in her throat had gone. "My son will remain close to me, if only in my heart and not here by my side," she said simply. "And some day I shall have another child."

Alice nodded her head in understanding. Of course Rosaline would have another child. She would have a couple and all very beautiful from what she could see. "Is that why you are attracted to young Mr. Tait?" She asked curiously. There was an appeal to that boy, he could be rude and so very sarcastic but he was one hell of a father. It was easier talking about her than to continue to discuss something that may never happen. She and Jasper still weren't on the same page even if it were possible.

Rosaline chuckled softly at the question. "That is one of the reasons, yes," she answered. There was also that odd pull she'd felt towards him since coming to the island. He had been the first person she'd seen, and she instantly found herself trying to draw near to him again since then. "He has this... way about him. I can't explain it," she added after some length. "But enough of me. Who is the lucky man who got with you?"

Alice couldn't see what this odd pull was that attracted her to this boy but she didn't need to, everyone was different when it came to what attracted them the most. Christian Tait was something else but there could also be something very special about him as well. She pulled one knee to her chest, her back straightening ever so slightly when she was asked about her lucky man. "The most handsome man you'll ever see..Jasper Swift.." She purred. "And he is all mine.."

Rosaline couldn't help but chuckle at the other girl's display of affection for the man, Jasper. "Not to be rude, but I wouldn't really know. I've yet to see him around," she said, a small smile turning up her lips and a laugh in her eye. "I am happy for you, my friend. You've found something obviously special." Her mind drifted a little, to that place where thoughts of fantasy and reality overlapped. She wondered if she would ever have something like Alice and Jasper had with someone of her own.

"It's not rude." Alice replied with a shake of her head as a large grin stretched across her small pixie-like face. "You should meet him sometime, he is truly amazing." He was the type of man that even after fifty-five years of marriage he still had her breathless. It still felt like they were newly weds and would be like that for many more years to come. Her gaze drifted down to the large beautiful ring on her finger. "Thank you. I'm happy too.."

Rosaline couldn't help but grin along with this other girl, and she found a small laugh coming from herself. "Well, then," she responded. "Some day I shall meet him, then. Does he go to school here?" If that was the case maybe she'd seen him around already and just hadn't realized it. But then again, the school was rather large and it was entirely possible that she hadn't seen him.
Her eyes followed Alice's down to a ring and Rosaline could only grin more. "You're married?"

"Jasper doesn't go to school here. He is a private investigator, he co-owns the Moonlight Agency with his friend Aidan Kinney." Alice replied, lifting her gaze back to the girl next to her and holding out her hand to show off the rock on her finger. "We've been married for a few months now." Try about fifty-five years. Alice had a role to play, physically she looked little more than nineteen.

One of Rosaline's slender brows snaked up on her forehead. "How old is he, Miss Alice...er Mrs. Alice, to be a private investigator?" she asked her new friend. It seemed to her, he was older than she'd let on. But that couldn't be. She didn't seem like a foolish girl to get involved, get married to, someone far older than she. But the ring and the rock drew her thoughts from that. "It's stunning!" That was all she could think to say when she saw it.

One hundred and fifty-four Alice thought. "He is only a year older than myself, twenty.." She replied with a small shrug of her shoulders and large grin on her pixie-like face. She loved the way the younger girl was oogled by the rock on her finger. It's a good distraction. "I know, right? Stunning can't even begin to describe it in my opinion."

"Only twenty and he can afford this?!" Rosaline was perhaps more shocked than she'd been moments before. Alice would definitely be living well with this Jasper fellow. She leaned sideways against the stones, her eyes closing with a small smile on her face. "My marriage had been prearranged. The man I had a son with was of my father's choosing. I'd respected that I wanted a child, but we never truly found love as you've found it."

"Jasper is a highly intelligent and successful young man. He can afford a lot more than just this.." Alice nodded with a grin that stretched from ear to ear. She didn't mean to brag but once she got started on the topic of Jasper she had a hard time with stopping. She had been very lucky when he had been planned for her future. "Don't you worry Miss Levarette, you'll find love someday. A true love.."
