"We were seperated... its one of the reasons I came here... we kept it very quiet... small wedding- just our parents there.... but it didn;t work out... " He lowered his gaze, frowning a little before he glanced back up to her "She died Ais... she was bleeding too much and they couldn't stop it... she lost too much blood and her heart stopped..." It was still pretty painful for him, even if they hadn't gotten along by the end of it. She was still the mother of his child- the child that he actually knew was his now.
