I don't own The Secret Garden
Chapter One
Lily was dying right before Archibald's eyes. Her face had never been paler. The breaths she took were short and choppy. The light in her eyes was barley there. Her pink lips were turning blue, along with the top of her nails.
"Archie," Lily whispered, her eyes opening a crack.
"My dear," Archibald replied, "What do you need, dear?"
"I need you to promise me that you'll take good care of the twins. Please, darling." Lily started another coughing fit. Archibald held his wife close to him.
Archibald felt confused. He knew that Lily was going to die. Somewhere deep inside of him told him so. But why was it happening so fast? Archibald thought that he had at least a few more days with her.
"I will, Lily. I'll take care of them," Archibald promised. He laid Lily down and kissed her forehead.
"Bring them to me?" Lily begged.
Her husband rang the bell for Mrs. Medlock, who had been just a maid than. Miss Medlock and another maid each carried a baby to Lily. Lily laid both on top of her. She kissed their little heads. For a moment, the couple just watched their children sleep.
"I love you, Mary. I love you, Colin," Lily murmured. She looked up at Archibald. "These sweet little souls..."
"You'll be such a good mother, Lily." Archibald was smiling.
"You promised Archie..."
Lily's eyes flickered for a second. But closed. One more breath sucked the rest of the life out of her. Archibald froze. He couldn't believe that it was true. His Lily was dead.
Lilias Abbot Craven was dead.
