It wasn't until I was on my deathbed that I found out James had gotten a vasectomy before we even got married. He said apologetically, "I know you've always wanted a child of your own. But Claire gave birth to my son, and I promised her that no matter who I married, my inheritance would always go to her son. "If I had another child, I'd be going back on my word. "You know how much keeping my word means to me." After half a century with him, I finally realized my whole life was nothing but a joke. I was there for him, standing by his side as he clawed his way up from a down-and-out kid to the very top. He once wrapped me in his arms and told me he wanted to grow old with me. But everything we'd been through still couldn't compare to the promise he made to his first love. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on our wedding night. James leaned in close and whispered, "Quinn, have a baby with me. I'll treat you right for the rest of my life."
