I thought it would be weird to have these other children about, the ones who claim Mary as their mother and someone else as their father, but I find I really don't mind. I'm quite secure in my relationship with my wife, I've no doubt she'll have no reason to cheat on me with these other men. The children are simply a glimpse of what could be, were I to leave this place while she stayed behind. It comforts me to think she would find happiness again, were I not able to be here for her in future.
