The accident... but it is not your fault.
[Her tone is firm there, before softening back into her normal voice.]
I'm so glad... [Then she does a double take, realizing how that sounds.] I mean, I was worried you would be upset, not that I am glad we can't. If things were different I would not mind having many more for you... but caring for the little ones here will be wonderful, too.
[A flash of surprise, and she sits up straighter, shifting into a sheepish look.]
Oh... that's where the rose went... I put it in your crown.
