"But why?" Ailene asked before putting her arms around Luna. "Listen, I know how you feel, I've went through the same thing when I was young."

"Be a psychologist?" Shinn asked.

"I can't help it," Luna sighed, "It's like...since I've given birth, I've gotten more and more depressed."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Yes," Rose answered simply.

"Oh." Ailene nodded her head. "That's normal, it's called post partum depression." she pointed out while crossing her arms.

"Well you're one now so..." Shinn grabbed her hand and grinned. "Enjoy it."

"It's even gotten to the point that I've even wondered how much better life would be if I was dead," Luna sighed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I will," Rose replied with a soft smile.

"No they wouldn't." Ailene shook her head. "Trust me Luna, you're fine."

"Good." Shinn gave her a toothy grin before grabbing her hand.

"I can't see it though," Luna sighed.

---------------------------------------

"What is it?" Rose asked.

"You don't have to see it." Ailene nodded her head before looking at Vincent and handing him to Luna. "Just look at Vincent and my son and Carey and Bob, they all love you dearly."

"I'm just grabbing your hand." Shinn laughed.

"I know but I hate myself," Luna sighed.

----------------------------------------------

"Oh," Rose replied simply.

"You haven't done anything that makes it worth hating you though, you're a sweet girl." she reassured.

"I'm ugly and fat," Luna sighed.

"I think I can disagree with that." Ailene nodded her head. "You're not."

Luna sighed as she held Vincent close.

"How's your father?' Ailene asked.

"He came and visited once but that's it," Luna answered.

"Is there a problem?' She asked with a worried expression.
