Its Gwen

Sitting on the bed ,you see Gwen come into the light of your flashlight.

“Is she alright?” You ask.

“Yes, Aimee is alright thanks to you.” Gwen tells you with a solemn expression.

“Aimee…..It suits her.” You say.

You notice Gwen looking at your flaccid penis, and move the blanket covering yourself.

“Thanks. While Lea is busy helping Aimee, I wanted to ask you something.” Gwen says.

“Sure Gwen, what do you want to know.” You ask.

“Why?” She asks

“Why what?” you return.

“Why did you rape me Alex, I really need to know.” Gwen says.

“You really want to know?” You ask.

“Please...” Gwen says.

“Okay. I’ve been pondering they why since we finished, and I guess the most basic explanation is AOE.” you tell Gwen.

“AOE?” she asks.

“Accumulation of everything, you see when I caught you all the helpless rage and horror welled up in me in a dangerous visceral response. You see I was caught by a plague victim, and I watched as he tortured another prisoner for hours before he died. I got lucky and I was able to loosen my ropes enough to fight back when he came to kill me. After that I huddled in a back room in the mall afraid to come out, and when I finally did I came across you and seeing the gun in your hand brought back the same feeling that hit me when the maniac came to gut me.” You finish, shame washing over you.

“I understand Alex, and I want you know that I forgive you.” Gwen says.

“Thanks.” You tell her, giving her a weak smile.

Gwen gets up, turning on a flashlight she starts to head back to the other, when you decide to ask her a question.

“Gwen, why did you want to know?” You ask her.

Gwen stops, and turns back to you placing her hand on her stomach.

“Rain or shine my cycle has been the same since I hit puberty, and if I’m right I’ll be having my first child in 9 months.” Gwen tells you.

“Gwen I...” You say.

Gwen starts to move off do you stop her.
