Summary
When had this ugly shame gotten such a hold on him? When had it grown so great that he couldn’t even speak the memory of those he’d loved and lost?
The words finally tore free of him. “I had a son once.”
“Oh.” Charles’ response seemed underwhelming, but the awful truth of it must have hit him a second later, as he all but collapsed against Arthur’s side. “Oh, Arthur.”
In the wake of Jack's rescue from Angelo Bronte and return to Shady Belle, Arthur finds himself unable to celebrate with the rest of the gang. Seeing John come so close to losing his son has inevitably brought up the guilt and grief of his own lost son. He steps away to deal with it alone, but runs into Charles on patrol. It isn't long before the awful truth of it comes spilling out of him.

Summary
Arthur had done plenty of stupid things in his life, but last week, when he'd helped a feller get his leg out of a bear trap, he'd winced, and said to himself, 'Now, you ain't ever gonna do somethin' this dumb you ugly bastard, ya hear me?'
His fault, really. He'd practically asked for it.

Summary
The last shot is accompanied by the trail of a cry, shrill, angry, fearful. Arthur lowers his revolver. Blinks. Tongues at a bloody tooth from getting hit while strangling an O’Driscoll, spits red mucus onto one of the bodies on the floor.
The crying starts up again, as if sensing Arthur’s confusion. For a moment, Arthur thinks it must be some poor lady these savages have taken alongside the house, but quickly knows it to be untrue. It’s too—wet, pointless in a way only the young can manage, knowing that something is wrong but not knowing what. Just a shout, not the bellowing anguish of someone who knows what god-awful situation they have been put in.
“Christ,” he says, once, twice. “Christ.”
or
Arthur accidentally adopts a baby, and, despite his best judgement, ends up starting to raise him. He falls in love with Charles along the way.
