Samantha was not only a lesbian but the single mother of two adopted boys, Jake (8y) and Bobby (4y) and one she gave birth too when she was still married to her now deceased wife Tish, named Thomas (3y). Samantha was a good mother but Tish was more of the father figure for the boys. And with her dead it was difficult raising all three on her own.
Samantha was thinking this over wishing she could be the father figure the boys need. When the ring started to get warm.
