 Yvette turned to husband for a moment. "You better catch me if I fall." She told him as she moved off the bed. She stood up and placed his arms where wanted them to be. One around her waist and belly while the other one continued to hold her hand. The position also give her husband a sense of how she was feeling. When a baby was moving and when her body was contracting. There was already a few kicks in the first few minutes. Yvette turned towards her sister. "You'll come crying back. I know you too well. I'll be waiting for you. My door is always open for auntie Lucy." She told her sister with a smile as she started to walk. First step though was the hardest since she had a contraction right then and there. She leaned herself against her husband while dealt with the pain.

  With an arm around Yvette, he nodded to her demand, his tone teasing as he told her, "I'll try." However, his attention was quickly averted by the many kicks in his wife's stomach. It didn't matter how often he had felt these babies move before, nothing compared to the awe he felt now. He would finally be able to hold his children soon, and cradle them against the love of his life.
Lucy couldn't help but roll her eyes. So what if her sister was right, it didn't mean she had to hear it. She supposed it didn't matter how old they got, Lucianna would always have Yvette to look out for her, even when she felt she didn't need it. When Elendil left for his people she would prove her maturity...at least she thought she would. "I'm going to ignore everything but 'Auntie Lucy.' I love the sound of that." She laughed lightly for a few seconds before stopping abruptly at the sight of Yvette's pain. Both Lucy and Caesar moved to help, although she let Caesar do the talking.
"I'm right here." he told her before encouraging her to walk a little more. Time seemed to pass so quickly, he was sure that she'd have to back in bed before too long.

Yvette knew her husband would never leave her side and made sure to give him a big kiss as she was able to move correctly again. Her first stop was the bathroom and then followed by slowly drinking water as she walked around. Once she was done with that she walked some more until the pain was so strong that returned to the bed. At that point the doctor told her to get on her hands and knees and rock back and forth a bit while Caesar rubbed her back. During that time Tabby returned with Seth. Debating over some policy that Tabby didn't care for about the country. Finally after an hour and a half the doctor said it was time to start pushing the babies out. She got two nurses and a second doctor prepared and put Yvette in a spot that would allow them to do their work well. The Princess held to her husband hand in preparation for the arrival of the heirs to their homeland.

 Once back inside the room, Caesar worked as diligently as he could. He truly wished he could do more for his wife, who was dealing with so much pain and yet she hardly made any noise, let alone complain. He doubted he could remain so level headed if he were in her situation.
Seth did his best to refute every thing Tabitha said; it was so natural by this point. Years of debating and fighting hadn't cooled either one of them when it came to how he ran his country. It felt to him like she would never be pleased until Yvette was the one ruling. Still, even the two of them managed not to yell that day, probably because neither one wanted to upset their daughter. When they entered the room, he shut up. He could always continue their argument later.
Lucy waved at her father when he entered, and even managed a smile for Tabby. Her relationship with the older woman was strange, but she actually had a lot of respect for her; it's just that she would never consider her as close as she did Yvette.

The doctor moved the blanket that was covering the birth canal and looked her over. "Yup. There the first one is." She commented as she nodded to the nurses to get ready. "Okay Yvette get ready to push. On the count of three. One. Two. Three." The woman started to push and it took twenty-five minutes of pushing and tears for the baby to come out. The doctor grabbed the child and lifted it to its mother's chest. "First one is here." She said as she wiped the baby a bit. "Okay dad, time to cut the cord." She told the prince consort. With a snip the baby was free. The doctor moved the cloth. "We have a little princess." She said with a smile. The second doctor checked the baby before handing her to her father. "Isabel." She called the child. " Isabel Tabitha Dawn Aurora." She repeated herself giving the full name of the child. Tabby was the first to go after her son-in-law. "Ah. You gave my name to her. Grandma will just have to spoil you to death."

After cutting the cord, Caesar cradled his child close, his expression one of awe as he met his daughter. "Isabel Tabitha Dawn Aurora." He whispered, echoing his wife's words as he kissed the baby's forehead as gently as he could. He could have held her for hours, days, weeks, but there was an entire room full of people who were eagerly waiting for their chance to greet the newest princess. So after a few more seconds of staring at his daughter, he let Tabby take her, a grin on his face when she admitted she'd spoil the girl. Realizing that Yvette's ordeal wasn't finished, he turned back to her, his hand slipping back into her palm as he encouraged her, "You're almost done."
Seth's expression was one of pride. His first grandchild, and his second just a few minutes away. Once it was his turn to hold Isabel, he recalled just how tiny and delicate babies were. He knew that any child of Yvette's would quickly outgrow those traits to become the strongest people in their world, but for now, they would be protected by everything his country had to offer.
Lucy could hardly contain her excitement. She waited for as long as she could, letting her niece be held by Tabitha, Seth, and Caesar's parents before exclaiming, "Auntie Lucy's turn!" Receiving a raised brow from Caesar's mother, Lucianna managed to waylay any doubt by beaming a smile. Once the child was in her arms, however, she got very serious. "I want you to promise be awesome. Got it? Cool." She laughed lightly, kissing the child's cheek before adding excitedly, "Get ready to meet your twin, little one."

The second twin came quicker than the first and within five minutes there was another little one out of its mother and on her chest. At this moment Yvette was waiting for the news that it was another little girl. The doctor had Caesar cut the cord once again before announcing the gender of the baby. "A prince." The doctor announced before having the second doctor look over the child and handing him to his father. "Christian. Christian Seth Victor." She announced the name with surprise. She was sure that it was going to a Maria, not a Christian. Tabby turned to her ex. "She told you she wasn't cursed." She commented. "Where's my money." She joked as if they had made a real bet on one of the babies being a boy.

Within five minutes, Caesar was meeting his son. It was surreal news, but his attention was quickly captured by the infant being put in his arms. Looking at his son, he repeated his name just as he done for his daughter, also ending with a soft kiss on his forehead. "Christian Seth Victor." Looking up to see Lucy return Isabel to Yvette's arms, he couldn't help but widen his smile, rotating his gaze between his two children. Leaning down to Yvette, he kissed her before telling her, "Thank you." It was traditional phrase among their people, one that he felt wholly in his heart. She had chosen to carry their children to term, and worked to ensure a smooth delivery, something he could never do. But now, he had one daughter, and one son to raise alongside his wife.
A boy? There was a new boy in the family, in the same generation as his own son. The news was a shocker, and Seth found himself in stunned silence. The fact that Yvette had named the newest prince after himself, his brother, and his father made tears come to his eyes, although there was a definite twinkle of happiness. Slowly, he smiled, and mimed handing over cash to Tabitha. For a moment, he mourned the fact that neither of those men would ever meet his grandson, but the feeling of elation rose in his chest as he saw both of his grandchildren in the arms of his daughter and son-in-law.
"Oh my god." Lucy's words held clear shock, but she hadn't said them very loudly. She supposed it was the surprise that had kept her tone muted. It was assumed that her brother would be the only male in the family for years to come, but clearly Yvette had managed to be an exception to the curse. While she was ecstatic to have a nephew, Lucianna felt a pang of jealousy in her chest. She would likely never have a son with her blood so tainted by the curse on their family. Absently, she realized that she would have to tell Elendil that he had been correct about the curse Still, she shoved down that dark emotion and let her natural happiness take over. "There's little two!" she exclaimed, deciding to call her neice and nephew 'little one' and 'little two' from here on out.

"I have a son?" She was have in doubt that the doctor had said the right gender. She held the little girl to her chest. This was her daughter. This was Isabel and that one was Christian. She couldn't move just yet since she had to deal with the afterbirth first. Maybe her claims were founded, that she couldn't be affected by curse. She turned her head to her husband as her mother looked over her second grandchild. "Hey their little Mr." She said with soft words. "Oh Seth, he totally has your eyes." The woman commented. It looked like she was in near tears over the arrival of her grandson. After a good moment Tabby finally kidnapped the infant. His father hand him for long enough. She retreated and walked over to Seth so he can have a good look at the boy.

Caesar nodded in response to Yvette's question. A laugh escaped him at the look of disbelief she had on her face, but their son was in his arms, as real as the daughter in her's. After a few minutes that had only felt like seconds, he let Tabitha take her turn. It was only fair that his mother-in-law have a chance to hold Christian, and the love radiating from the new grandmother couldn't ever be replicated.
Seth's eyes were still watery, but he was still smiling like an idiot as everyone took turns doting over his grandchildren. As Tabby approached him with their grandson, Seth looked at the boy."I-" He was't sure what to say, but after a few more moments, the king gave up on even trying to explain his joy. His daughter and heiress was a mother, born only because of the strength that belonged to the woman in front of him. There had been so much wrong in their relationship, but the life that she had raised had only made his family larger and more thankful for the times of peace.
Lucy was still smiling, he expression unwavering as she announced to anyone listening, "I just have to go tell Elendil. Just imagine little one and two meeting their first official delegate." Excusing herself between people to cross the room, she flashed one last smile at Caesar's mother before exiting. Once in the hallway, she let her grin fade, appearing more natural as she walked along the hallway. She told herself that it didn't matter if she wouldn't have this sort of future some day, she would have loads of fun with her niece and nephew...no need for her to worry about something beyond her control. The curse was just part of her lineage, and it's not like it would matter anyways. Lucy was well aware that she was the spare. The princess that would hold no titles or responsibilities. She reminded herself once again that it was a blessing to have been born as such. She remained silent until she found Elendil, where she replaced the smile on her face as she practically ran to him to announce, "Yvette has delivered the twins~ A princess and a prince!"

Once the doctor was done with clean up she stepped to the side and let the family gush over the latest members of the royal family. Yvette grabbed her camera and handed it to her husband. "Let's make some memories." She told him with a smile. She then turned to her father. "Dad, why don't you get Nathan, her and the other members of our family." She was unable to say her step-mother's name. "I think they should meet the new family members as well." Yvette wanted to keep the birth room private. Grandparents and Lucy was her rule. She now was going to have a ton of Valdez coming to meet their niece and nephew. Tabitha handed the little prince to his other grandmother to allow her take her time with the prince while she walked with her ex to round up everyone else. "You know I'm going to gloat that my daughter had a prince." She told Seth. She was probably going to do it to his wife. She knew better than to do it to Nathan. He was just a child.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Elendil saw Lucky approach. He smiled at her and, after making sure no one could see them, have her a quick kiss. His long fingers grasped at her. "Congratulations. If she has one more son then we know that the curse is broken on her." The man responded. The curse ran by generation and Nathan and the new prince were in different generations so it was hard to tell if the curse was really broken. "Has view begun?" He asked her. "We may have to set up a playdate between our nieces and nephews." He flirted.

Caesar took a hold of the camera, ashamed that he hadn't gotten any pictures prior to this moment. He had been so swept up in Yvette and their new babies that he hadn't even considered bringing a camera. Luckily, Yvette was the organized of the two, and so he proceeded to take dozens of snapshots, starting with his wife.
Watching as Christian was handed to Caesar's mother, Seth looked back to Yvette. When she was done speaking, he flashed her a smile and nodded. It was clearly time for the more extended parts of the family to meet the babies, and he was just glad that Yvette had agreed to let the Queen meet her step-grandchildren so soon. Leaving the room with Tabby, he rose a brow at her comment. "I'd expect nothing less." for once, he hadn't meant his statement as an insult; he knew why she was proud, and even he could admit that Yvette was one step closer to proving that she had not been affected by the curse. The closest a Solindo had ever come to going against the curse was his own mother, but it had not lasted forever. Shoving aside the past and its sadness, he focused on the present, which kept his posture upbeat as he and Tabitha found the rest of the Valdez family and his own. Eileen was speaking with Caesar's father, and Nathan was running around with one of the younger boys.
Accepting his kiss with a smile, she listened as he spoke. She nodded slightly as she agreed, "True. I'm sure the seers will be working on their predictions the moment the news spread." She wondered over the idea for a moment, but was quickly distracted by Elendil speaking again. He was clearly flirting, which was something she enjoyed seeing him do. "I'm sure they would have loads of fun. In fact, they'd probably be running around so much that we'd have to keep each other company." Still facing him, she ran a hand across the bottom of his shirt before taking his arm to lead him back down the hallway towards Yvette's room.

As her husband took a picture the woman held up their little girl. "Come here papa, lets have a picture with all three of us." She told waving him over. "We'll do the same when we can free Christian from your mom and then one with the four of us." She added to the man. ~~~~~~ "I'm going to tell them now, so they know when they get in there." The woman said with a wicked grin. "Hello everyone." The model said as she pushed back her pink hair. " The babies are born and we would like to personally introduce them to you. First to come into our world is Princess Isabel Tabitha Dawn Aurora and was followed shortly by her twin," Tabitha took a moment to look at Eileen with a glare. The Queen's face wanted to be in her memory when she announced the prince. "Prince Christian Seth Victor." The woman said. Oh she knew that this child was a threat to Nathan. Not that Yvette was. There were those who still held out for Nathan to be named King. ~~~~~~~ Elendil gently grabbed her hands. "As much as you wish, I do not want to alert your father, come. Let's visit the little prince and princess. I'm sure they're creating smiles already." He told her as he followed her down the hall.

 Obliging, Caesar took a seat beside his wife, angling the camera to capture a picture of the three of them. Looking back to his mother, he beckoned her over. Once she had crossed the room, he took a picture of her holding Christian, then managed to convince her to give up her grandson so that she could take the next photo. With his son in his arms, he posed with Yvette, his smile never wavering. Once he heard the camera's click, he turned to kiss Yvette's cheek, surprised to hear a second click. Looking up in surprise, he realized that his mother was taking a third picture, this one also unsuspected. "Ma!" he exclaimed, but before he could complain any more she spoke up over him, insisting, "You can pose all you want, but my photos show the true love."
Seth looked over at Tabitha when she spoke, his eyes widening slightly as he tried to think of a way to stop her. He had wanted to tell his wife personally, but as usual, he was much slower than Tabby on the draw. Sighing behind her, he simply reveled everyone's excitement. The Valdez family all jumped up in a cheer for the names of both children, surrounding both himself and Yvette with words of congratulations. As Caesar's family went to meet the new royal members, Seth went to Nathan, who seemed just as excited as everyone else.
Eileen was the Queen of Sirens. He had power and wealth, and an amazing family. But unfortunately, she also had a woman named Tabitha in her life. It didn't matter how many years passed, the witch would always be connected to her family, through her husband and step daughter. It was something she had accepted long ago. Eileen had never felt threatened by the other woman; every glance and look they exchanged had meant nothing, until she was given a glare that day. Before Tabby had even announced the news of a boy, Eileen knew exactly was going to be said. And the shock that played across her face was undeniable. Her son was supposed to be the only male in the family for the next generation...she had given Seth a boy. She had fulfilled the curse's requirements. After several seconds of quiet while everyone around chattered excitedly, the Queen stood from her seat, crossing the distance between herself and Tabitha with a smile on her face. She had just realized something. "That is amazing news." she conceded, her tone soft as she relied on all her years of grooming to keep her temper in check. She turned to check on Seth, who was preoccupied with picking up Nathan. "But Nathan is the child's uncle, yes? So maybe, since they are of different generations despite their closeness in age...maybe Yvette is not as free of the curse as she thinks." Nor as special, she thought, but managed to not to say aloud. Instead, Eileen flashed a triumphant grin, her posture straight as she turned her back on the witch to join her husband and son.
Hand in hand, Lucy led the way down the hallway until they reached the right door. Before she opened it, she gave Elendil a quick kiss before releasing his hand. While Yvette knew now of their relationship, it was still best to keep it quiet, so they'd have to act as just two diplomatic friends. As they entered the room, Lucianna motioned to the babies in the arms of their parents, her voice polite but full of clear excitement. "Allow me to introduce Princess Isabel Tabitha Dawn Aurora and Prince Christian Seth Victor."

Yvette smiled when the little boy joined them. He was her sweet little prince. She was a bit surprised when her mother-in-law got a picture of them. She didn't see it coming, but she didn't mind. She even giggled when her husband exclaimed. "Let's give her a photo that she'll love then." The woman told her husband as she pulled him into a kiss with one baby each in their arms. ~~~~~~~~~ Tabitha was so mad she could breath fire. Eileen made her so mad. She everything that Tabitha wanted and the only thing Tabby had that Eileen didn't was the line of the crown through her blood. The woman marched up behind the woman. She wasn't going down until she had the last word. "You're right. I'm sure Nathan will be a great adviser to the future king. Seth will Christian be the second of his name or is there other kings by that name?" She asked her ex. She was making it a point that her descendants will be ruling. ~~~~~~~~~ Elendil and Lucy came in right to find the princess kissing her consort. They broke apart soon after words and the new mother looked lovingly down at her daughter. The Elf prince walked over to the couple, but instead looked at the child. "Elen sila lumenn omentilmo." He said to the babies before he produced something from his cape. "Please take these. I wish many great things between our people." the prince said as he pinned a leaf brooch to each child's blanket.
