โI donโt think so, I trust you, and
I care for you, and I know you
wouldnโt harm me, or them.โ
She rested her hand on his cheek.
โNever intentionally.โ

โThey are new, but they are not made
of glass, hereโโ
She moved Wolfe into his arms,
adjusting them carefully so that he
was holding him comfortably.
โSee? Heโs not breaking.โ

She sighed softly, looking at him for
a moment, before taking her hand
and moving his gently to Wolfeโs face.
โYouโre being so tenseโ you wonโt
break them you know.โ

โSheโs sound asleep tooโ
thatโs all they really do, sleep or
scream at me for somethingโโ
Her ears dropped slightly as if
she was expecting them to start
doing so suddenly.
โTheyโre very loudโโ

โBoredโโ
She chuckled softly, turning her
attention to him, smiling.
โI feel fine but the midwives have

โTrying to tell if heโs yours already?โ
She was smiling softly, even without
looking at him she knew he would be
looking for any sign that they where his.
โIโve not seen anything to indicate itโ
Iโm sorryโโ

Percival leaned back against the headboard and nodded silently, pausing for a moment.
โYes he is.โ
He studied the infantโs face quietly, taking in his features.

She smiled softly, taking his hand
gently and pulling him down to rest
beside her, leaning her head onto
his shoulder so he could see the small
boy in her arms.
โHeโs cute isnโt he?โ

He lingered a bit by the door, a lump in his throat for several reasons. One: babies are fragile creatures and he is one of massive destruction, Two: would they like him?, and Three: are they his? Would he be able to tell?
Percival slowly approached the bedside.
Percival carefully opened the bedroom door and slipped silently into the room. He knew that she knew heโd entered but he thought best to not make too much noise with newborns in the room.

Sheโs humming softly, rather bored
by the enforced bed rest, holding
one of her newborn twins in her
arms while the other slept in their
cot.
โYouโre oddly cute little Wolfeโโ

โI know, but youโve been so

She smiled, purring herself.

โIt was helping, but now even
the smell of the tea for my
nausea is making me feel sick.โ
She closed her eyes, seemingly
soothed somewhat by his presence.

โItโs absolutely horrific todayโโ
She whined softly, leaning her
head against his stomach,
closing her eyes as she tried to
focus on anything other than
how the room was swimming.
