A Broken Heart
It's been four years since Derek and Genevieve got married. They now rule her father's kingdom, while he enjoys his children and grandchildren. Adaline, Blair, Delia, Ediline, and Fallon have all gotten married and have their own families to look after. Hadley and Isla are both engaged to be married soon.
But darkness falls. The king becomes dreadfully sick. The doctor comes. But there is nothing he can do. The girls stay by their father's side. One day he seemed a lot worse than any other day.
"I need to speak to Genevieve and Derek alone, please." The king whispered. Everyone left except for Genevieve. Derrek entered a couple minutes later.
"Yes, Sir?" Derrek asked.
"I would like for you two to take care of the triplets till they are old enough to take care of themselves." Genevieve looked at Derek. He gave her a small smile.
"I promise they will have a home with us as long as they need it." Derrek said. He reached out and grasped the older man's hand.
"Thank you." He looked toward the door. "Tell the girls to please come back." Derrek went and opened the bedroom door. The girls quietly entered. "Will you please sing for me." The girls began to sing. When they were done the king smiled at them. "I love all my princesses very much." With that he breathed his last.
