Chapter 1

It was another day at the home of Kevan Lannister and his family; he was seated at the kitchen table with his wife Dorna, the two of them smiled as they enjoyed breakfast together. They were certainly a happy family, a happy family that had recently grown.

In addition to their three sons, fourteen year old Lancel and the ten year old twins, Martyn and Willem, they now had a daughter, Janei; who had been born only a few months ago. It was then they heard the footsteps and before long Lancel entered the kitchen, he smiled when he saw his parents.

"Morning mum, dad." He greeted them happily.

They both smiled back and returned his greeting. "Good morning Lancel, sleep well?"

He nodded. "Yes."

He quickly got breakfast and sat down to join them. More footsteps could be heard shortly afterwards and Kevan, Dorna and Lancel all shared small smiles as they waited. Sure enough the twins then entered, bleary eyed, hair tousled and both with identical sleepy expressions. Compared to their older brother, Martyn and Willem were not morning people.

"Morning boys." Kevan greeted; still smiling that same small smile.

"Morning." They replied; or at least, Martyn did, Willem's reply came out as an unintelligible mumble.

Getting their own breakfast Martyn and Willem joined them at the table.

They are in silence for a while before Dorna then spoke up.

"So, anything going on, boys?"

The twins shrugged, Lancel however bit his lip and then spoke.

"I…There is something I wanted to talk to you about." He said. "I'm worried about Janei."

Instantly Martyn and Willem were alert, clearly knowing what Lancel meant.

Kevan and Dorna shared worried looks. "What do you mean?"

It was Martyn who answered. "She's seemed kinda…off lately, her cheeks are all red and she's really grumpy."

Kevan and Dorna shared a knowing look at that and Kevan left the room. Dorna turned to the boys and smiled.

"I see what you are talking about boys, don't worry too much." She told them.

Willem blinked. "Huh, but…"

Doran then explained. "It's fine, there's nothing…wrong, with Janei, but she is in pain. She's teething."

That instantly caught the attention of all three boys. Their baby sister was teething; they grinned.

"Wow, that's…great…" Martyn gasped.

Lancel and Willem nodded before Lancel asked. "How did you know, mum?"

Dorna just smiled. "All three of you were the same."

The boys laughed, it was then Kevan returned, carrying Janei. She whimpered, sticking her fingers in her mouth, Kevan did his best to soothe her as the rest of the family joined them. Janei, despite the pain of teething, smiled as her family gathered around her.
