Aurora's Twin
Leah's POV
I gasped and screamed again. "Leah, what's wrong?" my husband, King Stefan, asked.
"The baby's coming," I cried out again.
"But the child was already born," he protested.
"No," I moaned. "A second child—twins."
He nodded and the midwife turned back to me, and said, "Well, this is indeed a pleasant surprise, Your Grace."
I nodded and screamed as the child tried to exit, but was blocked by something. "Help my baby," I begged the woman.
After four more hours of torture, my second daughter was born. I smiled and, as Stefan held our older daughter, Aurora, I held our younger daughter, Selene.
Stefan laughed and said, "Ironic—our first daughter is the Daughter of the Dawn and our second daughter is the Daughter of the Moon."
I smiled and, noticing that Selene was reaching toward her older sister, who was calmly staring right back at her, said, "They are polar opposites."
I smiled and we set them in the cradle together and they kicked and screamed and cried, both very tired and hungry.
I sighed and Stefan said, "I'll be right back."
After he'd left, I quickly fed the two girls.
