"Come on Sakuya you can do it my dear!" Alexander encouraged his wife. "I…I don't think I can handle anymore!" She cried out in pain as she pushed again. After that push a small baby boy was born. Nicholas was only the first child born out of two, but Alexander nor Sakuya knew that there was another. Nicholas cried loudly because he wanted his sister who was trapped inside his mother and she couldn't get free. Soon Sakuya was unable to breath at all and no one knew why. Back then there was nothing that told the medical people how many kids a woman was to have or even if she was going to or not so they couldn't tell that Sakuya was having another child, they just silently panicked. But soon they were able to figure out that Sakuya was having a second child and they began to try and help. But because of the shape Sakuya was in there wasn't much they could do that wouldn't either harm Sakuya or the unborn child. After about a year of Kira struggling to get free and Sakuya trying to push her out a light red mark appeared around Nicholas' throat the shoulder and it was then that Alexander understood why the child wasn't coming out. "SILENCE!" Alexander screamed loudly. At that moment everyone was silent except Nicholas who was gasping for breath. "The child's umbilical cord is wrapped tightly around her neck and left shoulder…we have to try to find a way to unwrap it before she suffocates and dies…I REFUSE TO LOSE ANY CHILD!" For another year the medical people tried almost everything they could to try and save the child. They didn't have the medicine or tools to cut her open and her still live. Right now Sakuya is only alive because she is Alexander's wife and half immortal. But if cut open in a certain way she'd quickly die. Alexander knew this and began trying to think how to save the unborn child. Nicholas sat in his crib the marks still on his body and he played with a small wooden rattle. Alexander hated watching the marks on Nicholas' neck and shoulder get darker because he knew that meant that the cord around the unborn child's neck and shoulder were getting tighter and she'd soon be dead. Alexander was now quietly panicking and franticly trying to decide who was more important between his wife Sakuya and his unborn child which would later be named Kira. Alexander found one thing that puzzled him very badly. The child is not yet born and he already has a very strong connection with her. Alexander couldn't understand it at all. He wanted this child to live no matter the cost and so he made his decision, he grabbed his dagger from it's leather sheath and he walked into the infirmary with Nicholas close to his side. "Are we gonna save sissy now daddy?" he asked him quickly. Alexander smiled. "Yes son we're gonna go save sissy!" Alexander walked up to his wife's bed and quietly said "Please forgive me" and sliced her stomach open careful not to slice the child and picked her up. "Welcome to this world my little Kira!" he said gently. Kira smiled and giggled and hugged her daddy and brother. Alexander was so very happy that he began to cry. Both the twins smiled and said in unison "Don't cry daddy everything's ok!" Alexander smiled as tears stained his cheeks even more, "I know…everything's ok…now…" Alexander picked the twins up and held them close to his chest. Nicholas and Kira closed their little eyes and intertwined their little hands and fell quickly asleep listening to the sound of their dad's heart beat.
Alexander was so very glad to hold his new twins. Hr had, had twins before but never a boy and girl twin set. He had two boys but that was it. Alexander couldn't be happier as he held Kira and Nicholas. And he didn't know that Kira would soon be the child that he'd want to live for no matter the cost. Because of Kira and Nicholas Alexander had realized he finally had a full family of children…and loved them all!
