Stefan's POV
I soon found Hubert and smiled. "Hubert, my friend," I greeted him pleasantly.
"Stefan, is your wife OK?" he asked anxiously.
I nodded and said, "Yes, she's fine. She just needs to make sure that our daughters don't kill each other."
He nodded and I said, "Speaking of the girls, could I have Phillip's old cradle for my younger daughter?"
Hubert's mouth fell open and repeated, "Younger daughter?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, she was a surprise to me—and my wife. We'd believed we were only expecting one child."
He nodded and the cradle was quickly brought up to the girls' room.
I returned and watched Leah move Selene into the second crib.
Selene and Aurora had already fell silent, but then I noticed that Aurora had shifted so she was facing the second crib and Selene was facing Aurora's crib.
What was up with those two kids? I wondered.
"They truly love each other," Leah whispered, smiling at the two cribs.
"The christening," I murmured. "The same day for both?"
She nodded and kissed each one's forehead.
Selene stirred and opened her eyes, beginning to cry, realizing she wasn't with her twin.
I frowned and I put her next to Aurora, who stirred and clung to her younger sister. Selene snuggled against her sister's shoulder and soon fell back asleep.
"Well, I guess we won't need Phillip's crib, after all," Leah smiled as Aurora and Selene clung to each other, drifting back to sleep.
