Katerina grabbed the cleaning tools sitting patiently next to the basement door for her. While she cleaned, she worried. Was Mrs. Levski just having labor worries, or was it something more? Katerina rubbed her eyes, noticing that she had scrubbed the floor so clean that it shined. She got back down on her hands and knees, scrubbing more furiously than ever before at the floor surrounding her one clean spot.

"Miss, are you alright?" a maid asked as she walked by, holding sheets and looking down at the guest in concern. Katerina recalled her name from a previous time.

"Yes, of course I'm fine, Natalia. Now, please, can I work in peace?" Natalie nodded once and curtsied before scuttling off. Katerina sighed, getting back to work, feeling guilty. She would have to tell Mr. Levski what an excellent job Natalia had been doing to get rid of the gross twist in her stomach. Or what that really the only reason for it to be there? What had caused her to snap at Natalia in the first place?

Pushing the thought aside, Katerina scrubbed and scrubbed, and when she finally was done, she sat back, admiring her work. The previously dull wood was now shining wherever the sun hit it, and Katerina smiled.

"That is how one does it," she smiled and started cleaning the dishes. She would do all of Mrs. Levski's normal chores along with hers; she was worried that if her friend even thought about getting out of bed she would hurt herself.

"Natalia?" Katerina called, knowing her voice would carry to the young servant. Almost instantly the young woman was at her side.

"Yes, ma'am?"

"I was wondering if you could try and keep Mrs. Levski in bed for me. I'm going to be doing all these chores for her and I wouldn't want that going to waste." Natalia's big brown eyes widened, her cocoa colored skin shined with light sweat.

"What about my tasks ma'am?" she questioned.

"Do not worry about them. Just, keep inside Mrs. Levski's room and watch her for me, and you can clean in there too if you so wish, but just make sure she stays in bed." Katerina said, and Natalia nodded quickly, before turning around and marching away.

"Oh, and Natalia?" Natalia turned around expectantly.

"Do not let her get up at all costs, or send you away. You may tell her I ordered you to stay there, and if she stills tries to get up or threatens to dismiss you, I shall bring it up with Mr. Levski," Katerina said, a kind smile on her face. Natalia's stressed wrinkles that Katerina hadn't even noticed on her forehead disappeared, and she smiled back.

"Yes, thank you miss," she answered, and Natalia hurried even quicker up the stairs. Katerina rubbed her eyes once more, before setting back to the task at hand.

OoOoOoOo

Katerina was startled from where she folded the laundry to hear Mr. Levski open the door and be greeted by another servant. In fact, all of the servants around Katerina had looked at her like she was nuts, which she probably was at this point, and stayed as far away from her as possible, unless beckoned.

"Mr. Levski, I must speak with you," Katerina said, and Mr. Levski smiled, looking extremely tired.

"Yes, of course," he answered, and Katerina followed him into the dining room, before sitting down in the chair across from him. "What is it, Ms. Katerina?" He asked.

"I spoke with Mrs. Levski this afternoon," Katerina started carefully, watching Mr. Levski's face. He nodded; a cue for her to go on. "She told me about her dreams. Mr. Levski, she seemed really upset and that can't be good for her unborn children, or her."

"How did you know she was having more than one child?" Mr. Levski questioned, white. Katerina frowned, confused.

"She told me…" Mr. Levski let out a whoosh of air and the color returned to his cheeks. His beefy hand slicked back his hair, and he smiled.

"Right, of course. Silly me," he joked, a little shaky. Katerina frowned, cocking her head to the side before shaking her head and getting back to the point.

"Look, Mr. Levski, she seemed really weak today. She wasn't remembering some of things she did, and after she explained to me what has been happening to her, she fell asleep. I laid her down, and she seemed to be just sleeping it off, but I sent Natalia to go upstairs and stay with her to make sure she stays in bed, even if she wakes up, which she probably will soon." Mr. Levski was up and out of his seat, charging upstairs with uncanny speed for someone pleasantly plump. Katerina hurried after him, unsure of what she'd said that made him dash like a mad man to the room.

"HELP SOMEONE!" screamed Natalia, and Katerina's eyes widened, her heat beating faster.

"What's going on?" Katerina cried, running into the room, and going pale at what she saw. Mrs. Levski was on the bed, water and blood mixing on the sheets.

"Bless me, Mary of Joseph," the young woman cried, making the cross in front of her. Mr. Levski seemed to growl as he spoke, its deep rumble scary and threatening.

"Go get the doctor from town." Natalia's eyes widened and she screamed, running from the room, and Katerina heard the bang echo from the front door slamming shut.

Mrs. Levski's breathing was shallow and heavy, and Katerina went around the bedside to hold her hand. Her face was pale and sweaty, and she looked sickly. Katerina inhaled sharply and let her squeeze her hand.

"When was she due to have them?"

"Not until another two fortnights at least the doctor said," replied Mr. Levski, his face contorted into an immensely worried expression. Katerina smoothed back Mrs. Levski's hair, humming to her.

"The babies will be coming soon. Someone should be here to deliver them," Katerina told Mr. Levski, both of them knowing Natalia had indeed not gone to the doctor's office.

"I'm not sure I can…" Mr. Levski stuttered, looking at her pleadingly, his eyes scared.

"Alright. Just be there for her. And make sure you tell her to push, this is going to be extremely painful."

"Right," Mr. Levski agreed, and he reached out, holding her hand and she clutched it with both of her tiny ones. Katerina, seeing there was just enough room at the end of the bed, sat down at lifted up her skirts, bringing down the soaked underpants. Blood seemed to stream down onto the white sheets once it was off and Katerina took a shuddering breath. She'd never been woozy, but this was going to be a whole other experience from the everyday cut and bruise.

"I think I can see a head!" Katerina cried after maybe 45 more minutes of pushing. Mrs. Levski was panting and screaming, and Mr. Levski was looking like he was the one giving birth.

"Come on love, just a bit more. The first ones almost out!" Mr. Levski encouraged over her cries. The full head was emerging now, and Katerina cupped its head, looking down at the tiny bloody mess.

A maid standing next to her held towels in one arm and scissors in the other. Katerina stared at it, the small thing so tiny it looked like it was going to break, but boy did it scream. It was louder than its mother. With a final scream and push, the baby came out. Its screams pierced the air loud, and Katerina immediately grabbed the scissors, cutting the umbilical cord and wrapping it in a soft towel. It screamed and yelled, and Katerina rubbed it trying to get off all the blood. She opened the blanket up once more, looking for the gender.

"It's a girl," Katerina said, feeling a tad ill. Wasn't that was Mrs. Levski had first dreamed about in her nightmare? Mr. Levski, even if he did realize this, made no comment towards it and his face burst with relief and pride.

"My dear, it's a girl."

"Philippa," she whispered, and then yelped in pain. Philippa, eyes still closed, mouth still open and screaming, was handed from Katerina to Mr. Levski, who cradled her in the crook of one arm, before reaching out his other hand and taking his wife's.

"There's still one more," I told Mr. Levski. He nodded, and Mrs. Levski screeched. Philippa cried too, and the head abruptly emerged. Blood spilled over Katerina's hands, and even she, with almost no experience, knew she shouldn't be losing this much blood.

"Come on, darling!" Mr. Levski encouraged, and Mrs. Levski screamed, the last push sending the baby out. Mr. Levski was the one to cut the umbilical cord this time, and Katerina dried him off with a towel as well.

"A baby boy… what shall we call you?" Mr. Levski wondered, leaning over Mrs. Levski, his face close to hers. She squinted, before smiling weakly at him.

"You name him," she whispered. Mr. Levski smiled down at her.

"I know what you want me to name him," he told her, and kissed her on the cheek, a tear glistening down his own. "His name will be Hunter. Hunter Jacob Levski and you are Philippa Elizabeth Levski. Welcome," he greeted his children, and Mrs. Levski smiled, before closing her eyes. Katerina sighed, exhausted. As she got up from the soaked and ruined bed, but suddenly the babies started crying once more, and Mrs. Levski fell asleep, tired beyond words. Mr. Levski handed one of the babies off to Katerina, before leaning down and kissing Mrs. Levski on the head. Katerina stared down and watched the baby before her slowly open up its eyes. It stayed quiet in her arms as it took in the world around her, and Katerina smiled down at little Philippa Elizabeth Levski. Her big blue eyes focused in and out on Katerina, before sneezing and starting to cry again.

"Shh," Katerina smiled softly down at the baby in her arms. It was everything like what she had lost but nothing like it at all either. Philippa cried her eyes out until she fell asleep, about five minutes later, and Katerina smiled the whole time. Mr. Levski watched her rock the baby girl, and he looked down at the baby boy in his arms.

"They're beautiful," Katerina said, smiling. Mr. Levski smiled, staring at Hunter.

"They are, aren't they? Thank you."

"Don't thank me, they're from you and Mrs. Levski," Katerina smiled as she said this, but Mr. Levski's face turned serious.

"No, not for the compliment. Thank you, Katerina Pierce. You just delivered me two healthy, beautiful children; I could not have asked you for anymore." Katerina blushed and smiled down at Philippa, sleeping in her arms.

"You both would have done the same for me," Katerina pointed out, and Mr. Levski nodded and smiled. "Here, take Philippa, I'll go get you their sleeping spaces." Katerina set Philippa down in Mr. Levski's arms and she hurried into the nursery, grabbing both light weight cribs. However as Katerina turned around, she swore she saw someone in the window, and she dropped them, surprised. Each crib hit the ground, clattering but not breaking, and she slowly walked over to the window, peering out. No one was there, of course. She was just being silly. Besides, how could they get up to a second story window?

Katerina scoffed at herself and picked up the cribs, bringing them back to Mr. Levski and putting the strange event behind her, not looking back to see a lone, pale face peering at her again through the window.
