Here is chapter 2 of Danny Boy. Riska wanted to know a little more of what Maria & Guenevere did when they found out they were sisters, so here it is!
I'm extremely sorry that it took so long to post this chapter, but my beta went on leave so I had to find another beta to take her place. Many thanks to my temporary betas, Jess III & Christian Sheffield!

Maria and I sat at the fire, talking. We
have had these fireside chats often since
Maria and I had found out we were
sisters. We would stay in the sitting
room talking for hours, exchanging
memories and little facts about our
childhood, while Georg and Max played
with the children upstairs. Tonight, we were talking
about the present. I decide to ask Maria
why she had seen the doctor. I
had asked her this as soon as she had
reappeared, but I was answered with only a
smile. Maria said she would tell me later,
when the time was right. I decided that
there wasn't a better time than
now, and confronted Maria.
"Are you going to tell me why you saw the
doctor yet, Maria?"
She smiles and replies, "if you are going
to keep asking me about it, I might as
well tell you."
"Well?" I ask, getting impatient at
Maria.
"I went in for the same reason you went
in Geunevere."
It takes a moment for this to sink in.
"You went to get a pregnancy test, too?"
"Like you, I have suspected that I may be
pregnant again. I want Georg to be
suprised, so your need to go visit the
doctor was the perfect chance for me to
go to." Maria replies, while I still am
in slight shock. Maria being pregnant
also was the farthest thought from my
mind.
"I guess that would be why you were so
eager to go with me, wouldn't it?" I say
with a laugh. "I was wondering why you
seemed so happy while I was so scared."
Maria laughs. "Guenevere, when you have 9 children, you learn not to be
suprised at anything."
"I guess it'll be a while before I learn that." I reply, laughing with
Maria.
All of a sudden, the phone rings.
