(William's POV)

After I finished doing chores around the house, I hitched Belial to a carriage and took him back to Edward's.

When I arrived at Edward's, I unhitched Belial and took him to the stables. Then I went back up to Edward's house.

I was about to go into the spare room where Mary was when Edward stepped into the hall and whispered, "She's asleep."

"Really? How long?"

"I'm not sure; I just checked on her."

"How is she?" I asked.

"She's very exhausted; she may not seem like it, but I can tell; she's pale and her eyes are dim."

"Mary's not had much sleep lately. She says that the baby kicks to hard at night for her to sleep."

"Speaking of which, Will, how high do you think the possibility is that she's carrying twins?"

"I think it's pretty high."

"That's what I believe as well, and as I said before, it could complicate things."

"Bleeding, do you mean?"

"Yes, there is a high chance of it."

I began to go pale.

"But there's still a chance that she won't, correct?"

"Yes… is there something you want to tell me?"

"It's not very important; it's just that she bled when she gave birth to my son. He was turned the wrong way."

"I see…"

"Look, Edward, is there anything that you can tell me that isn't something to be worried about when it comes time for Mary to give birth?"

"Just like you asked, the labour might go smoothly, with no serious bleeding. The chances of it are slim, but can only improve if she stays in bed."

I closed my eyes and sighed.

"Look, Will, we're going to do every thing we can for her."

"I know.. you wouldn't do any thing less for Mary, the children, or even me. Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do for us."

Edward smiled, embracing me and said, "You're my younger brother Will. It's my duty to look after you."

"I just wish I could make it up to you."

"Well you can help me with supper."

I laughed.

"To the kitchen, dear brother!"
