She saw her mother- she was cleaning up their small house. She saw her father-he had just come from the hunt, with a pair of rabbits attached to his belt. She saw her grandma-she was surprisingly young, or seemed to be. Her slender form near her bed. She was telling her stories about knights and heroes…

A silent cry woke her up. Catti-brie opened her eyes, and shook her head to get rid of the remains of her pleasant dream. The little girl was crying. Probably she needed to be changed. She spent all the night lying with her head on her mother's chest, that way if she would be hungry she wouldn't need to wake up. The same way was lying her sister but she wasn't crying, instead she was sleeping very peacefully. Catti needed all her dexterity to free her self and to not to wake up the baby. When the difficult part was done the new mommy slipped out of the bed with the other girl in her hands. Catti-brie put her daughter in the table which was prepared long time ago, and situated in her and her husband's bedroom (as well as it did a lot of other baby-stuff). Carefully she changed a piece of soft material tied around the baby's waist. When she finished she lifted her and the baby finally stopped crying. Catti smiled and tenderly looked at the babygirl. She was a drow no doubts in that. Her short white hair seemed unnatural, because of the dark skin.

'It's not that dark' Catti thought as Drizzt's color of the skin came to her mind. Suddenly the baby opened her eyes. The woman froze - they were blue not red, not violet, not even a mix up of the lavender eyes of her father and the water-color ones of her mom …A pair of blue-sky orbs was observing her with interest. She didn't even notice that tears were flooding her own eyes until a single cry came from the bed. Catti rapidly put the first babygirl in the bed and grabbed the second in her embrace calming her. Then she gave her the same treatment as to her sister. When finally both babies were asleep again, Cat was observing them with a warm smile. But her face got serious in a moment as she noticed one thing she has never gave credit to. Yes, the girls were twins; even in such early age one could see that they were absolutely similar, except the color of their skin, hair and eyes. Catti-brie was very ashamed of herself that she noticed it only now, but even more than ashamed she was amused.

"How could that be?" She exclaimed.

A soft knock at the door interrupted her thoughts. When Drizzt entered he rapidly reached for his wife's hand, softly pulled her to his embrace and gave her a tender kiss. Catti responded to him but not so enthusiastically as he did. The keen elf looked at her confused.

"The baby," The woman started to answer to the unspoken question "she doesn't have dark skin…"

"I know" Drizzt interrupted her. The lack of surprise or agitation in his voice alarmed Catti-brie.

"What wrong?" she asked seriously.

"Well, you might be a quarter elf…" the elf said as it would be an every day news.

"What! Are you crazy!"

"Hmm, not yet. Sweety, listen, how could you explain the fact that our daughter is a half-moon elf?" Drizzt tried to calm her.

"Well, maybe… maybe…" Catti-brie couldn't find a convincing reason.

"Maybe you're an elf" Drizzt came to her help.

"But…but…that's impossible! And 'a quarter-elf' what did you mean by that?" the woman was utterly lost.

"That means that your one of your grand parents was an elf" Drizzt explained more to calm her than to open her any new information. Catti-brie was about to say something when some pictures of her recent dream came to her mind. How could that be true? And if it was why she hadn't any elven feature and the baby had? That's odd…

"Ok, lets say I'm a quarter elf. Why I don't look like one and my baby does" Catti-brie wanted to catch Drizzt in the contradiction, but it seemed that he had something to avoid the tramp. Did it matter if that something was a dwarf cleric?

"Easy!" Stumped said as she entered through the door. She looked to the bed where the babies were sleeping. So similar and so different at the same time… "Not here – the babies are sleeping. I myself have no intention to spend the next hour calming them, dunno about you…" As she finished she walked out the room.

The last comment brought back Drizzt to reality for a second. He was a father of two beautiful girls now, and either way was his wife an elf or not wouldn't simplify their task of bringing them up. 'The next decades won't be easy' the drow thought as he and Catti-brie along with Wulfgar, Regis and Bruenor were following Stumped to her chamber.

"But, the babies, they shouldn't be alone" Said Catti as they entered the cleric's room.

"Don't worry Cordio Muffenhead is looking after them" Stumped answered. "Now, dear, listen, the reason that your baby is a half moon elf is and you're not is rather simple. Rarely the quarter elves have elven appearance they just conserve some of their qualities like long life, grace and so one… You daughter does look like an elf because of Drizzt. He is an elf and his blood mixed up with yours give as the result your half-moon elf daughter."

"But the other baby… She's a drow" Catti still didn't want to believe in such news. They were too good to be true…

"Well, the nature is unpredictable" the cleric merely said "and now, dear, give me your hand I've got to take some blood" She finished taking the woman's hand. As she did what it was needed she said "I'll tell you the results tomorrow, it's been a long day, and you should be exhausted by now" Stumped said to Drizzt "Ye should get some sleep. Ok, everybody out of my room!"

All the way to their chamber the couple spent without saying a word, but they didn't need to- they spent so many years together that words weren't necessary to understand each other. Both entered the room and few moments later both slipped out of it with their babies in their embraces… The sunrise promised to be beautiful!
