Annicka was pacing around in the nursery. The little baby in her arms were finally asleep after hours of constant screaming.
"You surely have strong lungs my darling," Annicka whispered and stroke the little girls forehead.
She let her gaze wander out the window and into the darkness. The streetlights leading up to the castle were still giving of light but it was faint. Soon they would turn off and the whole kingdom would lay in darkness. She rocked her daughter and let her eyes wander the nursery. The walls were painted in the colour of gold and royalblue and the floor was a white, cozy rug. They had everything they could possibly need but her husband hadn't agreed to anything less. Annicka couldn't help but to smile, she loved him more than words could tell.
Then she turned to one of the two cribs and looked down at her son. He slept just like his father, with limbs all over the place. Annicka put the little girl in the crib beside her brother and then she just looked at them. Her beautiful twins. Roland and her was overjoyed when they had been told that they were expecting twins and the pure bliss they had felt when they arrived and that it was a girl and a boy, it went over the new parents heads. Annicka bent down and stroke the little boy on his pink cheek.
"You and your sister are the best I have." She whispered.
The little boy stirred in his sleep at her touch but quickly settled again when Annicka started to hum. It had always calmed them down, when she was either humming or even sang. She rose so she could see both of her children. She really didn't want to leave them, she could stay in here forever and just look at them. But Amber was settled down now and James was snoring happily so there was really no reason for her to stand here except the reason of love.
"Nicka?"
The quiet voice startled her and she spun around to see her husband Roland in the doorway. She looked back at the twins one more time before she went over to him.
"Yes?" She whispered.
"Nothing really, I was just curious on why you didn't return to bed." He answered.
"Aha, well our little girl was extra fuzzy tonight so it took time to settled her down again."
Roland nodded and then he turned her around and put his arms around her waist. Annicka smiled and laid her hands on his and then they just watched their beautiful twins from the doorway.
They really had been blessed.
