(4 months later- Right after Alanna's delivery)

Alanna was standing over the crib, smiling down on her two babies-one wrapped in a blue blanket, the other wrapped in green (she refused to allow her baby to be wrapped in pink)

Roger walked over. "How are they? Wait you should be resting… go sit down."

"I don't need any rest, I'm fine"

"Duke Baird! Alanna isn't resting!"

"Traitor" Alanna hissed "I deliver you an heir and heiress, and you turn me in to the healer"

"Alanna…what did I tell you about resting?"

"You said I only need to rest when I'm tired"

Duke Baird placed his hands on his hips "Alanna…"

"Come on Alanna, even I don't believe that"

Alanna sighed "You said I have to stay in bed for at least half a day, but 3 to 5 days of rest would be better"

"That's right now go and rest the children will be fine."

"Duke Baird, you don't understand. I can't spend 12 hours in bed without going insane"

"Back in bed before I order you to spend a full day in bed as a minimum"

"Fine… but if I go crazy it's your fault."

"I can live with that"

Alanna stuck her tongue out at Duke Baird

"Alanna listen to Baird, Gabriella and Anthony will be fine ."

"Fine. But I won't be happy about it"

"As long as you do it"

"I'm going to hurt you"

"Alanna. Bed. Now"

Alanna gave up and went to go rest

(3 hours later)

Jennaya and Elspeth came in

"Alanna! How are you?"

"How am I? How am I?"

"Uh-Oh…Alanna is mad"

"Alanna, now that you have delivered the children, anger management rules apply to you

"I know…and yes I'm mad! Let's see…after spending 9 months pregnant, I delivered two healthy babies, and then my husband along with Duke Baird are forcing me to spend at least 12 hours in bed!"

"You have twins!" Jennaya squealed

"Yes, both of which are asleep!"

"Oh…sorry"

"It's ok you didn't wake them up."

"So you feel like hearing news?"

"Sure"

"Well Elspeth thinks she may be pregnant and Lavan is leaving tomorrow."

"You're pregnant!"

"I'm not sure, I was going to talk to Duke Baird after this"

"Tell him I'm being a good little girl and I'm being bored out of my mind, just like he wanted."

"I will." Elspeth said giggling.

"So how about my news?" Jen asked impatiently.

"I'm sorry that you have to say good-bye to your fiancé so soon"

"Yes well I didn't say I'd have to say good bye."

"You're going with him!"

"Yep. And father is arranging it so that Elspeth, You, the twins, and-if she's pregnant-Elspeth's children can come out a month before the wedding."

"What about Roger and Alex?"

"No men allowed"

"What about your father, uncle, cousin, and brother?"

"They will arrive a week before the wedding-along with Roger and Alex. And Lavan has promised to give us plenty of time alone"

"Three weeks of no men?"

Jennaya nodded

"That will be amazing. But I'll miss you"

"Don't worry, 2 months will fly by"
