The next few months had been incredibly hard on Rapunzel. Her stomach had swelled to the point where she thought it was going to explode. Her morning sickness seemed to die down but she had the occasional pains to her stomach. The baby would often kick and feeling as if it would squirm about. As the months came and went, Rapunzel missed Eugene dearly. She didn't imagine the months without him to be so hard. They really took a toll on her.

Life wasn't too much easier for Eugene either. Luckily enough, he hadn't been injured too horribly. A few cuts and bruises. Nothing to major. They had made it much closer to the kingdom's borders then they had anticipated. Eugene was excited for this. The closer they got, the sooner he would be able to make it home to his love.

Throughout those months, they two had shared letters as often as they could. Rapunzel would always fret over his well being, and Eugene would always ask about the baby. The pair had discussed numerous names over their letters. Rapunzel always wondered why they hadn't discussed this before he had left. But at least they were able to finally decide on acceptable names.

At least the letters exchanged between each other was able to relieve some tension and keep both of their hopes high.

It was finally time. Rapunzel didn't expect the day to be today. She had attacked the day like any other day. It wasn't around dinner time until everything had started. After they had finished eating, Rapunzel got up to leave to her chambers for the night which is when it started.

Everything happened in a blur. Her mother was quickly at her side to help prepare for the pain she was about to feel. The Queen ordered her husband to fetch some maids and towels as she hurried Rapunzel to the Royal Physician's office.

Once getting her settled onto the bed, the Queen sat behind Rapunzel, gently cradling her head. Now, more then ever, did Rapunzel wish it was Eugene comforting her. Eugene there to hold her hand.

The King had finally made it back before being ushered out of the room. The door was abruptly closed and locked.

The hours seemed to drag by for everyone in the castle. It wasn't until the sun had come up that the long process was finally over.

The Princess had not only been blessed with one baby, but two. A healthy little boy and girl. From much letter discussing with her husband, Rapunzel already had the names chosen.

They had chosen Alys Mae Fitzherbert for the little girl.

And simply Henry Fitzherbert had been decided for their small boy.

It was hard to find a middle name that had smoothed in with Henry and Fitzherbert. It wasn't easy to find one. Maybe the would be able to discuss it when Eugene had returned.

Despite being fatigued, Rapunzel couldn't find the will to sleep after such a long birth. She held her babies in her arm. They were beautiful and Rapunzel already loved them with all her heart. She wished Eugene was here. To be able to see the sight of their gorgeous children. Surely he would make some comment on how he produce such amazing children. A smile cracked on her face at the thought of it.

Rapunzel couldn't wait to write a letter to Eugene about this. She only wished she would be able to see his reaction to this.

After a few weeks, Rapunzel had quickly recovered from the painful process of childbirth. She no longer tended her lessons as her focus was on her children. It was hard to get a moment to herself, but it hardly bothered her. The babies weren't too loud for the most part. The only one who made a scene was Alys.

A few days after the birth was when Rapunzel was able to finally write Eugene. She told him everything. The pain she felt during it, the threats and cries she made for Eugene, the long amount of time she spent in pain, then of course of the children themselves.

She told him that Alys was turning out to look a bit like him. The same hazel eyes and straightened nose. She couldn't say about her hair, considering they were both infants. Rapunzel had told him about Henry. Who possessed her eyes and slight button nose. Rapunzel though little Henry looked adorable.

Though Eugene might not say the same.

It didn't take long for the letter to arrive. In a matter a few days, Eugene had gotten the letter. He hadn't been happier. Eugene sat on a tree stump, near the tents that had been set up. He had the read the letter, almost ready to burst with joy.

Eugene was so overjoyed to hear that Rapunzel had finally given birth. And to twins. He hadn't felt happier. He wished he could have been there. To see them, but that time would come soon enough.

The idea of a family seemed to sit so happily in his mind. It made his heart feel silly things that he was sure that Flynn Rider would never approve of. Not that it had mattered. Eugene didn't notice the knot in his throat and the slight tears welling in his eyes. Eugene Fitzherbert was not a man to cry.

Though he was caught in such a state by one of his good friends, Philip. Eugene stood up as the soldier had walked over to him. A slight chuckle left the man's throat at Eugene's state.

"And what you are getting all teary-eyed over?" He asked, clearly amused. He was ready to commit to some teasing about this. Eugene simple rolled his eyes and let out an amused laugh.

"My wife gave birth to two healthy babies." Eugene replied, patting the solider on the back. He left the sight before heading over to the table to write her back. The message was a bit longer then he had wanted but Eugene shrugged it off.

After sending it off, Eugene was instructed to gear up and prepare to head back out into battle.
