*The next morning*

I spent the night next door to the Howards and I didn't sleep well because the baby has been kicking me all night and I was so excited for Anne's babies.

When I looked at the clock, it was 6:45 in the morning so I gave up on trying to sleep and struggled to get up from my bed.

When I finally got up, I went to the dresser and changed into my casual dress. Luckily, I don't have to wear a corset during my pregnancy... I feel so free.

I decided to walk around the town because my back was sore.

I also thought that walking would help me to gather my thoughts and to relieve the pain from my back.

People were coming out to do the chores when I was done walking and I joined the Howards for breakfast with Aunt Charlotte.

Anne is still resting and the babies are still sleeping together in their crib.

"Thank you for letting us to stay overnight, Mrs. Howard." Aunt Charlotte said.

"Oh no, Thank you for letting Emily come. Anne was so scared out of her mind and Emily being there helped her so much. Emily, thank you."

Mrs. Howard smiled at me. I nodded and smiled back.

"Now, I must go out and tell the horseman to prepare the carriage. We have to go home and continue our chores." Aunt Charlotte stood up and walked out.

Mrs. Howard began to collect the remaining dishes up and I stood up and took the plates.

"Emily, what are you doing?" Mrs. Howard asked.

"I'm helping you out, Mrs. Howard. After all, you let us stay with you and I thought I could help you to wash these dishes."

"Well, are you sure? You could sit down and take it easy."

"Mrs. Howard, I hate doing nothing. Now, let me help you." I said, taking the dishes to the sink.

Mr. Howard went out for the smoke and we started to wash the dishes.

We were chatting about everything when I heard someone entering.

I thought it was Mr. Howard so I turned around to ask Mr. Howard a question.

Well, I almost dropped my plate because it wasn't Mr. Howard. It's Gabriel.

"Gabriel!" I said in shock.

Gabriel was in shock to see me... especially in my pregnancy.

"Emily?" Gabriel says, looking at me up and down. "What are you doing here?" Gabriel says, putting down his gun near the door.

"Oh, Emily came to visit Anne. We got a surprise for you." Mrs. Howard said cheerily.

"What kind of surprise, Mrs. Howard?" Gabriel asked, staring at me and my belly at same time.

I felt self-conscious so I covered my belly.

"Well, hold on. I'll be right back." Mrs. Howard went into Anne's room.

While we waited for Mrs. Howard, there was an awkward silence between us.

Finally, Gabriel spoke up first.

"Emily... why you didn't tell us that you're with child?" Gabriel asked, shoving his hands in his pockets. Gabriel does that when he gets angry.

"Because I found out two months later after the burning of the church. I had no idea. Anyway, I decided to wait until Nathaniel comes back or the war was over."

I sigh heavily. "Please don't tell Nathaniel. I don't want him to worry about me and the baby."

Gabriel nodded.

"Right. I won't tell Nathaniel but shall I tell Father?"

"No, don't. I know that I'm not married yet and I'm with child. I know what everybody is thinking and I don't want Father to be ashamed of me. I got enough of that from the other town."

"I understand. How far along are you?"

"7 months. I believe that I'm having a boy. I hope it's a boy." I smiled and rubbed my belly.

Gabriel smiled. "Hey... can I at least get a hug from my sister?"

I nodded and Gabriel opened his arms wide. I walked into them and we hugged.

"It feels strange hugging you because of your belly."

I laughed. "Oh, I know."

Mrs. Howard came out and stood there.

We both looked at Mrs. Howard.

"Gabriel, Anne is ready to see you."

Gabriel nodded and walked into Anne's room. I followed him.

Anne is sitting up in bed with Elizabeth and Thomas in her arms.

Gabriel is shocked.

"Gabriel... we have twins!" Anne smiled.

"Oh my god..." Gabriel walked to her side and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"I've named them. This is Thomas Martin and this is Elizabeth Anne Martin. What do you think of the names?"

"Perfect. Can I hold Thomas?"

Anne nodded and Gabriel takes Thomas into his arms.

"Thomas has your eyes." Gabriel says, beaming all over.

"Do you want to hold Elizabeth?"

Gabriel nodded and gave her Thomas in exchange of Elizabeth.

"Elizabeth is so beautiful. Father's little girl." Gabriel says, kissing Elizabeth's head.

"Gabriel, she has your hair and your eyes."

Gabriel leaned over to Anne and kissed her softly.

"Thank you for giving me beautiful children." Gabriel said.

Anne smiled and they were talking softly together.

I decided to leave them in peace and took my packed bag. I hugged Mrs. Howard and Mr. Howard goodbye.

The horseman helped me get into the carriage and we went off.

I looked back and the Howards are waving at us.

Gabriel came out and waved at me with his hat.

I waved back.

I could still see the smile on his face as we move away further and further.

I know it's a short chapter but I wanted to show you guys how Gabriel reacted when he found out he had twins! Anyway, I will be posting up Chapter 33 on Sat.

Please don't forget to vote and leave a review! Thanks again!
