[Wynter McKonovick]

---

Wynter lay in the huge bed and groaned softly,she had been having contractions all day but had insisted that Lady Annawen slow them down until William could arrive.

"Where is he...?,"she asked herself as she rolled onto her side and looked out the window,her right hand clenching the pillow as her left hand rubbed her stomach,trying in hopes to calm the two within her.

"I am sure he will be arriving soon m'lady...,"Lily said as she placed a cold wash cloth on her mistresses forehead,"he almost missed Henry's birth Lily,"Wynter said as she cringed in pain,"I know m'lady...but he made it just in time didn't he...,"Lily said as she stepped back and looked down to her,concern crossing her face,"I will go down and speak with Lady Annawen...you rest please m'lady..,"she said as she turned and headed down into the kitchen where Lady Annawen was with the children.

Stepping off the teleporter Lily moved into the kitchen where she heard the sounds of four excited children,"Lady Annawen may I speak with you privately..,"she said as all four children turned to look at her,"is momma ok Miss Wily?,"Henry asked as he moved to her and tugged on her kimono,"of course Henry..we just need to find your poppa...,"she said as Lady Annawen nodded her head and stepped outside,"now you wait here and eat with Sashi ok...,"she said as he nodded his head and moved over to sit back down at the table,allowing her to step out into the hallway with Lady Annawen.

"Whats the trouble Lily?,"Annawen asked as Lily sighed softly,"perhaps we should send out someone to find Lord William...,"she said as Annawen nodded,"I was just thinking the same thing...I'll send for Sierra and Miyu...,"she said as Lily nodded and moved towards the teleporter.

"I will go tell her now..,"she said as Annawen nodded and called for her personal guard who arrived promptly and bowed deeply to her mistress,"send for Ladies Sierra and Miyu...tell them to come at once..,"she said as her personal guard nodded and disappeared.

"Momma...,"she heard her eldest son call,"yes Sashi what is it?,"she asked as she turned around and looked down to the younger image of her husband,"Henry is asking for his momma and poppa...,"he said as Annawen nodded and moved into the kitchen to try and comfort the small boy.

No sooner than she had left then Mariam returned with a nod of her head to her mistress she once again faded from sight,"You sent for me Annawen?,"Miyu asked as she removed her helm and placed it under her arm.

"Hai...let us wait for Sierra then we will speak..,"she said as she nodded to her own nanny who took Henry's hand and led him into the playroom with the others.

"Well wait no longer my dear cousin...,"Sierra said as she stepped out of the stall and moved to stand next to Miyu,"what is so urgent that you called me away from a good hunt...?,"she asked as Annawen narrowed her eyes at her younger cousin.

"Hold your tongue Sierra..,"she said rather sternly causing Miyu to raise an eyebrow at her cousin's wife's tone,"is something wrong? Have you heard from Ashi?,"Miyu asked her voice filled with concern and fear,"no no no..its not Ashi...I can feel his life force and he is well...,"she said causing Miyu to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Then what is it?,"Miyu asked after she placed her helm into her bag,"I need you to find Lord William...Lady Wynter grows weaker by the moment and I am afraid I cannot hold off the births much longer...,"Annwen said as they both nodded.

"I'll look in Buc's Den..,"Miyu said as she moved out to where she had tethered LK and climbed onto her back as Sierra called for Karma who jumped the stall door and trotted to his mistress,"I'll go to Jhelom...my bets are he is there..,"she said as she watched Miyu recall out.

"Tell him I said to hurry....,"Annawen said her tone once again stern,"Wynter needs him..as does his son..,"she said as Sierra recalled out then reappeared in Jhelom,"the Warrior's guild Karma..,"she said as her mare snorted and raced off towards the building.

Reining him in she slid from her mount and raced inside,sliding to a stop as she heard his voice coming from his office,"I knew it..,"she said as she moved to the door and knocked softly.

"Come in..,"he said as she turned the knob and stepped inside,"M'lord...your presence is requested at Alliance Hall..,"she said as William raised an eyebrow then nodded his eyes suddenly going wide,"...Wynter..,"he mouthed to himself then looked to the two guards seated infront of him.

"You have your orders...do them...I must go and be with my wife..,"he said as he followed Sierra outside and called for his mount as Sierra herself slid back onto Karma's back.

"Vas Rel Por..,"Sierra said softly opening a gate that would take them directly to the Alliance Hall.

As they stepped through William quickly dismounted and rushed inside,leaving Sierra standing outside with her nightmare,"I am so glad Druss wasn't that bad when Starlee was born...,"she said as tethered him and moved inside.

Annawen looked up to the door as it burst open,"what on earth?,"she asked as Wynter herself turned her head and looked to the door.

"Love!!!,"she said as he smiled and nodded,"yes love...I am here...,"he said as he kneeled down beside her and took her hand just as the potions began to wear off.

Screaming in pain she looked to her husband and growled,"I HATE YOU FOR THIS..YOUR NEVER TOUCHING ME AGAIN!!!,"she screamed at him causing him to look down at Anna who was hiding a smile on her lips.

"Please tell me she doesn't mean that..,"he said as Anna shook her head,"no but you must help her push William...,"she said as he nodded and helped his wife to sit up,"push love...,"he said as Wynter pushed and screamed,"get them out of me...,"she said as Anna leaned down and eased the first one into the world,her cries filling the room.

"A daughter...,"she said as William kissed his wife's forehead,"Claudette Grace...,"she said as William nodded his head in agreement.

Handing off the newborn to Lily Annawen then handed William a damp cloth,"here wipe her forehead....the second may wish to take his or her time...,"she said as Wynter screamed again and grabbed her husband's robe,"YOU ARE NEVER EVER TOUCHING ME AGAIN!!!,"she said as Annawen raised an eyebrow,"maybe not...,"she said as she looked to Wynter,"push m'lady...,"she said as Wynter let go of her husband and began to push again,her screams of pain once again filling up the room.

"William help her sit up..,"Annawen said as William nodded his head and did as he was asked,"you don't mean that my love...,"he said as he kissed her cheek gently,"THE HELL I DON'T!!!,"she said as the second child's cries filled the room,"another girl..,"she said as Annawen once again passed the child to Lily who had already cleaned the first one and was now working to clean this one while Annawen proceeded to clean up Lady Wynter.

"Lay her down William..,"she said as he eased his wife back onto the bed and looked over to where Lily was with his twin daughters,"love we must name her...,"he said as Wynter nodded tiredly."Calista...Calista Beryl...,"she said as William nodded his head,"Annawen go tell everyone of their birth...,"he said as Lily brought them over and laid them in their mother's arms gently.

"Of course m'lord..,"she said as she bowed low and took Lily's arm,"come child...lets leave them alone..,"she said as Lily nodded and moved out of the room,leaving her Lord and Lady alone with their newborn daughters.
