Audrina’s legs lay open, one leg propped up on the back of the couch and the other ankle held firmly by Willow. Between her legs sat Merci. She peered down looking for the baby’s head. Willow took out a leather glove and handed it to her to bite down on. Ceinwyn over looked the production and talked Merci and Audrina through each step.

”Breath in Audrina. Relax. Listen to Merci.” Ceinwyn spoke, standing back.

Audrina let out a cry of pain as Merci yelled,”Push!”

The first baby came out, but made no sound. Ceinwyn took the place of Willow as Willow took the baby and cleaned it off. ”Make it cry.” Ceinwyn demanded.

”Push!” Merci spoke again and Audrina pushed with all her might. This baby came much more easily and cried a horrific cry as it exited her mother’s body.

Beowulf entered the door. Audrina looked up to him, but had no energy or breath left to speak.

”What are they?” he spoke.

”Two girls” Willow retorted.

”Girls?” Beo frowned slightly. ”I was hoping for a boy.”

What will you name them?

”Atira Thormear” Beowulf said and then looked to Audrina for a second name.

”Julana” Audrina said, still breathing heavily.

Ceinwyn forced the children into Audrina’s arms, demanding she begin bonding with her children. As previously decided, the curse was also to be lifted this evening. No longer would Beowulf have to suffer. After tonight he would no longer feel a strong love for Audrina, or any love at all. However, their marriage would still stand firm as guaranteed by the curse Beowulf placed upon their vows. Sywen walked towards Audrina swiftly, ripping a hand out from under one of the babies and digging a deep gash in Audrina’s hand with a dagger.

”Blood from the wife” said Sywen as she walked over to Beowulf repeating the process on his hand, ”and blood from the husband.”

Audrina could not see much of what was happening as she lay on the couch. She could hear Sywen speaking, but had not the energy to speak or even try to get a view. After the ritual was finished Audrina watched Beowulf walk upstairs.

”Now you have two children to raise with a husband that no longer loves you” Merci spoke to Audrina.

”Let us hope that he just stays upstairs for the evening” Merci nodded in agreement.

Fellow Umbrans made their way in to see the newborn babies, but eventually the room became quite empty. Sywen was the only one to remain.

”This is a curse I cannot lift” Sywen laughed to herself.

”What curse?” Audrina asked.

”The curse of motherhood”
