Marie knows that Lenore has made a valid point even if she doesn't want to admit it. She touches her hand to her stomach and think of the Royal babies in her stomach now. They are due anyday now and the nerves have caused her to go into false contractions before.

He is medium height with honey colored hair and chocolate brown eyes. Top of his class yet he is determined and brash. A very smart and dangerous opponent. His father Ivan was friends with her father.

A stabbing pain is felt from her lower abdomen and she feels terror stab and tear through her like a knife. "The twins, their coming" she screams as she clutches her stomach. "Take her to her bedchambers" Marcos orders just as she falls to the ground in pain.

Fifty six hours later and Marie lay in the bed white as a ghost and sweat dripping down her face. Eyes closed and breathing even you would think her asleep. She had just given birth to not one but two royal babies. The first born was a boy they decided to name Theodore Castillo-Flores and the second, a first born girl. They decided to name her Rosalinda Castillo-Flores. She barely go to hold them before her long time friend and servant ran off with her daughter. Seconds later her husband Nick ran off with their son, both to England.

Marcos just nods his head. He knows that political and economical situations have driven each country apart. Her cousin Queen Sofia is wife to King Edmund. The two were always thick as thives in their youth. It broke both of their hearts when their countries allegiances started putting a strain on their personal relationship.
