Pushing Through

"Umm..." the doctor stared at Talia and she felt her stomach twisting to a knot. 

"No, it's good news actually," the doctor smiled and only then Talia started breathing again.

"Congratulations, Your Highness... You're having twins and both the babies are doing great!" The doctor said in a cheerful voice and Talia shrieked out of happiness and looked at Arthur.

He was frozen!

"Fred!" she held his hand and he looked at her.

"Twins?" he was lost for words. 

When the doctor showed her the babies and let them hear the heartbeats of the little babies, Talia cried out of happiness. She felt different and she could feel Arthur gripping her hands hard. His eyes had turned red.

When they informed the family, everyone was joyous. On the way back and in her home as they ate lunch together, everyone seriously started discussing how the babies will look like.
