It was a cold night in the Winstor household. The two boys sat on the floor of the living room while their father stared out of the window, eager to hear the good news of another heir who would increase the family's influence in the realm.
Charles spoke in a worried tone: "Why is it taking so long to have this child? You two boys were quite light." But when he saw the boys' anxiety, he smiled and sat down on the floor between them, putting his arms around them and saying: "You are my greatest treasures and I hope you will be the best brothers to your sibling. Then he asked them: "Will the child be a boy or a girl?"
Arthur, whose abilities were better, could feel the life and answered proudly: "Papa... It is a girl".
Harry made a face of disgust and said: "Girls are weak... euwww"
They all laughed and he kissed their foreheads as he said this: "Girl or boy... we will love this child with all we have. Promise?"
They both nodded as he playfully ticked them.
Then suddenly the door opened and the midwife came out of the room, her eyes filled with horror at what had just happened. Charles stood up as soon as she entered and asked her: "Why do you look so gloomy? ". He paused and said in a broken voice: "Is it the child? How is Marie-gold, my wife? "
Before she could utter a word, he ran into the room and stopped looking horrified at what he had just seen.
