Elowen gave a sleepy little hum before instinctively reaching beneath the blank her fingers around his, she asked quietly. “Why didn’t you try to get some rest?

Cassian gently tightened his hold around her hand, his voice warm enough to soothe her almos “Because I knew the first thing you’d want to see after waking up would be me

The answer made Elowen laugh softly through tears.

Cassian lowered himself closer and brushed away the moisture gathering at the corner of her eye with thumb. “What’s this? Crying again already? You’re a mother now?

Elowen smiled helplessly despite the tears in her lashes. “I honestly don’t know what’s wrong with me.”

Then another thought suddenly returned to her all at once. “Wait… I really did give birth to both a daughter and a son, didn’t I?”

Cassian nodded immediately. “You did. And you were incredible, Ella

At once, her attention shifted elsewhere. “Where are the babies?”

“They were just with the wet nurses,” Cassian explained patiently while shifting slightly aside so she could see farther into the room. “They’ve already been brought back. They’re sleeping now.”

The large decorative screen that had once stood beside the bed had been moved away earlier, leaving the center of the chamber open and spacious. In its place sat two carved wooden cradles near the hearth where warm candlelight flickered softly over the sleeping infants inside.

The sight stirred something impossible to describe inside Elowen’s chest.

The children had only been away from her for a short while, yet already she found herself aching to see them again.

Supporting herself against the mattress, she pushed herself upright despite the lingering weakness in her body. “I want to look at them.”

Cassian immediately moved to help her up carefully.

Wrapped in a pale sleeping robe, Elowen slowly crossed the chamber before leaning over the first cradle to study the tiny sleeping face inside. “This one really does look like me,” she murmured with unmistakable delight. Especially the eyes. He’s adorable.”

Even though she had already said the exact same thing earlier, Cassian still answered with the same patience as before. “That’s our son.

Elowen smiled quietly to herself before moving toward the second cradle.

The moment she looked down at the baby girl, the tenderness in her expression der

“This one looks much more like you. Cassian. Especially her lips.

Cassian’s gaze lingered on both mother and daughter for a moment before he smiled softly. “Ther your bule giri, Ella. We really have a daughter now. Are you happy?”

Elowen nodded at once. “Of course I am.”

As she spoke, she carefully reached out to touch the baby girl’s soft cheek with the tips of her fingers, and happiness shone so brightly in her eyes that it nearly overflowed.

Even now, the entire thing still felt almost unreal to her.

She and Cassian had children now.

Children who belonged to the two of them together.

“Cassian…

Something surfaced in her memory suddenly. “Before I fell asleep earlier, I think I heard magpies outside the window.

Cassian followed her train of thought easily. “I heard them too.”

That made Elowen smile immediately. “Then let’s call our daughter Poppy. Nina and Nikki actually came up with it together before, and I loved it the moment I heard it.”

Naturally, Cassian had no objections whatsoever. “Poppy,” he repeated softly with amusement warming his voice. “That’s perfect.”

Then he glanced toward the second cradle. “So what are we calling our son?”

Before Elowen could answer, the peacefully sleeping boy suddenly burst into loud crying powerful enough to ring through the entire chamber.

The abrupt sound startled Elowen so badly that her shoulders jerked sharply.

Cassian reacted on instinct, pulling her immediately against his chest in a protective embrace before she could steady herself properly.

Together, both of them turned toward the crying infant.

The boy’s voice was astonishingly loud for someone so tiny.

Naturally, the wet nurses and attendants waiting outside the chamber heard him immediately as well. A moment later, the door opened carefully, and several women entered as quietly as possible.

Yet the instant they stepped inside, all of them paused briefly after seeing the scene before them.

Her Grace stood wrapped in pale sleeping robes with a soft linen band tied neatly around her forehead after childbirth. Though traces of exhaustion still lingered in her complexion, warmth and happiness remained unmistakably visible around her eyes.

Beside her stood Cassian.

Tall and broad–shouldered beneath the candlelight, he remained close enough that the sharione figure seemed to shelter Elowen naturally within them.

The two of them stood together beside their children in such quiet harmony that the sight of the richly painted family portraits displayed in noble galleries.
