In a world where powers and abilities existed people were respected based on their power although not everybody had powers and abilities,the ones that had were highly respected.
The palace was in utter chaos as the maids rush to and fro to meet the demands of their mistress who was currently in labour.
Cries were heard from the room the mistress was in as she was aided by the midwife in giving birth. Her pink hair sticking all over her body as it mixed with sweat. "Rose, listen to me take a deep breath and push,close your eyes."
The midwife told the labouring woman. With a weak nod the woman did so,closing her teary emerald green eyes she let out a scream and pushed, the ground shook as she did so and as the first baby came out wailing loudly, she let out a sigh of relief."Let me see my baby" all Rose wanted was to see her child and she was given the child, a wide smile spread over her face as she looked at the baby, he had his father's brown hair and her emerald eyes and pale pink lips.
She was about to talk when another spasm of pain washed over her." I am not done yet Anna." The midwife looked at the woman gathering some courage,"Rose don't worry just repeat the process I told you" The Midwife looked at Rose's teary eyes all she wanted was for her prayers to be answered that both babies and their mother would make it alive.
Two days later.
"Aaah"Rose exhaled as the second child came out, she exhaled, it was over now. "Hand me my baby, Anna" "Yes Rose "
The midwife looked at the baby sadly she knew the consequences of a twin being born on a different day and to make matters worse he had no resemblance to either of the parents, she feared the worse for the baby and her fears were confirmed when a scream was heard from Rose's mouth.
"Take it away" She looked at her baby with utter disgust "get rid of it,I never want to see it".
Her wishes were granted as the Midwife with tears in her crystal blue eyes carried the baby who stopped crying and instead began playing with her long blonde hair.
"you heard what she said,discard the child"and that's what happened the child was discarded deep in the forest with the hope that it would serve as food to the wild creatures.
Three days later
The master of the house came back he had heard the good news of the birth of his children and he wanted to see his bundles of joy before going back on his journey.
He entered the house to be met with a familiar woman with mid length brown hair and dim teal eyes, it was the head maid bowing to him as a sign of welcoming his arrival.
"Greetings master"
"Same to you too Mira,where is the young madam?" He looked at her.
"She is in her room , If you wish I could lead you there."
"No need I know where to find her".
The master left to his wife's room and upon opening it he saw her cuddling a baby as she rocked it to sleep,he could see the baby's curly dark brown hair and his emerald green eyes, the baby was adorable, without making noise he walked towards her.
It seemed she had not noticed him because she still had her back facing the door,he wrapped his arms around her startling her,a shaky breath escaped her lips.
"Mark, what are you doing here?", she didn't meet eye contact with him as she didn't want him to see her on the verge of crying but her voice wavered at the end giving her emotions away.
"Rose,I'm sorry for everything I should've been there but I wasn't I failed I know,please forgive me"
his voice was shaky she knew he was holding back the tears.
"Mark, I forgive you, here's our baby, what shall we name him"
He looked at her "how about Kim?"
I was thinking Tyler" she giggled, then it struck her" how about Kyle?"
He raised her up and spun her before bringing her down.
"Kyle Hamilton,it's perfect" He looked at her before speaking "where's the other child",her expression changed from happy to disgust within a matter of seconds.
He knew he shouldn't have asked the question after all he had never been there for her from the beginning when he heard the news of the pregnancy till now when she had delivered but his curiosity pricked him.
He had heard that his wife had delivered twins but she only introduced one child to him, he wanted to know what had happened to the other child and why such an occurrence might have taken place.
"It's gone"She looked at him waiting for any signs of anger but she didn't see any so she continued "
"Mark you need to understand, it was born two days after Kyle was born and he didn't look like any of us" he looked at her.
"I understand,the end of it all is that I have you and Kyle and I wouldn't give it up for anything"
She squealed then jumped on him hugging him. Mark was happy at least he reconciled with Rose but something couldn't just leave his mind ,
"What would happen to the other child, it was his child after all", this thoughts ran around his mind.
"I pray the child doesn't die, "he begged in his mind that fate would allow him to see his second child again.
Snapping out of his thoughts he looked at his wife, she had gone through so much without him and if she decided she didn't want that second child, he had no say in it.
"Mark,come on let's get you something to eat", she led him to the dining room after putting Kyle in his cot, when she got there she served him his food which he ate silently. Throughout their quiet eating he stole quick glances at Rose.
"Rose,thank you so much for giving me a lovely family".
He didn't need her response as her lips stretched out into a smile.
