After such an intense, laborious event like giving birth to twins, Mother was understandably exhausted, drifting off to sleep with the two girls nuzzling into her arms, following behind her as they closed their eyes and joined her in sleep.
The Marquess and Countess shoo'd us out of the room moments later, the two laying beside Mother and shoring her up with more pillows and blankets, making sure she was comfortable as she got the rest she needed to regain her strength.
Jahi and I obviously wanted to remain inside and stare at our new siblings for a bit longer, but we acquiesced to their desires and left, returning to our own room - which had now been shifted to the third bedroom attached to the other side of this long hall that we were now calling home.
Whew~
