(hehehe...good hint-catching!!;) )

"Two?!" Thura stopped, mid-breath. "Twins??" She hadn't even thought of that..she had just assumed the baby was big. Now, she wondered. The father had been tall, but she was very short, and so was her brother--and they themselves were twins. Normally twins skipped generations, but she knew her mother and grandmother had both been twins. Suddenly, it did make a lot of sense. Suddenly, a smile broke out on her face, the first that had been there in a long time. "Do you really think so?" But then her face clouded again. Twins would mean that the babies would be small...and this early, they might not live. She could not bear the thought of losing even one baby, especially with the father gone, but two would be torture.

Marthur sat silent, watching the play of emotions across her face. He knew her well enough now to follow the train of thought...and he did not like what he saw. He knew she feared for the babies, if there were two or if there was only one, but he feared more for her. He saw the look of grim resolution in her eyes, and knew what it meant. If she lost the baby (or babies, he reminded himself,) he would have to watch her all hours of the day, because she would most certainly attempt suicide.

He had been very grateful to whatever powers that be when she had discovered her pregnancy. It had finally given her a reason to live. She loved Sarinor, but he had suffered the same loss as she...and more...because his mate had never even risen yet. His kind weren't normally suicidal as long as their riders lived...but if this went bad enough he might panic, or even be willing should she ask him after the fact. Marthur gulped. He began hoping for all he was worth that whatever came out, one or two, would live.
