The drive to North Hollow was very silent except for the music playing softly through the speakers of the car. Kane and Selena sat in the backseat unusually quiet, nothing like their usual chatter and endless questions. I tried to cheer them up more than once, asking what they were excited about and reminding them that they were about to see a completely new place. I told them about the forests there, about the elders who would teach them stories and skills, ab

    Being on bed rest sounded considerably easier when Marianne first prescribed it. I had imagined quiet mornings, books, conversations with my children, and perhaps sneaking in a little work whenever Cassius wasn't paying attention. What I hadn't imagined was Cassius turning my bed rest into a full-scale operation where I wasn't trusted to walk three steps without an escort. Since coming home from the hospital, he had apparently decided that every object in the house was either too far away for me to reach or too dangerous for me to touch. My water was brought to me. My meals were brought to me. My books were brought to me. Even my pillows were adjusted whenever I moved too much. "I'm capable of moving a pillow," I told him that morning as he rearranged the cushions behind my back. "I know." "Then why are you doing it?" "Because I can." I stared at him. "That's becoming your favorite excuse." He smiled and kissed my forehead. "Get comfortable."

    The first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was the ceiling. The second was the heaviness in my body. Everything felt strangely slow, as though even breathing required more effort than it normally did. I blinked several times before remembering where I was. The hospital. My hand immediately moved toward my stomach, and panic rushed through me when I couldn't feel anything. "Cassius?" My voice came out weak. He was beside me instantly, his hand wrapping around mine. "I'm here." I turned toward him. His eyes looked exhausted, his hair disheveled, and there were dark circles beneath them that hadn't been there that morning. "The babies?" I whispered. He squeezed my hand. "They're okay." The relief that followed was so overwhelming that I closed my eyes. "They're okay?" "They're okay." He kissed my forehead. "Marianne checked everything. Their heartbeats are strong." I breathed out shakily. "Then why am I here?" Cassius didn't answer immediately. That

    The morning had started so normally that the fear that followed felt almost cruel. Sienna had been sitting beside me at breakfast, complaining about the eggs while simultaneously eating half of them. Nicholas was attempting to steal Kane's toast, Selena was telling him to stop, and Kane was trying to convince both of them that his plate was not communal property. I was barely listening to their argument because Sienna had suddenly gone quiet. I glanced at her and found her staring down at her stomach. "What?" I asked immediately. She looked at me and smiled faintly. "Nothing. They're moving." My expression softened. I reached across the table and placed my hand over hers. "Both?" She nodded. "I think so." I smiled and kissed her knuckles. Everything was fine. At least, that's what I thought.It happened less than an hour later. Sienna had gone upstairs to change while I remained in the study with Jackson,

    There were things about Sienna's pregnancy that no longer surprised me because this wasn't my first time watching her carry our child. I had already seen her pregnant. I had watched her carry Nicholas after that. I knew the way her energy changed as the months passed, the way her back began aching after standing for too long, the way she sometimes needed an extra moment before getting out of bed, and the way her appetite could change without warning. I knew which foods she liked when she felt sick and which smells could make her leave a room immediately. What was different this time was that I knew exactly what her body was being asked to do. She wasn't carrying one child. She was carrying two. And every time I looked at the curve of her stomach, I remembered that there were two little lives growing inside her, making this pregnancy more demanding than the ones I had witnessed before. That knowledge had made me attentive, but Sienna insisted I was becoming ridiculous.That morning was

    By the time I reached the point where my stomach had become impossible to hide, I had accepted that privacy inside my own house was officially over. My bump had grown considerably over the past few weeks, and apparently every person living under our roof had developed an opinion about it. Cassius was the worst. He touched my stomach constantly, sometimes with a purpose and sometimes simply because his hand seemed to find its way there whenever he was near me. Kane liked resting his head against it while telling the babies about his day. Selena treated my stomach as though it were a mysterious object that occasionally required investigation. Nicholas, however, had decided that the bump belonged to him. Every morning, he would toddle toward me, lift my shirt with absolutely no permission, place both hands against my stomach, and announce, "Babies." I had stopped trying to understand how he knew exactly where they were.

    The fear began with a dream.It was one of those dreams that felt far too real, the kind that left a strange weight behind even after waking. I was standing in a place I didn't recognize, surrounded by darkness so thick that I couldn't see beyond my own hands. I could hear babies crying somewhere ahead of me, two tiny voices calling for me, and every instinct inside me screamed that they were mine. I tried running toward them, but my feet wouldn't move. I screamed their names, but no sound came from my throat. Then I saw a shadow step into the distance, carrying two tiny bundles in its arms. I couldn't see the person's face. I only saw my babies disappearing farther and farther away from me. I tried to reach them again, desperately fighting against whatever held me in place. "No!" I screamed inside the dream. "Give them back!" The figure turned slightly, and one of the babies began crying harder. I woke up
