During Birth, Rachel was faced with the familiar pain once more sending her into a somewhat delirious state as nurse and maids where panicking and the midwife was telling her to push.

Alexander was next to her holding her hand with a pale face. He looked like he was watching his wife die, he was talking, and it looked like he was encouraging her or something. The Former King and Queen where just outside the door face's full of worry and excitement.

Rachel didn't no what he said or didn't fully process it before getting made "Alex if you don't shut up, I will jump from this bed, Even if I can help it" At that he locked up and jumped back but his hand didn't let go of hers.

"And He's out, Congratulations it's a boy." Said the Midwife standing up with the naked baby wrapped in a blanket and handed him to Alexander who joyfully accepted the bundle and showed Rachel who was still feeling birth pains.

"Something's wrong" Rachel breathed out with a frown "He's to skinny" she said, but just before anyone began to process what she said, Rachel suddenly screamed.

The Midwife panicked and went back towards that area she had a stunned expression "There's another one"

The former King and Queen walked in thinking they could see their newly born grandson just to freeze when they heard the midwife say there is another one. Alexander also froze with his wiggling son in his hand. That wasn't crying anymore but was clearly distressed.

Rachel couldn't help but laugh as she pushed "So, that's how it is" she grunted.

"Your majesty it's a Princess this time" Midwife said her face was glowing since she had never delivered twins before. The former King and Queen immediately rushed over; the Queen taken the infant princess with joy. A royal has never given birth to twins, the old couple almost couldn't contain their excitement as they gained two beloved grandchildren on the same day.

Rachel laughed once more at their sparkling eyes, she glanced to her frozen husband and then to the midwife who looked like her job was done. "You better get back down their" she commanded seriously startling everyone before she lightheartedly said "There is one more down there" she then breathlessly grunted holding onto the sheets.

The midwife was shocked as she saw another head, twins, but no triplets. She pulled the last one out and it was easier.

"Its another prince" The Midwife said in amazement and happiness and then handed the last child to the King. Once they were all out Rachel breathed easier. And felt dumb that she didn't expect this to happen, but right now that was on the least of her mind.

Alexander walked over to his parents that where holding his other children. He wanted to get a better look at their cute little faces, they were all now sleeping after a rough day. Once the triplets where cleaned up and in clothes they where returned to the room, quickly and efficiently. Alexander stayed by her side while the new grandparents didn't separate from the babies for an instant.

Rachel then reached under her pillow as she brought out a brown box from her shadows. She slowly sat up, she opened up the puzzle box revealing a lot of necklaces that had engravings on them. The theme between them is the same but the colors and names are different.

"These are?" Alexander asked looking at the unique jewelry.

"Their necklaces, Since I was in bed most of the time, I had made some and kept thinking about names. Lucky, I kept making extra so there is more then enough for the three of the them. Plus, the names are already engraved on them. So, lets choose some for them" She smiled

Alexander felt a tight squeeze in his heart, his wife was always thinking about his children. The Former King and Queen came closer and the four went on picking, choosing, arguing (a Little), for the names of the children.
