History of The Twins

## Date Started 5/23/2017

**"It all happened so long ago. I have regretted what I did at that time. I was world weary and badly hurt inside. I was a wandering Bardess and Healer at the time. Please keep that in mind as I tell this tale. Also please do not interrupt for I am not sure that I can repeat it."**

**Lady Rosewoode spoke to the Twinsas she leaned back in the chair as the fire burned, giving off a far away scent of yesteryears. As the scent became stronger, a picture formed in the fireplace.**

**"I was walking in the forest one day. I had not slept for several days as was my custom when I worried over a problem. I could and had saved and cured many people but why could I not heal my own heart, I did know why. Exhausted I sat down on the ground beside a log. I fell forward onto the log, weeping in the silence of the night.**

**How long I wept, I know not. I only know that a kind hand stroked my hair. When I looked up, I saw a very handsome stranger and was very moved for even tho his hand was rough and calloused, his manner was gentle.**

**'Is there something that I can be of service to you, miss?' He spoke softly.**

**'No, I'm afraid not, kind sir. I am only weary.' I told him. But not what I was weary of. We talked and I found out that his wife could not become pregnant for some reason. I offered to help if I could. He said that he would put me up in the spare bedroom if I would do what I could for her.**

**He took me to a lovely cabin further into the woods. He took me to his wife who acted skeptical of me. She showed me the spare bedroom which was connected to their bedroom so I was told not to come thru those doors. I said only if I was asked, would I come thru them. After all one doesn't know when help was needed in this world.**

**I went to bed soon after wards and slept thru the night, the next day and woke up the following morning. It was my way of healing my body but not my torn heart. I went into the kitchen after I cleaned up and dressed. I found her busy with breakfast makings and so I helped her. She did seemed pleased about my help even tho I had slept so long.**

**Time went on and I knew the problem. The wife's body could not make eggs. He devastated and so was she. She asked if I would bear a child for her. I said to let me think a while. In a few days time I agreed reluctantly. I could become pregnant at will for I have the knowledge and the power. But since my heat was not into it, I couldn't bring myself to become so. I was unhappy that I couldn't perform like a circus animal. I went for a long walk. He found me walking alone and asked if he could speak to me. I nodded sadly. He asked if I was uncomfortable when we had tried to make a baby and if so why. I told him the truth. I should not have promise what I could not do but at the time I didn't know that I couldn't do it. I just couldn't release an egg to be fertilized.**

**He pulled me into his arms and held me with one strong arm while the other rubbed my back gently. He began to kiss my neck softly.**

**'I have loved you from the day I saw you weeping in the forest. I love you Rose and I love Heather too. I want both of you. I know that I am being greedy but I don't want to live my life without either of you.'**

**I looked up in surprise and he took me down to the ground on a patch of soft grass.....We made love several times that afternoon. On the last time I released a waiting egg and the fertilization took place. I had lost my tight control. I have regretted it many times. Not for having more children but for what happened later on.**

**We went back to the cabin. He tole Heather that we would all three be sleeping in the same bed so that she could get pregnant better. He was so firm that she didn't make any protest. He made the front parlor into her own bedroom and decorated the way she wanted. I still had the old bedroom with old mismatched items but they were quite serviceable.**

**Things went along fine until I had my first round of morning sickness 2 weeks later. Things were rough for she had smelled her husband on me and in me if understand what I mean. One night I could not take her crying about the unfairness of life. I gave her an egg in hopes that they would make love even if I had to leave for a while. I left them alone and the egg was fertilized. A couple weeks later she began to get sick. She then did what ever she could to get out of work. Finally after I was 8 months along and was nearly ready to loose you Zane, I called it quits. I refused to eat, cook, clean or do anything in the main house. I also didn't sleep with them again. Thomas was badly hurt by my actions. I had hurt him very bad. He went out and found a midwife for Heather. He told me that since I didn't want to share the bed, the midwife wouldn't be shared. I would have to provide myself with my own. I turned away from him. I was not only stunned but hurt for I had fallen deeply in love with him.**

**Several weeks passed and on the same night, both of us went into labor. I tried to tell Thomas but he wouldn't listen. The midwife sneaked in and saw that I was in the end time of my labor and would have my baby way ahead of Heather. He still wouldn't listen and give in. I was the one who delivered you Zane. I heard her screams in the next room and decided that I would swallow mine. I wouldn't be such a wimp.**

**The next day while I carried you in a sling, I made a camp fire and was cooking some bacon and eggs for my breakfast. Thomas came out and wanted to take some to Heather for the midwife went home early morning. I said no for I needed the food so I could nurse you. He went away. A couple days later he brought little Thomas to me saying that Heather couldn't bear feeding him any more. I accepted you and feed you right along with Zane for about 6 months. Finally I over heard that Heather thought that I was hogging the babies too much. She didn't get a chance to play with them. I set each of you down in your cribs and turned to Thomas and Heather. I told them I was the one who not only fed them but bathe them change their diapers and wash the stinking diapers as well as the one who did the cooking and cleaning in this house. I will gladly give Heather the full responsibility of my duties. Use bottles for the babies. I stormed out of the cabin with tears flowing down my eyes. Thomas came after with a broom and told me not to forget my broom so I could fly away."**

**The fire began to die down and a last picture was there to be scene. I was silent.**
