Two Months Later:

Ester was currently gripping Daphne's hand, as she screamed out into the room. Violet on the other side of Daphne holding her other hand. Daphne was in the current position no woman ever wanted to be in. Child labor.

Daphne was doing rather well, Ester believed Daphne was holding her own rather well.

"AH!" Daphne screamed, as the doctor reminded her that with just one more push her baby would be born. So with a determination and a motivation like never seen, Daphne gave one more fierce push and out came the cry of a newborn babe.

Daphne slumped under Ester and Violet letting her body finally relax after one full day of intensive labor. Ester wiped Daphne's brow and Violet helped clean the baby who had rather loud lungs.

"It's a boy!" Violet whispered to Daphne, handing her the beautiful boy.

"Do you have a name in mind?" Ester said, beaming at the little bundle in Daphne's arms.

"Simon and I have decided on the name of David." A tear slipped out from Ester's eyes, one matching the one that came out of Violet's.

"Now I have three beautiful grandchildren!" Violet said ecstatic. Ester smiled and thought back to when her babes was born three months prior. That's right, Ester Bridgerton gave birth to twins. A rare pregnancy but when she remembered that her great grandmother was a twin it all made sense.

Ester and Anthony still had a lot to work on, with their marriage. Having her two beautiful, healthy children however made everything worthwhile.

"I'm going to go tell Simon the happy news." Daphne nodded. Ester provided mother and daughter with some alone time.

When she made her way down to the living room where everyone was eagerly waiting, a smile spread on her face. "Simon, you have a beautiful son named David." Simon jumped at the idea and immediately ran to his wife.

"Well I daresay Hastings has changed a lot." Benedict said, bouncing a beautiful baby boy named Jacob. Who was proudly named after Ester's father.

"I'll second that!" Eloise said, cradling and hugging on her other nephew--Edmund. Who was named after Anthony's father. The two were totally different in features. Edmund had the blonde curly hair that Ester had, with Anthony's brown eyes. Leaving Jacob with dark pin straight brown hair and hazel eyes with freckles (no one knows where those came from) dotted all over his body.

"Mumumum" Edmund said, squiggling in Eloise's arms. Her babies were currently seven months old and could say two words: Mum and dog. That's right, Ester got herself a small Corgi puppy and it was obsessed with Edmund. Jacob however was rather silent but was exceptional at waving. Oh and creating chaos.

"Where is Anthony?" Ester said, looking around.

"He said he went to write Colin a letter, in Italy!" Ester smiled, it was true. Colin was having a marvelous time traveling on his tour. Ester was happy for him.

"Look at all of us.." Benedict said a smile on his face and he dipped Jacob upside down. "Surviving all of the Secrets and Scandals that came our way!" Ester chuckled, picking up her youngest twin.

"Oh, I doubt it's all over." Ester said. Without further ado a rather ominous knock sounded at the door.

This was included in case anyone forgot where season 1 and season 2 of Bridgerton in my stories were headed. Also I think I'm a "genius" I put a Corgi puppy in my story BEFORE even seeing/reading anything about the next season of Bridgerton. So kudos to me for having some sort of sixth sense about that LOL.
