The Night Everything Fell Apart

Chapter 12: How Many Babies are we Having? and What should we name them?

Mary POV

Two nurses come in and hold my legs up, while Nostradamus puts a sheet over my lower body.

Now, Mary, I'm gonna just slip off your underwear, then I'm gonna put my hand up there and look around, okay?" he asks me, I just nod.

"She says okay," Francis tells him.

Thank god, for Francis!

Nostradamus POV

I slip Mary's underwear off and quickly grab my tool that helps me see the baby or babies.

I start my procedure and I start to look around and I see five babies.

After I gently slip her underwear back on and then I took the sheet off and slip her nightgown back down. Francis gets up and gently covers her back up and then sits on the bed.

"Well, how many do we have?" Francis and Mary ask me. "Well, you're going to have Quints. Which means you have five babies in you." I tell them and they each have the biggest smiles on their faces. "Francis, we're going to have Quints!" Mary says.

I leave quietly.

Mary POV

I can't believe it!

We're going to have Quints!

"Mary, I'm so proud of you!" Francis says, holding my hand. "I can't wait to see them!" I tell him.

"Me too! Now, how about we think of five for the girl and five names for boys." Francis asks me, I nod. " "I hope we have four girls and a boy," I tell him. "Me too," I tell her.

"Okay. Now let's think." I say, he nods.

After twenty minutes, I think of the perfect names. "Francis, I think I got it," I tell him. "Go ahead," he tells me.

"Well, for the girls first, middle and last names: Annalise Stuart Valoir, Ava Stuart Valoir, Anna Stuart Valoir and Amelia Stuart Valoir.

For the boys first, middle and last names: Alexei Stuart Valoir, Heir to the throne What do you think?" I ask him.

"They're perfect! The perfect names, for our perfect and beautiful kids," he tells me.

I nod and for the rest of the day we talk about our babies and then we fall asleep, snuggling.

Morning

Francis POV

I wake up and see that's, Mary's still asleep.

I just smile and gently kiss her forehead. "Good Morning!" I tell her.

"Good morning, handsome," she tells me and I just smile.

"Did Nostradamus already put on your pain cream?" I asked her and she nodded.

"Francis, I'm three months today!" she says with a huge smile. I lean down and kiss her on the lips. A little later, Nostradamus comes in. "Mary, you can leave the infirmary today. But lot's of rest and me, your ladies or Francis will be putting on your cream," he told her and she nodded.

After he left, a few maids came in and started to pack Mary's things up. I adjusted Mary's wheelchair because it can go back so that she's laying down. After I adjusted it, I laid her pillows down and then, I gently and carefully picked her up and layed her down.

Thank god, our new chambers by the infirmary.

I take her back and before I put her back in bed, I pull the covers back and lay the pillows down for her to lay on, just like Nostradamus told me to do. After, when I bend down Mary wraps her arms around my neck and I pick her up. I lay her down on the pillows, but before I cover her up, I lay her on her side and pull her nightgown up and rub her cream on her back. Then, I pulled her nightgown back down and layed her back down on the bed.

I turn to leave, so she can sleep. "Francis?"I hear her say. "Yes, Mary?" I ask, turning around and walking up to her. "Will you stay with me until I fall asleep?" she asks me. "Of course," I tell her. I climb into the bed and lay on my side, facing her. After about twenty minutes of me singing her to sleep, she falls asleep. I quietly leave the room and after I go out the door, her ladies come up to me. "Francis? How is she?" they ask me. "She's fine and so are the Quints. She's asleep right now, so when you go in be quiet." I tell them and they nod. "Francis, what do you mean Quints?" Lola asks me. "We're having Quints!" I say with a huge smile.

"Did you pick names yet?" Kenna asks me. "Yes, we did. For the girls Annalise Stuart Valoir, Ava Stuart Valoir, Amelia Stuart Valoir and Anastasia Stuart Valoir.

And for the boys' names are Alexei Nikolaevich Romanov Stuart Valoir, Heir to the throne."I tell them and they all have huge smiles. "Francis, those are perfect!" they all say. "I know. Mary picked them out." I tell them and with that, I left and they all went into our chamber.

I went to my study and saw my mother and Bash.

"Hello mother, Bash," I say as I lean down and kiss mother's cheek,

Then sit down at my desk.

"How's Mary and the baby?" my mother asks me. "Well actually, we're having, Quints," I say and they gasp then have huge smiles on their faces. "Oh Francis, that's wonderful! I'm gonna be a grandmother of 5!" she says, coming up to me and giving me a hug. "Francis, congratulations! I can't believe I'm gonna be an uncle to 5!" he says, also coming up to me and hugging me.

{Ps. Next Chapter I'm gonna skip to the birth.}
