"I-.... I can't do it," Nathaniel cried out, falling to the ground, his head in his hands

"Yes, you can, Nathaniel. Me and Ro will be here for you,"

"I-im sorry. So sorry," Nathaniel apologize, sobbing

He knows he should care for his daughters, but how can he when he lost the love of his life just two hours ago and his twin daughters will represent Katherine.

"Okay. How about you meet them so you could be the first one to hold them and to name them?" Isla asked, hoping Nathaniel would say yes

Nathaniel stared at the ground and looked up at Katherine, "I'll go see them for you and give them the names of your choice. I'm sorry for not being able to take care of them. I'm a horrible father and if you were here, alive, you would yell at me," A smile surface on his face

"Come on, Marquess Nathaniel," Ro said, placing his hand on his shoulder

Nathaniel placed his hand on top of Ro's and stood. He held onto Ro's hand and followed Isla to the nursery. Wails could be heard from infants to children to adults and elders. Why did the hospital have to be depressing? 

"We're here, Marquess Nathaniel," Isla said, standing outside the door

"Please, don't call me Marquess. We're friends," Nathaniel said

"Okay. Do you want to go by yourself or should I go with you?" Isla asked

"Could you come with me, Isla? I don't think I could survive in there," Nathaniel asked

"Of course. Now, come on. We cant let your daughters be nameless forever," Isla grabbed Nathaniel's hand and went inside the nursery. 

A nurse accompanied them to the twins. Nathaniel froze when he saw them, the twins were asleep. He wanted to hold them and love them, but it seemed a part of him didn't feel like he had the right to do that.

"Come on, Nathaniel. You need to name them," Isla said, pulling him closer to the bassinet 

Nathaniel stood beside the bassinet, watching over them. The nurse picked up one of the twins and hold her out to Nathaniel. Nathaniel hesitated, but held her in his arms. He looked down at her, amazed that this child was his and Katherine's daughter. 

"That's the first born you are carrying," The nurse stated, "Would you like to hold your second born?"

Nathaniel nodded, handing the first born to Isla and grabbing his second born and holding her in his arms. 

"They're precious," Isla said, gently rocking the first born

"Esther and Elliana," Nathaniel said, looking down at Esther, his second born then at Elliana, his first born, who was in Isla's arms

"Beautiful names. Katherine would be happy," Isla said, standing beside Nathaniel

Kana's P.O.V.

"She's dead!" Kana screamed in delight

Oslo sat on the bed, his hands shaking. He killed her. He didn't mean too. He just wanted to get rid of Nathaniel and keep Katherine to himself. 

"Oslo, we should celebrate. Our lives are saved," Kana said, grabbing his hands

"Just leave me alone, Kana," Oslo said, yanking his hands out of her hold

"Are you upset, Oslo? We don't need to worry about anything now. We can focus on ourselves and our baby," Kana said, grabbing his hand and placing it on her stomach

Oslo stared at her stomach and rubbed it, "This child will be a new start for us,"
