Chapter 469: No More Kids?
The Rosandale Royal family had a tradition. Every time there is a birth in the Royal family, the parents will come to the stairs of the Jordar wing of the hospital and will pose with their newborn to share the news.
Cordelia did that with the birth of her two sons just hours after the birth. Arthur never liked that tradition and called it regressive to make a woman who went through labour stand in front of a bunch of strangers and to even include the little baby in that showcasing event.
But Talia differed in opinion. The curiousity of the people that stemmed from their love towards the royals cannot be dismissed as a showcasing event. Like how her family wants to see her and the babies as soon as they are born, the people want to have a glimpse at the mother and baby so that they can be happy with them. Just like their wedding is not a spectacle, this too is something joyous they share with others.
But in Talia’s case, since her babies are still in incubators, they cannot be shown to the public immediately. The Palace was trying to handle the situation. Since Talia is loved by a lot, a big crowd had gathered and they were all worried for her. Even after the announcement of the birth, they still wished to have a glance at the Princess so that they can be at peace.
Talia had a short rest when her great-grandma came to visit her along with her grandfather. Talia was happy seeing the joy in their faces.
"Did you see the babies?" Talia asked.
"Yes, they’re so little and we can hold them after some days," Jerome Brunton placed a kiss on her forehead. "I still remember the day I held you when you were born...You were so small and I feared I might squish you... And now you gave birth to little ones and they are even littler than you... How time flies!" he wiped the corner of his eyes and looked at Arthur who was sitting by her side.
"Artie... so what have you planned? You’ve got a boy and a girl. Isn’t it time for you to-"
"Grandpa!" Talia interjected. She understood what her grandpa implies. "Why should he decide about that? It should be our combined decision. We’ve already decided to have four children. Fred... Tell him," she looked at Arthur and he blinked pursing his lips.
