Fifty six hours later and Marie lay in the bed white as a ghost and sweat dripping down her face. Eyes closed and breathing even you would think her asleep. She had just given birth to not one but two royal babies. The first born was a boy they decided to name Theodore Castillo-Flores and the second, a first born girl. They decided to name her Rosalinda Castillo-Flores. She barely go to hold them before her long time friend and servant ran off with her daughter. Seconds later her husband Nick ran off with their son, both to England.
