Caden gently supported Elara as they walked back to their bedroom, both still processing the surprising news. Elara's initial shock had given way to a flurry of thoughts about the future.
"I can't believe Selene is pregnant," Elara murmured, still a bit dazed. "And at the same time as us. Our child will be an aunt or uncle to Solan and Selene's baby. It's going to be quite the dynamic in the palace."
Caden chuckled softly. "It certainly will be. But think of the joy these children will bring. The palace will be filled with new life and laughter." He wrapped an arm around her, offering comfort and reassurance.
Elara leaned into his embrace, her mind swirling with the possibilities. "It's going to be a big change, but a welcome one. We'll need to prepare for two new members of the family."
Meanwhile, Solan was helping Selene to his room, both of them still coming to terms with the unexpected turn their lives had taken.
