Luna held her breath when she felt the hot stretch of her flesh and let out a guttural grunt.

She could feel a bit of pressure around her pelvis as if her babies were moving in that area.

When the old woman maneuvered their little forms back and forth to help them emerge fully, she was glad that it didn't feel painful compared to earlier.

The birth attendant had affirmed her assumption when she sensed a bit of tugging and pulling before she lifted one after another.

The moment was brief but intense that she tasted a sour tang in her mouth after fighting the strong urge to throw up.

She realized it was all worth it after she saw their heads covered in her blood.

The Angel, who assisted her childbirth by pressing the upper part of her abdomen to keep her in place, waved his free hand near her children's faces to suction the fluids that got into their nose and mouth and perform a short purification ritual after the successful endeavor.

The babies drew their first breath and the cool air in the Emerald Room, regulated by Archangel Ariel, had moved into their lungs.

Their loud cries were to be expected but she didn't think she would shed tears along with them too.

"I'm glad that this only lasted for about half an hour." The birth attendant said. "Unfortunately, this is only the beginning."

After that, she briefly showed Luna's babies over the drape on her open stomach before she cut the clamped umbilical cord near the navel, ending the babies' dependence on oxygen and nutrition from the placenta.

The old woman had checked any complications in them but found nothing.

Then, she held each held the babies upside down and counted their fingers and toes to check if nothing was missing.

The placenta was removed next, followed by sealing the single slash made in the uterus and the numerous layers that had been cut through to get through the baby.

Afraid that her babies would disappear in the blink of an eye, Luna never let them out of her sight after their successful extraction out of her womb.

The moment Luna's children were born, it was as if only sunshine existed in the world.

As if the Autumn Kingdom was already ushered into harmony.

Her limbs tingled with warm excitement and all the tension in her muscles seemed to have relaxed.

It turned out that her brain didn't hold unto that pain because her heart overflowed with happiness as she watched the little girls.

Closing up everything was the longest part of the operation since the emerald phython's venom made the process even slower.

They had to wait about an hour and half for it to wear off so that her vampire skin could stitch her open flesh close.

In the end, the long hours of enduring such a harrowing experience merely turned into a few minutes in their memories.

"You did well." Archangel Azrael placed her slender hand on her cheek, wiping her tears away.

The compliment made her heart burst out of happiness that her chest felt like it was expanding.

Luna begged weakly with her eyes closed, "Please. Let me. Hold. Them."

The least occupied Cherubims in Archangel Azrael's group cleaned them of blood and dried them with a cloth before waddling each baby into their respective blankets like the perfect little bundle of joy they were.

That should prevent them from feeling too cold.

Since Archangel Azrael was the one closest to her, the Cherubims transferred the twins to him one at a time.

He placed one large hand under the baby's head while his other forearm kept their little form close to his chest before he handed them over.

Archangel Azrael's hands were steady while his movements was cautious as if he was carrying something fragile.

Two tiny arms from her left and right reached out for her love while their hungry mouth rooted for milk.

Luna wanted to feed them right away but the old woman told her to do it later.

She could only nod in agreement.

In the seconds that the twins were there, she looked into those set of brand new eyes so pure and perfect that she couldn't close her mouth in awe.

The babies' eyes twinkled, a purity in their innocent gazes.

In that precious moment, the words 'I love you' had spilled from Luna's lips.

'If someone came to harm the both of you, I would defend your lives with mine.' She thought inwardly.

She would do anything to protect her children since her love for them was as vast as the universe and as solid as a mountain.

Luna was now a mother and would always be.

Her daughters had brought a brand new start for her and the Vampire King and both of them will be the ones to guide and embrace them with their kind, loving hearts.

All Luna wished was that they would grow up and love them in return---that their judgments of their parents' past will fall away only to be replaced by compassion.

She will show each child how precious they were and make them understand the true belief of their own worth.

The love and connection she felt from the simple physical contact made her shed joyful tears again.

It was a good reason to rejoice when the Archangels had helped her accept the new sacred gift of heaven.

When her labor was over, the bloody drape covering her lower abdomen and thighs was removed.

While Archangel Ariel and the birth attendant assisted her in putting on a clean nightgown, the male Archangels turned their backs on her and took care of the twins for a few minutes.

After Archangel Ariel had announced that she was all dressed up, the rest of the Angels faced her again to return the babies back to her.

Yet, there was something else that made her mind uncomfortable and it needed to be addressed.
