He obeyed orders and carried them out to the letter, but seemed to lack imagination. Battle was a fluid thing and sometimes it was necessary to think on one’s feet, but Carl seemed to lack this ability. It caused strife among the other members. When not actively training, he spent an inordinate amount of time checking his gear, sharpening his knife or disassembling and cleaning his weapon rather than hanging out with others. Even at meal time, he kept himself apart, quietly observing and listening to them, but never actively participating in their conversations.

Not wanting any disharmony with his men, Augustus took Carl aside to confront him about these issues. Carl merely nodded quietly and shrugged when he was asked to work on them. Frustrated, Augustus demanded, “These men are your comrades. How can you expect them to watch your back if you don’t prove yourself to them?”

“I don’t expect them too,” Carl answered easily.

Augustus was at a

    “How are you feeling, my dear?” Augustus asked. “Better.” Macey managed a smile. She was relaxed, reclining on her pillows. It had been just over a week since she arrived at the mansion. The staff had been told not to reveal the identity of their guest and to treat her with the upmost care, following doctor’s orders. Luckily, his sons were infrequent visitors and since his birthday party there was little need from them to come home when they saw him at work every day. Normally, Augustus lamented their inattention, but now he was grateful as it allowed Macey to recover without interruption. “I’m glad,” Augustus sighed. “And the baby?” “The doctor says its heartbeat is strong, so she doesn’t think there will be any complications as long as I avoid unnecessary stress.” “Good.” Augustus didn’t try to hide his relief, but worried how the next topic would affect her. “As much as I don’t want to, I need to discuss something wi

    Augustus fell silent. If it was over, why was Julius looking for her so desperately? Something didn’t add up. Could it be? Could Julius have finally realized the truth? Maybe…But was it too little too late? The woman in front of him was resigned. She had given up the love she had nurtured for so long, truly believing it was over. Would Julius be able to convince her he made a mistake? No. In her current state, she probably wouldn’t even listen. “Let’s face it, he and I, we’re too different. I just don’t belong in his world and I guess he knew it from the beginning,” Macey let out a sniffle, prompting him to give her a tissue. “It’s better if I just leave. I don’t want to cause problems.” Augustus studied her for a long moment in silence. Perhaps it was better to put distance between them, for now. Macey had always lacked confidence when it came to standing among the DaLairs. Though they treated her as a member of the family, she could

    “Are you all right Miss?” Stephen asked with concern as they exited customs. “I’m fine,” Macey sighed. “Air travel has never been my favorite.” “It will be much easier from here.” Hailing a cab, Stephen loaded her luggage into the trunk, then gave instructions to the driver. Macey listened, amazed at the ease with which he handled the situation. “Stephen, I didn’t know you could speak French.” “I can’t.” “But.” “I learned a bit when I came here to set up your apartment,” he said, “but I only know enough to give the correct address.” Macey was silent for a time, “I’m going to need to learn.” “Miss?” “French. If I’m going to stay here I really should learn the language, don’t you think?” “You have a point. It will be useful when you begin attending school. But the state has several remedial programs, specifically for immigrants to learn the language.”

    Victoria stepped out of the cab with a sigh, checking her phone for the address one more time before entering the building. Though she was generally confident and carefree, she had to admit she was feeling a little anxious about this meeting. She had seen the advertisement a week ago for a private tutor willing to teach remedial French to a newly arrived immigrant from America. Like many people, she didn’t have a favorable opinion of Americans in general. They were arrogant in their claims of coming from the greatest country in the world, as if their country never did anything wrong or didn’t have problems. At least other countries admitted their shortcomings. Then there was the American fascination with sex and sexuality when, at the same time, they were completely uncomfortable with their own bodies. They either saw themselves as too fat or too thin, too short or too tall. Half the population was busy trying to reach some unattainable ideal, while the

    Macey woke with a sudden urge to pee. With a grunt, she pushed herself out of bed, struggling with her rather large stomach. She gently stroked it. It had been months since the doctor told her she was not having just one baby but two. Twins. It still didn’t seem real despite her expanding middle. Twins, actual twins. She eased out of bed and retreated to the bathroom to relieve herself. Once she was comfortable again, she moved to the living room and sat on the sofa. She was grateful for the large cushions. Her back and feet constantly ached. Now, it seemed the twins had settled permanently on her bladder. That was something no one warned her about. She inhaled deeply as her body tensed. For the past couple of weeks she had been having minor contractions. Her doctor explained it was her body’s way of preparing for labor and to not be alarmed by them. The moment passed. She winced as a wave of heartburn came next. It seemed she was a

    “Miss Macey?” Stephen prompted when she didn’t reply. “Is everything all right?” “Yes. Sorry. I’m calling because dad wanted to know when I went into labor. Well, I am. In labor.” “Are you all right? Are you alone? Do you need me to make calls for you? Arrange transportation?” “No. It’s fine. Vicki is here. She’s calling the hospital and a cab is on the way. We’ll be heading to the hospital shortly.” “Understood. I’ll arrange transportation for Mister DaLair. He’ll be there as soon as he is able.” “Oh, you don’t have to do that. I mean…” “Mister DaLair insists. I will let you know his ETA as soon as I confirm it.” “…Okay.” “Come on Macey. We got to go.” Victoria said, hauling the prepared duffle bag out of the entry closet where it had been stashed for the last two months. Though Victoria might have momentarily panicked, she was once again in control. “Right.

    “Ah, dad?” March stared as his father stood. Not that he wasn’t ready to end the meeting as well, but it was out of character for his father to do so. Augustus never ended meetings early. “Something important just came up. I’ll be leaving now. Good work everyone,” Augustus said as Stephen moved ahead of him and opened the door. “March, take your brother home. Next time, I want him awake and sober.” “Yeah, dad.” March rubbed his temples, looking at the shell that was once his brother. He stood and circled the table. “Come one, Jules. Let’s get you home. Work day is over.” Julius muttered groggily as his brother pulled him to his feet. Though he looked asleep, he was surprisingly aware. How could he sleep when Macey was out there? Their baby would soon make its entrance into the world and he still hadn’t found them. There had to be a way. Macey was too responsible to neglect her own care, let alone her baby. She wouldn’t shu

    Leaving off further insults, Victoria paused long enough to toss money at their driver before returning to Macey’s side and helping her to the entrance. Macey winced as she walked. She wasn’t certain if she could say she was in any great amount of pain, but she felt bloated and uncoordinated. Luckily, as soon as they entered, the forewarned maternity ward was ready to receive her, offering a wheelchair. Macey sank into it gratefully as Victoria wheeled her to the front desk to check in. “Papiers d’identité?” the nurse at the desk asked.[1] Macey nodded, signaling Victoria to open the end pocket of the duffle where her passport and ID had been stashed in the event their departure to the hospital was less than organized. Somehow, she wasn’t terribly surprised it had come to this, though the wild ride was certainly not part of her plan. “Oh good, I didn’t miss you two!” Macey turned in surprise to see Paul hurrying to join them, saying
