My dear sister,

I write to inform you that my pregnancy has reached its end, and has left me with two children: Regina Aphrodite, who arrived with little trouble and is quite healthy, and Warrick Lucius, who is another matter entirely. My own health was not good, however I feel much recovered.

I confess, I am concerned by the arrival of my second set of twinsùyou shall never hear me admit again to having birthed a firstùgiven how troublesome the former ended up. I do not put much store in muggle superstition, as you know, but with the troubles with Winifred, and the fact that Warrick brought me to the brink of death as I struggled to bring him life, makes me wonder if there is something to the idea that one twin is inherently badùSebastian in your case, I assure you, my dear!

I am recovering quietly, and while I welcome any news of the outside world, I do ask that you refrain from visiting me until I am feeling better.

February 9 1883,

Dearest Olivia,

It is a pleasure to hear that you and the babies are alright! I have never birthed twins myself, but I can only imagine how difficult it might possibly be. My own Nephele struggled a lot to bring hers into this world.

I can assure you that there is no need for you to worry, my dear sister. Muggles create such superstitions because they can hardly explain something that their little minds cannot understand.

I sincerely hope that you will recover smoothly, and I am looking forwar to seeing you again.

Katherina
