"I'd be happy to get through the first time with a healthy child. We can go from there how many we want to have I suppose." She thought about their children's looks for a second. "Never know until they arrive. Most of my sisters have inherited our looks from our mother with traces of father here and there. The joke is that a son might actually inherit more of his physical looks."<br/><br/>In another hour the sounds of heavy labor can be heard. Within twenty minutes of pushing the first son of King Riven and Queen Dae slips into the world with a lusty cry.

Because they age slower raising children is a serious undertaking.
