Hushed Willows yes, i'm positive there's just one baby in there

”Oh, I suspect it is more than enough,” she replied, eyes a bit watery when she swiveled her head to Lily once more. A bit of an errant toss to it, a loose shrug of her crude shoulders; as if she knew how irrational she seemed. ”I... only think I am of little importance to them, truth be told.

Other times, I... am so frazzled, like now. I only believe I am rather inefficient, because I still do not understand their ways of life compared to my northern one. I envy that straightforwardness... truth be told, once again.”
