pregnancies last. She told me a week or less is the average for a pregnancy last. I'm very surprised. I think David fathered the twins. I don't know. I'm still not sure. Rani came to our room. He apologized for trying to attack me. Attack me? He was attacking Bruce not me. The other people, Human in appearances were not really Wolves. The Mesan’s Curse I saw hauled them out of the compound. The Mesan’s Curse told me in sign language that the people attacking us had removable tattoos on their arms. The High Council wanted to blame the attack on us on them. About eighteen of the fakes were hauled out. Two were the real deal. They woke up in bed and introduced themselves as Lana and Lorne Getwell. What a funny last name. Lana looked like she was pregnant. I think she's expecting a baby. By the end of the week both Lana and Jella will have their babies? Jella went into labor and had a baby girl named Annie. I wonder where they got the Annie name. I think it is very weird. I also have to get used to seeing pregnancies growing fast instead of nine months here it takes about less than a week to create a baby. I told Jella about the other races having babies fast. She explained that only Amula have babies in less than a week. As for the Humans, who have their babies in a matter of weeks which means Maureen might already have her baby. I feel sad about that. I feel sad that I won't see her again. She was a nice friend I ever had. I like her. Lana is pregnant. She showed me her belly. She's hoping for twins. She envies me. Lorne was short about my height. Lana is taller about Rani's height. I don’t have much to add. Due to the excitement I didn’t eat any lunch. I'm hungry. I fed the twins and burped them. They fell asleep on the bed. Bruce is watching them. I'm sitting next to a tree watching Rani pull weeds from the garden. Lorne is helping him. Those weeds keep growing and growing, that their not the only thing that grows fast around here. Jella came out to tell Lorne that Lana was in labor. We all ran inside the citadel. I told Lorne about calling the building the Citadel. Lorne likes the name. Lana had a baby girl named Lorana Getwell. The baby had blond hair. Lorne and Lana have red hair. Rani and Jella have brown hair. Annie and Ranijell have blonde hair. Bruce has been giving me looks. I think he wants sex with me. We got in an argument. Bruce wanted more kids. I argued that having twins was enough. Bruce stormed out of the citadel with his eyes blazing yellow. I went to bed and watched the twins sleep. I think Bruce is attacking the trees. Lorne looked out the window and asked me why Bruce was attacking the trees. I told him it was Bruce's way of blowing his temper and getting rid of his anger. Lorne told me I should have more kids with Bruce. He added that more kids would help make the population grow. I went outside and had sex with Bruce. We used a tree to do this. It was very interesting. I'm sure I'm pregnant because I'm putting on weight. I think the baby will be born by tomorrow. I wonder what name I should call it. I think I'm not having twins. I think its one baby. I can't wait to feel it move in me. It'll be a nice experience.

Dear Anne,
I'm a little bit big. The baby is one baby. Jella felt me and examined me and told me it was one baby. I'm excited about that. I can't wait to see the baby.
Jella just told me that it's nearly time for me to go in labor. I thought I had a week of pregnancy. It doesn't make sense at all. I really hope labor isn't hard but okay. I suspect that David fathered the twins. I told that to Bruce. He agrees too. The twins will carry the last name Kellar for the rest of their lives. Our baby will have Bruce's last name. I told that to Jella. She suggested that we pick a last name for the baby like they picked Visser for Annie. I asked her if Visser was her last name too. She confirmed it wasn't she told me that her last name was Ulian. I asked her if any of her ancestors were named Susanna. She confirmed this. I think she is Sue's descendant. I tried telling her about the gateway Bruce and I went through. She told me it was forbidden for anyone to talk about the gateways. I think if it’s a boy I plan to name it Bruce after the father. I also plan to name it Susanna if it was a girl. Jella and I discussed names. A Mesan’s Curse came by and told me if the baby was a boy, name it Duncan if boy and Gina if girl. The being wouldn't explain why he gave me the names. I tried asking them that but they refused to tell me. Breakfast was fruit. I'm getting a little tired of writing what I eat in here. It's boring. Yawn. I'm a little tired. I tried to fall asleep but Jella wouldn't let me sleep. She told me that women have died falling asleep before having the baby. Labor was painful but I ignored the pain and pushed out a baby boy Duncan. Bruce was jumping up and down full of happiness. Jella helped me push the baby out. The baby had black hair and brown eyes just like Luke. Bruce was so happy. I was so happy too. I think my chest is full of milk. It grew a bit. I think I'm a little too big in the chest area. I now have three babies to feed. Bruce showed off Duncan to his brothers. Both David and Daniel stared at Duncan while in their wolf form. The twins have been in their wolves form for a while. I wonder why. I don't have much to add. I'm nursing Daniel and David. Once their finished I'll nurse Duncan. Jella came by and nursed Duncan for me. It was nice of her. Ranijell looks a little bigger. I asked her how long do Amula live. Jella told me she didn't know. She heard that they live to be one hundred or more. I'll be very old then. I finished feeding the twins. I'm surprised that our pregnancies lasted hours instead of months. There's a relief of not having to wait nine months. I fed Duncan. Whose idea was to name him Duncan? I wonder where the being got the name. Hmph. Bruce is full of joy. He's holding Duncan. David and Daniel are playing with each other in their wolf forms. I ate some dinner. Jella wants me to stay in bed. I plan to stay in bed for awhile. I feel tired from the pushing. I'm a little drained. The food helped me pep me up. I went outside and threw up. I wonder why. Jella saw me throw up. She examined me and said I was sulfuring from eating too much fruit and not enough vegetables. I'm not very fond of eating vegetables. I'm interested in fruit such as apples, bananas, dates and oranges. The vegetables are tomatoes, green beans, and broccoli. I don’t mind the green beans and the broccoli. I do mind eating tomatoes and lettuce. I'm not very fond of them. I went back inside the citadel. Both twins were crying it was feeding time. I feed them again. They seem to be very hungry. It was very interesting having babies suck your chest. The feeling is weird. I can't explain it. Both babies went to sleep after sucking me. Jella is nursing Ranijell and Annie. Bruce is holding Duncan. I rather call him Bruce Junior instead of Duncan. Where did they get the name Duncan anyway? It sounds Irish. I'm a little tired. I think I'll go to bed now. Oh I'm in bed. I meant go to sleep now. I'm tired. I had a long day. I can't believe my pregnancy lasted hours. It was amazing. I wonder will pregnancies last hours for other races? I don't know. Oh well. Good night.
Yours,
Elizabeth

Dear Anne,
Jella woke me up to tell me Duncan was crying. It was feeding time for him. After feeding him I left him on Bruce. He fell asleep on his father. Daniel and David are on a bed playing with each other in again their wolf forms, cute. I'm surprised that the twins are doing that. I'm a little tired. I'm surprised that Jella didn't wake me up very early to have me feed the babies. I guess the twins are satisfied being fed now. I wonder do they grow so fast and reach adulthood in a year or not? I ought to ask Jella. I looked over at Jella. She's asleep. Ranijell and Annie are sucking her chest. I can't believe she can sleep during that.
What a long day. Lana went in labor and had a baby boy named Lan. I hope she doesn’t get pregnant again. Jella gave them a lecture about not having more clothes for the babies. The citadel has clothes for babies and some cloth diapers. David and Daniel smelled. I checked them and had to clean their diaper. It was disgusting. Then Bruce handed me Duncan said he smelled. I checked his diaper and had to clean it. It was disgusting. I'm disgusted. That's one thing I hate about babies is cleaning their diapers and wiping that crap off of them. Yuck. I fed David and Daniel then Duncan. I think one of my boobs is a little bigger than the other. I'm not sure. I left the babies on Bruce. Bruce is asleep.
I think he was up late. I wandered around the compound. Several Mesan’s Curse stood around chatting to each other by their hands and I saw one teaching two some sign language. They were standing around and learning Sign language. I asked one of them whose idea was to give my son the name Duncan. They wouldn't tell me. One told me that the name is not important. He explained that he'd play an important part in the future. I have a feeling that they can see the future. I don't know. Oh well. I wandered back inside the citadel. I saw Bruce rocking Duncan. He was crying. He stopped crying when I held him. I guess the baby missed me. Then Lana went in labor. I went to get Jella and found her in a room with Rani. They were kissing each other on the lips. I interrupted them to tell them about Lana. Jella and I assisted Lana in the birth. The baby came out safely. Duncan wound up snoozing on Bruce. Bruce is staring at the twins on another bed. The twins are playing a kicking in the leg game in their Human forms. I find that funny. It is very weird. I wonder why they're kicking each other in the legs. I
