Donnie and Deirdre were thirty-seven at the time and we just didn't want to push our luck by waiting any longer.Besides which, it may be a bit crass o... me, but I really did want to see if we could get pregnant a second time as a kind of experiment. None of the twins of any family had ever gotten pregnant twice, to the best of our knowledge. And our knowledge is the knowledge of the entire institute, such as it is.It's kind of a key to the next generation's future that our match-ups be able to. " Tyrone asked Elisabeth."I guess I could." She told them."And when would be a good time for you." Tyrone asked."Well I usually help out after school, but I already have someone today. Maybe tomorrow after school." Elisabeth told them."Ok then, after school tomorrow." Tyrone said.After that they left. "Are you actually going to help them." I asked Elisabeth."Yes." She told me."But...." But what." She told me."I didn't hear you say anything about it when they asked me about it. You didn't even. This was going to end tonight.The center was deserted in the dead of night, so I just walked straight to the library. The door was open, so I went inside and tried the nearest door to the basement. It was new. It was one of those heavy-duty fire exit doors that have pushbars on one side and nothing on the other side, except the pushbar was on the outside. Dumb chick hung the door backward. I tried the pushbar, but the door didn’t budge. The probably got a lady carpenter to do the renovations.. .. it's freezing out here." I said, pulling Izzy along with me.I closed the door behind me and left it unlocked.We all ended up in the kitchen, sitting at the table drinking coffee. I held the cup between my hands, letting it melt away the cold that had infused my bones."So tell us already, what happened?" Izzy demanded, frustration and curiosity spilling out of her."We talked a little; he taunted me, threatened you and Dad, offered me the sun, moon and stars wrapped up with a pretty red ribbon.
