'Adeline,' he told his daughter strictly, watching amusement dance on the girl's face as her mouth continued to part open, Adeline almost ready to scream like Daphne was screaming upstairs. When the girl opened her mouth to scream, being wild just like her mama would've been, Simon raising his finger up to challenge her to even open her mouth again. The woman upstairs yelled again and Simon sighed deeply, hoping this would end soon before watching the girl right next to him, her face so similar to his wife's. Simon turned to face the mischievous young girl, shaking his head at her in an unamused expression. Simon jumped slightly when a young girl, almost two years old, jumped on the sofa they were both sitting on and yelled straight into his ear, mimicking his aunt. However, as the woman upstairs continued to shake the entire house as if being ripped open, another scream echoed from nearby his ear. Simon Basset felt sorry for the woman, who had to experience this, the way he had felt heartbroken his own wife had to experience something similar.

When the woman upstairs screamed again, the entire walls shaking, the duke of Hastings frowned from downstairs, the screaming far too familiar and nightmare bringing. And yet a thing they all waited for as if they waited for a miracle. The woman seemed to be in much pain as she continued to scream then pant, then scream again, a single maid rushing towards the bedroom, where the poor female was settled in, doing presumably the most painful thing a woman could experience in her life.
