Visibly surprised at the question, Rae took a moment to collect her thoughts and explain things. "I forget sometimes you weren't here then. Back in February around St. Valentine's day people were falling madly in love with whomever they laid eyes on after a certain point. For myself, it was Cal when we met downstairs in the apartment building doing laundry. We fell madly in love as I said, and-" she couldn't help blushing, damn these hormones! "-we didn't waste much time conceiving the twins, though we didn't realize it at the time. We spent most of the next two weeks in Cal's bedroom, and were married by a monk named Desmond who was here at the time."
She sipped her tea and looked back at Bruce. "When we 'came to our senses' we were already married and I wasn't one to back out of an obligation and I could see that Cal was a beautiful and intelligent woman. I'd have been a fool not to try and make things work. Fortunately for me she was agreeable to seeing how things went."
