Surprise! Caelia gave birth to another little boy. They named him Decimus Livianus. His name, meaning ten, was picked because he was the tenth grandson of Caelia's mother. Decimus joined his brother as a surprise--even to his parents. Caelia and Sextilius were out with their twin boys under a tree in their friends' yard--they had just moved there not too long ago--when Caelia felt the birthing pains. Sextilius hurried her inside the house, where the farmer's wife helped bring the little Decimus Livianus into the world.
