Joining. The Princess and the Tin Box
DH: Emyr Ahmet Hakan, Crown Prince of Belasta (22)
DW: Abha Devi Durga, Princess of Xa'ant (19)
-DD: Shobha Kumari Hazan (nb)
Tale: The Princess and the Tin Box (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Princess_and_the_Tin_Box) Labor was long and painful for Princess Abha, but after nearly forty hours of labor she gave birth to a healthy baby daughter, Shobha. Abha was worried that the strain of childbirth would threaten her status as the most beautiful woman on the continent. This made her not want to have any more children. Her husband, knowing that she loves presents more than people, commissioned the construction of an eight-foot-tall jewel-encrusted tree where visitors would hang their gifts when they came to visit the princess and see the new baby. The thought of so many gifts gave the princess a glow that made her even prettier than she had been before. So many gift-bearing visitors poured in that the three filled up. Those that would not fit were placed into the box Emyr had given her as an engagement present. The box expanded to accommodate them. Now Abha is more than ready to consider having another child.
