Complications

 is a random event where a doctor asks you to make a critical decision regarding complications that occurred when a regent or partner started to give birth.

Start
The regent and partner involved in this event is randomly chosen from all regencies where both partners are fertile and of the opposite sex. It doesn't matter which is male and which is female as long as the pair includes both sexes. If there are no such regencies, this event will not trigger.

Outcomes
{{box| There are three possible outcomes, all equally likely. The third possible outcome is the same "No Words" outcome that can occur when trying to save the mother.

{{box| Complications Come in Twos

You wait for word on the surgery, but it's not long until the Doctor runs back into the throne room... and disappears through another door. {{ghost|father first name}} appears shortly after in a huff. \"Where is she? Where is that quack?!?\" Not only is {{ghost|mother first name}} fine, but those "complications" were twins. Twins!

{{ghost|first child name}} and {{ghost|second child name}} have been born! }}

The twins are not identical and may not be of the same sex.

{{box| Condolences

The surgery goes off without much difficulty until {{ghost|father first name}} returns to the ward and discovers the delivery in progress. He watches, slumped at {{ghost|mother first name}}'s side and clutching her cool hand as the frail baby is delivered.

{{ghost|mother name}} has been lost and {{ghost|child name}} has been born with the Sickly trait. }}

Outcomes
{{box| There are two possible outcomes, both equally likely. Either will occur after a whole number of years between 16 and 26 have passed since the mother vanished.

{{box| This is Not How Time Works

You're awoken by a blinding flash of light from the Chalice and the splashing of something inside. It's {{ghost|mother name}} and she looks like she hasn't aged a day! A moment later another head pops over: {{ghost|child name}}! Only not a baby anymore but a {{ghost|child age}} year old adult! As they climb down it becomes clear that neither of them has any idea how much time has passed. There's going to be some catching up to do...

{{ghost|mother name}} has returned, and {{ghost|child name}} has been added to your retinue. }}

The child's age will be the same as the number of years that had passed since the mother's disappearance.

{{box| Something Something Time Paradox

You're awoken by a blinding flash of light from the Chalice and the splashing of something inside. It's {{ghost|mother name}} and baby {{ghost|child name}}! As she pulls her and the baby over the lip you notice that they haven't aged a day. "Excuse me," she calls out. "Can somebody find {{ghost|father name}} for me? I want him to meet someone!" This is going to take some explaining...

{{ghost|mother name}} has returned and {{ghost|child name}} has been born and can be raised to become a hero. }}
