Spencer lived in the sapartment complex, so when Alaric had asked Hertha if they both resided there, she confirmed it without hesitation. They were even in the sbuilding, albeit on different floors.
So, Hertha's response to Alaric wasn't totally a lie.
“Oh c'mon, you're always dropping by with cookies or a pie for me. It's just being neighborly, no need for any awkwardness,” Spencer said with an amiable smile.
“Mommy, Uncle Spencer!” When Hertha and Spencer chatted, two sweet, cooing voices rang out, their little owners excitedly calling out for Hertha and Spencer.
The adorable lilt in their voices instantly melted Hertha's heart. She turned around, looking down to see two little cherubs toddling towards her, their short legs carrying them as fast as they could, like a pair of bouncy balls rolling their way.

Quickly stepping forward, she bent down to scoop up the little one leading the charge.
“Julian, cto Mommy!” Hertha lifted Julian, nuzzling her cheek against his soft little face.

Spencer was about to set down his things to pick up Helena, but feeling a twinge of sympathy, Hertha quickly said, “Let me, it's okay, I'm strong enough to handle both.” With that, she bent over and gathered Helena into her embrace.
Holding a two—year—old child in each arm was no trouble at all.
Holding Julian in her right arm and Helena in her left, Hertha had already shared a tender
moment cheek to cheek with Julian.
Now she showered Helena with the same saffection marvveling at her even softer cuter presence. The sweet scent of baby filled her nostrils, and her heart melted. “Oh, my precious little ones, Mommy loves you both more than words can say, Hertha cooed, her love overflowing like the softest cotton, ready to burst from the depths of her being.
