New Life

Today was two months after Windsor's wedding.

Nanahoshi was in the delivery room.

Of course I wasn't worried. Nanahoshi might look sixteen, but she was in great shape! She was a Half-Dragon!

Besides, I was already the father of six children. I'd been through this six times. What did I have to worry about?

"Big brother, it's fine. Stop bouncing your leg."

"..."

Apart from Aisha, all my wives were in the delivery room helping out.

I could even hear them cheering Nanahoshi on.

Wait... was there actually some risk?

Should I go in and help? This was our first time dealing with a Half-Dragon giving birth. Maybe her dragon blood would make it difficult?!

With that thought, I started to get up, but Aisha took my hand.

"Big brother, don't worry. Don't you trust the others? Milia, Fili, and two experienced maids are in there too. If anything goes wrong, they'll call you right away."

"Okay..."

Aisha was right.

All I could do was the same thing I'd done before: wait.

About another hour later, the delivery room went quiet.

A young maid came out and said,

"Master Rudeus, the baby has been born. It's a boy."

"Oh! Oh, wow!"

Aisha and I hurried into the delivery room. Nanahoshi was holding her baby with a look of utter distaste.

She frowned as she studied our child.

The first thing she said when she saw me was,

"Rudeus, this baby is so ugly..."

Before I could answer, Eris nodded vigorously.

"It's fine! I thought Windsor was ugly when she was born too! He'll look better when he grows up!"

"Really?"

"Really! All babies are ugly!"

Roxy and Sylphie only smiled. Aisha leaned in with envy written all over her face.

"It's a boy!"

Nanahoshi nodded.

"I wanted a girl..."
