Evelyn was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling with a dazed face. She was already positioned for her birth, and her mind was swirling with thoughts about her incoming child. Alaia, standing by her side, smiled and asked. "Are you nervous, Evelyn?"
Evelyn nodded. "A little bit. While I feel safe with all of you here, I am still a bit nervous."
"Well, it's normal. You are going to have a pup soon~." Sierra and Zephyrith were sitting on chairs placed by the left of the bed.
Evelyn looked at them and smiled. "How is the relationship going?"
Zephyrith and Sierra looked at each other with smiles, and Sierra answered. "Everything is going perfectly."
Evelyn grinned. "So, is there a chance for pups?"
Zephyrith coughed. "Evelyn, you are going to give birth; focus on that first."
Evelyn laughed. "Well, that's true, I guess. But, I didn't expect you to have… or well, better said, I didn't expect you to be like Yasenia! Or, well, more like Andrea~."
Zephyrith blushed a bit. "Well, nobody knew. But somehow, this horny wild wolf could smell it."
Sierra smirked. "I mean, I know the scent of a potential mate when I sniff one."
Zephyrith's face darkened, and her red eyes focused on Sierra. "Ho~? So you've smelled other 'potential mates' before?"
Evelyn saw Sierra's smirk freezing and giggled. "You are in trouble, partner."
Zephyrith snorted, and Sierra coughed. "Focus on giving birth, Evelyn."
"Sure, sure~."
When Sierra's and Zephyrith's wolf ears moved toward the door, Evelyn realized that someone was coming, and her heart somewhat sped up. 'Did she make it in time?'
When she saw the absolutely gorgeous dragoness walking through the door, her heart relaxed, and happiness bloomed in her. 'She actually did it!'
To be frank, she had been worried that Yasenia wouldn't make it. Evelyn knew that it took time to compress the energy when breaking through. After all, she had managed to reach the second level of the Dantian Spiritualization Realm a few months ago. 'She has been quite quick with it…'
Evelyn couldn't help but giggle as her entire body radiated happiness.
Zephyrith and Sierra smiled and stood up, moving toward the other seats in the room. Now that Yasenia was here, they wouldn't occupy the other parent's position. Sierra whispered to Zephyrith. "Thank you for being here when you are so busy, my cute puppy~."
Zephyrith blushed and softly pinched Sierra's waist. "Don't call me that way here."
Sierra lifted her eyebrow and teased. "Why? Aroused?"
Zephyrith turned her head, ignoring Sierra, which made the wild wolf laugh.
Meanwhile, Yasenia sat by Evelyn's side and asked. "How are you feeling, Dear? Everything alright?"
Evelyn nodded. "I have yet to break water since my cultivation is still dissipating, but yes. It should come soon."
The dragoness hugged Evelyn's head into her bosom without compromising her positioning. It was a bit uncomfortable for Yasenia, but she didn't mind giving her Dear a source of calm. "Evelyn, you are my clever and brave Dear. You will have zero problems; believe in yourself. And remember that I am always by your side, okay?"
Evelyn rubbed her face on the softness surrounding her face and felt her nerves disappearing. The dragoness words were like a soothing medicine. "Mhm. Thank you, Yasenia. I love you."
"I love you too, Dear."
It took a few more hours before the water broke, and Evelyn started giving birth. The painful process of carrying new life was not easy, even for seasoned cultivators. Therefore, screams of pain would involuntarily come out of Evelyn's mouth from time to time as contractions assaulted her body.
Still, without any complications and with Yasenia's presence by her side, Evelyn could push through the ordeal and deliver a beautiful baby.
Similar to Angel's situation, the baby was slightly more developed than what a mortal woman's baby would look like. Moreover, similar to her other siblings, dragon features were prominent in her. Evelyn held the recently born baby and laughed. "Wow, you really gave Mom quite a big fight, eh? Hahaha."
Yasenia saw that, although Evelyn was laughing, tears were falling from the corner of her eyes. They were naturally tears of happiness. Yasenia looked at the new mother and baby, and the feelings she had been constantly experiencing hit her again.
The feeling of her flesh and blood coming to the world through the people she loves so much was a wonderful feeling. All her instincts were satisfied. 'If I could take care of them all and have them live a happy and fulfilling life, I would give everything.'
Yasenia was curious, "So, dear, what's the darling's name?"
Evelyn hummed, tiredly while leaning on Yasenia. "Well… How about… Skye."
The dragoness kissed the top of her head and nodded. "I like it. From now on, Skye will be the name of our first child."
Evelyn raised her eyebrow. "First?"
Yasenia giggled. "First~."
Evelyn sighed with fake anguish. "It seems that my future is filled with giving birth to your children."
The dragoness, amused, asked. "Any problems with that?"
Evelyn shook her head and smiled brightly. "I love giving you children, so none at all."
The dragoness interacted with Evelyn, praising her for doing an excellent job and pampering her. Then, she guided her as she did with Angel so that she could breastfeed the newborn.
Evelyn muttered as she looked at Skye. "Will I be able to produce enough milk?"
Yasenia blinked. "Why'd you ask, Dear?"
Evelyn looked at her chest, which was barely a B cup, as the baby suckled on her nipple and muttered. "Well, although I've grown, I am quite small, right?"
Yasenia smiled. "It doesn't matter. Size is not the only thing that influences milk production. Does it help? Perhaps. Still, look~."
Evelyn looked over and saw Yasenia shaking her chest, stunning her. The dragoness giggled. "You have a lover with these, right~? Believe me when I say that the baby won't be hungry~."
Evelyn nodded a few times. "With such a Heavenly pair of t-" Evelyn paused and looked down at the baby. Then, she continued the sentence. "With your ability to produce milk, I am sure she won't have any troubles."
Yasenia's lips arched, noticing Evelyn's care with words. 'Haha~, so she just needed to have a baby herself to become a bit more restrained~. Cute. No, adorable. No, it's super lovely. Ugh, my Evelyn is sometimes so adorable that I want to eat her with kisses~.' And so she did.
Evelyn, who was suddenly assaulted by a rain of kisses, was flabbergasted. "W-What are you doing, Yasenia?"
Yasenia continued kissing her face and chuckled. "Just accept my love, you lovely Dear."
Evelyn had zero complaints, and she was pampered by the dragoness for the rest of the day.
When the dragoness woke up the next day, she quickly washed her face and went to visit her children one by one.
After going to cook a delicious meal and carrying it to everyone, she stopped where Andrea was and saw her looking at large papers with complex energy circuits.
Yasenia approached from behind and hugged her. Her arms went around Andrea's swollen belly, and she gently placed her hands below it to lift it slightly. The sensation of the weight disappearing made Andrea snort in comfort.
"What is my Darling doing?"
Andrea smiled and explained, her low and deep voice sounding peaceful and smooth. "I am planning the final steps for the growth-weapon, -armor, and -robe designs."
Yasenia circled around her and looked at the complex designs. "Oh~, they look quite nice. What are the materials?"
Andrea smiled. "Do you remember all of the body parts you shed when you ingested that pill many years ago?"
The dragoness nodded. "You mean those I dropped when I transformed into my human form for the first time, right?"
Andrea nodded. "They are the perfect level to create growth weapons with. At first, I was unsure of how to create them. Still, remember how I failed to fuse the three methods in the past?"
Yasenia commented. "You mean Sky Continent's, Distancia Continent's, and Lost Town's blacksmithing methods? Did you manage to combine them?"
Andrea smirked. "Yes. It was not easy, but around one year ago, I could do it. Look."
The dragoness saw a rapier appearing before her and analyzed it. While the dragoness was far away from Andrea in terms of blacksmithing proficiency, she had unlocked Blacksmithing Intent in the past, showing that she had a lot of innate talent in this area.
Andrea knew that Yasenia would understand many things if she showed her the finished product instead of explaining the theory. 'She is very instinctive when blacksmithing. Really, what a wonderful woman.'
Andrea's smile deepened when she saw Yasenia's pupils thin for a moment before a spark of realization crossed her expression. 'As expected~.'
Yasenia looked up at Andrea with glittering eyes and said. "Wow! Darling you are a genius! This weapon is like a cultivator!"
Andrea couldn't help but burst into laughter. "I couldn't have summarized it better. With the Sky Continent method, I've created something similar to meridians. With Lost Town's method, I've given it something similar to a soul. Finally, with Distancia's methods, I've molded the body of the weapon for everything to fit. The balance created was at first unstable, which created quite a lot of failed products."
Yasenia tilted her head. "What did you do to create this weapon then?"
Andrea kissed her forehead and commented. "Look closely. I am sure my dragoness can discern it easily."
Yasenia's tail wagged as she smiled. "You overestimate me too much. Still, since Darling believes in me so much, I'll give it a try."
Andrea smiled, amused. 'Overestimate? I can't help but feel that I am always underestimating you, darling.'
Still, she didn't say it because she didn't want to feed Yasenia's innate arrogance. All the girls praised Yasenia from time to time, but as Tatyana had explained in the past, they always kept certain boundaries.
As a dragon, Yasenia was easily carried away, becoming arrogant and sloppy if too much praise was given. On the contrary, feeding her competitiveness and wish to improve did wonders to prevent any trouble.
Lately, Yasenia's instincts have grown incredibly quickly. In the last realm before transcendence, mortal desires were aplenty.
Not to speak about anything else, just her lust was starting to be a problem. Their dear dragoness was holding on really well, but even now, for example, Yasenia was rubbing her waist unconsciously on Andrea.
The woman naturally noticed, thinking that after speaking and working for a while, she needed to give her some relief. 'My dragoness is suffering quite a lot lately, eh? Poor dear, such a body full of so much energy.'
Yasenia eventually managed to decipher what Andrea did. "You created something like a core… So, something similar to a Dantian? However, instead of creating a high-level core, it is a low-level core… Oh!"
Yasenia looked at Andrea; her tail wags becoming quicker. "Did you do that so that the sword needs to be fed with low-level energy, becoming something similar to a [Growth Weapon]? That's genius! Purposely lowering the level of the core of the weapon but creating something that can increase in quality by itself! While this will give the weapon a limit depending on the core's original quality, it is perfect for low-level cultivators!"
Andrea nodded. "That's right. Now that you've discovered it, come here~."
Yasenia felt her body being lifted. Since Andrea had yet to lose any of her cultivation, such actions were not strenuous at all. Still, the dragoness felt a bit strange. 'Why is my pregnant Darling carrying me? Shouldn't it be the opposite?'
Still, her thoughts flew away when Andrea's hand sneaked into her skirt.
