"I don't know if I should be happy or not," Swan sighed. "They are still the only family I have. It feels wrong to do this..."
"And do you not think of me as a family?"
"T-that's different!" Swan protested. "Y-you're not a family to me. You are my husband!"
"Then, we will be a complete family once you have our cubs. Let's make plenty, eleven? Twenty? Forty?" Gale chuckled. "We can fill the castle with only our cubs if you want to."
"I-I would die if I had to give birth to forty kids," Swan pouted, to which Gale only responded with a hearty laugh.
"I-I'm serious. I would die if I had to give birth to forty little you!" Swan said seriously. She didn't know the difference in culture between the beastmen and humans. Gale might have a different expectation of what a female human could do. "M-most female humans can only give birth to three or four children. At least those are the numbers I know in Holy Achate. I'm sorry, Gale. I can't give you forty…"
