When she heard my words, Freya became quite thoughtful. Then she said, "A proposal? What kind of proposal? You're not going to ask me to move in with you at the Hestia Familia's house, are you? Hestia would go insane."
"I wouldn't be that stupid." I walked up to her throne and leaned closer, bringing my face near hers. Freya didn't move at all; she remained still, a smile on her face.
"Then what is this proposal? I'm curious." Freya began to sound excited. I smiled at her and stepped back. I walked toward the window, and Freya started to grow impatient. She stood up and walked over to me. "You're making me curious."
She came up behind me and hugged me.
Her breasts were pressed against my back.
"If you keep doing that, I'm going to attack you. Especially while wearing something like that. It's a very provocative outfit."
"So you like clothes like this? Is it because my breasts are so exposed? You really seem to like breasts. Is that why you love Hestia?"
"That's one of the reasons, but I don't like her just because of that." I laughed and stepped away from Freya. Then I turned around, looked her in the eyes, and placed my hand on her cheek. "Your skin is so soft."
Freya's face turned slightly red.
"Stop saying things like that and get to the point." Freya pulled my hand away from her face and walked back to her throne, sitting down again.
"Alright, alright, don't be impatient. I'm here to talk about our child."
When she heard my words, Freya's eyes sparkled, and she quickly stood up from the throne. "So I really am pregnant? I felt that something had changed inside me, but I wasn't sure if I was pregnant."
It was the first time I had ever seen her this excited about something.
"Yes, you're pregnant. I'm certain of it. I can tell when one of my women is pregnant."
"Don't say things like that. It makes it sound like I'm your property."
"But you are my property." I smiled at her. "So, about the proposal I wanted to make… I want to take our child out of you."
When she heard my words, Freya froze in shock.
Her eyes widened, and she stared at me as if I were a monster.
She looked at me in such a way that it actually frightened me.
What I really meant was that I wanted to accelerate her pregnancy so our child would be born sooner. I was almost certain Freya would accept this, unlike Hestia. I said it that way as a joke… now I regret it.
"What did you say?" Freya slowly backed away from me.
"What I mean is that I have a way to accelerate your pregnancy so our child can be born sooner. That's all. I'm sorry for choosing the wrong words."
"…" Freya stared at me intensely for a few seconds, then her expression changed. Her lips curved into a smile. "Phew, I thought you wanted to interrupt the pregnancy."
"I would never do something like that," I said.
That was true. I would never force a woman into something like that. I'm not a monster.
"But… would that harm our child?"
"Accelerating the pregnancy? No, it won't cause any harm. I offered this option to Hestia, but she wants to experience the entire pregnancy. I thought you would accept."
"But why do you want to do this?"
"I'm eager to have a child too."
That wasn't a lie. As time passes, I grow more anxious for one of my children to be born. Time moves far too slowly. It almost feels like time itself flows more slowly in this world. It's frightening.
"If you're sure it won't harm our child, I don't mind doing it."
When I heard Freya's words, my heart started racing.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Yes, I'm sure."
Had the time finally come for one of my children to be born?
But if I accelerate her pregnancy… who will... Don't we need a doctor or something?

POV: Freya
Luan's proposal was insane. Is something like that really possible? He isn't lying, but isn't this absurd? I've never heard of an ability like that before. Can he accelerate any woman's pregnancy?
Luan was looking at me with a smile.
He seemed very happy after I agreed to his crazy idea.
And why did I agree to it?
Well, because I'm very eager too. My heart is racing so fast it feels like it could burst at any moment. Isn't that amazing? A child that normally takes months to be formed inside me will be born in just seconds.
Besides, I don't want to walk around with a large belly for a long time.
Human women say it's very uncomfortable and painful. I don't want to go through something like that.
Even though I'm a little curious about it, just like Hestia.
While I was lost in thought, Luan spoke. "But there's one thing I'm a bit worried about."
Didn't he just say that this ability is probably safe and won't affect our child?
"What do you mean?"
"Even if I accelerate your pregnancy, you'll still have to give birth to our child. There will have to be a delivery. There's no doctor here."
"Can't you do it?"
Luan looked shocked when he heard my words. "M-Me? I can't do that. I'm not a doctor. I don't have any experience with something like that. I've never seen a child being born with my own eyes in my entire life."
He looked panicked.
"That is… a problem."
But thinking about it, is a goddess's childbirth the same as a human woman's?
Our bodies are basically human, but maybe it's different.
I said that to Luan, and he replied,
"It might be possible… do you want to take the risk?" He started sweating heavily. He's very nervous.
Is he worried about me and our child? How cute.
That only makes me want to go through with this plan even more.
"Yes, I do. Accelerate the pregnancy, and let's see what happens."
