Quick question: Have you ever tried to drown yourself and quickly realized that it isn't for you?
If you have then too bad because that is how I am feeling right now except I am not feeling drowned. It's weird as shit, I tell you. Like, how is that possible right?
Another quick question: How fuccking long does it take for a baby to form a brain?
If you know then good because I fuccking don't! And I sure as hell am not going to even think about it. Nope. One sanity-breaking headache is enough for me, thank you. I am ready to not experience that again ever in my life.
Spoiler: He will experience multiple.
Another another quick question: How long does it take for a baby to be born?
In my long line of wisdom, which is none, I think it will take a year or two right? I mean, if you push it it could reduce to one hour or so.
By the way, if you're wondering why I'm revealing my lack of knowledge to you guys then the answer is: I am bored.
From the time I was first here, I started to feel a weak pull. At first, I thought The God( I tried to write Dog but every single time my fingers just wrote God. So I just got along with it. ) was still transferring me but I quickly realized that it was too weak to pull me completely.
And after a few hours, I got used to it. Though I did understand that my mother was likely giving birth.
' I do wonder how my parents will be. Will they be rich? Poor? Religion? Non-religion? Black? White? Asian? American?
Will they be human at all? Though, I really wouldn't mind at all being reborn as an incub.'
As I keep thinking about my birth I finally feel a stronger pull. Strong enough to pull me towards the small light source. And thank Lady Death that it was my head that got there first. And....
Poof!
I was born.

You wouldn't believe how much pregnancy can change a woman.
One moment they are happily enjoying their own day and the next moment they get irritated just by you standing near them.
Though, it does have its benefits. Like pregnant sex. But the problems are way more.
For Paul, this was a whole new experience. He was never a man who took responsibility for his own actions. Young, full of needs, and always the one to just enjoy the moment.
So, when he finally decided to become responsible, oh man let me tell you. It wasn't fuccking easy.
Like who would have thought buying land was so much more expensive than renting one? If it wasn't for his friend helping him he would have been in a lot more trouble. And he also had to use his old family contract.
That was very embarrassing for Paul. Imagine you fought with with parents and said you would not eat their food only to return the next hour to ask for money from them to buy food from outside. Embarrassing right?
Nonetheless, he did it in the end. After he got a job he spent even more money making a home for his future family. He made it as big as possible because he sure as hell was not going to stop with just one child!
Just when everything seemed to go in the right direction another problem arose. Zenith needs a caretaker for herself.
As Paul has to work for some hours, he can't take care of his pregnant wife. And as the times fly the harder it becomes for Zenith. Though, he is able to spend more time with her because of Law joining him in his patrols. But the problem remains.
So they decided to hire a maid. It would take money but Paul was making more money than before. So they had no problem posting an official notice at the nearby adventure guild.
To their luck, they found a maid fairly quickly but to Paul's misfortune, it was one of his old flames. Lilia.
It was a disaster with her. He was young and foolish, which he still is, back then. But it seems she forgave him or just didn't care about it anymore. Nonetheless, the problem was solved.
And here we are a month or so later after that. Paul was patrolling the village around noon. A bit more and he can go home when suddenly a villager came running. And when he heard Zenith was in labor he quickly informed Law and sprinted towards his home. And here he is, a few hours later standing outside her room while Lili helped his wife.
' I hope both are ok. It's been hours now but what if there is a problem, what if..'
' No! Paul doesn't think about bad things. They will be fine. Lili is an experienced maid. She helped in childbirth before. You have to believe in them. '
Just as he was started panicking again Zenith stopped screaming. Paul didn't wait knocking and welcomed himself in.
" How did it go?! Is Zenith ok?! Child! What about the child?!" He practically screamed.
He could see Zenith lying peacefully. Not asleep, just resting. And Lili was holding something small wrapped around in a towel.
" Master Paul. Yes, Lady Zenith has safely delivered a healthy child. The mother and the child are both ok. " Lilia replied while handing the child to his mother. " It's a boy my lady. "
Paul smiled like a fuccking idiot, which he kinda is. He quickly stood on the right side of his wife as Zenith looked at the new addition to our family.
" He has your hair dear. " Zenith said to him. She rubbed her rose with her child. The child as if sensing his mother turned his right arm toward his mother which Zenith happily held. " Look Paul! He is already moving his hand! Our son will be a genius in the future." She looked at her child with love that only a mother could have for their children. " Do you want to hold him dear?" She asked while looking towards him.
As expected as Paul is, he is also afraid. Afraid that he will do something to his child. But in the end, his excitement won over his fear. " Yes! Yes, of course! "
As his wife gave the little life in his arms, he couldn't help but notice how small he was. How this seemingly weightless life feels so heavy in his arms. How he noticed even a small amount of movements he makes.
As he looked at his son's face he knew at the very moment that he would give his life for his son. He knew without any doubt that he would do anything in his power to keep him safe.
' Sweet dreams son. Know that I will always protect you. Always.' He softly kissed his forehead as he promised.
