3 Rebirth.

Anxiety, those were the expressions that could be seen on the faces of everyone in the room. The room was filled with midwives, and a woman had been in labor for some time now, but the baby wasn't coming out.

Everyone was getting afraid that there might be some complications.

"Pushhhhh! You can do this". The midwife that was close to Emma voiced out, she was the one helping her go through childbirth.

"Ahhhhhh". Emma shouted pushing with all her might, but the baby wasn't still coming out, they haven't even sighted his head.

An alchemist had already told Emma months ago that the baby she was carrying was a boy using a supernatural object, but why was the baby boy taking time to come out? What was the problem? The midwives were getting more worried.

"Keep trying, you can do this, pushhhh!". The midwife uttered to Emma once again.

"But I'm getting really tired". Emma voiced out.

"You can do this, don't give up".

"Ahhhhh". Emma shouted pushing with all her might once again, and things were different this time, the baby's head had come out.

A smile appeared on the face of the midwife close to Emma as she stated, "You've done a great job, Emma, the baby's head has come out. Now, I'm gonna drag the baby's whole body outside, stay still".

She held the baby's head gently and began dragging his whole body outside. After some seconds, she had dragged the baby's whole body outside, and the midwives around couldn't help but smile.

"Finally, it's been done, the baby is well and healthy, and the mum is well and healthy as well". The midwife said holding the baby with both hands.

The baby was covered in blood, and something seems strange, the baby wasn't crying, newborn babies are supposed to be crying.

"The baby isn't crying, this is different, newborn babies are supposed to be crying". The midwife uttered once again.

"Maybe this is a very special baby". Another midwife that was at the far end of where Emma was lying voiced out.

"Hmm, maybe, clean up the baby, he's covered in blood". The midwife uttered handing the baby boy to another midwife to clean the blood off him.

Handing the baby over, the midwife glanced at Emma and voiced out, "Your baby has been born, he is sound and healthy".

"Yes, I saw him, I want to hold my baby". Emma uttered with a bit of weak voice.

"You'll feel him in your hands soon, let them clean the blood off him".

Emma only managed to nod her head. Meanwhile, while one of the midwives was cleaning the blood off the baby's body, the baby was glancing around trying to understand what was happening...what was happening around him.

He managed to glance at his body, and he came to a realization,

'I have been reborn just as the harem god told me. So I'm a baby now? I'll live the life of a baby once again, I'll watch myself grow. From getting shot in the face, then meeting with the demi-gods, and now, reborn as a baby? What a journey'. Little Aiden thought to himself.

He glanced at the gigantic woman cleaning the blood off him and thought to himself once again,

'This must be an adult, look at how gigantic she is. Don't worry, I'll grow up, and you wouldn't look gigantic to me anymore'.

Done cleaning the blood off the baby, she handed him over to the other midwife, and the midwife handed him over to his mum.

Emma pecked the baby's forehead and said, "Finally, a baby boy".

Meanwhile, outside the room where the childbirth had already taken place, a man in his early 'forties was pacing back and front, he was really worried. He goes by the name, Ethan, and he was Emma's husband.

For minutes now, none of the midwives had come out of the room to give him the news of his wife's condition. That news he wanted to hear, 'Your wife has successfully given birth to a baby boy', and he was getting really worried.

He was an averagely-tall man with a little mustache and beards under his jaw. He wore black clothing, black trousers, tucked in, a brown leather belt, and black leather shoes to match it all. In few words, he was dressed like a warrior.

He didn't wear those fashionable long robes as most men do, those weren't his type of dressing. He was a warrior, always ready to defend himself or his family at any given time. He possesses two power elements, water and wind, but he was referred to as a D-rank bender 'cause his main ability was wind...that was the first ability he awakened...

His wife could have gone through childbirth at home with the help of some closeby midwives, but he wanted it to take place here...the main place for childbirth.

Right now, he wasn't at rest at all as he kept on pacing back and front. He was still moving back and forth when the door to the room suddenly opened and a midwife came out of it.

"So, how's my wife doing? Has the baby been born?". Ethan inquired of the midwife the moment she came out of the room.

"Yes, congratulations, you now have a son. Your wife and the baby are doing okay". The midwife retorted.

A smile appeared on Ethan's face as he couldn't hold back his joy. He voiced out,

"Yes! Finally, I now have a son. Can I come see them?".

"Yes, you can". The midwife uttered paving way for Ethan to enter.

He dashed into the room and was so happy to see his beautiful wife carrying the baby in her hands. He walked closer to her and uttered,

"May I? May I carry our son?".

She handed the baby over to, Ethan, and the first thing he did was peck the baby's forehead. Then he raised the baby and voiced out,

"A baby has been born into the Dankworth family, a baby has been born into the Tuvalon Kingdom. I now have a son, I won't be mocked anymore".

Ethan and Emma got married in their 'twenties. Ethan was 26 years old, and Emma was 23 years old when they got married. They were so much in love with each other, and their parents approved of their marriage.

But it took them seven years to have their first child. Within that span of seven years, Ethan was mocked. Most men in the same age group as him had already given birth to sons, but he didn't have a daughter not to talk of having a son.

Having a son in this kingdom was very important, you'll be showered with respect, and you can have high ranks when it comes to political matters. But even if you have children, but don't have a son, you won't be considered an outcast, but you won't be respected that much.

Even if you're able to make it into politics, you'll be in a very low rank. In the seventh year, Ethan and Emma managed to have a child. A female, and she was named, Hazel, a very beautiful girl. Ethan was 33 years at that time, and Emma was 30 years old.

But even when Ethan now had a child, the mockery didn't stop, instead, it reduced. He hadn't given birth to a son, so he wasn't well respected yet. He managed to become a chief, but a low-ranked one. The one that couldn't even give his opinion when it comes to issues regarding the kingdom, but has a part to play.

He was a bender, a chief, and a warrior at the same time, but he wasn't still respected. Their daughter, Hazel, was 7 years old currently, which means it took them another seven years before they could have another kid. And just as the alchemist had already told them...it was a boy.

Ethan wouldn't be mocked anymore, his ranking as a chief could even increase, his joy knew no bounds at this moment. He pecked his wife on the forehead and said,

"Thanks for staying alive with the child".

Then he glanced at the child in his hands once again and voiced out,

"I wonder what his power element would be? From now on, you'll be called, Aiden Dankworth".

"Hmmm, that's a nice name". One of the midwives commented.

"I agree with you". Another midwife commented.

"Do you think Hazel would be happy to have a younger brother?". Emma inquired of her husband holding his hand.

"Yes, I think so, while you were pregnant with the baby, she knew it was male, but she didn't act in any way that shows she wouldn't love to have a younger brother. So, it's okay". Ethan responded.

Emma just nodded her head.
