219 – 78. Being a parent (2)

“Isn’t there anything uncomfortable these days?”

Mary was always busy asking about her restless Elijah’s condition.

“If something is inconvenient, it’s better to resolve it right away. “Because the mother’s health is also the child’s health.”

“Yes. Okay.”

Being pregnant becomes difficult in many ways.

Both body and mind.

Even if you carry out the same daily routine as usual, you quickly become tired or fatigued.

But Elijah has never been like that.

She didn’t even have morning sickness.

The difference is that at some point her appetite began to grow.

She sleeps more and more deeply than before.

That much?

Even my sexual desire, which was already high, suddenly exploded.

This is a secret that only Judah and himself know.

How fortunate she was that it was okay to love her.

“They say that not everyone experiences symptoms at the same time. You never know when she might suddenly get morning sickness. “You should always talk to May.”

“Yes, yes.”

Elijah was happy to hear Mary’s nagging like this.

Even though she’s a nag, she doesn’t say it as if she’s scolding her.

I feel like they are trying to comfort me because I am worried.

Judas also takes great care of himself.

I originally knew that he was pampered.

Ever since I got pregnant.

It got worse, especially after I got full.

“Ellie. “What do you want to eat today?”

“Umm….”

As Elijah’s appetite increased, the food she wanted to eat every day changed.

“I want to eat chicken today. “It’s fried in oil.”

Even though she doesn’t cook herself, she asks Yuda every day.

I just wanted to know Elijah’s condition.

I like his interest, so Elijah answers with a sincere smile every time.

“It looks like the baby wants to eat chicken.”

“Hmph. And Eli wants to eat Judas too.”

“… “I’ll have that for a late-night snack later.”

At Judah’s playful words, Elijah burst into laughter.

Judas gently stroked her stomach.

Noticeably convex belly.

When I look at it, I feel complicated.

Within her, the fruit of her love between herself and her is alive.

This is like a lie.

Her feelings of respect for Elijah also sprouted.

Fortunately Elijah is less distressed by her pregnancy, but she will never be any more comfortable than usual.

Still, Elijah always speaks with a smile.

“My child is in here, I can’t be having a hard time.”

Judah is just thankful for her.

“Would you like to check if you are doing well today?”

I put my ear to her stomach every day without fail.

She has not yet heard the fetus move.

She once heard a sound like thunder, which she attributed to Elijah’s hunger for her.

She was so surprised.

‘It’s quiet today too.’

The moment I thought that.

-Dung!

A dull sound vibrated in Elijah’s stomach.

“?!”

She raised her head in surprise.

I met Elijah’s widened eyes.

“Well, just now…” .”

“Did Ellie feel it too?”

“Ugh… !”

Judas quickly put his ear to her again.

And after a while.

-Dung!

The vibration spread again.

Something like a dull impact sound spreading through the water.

The fetus has begun.

“… ….”

Judah forgot her words for a moment.

She just quietly put her ear to Elijah’s stomach.

Unfortunately, the fetal movements were not heard again.

When she raised her head, Elijah was smiling excitedly.

“My child said hello! Yes?”

“Yes. “I guess it was because I wanted to see it quickly.”

“I want to see you soon too.”

Elijah laughed and patted her stomach.

A child who strongly showed off his presence for the first time today.

Judas was curious.

What will it actually look like?

“Okay. “I want to see you soon too.”

I just hope you come out healthy.

There was nothing more I could ask for.

The color of the imperial palace garden changed.

Depending on the season, they dress up in various colors and then change their clothes.

Colorful flowers bloomed and then turned green.

The garden, which was painted in a refreshing blue light, took on a cozy brown color as the weather got colder.

To welcome a child, Judah and Elijah studied parenting every single day.

It was too much information for just the two of us to know, so we shared it with Richard and Beninita.

Richard spoke in a rare serious voice.

“… Ah. Really, I never even thought about it…. I guess I didn’t have a solution. Thank you, Judah. Sincerely.”

“Something like this.”

Richard and Beninita were already embracing Erin with her love.

Elijah’s parenting theory was added to that unconditional attitude.

Former Demon World, current North Korea.

People moved to a land where there were no people.

The city was built.

Farming began, and commerce also developed.

Under Elijah’s rule, the world accepted a new order.

Robberies and thefts that occurred frequently are gradually disappearing.

Imperial Knights under Elijah were deployed to each city to exercise administrative power in charge of security, and even created an organization to monitor him.

Elijah adjusted the world for the child he would meet in the future.

Is it because the light that spread from Canaan illuminated the world?

This year, there was not a single poor harvest.

All farmlands yielded bountiful harvests.

Like that.

A fall day perfect for rolling around in a pile of fallen leaves filled with spotted leaves.

Elijah’s birth date has arrived.

“Ellie… !”

Elijah’s condition was unusual from that morning.

The contractions that had been coming intermittently for a few days were intense today.

In the midst of the pain that felt like lightning was tearing his body apart, Elijah was convinced.

‘Today is…’ .’

May and Maria quickly finished preparing for childbirth, and Elijah lay down on the blanket with his legs spread.

Elijah swallowed his fear as he imagined the pain of his childbirth.

Although there is anesthesia magic, this magic paralyzes the target’s muscles and nerves so that they cannot feel pain.

In other words, if you use it during childbirth, you may not be able to give birth.

It’s difficult if your muscles don’t work properly.

Therefore, Elijah had to accept the pain as is.

“Whoa…” .”

Judas was beside her, holding her hand and praying.

Even though I don’t believe in God.

‘Please…’ .’

I know that Elijah is healthy.

As her mother is healthy, her child will also be healthy.

We all know that feeling anxious and weak is human nature.

What a blessing.

Just in case, with a very, very low probability, something bad happens.

I was afraid that something irreparable would happen to the child and Elijah.

‘Please, don’t do that….’

She patted his hand as Elijah held it tightly.

“It’ll be okay.”

“… ….”

Only then did Judas loosen her grip.

She was holding on too strong.

“… Sorry.”

“No. Are you okay. “Just being by my side gives me strength.”

Even though he was sweating coldly, Elijah said that.

Judah brought her to her senses.

Elijah is having a harder time than himself.

So, I shouldn’t be like this.

Looking at those golden eyes that had suddenly become determined, Elijah felt relieved.

As soon as she did that, her pain skyrocketed.

“Wow… !”

I gritted my teeth and held on.

Childbirth has begun.

It was a pain close to death.

It may be obvious.

It is about bringing new life into the world.

Of course something like that should follow.

“Ellie. Take a breath. Slowly.”

Judah, who had suddenly calmed down, held her hand and comforted her with his low, soft voice.

His voice is like light, someone I have relied on and followed since I was young.

“It’s okay. Are you okay. It’ll turn out okay.”

If he says so, it means so.

He is my miracle. Because it is light and rest.

It wasn’t long, but it was a pain I’ve never experienced in my life.

A disappointing feeling of weight leaving the body.

Elijah, out of breath, heard.

The first word I cry after coming into the world.

“Aaaaa!”

Elijah vividly heard that powerful greeting.

May cried out after receiving her child.

“Your Majesty! Congratulations! “You are a healthy princess!”

Judah took her child in her gloved hands.

Her hands were shaking endlessly.

I’m scared of dropping it.

May carefully placed the child on his hand.

It’s bright red, covered in amniotic fluid.

It is a life so small that it is scary to even carelessly move it while holding it in one’s hand.

“Aaaaa!”

The thing crying sadly was the child of himself and Elijah.

Judas gritted his teeth for once and held back from crying.

I couldn’t stop the tears from flowing.

I just showed it to Elijah carefully.

“Ellie…. Look. “It’s our child.”

Mary also laughed and cried.

As her mother straightened her hair, Elijah saw the creature held by her companion.

The life that escaped from her own body.

A child whom I cherished for nearly 10 months.

The reason for creating this world.

The child of himself and Judah.

It was the fruit of love.

“Me too…. I want to hug you….”

Judah slowly placed her child in her arms.

“Aaaaah!”

After holding the hot child, Elijah realized. She says that when she gave birth, Mary felt like a god.

Because she felt like she could do anything for her child.

Elijah understood that feeling perfectly.

He can achieve anything in the world for this child.

Whatever it is. Certainly. Must.

‘This child’s name is…’ .’

What should I call it?

Now we can decide for sure.

‘Our child is now….’

The beginning will be Judas.

He loved himself first and gave love.

That is the beginning of this meeting.

So, this child’s name is also love.

Because love saved me, saved you, and will save this world.

“Love….”

Elijah said with tears in his eyes.

“This child’s name is love…. It’s Amor….”

A child whose name is love.

This was a child who would be called love.

Judas agreed with her and laughed.

“Okay…. Amor. Good. “It’s a good name.”

It was the day Amor di Bevel was born.
