141 Chapter 141: The Baby’s Happy

Emy’s healthy and lively body can notice when they come home. Reed looked at his wife and couldn’t help but smile. When they went to the room, he hugged her and stroked her stomach.

“Are you full?” Reed whispered in Emy’s ear.

“Yeah,” Emy said. “It’s funny. Out of all the pregnant women, I’m the only one who eats emotions. Can’t our baby be ugly or have complications? I’m the only one who conceives the grudges.”

Reed chuckled. “That’s normal...” he turned Emy to face him. “You are an extraordinary woman.”

“I’m not weird; that’s just the power of love...” said Emy. “I’m willing to make you happy.”

“So love means sacrifices?”

“Love means anything. It can be happy, and it can be sad. That’s how mysterious love is. That’s why I still hope that you’ll love me. The truth is, you love me already, you can’t say it, and you’re not sure.”

“How could you say that? I don’t know what I’m feeling.”

“I know. I feel it too.”

.....

Reed just smiled and hugged Emy.

——

Emy went to bed early while Reed was busy cooking in the kitchen. Devin caught up with him where they had left earlier in the middle of the war.

“Wow, the king is cooking,” Devin said. “Isn’t Emy full?”

“Well, she’s full. That’s why she fell asleep early.”

“So why are you cooking?”

“She might be hungry when she wakes up.”

“Oh, okay.” said Devin, who just sat in front of the corner and watched him.”

He watches Reed, his demeanor, and his body. He notices Reed’s skin. “Your scars are disappearing. The one over your eyes is almost invisible. What happened?” Devin asked.

“It’s because of Emy.”

“What? Emy?”

“I told you we were destined for each other, and even if you interfere with our relationship, she’ll always be my queen.”

“So you believe in fate?”

“There is a being who patiently explains everything to me.”

“Creature?” Devin thought about it. He remembered when Reed was talking to someone but couldn’t see. “What creature?”

Reed just glanced at Devin but didn’t answer his question. Instead, he went to the fridge and took something from the freezer. Devin was surprised when Reed placed a gallon of ice cream on top of the nook in front of Devin.

“I don’t know if you’ll like the flavor, but the saleslady said it’s their best-selling flavor.”

Devin chuckled. “Jeez, should I kiss you?”

“Don’t do that because I’ll make your mouth bleed.”

Devin laughed. “It looks like you’re not jealous of me anymore... it’s too bad. I still want to see your jealous look.” Devin took the ice cream gallon and spoon. His eyes widened when he saw the flavor of the ice cream. “Nuts?”

“Why? Don’t you like nuts? I thought that was your favorite as far as I remember...”

“Well...” Devin said. “I just thought you forgot. I’m surprised.”

Reed didn’t speak when he saw Devin’s reaction. Of course, he knows Devin’s favorite. They were close before, super close. Everything changed after the war, and no one pointed out everything except Devin. He wanted the throne. No matter what happens to Reed, Devin will inherit the throne, which is why Reed couldn’t help but suspect the cousin. But because he was helping him with Emy, his actions slightly lessened his doubts about his cousin. Even his jealousy has almost disappeared.

“Where is your soldier?” Devin asked after taking his first taste of the ice cream. “I was giving her an order. She left for a while.”

Devin glanced again at what Reed was cooking. “Don’t you want to try other Asian cuisines like Japanese or Korean? You always cook Native Filipino food for Emy. She might get sick of that food.”

“I saw in a video that Pinoy food is healthy and soupy food is good for pregnant women.”

“Why? Are they going to drink that?”

Reed shrugged. “I don’t know either, as long as it’s important.”

Devin laughed.

Meanwhile, Emy woke up, and the sky was dark. She carefully stood up and noticed that her stomach had grown a bit bigger. She looked in the mirror in her room. Emy leaned over to see her belly bump. She smiled and rubbed her stomach.

“Hi, little man, mommy loves you..” Emy said while stroking her stomach.

She was slightly surprised when the baby moved inside her stomach. Her chest heaved when she felt like the baby had grabbed a finger that startled her. The baby stopped moving. Emy didn’t know why.

“Reed... Reed! Reed!”

Devin and Reed turned to hear Emy’s scream from the upper room. The two hurriedly ran, thinking something terrible had happened to Emy. When they opened the door, they saw Emy standing in front of the mirror. Immediately approached by Reed and Devin is Emy. Reed held both of Emy’s shoulders.

“What’s wrong?” Reed asked.

“Did someone come into your room? Does a demon want to hurt you?” Devin asked.

“I was just surprised...” Emy said.

Reed and Devin exchange glances, and then Reed looks at Emy. “Surprised where? Why?” Reed asked.

“The baby...he grabbed my finger.” Devin and Reed looked at each other. “How did he touch my finger?”

“Ah, we don’t know,” Devin said. “Only you will know then.”

Reed slightly pushed Emy to walk closer to the bed. He sat Emy there, and then he sat next to her. Reed held Emy’s stomach.

“Is it normal that he doesn’t move?”

“Have I?” Devin asked. Reed nodded and gently placed his palm on Emy’s stomach.

Reed and Emy were surprised when the baby moved. And Emy even felt as if the palm of the baby’s hand applied to Devin’s palm.

“Whoa!” Devin’s reaction was unbelievable when he felt the baby move in Emy’s stomach. “He’s moving...”

“The baby likes you..” said Emy.

“Really?” Devin laughed. “I can be his father too..”

“In your dreams, Devin.”

Devin laughed harder but didn’t say anything more. Reed looked at Emy.

“What happened?” Reed asked.

“Ah, I was just stroking my stomach when I woke up, and then the baby moved, and he grabbed my finger.”

Reed caressed Emy’s stomach. The baby follows every movement of Reed’s hand.

“I think you’re just shocked. The baby is very active. He seems happy.” Reed said. “And he stopped moving, knowing that you were scared.”

“Is that so?”

Reed nodded. “We’d better have dinner. You slept a little too long.”

Emy stood up, and Reed supported her. “The dessert is good too...” Devin said.

——-

While eating, Reed kept looking at Emy. Emy didn’t eat much of her food. Even the favorite ice cream was almost tasted and never paid attention to again.

“Don’t you feel like eating?” Reed asked Emy.

“Maybe they don’t like your cooking. But it’s delicious!” Devin said. “Don’t you like the stew? Reed made everything just for you.”

“Thank you, Reed, but I don’t know why but I don’t feel like it,” Emy said. “You know I like that food, but I can’t eat those now. I’m sorry.”

“No, you have to eat because your body needs human food. You’ll get weak if you don’t force it.”

Emy took a deep breath. “I don’t have an appetite, and I feel full.” Amy stood up. “I’ll just sit in the living room.”

Devin and Reed exchanged glances. They stood there watching Emy approach the sofa as she sat down and switched on the television.

“If she doesn’t eat human food, she might have trouble giving birth,” Devin said.

“I know that’s why I’m worried.”

“When her body is weak, she will have a hard time. Just ask her what she wants to eat.”

“Alright, I’ll spend a few minutes to make her feel hungry.”

Devin and Reed ate quickly and sat on the sofa next to Emy. Emy’s feet were raised on the center table in the living room while the pillow rested on her lap. Devin had an ice cream pint while Reed had a beer.

“Would you like something to eat?” Reed asked.

Emy shook her head. “I’m still full.”

“Is it a different cuisine? Maybe you want seafood instead of meat.” Devin said. “Or vegetables?”

.....

Emy also shook her head. “But you should eat human food,” Reed said.

Emy didn’t speak anymore. Instead, she rested her head on Reed’s shoulder. Reed wrapped his arm around Emy’s body and let her fall asleep on his chest again.

Dynhir and Eve didn’t expect Devin to visit them when he suddenly didn’t show up for almost a month. It comes with beer and ice cream, both of their favorites.

“What is this? A bribe?” Eve asked.

Devin just laughed but said nothing more. He sat next to Eve while Dynhir was on the other sofa.

“Is the queen pregnant?” asked Dynhir.

“Yeah, she is,” Devin said. He still remembered feeling the baby move in Emy’s stomach when he held it.

“So you’re really out of luck with that. You have nothing to wait for.” Eve said.

Devin chuckled. “I want some p*ssy tonight. Is your available?”

Eve stood up and sat on Devin’s lap. “Always available for you.”

Eve kissed Devin. Devin’s palm caressed Eve’s butt as her femininity slid steadily into his hardness. Dynhir shook his head and did not leave his seat on the single-seater sofa. He let the two do what they wanted to do.

He drinks beer while eating ice cream. Weird for humans but delicious for a demon like them. Dynhir frowned when he saw an incident in the news. Later he smiled when he recognized the perpetrator.

“Demons are everywhere...” Dynhir whispered, then took a drink of beer.

“Aah, shit, oh!”

He turned to Devin and Eve. He shook his head, stood up, and left the two in the living room.
