Chapter 775: Good News, Cheeky Little One

It’s been a year since Luna became pregnant with their child. 

Right now, her stomach bulged a bit signifying the growth of the child. The couple couldn’t be anymore satisfied with their daily lives, watching their child grow up. Each day was filled with happiness and love. 

Currently, the two of them are resting at the open space within the Sky Palace. They just finished eating their lunch. 

Raven hugged Luna from behind, his hand were placed on her stomach, gently caressing it with a gentle expression on his face. They looked over the horizon and enjoyed the peaceful silence between them. 

“…I think it’s about time we let them know.” Luna said softly, turning to her husband. 

“Hmm…” Raven thought for a bit, he pouted a bit and said: “But I wanted to keep them a secret for a little bit longer though.” 

“But you’re right.” Raven chuckled after seeing his wife frown. “Any longer than this and they’d think something was up. We don’t want to ruin the surprise after all.” 

“Should we go now?” Luna asked. 

“Yeah. It’s perfect since our parents are in one place anyway.” Raven peered towards the direction of the Empire. His vision zoomed in to the Valorheart Estate where his and Luna’s parents are spending time in the garden. 

The Old King Alexander was playing chess with Luis while their wives, Eva and Elizabeth were tending to the flowers. 

Raven waved a hand. In front of them, a spatial tunnel appeared. The people on the other side sensed the spatial fluctuations and looked towards where they felt it. 

They then saw Raven and Luna walked towards them, smiling. The four were oblivious at first but when they finished traversing through the spatial passage. Luna smiled at them and placed a hand on his stomach. 

“Oh my gosh!!!”

Eva and Elizabeth instantly discovered what she’s trying to tell them and rushed forward to hug her. Raven stepped aside while chuckling. 

Seeing their wives clamoring all over Luna, Alexander and Luis also understood the message. Alexander laughed uproariously while Luis smiled. The both of them patted Raven’s back and congratulated them. 

“How long have you been pregnant?”

“Is it a boy or a girl?”

“What would be their name?” 

“Are you eating good food?”

“Are you alright? Do you feel sick or something.”

“Woah, take easy there Ladies.” Raven chuckled on the side, rescuing Luna from the barrage of questions the two mothers asked. “One step at a time, please. You’re stressing her out.” 

“Oh, right.” Elizabeth chuckled with Eva. “Sorry, Dear. We were too excited you see.” 

“It’s fine, Mom.” Luna laughed, “Well, to answer your question. I’ve been pregnant for a year now. Yes, I am eating well and I feel perfectly fine. The mortal symptoms doesn’t affect me since this isn’t any regular pregnancy.”

“We calculated that she’d be pregnant for a least three years.” Raven interjected. “We plan on letting the child choose their own name and choose who’s last name they want to use.”

“That’s a good idea.” Alexander chimed-in. “I don’t mind whoever surname they go with, all I want for my grandchild to be happy.”

“Indeed. That’s the most important thing.” Luis added. 

“This calls for a celebration!” Eva excitedly announced as she pulled Luna and Elizabeth inside the house to grab some things. 

Luna and Raven spent some time with their parents. After that, they also brought the good news to their closest friends. Sufficed to say, Anne and Ellen became a little to emotional upon hearing the news. Meanwhile Paul was devastated since he lost a bet with Mark. 

The both of them bet on who’s going to be parents first, it’s between Paul and Ellen against Raven and Luna. Paul was confident about himself since him and Ellen had been trying ever since they got home however they didn’t expect that Raven and Luna will be the first one. 

Since he lost, Paul lost a valuable wine that he strictly kept for grand occasions to Mark – who mercilessly drank all of it in front of Paul’s grieving face, not even leaving a single drop behind. 

The two guys of course congratulated Raven and Luna. Mark also revealed that him and Anne were also trying to conceive a child through natural means. Since Raven and Luna succeeded, they saw hope in continuing with the natural way. 

Luna’s pregnancy wasn’t wildly spread. It was only revealed to their family and closest friends. The two of them didn’t want to alarm the entire Empire about this…at least nor for now. 

Of course the two of them were planning to celebrate the birth of their child to show just how proud they are. But since it’s not going to happen soon, then there’s no need to fuss over it for now. 

Once they brought the news to their family and friends, the two of them went back to the Sky Palace and continued living their daily lives in peace. 

Their family and friends visits them from time to time in order to observe the child’s growth. Luna already learned stitching from her mother and is now creating the cloth they plan on using to wrap their child with. 

Luna refused to settle for second best. Therefore the materials she used were of the highest quality there is. She was determined to pamper this child through all means possible. And even if she didn’t, Raven would be the one to do it instead, anyways. 

Their daily lives still continued, filled with peace, love and music. None of them felt exhausted nor bored. They feel satisfied and contented with this. Seeing their child grow up every single day under their care. 

Three months after they brought the news to their friends and family, the two of them felt the first movement of the child. 

Luna and Raven fussed over the child, asking them to do it again and the child eagerly did so. They haven’t heard the child speak yet but it’s fine. They still talked to them. 

The child was energetic. The time they spent conscious wasn’t long but it’s enough for the Luna and Raven. 

Their child like it whenever they played music. Whenever they do, the child would move inside Luna’s womb as if it wad dancing under the tune, causing the two of them to laugh. The child also likes to fall asleep to Raven’s bedtime stories which in turn made the two of them even happier. 

Their lives just got even better from this point onwards. With their child showing this much activity even without being born yet, they knew that they were doing this the right way. 

Days passed and after three more months, the baby can now transmit what they feel to their parents. The little one was very expressive. They were never shy to tell what they feel, much to their parent’s amusement. 

The little one expressed its fondness over music and the bedtime stories. It also expressed happiness whenever Luna eats spiritual energy rich fruits. They expressed curiosity over birds and animals. They also expressed their fondness with the sky and clouds. 

The time they can stay conscious also increased. Not by much of course but every moment the baby’s awake, was celebrated by Luna and Raven. 

Their child’s development made Luna and Raven’s lives even more colorful. They felt nothing but boundless joy over the simple curiosities of their child. The little one was already acquainted with their large family, it repeated expressed their excitement and slight impatience about being born. 

More time passed and Luna has been pregnant for two years. A good news reached them concerning about their closest friends. Anne and Ellen were pregnant. The former were a month earlier than the latter, still it was a great news. They celebrated this at the sky palace. 

Though the biggest surprise has yet to come…

One day while Raven and Luna were playing music for the little one, Luna suddenly felt a little bit weird. Raven discovered this and asked what’s wrong. Luna told him that she’s felt weird but why exactly is unknown. 

The two of them also discovered that the little one was strangely quiet today. Their child weren’t communicating them that much today. 

All of a sudden, Luna’s stomach glowed much to their surprise. Raven hurried checked what’s happening but he didn’t sense anything wrong nor that their child was in any danger. Luna’s stomach continued glowing for a bit until it faded. 

They waited for something to happen but all they got was silence. They tried talking to the little one but they weren’t responding which made Raven and Luna nervous. They repeated coaxed the little to one, trying to probe what’s wrong since they really can’t feel anything. 

It was then that the little one responded. 

“M-ma…ma…”

Luna gasped. 

“P-pa…pa…”

Raven also gasped. 

The two of them looked at each other, eyes widening in disbelief. The voice was faint and weak but they heard it loud and clear. The little one just called Luna ‘Mama’ and Raven ‘Papa’. 

It didn’t take long before the waterworks started with the two of them fussing over their cheeky child.
