Arc 2(38)

                                    

                                          

The revelation that Yu Xin could become pregnant was a puzzle that both intrigued and puzzled Feng Li. The Imperial Doctor's words had shed light on a hidden truth, revealing a side of Yu Xin that neither of them had anticipated. It was like uncovering a well-kept secret, a piece of their world that had been hidden in plain sight. Could Yu Xin's unique nature as a fox fairy hold the answer to this unexpected ability? Feng Li pondered whether this ability was a gift passed down from Yu Xin's father, An Nuo.
The news had ignited a flame of excitement within Feng Li, urging him to shout their forthcoming parenthood from the rooftops. However, caution hold him back in. They were living in a world of alliances and rivalries, where revealing such a truth could put Yu Xin in danger. Feng Li's protectiveness prompted him to keep their secret safe, shielding Yu Xin from potential harm.
Meanwhile, Yu Xin lay in bed, his thoughts a whirlwind of emotions as he stared at the ceiling. The notion of becoming a parent filled him with a mixture of anticipation and wonder. His hand tenderly brushed over his belly, a simple touch that held volumes of affection and a promise of care.
Softly spoken words escaped his lips, a whispered message meant only for the tiny life growing within, "You're growing inside me. I'm so happy." A smile curved his lips, his gaze full of hope as he continued, "I'll make sure you're healthy. I'll protect you with all I have."
As Yu Xin's eyelids drooped, surrendering to the embrace of slumber, Feng Li's gaze remained fixed on his peaceful form. With a soft smile playing on his lips, Feng Li reached out to tuck the quilt around Yu Xin, a gesture of care and tenderness that spoke volumes.
The room was cast in a warm, comforting glow, a sanctuary of quietude as sleep's embrace enveloped Yu Xin. Feng Li's heart swelled with an overwhelming sense of affection as he watched over his slumbering spouse. It was a scene similar of another lifetime, a parallel existence where they had traversed similar paths, now culminating in this cherished moment.
As he adjusted the quilt, Feng Li's thoughts drifted, memories of their previous world echoing within him. In that distant reality, they had been parents before, guiding their children through the journey of life. The thought brought a bittersweet ache to Feng Li's heart, a pang of longing for the moments that had once been. He held a deep love for the children of their past, and the absence of their presence left an indelible mark on his soul.

 As days transformed into weeks, the curve of Yu Xin's belly swelled like a blossoming bloom, its size akin to a ripe watermelon. The once familiar comfort of his own body had gradually given way to an unfamiliar sensation, one that left him feeling restless and uneasy.
Amidst the passage of time, a moment of reckoning arrived. The Imperial Doctor's gentle words carried a sense of urgency, "Your Highness, it's time for the baby to be born."
Feng Li's acknowledgment was swift, a nod that set a chain of actions in motion. He issued orders to the bustling servants, the preparations for the impending arrival unfolding seamlessly. The atmosphere was charged with a blend of anticipation and concern, the weight of responsibility settling upon their shoulders.
In the dimly lit room, Yu Xin lay on the bed, his features betraying a pallor that contrasted against the backdrop of white linen. His trembling body was a testament to the ordeal he was enduring, the physical journey that was approaching its climax.
As the labor persisted, an air of tension intermingled with the scent of anticipation. Time seemed to stretch, elongating each moment as they waited for the baby's arrival. Yu Xin's face was etched with a mixture of pain and determination, his endurance echoing through the room.
Feng Li's concern was palpable, his voice tinged with anxiety as he addressed the Imperial Doctor, "Is there anything wrong?"

 The Imperial Doctor's head shook gently, his reassuring words falling like a soft murmur amidst the air, "No, Your Highness. All is proceeding as it should. A touch more patience is all that's required."
As the hours passed, time seemed to linger, each moment etched with the weight of anticipation and the ebb and flow of pain. Yu Xin's determination held firm, his teeth gritted against the intensifying ache that coursed through him. His body bore the strain with an unwavering resolve, a testament to his strength.
Amidst the hushed atmosphere, a sudden shift in the room's energy stirred. Yu Xin's breaths came in ragged gasps, his instincts guiding him through the labyrinth of pain. A surge of purpose engulfed him, a powerful urge that propelled him forward.
And then, amidst the palpable tension, the Imperial Doctor's voice cut through, carrying a proclamation that lit up the room, "The baby is coming!"
Summoning a reservoir of strength, Yu Xin pushed with a force that seemed to encompass all his being. His face, now flushed and glistening with sweat, bore the imprint of his struggle. And then, as if in response to his efforts, a cry pierced the air, a sound that reverberated with the arrival of new life.
"It's a boy," the Imperial Doctor's voice held a note of wonder, a declaration that held a world of meaning. In his hands lay a tiny form, delicate and miraculous.
Yu Xin's gaze locked onto the small figure, his heart swelling with an indescribable mix of emotions. Joy and love mingled within him, a potent elixir that coursed through his veins.
"Congratulations, Your Highness," the Imperial Doctor's words carried warmth, "You have a beautiful son." In that fleeting moment, as the infant's cries intertwined with their shared breaths, the room was alight with the glow of a new beginning.
As Yu Xin's gaze sought his newborn, a tide of sensation engulfed him, a surge of pain that rippled through his body. A cry, bold and unreserved, joined the symphony of life that enveloped the room. A new presence had graced the world.
Yet, before Yu Xin could fully absorb the sight before him, another crescendo of pain surged forth, punctuating the air with its intensity. Another cry erupted, another arrival marked by the sweet sound of life's entrance.
Amidst the swirl of emotions, Yu Xin's tears danced upon his lashes as he cradled his two gifts within his arms. Their fragility was palpable, their tiny forms nestled against him like precious jewels. A mixture of awe and tenderness bloomed within him, an unspoken promise to nurture and protect.
Feng Li's words carried a note of admiration, "You did well, Yu Xin," his voice a gentle murmur that resonated with pride.
A weak smile adorned Yu Xin's features, his response tinted with exhaustion, "I'm tired..."
With Feng Li's help, he was lifted, the weight of his exhaustion met with the strength of his partner's support. The babies, now nestled against his chest, were a living testament to the journey they had embarked upon. Their innocence radiated in their every breath, their soft cheeks caressed by Yu Xin's fingertips, their foreheads brushed by his loving kisses.
In this intimate moment, as their shared smiles illuminated the space between them, Feng Li's words carried a resonance that echoed through the heart, "They're our precious treasures." 

 As Feng Li's thoughts swirled within him, a sudden intrusion broke through, a voice that carried a chill in its tone, "Master, They are your children who followed you into this world."
Caught off guard, Feng Li's response was swift, a pause that hung in the air before he found his voice, "What do you mean? My children?"
A matter-of-fact reply emerged from the depths of his system, "Yes. Your system is responsible for bringing them here."
In the wake of these words, a tide of emotions surged within Feng Li. A warmth, soft and encompassing, radiated from his chest. The children he had held close in his memories had somehow traversed the boundary between worlds to find their place here.
Realization dawned upon him, a profound understanding that their presence was not merely confined to his reminiscences. They existed in this world, tangible and real, a revelation that left him awestruck.
