Reborn

Chapter 11

Y/n would make a good mother, Zhongli concluded. Very early on in fact. Children love her and she loved children back.

"Well, I always liked kids. That's why I'm a teacher!"

Even when she's not teaching, children are always rushing up to her. Eager to see, play, and chat with her. Children from wide ranges come to talk to her. Toddlers, children, early teens, mid-teens, and late teens.

"Miss. Y/n!"

As expected, a wave of children snatched her away. Giggling and chattering, the children were so eager to have her all to themselves. And Y/n couldn't have it any other way.

Yes. She would, no, will make a wonderful mother.

That night, during dinner....

"Y/n?"

"Hmm?"

"Let's have children."

There were ups and downs to the process. Finding balance, time, and...some issues. Fertility issues to be exact. As soon as Y/n learned about the issues, she started to cry.

"I'm sorry I disappointed you."

The news devastated her as any person would. Eager and excited to start a family.

"It's alright, darling. We can keep trying."

And try they did. A month started to pass then another and another. Until...

"I have something I need to tell you."

Her back pressed against his chest, her head tilted back to look up at him. She softly smiled and linked her hand with his, giving it a gentle squeeze.

"We did it."

Gently pressing kisses against the column of her neck, he murmured.

"Thank you."

Time started to pass by, her tummy growing rounder. The baby grew and their kicking began. To the point, both Y/n and Zhongli had to take parental leave from work. The children were disappointed but they understood, if not, excited once they learned Y/n is pregnant.

"Do you care if you have a son?" Y/n once asked him.

A son would be ideal. Someone to carry the name and continue his work as the next possible God of Contracts. If he has a daughter, he wouldn't mind. He'd still teach her the same. Nor would he treat her differently from a son.

"Son or no, our child will not be treated or raised any differently."

Much to the married couple's surprise, they're expecting twins! The genders are unclear but regardless, it is exciting for them!

"Maybe we'll have both a girl and a boy."

Gently cupping a hand against her round tummy, Zhongli softly pressed a kiss to her neck.

"Yes. Hopefully."
