Leon Greyrat: The Second Son - Mushoku Tensei OC

Chapter 94 - Meeting the Dragon God

— Eris Greyrat —

My name is Eris Greyrat, a Sword King who has gained the nickname of 'Mad Wolf' and the wife of the most amazing man in the world, Leon Greyrat.

But more importantly...

"You're pregnant," Leon said, smiling as his hands moved from my belly up to my head. "Congratulations, Eri. And... thank you."

More importantly, I was also a future mother.

I felt my heart soar as he pulled me into a kiss, my hands wrapping around his neck to grasp his small ponytail as my tongue invaded his mouth.

I... was finally pregnant, after such a long time of trying.

Perhaps, just as Leon had said, I really did need to calm down my training in order for my husband's seed to take root.

Detaching our lips, I felt my lips spread into a wide smile as our eyes stared into each other's.

"I'm excited, Leon," I said. "I can't wait to give you a boy."

He smiled back as he shook his head. "I don't care if it's a boy or not. I'll love them-"

"It's a boy," I said, cutting him off.

I could feel it.

In my belly, growing stronger with each day, was my child. The one that would become the heir to the Greyrat name.

Though... we weren't nobles... nor did I want us to be anything like that... but I was still happy to provide Leon with a son considering Aria and Anna were both girls.

Plus, I would be sure to train him into a good swordsman.

"Okay... do you want to do something to celebrate?" he asked, raking his hand through my hair in the way that always made me melt. "Sylphy's guarding Ariel, so we could spend the day together if you'd like. Though I would still have to watch Aria and Anna."

Narrowing my eyes, I quickly shook my head.

"No. Just... stay here with them," I said, getting up from the bed. "You're... father is still home, right?"

"Hm? Yeah, I believe so," he said, a bit confused. "Why?"

"I... just need to do something first," I said, quickly throwing on a shirt and pair of pants as I headed into the hallway.

Walking down the stairs and out into the chilly morning air, I began contemplating about my feelings now that I was pregnant.

I was excited, for sure, but at the same time... I was worried.

I had been something of a mother to Aria and Anna over these past months since coming back home, but still... was that enough?

I didn't know, and there was only one way I could find out.

If it was Leon, Roxy, or Sylphy, they would probably have a much better way to ease these worries, but I wasn't them.

I was a stupid girl who didn't know how to handle her feelings, and I had long since accepted that.

So this was the only way for me.

Gripping the two wooden swords that I had grabbed on my way out the door, I hastened my pace down the cobblestone road, spurred on by the biting cold as I felt my blood pump through my body.

"Hm? Eris? What are you doing over here so early?" Paul said, tilting his head as he finished his last swing.

I guess he was training in the morning, just like he did back in Buena Village.
