M/n's POV

My foot tapped the floor of the hallway, causing dust to fly up and dance on the ground. I sat in the hallway right outside of the hospital room that Basil was in, giving birth to three more of our children. I couldn't help the smile that spread across my lips as I looked at our three-year old sons. S1/n was showing Hannah his powers and so far all he could do was grow small flowers and conjure up multi-colored dust. Hannah encouraged him and tried to teach him a bit. S2/n was busy chasing the triples and pretending to be a fearsome dragon. Claude stood next to me, emotionless as ever, and turned to me. "Your Majesty?"

I continued to watch my kids but hummed in response. Claude coughed and cleared his throat. "How exactly did you manage to get another male pregnant?" 

"Well it was---wait what?" It took me a second to realize what he asked me. I looked up at his emotionless face which now had a nice pink blush on it. I coughed in my hand and looked at him. "I uh. Why do you ask?"

Claude pushed his glasses up on his face and his blush darkened. "W-well. My um boyfriend wanted to ask some questions himself but he got really sick this morning so he couldn't come into work and ask. He says he wants a child but I'm not sure how two demon males could possibly do that, whether its him or me pregnant it just doesn't make sense."

I kind of just stared at Claude for a second, his blush just got darker and spread over his face. Before I could say anything Claude screamed out, "At least say something and stop staring at me!" Everyone paused and just looked at Claude. His entire face burned red and he coughed into his hand. "P-please continue with your business." Everyone stared for a second longer before awkwardly continuing to do what they were doing previously. "Um. Sorry for raising my voice Your Majesty." 

Claude bowed and I waved him off. "Its completely fine. Anyway, lucky for you demons happen to be something I know almost everything about. You see, just like dragons both a male and female demon can become pregnant but unlike dragons whose females can also impregnate someone, only male demons can impregnate another." I taped my chin as Claude wrote in a notebook that was pulled out of nowhere. "Oh! Demon pregnancy also last a lot longer than humans at a year and a half but that can vary from demon to demon. Plus I heard its very painful for both people involved in the pregnancy."

Claude seemed to jump a little and showed a tiny bit of shock and possibly fear. "Wait, what? Your Majesty, why is it---?"

Derna opened the door and I immediately stood to my feet. The beautiful blooming flowers in Derna's multi-colored hair gave me relief. "Come on, King. Time to meet your family." Derna smiled lovingly just like before and I returned the gesture. 

I ushered the boys inside and turned to Claude before walking in. "Sorry to pause our conversation but I'm sure we can continue later, yes?"

Claude still stood sort of shocked but nodded anyway. 

The boys quickly ran to their mother's side and stared at their little sisters in awe. I chuckled into my hand and joined them at the bed. Basil laid on the bed with three baby girls on his chest. He was breathing heavily and was covered in sweat. I picked up both boys and sat them down on the bed. Basil smiled slightly and waved at them. I pointed at the babies, "These are your little sisters. Aren't they cute?" S1/n's s1/e/c eyes sparkled as he gently touched the first girl's hair. S2/n just stared at them from afar but I could see the love in his eyes. I stood next to Basil and kissed his forehead despite the sweat. "Did you come up with names yet, love?"

Basil closed his eyes and spoke softly. "The one on my left arm is D1/n d1/m l/n." She had the darkest hair which was a dark d1/h/c. Her fist balled up and she sneezed slightly causing some flames to shoot out of her nose???

'More magic kids, brilliant!' I gently picked her up and rocked her back and forth, making her smile. 'Seems she doesn't have dragon features. She may be a full-fledged magic user!'

"The one on my chest is D2/n d2/m l/n. She seems to be very angry." I was confused for a second until I looked at her d2/s/c face, her expression was scrunched up and her hands were clenched making me and S1/n laugh. She had a normal shade of d2/h/c hair and I could see tiny horns on her head. 

I gently held one of her hands but not even a tiny glow showed up. 'Ah, she must be a full dragon child.' I smirked slightly. 'So cool.' S2/n was staring at her in amazement and he looked at me, silently pleading to hold her. I nodded, "Just be very gentle and careful, okay?" He nodded furiously and gently scooped her into his arms. 

Basil lifted his right arm slightly which held our last child. "Her name is D3/n d3/m l/n. I think she takes after your goofy nature." I giggled because I think he's right, her lips seemed to be captured in a permanent smile. She had a very light color of d3/h/c hair that stood up in all directions. It didn't seem like she showed any signs of magic or dragon but who knows what could happen in the future.

"They're beautiful Basil." I looked at him but chuckled when I saw that he fell asleep. I looked around the room and saw no sign of Derna so I assume he already did what he needed to. I glanced to the side and saw a large bed for our babies on a wheeled table. I walked over and set D1/n down in inside before pushing it over to the bed. I gently lifted D3/n into the bed and S2/n gently laid D2/n inside as well. I smiled and brushed all of their hair out of their faces before turning to my boys. "Alright boys, since mam is sleeping you both should be too." S1/n made no complaints and started towards the door while S2/n groaned and dragged himself behind his brother. I smiled and kissed Basil's head. "I'll be back after I tuck them in."

Basil cracked open one eye and nodded before turning over and closing his eye again.

I gently closed the door as I heard the snores of both my baby boys. I made my way back to the hospital room and gently climbed in bed behind Basil. The lights were off but the moonlight from the window lit the room up just enough. To my surprise he turned over and looked at me through sleepy eyes. "Oh M/n. I love you so much, you've given me five amazing children and unconditional love. I feel like I owe you so much." A small tear slid down his cheek as he smiled.

I gently wiped his tear away and kissed his cheek. "There's only two things you can do for me." I reached into my sweats' pocket and pulled out a small square box. I put it in front of Basil's face and opened it revealing a white wedding band with three flame colored gems on top and small dragon wings framing them. Basil's eyes widen and he gasped. "You can live in my castle and marry me. We would stay and rule the kingdom as a family. Everything I am and ever will be will all be shared with you. Only if you say yes." I looked at Basil with nothing but love as his eyes watered.

He gently touched my face and leaned in for a kiss. I kissed him back and placed my free hand around his waist. Basil slowly pulled away and smiled so bright. "A thousand times yes." I took the ring out of the box and gently slid it on his finger. 

I kissed his hand and pulled him flush against me. "You'll never truly know how much I love you." I kissed his chest and laid against him carefully.

Basil ran his hand through my h/l h/c hair and hummed. "Well, you have the rest of our lives to show me exactly how much."

I chuckled against his chest and smiled. "I'll spend every breath just to tell you."
