Chapter 61: Childbirth

Sasha, youre doing great!

While gently holding Sashas hand, I utter words of encouragement. As expected of the second childbirth, everyone in the mansion is well-prepared. Sasha, too, is more relaxed now than during her first childbirth, but nevertheless, giving birth to new life is still quite mentally and physically demanding.

The room made for the delivery had been further renovated for Sasha, so it should be more comfortable than during her first childbirth. Even so, Sasha looked to be enduring the pain with a brave smile on her face as she responded to me.

Itll be all right theres much less pain this time, and my Lord is by my side

Sasha Thats right. Im by your side, after all.

Yes

I have no recollection of being present during childbirth in either my previous lifes memories or in Callis, so this is a first for me. Even so, if it helps Sasha even a little bit, Id do anything.

It seems that in some countries, the father being present during childbirth is a breach of manners, but theres no such custom here. Thats why I can stay by Sashas side and support her during this. Ill finish my work later. Laurier was here until some time ago, too, but as it was time for her classes, she had to leave for a bit. Well, because Mother is here in the mansion as well, and can look after Laurier, I can stay here and support Sasha with peace of mind.

Like that, Sasha persevered for several hours. Then suddenly, Sashas tense body slackened, and I could see the midwife holding a newborn baby.

Congratulations! Its a girl.

All right!

I mentally shouted those words and took agutspose in my mind while holding Sashas hand, but before I could celebrate too much, the midwife spoke again.

Ah, theres still another one.

Huh? another one?

Yes~. It seems youre fathering twins~.

Hahaha, the midwife chuckled. Eh? Twins? Seriously? Certainly, with this worlds level of technology, they wouldnt be able to tell beforehand, but eh? Seriously? Sashas been carrying twins?

As I somehow sorted out my confusion, I once again squeezed Sashas hand and spoke.

Sasha, keep at it for just a while longer!

Yes

Sasha wore a brave smile throughout while I gently held her hand and encouraged her again and again. Before long, the second child was safely delivered, and with a smile, the midwife spoke.

Congratulations! A healthy girl and boy.

There,cradledin the midwifes arms, were my two new children. Thats right, my children. Laurier is, of course, also my child, but these two are the first children that Ive fathered since I became Callis. I dont know what Im thinking about right now, but as I involuntarily burst into tears, I squeezed Sashas hand and said.

Thank you, Sasha Thank you so much for bringing two new lives into our family!

Yes

After she spoke, I noticed Sasha was in tears as well. I almost reflexively hugged her then and there, but because theres still something Sasha needs to do, I instead quietly held her hand and enjoyed this happy moment with her.
