Chapter 7: Daughters
While everyone was looking forward to Xu Yi's rare appearance in front of the public, Xu Yi was pacing anxiously outside a bedroom in the Falling Star Manor, glancing at the door of the bedroom from time to time, his eyes were also full of anticipation.
The door to the bedroom was closed, and only a few shouts could be heard from inside, and Steele's moans, which were faintly audible.
The human women on the continent of Sainz are no different from the human women on the earth, and they will also conceive children, and they will also be born after ten months of badness.
That's right, Steele is going to have a baby!
Xu Yi didn't know what kind of mood he was in now, he only felt that it was extremely complicated and difficult to express.
When he was on Earth, because he focused on mechanical research, he had few opportunities to contact girls since he was a child, let alone fall in love, but after coming to this Sainz continent, he accidentally met Steele here, and finally combined with Steele, and now he is about to have his own child!
Although he could have predicted the arrival of this day on the day he married Steele, when it really came to this day, Xu Yi was still a little dazed and at a loss.
Going to be a dad?
But what does it really look like to be a father?
Was Steele's baby a boy or a girl?
What should I call if it's a boy, and what should I call if it's a girl?
Do they have their last name?
If the surname is Xu, how should you choose a name?
......
A lot of miscellaneous questions were scurrying around in Xu Yi's mind.
It's been more than six years since he came to this world, and this is probably the first day that Xu Yi didn't think about any issues related to survival and mechanical knowledge.
However, the moment the bedroom door was opened, all the mess turned into a problem in an instant.
"How's Steele? she's okay, right?" Xu Yi stared at the female nurse who came out of the bedroom and was in charge of delivering Steele. asked nervously.
Since last night Steele suddenly felt a stomachache. Xu Yi had invited his personal doctor home early to judge that he was about to give birth. Nearly ten hours have passed now, but Steele has never had any intention of being born, and Xu Yi can't help but be very worried.
The female nurse didn't look nervous at all, and in turn smiled and comforted Xu Yi: "Don't worry, President Xu, Mrs. Steele is in good health, and her body is not bad, so there will be no problem." ”
"Then why hasn't I been born for so long?" Xu Yi asked again.
The female nurse pursed her lips and smiled: "President Xu." Is it easy for you to have a baby? How can it be so fast? After all, this is Mrs. Steele's first child, and it can't be so smooth. But don't worry, her physical condition is normal, and she will definitely be fine. ”
Hearing the female nurse's tone of affirmation, Xu Yi was a little relieved.
"Okay, don't bother them, let them focus on helping Steele deliver the baby. The Grand Magician Camilla beside him patted Xu Yi's shoulder and motioned him to calm down.
"Hmm. Xu Yi nodded, let go of the female nurse, and let her pass.
Just retreated. The bedroom door suddenly opened again.
Xu Yi hurriedly looked, but saw Yanis walking out of it.
"Hey. Annis, what do you think of Steele?" Xu Yi hurriedly asked her.
The expression on Yanise's face was a little strange: "It's good, I don't think there should be any problem...... But President, it turns out that you humans have children almost the same as our elves, and I thought that if the races were different, there would be differences. ”
Xu Yi couldn't laugh or cry: "What's the matter? Have you ever seen your clan give birth to a child?"
"Well, in our clan, having children is a big deal, and the elders attach great importance to it. However, there are very few cases in our elven race, and I have only seen less than ten births in the clan when I have grown so old. Annis replied.
Thinking that although Yanis looked like a girl who was less than twenty years old, she was actually in her eighties, Xu couldn't help but feel more deeply the questions that Elder Elucia had lamented to him many times before.
The fertility rate of the elves is so low that in the few decades that Yanis knew, there have only been ten newborns, which is really pitiful.
It's no wonder that Elder Elucia used to worry that even if there were no external factors, the elves would naturally become extinct due to the low fertility rate.
After glancing at Yanis, Xu Yi suddenly remembered a question.
"By the way, Yanis, I think you've long reached the age where you can marry and have children, have you ever had a crush on a handsome male elf and thought about marrying him and having a baby? ”
Annis didn't look shy on this question like a human girl at all, but thought about it very seriously for a moment, and then shook her head: "No, I don't have any idea of marrying with any clansmen. If I really want to say it, sir, I like you more. ”
Xu Yi was stunned, and then waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no, I am a human being, you are an elf, how can you combine with me, this is obviously impossible." ”
"Really?" Janis looked confused. "It turns out that humans and elves can't be combined?"
Xu Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes: "This is common sense, right? Didn't Elder Elucia teach you this?"
"Nope. Janis shook her head, looking a little frustrated. "It turns out that the elves and humans can't be combined, that's a pity. I thought I would love being with you, and I'd try to get you to agree to be my partner in the future. ”
Xu Yi looked defeated by Yanis, thought about it, patted Yanis on the shoulder and said, "Don't be too disappointed." In fact, you are so beautiful, and I like your personality very much, and you must be very popular among the elves. Alright, don't think about the impossible now. I've given you a task to go in and accompany Steele for me, and if anything is wrong, come out and report it immediately. ”
"Good. Janis nodded vigorously. He turned around and went into the bedroom.
Wait for the bedroom door to close again. Xu Yi frowned. Turning to Grand Magician Camilla, he complained, "What the hell is this rule, why can't I, as Steele's husband, go in and stay with her at such a critical moment?
Grand Magician Camilla patted Xu Yi on the shoulder and comforted softly: "Giving birth to a child is the most important but also the most secret thing in a woman's life, of course she doesn't want to be seen by men. And it is said that when giving birth, women become very ugly. Of course, Steele wouldn't want you to see her ugly appearance, so you should take it for Steele's sake. ”
Xu Yi was still a little indignant, and cursed in a low voice. But he was helpless, and continued to pace back and forth outside the bedroom, waiting anxiously.
But fortunately, after about half an hour, the good news kept coming.
"President, the child's head has come out!" The first one to rush out to report the information was Yanis, who had just been sent in by Xu Yi.
"Master, the child's arm is out!" it was Vivien.
"Master, the child is half out!"
"Master, the children are all coming out!"
"The hosts. The child's feet are coming out too!"
......
Listening to these news, the expression on Xu Yi's face became more and more excited.
After waiting for a moment. The door of the bedroom was suddenly opened again, and the female nurse who came out to report just now said to Xu Yi with a smile on her face: "President Xu, congratulations, the child has been born!"
Xu Yi was immediately overjoyed, laughing and rushing over.
"How's Steele doing now? Where's the kid? Can I go in now?Is it a boy or a girl? How's it looking?"
The female nurse pulled the bedrooms apart, making way for a gap, and motioned for Xu Yi to go in with her.
Unexpectedly, the female nurse would have to sell a pass, so Xu Yi immediately unceremoniously pushed open the door and walked in.
Notda's bedroom was crowded with people at this time, and Yanis, Vivien, Lis, and Linda gathered around the large bed in the middle, hugging Steele who was lying on the bed.
Xu Yi took a few steps to the side of the bed, looked at Steele's slightly pale face, and suddenly his heart tightened, and he hurriedly grabbed her hand and asked softly, "How is Steele?"
Steele was a little weak, slowly opened his eyes, and saw that it was Xu Yi, and squeezed out a smile.
"I'm fine. But...... Xu Yi, I'm sorry......"
Xu Yi was stunned: "I'm sorry, why do you say I'm sorry?"
A complicated look crossed Steele's face: "Because I gave birth to a girl." ”
Xu Yi was even more puzzled: "What's wrong with the girl, why do you say you're sorry?"
Steele shook his head slightly, closed his eyes, and didn't seem to have much strength to speak again.
Xu Yi was stunned and turned his gaze to the few people next to the bed, and found that only Yanis looked normal, and the other people, including Vivian, had a somewhat reluctant expression on their faces.
Xu Yi frowned, his heart moved, and he suddenly understood.
After thinking about it, Xu Yi leaned down and kissed Steele on the cheek, looked at Steele's eyes that had reopened, and said softly with a firm gaze: "Steele, I told you a long time ago, don't worry about these meaningless questions, I will put you at ease." ”
After saying this, Xu Yi straightened up and opened his hands to the female nurse on the side: "What about my daughter? ”
The female nurse also seemed to sense that the atmosphere in the room was a little strange, glanced at Xu Yi, and hesitated for a moment before giving Xu Yi the baby in a cradle next to the bed.
Xu Yi took the tightly wrapped baby, lifted the cloth covering her head, and looked at her little face wrinkled because she had just been born, and even her facial features had not yet opened, and she was definitely not a beautiful little face, and an extremely complicated and inexplicable feeling surged in her heart.
Is this your own child?
staring at his daughter's face for a long time, Xu Yi took a deep breath, raised his head and glanced at Steele on the bed first, nodded to her, and then looked at the great magician Camilla who had followed in and was also standing by the bed, and finally swept his gaze over the faces of everyone in the room, and then raised the daughter in his hand with both hands.
"Now, I declare ......" (to be continued......
