175 – Exposed Under The Sun #4
Kalira confirmed Elga Von Lioness' pregnancy.
It was only then that everything began to feel real, and the flood of emotions that I'd been holding back burst through like a ruptured dam.
"Should I say congratulations? Once some time passes, you'll be able to know whether you'll be having a son or a daughter. It's advisable to come for regular check-ups."
Kalira congratulated Elga on her pregnancy and prescribed a glass bottle filled with round beads the size of a small fingernail.
"Take one of these anytime during the day. And, of course, you shouldn't move your body recklessly for a while."
The visit with Kalira ended at that.
Although it wouldn't have been strange for her to ask various questions or express her curiosity, the fact that she didn't showed her professionalism while working as a back alley doctor.
Elga and I closed the door of the clinic and walked through the sprawling corridor of the main building, strolling along the promenade. The sunset was glaring, casting a warm glow.
"……."
"……."
Neither I nor Elga spoke to each other. We simply moved our steps without knowing where we were heading. Then, Elga suddenly crouched down as if her strength had given way.
I asked in surprise.
"Are you okay, Elga-nim? What's wrong?"
"… Nothing, it just hit me. Everything came so suddenly."
It seemed that Elga was also only now realizing that she was having a child, after undergoing the examination and hearing the results.
Elga, like me, was probably skeptical of it. But now that it was confirmed, she started to feel all the pent up emotions.
"Ah, ff-. What am I going to say to Dad?"
A lot of concerns seemed to be swirling in Elga's mind about how she would explain this situation to those around her.
I felt the same way. Elga's belly would gradually become more noticeable. By then, it would be impossible to hide it from everyone. Which meant, I didn't have much time left….
Along with impatience, an indescribable, strange emotion that I had never felt before settled in my heart.
Should I say that it felt as if someone finally connected me in this lonely and desolate world.
Literally, my family had grown by one. Now, I was no longer the only Angmar in the world. This also meant that there'd be a Quarter-Nymph.
"Elga-nim, what do we do now?"
"… Why are you asking me? You're the one who made this, you bastard! Didn't you have a plan!?"
That was right. I had a plan, and now the result of the first step was apparent. Compared to my grand plan, this was just a small stride.
However, it felt like a significant leap so my mind briefly went blank.
"Hu."
I took a short breath to regulate my stress levels. Soon, Calm Thinking kicked in, bringing serenity to my inner self.
And what came to my mind was the need to reassure Elga first.
Elga was probably more confused than me right now. In times like these, as a man, I needed to show my determination and support.
"Everything will be fine. Now, we're on track with my plan."
"What's your plan?"
"Create a large family where everyone lives happily."
"……."
Stare-.
For some reason, Elga looked at me like I was an idiot…
* * *
I escorted Elga to her room for the time being. Of course, I didn't forget to give some reminders.
"In the future, try to avoid physically strenuous activities."
I also asked her to not reveal the news yet and continue like normal. Elga nodded in agreement with that.
"Father would have your head cut off if he knew."
If it was Reinhardt, that would be true…
"But we can't keep it a secret forever. The child will be born in due time. So, do you have confidence?"
I briefly paused at Elga's question, locked in thought. Faced with the question of whether I had the gut to handle the upcoming trials, I had only one answer. 𝙍𝔞₦ǒＢÈs̈
"If I didn't have confidence, I wouldn't have come this far. Believe me, Elga-nim. I'll take responsibility like a man!"
"… Heh, like a man, huh? Ah, I don't know. I'm going to rest. I need a break today…"
Elga closed the door and went inside. Perhaps the sudden mental fatigue from today's examination results had finally hit her. Anyway, I left her be for now.
Given the relationship we had, it was only a matter of time before Elga would get pregnant. Still, my feelings were strangely complex.
Suddenly, I became curious whether my mother and father had experienced similar emotions.
That I had a real family.
"……."
I gazed at the crimson skies as the sun went into slumber.
