The World Is Mine For The Taking

We told Leon about it.

The words slipped from our lips in unison, almost rehearsed, though we hadn't planned it that way.

"We are pregnant."

For a moment, the room felt heavy, like the air itself was holding its breath. Normally, this should've been a celebration, a joyous announcement, the kind of thing that would make anyone's heart soar with happiness. But strangely, it didn't feel that way for us right then. There was hesitation, a meekness behind our voices that neither of us could quite shake off. Even Rose, who usually carried herself with confidence, looked slightly dazed, like her thoughts were drifting somewhere else entirely.

It wasn't calmness we carried, I guess, but it was nerves and it was tangled up in anticipation. And honestly, thinking back, this was a bombshell of an announcement to just toss out all of a sudden without buildup. But then again, it was only natural to tell him. After all, we were carrying his children inside of us. It was something that couldn't be hidden forever.

Still, that didn't stop the unease bubbling inside.

What if he didn't like it? What if Leon had been content with just one child and wasn't ready for more? Would that mean he'd push us away, discard us now that the bond had been made? That thought alone made my stomach twist. But deep down, I knew Leon wasn't that kind of man. He wasn't someone who would so easily cast us aside—not after everything he'd done, not after going so far as to convince me, personally, to accept my place in his harem.

Leon looked at us, and instead of shock or anger, his lips curved into a smile.

"I see…" he murmured, his tone steady. "Well, I can't say I'm surprised. I've actually been expecting this. I could feel the two of you starting to act a little different. And Rose—" his eyes flicked toward her—"you've become quite an eater, you know. But I didn't say anything. Honestly, I was waiting for you both to come out with it yourselves. It would've made it more… you know, surprising."

I blinked at him, speechless for a beat before finally speaking. "Well, you definitely ruined the surprise element since you already knew."

Rose's cheeks puffed out as she glared at him. "You ruined the mood, Leon. And wait—how did you even notice I was eating a lot? I-I didn't get fat, did I?"

Leon chuckled softly, almost carelessly, but Gabrielle cut in before he could answer. "Master doesn't always have tact, so sometimes he ends up ruining the mood… but that's exactly one of the reasons why I love him."

Leon's gaze shifted between the three of us then, his smile lingering, softer this time. "To think… the three of you, like this. It really is something. I feel truly blessed—to have the bombshell instructors of the academy as my women."

Heat rushed to my cheeks instantly. "You really are stupid, Leon," I muttered, but there was no bite behind it. His words wrapped around me, overwhelming, and I hated how easily they made me feel weak, and how they made me feel so much like a woman hopelessly in love.

"Still," Leon continued, his voice firm now, "the two of you—congratulations." For the first time since this exchange began, his expression shifted into something pure and something genuine, a smile that radiated pride and warmth. "I'm truly happy. Thank you… for carrying my child."

And just like that, something bloomed inside me. It was warm, bright, and so overwhelming it almost stole my breath. The sensation spread through my chest, down into my stomach, into the very core of me. It was pure joy, unlike anything I'd felt before. It was so strong that I almost cried right then and there. For the first time, I felt something that truly, undeniably mattered.

Gabrielle's POV

I watched as Irene and Rose smiled at us, still holding that soft glow from Leon's words, before heading back together to their house.

A small smile tugged at my lips. I honestly felt happy for them. The two of them had been my friends since our academy days, though things between us hadn't always been simple. For years, our relationship was strained and was weighed down by misunderstandings and childish grudges. We ignored the real issues, acted like it was easier to stay distant. But over time and mutual understanding of each other's feelings, we'd managed to find closure. And now… now we stood here as something more than friends. We stood as women bound by the same man, and strangely, that realization no longer hurt.

"Fufufufu…" I let out a light laugh, unable to stop myself. "Seeing the two of them so happy… it really drives the point home, doesn't it? They love you, Master. They love you so much they're overjoyed to carry your child inside them."

Leon's eyes softened. "Well, I love them. And I'll love their children equally. If they weren't happy about it, honestly… I don't know what I'd do."

I studied him for a moment, remembering his words from before. Lately, Master had confessed to me that he felt too busy and too distracted, like he wasn't giving enough time to Kana. He worried he'd end up being a bad father. But to me, those fears meant the opposite. The fact that he thought so deeply about it only proved he would be a good father—because he cared enough to question himself.

Yes, he was still young, younger than me even, so of course parenting wasn't something that came naturally yet. But that was why I was here. I was Kana's mother, and I loved her with everything I had. I would always support him in the little and big things, especially in raising our daughter.

Still, a tiny pang of envy welled inside me.

"I'm kinda jealous of them now," I admitted with a smile.

"Jealous?" he asked, tilting his head.

"Well, they're going to have all your attention for the rest of their pregnancies. You know how delicate women's feelings get when they're carrying a child. You were like that with me, right? You treated me with so much care back then. So yes, I'm jealous… that they'll be the ones soaking up that attention now. But at the same time, I know it can't be helped." I paused then, my lips curving into a different kind of smile, one heavier with meaning. I leaned in closer, my voice dropping to a sultry tone. "But I did think of a way to balance it out. Why don't we make a sibling for Kana, Master? And I don't mean from another woman—I mean one from me."

Leon blinked, slightly stunned. "You want to get pregnant immediately?"

"Why not?" I whispered. "It's not like I have any other dreams besides serving you. My life belongs to you. So if I can make you happy, if I can give you another small us inside my body… then that's all I want." I smiled, softer now, but with conviction.

Leon's eyes darkened slightly, the corner of his mouth twitching upward. "You really know how to make me feel horny, Gabrielle. Or…" he leaned in closer, his voice lower, "are you suggesting this because you're horny yourself?"

I winked playfully. "Well… that too."

I knew I'd struck the right chord, because his eyes sharpened with hunger. In one swift motion, he grabbed me, pulling me close, and without hesitation dragged me into the nearest inn.

And there, without mercy, he fucked me senseless.
