Chapter 1571 The Birth Of The Dragon King's Third Child!
It was a very long process. And we required some help from both the Venerables and our Spirit Magicians and Healers. Pekora, Yuki, and Amehia were of great help thanks to their Spirit Magic. Although Yuki had just awakened such spiritual magic, Amehia was quite good at the simplest of spells, which became really strong after she Ranked Up to Rank 7 as a Druid Goddess.
Benladra and Kate combined their magic to conjure "Attribute-less Healing Magic" of high potency, which helped at lessening pain, healing Miranda's internal injuries as the baby clawed their way down her uterus, and lastly, to make her feel even less pain.
This was much more different than with Benladra because back then both Benladra and Benladann were still mortals! It was within the realm of what I could handle myself. However, things became much harder now that it was a Goddess giving birth to a Divine Dragon.
I used my powerful magic to help her as well, wielding many elements at the same time to make the entire surroundings comfortable for her childbirth. Miranda was still the one that had to struggle and fight the most. She was a real champ, pushing for hours after hours, gritting her teeth and not giving up.
She held my hands so tightly she broke the bones a few times. Good thing I can easily regenerate them back, so I let them break my arms as much she wanted…
Benladann was there as well, helping us with cleaning Miranda down there and helping us push the child out of her uterus. Her mother was with us too, helping however she could alongside other old ladies that knew about childbirth.
Honestly, even when this was my second child conceived like this, I was still an amateur, and panicked a few times when Miranda was struggling to breathe too much. Since her evolution that if she doesn't want to, her body can remain just like any of us.
Yes, she could have turned herself into a mass of Mold instead, but we had no idea what could have done to the child if she did. And we were not going to take the risk to find out. We let her give birth the normal way.
And after five arduous hours of birthing, the child finally popped out of her, and Miranda gave a loud, very loud sigh of relief, almost like a moan of pleasure because of how hard it ended being.
"Haahhh… Haaahhh… H-Holy shit… It's finally… out… Guh…"
She almost passed out on the spot before we all conjured healing magic on her, restoring her vitality and stamina to an extent. Just so she wouldn't pass out before seeing her child.
"Buaaaah! Buaaaah!"
The sound of a baby crying reverberated across the room. Everyone quickly fell silent as Benladann held the child in her arms, looking at it. I stood there, paralyzed as I saw my third child. They were so beautiful.
Short black hair covered their tiny head, they had three sharp crimson eyes, the third was vertical, sitting on top of their forehead. And at the left and right side of that eye, two tiny black horns sprouted out.
They had a long, black-scaled tail resembling that of a snake, ending on a pointy tip that seemed quite deadly. I was relieved the child didn't hurt their mother with it, or things would have ended even worse.
The beautiful little baby had a tiny pair of black wings behind their backs, and their skin was of a pale dark blue color, covered on red-colored tattoos resembling eyes across their arms and legs, and a big one in their chest.
And well, what was between their legs was…
"It's a boy!" Benladann celebrated.
"A boy… My boy!" I laughed, tears flowing from my eyes.
"Buuaaah! Buuaaaah!"
The boy kept weeping as I held him, his tiny claws gnashing at my chest, I only laughed as I bleed from his attacks. It was a boy! My first male child, after two girls! I thought it was just going to be another girl, but a boy is such a welcome surprise!
"Give me… Give me my boy… my baby… Where is it?" Miranda asked while looking dizzy.
"Here." I gently gave her the boy.
He immediately stopped crying too loud, only weeping softly as he was held by his mother. His three cute little eyes glanced at his mother, shining brightly.
"Baaahh…"
"Oh my gosh, you're so cute… Did you really come from me?!"
"Bubaaahh… Buaaah!"
The baby started crying again, feeling hungry, perhaps. Miranda's breasts, which were rather small, had grown thrice as big since she got pregnant. It was quite evident what was next. Despite being reptiles, dragons born from mammals can indeed drink milk from their mothers.
Miranda was a combination of many things, but her main form since she got pregnant was a Demonic Spirit with Ice Giant Traits inherited from Benladann. Therefore, she naturally produced milk.
"Here baby, drink mama's milk."
Our little boy immediately started drinking from her breasts once she offered them to him, calming down, he soothingly closed his eyes.
"There, there… You're so calm now, hahah…"
Miranda continued caressing our child, giving him kisses on his forehead and cheeks. I quickly brought over some clothes for the baby, dressing him so he would stay warm.
We moved Miranda and the child to another bed because the previous one was too nasty with blood and other things. Cutting the umbilical cord was a rather hard thing to do, mostly because of how tough it was, coming from a divine dragon.
"It's so beautiful…" The System smiled.
"Woah… our little brother was born, Kate!" Benladra was really happy.
"Little brother…" Kate smiled gently. "I'm happy."
"He's so tiny!" Yuki giggled. "Oh my gosh, congrats Drake, Miranda!"
"Yeah, it's really beautiful to see." Tisha nodded.
"Phew… It sure was a nasty rascal, took a while to get out." Pekora sighed in relief.
"Hahhh. I'm so hungry, honey can you bring me some food?" Asked Miranda, looking more beautiful than ever before.
"Of course, my queen. Right away." I acted obediently to spoil her, swiftly going to cook for her.
On the way to the kitchen, I was greeted by Surtr and Emerald, who congratulated me as well.
While they accompanied me on my cooking, we thought about a name for the baby.
