Chapter 179 Two Of The Brightest Stars
- POV Freya -
"Wait !!! This...this isn't over ! There...it seems there's another one !"
I held my child in my arms and as my heart beat like it had never beaten before, Lia uttered a sentence that made me tremble. A second baby ? How had I not noticed this before ? I was in a second state, I felt exhausted by our race, so happy and lost. I didn't even notice the little heartbeat that remained in Gaya's belly.
At that moment I felt as if my mind and heart were going to explode at this news. I was already holding one of my children and as I turned my head towards my wife, I could see her smiling very faintly as her grimaces started again. Without wasting a moment, I rushed to her with one of our treasures on my chest, who was gradually calming down.
"Is it...is it a girl...uuurg...or a boy ?"
"Focus my love, we're right here next to you and we'll have plenty of time to figure it out together once our second unexpected little star is born.."
My wife seemed eager to discover the gender of our child, but she still needed to keep her focus for the next part. I stood beside her, clasping her hand with my right hand and holding our baby with my left arm. Kira and Shiro were standing at the back of the room and while my little sister was smiling, my little moon's eyes were glowing. It wasn't hard to see that they wanted only on thing : join us.
"A little more courage Queen Gaya ! You are almost there ! Your second child is about to be born, you are doing a great job !"
I could hear the doctor's voice encouraging my wife as she courageously continued to give life for the second time. At that moment, I admired her, I was proud of her and I only wanted to support her as best I could. It seemed so hard and exhausting and while my happiness had reached a point I had never known, I was worried about my exhausted wife.
The room was a mess, the few doctors were running around, sponging on the forehead of my dragoness or taking turns to help her. There were only three of them and although they had been there all along I hadn't really paid attention to them. I was still very grateful that they were taking such good care of her because to be honest, I was overwhelmed by it all.
Gaya was almost pale, her eyes reflected the feelings she shared with me but still seemed elsewhere. She had been pushing now for several minutes without stopping and her hand kept squeezing mine with incredible power. My wife was strong, strong and incredible and even though she was scrambling my hand, I couldn't help but smile at such courage.
"Perfect !!! You did it my Queen !!! Your second child is born !"
PING -
[Congratulations ! The individual Gaya gave birth to twins ! Your status has been updated !]
Suddenly the voice of the same doctor brought me out of my thoughts, preceded by an absolutely adorable cry, coming from our second baby. A notification also appeared at the same time but I didnt care. Just like the first time, the doctor was wrapping this little being in a black sheet before heading towards us. Trembling, she then handed me my child before bowing and backing away.
*I...*
That was it, I was finally holding my two children who had just arrived even faster than I had ever hoped. Without further ado, carrying the two new stars of the Empire, I rushed to my wife. Nodding to the doctors and Lia so they could rest, as they exited, I placed the two babies on Gaya's chest.
My wife was completely exhausted, shaking, still sweating and breathing heavily but as her hands touched our two babies, the tears were there. Kira and Shiro, who had stayed on the side, rushed too towards us while I created a wall of ice for our intimacy. Our family was finally reunited around these two little treasures and while everyone watched them, no one spoke.
Even I didn't have the words as I began to realize that this was all real. Everything had gone so fast, my mind was also exhausted and now that everything was calmer...I was finally realizing how much this really meant. My wife, my little sister, my daughter and I were all around these two little wonders and suddenly the silence was broken by the sound of sobs....my own.
"They...I...you did it my love...we...I..."
For the first time I broke down in tears on my own in the history of all my lives. I was happy, so happy, and at that moment I felt like I had been forgiven for everything I had done in my previous life. I, Freya, the ruthless Empress of Ice, the one who didn't deserve happiness before...had found it. This moment was magical and a new, unknown side of my personality manifested itself.
In this little ice space I had just created for our family, I felt good, I felt loved and surrounded by so much love and happiness. I had never felt like this before and my heart felt like it could explode at any moment. At that moment, I didn't want to be cold, I wanted to be honest with my feelings and give myself to those I loved with all my being.
My heart was overflowing with love, my feelings were powerful, so powerful that I could not control anything for once. I didn't want to...I wanted to show myself as I was with those who brightened my days. I was crying, my tears kept coloring my face and my eyes were blurring my vision but I didn't care. I felt free, grateful and filled with love like never before.
"I...I never thought I would ever live through this. As far back as I can remember, I grew up with nothing but hate, violence and tears. I cried so much, so much hoping that one day someone would come and save me and it never happened. I had to fight, to do unimaginable things without knowing that little by little I was losing the part of humanity that I had. Each blow, each action I had was always plunging me a little more into a world of darkness devoid of feelings and empathy...
"..."
...I...I finally landed here without knowing what to expect. My frozen heart began to beat again, my soul in eternal night was reborn and I learned what it was to love and to be loved, thanks to you. I...I still don't think I deserve any of this but...but I am so grateful for all that you have done for me and for being present by my side. I...I promise to protect you at the cost of my life as I would protect these two children with all my heart."
"Freya..."
"Mommy..."
"Onee-san..."
As I finished what I had said, looking up, Gaya, Kira and Shiro's faces were just as wet as mine. My little sister had a hand over her mouth trying to hold back in vain, my wife had a radiant smile bathed in tears and my little moon was sniffling loudly as she hid her face against Kira. Everyone was crying and yet everyone felt so happy and shared my overwhelming feelings.
"We...are a family...we'll stay together until the end and no matter what happens in the future, we'll look out for each other, right ? I...I keep saying that I'm watching on all of you, my family, the members of the Empire, but...in reality...it's you who carry me through each day. You who give me the strength to go on, who make my heart beat...you are the ones who protect me and my reason to live. I...I love you so much. I love you so much that you can't realize how much..."
Suddenly, as I was finishing my sentence, I didn't have time to do anything as Kira threw herself on me, followed by Shiro. Gaya, still weak, was standing up slightly and grabbing my hand with love. Once again, we were all in a group hug, above those two little babies, like a protective and loving dome. None of us could stop crying but none of us really wanted to.
"Honey...Freya...I love you so much too...and I will never stop saying it. Shiro...you are my daughter, our daughter and we will all look after you forever, no matter what. Kira...you're so pretty...so sweet, so funny and I'm glad I can finally hug you. You are my family and...I love you all."
"Me...*sniff*...Me too...I love you so much ! Mommy, Mom Gaya, Auntie Kira and now I...I'm also big sister...*sniff* I...I'm so happy !"
The more I heard my daughter and my wife talk, the more my tears flowed like they had never flowed before. So much love, so much sincerity, so much happiness...I didn't even know what to think, what to do or what to say. Kira was the only one who didn't speak, but we all knew that she didn't think less. My little sister was far too overwhelmed by her feelings and just nodded.
Then, as our foreheads were glued together once again, as our closed eyes cried tears of joy, I suddenly felt something soft against my face. Opening my eyes gently, I could see a tiny hand resting on my cheek. One of my children had a little baby right hand on my right cheek and a left hand on Gaya's cheek.
The most incredible thing was that the second baby did the same thing on the cheek of Kira and Shiro as if to say "we love you too". We were all there and although the moment was very emotional, no one had forgotten these two little beings who had brought us together and who had allowed me to give myself up. Gradually recovering our spirits, we straightened up to finally take the time to discover the gender of each of them.
"Go ahead my love.."
As the two babies looked at us curiously, I let my wife have the honor of discovering the gender of our children. No matter what they were, my love for them...our love remained and would remain unfathomable. Everyone was impatient and held their breath as Gaya, gently removed the black sheet that had wrapped them since birth.
"..."
"We...we have a girl and a boy honey...it's...it's wonderful..."
The voice of my dragoness was trembling and had finally announced what we had all been waiting for since the beginning. At her words, a bright smile broke out on my face making my cheeks ache, warming them with an incomparable warmth. We had a girl and a boy... unexpected twins but already so perfect. My heart was beating faster and faster and despite myself...I was unable to speak.
"They...they are beautiful..."
Kira was the first to do so this time as her purple eyes shone with tears and happiness. She was right, because these two babies were beautiful, unique and the more I looked at them, the more my heart was racing. Both of them had very specific hair colors as they had not one but many. Although they were just born, it was also easy to see the hues and the uniqueness of their hair.
My son's right side was a deep blood red with crimson highlights and his left side was pure white. My daughter was the opposite. The right side of her hair was white like Shiro's and her left side was crimson red. They both had a small black horn identical to mine and Kira's on the side of their foreheads and like a mirror reflecting a reflection, my daughter had it on the right and my son on the left.
As we continued to watch them, they looked at us in silence with their equally special eyes. My daughter and son, were the first in the family to also have eyes of a different color when I expected to see plain eyes. One purple eye and one amber eye...it was proof of the love I shared with my wife and that translated into a little bit of both of us in them.
"L-Look !! They have little wings !!"
This time it was Shiro's turn to exclaim, as she gently and lovingly stroked the head of her little sister and brother. Indeed, behind their little backs, were two little dragon wings of the same color this time as their mother. It was now obvious that our two little stars were hybrids and contrary to what I thought, neither had inherited my wolf side.
In front of us were two hybrids, twins, both demon and dragon. Son and daughter of the ancient Goddess of Primordial Blood, Death and the mother of Dragons. These two children were born of an unconditional and unique love, shared by Lucifer and Gaya, Empress and Queen of Elysium. Everything was perfect, they were beautiful and I could say without blushing that they were without a doubt, the two most beautiful babies I had ever seen.
"So...what are you going to call these two loves ?"
"..."
"..."
As Kira asked with a big smile, Gaya and I looked at each other with big eyes. With all that had happened and the acceleration of the pregnancy, neither of us had really thought about a name. We didn't even know we were having twins and at that moment I couldn't help but laugh at this incredibly unique situation.
"Hahahaha~ I...pffff~ I guess we'll have to find them together !"
So, after this emotional evening, full of love and tenderness...the whole family was going to work together to find an appropriate name for our children. The night was going to be long, but Gaya, Kira, Shiro and I were in our bubble of love where nothing and nobody could ever hurt us. We were a family and this family had just welcomed two new stars...two of the brightest stars that we vowed to protect.
