After Sofie visited the Frost family estate, Annaliese spent the whole day at home, thinking about what her friend had told her.
Everything indicated that she was pregnant. All left was for Doctor Snee to analyze her blood to confirm her situation.
Because of this, she spent the whole day without seeing Lothur, trying to prepare herself to give him the shocking news that he would soon become a father!
The pregnancy cultivators depended on the cultivation level of the mother, mainly. But even so, it was nothing absurd to the point that a cultivator would pass through ten years of gestation.
That would vary from weeks to months compared to the pregnancy of mortals.
So in less than 20 months, Lothur could meet his first offspring!
But Annaliese wouldn't tell him anything until Doctor Snee confirmed her situation to Sofie. Hence, she stayed home, making excuses to all her family so she wouldn't have to go out.
...
The other day in the morning...
"Sofie, I have finished analyzing that blood sample you handed me earlier." Doctor Snee said this as he left his lab, curious as to why his student had asked him to examine the blood sample of someone without identification.
"That sample isn't yours, is it?" He seriously asked.
Noticing the look on her master's face, Sofie made a serious expression and denied it. "Of course not, master. That was a sample from a friend.
She thinks she is pregnant, and I collected it for you to analyze..."
"Is that so?" Doctor Snee smiled as he looked at his student's belly. "Well, your friend is pregnant. So you should advise her to tell her parents and the future daddy, haha."
"I'm not the one who is pregnant!" She spoke aloud before thanking her master and leaving to talk to Annaliese.
...
After dealing with the Academy business, having finished moving on to Sector 3, Lothur dealt with his factory business in the afternoon, beginning to assemble his first vehicles.
The first parts were getting ready, so he had already been starting the assembly process to test whether his theories regarding the larger versions of his cars were correct.
As such, his job had been mainly to assemble cars alongside his employees and to inscribe the proper formations on each part of the vehicles.
He was not yet teaching his employees how to do this job, as he preferred to first come up with the correct 'equation' and then pass this knowledge on to these people.
They would obviously sign Blood Contracts with Lothur since he would not hand over vital information to people who were not deeply committed to him.
In any case, his work had been going smoothly, with no more local problems for him or his friends.
With that, besides attending to the needs of his wives in the morning, Lothur 'visited' Rebecca after finishing his daily business at the factory.
Following this, he left with Ice to do a new mission at the academy, something he had been doing daily in the evenings.
He and ice were swift. Even when they had missions dozens of kilometers away from Peters City, these two could get there and back before dawn.
Lothur didn't need as much sleep at his current level, so he had been doing this without much trouble lately.
Because of these missions, he had not been training so much, as these 'small' exercises were enough to strengthen him.
And so he went about his busy day in Linn Province.
...
The day was slowly dawning in Peters City when Lothur passed the first entrance to this city on Ice's back.
He went straight to his residence to take care of his wife's morning needs, not a bit tired for it...
However, when he arrived at his property, Lothur found Annaliese sitting on the curb waiting for him.
He found this strange, and his eyes narrowed, not understanding why Annaliese was there at that time of day.
It was not dangerous for her to be there at this time since she was quite strong for the level of the local experts. But still, this situation had never happened before, and added to what had been happening to her recently, he was worried.
"Anna, what's wrong? Why are you here so early? Did something happen?" He asked after jumping off Ice's back and stopping in front of his sister-in-law.
He saw Annaliese's little face contorting as if she was going to cry and was silent, watching her jump to hug him.
"Loth... Lothur..." She stammered as her saliva got in the way of her speech.
"Calm, you can speak calmly, Anna." He massaged her back, trying to calm her down. "Whatever it is, we can work it out. You just need to talk to me."
Gulp!
"I... I'm pregnant." She said, causing the young Ritter to go silent as his movements stopped and his eyes opened significantly.
"What?" He asked after a few moments when Annaliese was already anxiously watching him.
"I just found this out yesterday afternoon. I'm pregnant, Lothur! I'm already over seven weeks!" Tears dripped from her eyes as she felt lost. "What are we going to do now? My sister will want to kill me!
My mother too!"
Lothur was still shocked by the information, but he gathered strength and said. "Don't think about it. We'll resolve the situation, and nothing will happen."
"How can it not? I betrayed her! I gave away my purity out of wedlock!"
"That doesn't matter. We will get married one day, and you just gave yourself up to your man. What's wrong with that?" He said, massaging her face.
"But Viktoria won't accept it!"
"We don't know that, Anna. She'll probably be upset, but I don't think she'd hate us."
"But what about my family? My father and mother will think I'm a slut!" She said, seeing how devastated her family would be by this news.
"No matter. I won't allow anyone to mistreat you.
Plus, when we tell them, I will ask for your hand in marriage, and everything will be settled!" He said.
"But... But... Do you really want to have that?" She looked into his eyes.
Annaliese had given everything a lot of thought, and after the initial panic and her fears still in her heart, she was only sure of one thing.
She wanted to be the mother of Lothur's children!
So even though she was there questioning him, she was already sure of what she wanted and just wanted to know if he would support her and form a family with her.
She could never willingly prevent the generation of this child, her and Lothur's innocent child, who deserved a chance.
Not only that, this child would fulfill her love for Lothur!
"Yes, I do." He smiled at her before squeezing her tighter and kissing her.
Amid this touching moment, Ice didn't understand what had been said. Still, it smelled the scent of Annaliese, which made it understand everything.
'A child? So Lothur is going to be a father?' Ice smiled in its own way.
