Just a few days after the Christmas revelry passed, Lorze's house once again received good news. However, this time it was regarding newborn babies.
Calculating the time, a total of more than three months had passed since Meowstic got pregnant. The little cat girl happened to enter her due date a few days after Christmas ended. Moreover, Lorze had already taken her to the laboratory for a check-up before this; there were indeed two eggs in her belly without a doubt, meaning twins.
He just didn't know whether the twins Meowstic was carrying... were identical or fraternal? The difference merely lay in whether the babies born would look identical. Of course, no matter which kind, Lorze would properly dote on them after Meowstic gave birth. But speaking from a bit of selfishness, Lorze still hoped more for identical twins.
It was also because of the twins in her abdomen that the proportions of Meowstic's pregnant belly were simply frighteningly large compared to the other wives. The entire cat was a fat, plump little round ball, to the point where she couldn't even touch her feet with her cat paws. She had almost completely lost her originally sexy and cute figure.
In comparison, the issue of losing one's figure wasn't much of a problem for Deoxys. It seems that among wives... there are also disparities!
Compared to the other pregnant little cat girl, Mew, her belly wasn't as exaggerated as Meowstic's. This made Meowstic a bit dejected.
"Woo meow, is Meowstic not pretty at all anymore meow? Now I've become a fat little pig meow. Like this, no one will like Meowstic anymore meow..."
Meowstic seemed very concerned about her out-of-shape figure, feeling extremely depressed about it, and would occasionally say some very disheartening things.
This was also understandable. After all, the previous wives' figures hadn't gone out of shape as severely as hers when they were pregnant.
However, Lorze gave his delicate little wife held in his arms a flick on the forehead—a very, very light one, making Meowstic twitch her large cat ears.
"You silly little cat. If you say things like this again, I'll fuck you until you're obedient!"
Meowstic twitched her cat ears, instantly perking up, high-lights reappearing in her lecherous eyes.
"Meow? R-Really meow❤!?"
Seeing Meowstic not only not realizing her mistake but looking very expectant, Lorze also smiled, truly helpless against her: Even carrying a fat pregnant belly didn't hinder Meowstic from being a little pervert. Sigh, this damn Hakimi (slang for cute cat)... is hopeless!
Anyway, such a Meowstic naturally found moving around very inconvenient. In recent days, whether it was Lorze himself, Indeedee, or the other sisters, everyone took Meowstic's impending delivery very seriously and took meticulous care of her.
Especially Lorze, as her husband. He stayed continuously by Meowstic's side for several days in a row, purely so he could help immediately when she needed to do something, or carefully carry Meowstic to wherever she wanted to go.
Moreover, these past few days, Meowstic had always been accompanied to sleep by Lorze. Whether facing away from Lorze or facing him, the tall young man would always gather the fat little cat into his arms and hug her tightly, as if providing a warm harbor for the uneasy pregnant woman, allowing her to peacefully enter dreamland, and then spend the difficult night in sweet dreams woven by Cresselia.
Regardless, the sisterly bonds and her husband's love were felt increasingly deeply. These were perhaps days of both distress and happiness for the cat girl.
Fortunately, such days were finally coming to an end. It was better to give birth to the children in her belly early so she wouldn't have to suffer like this anymore!
On December 29th, Meowstic's belly began to emit regular labor pains, each wave stronger than the last. These were the signs of going into labor.
It's just that, her uterine contraction labor pains seemed to be even more intense than the several wives who had given birth before. The expression on her face was very pained and distorted, which inevitably made Lorze's heart ache.
Meowstic's breathing was very rough and heavy. Worry about her physical condition had leaped onto her face. Thus, she raised her head very apprehensively and asked Lorze: "Woo meow, is Meowstic about to give birth meow? Will something bad happen to Meowstic meow..."
"Yes, Meowstic is about to give birth. And you will definitely be fine. After all, everyone is here, aren't they? We will definitely ensure both Meowstic and the babies are safe and sound. So... is Meowstic ready?"
Having reached this step, even if she wasn't ready, the babies in her belly wouldn't wait any longer. She could only bite the bullet and go for it.
"Mhm meow..."
Thus, the heavily pregnant Meowstic was carried onto the operating bed laid with layers of cotton pads with some effort from everyone and pushed into the delivery room. After all preparations were ready, she also began to struggle to give birth.
"Ugh meow, ugh woo! Woo woo meow..."
Meowstic's head tossed about helplessly. Even her long, erect cat ears became somewhat bent due to the twisting and turning. Her cat paws gripped the bedsheets extremely forcefully, even extending her sharp claws to pierce and ruin the cotton bedsheets. Pained moans continuously spilled from her cat lips, making Lorze's heart ache listening to it.
The little cat girl had two eggs in her belly, yet the difficulty of delivery was more than double that of a single egg situation. The wives assisting the delivery and Lorze all treated it with high tension and high seriousness, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
Even though Thunder Wave was used to paralyze Meowstic's vulva, the severe pain of childbirth was still very intense. But the remaining part could only be left to the little cat girl to face herself; the wives' midwifery could only play an auxiliary role.
Meowstic's pained meows and moans continuously echoed in the delivery room, seemingly each louder and more heart-wrenching than the last. That was the little cat girl working hard to push the eggs from her uterus out through the birth canal.
As the first egg had already poked its pointed top out of the uterus, everyone's hearts were almost in their throats. They all sweated for Meowstic, silently cheering her on in their hearts.
"Woo woo——Meow woo!"
Meowstic almost used the strength of nine bulls and two tigers (tremendous effort), only then barely managing to push an egg out of her uterus—this egg was quite a bit smaller compared to the previous wives'. Perhaps it was due to both the twin factor and Meowstic's small body size factor. After all, not every girl's belly can accommodate an egg of the same size.
A massive amount of amniotic fluid was expelled from her body along with the egg. Meowstic suddenly felt the burden in her belly lessen significantly.
However, although the first egg had been smoothly pushed out of the birth canal, Meowstic's delivery was not yet over. Everyone still didn't dare to relax, and neither did she.
The panting little cat girl's chest was heaving violently. She needed to rest a bit before putting in more effort.
Lorze grasped Meowstic's cat paw, giving her the best comfort. Held by his large hand, Meowstic also felt much more reassured.
"You've already given birth to one, Meowstic did great, truly great. Next, push the other baby out in one go... and everything will be fine!"
"Woo meow, Meowstic is so hungry meow. After giving birth, I want to eat a lot of dried small fish meow..."
The little cat girl, her face haggard from the exertion of childbirth, pretended to be gluttonous and made a request. Actually, she also hoped Lorze wouldn't worry too much.
"Of course. I'll make however much Meowstic wants to eat. Whatever else you want to do is no problem either! For now, just focus wholeheartedly on giving birth to the baby."
After a burst of cheering and encouragement, Meowstic nodded with difficulty. She seemed to have finished resting and was going to continue giving birth.
"Woo——Meow!"
However, perhaps she exhausted all her strength when giving birth to the first egg. She just couldn't push the second egg out no matter what. It always seemed to be lacking just that final push. This made everyone watching very anxious, sweat densely beading on their foreheads.
While Indeedee and Gardevoir were assisting the delivery, Lorze was also discussing with Mewtwo what to do if Meowstic had dystocia (obstructed labor).
Very obviously, the longer the delivery time dragged on, the more dangerous it was. Pokémon mothers dying from childbirth in the wild were not completely nonexistent. After all, they would more or less encounter some unexpected situations, for example...
Twins like Meowstic's.
If it truly didn't work out, it seemed they could only perform a cesarean section. Mewtwo spread her hands.
But this was a human intervention after all, not comparable to a natural delivery. A C-section also had disadvantages for the recovery of Meowstic's own body. It would naturally be best if Meowstic could give birth to the baby independently. A C-section, at the end of the day, could only serve as a fallback strategy.
"Then... performing a C-section, does Big Sister have any problems with it?"
Mewtwo nodded with full confidence. She was still certain of this; at the very least, she could definitely save the birthing Meowstic. This reassured Lorze quite a bit: The most important thing, as expected, is still his beloved cat girl. As for sons and daughters... at least they can't replace the moms' position in his heart.
Fortunately, Meowstic finally pushed the remaining egg out in one vigorous effort. But she was also completely and utterly drained of all her strength. The entire process could be described as a false alarm without any real danger.
It was hard for Lorze to say whether Meowstic's delivery this time or Big Sister Mewtwo's delivery was more painful. But Meowstic's delivery time indeed set the longest record so far. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Meowstic, these are our babies❤~"
When Lorze held the two washed eggs in front of Meowstic, the extremely weak cat girl barely managed to extend her small cat paw to caress the eggshells. Meowstic also couldn't help but shed hot tears.
On one hand, it was the emotion of becoming a mother. On the other hand, the process of childbirth was truly too painful and agonizing. So right now, there was quite a joy of feeling a heavy burden lifted.
Fortunately, Lorze had been staying by her side without abandoning her. Without him, Meowstic might really not have been able to persevere.
Lorze also knew Meowstic was very weak right now and very much needed his companionship. After properly settling the two eggs, he wiped away the teardrops at the corners of Meowstic's eyes and passionately kissed her slightly pale cat lips.
In the end, Meowstic was a false alarm and didn't have any accidents. Instead, it was Deoxys who had an accident first.
Right on the heels of Meowstic finishing giving birth, Deoxys inexplicably felt a churning pain in her belly skin. Seeing this, everyone knew this was also a sign of going into labor. Before they had time to celebrate the cat girl, they rushed her into the delivery room non-stop as well.
Deoxys's labor was much earlier than her expected due date. It seems she went into premature labor? Moreover, she seemed to be the only one among the currently birthing wives to go into premature labor, all because she was bouncing around every day carrying a large belly.
Lorze secretly complained in his heart: Clearly carrying a pregnant belly, yet still engaging in all kinds of vigorous exercise every day. Even premature labor isn't surprising at all!
He originally thought the severe pain brought by premature labor would make her unable to be arrogant. But this guy once again overturned everyone's cognition with her alien physical fitness.
Deoxys not only requested no anesthesia, but throughout the entire delivery process, she wore a calm and unhurried appearance. She neither sweat much nor yelled. All by herself, she expelled the egg from her body, hardly needing the other wives to help. This left everyone dumbfounded.
666 (Awesome), this alien woman is truly something else!
Lorze thought about it carefully. It was probably because Deoxys could reorganize the cells of her body to change into different structures. Compared to the other wives who needed to work hard to open their cervical openings to push the egg out, Deoxys could easily accomplish this. In fact, her vulva indeed expanded when she was giving birth.
As for the sense of pain and such, if she could control her own nerve cells, then alleviating the labor pains of childbirth wouldn't seem hard to do either.
Regardless, Deoxys's performance formed a stark contrast with the pain and agony Meowstic experienced when laying her eggs just now. It was indeed the easiest midwifery job the wives had ever had!
And the color pattern of Deoxys's egg was also identical to her body, with alternating orange stripes and light blue patches.
Deoxys, who had finished giving birth, held the egg together with Lorze. Waving her tentacles and dancing with joy, she displayed a joyful appearance: Hoho, isn't having a child simple? Barely dirtied my clothes~
Moreover, due to her cell reorganization ability, Deoxys, having just laid the egg, immediately restored her body to a graceful and sexy appearance. One completely couldn't tell she was a mother who had just given birth. Only she could accomplish this point.
"Woo woo, I also worked so hard giving birth❤, I want Hubby's comfort woo❤~ Can Hubby hug me like you did with Little Sister Meowstic❤~"
Facing the flatteringly slutty Deoxys, Lorze had dark lines dropping on his head (anime sweatdrop): You guy, Haji-Deoxys... exactly where did you work hard, I'd like to ask!
But jokes aside, Lorze still ultimately gave Deoxys a warm hug, which completely satisfied her.
There were three wives pregnant this time, sequentially Meowstic, Deoxys, and Mew. Since the first two had smoothly given birth, Mew's day wasn't far off either.
A few days after Deoxys laid her egg, Mew also steadily entered her due date. This was absolutely the one everyone attached the most importance to, because Mew's life vitality... was related to the Tree of Beginning!
However, because Mew had a natural delivery, and there was only one egg in her belly, compared to Meowstic, it was relatively easier. Plus, they had anesthesia techniques and the midwifery of Mewtwo and the others.
The interesting thing was, when Mewtwo administered paralysis to Mew, Mewtwo herself also felt a burst of crisp numbness. This was because of Mew's ability: Synchronize!
Because of this, it became inconvenient for Mewtwo to help. After eating a Cheri Berry fed by Lorze, she was taken care of by her husband and rested.
Fortunately, Mew gave birth to the egg without expending too much effort. It was an egg embellished with pink patterns, petite and exquisite, as cute as Mew.
Although Mew's delivery had ended, Lorze hadn't completely relaxed yet. Instead, he continuously observed and sorted the physical sign data of the Tree of Beginning. He found that its various indicators also seemed to slowly adjust back to previous levels after Mew's delivery ended.
As for the changes in the Tree of Beginning region during this period... it was inherently the winter season when life is desolate. Lorze truly couldn't feel any changes. However, being so stable was conversely a good thing; at least no unexpected complications arose.
The three pregnant women and the babies were all safe and sound. To Lorze, this was the most important thing. And he also gets to continue enjoying his perfectly happy life~
