Yuna went into labor at 2:55 AM, thirty-nine weeks into her ninth pregnancy.The contractions were brutal. She gripped Haruto’s arm with surprising force in the car, moaning and cursing through the pain as he drove through the empty streets."Faster...! She’s coming...!" Yuna gasped, both hands clutching her massive belly.Haruto drove in silence, his face pale and empty. This was now his ninth time rushing his wife to the hospital to give birth to another man’s child.

At the hospital, the delivery room was prepared. Haruto signed the birth certificate paperwork as the father for the ninth time. Marcus arrived shortly after and was allowed in the room.The labor lasted eight exhausting hours.Yuna screamed, pushed, and cursed, her face red and drenched in sweat. Haruto held one hand, Marcus held the other."Push, baby," Marcus encouraged her. "Push out our daughter.""I’m pushing—!! It hurts so much—!!" Yuna screamed.Haruto stood beside her in scrubs, tears streaming down his face as he watched his extremely pregnant wife struggle to deliver yet another child that wasn’t his.At 10:48 AM, Aria Khalil Takahashi was born.The baby came out crying strongly — a healthy, beautiful baby girl with light brown skin, curly hair, and features that left no doubt about her true father. The doctor placed her on Yuna’s chest.Yuna burst into tears of pure joy, cradling her newborn daughter."She’s perfect..." she sobbed happily. "Look at her, Marcus. Our ninth child."Marcus smiled with deep pride and kissed Yuna’s forehead, gently stroking the baby’s head.Haruto was once again forced to cut the umbilical cord. His hands shook violently as the scissors snipped the connection. The weight of nine children that weren’t his crushed down on him harder than ever.

In the recovery room, Yuna breastfed Aria while looking radiant despite exhaustion. Marcus sat beside her, proud and possessive.Haruto stood at the foot of the bed, holding the birth certificate for the ninth time."Sign it," Yuna ordered softly, not even looking up from her daughter.Haruto’s tears fell onto the paper as he signed his name once again: Father: Haruto Takahashi.Nurses congratulated him warmly. "Another beautiful baby girl! Your family is truly blessed!"Haruto forced a broken, empty smile."Yes... I’m very happy."When the nurses left, Yuna finally looked at him with tired but cruel satisfaction."Come here."Haruto approached. Yuna gently placed the newborn Aria in his arms."Hold your ninth child, fake daddy."Haruto held the tiny baby — Marcus’s ninth child — in his trembling arms. Aria was perfect. Beautiful. And nothing like him.Yuna took several photos."This one is going straight to the premium gallery," she said happily. "Caption: ’Our family keeps blessing us Thank you to my wonderful husband for being such a devoted father to all our children.’"Marcus chuckled and patted Haruto on the back."You’re a master at this now, cuck. Keep raising them well. I’ll keep making them."

That night in the hospital room, after Marcus had left, Yuna lay in bed breastfeeding Aria while Haruto knelt beside her.She looked down at him with exhausted but glowing eyes."Nine children now," she whispered. "And I’m already planning the tenth. Marcus wants to start trying again in five weeks."She reached down and stroked Haruto’s tear-stained cheek."You did well today. You always do. Even when it destroys you... you still serve perfectly."Yuna smiled, eyes full of dark affection."Welcome to fatherhood for the ninth time, Haruto. Only one more to reach our goal."Haruto remained on his knees, staring at the newborn baby girl in Yuna’s arms — another living proof of his complete and irreversible destruction.The cycle continued.Stronger.Faster.Endless.
