"N-Nyx?!"

Celes was stunned by her wild side. Consumed by her heat, Nyx became fierce, roaring adorably as she tried to devour him, figuratively speaking.

"You’re mine! Mine! Mine!"

"Aaaahhh!"

That night, on their first night together, Celes discovered just how wild dragons could be in bed. It was as if they were possessed by pure lust, revealing their true beastly nature.

The next morning, Celes woke up aching all over his body. Despite his strength, Nyx’s wild passion had left him utterly exhausted.

What was worse...

"Huh?!"

His neck, chest, and shoulders were covered in small bite marks. He quickly healed them with his Healing Water Magic and sighed in relief that they would not remain.

He had missed one on the back of his neck, however.

"Nyx..."

He whispered into her ear, gently waking her.

"Muh? Celes?"

She looked sleepy and confused at first, but her eyes widened when she realized she was lying naked beside him in bed.

"R-Right...! We got married yesterday!"

"Did you forget that for a moment?"

"Heheh, I was dreaming about when we were kids, exploring other worlds together."

"Ahh, haha. I guess that explains the cute smile on your face."

Celes kissed her lips, and Nyx kissed him back. She dragged him back into bed and snuggled against him for nearly an hour before he finally managed to free himself.

"I’m hungry! Bring me breakfast, husband!"

"Haha, right away, my wife."

Celes did not mind her demands. He had promised her father he would make her happy, and Nyx had said it half-jokingly anyway.

When he returned with a massive breakfast that several servants helped carry, including delicious sweet pastries, fresh fruits, and specialties from Gold Sand, the two ate heartily while watching a movie from Azure Star.

Yes, they had televisions here.

"Hmm...!"

Nyx had already devoured ten plates of divine beast meat, yet she still felt hungry, as if she had suddenly grown a second stomach.

"Huh?"

She glanced down at her belly and extended her consciousness into it, checking for any stomach issues.

Her eyes widened in shock. That was not the case at all.

There was indeed something inside her, a living presence.

A small cluster of cells that demanded enormous energy and urged her to eat far more than usual.

"W-Woah?!"

She was stunned.

Nyx had entered her heat the previous night, but she had no idea she already carried a ready egg.

Even more shocking, Celes had managed to impregnate her in a single night.

And most astonishing of all, the embryonic cell had developed in just a couple of hours.

"Um... honey..." Nyx muttered.

"Hm?" Celes looked at her innocently. "What’s wrong? Do you want more meat? I’ll fetch some."

"N-No, it’s not that. It’s just... ugh, it happened so quickly and out of nowhere! Maybe it is because I am a Divine Dragon and you are a Divine Spirit?" Nyx wondered. "Maybe our cells were overflowing with vitality..."

"...?" Celes looked completely confused, unable to follow what she was saying. "Nyx? What... what are you talking about?"

"Um..." Nyx patted her belly gently. "Heheh... I-I think I’m pregnant..."

"...?!" Celes gasped in disbelief. "T-That quickly?!"

"Um, I had already reached my maturity stage as a dragon... Female dragons form eggs inside their wombs," she muttered, her face burning with embarrassment. "S-So... well, there was only one, but—"

"Nyx!" Celes cried out in pure joy, pulling her into a tight hug and kissing her. "I’m so happy! I can’t believe it...! You’re already blessing me with a child?! I am the luckiest man alive! Hahaha!"

"Y-You’re not upset?" Nyx asked, surprised.

"Why would I be upset about something so wonderful?" Celes replied. "If anything, I am incredibly happy! I already wanted to have a child anyway, though I thought it would happen in a couple of years. But this is amazing!"

"Really? Heheh! I’m going to be a mom! Hahaha!" Nyx celebrated, laughing heartily as she hugged and kissed her husband. "And you’re going to be a father, Celes!"

The news of Nyx’s pregnancy was not revealed immediately. The couple waited until their honeymoon ended a week later, after they had returned home, before sharing it with their parents and the rest of the family.

As a married couple, they had also built their own house in the grand city of Yggdrasil, a home where they would live and raise their children.

"And so, well... I’m pregnant. I will lay an egg pretty soon, I think! Though it takes a while for the egg to hatch."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Nyx had revealed it so casually that everyone stood there in stunned silence for several seconds before exploding with joy.

"What?! Oh my god! OH MY GOD, I’M GOING TO BE A GRANDMA!" Maria screamed loudly. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"KYAAAAAHHHH!" Nia shrieked in delight, hugging her son, then Nyx, then Maria.

"N-Nyx! Are you sure?! Isn’t this too soon?!" Lucifer asked, trying to stay calm but failing. "S-Surely it’s... It’s not a joke, is it?! WHAT?! BY THE ANCIENT GODS! NYX! THIS IS AMAZING!" He rushed forward and happily embraced his daughter.

"Damn, bro! You’re quick! Hahaha!" Celeste laughed loudly, hugging him and patting his head.

"Celes! Nyx! I’m so happyyyyyy!" Nia cried, tears streaming down her face as she hugged them both at once. "I’m so glad I can be a grandma! Uwaah!"

"Big sis is pregnant?!" Thanatos exclaimed in amazement. "So cool! I finally won’t be the youngest anymore!"

"Wow, that’s amazing! Little Nyx is all grown up and now she’s going to be a mom, huh?" Scarlet laughed with a gentle smile.

"Little Nyx?! Mom, she’s older than all of us siblings!" Ernestina protested. "To be honest, it was about time she got to it!"

"Nyx... You’ve grown up so wonderfully!" Alma giggled.

"Congrats, big sis," Liam said warmly.

"Wooow! This is so wonderful, big sister! Congratulations to you and your dear husband!" Oberon exclaimed, spreading his arms wide as he hugged Nyx.

"Indeed! Congrats, little Nyx! Or well, not so little anymore, fufu," Emeraldine giggled. "Well, to me you’ll always be like my daughter too."

"Congrats, Nyx," Arthur stepped forward with a gentle smile. "I’m so happy for you."

"Congratulations on the wonderful news, Nyx, Celes!" Arthur added with a gentlemanly smile.

"Yeah! I’m so happy for you, big sis! Hehehe!" little Isabella shone brightly like a tiny star, radiating pure joy.

"Wooow! I’m so happy for you, bestie!" Laura giggled.

"You did it! Kyaaaaa!" Spectra jumped with excitement.

"This is so amazing. You’re going to be a mom, Nyx!" Melianna said warmly.

These three girls had grown even closer to Nyx over the years and had become her three best friends. They shared everything and always supported one another.

"Oh my god, I am so happy!" Nyx’s grandmother exclaimed. "I will become a great-grandma now!"

"Hahaha, Mom, stop crying so much!" Laura, Maria’s sister from Earth and Nyx’s aunt, laughed. "Congrats, Nyx! You beat me to it, I guess! I am also looking forward to having a kid one day..."

"Thank you, everyone! Thank you so much! Hehehe!" Nyx giggled cheerfully, thanking them all with a bright, radiant smile.
