Chapter 178 - Chapter 180

Chaos, excitement, anxiety. This was all the emotions running through Amell's mind at the moment. Many might ask what could possibly make someone like Amell afraid. The answer would be the birth of his child. Right now Amell was walking back and forth outside the doors to Divisions Zero's medical wing. Inside, laid Sylvia, currently giving birth to their child. The doctor had forbidden Amell from being in there with them as a tiny portion of his aura leaked out and knocked out everyone except the doctor. Amell recruited this doctor because she was also a powerful pirate, so in case anything like this happened, she could withstand it. Luckily, nothing beyond knocking out the nurses came from his aura accidentally leaking out.

Some time passed and the doors to the gigantic medical wing opened up. The doctor responsible for Sylvia's birth and for shoving Amell out of there walked out with a slight smile on her lips. "You can come in now. The babies have arrived!" Her tone was soft and serene, but you could hear tiredness in it as well as happiness.

"Babies?" Amell picked up on the doctor's use of plurals, albeit he thought it must have been a mistake because of how tired she must be.

"Yes, babies. Your wife just gave birth to twins, Lord Amell."

"Twins? Well, that was certainly not something I expected."

"That might be the case, Lord Amell, but that just became reality. You should get in there with Lady Sylvia, she is quite exhausted so I think she could use the help." She bowed slightly at him before walking away and leaving the emperor standing there in complete silence.

"Twins, huh. Looks like the universe answered her wish. One to follow in my footsteps, and one to follow in hers. Hopefully, she won't claim custody of both." Amell chuckled and walked inside. As soon as he stepped into the room his eyes landed on his beautiful wife that laid in the bed with two blankets in her embrace.

"Hello there, beautiful!" Amell walked over and sat down on the bed under the watchful, but the tired gaze of his wife. "I heard you birthed not one, but two miracles." He spoke softly and chose his words carefully. Angering a woman directly after birth is never a good idea, so he made sure to think twice before saying anything.

"True enough." Sylvia's gaze no longer rested on her husband, instead, it rested on her newborn children. Amell didn't wanna ruin the moment for her, but he was also dying to hold his children.

"You don't have to be so cautious, love. I'm no longer angry with you. How could I, with these two beauties in the world?" Sylvia gestured for him to come over and take one of them. "I can't very well deny you this meeting since you had a little to do with their creation." Sylvia smiled like a sly, but tired old fox and let Amell take on of the children into his embrace.

"A girl and a boy?" He looked up at his wife, and she nodded in confirmation. "This little angel is mine, I just love her endlessly. I just met you, but I already love you more than my life." Amell spoke softly to the little girl sleeping in the blanket he was holding. "Daddy will protect you for eternity."

"I'm glad you feel so strongly for our daughter, but you can't claim her like she's some piece of land."

"Of course she isn't, but this little angel is definitely mine." Amell stopped looking at Sylvia and rested his gaze on his newborn daughter. "I will teach you everything I know. I will make you a world-destroying monster." His tone was so casual and sweet despite talking about destroying worlds. Sylvia shook her head and looked down on their son.

"Then I claim the right to this handsome little devil. I will develop your brain to surpass everyone before you. You will change the world not through sweat and blood, but through intelligence and kindness." Sylvia and Amell looked at each other after making their vows and together they shared a laugh.

"You're going to be a great mother, as you always have been." Amell looked into his wife's eyes with a smile on his face. And she returned the smile to him and nodded. "And you as well. No child could be safer with you as their father."

"The future is looking bright now," Amell said and kissed his daughter on her forehead. "What about a name? Do you have anything decided yet?" He looked at his wife.

"I have an idea. For her, Valerie. For him, Valerius." As soon as the names were said out loud, it all clicked in the emperor's mind. "It's absolutely perfect!" He said and looked at his daughter. "Welcome to the world, Valerie." As Amell welcomed their daughter, Sylvia welcomed their son, "Welcome, Valerius." They rested their gazes on each other, then at their children. "We did it, Love!" Sylvia said softly as Amell stroked Valerie's cheek with his giant finger. "Yes, we did." He answered with a small tear going down his cheek.
