Vol.0 Ch.149 The Dog Days of Pregnancy

Once everyone finished their meals, Quinus knew this was his shot to help Mathew with Wina.

"Lady Wina. I noticed you've been distracted lately. You are my main guardian and I need you to be sharp. Is something troubling you?"

Wina perked up when the Prince spoke. She didn't expect the Prince to call her out on her attitude.

"U-uh... I'm sorry, Your Highness. I promise to do better," Wina apologized, as she had become more distracted lately.

Quinus shook his head. "That's not the point. I think I know why you are so distracted lately and it's not healthy. So I need you to follow my instructions this one time."

"O-of course, My Prince."

"Good. Sir Mathew... I need you to cooperate as well," Quinus said as he looked at the defeated Royal Knight slouching in his chair.

"Of course, My Prince," Mathew said as he was curious what the Prince was going to do. He was hoping that he could help him with his wife.

"Good! So the first thing I need you two to do is to look each other in the eyes," Quinus ordered.

"Huh? Why should I look him in the eye, Prince Quinus?" Wina asked as she was still grumpy with her husband. Mathew looked worried. He still didn't know why his wife had a grudge against him.

"Just trust me, Lady Wina," Quinus said as he smiled, hoping that would convince her.

"Okay. But I'm only doing this once, Prince Quinus. If this doesn't work, then I'm not going to be happy about this," Wina said as she looked at Mathew with a scowl.

"Understood," Quinus replied.

Wina glared at Mathew's sad green eyes, while Mathew looked into her bright hazel eyes.

'Alright Mathew, don't screw this up.'

"Now, Sir Mathew. Tell me, is Lady Wina beautiful?..."

"H-huh?..." Mathew stuttered as he didn't know how to answer the Prince's question while Wina's glare morphed into a look of confusion.

"Is your wife beautiful, Sir Mathew?" Quinus asked again.

"Of course she is beautiful. Why would you ask such a thing?"

Quinus ignored his remark, "Do you find her attractive right now?"

"Yes, of course. She's always beautiful and she is very sex-attractive, more than she knows," Mathew said as Wina's cheeks turned red when she heard her husband call her beautiful and sexy.

"I couldn't agree with you more, Sir Mathew," Quinus replied. "Now, why have you been avoiding Lady Wina?"

Mathew gulped as he didn't want to answer that question, especially in front of a child.

"Sir Mathew?..." Quinus asked again as he leaned forward in his seat.

Mathew sighed and gave in. "U-um. W-Well, I-I was told by my father that it wouldn't be good for the baby if I got... intimate with my wife... You wouldn't understand how I've been fighting every fiber of my being not to... get intimate with her. So I wouldn't hurt my unborn child, Your Highness. So, I was trying to give her some space, so I didn't lose control of myself. But, it seems that I've failed as a husband."

Wina looked at Mathew with shock and shame as her face turned bright red. She didn't know what to say. Her imagination got the better of her and she was wrong this whole time. She got mad at him for no good reason. All because she thought her husband wasn't attracted to her anymore.

"You know, Sir Mathew... You're a pretty dumb fellow if you believe that old wives' tale." Quinus said with annoyance.

"E-eh?"

"You can't hurt the child by being intimate with your wife, Sir Mathew. Unless you do something to injure Lady Wina's belly. That rumor is just some garbage that came from goddess knows where. If you keep this up, you'll lose Lady Wina."

"Huh?!... Can that really be true? How are you so sure, Your Highness," Mathew questioned.

"I've read half of the library, Sir Mathew. I even read some of the medical books just for fun. So I've read one journal that says it's perfectly safe to be intimate with your significant other," Quinus said confidently to Sir Mathew. Even though it was a half-truth. Quinus wasn't interested in medicine and hadn't touched any of those books dealing with that subject yet. He just knew that it was okay to have sex with someone who was pregnant, thanks to his past life's knowledge.

"S-sorry, Your Highness. I-I didn't know..."

"You got bad advice and nothing more, Sir Mathew... Now, Lady Nelumbo... Grab your things and let us depart."

"Eh?!" Lady Nelumbo was surprised by the Prince's command.

"Your Highness? Where are we going?" Lady Nelumbo asked as she was confused as to why the Prince was leaving without his guardian.

"Nowhere in particular... Lady Wina, you have two hours. I would advise you to use them wisely. Now, Lady Nelumbo, shall we go for a walk?" Quinus said as he got out of his seat and walked out the door.Fịndd new updates on n(o)v/e/lbin(.)com

Lady Nelumbo finally caught on to what the Prince was talking about and grabbed her sword before bowing to Lady Wina and Sir Mathew. She turned around and left the room in a hurry.

"Lady Wina, Sir Mathew... Thank you for the hospitality!" Nelumbo said in a hurry as she wanted to get out of there quickly.

Mathew was looking at the doorway, speechless. While Wina was staring at Mathew.

"You know... I was jealous that you were ignoring me, Mat... And I felt like I had done something wrong..." Wina said in a soft tone.

Mathew snapped out of his trance and looked at Wina.

"I-I didn't know, Win. I-I'm so sorry. I didn't know I was making you feel that way."

"I understand. I just thought it was because I was getting fat and that you weren't attracted to me anymore."

Mathew got out of his seat and kneeled down next to her so he could get a closer look into her eyes.

"You're perfect! You're sexier than you know. I've been holding back like a fool because I didn't want to hurt our child."

Wina started crying tears of joy.

"Stupid... Stupid, stupid, stupid!"

"I'm sorry," Mathew apologized as he hugged his wife.

"I'm not upset with you. It's my hormones and I was so emotional. I was so mad that you were keeping your distance."

"I'm sorry, Win. I didn't know."

"Well, if you are so sorry, then make love to me right now," Wina said as she wiped her tears away.

Mathew didn't need to be told twice. He kissed Wina deeply and she wrapped her arms around him. The kiss was intense and heated. Wina moaned into the kiss. She had been longing for his touch for weeks now. They continued kissing until they had to separate for air. Wina was breathing heavily. She was trying to catch her breath while Mathew's eyes started to linger towards her massive breasts.

"Like what you see?" Wina asked, catching him in the act.

"Of course," Mathew replied.

Wina then pushed her chair away from the table and stood up. Her dress was hugging her body and her belly was straining against her corset.

"Then come and take me."

"Heh," Mathew smirked and walked over to her and intercepted her lips before moving down to her neck.

"Mmhh!" Mathew kissed and sucked on her neck as he was fondling her ass.

"Ahhh..." Wina was moaning in delight.

Mathew stopped kissing her neck and lifted her up, with his hands under her thighs. He carried her with ease to the bedroom. Once they entered the bedroom, he put her down before pushing her back on the bed. He was hovering above her and his eyes were roaming all over her body.

"Take my clothes off," Wina ordered Mathew.

Mathew's lips formed into a devilish grin.

"Of course."

Mathew then used his teeth to pull the ribbon off her corset and started unbuttoning her dress. After he finished with the buttons, her massive breasts were revealed and he took one of her nipples in his mouth.

"AUGH! Yes! YESSSS!"

Wina was in heaven as Mathew's tongue swirled around her areola. After a minute or two, Mathew started to suck her nipple while pinching the other one.

"AAAAAAAHHH!"

"Mmmm."

Mathew then switched, he started sucking the other one and pinching the nipple that was already hard.

Mathew smiled and turned her over so he could kiss those luscious lips of hers.

"Let's get cleaned up," Mathew said as he broke away from the kiss.

"Mmm, yes."

Mathew got off the bed and helped Wina to her feet. They went to the bath to clean each other up. But Wina was able to make Mathew cum one more time before they finished.

After they finished cleaning up. Mathew put on a new set of clothes. While Wina wore a different dress.

"How are you feeling, Win?"

"Better. Thank you."

"Mm, well, let's get to the Prince before Lady Nelumbo gets bored," Mathew said while rubbing her belly.

"She should learn to enjoy herself. Besides, she's with the Prince. And the Prince can be quite entertaining," Wina said with a smirk.

"I know her. What Quinus likes is more torture to her than entertainment," Mathew said with a grimace.

Wina shook her head as they both left their room and headed towards the library.

***

And that's how things went over the next 6 months before the big day came.

When Wina's water broke, Mathew was notified right away and they were taken to the medical wing of the palace.

Mathew was a wreck. He was worried about his wife. The labor was intense and lasted for 18 hours. Luckily Wina was able to get a potion from her alchemist, Lucas, to help with the pain.

Eventually, the baby came and Wina was exhausted. But happy.

Queen Rianna hurried when she heard the news.

Prince Quinus and Lady Nelumbo were following the Queen as they walked through the hallways. Lady Nelumbo took over being Quinus's main guardian when Wina was in her third trimester.

Mathew and Wina are in the room and the nurse was cleaning the baby up.

The baby boy was wrapped up in a blanket and handed over to his parents.

Queen Rianna entered the room.

"Sir Mathew, Lady Wina, are you two doing well?"

"Yes, Your Majesty," Mathew and Wina both responded at the same time.

"I hope it wasn't too much for you," Rianna asked with a worried tone, while Quinus walked in from behind her.

"Not at all, Your Majesty," Wina said as she was happy that she wasn't carrying a child anymore. She was still in pain but it was a pain she was trained for.

"You two are truly amazing. I can't believe you gave birth and I wasn't here for it," Rianna said, disappointed.

"No, no, you have your duties as a queen. I understand. I'm just glad that it's all over with. But it wasn't as terrible as I thought it was going to be," Wina said as she stroked her son's hair.

"So, what's her name?" The Queen asked with curiosity.

Mathew and Wina looked at each other in trepidation as they knew the Queen kept saying that Wina was going to give birth to a girl so she could have her be with Quinus.

"Your Majesty, this is my son," Mathew said as he stepped forward to show the Queen.

Rianna's smile quivered but she kept it up even though she was showing disappointment in her eyes. Her plans were shattered and she was having trouble accepting this fact.

"Mother! I told you that you shouldn't get your hopes up. But, I can assure you, if it was a girl, I would've respected Sir Mathew's and Lady Wina's decisions and wishes for the future of their child. You shouldn't force things," Quinus said to his Mother who was getting way too invested in the gender of the child.

"It's fine. I understand your disappointment, Your Majesty, but this child is a boy," Mathew said with pride.

"Well, at least I will still get to see him grow and become a friend to my son. Congratulations. You did a marvelous job. Do you have a name?" Queen Rianna said, still slightly upset.

"We decided to call him Percy," Mathew answered.

"It's a fine name."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I'm sure our son will be a good friend to the Prince. And will serve the Royal Family with honor."

"I have no doubts. If you two raise him, then he will surely be a good man," Queen Rianna said as she finally started accepting the situation.

"May I hold him?"

"Of course, Your Majesty," Wina said as she gently handed the baby over. Rianna took him carefully and gently into her arms.

"Hello, little one. You're a strong boy, aren't you?"

"Percy's been fussy ever since he was born, Your Majesty," Mathew explained.

"Oh, my, well he's been through a lot today. It's natural."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Mathew and Wina both agreed.

"Oh, and congratulations to you both," Quinus said as he looked at the baby.

'Well... I should help out Wina and Mathew. I know they won't be able to watch over the child all the time. So I'll do what I can,' Quinus thought as he watched the newborn baby.

Rianna handed Percy back to his mother. "Well, we'll leave you three be. I know King Cyndre would have wished to be here if he didn't need to go and visit the northern territories to deal with the monsters there. But he will return soon. In the meantime, we will send him a letter and have him meet the baby when he returns. Until then, we will send our blessings. If you need anything, do not hesitate to ask."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. For your generosity."

"You're welcome, Sir Mathew. It is the least I can do."

Rianna left the room. Quinus stayed behind for a few moments before the two-year-old Prince gave them a smile and a nod.

"I'll make sure that Percy doesn't get into any trouble," Quinus assured them.

"We thank you for your concern, My Prince. But we'll take care of him," Mathew said.

"No. As the future king, I'm taking responsibility. I don't like the idea of taking advantage of people. So I'm not going to do that. Besides, you've been taking care of me and helping me out ever since I was a baby. So this is the least I can do," Quinus said.

Wina and Mathew always thought it was strange how mature the Prince was. But if he wanted to help out. They weren't going to stop him.

"Thank you, My Prince," Wina said.

"Thank you," Mathew added.

Quinus left the room.

Wina and Mathew sighed.

"Well... I suppose it's not bad," Wina said as she held her son in her arms.

"Yeah. But we need to make sure our boy can hold his own and be there for the Prince when he least expects it," Mathew said.

Wina giggled and said, "You sound like a parent."

"Because I am, Win."

"Mm, well, at least I know that we'll have a good future for our son."

They looked at their sleeping child and smiled.

"We're going to raise him well, Win."

"I know. And we'll be the best parents ever."

"Haha... Damn straight."

And so, they began their lives as new parents.
