Heaven, Earth, Me-Chapter 921: Estrella.
Chapter 921: Estrella.
After everyone calmed down and Tatyana hugged the newborn child in her arms, Evelyn asked. "So, what happened? Why was the little one born as a humanoid instead of a dragon and without a shell at that?"
Evelyn looked behind the child and saw a white-scaled tail with a very faint fur line across the spine and feathers that ended in a fan-like shape. 'Quite adorable.'
Valeria looked at Tatyana and asked. "Any idea of what happened?"
Tatyana kissed the head of the newborn and nodded. "Yes. More than active interference, this time it was a result of my carelessness."
The girls tilted their heads, and Tatyana looked at Yasenia and said. "Little Treasure, promise me you won't blame yourself."
Yasenia was confused but nodded nonetheless. "I will try."
Tatyana sighed with a smile. "Okay. I guess that's good enough." Then, Tatyana explained. "When giving birth to Yasenia, I was attacked by Heaven Laws. They are one of the most powerful laws, and I managed to survive after being struck only by hiding. However, I think that some remnants of the attack were stuck in my soul. I didn't notice them because I never really did a comprehensive analysis of my soul recently."
Tatyana sighed. "I was first busy bringing up Yasenia, and then I went to cultivate. So, during the last few years, I've had no time to engage in deep introspection. Hence, those Heaven Law Remnants affected this little one. I don't know in what way, but she is currently in a similar state to a premature baby. Moreover, as she has not eaten the dragon shell, she might be weakened during the first years of her life."
Yasenia frowned, feeling heartache. To think that her child would be affected because of her birth. While Tatyana said not to blame herself, wasn't it because of her birth that this happened?
Tatyana's hand surrounded Yasenia's, and she said. "Without your birth, this little one wouldn't have existed. Your birth was the reason the little one was born. So, be proud about it; don't blame yourself."
Yasenia looked at the clearly premature child and gently caressed the newborn's cheeks with her hand. Her touch made the newborn make a few noises, making the dragoness laugh softly. "I wonder what color her eyes will be?"
Knock. Knock. Knock.
Someone knocked on the door, and a maid's voice reached her. "Young Miss, Kaleina, and Flame are here."
The dragoness smiled. "Let them in."
The door opened, and two adolescent girls poked their heads inside. Our girls laughed, making the two girls feel a bit shy.
"Mommy, is everything okay?"
Tatyana realized and whispered. "They've probably been startled by my aura; go console them."
The dragoness realized and nodded. She smiled at the two girls and opened her arms, showing her welcoming bosom. "Come here, you two."
While they were already grown up, with Flame nearly 19 years old and Kaleina 16, they were still very cuddly in Yasenia's presence, and both of them trotted forward, falling into Yasenia's arms.
"Oh dear, so quick~. Hahaha."
The dragoness used her arms and tail to hug both darlings and gave each of them one leg to sit on. Planting a soft kiss on their cheeks, she asked. "How is it? Are you two feeling better?"
Kaleina and Flame nodded softly as they leaned on Yasenia's body. Neither of them was tall, being quite average for a woman. With Yasenia's tall stature, cuddling both of them was not a problem. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Kaleina asked. "Mommy, what happened?"
The dragoness turned on her seat enough so that both girls could look at Tatyana, and they were surprised.
Flame exclaimed and muttered with curiosity. "Oh! So… Hmm… Wrinkled? I thought babies were prettier…"
Yasenia chuckled. "Well, recently born babies usually look like that, dear. They are still the cutest in the world!"
Flame giggled, and Kaleina's eyes glittered as she asked. "Is this our little sister!? Look at her tail! It's so white and pretty!"
Tatyana laughed and said. "That's right. She is your little sister. Kaleina, you will need to protect little sister, okay?"
Cecile asked from the side. "By the way, if my spiritual sense is correct, that girl is not a girl, right?"
Kaleina and Flame titled their heads, and Kaleina suddenly exclaimed. "Oh! Is little sister like Mommy!?"
Tatyana blinked and moved the child slowly, revealing the waist area. She couldn't help but say, flabbergasted. "Why do all my daughters have an extra little peanut attached to them at birth?"
The girls laughed while Yasenia shrugged. "Well, the possibilities were there. However…" She frowned and asked. "Isn't this a problem? What if she has problems with her physique or attributes?"
Tatyana sighed. "I don't know, Little Treasure. We'll need to wait until she is one year old so that we can make the ritual."
Kaleina looked at Yasenia's frown and lifted her pretty hand to smooth out the frown. "Don't worry, Mommy! She is Mommy's daughter, so she will be healthy!"
Flame nodded. "Aunty Yasenia's child will be strong and healthy!"
Yasenia's face softened, and she rained kisses on both of them. "Why are you so so cute, eh? Do you want to make Mommy's heart melt with sweetness~?"

Both girls giggled while Yasenia looked at the child. "So, Tatyana, what's her name?"
The girls at the side tensed as the two Dravory women got thoughtful faces. They wanted to pray to something so that the name was at least pronounceable.
Tatyana hummed. "How about Estru-... No. Hmmm… Surve… No. Hmmmmmmmm."
The girls were sweating buckets. 'What kind of initial parts of a name are those!? I can't even think of one good name coming out of that!'
Tatyana frowned. "How about you name her, Yasenia?"
Yasenia blinked and looked at the child. Seeing her white tail with feathers, she hummed and opened her mouth. However, before she said anything, Evelyn interrupted. "Yasenia!"
The dragoness blinked and looked over. "What's wrong, dear?"
Evelyn stuttered, knowing where Yasenia was going with that gaze. "How about something that represents the child connecting Tatyana and you deeper, eh? Like, I don't know, like your attributes!"
The dragoness tilted her head. "Star? Is Star a good name?"
While the girls didn't think it was horrendous compared to other monstrosities that could come out from Tatyana or Yasenia, they didn't really want such a simple name for Yasenia's first child.
Kali added with a stutter. "H-How about in another language? You know many languages, right?"
Yasenia tilted her head. "Hm… How about…" Yasenia's eyes flashed and she muttered. "Estrella."
The girls paused and looked at Yasenia with widened eyes. 'A good name!? From Yasenia?! Who am I? Where am I? What timeline is this!?'
Yasenia then said. "Or Hoshi?"
The girls would've fallen to the ground if they weren't already seated. Andrea reacted quickly. "That one! No. I mean. The previous one! That one was really good!"
Yasenia looked at the little one and asked Tatyana. "What do you think about it, Tatyana?"
Tatyana hummed. "Estrella… It sounds nice. I like it."
Kaleina giggled and lifted her arms. "I also like it! Little Sister Estrella!"
The girls at the side almost cried in happiness. 'Little one! No, Estrella! We managed to protect your honor by making those two people with horrible naming sense give you a proper name!'
Tatyana looked down and called the baby. "Estrella, that's your name."
The little baby hugged Tatyana clumsily and slowly began to open her eyes. The girls exclaimed as a pair of heterochromatic golden and blue eyes. Tatyana and Yasenia blinked and looked at each other. The pair of golden eyes looked into the pair of ruby-like eyes, both looking puzzled. "Blue?"
Valeria looked at that eye and hummed. "I think she has albinism."
Tatyana and Yasenia looked at the Nature Spirit Queen, and Valeria chuckled. "That eye was supposed to be red, but it has become blue."
Evelyn asked, confused. "Isn't red like the MOST common albino type of eye color?"
Valeria shook her head. "Tatyana's eyes are red because she has red pigment in her iris. A person with albinism has red eyes because their iris is colorless, showing the blood behind the iris. It's different."
"Ohh. I see."
Yasenia poked her daughter's cheek and sighed with a loving smile. "You are really packed full of surprises, aren't you, my baby."
Kaleina looked at Yasenia and asked. "So, why was little sister Estrella born human-like? I was born like a dragon!"
The dragoness kissed her nose and said. "As I explained, there were a few complications with your little sister. So, your little sister will have to learn how to become a dragon instead of how to become human like you. Remember to help your little sister when we start practicing that, okay?"
Kaleina nodded many times. "I will!"
Tatyana began breastfeeding the child after the little one opened her eyes and commented. "I am impressed."
"About what?" Asked Andrea from the side.
"That I can breastfeed. What I am feeding her is my natural milk. I didn't produce it from a skill like Yasenia."
Yasenia asked, worried. "Is my breastmilk worse?"
Tatyana shook her head. "No. The skill you are using is just stimulating your glands. While dragons have many reptile characteristics, they have a mix of mammal traits as well."
The dragoness relaxed. "I see." Then, she smiled. "Remember to tell me if you get tired of breastfeeding her or something."
Tatyana laughed. "Sure. Having a female partner sure has its advantages."
Kaleina smiled. "Moreover, mommy's milk is super delicious!"
Yasenia asked the maids. "Are the items to nurture Estrella appropriate after what happened? Do we need to change anything?"
Flora checked the list and commented. "Some of the concoctions have to be a bit lighter, taking into account Little Miss Estrella's innate weak constitution. But other than that, everything works. There is no need to worry, Young Miss. On the contrary, since we have them prepared, they will help her quite a bit."
Flora looked at Tatyana and said. "By the way, Lady Tatyana. You should allow Young Miss to breastfeed Little Miss Estrella. From the notes of Lady Dr. Ava, I deduced that the mix of both parents' milk will help in the development and nutrition. We can use this technique to substitute Estrella's lack of eggshell. Then… we can grind some of Young Miss's scales into the milk, providing her that calcium she needs."
Yasenia was quick to take out the milk suctioner and fill a bottle. With the freshly provided milk, Flora approached Yasenia's tail and took one of her scales around the middle area.
Grounding it and mixing it with the milk gave the beverage a glittering blue color. Flora squeezed the teat of the bottle and tasted one drop, nodded. "This will be extremely nutritious. We should feed Estrella one bottle of this per day until she is one year old. Do you mind, Young Miss?"
Yasenia laughed. "Mind? If I can help my baby with my body, I will do whatever. Just say the word."
Flora nodded. Her question was more of a formality. The maids all understood Yasenia's personality well, so it was more than clear that she had the go-ahead. That's why she took the scale first without asking.
After Estrella's birth, time passed quickly, and eventually, the time for the next birth approached. Outside, the world continued to develop in Yasenia's planned direction.
