Reincarnation of The Villainess: She Has The Duke's Baby!-Chapter 105: #-Raven Gerwyn And Ocean Gerwyn
Penelope Askary will give birth to her child in a few days.
During these nine months, the woman felt that her life was very calm and peaceful. She has also done her duties as Duchess Gerwyn with the help of Evan, the butler. Sometimes, Edmund would scold Penelope because she was always working and forgot about her being pregnant. Occasionally, Ethan and Isabella would visit Penelope to help Penelope. For Ethan and Isabella’s relationship, they both still haven’t made any progress at all. Isabella sometimes avoids Ethan to forget her love for the man but Ethan can always make Isabella closer to him. Penelope was very happy when she found out about it and felt frustrated at the same time.
Why did Isabella have to avoid Ethan? And why didn’t Ethan just tell Isabella the truth about how he felt? Penelope was sure that Ethan had fallen in love with Isabella but her older brother never admitted it.
"I only think of her as a friend and a weak woman I have to protect. After all, no one would know what the Crown Prince would do. Even though he is being punished in his palace, I’m sure that man has many ways to sneak out of the palace. And he must also have a lot of spies watching me, Isabel, and all of us."
That was Ethan’s answer when Penelope interrogated him about his feelings for Isabella.
"Ed..." Penelope called in a spoiled tone.
Edmund, who had just come out of the bathroom and was wearing only a bathrobe and was drying his hair with a towel, smiled at Penelope.
"Hmm? What is it? Do you want me to kiss you?" seduced Edmund.
Penelope blinked and snorted. She stroked her big belly while looking at it and said, "My children, don’t become perverted human beings like your Father. Do you understand?"
Edmund chuckled and shook his head in amusement. Then, he climbed onto the bed and immediately hugged Penelope tightly. "What is it? Do you need anything?"
Edmund never thought he would experience amazing things in his life. An example is when he put his hand on Penelope’s big belly and several times felt the movement of his children inside the woman’s womb. Sometimes, Edmund could feel as if his children were kicking Penelope’s belly which he was holding.
"I want brother Ethan and Isabel to get married."
Edmund raised an eyebrow and bit Penelope’s white cheek. Then, the man played with the Duchess’s blue hair which gave off the scent of roses. Edmund leaned against the head of the bed and Penelope sat on Edmund’s lap while leaning her body against Edmund’s warm chest.
"Why do you suddenly have such a desire?"
"Because they love each other. Isabel has tried to forget her love for brother Ethan but she can’t. And, brother Ethan has fallen in love with Isabel but he doesn’t realize it or doesn’t want to admit it." Penelope straightened her back and turned her head so that she could look at Edmund’s eyes. "Doesn’t that frustrate you?"
Edmund took a deep breath. "It’s not that simple, Honey. You know that Isabel is the woman chosen by the Crown Prince, right? Even though the Crown Prince was currently still locked up in his palace, the man still didn’t want to let Isabella go. They were never engaged but all the nobles in this empire knew that their relationship was very special. If there were rumors that said Isabella was close to Ethan or that the two of them had a special relationship, then the Crown Prince would use this opportunity to humiliate Ethan. Isabella most likely realized that and because of that Isabella tried to keep her distance and stay away from Ethan." Edmund clicked his tongue in annoyance. "But, my brother-in-law is really stubborn and too possessive. He doesn’t want to let Isabella go and always does weird things to keep Isabella close to him."
Penelope stared at Edmund as if he were an alien lost in the De Louis empire.
"Aren’t you the same?"
"Hmm?"
"Your possessiveness." Penelope snorted. "You were also very possessive of me in the past. I didn’t even expect that brother Ethan had a weird personality like you."
Edmund shrugged. "I have the right to do so because you are my wife. In this world, no husband wants to see his wife around another man, Penny."
"What if they’re just friends?"
"It’s the same thing. Women and men cannot be friends. There must be hidden intentions behind that friendship." Edmund shook his head and wagged his index finger. "You are an innocent woman, Penny. So, I will not let you be used by other men out there. You only need me. Do you understand, Honey?"
Penelope wanted to reply to Edmund’s words but the woman did not do it. She frowned and tilted her head left and right. Her hand rubbed her big belly quickly. This made Edmund raise an eyebrow.
"Penny? What is wrong?" asked Edmund. "You look uncomfortable."
"Err... Ed?" Penelope gulped and shot Edmund a frantic look. "Looks like I’m about to give birth."
Edmund blinked. "Huh?"
"I’m about to give birth to your child right now! Arrgh!" Penelope shouted suddenly as she felt a pain in her stomach. The woman immediately grabbed Edmund’s black hair tightly, making Edmund wince in pain but not make any screams. "Huu... haa... Edmund Gerwyn! My stomach hurts so much! You’re a jerk! You only felt the joy and pleasure when you made children with me but you didn’t feel the pain when I gave birth to your children!"
Edmund started to panic. He wanted to comfort Penelope but couldn’t because of the Duchess’s grabbing on his hair.
"What should I do now, Penny?" asked the Duke in a worried tone.
Penelope’s golden eyes widened. "You can still ask what you should do now, huh?!" she shouted. Her pretty face was already sweating. She tried to breathe properly like Duchess Askary had taught her all along. Inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth. Ugh! It hurts a lot. "Call the doctor, you bastard, pervert Duke!"
"How can I call a doctor when you’re grabbing my hair so hard like this Penny?" asked Edmund in a calm tone.
"Call the doctor right now!" Penelope shouted.
"Edgar! Sarah!" shouted Edmund. However, no one entered the room. The Duke cursed under his breath. "Chris!"
It didn’t take long for Chris to appear and kneel before the Duke and the Duchess. "Doctor! Call the doctor and midwife right now! My wife is about to give birth!"
"EDMUND GERYWN! YOUR CHILDREN WANT TO GET OUT OF MY WOMEN RIGHT NOW! WHERE ARE THE MIDWIFE AND THE DOCTOR?!" Penelope shouted. "Huu... haa..."
Edmund gulped and let Penelope continue to grab his hair and even clawed his hands. It doesn’t matter. This pain was nothing compared to the pain Penelope was currently experiencing.
Before long, Edmund and Penelope’s bedroom door opened. Chris ran with Edgar, Sarah, also the doctor and midwife. Everyone was busy preparing things that they would use to help Penelope give birth. When Edmund got out of bed and intended to wait outside according to the midwife’s request, Penelope grabbed his hair again and looked at Edmund with a sharp gaze.
"Where are you going, perverted Duke?!"
"Huh? I—"
"You want to leave me, huh?! Stay here, you idiot! I will divorce you and kill you if you dare leave me!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
Edmund felt that Penelope looked really scary at the moment. The man grimaced and nodded, then knelt beside Penelope, who was trying to follow the midwife and doctor’s instructions. He wiped the sweat and tears off Penelope’s pretty face. Edmund longed to take Penelope’s pain but he knew he would not be able to do so.
"Duchess, take a deep breath and let it out. Come on, keep pushing the baby, Duchess. I can see the baby’s head already!" exclaimed the midwife.
"Arrgh!" Penelope pushed with all her might. It felt like all the bones in her body were breaking. All her organs ached. Then, she could hear the sound of a baby crying loudly. Her golden eyes stared at the midwife, who was now lifting a tiny baby, who was healthy and chubby. Penelope smiled tiredly and cried.
"Congratulations, Duchess! A Prince has been born in this mansion. A very handsome prince like the Duke. He has black hair like the Duke and unique eyes. The Prince has the eyes of the Duke and the Duchess!"
Just as Penelope was about to ask for the baby, the woman blinked. The pain is coming back. Penelope screamed again, forcing the midwife to hand the baby boy over to Edmund, who received him awkwardly and carefully. He looked at Penelope and gripped Penelope’s hand tightly.
"Push again, Duchess! I can see the second baby’s head already." It didn’t take long, and the midwife smiled broadly and lifted another baby. "Congratulations Duchess, Duke. Your second baby is a Princess. She is a very beautiful baby and has blue hair like the Duchess. Her eyes were the same as the Duke and the Duchess. Both of you have been blessed by handsome and beautiful twins."
Sarah cried and knelt beside Penelope. Likewise, Penelope, who could not contain her happiness. She accepted her baby girl in her arms and stroked her smooth and soft cheek. The twins were crying loudly as if they wanted to announce to the world that they had been born. Then, Edmund approached Penelope and his baby girl. The four of them hugged and Edmund kissed Penelope’s forehead lovingly.
"Thank you, Duchess. You’ve made me happy. You gave me handsome and beautiful children, also strong and healthy children. I love you. I will protect the four of you with my own life. I will not let a single soul in this world hurt the four of you."
Penelope laughed and cried some more. She nodded and kissed the twins on the forehead.
"I’ve already decided on their names," said Edmund in a firm tone. He remembered the dream at that time. The man smiled at his men. "They are Raven Gerwyn and Ocean Gerwyn. They are my successors!"
Edgar, Sarah, and the others looked at each other with a smile. Then, they bowed before the twins, who were still crying as if bothered by the many people around them.
"Welcome to the world, Prince Raven, Princess Ocean. May Elleia’s light always be with the both of you and protect the both of you."
