Tempting Fate-Chapter 140
140 Chapter 140: How to Feed the Pregnant
Everyone left together after eating lunch to join Reed and Emy for a check-up with an OB-GYN. And since they were already there and Emy’s doctor wasn’t there yet, she went with Eddie to get checked up. Reed and Devin were left in front of the OB room and did not go with Emy and Eddie.
“When you do an ultrasound, won’t you see the baby right away? What if they see that the child has horns and tail, then...” Devin said, but he didn’t finish what he had to say because Reed had already spoken.
“Come with me,” Reed said, then grabbed Devin’s shoulder.
Devin and Reed entered the room. Reed pointed to the poster taped to the wall.
“Right now, Emy’s stomach is just like this.” Reed pointed to the picture. “The baby is 4 and 5 inches long and may weigh up to 4 or 5 ounces. I think she’s four months pregnant in human pregnancy.”
“So if it’s a demon pregnancy, she’s already two days old. I mean, her belly should be big.”
“Yeah, and it’s not just that the baby is inside her stomach for nine months.”
“Seriously?” Devin said in disbelief. “Nine months? It would be 15 years in our realm.”
“Well, I can’t believe it either. Humans are fascinating. But their conceiving process takes forever.”
.....
“Is that safe for the baby? Nine months? That is suffocating, right?”
“I wonder how we can speed up the process. 9 months is too long, and we can’t have sex with that pregnancy period.”
“What? Why?” Devin asked in shock.
“Well, my d*ck is too big. I might make a hole in my baby’s head.”
“But I have tried having sex with pregnant demons, but I haven’t heard anything that I pierced the baby’s head,” Devin said. “Maybe you shouldn’t bury it so deep.”
Reed turned to Devin. “In your opinion?”
“Yeah, I guess so,” Devin said. “But you can’t insert your c*ck well. What’s new for you.”
“No, maybe I won’t have sex with him anymore. Nine months is fast. Besides, four months have already passed, so I only have to wait five months.”
“But five months without eating is crazy.”
One of the things that demons like them eat is the lust they get from the desire of their sex partner. When their partner’s desire is strong, it’s a meal for them, and Reed is never hungry for Emy. Emy’s body instantly reacts when he caresses her. That’s why he doesn’t look for the lust he should eat from others. Emy can provide his food without her knowledge.
Reed grabbed Devin’s shoulder again and sat outside the room again.
“Why are my posters like that on the wall?” Devin asked. “It’s quite disturbing to see such a picture on the wall. Anyway, as long as Emy is with me, I’m also willing to starve for five months.”
“What?”
“Do you think I’m giving up on him?” Devin said, smiling. Reed just shook his head. “So, how do we feed him? Do I kidnap humans again, or do you want us to take her to a scene like war, watching humans have sex, or grieve? Just say it. I’ll take care of searching.”
Reed smirked. “Are you sure you will help me even if you know there is nothing in return?”
“I’m not helping you. I’m helping Emy,” Devin said.
“Hi, are you bored? Tatay and I took a while.” Amy said.
Reed and Devin immediately stood up when Emy and Eddie arrived. They made the two sit down and stand side by side by Emy’s side.
“How’s Tatay? Getting stronger, I guess...” Reed said. Reed glanced at Eddie. Of course, he knew he was sick. He can take his pain if he wants to.
“Tatay is okay. He’s kind, and he’s following the doctor’s advice.” Emy said.
“If I can’t take care of myself, how can I take care of my grandchild?” Eddie said, laughing.
They turned around when the male doctor came. Devin and Reed frowned when they saw the doctor open the door to the room they had been waiting to unlock.
Reed and Devin looked at each other and then at a glimpse of Emy. Later they entered the room. The doctor smiled at them. Emy immediately sat in the empty chair in front of the doctor’s desk. Reed sat in the chair opposite Emy while Eddie and Devin were on the sofa.
“You have so many bodyguards.” said the doctor laughing.
“No offense, but you’re a man, aren’t you?” Reed asked.
“Yeah, I have a wife and twins.”
Reed was about to ask Emy to hold his thigh to stop him.
“Okay, when was the last menstruation?”
“Oh, July 25...”
“Did you check up after August or September?”
Emy nodded. “Yeah, but I guess I wasn’t pregnant then.”
The doctor nodded. “Okay, come on..”
The doctor stood up, and so did Emy. Reed also stood up, and Devin followed as the doctor placed Emy on the bed.
“Wait, what are you going to do?” Reed asked.
“Husband, sit there first. I won’t do anything to your wife.”
“Dad, you take care of those two first,” Emy said.
Eddie immediately pulled the two away from the curtain. Reed and Devin turned to Eddie.
“Dad, what will that man do to my wife?”
“What else? He’s checking on your wife.” Eddie said. “Go ahead and sit down, sit down.”
Reed and Devin sat down. “Relax. The doctor knows what he’s doing.” Eddie said.
“But he’s a man...”
“I know, but they are professionals. They have studied that. There is nothing to worry about.”
Later, the doctor came out, followed by Emy. Reed immediately stood up and approached Emy.
“Well, are you sure your last menstruation is in July? I need to do an ultrasound...” ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖
The doctor stood up again and left the room, the four followed him, and they entered the far room. He made Emy lie down again. It even turned to the three men.
“Alright, come in here when you see Baby.”
When the three of them entered, the baby could be seen on the monitor while the doctor rolled something over Emy’s stomach.
“Why is the baby so big? It’s like six months...” said Eddie.
“I wonder, too, maybe Miss Greyson’s count was wrong.” said the doctor. “Baby is healthy...”
Reed stared at the monitor and couldn’t believe he saw his son there. Black and white, but the baby is there, which is why he felt double the pleasure. He held Emy’s hand. It looks like Emy’s pregnancy will be fast.
“Doc, is her son a boy?” Devin asked.
“Ah, let’s take a look...” the doctor moved the thing over Emy’s stomach a few times, then stopped. “Well, did you see this thing? You have a son, Miss Greyson.”
“That’s nice, heir...” Devin said. 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎
The doctor turned to Devin. Although confused because he seemed more excited than the couple, the doctor did not ask any more questions.
——-
Reed helped Emy sit on the sofa when they arrived. Now that they’ve brought Emy’s dad home, he can ask Reed what’s happening. She was surprised when the doctor said she had been pregnant for six months.
“I told you the progress is fast, but it looks like he is still balancing being a human and a demon,” Reed said.
“That’s why I feel so strange. Aw!”
“Why? Does something hurt you?” Reed sat next to Emy.
“Baby’s moving....” Emy took Reed’s hand and placed it on top of her stomach.
Reed was surprised to feel Emy’s stomach growling. He looked at Emy.
“Did you feel it?”
“Y-yeah...” Reed couldn’t understand his feelings. He has an heir. He is also a father. The demon inside Emy’s stomach will be her salvation.
“I’m hungry.”
“What do you want to eat?”
“I think the baby is hungry. What do I need to eat?”
Devin came and entered the door, and the two turned to him.
“What?” Devin asked in surprise when he noticed the two were looking at him.
“I’m hungry...”
Devin turned to Reed.
——
Emy looked at Devin, confused. They are in the cemetery, not far away, while some cry over the buried corpse.
.....
“Open your mouth Emy...” Reed ordered.
Emy opened her mouth, and later she inhaled the strange taste of his mouth. He was eating something again that he didn’t know what, but he could taste it.
“It’s a little bit. Does that mean those people’s grief is fake?” Devin asked.
Because of the number of people crying, only four people are genuinely mourning. Reed and Devin turned to Emy. She has nothing to eat.
“Oh!” Emy held her stomach. “Baby still looks hungry.”
“These people are fake. Their emotions are not real.” Devin said.
“Don’t you know anything else she can eat?” Reed asked.
“There is...”
Devin, Reed, and Emy got back into the car. When they got out, Reed immediately hugged Emy, and they hid behind the car.
“Seriously, Devin? We’re in the middle of a war.”
“Ah, don’t complain. Emy, open your mouth.”
Emy opened her mouth again. Devin and Reed couldn’t believe the amount of emotion Emy was getting. Sadness and bereavement. There is a little anger and revenge too.
“Maybe the baby will be full,” Devin said, chuckling.
“My wife is going to die. We’re in the middle of a war, Devin.”
They could still see the missiles flying above them. Reed released black smoke and used it to protect them.
“You worry too much,” Devin said. “I’d better eat first. I want flesh and a bit of blood...”
Devin quickly disappeared in front of Reed. Reed turned to Emy, and she seemed satisfied with the emotion there. A few more minutes passed, and the feeling of sadness grew. Many have died on both sides. But still, seeing Emy enjoying the food was enough for Reed.
