「I"m Having a Baby」So My Husband Told Me

The Baby is an Isekai Reincarnator

Translated by: S3

Treat me to a Ko-Fi to give me more motivation!!!

*****

Right before my eyes is the green-haired baby being held by my husband. He looks incredibly cute... on the outside, at least.

「Naa~, I'm getting sick of nothing but milk. Got any booze?」

That tone is incredibly uncute. The gap between his appearance and his voice is so severe I want to sew his mouth shut.

「This is... a truly bizarre phenomenon, isn't it?」

Alas peered at the baby with a look of wonder.

I asked the 15-year-old, who seems to possess a greater volume of knowledge than I do.

「Hey, I've never heard of a three-month-old baby talking. Does this mean he's an incredible genius?」

「Who can say? You would have to ask a specialist about that. Lady Melissa, you have several younger brothers; do you have any experience with this?」

「Of course not. If my biological brother spoke to me in a tone like this, I would stuff a lemon in his mouth.」

「Why a lemon?」

「I figured the sourness might stop him from talking.」

「Shall I bring a lemon?」

「By all means.」

「Wait, wait, please wait. I apologize for my foul mouth, so please wait, I beg of you.」

「Hah?」

「Please.」

At the conversation between Alas and me, the baby turned pale and pleaded with us. His tone was still rude, so when Alas glared at him, he rephrased it. That’s right; there isn't a person alive who can talk back to Alas.

「So? Who exactly are you?」

My husband, who had been listening silently until now, finally opened his mouth to question the baby in his arms.

The baby laughed happily, as if he had been waiting for that question.

「You see, I have memories of my past life!」

「Past life?」

「Yeah, yeah! It seems I was hit by a car and died. But when I woke up, I was a baby in a strange house. Man, I was surprised!」

「Car... You mean a carriage? That is unfortunate.」

「No, not with horses, but a car that runs on an engine... well, whatever. Say, where is this place?」

「This is the mansion of my family, the Fondis Ducal House.」

「No, the country.」

My husband answered with the country's name as asked. The baby then sighed deeply and muttered, 「Never heard of it.」

「By any chance, did I get reincarnated into another world?」

「It would seem so.」

My husband nodded at the baby's mutterings without any surprise. Both Alas and I also reacted with a simple, "Ah, is that so?"

The baby looked at us strangely.

「Why aren't you surprised? Do you think I'm lying?」

「No.」

Saying that, my husband shook his head. He continued,

「It's a common occurrence.」

「In this world, strangely enough, there are many reincarnators from other worlds. I know a few myself... though they are still rare existences. I never expected a reincarnator to appear within my own family, though.」

Yes, in this world, having memories of another world is rare, yet not unheard of.

There aren't many, but there are a fair number of them. I was a little surprised since there hadn't been anyone like that in my immediate circle, though.

「I see. So, you're a reincarnator. How old were you when you died?」

「I was 18.」

「That is... you poor thing.」

Isn't 18 the time when life is most enjoyable? An age for doing reckless things and having adventures.

「Well, can't be helped. I went out to buy food in the middle of the night because I was hungry, and my luck ran out. That was definitely a driver falling asleep at the wheel.」

「You accept things easily, don't you?」

「As long as I could be reincarnated as a human, I'm good with anything. Plus, it's another world. Man, isekai reincarnation is real! I'm moved!」

The baby grinning as he said that is actually a little cute.

Thinking he was a strong kid for accepting reality so easily, I peered closely at the baby. I could sense my husband blushing above my head, but I decided to ignore it.

「What is your name?」

「Hmm? Name? Hmm, I just can't remember it...」

「I see. So you don't remember absolutely everything.」

「Hey, are you a reincarnator too?」

「Me? Why?」

「Earlier, you said 'Hajime-chan'...」

「Ah~ it just popped into my head. There are some reincarnators who have almost no memories of their past lives, so maybe I'm one of them.」

「I see. If you're a reincarnator, the fact that you came up with that idea means you're from the same country as me. Try to remember more; I want to talk about all sorts of things.」

If you just listened to the content of the conversation, it was already a chat between peers. Since he died at 18 in his past life and I am currently 18, I suppose that’s natural.

In the corner of my vision, I could see my husband watching us with a complicated expression.

「So, are you my mother?」

「Eh, no, I'm not.」

「I see, that's good.」

Are you dissatisfied with me being your mother?

Just as I started to feel a little sad, the baby tugged on my arm.

As I brought my face closer, wondering what it was, the baby whispered,

「It'd be a shame if such a beauty was my mother! When I grow up, I'll make you my wife!」

「I will drop you.」

Immediately after, at my husband's threat delivered in a voice like ice, the baby shut his mouth, closed his eyes, and pretended to sleep with a 「Guu~」 sound.

Husband, you are being immature.
