「I"m Having a Baby」So My Husband Told Me
He Said He's Coming Back in the Middle of Summer

「It's hot.」
「Lady Melissa, you said that just a moment ago. How many times is that today?」
「But it is hot! Go complain to the sun!」
「Good grief. It's pathetic that you're acting like this just because we've had a few hot days. As a Duchess, shouldn't you be wearing your clothes immaculately?」
Mira glared at me with scornful eyes. In her line of sight was me, dressed so lightly that I couldn't possibly step outside or show myself to anyone—let alone my husband, who would likely get a nosebleed and collapse if he saw me. I had a fan in my right hand. My feet were cooling in a tub of cold water. But it was still hot.
「If I wore proper clothes in this heat, I would definitely melt. Are you okay with me turning into a slime?」
「Honestly, a slime would be an improvement.」
「Please say that after you put on a proper maid outfit.」
I shot a scornful look back at her, only to see Mira also dressed so lightly it couldn't be shown to any gentleman. Is that really okay for a maid?
「I only interact with you anyway, Lady Melissa.」
「What if my husband suddenly comes to the room?」
「It's fine. Lord Cloud only sees you. He wouldn't even look at me; he'd just look at you, get a nosebleed, collapse, and that would be the end of it.」
「Don't end him.」
Is that really okay, my maid?
「Alas comes here too, you know?」
「I don't mind if a child sees me.」
A child... is he?
Alas successfully turned 16 the other day. To me, he's fully an adult.
Or rather, he's always been mature, so calling him a child feels wrong.
「Well now, what a feast for the eyes.」
A voice called out suddenly.
The scorching midsummer days continued, and we weren't the only ones exhausted by it.
The heat is actually dangerous for children. Mira and I looked toward the voice coming from Arthur, who was supposed to be playing in a covered pool on the shaded veranda just to be safe.
There was Arthur, pacifier removed, leaning his elbows on the pool's edge and grinning.
「Seeing the sexy figures of beautiful young ladies... it really paid off to become a chil— Gwehh!」
「Miraaaa?!」
It flew!
The ice she was just about to put in her juice flew right at Arthur!
「Wait, I'm against violence! You can't throw ice at a child!」
「That is a pervert wearing a child's skin!」
「That's true, but that's not the point!」
I tried to stop her in a panic, but Mira was winding up to throw ice again. Has the heat made my maid lose it?!
「Hey Arthur, apologize! And put your pacifier in!」
「N-No way. My heart is eternally 18... I want to see what I want to see...」
That's a line an old man says! Not something a kid under one year old says!
Aaaah, the ice is going to fly at cute Arthur again!
But surprisingly, right in front of my panicked eyes, Mira lowered her raised hand.
「Mira?」
「Well, fine. Lord Rauldo will be returning soon, after all.」
Saying that, Mira crushed the ice she was holding. The way it melted and dripped down drip-drip was meaningful and terrifying.
「Let's leave the discipline to his biological father, shall we?」
Mira grinning as she said that was truly scary. Behind her, Arthur quickly popped the pacifier into his mouth.
Sighing deeply, I looked up at the blue sky.
Right, come to think of it, it is about time.
A letter came from Lord Rauldo a week ago.
It said, 'I finally got some leave!' and he wrote happily that he was coming back once to see his son.
「Lord Rauldo will probably be surprised when he sees Arthur.」
Surprised about his growth? Or that he can use magic? Or perhaps about his past-life personality?
Thinking inwardly that it's probably "all of the above," I could only smile wryly.
With a clink, the melting ice in the glass shifted.
