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

*****
Lord Cloud, Lord Rauldo, Arthur (who looks like an infant but is 18 on the inside), and me.
Our tea party for four began. That said, Arthur and I were engrossed in eating delicious sweets (my excellent maid prepared weaning-friendly treats for him). In contrast, despite this being their first reunion in a long time, the brothers weren't talking at all.
Perhaps thinking the silence was too awkward, my husband broke the ice.
「Rauldo, have you gotten used to life over there?」
「Well, I'm still not used to the cold, but it doesn't bother me indoors. Oh right, the food is incredibly delicious. I was too busy to buy any this time, but next time I'll bring back some delicious sweets.」
「「Sweets!」」
It wasn't Lord Cloud whose eyes sparkled at the mention of sweets. It was, of course, me and Arthur. I feel no shame in having my eyes sparkle alongside an infant not yet one year old; that is who I am. I did turn 19 the other day, you know!
「I see, so Sister-in-law has turned 19. I apologize for not being able to celebrate...」
「It is fine, Lord Rauldo. I received enough presents from my husband to last a lifetime.」
For my birthday in early summer, enough clothes arrived to fill my room. I wondered how long it would take to wear them all.
There were also cute bouquets and sweets.
As they say, "dumplings over flowers"—naturally, I was most delighted by the sweets.
「Also, we went on a theater date.」
「Heh, Brother did...?」
When I said that, Lord Rauldo laughed with amusement.
「He used to be a person with absolutely no interest in such things. My, people really do change when they find someone to love.」
「Shut up, Rauldo. Do you want to return to the frozen lands right this instant?」
「I'm joking. How scary.」
Lord Rauldo is about the only person who can crack jokes like that with my husband.
As he chuckled, Lord Cloud made a sullen face. I can see your ears turning red, you know.
In the midst of this heartwarming atmosphere, a cutting remark was dropped just moments later.
「Hey, hey.」
The statement came from the mentally-18-year-old infant who had cream smeared all over his cute, squishy cheeks.
As everyone focused their attention on him, Arthur asked:
「If you guys are so lovey-dovey, why don't Uncle and Melissa make a baby?」
It was an innocent question born of ignorance rather than childishness.
The ignorant child didn't notice the air crack instantly.
Hmm, this is a delicate question.
A proper adult would understand that this isn't something you ask so easily.
But did 'He', whose time stopped at 18 in his previous life, never experience the situations to understand that?
Or is he simply insensitive?
For now, let's just say,
「Arthur, you won't be popular with women.」
「Why?! I plan to become a Great Mage and be super popular in the future!」
「Plans are just plans...」
「Don't crush a child's dreams!」
「What is a mental 18-year-old saying?」
「What is someone with a mental age younger than mine saying?」
While we were exchanging such retorts, Arthur eventually forgot his own question and became absorbed in sweets again.
Thank goodness. It seems the physical youth won over the mental age of 18. Children forget what they say immediately, after all.
I glanced over to see Lord Cloud silently sipping his tea.
Lord Rauldo glanced at Lord Cloud, just as I did, and then... looked at me.
His eyes seemed to ask, 'You haven't told him?'
Well, it’s not particularly a secret. But I don't think it's something we need to go out of our way to announce. After all, the audience is an infant not yet one year old. Even if 'He' is mentally 18 and from another world, I wonder how much he would understand if I explained...
For now, I'll just give a simple explanation.
「Arthur.」
「Hmm?」
「I'll put it simply... My husband turns into a wolf.」
「...」
There, the explanation is finished. Good grief. Now then, next I'll have the mille-feuille...
As I reached out my hand, Arthur's mutterings reached my ears.
「So you mean all men are wolves. Is Uncle actually a pretty big lecher despite his looks, and you hate him, Melissa? Is he perhaps a closet perv...」
BAM!!!!
Arthur was about to say something outrageous.
However, seeing the fork stabbed into the table, he let out a fake 「Babuu!」 and went back to eating sweets.
Watching the two of them, I could only smile wryly as I heard Lord Rauldo say, half-seriously, 「I wonder how long my son will survive...」
