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

Everything Went According to Plan!... Let's Just Say It Did ※Arthur's POV※

Translated by: S3

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

*****

Now I'm in trouble. What should I do?

I've been kidnapped, and I'm currently wrestling with a very difficult problem in my mind.

「Such a good boy~, sleepy time, sleepy time.」

The woman, who probably knows nothing about lullabies, was rocking me in her arms. She was likely doing it based on shallow knowledge, assuming that's how you get a child to sleep.

I was starting to feel sleepy. After all, this is the body of a one-year-old with no stamina, and a considerable amount of time has passed since the birthday party. It's likely deep into the night. It's time for children to sleep, and drowsiness was setting in.

But, I absolutely cannot sleep right now.

One reason is my escape plan.

However! But but but! Delicious candy!

The biggest reason is this!

The woman squeezed me tighter in her arms as I dozed. What happens then?

My cheek is pressed right against her voluptuous cleavage!

No, no, calm down, me. Calm down, me.

This is absolutely not the time to be getting distracted by such things.

I need to get her to let her guard down as quickly as possible and fly away using Wind Magic... I have to escape, ah, I have to escape...

............

Impossible!!!!

I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, but I'm currently enjoying a blissful time that cannot be escaped.

It's not that I don't want to escape. But gathering information on the enemy is also a necessary task.

Yes, this is strategy.

This is the result of a happy accident, not something I deliberately aimed for... not at all!

I feel like I'm making endless excuses, but the bottom line is, yes, I've abandoned the escape plan. My bad.

But seriously, this woman smells so nice and is so warm. It makes me sleepy.

This is bad; I might actually fall asleep.

Even though I knew that, the sleepiness of a one-year-old is irresistible. Ugh, I curse this lack of stamina.

Even as I struggled against it, my eyelids were sticking together... ten seconds left until deep sleep.

SMASH!

「What was that!?」

The woman suddenly screamed, and her body shuddered. My sleep was interrupted, and I felt a slight surge of irritation.

What the heck? Who is the audacious idiot who dared to interrupt my blissful time!?

I felt an unreasonable rage toward the cause.

Then, as if answering my mental question, the cause screamed,

「Arthurrrrrrr!!!!」

「Melissa?」

I called out her name accidentally, but the silver-haired woman didn't seem to hear it.

「An intruder!? Damn it, how did they find this place!?」

The woman, hastily laying me on the bed, left the room with loud, clumsy footsteps.

And I was left alone in the room.

Wait, isn't this my chance?

It was slightly different from the plan, but I had successfully gotten myself alone.

The mansion was noisy inside and out, but I figured it was best to escape under cover of the chaos. I immediately focused on the magical power flowing through my body.

In this young body, I can only manage to levitate myself.

But that's enough for now. I'm the only one who needs to escape from here.

My hair gently swayed as I concentrated my magic.

Immediately after, my body lifted a few inches from the bed. I'll fly to the window like this and...

I opened my eyes, which I had closed for concentration, and turned toward the window.

Yes, I'll fly toward that window first.

My body floated softly toward the window.

The night was completely dark outside the window.

I noticed a golden light outside and squinted. The full moon? Melissa mentioned it was a full moon tonight.

Even so, it's awfully bright, even for a full moon.

Well, whatever. It's safer to have a light source than to fly into complete darkness.

My levitating body steadily moved closer to the window.

The golden light also grew closer and closer.

Closer and closer... wait, why is the light approaching me?

I strained my eyes toward the outside of the window, and what I saw made me gasp.

「Melissa?!」

The scream I let out when I realized the light was actually Melissa's blonde hair, the sound of shattering glass, and Melissa bursting into the room astride a massive beast—it all happened at the exact same instant.
