Chapter 737: *You need to prepare yourself*
After Esmee examined the baby, she was left speechless. The pregnancy couldn’t be older than three weeks; she was sure of that after her examination, but the growth of their baby was too fast.
It was as if the pregnancy was already halfway, meaning that the baby’s growth had a two to three-week advance compared to what it should be.
As Esmee was lost in her thoughts, Alan asked her, "Is there really a problem with our baby’s growth?"
Esmee then looked at their worried faces and sighed before explaining, "Your baby is growing too fast; he or she shouldn’t be able to move. At least, Erik shouldn’t be able to perceive these movements yet."
Erik asked, putting his hand on his stomach and worried for the life that was growing inside him, "Is it dangerous for our baby? What will happen if I give birth before the three months that a normal pregnancy takes?"
Esmee smiled and said to reassure them, "Even though the growth of your baby is unexpected, I never said that it could be dangerous for your baby or for yourself."
She added, "Your baby is growing faster, but his or her development is actually perfect. Your baby’s health couldn’t be better, so rest assured that right now there is no risk. The only problem is that with that kind of growth, I guess that two or three weeks more will be enough for you to give birth. You need to prepare yourself."
Erik then frowned, and Alan paled. They both looked at each other, but Erik then said before Alan could speak, "I know! I know!"
He sighed and continued, "Let’s see if I can give birth to our baby before the war starts; otherwise, I will not participate in it. I won’t put the life of our baby at stake."
Alan felt relieved when he heard Erik say that, and Esmee also thought it was a wise decision. If the growth of their baby had been normal, Erik could have fought during the war without a problem, as their baby wouldn’t even have started to move. But right now, at this speed, Erik would be at the end of his pregnancy, and the risk of giving birth at any time would be very dangerous for both the baby and himself.
Alan then asked her, after feeling relieved that their baby was fine and that Erik wouldn’t participate in the war if he was still pregnant, "Is it because of our dual cultivation bond that the growth of our baby is so fast?"
Esmee wasn’t sure herself, so she just spoke her mind, "Your bond is indeed very powerful and provides a great source of energy for the growth of your baby. But I don’t think it is the only cause. Erik’s power is also among the strongest among the living creatures in our universe; besides the Priests, the Warrior Spirits are the strongest. With this unlimited reserve of energy, your baby’s growth is limitless."
It was the first time that a Warrior Spirit had been pregnant, as normally they were the ones on top. Esmee couldn’t help but think that this couple was truly one of a kind, and she was very glad to have met them.
