New World with Four Husbands

Chapter 693: Coco—

"You.." Kairo mumbled, trailing off as he shifted his eyes down to her stomach, then he looked over his shoulder and frowned. "You’re going to be a mother."

Coco blinked, barely processing what he just said.

"Something about what we brought made you throw up, right?" The hybrid asked, turning his attention back to Coco. "I don’t know how pregnancy works, but I’ll ask Heiren for help.’

"Huh..?" Coco mumbled, eyes wide.

Kairo shrugged and teared his gaze away from her. "He seemed to be the best man to be asking about pregnancy symptoms, so stay here. I’ll get him for you, okay?"

He circled around and faced the house, ready to walk back inside, but when he saw Heiren standing by the front door doorway, he froze.

"P-Perfect timing." Kairo stuttered, raising a hand to rub the back of his neck. "Coco’s sick.. And I can sense another life form from her, but it was faint.. I didn’t pay attention to it this morning, though I could tell that one of you is currently pregnant."

Heiren stared at Kairo, before shifting his focus to Coco.

The mediator walked down the porch and walked over to his wife, his eyes dropping down to her stomach.

"You’re experiencing pregnancy symptoms?" Heiren asked, more to himself than anyone else. "I guess that explains why you keep asking for us.. I thought that you only wanted our hands on you, but it seemed like it was because of the pregnancy."

"W-What are you talking about?" Coco blinked, looking at Heiren before glancing at Kairo.

Heiren stopped in front of his wife and placed his hand on her stomach, causing her to flinch and take a step back.

"I’m pretty sure that pregnancy is different from your previous world based on your reaction, but here.." Heiren mumbled, slowly trailing off and pausing, bringing his eyes up to meet hers. "Those who impregnated the mediator will experience the symptoms."

"Ha?"

Kairo stepped forward and cleared his throat. "Heiren meant that your husbands will be fine throughout the pregnancy because you will be the one who will have symptoms."

"I wouldn’t say that we will be fine exactly." Heiren hummed and leaned forward, pressing his lips on Coco’s forehead. "But Kairo is right. You will be the one who will experience the symptoms.. Throwing up, headaches, constipations, exhaustion— everything."

"Huh?" Coco frowned, a look of confusion crossing her features. "Don’t tell me that I will experience having my breasts filled with milk?"

Heiren and Kairo tensed, their gazes boring into Coco’s confused face.

Then, the second husband burst out laughing, a shake of his head following quickly. "No, no, no, but in rare cases, it happens. Still, I don’t think it will happen to you if you’re experiencing these kinds of symptoms."

Kairo huffed. "Right. Anyways, something we brought back made her nauseous."

Heiren perked up and glanced at his friend over his shoulder. "Get the food out through the other doorway, then tell everyone that we will be eating somewhere else."

The hybrid nodded his head and turned in his heels, quickly marching back inside the house.

Coco sighed and leaned her head onto Heiren’s shoulder, burying her face on his neck. "I think you got it wrong.. I just felt dizzy. I don’t think I’ll get any one of you pregnant just yet—"

"We haven’t used any kind of contraception." Heiren hummed, cutting her off.

He raised a hand and placed his palm on the back of her head, carding his fingers through her hair to massage her head.

Coco froze, the realization settling on her.

Heiren was right.. They fucked a lot for the past couple of weeks and they haven’t done anything to prevent anyone getting pregnant.

Heiren stared at Coco’s face, his lips curling into an amused smile. "Are you scared?"

Coco flinched and quickly shook her head. She can’t let Heiren think that she doesn’t want a kid— she does, but it’s just so sudden for her to actually think that she had gotten someone pregnant.

"J-Just shocked." She mumbled, her voice dripping with honesty.

"I could tell." Heiren chuckled and leaned down, pressing his lips on her forehead. "You don’t have to be so shocked though. Zaque has been desperate to have your babies, and I think the other two think the same."

That’s not what I meant. Coco thought, a lump forming in her throat.

She can’t say the words out loud because she feels like she wants to cry and it didn’t help that her chest constricted painfully.

Coco swallowed, her throat bobbing up and down. "I’m going to be a mother.."

"Mhmm." Heiren simply hummed to agree with her statement, happy and pleased, not noticing the look of horror and the tears that pricked his wife’s eyes.

He only noticed when he felt something warm and wet on his shirt, causing him to freeze on his feet.

"Coco—"

However, he couldn’t call out to his wife and check on her because a boisterous yell came from the front doorway of the house.

"We’re pregnant?!" Came the familiar shriek of the fourth husband as he burst through the door.

"Coco!" Quizen exclaimed, calling out to his wife and rushing towards her. "Are you okay?! I heard that you were nauseous and threw up just now!"

The blue haired mediator grasped Heiren’s shoulder and pulled him away from Coco, only to stop in his tracks when he spotted Coco’s crying face.

"Coco?" Quizen mumbled, his hand tightening on Heiren’s shoulder. "What’s wrong?"

Coco sniffled and that’s when Heiren knew that she was really crying, causing his heart to squeeze painfully inside his chest— because how can he not notice?

"Wha.. What am I going to do?" Coco croaked out, her hold on Heiren’s shirt tightening.

She didn’t even notice when she held onto Heiren’s shirt, but it seemed like she did it unconsciously because she felt scared and overwhelmed about everything at the moment.

Quizen and Heiren felt their heartstrings getting tugged at the sight of Coco’s tears.
