Chapter 468 The Human Baby

Jan, Luciel, and Nicholas were pacing restlessly in front of the infirmary. Since both boys looked a lot like their father, the three of them became a sight to behold. It was like seeing the king and his two mini-mes showing very similar gestures and expressions while pacing back and forth.

They all were very worried because Sophie's scream broke into the sky, and they felt like someone was being tortured mercilessly in there.

"Anne and Jack were not this bad," Luciel commented. Their younger siblings were born 15 months ago and the boys still remembered what happened. It was a breeze compared to this one.

"Human baby sucks," Jan added. Nicholas immediately halted his steps and turned around to scold his son.

"Don't say that. Humans have their challenges," Nicholas said to them seriously. "I was human until I was turned, and your mother is also a human. Your youngest sibling is human. Your grandmother and so many other people dear to you are humans."

Jan became silent. He didn't mean to mock his youngest sibling or their human relatives. He was just frustrated to hear his mother in a lot of pain and there was nothing he could do to help.

Nicholas sighed and glanced at the door. He could smell blood and it really bothered his senses. He was very worried to know Sophie was losing so much blood in giving birth to her child. Gosh... even after giving birth twice to twins, Sophie still had difficult labor because this time she was giving birth to a human.

Nicholas could only hope his mother would be able to help Sophie while she was there. She was the only woman he trusted to be by Sophie's side at this critical time.

After waiting for what seemed like forever, finally, the three males froze in their place and their ears perked up. With their heightened senses, they could immediately know when the baby was finally out of the womb and its lung inhaled the air of this new world. They could hear the heartbeat pounding loudly and then followed by a shrill scream.

"It's out!" Jan and Luciel blurted in unison. They became more restless and almost went inside to see their new sibling.

Nicholas knitted his brows and paid attention to the voices from inside the delivery room. The doctor wrapped the baby and placed her on Sophie's chest. He said happily, "Congratulations, You Grace, you have a beautiful baby girl."

Nicholas held his breath when he listened to the conversation longer. He could hear his mother gasp and kept saying how cute the baby was and how she looked so much like Sophie.

"She has your hair," said Queen Marianne excitedly.

Slowly, a smile curved up on Nicholas' face. He then exhaled and looked relieved. Sophie seemed to be okay, and so did the baby. Her scream broke the sky, so powerful and so annoying, a sign that she has very big and healthy lungs.

The doctor quickly checked the baby and didn't find any abnormalities. She was perfect. This made Nicholas feel calm and all his worries were immediately washed away. Another thing that made him happy was the fact that the human baby was a girl and seemed to take after Sophie.

He thought Sophie deserved to have her mini version after giving her husbands their own. Nicholas was already excited thinking of how he could see what Sophie looked like growing up just by looking at her youngest. She must look really, really cute and adorable.

Another reason why he was happy and thought this must be destiny at play was the fact that this little girl took after Sophie. Nicholas's mind went back to Jack and he chuckled. Jack was little Leland through and through.

The little wolf had been showing so much hostility toward him and when he thought of it again, it was better if this new kid wouldn't follow in Jack's footsteps.

"It's a girl," said Jan to Luciel.

His twin nodded. "So, she doesn't need to wait five years to transform."

"Yeah, but she will never transform into a wolf either," Jan reminded him.

"Hmm... her life would be so boring," said Luciel again.

The three anxious males were finally allowed to visit Sophie and her baby after she was moved back to her old apartment in the royal palace. She looked so tired, but happy, holding her baby in her arms when Nicholas and his sons stepped inside.

In fact, Nicholas had never seen Sophie this happy before. There was something about her that made her look glowing. Some beads of sweat still fell down from her temple but the doctor immediately told the worried king that it was just caused by exhaustion.

Gosh... Sophie looked like an angel descended from the celestial palace in the sky, Nicholas couldn't help but think.

"Mom, how are you?" Luciel came to Sophie's side and touched her arm gently, trying to make sure she was okay. Sophie looked up at him and smiled broadly.

She said, "I am fine. Just tired. Have you guys had dinner?"

Jan shook his head.

"No appetite," said Luciel. "We were very worried."

He came closer and tilted his head to look at his sister better. When he caught sight of her better, the boy gasped.

"She is so beautiful! Like a doll!" he gushed. Luciel turned to his mother and pointed at her hair. "She looks like you, she even gets your hair."

"She does, doesn't she?" Sophie chuckled.

She lowered her face and looked at her baby lovingly. She knew that most human babies were born ugly and wrinkly. However, her daughter was different. She had so much hair with streaks of light pink, it was very cute. Her cheeks were chubby, and her body was plump.

She actually didn't look like a newborn, but a month-old baby since she already looked so pretty. Seeing her daughter, Sophie thought all the pain she endured during childbirth was worth it.

However...

When she remembered how Leland didn't even know he had a new daughter, Sophie felt like crying. She pursed her lips and looked away to hide her sadness.

"She is really beautiful," Nicholas said when he stood before Sophie and saw her baby. Jan and Luciel were right. Their sister was so cute and adorable.

Seeing the sleeping baby with her mouth slightly opened, Nicholas was in awe and for a few minutes, he couldn't say anything anymore. The baby was really beautiful and he immediately felt a sense of fondness for her.

He didn't have a daughter, just sons, and even though he loved little Anne too, there was barely any interaction between them because Anne was very quiet and weak. She spent most of her time with Sophie. Nicholas' interaction was mostly with the boys. Even Jack sometimes would give him a chance to dote on him, though he would pretend not to enjoy it.

However, this new baby, a daughter, a human... offered so many possibilities for interaction and building a loving relationship. Seeing the fragile little human who looked so charming and sweet in her sleeping state, Nicholas couldn't help but promise himself that he would step up for this little one if her father still didn't return for her and Sophie.

She would grow up confused because she didn't know her biological father, unlike her older siblings who at least had the opportunity to live with Leland before he...

Before he betrayed them.

"Where are my pups?" Sophie changed the subject. She didn't want to keep thinking of Leland and cry. So she asked about little Jack and little Anne. "They must be worried."

"I already sent someone to the tavern," Nicholas replied. Max promised to bring them here as soon as possible. I am sure they will be here shortly."

"Come in."

The door was knocked from outside and the queen entered with several maids carrying food and drinks. She herself was hugging Anne in her arms and little Jack strolling beside her.

"Here they come," said the queen with a big smile. She took a seat on a chair beside Sophie and lowered her head to see the baby better. She let out an aww and gushed. "She is so pretty!"

"Thank you, Your Grace," said Sophie with a smile too. She used one hand to rub Anne's fur and then kissed her head. "Is Anne sleeping?"

The queen nodded. "Yeah. She just drank a bowl of milk together with Jack and while Jack became energized, Anne became sleepy."

"Ahh... thank you so much, Your Grace, for your help," said Sophie. "I owe you so much."

"What are you talking about?" The queen pretended to be offended. "I am not doing this to keep score. Besides, YOU helped my son when he was wounded and almost died in Blackwoods. I owe YOU."

Sophie glanced at Nicholas and the man shrugged. His mother was right. His injuries from back then were very severe. Without Sophie's help, he might have died now.
