"No… normally it should be a bit smaller than that… maybe it's because you're human?"
"There's no precedent, after all. We won't know until the baby is born."
"Yeah."
No matter how much they worried, they wouldn't know until the child was born.
Since Qiong Xing didn't feel anything abnormal, he believed things would be fine, but seeing Joa's worried expression, he smiled gently as he took his hand and placed it on his stomach.
"It's alright. See? The baby's kicking energetically."
As if responding, the child kicked firmly against his belly, making Qiong Xing laugh.
"They're way too energetic. I bet it's a boy."
"Maybe they're saying 'let me out already.' But I wouldn't mind a little bear-eared girl either."
From the way his belly had grown, it was certain the child was beastkin, but since the gender was still unknown, Qiong Xing secretly hoped for a bear-eared girl.
"If it's a girl, I'm not letting her get married."
