God-Parents

With a similar reaction to when he saw his daughter kiss the freeloader, he went into shock and blocked the doorway. Sharla had to push him in with a groan before closing the door and activating a formation in the room for privacy.

Formations were similar to enchantments, only they affected a certain area, rather than just an item. Of course, it was more complex than that but it wasn't like anyone here was going to be learning that stuff anytime soon.

Sharla sat her husband on the couch opposite of them and sat beside him, reminding him to be nice and understanding about this matter. It took him over 30 minutes to collect his thoughts.

Why? When? How? Why? "What the fuck?!" He couldn't help but scream out and make the room shake.

He made the women in the room jump and Sharla then slapped his arm hard.

"Don't scare them, idiot! They're already on edge enough! You have plenty of time to throw a tantrum on your own time. Right now, we need to decide how to proceed with this since you clearly won't be able to work once you get closer to your due date."

Sharla was the voice of reason in this room and although Alan was clenching his teeth and fists hard, he didn't lash out again. Alicia stood up straight and held her head up high. She had long made her decision when she decided to stop taking the Pussy Poppers so she wasn't backing down.

Kaya was probably the most worried out of everyone since not only did she feel like a bad girlfriend and friend for not supporting her roommate's choice, but she was also still debating in her mind if she was also ready to settle down and get Alex to knock her up.

The thought of it already made her blush but Alan brought her back to reality when he asked about how this happened. The three girls began starting with what happened this morning before going into their sex life a bit, making Alan sigh in frustration and rub his face with his hands.

He already felt the aura of many girls on his apprentice most times when he saw him. He made it a habit of sparing with him until he could no longer feel them but he seemed to have an insatiable appetite for female genitals since he could smell and see the aura of many women, not just his three girlfriends, constantly surrounding him.

It was one of the reasons he finally snapped after a while and kicked him out. As a man, he knew how prideful it was to constantly have women at their beck and call. He had his fair share of conquests while he was an adventurer and although he got in deep trouble when he got home after retiring, he didn't want his marriage to start on a bed of lies.

He remembered telling Alex that he would kill him if he found out someone got knocked up by him, but now he was faltering. Alicia seemed so happy and after spending so much time with the young freeloader named Alex, he knew that the guy would not hesitate to turn around and run back home if he had to.

He would not hesitate to stop his journey before it even started and become a father. Even he was surprised by how resolute his apprentice was when the subject was brought up one night after a few drinks.

They weren't full drunk or anything but just the alcohol in the area made them more willing to talk about these deeper feelings.

He had a ton of mixed feelings about this and after thinking about it for a while thanks to the information he got from the girls, he realized something.

"He doesn't know, does he?" He questioned the women in the room.

They all hung their heads low and Alicia was feeling the most guilty about it. Even if she did find out before he left, whether she was pregnant or not, would she have been able to tell him? The answer was most likely no.

She didn't want to be the cause of holding her boyfriend back when he had such a bright future ahead of him. She also knew about his sweet personality and would definitely come back to help with her pregnancy.

The three lovers had had several talks about the future before as any young couple would do. The idea of settling down was always a wondrous feeling to have and they all loved coming up with ideas of where they could live and how many kids they would have.

But now, Alicia started crying about her guilt that was enhanced thanks to her raging hormones. Kaya and Sharla comforted her while glaring at Alan for being the cause of her despair. Alan could only sweat and hold his hands up in surrender.

He had almost forgotten the horrors of being a man in a relationship with a pregnant woman. He loved his wife and child to death but his wife was a nightmare to deal with, even when she became bedridden. He felt trapped in his own home but soldiered on because he wasn't a pussy and an asshole.

Being a father was a completely different story as well that all his adventuring and soldier experience couldn't prepare him for but he wasn't able to part most of that knowledge to anyone since it was a pussy party in the office right now.

A very emotional pussy party...

"Why did I do this to Alex?!" Alicia broke down and said some words she didn't really mean.

She was extremely emotional and quickly went from one end of the spectrum to another.

"No this is his fault! That womanizer knocked me up and left! He left me!" Alicia gritted her teeth as her comforters assured her that they both loved each other very much and Alex would be very happy and come home to celebrate.

However, Alan, the one who was supposed to stay silent to avoid getting his head chopped off, couldn't keep his mouth shut.

"I don't think we should tell him... not yet at least."

Immediately after those words, the room turned cold as all three women tried to kill him with their eyes.

"What do you mean, dear husband?" Sharla let a bit of her 3rd Ring aura right at Alan.

Alan sweated and cleared his throat to explain his thought before he was killed.

"I mean that we all know he just started his journey. He was supposed to leave a long time ago of course but things change.

"Anyways, I personally don't want to restrain him from traveling like he wanted to. He would definitely come back if he found out that you were pregnant Alicia, so I suggest we... delay... a message to him."

"What are you talking about? You want Alicia to give birth before he can come back?" Kaya glared at him, not sure how she was feeling about this man that caused her man a lot of pain in the past.

"I'm not saying that exactly, but just long enough so he can spend as much time out in the world before coming back. He will be in Carson in a few days if he isn't there already but he will probably stay there for a few months to get used to life outside of Floren.

"If we can catch him just before he leaves for another town, he can be here before you give birth."

Alan smiled seeing that he seemed to get the girls to calm down a bit and think.

"Hopefully..." His own wife shattered the good vibes that just started flowing through the room.

"What do you mean?" Alicia paled, not sure how she would feel to not having her boyfriend, and her child's father next to her when she gave birth.

"What if he takes a mission far away? How will we know when he will be back, and if he will be back before she can give birth? And I hate to say this, but what if he can't come back at all... ever?"

Sharla hated to be the bad guy right now, but she wanted them to be realistic. Both Alicia and Kaya held each other's hand, scared more than ever about the future.

Alan was thankful for his wife taking some of the slack off him but seeing how gloomy the atmosphere was again, he almost preferred them all to gang up on him.

"I like Mr. Setter's idea." Alicia said with determination after several minutes of silent thinking time.

She surprised everyone and kaya asked if she was sure about this.

"I am. I believe that Alex will be just fine. Even if he isn't able to come home before I bring his child into the world, I know he won't be too far behind. The fact that he would drop everything to come back is enough for me.

"I know I'm being selfish by bringing his child into the world without him knowing, but I hope you are all okay with that."

The other three looked at her in surprise. Kaya was the first to start laughing before the others did as well. Alicia looked at them weirdly before Sharla smiled at her brightly and explained.

"Sweetie, we would never not be okay with that. That is just as much as your child as it is Alex's so you have every right to bring it into this world. It's his fault for being so eager to impregnate you in the first place~"

Sharla teased, making the two girls blush hard and Alan choke on his saliva. She patted her husband's back while rolling her eyes making the two ladies giggle.

This would undoubtedly be a huge deal, not just for these people, but maybe the entire Floren city. It was a pretty tight nit place since this city was isolated from most of the world. There would definitely be many curses for Alex the freeloader but it would be a huge celebration for the adorable Alicia.

They all continued to crank out more details on when they should send a letter to Alex to notify him of Alicia's pregnancy and what steps were needed for the dainty girl to prepare for the baby. The biggest issue was how much the DNA of Alex would affect her and the fetus.

He was something that should not exist and Alan was finally able to tell the girls his thoughts on Alex's origins.

"This should have been something he told you two himself, but I think he might have been trying to protect you," Alan began his mysterious monologue, "I believe his abnormal strength comes from his tremendously powerful soul. With his aura being so pure, it could only mean his soul is as pure, or even more than that aura of his.

"On top of that, he is something called an Avatar. If you girls haven't heard stories about those mythical figures, they are literally mortal gods who are given the power of the God or Goddess they serve.

"To make it worse, he is a Dual Avatar, which is even more impossible, meaning he doesn't serve one God, but two. His body should not be able to sustain so much divine energy but he is still kicking.

"I don't know what will happen to your child Alicia, but you must be prepared to make a sacrifice, should that day ever come. You may have to choose one day in the near future whether you want to save your own life or your child's.

"The sooner you decide, the better since the longer you keep that child in you, the more both your lives are threatened. I won't tell you how to decide, and you don't have to either. I just want you to realize what you have gotten yourself into."

Alan softened his gaze at the woman still in her nighttime clothes. Alicia nodded and smiled a little. She didn't like how Alan was telling her to choose between her own life or her child's. That was a question she never wanted to her and wouldn't answer even if a knife was held to her and her child's throat.

If it came down to it, she wouldn't hesitate to give up her own life if it meant her child would live. That was also without the information Alan already gave her.

"Alan, Sharla?" Alicia fidgeted a bit but took a deep breath to calm herself.

The two in question turned to her curiously with her change in addressing them. She was normally polite so for her to address them by their names, it must be serious.

"W-Would you be my child's God-Parents?" Her words were a shock to them all and Kaya even felt like crying. Was she not that important.

Knowing her friend's thoughts, Alicia assured her that she would be an Aunt to her child. She believed that Kaya would soon come around and that they would be like sister-wives, even if they weren't related.

It made Kaya feel better but the Setters were still coming down from their stupor. Sharla especially was shocked and shaking in her seat. She started crying tears of joy to be able to be given such an important position in this child's bright future.

Alicia came up to Sharla and hugged her while the redhead continued to say "yes" and "of course" between her sobs. Alan asked once more if she was sure about that and she remained resolute in her decision.

In the end, a fetus that had barely grown its own limbs already had two powerhouses as God-Parents that could protect it, should something happen to its mother and father. Kaya was also happy to be an Aunt. She felt like a bit of an outsider since she still wasn't sure if she wanted to settle down with Alex, but this definitely helped encouraged her into becoming his wife.

With their discussion coming to an end, they all got up and Alan excused himself first. Sharla sighed, knowing exactly what was happening as she saw veins on his neck and felt his aura flicker around trying to contain itself.

She ignored her husband about to explode and led the girls to their room.

Alan, on the other hand, disappeared from sight using his full 6th Ring power and quickly arrived in the Ether forest.

*BOOOOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOOOOOOOOOM!*

"AHHHHHHH I'M GOING TO KILL YOU FREELOADER!!!!!"

Alan roared at the top of his lungs, making his voice echo through the entire valley and further. He went on a rampage, changing the terrain of the border of the Ether forest and turning unfortunate monsters and bandits alike into bloody mists.

He crushed trees with the force of his strikes and cleared out a huge chunk of the forest that could be used at some point to expand the city and make it safer for the citizens. He also destroyed a huge chunk of the neighboring mountain, making the existing mining caves collapse.

He was lucky enough that the miners weren't working today but it would be months before they could stabilize the tunnels and begin operations again. However, his fit of rage became a goldmine itself since his strikes on the mountain revealed a vein of Mithril!

The holiest of metals that were not only extremely flexible but were extremely dangerous and effective against monsters and Demons who consumed essence in a corrupted way by eating their victims, but was also a very luxurious looking metal that was coveted by royalty and nobility of all human kingdoms.

This would undoubtedly make Floren a hot spot on the map again, but also bring more troubles along with it.

A few minutes after Alan screamed out his lungs, Alex the freeloader felt a horrible shiver go down his spine, knowing his death was looming behind him.

"Hey driver, do you think we can go a bit faster?" He asked with a pale face as Grace and all the others looked at him strangely.

"Huh? You wanna kill my horses, rich boy? Fuck off and run yourself if you're in that much of a hurry! I won't have to pay ya that way!"

The driver hmphed and ignored him after that and a few of the people with him whispered curses about him to others but he just ignored them.

He sighed and sat back down beside Grace who asked if everything was fine.

"I'm alright, I just know I shouldn't go back to Floren any time soon." He scratched the back of his head before putting his arm around Grace.

The latter snuggled up into his neck with a bright smile and the two of them continued on their journey to Carson.
