The answer

(A/N Thanks for all of your answers to my question in the previous chapter. You don't need to worry about me adding another reincarnator to this story. I was just curious.)

(Ryoto's pov)

It was the evening of the same day, and I was lying in bed together with Lala. We were cuddling with each other.

I decided to talk with Lala right now.

Ryoto: "Hey Lala, I have something important to tell you."

I sounded uncharacteristically serious, and Lala took notice of it.

I decided to sit with my back resting against the headboard. Lala sat between my legs and leaned against my chest. I put my arms around her in that position and pit my chin on top of her head.

Lala: "What is it, Ryoto? Did something bad happen?"

Ryoto: "I don't know... I just wanted to inform you what I learned today."

Lala nodded slowly.

Ryoto: "You know that my blood became very poisonous/corrosive some time ago. Because of it, the pills I took so you wouldn't get pregnant weren't effective anymore, so there is a possibility of you being pregnant..."

I waited for Lala to say anything because silence would be unbearable, but that's precisely what happened. Lala didn't say anything, but she put her hands on her stomach.

Lala: "Am I pregnant?"

Ryoto: "I don't know. We would need to go to Mikado-sensei to do a pregnancy test, but there is a possibility since we have sex every night. What are your thoughts on that?"

Lala turned her head to me and looked straight into my eyes.

Lala: "I don't mind being pregnant with our child, but why are you so scared?"

Seen right through me, huh? Am I that easy to read?

Ryoto: "It just feels like it's too early for us being parents. It's not like I don't want to, but I don't like it being outside my control. However, if we are expecting a child, then I'll do everything to make them and you happy."

Lala suddenly changed her position and hugged me while rubbing her face on my chest.

Lala: "And I'll do everything to make our baby and you happy as well! But don't forget Kaede and Rio too!"

I felt a little embarrassed as I wanted to keep them away for at least some time, but she was right. I'll need to tell them as well, but right now, I'll focus on Lala. After all, we are in it together after all, and we'll support each other even if everyone else is against us.

I think it's the first time I'm counting on someone else in a long time, but that's fine. I'll try to be a better version of myself than I was yesterday.

Isn't that right, Koro-sensei?

Today is Sunday, and together with Lala, we decided to visit Mikado-sensei to finally find out the truth about me being a father or not.

The whole way there, I felt pretty nervous. I mean, I am ready (I think) for whatever is coming, but my emotions aren't synchronized with my thoughts.

Lala calmed me down by holding my hand. She didn't say anything, just looked at me and smiled, and I felt like all my worries had disappeared.

I sometimes feel that I don't deserve her.

We didn't say anything until we got to Mikado's house. Apparently, Mikado was awaiting our visit and had everything ready.

She took Lala to a different room to do some tests. Not only to check if she's pregnant, but also Mikado needs to see if everything is in order. Lala is a hybrid of two species, so our child would be part human, part Devilukean and part Charmian. Not to mention my 'mutations'.

I was waiting outside the lab, awaiting the news. My heart was beating hard and fast. I tapped my foot and tried to focus my thoughts on anything other than the pregnancy.

Shizu was helping Mikado, so I was alone with my thoughts, and in this type of situation, it's not always a good thing.

After I don't know how long the three girls came back.

Lala had a warm smile and had her hands on her stomach. I didn't need anyone to tell me what that meant.

Lala: "Ryoto, we'll be parents."

She said in a quiet voice. She doesn't speak that way often, seldom even.

I was stunned for a moment. I'll be a parent, a father. I'll have a real family, a family of my own. Without thinking, I ran up to Lala, lifted her up, spun around, and kissed her.

After I let her down, we had our arms around each other, and our foreheads were touching.

Ryouko: "*Cough*."

Mikado-sensei got our attention.

Ryouko: "It's nice to be young, but we need to go over a few things first..."

I learned a few new things about Devilukean/Charmian pregnancy. I already knew that the pregnancy of a Charmian species was not visible until the last month. That's because they evolved to be as beautiful as possible, so even during the pregnancy, they look the same for as long as possible.

Lala is 4 weeks pregnant, and the pregnancy will take about 9 months, so about the same as Earthlings. Everything is in order, but Lala will need to go through regular checkups.

There will also be some 'side effects' because of pregnancy. There are normal ones like morning sickness, mood swings, and the like. Still, there will also be more... unusual ones like not being able to control strength, losing strength to the level of being an ordinary human, randomly firing off the laser from the tail, and more.

Hearing that, I know that there will be many problems ahead of me, but strangely, I feel like everything will be alright.

After Mikado explained most of the things I needed to know, she said.

Ryouko: "...But I'm surprised that you take this news so well."

Ryoto: "I had some time to think and realized that I'm not alone in it, and I can always count on others to help. Yes, it will be challenging to take care of a baby while going to school. I'll do everything in my power to make them happy."

Ryouko: "That's good, but I was thinking, how are you going to tell this news to your and Lala's family. While yours isn't a problem, I imagine the king of Deviluke won't sit quietly hearing about his oldest daughter being pregnant at the age of 16."

...

I take it back. Nothing will be alright. This planet is doomed.

Knowing this Lala's father, he will destroy me and this planet if he doesn't like me in the slightest.

As I was thinking of a plan to prevent a 'bad end', Lala hugged me tighter.

Lala: "Don't worry! If I explain to papa everything properly, then it will be fine!"

She tried to reassure me, but it didn't help, or at least in a way she meant.

Her words only strengthen my resolution about protecting my family, and I think I know exactly how to do that, thanks to a little small fact about Gid.
