“I am looking forward to a new encounter. The child who resembles both of you... It must be very lovely.”
“I’m looking forward to it, too. It feels like a dream. Honestly, there are more times when I feel it isn't real yet.”
“Your body will become more and more difficult, so take care of your health. If there is anything you need or want, let me know.”
“Yes, father.”
At my answer, he smiled even more deeply, folding the wrinkles around his eyes.
In the past, he was a duke who was infinitely stingy with his smile, but these days, it's nice to see my father's easygoing smile often.
Seeing Enrique growing up by 1 centimeter every time I visit, and seeing the growth of the Seymour twins, who once competed fiercely with each other but now find their own happiness and aptitude.
It was good to close my eyes and feel the child in my stomach, which is still not clearly noticeable, and above all, I like the fact that Isidore is always by my side.
I feel it every time, but he made me feel special and like a great person. It instills confidence and courage that even if a rough wind blows, it will not collapse even if shaken.
And sometimes, when I felt pathetic, he made me respect and love myself more with his endless encouragement.
“By the way, what would be a good name for our Teunteun?”
_____In english, ‘Teunteun’ here means strongman; strong guy. But I chose to use a Korean name because it sounds cute.
There is no concept of 'Taemyeong' in the Empire, so Isidor was very amused whenever I called the baby in my belly our Teunteun.
_____‘Taemyeong’ or temporary name, the temporary name given by a pregnant mother while the baby is in the womb until the baby is born.
Even now, he laughed while making cheek wells, and kissed my still concave belly.
“I've been thinking really hard to find a better name than Teunteun...”
Isidore reached out to the bedside table and opened a thick notebook. Looking at the traces of agony, I smiled.
“I think all the good words in the world are in this.”
“Would you like to choose the one you like the most?”
“Umm....”
I was staring at the notebook, and suddenly saw a letter that caught my eye, so I poked it with my finger.
“How about Vanessa when she’s a girl and Barres when he’s a boy?"
“Great. ”
10. Barres and Vanessa
In Seymour, a lot of twins are born. The characteristics of that Seymour lineage were fully exhibited in me as well. Fraternal twins of different genders came to us.
Barres and Vanessa.
It was Barres, a boy, who came into the world first with a difference of 25 minutes and became an older brother. He looks just like me with curly purple hair.
“I’ve never seen a baby with such distinct and dignified features. There is no doubt that he will become a very handsome man in the future.”
People said with admiration every time they saw Barres, especially Arin Oslo, who made a fuss every time.
