Chapter 965: Remembering

--AN) Feeling Sick, so just an extra long chapter...--

"Ah! Creige, I think the baby is here!" Kana cried out happily.

Creige, who was standing next to Kana, scooped her up and disappeared without a word. The whole room full of officials was silent for a brief second before suddenly being filled with cheers. "It"s a grand occasion!"

While the officials were cheering, Kana was brought to her room. Creige called in Angelica and Rain to a.s.sist with the child birth while he stayed at Kana"s side, holding her hand. "Creige….. Our baby is about to be born…."

"Mmm…. " Creige nodded and kissed Kana on the lips.

Once Kana was prepped. It was time for the show to begin. "Okay, Mama, you need to push…."

"Ahhhhh!!!!!!!" Kana cried out. While it was painful, she knew that her baby was coming, so she would endure it. Luckily for her, she was giving birth to an egg that would then hatch after a while.

"It"s here! One final pus.h.!.+" Rain yelled out. She was the most experienced with child birth after her mother, so she knew what to do. "It"s out!" As the egg pushed out, Rain carefully wrapped it up and cleaned it off. Before handing it over to her Handsome Papa.

"Hmmm…. It seems a new G.o.d of Death has been born." Creige suddenly said as he held the egg in his arms. There was a bit of grayish fog wrapped around the egg that was filled with death energy.

"Handsome Papa, it could also be a G.o.ddess of Death!" Angelica retorted as she helped clean up. Kana lay on the bed looking at the black egg in Creige"s arms with mixed emotions. She had felt this presence before. Tears began to roll down her face as she looked at the egg. She was happy her baby was born, but she also had a strange sadness inside her, and she did not know why.

When Creige brought the egg over and placed it in Kana"s arms, her tears began to fall faster as her heart began to ache more. "Mama!?" Rain and Angelica both called out when they saw their Mama crying like this.

Yana, Bi, and Mei Ling both came in when they heard their Mama cry with worried looks on their faces, but when they saw the egg in their Mama"s arms, they let out sighs of relief. They had decided to stay outside the room in case their presence would cause their Mama any stress and had only come in just now.

"Kana, what"s wrong?" Creige asked worriedly. He had a feeling, but he was not sure if he should say anything….

"Creige…." Kana began bawling her eyes out. "Devan came back to us! My baby boy!!!!!!"

Kana"s cry caused Creige to tear up as he held Kana in his arms. She remembered. She remembered their son! Angelica, Rain, and Yana all understood what was happening. While Bi and Mei were very confused when they saw that even her elder sisters were crying! Yana just patted the top of Bi Ling"s head and said: "We will tell you a story another time. For now, we should go outside and let Mama and Handsome Papa be alone."

After the girls left, Creige held Kana in his arms as she hugged her egg. At the same time, memories of her past life with Creige flooded into her mind. Telling her of a past, she had once forgotten. The pain and heartache and the love of the man next to her who would not let her go.

The flood of memories was a wave of emotions that she had never expected. She was happy. She was happy that Creige found her even after death. That they were together and again, and she knew for a fact that the egg in her arms was her son, Devan. Even the egg stirred slightly as it heard Kana"s mournful tears as she continued to cry.

At some point, Kana ended up crying herself to sleep as she held onto the egg in her arms, not willing to let it go again. Creige pushed a lock of hair behind Kana"s ear and smiled warmly. She had just given birth and then had a breakdown. He just hoped that she would not punish herself for her past actions. This was the last thing Creige wanted for his wife.

The next morning Kana was still sleeping. Angelica took over her role in court because Creige was staying at Kana"s side. The officials were so excited when they heard that the baby had been born without issue. They even made the court session more about how they were going to set up a grand celebration to celebrate the birth of the first prince.

Later that day, Kana slowly woke up. She looked at the egg in her arms and smiled as she gently caressed its s.h.i.+ny black sh.e.l.l. "My Devan…." She spoke softly as she curled up with the egg. Creige, who had just walked back into the room after freshening up. Saw that moment and sighed in relief. He did not know how it all happened, but he was happy that things turned out the way they did. He still had no idea how much she remembered, but because she remembered their son, he was happy.

Life is strange, and many unexpected things can happen. Creige himself had no idea how this happened, but he was glad it did. He was happy that his son was able to be reborn back into their family, where they could give him the love and care he deserved. His son was without his real parents in his past life, and he would be d.a.m.ned if he would ever let that happen again.

This time no matter what, he would protect his son from the wind and rain. So that he and Kana will never have to feel the grief of giving away their child again. "Criege?" Kana"s voice entered Creige"s ear, snapping him out of his thoughts. He smiled and walked over to the bed, and climbed into it. He then snuggled up against the egg and wife and held her hand. "I am happy…. So very happy."

Kana placed her hand on Creige"s cheek as the two cradled the egg between them. She began to tear up again but did her best to hold those tears back. Like this, the two ended up falling asleep again.

Inside the egg, Devan had been feeling very warm inside. His Mama finally remembered him from her past life. He did not blame her for accidentally consuming him and actually was very thankful that she did, or else he could not have protected her. He would also never have had a chance to be reborn like this. This was all thanks to a series of events that led up to this moment. But now here he was, reborn in an egg waiting for the day he could finally crack open the sh.e.l.l and hug his Mama for real.

For him, who had led a life of solitude before and only understood what love was when it was already gone, this was a chance he would never give up. He would grow up strong and protect his Mama and everything she holds dear. Because now he understood just how caring and loving this woman was. She cared more for her family than anything else. It was this warmth and kindness that he missed in his past life. Or, more like he had it but did not recognize it because he did not grow up with it. Devan clutched his small fist and closed his eyes. He just had to wait until the day he hatched.

In a sitting room in the palace, Bi Ling and Mei Ling were getting a rundown of their Mama"s past. Tears fell from her eyes when she heard such a sad story. She wanted to run off and hug her Mama, but her big sisters stopped her. "So this is where the name Devan came from?"

"Mmmm… We had a feeling she was starting to remember, but we had to let her remember on her own. To let things come naturally."Angelica explained.

Hearing this, Bi Ling nodded in understanding while in her mind Mei Ling was still crying due to the story. "Mei, Mama is fine now. She just remembered a bad memory, is all. She and our new brother will be fine."

"I know, but still!" Mei Ling couldn"t keep herself from crying. Bi Ling sighed internally and wished she could comfort her sister better, but the most she could do was use her thoughts to convey her feelings.

Three days later, Kana returned to court while hugging her egg. All the officials were looking at the egg as if it was the most precious thing in the world. The officials all brought gifts and congratulated their Empress on giving birth. But one thing they did not understand was how they knew it was a male. It was just an egg at this point, so the officials were very confused on this matter. Kana also did not give them an exact answer either and just said: "I just know."
