"My child." Ming Tao said as he rubbed the softness of her stomach gently. He could not feel his baby of course but he knew his child was in there. He could not help but smile heartily as the guilt and anger for himself washed over him but he also felt a sense of joy. "After so long," Ming Tao worded, his voice held quiet amazement, he knew Mira would not lie or joke about this yet it sounded unbelievable.
"After so long." Mira whispered, her head facing his fingers on her stomach. "I wonder if we will have a girl or a boy." She added. "A boy would be as strong as his father."
"And a girl would be as beautiful and smart and strong willed as her mother." Ming Tao completed her statement. He was experiencing so many emotions at once that it all poured out through his eyes. His own heir. He was going to have his very own heir and ruler in his place. This felt like a dream come true.
"How long have you known?" Ming Tao asked, his eyes shot up to Mira who still gazed at her stomach.
