Nyx opened the incubator. Before she could even reach in, the big egg eagerly jumped into her arms.
In that instant, a strange, indescribable feeling of blood connection urged through her
Nyx’s eyes lit up. She clearly and unmistakably felt that this was her child–the baby that had stayed in her belly for nearly 100 days. She felt reluctant to leave it alone in the incubator.
The males watched as Nyx held the big egg tightly, unwilling to let go, and tried to persuade her. “We can take care of it. You should rest more.
This big egg truly lived up to its name–not only chubby but also heavy. They couldn’t just let it keep clinging to Nyx.
A female giving birth to an infant was already exhausting, child–rearing was supposed to be the males‘ responsibility. This had always been the way of the Beastmen.
In fact, males were required to take child–rearing courses–even if most would never have mates in their lifetime, it was still a mandatory subject.
To ease Nyx’s worries, Theon pulled up his past records from the Intelligent Brain. “I scored full marks in both the theory and practical exams for child–rearing.”
Erik knew he couldn’t compete with Theon in this regard, but ever since learning of Nyx’s pregnancy, he had been earnestly studying, determined to care for the child properly.
Nyx thought for a moment. It did make sense to let the baby spend more time with its fathers, so she passed the big egg over to them.
To her surprise, the moment the big egg left her arms and landed in Theon’s, it started bouncing around wildly–like a rubber ball.
Nyx hurriedly scooped the big egg back into her arms, her heart pounding. “I’d better take care of it myself.”
She was genuinely afraid it might fall and crack. Even though she knew Beastmen’s cubs had extremely tough eggshells, her lifelong perception of eggs being fragile was hard to shake off.
Theon and Erik shared a look, temporarily at a loss for words, their hands balled into fists. They thought this egg was infuriating, but they felt helpless.
“Should we give it a name?” Nyx asked, cuddling the big egg lovingly.
They could decide on a proper name after it hatched, but for now, a nickname would do.
“Puppy,” Theon suggested.
“Floppy,” Erik thought long and hard before blurting out his idea.
Nyx thought their naming sense was honestly laughable.

“Our Chubby is the cutest baby in the whole world declared Nyx.
Chubby reveled in the abundant motherly affection, thoroughly relishing the experience and berdiging en een erget bond with its beloved mother.
The two males, meanwhile, had increasingly complicated emotions.
A female who loved and cherished her young like Nyx was extremely rare in the entire empire.
From morning till night, Nyx devoted almost all her energy to Chubby, even holding it in her sleep. They never food a chance to get close to her.
They worried she’d wear herself out, and they were also jealous of how Chubby had taken over her heart and mind. Severd times, they tried to take over the task of caring for the baby, but neither Nyx nor Chubby cooperated.
Thinking back to the Nyx who used to invite them for grooming and even sex before she gave birth, the males were now filled with regret.
They had failed to cherish such a blessing. Time and again, they had turned Nyx down. And now, they couldn’t have her even if they wanted to.
After enduring for several days, they finally couldn’t hold back anymore and suggested, “Nyx, we should start fostering worne independence in the baby–like letting it sleep on it own.”
At first, that sounded reasonable.
Nyx was stunned for a second but quickly responded, “Chubby is still just an unhatched baby. There’s no rush for it to be independent.”
On Earth, a baby Chubby’s age would still be inside the mother’s womb, not even born yet.
She had only given birth to Chubby a little earlier than usual, but it hadn’t hatched yet. This was precisely the time when it needed her care the most.
Nyx studied the expressions of her two mates, and then suddenly realized. She pressed her lips together and chuckled, “Alright, Chubby will sleep on its own tonight.”
Reflecting on her behavior over the past few days, she suddenly realized she had been neglecting Theon and Erik.
Raising a baby was important, but maintaining a strong relationship with her mates was just as crucial to her.
As a way to make it up to them, Nyx placed Chubby in the incubation pod early that evening.

Chubby wasn’t active all the time. After all, it was still a tiny baby and spent most of its time asleep.
Nyx waited until it settled down, and then carefully placed the incubation pod outside the bedroom. She stood by for a while, making sure Chubby was sound asleep, before tiptoeing away.
After setting everything up, she pounced on her long–waiting mates. Tm here”

She thought it was time to properly make it up to them. But as she got closer, Theon and Erik suddenly became unusually stiff and reserved. “You should rest, Nyx
Nyx was baffled. “Oh? But why?”
“You just gave birth to Chubby not long ago. You probably don’t have any interest in us right now, do you?” The two males lowered their heads, looking embarrassed.
In their eyes, a male should always put his matron first. Since Nyx hadn’t brought it up, they figured they shouldn’t be shamelessly asking for it.
Nyx had no idea where they got that conclusion from. She coughed lightly. “Giving birth to Chubby doesn’t affect our sex at
all.”
It was just that she had been so busy caring for Chubby that she hadn’t thought about anything else.
She looked down at her mates from above. “You really don’t want to?”
