《The Bride of Gojo Satoru》Chapter 30
Advertisement
My sweet pregnant wife was 10 weeks pregnant, and her glowing skin made her beautiful each day as well as her growing belly. She was finally showing her baby bump. This time it's more visible because she's carrying triplets. As my face was propped by my hand, I couldn't help but admire her. A big grin pulled my lips apart as I sighed from the sight of her eating blueberry pie. Her beauty was like an endless waterfall while she stuffed her face with her food.
"Uhh... How long are you going to keep staring? It's kind of uncomfortable." My wife uttered out, licking the blue jam off her plate.
I couldn't help but giggle at her cuteness. "Can I not admire you? You never ceased to make me fall in love with you over and over again." I know I'm not a good husband all the time neither was Ena. We both have our flaws, but what I failed to do for her first pregnancy was to be there for her. I left her alone most of the time because of the higher ups constantly giving me missions. It made my heart ache all the time since her pregnancy journey was for two—not one. I also owe Shoko a lot for looking after my wife. Without Shoko or the other girls, I don't think I would've been at ease. They gave her company and tried to fill her happiness while I was away. So this time I'm going to make sure I'll be by her side. With my students getting stronger each day, I'll throw my task on to them! Hopefully they should understand that a pregnant woman needs their beloved husband.
"Yeah you can, but you weren't blinking at all... And that's a bit concerning not gonna lie." My wife grabbed a cup of water and chugged it down in one go. Since her pregnancy has started, she showed more of her barbaric side to being sloppy and lazy. I can't blame her; she has three lives to take care of.
Oh, that reminds me!
"Honey, should we buy you more maternity clothes? Oh! What about baby cribs and—"
My wife chuckled at my ecstatic attitude as she moved out of her seat and sat on my lap. Her arms wrapped around my neck, laying her head on my shoulder. Dang, my woman got a bit heavy now. Her weight lightly crushed my thighs, but I won't tell her or else she'll murder me. However, it's cute of her to gain weight. It meant she's feeding our babies.
"Satoru, I know you're eager to have a baby room, but it's a bit too early to do that right now. We don't even know their genders, and the first trimester is very risky for our developing embryos. I'll always do my best to protect my body but sometimes miscarriages can occur."
My heart squeezed as I recalled her miscarriage nightmare. She scared the heck out of me that day. Her sniffles and wet tears rolled down her sleeping state during that time 5 years ago. It made me fear what she was dreaming about until I woke her up. I can never forget how frightened her face was when she clung on to me. Her golden eyes enlarged while her face paled like she saw a ghost. My wife wasn't in the right state of mine as I remembered her very words as she asked if she lost our baby. Seeing her in her vulnerable state made me want to protect her even more. She was and still is precious to me.

"Baby, there's no way you're going to have a miscarriage. Our babies are created by the strongest sorcerers in this world!" I planted a warm kiss on her cheek, seeping my love and affection on her soul. "They're going to be as beautiful as our son, Nao."
Ena pulled back, gazing at me with her glossy eyes. For some reason, having her in my lap and her looking at me like this took me back to when I first carried her in my arms back 10 years ago. She was so feisty and meaner back then and still is sometimes. Nonetheless, I fell in love with her at first sight. Her face hasn't changed one bit. Her timeless beauty had no expiration date, and I don't think I will ever open my heart up to anyone else but her. She's my one and only soulmate. I'm glad I was chosen to be her groom instead of Geto. He wouldn't have been able to make her happy because of his astrayed ideology.
My wife's voice brought me back to Earth, "Oh? Babe! Why are you crying?!" Ena's fingers gently wiped my tears off my face, giving me a good view of her concerned facial expression up close. I didn't even know I cried. I guess I was too into my thoughts that I forgot she was with me.
"What? Daddy's crying?!" Our son came rushing into the dining room when he heard the news from the living room. Hearing his baby footsteps made my eyes release more tears as I realized how magnificent my family was. I have a gorgeous pregnant wife and a son who shared our powerful genes. As a man, who never showed much of his emotional side to his family finally did. I was just more emotional than my own wife today.
I cried through my tears of joy, pulling Naozumi up on my lap as I hugged them close to me. My wife's face was squeezed against my cheek while Naozumi was pressed against my chest. "I love you all from the bottom of my heart... You're a blessing to us, Nao! And honey, if I had never met you at all, I don't think I would be living this wonderful life at all!" My emotions rambled on, exposing my true feelings to my precious small family.
After dropping Naozumi off at my students' dorms, Ena and I were at her doctor's appointment. We were here to check up on our triplets.
As we watched the monitor screen, we heard their heart beats and saw outlines of their bodies. They looked so precious and small. My heart swelled from this joyful moment. I forgot how it felt like to be a father again. Squeezing my lovely wife's hand, Ena turned and smiled sweetly at me. She was totally in love with our triplets as her eyes glistened in the dimmed room. We've tried for 5 years to have another child and this time we were graced with three. They were three peas in one pod.
"I love you, honey." I leaned over and kissed her forehead. "I'm so proud of you." There's no way I'm letting her bait herself for Geto Suguru. The higher ups needed to stop toying our lives during important times like this. I can't risk my children to be endangered for this jujutsu society. I love them too much to see them die.

"I love you too, Satoru." Her honey voice warmed my leaping heart. I would run to the ends of the world just to make her happy, and I will kill anyone who harms her. She didn't deserve the horrendous upbringing, and I'm happy that I'm the one to save her. I wondered how her life would've been if I was never introduced to her? Or maybe fate will make us meet and fall in love later in life? Well it's better not to know because she birthed a cunning and charming Naozumi and 3 more coming soon.
Ring ring
When I thought I put my phone on silent, it rang loudly in the room as I quickly excused myself. "Sorry! I'll be right back to take this."
"Don't worry about it. I'll be here until you're back." Ena calmly said, shooing me off with a flick of her wrist.
Exiting from the dimmed room, I answered the call. "Hello, it's Gojo Satoru speaking." I wondered who it was calling me at this special time? I know in the sorcerer's group chat, I told everyone not to call me until I was out from the checkup. Nobody should be disturbing my alone time with my pregnant wife. She needed me as I needed her. This pregnancy will be different because I will be there for her 24/7.
"Gojo-sensei," It was Yuta on the phone. It's surprising that he called me and he's back in Japan, but what took me by surprise was the next thing he said to me. "Don't let Ena-sensei go to the meeting alone with the higher ups. They want her dead because she's connected to all these phenomena that's been happening. It doesn't help her case that she's considered the new Nozomi in their eyes nor do they care if she's pregnant. The higher ups want her gone for good."
I felt my blood boiling from this sudden and twisted news. Clenching my teeth, I balled my free hand tightly until my nails dug into my skin. The sharp pain didn't even hurt me at all because my mind was more focused on protecting my wife. She's innocent and has nothing to do with Geto or Sukuna. It just happened that she was born with Nozomi's soul who's now transferred to one of our triplets. "These higher ups are asking for a death wish... I should've killed them when they tried to harm Yuji..." I thought back to when I found out about Yuji's staged death by the higher ups. They would've been in big trouble if two other students were also killed. I shouldn't have been patient with them and waited for the future generation to change the jujutsu world. It's going to take a while because those old bastards have many years until they die-die. "Good work and thanks for telling me this. Be safe out there, Yuta. They will suspect you of betrayal, and I want you to stay out of this too. I don't want anyone to be dragged into this mess. Call or text me for any updates."
The phone call ended, and I didn't know what to do. I can't even have a normal life without the higher ups inserting themselves into our family life. It's hard enough that the higher ups wanted to use Ena as bait, but now they wanted to switch up and kill her? This was too extreme. I'm not going to let them touch my wife or my son if that's the case. I will protect them with my life so they can see another day. Geto Suguru can be dealt with later because the higher ups were the ones to be focused on first. I have to keep my enemy closer.
"Babe, are you done with the call?" Ena popped right beside me as she stared up at me with her starry eyes. I couldn't tell her the breaking news. She can't know about this. "Babe?" She blinked when I caressed her small face with my big hand. My wife has our babies to protect, and her mental well-being should be our first priority. I can't tell her or else she'll stress badly over this.
"Sorry I took so long. I left you alone." I apologized, planting a sweet and soft kiss on her lips. I hoped my love could resolve any issues of my long absence in the room. "Can I see the ultrasound picture?"
"It's fine, Satoru. I was too enthralled by the screen that I forgot about you for a second!" She laughed, lightly hitting my arms then pulled herself close to me. "You can see the pictures once we're home. I want Nao to see it with you so be patient." Ena grinned widely like a little happy child.
My heart ached in agony. Seeing her content expression really hurt me. I really couldn't tell Ena. I'm afraid to ruin this buoyant journey for her. Unfortunately, I can't protect her from the truth for too long. She's going to find out sooner or later if I postpone her meeting with the higher ups. I will figure this out for our growing family; I will kill the higher ups if it comes to that solution. No one was going to take Ena away from me and our son.
Covering my feelings and emotions, I goofed off around her as I held her in my arms. Sniffing her floral scented hair, I gave her another kiss which was on her head this time. "Alright, honey. Let's go get our son!"

Re: Dragonize
After an unexpected turn of events, Drew must now survive in a world full of challenges with life-or-death stakes. Gone are the days when the biggest problems to face were awkward small-talk at physics department luncheons or mountains of lab work; this former physicist is now adrift in an unfamiliar land without any equipment. Now, Drew's only tool (if it can be called that) is a System, which provides constant reminders of all of the things that are still out of reach for a low-level being who's just arrived in a new world. Luckily, Drew has one powerful asset when taking on the challenges of this new world: surviving violent conflict is a lot easier when you have the power of a dragon at your disposal. Still, Drew has always considered violence a last resort. Why turn to fists (or claws) when a bit of quiet consideration might expose a better path forward? Maybe a life of quiet contemplation is still within reach for this former academic researcher. ...Or maybe not. It probably won't be a life of bloodless pacifism. Additional information for those who wish to calibrate their expectations (I'm adding this based on a few comments I received from readers who feel that the story is not what they expected from a dragon-themed story): Re: Dragonize is not a power fantasy -- or at least, it's not intended to be one. Re: Dragonize is a progression fantasy starting with a protagonist who must start at the bottom (or close to it), and work gradually upwards, making incremental progress with plenty of setbacks along the way. The protagonist, as someone coming from the world of academia, tends to be cautious, methodical, and contemplative. As such, expect this story to contain more than a few digressions as the main character takes the time to pontificate on a variety of topics ranging from Newtonian physics and horology to the nature of existence and the ethical dilemmas associated with being an obligate carnivore.
