The Cherished Pet of Nine Beast Husbands

Chapter 249 First Time Luck

Edric came in carrying breakfast. "Emma, it's time to eat. The family doctor I called yesterday just arrived. I'll have him come check on you later." When Kieran heard the words "family doctor," he immediately turned to look at Emma. "Ms. Tibarn, didn't you say you weren't sick? Why would you need a family doctor?" Corvin smiled and said to Kieran, "Emma isn't sick. She's pregnant." Kieran froze. He stared at Emma in shock. Ms. Tibarn is pregnant? "Whose baby is it?" he asked. Someone must be really lucky to have a baby this soon. Corvin and Edric both shook their heads. Emma said, "It's still too early to tell. We don't know who the father is yet." When Kieran heard that, his eyes lit up. "Ms. Tibarn, do you want to find out whose baby it is right now?"Corvin, Edric, and Emma all looked at Kieran. Corvin asked quickly, "You have a way to tell?" Kieran nodded. "My clan has a treasure that can tell whose baby it is as soon as the female gets pregnant. Wait here, Ms. Tibarn. I brought it with me. I'll go get it." After saying that, Kieran jumped off the balcony. Soon, he came running back up, dragging a big suitcase behind him. The suitcase was something unique to Aquadome. It was made of special silk from Merfolks and had its own inner space. It could hold a lot of things. It was even more useful than a storage band. Kieran opened the suitcase, and a pile of storage bands spilled out. He looked embarrassed and turned to Emma. "Ms. Tibarn, I had too many things, so I had to pack them like this."The three of them stared at him in disbelief. Seriously, storage inside storage? Did this guy bring everything from Aquadome with him? Kieran rummaged through the suitcase for a while and pulled out something that looked like a bronze mirror, though it wasn't quite the same. Strange symbols were carved across its surface. "Ms. Tibarn, this is made from a special shell found only in Aquadome. You just need to place one of your hairs and your partner's hair on it. Whichever hair connects with yours means the baby belongs to that person. In Aquadome, that's how we tell who the father is." He placed the mirror in front of Emma. Is it really that magical? Emma hesitated for a moment, then pulled out one of her own hairs and placed it on the mirror. Corvin and Edric followed right after, each putting one of their hairs on it too. They were just as curious to find out who the father was.One second passed. Then two. Three seconds. A full minute went by, and the hairs didn't move at all. Emma looked at Kieran. "Are you sure this thing works?" Kieran nodded firmly. "It's accurate. Many therians in the Aquadome have long pregnancies. The females always use this to find out who the father is. It's never been wrong." He looked down at the three unmoving hairs on the surface and said with certainty, "There's only one explanation for this. The father isn't either of them." "Not ours?" Edric and Corvin glanced at each other. Corvin said, "Emma has only mated with me, Edric, and Marcus. If it's not ours, then it must be Marcus'." So the baby belongs to Marcus? Edric and Corvin weren't sure if they felt disappointed or a little amused.When Kieran heard that it was Marcus', his mouth twitched slightly. "It's actually Marcus' baby? Then when the baby's born, it won't be as half-dead as he always looks, right?" Everyone knew about Marcus' reputation across the Four Domains. His baby… Corvin and Edric both thought of Marcus' lazy attitude and couldn't help twitching their mouths too. Emma didn't think much of it. The baby would be Marcus' responsibility anyway. Let a lazy wolf raise a lazy cub. She wanted to see which one would be lazier than the other. Just the thought of it almost made her laugh. After Emma finished breakfast, Corvin, Edric, and Kieran cleaned up and stepped out of her room.Right then, they saw Marcus lying flat on the couch downstairs. He wasn't asleep. He just lay there with his eyes open. Ever since he mated with Emma, he rarely went back to his crystal coffin. Edric and Corvin always assumed that since Lucien wasn't home, Marcus stayed awake to protect Emma and didn't dare spend all day in his coffin anymore. Corvin headed to the kitchen to put things away. As he passed by Marcus, he raised a brow at him. This guy is really lucky. First time, and he already has a baby. And Emma isn't even mad at him. What trick did he use? Marcus noticed Corvin's odd stare and frowned. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Has Corvin lost his mind this early in the morning? What kind of look is that? Corvin saw that Malrik wasn't around and snorted. "I was looking at the couch, not you." It was jealousy. He was jealous of Marcus. Marcus blinked. "Did you take the wrong medicine this morning?" Why is he talking so weird all of a sudden?
