Married for 12 years. There is a reason why I, Ailee Godin, have become a symbol of fertility.

We also used contraception originally. Since it was an important matter that we could not give up, we took oral contraceptives every time we had sex, and on days when our eyes were so passionately locked that there was a very high chance of danger, we even took the morning-after pill after having sex.

However, the principle of birth control pills is to control hormones to prevent sperm from fertilizing an egg, but Lager was the strongest humanoid monster in the universe who had been the main character’s bodyguard, so common sense did not apply to him.

okay.

These are unbelievably tough little guys who were born overcoming the ravages of those hormones!

I wonder what the point of all this protesting is when you’re not using a condom, but it means that you’ve done everything you can.

“But since Layla hates it so much, shouldn’t we give in?”

It’s funny that she came up with this idea after having seventeen children, but it was something that was difficult to give up until the very end.

How could you skip that thrilling moment in the last moments of a relationship, when a large amniotic fluid that had been moving around in your stomach enters deeply and makes you flinch loudly, while at the same time, a hot, slippery liquid fills you up completely?

To put it in simple terms, it’s like hitting your daughter right before you squirt, then stopping and just wiping the Cooper fluid and you’re done.

There will be many who will say that this is not the time for wise men.

That’s right.

Sex without a condom is half-assed sex.

“Ale, I think it’s time to practice now.”

“How to do it with a condom?”

“Yeah. We used to do well.”

It’s already been 10 years. I don’t even remember how I did it.

But Lager had a point. He couldn’t ask Laila to help with childcare forever.

“Honey.”

“It’s been a long time since I called you that.”

Lager smiled happily and looked at me intently.

honey.

I really liked that word too.

It was a magical word that brought us closer together and was much more emotional than calling someone “dad.”

─Honey, honey, ah, ah, oh my, extreme, eueung…!!

… The usage is a bit strange, but anyway, ‘honey’ is a good word.

“Honey, let’s do another vasectomy.”

It’s a good word to ask for this or that.

“Huh? That doesn’t work.”

“This time, I’m going to get sterilization surgery too.”

“What?!”

Layla wakes up again to the loud noise from Lager and sneaks out to take a look.

“Mom and Dad, are you fighting?”

Since we weren’t really fighting, we naturally calmed Layla down by acting harmonious.

“Ugh, no. Layla, you should go and sleep quickly.”

“Mom and Dad need to be united, so the princess needs to hurry… .”

“Hey, come on!”

“Oh, that’s what I’m saying.”

In the midst of all this, watching us bickering, Layla yawned and turned around.

“You didn’t fight.”

It seems like they have to fight to seem at peace.

“Mom and Dad, go to sleep quickly. Don’t do anything weird… .”

The sight of Layla’s back as she leaves the room, saying meaningful words, is creepy.

I waited for Layla to come in and then asked Lager quietly.

“… You seem to know?”

“One hundred percent.”

“We shouldn’t use the word ‘combination’ anymore.”

“These days, kids are maturing early.”

“That’s right. It’s scary.”

The important thing wasn’t that Layla was maturing, but that we couldn’t be so immature anymore.

“Let’s do everything we can. Because Layla is having a hard time. We can’t just be greedy forever.”

“Yeah, honey, I think you’re right.”

“If you both get the surgery and use condoms, you will never have children, right?”

“If you go that far to have a child, then you should have one.”

Although the last words were ominous, Lager agreed with my thoughts anyway. Although I wonder if it means anything since my body’s resilience surpasses Lager’s.

Still, I’ll try what I can.

But the grand plan was blocked by an unexpected problem.

“Ale. But women need to be put under general anesthesia to get sterilization surgery. Who will take care of all those kids while they recover?”

That was the problem. I already had many children in kindergarten or daycare, but the problem was the quadruplets I had recently given birth to. I couldn’t leave them with anyone else.

Kate, my obstetrician and gynecologist who has been treating me for over 10 years, held my hand with a serious look on her face and advised me.

“Ale, stop having sex now.”

Is this something to be said so gravely?

“Are you really planning on making a baseball team?”

“My husband wants to make it… .”

“Do you do everything your husband tells you to do?”

“No, not necessarily… .”

Kate sighed deeply and shook her head.

“There is nothing we can do medically right now. Your recovery power is amazing, but you just gave birth. As a doctor, I can’t accept you lying on the operating table again.”

There’s nothing I can do if you talk like this. The doctor’s opinion is one thing, but it’s also true that seeing the children is the priority right now, so we decided to put off the bilateral surgery for the time being.

Maybe that’s why our daily lives have become a little strange.

“Wow, … No. Layla’s dad! Give me some laundry! ”

“Hey, Jane’s mom. There’s no toilet paper here?”

Thinking that I couldn’t disappoint Layla any longer, I unconsciously started to feel sorry for her!

We used to be very physical in front of the kids, like hugging each other’s shoulders or giving each other affectionate kisses, but now we just try to brush past each other.

“Oh, sorry.”

“Oh my, I almost touched it.”

“Be careful.”

“Yeah.”

A man and a woman on a blind date for the first time were cautious about their actions, flinching as if their hands were brushing against each other while picking up something.

Layla also thought this was a bit suspicious, so one day while we were eating, she asked us:

“Mom and Dad, did you really fight?”

He is truly a quick-witted kid in many ways.

”Hey, what are you fighting about? Right, Layla’s mom?”

“Then. How close are we? Jake’s dad and mom are a match made in heaven~”

Even though I was trying to act affectionate, Layla furrowed her eyebrows as if she found it even more suspicious, and pushed back her long, platinum blonde hair that looked just like mine.

“This is strange. This is where the fight should have started.”

A quick-witted kid like you… . Oh, this is not it.

In fact, what Leila said was right. The reason why they are so extremely wary of each other is related to ‘contraception’.

We still love each other so much.

They still want each other so much that just brushing their bodies together could set them on fire.

So what are the special measures to avoid having any more children?

It’s about going in and out without colliding!

But it was difficult to explain that fact in detail, so I tried to just tell Layla that something had happened between her mom and dad.

“Mom, but did you know I have a school trip tomorrow?”

“What, huh?”

“Ugh, anyway, Mom only knows Dad. What can I do but understand?”

She’s all grown up. Is this how I feel when my married daughter comes home and nags me about this and that?

“Anyway, help us pack. Jane, Jake, and Rachel have to go too, so I can help Rachel, but Jane and Jake need your help.”

Layla’s words, flowing out in an adult-like manner, go in one ear and out the other.

The kids… aren’t there?

So, is this a chance?

No, is it a crisis?
