While Leviathan and his allies were preparing for the incoming showdown against the invaders, Ethan was floating in space.
This was very different from the tis he experienced Astral Projection. With the latter, he still had a level of control.
But now, he could do nothing but follow the power of a mysterious current leading him toward the void.
For so reason, the young man didn't feel anxious or fearful.
Deep inside him, he understood that he was safe, and this was just a process that he needed to see through until the end.
As such, he didn't resist as he floated to the void, which swallowed him whole.
Suddenly, the sound of a baby's cry reached Ethan's ears.
The young man looked in the direction where the sound was coming from. There, he saw a projection of Chloe holding a baby in her arms.
This was Ethan's first ti seeing a newborn, and he wondered why they looked so small and wrinkly.
But the look of happiness on Chloe's exhausted face made his heart skip a beat.
He watched as she lovingly kissed the baby's wrinkled cheek, which made him feel a bit jealous.
The love in her eyes was evident, and she was holding the baby in her arms as if it were the most fragile yet greatest treasure in the world.
She then gazed at Ethan and smiled sweetly.
"I guess we're having a daughter first, Ethan," Chloe said with a smile. "Are we going to give her the na we decided together?"
"Of course," Ethan appeared in the projection and sat beside the bed, after which he hugged his wife while looking at his daughter with love.
"Grace," Chloe said softly. "Grow up strong and healthy."
Ethan watched as the scene vanished, replaced by another one.
This ti, a boy who seed to be around three to four years old lay on the floor, scribbling on sothing using a crayon.
On the paper was a drawing of stick people holding each other's hands.
Two of them were big, while one was small.
The two big stick people were holding the hands of the little stick person, as if taking a stroll together as a family.
"Very good," a beautiful lady with shoulder length hair appeared and praised the little boy. The boy imdiately stood up and hugged his mother, as if asking to be pampered.
Luna bent down to kiss his chubby cheeks and lightly brushed his short blue hair.
Ethan appeared on the scene and picked up the drawing that his son had made, making him smile.
"Let's take a stroll in the garden," Ethan said with a smile.
Luna nodded in agreent, and together, they walked side by side, holding the hand of their son, who was very happy to spend so ti with his parents.
The scene changed again, and this ti, Joanne appeared, sitting on a swing and holding a sleeping baby in her arms.
She looked as if she was around eighteen to nineteen years old, and her beauty was further enhanced by her growth.
Joanne humd a lullaby, which might have been the reason why the baby was sleeping peacefully.
"So here you are," Ethan said, as he walked up to his sister.
Joanne glared at her brother as if telling him to not be too loud, or else the baby was going to wake up.
Seeing how overprotective she was of the baby in her arms, Ethan could only scratch his head helplessly.
Another beautiful lady appeared on the scene, giggling at Ethan's current expression.
She then crouched down in front of Joanne and kissed the cheek of the sleeping baby girl, whom she had asked Joanne to look after while she and Ethan handled a few things for the family.
The beautiful lady was none other than Ramona, who was now in her early twenties. But since she was a Half-Elf, she didn't change much and still looked like a teenager. "Don't worry. In the future, you'll have a baby too," Ramona said.
"I know," Joanne replied. "But for the ti being, your baby is also my baby, okay?"
"Okay." Ramona nodded.
This scene lasted for a few more seconds before changing to another scene.
This ti, Samantha and Ethan laid on the bed together.
Between them was a five-year-old girl, sleeping soundly as she used her Papa as her hug pillow.
Funnily enough, Samantha was hugging the little girl from behind, using her daughter as her own hug pillow.
Ethan couldn't help but chuckle after seeing this scene. His daughter was like a koala sticking to him, with her arms and feet draped over his body.
Similar to Ethan, the five-year-old had long blue hair. However, her features greatly resembled those of Samantha more than those of Ethan.
Still, seeing this scene made Ethan feel sothing warm spread inside his chest.
After Samantha's projection faded, a cute three-year-old girl with chubby cheeks appeared in
the projection.
She had her arms crossed over her chest, looking at Ethan with a grumpy look on her adorable
face.
"Co on, Noelle," Ethan said. "Say Daddy."
The little girl clicked her tongue and averted her gaze.
Clearly, she was not pleased at the prospect of calling her father, Daddy.
However, Ethan wasn't soone who gave up easily.
Hugging the little girl from behind, Ethan kissed her chubby cheeks repeatedly, making the little girl cry out in alarm.
"This is bullying!" the little girl complained, but it seed that she was unable to do anything at this point in ti except to pound Ethan's face with her little chubby fists.
However, the only thing that it did was make Ethan feel ticklish due to the disparity in strength between the two of them.
"I won't stop until you call Daddy," Ethan smirked.
A soft chuckle spread inside the room as a lady with long pink hair pried Ethan's hand away from the little girl, hugging her close to her.
"How can you bully your own daughter?" Nicole reprimanded the young man as she tried to calm Noelle down. "But Noelle, you should stop calling your father, you or Ethan. Just call
him Daddy, okay?"
"I don't want to," the little girl, who didn't mind being pampered by Nicole, pouted. "He's
bullying ."
"Then I'll stop bullying you if you call Daddy even once, deal?" Ethan said with a smile. The little girl turned her head to look at him before lowering her gaze, as if feeling embarrassed.
"Daddy," Noelle said, making Ethan reach out to hug his wife and daughter with a smug look
on his face.
This ti, Noelle no longer resisted, letting her father and mother hold her in a loving
embrace.
Ethan, who was watching this scene, gave the Ethan on the projection a thumbs up in his
heart.
"I think I might have a baby fever after this," Ethan muttered.
After seeing such scenes, it was impossible for him to not feel his heart lting as he watched
these heartwarming scenes.
However, another projection appeared, and this ti, the corner of his lips twitched because
of what appeared in his vision.
"Zach, I ca to see you," a cute girl with short pink hair said as she deftly entered the playpen to pick up one of the twin boys, who even reached out his hand to her.
"Zayne, I have co to play with you too~" another pink-haired girl picked up the second
baby, who had tried to crawl away from her.
Unlike his twin brother, who allowed himself to be captured, the older one between the two twin boys sensed that he was in danger and tried to escape.
Unfortunately, he was still a baby and no match for the cute, pink-haired girl, who picked him up before giving his chubby cheeks a kiss.
Ethan, who saw his future sons getting cradle-snatched in front of his very eyes, didn't know if he should be impressed or concerned due to the lack of security in their ho.
'I better ensure that no one can freely enter our ho without permission,' Ethan thought as
he watched the two little girls easily infiltrate the playroom and start calling the two toddlers
their husbands.
