Chapter 599: The Daily Life Of A Father

[Day 219]

It has been a week since Benladra was born, and many little things had happened, mostly all regarding her. Since my daughter was born that my entire world view completely shifted to hers, and I cannot possibly move away my attention from her.

However, these little surprises were mostly... things that were related with just being a parent. My daughter had been doing three things since she was born, and despite being a reincarnated soul, she still just does these three things and nothing much.

She doesn't seem to look like she looks around in silence while being calculative and then training magic in secret like a reincarnated soul would usually do, nor she's planning our doom, nor she's planning on doing anything evil either, she's just a plain innocent soul, which reinforces my theory that she perished at a very young age.

But... these three things she has been doing, although repetitive, they brought quite the challenge to my daily life, and they were nothing to scoff at!

And those are... Drinking Milk/Eating, Sleeping, Pooping/Peeing...

Yes... It is just the daily life of a father, I guess.

"Drake, change Benladra's diapers, I already did it before..." said Benladann.

"Ugh..." I sighed.

"Come on, I am tired..." sighed Benladann.

"I don't wanna!" I cried.

"Drake! You're the father of Benladra, and we already agreed that we would do it turn by turn," said Benladann.

Today in the morning after breakfast, Benladra already had her diapers filled.

It wasn't hard to make diapers using special dispensable fabric I can create using my Ice Fabric Creation, other skills, and also some magic into them.

These diapers are ultra-absorbent as well!

But the pain is changing them, wash her down there, and then put some new ones.

And we have to do it a few times per day because her digestive system goes very fast, and she likes to eat a lot as well due to her dragon-like appetite.

Which makes her a used diaper-making machine.

Agh, I am not regretting having her, I love her, but... ugh.

Okay, I can't cry about it, I have to get over it.

"Pa... Papa!"

Benladra looked at me with teary eyes, she seemed uncomfortable in her filled diapers.

"Sigh... Alright, let's go change your diapers and wash you down there, alright?" I asked.

"Baabbah...!"

Benladra gave some cute noises as I held her in my arms and walked back to the bathroom.

"Thank you... Phew..." Benladann said, as she rested over the bed once more and fell asleep immediately.

She's just as tired as I am, taking care of a single child is taxing, she has to constantly give her attention and bring her around, so she doesn't get tired.

Sometimes Benladra begins to cry, and we don't even know why she's crying. Using magic to calm her down doesn't work because her scales reflect most of my low-level magic and using high-level magic on her could affect her negatively, so we have to do it the old-fashioned way.

Benladann's parents and Miranda had been helping us a bit, but they're still not the parents, so they always keep a line from middling themselves with our problems, which I dislike... please, come change her diapers instead of me!

But I cannot go around ordering people to do this, I won't let anyone change her diapers other than me... After all it is a privacy thing, my little girl cannot be seen down there by anyone but her parents!

Hm, or maybe I am being a bit overexaggerated? Huh...

I could actually leave this work to slime clones.

But the thing is, whenever I ask them to do this, they all run away.

Bastards! Why are you running away?! You're supposed to do everything I ask you to do!

If I ask you to eat shit, you eat shit!

But they won't listen.

They would feed her, change her clothes, or anything else... but change her diapers seems not to their liking.

Also, Benladra doesn't like being much with other people than with us, she begins to cry when there are too many people around because she feels afraid, and only Miranda and Belle can get closer to her easily, oh, and well, Benladann's parents.

Everyone else has a hard time socializing with this grumpy baby. She's very cute and lovable but she has a lot of mood swings...

"Babahh..."

"Oh, right..."

I had spaced out a bit and Benladra brought me back to reality, as she pulled down my coat.

I brought her inside the bathroom, gently put her over a table, and took out her diapers.

I have gotten used to this view... using magic to clean her won't do due to her scales, so after taking out the diapers and throwing them to the trash, I quickly brough her to the sink and washed her with warm water and a bit of baby soap, specially made with things that don't make irritations in the skin, although her skin is very strong so that might not matter.

After that, I use a soft towel to clean there...

"Ababahhh~"

And Benladra feels anew, I can already tell she's enjoying being washed with warm water and then softly dried with a soft towel... Sigh.

Putting another diaper and then making her wear her dress again and done...

"Done! Good as new... S-So don't poop again until tomorrow, alright?" I asked while kissing her forehead.

"Papapa..." she said, while stretching her little arms towards me, she suddenly hugged my torso.

Aww... My little girl...

Okay, I can bear it, for you, I can bear it!

Her cute glowing gray white eyes, and her adorable and long silvery-white hair, my little girl is really an angel.

She rubbed her face over my chest and seemed quite sleepy.

"Let's go take a nap with mama- Eh?"

"Uguhh...!"

Suddenly, I noticed Benladra doing an expression in her face as if she was pushing...

And then, she calmed down and sighed in relief.

"Hahh~"

I noticed that the weight of her diapers had suddenly increased...

Don't tell me...

Seriously... this girl is really...

Sigh...
