EMU 25

“A Gamma being pregnant is extremely dangerous,” the doctor said, clearly flustered and speaking rapidly.

“You know that if a transformed Gamma has a child… the worst could happen. A decision must be made quickly. Very quickly.”

Dominic knew what the doctor was implying. If a transformed Gamma has a child…

Most die.

Dominic already knew. Everyone knew. No matter how they tried to hide it with words like “worst case scenario,” the word “death” couldn’t be concealed.

Transformed, pregnant Gammas usually die.

“Even if the pregnancy could be maintained, the chances of complications during birth are too high. If you don’t terminate now, you need to decide in advance who to choose if life is endangered during delivery.”

Dominic silently looked down at the doctor’s pale face waiting for an answer.

Everything the doctor said was within the expected range. However, there was never any intention of giving up the child, so the birth was already decided. He was well aware of the high risk to Juliet at the final moment.

The only unexpected thing was that a fact he hadn’t realized until now suddenly became reality and hit him.

Juliet will die.

That single sentence slowly, heavily pressed down on his heart. With a very high probability, Juliet would leave this world. It was already miraculous for a transformed Gamma to become pregnant. They likely couldn’t hope for any more miracles.

So then.

That was the doctor’s question.

Would he choose the child, or his partner?

“If we try to save Juliet, are the chances high?”

“Y-yes… Yes?”

Dominic’s voice was no different than usual. The doctor stammered at his calm tone, as if discussing the weather, then quickly cleared his throat. His voice was full of awkwardness.

“Well… Actually that’s not very high either, but if you choose your partner, it’s still better than continuing the pregnancy…”

He trailed off, seemingly finding it difficult to suggest terminating the pregnancy, and averted his gaze. Dominic closed his mouth with a “I see.”

Juliet will die.

Juliet will die.

Juliet will die.

Juliet.

Will die.

For a moment, it felt as if an icy, fierce wave had washed over his entire body.

Ah, so that’s how it is.

Dominic finally understood.

Now he knew why that young man had followed his lover in death.

He could now understand what love is. If this feeling he had for Juliet wasn’t love, then what was it?

Love is another name for obsession. It is a longing for someone that cannot be let go of even in death. I know now. I now know all too well what love is.

Because I too will make the same choice.

“…Let’s do this.”

Dominic slowly opened his mouth. And upon hearing his choice, the doctor was momentarily speechless, but eventually had no choice but to nod.

…The sound of a baby crying can be heard.

Juliet wanted to open his closed eyes, but it wasn’t easy. Had his eyelids always been this heavy? Juliet tried to raise his body somehow. But he couldn’t move a single finger. Swallowing a weak groan, he gasped for breath as a familiar man’s voice reached his ears.

“You’re awake.”

It was the voice he least wanted to hear at this moment. It also told him he was still alive.

“Ugh… ugh…”

Juliet let out a labored groan. Strange. How could there be no strength at all in his entire body? Even turning over was difficult. After straining and quickly becoming exhausted, the man spoke to him as he panted.

“Are you done now?”

It was unclear if the tone was sarcastic or genuinely curious. Juliet, still breathing heavily with his chest heaving, barely managed to open his eyes.

It took a bit more time for his blurry vision to focus. The man gradually came into view in his expanding field of vision. That despicable face he never wanted to see again. He was looking down at Juliet while holding something in his arms.

Juliet’s face slowly hardened, then his whole body began to tremble. Watching his expression of fear, disgust and shock, Dominic opened his mouth.

“Ashley Dominic Miller.”

His voice was full of pride and satisfaction. As Juliet stared blankly at the bundle, still seeming to lack a sense of reality, Dominic leaned in. Inside the bundle Dominic was holding, a small baby was wriggling and crying in a faint voice.

“Look, it’s our child.”

At Dominic’s words, Juliet shifted his dazed eyes to his face. Dominic smiled, narrowing his long eyes.

“You gave birth to it.”

“Ah…”

An strange sound, unclear if it was a groan or sob, escaped Juliet’s lips. Dominic began to giggle. That bizarre laughter he had heard constantly in the basement. That strange, unpleasant, chilling, terrible laughter.

“Ah, ahh…”

Juliet wanted to scream, but all that came out was a feeble, hollow moan. He couldn’t even move a finger, let alone get up. All he could do was lie there and cry. Probably, like this.

For the rest of his life.

“I love you.”

Dominic whispered. Holding the baby, he leaned down and kissed Juliet’s lips. He naturally intertwined their tongues and licked inside Juliet’s mouth, but Juliet was too overwhelmed just trying to breathe to resist. After firmly biting and sucking on his lips, Dominic let out a short sigh and suddenly stood up. He seemed to be turning to leave, but of course that was just Juliet’s wishful thinking. After handing the baby to the guard stationed outside the hospital room, he locked the door and returned to the bed.

For a moment Juliet swallowed in fear, but Dominic casually climbed onto the bed and unbuckled his belt above Juliet’s head. Soon after, Juliet saw him take out his half-erect member.

“It’s okay, Juliet. I won’t use down there since the wound hasn’t healed yet.”

Dominic stroked Juliet’s pale head, creating a rather affectionate voice. Instead, Juliet knew well which part he intended to use. He had already experienced it countless times.

“Ugh, urgh…”

The thick, long member filled his mouth. Muffled, painful groans came from below, but the insertion did not stop.

“Haaah…”

Dominic let out a long sigh of satisfaction. He paused with nearly half of his member in Juliet’s throat.

“So good, you’re the best Juliet…”

Dominic remained still for a moment, as if savoring it. The irregular contractions of the esophagus squeezed his thick member, making his semen rise and inducing ejaculation.

“Yes, I know. I’ll cum like this. I’ll release it all in your throat.”

Dominic continued to whisper. Juliet was half unconscious, but that was no problem for him. After all, Juliet was alive, in his grasp, and could never escape anywhere.

That fact alone was enough for Dominic to reach climax. Again and again.

“I love you.”

Dominic whispered, kissing Juliet’s face covered in his semen.

“We’re together forever now.”

Juliet said nothing. His words were not wrong. No, how could he leave this man? He couldn’t even turn over by himself. Along with him, despair filled Juliet’s heart completely.

I can’t escape.

Long tears flowed, but he couldn’t even wipe them himself. He could only watch as Dominic licked up the tears with his tongue.

I’ll never be able to escape this man for the rest of my life.

He wanted to wail loudly, but that too was impossible. All he could do was cry.

Probably, for the rest of his life.

In this man’s grasp.
