Chapter 277: It's Time (4)

Leilah POV

Hmm, that's not something I know that exists within my realm of knowledge, gods, and beings like me are born with a certain understanding of our power, and beings like the gods should understand how the world works more than anyone.

And the ability to reincarnate across different worlds and dimensions...that would be possible if their old one is destroyed and hostile to life...but...

"I really want to give you a helpful answer, but even I didn't anticipate a situation like this ever happening. You're supposed to be the only reincarnated soul from that world."

"When that guy say that he hoped for us to be brothers in some other life, I didn't think he'd take it literally."

"Well, it could just be a coincidence."

"Yes, a coincidence." he repeated in a sarcastic tone, "My life is just full of coincidences."

"I mean, it is, what are the chances that Lilith meeting you and get recognized by Maple? And now, we're dating you."

"Hah." he sighs, "Can you at least think of any possibility of why it could happen?"

"Like I said, a coincidence. His soul somehow reincarnate as my future brother-in-law, and he then ended up being adopted into your family due to an unfortunate circumstance, and even though he would have probably never experienced anything like what he did, the only probable cause I can think of is one.

"And it's due to your power given to you by him, with his soul and his power existing within the same universe, it probably triggered some sort of reaction, but other than that, I got nothing."

"It's alright, you did good. Just disable all this tonight, we'll just rest and see how tomorrow goes." he instructed.

"What will you do about Vince if he is the reincarnated soul of your old friend?"

"I don't know, Lucifer needed rest, and I'd rather he live just as Vincent Silver instead of a man with 2 identities stuck in one body. It's better for him to not remember, having a conflicted identity crisis isn't good for his health, but I doubt that he won't experience it again when I try to charge the machine up."

"Hmmm, rest does sound good, we need a refreshed mind to think of a proper solution to solve that issue with Vince."

"Has everyone now picked up on my habit of calling him Vince instead?" He asked.

"I'm surprised you only gave him a nickname."

"Well, Leilah doesn't open up to any good nicknames, Lilith can, I can call her Lily, but she'd probably smack me."

"If you 2 have a daughter, you should name her Lily."

"Didn't she like resent you for a bit cuz she was named after you? Why would she want to subject her daughter to a similar experience? It's why she cut her hair short and wears more boyish clothes with us, apart from her time with her fake general identity, she wears normal feminine clothes like a dress."

"Right, I really am a terrible older sister, I can't believe that I forgot about that."

Lilith...to this day, I am a bit ashamed to not have recognized her when we met again, if it weren't for Maple, we definitely would have remained as distant strangers, i know that I don't remember about my god siblings much since I spent very less time with them, but that's just embarrassing and terrible on my part.

*****

We called healer Beek and hired him to watch over Vince for the night while the rest of us rested, Lilith arrived later that night wearing one of Perseus' baggy jackets and one of his shorts.

"You're not wearing anything underneath the jacket."

"How'd you notice?" she asked as she also got in bed, even though I know that he has no plan on sleeping tonight as she is now reading Trevor's diary that she borrowed from Perseus.

"I always notice it when a woman is trying to seduce him."

"Buddy, let's just sleep, we already know how weird these 2 are." Perseus said to the fox who nodded in response, "One likes wearing nothing underneath in public while the other is a crazy possessive...lovely woman, we're the only sane ones."

Sane, yes, if only you were. It didn't take long for them both to sleep and give the rest of us time to talk alone.

"You should spend some more time with Orion, look at Maple and Ivy, aren't you a bit jealous or envious at how close they are?"

"I would be lying to say that I'm not." she replied, "But as I said, the idea of being pregnant and going through labor scares me more. If you don't mind being a surrogate mother, I'll think about having children of my own."

"No thank you, we're already sharing a guy, similar looks, and a similar name, we should also be responsible for caring for our own children."

"Hey, I promised that I would treat your children as my own when they're born, and you promised to do the same, why can't you give birth to our shared children?"

"I can if you're unhealthy, but you're healthier than me. Besides, what does this have to do with you not talking with Orion?"

"I do talk with him sometimes...good guy, obedient and responsible, an ideal child to have, he doesn't seem hard to raise. But I'll deal with him if I have him."

"If it was me, I would have done everything to know more about him, I've been with this guy for more than a decade, and yet I see his children with other women first, and not only that, he now has a couples' ring with Ruka."

"So you're just envious?"

"Of course I am!"

"You got large breasts and a nice ass, you have no reason to be envious of others."

"Ruka got me beat in both categories, she's bigger than our own mother!"

"Fair, but we're straying from the main point here. But fine, I'll try to talk and bond with him tomorrow if it makes you happy, sis."
