Epic of Caterpillar

Damn, I just didn\'t even know what to say anymore.

I just came here looking for Gaia and the other Titans, maybe met Hydros again…

But I\'m surprised by a whole village of people similar to Hydros.

And I am also told that I have a daughter with her!

Yeah I do remember having sex with Hydros only once, but our relationship never advanced past that.

Actually I\'ve had sex with a couple other girls before, but I never made them my wives, it was just casual sex.

Sometimes, they don\'t like the relationship part, or just don\'t want to bother me and I let them be. I sometimes am also not interested in taking them as wives.

Though, I do care for them…

But I could swear I made sure to not leave them pregnant, the other girls I\'ve had sex, the dragon maids, never got pregnant.

But Hydros did? Was I too drunk or something back then and I didn\'t double check?

Ah, well, this is it now, I just have to accept it.

But dammit, she really hates me!

And I can\'t blame her… I wasn\'t there for her entire life.

She\'s a young adult now and even has a cute baby boy!

I\'m his grandma!

Ah, I want to know more about them…

I love all my children so much, so instantly love her as well, and her beautiful boy.

But seriously, how can I even amend our relationship, if there wasn\'t one to begin with?

I guess only with time… I need to be patient.

At the very least she seems healthy and… happy in here?

This village is nice, and the island as well, a little paradise.

Although it hurts that she hates me…

I\'m happy she\'s healthy and fine.

The meeting between the Titans and the other Gods and Poseidon will be delayed by an hour.

Don\'t worry, time inside the Divine Realm goes super-fast anyways…

But anyways.

"Hydros… We need to talk a lot."

"I know… I\'m so sorry."

She lowered her head apologetically, but I wasn\'t really going to hate her for this or something either way.

She was the mother of my daughter, so I didn\'t really want to hate her.

But I was a bit angry and upset, yeah.

"Do you have a place where we can talk more in privately?"

"Y-Yeah, my tent, follow me."

She led me to the back of the largest tent, there was her room there connected to the other, I could easily hear my daughter, her boy, and her husband that just got here cooking and eating.

Ugh…

"Hydros this isn\'t the best privacy!" I said.

"Ah, but this is my house…" she sighed. "Um, let\'s create a noise proof barrier then."

"Fine," I nodded, waving my hand, as a barrier was formed.

Once that was done, we sat over her large bed to talk.

"Okay, so first, I want to say…" I looked at her big eye, which seemed very upset. "I\'m sorry."

"Eh?" she felt surprised I actually apologized. "W-Why?"

"Because this is actually all my fault…" I said. "I got you pregnant without noticing, even though I always thought I made sure to not… make my seed fertile. I hardly remember that night, maybe I was very drunk. But I\'m very sorry."

"Kireina…" Hydros blushed a bit. "N-No, please, don\'t say such a thing… I… I was dumb, I should be apologizing."

Her beautiful red eye started crying, as her long, silky red hair covered half her face.

"I\'m sorry for not telling you but I was scared of making you upset and giving you more responsibilities… I thought I could handle it alone and well… I-I kind of did but… you had so many kids, and I wasn\'t even comparable to your gorgeous wives, so I thought I just… didn\'t want to tie you to me and force you to make me your wife. It wouldn\'t had been nice and honest."

"Hydros… I mean I would have… of course I would have made you my wife right away, I would have taken responsibility and I want to take responsibility right now too. I just feel really weird that I never could tell. When one of my children is born I usually receive a notification, but how didn\'t I get one?"

"It might be because I didn\'t want to upset you or bother you? I wished it so much, that maybe some sort of connection was broken…"

"Hmm…"

As I was thinking about that, Hydros suddenly moved closer to me.

"Um… Perhaps it has to do with the bloodline? I didn\'t do anything in specific but perhaps my wishes manifested into the bloodline," she explained. "After all I was a Goddess already unlike your other wives who were mortals by that time."

"Right…" I nodded. "Damn Hydros, why did you ever thought I would get upset? I love all my children you know. I would have loved ours just as much as the others. I love her now too, as much as the others. She\'s so beautiful and dazzling, and she looks very smart and strong willed… You\'ve raised her so well, thank you."

"K-Kireina…" she started crying while blushing. "Why are you being so nice with me? I thought you would reprimand me or get a bit angrier? But… I don\'t deserve this kindness after what I did… Sniff…"

"Oh my goodness, maybe you did something wrong but it\'s more of my fault than yours, come here dear," I spread my arms, as Hydros immediately jumped to hug me tightly with her big muscular arms. I remember she had crab-like pincers as a secondary pair of arms, but they\'re gone now, did she took them away to look prettier or something?

"There, there, everything is okay," I caressed her long red hair, looking at her beautiful face and cleaning her big eye\'s tears.

It was going to take time, but I wasn\'t going to give up on this family either.
