Chapter 1: Christmas Date & Surprise!
I pull out my phone to check on the time to make sure I'm not late for my date.
Mission Special: Fa-la-la-la Love!
Make your Christmas date memorable with your special lady! There is no reward or punishment! Just have fun! Happy Holidays!
That's nice I guess? I always have mixed feelings about this thing. It has caused me to be dragged into the supernatural world and go through multiple situations that I was certain I was just fuck! But… at the same time I'm grateful for it. I doubt I would ever meet any of the girls I fell in love without it.
"HEY! There you are! I've been looking all over for you!"
I look up towards an all too familiar voice to see Mittelt, my first girlfriend and wife of five years, flying down with her ten black wings. Not many people really cared much about the flying girl as over the last few years the supernatural became a very well known thing to the human world. Hell, I heard many people starting relationships with members of the supernatural. Like that Oni man and human woman couple I just saw a few minutes ago.
"Sorry for being late! Sona kept asking me if I could help with a special lesson about cooperation with different races and she wanted me to be one of the special guests." Mittelt said to me, pulling her wings back into her back as soon she reached the ground.
Mittelt is wearing black jacket with a navy blue skirt with a pair of black leggings and her black shoes that she loves to wear. She's also wearing a simple red scarf with white ends and a pair of matching gloves. Despite her graduating from High School she still looks the same, might be that supernatural gene.
"It's cool. I know how Sona is when it comes to her lesson plans. I still remember how she basically made me the rune teacher for a year until Rossweisse took over." I said as I took Mittelt's hand into my own.
"But man, to think my first ever girlfriend would not be human." I said with a smirk.
"You're the one who can't believe this happened? I'm the one who should be surprised, before you I always thought humans akin to lemmings. But here I am, married to a human, leader of a harem, and that human ending up being the ideal of human determination by fusing magic and science to improve on human magical arts, which everyone thought was impossible." Mittelt said.
"I'm still shocked about that. I would never have thought that any of the tech that supernatural used was made out of entirely different materials or no human thought of checking the chemical makeup of a mandrake root." I said, sometimes DxD is still weird even when I tried making sense of it.
"How about the fact you thought I was three-hundred when you learned that I'm a fallen? Or are you going to pretend that never happened?" Mittlet said, reminding me of one embarrassing moment.
"You're never going to let me live that down. I'm sorry for getting your age wrong, I thought that with you being a fallen angel you must have been around since the dawn of time! I never thought you would be fifthteen at the time!" I exclaim. I really would never have thought that Mittelt is closer to my age with how old Raynare is but I guess that's on me.
"But this is nice. It has been a while since it's only the two of us. Don't get me wrong, I love the girls and the fun we have but there's something special about it being just you and me." Mittelt said, causing me to flinch at the comment.
It's true that having a harem makes it harder to have any one-on-one time with any girl, especially with a harem the size of mine. All I can do is try to make sure the girls are happy and plan to give them some one-on-one time whenever I can. It's not much but it's the best I can do.
"Enough about the harem talk, this is your time. Plus I have been looking forward to this too, though I'm surprised that the others were so ok with you having tonight. I remember Asia and Yuya talking about how they were hoping to be one to get the Christmas Eve date to suddenly saying that you can have it with no fight." I said. Another problem with a harem is the infighting among the girls when it comes to what day they want the date. The Halloween date was a crazy day.
"So, you said you have something since it was me. What is the surprise?" Mittelt asked.
"Oh, you'll find out~" I said with a smirk. It was a pain to do what I had planned but it will be worth it to see Mittelt's face.
We walk and talk about some minor stuff: like which movies and games that are coming out that we're excited about, new things coming from our workplace, and our plans for a vacation because we're all overdue for one.
Soon enough we reached the main place of our date. A special place to both of us.
"Wait, we're eating at Starlights?" Mittelt asked.
"Yeah, I wanted to relive our first date so I thought of getting a table here and yes. I actually got us a table with luck this time." I said. Am I being cheesy? Yes, but I truly wanted to do this.
I feel Mittlet's hand squeeze my hand a bit tighter at my statement. I look down at my wife to see her having a slight blush on her face as she looks at the restaurant, no doubt remembering the moment that changed both of lives.
"I guess that isn't a bad thing. Though the clueless you was fun to tease I won't be against a repeat with the current you. There are also some dishes that I haven't had here yet." Mittelt said with a little bit of drool coming out at the thought of food.
Also, there were things you didn't order last time?! You ordered all the meat and dessert dishes they had last time. Maybe they might have something different as this was the holidays after all.
We entered the restaurant to see the same waiter all those years ago, but with some of his hair starting to gray. I gave him the reservation number and after he checked to make sure the facts were straight, he led us to the special Christmas theme room. I was tempted to get the Rose Garden room from our first date but the Christmas one is only open on Christmas Eve, making it a very high demand room. Luckily I ordered it as soon as it was open, I was planning to give it to Vali and his girlfriend at first but as soon I heard Mittelt will be my Christmas date the opportunity was too good to pass up.
The Christmas Room is a Log cabin with a fireplace, a Christmas tree, and a large glass door with duo doors to give a view to look over a winter wonderland of snow covered ground, trees, and a frozen lake with all those trees having lights around them. The table in the center of the room is also log cabin themed with a bottle of champagne in a bucket of ice.
As Mittelt takes off her jacket to reveal the maroon sweater hidden underneath it, I pop open the bottle of champagne and fill up the two tulip glasses. Oddly enough Mittlet took a pass on the drink, while we don't really drink all that much, we do enjoy a glass or two every now and again. Then again, I plan for us to go to the movies to watch the release of a classic Christmas movie and going in drunk isn't the best idea so maybe she's just thinking about it. I'll do the same after my glass, it's a shame the champagne will go to waste, but it doesn't really matter.
Another odd thing was Mittelt being really picky with what she's ordering, which is unusual as she basically eats anything she wants. She's even being picky with her drink, going with some decaffeinated green tea. Our first meal arrived with mine being a simple chicken with a side of mixed vegetables and steamed broccoli and Mittelt having turkey, some mixed vegetables of her own. I also noticed another thing.
The amount of food is way smaller than normal, normally Mittelt would eat around ten meals at least but now she's only having three with one dessert. Chicken, turkey, and salmon and all with large amounts of steamed vegetables. Mittlet likes sweets and meats way more than vegetables but now there are more vegetables than anything. Her pick in dessert is also weird with it being a gelato because I remembered from our first date how much she loved their ice cream. So, why get a gelato of all things?
We continue to finish our meals and leave the waiter with the payment for the meal and a large tip. But I can't ignore this feeling. This should've been the perfect set up for a date. So why is it going like this?! Maybe the movie would help. Mittelt could just have been saving room for the movie treats, that makes sense. Not really, but it was better than nothing. You would think after mastering the system and getting a harem I would be a master at relationships but I'm still clueless when it comes to girls!
As we walked towards the movies I thought maybe I should ask her if something was wrong. "Hey Mittelt, is everything ok? You didn't have much of an appetite at the restaurant." I asked.
"Hmm? Oh, I'm fine. It's just… I've been looking forward to this date and I got nervous about it being only just us after so long." Mittelt said with a small smile. Sadly, I think there is way more than what she said but I'm not going to push it. I trust her to come out about it on her own. I learned that the most important parts of a relationship is communication and trust, so I will keep it true.
I did plan to go to the arcade we went to on our first date but sadly it was closed for the holidays so that's why I plan for the movies, plus it shows a bunch of classic movies with Christmas settings. It even has movies from overseas like Die Hard and Home Alone. "Which movie do you want to see? I'm cool with anything." I said to Mittelt.
"How about this?" Mittelt asks, pointing at the double feature claymation movies of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Santa Claus is Comin' to Town. I'm ok with them, but Mittelt does prefer her movies with a bit more action so her picking it over movies like Die Hard and Gremlins was a bit weird. She really is acting strange tonight.
I can't even focus on the movie with how I'm feeling. Mittelt only got a small popcorn with no butter and a small drink. Mittelt said she's fine but is she really? I want to ask her, to help her, with any issues she has! I always hate these feelings of weakness.
Wait… Could I have done something wrong? No, we haven't fought over anything as of late. If anything Mittelt and my relationship is strong, hell our relationship with the other girls are as well! Did I miss something special she did? I know she hasn't been to the salon lately so it isn't her getting a haircut or anything. Could it be that I'm being too cliche with the whole reliving our first date theme? No, she was happy when she saw Starlights. The one time I wish the system gave me dialog options!
"Ren! Are you ok!? The movie is already over."
I feel Mittelt shaking my arm, snapping me out of my self-trance. I turn towards her to see her worrying face. Damn… this date is meant to something special and here I am, fucking it up.
"Sorry, I'm fine. I just have a lot on my mind right now." I said, hoping to relieve her worries. I should just enjoy the date, no more worrying about some pointless stuff! Plus, I still have my secret weapon for the date, the lights! Japan knows how to set up a great looking date spot during Christmas with how they light up all the trees and the massive Christmas Tree in the middle of the square. I'm certain that's impossible to fuck up!
"Come on! There's one last place for our date and I think you will like it!" I said, pulling Mittelt towards the square to look at the lights. Fortunately for us the distance wasn't far from the movie theater. Just a short walk away and this date will be great!
We reached the square where other couples are also going on their own date. We slow our walking speed to enjoy all the lights and the special Christmas light setups like how one has the design to look like a short show with how the image changes with the lights changes colors.
"Wow, sometimes how many great things humans have done over their lives. Maybe I would've never noticed this if I'd never met you." Mittelt said as stop to look at the main Christmas tree.
"If anyone here should be grateful it would be me. You're protected me countless times, stood by me when I'm down, supported me when I was doing something everyone called impossible, and showed me, as someone who has no power to fight, could stand by you and the others. You agreed to be my wife. You make me want to be better and for that I'll be forever grateful." I said.
"10!"
I hear a crowd yelling all around us. Ten what?
"9!"
A countdown? I pull out my phone to see the time and yes, it's almost midnight. It's almost Christmas Day.
"8!"
"Ren…"
"7!"
I turn to Mittelt to see her face having a mixture of emotions. Happiness, nervousness, love, joy, … and fear.
"6!"
"I do have something on my mind… something that I'm afraid to tell you. Because it will change everything about our relationship and I'm afraid about how you will react." Mittelt said, stating what has been plaguing me since the restaurant.
"5!"
"Mittelt, nothing you can tell could affect our marriage. I love you and I know you love me. Whatever is worrying you, you can know I will be with you every step of the way." I said, but I heard her mumble something along the lines 'doubtful'.
"4!"
"It's about your… present." Mittelt said.
Wha?
"Mittelt, I will love whatever you got me. It can be something as ridiculous as some weird ass anime figure and I would still love it." I said. Really? My present? Sure, I didn't ask for anything this year but I remembered how Bikou gave me a copy of Journey of the West signed by him. I'm a simple guy, I'm just happy with the fact people are willing to spend their hard earned money on a gift for me because they value me as a good enough friend to do so.
"3!"
"Are you sure? This present is… a pretty big one." Mittelt said, looking away from me for a second.
"Mittelt, I'm positive that whatever it's I will love it. So, is it at home?" I asked.
"No… I have it with me." Mittelt says as she looks down at her shoes.
With her? But outside of her purse she has no bags and I doubt it's a gift card.
"Mittelt, if it worries you that much you can give it to me now and you'll see how much I love it." I offer. It's probably the best way to deal with this.
"Really? I was planning to tell you tomorrow but it is almost Christmas. Alright! I'll give it to you now! Just… close your eyes and give me your hand." Mittelt demanded to which I nod, give her my hand, and close my eyes.
"2!"
"You better not open your eyes!" Mittelt said.
What could this present be to cause this much stress? Soon enough I feel Mittelt pulling my arm towards something.
"1!"
I feel something through my gloved hand, something soft and… padded?
"Ok… you can open them." Mittelt said in a meek tone that is unfitting for her.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS!"
I open my eyes to see my hand resting on… Mittelt's stomach?
"It's… nice?" I question, how am I supposed to react to this?
"... Do you even understand what this means?!" Mittelt yells with a glare.
"Sorry! Give me a moment to think about what it means!" I ask.
"I swear, for someone so smart you can also be so stupid." Mittelt said as she ran her fingers through her hair.
Ok, guess I have to do some detective work here. Alright, so it's something relating to her stomach. I doubt it's about sex as Mittelt knows very well how to get that engine running. I know she isn't giving me the clothes on her back. Maybe it isn't the stomach but around it? But I doubt she is giving me a literal organ. I know it was the reason why she was acting so weird. She's picky with food and drinks, only watched the calmest movie in the theater, and now her stomach. Damn it, none of this is making any sen-!
Wait…
There was one thing that could explain it all.
"It's not about your stomach, is it?" I ask, to which Mittelt gives me the brightest smile, her face gaining a beautiful blush, and her blue eyes welling up with tears.
"Merry Christmas Ren! You're going to be a Papa!" Mittelt said as she jump in to hug me.
…
… I'm going to be a dad?
I'm going to be a dad.
I'M GOING TO BE A DAD!
"I'M GOING TO BE A DAD!" I yell as I pick up Mittelt, spinning around in place. As soon as I let her down I grab a young man, around highschool age with pink hair with some weird hair pins that look like antennas. "I'M GOING TO BE A DAD!" I yell, shocking the man.
"Congratulations, now let me go." the young man said, odd I could have sworn that he never opened his mouth. Screw it, I AM GOING TO BE A DAD!
… I am going to be a dad.
OH SHIT! I'M GOING TO BE A DAD!
"REN!" I hear Mittelt yell as the sea of lights somehow turned into a sea of stars. My vision is slowly being clouded by black clouds.
THE END!
Author's note:
Yes, this is a special type of fic about Ren and his girls enjoying the holidays. Some will be more on the warm and fluffy side while others will be more steamy. But since these are only based on holidays so this won't get updated that offen. Hopefully you all enjoy this part despite it being on the short side, see you all for the Christmas smut! Later!
