Part 8 is here. Here are our reviews. MarcoSketcher is up first.

Well this is really surprising.

The name of the chapter goes with how Freya feels, the good thing is that she has Ottar, the bad thing is that Ottar will have to sleep with his eye open if the rest of the Family finds out what happened and if that succeeded then... Well, it's pretty clear what's going to happen.

The twist of the chapter is that the mother of Bete's son is Lili... What? How? When did this happen?! But more importantly, where has the baby been all this time?! And if the only answer those two give is "We were fucking drunk that night" then I'm going to believe that alcohol is the cause of a lot of this stuff and I'm going to laugh out loud.

Indeed. I'll explain how she's his mother in this chapter. Next up we have Kingkdiamond:

Wow some very amazing plot twists.

Agreed , some pretty crazy ones. Thank you.

Also on a side note. Do you think Bell could be in Multiversus? I mean Warner Bros does own the anime of Is It Wrong to Try to Pick up Girls in a Dungeon. So who knows? What do you guys think?

Alright, let's begin.

Lili just stood there standing still. As her face seemed slightly nervous.

"Lili. You need to explain." Bell said as he scratched the back of his head.

"W-explain what?" Lili asked sternly as she raised an eyebrow.

"You know." Hestia pointed at Bete and the child he had in his hands. "Bete and the rest of the Loki Familia think that you're the mother of his baby."

"We used magic and we looked more into it." Finne explained holding a paper in his hands. "It essentially confirms it."

"I know you are." Bete stated quietly. Different for him to speak quietly. "I couldn't remember at first. But now I think I do."

"Oh now you figure it out." Lili said as she walked to them and sat next to Bete. Looking at the werewolf right in the eye.

"Ahh so you are the mom." Loki gave a sly smile. "Why don't you two tell us what happened?"

"For once this time I agree with Loki." Hestia yawned as Loki shot a quick glare at the goddess. "Both if you explain, right now."

"Fine. Yes I'm the mother." Lili started. "We um..basically nine months ago is when it happened. We that party, and Bete sort of got drunk. And I wasn't drunk at all. So I walked him back home and he kept yelling at me. And then we..did it. And that's how it happened."

The others in the room were skeptical. The story sounded a little believable but also sounded like a lie. And Bete believed it was.

"THAT'S A LIE AND YOU KNOW IT!" Bete exclaimed as he yelled at her. Which caused both of them to glare at each other.

"Care to prove me wrong?!" Lili yelled back at him.

"Yes I do!" Bete said as he sat his sat down on the couch. "That night we both got drunk! We could barely go anywhere so we decided to stay at a hotel for the night." Bete explained to Lili and everyone else. "Then we started arguing about the bed and we both slept in it. That's how I remember it."

Everyone was silent for a few seconds. As Bete's story sounded slightly more believable then Lili's. But the real question is which argument did the others in the room believe?

"I see." Finne put his finger to his chin. "So it was an accident."

Bete nodded. "Yeah. Guess so."

But Lili wasn't completely satisfied as she started up another argument.

"Actually, I think you left something out." Lili claimed as she tried to act slightly innocent until she yelled again. "YOU LEFT OUT WHAT I HAD TO GO THROUGH!!"

"I don't know what you went through!!" Bete exclaimed at her as he grit his teeth. "We both did it not just one of us!"

"I'm not talking about that night we got drunk and had sex I'm talking about after!!" Lili stood up. "I HAD TO GO THROUGH PREGNANCY!!!"

"N-now. Maybe the both of you should just calm down-" Bell was ignored as both the Werewolf and the Pallum continued their argument.

"Pregnancy was the worst!!" Lili yelled as she stomped her foot on the floor. "I was throwing up all the time, I always felt like bloated crap, oh right. Did I forget to mention that I was pretty much disguising my pregnancy with magic? So no one would see?"

That's when Bell and Hestia stood up.

"Wait, is that why we didn't find out?" Bell asked. "You used disguise magic?"

"Of course I did!" Lili threw her hands up. "I used it to disguise my growing stomach because I worried about what would happen!"

"Then why didn't you tell anyone?" Hestia asked putting her hands on her hips.

"Do you think I wanted to be a lonely mother?" Lili turned and look at Hestia. "If I told Bete then he'd leave me!"

"How can you say that without knowing it?!" Bete asked. "Am I that much at a jerk?"

"Yeah! Kind of!" Lili glared back at him. The others around them were getting sick of the arguing. "We weren't even dating because this was an acc-"

"Alright already!" Loki exclaimed as she groaned. "Quit yapping and get back to the point! What happened next?"

"Fine. Sorry." Lili apologized.

"Yeah, you're right." Bete let out a sigh.

"So I concealed it for nine months. Then I found out that I was in labor while on a walk. So I used more magic to make myself seem like a different person." Lili told everyone. "Then I got to a nearby hospital as fast as I could. Then I gave birth." Lilicruna shivered as she mentioned that part. "It was so painful, and it still hurts."

That caused confusion across the room.

"Wait. You are still in pain from giving birth? And you've stated that it is has been nine months since this incident." Finne was recapping some of the things that Lili had said. "When was the birth exactly?"

"Yeah when was it? Bete and Riveria told us that Bete's kid here was left on the front of our place last night." Loki pointed at the boy. Who was just looking at his mother and father while yawning.

"That's the thing, it happened yesterday." Lili told them. Which caused everyone's eyes to open wide and there mouths to agape. Except for Finne. Who had suspected as so.

"What?!" Bell, Hestia, and Bete exclaimed.

The Pallum then turned her attention to the goddess of her Familia and her fellow Familia member.

"When you and Hestia went shopping yesterday. I left the manor, then I went into labor as I said in disguise." Lili explained to them. "Then at night I left, I put our son in the basket and gave him a blanket. I didn't want him to be cold, so I left him at the front and write that note."

The others remained quiet as they were waiting for Lillicruna to finish her story.

"Then I came back, saw Welf and Mikato doing something that they weren't doing." Lili sighed. "And that's how It all happened."

"I see. Well, this is a little awkward now isn't it?" Loki asked as she put her hand under her chin.

"But that doesn't explain this. Why did you leave it with Bete at the Loki's Familia's manor?" Bell asked her as he stood back up.

"Because I didn't want to take care of him! I couldn't do it on my own!" Lili set her foot down and crossed her arms.

"And you think I could?!" Bete stood up as the two now glared at each other again. Wasn't the first time that night.

"Did you not want him?!" Lili asked.

"It's not that! But did you think only I could take care of the kid?"

"Oh I don't know! You're apart of one of the most powerful Familia's in Orario! You are Familia members with the sword Princess for gods sake!"

"And you don't have a good Familia? Don't you also have your friends?!"

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT YOU BIG WOLF EARED DUMBASS!!!"

"IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT YOU SHORT SMALL EARED WHORE!!"

The two continued on in argument as their foreheads were touching each in anger. Their child watched in worry as he was watching both of his parents fight.

The others in the room were starting to have enough of the two arguing. At least Hestia was, watching these two argue over this made her slightly mad.

Arguing would get everyone nowhere. Especially if it was an important matter like this. And Hestia had enough.

"SHUUT UUUUUUPPP!!" Hestia exclaimed as she stood up and angrily glared at the two. As everyone in the room looked at her completely surprised.

Especially Bell. Who's eyes widened at the angry shout of the pregnant goddess.

"This is an important situation and you're both arguing about it? Where is this going to get you?! Just yelling insults at each other doesn't solve the problem by any means at all." Hestia scolded the two. As both Lili and Bete were slightly afraid. "You two should act responsibly and think about what to do. And I don't know if you noticed, but your child is crying right now!"

Bete and Lili gained puzzled looks as they looked down at the couch. And yep, their son was sitting on the couch and was crying his little eyes out. The cries of the young baby filled the room.

Hestia glared at the both of them as Bell just looked at her. While Finne was trying his best not to say anything. As he figured that it wouldn't make the situation any better.

Loki just sat her hand under her chin as she looked slightly disappointed.

"You two are going to figure out what to do. And I'm not gonna help you!" Hestia stated as she grabbed Bell's hand and drafted him to the dining room. " Come on Bell, dinner's probably ready."

Loki then stood up as she yawned.

"Yeah, it's getting kinda late. I'm gonna head home." Loki then turned around as she began to walk out. "See ya later Bete. Try to figure this out if you can, come on Finne."

"Understood." Finne nodded as he followed Loki and looked back at Bete.

The werewolf did a quiet sigh as Finne just gave him a look. It wasn't a stern expression or anything of the sort, just…a look.

Finne then left the room along with Loki. Which just left Bete, Lili, and their crying baby.

Both of them sighed as they sat down. Bete picked up his son and started cradling him. As Lili sat next to him. Both groaned as Bete kept roving the crying boy.

It was unknown when his cries would stop. And even then they hoped it would stop.

Two reasons bring that they hated seeing their son sad, and the other being that the cries really hurt their ears.

"Shh shh. Hey…please stop crying." Lilicruna quietly told her son as she put her hand on his hand. Caressing the baby's soft hair. As the child then hit away her hand in response.

"Ow!" Lili retracted her hand as she looked at him. "He's a little rough."

"Guess he's a little like me." Bete sighed. As Lili looked up and noticed that Bete had a different expression on his face than usual. It seemed, sad and more lonely than any other face he ever made.

Eventually the boy then fell asleep. As he balled his little fist and snoozed away.

Lili and Bete looked at him quietly. A few minutes ago he was crying so much, but now he was a peaceful, quiet baby.

It made both of them slightly smile. Looking at him.

Then Lili spoke.

"Hey, Bete?"

"Yeah?"

"Have you…ever lost family?"

Bete was silent for a few seconds, until he let out a sigh.

"Yeah, twice actually. Not exactly comfortable talking about it. The Loki Familia's the only family I have left." Bete explained to her. "And this little guy, I guess."

"What about me?" Lili asked out of curiosity. The Pallum was very curious to know what the werewolf would say.

"I don't know yet. I guess…..maybe it's what you think." Bete said a little coldly.

Lili stared at him for a second as she looked down and got a bit closer to him. "I know how you feel. I lost my family twice too. I felt like I had no one else. Soma was manipulated, and I was treated horribly by other people, then I met Bell. I feel like everything changed." Lili let out a sigh. As tears started to form in her eyes.

"Hey come on. Your too tough…to cry." Bete was holding back tears as best as he could. Trying not to cry in front of anyone. As he wiped her eye with the back of the palm of his hand.

"You're crying too ya know!" Lili exclaimed glaring at him.

Finally Bete brought her head to his head. As she looked into his eyes, and he looked into hers. Both had some tears. They didn't usually cry, especially when the two didn't know enough about each other.

"Hey…..I…..I wanna fix this….." Bete told her. "I know I was an idiot. But…..it's not like we can't fix this. Right?"

"Y-yeah….I guess I wanna fix this too…." Lili nodded as some tears started to come out of her eyes. "And. I want to get to know you more."

"I guess I do too." Bete sighed as their heads separated. "It not like we have a choice. But I guess we ought to use this opportunity to get to know each other."

Lili nodded. "For once, I agree with you." She gave a calm smile.

"Hey, don't start another dumb argument." Bete sighed as he frowned.

"I didn't start anything." Lili gave an innocent smile. Which made Bete sigh and slightly chuckle. "What do we do now?"

"Probably get this kid to bed. It's probably better if he sleeps in a crib." Bete stood up. "Come On."

"Lili stood up as well. As she rubbed her eyes. "I'm guessing we're going to the Loki Familia's place?"

"It is my Familia. So of course." Bete told her as they both continued to walk out.

"Hey Master Bell! Goddess Hestia! I'm going out for a bit! I'll be back later!" Lili called out to let her goddess and her Familia member know.

"Alright Lili! Be careful!" Bell called from the dining room.

"Right! And by the way, you're changing him." Lili simply said as Bete turned to her.

"Just me? We can both do it!" Bete exclaimed.

"Eh. We'll see." Lili shrugged as they continued to walk out. Eventually both of them left to go to the Twilight Manor.

Meanwhile…..

"Lord Hermès, are you sure you sure you should enter their home?" Asfi asked as she and Hermès were standing on the roof of the Hearthfire Manor. Along with Aisha.

"Of course. Maybe it's time we tell Hestia." Hermès said to himself. "If we wish to keep Bell safe, then we must keep Hestia safe as well."

"I understand that. But I don't know what telling them that we know what know about their situation will do." Asfi stated as she adjusted her glasses.

"Better to tell them than to keep it secret. It's not like we'll tell others though." Aisha stated as she moved her hair to the side.

"Right. Like Aisha said." Hermès smiled. "Oh?" He said as he saw two people walk out of the manor.

Of course it was Bete and Lili. As the messenger god looked down at the two.

"Hm. It appears to be Lilicruna Arde of the Hestia Familia and Bete Loga of the Loki Familia." Asfi stated as she examined the two.

"Hey. I remember fighting that guy." Aisha thought as she looked at Bete. "Looks he holding something, wonder what it is."

"It matters not at the moment. Lord Hermès, shall I accompany you?" Asfi asked her god.

"Not at all Asfi, you wait here. Aisha and I shall go." He stated as he jumped down. With Aisha following suite.

Asfi sighed before she nodded. "Understood Lord Hermès."

Meanwhile…inside of the Hearthfire Mansion…..

"Alright. We're almost ready to serve dinner, we just need to finish up on some things." Mikato stated as she, Bell, Hestia, and Haruhime were finishing up dinner. They were going to call Welf in a second.

Until another knock came at the door. Which caused Bell to sigh and Hestia to groan.

"I'll get it. It'd better not be Loki again!" Hestia complained as she walked to the door and opened it. And her eyes widened seeing who it was.

It was Hermès. Who was giving the goddess a smile. With Aisha standing behind the messenger god.

"Hi Hestia." He said as he slightly came in.

"H-Hermès!! Get out! What are you doing here?!" Hestia exclaimed as she pointed at him. Not happy in the slightest to see him. Especially after the Xeno's incident.

"Hestia, we need to speak." Hermès' smile went away as his expression became serious. He then got closer to her face as the goddess was intimidated.

He then spoke these words.

"I know what you're hiding."

Ooh!! Cliffhanger! Hope you all enjoyed! Happy Holidays to everyone, stay safe.
