Esmeralda gasped, "Guido!", as Guido stepped closer, his hands caressing her breasts as he leaned in to kiss her neck, and Esmeralda wrapped her arms around him before realizing that he's still clothed, and she licked her lips, huskily whispering, "You're not going to make love to me with those clothes in the way.", before running her hands over the buttons of his jacket.

"Well, why don't you help me with those then?", Guido smirked as she kissed his lips and chuckled. "With pleasure.", Esmeralda said as she started to help strip him out of his clothes, all the while he continued to play with her body.

As Guido had a couple of layers, it took a bit, but eventually, Guido stood almost nude with his boxers, his penis clearly straining against the constricts, and Esmeralda purred softly, kissing his neck, stroking his chest as Guido played with her body.

Guido growled lowly as Esmeralda moaned from the sudden squeezes of her breasts, "Oh, yes!", and he then picked her up in his arms, kissing her passionately as they walked to the bed tucked away to the side, hidden by curtains, and as Guido lowered her down against the blankets, he pulled back the curtains to cover them from sight, yet there's a lantern above them, still going and flickering in the dim darkness.

Esmeralda looked up at Guido shyly, "This is really happening...", and Guido smiled at her tenderly, "I'm scared too, but we can do this together...We waited so long for this, haven't we?".

Esmeralda nodded as she took a deep breath, "Just be gentle, okay?... it'll... it'll hurt for me at first.". Guido nodded. "Of course... heh, and I thought I would be the nervous one...", he admitted.

Esmeralda smiled softly at him, and hooked her fingers on her underwear, removing it, and looking at Guido with a blush, and Guido exhaled in awe as he locked his eyes on her glistening vagina...

The entrance to her inner flower, her most revered spot of all her gorgeous, incredible body...Guido then looked up at Esmeralda with a look of intense love, "It's glorious, just like you...", before taking a deep breath, hooking his fingers on his boxers, removing it, and his penis sprung up to full mast, in sight of Esmeralda who widened her eyes in surprise and amazement.

"Boy, that's quite the sword you're carrying.", Esmeralda teased as Guido blushed. More of bashful pride than embarrassment, obviously. "Just play with me a bit longer before we finally become one...".

Guido smiled, "As my angelic princess wishes.", before leaning in, his hands caressing her breasts as he kissed her belly lovingly, realizing that he might be a father before this day ends...After all, as she is finally 18, and his wife, he is going to take her...

Esmeralda whispered, looking at Guido in complexation, "You can always pull out if you aren't ready to be a father, Guido...", wanting to be taken by him...She didn't take the anti-pregnancy herb at all...

"Of course.", Guido kissed her once more as his hands continued to caress her body, "God, your body is so perfect...".

Esmeralda blushed, and spoke, "Your body is gorgeous too.", before moaning as she felt his hands caressing every spot of her body, and finally, at her vagina.

Guido caressed her folds, and Esmeralda cried out in pleasure, "Yes, Guido! Please!", and Guido smiled as his hand searched for the entrance, and then went to pump slowly into it, earning Esmeralda to moan and cry out in pleasure, "More!".

Esmeralda gave loud moans as he continued to work his hand, letting her run wild with the waves of pleasure that was hitting her with each thrust. At the same time, Guido's lips were caressing her skin in multiple places with many kisses.

After several minutes of mind-blowing pleasure, Esmeralda finally felt something familiar from when she had worked herself a few times, but this time, it's even more intense, and she shouted out in pleasure as she came, soaking Guido's hand.

Guido quickly bought it out, licking and cleaning his fingers, enjoying the sweet taste of Esmeralda's juices as his wife panted heavily, wide-eyed in amazement and ecstasy as she steadily recovered.

"You taste so good, Emma.", Guido smiled lovingly at her, and Esmeralda blinked at him with a loving, dopey smile, "And you did so good, Guido...", before taking a deep breath as she spread her legs further out, "I'm ready, my captain.".

Guido took a deep breath before he moved to position himself and got ready to penetrate her. He lined himself up and started to rub against her entrance, causing her to moan loudly once more.

Esmeralda looked at Guido, "Yes...", and Guido slowly moved in, pushing his penis into her, as she cried out in pleasure and slight pain as she's stretching to fit him...Gods, he's so perfectly long and big like a sword...

She moaned, gasped, and cried out in pleasure as Guido pushed deeper and deeper, with her walls squeezing around him before she shrieked out in slight surprise and pain when she felt him hit her motherhood wall...

Guido paused, exhaling, looking at Esmeralda, "Nice and slow or hard and fast?", and Esmeralda blinked, "Both...Nice and hard.".

"I'll try then.", Guido nodded as he started to push deeper as he could, not wanting to break her wall just yet but rather work up the rhythm before he could do that.

Esmeralda moaned as she felt him pinpricking her wall like marbles, building up a nice pace, the slight pain turning into pleasure every time, almost like acclimating her to the sensation, and once the pace built up a bit faster, Guido gave a thrust, breaking the wall, and Esmeralda cried out in mostly pleasure, with some pain in the mix, gasping as he resumed the pacing in his incoming thrusts, feeling him hold her hips closer.

"Yes, Guido! Keep going!", Esmeralda cried out in pleasure, instinctively wrapping her legs around his waist, grabbing him with her arms, kissing him, and Guido passionately held her, kissing her as hard as he is thrusting into her, soon finding her G-spot, earning her to moan muffled during their passionate kissing frenzy.

Guido smiled victoriously, and turned up the intensity of his thrusts, swiftly hitting her G-spot as Esmeralda cried out in pleasure, "YES!", and Guido caressed her body after leaning up slightly, looking at her with love, devotion, and awe, amazed that he is truly taking her...

He knew that he could pull out anytime if he doesn't want to be a father, but somehow, right now, seeing her in his mind's eye, glowing with that familiar motherly aura like the others did, her belly incredibly beautiful and big, holding a little wonderful treasure of their own...

Guido leaned down to whisper, "It's your birthday...Do you want to have a child? Somehow, I'm not scared anymore...I love you...".

Esmeralda shook her head. "No, please... don't pull out, Guido... I want to have your child... I want to be a mother...", she whispered as she kissed his cheek and he nodded, going in harder once more.

Guido wrapped his arms around her as he kissed her skin in various spots while thrusting hard and swift, causing Esmeralda to moan and cry out in pleasure, and as it is their first time, they didn't last too long before Esmeralda pleaded, "I'm so close! Please tell me that you are close!".

"You're so tight, Emma...Almost there, my beauty...", Guido grunted and growled as he went faster, and Esmeralda writhed beneath him, moaning and crying out in pleasure, and before they knew it, she shouted out in pleasure, "Guido!", mind blown as her second orgasm shot through her, and Guido roared-shouted out in pleasure as he came, "Esmeralda!", swiftly filling her up.

The two of them cried in their pleasure for a good half minute before finally collapsing in exhaustion, bundled together as they took deep breaths to relax. "Esmeralda...", Guido whispered as she kissed his cheek.

Esmeralda smiled lovingly at her husband, "Now I know what Mama meant by feeling incredibly happy...You were so wonderful, my captain...", still feeling the twitches of him inside her, and she prayed that she'd be a mother at the end of the evening if not sooner, for she planned to be like her mother in a couple of ways...

Guido smiled tenderly as he kissed her on the lips, "And you were so amazing, my beauty...I know I said it before, but I'll say it again...Happy birthday, Emma.", and Esmeralda smiled radiantly as they cuddled together for the next hour before having to eat dinner, and eventually, a couple of hours later, the sloop had made it to Othonoi.

The newlywed couple was quite busy that first night, and so their honeymoon began and went fast as it lasted two weeks like tradition, blissfully unaware that they've truly conceived a new life in the captain's quarters.

Months passed, and soon, Esmeralda was showing big signs of pregnancy like throwing up and food cravings, and upon the check of Attina with the trident, she is carrying one baby, but they said no to finding out about the gender, wanting to be surprised.

Then came another surprise; the baby decided to be born on Guido's birthday, well, his adopted birthday as Lucia didn't specify the date of his birth, and luckily, Guido was spared a half day of patrol, but when he was starting to tell the crew to head home at the end of the planned patrol, things changed, with another attack by pirates.

He was frustrated at the distraction and not being able to come home sooner; unaware of his wife giving birth, but knew those pirates would cause trouble somewhere if not taken care of. Not that the pirates were giving them the option to engage as their ship was on a direct course for confrontation with them. Guido ordered the men to their posts and prepared to engage.

Meanwhile, Esmeralda cried out in pain from a contraction as Mira is holding her hand, "Breathe, daughter, you're not all dilated yet.", and Esmeralda groaned, "What is taking Guido so long?!".

Mira replied, "Don't worry, he is coming soon. After all, patrol is supposed to be done by now.", and Esmeralda sobbed, "I wish he was here!", taking deep breaths as her belly convulsed.

Arcadia and the doctor are in the birthing room with them, and Arcadia reassured her, "It's gonna be alright, Esme. Just relax...I know my brother, and either Mom or Melody will send a message to him somehow on his way back. He wouldn't dare miss the birth of his child, and he'd make the crew sail faster than ever. I'm sure he's just fine-tuning the final notes from the patrol.", unknowing that Guido is currently occupied, not with paperwork, but with enemies.

Guido avoided another shot as one of the pirates took aim with a long rifle as their ships fired at each other. Obviously, the advantage was on Guido's ship, but one lucky shot from the pirates would be all they would need; and the same could be the opposite.

Hitting the enemy's power magazine on the ship usually was a fatal blow. Guido kept giving out his orders as the battle raged for several minutes before finally one shot from his ship struck the pirates and caused a large hole that started to tip the ship forward; the pirates now rushing to save their ship rather than focus all their efforts on the battle.

Guido bellowed out, "Strike them at once. Three cannons on!", and the crew roared, scrambling around to get the cannonballs, the torches and the flammable dust.

"Aim for the weak spots around the hole!", Guido commanded, and the cannons were into position, and Guido roared, "FIRE!", and the three cannonballs boomed out of the cannons, aiming at the enemy ship's weak spot, creating three more holes into the brig and the bow.

Water came into the ship instantly, and Guido's crew cheered and roared, celebrating as the pirates were trying to get to the lifeboat, but it was too late as they were like fish in a barrel, with several of the crew shooting the pirates.

Guido grinned to himself, noting the damage to his ship, to himself and the crew, and was about to talk to his first mate when a squawk called out, and Guido looked up to see a seagull, recognizing it as the granddaughter of Scuttle; Darcy.

Darcy landed on the barrister before him, at the wheel, panting as she held up a rolled scroll from her leg. Guido cannot talk to sea creatures naturally as he's not of Ariel's lineage, but when he's a merman, he can, thanks to magic.

Guido took the tied scroll from her leg, and opened it up, his eyes widening in shock as he read it, 'Esme's in labor! Get home, NOW!'.

"Sir, we're still quite some distance out...", the first mate said. "I know, I know!", Guido shouted before he quickly calmed himself down. "Listen, just try to get us back home as soon as we can... even against the wind if that's the case.".

The first mate nodded, "Yes, sir!", taking the wheel, turning it and in turn, the ship into the direction of Tirulia, and Guido bellowed out, "Crew! Scrape up everything you could, open the sails, pull the rigging, everything you got! My wife is in labor, and I don't intend to miss it! Is that clear?!".

The crew shouted in agreement as the ship sailed as fast as it could to make it back home. After a few hours, it finally arrived in port. "First mate, just... just do whatever needs to be done right now, I need to see my wife.", Guido replied quickly.

The first mate nodded, "Go, Captain!", with a grin, and Guido took a rope, swung down to the dock, landing, and saw one horse saddled up, "Sire, here is my horse!", one of the villagers replied.

"Thank you! I'll bring him back to you soon!", Guido thanked the villager, looping up into the saddle, and urged the horse into a full gallop, "Come on, boy!", praying that he isn't too late. He may be scraped up with bandages and sore from all the sudden battle with the pirates, but he ain't stopping for anything. After all, his baby is coming on his birthday!

Guido quickly arrived back at the palace as he was rushing through, trying to find where his wife was. He soon found his way into the room as he practically stormed in. "Emma!", he shouted.

Esmeralda sobbed, "Guido!", before crying out in pain at another contraction, and Mira shouted, "Push!", as Guido instantly closed the door, looking at the scene for a moment before composing himself.

Guido ran to her side, taking her hand, "I'm here, I'm here.", and Esmeralda gave a weak smile, "About time you made it...You're telling me the story right after this, is that clear?".

"Yes, ma'am.", Guido smiled, kissing her cheek, and Mira called out, "Esmeralda, I said push!", and Esmeralda blinked before crying out at another contraction, and pushed, grunting and moaning.

"Atta girl!", Mira nodded, and as Esmeralda pushed on another contraction, she shouted in pain as she felt something crowning, and Mira called out, "I see something! Yes, the baby's peeking headfirst!".

Arcadia patted Esmeralda's shoulder, "Almost there, Esme.", as Guido nearly cried in joy, his heart beating fast, holding her hand, "We're having a baby!".

Esmeralda squeezed his hand back, smiling at him, "We are, Guido.", before taking a deep breath, and shouted in pain as she pushed, feeling the head slowly stretch her vagina out.

"Sorry I'm late...", Guido apologized. "Our ship got caught up with some pirates and delayed my return.". Esmeralda snorted, "Explains why you look terrible right now...".

Guido nodded sheepishly, "Yeah, I hope our baby doesn't freak out when she or he sees me like this. Sort of my fault I got into this scrape...Luckily, the crew is all safe and well. Bruises and cuts mainly, with a couple of minor injuries, but yeah.".

Esmeralda looked relieved, "Good!", before crying out at another contraction, and Mira shouted, "Push!". Esmeralda pushed, screaming out in pain as the shoulders came soon, feeling sore, and panted as she recovered slightly.

"Just one more push, and it's out!", Mira called up, and Guido squeezed her hand, "You got this!", and Esmeralda nodded determinedly, taking a deep breath, and pushed, grunting and shouting, feeling the baby slide out, with Mira catching the baby, cleaning it swiftly, clearing the blood and membrane stuff off, and then came a loud, shrill wail of life.

Esmeralda sobbed, tears falling, staring with a tearful smile as Mira then announced, "It's a girl! You two got a beautiful daughter!", with a beaming smile, and Guido finally let go of his tears happily. He's a father! To a baby girl!

Mira, after bundling the baby girl loosely, got up gently, handing over the baby into Esme's arms, and Esmeralda instinctively held her little girl, staring at her in awe and love as Guido peered in closely.

Their daughter has light brown hair in little curls, with a touch of blonde when the light hits the hair just right, having pale copper skin, lighter than Esmeralda yet darker than Guido, having bright green eyes just like Esmeralda, and having Guido's nose.

Guido whispered, "Oh, Emma, she's so beautiful...just like you...", and Esmeralda whispered back to him, "She's like you too...Why don't you make it up to her by giving her name?".

"That's fair...Born on my birthday...so lucky...", Guido hummed thoughtfully before smiling softly, "Liliana, and her nickname would be Lily for short.".
