บททั้งหมดของ Reborn, Pregnant, and Plotting: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

Today was the day Vera needed to go collect food from the pickup area, but that was not the only thing on her list. During those five days, her sons had pushed her to install weapons across the fences, and Vera still did not fully understand how they managed to create them. Something had happened inside her storage space, something tied to the boys or her pregnancy, the land, and the strange power growing around her territory. The boys were very proud of themselves too, which made the whole thing even funnier because their tiny voices sounded so sweet while they explained weapons that could probably split a ship in half.“Mommy, this one burns,” her first son said proudly, and a small panel on the fence opened before releasing a line of concentrated flame hot enough to melt scrap metal.“And this one freezes,” her second son added right away, clearly not willing to let his brother get all the attention. A second weapon shifted from behind the scrap panel and released sharp bursts of i

When everything was ready, Vera started walking toward the exit of the sector. The same space car was waiting for her, and the same guard from before stood beside it, looking like he still did not know what to do with her. Vera pulled a fresh pumpkin and a bag of potatoes from her storage space and handed them to him before he could say anything.“Miss, what is this?” he asked, staring at the food like she had handed him a treasure chest.“It is a thank-you,” Vera said. “Also, eat this. Your mental energy is not stable. You are going to drop me at the market, then go to your wife and kid. Give them the pumpkin. It will help.”She handed him a baked potato, still warm enough that the smell curled into the air between them. The guard almost salivated on the spot. He was stressed, exhausted, and stretched so thin that Vera could see it in his face before the babies even whispered about him. His kid was sick, his wife was not getting better, and his salary was too low to buy the medicine

Unfortunately, she was no longer inside the garbage sector, so her supplies were not multiplying while she sold them. That was annoying, but not a problem. She had brought a lot from the five-day harvest, and back home, her villagers were already planting the next wave of vegetables. At some point, customers who had already bought food came back dragging relatives, neighbors, coworkers, and anyone else they could find. Some returned after eating one bite outside the market because they realized they needed more before the stall disappeared. Others came back with pale faces and shaking hands, whispering that their mental fatigue had eased, their headaches had softened, and their cores felt warmer. One woman came back pulling an older man by the sleeve, telling him to stop arguing and just taste it. A young father bought one baked potato, split it between two children, then came back with wet eyes and asked if Vera had anything softer for his wife. Vera watched all of it carefully. Sh

Before anyone could attack together, three boys leaped from behind John and switched sides so fast the others barely understood what happened. They had been with the bandits a moment ago, but the second they saw Grock alive behind Vera and the first maddened man drop, their survival instinct made the decision for them. Vera glanced at them and nodded once.“Good boys,” she said. “Are we going to fight or what?”Right on cue, the maddened men attacked. John barely had time to raise the gun again before Vera moved. Her machete was no longer just metal. Her sons’ magic wrapped around the blade, fire crawling along one edge and ice smoking along the other, turning every swing into something violent and impossible. When she cut through the first attacker, flame burned through the wound before the ice cracked it open from inside. The second came low, crawling over scrap like a beast, and Vera stepped onto a rusted bumper, twisted her body, and brought the blade down through his shoulder wi

She had just climbed into bed in fluffy pajamas when her hologram rang. The ID was unknown, but she answered anyway because she was too sleepy to care. The screen opened, and the moment the man appeared, Vera paused.The man on the hologram was so handsome that Vera forgot to breathe for a second. She did not even know who he was yet, but her body reacted before her brain caught up.What the actual hell, Vera thought. She had to blink a few times while looking at the man staring at her. Vera did not think she had seen a more handsome man on Earth or here.He had dark hair, slightly messy like he had been running his hand through it all night, and pale eyes that looked tired but still too intense to ignore. His face was strong, serious, and stupidly beautiful in a way that made her want to stare longer than she should. His uniform fit his broad shoulders too well, and even through the screen, he looked expensive, powerful, and dangerous in a very annoying way. Vera blinked once, irrita
