Chapter 317 Pregnancy

"Really!?" Dui's eyes widened in disbelief, his expression more vivid than ever before.

Alvin radiated maternal warmth, nodding with a beaming smile: "It's been a month already, and I only realized it yesterday."

Upon hearing Alvin's words, Dui was both surprised and delighted. He carefully touched his wife's still flat belly with his hand, using magic to sense what was inside.

Then he sensed the fluctuations of life within them, very faint, yet truly present.

Overwhelmed with joy, Dui grinned foolishly and exclaimed ecstatically, "I'm going to be a dad! I'm going to be a dad!"

He happily picked up his wife, excitedly and cautiously spinning her around a few times, repeatedly saying, "I'm going to be a father."

Seeing her husband grinning like a fool, Alvin, tender and loving, wrapped her arms around his neck, letting him vent his joy.

After the initial euphoria subsided, Dui regretted his rough handling of his wife, acting as if she were a fragile treasure. He quickly helped her sit down, muttering to himself:

“No, you’re pregnant now, you need to rest. Put everything else aside, I’ll stay by your side every step of the way. We need to inform Lord Elrond and Lady Galadriel… and recruit a few more caregivers. Ellenhis is good at potion-making, and Amanda has a good grasp of medical magic, so bring them both to the castle…”

Listening to her husband's incessant chatter, Alvin was both amused and exasperated. She reassured him, "Duir, I'm just pregnant, not that fragile crystal. There's no need to be so nervous. When my mother was pregnant with me, she even crossed the Misty Mountains to visit my grandparents in Lorien."

Alwen spent a long time calming her husband down before he stopped insisting on having any caregivers or anything like that.

But Dui still intends to put aside all his affairs for the time being and stay by his side to protect him.

Furthermore, he summoned Lady Amanda, the best in medical magic, and Ellenhis, the best in potion-making, to the castle, just in case.

Amanda and Ellenhis were among the first students in the crash course in magic. Amanda showed exceptional talent in medical magic. In the ten years after graduation, she not only mastered various medical spells, but also received an introduction from Alwen to study medicine in Elrond, the best physician in Middle-earth.

Her medical skills are now so advanced that they have earned praise from Elrond. Even Dui cannot compare to Amanda in terms of medical magic.

Ellenhis, on the other hand, was the most talented potion maker among that group of students. After graduation, he stayed at the castle to continue studying potions and even received Professor Snape's potion notes from Dui, which greatly improved his skills.

His potion-making skills are now only one step away from becoming a Potions Master.

The criteria for judging a potion master is not only the ability to produce various high-level potions to perfect quality, but also the ability to create or invent new potions or improve existing ones.

Now, Allenhis is already capable of making potions of perfect quality, and has even successfully made a pot of Felix Felicis.

To become a Potions Master, one is only one step away from improving or inventing a potion.

And that time is not far off, because Allensis is currently inventing a similar potion, inspired by the Tree People's Ent Drink.

In addition to summoning the physician Amanda and the potion master Allenhis, Dui also made sure to tell Elrond in the Valley, as well as Caleborn and Galadriel in Lorean, the good news of Alvin's pregnancy.

Upon receiving the news, Elrond immediately traveled to Hogwarts Castle via the Vanishing Cabinet.

Galadriel and Celeborn followed closely behind, arriving from Lorien.

As the best physician in Middle-earth, Elrond examined Alvin's health as soon as he arrived.

As a loving father, Elrond was both happy for his daughter's pregnancy and somewhat worried.

However, after the inspection, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing his son-in-law Dui's nervous and anxious expression, he said gently, "Alwen is in good health, and the children are fine too, so you don't need to worry too much."

"That's good!" Hearing Elrond's words, Dui finally felt relieved, but the next second he realized what was going on and his eyes widened. "You mean... the children?" Alwen also looked surprised.

Elrond smiled and nodded: "You're right, Alvin is carrying twins, but it's not obvious yet because it's still early in the pregnancy."

Dui was both surprised and delighted upon hearing this.

Twins? He never expected to have twins so soon; this is truly a double surprise!

However, upon closer reflection, the Elrond family does indeed have a tradition of having twins.

Elrond and Ellos, the first king of Númenor, were twins, as were Arwen's two older brothers, Elohir and Elladan.

Alvin is now pregnant with twins.

That's really a testament to strong genes.

Elrond's expression then turned serious and solemn, and he instructed Dui:

"Elves take longer to conceive than humans, up to three years, and the offspring continuously absorb nutrients and magic from the mother. Twins, in particular, place an even greater burden and stress on the mother, making Alvin even weaker."

Therefore, no accidents must occur during pregnancy, and the mother's nutrition and magical energy must be guaranteed. After returning to the Valley, I will prepare some potions suitable for pregnant women. When Alvin is further along in her pregnancy, you must ensure she takes them regularly.

"I've got it, I'll definitely do it!" Dui nodded very seriously, remembering every word Elrond said.

“They are both first-time parents and have little experience, so I will stay here until Alvin gives birth safely,” said Lady Galadriel, who had arrived.

Both Elrond and Duy showed delight upon hearing Galadriel's words.

“Thank you for your help, Lady Galadriel,” Elrond said sincerely.

Galadriel shook his head slightly, his tall figure shielding Alvin in his arms. "Alvin is my granddaughter. Now that Celebrian isn't by her side, I'll have to take care of her."

Dui and Alwen were new parents, and they should have had elders to teach them about pregnancy. However, Dui had no parents, while Alwen's mother, Celebrian, had already crossed the sea to the Land of Blessing.

Only Galadriel, the grandmother, could take on the role of caring for the pregnant Alvin in place of her mother.

So Galadriel moved into Hogwarts Castle to take care of Arwen.

After confirming that his granddaughter was healthy, Kellerborn did not stay long and returned to Lorien to guard the town, but he often sent people to deliver various elven foods, nutritional supplements and other things.

With Galadriel's care, Elrond returned to the Valley with peace of mind, crafting various potions and elixirs, and regularly visiting the castle to check on Arwen's health.

Elohir and Elladan, who were traveling abroad, rushed to the castle to visit their sister after receiving the news.

Friends like Bilbo and Gandalf also came to visit in person or brought gifts after hearing the news.

Upon hearing that the Lady of the Land was pregnant, the people of the territory decorated their homes with lanterns and colorful decorations to celebrate that Hogwarts Castle had an heir.

The wizards within the territory also raised their wands to release magical fireworks into the sky and brought various gifts.

For a time, Brie, Hogsmeade, and Eisengard were all bustling with activity.
