"You're kidding, right?" Hilda Said as she read the report.
"Ohh, finally. Do you know how long I've been waiting for this day?" Cassie said with a smile, she saw Hilda freeze up while reading the report.
"I can already imagine the news going crazy over this, 'This just in, the Youngest Major General in Federation History now Pregnant at 45'." Cassie said as she hugged the general.
Even though the General was now 45, her body was still not only in perfect shape, but it also looked as if it hadn't aged since they left the academy years ago.
Especially the two towering bazookas that demanded attention everywhere they went.
"Ohh, what a lucky child, getting to drink milk outa of these weapons." Cassie said, groping the General's Chest.
Just the fact that they still didn't sag was a miracle in Cassie's eyes. While her chest was also impressive, standing next to the generals would make anyone else's chest look smaller. And the fact that it didn't look out of place on her body was also fourth telling just how impressive the General's Body was.
Hilda automatically ignored whatever Cassie was saying, after all, the report in her hand just said that she had been pregnant for about two weeks now.
Calming down a little, Hilda pushed away Cassie, who wouldn't stop groping her.
After 20 years together, they had seen each other naked tons of times. Heck, there were times on the battlefield where they each had to help the other shower and eat for weeks when they were injured.
"Honestly, this doesn't change much. I'll just follow the pregnancy laws. The only annoying thing is probably the year off work I have to do." Hilda grumbled.
Because of advances in technology, she could have her pregnancy expedited to around five months, but doing so would probably leave her child with some deficiencies or weakness.
Only those in poor positions or people who just generally didn't care about the future of their child would do that.
As much as Hilda said she didn't care about her child, even she wouldn't want to put them at a disadvantage. With how the Job market was looking now that robots were replacing most Jobs.
Any disadvantage would be magnified and leave a person with almost no chance of getting a real job and having to rely only on the federation stimulus to survive.
Plus, as a General, Hilda was confident she could pave the way for her Daughter to eventually take over her position.
Yes, that's right, Daughter. Having a Male child was still too rare, and while the male-to-female ratio had only just stabilized at 1:300 the past 200 years, the chances of having a male were still just too small.
Besides, it was a well-known fact that warriors in general had even less of a chance of giving birth to a male for some unknown reason.
After getting the Report, Hilda's life didn't change much for the first couple of months.
As a General, she didn't need to go to the field much and usually just handled paperwork and assigned missions, and mostly just attended meetings. The closest she got to the field was when she was checking on the army to make sure they weren't slacking off too much.
Even the world quickly moved from the news of her pregnancy, since everyone pretty much expected a girl.
The only thing that really changed was Hilda's eating habits, for some reason unknown even to Hilda, her body fell in love with all sorts of snacks, while she personally dreaded every time a snack entered her mouth, her body just craved too much for some reason.
The Doctor has told her that it was probably just the child in her belly.
Every time her body craved snacks, she wrote down how much she ate and planned to make the child abstain from any sweets for that long.
And so far, just the past 3 months that she had been pregnant, the number had reached 13 years.
As time went by, the time finally came when Hilda was predicted to go into labor.
As an only child, the only person who came to Hilda's besides Cassie, whom she considered her best friend, was also her mother.
While Hilda didn't have the best relationship with her mother because of the rough childhood she had.
She still wanted her present for the birth of her only grandchild, as Hilda planned to let her mother be the primary caretaker while she was at work.
Now that she was General, just the salary alone was enough to take care of a family of 10 comfortably, with everyone never lacking anything in life.
And that wasn't even counting her bonuses and discounts she got as a General.
"Can't you just be a little bit more excited Hilda!" beamed Hallie, Hilda's Mother.
When her Daughter first told her she was pregnant, Hilda couldn't wait to see her and immediately packed up, quit her job at her office, and took the first plane to the capital to be closer to her daughter.
As someone who was pretty much getting closer to her older years at 62, she was one of the few people left in her office to not have a grandchild.
So anytime there was some downtime in the office, which was pretty much every day, she would have to hear about how everyone spent most of the day with their grandchildren, all sorts of stuff they would do.
Sometimes they would even have giant playdates with each other, even though she was invited, Hallie usually didn't attend, as she knew everyone there would just be showing off their achievements.
Even after years of pestering, Hilda would always ignore her pleas to do more inseminations than the ones already required.
Now that her Grandchild was about to be born, Hallie no longer cared about the Job she worked so hard to get.
After all, it wasn't likely she needed money, she was just bored all the time since she just lived by herself.
Now, with a baby on the way, she could become a full-time babysitter for her grandchild.
"I feel more tired than happy. I haven't been able to do any paperwork for 2 months now, plus I'll have to do at least 1 full year of maternity leave before I can return to work." Hilda yawned.
She had been feeling tired the past 2 months as she finally conquered her eating habits and stopped eating as many snacks.
With that, they soon entered the opening room.
