P-p-please, uhm... check the d-delivery schedule! It's imp-imp-imperative!
N-n-n-no time for pleasantries! W-w-we need t-t-to make sure s-s-s-things a-a-are r-r-ready!
But why? Are we having sex?
W-w-what?! N-n-no! This is b-b-business related! T-t-the next S-s-Santa is n-n-nearing their d-d-due date!
How can it be in your womb if you're a guy? And how did you get impregnated if you're a guy??? Do you have both genders?!?!?!??!?
You clearly d-d-don't understand! Santa's family bloodline is i-i-important!
Bro explain your whole situation please.
Okay. The thing is...I'm Santa's son. And you're pregnant because I'm the one carrying the next generation's Santa Claus. It’s a family tradition. Also I’m visibly heavily pregnant.
Please don’t freak out but yes
Let's j-j-just keep this between us... I'm carrying t-t-the next S-s-Santa... It's n-n-normal, I-I assure you... Just a-a- bit uncomfortable
Is it me or did you just shoehorn Santa lore into Genshin Impact's lore-
W-w-well, uhm... Yeah? What if I d-d-did? Maybe we c-c-can combine the w-w-worlds! Imagine the p-p-power of c-c-collaboration!
Hmmmmm that wouldn't be too crazy, but like what part would you shoehorn exactly?
W-w-well, maybe... A-A-Ahem... The umbilical cord is l-l-like the elemental affinity system, as i-i-it d-d-delivers n-n-nutrients and o-o-oxygen to the baby b-b-baby, just l-l-like how elemental energies are delivered to the w-w-wielder through their w-w-w-wish.
now I'm getting some Paimon acidtrip vibes.
O-o-okay, but b-b-back to the m-m-more important issue at h-h-hand... The d-d-delivery.
Yeah, about that. Wouldn't it be more comfortable to give birth in a Hospital instead of the damn North Pole Workshop?
W-w-well, uhm... I-I mean, y-y-yeah, that s-s-sounds like a good idea, b-b-but, uhm... You see, the n-n-north pole doesn't exactly h-h-have any h-h-hospitals...
Then where will you deliver-
...You know where they have hospitals, right?
...Then why did you say you'd have nowhere to go?
Um... It's a long story. Let's just say that I'm not from around here...
Isn't that weird? Shouldn't it be more like.... womb-surgery or sth
Uhhh… do you think it might be possible to go to a hospital nearby? Maybe somewhere on Earth?
Why not just build one at the north pole? We have all the food supplies already, so a couple more building materials won't kill us, will they?
…Actually, that’s not a bad idea… We could use our magical powers to make it all appear! Maybe we should do that…
And who exactly gets to deliver you when the time comes anyway? Is someone training a doctor, or-
Well... I'm actually an obstetrician myself... So, I'll be delivering myself... It's going to be quite the experience, let me tell you...
So you are self delivering yourself while shoehorning santa and gachin impact's lore together-
Don’t worry though, I have plenty of medical experience. In fact, I delivered my own parents when they were giving birth to me! Talk about a family tradition, right? I’ve also helped deliver many other babies over the years. It’s all in the family, as they say!
So you're basically interbreeding with yourself, creating a never-ending lineage-
...I suppose you could put it that way, yes. It's a bit strange, isn't it? But hey, as long as the kids turn out healthy, right?
Hey, no need to get all freaked out, alright? Look, we've got this under control. I've done this before, and I know what I'm doing. Just trust me, okay?
Alright, I've got everything all set for the delivery. It's just going to be a matter of time before we have a healthy baby Santa. So, just sit tight and try not to worry too much, alright? I'll take care of everything.
CUT TO AFTER THE BIRTH OF LILY.
