Eula had been in the hospital for a few days, just so she could rest and get better after giving birth.

And after a while, she made a drastic decision.

She wanted to return to Mondstadt.

Aether thought it was not a good idea, but considering that she was always by his side, he had nothing to worry about, so he agreed to go with her to Mondstadt.

The only difference, was that Eula was not wearing her typical Favonius exploration and knightly outfit, but a casual maternity dress.

Surprisingly, upon entering Mondstadt, people did not look down on Eula, but greeted and greeted her kindly.

This surprised Aether and Eula, who did not think they would be greeted this way.

Anyway...

They continued on their way to the headquarters of the knights of Favonius, and on their way, they did not meet any familiar faces.

As soon as they enter, they see Amber placing a picturesque painting on a wall, and when she looks at Eula entering through the door....

Eula: Amber.

Amber: Eula! It's so good to see you again!

You don't know how much we missed you!

You made us so much-!

Eula: Shhhh!

Suddenly, Aether and Eula's baby started crying.

Aether: ...we got off on the wrong foot.

Eula: There, there, little one....

*rocking the baby*

Amber: A baby?

Aether: No, a sandwich.

Mondstadt's best scout comes over and takes a closer look at the baby Eula was holding in her arms.

Eula: I'll get even for this, Amber.

Nobody makes my baby cry.

Amber: Your baby?

Eula: Uh-huh.

Amber: So you were over 9 months out of.... oh... I get it.

Aether: I was accompanying her in every complicated moment.

It's my duty as her partner... and as the baby's father.

Amber: Are you the father?!

Aether: ...

Eula: ...

Amber: *looks away and coughs*...

Em... can I... carry it...?

Eula: No.

Amber: Why not?

Eula: Because he'll start crying.

Amber: You're not going to cry with me, are you, little one?

She proceeds to hold the baby and in just 2 seconds, he started crying and trying to get away from Amber.

Eula: There, there, there, there, take it easy....

Amber: ...

Eula carries her baby and rocks him, making him laugh and clap his hands at the sight of his mom.

Aether: Come, Eula.

Let's go see Jean and tell her we're back.

Eula: Sure.

As they approached Jean's office door, Amber couldn't help but feel embarrassed to the point of puffing out her cheeks and throwing a tantrum.

Amber: Hey, nobody rejects me! ~ after a while ~ Aether and Eula were talking to Jean, who was holding the baby and surprisingly, the baby wasn't crying. Jean: It's pretty. Eula: "Pretty." Jean: ... is it a boy? Eula: Yes. Jean: ... Jean: Oh. Eula: *sigh* Jean: Well... em... and what's her name? Eula: Well, after a while... Aether and I thought of a good name for the child. Jean: And what's his name? Eula: Well, it's a somewhat... old name, so to speak. It's hardly used, but it's a name I liked. Jean: Ok, and what is it called? Eula: Well... it's called Somnus. Jean: "Somnus", eh? It's certainly a name that is hardly used anymore... but it's cute. Aether: Well... to tell you the truth... I doubt you're going to believe me... but that was my father's name. Jean: Oh... I see... Eula: Well, I also want to say that the people of Mondstadt received me... in the best way. That surprised me, to tell you the truth. Jean: Yes... I have been thinking about the day when you had been gone for almost a year... and I remember how angry you were. Aether: We had a right to be angry. I felt such helplessness and contempt seeing how they treated Eula, and of course, I wasn't going to stand by and do nothing. Eula: ... Jean: *sigh* You're right. I felt that way too, but as the Grand Master Intendant of Mondstadt, I had to keep my composure firm. I was thinking about what to do so that this unfair disregard for the Lawrence clan of today and future generations would end, until, with Lisa's help, I was able to give a moving and reasonable speech for the citizens. Eula: Yes, and? Jean: I asked the citizens to treat the Lawrences with more respect, and as much as they refused from the beginning, the Lawrences were willing to show a change in their attitude... arrogant and vindictive.... This was to the people's liking, so they surprisingly adapted to the change. Eula: Oh... Jean: I also felt a great empathy when I saw how they treated you, Eula... I wanted to do something to help, and I hope I did well. Eula: I... n-I don't know what to say... Aether: Thank you for your kindness, Jean. Jean: You're welcome. You're at home, so you can feel comfortable. If you need anything, just let me know. Aether and Eula: Thank you. They leave and go to Eula's uncle's house, where she used to live. Knocking on the door, they are answered by Schubert, Eula's uncle.

Schubert: ... Eula: Hello, uncle. Schubert: Come in, Eula. I want to talk to your friend. Eula: ... HELLO, uncle. Schubert: ... hello. She enters with her baby in her arms. Aether watched Schubert close the door and cross his arms. Schubert: Do you have any idea what you just did? Aether: Excuse me? Schubert: My niece has been away from Mondstadt for several months, and what angers me the most is that she accompanied a blonde outcast like you. Aether: Hey, don't disrespect me, I don't- Schubert: And to top it off, you had the nerve to get her pregnant! Aren't you ashamed of yourself?! I could kill you for what you did! He pushed Aether, who did nothing to defend herself. Schubert: You shouldn't have gone near her from the first day you met her. I forbid you to see my niece and her son again. Aether: ... You "forbid" me? How dare you say that? Who the fuck do you think you are to say that to me? Schubert: I am Eula's uncle! I seek to protect her, but you ended up corrupting her! Because of your childishness, she suffered Mondstadt's contempt and rejection! Stop meddling in her way and get away from her at once! He shoved Aether again, and the blond felt an urge to beat Schubert up. Aether: ... apologize now. Schubert: I'm going to count to 3, and if you don't get out of my sight, you're going to regret it! One ... two ... Aether: ... Suddenly, Schubert felt a hand squeezing his shoulder hard, to the point of bringing him to his knees. When he turns around, he saw Eula quite angry. Eula: Apologize to my boyfriend NOW. Schubert: No! She squeezed her uncle's shoulder harder. He let out a very pained whimper, but he was still firm. Eula: Aren't you afraid of losing an arm? Schubert: A-Agh...! That's the... best... you can... do...? Eula: Aether. Aether: Yes? Eula: I give you permission so you can beat him up. He smiles sadistically and cracks his knuckles. At that moment, Schubert felt the real terror. Eula went back inside her house, and Aether grabbed Schubert's clothes. Aether: I'll count to 3, and if you don't apologize... you're going to be sorry. Schubert: ... Aether: One... two... Schubert: ... Aether: Tr- OK, OK! SORRY! Aether: Hmpf, that's better. He shoved Schubert loose, throwing him against some barrels full of wine. Aether: You are no one to stop me or Eula from seeing each other. I really want to protect her and be by her side. I never want to be separated from her again, no matter what.1 Schubert: ... why... why do you do this...? Aether: Because I really love Eula. Schubert: ... Aether: And that's why no one is going to tell me what I can or cannot do. I will be with her, whether they like it or not. Schubert: ... He didn't say anything else, he just went into Eula's uncle's house. She was nursing her baby, so he decided to give her some space. Eula: ... I heard what you said out there. Aether: Oh... Eula: I want to tell you that... Aether: Yes...? Eula: I love you too. Aether: *smiles* Eula: We'll be together forever? Aether: Forever. Eula: Promise? Promise you'll never leave! Aether: I promise. She smiled and continued nursing her baby.
