The Sage of Einar

Einar, who was sleeping, heard the cry of his little babies so he got out of bed and went to the cribs of his babies.

Erik and Katherine were crying due to being hungry, so they relaxed just a bit when they were carried by their father.

Who began to lull them while warming some breast milk that he had expressed from their wives at night.

Due to how tired they were from the whole process of giving birth, Einar had to prepare in advance for the care of the babies.

When the milk was at the correct temperature, he put some in his hand to check that it was not going to burn his children.

After this he placed them in their cribs and began to feed them with the bottles. The two little babies drank the milk from the bottle until they were completely full.

So after this, Einar sat in a rocking chair to accommodate his little children and began to pat them on the back so they could get the air out of them.

It didn\'t take long for the two babies to burp and scoop out the air they had absorbed, along with a bit of milk slime that stained Einar\'s back.

This far from bothering him only made him smile, so he carefully cleaned the small mouths of his two children and began to lull them.

It didn\'t take long for Erik and Katherine to fall asleep in their father\'s arms, so Einar settled them in their cribs and kissed each of them on the forehead.

"Sleep well, my little angels."

After leaving his babies sleeping, Einar took off his shirt, as he could get sick from how wet he was.

Using a towel, he wiped her back and put on another shirt to later wash the bottles with soap in the kitchen sink.

When he finished, he placed them on the table because tomorrow he would have to place them in boiling water to disinfect them completely.

When he was done with everything, he lay back down on his edge of the bed as his three wives were sleeping on the other side of the bed.

Laisa, who had been silently observing Einar, only felt a strange sensation because for her it was the first time she had seen something so strange.

This because the traditions said that women should be responsible for babies, but Einar was completely different.

He cared for her children at a level that would leave her father an irresponsible man or who never saw to her safety.

Although she could not complain either because the way he cared for her was how he knew how to do it.

\'I guess being Odin\'s herald made Einar a man who can do anything.

Tomorrow I will ask him how to take care of the babies. I too must learn to help him in any way I can. \'

After those thoughts, Laisa closed her eyes and fell asleep.

In the morning the crying of the babies woke up Einar, who woke up and walked towards the babies, as he had to change their diapers.

How he also needed to give them to Kassia and Helmi so they could nurse them.

After removing the dirty diapers and washing the babies\' skin very well to avoid chafing, Einar fitted them with new cloth diapers and brought them to their mothers.

Laisa, who had just woken up, looked to her side and could see the two babies enjoying their mother\'s milk with calm faces.

"They are extremely beautiful, I doubt if my son will also have the same red hair as his father."

Einar just smiled as he rang a bell for one of the maids to bring them some wheelchairs so they could go to breakfast.

"Possibly it will be. I think that with this we discovered that the gene for red hair is predominant, even in Helmi\'s case it is surprising.

Well, little Erik did not suffer from albinism like his mother. "

Helmi shook her head to the side, "Is albinism bad?"

Einar shook his head "Only the ignorant would complain about something like that. Albinism is a condition where melanin production is low if not zero.

Fortunately, you suffer from garter albinism so the sun does not represent a real danger, but in more serious cases the eyes are completely red and the skin is pale.

So the sun can kill with just a few minutes exposure. "

When he finished speaking the door opened and four beautiful servants entered through the door, two of them were carrying wheelchairs.

While the other two would help Einar accommodate Kassia and Helmi in wheelchairs.

After putting the two women in wheelchairs while carrying their children, they all headed to the kitchen to have breakfast.

A full meal for Kassia and Helmi was already served in the dining room, consisting of seal meat, boiled vegetables, and applesauce.

They also had some cow\'s milk with a little honey and some white bread, while the food for everyone else was seal meat prepared with spices and deep-fried vegetables.

Like white bread and milk. Although breakfast might seem heavy, Einar made it that way with the intention of giving everyone energy.

Well, the exercise and work in the morning required energy, while Einar was arranging Kassia at the table.

Laura and Daven ran into the dining room, heading straight for their siblings.

"Good morning dad and mom, how are my little brothers."

Laura asked while looking fondly at little Erik, who was in Helmi\'s hands.

Helmi smiled and stroked her daughter\'s hair "Little Erik is very well, he has behaved very well."

Kassia, who was already settled, looked at little Katherine in her arms "Your sister is also very well, the little one has been behaving very well.

But if you really want to ask, you should ask Einar, since he is the one who takes care of them at dawn."

Daven, who was next to Kassia used his hand to caress the cheek of his sister, who just yawned and snuggled back into her mother\'s chest.

Einar, who was looking at his family, smiled a lot and carried Laura and Daven in his arms.

"His siblings are behaving very well. As babies, they are quite active and they do not stop discovering new things in their little life.

Remember that you must always take care of them since they are your brothers. "

Laura and Daven nodded, and after that the whole family had breakfast. After that, Kassia and Helmi would spend time with the babies in the inner courtyard.

While Einar would be in his office, taking care of the many earrings he had.

Once in the office and after seeing numerous craftsmen and blacksmiths attended, the door opened, allowing Laisa to enter.

Who stared at Einar "Einar, I wish you would teach me how to take care of babies.

Seeing you working and taking care of the little babies made me want to do the same to help you, as your wife is my obligation to do it.

Since they are also part of my family. "

Einar showed a smile and stretched out his hands "Sure I can teach you Laisa, but you must always remember to be patient with babies.

They are small so they do not understand words, they only act in the way of attitude as you treat them, so yelling at them is completely forbidden.

They only want love and care. I know you are changing but can you promise to take care of them and stay calm. "

Laisa nodded and hit her chest "I can promise you on my honor as a warrior woman and future Valkyrie that I will never hurt babies.

Even I understand that they are the future of our family, so I hope you can teach me so that I can take care of them just like you do. "

Einar nodded, "Tomorrow the training will begin, for the moment you should prepare yourself because babies always need care.

I want you to stay close to Kassia and Helmi for the moment and watch everything they do, from breastfeeding the baby to changing the cloth diaper.

I know it can be boring, but you should know that the greatest pleasure of being a father is taking care of your children and watching them grow into great people. "

Laisa showed a smile and left Einar\'s office. Without wasting time, she went to the inner courtyard where Kassia and Helmi were enjoying the sun that entered.

While the babies were sleeping comfortably in specially prepared cribs, because Iceland had no insects.

The babies could sleep without worries. When Laisa arrived, she approached Kassia and Helmi, to be able to sit in front of them.

"I would like to ask you to show me how you take care of babies during this day, because tomorrow I will start a training with Einar to help take care of them."

Kassia and Helmi smiled "No problem Laisa, settle in because we will be in this place for a while.

How about you tell us something about your hometown or that city your father conquered? "
