Herta, with some hesitation, revealed she had two elder siblings that happened to be twins— Appolus, the God of Nature and Healing, and Artemia, the Goddess of Knowledge. You'd heard of the latter a few times, but the former was apparently one of the lesser-worshiped deities, having had little influence in this universe's creation, other than laying some groundwork for the Guardians to spread nature, and kickstarting healing magic. Herta said he was a emphatic and relaxed guy, but that he was often away helping other people get reincarnated into other worlds.
Gamus, the God of Laws, also presumably had a twin sister. But Herta didn't really know much about her, or who their parents even were.
As for Aeres, the God of War and Combat, she knew even less of what his family tree was like. But she knew that he was well respected and trusted by the other gods for some reason, despite being a (as Herta would call him) 'meatheaded battle-junkie'. Herta privately told you she suspected they just dumped him to take care of this world so he wouldn't start wrecking the Heavenly Realm out of boredom.
There were also kitsune gods and goddesses that Ayane asked Herta about not too long ago. Apparently these fox deities were worshiped in Oceanippon. One of the kitsune goddesses had (according to legend) more than a hundred children with her Master, who is a kitsune god. The Goddess of Artifice didn't know of them, and assumed they were tutelary deities of some kind.
While this was interesting, none of it really helped you figure out when Herta's due date was. Though you did note how twins seemed to be normal amongst the gods...
When it came to divine power, your first slave-wife knew her stuff. She had studied it for a— "Long, long time", and was able to learn many divine abilities as a result. She'd become absorbed in figuring out ways to get rid of mental corruption, as well as how to best purge demons and the undead. This was all done so she could be useful and help the effort against the Demon Lords that terrorized other isekai worlds.
This also didn't seem to help much with answering your questions, but her love for creation was on full display as she digressed in gushing about the wonderful impossibility of Savant engineering and the beauty of creating things.
You both ended up speaking about things only the two of you could understand.

Cattleya had finished building the telegraph and radio station.
Currently you didn't have much to use for the place, but this would certainly make talking to others in long distances easier once you were able to get things running.
Your Cat was standing by the mansion's balcony, hands on her hips, looking down on the recently constructed building with pride.
"You should be proud." You commended her. Cattleya faced you, eyes bearing an appreciative light. "This was no simple task."
