Thank you!

Clarab, are you sure you're consulting the dictionary before you ask for help?

To sire: to beget; procreate as the father.

Heir: a person who inherits or has a right of inheritance in the property of another following the latter's death.

To sire an heir = Engendrar un heredero.

Hope that helps

thanks!
