Ari

Chapter 119: Mourning Dance

The other Immortals performed their skills to entertain the guests in between meals as part of the celebration. It was fun since Nirvana rarely held a feast, but it was also exhausting because it lasted until dinner time.

"Son, I've prepared a room for your family near Arie's room. I've also asked the servants to prepare the bath and new sets of clothing to change. Go ahead and have your wife and daughter take an early rest. I bet they're tired from the whole day of celebration," my father said to my brother.

"Thank you, Father," my brother replied while hugging him briefly before following his instruction.

"Mother... Father... May we go ahead to my room? I feel quite exhausted and sleepy," I asked.

"Sure, my dearest! Take an early rest. The servants already prepared your baths. But, will your spouses be staying in your room? Would you like me to have them bring some extra blankets and pillows?" my mother asked.

"Yes, please, Mother. Thank you and goodnight!" I replied in gratitude as I hugged her tightly.

"I love you, my dearest. Rest well," she smiled as she hugged me back.

"How about me? Won't you hug your father too?" my father prodded with a playful smile.

"You're so silly, Father! Of course I'll give you a big hug too!" I grinned as I pulled away from my laughing mother and jumped on him to hug him tightly.

"Honey! Be careful!" Dillon scolded.

My father looked stunned for a moment, then gave a wistful smile.

"*Sigh* You've grown so much this time. It still feels like it was just yesterday when you just reached the age of a youngling," he sighed.

"It's been years now father, but I'm still your baby even if I grew older," I grinned.

"Baby..? Right. You'll always be my baby daughter no matter how old you are. I love you my princess," my father smiled while stroking my hair and resting his other hand on my back.

"I love you too dad. Nightie night!" I replied, weeping silently in his arms for a moment before pulling away.

I ran back to my spouses' side and waved to my parents before going away in a hurry.

"Babe, how did your father know the word 'baby'?" Macan asked while following from behind.

I looked back at them and grinned, "He's been my father for all three lives."

They all looked amazed hearing my words except Dylan.

"Didn't your father die when you were still young?" Macan asked.

"Yes, he did. Let's hurry up! I really want to take some rest," I replied, trying to dash to my room.

Dillon suddenly lifted me in his arms and scolded me, "You're so careless, honey. Are you forgetting that you're pregnant?"

"Oh! Is it not good for the babies?" I asked as I pulled down his clothing a little to check the pregnancy mark.

"Not exactly, but it could be dangerous at times. We need to have you checked as soon as possible. I'll study more about pregnancy from now on," Lowell announced.

"Pregnancy... Hmm... Can't you check my condition, Mac?" I asked.

"W-What?! Me? B-but I only know how to treat animals, babe!" Macan stammered in shock.

"Oh... I see... To be honest, I still feel anxious with male healers and I was planning to give birth at Dylan's palace," I mumbled while frowning.

Dylan looked happy while the others looked anxious.
