As the night lingered, Draupadi rested comfortably between her husbands, feeling the warmth of their presence. The laughter from the teasing still echoed in her ears. She raised her head slightly and looked at Yudhishthira, Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula, and Sahadeva, smiling mischievously.
"You five," she began softly, her voice filled with playful accusation, "are the ones who keep making me pregnant every year."
The Pandavas looked at each other, exchanging amused glances before bursting into laughter again. Yudhishthira, ever the calm and composed one, spoke first. "Ah, Draupadi, how could we resist? You are our beautiful queen, and it's no surprise that we want our love to grow in every way possible."
Bhima, grinning widely, leaned in closer. "It seems you have a way of making us want to keep growing our family. But you know, Panchali, it's not just us—you make it all too easy with your beauty and strength."
Arjuna added with a playful smirk, "Every year, huh? Well, it seems we must be doing something right. After all, look at how happy our little ones are!"
Sahadeva, always the quiet one, joined in with a teasing smile, "So, Draupadi, should we start planning for next year already?"
Draupadi’s cheeks flushed red at their teasing, but she couldn't hide the smile that tugged at her lips. She gently swatted Sahadeva's arm, shaking her head. "Don't even think about it!" she laughed. "You all keep me busy enough already."
Nakula, who had been stroking her hair lovingly, leaned down and whispered in her ear, "But we love you for it, Draupadi. Every moment with you and our children is worth all the teasing and hard work."
Draupadi looked up at him, her eyes filled with affection. "And I love you all too," she whispered back. "Even if you make me pregnant every year."
The Pandavas couldn't help but laugh again, their hearts full of joy. They teased her endlessly, but the truth was that they cherished every moment of their lives together—the laughter, the love, the challenges, and even the growing family that kept them all on their toes.
As the night grew quieter, they all settled down, Draupadi nestled in their embrace. Though the teasing never stopped, neither did the love, and that was what mattered most.
