**Chapter 126: A Craving for Blueberries**
The palace had become accustomed to Draupadi’s cravings, each one more unique than the last. From tamarind to cheese, her desires kept the Pandavas on their toes. Now, as her pregnancy progressed, another craving had emerged: blueberries.
One afternoon, Draupadi sat by the window, gazing out at the lush gardens of the palace. But her thoughts weren’t on the flowers or the trees—they were on the tiny, sweet, and tart taste of fresh blueberries. She could almost taste them as she imagined popping one into her mouth.
Without hesitation, Draupadi called for the palace servants, instructing them to find the finest blueberries in the kingdom. The news of her new craving quickly spread to the Pandavas, who were already beginning to anticipate these moments.
Bhima, always quick to act when it came to food, was the first to hear. "Blueberries this time, Panchali?" he asked with a grin as he entered her chambers. "I’ll make sure you have the juiciest ones."
Arjuna, who had been practicing with his bow nearby, overheard the conversation and strolled over. "Blueberries?" he teased. "That’s a change from the cheese. But knowing you, Panchali, they must be perfect. Perhaps I should go hunt down the best berries myself."
Yudhishthira chuckled softly from his place at the council table. "It seems our little one is developing quite a diverse palate," he said. "But no worries, Panchali, we’ll make sure your craving is satisfied."
Nakula, ever attentive, brought her a glass of water as he added, "Blueberries are good for you and the baby. Just say the word, and I’ll personally make sure the finest blueberries are delivered to you daily."
Sahadeva, not to be left out of the fun, gave her a playful smile. "You’re keeping us all busy with your cravings, Panchali. But I must say, I’m curious to see what comes next after blueberries."
Draupadi couldn’t help but laugh at their teasing. She knew they would do anything to make her comfortable during this time. "You’re all lucky that I only crave blueberries this time," she replied with a smile. "But you better bring me the best, or I’ll send you all out to the gardens to find them yourselves."
The Pandavas exchanged amused glances, their love for Draupadi evident in their every action. Bhima leaned in and whispered, "Don’t worry, Panchali, you’ll have your blueberries soon. And if the servants can’t find them, I’ll go pick them myself."
Draupadi’s heart warmed at their words. Surrounded by such love and care, she knew that no matter what she craved, the Pandavas would always ensure she had it.
