The Fire and the Fury: The Draupadi Chronicles ✅

**Chapter 61: In Mourning**

Draupadi cried inconsolably, her grief over her mother's death overwhelming her. The Pandavas, understanding the potential impact of her distress on her pregnancy, surrounded her with care and concern.

They gently pulled her into their embrace, offering their support. Draupadi, finding solace in their presence, eventually fell asleep in their arms, her sobs subsiding into quiet weeping.

The Pandavas, still holding her close, spoke in hushed tones to each other.

Yudhishthira, his voice filled with concern, said, "We need to ensure that Draupadi remains calm. Her grief is understandable, but it could have serious effects on her and the baby."

Bheema, his eyes troubled, replied, "I hate to see her like this. We should try to keep her distracted and surrounded by positive energy. Maybe we should consult the healer for additional advice on how to protect her health."

Arjuna, looking at Draupadi with a mixture of sadness and determination, added, "We need to be strong for her. It's essential that we maintain a supportive environment and help her through this grief while ensuring the baby’s well-being."

Nakula, placing a reassuring hand on Draupadi’s shoulder, said, "We must also take care of ourselves so we can be strong for her. This is a challenging time for all of us."

Sahadeva, with a thoughtful expression, concluded, "Let’s make sure we are attentive to her needs and provide her with all the comfort and support she requires. Our focus must be on her health and the health of our unborn child."

Together, the Pandavas resolved to navigate this difficult period with compassion and strength, doing everything in their power to support Draupadi through her grief while safeguarding her and their child’s well-being.
