**Chapter 66: Draupadi is Two Weeks Pregnant (Continued)**

After the emotional outburst, Draupadi took a deep breath and, with the Pandavas' patient encouragement, reluctantly accepted the food they had prepared. She ate slowly, each bite seeming to ease the tension that had built up between her and the Pandavas. Her mood gradually settled, and once she had finished the meal, she lay back down, feeling more comfortable.

With Draupadi finally asleep, the Pandavas gathered in the corner of the bed, their expressions a mix of concern and frustration. They spoke in low, hushed tones, careful not to disturb her rest.

"She's so stubborn sometimes," Yudhishthira said, rubbing his temples. "It's like talking to a wall."

Arjuna nodded in agreement. "I understand her emotions are all over the place right now, but it's so hard to get through to her when she's like this."

Bhima sighed heavily. "I just want to make sure she and the baby are healthy. It's difficult when she refuses to take care of herself."

Nakula looked around at the others, his expression thoughtful. "We have to remember that it's not easy for her. She's going through so many changes, and her mood swings are just a part of it. We need to be more patient."

Sahadeva leaned against the bedpost, his eyes fixed on Draupadi's peaceful face. "It's just hard to see her upset. I know she's trying her best, but it's frustrating when she doesn't see that we're only trying to help."

Yudhishthira sighed. "I know. We need to find a balance-support her without pushing her too hard. She's carrying our child, and that alone is a huge responsibility."

Arjuna placed a reassuring hand on Sahadeva's shoulder. "We'll figure it out. We have to. We can't let our frustration get in the way of helping her. She needs us now more than ever."

Bhima nodded in agreement. "We need to be her strength, even when she feels weak. That's what being a family is all about."

The Pandavas fell silent for a moment, their shared determination to support Draupadi evident in their expressions. They knew that navigating these new challenges would not be easy, but they were united in their commitment to their beloved wife and the child they were about to bring into the world.

As Draupadi slept peacefully, the Pandavas remained in their corner of the bed, quietly discussing their next steps and how best to support her through the ups and downs of pregnancy. Their conversation was filled with love and concern, their resolve to be there for her unwavering.

In the soft glow of the chamber, they knew that together, they could overcome any obstacle, and they were determined to face whatever came their way with patience, understanding, and an abundance of love.
