Chapter 2088 Safely Endangered (Part 4)
"I'm fine. Unlike Kami no one kissed me or touched my abs. Most people went for a quick hug or a handshake." Lith was actually worn out as well, but he did have it easier than his wife and he knew how important that moment was for them.
"Come here, then." Rena embraced him. "Kamila, if you need advice or company, I'm here for you. If you ever need a babysitter, feel free to ask Nalrond because I'm done changing diapers for at least a decade."
"Don't listen to her." Tista said. "Whenever you need help, you just have to ask."
"I'm going to be an uncle again!" Aran said. "I can't wait to teach them magic like you did with me. Even better, we can do it together!
"Can I please be an aunt this time, uncle Lith? Being a cousin is lame and I'm sick of Aran pulling rank on me. I'm old enough to have someone to boss around." Leria asked.
"It doesn't work that way, but sure. We can make an exception for you." Lith chuckled making her scream with joy. "But only if you promise to be a kind aunt and take care of them. We don't need a second Aran."
"Hey!" Aran pouted.
"I promise, uncle Lith." She said with a radiant smile before going to Kamila and begging for a hug.
'Gods if I could use a drink right now.' She inwardly grumbled.
"Under any other circumstance I'd offer myself to be your midwife, but compared to Salaark and the Great Mother I'm but a novice healer." Faluel shook Lith's hand and offered Kamila an herbal tea, almost moving her to tears.
"I can't believe that the day has come when I'm not envious of you for being first at something." Quylla chuckled. "I'm so happy for you."
"If you need a babysitter, you can count on me." Friya said. "Just give me a call and I'll send Nalrond to you. I have him on speed dial."
"I'm not your property. You can't lend my ass around." The Rezar grumbled a bit but even being used like a bargaining chip didn't ruin his mood. "If you need a babysitter, you can count on me.
"I'll drop the baby on Friya and Warp away before she can brag about being the master of space."
"I'm really happy for you, Lith." Phloria hold his hand tenderly but didn't move forward. "I feel that even though having a child isn't part of one of your meticulous plans it's exactly what you needed.
"Someone who is exactly like you and who you can love unconditionally."
She took her hand back and offered it to Kamila.
"You are a lucky woman. Never forget that."
"I know it and there's no day that passes without me thanking the gods for their blessings." Kamila said, feeling the happiness in Phloria's mana tainted by sadness and envy.
