Chapter 60 - 060: Rocky bed

Anaria woke the next morning feeling strangely tired. The first thing she noticed was her stomach. Her tummy was already out now, round and obvious beneath the loose clothes she wore. She placed a hand over it and smiled softly before calling out to the System.

[System, scan me.]

A familiar sensation passed through her body as the System completed its scan.

[Mother and child are stable]

[No immediate danger detected.]

Anaria relaxed.

[But some of your skin is experiencing changes caused by the current hormonal changes.]

Anaria looked down at herself. Some parts of her skin had changed, and although she noticed them,she would have gotten angry but she didn’t. She already knew her body was going through hormonal changes, so she simply accepted it.

"Fine," she murmured. "I can deal with that."

After sitting quietly for a moment, Anaria decided that today would be only about her and her baby. She wanted to spend the day arranging everything properly and making sure her child had everything needed.

She called the System again.

[System, bring out the baby packages you rewarded me with.]

The System responded immediately, and the packages appeared.

Anaria’s eyes brightened.

She carefully arranged everything inside her room, putting each item where she thought it would be useful. She moved things around several times, making sure everything looked organized and easy to reach.

But after looking over everything again, she noticed something was missing.

She frowned slightly "What am I forgetting?"

Anaria thought about it for a while before deciding that she needed to freshen up first. There was no point thinking about it while she was still tired and had not properly started her day.

She went to freshen up.

After she was done, Anaria left her room and went to find the boys cause she now know what she wanted.

She found Kenai, Rylan, and Kai working together. Seeing them like that made her smile. They were busy with their own work, but the moment they noticed her approaching, their attention shifted toward her.

"I have a request," Anaria said.

The three of them immediately looked at her.

"What do you need?" Kenai asked.

"We can help," Rylan added.

Kai nodded eagerly. "Just tell us."

Anaria smiled "I need a cradle for my baby, I mean a rocky bed in short"

The three men stared at her.

Kai was the first to react "A rock bed?"

Anaria blinked "It’s a cradle but you can call it rocky bed"

"A bed made from rocks?" Kai asked, genuinely confused.

Rylan looked thoughtful "I think I have heard of something like that before," he said. "But I want to hear your description first, just to be sure."

Kenai looked at her with equal confusion "Why can’t the baby be laid where we usually lay babies?" he asked. "We use sticks and leaves."

Anaria’s eyes widened "Hell No"

All three men went quiet.

"My child is going to receive premium things and premium care," she declared firmly. "I am not putting my baby on a bed of sticks and leaves."

She then gave them a full description of the bed she wanted, explaining how it should rock gently and have different layers.

The boys listened carefully.

When Anaria finished, she handed them her drawing.

The drawing was, to them, quite strange.

They stared at it for several moments.

Rylan tilted his head.

Kai looked at the drawing again.

Kenai remained silent, clearly trying to understand what exactly he was supposed to make.

Finally, they agreed to make it.

Anaria smiled brightly.

"Good boys."

The three men immediately looked at her.

She turned to leave, then stopped and looked back at them.

"Make it properly."

"Yes," Kenai answered.

"We will," Rylan promised.

Kai nodded quickly.

Anaria returned to her room, leaving the three men behind with the drawing.

They stared at it again.

None of them were completely sure what they were supposed to do.

Still, they began.

Their first attempt did not work.

Neither did the second.

They struggled several times to understand Anaria’s description and figure out how to create the rocking movement while keeping the bed safe.

But they refused to give up.

Later, after carefully working through the design again, they finally managed to make it.

It did not rock as much as Anaria had described, but it was still a good bed.

They had also made the layers with feathers so the baby would have something soft to lie on.

Satisfied with their work, they brought the bed to Anaria.

She looked at it quietly then she smiled.

"You really tried."

She walked toward them and kissed each of them on the cheek.

The three men immediately blushed.

Anaria smiled at their reactions "Thank you."

She looked at the bed once more before turning back toward them "You should continue what you were doing. I want to rest now."

They hesitated.

None of them seemed willing to move away from her.

Anaria noticed and smiled.

"You can stay if you want to."

That was enough, they immediately surrounded her like little kids

Anaria looked at the three of them for a moment, her heart feeling warm at the sight.

Then she smiled softly and returned to her bed.

She was already tired, and after everything she had done that morning, she only wanted to rest for a while.

She settled down comfortably, while Kenai, Rylan, and Kai remained nearby.

For a little while, Anaria simply closed her eyes and rested, content that her baby was surrounded by care even if the rocking bed had taken the boys several attempts to understand.

She glanced toward the bed again before closing her eyes. It was not exactly what she had imagined, and it certainly did not rock as smoothly as she had wanted, but the effort behind it mattered to her. They had listened to her strange request, struggled with the drawing, tried again, and still made something for their baby. That alone made her happy. She pulled the blanket over herself, resting one hand over her stomach. Knowing the baby was safe and that the boys were close by made it easier for her to relax.
