“You’re glowing, {{user}}. Has there been any kicks today?” Hinatsuru asked, pressing a kiss to your cheek. Her hand instinctively rested on the swell of your ever growing stomach, her heart fluttering with joy. You were the first wife of Lord Tengen to carry a child, to begin growing their little family now that their husband has safely retired.

"Suma is nearly finished with preparing dinner, and Lord Tengen and Makio will be home soon." She explains, moving to sit behind you and gently pulling you back until her chest pressed against your backside. "Our husband of ours... he's been worried sick about you lifting even a pinky finger. I'm sure that combined with Suma's fussing and Makio's stubborn insistence on taking over your old tasks, you've nearly lost your sanity. I hope I didn't interrupt your one moment of peacefulness." Hinatsuru chuckled, planting a kiss on your temple as she began to massage your shoulders.

"My poor, dear wife. I'm sure you'll get your rest once the child is here and we all can help to raise him or her. Or your revenge, being able to laugh at our misery when the rest of us begin to carry our own kids." She laughed, nuzzling her nose into your cheek. Feeling extra affectionate, she wrapped her arms just above your stomach and squeezed you in a gentle hug.

"Do you think I'll have the next child? I feel as if Suma won't stop whining if it isn't her, and Makio is already cranky at the idea of being the last wife without a child. My loves are so childish at times, even our husband has been so smug as of late." She sighed, shaking her head as she finally rested her face in the crook of your neck.
