New Life, New Task: I'll Be A Mom Then!!!

Leon was stumped by Little Han's question.

'Why did he now pray instead?'

He was rendered speechless as he was unable to refute his son's words. Days ago, didn't he teach Little Han how to pray?

He even told him that praying is when Little Han wants to talk to the heavens. Whether he is happy or sad he can pray and tell his thoughts to the heavens.

Now the innocent Little Han was reminding him to apply what he had taught himself.

"Son is right…" Leon smiled as he planted a kiss on Little Han's forehead. "Thank you for reminding daddy." He followed.

"Jiheehee…" Seeing his father smile and agree, Little Han giggled with contentment.

Then he waited for his parents to finish preparing for bed. Ever since he was taught how to pray, he would stubbornly wait for his mommy and daddy so that they could pray together.

This little stubbornness from his end became such a warm routine for the little family of three. Thus, Eli and Leon made sure that they finish early so that they can join Little Han in praying as early as possible.

"Lez pway!" When Little Han finally saw his mom and dad in pajamas ready to sleep, he rolled onto the bed excitedly and shouted.

Eli and Leon could only look at him helplessly as they went on his side.

Little Han knew the drill and sat on his legs on the bed and clasped his hands as he adorably closed his eyes.

Eli and Leon also assured the praying posture.

Little Han cutely opened one of his eyes to see if his mom and dad were ready to pray. When he saw that his mom and dad were ready, he smiled and started the prayer.

"Dwear Gweat One… Thayku for today. Johann played a lot!"

"Pweeze pwotect us to sweep (sleep)...pweeze also make mommy and daddy happi!"

"Thayku so much, Gwanpa Gweat One! Amen!"

Then he opened his eyes once again to see if his mom and dad would pray. When he saw Eli open her mouth, he closed his eyes again and determinedly clasped his hands as if he wanted to plead to the heavens to listen to his parent's prayer.

"Dear Great One, please guide us along the way. Keep my Little Han safe, strong and happy. Give Leon wisdom to do what he needs to do… Amen."

With that, it was Leon's turn to utter prayers, "Dear Creator, lead me where to go and guide me in every decision. Take me by the hand towards victory and help my family overcome these burdens ahead… Amen."

"Amen~~!!!" Little Han agreed happily as he heard his parents finish their prayers. Just like magic, his eyes fluttered as he stretched out his little body in a childish yawn.

"Good nighty Mommi, Daddi~~" Little Han mumbled as he hugged the pillows.

Leon and Eli gave him a good night kiss before they lay beside Little Han. Their hands covered his tiny body as they pulled the covers and slept.

The night peacefully came and went, and the morning hugged them with open arms.

Eli got up early to prepare for breakfast while Leon packed Little Han's things for today. Baobao and Rosea also got up and joined her along the way.

The adults instantly became busy, while Little Han obediently followed his father to the bathroom to take a bath.

Leon expertly bathed Little Han, selected the set of clothes he will be wearing for the day, and prepared the stuff his son needed when he was outside.

He did not forget to also take a dash of baby powder and spread it on Little Han's back, neck and chest area. "Now you are looking handsome and fresh!" Leon exclaimed as he looked at the freshly dressed Little Han.

"Hansum! Fwesh!" Little Han echoed.

Leon chuckled and carried his son to the kitchen, where the breakfast was already prepared.

"Let's eat, breakfast is ready…" Eli smiled at the two and gestured to them for lunch.

"Breakie!" Little Han happily sat on his chair and carried his own spoon and fork while excitedly waiting for Eli to put food in his bowl.

Soon Kayden joined breakfast as he was dressed and ready for the morning, by then everyone sat and ate in a lively manner seemingly viewing this moment as a brand new day.

Knock knock knock!

As they were about to finish their meal, they were interrupted by the sound of knocking at the door.

"I'll go and see…" Leon immediately stood up and gestured to them to carry on.

Since their cottage is situated in the Forgeworn Estate, a possible visitor must be from their family. As the head of the house, Leon took the initiative to stand up and see who was visiting.

He opened the door to see that it was Grandpa Andi coming along with two familiar lads behind him.

"Grandmaster… Good morning, please come inside everyone is talking about breakfast at the moment." Leon was surprised however, he kept a calm expression and very naturally hosted the visitors.

He also nodded at the two teenage lads who introduced themselves formally as he was still the Third Prince of the Empire.

"A pleasant morning Your Highness Third Prince, I am Calderon from the dragon clan and this is Elifas from the Silver Dew village. We humbly apologize for coming to you so abruptly." Calderon led the introduction.

"No worries, I have come to know that you were also with my son when we last visited the village. Come inside, join our breakfast." Leon nodded amiably at the two lads whom Little Han enthusiastically described when he went to narrate what he did while his parents were busy.

"Thank you for your hospitality." The lads nodded shyly.

Eli and Little Han were surprised to see the three visitors entering the kitchen. After energetically greeting them, Eli moved to prepare a set of utensils with them and soon the breakfast was finally done.

While they were taking breakfast, Grandpa Andi quickly gave them a word about why he was here with the two lads.

So after the breakfast was finished, Leon and Eli let Little Han go with Baobao and Rosea while they took the three into the living room. As for Kayden, he went ahead to check his laboratory in the Committee headquarters.

Grandpa Andi cleared his throat before looking at the young couple and giving his opening statement,

"As you know, the impending confrontation will come soon… Us, your elders were anxious about the three of you who will eventually part ways again…"

He could not help but sigh in his heart to see how much the two tried their best to become great people and wonderful parents at the same time.

"We, including His Majesty, thought of a lot of ways to help you… so to put it straightforwardly I am here to bring forth a suggestion." He continued.

Leon and Eli looked at each other and then at the visitors, although they somehow knew that Grandpa Andi's suggestion was connected to the two lads, they were still unsure.

"Well, we are thinking of Little Han to take refuge with the rest of the elven and dwarven family in the Green Wave Continent!"
