Heaven, Earth, Me

Kali and the rest looked at their pouty daughters and smiled awkwardly. Skye asked loudly. "Why can't I see Mommy!? I want to see Mommy!"

Dawn said, her young face full of adorable seriousness. "Mommy is doing something important, Big Sister."

Skye harrumphed and pointed to the side. "But today is Big Sister Estrella's birthday!" Skye looked at Evelyn and exclaimed. "I, um…" She frowned for a few seconds and looked at Evelyn. "Mama, what was the word?"

Evelyn blinked, confused. "Which word?"

Skye gestured incoherently with her words. "That… um. The word like ask?"

Evelyn realized where her daughter was going and answered. "Demand?"

Skye's golden eyes lit up, and she nodded, smiling brightly. "Thank you, Mama!" Then, becoming serious again, she shouted cutely. "I demand Mommy!" 

Evelyn was speechless. She didn't know whether to praise her daughter or smack her butt. 

Aurelia spoke softly while obediently sitting on Angel's lap. "Mommy loves us the most, so she will come. She is probably busy."

Skye pointed at Aurelia and stuttered. "W-Whose side are you on, little sister!?" 

Aurelia shrunk a bit, hiding behind her book. But after a few seconds, Angel nudged her sides, and she poked out her blonde head, showing her bright and intelligent golden eyes that they all shared. "I am on big sister's side. I want her to be happy."

The personal maids of each child looked at the interaction with baffled expressions. They'd seen that education started really early and was very demanding. Still, the children were two years old. Other two-year-olds they'd seen in the past were still eating their snots and learning to talk!

Andrea placed Dawn on her lap and laughed. "Honestly, I love how intelligent they are, but they are growing a bit too fast."

Angel nodded a few times and hugged Aurelia as if she were a teddy bear, squeezing her into her ample bosom. "I think the same! My baby can be a baby for longer!" Then, Angel blinked. "Oh. Is this how Yasenia feels about me?"

The rest of the girls almost choked. 'Only now, you realize!?'

Meanwhile, Aurelia didn't know what to do when her mother's oversized breasts snuggled her entire body. 'I can't read…'

Cecile caressed the plumage of her daughter and said calmly. "Don't worry; Yasenia is going to be here soon."

Katarina lifted her dragon head and cried cutely. Her own golden eyes looked eager. "Rawr!"

Kali laughed. "As expected, Yasenia has become the favorite."

Evelyn snorted. "What did you expect? At the end of the day, they are our daughters. Do you think that the creature that managed to make us love her so crazily won't take our daughter's heart away just like their mothers?"

Kali coughed. "No ince… Ahem, that word."

Evelyn raised her eyebrow defiantly. "As if I would let her steal my place. We already have quite limited time with her. I am not letting anyone else come inside and take more of her time!"

Andrea smiled with twitching lips. "Isn't that the wrong reason…"

Evelyn snorted. "It is enough reason! Also, aren't Yasenia's genetics… super powerful? If you understand, you understand. But she would not have any biological problems!"

Andrea couldn't really deny it, so she didn't say anything. "You win."

Skye grinned widely. "Mama wins!"

Dawn pouted and looked at Andrea. "Why did Mama lose?"

Both new mothers didn't know how to answer. Thankfully for them, the door opened, and when everyone looked over, their eyes brightened.

Yasenia was welcomed to a sea of gazes that felt like the savior had arrived, and her eyebrows twitched twice. "U-Um, I am here?"

Skye shouted, raising her arms. "MOMMY!" 

Yasenia saw her darlings running toward her, with two of them flying over the others. Seeing the five cuties running toward her, she couldn't help but laugh happily. Still, she kept her eyes on the one who didn't come to greet her.

The dragoness caught all her dears and used her tail and arms to pamper them. "How are my babies doing?"

All five children started talking and rawring together, but Yasenia understood all of them and answered slowly, one by one. After a few moments, she looked at Estrella with a big smile and asked. "What, is my big baby feeling pouty?"

Estrella, sitting on Tatyana's lap, nodded softly. "Mommy didn't come to wake me up…"

The dragoness sighed. "I am sorry, baby. I was finishing the present I wanted to give all of you, so I didn't have time." The dragoness smiled and looked down at the five little darlings clingling on her. "How about we go sit down and eat the birthday longevity noodles? I also prepared a few cakes~."

The five children dispersed and went toward their mothers while Yasenia looked at Kaleina and beckoned her. Kaleina knew where this was going, and while she felt a bit embarrassed, she was a bit more accustomed than the first time. 

Yasenia sat on her chair and then pulled Kaleina onto her lap, tightly hugging her from behind and leaning forward to give her cheek a kiss. "So, how is my big baby doing?"

Kaleina blushed happily and falsely complained. "I am not a baby anymore!"

The dragoness laughed. "Even if you are older than the stars, you will always be my baby, Kaleina."

Kaleina giggled and rubbed her face with Yasenia's. Then, she asked. "What did you prepare for Little Sister Estrella, Mommy?" 

The dragoness lifted an eyebrow. "Oh? Feeling mischievous? You know that presents are a secret until they are revealed, right?"

Kaleina smirked. "Well~, but I am not the one receiving Mommy's present~, so it doesn't matter~."

Yasenia grinned. "Oh~? But you are~."

Kaleina blinked twice, confused. "Eh?"

The dragoness poked her nose and laughed gently. "So, be patient until Mommy reveals it."

Then, the dragoness looked right, and she smiled. "How are you doing, Little Flame?" 

Flame nodded and answered softly. "I am doing well, Aunty Yasenia." 

The dragoness raised her eyebrow. "What, not approaching for your daily kiss?"

Flame coughed, blushing a bit in happiness, and she obediently approached. The dragoness planted a short kiss on her cheek and laughed. "Better~. You are part of our family, Flame. Don't hold back with me."

Flame nodded, her eyes full of gratefulness and love. "Thank you, Aunty Yasenia."

Yasenia smiled, satisfied, and asked. "By the way, how is the blacksmith shop you've opened? Did anyone try to bully you?"

Flame laughed. "I don't think anyone dares to bully me with your backing, Aunty Yasenia."

The dragoness snorted. "As it should be. See if someone dares to touch you wrongly. Their entire family will disappear from this world in one night."

Kaleina nodded sagely. "Mommy can do that, indeed." 

Flame gave Kaleina a reproachful look, making the young girl poke her tongue out playfully. 

Tatyana cleared her throat, garnering the attention of the people present. Those that were there were just family people. The maids, the children, the girls, and a few relatives or really close people like Coraline, Loberon, Tengliu, and more. 

After her battle with Yasenia, Tengliu's past was completely forgotten and forgiven. The girls were very welcoming of her, making the Harpy Matriarch feel that everything had been worth it. 

The feast went really well, and everyone had the chance to taste Yasenia's cooking one more time. Lately, Yasenia's invites received the nickname of the best gastronomic experience in Distancia. 

Tatyana spoke. "For Estrella's third birthday, there are two special things. First thing, it is my present, or, well, a bit more than a present, I would say."

Estrella saw Tatyana wave her hand, and Alaia walked forward, placing a big box in front of her. Everyone was curious about it. Yasenia didn't know about this as well, so she couldn't help but try to guess.

Suddenly, she remembered. "Oh? Is it about that?"

Tatyana looked at the dragoness and smiled. "That's right."

Yasenia laughed. "I see."

Estrella looked at the box curiously and asked Tatyana. "What is this, Mommy?"

Tatyana kissed her hair and smiled. "How about you open it?"

Estrella blinked a few times, looking between the box and her mother. Eventually, she nodded. "Okay!"

So, the little child slowly stood up on the chair, supported by Tatyana, and started attacking the big package that she placed on the table. Seeing that the present was enveloped in many layers, Estrella's little sisters became a bit restless. 

Kaleina, knowing her little sisters well, used her energy to move the box and place it on the ground. "Let's go, little sisters! Attack!"

All the little girls laughed and went at it, helping Estrella open the big box.

Everyone looked on with smiles, and eventually, the package came off with one of Estrella's pulls. "Ha! Done!"

The adults looked with puzzled faces, and Kaleina muttered. "A… Jellyfish?"

Estrella blinked a few times, looking at the floating jellyfish with wide eyes. "So pretty!"

The Jellyfish had gorgeous light around it, looking like its body was filled with a beautiful nebula. 

Yasenia explained. "When we were returning from the sea, we caught a giant Jellyfish fighting a shark-like monster. We felt their battle after the aura that this little one gave off, who at the time was nothing but an egg."

Tengliu asked, impressed. "You noticed the child before a battle between two peak-level deep ocean monsters?"

The dragoness nodded. "We did. Because of that, we've tested this little one in one of the rituals as well. We were surprised to see that her bloodline was at the limit of what Distancia Bloodlines can go. Not only that, but the potential is nothing to scoff at. She is, quite literally, a creature with the potential to become a [Star Beast]."

Coraline asked. "[Star Beast]?"

Yasenia nodded. "Her potential is that of creatures who roam the universe. The beasts that live outside worlds, roaming in space, are usually called [Star Beasts]. All of them have extremely high potential, most being able to grow to large enough sizes to swallow stars and worlds alike. [Star Core Beast Realm] is almost a certainty for them as long as they live long enough."

Coraline asked with a stunned expression. "Wait, Star Core was the realm equal to…"

Tatyana smiled. "Mine. That little Jellyfish, if nurtured properly, can reach my current cultivation realm and even beyond."

Everyone sucked in a cold breath. 

Estrella poked at the crystal a few times, and the jellyfish gently floated toward her finger, squishing its body against the glass. Estrella's face lit up, and she burst into giggles. "I like you!"

The Jellyfish jiggled adorably as if reciprocating the feelings. 

Tatyana told Estrella. "Little Light, from now on, this cute one will be your companion, okay? Treat her well."

Estrella nodded seriously. "I will!"

The other children looked at the Jellyfish, and Yasenia asked. "Do you all want one? We can get you one for your birthdays if you want them~."

To her surprise, they shook their heads, not looking too interested. Yasenia didn't ask why and smiled. Still, she had an inkling. Her children were very clever, so they probably noticed that Estrella was having a few issues with cultivation. 

So, in their minds, they decided to let Estrella be the only one with a "pet" so that Estrella had her own thing going. 

While this thought seemed too complicated for children, in their heads, it was more similar to something like 'I want Big Sister to have something special.'

Yasenia then commented. "And that's not all. Today, we have another big surprise!"

Everyone looked at the dragoness, and Yasenia walked outside. "Follow me."
