It was a surprise to find Erika awake this early in the morning. And that I ended falling sleeping much longer. When I woke up only Elizabeth was cuddling with me, Eleanora was taking a warm bath before moving downstairs. It seemed that yesterday's battles... Were indeed quite draining for my body and mind. Though after this good sleep, I do feel much more refreshed.
"Muhh... A bit more..." Elizabeth cuddled with me in bed, her golden hair covering my face. The smell of flowers and aromatic herbs from her shampoo was almost intoxicating. I wanted to hug and embrace her more, but it was time to wake up.
"Come on now, Elizabeth. It is morning already, let's get up." I said. "I think Erika is preparing us some breakfast already." I stealthily moved my hands towards her belly, it was slightly puffy today. She was gaining a bit of weight, but I didn't mind at all. I grasped that little belly, and she slowly woke up.
"H-Hey, don't touch my belly... I'm a bit fat, huh?" She groaned. "Ah! B-Blake, what hour is it?!" She sat down immediately, noticing the sun was already high in the skies.
"Probably past ten." I yawned. "Good morning."
"G-Good morning." She smiled cutely. "Hahh... I can't believe we overslept! I think we are synched in this, huh?" She complained as she gave me a few kisses in my lips.
"I suppose so, but it's worth it if I get those kisses every morning." I caressed her head, giving her a slightly deeper kiss for a change.
"Hmm~ Ahh... B-Blake..." She blushed a bit. "That was really nice, actually... But why the sudden lovely kiss?"
"That was a small reward for having helped me so much yesterday." I thanked her. "Aside from the hammer, you can commission me anything you want later too. I'll make it for you."
"Ooh, r-really?! You're the best!" She got really happy. "I wonder what I should commission then, hehe..." She got really cocky quite quickly.
"Perhaps a dress or a crown?" I wondered. "A crown would suit you, you do look like a princess or a queen."
"Hey, you're only going to make me fall for you if you call me princess and queen all the time!" She pouted a bit, kissing my neck as I stood up from the bed.
In between kisses, we washed our faces and greeted Eleanora that walked out of the shower looking rather relaxed.
"Good morning~ Hahh, I needed that calm and tranquil shower." She yawned, as she approached her beautiful lips towards mine for a morning kiss. "Mooch!"
My siblings and my parents were still asleep, apparently. They all slept very late. My parents drank a lot of alcohol and then I heard the two having a lot of fun in bed, I suppose they still got vigor for a few more children along the way. And my siblings ate too much and slept too late as well.
Well, there was a huge feast right in front of us though, Erika had cooked a lot of stuff for our breakfast, placing it over the table while moving around rapidly.
And there were cream puffs, freshly made, and still warm...
"Hm? Oh, Erika, you woke up early today." I spoke to her as she was bringing forth scrambled eggs with fried wild boar bacon.
"A-Ah, good morning!" She smiled adorably, quickly running towards me with the sizzling food. "I made you breakfast!"
"Erika, watch out!" I ended having to catch her, as she tripped down and sent the eggs flying.
"Uwaah!" She cried, quickly landing on my arms. The eggs were captured by an invisible field of gravity I conjured with my Demonic Eye of Gravity. "S-Sorry... I was too distracted."
"You truly were!" Elizabeth sighed. "What demon possessed you to want to make so much food, Eri?"
"Hahaha, well, it does looks really tasty. You're such a good cook, Erika~!" Eleanora seemed to be eyeing the food.
"There, be more careful now." I kissed her cute cheeks and then placed the eggs and bacon over the table. "Thank you for making breakfast, it looks really tasty."
"Hehehe, I made it especially for you... And well, everyone." She smiled. "I wanted to spoil you a bit, you work too hard sometimes, Blake! Now gimme my morning kissies! Mooch, mooch, mooch!" She attacked me with a hundred kisses.
At the end, I called my parents and my siblings, and with Erika's mom, we all joined on a big breakfast. Little Saphira woke up late but joined us too. And as we chatted and devoured this amazing feast, I noticed my Grimoire shining brightly with a rainbow aura.
