Chapter 393: Baby Names
The news of Mineah’s pregnancy was something that should be spread immediately. Of course, that wouldn’t happen until the couple were both back in Valcrez to do it themselves. As such, the moment they were free, they returned home to deliver the news to the Queen Mother.
As expected, the older woman was ecstatic because of it.
"It finally happened?! Oh, I’m so glad!" Queen Mother Rania shouted in joy as she held onto Mineah’s hands. "I can’t believe it’s finally happening!"
"I know, Mother," Mineah awkwardly smiled, somehow feeling like her happiness was being overshadowed by the older woman’s joy. Not that she minded, but she didn’t think she would be this happy. "I can’t believe it too."
"We should go out and celebrate!" Rania firmly declared, her eyes shining brightly from the news alone. "I can probably throw it all together in an hour or so... Maybe even faster if I can rope everyone else in."
"Uhm... Mother? We can always schedule it for a different day," Nikolai chuckled, his own excitement making it hard for him to speak without smiling. "We’re not in a hurry to do anything. Maybe-"
"But where’s the fun in that?" the Queen Mother firmly protested. "By the time we can throw a celebration party properly, the news of Mineah’s pregnancy has already spread! We can’t have that without a proper announcement, right?"
Mineah couldn’t help but raise a brow at the surprisingly logical reason for such a slapdashed celebration party. Again, not that she minded it one bit. In fact, she was having just as much fun as her mother-in-law at the moment with how quickly things were spiraling out of control. It almost felt like having a baby in her just kicked things into high gear, with everyone around her doing their best to show their happiness for such an amazing development.
"You’re... actually right," Nikolai sighed. "Still, we can probably do that tomorrow-"
