OMG!!!

Over 100K views. I am over the moon. Thank you so much guys.

And have you seen MewGulf Candy Exclusive? Gulf's sunflower and bunny pin?

I am dead, guys. So cute.

And Mew's "So far".

They are perfect for each other.

My stupid heart won't stop! Sigh!

I am sorry I cannot give you anything more than these bonus chapters. I want to write but I cannot find the time. Today is the day of assignment submission and guess what I am doing?

And even that is not enough. Hope everything calms down and I can write as freely as I want.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Gulf and Mew look dashing in their yellow attire for this flower festival. It is an outdated custom for couples to wear the colours that resemble the colours of the flowers that reminds the husbands of their wives.

They can hear groans of their friends when Mew hugs Gulf close as the playful bunny sways side to side mimicking a sunflower.

"The sunflowers are cute but you are cuter." Mew rubs his lips all over his wife's soft cheeks and Gulf goes all shy but nods with red ears and a big smile.

"I know... kekeke..."

Mew chuckles; when he thinks Gup can never be cuter, he does something like that.

"Tharn stop chewing your shirt, baby." Gulf says and the toddler scowls at him.

"Mama, choo..."

"I am not chewing." Gulf says.

"Choo... mmmm... bluu..."

Gulf grumbles and stares at his younger son who walks away with wobbly legs; no doubt to pester Thorn or drag Max to trouble.

Mild and Siwat joins them in pastel green, handing them Maxie to hold.

"This is third pants this evening! If he pees once more, I am letting him walk around everywhere dangling his business. Let them make fun of Baby Maxie, shame shame."

Maxie is busy sucking his fingers one by one and Mew is confused.

"Got hold of our secret honey stash. If he is not pooping for days, I am going to let him suffer through constipation." Mild growls mockingly and the baby scowls at Mew.

"Hey, what did I do?!" Mew asks his wife and everyone including Mew himself knows the kids consider him a major sucker in giving out punishments.

"Maxie, you have to tell mae if you want to pee. You cannot just pee on your pants."

"Pee?" Max asks cutely and Mild cannot stop himself from smiling.

"No pee." Mild kisses his son's cheek as Gulf gently sets down the boy and he waddles off to Tharn.

War is running late and they may or may not know what this is about. It is high time; you know to give his boyfriend peace of mind.

"War might be late." Gulf says, tying Mild's corset shirt and helping with jacket. "I must say you look really good. I did not know you could pull of black and pastel green."

"Really, Sat? I look good in everything."

"Your ugly ass usually makes everything horrible." Gulf shots back and there they go smacking each other's hands until their husbands pull them apart.

"Now we know why War does not want to marry his boyfriend." Siwat grumbles under his breath and Mew sighs.

"He is pregnant. I wish they would, before the child comes. Shh... they are here. Stop talking." Mew clears his throat.

"You are the one who is talking, Phi." Mild whispers before hugging War tight. "Blue brings the colour of your eyes, dear."

"We actually have a news." War says smiling and the wives jumps up and down in excitement. "I said yes."

Mew finally understands why an announcement of engagement is a huge deal. He hugs War's boyfriend so tight, he wonders if he has broken a rib or two.

"Done being stupid, huh?" Siwat gives the beaming man two hard smacks on the back.

"Hey he turned me down so many times I lost count after three. But I get it. Better late than never." The man says with a sigh and the men do understand. "And about understanding, I am dropping the co-leadership of our Four Lands business. I... I have to be here with him. He says it is okay but..."

Mew nods earnestly. "I think I can pitch in... one month, right? I will discuss with Tua-eng but he will not refuse."

"I was actually thinking about Meyud. His going to be in-laws will be impressed."

Mild's brother has been a valuable asset and has shown remarkable skills in business deals. Since, half the negotiation is done already, they can hand over the responsibility without much risk.

And it is not like they cannot afford the loss if Meyud turned into a dimwit overnight.

"I appreciate that." Siwat says. "His fiancée's aristocratic relatives do not find this alliance a good match."

The Flower Ceremony starts and their wives are going to get their mind blown off when they get their gifts.

Gulf and Mild jumps around with excited squeals upon receiving the acceptance letter of visit by their most favourite concert band. They do not know what War received except it is a piece of paper that made him sniffle and then wail hugging his hubby.

'Hormones' Mild mouths to the husbands and they all roll their eyes.

They got their fair share of drama and music of hormones.

Mew smiles thinking of tomorrow.

They are going to visit Ja and First. He cannot wait to meet his little nephew. Being dad is one thing and being an uncle... a fun uncle is different.

Is it really?

This is his first time being an Uncle and Ja says it is the best feeling ever. Now he gets to feel it too.

His little brother has become a dad. Who knew he had it in him!

Mew smiles some more when Thorn comes running to them screaming 'thirsty'.

"Maybe you should stop running around so much." Gulf scowls when Thorn gulps a large glass of water in one go.

"More." Thorn pants and shoves the glass in the direction of War but Gulf takes hold of the small hand before connecting to War's tummy.

"Careful, son, there is a baby sleeping inside."

Thorn looks in confusion. "Baby in tummy?"

He gently wraps his hands around War and keeps his head on the tummy as if to hear 'the baby' breathing.

"Again?" Thorn asks and the adults smiles.

"Yes."

"Oh mae, Thorn has lots of babies now."

Adults laughs but Thorn tries to count all his babies but loses in the midst when he sees blinking stones on War's dress.

"He is such a dad with responsibilities of too many kids at this tender age." Mild adds, wiping his tears.

Thorn is oblivious to the mirth surrounding him and almost plucks the shiny stones off but a hand pulls him back before he can. He pouts at P'Win who warns him off with his eyes.

"Maxie peed." Win says to Mild and the mother whines before going in search of his son.

Mew does not show it much but he is so excited for Ja. Parenthood is the best thing that has happened to them and he wants that for his brother.

He smiles some more when he sees mothers running around collecting the kids to get the painting done.

Gulf looks at him in annoyance and starts waving his hand for him to join.

"Hold him." The Empress practically throws little Tharn to his hand and hunts down Thorn before aggressively changing the clothes of the boy. "How do you tip the whole bowl of chip-dips to your lap, Thorn?!"

"I don't know mae... I was eating and..."

Mew laughs and Tharn mimics him.

Yup.

Cannot wait to see his little nephew grow up just like these adorable yappers.

He shakes his head as Nong Mild throws away Max's pants and demand the artist to draw the baby with his little wee out.

"If he is going to be this way, I am going to make him regret forever." Mild scowls before sitting next to Siwat but Max is giggling obliviously at his own nakedness.

San, Thorn and Win sits in front of their parents and Mew takes a deep breath as his family slowly calms down. The poor artist can now draw and paint.

Ja has never missed a flower festival with his Petal but damn is he happy to miss this one.

Happiness is not even close to what he is feeling.

Despite the crowd in his palace his eyes are searching for only one person who he has to show and prove his paternity.

He has become a father. Father of his true love's child.

There!

The announcement of the arrival of his brother makes him so excited that he almost forgets the Regal Protocols.

"You bloody nitwit!" Mew hollers and picks his brother up by his thighs.

"Put me down! Stop! It is humiliating!" Ja can hear the surprised silence, ironically.

Not many knows he is the brother of the Emperor and they both think it is better not to disclose. More power to them that way.

Hell, his Petal only knew about it after sometime and god, did he have to grovel at First's feet.

It does not matter.

After being so sceptical about pregnancy, his wife has gone through all of it because of the trust they have for each other.

He thought his Regal Podchai would be the only son he would have.

Thank Moon Goddess for all her blessings.

Mew finally drops Ja back to the ground with two hard affectionate pats on his back.

"Dad, huh?" Mew asks. His eyes filling up. Ja does not even bother to hide his and wipes his eyes with a sniffle.

"Y... yeah. I have a son."

Thorn wanders around until he bumps to his uncle's knee and looks up. "Where is my baby?"

Ja laughs. "In a few moments, kiddo."

Thorn nods and wiggles his forefinger. "Make it fast. I have to tell him some things."

Mew shakes his head but Gulf saves him the trouble by calling the little lion cub back.

"Wanna?" Ja asks his brother and he does not know why he is anxious. He has made a little perfect living being with his Petal and... he needs approval. Why, he does not know.

"You kidding?" Mew smacks Ja gently. "I cannot wait. I could not even sleep yesterday. I had to hide under the blanket because Gulf kept pestering me to sleep."

Mew follows the excited and nervous father to the birthing chamber.

"He is okay, right?" Mew asks worriedly.

"More than okay! He is amazing, perfect and our son is too."

Ja smiles, then slowly opens the door with a knock.

"Darling, Petal... look who is here."

Despite their rocky start, Mew is so attached to First now. He might be able to tone down it a bit all the other times but now...

... Mew cannot stop smiling at him with love and pride.

"No... No... lie down." Mew rushes to First when the new mother wiggles in the bed to sit up straight.

First smiles at Mew, a bit tired and pale but he seems so happy.

For the first time ever Mew bends down and pecks First's forehead. "How are you, nong?"

"Fuzzy in the head... but I am okay."

"Drink more bitterwood juice. Or that is what Gulfie says." Mew whispers and then gulps when First takes a small bundle beside him and gives him to hold.

Ja leaves the room with a smile when he hears commotion outside the room.

Mew peeks inside with wonder and unexpectedly the child is awake.

"I thought you would be sleeping, little one."

The big eyes of his little nephew finally settles down on him and Mew cannot stop smiling if he tried.

"Hey there, buddy. I am Mew and I am your uncle."

The baby stares at him with a soft hum.

"Look at him, already talking to me." Mew says and First smiles so happily.

Mew gently but firmly holds the wee baby in his one hand and picks up the metal band from his pocket.

"This is the symbol of Royalty. You, my beloved nephew, are a Royal. All your cousins wear them and so should you."

The baby blinks twice when Mew puts the huge band on his chubby wimply hand, then the calm face scrunches and he wails. 'The bloody thing is cold'.

"Oh... oh..." Mew slowly rocks the baby and presses a kisses on the tiny head. "Do not cry. It is okay. Mae is here."

He places the baby back to Mama's chest with a soft apology to the crying child.

"I do not tell you this enough." Mew covers the mother in a soft blanket. "You are family; my family."

Mew takes the Royal Pendant in a chain he has gotten for First.

"Now there is no going back. You belong to us forever." Mew says to First and he wipes away the spilled tears. "Your husband is going to kill me for making you both cry."

First giggles at that and Mew looks at the baby who is suckling the air.

"Young man is hungry, seems like." Mew says and the mother smiles again. "I will go. Drink some immi and do not cry, much. You hear?" Mew rubs the bald head of the child.

Yet he stares some more.

"Have you decided the name yet?"

"Yes, Zeikhen."

Mew is dumbfounded. "I... You do not have to. I only suggested it because..."

"No, Phi... we loved it so much and Ja wanted your suggestion. And Zeikhen, the God of future is perfect for my son. I cannot tell you how it is fitting without coming off as overly superstitious."

Mew blinks with a gulp.

"Well, I match my attires with the auspicious colours for the day. You are in the right place." Mew says to lighten the mood.

First laughs but the baby whimpers crankily.

"Going!" Mew raises his palms. "Give him milk. I am going to get the dad. See you soon, Zeikhen. Cannot wait to show you how to ride a horse."

First shakes his head and Mew leaves with a skip in his steps.

"Your wife is ready to breastfeed your child." Mew throws his hand around Ja and the man beams.

"I will be back soon, guys." Ja quickly turns around to join his family.

"Hey, where are you going?" War's ex-husband asks, knowing quite well where Ja is going. "I thought we were catching up."

Mew will remain cool. He has promised his wife he will not be the one to cause a scene.

Ja without missing a beat answers the shallow man. "I can tell you but you will not understand."

Ja leaves with an affectionate bump on Mew's shoulder.

"Seriously? What is he going to do? Shake his own boobs to make milkshake?" The man arrogantly asks with a holler but no one joins him.

Mew knows it is his intimidating presence that is stopping them or they will also laugh with the insensitive joke.

"Well, clearly Ja knows you would not be able to understand." Mew states. Sometimes keeping their brotherhood, a secret is so annoying. He could have put this man in prison or cut down his salary increment for making fun of the Emperor's family.

"Come on. A baby is popped out. The work of the man is done. Everyone is so... I do not know." The man makes a vague motion.

"Clearly." Mew says.

"No offense, Emperor but everybody has a role and they have to stick to it."

Mew shrugs. "Yup. I am happy, you are not the one to fill in the role of father of War's child. The kid deserves better."

Mew knows he will lose the temper if he keeps it up. So, he moves away from the circle to some other friends who are waving for him.

Jung has come while Tae is back home taking care of Jimin. Apparently the birthing period of Necromancers is double the normal ones.

Huh? For them it might be the normal.

"I thought you hated that guy." Jung gives him some salted cold water.

"Political diplomacies, JK and I do not... hate... him."

"Yup and your face agrees with you."

Mew sighs and drinks the water. "Promised my wife, I will not set him on fire."

"Aaah... did not see that coming." Jungkook says sarcastically. "Well, I will not stay for lunch. Promised them I would join them. Jimin has been acting up."

"It is not acting up, J. He is pregnant. He now has the feelings of your babies too. They need attention. Give it to them."

"I know... but... it is so difficult sometimes. He cried last night, saying I do not love him anymore."

"If it makes any better..." Mew smiles. "It will only turn worse over time and you guys have twice the time too."

"You assho..."

Mew moves away from the punch with a snort and groans when War's ex-husband corners him.

"What do you mean, War's kid?"

"War's child, his baby, his offsp..."

"No! I know what that means, Emperor! Do you mean...?"

"That he is pregnant?" Oh, is that fear and helplessness he sees? "Yup..."

"You are joking... right?" The man looks devastated and trying very hard to shrug the information as a bad dream.

"Nope."

"But he is not married! His parents will kill him for... the boyfriend business is against their belief."

"On my watch? They would not even see him to hurt him." Mew knows his smile is sinister but he enjoys this man breaking bit by bit. "And it is not boyfriend business; it is fiancé. I am officiating their marriage next moon cycle. You are not invited."

"Tell me this is a joke." The man grabs his hand. "Please... Emperor. He cannot be pregnant with... nobody other than me. We... In an year I would be the admiral and... then I can be..."

"You two are divorced. War is in love. You are remarried."

Mew frowns and points out the 'minor' problems in the man's plan.

"But... but... it makes no sense. My mother says if we wait enough he will come back to us. His parents are against our divorce. They will not..."

Mew cringes how this man reminds him of himself.

Thanks to Gulf, he now can see the cruelty in scheming with other people's lives.

"Surprise! War is his own person now. His fiancé has wealth more than your whole families combined. Not that War needs it. He has a pretty decent job that pays well for him and his baby. Not that his fiancé will allow it; just saying."

The man kneels down to the floor slowly.

"He is..."

"We value our spouses, Navy Commander. They are fortress of our life. That is where we go back. War deserves being the centre of his own family. Thankfully, his fiancé knows what family means. I wish you too. You are remarried. You have a wife. Build your family now."

"But... he is not War."

"No, he is not."

Mew leaves the distraught man on the floor and rushes to his Gulf.

He finds his wifey soothing a crying Tharn.

"I spanked him for trying to wake up Zee. He was going to smack the baby."

"Zee?" Mew asks taking Tharn from the mother. "Shh... it is okay buddy."

"Zeikhen is a long name for a small adorable baby. So I called him Zee and First likes it."

Mew smiles.

Thorn comes running holding a sweet treat. "Here Bub. Stop crying now. You cannot smack the sleeping babies. They cry and you cannot make them cry. They already cry a lot without our smacks."

Mew laughs and Gulf tries to keep his composure but ends up laughing too.

Tharn calms down when his big brother is near. He pops the treat in his mouth and then follows his brother to get in to another set of troubles.

"Gulf?" Mew calls and his wife quickly cups his face.

"What is wrong? Why do you look so scared?"

"Na... just some things."

"Well, what is it?"

"I could have lost you and..."

Gulf sighs, glaring at Mew.

"... I could have done anything but you would have stopped being mine."

Mew looks at his Navy Commander chugging down bottles after bottles of alcohol.

"Come on. Let me feed you. Then you go play with our kids. Tharn wants to see how to throw daggers. I will allow it this time... also maybe help Win with his shoe ties. The kid says he got it but..."

"I cannot imagine a single second of life without you, my Gulf." Mew whispers.

"Good, because then I will be really mad." Gulf yanks him to the dining area and the worries fade away.

Of course Gulf is the fortress of his life.
