After Giving Birth, All My Beast Ex-Husbands Suddenly Want Me Back Chapter 36: Lively babies

"Alright, then I won’t touch it."

Leah looked at the smooth, beautiful fur. She really wanted to pet it, but she didn’t force the issue.

She had one of her beast husbands take out so yellow fruits. "Nina, these are fruits I brought for you. They’re really tasty."

"I brought at for you," Bibi said, taking out a large slab. "You’re pregnant—you should eat more."

"I brought so too. These are sweet fruits, also very good," Minnie added.

Nina accepted everything one by one. "Thank you. You’re all too kind."

"It’s our first ti visiting your ho—we should bring gifts," Leah said with a smile.

"Nina, what do you use to tie your hair?" Minnie asked enviously, looking at Nina’s neat bun. "It looks nice and holds really well. When I use vine grass, if I tie it tight it’s hard to undo, and if I tie it loose it always falls apart."

"Wait a mont."

Nina went inside and bought several different styles of hair ties and three wooden hairpins from Little Bun.

She placed them on the table and picked up a hair tie. "I use this. It’s called a hair tie. It’s very convenient. Take a look and see which ones you like—I’ll give them to you as return gifts."

She pointed to the wooden hairpins. "And these are called hairpins. They’re also very easy to use for tying hair. I’ll show you how in a bit."

The three females picked up the hair ties carefully, stretching them slightly. When they felt how elastic they were, their eyes lit up with curiosity and excitent.

They happily began choosing.

"Nina, I like both of these. Help pick one," Leah said, holding up a bow-shaped one and another with a small crystal.

"If you like both, I’ll give you both," Nina said with a smile. "Sa for you, Bibi and Minnie—take whichever ones you like."

"Thank you, Nina."

All three happily picked two or three each.

Once they had chosen, Nina began teaching them how to tie their hair.

She undid her own hair to demonstrate. "The simplest way is like this—gather your hair, slip the hair tie on, then twist it a few tis to secure it."

Then she gathered her hair again and twisted it up. "If you want a bun like the one I had earlier, just coil it like this and wrap the hair tie around a few tis."

The three watched attentively and followed along.

Next, Nina picked up a hairpin, undid her hair again, and demonstrated. "This one’s also simple. Wrap your hair a few tis, then slide the pin through like this."

Bibi touched Nina’s finished hairstyle and said in surprise, "It really works—and it feels very secure."

"It’s really sturdy. How did we never think of doing it this way?" Minnie said, touching Nina’s hair as well, full of envy. "And your hair is so soft and smooth. Mine feels like dry straw in comparison."

Nina smiled.

Minnie picked up a hairpin and tried tying her hair herself.

Bibi and Leah tried too. They fumbled at first, but after Nina guided them step by step a few tis, they quickly got the hang of it.

Leah removed the hairpin and retied her hair with a hair tie. Holding the pin, she asked, "Nina, is this made of wood?"

"Yes. It’s carved from wood. After shaping it, you just polish it smooth. In the future, you can ask your beast husbands to carve so for you too," Nina said.

"What about these hair ties?" Bibi asked. "Can we make them ourselves?"

"No, those won’t work. They need special materials, so you can’t really make them on your own," Nina replied.

All three looked a little disappointed, but they were still very happy with the ones Nina had given them.

After learning how to tie their hair, they began chatting casually.

"Ah!"

Mid-conversation, Nina suddenly covered her belly and cried out.

"Nina, what’s wrong?" Mino rushed over anxiously.

"The baby kicked ," Nina said in delight.

Before, she hadn’t felt much obvious movent and had been a little worried. That strong kick reassured her—the baby was clearly very energetic.

In the beast world, although offspring were considered egg-born, they developed inside the mother’s body. Before birth, the shell was soft, so these movents could be understood as a kind of growth, absorbing nutrients while developing inside.

"Really?" Mino leaned closer, curious.

Sal stared at her belly as well.

Leah and the others all looked over with interest.

"Yes." Nina smoothed down her clothes to show the shape of her belly and spoke softly, "Baby, be good—move again."

The baby moved again as if on cue. A small bulge appeared on her belly, shaped like a tiny paw.

"Wow, I saw it," Mino said in amazent.

Sal’s eyes glimred with a strange light. He couldn’t help reaching out, gently placing a paw against Nina’s belly.

Suddenly, his paw was bumped from the inside. Startled, he quickly pulled it back.

Then they saw another spot on her belly bulge slightly—so distance from the first.

Mino frowned, puzzled. "Nina, is the baby that big? How can its two legs be so far apart?"

Nina was also confused. "Maybe the baby shifted position?"

Mino laughed. "That baby’s pretty agile—moving around so fast."

Feeling how lively the baby was, Nina felt very happy.

Sal stared at the paw that had been bumped, a warm, wondrous feeling spreading through his heart.

Had the baby just greeted him—its father?

He looked at Nina, emotion swelling silently in his chest.

Leah and the others were young females who had never been pregnant before. Watching the fetal movents, they found it fascinating.

"Nina, can I touch it?" Leah asked.

"Of course." Nina smiled.

Leah placed her hand where the baby had moved earlier, but nothing happened. She looked a little disappointed. "Nina, does the baby not like ? It’s not moving at all."

Nina smiled and lowered her head. "Baby, say hello to your auntie."

Leah’s hand was imdiately bumped. She exclaid happily, "Ah! The baby hit my hand!"

"I want to play with the baby too," Bibi said, squeezing past Leah and placing her hand there. "Baby, give Auntie Bibi a high-five too."

The baby obligingly moved again.

"It really did!" Bibi said happily.

Minnie didn’t want to be left out. She placed her hand there as well. "And Auntie Minnie too."

The baby moved again—half-heartedly this ti—but Minnie still cheered. "The baby likes playing with too!"

The three of them gathered around Nina’s belly, playing happily.

Eventually, the babies seed to lose patience and stopped moving. The three had no choice but to return to the table, still wanting more.

Bibi suddenly thought of sothing. "Nina, doesn’t your belly seem a bit big? I’ve seen females who were close to giving birth, and theirs didn’t seem as large as yours."

She said worriedly, "I’ve heard that if the baby is too big, it can be dangerous during birth. When it’s close to your ti, you should definitely get the shaman healer. If anything happens, they can help."

"Is it really that big?" Nina didn’t know much about this, but she took Bibi’s advice seriously. "Alright, I’ll be careful. I’ll go find the healer when the ti cos."

Even though she had Little Bun, it was better to be cautious.

Concern flickered in both Mino’s and Sal’s eyes.

Sal lowered his gaze, seeming to think deeply.

After that topic ended, they moved on to other chatter—but just as they began, more guests arrived.
