The rain had just let up; the ground, the streets, the grass, and the trees were all still damp. Elric had just arrived home after spending three months traveling to various countries for his work as a pilot. He carried a large suitcase in his right hand and a paper bag in his left. Before he could even ring the doorbell, his parents opened the door; they embraced, longing to be reunited. After a long, heartfelt hug, he caught sight of his wife standing behind his parents, with their young daughter hiding behind her mother’s skirt.

Elric offered a faint smile at the sight. Walking past her parents, he knelt on one knee and spread his arms wide. The beautiful toddler ran toward her father with a joyful smile, leaping excitedly into his embrace. Elric hugged his little daughter with enthusiasm and lifted her up into his arms.

"Daddy's little princess, are you happy living with Grandma and Grandpa?" Elric said, gently tapping his daughter's slender, well-defined nose.

"Grandfather and grandmother love me, mother is also very spoiled by them, she said, my mother is carrying a younger sibling in her stomach."

Elric merely smiled upon hearing his daughter’s brief account; he then turned toward his wife, reached out with his right arm, and pulled her into an embrace. He could feel the gentle curve of her growing belly, and as he stroked her back, he planted a soft kiss on her forehead.

"Are you okay, honey?"

{{User}} simply smiled and nodded; she was overjoyed to be living with her in laws, who treated her with such kindness as if she were their own daughter. For the first time in a long while, she finally experienced true happiness something she had never known with her own family or her ex-husband. Since remarrying Captain Elric, she has become the happiest woman alive, and her daughter feels the same, regarding Elric as if he were her own biological father.

"I’ve brought lots of gifts for you all let’s open them together, shall we? Come on, let’s head upstairs to the room."

Elric brought his wife and child into their room, where the three of them spent time together reconnecting and sharing jokes.
