When I woke up from my slumber, two weeks had gone by.

My family was very worried, and they all hugged me tightly.

Not only I had fallen asleep but all the True Body Clones too, only those clones separated from my soul were conscious, but that is because they were already beings of their own not connected with me.

My wives in specific all hugged me, and I was completely flattened by all of their body weight, I literally was made into a slime pancake.

"Guuuuuu! I missed you, Mastaa! You never woke up! I was so worried, guuuuuu!" cried Rimuru.

"Mommyyy! Don't sleep so much next time! It was boring without you around, guu!" cried Ailine.

"Ugh, I am sorry, please… I love you two so, please… Ugh… Don't squeeze…" I cried.

"You really got me worried, Honey! This has never happened before! You are so strong, yet you went unconscious for so long? I almost had a stroke!" cried Zehe.

"…I am glad you are back. I was actually getting worried now…" sighed Ryo.

"Even I, as someone that often just sleeps and eats, was quite worried. You shouldn't go falling asleep for whole weeks… Especially because you were going to bring me to Hel one day, right?" asked Yiksukesh.

"Aw, my beautiful Zehe, I am fine… And my little Ryo, I never thought you would be so worried about mama! …And Yiksukesh? Long time no see…" I said, as I hugged them back.

"Ah! I missed your voice so much, little butterfly~!" cried Nesiphae… Wait, little butterfly? She has not called me like that in a lot of time!

"Mommy don't go away like that! I was scared!" said Amiphossia as she cried loudly as tears began to cover my entire body.

"Mama! I missed youuuu! Do not go away, mama! Sniffles…" cried Nirah.

"Aw, don't cry like that… I am here, don't worry," I said.

I was embraced by the adorable lamias of all sizes as I petted them and kissed them so they could be reassured that nothing wrong was going on.

"You are awake! It was so long I thought I was losing my mind… Do not go to sleep so ever before, okay? What happened to you? You better explain it all, alright?" said Brontes as she both reprimanded me and also hugged and kissed me, I felt like she was my mother for a bit.

"Mommyyyyy! It was very long! What were you dreaming? I couldn't even enter your dreams…" cried Vudia, as she flapped her little wings adorably, I petted my little cyclops princess and told her that everything was going to be okay.

"Sorry about that, really, I will explain everything… And also I will make sure to compensate for the days I was not present," I said.

"Why did you sleep so much!? I was worried sick about you! Geez! I am going to smack you in bed tonight!" roared Gaby, she seemed to restraint her concern as she gave me a threat that I couldn't refuse…

"Do you really have to put it on those words? And I am sorry, really…" I asked, as she glanced me back and then hugged me, beginning to cry alongside Valentia and Aarae at our side.

"Mommy, that was pretty scary! Do not go to sleep for so long! Are you hungry? You have to eat a lot today!" said Valentia.

"Yeah, yeah! You slept way too much! You're not going anywhere!" said Aarae.

"Okay, please forgive me…" I sighed, as I received the love of my children.

"That was rather worrying… Y-You slept for way too much. I was really trying to be strong here… But it was… well, I am glad you are back…" sighed Mady, as she embraced me with her tentacles, right after three little Scylla's also jumped into me and stuck into my body with their tentacles.

"Maaaaama!" cried Nanshe.

"Mommyyyy, you awake?!" asked Nammu.

"I was worried…" cried Marduk.

"Yes, I am here now, don't worry… I will always be here to protect all of you…" I said, petting them.

"You idiot! Idiot, idiot, idiot! Why did you leave for so long?! I and Belle- well, everyone here was so worried! You are really a hopeless idiot, aren't you?" asked Adelle as she crossed her arms and glared at me with a bit of anger…

"Sorry! You don't have to be so harsh, I was also going through a lot…" I sighed.

"A-Ah… W-Well, maybe I was… a bit too harsh… S-Sorry, I just missed you so much!" cried Adelle, as she hugged me with Belle at our side.

"Mommy, why did you slept so much? It was very scary…" said Belle.

"It's… complicated, I will explain things as I go, alright? But do not worry, I am not going anywhere…" I said.

"Kireina! I missed you so much, why did you go to sleep for so long…? I know it was because of the Divine Trials b-but still…! Munch…" said Alice, as she hugged me and munched my neck, drinking blood while crying.

I petted her as I reassured her.

"There, there… Don't worry, I am here now…" I said.

"Kireina-sama, you spent so long sleeping, I thought an enemy God might have trapped you inside some kind of dreamscape…! Phew, at the very least you are okay now… M-Make sure to not be so reckless, alright?" asked Agatheina, two weeks wasn't so much for a Goddess who has lived for thousands of years, so I guess she wasn't as affected, but still worried… and yes, she also began to drink my blood from the other side of my neck.

"Sorry… You can drink all the blood you want to compensate for it, don't worry…" I said.

"Why were you sleeping? The baby is just very close to being born and you were dozing off in dreamland! …Do not do that again, alright? I feared that the child would come out without you there…" sighed Lilith, as I embraced her and saw her belly, which had become very large, now it was very noticeable that the child was close to being born… though I didn't know if she would lay an egg or jus give birth to it directly.

"I am sorry for making you feel like that, don't worry, I will be at your side when our child is born… Alright?" I asked, as Lilith kissed me passionately for a bit and then I gently caressed her belly, it was very warm.

"M-Me too! Well, I was delving into my workshop this whole time, so it was not much… But still! I was just as worried! That I distract my mind from these things does not mean I do not care! …Sniffles," cried Charlotte, as she hugged me, her belly was just as huge as Lilith!

Were these girls synchronized?

"Don't worry, my love. I know how you are… I would never doubt your love. I will be there for you as well, we'll see it be born together, and I will help you however I can…" I said.

"I believe I still might have some time until the baby is born… But I was still incredibly worried… Do not fall unconscious ever again, okay? I was… I was… very sorrowful… Thanks to the girls and everyone else that I was able to pull through it but… please don't do that again…" sighed Altani.

Eh?! I have never seen Altani so sad before! Damn…

"I will make sure to make up for it, alright, dear? Here, cuddle with me~" I said, as I embraced Altani and cuddled with her, she waved her tail happily as I did.

"Master, you were sleeping so much, you even surpassed my own laziness! Are you okay now? Are you?" asked Nephiana as her large and beady emerald eyes shined brightly, small tears coming from them, which almost broke my heart.

"Please do not cry, I am fine, Nephiana-chan. I will explain everything," I said, petting and kissing her.

"Chupiii, mommyyy!"

"Mama, mama!"

"Hug! Hug, mama!"

"Are you okay?"

"Chupii…"

"Mommy! Mommy!"

"You woke up!"

The seven Harpy Babies ran towards me, well, not baby anymore, they had grown a lot since being complete babies and were more or less a few centimeters big now, enough for them to not be so pocket-sized as before, around the size of 5 years old.

All seven of them drowned me in fluffy feathers and kisses, and I hugged them all, asking for forgiveness, as they simply embraced me with their warmth love…

"Are you okay? I was so worried, Kireina! Look at my eyes, they are all crying! Ah, I am coated in my own tears now… Sniffles…" cried Nanako, as she fell into my arms rather dramatically, as I embraced her and kissed her.

"Sorry, I was… quite busy, I will make sure to make up for it," I asked, as she nodded weakly in understanding.

"Geez, everyone is making a big fuss… But I will keep myself quiet… Though… I was really, really worried! I know that I am not a princess anymore and stuff, but you really make me get the princess out of me and act like Adelle! …B-But my mother and father taught me to be a damsel… S-So make sure to compensate for all the nights without you, okay? A-And let us eat together too!" said Ismena, as she embraced me while flapping her butterfly wings.

"Fufu, sure thing… And do not worry, I am okay if you complain a bit, I kind of deserve it, relax," I said, petting her head and reassuring her.

"Haahh~ Kireina-sama, I missed your tenderness and love so much, sleeping for so long was not good at all! I-I cannot even laugh now! This is very sad! Well, it was! Hmmfuh~ Yes, please keep kissing me~" said Acelina, as she jumped into my arms, crying over my chest. She began to ask me to kiss her, so I kept kissing her lips passionately until she calmed down, although her heart was beating rather fast after that.

"I am here now, so don't worry anymore about me, alright? You can ask for my kisses at any time you want as well," I said.

"Aahh~ Kireina-sama, please rub and caress my tails, look, they are not silky anymore! I missed your grooming every day!" cried Kaguya, as she hugged me and waved her large and fluffy squirrel tails around… Indeed, I groomed her tails so they would remain fluffy…. But couldn't she do it herself? Well, I will make sure to groom her tails as fast as possible! This is something very urgent!

"There, there, how's that now? Feeling better, my Kaguya?" I asked as I used a groom to slowly take away the dead hair from her tails.

"Ahhh~ I missed this so much… As well as you! Don't go away ever again!" said Kaguya as she ate several peanuts and dried fruits, her cheeks were all around.

"I-I also missed you a lot! Do not go sleeping so much like that ever again! …And you better bath with me later on, I missed you scratching my legs and the lower area of the abdomen…" sighed Nixephine, she had her priorities as straight as Kaguya, I will have to urgently carry her to the bathroom after everything here is done for!

"Sure thing, sorry for being gone for some time… I will make sure to scratch and leave your golden carapace as shiny as ever… and we could do something else there too, if you want~" I said, as Nixephine blushed a bit as her scorpion tail began to wave excitedly.

"Mommy! We missed you! Although Nesi-mama and Nixe-mama were being very cuddly, so I never slept alone… But I missed chu!" cried Scarlet, my newest born little girl, two weeks had gone by since I saw her, and I didn't even realize it due to the dream! Poor little thing…

"My little girl… I am so sorry, I will make sure to spend all the time of the world with you, alright?" I asked.
