I woke up being fed by my mother.

  Wow, it smells great in here.

  Mother must be a phenomenal cook!

  I heard some cutlery being used on a plate.

  Father: [This food is great. You are an amazing cook. Five out of five stars.]

  I'm looking forward to solid foods again… well, more than I already was.

  Mother: [Thank you.]

  I could puke rainbows, but I'm glad for them.

  On a selfish note, it means a better home life for me.

  Father: [Now what happened?]

  Mother: [Well, we went out for a walk, but I wasn't even able to make it over to the market like I wanted… I had to stop and sit on a bench along the way. I thought it might just be a cold or something, so I came back home, took a nap, and ate some Miss. Grass's? soup.]

  Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

  Hu?

  Why does it sound like I'm hearing a registered mark when mother talks about the soup?

  Also, we had a bit of a harrowing journey.

  I'm glad she made it back safely.

  Father: [I'm glad you made it back safely.]

  Hey, I said… thought that.

  I give mother pats since that’s all I can do as a one-day-old.

  {*Ding* Empathy skill up.}

  Wait, that's a skill?

  Father(happy): [Please try to take it easy for a few weeks. Don't worry about groceries or dinner. I can buy groceries or pick us up some dinner on my way home.]

  You can't say something like that.

  You're going to make her feel unneeded while she is recovering!

  {*Ding* Empathy skill up.}

  Mother(sad): [I understand… but I like being useful around the house. You are always working so hard… *sniffle sniffle*]

  Wait, why is father working right now?

  Shouldn't he be home taking care of his wife, who just gave birth?

  Father(consoling): [It's ok dear. You always work so hard, I'm just asking you to take it easy. To recuperate, like if you were sick.]

  Father(lighter tone): [You could use this time to work on your magic. You've always said that you would like to get back into it, but didn't think you had the time. As long as you don't overdo it, it should be fine.]

  Mother(brightening up a little): [I'll take it a bit easier. And, yeah, I could work on improving my lifestyle magic.]

  Magic?!

  One of my scans talked about magic and magic-like abilities, but this is awesome.

  Magic users like wizards, sorcerers, and warlocks existed from my previous world, and I took a few introductory classes on magic in college, but I had scant talent.

  I hoped I have a talent for magic this time around.

  Afterwards, mother and father made some small talk, but I was having trouble paying attention.

  I had not fully recovered and was still sleepy… being rocked in… my… mothers… arms…
