As they had been doing for the past month or so, Kanami and Malenia went to peer into their parents room first thing in the morning.
The results were as expected.
The three of them were still glued together, all looking mortifyingly depressed and having a hard time getting out of bed.
"Pa, mamas… this has gone on too long." Malenia said sadly.
"She's right, you can't be depressed over this forever. Abaddon is still alive and healthy, he's just back to normal now." Kanami agreed.
*Collective depressed groans.*
None of the three dragons bothered to rise from under the covers as they despaired.
Yara: "I just wanted a chance to spend more time with him as a family…"
Imani: "We were supposed to go to a 'Mommy & Me' class..."
Asmodeus: "I was going to teach him to play catch and take him to his first titty bar…"
Yara and Imani elbowed their husband hard under the covers.
