Becoming A Kid Again

"MY… My Son." Su Yan cried seeing me there trembling. Dong Su Zhu let go of Su Yan and instantly wrapped her arms around me. Making sure to use one hand on the back of my head. "Welcome home, my son. Mother missed you terribly." She said, crying. 

The next few moments were spent in silence. No one dared to speak. Instead, what happened was Xia Ning Chan came over and hugged Su Yan and myself as well. "Welcome home son." She said, tearing up happy tears. 

"Ahh!" I cried. "Mother, mother Xia. I'm home! I'm finally home!" I managed to say as I was being smothered by the two of them. 

"Yang Kai! This child? Is he really Su Yan's? And who are these other women that have come with you?" Yu Ru Meng shouted out at Yang Kai, half not wanting to believe that someone else had a child before her. And half wanting there to be room so she can smother me herself. She was feeling conflicted. 

"Mother's please, allow me to explain." I said. Wiping my eyes. "My story will reveal all. I hope everyone will listen." I added, still having tears flow. And I was still being smothered. 

"Good, you're already more trustworthy than your stink man of a father, since Su Yan has had such a reaction it's likely that you really are her baby boy. But it's still very difficult to believe." Yu Ru Meng said, crossing her arms. 

"Then I shall begin, it all started like this…" I said, delving into a long detailed explanation of what had happened up until now. The looks of utter shock and silence were prevalent. Until…

Su Yan stood up and walked over to Feng Ying, Bai Yi and Smiles. "Thank… Thank you for doing what I… I failed to do. I, I missed so… Much of my son's life. But it's a relief to know he had a mother figure to look up to. Thank you from the bottom of my heart." Su Yan cried, smiling. "I only wish I could have been there. Sisters… Thank you again for not letting my son grow up without a mother." She added.

"Sister Su Yan, We were only doing what we should." Bai Yi said, hugging Su Yan. "Little Leiji is a good young man. And while I can't give back the experience of being there. I can tell you some of the stories in detail." She said, tearing up a little. 

"Yang Kai! So you married three more sisters out there huh! Your luck is really so good isn't it! You even came back with a miracle son. I hope you know what's in store for you!" Yu Ru Meng scolded. 

"Yang Kai, it seems you really can't control yourself at all." Dong Su Zhu said with an irritated smile, crushing her cup. 

"Big Brother, Accept Mother's punishment willingly. And with grace. I know there is no way you're getting out of this one." Yang Xue said, casually setting her cup back down. Then she stood up and walked over to me and smiled. "Hi there little nephew. Give your aunt a hug." She said, giving me a hug before I could react. 

"HEY! Why are you giving him a hug before all of his mothers give him one?" Yu Ru Meng yelled annoyed. 

"Sister-in-law, don't be too upset. It was due to my nephew's breakthrough that I learned a new way to use time principles. It wasn't a big difference in method, but a large difference in power. But that aside I'm his aunt, why can't I give my nephew hugs!" Yang Xue retorted. 

"Please, Mother. I have something I must give you. It's from the Phoenix Empress. I think she meant it as a betrothal gift… The Phoenix Clan is a Matriarch so they have some… Different practices." I said. "And then I have something else for you from mother's source's first owner." I whispered. And sent over two bursts of light. 

~~In Su Yan's Knowledge Sea~~

"These two things. One is the information of the Phoenix Clan and even the method of how to open up the door to the nest. But this other light is from the Current Phoenix Empress. Let's break the seal." Su Yan thought. 

"Leiji's mother, I know you were unable to be there for your son's growth. And I know It was forward for me to force him to play the games so soon. So I hope this can make up for it. I spent a lot of time thinking of how to do this. But I used a portion of my power to do…" The Fire Phoenix Empress's Voice Rang out in Su Yan's Knowledge Sea. 

"So this… I… Thank you… Truly. And I will be sure to accept my daughter-in-laws." She thought with a happy tear forming. 

~~Outside Su Yan's Knowledge Sea~~

"Leiji, I know what Lady Empress gave me. It's not just a present for me but also for you. Are you ready?" Su Yan smiled. 

"I'm ready!" I said, with big excited eyes. 

"Then return to grow once more." Su Yan said. 

I started shrinking down little by little. Back down to how I would look at 5 years old. I looked around me and at myself. 

"Huh! I was trying to do this too! Yay! Mommy, mommy! Oh… hmmm… Seems my speech has regressed a little as well. Oh well, I get to hug mommy all I want now!" I said, jumping over into Su Yan's arms. 

Su Yan picked me up and smiled. "Let's go and do all the things we never got to do before." She said, then looked back at my 6 wives. "I feel bad for taking him from you like this. But I promise I won't keep him forever." She smiled. "Come join us. We're going to baby him so much. I'm sure you'll find it cute." She added. 

"Yes, mother-in-law. We were preparing for this kind of thing before. We're grateful to you for taking this time to mother him. Besides, there are some things my sisters and I would like to talk about with Mothers about." Huo Lei said, whipping her tails back and forth excitedly. 

"Oh then we should start with a long activity, come. You too sisters. If we want to do this, we should do it right." Su Yan said.
