The continuation of the shocking yet happy news!
Chapter 34: Best Present of All
That news shocked everyone around the room that Summer is pregnant again with their new cub and Musaki couldn't get over the initial shock that coarsed through his body, but it was soon placed with happiness and joy over the announcement that she just made and he was speechless at that fact and tried to find the right words to say to describe his happiness, but he was without words. Mako chuckled at that news and he said, "Been there before, nephew."
"This is great news! Congratulations, my grandson!" Oak Sung responded, with jubilee.
Arizona could definitely relate to the shocking reaction as well and he chuckled softly and said, "I felt the exact same way when I found out my son was gonna be born. I'm really happy for you, Saki."
Musaki eventually snapped out of it as soon as the news sunk in that he's gonna have another cub soon and he said, "Wow...this is just a huge surprise! Why didn't you tell me, Summer?"
"The doctor actually confirmed it a week ago and our baby's gonna be due for 8 months. I wanted to tell you right away, but I decided to just wait for a special occasion to tell you the news. Your 21'st birthday is one of thos special occasions that I wanted to share the news." Summer replied.
Musaki widened his eyes at this and had no idea that this would be told on the special day of his life and knowing that he's gonna be a father again made it that much special on his birthday and he said, "That is the best birthday gift you've given me, Summer."
"Thank you, Saki." Summer replied.
"Congratulations, Musaki! I know that you will make a great father...again." Samurai added.
"Hey, to celebrate that occasion, let's have some cake!" Miyo exclaimed, bringing out the cake.
She brought in a very huge cake with a body the shape of a panda that resembles Musaki in the best way possible and Musaki could tell that there were a lot of time and details to go into making that cake and once it's presented to the folks, they definitely want a piece of it. But first...Mako and Samurai brought ina huge birthday dinner feast for everyone to gorge on first; ranging from noodles, spicy szechuan chicken, ramen noodles with sriracha sauce and everything in between.
The Elemental Hazards burst into the house and once they smelled the food, they knew that they were right on time and Mako said, "Seats for everyone!"
Everyone took their seats at the table and their plates are full of food and everyone just ate to their hearts content right after Musaki got his first plate and throughout the day, Musaki was talking with his old friends and talking about how excited they'll be when they move to Shanghai Secluded Valley and their new lives and most of his friends from the Valley of Peace will miss him very much and he knows that he'll be coming in to visit. Ichi, Jo and Shanghai knew that they were gonna hold him to his word and Musaki chuckled in response.
After the dinner, Miyo then brought in the cake with 21 candles on it to resemble the 21 years of Musaki's life and sung a Chinese 'Happy Birthday' to Musaki and he just couldn't feel more deeply appreciated than ever and he made a little wish and blew out all the candles and everyone just cheered for him. Musaki took the first slice of cake and passed the rest of it down to everyone as they enjoyed the cake.
Summer walked right behind her boyfriend and placed a crown on his head, which spooked Musaki a little bit and then noticed something on his head and he looked at Summer and asked, "What's with the crown?"
"Every birthday boy needs to feel like a king on his special day." Summer responded.
"But he's not a boy anymore. He's a man, Summer." Taji explained.
"Same thing." Summer added.
Musaki chuckled at this and he feels like the king on his day and he said, "Thank you, Summer."
He then reached in his sacket and brought in a tiara and placed on Summer's head, which surprised her the most and asked, "A tiara? For me?"
"Hey, a birthday king wouldn't celebrate his birthday and share it without his queen." Musaki added, with a smile on his face.
Even though it's not her birthday, Summer feels more than happier to be the birthday queen for today and she said, "Thank you...my king."
"Hey, king and queen...we're having an afterparty at the Jade Palace and we're gonna celebrate one last time before you leave." Takami added.
"I'm looking forward to the afterparty!" Shao exclaimed.
"Wonder what might happen there?" Okinawa asked, elbowing his little brother.
Musaki chuckled at this and he said, "If I know the Jade Palace family, it's always gonna be something."
Stay tuned to see more of Musaki's 21st birthday!
