~ Zarkon ~

As much as you loved being a mom, it could be stressful at times. Sometimes you got so stressed that you weren't able to properly take care of Gatrea. You never neglected her, but you would hand her to Zarkon and have him take care of her. So, Zarkon hired a Dayak to take care of Gatrea; he would have to eventually do so anyway. You were a little nervous to leave Gatrea in the care of a Dayak, but Zarkon reassured you that everything would be alright.

"Now that we're alone, what do you want to do?" Zarkon asked as he sat on the bed with you, lifting you up and laying you on his chest.

"I don't know. I haven't really done anything I want in so long." You told him, feeling unsure of what to do.

"We have all day." Zarkon said softly, caressing the side of your face with one of his hands.

You thought for a moment, feeling more stressed than you already were. Being a mother meant that you had to put your interests and hobbies aside. Zarkon patiently waited for your answer, ready to do anything that you wanted to do. He knew that you had the baby blues.

"Can we go for a flight?" You cautiously asked your husband, hoping that what you were asking was too much.

"Anything for you, kitten." Zarkon told you, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

You smiled at him, happy that you were finally going out to do something while alone with Zarkon. Zarkon had the cook prepare some food and something to drink for your trip. Once everything was ready, you and Zarkon took the picnic basket to the Black Lion. You felt less stressed once Black was flying high over the ground with Zarkon flying her and you were sitting on his lap.

~ Alfor ~

When Alfor noticed how depressed you were getting and how your personality was changing, he got very worried about you. He wanted to do something to help you get over the baby blues, so he asked Melenor and Trigel if they could help. Trigel and Melenor knew just how to help you, so they planned everything. Alfor was going to take care of Lotarius so that you could go out.

"Princess, are you ready yet?" Alfor asked from the bedroom, wearing a baby sling so that he could have Lotarius with him.

"I'm almost ready." You called out through the bathroom door.

When Alfor told you that he had a surprise for you, your mood immediately perked up. It had been so long since you had any excitement in your life. You wanted to look your best for the day, so you were getting ready. Once you deemed yourself presentable, you put your shoes on and came out of the bathroom.

"Alright, I'm ready." You said as you walked over to your husband, a smile on your face.

"You look beautiful, princess. Come along now." Alfor said as he began walking towards the bedroom door.

You followed Alfor, curious of what the surprise was. Lotarius babbled and sucked on one of his hands while you and Alfor held hands. Alfor led you out to the garden where he had a tea party set up, Melenor and Trigel sitting at the tea table in the gazebo. Trigel and Melenor smiled and waved when they saw you.

"You did this? For me?" You quietly gasped, covering your mouth with one of your hands.

"I'm glad that you like it, now go have fun. I'll take care of Lotarius for the day." Alfor told you, leaning down and briefly pressing his lips against yours.

"Thank you for this." You said softly, kissing him back before heading over to the gazebo.

Alfor smiled as he watched you walk over to the gazebo and sit down in the empty chair, immediately greeting Trigel and Melenor. He turned around and headed back to the Castle where Coran and Allura were. Lotarius got along well with Allura, so naturally Coran and Alfor let them be around each other as much as possible.

~ Blaytz ~

You loved Iris, you really did, but sometimes being a mother was a little too much for you to handle. Between the diaper changing, feedings and somewhat sleepless nights you were becoming stressed out easier. Blaytz noticed how depressed, tired and stressed you were becoming and wanted to make you feel better.

"Cutie, I have a surprise for you." Blaytz said softly as he walked over to the bed where you were trying to relax, already having put Iris down for her nap.

"What is it?" You asked, hoping that you weren't needed; you were stressed out enough as it was.

"You have to come with me." Blaytz said, a mischievous smirk appearing on his face.

"It better be worth it." You sighed, feeling depressed.

Blaytz' smirk disappeared as he got off of the bed, beckoning for you to follow him. You slid off of the bed and followed your husband out of his and your bedroom. Lately you had been very depressed; you felt like you were stuck not being able to go anywhere or able to do anything without having to worry about Iris. You followed Blaytz through the Palace, wondering where he was bringing you. You nearly ran into him when he stopped in front of the library.

"Well ladies, here she is." Blaytz announced as he opened the library door and led you in.

When you followed Blaytz into the library you saw Melenor and Trigel sitting on the couch, as well as a couple of your friends that you made in the village. You were shocked to see them, but happy.

"What are you all doing here?" You asked, a hint of hope in your voice instead of a depressed tone.

"Blaytz asked us to come here so that we can hang out." Trigel told you, a soft smile on her face.

"Thank you so much, hot stuff." You said happily as you wrapped your arms around his waist, hugging him tightly.

"You're welcome, cutie. Now, have fun. I'll have one of the servants bring something for you all to eat and drink." Blaytz told you, hugging you back.

You sighed happily before you and Blaytz let go of each other. You walked over to the couch and sat down, ecstatic to finally have some of your female friends around so that you could catch up with them. Blaytz smiled as he left, happy that he could help ease your baby blues. He would take care of Iris for the rest of the day so that you could have a break.

~ Gyrgan ~

It was only a matter of time before you got the baby blues. You really loved Adu, but sometimes you just wanted to get out with Gyrgan, alone. Gyrgan noticed how stressed and depressed you were getting, so he planned an entire day out with you. His sister was going to watch Adu for the day, so neither of you were worried; his sister loved spoiling Adu. Your mood improved slightly when Gyrgan told you about your day out together.

"So, where are we going?" You asked Gyrgan as you sat on his lap, the two of you in Yellow's helm.

"I'm taking you to the hot springs in the mountains on Altea. They heal the mind and the soul." Gyrgan told you as he grabbed the controls.

"Really? I can't wait. I love Adu, I really do, but sometimes being a mom is really tiring." You said, feeling guilty.

You held onto Gyrgan's forearms as Yellow stood up and took off flying. You couldn't wait to sit in a hot spring with your husband, knowing that it would help you feel better. You were thankful that Gyrgan's sister was able to take care of Adu while you and Gyrgan were away. Gyrgan couldn't wait to finally spend some time alone with you.

~ Trigel ~

When you started getting the baby blues Trigel felt bad and wanted to help you feel better. More often than not, you were depressed and didn't say much. So, Trigel had one of the servants keep an eye on Astrid while she drew a bath and lit a few scented candles around the bathroom.

"Trigel have you seen- What's all this?" You asked as you walked into the bathroom, seeing Trigel wearing her green robe while turning the bathtub off.

"She's with one of the servants. I drew a bubble bath for us to share." Trigel answered, smiling when she saw you.

"I- Thank you. I really needed this." You said as you closed the bathroom door, the candle light flickering.

Trigel took her robe off and draped it over the hamper, stepping into the large bathtub and sitting down. You took your shirt, pants/skirt off and draped them over Trigel's robe before adding your bra and panties to the pile of clothing. You immediately felt a little more relaxed as you got into the tub and sat down, resting your back against Trigel.

"Isn't this better?" Trigel quietly asked you as she snaked her arms around your midsection.

"Yes, it is. Thank you for this, I really needed it." You sighed, closing your eyes.

"I'm glad that you like it. I know how you've had the baby blues lately. Later this evening I'm taking you out to dinner." Trigel said, resting her chin on your right shoulder.

"I can't wait." You said quietly, placing your hands on top of hers.

Trigel was happy that she was able to help you feel better. She knew that it was hard for you to almost constantly be around Astrid and not able to actually relax. You loved Astrid and so did Trigel, but the two of you needed your time alone together from time to time. You couldn't wait to go out to an actual restaurant for dinner with Trigel.
