After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1089

Of course, some of the biggest changes during the past months were in the family, who was having a massive dinner in the garden this time.

The special occasion was Sheila’s birthday, and she was with her family as well. Her father and brother had adjusted well after they moved in. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Sheila supported them for about a month or two, giving them a place to live and an allowance to live off of.

However, afraid they’d turn to parasites, everyone including Althea warned her to give only the bare minimum.

It could be a bit out of line, but they did it for Sheila’s sake. She understood it though. She did have a tendency to be a pushover so it was normal for them to be worried for her.

Sheila did help her father find a job and her brother to enroll in school, giving them a good foundation to build their future on, which was already very kind.

Her father was actually a good worker and started making good money after a promotion, while her brother was going to high school and was doing well in most subjects. After school, he was also making a bit of extra money gathering resources for the territory.

Eventually, after a couple of months, the duo managed to earn enough (with Sheila’s help) to get a downpayment for a small studio unit. They just had to place a double-decker bed there, and it was already more than enough for them.

To be honest, Althea had been worried for her family, fearing that they would be leeches like Amos’ family. Fortunately, they were just a bit overbearing but had good hearts.

Althea could tell that her father had been a helicopter parent, but was not the kind to use his children as retirement plans. At the very least, he wasn’t like Amos’ family or Winona’s grandmother, who expected the younger generation to unconditionally support them and do whatever they ordered regardless of anything.

It also helped, of course, that they once witnessed her axe a monster down while she was training with her husband.

Anyway, at this time, they set the party up in the gardens because there were many attendees. They had four very pregnant women in the table, too—Sheila, Cassandra, Melissa, and Winona—and they were all sitting together like the best of friends.

Cassandra, Melissa, and Winona were already in their last trimester, while Sheila was in her first.

They found out about her pregnancy more than a month prior, so they decided to make a grander-than-planned party to serve as a double celebration.

The pregnant women had gotten very close in the past few weeks of bonding. They all had different mood swings and quirks, but having someone relate on a deep level was definitely helping them cope with all the stress that came with pregnancy.

Anyway, it was all nice to watch them bond over this. Their husbands, especially, were thankful for the support group to deal with issues they could not understand no matter how much they tried.

It also helped with their relationships too, because after bonding with the other girls, they’d be bright and happy when they got back home.

The husbands would also get some clues from the other women about what their wives wanted and needed, allowing them to serve them well during this period.

Sometimes, the women would even reward them by initiating sexy time.

Happy wife, happy life indeed.

Anyway, the women’s topics shifted from gossiping about the yoga instructor (pregnancy yoga classes appeared in the territory now), couples who broke up (and why), which neighbor challenged which neighbor (to a spar), and—of course—some of the popular characters in the territory.

Being well-known had some perks, but it also came with endless gossip. It just came with the territory.

"Did you know?" Cassandra said as she took a bite of her meat. "Some of Oslo and Gochi’s fangirls and fanboys seemed to have formed an alliance of sorts."

"Oh?"

"Interesting."

Although not common, a few groups of fangirls (and fanboys) could get so passionate that they’d start fan wars. At some point, it felt like an inevitable progression as the entertainment industry began to flourish.
