"Ral can't say the word mama in one breath, so he splits it into two." Lith explained to calm them down.
"What did you say?" Kamila asked both her husband and son.
"Ma… ma?" Raldarak's little hand brushed against her exposed skin to get her attention. "Ma… ma."
"Ask him if he's saying, mama. Do it!" Kamila refused to believe her own ears.
Lith didn't argue and did as bidden.
"Yes, he is." Lith replied after another contact with the Dragon Scales. "Ral is also getting worried because you're ignoring him."
"I'm sorry, sweetie. I was just confused." Kamila held the baby boy tight, giving him her undivided attention. "Say that again, please. Call me mama."
"Ma… ma!" Raldarak said, giggling.
"Yes, my little boy." Kamila started to sob as she peppered Raldarak's head with kisses. "I'm your mom."
"Ma… ma?"
"He's-" Lith tried to say.
"I know, and I'm sorry." Kamila broke down crying while lulling the baby boy. "You don't need to worry, my love. Mommy is just happy."
