The next day...
When Alex was awake, he could feel something warm in his hand and right in front of him.
Opening his eyes, he quickly realized his hands were firmly holding onto Mary's chest, with her back against his chest.
Sophia was hugging him from behind, wrapping her leg around his body as if Alex were a body pillow.
He quickly moved his hands away from Mary before pushing Sophia's hands and legs away from his body.
However, as Alex freed himself from the trap, he felt something dripping wet.
For a second, he thought he had a wet dream. But he quickly realized he was way too exhausted from last night.
He started to think Mary had somehow peed on the bed, but after seeing the red mark on the blanket, he immediately realized what it was.
"Mary, wake up. I think you're having your first period."
"Hm? What——Ow! Why does it hurt so much?"
Tears began falling from Mary's face as she started groaning in pain. It was almost as if she had some sort of delayed response.
Alex immediately got out of bed and ran over to Mary's drawer, pulling out a new pair of panties and a new pad.
The noise made by the two of them finally made Sophia wake up from her sleep as she slowly opened her eyes.
"Why are you two up so early——Oh my god, Mary!"
"Sophia, go call mom."
As Sophia ran out of the bedroom, Alex gently pushed the blanket aside before moving a little closer.
"Mary, just relax. The pain will disappear on its own. The more you think, the more it hurts——"
"I can't! It just hurts so much——"
As Alex tried to pull Mary's soaking red pants down, her legs were holding way too tightly to get rid of.
Fortunately, Sophia finally came back with Katherine as she quickly took over Alex's place to help Mary relax.
"Mary, don't worry. Mommy is here. Calm down a little, okay?"
Katherine's voice seemed to have some sort of magic as Mary finally stopped panicking, allowing her to take off her pants all the way down slowly.
With the pants gone, the three of them could see the level of blood stain that had painted the panties completely red.
A stream of water suddenly appeared on Katherine's hand as she pulled Mary's panties aside, slowly directing the water to clean all of the blood.
After all the stains were gone, Katherine attached the pad to the new pair of panties before helping Mary put them back on.
"Congrats, Mary... You are now a woman," Katherine gently whispered as she carried her out of the bedroom.
"I don't want to be a woman anymore. I don't like this at all." Mary complained, feeling the cramp in her leg.
"Shush, don't say that. You two, talk with Mary for a bit, okay? I need to go clean up the bed."
As Katherine gently put Mary onto the sofa, Sophia and Alex quickly sat down next to her.
"Mary, the pain is going to disappear after a few minutes. Just don't think too much about it, and it will go away." Sophia comforted.
"Really?"
"Yes, really. It's just your body hasn't gotten used to it yet... Trust me, I already have experience with this."
Mary's face looked much better after hearing Sophia's reassurance, but she could still feel the pain after sitting there for a few minutes.
"Ha, looks like someone was a crybaby when they got their first period."
As Alex smirked at Mary's disfortune, her face immediately changed as she crossed her arms in anger.
"Hmph! I'm not a crybaby. It doesn't even hurt that much."
"Oh, really? How about this: If you can read this book and tell me what's inside, then I won't call you a crybaby."
"Bet!"
Mary quickly snatched the book out of Alex's hand, putting all her focus on reading it as Sophia and Alex sat in silence.
A few minutes later...
When Katherine returned to the living room, most of the pain had subsided except for a little cramp.
However, Mary's period had completely ruined their weekend plan to go outside.
Alex was the only one who was more than happy to have more time to read the textbook and finish the rest of the second chapter.
By the time the weekend had ended, Mary was back to normal, albeit still needing to wear her pad for the occasional bleeding for the next few days.

"Wake up! Time for school!"
Katherine yelled as she flipped the blanket, causing all three of them to wake up as the cold breeze blew over their body.
But to her surprise, both of the girls were hugging Alex's arm, with his morning wood clearly visible as it made a tent underneath his pants.
"Maybe it's time for me to give each of them a private room."
Katherine thought as she began to realize it was starting to seem inappropriate that they were still sleeping together.
But with no extra space in the house, she scrapped the idea as the three slowly opened their eyes.
"Can I sleep just for another minute?" Mary pleaded as she tried to drag the blanket back from her hands.
"Too bad. Now get up and go wash your face."
As the three of them reluctantly got up from the bed and slowly headed toward the bathroom, Katherine suddenly lay down on the bed.
"Their warmth and smell... It's so nice!" Katherine thought to herself as she spread her arms and legs around like a child.
After lying for a bit, she herself reluctantly got up from the bed before heading over to the kitchen.
The breakfast was already in place: a plate of eggs and ham next to a cup of fresh milk that she had made this morning.
As the three kids exited the bathroom and sat down in their seats, she watched them eat the breakfast she had made.
The three of them started chatting with each other about school, with Katherine occasionally chiming in.
"Mom, why don't you make a cup of milk for yourself?" Alex suddenly asked.
"Only kids drink milk. I don't need to drink it."
"Okay..."
After the short conversation, the three headed back to their room to change into their uniform before coming out with their backpack.
"Bye, mom!"
"Bye!"
As Katherine watched the three leave the house together, she headed back inside after they disappeared from her sight.
"I have the house all to myself..." Katherine murmured as she took out a mop and bucket and started wiping the floor.
A short house cleaning later...
"Oh snap, it's Monday... I need to go do laundry."
Katherine quickly headed over to the bathroom before carrying the laundry basket full of clothes to the storage room.
There, she started taking out their dirty laundry one by one into a rectangular machine before stopping at one of the clothes.
It was Alex's underwear, with a small bit of cum stain that remained at the front.
"Why do I want to smell this? When did I become such a pervert? I need to control myself."
Despite saying no in her mind, her hand was slowly moving the underwear closer and closer to her face.
But just before the underwear could touch her face, she immediately threw it down into the machine.
"Why am I like this? When did I become so desperate?" Katherine thought to herself in disgust.
After throwing all the laundry into the machine, she quickly turned it on before she could regret her choice.
With the machine running, she headed back into the living room before sitting down on the sofa.
"Stop being such a thirsty woman... Maybe I need to do something else to distract myself a little."
Katherine closed her eyes, getting ready to enter meditation as the cold breeze hit the window next to her.

Meanwhile, back in school.
As the three kids stepped inside the classroom, a new teacher was already sitting in her seat.
It was a middle-aged woman, wearing almost the same uniform as Amelia, except with a long skirt all the way down to her ankle.
With her glasses, a small hair bun on top, and a warm smile, the three of them already had a good first impression of her.
"You three are the new kids, right?" The teacher asked as she waved her hands towards them.
"Yes... Good morning, Miss Amy." The three replied as they all stopped right before her in unison.
"Good morning... You may go back into your seat."
Slowly, Miss Amy got up from her seat before walking over to the blackboard as she finally began the class for today.
"Good morning, everyone. How was your time with Miss Amelia?"
"Good!"
"That's great to hear... Ahem, since I just came back today, I'm going to do a roll call first..."
After a short roll call, Miss Amy released an announcement that instantly made the entire class excited.
"Today, I'm going to bring all of you to the School's Arena. I want everyone to get in a single file line."
"Yes, teacher!"
Ten minutes later...
As the class stood outside the large building, everyone was already in awe of the sheer number of people nearby.
Without even entering inside yet, hundreds of thousands of people were standing right outside the entrance talking to each other.
Every person they walked past was wearing a robe, except for other young students similar to their age, led by other teachers.
As Miss Amy led the class inside the building, everyone once again fell in awe at all the crystal decorations hanging from the ceiling.
The biggest shock was the giant tree right in the middle. It was so tall that it pierced through the cloud above, unable to see its ending.
"Class 204. Room 24." A receptionist answered before Miss Amy could even say anything to her.
"Thank you."
After Miss Amy accepts a keycard from the receptionist, she leads the class into a giant door before scanning the keycard.
The door slowly slid to the side, revealing a pitch-black room that had nothing inside.
"Okay, time for you guys to go inside... Except Justin, please come over here and wait with me."
As each of the classmates went in one by one, they all disappeared as soon as they stepped forward.
With the person in front of Alex going inside, he took a deep breath before stepping forward himself.
