The teahouse erupted once more in jubilation at the arrival of a new life within its walls—a life that had already been marked as one of its own before he was even born.
The newlyweds had now become new parents, and with that came fresh panic and fear. Fortunately, the husband was no stranger to that feeling, and he knew exactly where to go. Only this time, he didn't go alone.
The teahouse, with its ever-open arms, welcomed them once again to drink from its cup of wisdom and experience as those within its walls had walked many a time, the path the newly parents were just about to tread on.
Advice and support came in generous amounts, far more than the new parents had expected. Some of it was life-saving, some of it completely useless—or even mildly dangerous—but it was all welcomed nonetheless. And with it, the newest member had many hands and voices to support and cheer him on.
