While working on a dirt house to survive the night, RJ smiles "your welcome. Happy? Quit thanking me already..."

Taji giggles and helps him "sorry, I say sorry and thank you too much heh" she nervously smiles

RJ nods "yeah, it's alright- oh, I gotta fly us to see your expecting loverrrrr~"

Taji nods with a smiles and leans back on the couch

RJ sets down his controller and gives her the full screen with a kiss as he walks by "see you later lil miss. I'm gonna guess you aren't coming back to visit til the baby is born after we get there..."
He blushes silver and gulps "So... I like you Taji.... Just wanted to get that off my chest"

Taji smiles "...I like you too RJ...and...I can come over and visit if you get lonely"

RJ smiles before leaving to the cockpit "the only people id get lonely for are you and Russ...."

Taji smiles and continues to play minecraft till she sees something the corner of her eye and it turn into dylon to scare her. Taji's eyes widen and she immediately freezes up as he walks towards her "good...you're weak enough for me to posses you..." it turns into its true identity and giggles crawling through/into her chest as taji feels herself gasp and claw at the couch, wanting to scream but can't

RJ contently plunges through the portals to get back to Nimtunai with music playing

Taji winces and rests a hand on her chest and falls to the ground feeling her body heat up Except it's too hot and it feels like her insides are melting. She tears up and after 5 minutes go by, the pain stops. She pants and her body goes back to body temperature and she sighs in relief. Though sadly the process isn't over yet...

The turbulence and pressure gets intense with the ship passing through time and space.

Taji winces and crawls back to the couch still scared and looking around to see if the thing was gone

The ship plunges into the atmosphere, then the waters of Nimtunai with RJs voice going over the speakers "Taaaji, you're Maurixxi solution is on the counter of the lab. Remember, check out  the little guy for me or I'm coming down there and getting you in trouble"

"O-okay.." she says and heads to the lab and strips out of her clothes stained with a little bit of blood. She takes the solution and transforms back into a maurixxi. She then sighs and is ready to leave the ship

The cargo bay opens up for her to leave and becomes sealed behind her so it doesn't flood the cabin

"have fun Taj"

"By RJ..." she mumbles then heads out and swims off to the castle

It's just after lunch with Ten-Ten getting Russ to nap much to his annoyance- then promptly falls asleep. The baby is already taking up his energy pretty fast

Taji heads in and sees them then smiles and hugs ten-ten "I'm back!!" She whispers so she doesn't wake russ up

Ten-Ten giggles hugging her back with a little twirl "We have missed you! So, did you hear!? It is official! We have a royal baby on the way, and it will be a strong one from how much Russ-el has been eating and sleeping!"

Taji smiles winces a small bit "that great!! I wish I could've came back sooner but. Some stuff didn't go quite that well" she nervously says

Ten-Ten gets a small frown and sets her hands on her shoulders "is everything alright?"

"Eh sorta? Not really? Let's just say I'd look worse if some of my wounds weren't treated. The rest of my injuries are inside my body though" she says bringing her hand to the back of her head gently

Russ snorts in his sleep and wakes up looking at Taji "...Sweetheart?... Taji! You're home!"
He sits up and he's already looking rounder even with only a day with a more open tunic showing off the light pink belly stretching out and bowling out

Taji gives him a happy smiles and quickly gives him a hug starting to tear up and cry "I'm so h-happy to see you..."

Russ smiles sweetly giving her a gentle hug being careful of his middle "whew, careful- you could pop some of my eggs in here. I missed you a lot too! So you got what you needed?"

Taji hugs his chest and nods "y-yeah...though...I probably should've waited till later...if it weren't for RJ I probably w-wouldn't have been able to come back..." she says let's go to wipe away her tears "its thanks to that dragon salve that I dont look like a did after we got back on the ship..."

Russ frowns looking her over and getting up with a dark look "what? What happened?..."

"D-dylon...he was there...and...he found out that I wasn't a virgin anymore and he got p-pissed a-and...he...b-beat me up...h-he cracked the back of my head a small bit and my lower rib...I got a b-bunch of other bruises and a black eye but RJ u-used the d-dragon salve to heal th-those up.."

Russ looks pissed as he goes to the nightstand "I'm gonna go to the ship and fly out there to put that little shit in the ground-thats the last straw!!!"

Taji grab his shoulder gently "b-but you cant!! What if he h-hurts the baby!!?"

Russ twitches and growls out a trembling breath "I- I'll.... Globdammit..."
He sits on the bed and sniffles "I'm so UseLeSs!!!"

Taji frowns "n-no!! You're not! You helping a baby grow! D-do you think that's useless?"

Russ sighs setting a hand over his little bump ".... But I could have protected you if I wasn't... And I won't be able to for months! I'll be too busy 'growing a baby' being lazy and moody!"

"As much as it sucked, it's okay! It's my fault I went in the first place russ" she says sitting next to him and gently resting her hand on his bump

He blushes laying his head on her. Like RJ had said, checking results in a soft yet firm round smooth stomach warm to the touch and sensitive to touch. He giggles and hums at the feeling "no movement yet- that'll be when they hatch and start stirring like crazy. It's scary, but I've actually got at least 20 big jelly eggs in here, and when they hatch... They fight in my belly for room..."

Taji smiles "poor sweethearts" she continues to rub gently till a sharp pain hits in her head and she winces and holds her head "ffff"

Russ frowns crouching over her "did the injury transfer to your Maurixxi form? Ten-Ten, get the doctor!"

"Ugh" she runs her fingers to the pain and finds to small points coming out of her head. They're very small and hard to notice if you don't look hard enough but it hurts like hell

Russ frowns running his long fingers into her hair and pricks the end of his index with her horn "HSSH OW "

Taji looks at him with worry "a-are you okay?!"

Russ sticks the end of his finger as blue blood dribbles out "hssph- you have something sharp in your hair"
The doctor shows up first looking at Russ "Are you alright your majesty? Is it your stomach?"

Taji winces as the pain gets worse even though the horns are hardly growing.

He turns his attentions to Taji and frowns gently touching at her head "oh dear- I've never seen this... You're growing horns!"

"Wh-what?!" She asks getting scared

Russ and Ten-Ten gasp as the doctor checks her out being sure Russ isn't in the way of the scanner Ray's he uses "a few fractures to your rib and skull... Horns, and a darkness in you... Like a hot black void in your chest..."

"Oh no...W-was that what I saw in the chill room...?" She mumbles to herself placing her hand on her chest feeling scared

Russ frowns looking her over "is... Is it magic or something? Something supernatural?"

"I-i dont know. But either way...I dont think its something good.."

He gulps setting a hand on her shoulder "i-itll be okay. I have a guy- the next errand I gotta run goes onto his planet. If you want, I'll bring you really quick if it's seems serious... But if it's not and I can have you here while I go through the hell of having a baby... Then... I want you to go ahead of me... I'll stay here while you get better..."

Taji frowns "b-but I dont want to miss you giving birth...m-maybe I'm just overreacting?...maybe it okay..." she says mainly to herself

Russ sighs looking to the doctor and Ten-Ten. The doctor sighs "I will give you medicine for your fractures and pain... They should heal up in a few days with the treatment... Well keep an eye on you, but it doesn't seem to be an issue..."

Taji nods "o-okay...I hope it wont be an issue..."

Russel sighs gratefully with a worried look making Ten-Ten go into action to lighten the mood "who wants shaved ice? I heard the chef ordered some ice to make into 'snowed cones' because soooomeone asked for them?"
Russ blushes "I'm... Craving sweets..."

Taji giggles "I'm good, not really wanting sweets right now"

Ten-Ten smiles sweetly "then I'll get some for you water bear~ Taji, is there anything you do want?"

Taji shakes her head "no I'm good" she says with a grin

Russ lets the doctor touch and check him before taking his leave and then looks to Taji "then, howabout some sleep? I could use my napper in crime"

Taji smiles and nods "yeah...I could really use some sleep.."

His tentacles tug at her as he lays down on his side and pulls her to his back "I'm gonna start being little spoon- gotta prepare for junior here..." He pats his belly fondly and smiles

Taji smiles and spoons him then starts falling asleep

Russ falls asleep pretty quick snoring gently and curled up cutely. Ten-Ten smiles once she's back and just eats the treat herself seeing him resting so much better with Taji around "... I'm glad she's around to keep him calm...,"

Taji mumbles stuff in her sleep and furrows her eye brows as she hugs Russel's chest

(and probably a timeskip about a month. Russ will be 2  months in and be dealing with the hatching and inner quakening as new issues arise)

Russ wakes up at the end of the sandwich of cuddled in mates setting a hand over his now well rounded larger belly with a pained groan as the eggs move and stretch his skin

Taji groans In her sleep and starts to twitch and whimper in her sleep

Small scratches are starting to form in random places of her body and she starts to tear up

Russ wakes up and frowns looking to Taji with a hand over his riled up brew "T-Taji? Wake up- what's going on?"

Taji wakes up and looks at him with bloody tears "h-huh?"

His eyes widen wiping her face "Ten-Ten! Wake up! It's Taji-*Heurgh*" he winces feeling his belly move and stretch as little ones start to wriggle and spread out under his light pink stretched skin greatly contrasting his fiery red skin everywhere else "there's something wrong with her!"

"Wh-what? What's going on? Th-this isn't some joke is it?"

Russ wipes her cheek and shows her bright baby blue blood as Ten-Ten gasps and runs out of bed for the doctor. "See?!"

Taji rubs at her eyes to rub off some more blood and starts to cry more "wh-what the! Wh-why is this happening?!"

He sits up using his hand to push up his heavy torso and flexes his tentacles with a wheeze as the other goes over the top of his swell "i-i dunno-*wheeze*. The doctor might be... Able to help..."

Taji frowns "please dont move too much!" She winces as the small scratches start to to sting but she doesn't want him to see her in more pain so she looks away from him

"im- I'm fine- it's just the eggs- I'm more worried about you bleeding all ove-rrrroooouw...." Another stretch as the babies hatch and fill up the room even more with all their tentacles and limbs bulging out his skin

Taji looks at his stomach and smiles gently but winces as she sees another stretch from on one of her tentacles and a little bit of blood oozes out and she places her hand over it

Russ lays back holding his stomach and clenches his teeth just waiting for the doctor while curling a tentacle with hers to comfort her "ough... I'm such a baby... Ten-Ten will be back soon... Does it hurt?"

Taji bites her lip as she gets another scratch at her back and blood forms and she tears up more "n-no? Ow!!"

He laughs a little and tries to smile for her "you... You're... A bad liar... Oh fuck, so much movement in here... It's stingy when they kick around... They're gonna start fighting for room with how full I feel... Sorry- not trying to make it about me"

Taji shakes her head "no it's Alright! It's good to know they're at least Alright!" She says trying to keep a smile but its trembling and her crying isn't helping

He nuzzles her neck and kisses her to try to help as best he can, then the doctor finally comes in getting to cleaning Taji up and wrapping her wounds

The scratches continue to pop out of no where, the demon laughing inside taji's head, hopes the scratches appearing in random places, will confuse the doctor

Russ gasps getting to his side to reach into the nightstand as the confused doctor continues trying to help "*huff* it's a curse or something... Oh Glob- gotcha" he takes out a small white conch and clicks it around Tajis neck. "Here- It's from my friend!" The aura in the conch wards off the attack

Taji winces and holds her head as the demon growls then huffs and stops "you better be ready next time hosty~ remember what we talked to about~" it coos in her head and finally goes away for now and taji sighs in relief "thank goodness...its gone.."

Russ groans both in relief for Taji, and in pain as his belly begins to gurgle and writhe with an inner commotion "G-good... Well... Well get to Old Jaelia... We need to get you to my friend..."

Taji gives a shaky sigh and looks down "it's almost done...I'm gonna need to go back to the ship..." she says with a scared look on her face

He gets up with a hand to his belly "I-I'll come"

Taji's eyes widen "you cant!!...its the last part of the process thingy...the stupid demon told me about it...I'm going to need to be locked inside one of the guest rooms...well...if you were to come...you'd have to stay by RJ no matter what..."

Russ winces tearing up feeling the little ones bulge and press against him as he stands there "but-"
Ten-Ten settles one arm around his shoulders to settle him back down and the other rubbing at his stirring swell "you aren't going anywhere in which you could be in danger... Not with you in the middle of the quakening."
With Russ limp and groaning as she massages his belly, she smiles up at Taji "luck be with you love. Do you need a guide to help you there? Or for Russ-el to call the R...J?"

"I...I need russ to call RJ...I dont wish for any hurry but...if I dont get there soon...and locked into a room....people- or maurixxi might die...that's how important this is..." she says with a terrified expression

Russ reaches over for his phone still letting Ten-Ten massage him and dials "oooh... Right there Tenz.... Ah- RJ, I need you to come and pick up taji for a lock do-owwwwww- ugh, little buggers... Yeah, just come get her please?"
Russ groans hanging up  as his tentacles curl and tense up with the pain and stretch "okay... Ough... He's coming for yah... You'll be okay- I love you..."

"I love you too" she smiles gently and kisses him then ten-ten and heads off again

RJ brought the ship and close as he could over the castle and opens up the cargo bay ramp for her

Taji heads inside and waits for it to close

RJ closes it, then pressurizes the cargo bay once more to let Taji in. He's standing there waiting and frowns "oh Fuck- Taji, you look awful!"

Taji frowns "it's going to get worse...I need to be locked into one of the rooms...maybe it might be best to change back as well...ugh..."

He nods going to the lab and fetching a premade human vial and gives it to her "I'll bring you to a guest room- luckily they all have rubber sheets~"

Taji smiles and takes it transforming back to human but sadly her horns and her wounds staying.

Rj watches and sighs "I'll heal you up in a moment. You need to be restrained at all? Like.... Tied to the bed? Then after we can mess around"

Taji blushes and nods "yeah I definitely need to be restrained"

"alrighty~ so, you think you're keeping those cute little horns?"

"I wouldn't doubt it. Well at least till after russ gives birth and we get to his friend his was talking about who could possibly help me"

RJ smiles gently as he leads her up to the bedrooms and chuckles "so how is he doing?"

"He's doing pretty good." She smiles and grabs his hand to hold

He blushes a little and swallows as he sits her on the bed and wraps up her cuts some more "..... I have missed you..."

Taji smiles sweetly "..I missed you too RJ..."

RJ smiles bent down at her foot as he wraps up her leg and sighs "it's weird really.... I missed Russ too, but, I can't tell if there's a difference... I dunno..."

Taji giggles "well you will be able to see him after he gives birth"

"think I can come back down and spoil it anyway when you're done? I'd love to give him a check up- and I guess see Ten-ten? Meh. She's too pervy even for me"

Taji giggles "wow that's shocking. Well maybe its best to go while I'm locked in. It's going to get pretty bad"

RJ frowns "... You want me to leave you in here alone and tied up?"

Taji nods "I dont want to hurt you..."

"but what if that shit hurts you?" He frowns more and kisses her as he binds her limbs and torso to the bed with hookups from underneath

Taji blushes and kisses him back then stops "I'm going to be hurt no matter what I do RJ. I'm going to be possessed... and i have no idea how strong this demon is so I really dont want to hurt you, or anyone!!..." she frowns

RJ sighs "well.... Please... Call me if you need me? I don't care if I get hurt. I have back ups for a reason- aaaand if I get fucked up, Russ can just build a. Etter model with taste and possibly more sensitivity~"

Taji frowns but nods "o-oka-" her headache starts to come back and she frowns "oh no..you need to get out of the room now!!" She says with worry

RJ gets a scared look and frowns setting his hand on her face "N-no- you gotta have somebody to help!"

Taji winces and tears up "i-i dont want to hurt you!!"

He shakes his head wiping her tears "you wont- I p, I'll be okay, you'll be okay, then we'll go see Russ... Okay?"

Taji nods and starts to sniffle and starts to cry blood (since shes scared) "o-okay" she says and starts to get possessed and giggles

"...Taji?" He looks at her still sitting at her side

The giggle continues to hysterical laughter and taji's eyes turn blood red as the binds dont stand a chance against as the hands that were normal just a few seconds ago were now razor sharp claws and cuts them with no problem and she sits up "you really should've ran away~" it says in a distorted voice and stabs a claw through him

RJ grimaces and winces setting his hands on her arm "s-s-stop... I don't wanna hurt you either..."

The demon giggles "pathetic~ ngh...she's trying to gain back control....idiot..." it snarls and smiles and rips out its claw out of his middle and stabs him again in his chest moving the knife like fingers inside of him "man..no fun...you're a robot.." she rips out her claws again and pushes him to the ground and scoffs as taji gains a bit of control and her right eye turns grey "RJ!!!" she screams and the demon growls "quit it!!" It days and stabs the grey eye and rips it out and taji screams in pain

RJ pants holding his hand over the holes in his body and tries to get up "oh- fu-fu-fu-u-uck.... my c-c-c-core..."

Taji whimpers and the demon laughs as she runs into the wall causing pain to taji's body "this can do~" the demon says grins and continues to cause damage to taji's body

RJ gets up and pants hard holding his chest "okay... Now I'm mad..." And runs over to wrap his arms around her to capture her arms by the wrists "if I'm powering d-o-o-own... I'm pinning yo-yo-yo...you..."

RJ gets up and pants hard holding his chest "okay... Now I'm mad..." And runs over to wrap his arms around her to capture her arms by the wrists "if I'm powering d-o-o-own... I'm pinning yo-yo-yo...you..."

The demon tries to get out and growls "LET GO OF ME FIEND!!"

"ha....have fun locked... in this... ro-ro-ro-ro-room...." He winces hard coughing up some alcohol and lets out a choked groan falling forward taking her down with her and landing on top of her

The demon lets grunt then let's taji take back control still bleeding out from her eye and other Injuries

RJ is completely powered down and bleeding out oil like black blood over her

Taji looks at him and cries  "R-RJ!...h-how am I gonna g-get out? I'm going to bleed to death!!"  She says

RJ is pretty easy to move now that he's off. He was pinning her while conscious using his weight. CLAIRE pipes up with a click "connection to RJ11 beta build failed... Wonderful"

Taji gets RJ off of her gently and lays him against the wall "C-CLAIRE? C-can you call russel?!"

CLAIRE groans "if I were using my mobile model, i would have eyes to roll. Calling Master Avaryce"
It rings, then picks up with Russ panting a little with a gurgily groaning voice "ough... H-hello...?"

"R-russel!! RJ shut off and I'm injured and b-bleeding all over!! I dont know what to do!!"

Russ pants weakly and gets up from the pool he was in "I'm.. I'm on my way! I'll bring help Taji!"

"Th-thank you!! I dont wish you to hurry b-but please!" She says starting to get lightheaded from losing so much blood from many open wounds she has all over, having a hard time standing since the demon stabbed her everywhere as well and stabbed her legs

"I love you- we'll be up there as fast as we can!" He hangs up and gathers the medical members of the castle. He gets them to swim up there with him leading the way. He manages to get to the lab and mix a solution as the doors unlock for the doctors

Taji sniffles and starts to lose consciousness and passes out from losing so much blood

The doctors gasp coming in and going to her and RJ and starting to patch them up. Russ and his help get both of them down to the castle before needing to rest in some water to calm his warring womb

Tajis stops breathing a few times during their way back to the castle

The medics give her the serum Russ prepared so they can work on her Maurixxi form and get her stable and sleeping

After the do that she's a little bit better except missing an eye.

Russ comes in after a while and sits by her side shaking his tentacles anxiously

After a little bit she wakes up with a groan "ugh...wha?.. "

Russ sits at her side with his chin tilted to the side as he breaths on deeply and hand over his stirring belly

Taji looks up at him and smiles gently "r-russy?"

He snorts and groans awake rubbing his side where he feels a kick "ough... Hm- oh! Oh Taji- you're awake!"

"Wh-why can't I see out of my right eye. Is RJ okay?!"

Russ smiles sadly getting up and crawling next to her "he.... He's pretty damaged... And your eye got ripped out somehow... We were too late to reattach it..."

"O-oh..." she says and starts to sniffle "i-i told him to get away but he wouldn't..He didn't want to leave me alone with it..."

"well... That's pretty understandable. If I wasn't so fragile... I'd do the same" he smiles gently and nuzzles her

Taji starts to cry "i...I hurt him..."

Russels smile disappears hugging her gently pressing his belly into her side "... He's just an Android Taj... I can fix him... I was so worried..."

"I dont care if he's an android...I care about him like he is a human....that's just the kind of person I am..."

"I mean... I put him together, so it's a little harder for me I suppose... But he's certainly grown more emotional lately- ough" his belly bumped outward with painful stretch

Taji reaches a hand out to rest gently on his stomach

There's burbling, wriggling kicks and thumps going on under the thin skin. Russ sighs "what a day for the quakening... I haven't been able to eat a thing cuz they're all swarming and fighting in here. I-its fine though... I just want you to feel better"

"I dont care about feeling better right now russy..." she frowns rubbing gently on his stomach

Russ moans a little and lays on her side wrapping his tentacles around hers "oh fuck, please keep doing that..."

Taji blushes and smiles continuing to do it

He lays his hand on the side of his belly over hers and smiles sweetly ".... Thank you... I know I whine a lot... But I'm actually really excited to be a parent with you...."

Taji blushes "you...you are?" She asks

"feel all these? You helped make like half of them... That's the most amazing thing in the universe. I have been creating and incubating life in my belly like it's nothing~ I'm a baffled multi centuries old guy still in love with seeing the sciences of the cosmos"

Taji blushes and looks away,being too scared to ask if he'd ever want to have any human kids with her

Russ sighs with a happy look feeling their babies and giggles "though, your turn having some will be way more fulfilling .."

Taji turns red from embarrassment "h-huh?"

Russ laughs "yeah- well... Filling for you more than me" he pats his swell, then regrets it as the little ones bulge out the skin and kick hard

Taji giggles and begins rubbing his stomach gently again

He sighs helping on the other side "spiteful little fuckers... Ugh. As I said, next time it's your turn..."

Taji swallows and co ti ues to blushes "I'm actually a little excited for that heh..." she mutters

Russ grins kissing her lips "Well~ if you're ready... After we finish up here... I love kids"

Taji kisses him back and bites her lip "i-i...I am ready.."

He giggles ruvbjng little circles into the side of his belly "so you wanna baby cuz you're jealous of my lumps?"

Taji giggles and shakes her head "no..not because of that...because....i... I ready to be a parent..." she smiles gently and looks away to hide her blush

"more of a parent than me literally having a kid for you right now?" He raises a brow starting to get moody

"What? I-i didn't mean anything bad! I meant like. I'm ready to like be pregnant. Ugh I'm confusing myself"

Russ snorts laying on her side wrapping his tentacles around her and cuddles her gently "I'm just messing with you.... Ugh I'm so tired.. you wanna nap? I think the babies have calmed down a little"

Taji gives a small sigh of relief and nods "sure I could really use some sleep"

He smiles rubbing his side and cuddles into her "....... I'm..... Glad you're okay... I was waiting for you to be awake for a WHILE.... "

Taji frowns "I'm sorry...I...honestly thought wasn't going to make it..." she Mumbles

Russ pouts looking up at her with big pouty eyes "you won't leave me anytime soon... Will you?"

Taji frowns "i-i dont want to!"

He sniffles laying his head on her and rubbing his belly "you better not.... I need you..."

Taji frowns and runs at his hair "i-i...I'll try my best to not die...but...I can't promise anything...I have no idea what will happen in the future..."

Russ smiles sweetly and yawns at her side keeping his face way as he does out of habit "well... Whatever it is...

...I am happy its with you..."
