Taji gives a bit of a surprised look then smiles and tubs his head and then stops once she's asleep

Russ keeps to her side as long as he can until she's better once more. Once she's up and about, Russ gets to rebuilding Rj... Issue is, he's getting too big for that

Taji gets used to wearing something over her empty socket but still secretly feels really bad for hurting RJ

Russ gets up a few more weeks later hoisting himself up with a hand to his back and groans. He looks ready to pop, and he's only halfway through a human pregnancy "whew... You're getting heavy in there fellas.. finish deciding whos gonna be the winner so I'm not so over cumbered... At this rate I'm gonna have triplets"

Taji stays at the crescent island to collect her thoughts on everything. Mainly the demon situation

Russ works on RJ diligently in-between mandatory eating, napping and time with the children. Ten-Ten is not having him working while so far along. She's actually getting quite angry

Taji sighs with a frown while looking at the sky and decides to head back to the castle to check up on russel

Russ huffs with a hand over his swell and groans sitting down on the floor next to RJs half built body on a table. Most of his tools and parts he's using are on the counters around him on his makeshift lab, but the screwdriver he was using fell onto the floor-hence why he's stuck now

Taji gets there and sees him "need some help?" She smiles gently

He pants trying to get up himself, but he's too heavy now "i-I got it... Probably... I bumped my belly a little"

Taji rolls her eyes and heads over to help him up "here..." she says while helping him up

Russ huffs back up on the curls of his tentacles and laughs "whew- thank you... I swear after this, I'm so good being a carrier I won't have to do it for a looong time. I feel huge- and hungry"

Taji giggles then looks at RJs half built body with a frown

Russ sighs petting Tajis hair to comfort her "he's almost done... At least interior wise- I'm just basically working with one hand behind my back- literally...." He rubs his lower back with both hands "you'd never guess, but I'm a little pregnant. I'm so whiny"

Taji smiles gently and rubs his back to help him

He grunts and sighs happily leaning back into her "whoo.... Thank you so much... You know, Ten-Ten is talking about getting the doctor to put me on mandatory bedrest soon? My Ass- they aren't gonna keep me from building- them, or this big stupid belly"

Taji giggles "I'm not surprised. I should probably stay near you from now on. Incase you get stuck again"

He laughs bending over to screw in a glass chamber with a huge red crystal into RJs chest brushing his swell against the tables edge "very funny--ou-uouph* ow"
He felt a rough kick to his side and moans "c'mon man, just finish killing eachother off until I just got one little asshole kicking me in the gills"

Taji laughs and continues to rub his back

Russ sighs happily stopping what he's doing as she gets to a knot in his poor back and groans standing up straighter with a hand under his belly "you are a goddess... Oh my fucking Lord, right there..."

Taji giggles and continues rubbing his back especially in the places he wants her to rub

Hi muscles relax making him whimper and slouches back into her "ough... So nice... I fucking love you Taji... You're the coolest"

Taji blushes "no you're the coolest. I'm not as cool as you are." She says with a smile

Russ smirks turning to the side with the curve of his large belly in full view "riiiight. I can't even bend over to get a screwdriver"

"Even if that's so, you're still cool to me no matter what you do"

He grins turning to kiss her passionately with his tentacles curling around hers and lets out a moan "the shit you do for my ego~ phew, I'm a little... Ah shit, is horny an off limits word thanks to the uh... Horns?"

Taji giggles "no it's not"

Russ blushes with a hand on top of his stomach "well... Are.... Um...you... I'm pretty sure you'd be okay with it but..."

"But what? Is something wrong?" She asks

He gulps showing off a rare bout of bashfulness for his usual boundless self confidence "I need some attention... Am I still even attractive like this? I... Um..."

Taji smiles gently and cups his cheeks "of course you are!! You always look attractive! Even when you're pregnant!!" She says and kisses him then rubs his belly "and no matter what thing you are or even if you're just human. You'll get the same or maybe better response each time you ask. Because I love you russel..."

He lets out a little moan and kisses her curling up a tentacle under her hood with a hand to his stomach and the other to her finned ear and jaw "I love you too... Could we... Please? Help me to the bed?"

Taji blushes and nods "s-sure"

Russ gets up more and keeps a hand under his stomach as they walk and Wade through the waters of the castle, all the while fondling and kissing Taji

Taji turns red and tries not to let any noises out as she bites her lip

His hormones must be getting to him, cuz as soon as he's at that bed with her and closes off the chamber, he's on his back pulling Taji over top of him with a smirk "fuck, you're so cute... Help me out okay?"

Taji whines and nods "o-okay"

And they have a fun, yet gentle and exhausting time together until Russ is completely out for the count resting against Taji with the curve of his stomach over her. The few babies that are left gravitate towards her and kick gently

Taji smiles and pants gently and rests a gentle hand on his stomach

They're definitely his with impatient little thumps to her hand as a little hand pushes out into hers against his thin pink skin

Taji's face lights up as she presses her hand a little more against the hand

Russ hums curling up against her with his belly basically in her lap as he snores. The babies start to get active in the crowded womb and thump around making Russ groan and wince with a hand over his swell

Taji smiles more gently and rubs gently on his belly "calm down little ones..."

They seem to listen settling to his sides and letting them sleep. Russ hums contently tucked into Tajis side and falling more dead asleep. Ten-Ten comes in holding Gi on her hip and giggles whisper YELLING "you got him to nap! HOW?!"

Taji giggles "secret is, I have no idea!!" She whisper yells back

She giggles coming over and settling the little Maurixxi child down to scuttle over and feel Russel's belly "where is my brovver or sis'er?"

Taji giggles "still in there. They just now calmed down"

She beams up at Taji and pats his belly hard making poor Russ grunt and let out a wheeze waking up a little "ough... Too rough... Mmmnn..."

"Oh! Not too hard Gi! You need to be gentle okay" she says with a nervous smile

Gi flicks her big ears and giggles rubbing more softly making Russ smile and pet her hair with a tentacle "goo' girl....". He sits up a little and yawns "ugh, I can't believe I fell asleep.... I'm so weak"

"Its Alright russ. You really do need some sleep"

Gi giggles tugging at his arm "NOOOOO! Come play with me an' sisters, daddy!" Ten-Ten pouts coming over to kiss Russ and rub his belly "daddy has to sleep for the baby Gi"

"He can play after he gets some sleep okay?" She says with a gentle smile

Russ pouts laying down and pulling little Gi over his stomach for a hug "... I'm sorry baby- I promise, even if I'm still tired, well still play for a little bit okay?" Gi nods nuzzling his chest, then giggles "maybe you can get my baby brovver or sis'er out so they can play too" Russ goes pale "eh..."

Taji giggles nervously "that's not really how it works Gi"

Russ sighs "another 2 and a half months... I'm gonna be massive..."

Taji nods and lays down being pretty tired and sighs "yeah...man so tired..."

Ten-Ten smiles sweetly and gathers up Gi "here, let me go settle her with her sisters. Enjoy your rest you two"

"Thank you ten-ten" she smiles and gets comfy in the bed

Russ curls up next to her and has no problem snoozing once more as he wraps his arm over her

Taji rests a hand on his belly and falls asleep

And a few more weeks go by until Russ is at his hefty 5 and a half mark. He's only half a month away and supporting a good 50 pounds in a huge round and soft skinned swell that's made him practically bed ridden. On a human, this would be murder, but luckily he's Maurixxi and he's more built to handle the load as he sits there in bed putting the final touches on RJs body "whew... Alright handsome... This took entirely too long..."

Taji heads over to russ and sits on the bed "is he done?"

Russ huffs setting a hand over his stomach as the baby that finally won the full womb happily fills every inch and kicks "hh-ough- yeah, dispute this one's best efforts to keep me from doing so..."

Taji giggles and rubs his belly gently "you tried little one but cha failed"

Russ smiles and grunts sitting RJ up next to him, then groans laying back with some sweat forming on his face "whew... I even used lighter materials... But he's still too heavy for me to move... Just press on the roof of his mouth... *Huff"

Taji nods and crawls over to press the roof of his mouth and look up at his eyes

His eyes light up as he turns on and sucks her finger with a bounce of his brows "hey there sweetcheeks, how long have i...." He looks to Russ who blushes with a hand over his large belly and looks down "I... It took me a while to build you up again with the baby..."

Taji blushes and takes her finger out of his mouth with a small frowns and looks away from both of them

RJ laughs sitting up and rubbing Russel's belly all around "damn! Look at you! Youre enormous!!! And Taji...." He looks at her and swallows "oh fuck.... Are you alright? Last thing I remember was falling over top of you..."

Taji looks over at him then looks back at her lap "you should've gotten away when I told you to..."

RJ frowns guiltily and touches at his bare chest "I... I couldn't just leave you... You'd be even worse off if I didn't restrain you!"

Taji sniffles "b-but I hurt you..."

Russ groans rolling his eyes "ladies, I get it... I would have preferred neither of you get hurt, but it's fine now! Fuck..." RJ laughs a little "moody much there preggers?"

Taji lays down being tired as usual, having spent an all nighter again caught up in her thoughts

Russ sighs rolling to his side with some trouble "ugh... Just get this thing outta me already... I'm soooo uncomfortable"

"Though..You relly shouldn be...uncmfortable...zz" she mumbles nodding off

RJ gets out of their bed and goes over to Russel's side to rub his stomach some more "I can see why. This little boy is massive and his tentacles are all pressed up against your gills"

"So iz a boy?"taji asks but passes out

Russ gasps with a sleepy grin and falls asleep with a hand to his swell rubbing affectionately. RJ smiles with a giggle and walks off to let them get some rest

Taji hugs herself in her sleep and of course has nightmares like always

Russ bowls over to cuddle her as best he can with his stomach keeping her lower half away by at least a few inches

Even with the cuddling, she's still has nightmares

Howabout a kick to the stomach from her little bundle of tentacles currently annoyed with his lack of room

Taji snorts awake and looks at russ's stomach "hey now. Can you please not do that hunny?" she asks rubbing his stomach gently and falling back asleep

Russ hums in his sleep and cuddle her more with all of his tentacles curling around her everywhere. Russels water animal is an octopus

Taji blushes and tries to go back to sleep and have good dreams

Russ makes sure of that nuzzling her neck and chest

Taji blushes and thankfully sleep with no dream or at least no memory of it

The evening comes with Russ wincing and curling into himself with a low moan

Taji wakes up and frowns "russ?"

He sweats and sets a hand to the underside of his belly as he pants hard "ow.... Oh glob..."

Taji sits up and looks down at him "are you okay?"

Russ pants curling all of his tentacles up and lets out a pained howl "I-its- He's CoMiNg! Oh Fuck- Augh!"

Tajis eyes widen "I'LL GET T-TEN-TEN HOLD ON!!" She yelps and dashes out to find ten-ten

Ten-Ten was at the mercy of RJ so she's resting when she hears the yells and comes out tugging back on her tunic "TaJi?!?"

"The baby is coming!!!!" She says panicking a bit

Ten-Ten gasps running with her and starts to shriek both for the help hell need and out of joy "THE BABYS COMING!!!! EHEHEEEEEEE MY HUSBAND IS WELPING WITH OUR BABY!!!!!" Russ is contracting hard as he slimes all over the bed with blue blood and clear amniotic goo getting it all over his tentacles

Taji runs back to russ hoping he will be okay

Ten-Ten scoops him up and frowns nuzzling him "We have to get him into Water! The doctors will meet us there"

Taji nods and is ready to help if needed

Russ whimpers looking over at her as he holds onto Ten-Ten "sweetheart... *Huff* you won't leave me right?"

"N-never!! I'll never leave you!!" She says still nervously following

They enter a large room completely sunken down with water pooling in it. Ten-Ten dips Russ down with some issue and holds his hand. He looks upto her and then Taji holding out his hand "thank you... Whew... That already feels better ..."

Taji nods and takes his other hand

The doctors swim up and start to tend to Russ "so you're 2 weeks early Exciting!!!" Russ growls at him as he yells with a splitting contraction

Taji frowns still worried about him and gives his hand a small squeeze

Russ looks up at her after the contraction ends and pants "you sure... You...You wanna do 'this'?..."

Taji blushes "w-well yeah? It's s-scary. B-but it's worth it"

Russ squeezes the life out of her and Ten-Tens hands as he pushes again with a strained grunt "i-AUUGH...I HOPE SO!!!!"

Taji winces but still holds onto his hand with both of her hands

A few hours go by until the baby finally arrives swimming out with his little fins and tentacles flowing out in vibrant pinks and reds

Taji smiles gently looking at the baby

It really is big and chunky as a doctor catches him and trims the extra skin from the tips of his tentacles and checks his health, then comes up above water with him in his arms "ITS A HEALTHY BABY BOY!"

"Wow RJ was right!!" Taji smiles

Russ sighs tiredly resting his elbows on the ledge of the water "are you that surprised? He can see inside.... Cmere you little scamp" he gets the baby into his arm and smiles sweetly "look at this handsome lil man~"

"So what's his name gonna be?" Taji asks

Ten-Ten giggles with a smile crouching down to pet the babies wet hair "He will get my father's name! We agreed on that the first time we had a child!! Drune!"

"That's a cool name!!" She smiles and looks back at the baby

The baby nibbles at his little chubby fingers and wriggles his tentacles as he cooes with a burbly voice. Russ grins "Drune... Yeah, it fits... And I know who the mom is~"

Taji gives him a confused expression, not understanding what he meant by that

Russ grins lifting up the baby up a little to show off bright blue eyes peering out from the cooing bundle of cute. Ten-Ten grins wide and squeals "Oh! It was my egg then!!! We have ourselves a little red and blue wonder!!!'

Taji smiles gently and continues to look at the baby, being a little bit glad it was ten-tens, but also having a bit of regret of being apart of the threesome. She shakes her head not wanting to seem as if there was something wrong. "Welcome to the world drune"

Russ smiles up to Taji "he can't leave the water yet... Wanna climb in and hold him?"

Taji gives a nervous expression "h-hold him? I-I've never held a newborn before..wh-what If I accidentally drop him?! Oh jeez!! As much as I want to, no thank you!!"

Russ laughs "you'll be in water and he can swim. It'll be fine, sweetheart"

"A-are you sure?" She asks looking at him

Russ nods swimming out a little to give her some room to climb in "of course. He's still yours too- you're the one thst inspired him~ without you, this particular baby wouldn't have been formed in this universe"

"Well I'm sure you probably would've gotten pregnant eventually. But whatever you say" she says and gets in and holds her arms out nervously

Russ smiles tucking the baby into her arms and his little hands immediately find their way into her hair "but it's true. In another timeline, I would have gotten knocked up with a different baby- not him. Thank the universe and the one factor that spawned him, you Taj~"

Taji blushes "I dont understand but okay?"

Russ smiles gently and starts to look tired as his eyes droop and starts to let his adrenaline die down "no worries... *Sigh*... I'm so beat..."

Drune has heard her voice before quite a lot and smiles hearing her with his little ears wiggling and a big yawn

Taji smiles "I think this little guy is tired too"

Russ feels Ten-Ten behind him and sighs letting himself be held up by her "let's get everyone to the bedding chamber. Well get a tank so Drune can be relocated safely"

Taji nods and cuddles drune in her arms

Drune nibbles on her hands with tiny sharp little teeth as his little belly rumbles

Taji smiles and let's him nibble on her hands even if his teeth are sharp

A hand maiden comes along with a smile and Lacey gown pieces around her tunic like all the royal women and servants wear. She has what looks like a large round fish tank hovering slightly above the wet castle floor "I have the transport for the new heir"

Taji nods and sets drune in the fish tank

He skitters and gasps for the moment he was out, then settles down when seeing Taji again. Russ lets Ten-Ten carry him with his arms resting over his still slightly distended belly. Luckily he's so high energy- he'll be burning that off in a month or two

Taji yawns and rubs at her eyes "I really need to try and sleep more.." she mumbles to herself and follows ten-ten

The baby is settled into a newborn pool to himself, some fauna and some feeder fish to hunt. Russ is brought into the freshly cleaned royal bed with a very very very pleased and proud Ten-Ten for him producing a boy for her

Taji heads over and sits on the bed, about to fall asleep sitting up.

Ten-Ten gently tangles her into her tentacles and fingers and brings her over to kiss her and spoon her between her and Russ

Taji blushes and passes out

Russ sleeps for a good 2 and a half days after Words with all the blood loss and stress

Taji gets in some sleep but it still isn't much since the demon likes to talk to her in her sleep and that drains her of her energy

Ten-Ten gets up in the meantime to take care of royal duties and the children with glee~

Taji wakes up with a groan and sits up feeling bloody tears come out of her eyes and she wipes them away "what the!?" She says seeing the blood and tries to stay quiet so russ doesn't wake up.

Russ hums tiredly and shivers a little as he sleeps "brrr...."

Taji looks over at him and pulls the blanket more over him, then tends back to her bloody tears thingy again "ugh...this makes no sense..."

Ten-Ten comes in with some breakfast and smiles sadly "oh no, Taji-ji, your eyes...."

Taji blushes and wipes them away but more just come out and she give a confused and worried expression "i-im not crying though!"

She sets down the food and pulls a cloth from the belt of her tunic and begins wiping Tajis face gingerly "here you go... I desperately hope that when you and Russ-el come back eventually... You'll be cured of this and you and him with bring me all of the wonderful spawn you create together..."

Taji blushes "i-i dont think we'll have a bunch. M-maybe just one or two" she says nervously fiddling with her fingers

She giggles "oh, you will want more... Trust me~"

Taji swallows "i-i will? I-i mean...I'm just worried about this demon thing affecting them and like if something happens to the baby and it dies it kinda makes you a murderer- but like a legal one? I dunno I'm just so nervous about it!- and what if I trip and fall! And I-ve heard people could die giving birth. I had a friend whose mom died while giving birth to them and it s just so stressfull!" She rambles on and doesn't even notice that blood has stopped coming out of her eyes

Ten-Ten smiles laying her hands on Tajis shoulders "HEY. It is alright to have worries... But children are beautiful wonderful beings... And all of that... Is worth it for the chance to hold a little one that's all grown up and ready to start their lives after all you gave them~"

Taji blushes "i-i...I guess you're right"

Russ stirs fidgeting his tentacles and arms around with little stiffles whines

Taji frowns and comes over to help him

He swallows and moans as his face becomes drenched in sweat and contorted into pain

Taji shakes him gently awake "russ? Wake up"

Russ gasps awake with his hands down to his now empty belly and shivers with a few tears "it's gone... Whe-where is my baby?"

"What do you means it's gone? What is 'it? Drune is fine"

He pants getting a little more calm as he looks around at the two concerned women "... Ju-just.... A dream.... I... Oh... " He blushes looking down "s-sorry..."

Taji frowns "well can you at least tell us or me what happened in it? Mentioning an 'it' makes me super worried russel.."

Russ pants "there's.... Something coming... It's coming after our new male heir..."

"Something? What's the something?"

"I think it's an alien assassin... Maybe they know this is one of my planets..." He growls tiredly rubbing his eyes

Taji frowns but gives a small sigh that it might have nothing to do with the demon

Russ sits up and winces at his sore belly "ugh.. how long have I been out?"

"Um 2 days.. a little concerning to me but at least you're still alive"

Russ sighs getting up with a wobble "yeah... I guess I had been pretty dead by the end of labor"

"Seems so" she says and wipes off the rest of the blood that stained on her face

Russ frowns "were you crying more blood?"

"W-well um- yes?" She says nervously

"was it cuz of me? I'm sorry if it was"

"N-no no! It wasn't because of you! I- I actually dont know why it was happening... it just happened in the middle of nowhere!"

Russ frowns hugging her gently, then grimaces as his belly squishes against her "ugh, that's not flattering..."

Taji smiles and poke at his belly "I'm okay. I swear"

He giggles setting a hand over it. He kind of looks like he's got a bit of a pot belly from the baby fat, so it's not that bad. "He-hey! That tickles"

Taji giggles and continues to poke at his belly

Russ blushes and covers it more as he giggles "quit it! Dammit, I'm so self conscious"

"Well quit being self conscious then I'll stop!!" She laughs

He pokes at her and smirks as he laughs "hello pot, my name is kettle and we're both black and boil water"

Taji giggles "hey! You're supposed to be the one being tickled here!!"

"well stop tickling me on my baby fat, and we'll both stop you butthead!'

"Fiiiiine" she says and stops

Russ gets up kissing both women and smiles "alright, well I'm gonna go see the baby"

"Be careful" taji says and lays back down

Ten-Ten retrieves her tray and smiles " I'm sure he'll sniff out more food. Here, have this"

Taji takes the tray "thank you ten-ten" she says and gets to eating

Ten-Ten giggles "I'm glad everything is alright... I was worried he would never wake up"

Taji nods "me too.. I didn't think someone could sleep through two days"

She giggles "he is one to sleep a lot. I assume he needs more because he is so bouncy"

Taji nods and finishes eating

There's a loud splash and a less than manly scream that came from down the hall

Taji jolts up "wh-what was that?!"

Ten-Ten shoots up and frowns "That would be Russ-el!"

Taji dashes out of the room and to the location of the scream

Russ fell into the newborn pool and is being dragged down by a clearly not Maurixxi dressed in a black diving suit with 4 arms. Russ inks the area up with the baby in his arm trying to get away

Taji runs to them "what's going on here!?" She yells

Russ makes sure Drune swims away before thrashing against his attacker. The baby gets to the surface of the water and squeals in his dislike of the ink in his eyes

"Russel!! Go help drune!!! I can take care of this!!" She yells and grabs the person by the shoulders and uses her demon power to throw them into the water

Russ burbles and winces at his side swimming over still inking up the water as he pants making a tray of water with his tentacles and getting out passed them with the baby

The intruder splashes to the tiled floor another the water and groans glaring at Russ as he runs out of there

Taji growls and runs after the intruder

It's more clear to see that it's some sort of lizard alien with a long tail and scaly face in his helmet.
Russ managed to get the baby into the pool with the girls and pants passing out from the blood trailing down from his side

Taji chases after it getting angry

He drops some blue blood from the knife in his hand and ends up falling over himself

Taji makes sure he stays down "who are you, and what do you think you are doing trying to hurt my boyfriend?!"

He hisses flexing his fingers and growls "I'm trying to get a paycheck here lady! Get off of me! He's going to bleed out before I can capture a live bounty!!!"

Taji growls "so you're a damn bounty hunter...should've known...give me one reason to not put a horn through your head..."

"Think I give a shit about your damn family? Its your own damn fault you're in this situation..." she growls wrapping a tentacle around his neck and squeezing a little bit

"You're trying to take the one I love....i should make art out of your blood...." she snarls

He chokes and struggles clawing at her tentacle "No-Pleass!"

Taji loses herself for a minute and uses her horns to stab him like a bull into his back "perish..." She says while giggling

The poor guy is very gone. His violet blood spills over the tiles and his writhing body goes limp. The end of his tail snapped off and wriggled away

Taji giggles maniacally and plays with his blood and scratches through his suit and eats his skin while laughing and crying at the same time

The guards come in and restrict her movements

Taji gets dizzy and passes out for a second then wakes up and her eyes widen "wh-what the...wh-what did I do?..."

The guards start to pick up the scene and one frowns picking her up to set her on the curls of her tentacles ".... You seem to have snapped... Are you well?"

Taji gasps and covers her mouth then sees the blood on her hand and she starts to cry "i-i..I dont know..." she sniffles and backs up away from the body

One guard talks to the other across the way as they clear the castle "did you hear the king was involved? Poor thing just woke up today after having that little noodle sucker"

Taji runs off to find russel to see if he is okay even though she's still covered on blood

Russ is being healed at the moment laid down in the children's room with Ten-Ten ushering out the girls. He has a stab right into the side under his gill

Taji looks inside the room and looks at ten-ten still crying "is-is he o-okay?"

She nods watching the healer seal up the stab wound "yes.... he will heal up fast...Though it is most definitely as they say... Not his day..."

Taji hesitantly walks over to her disgusted by the taste of blood in her mouth "the intruder...has been taken care of..."

She frowns and nods with a sad look "... Thank you... If... You weren't here... He could have..." She tears up and looks away with her fingers to her lips

Taji wants to hug her but doesn't want to get the blood on her "I-I'd do anything to save russel...he's the first person to show me what love is...I'd die for him..."

Ten-Ten sniffles laying her head on Tajis and sighs "I understand very very well... He is my precious little mate... Come on... I'm sure he wouldn't like to see us all upset and dirty... Let's go bathe"

Taji nods and sniffles "i-I really d-dont like being covered in b-blood"

"who would?" She giggles a little leading Taji to a special bathing pool and climbs in

Taji frowns "it seems like I did a few minutes ago..." she mumbles and gets into the pool and washes off the blood

Ten-Ten swims over and starts to wash her gently with oils and gentle soaps "here you go"

"Th-thank you.." she says still frowning

She pouts a little rubbing at her skin with her long tentacles "it's okay love..."

"I just...I dont know what happened when I attacked that bounty hunter..."

Ten-Ten frowns "I heard a little... Are humans slightly feral?"

"...in different ways I guess yeah? I blacked out when I killed that guy...I had no idea what I was doing..."

"hm.... Maybe it has to do with those horns?" She suggests as a less than polite tentacle escapes under the hood of Tajis tentacles to play with her

Taji blushes red and lets her "m-maybe"

"hm, well... You and Russ-el are planning to work that out, right?" She adds another and smiles innocently

Taji swallows hard and nods "y-yeah"

She smirks a little starting to get that look she does when she wants some "you know.... As much as I know you need to leave.... What would another few months be in the face of forever?"

Taji blushes more "w-well i-it is really n-nice here...I-I wouldn't m-mind staying a l-little longer."

Ten-Ten smiles gently and purrs coming close and hugging Taji. Her belly is hard with eggs to lay and she kisses Tajis neck "I could let you have a turn carrying... I couldn't do that to Russ-el after doing such a good job with Drune~"

"I-i...I wouldn't mind having a turn carrying..." taji says nervously

She smiles kissing her lips and wraps her tentacles around her gently "so, is that's yes?"

Taji nods "y-yes"

After their bath and session, Taji should be in the mood due to the heavy eggsack full of eggs needing to be fertilized

Taji has a blush stuck on her face and looks to ten-ten "s-so what do I need to do n-now?" She asks

Ten-Ten strokes a tentacle over Tajis full belly and smirks "now you need to get fertilized~ I suggest Russ-el. He is very strong in genes"

Taji blushes and nods "o-okay. I-I'll go look for him"

Russ is currently resting up curled up in bed with a clear gellationous welt over where he was stabbed acting fast in healing him from the inside out

Taji heads over to him and puts a hand over her her belly, deciding on whether or not to wake him

He snorts turning to lay at his back. By now, it's clear by the swollen bright red tips of his tentacles that he's a little aroused

Taji gets onto the bed and crawls over to him then kisses him

Russ hums kissing her back and opens his eyes with a sleepy smile "mm... Well hey there..."

"S-sorry- I couldn't help myself" she says still blushing red

"N-no don't be- I could use a little attention... I missed being able to hold you" he nuzzles her neck

Taji hums "me too...c-can we...h-have a little fun?"

Russ sits up a little setting a hand on his belly "would you... Even like me like this?"

Taji swallows "I always like y-you..no matter what you look l-like..."

He smiles bashfully shadowing his face with his hair, then gently starts to kiss her "let's go slow- and no laying eggs. I just got the last resident outta me'

Taji nods "T-ten-ten said I n-needed to get f-fertilized"

His eyes widen as he kisses her and pulls back "wait- Taji! Are you serious?! You dont... You have her eggs??? Hunny, you'll be an incubator!"

"I-i know. I-i dont mind" she stutters and kisses him

Russ leans into the kiss wrapping his arms around her waist massaging his fingers into her stomach to feel the eggs inside "I'll warn you now... Maurixxi pregnancy isn't easy..."

Taji nods "I-i can tell..based on what a s-saw from you b-being pregnant"

Russ flexes his tentacles hood open to press his more than ready parts against her "okay... I warned you Taj... Guess this is another 6 months here huh?"

Taji nods "y-yeah.."

The session doesn't last long for once with Russ losing steam, but he made sure she at least got fertilized as he pants hard "ugh... My stamina is all gone... I'm so sorry..."

Taji pants "i-its okay, dont apologize, I'm pretty t-tired too"

Russ lays back and sets a hand to his healing side "ow... Still... Pretty good though... Right?"

Taji nods and lays next to him "y-yeah"

"cool... Hopefully that did it... I don't think I have another in me before that batch of eggs is no good"

Taji nods and passes out snuggling next him

RJ comes in after a bit, gets a slightly jealous look, then continues on his way

So a few weeks later after being cautious about leaving in case it worked, Russ is working on his core mostly and fixing up the filters

Taji wakes up and looks up at the ceiling with a small groan. "Ugh.." she gets up quickly and covers her mouth dashing to the bathroom

Russ snores tiredly and rolls to his side. Ten-Ten however, has been up and comes to Tajis aid holding back her hair "oh good! I was starting to think Russ-el failed!"

Taji vomits into the latrine. After she's done she wipes her mouth with her hand and looks to ten-ten "s-so it probably worked?"

She giggles "we'll see some weight gain in another week or two if it did. You'll have a pretty large clutch of eggs"

"I-i will?" She asks now being a bit nervous

Ten-Ten nods "yes indeed! I think you'll have a very healthy sized batch~ I'm so happy you decided to carry Taj-ji"

Taji blushes "y-your welcome? Thank you? I don't know how to respond to that" taji nervously says holding on the ends of her hair

She smiles "it's alright dear. You are fine- you're one of my mates~ of course you would have carried some of my young at one point. The queens harem are all wonderful Maurixxi beauties~"

Taji smiles gently "th-thank you"

Ten-Ten bends over Taji and drapes some of her tentacles around her still thin middle rubbing at her belly "no, thank you love"

Taji blushes and smiles gently and kisses ten-ten "y-your welcome then..i honestly can't wait to see if it will be a boy or a girl"

Ten-Ten giggles "once they're further along and you've had you quakening, the strongest will show themselves to be true, and Russ-el's machine can tell for us!"

Taji smiles "oh yeah RJ. I should probably go check up on him"

She nods helping Taji up "please do. He is most strange- he never wants to mate"

"He usually mates with either me or russel..I'll go look for him" she says then heads off to go find him

Rj busies himself with the library usually and he's currently in the middle of a large history book

Taji peeks inside and smiles when she sees him, then heads over to him "hey.."

RJ looks up at her and smiles putting out his cigarette "well hey there cutie~ you're up early"

"Yeah was regurgitating a few minutes ago. So sadly I'm up. I...I thought I'd come hang out with you..."

Rj nods scooting over on the jellyfish like beanbag chair "regurgitating? What's going on?"

Taji sits next to him "um...I might be pregnant"

"Yes please" she says smiling gently

He scoots closer and very gingerly spreads his fingers over her middle "mm..... Well... I don't see a baby- I feel a bunch of little quivering jellyballs?"

"Those must be the eggs" she giggles gently

RJ presses in some with a frown "eh... Oh okay... You have 34 eggs latched to the sides of your eggsack. Neat. I guess I better read up on Maurixxi anatomy..."

"Woah so much eggs" taji says in a little bit of shock

RJ grins "well yeah, you had eggs too- I assume Ten-Ten and her pervy ass convinced you'

Taji blushes and looks away "m-maybe.."

"figures... I wanted to nail you once in Maurixxi form, then get the fuck out of this water world..."

Taji blushes and frowns "w-well I can still...u-um..." she stutters having a hard time saying what she wants to say

RJ smirks crossing his legs "mmmmmmmmmmmake love?"

"Y-yeah?" She smiles nervously

"when? I mean, you're probably not good for it now... Just puking and all..."

RJ smirks taking the tip and kisses it "oh anytime~ these things are fasinating..."

Taji blushes and slides over another tentacle to rub at his sensitive places

"oo-oooh...." He blushes and shows a less dominant side laying back on his palms with a silver blush

Taji smiles being a little more dom and kisses him, sliding her tentacles into his pants and under his shirt

RJ swallows and kisses her back as his hands trail over her soft rubbery skin "mm~ so... You wanna go somewhere a lil more private?"

"S-sure. I-if you want to"

He grins leaning into her as he kisses her, then starts to stand "cmon then~"

Taji smiles and kisses him again then stands up as well "where should we go?"

RJ smirks puzzling his chin with his arm around her waist "hmmm~ howabout the maids chambers! We'll make it a fucking MESS"

Taji smiles "s-sure but if we get in trouble, I'm not taking blame" she giggles and kisses his neck

RJ let's out a moan and swallows hard wrapping his arms around her neck "n-not there- Russ put extra stimulai there"

Taji smirks "ooo~ thanks for telling me~" she giggles and continues to suck instead of kiss

He immediately hugs to her with a whimper "j-just... Get us there...."

Taji grins at his whimper and nods stopping to get them to the maids chambers

RJ starts to unbutton his shirt as he looks up at her with a smile "good, were alone~ well... Mostly. We've got a whole crowd thatll see everything from your egg sack. ."

Taji snorts and climbs on top of him "they're gonna see aaaaall our sins" she giggles and gets back to kissing sucking his neck

Rj lets out a breathy moan and wraps his long legs around her "Fu-fuck-...."

Taji giggles and continues as she slides her tentacles over to rub at his sensitive places again

(aaaaaand I'm sure they got down to business. There is a chance she laid eggs in him though)

Taji pants and kisses him "so...did that feel good?" She asks looking at his eyes

RJ pants a little curled into her and grunts feeling his elastic belly skin stretched a little from her eggs as a little bump "whoo fuck yeah it did ... I've never had so many limbs attending to me- then the burpling squirt you did at the end! Oh my good circuits"

Taji blushes and smiles, looking at his belly and gets a bit of a worried look "oh...I might've accidentally gave you a few eggs.."

RJ thumbs the rubbery skin at his stomach "hm... I don't think so. Even if so, it's alright I think. They'll slip out later"

Taji looks back at him "if you say so" she says and kisses him "I'm glad you enjoyed it~"

"I definitely did~ thank you" he smirks kissing her again on the lips "now if you'll excuse me, I was rebuilt with an all inclusive fuel tank and taste buds. I'm gonna try some cake"

Taji smiles and nods getting off of him and puts her tunic back on "I'm gonna go check on ten-ten and russ"

Russ should still be dead asleep. He's a fucking cat. he could sleep for days- Ten-Ten on the other hand is a morning person helping the kids get ready for their lessons

Taji smiles and heads to russ first

Russ curls into himself with a hum hugging w bundle of the large blanket over the bed

Taji heads over and crawls into bed with him

Russ hums happily cuddling her as soon as he feels the bed shift with her and mumbles as he lays his cheek on her arm "mm.... Missed you..."

Taji smiles and kisses his forehead and snuggles next to him "I missed you too..."

"mwhered you go....?" He peers up to her and smiles sleepily

"Went to go spend some time with RJ..." she smiles

He nods tangling himself into her limbs and yawns "so warm.... Mm.... I'm glad he's likin' you... He doesn't always like my partners..."

"He doesn't? Why not?" She asks

Russ chuckles tiredly "he usually either chases em off, steals them, or finds things wrong with their health or something.... It helps that I gave him an upgrade.... He can even process regular food now..."

"Well that's good, but I wonder why he hasn't done that with me yet. Theres nothing really to like about me. It's why I wonder why you and ten-ten like me..." she mumbles nuzzles next to him

"what's not to like? You're open minded, pretty in many skins, cuddly and soft, funny, sweet.... Need I go on?" He kisses her neck with a smirk

Taji blushes "I-if you'd like. I...I like hearing your voice...its calming..." she mumbles smiling a small bit

Russ smiles nuzzling her face as he hugs her "well.... Your hair is pretty and long... You pull of an eyepatch well.... You think I'm cute~"

"And hot, and or attractive. Whichever you prefer." She giggles

He laughs sitting up and flexing a little "and buff from all this work I'm doing lately~" his belly has shrunk down to just a little chubby curve and his abs, pecs, and arm muscles are back

Taji smiles and sits up to kiss him "hotty~" she giggles

Russ laughs curling his arms around her and smiles "look who's talking~ guess I'm up... In more ways than one"

Taji snorts "hey I'm not hot"

"shuddup and kiss me. I'm not gonna keep defending what I know to be right~"

Taji playfully pouts and kisses him "well the only thing I'll agree with is that you're way hotter than I am"

Russ snorts "true~ but that doesn't mean that you aren't just as hot- I mean... Did you see that ass and rack you have as a human?"

Taji blushes and looks away to hide her blush "i-i never really look at it m-much when I'm a h-human" she lies

"mmmmmmkay whatever you say... Now... Wanna blowie?"

"Blowie?" She asks looking at him

He sticks out his long wide tongue between his sharp teeth and flexes it suggestively

Taji blushes "o-oh um...sure"

Russ purrs a little kissing her and smiles petting her middle "don't worry, I'll be good for ya. I'm sure you could use it with a bunch of eggs probably growing and whatnot in you"

Taji blushes more and looks away to hide her blushy face "y-yeah"

And Russ does his boyfriendly duties with pleasure and makes sure she enjoys herself.

Taji definitely enjoys herself, being a panting mess by the end of it "o-oh.. goodness.."

Russ pants coming up from under her tentacles and licks his lips laying his head on her belly gently "whew... Good morning head?"

Taji catches her breath and wipes away her pleasured tears

"I'll take that as a yes" he giggles laying to her side and smiles looking up at her

Taji looks down at him "th-that felt... good" she says shyly and blushes

Russ smiles petting her hair gently "that's what I was aiming for..... You need anything?"

Taji shakes her head "j-hust a small nap"

He smiles "oooh~ you're speaking Russie's language~"

Taji smiles and snuggles next him him

A month later, There is no mistaking that Taji is pregnant with a round belly peeking out from her altered tunic a few inches. The quakening should be soon, and RJ has been a little reclusive and no one has seen much of him

Taji lays in bed and decides to go look for RJ since she's hardly seen him

RJ has been up in a higher level of the library studying and has taken a liking to snacking during his reading now with a baggy hoodie on

Taji heads up there and finds him "there you are!" She smile

Rj drinks a little water and smiles shyly "oh, hey sweetcheeks. Whats up?"

"How have you been? I haven't seen you much. Is something wrong?" She asks walking over to him

Rj cocks his head as he sets his book down in his lap "hm? Just a few malfunctions I'm working out with my new body I guess"

"Malfunctions? Like what?" She asks noticing the baggy hoodie

"well, I'm not holding my fuel well, and I'm retaining a bit of water" he shrugs getting back to his book and eats a bit of help noodles from a tray to his side

"Hmm mind if I look at your belly?" She asks getting closer to him

RJ blushes silver and shakes his head "I do actually. I'm a little self conscious of it. I don't want Russ to think he has to scrap my new body because of a little water build up."

Taji sighs and gives him a worried expression "please? I... dont really think it's a water build up RJ..."

He frowns and sets a hand to it as his belly burbles and gurgles with the start of the quakening starting for both him and Taji "eugh... Okay... It feels strange..."
He lifts his shirt to show off a rather big round curve

Taji sets her hand on his belly gently and feels for anything weird

RJ winces and groans "what in the hell-augh"

Tajis eyes widen a bit and looks at his belly in amazement "oh my god.."

RJ frowns setting his hand over where his belly stretched "oh my fucking- oh shit- I thought those got out! There's eggs in here! Th-theres 10 of them and they're trying to hatch!!! Augh- dont-dont tell Russ!"

"But RJ...I have to!...besides it's only fair since I told you when russ was pregnant. Also this time it might need to be known about since you're not a maurixxi." She says looking at him gently while rubbing his stomach gently

Rj swallows feeling around the side of his belly as the hatchlings wriggle around inside and thump at the sides making his stomach bulge out

"....please...?"

Taji shakes her head with a frown "I'm sorry RJ but as much as i wish i could keep it a secret I cant. I'm getting russel. I'll be right back. Please dont move to much." She says kissing his cheeks and his belly "be right back" she says and dashes off to find russel quickly

Russ is off with the fast growing baby and little ones swimming around to play tag in one of the nursery pools

Taji sees him then sighs in relief "russel!!"

Russ peeks his head up out of the water and grins wiggling his finned ears "oh hey! Hi hunny! You're glowing and beautiful~"

Taji blushes "N-nows not the time for me- You need to come with me immediately! It's got something to do with RJ and you need to know about it"

He frowns swimming to the side and climbing out- he's slimmed down more, but he's still working on his core "hm? What's wrong???"

"I'll show you. It's kinda my fault but I still have no idea how its possible in the first place"

Russ frowns coming with her "where-where is he? What's wrong with him? Wh-what could you have done?"

"Like I said- I'll show you." She says and takes him to RJ and looks at him(RJ) "I'm back and i brought russel"

RJ has his hoodie back down as he reads "eh... Yeah? I'm fine Taji. It's nothing..."
Russ looks RJ over and frowns more "RJ... What's going on? Is there something wrong with your body?!"

Taji takes Russel's hand and brings him over to RJ "RJ please.... Lift up your shirt so russel can know what's going on...."

RJ stubbornly glares up at her clutching the bottom of his hoodie "I'm not stripping to show off a little cut"
"Just a cut? RJ, you can repair that easy... Psh.." he rolls his eyes and looks at Taji "you're too cute"

Taji rolls her eyes "RJ stop he needs to know! It's not some cut, it's not a water build up, he needs to know that you're- ugh" she says letting out a frustrated sighs and brings Russel's hand over to rest on RJ's belly "feel."

RJ gasps and winces as Russ feels the babies inside flitting and kicking around "i-its.. I... I .... I guess they survived in here...."
Russ blushes a little with wide curious eyes "RJ... Let me see it now..."
RJ swallows and lifts his shirt to show off his rounded belly "fine...."

"See i told you it was important" she frowns knowing it's her fault that he's pregnant

Russ gulps feeling around Rjs belly "hrm.... Well... The silicone would have to be replaced, but they seem to be in your fuel tank... And it's.... Seemingly safe for them.... Hrm..... O-okay... I need to think about this..."

"Ugh..this is my fault...if only I didn't..." taji whispers to herself facing away from them

Russ frowns standing back up and bringing RJ up "it's fine Taji, there is a 75% percent chance I can keep those babies from dying...."

RJ gets a scared look setting a hand on his belly "what?! 75- what about the other 25?!?"

Taji frowns "oh god...that doesn't make me feel better.."

Russ gulps "well the chances are... I relocate them from you to Taji or me, you carry them properly... Or they die doing either of those..."
Rj's stomach gurgles and bumps out a little with the babies starting to fight inside as he rubs it "ough... I don't know what they're doing, but it's making everything feel uneven and like my fuel I've been eating is gonna come up..."

"like vomiting up your food? That's normal" she says still frowning

He nods getting a little woozy looking and lurches forward holding his stomach to puke over the side. Russ quickly grabs his arms so he doesn't fall

Taji dashes over to help over as well

RJ gets done and rubs his belly now more clear even in his shirt "ough.... Well... That explains my fuels insufficient... What about the power drain?"

Taji nods "yeah that's normal too"

Russ sighs "yeah... You're basically pregnant bud, or at least an incubator... I need to ask now... Would you want to carry them? If not I need to transfer them to one of us immediately. It's a lot of work and you gotta eat and drink properly for them, no alcohol or oil, and no smoking..."
RJ settles a hand on his stomach feeling the babies fight and stretch at his side "
.....I... I don't know why... But even though it's going to be hell... I want to follow through. I'll carry them... If only to learn about all of this
..."

Taji frowns hoping the babies wont die except for the natural way of course

Russ sighs gently and pats the side of RJs belly "okay bud... Please keep me up to date and study more an Maurixxi pregnancy, cuz youre already big for even a human pregnancy. We're much bigger than you right now..."

Taji nods "indeed"

RJ nods looking from Russ to Taji, then sets a hand over his stomach "well... I guess I'm going to have to diet? I dunno.... Ooh Ten-Ten is gonna have a ball when she finds out"

Taji nods "oh she definitely is" she says giggling

RJ sits back down and hums pulling one of the books from the shelf behind himself "well, in the meantime~ I'm figuring out what all this commotion is. They're all flittering around and making it hard to concentrate"

"Well they're probably want space. If they're already hatching from the eggs then they're probably being squished together. In a few weeks they'll definitely be fighting for space"

Russ grins looking RJ over like a proud dad "you've got no idea how proud I am that I basically unintentionally made you a probably perfect incubator~"
"Yeah, yeah. Big smart Avaryce Gore made a sealed area in my fuel tank that could house fluids and eggs"

Taji smiles "I'm still in shocked "

RJ winces again as he eats from his plate and rubs his belly in his hoodie "hungry little guys. I feel like a mobile fishtank, but with a budha belly"

Taji giggles then yawns "Aaaand I'm tired again. Ima go sleep"

Russ and Rj both agree that sounds like an amazing idea as even RJ yawns "you think you would mind some company? I could use a charge...."
Russ hums rubbing his eye to death "same with me. The kids tuckered me out- oh and Ten-Ten is after me again"

Taji giggles "sure then" she smiles

They trot along down the watery halls where RJ groans about his feet "ugh, I haven't been able to where long pants or shoes since we got here. I'm so tired of being wet"

Taji frowns "maybe we could head to the ship and get some" she says looking at him

Russ laughs as he gets into the bedroom first and yawns "m? I mean, as long as you don't stay there... You have a clutch chilling in your tank, and there's temptations in the ship"

"Temptations?" She asks heading inside the room as well

Russ crawls onto the bed, then helps the shorter Rj climb up with careful attention to his stomach "alcohol, cigarettes, weed, sweets, energy crystals... This guy could relapse before he gets the privilege of having the hatchlings cut out"

"Well I can go! I dont really like most of that stuff"

RJ reaches to a pocket with some issue over his stomach like a Rollie pollie "ug-ough- c'mon, I just need to get into My cargo pockets... I'm using mobile chargers"

Taji reaches into the pocket for him and grabs out what's in the pocket

There's a large block charger in a plastic bag to keep water out. RJ smiles taking it and pulls a cord out from his ear to plug up. It looks like he's wearing an earbud "whoo, thanks. I guess I've been having a little trouble cuz of all this... I just hadn't considered it to be something literally medical going on with MYSELF"

Taji giggles and sighs "I honestly miss my room" she sighs laying back gently

Russ laughs as he spoons her with his hands over her belly as he gives it a gentle pat "well, we could have been back to the ship sooner, if you didnt give into Ten-Ten and her ridiculous-ness"

Taji blushes "w-well i- I didn't think I was gonna get pregnant. And b-besides it's hard for me to say no" she frowns setting her hand on his hands

"it's fine Hun, I'm teasing you... I'm just impatient. But I'm pretty excited for BOTh of you having some of my kids~ this is a first in a lot of ways"

Taji nods "I miss the shiiiiiip"

RJ agrees pulling halfway to a restful state as he whines setting a hand on his baby bump "me too... I can't plug up anywhere here, it's wet, I can smell now, so all I can smell is fish..."

RJ agrees pulling halfway to a restful state as he whines setting a hand on his baby bump "me too... I can't plug up anywhere here, it's wet, I can smell now, so all I can smell is fish..."

Taji giggles. "I miss my stuff..." she blushes not wanting to get into detail that she misses her toys

Rj smiles taking her hand gently as he lays to his side to face her "... Well.... In another 4 months.... We'll see if my frame can even support one of those things"

Taji smiles "I honestly hope it can"

Rj chuckles "so am I gonna look as ridiculous as Russ?"
Russ snorts still cuddled to Tajis back massaging little circles into her belly "watch it, Robot Jones. You can't be dissing me when I was absolutely adorable with baby belly"

Taji blushes and continues to rest her free hand on Russ's hand "He be right tho- and you're gonna look adorable too RJ"

RJ blushes silver and sets a hand to his stomach as his hoodie rides up the slope of his quarreling belly with some presses and kicks can actually be seen "... I hope so... So, when should I break the news to Ten-Ten?"

"I'd say as soon as possible" taji hums and frees her hand from RJ's and rubs at his stomach "cuuuuttttiieeeees"

Rj blushes and smiles sweetly "ah-so that's why people like their bellies rubbed when carrying... Okay, I'll tell her when we get up"

Taji nods "please make sure I'm there with youuuu"

RJ grins "why? So she doesn't...." He loses his smile and frowns "she.... Could actually be pretty angry actually........"

Taji frowns "why would she be angry? I was the one who gave you the eggs RJ. If she were to be mad. She should be mad at me.."

RJ frowns looking at Russ who's well passed being conscious cuddled to Tajis back ".... Maurixxi don't actually care for machines... I'm just barely tolerated cuz I'm owned by the king and look like him too"

"Well I dont care if she's mad...if she is then I'm gonna be a little pissed...I'm really proud that you want to keep being pregnant even though it really shouldn't be possible...I really care about you...so if she's mad, let her be mad...you shouldn't need to care and if anyone tries to get rid of the babies in you..." her face goes a bit dark "I...WILL...do something about it...and it wont be pleasant...."

RJ blushes more with his hand placed to the middle of his belly protectively "... Well.. don't get yourself hurt for my sake... They're not my babies in the slightest.... So I have no right to tell her I wanna keep em in me if she doesn't like it..."

"But you're the one carrying them...so that does make them yours...I'm not going to let her take them away from you RJ...and if I have to be mean about it towards her, then I will, I'd hate to but I care more about you than I do about her...it may be harsh of me to say but it's the truth...you wanted to carry these little ones so that's what I'm going to let happen and no one and going to change that...not even if it's a queen or if it's a fucking god..." she says looking at him in the eyes as she rubs his stomach gently with both hands

He groans a little at the rubs and smiles reaching in to kiss her "thank you... Maybe one day, I can carry one of the ones you'll keep... I probably couldn't be the dad of course... But... I dunno... You will have that experience with Russ, so maybe it's not as important for me-ugh... What am I doing... I'm so glitched..."

Taji smiles gently and softens up a bit "maybe someday russ will give you the ability to create offspring and or carry...if or when that day comes, I definitely want to have a child with you...even though I'm with russel....I still love you just as much as I love him...I dont know If you have those type of feelings but....it would be nice if you felt the same way..."

"I.... I really think I do... But I don't know if it's programming... Or something new in me that shouldn't be there... I feel so strange..." He frowns looking down as he lays there charging

Taji smiles "whatever it is...I'm glad you have...." she smiles gently then yawns again "I'm getting sleepy..." she wraps her tentacles around and and a gentle one protectively around his stomach "I love you RJ...be sure to wake me when you go talk to ten-ten...okay?...zzz" she says and passes out

RJ nods and mimics her closing his eyes as he charges. Russ can snooze forever so he's not the first one up unless he has to.
That would be RJ waking up to his belly being bludgeoned from the inside and moans feeling the press of the little fighting hatchlings inside

Taji feels the babies inside moving around and wakes up "hmm..you okay?"

Rj winces and grunts rubbing his belly "eugh... Yeah... It's a little annoying I'm the only one feeling this so soon, and you have other twice the amount of them in you! I'm just... Not big enough for them all..."

Taji frowns and sits up "it's alright...it sucks, yeah. But you stretch out. Kinda like when you have sex you stretch out a bit. At least, I think that's how it works" she says still being a bit innocent.

Rj laughs sitting up and tugging his hoodie down with little luck as it rides up his growling baby bump "hrm... I guess so, in the meantime, I get to finally say that I'm freaking starving!"

Taji giggles "we can go eat and during that, we should also go tell ten-ten that you're pregnant as well"

Rj's smile fades tugging at the bottom of his hoodie some more with his belly breaking free easily "but... I'm kinda nervous to... Can't she just wait til I can't hide it anymore?"

Taji frowns "I know you're nervous but....we need to tell her..."

".... Okay... Youre right. Jus... Don't leave my side? Please?"   He asks this with a scared look while standing to finally fix his hoodie

Taji takes his hand gently "I will never leave your side" she says and kisses his forehead

Rj blushes silver and frowns looking to Russ "... I feel guilty... Isn't he supposed to be the one getting your attention?"

Taji rolls her eyes "you deserve my attention too RJ especially since your carrying the eggs I put in you"

"fair, but... At least see if he's hungry too." He pouts easing his way back onto the bed with a hand to his stomach to support it

Taji watches him and heads to the other side to help

Rj shakes Russel's shoulder gently and smirks "hey dumbass, you hungry?"
Russ snorts balling his tentacles around himself as he yawns "mmm.... mmhungy..."

Taji giggles "wanna come eat with us?"

He peeks an eye open and smiles with a big yawn "hhhooiuuuuuuuuuuueeeeeeegh... Myeah... Gmornin..."

"Gooood morning silly"

RJ smiles gently and looks away as he tries to get down from the bed with a grunt. Russ reaches over and helps him down "here bud, you don't need to bust your face up trying to get down"

Taji nods and heads over to help as well while kissing RJs head

RJ blushes hard and swallows petting his hair back "you guys are being so nice- is it just cuz of the babies?"

Taji frowns "no! You being pregnant just adds to it!! At least to me I dunno about russ" she smirks

Russ laughs getting down and rubs both Taji and Rjs stomach's "it adds to it at least in the helping you up and down places part. I wanna keep letting you carry, but if you have an accident, that's it. Transplanting will occur immediately after..."

Taji frowns and looks away then looks back to RJ "he's right...though I'm still worried about...what we were talking about last night...I honestly hope she isn't mad..."

RJ gulps and nods, then hears his stomach let out a loud rumble making him set a hand over it "geez I get it, you're draining my resources in there... .ugh, I'm so hungry"

"Let's go eat then...go talk to her..." she says frowning with a worried look

Russ smirks gently leading the way to the dining pools "it'll be fine guys. And if not, I'll talk to her too."
Feed is all laid out with lots of healthy choices and meats of all sorts

Taji smiles as her stomach grumbles when she sees the food "fooooood"

RJ is actually the one to ease himself into the water and have at some fish and noodles with a hungry look "mm- ohh~ okay, yeah that hit the spot".
Russ laughs helping Taji in and goes for some large green fruits "I guess Ten-Ten laid out food, then went to walk the kids to their lessons..."

Taji frowns and looks at the food with a bit of worry. Not about the food but about what ten-ten will say when they tell her

RJ eats quite a bit making the fabric of his shirt tight around his belly and rubs it with a smile "whew... That better be enough. I couldn't eat another bite..."

Russ laughs "geez RJ leave some for the rest of us"

Taji smiles gently and eats her food slowly

Russ nudges a plate to float over to Taji with the sweet fruits on them and works on some meat "mm Taji, try these!"

Taji looks at the plate eats a few pieces of the fruit. Then goes back to eating what she was eating.

RJ reaches over for a fruit and chuckles "okay, one more bite to try this..."
Ten-Ten comes in and giggles "my, you all are hungry this morning! How are all of you?"
