Jenny and the Beasts

23. Final Inning

5/5 updates for August 16, 2022.  With this, the main story is complete.  Thank you all so much for reading this spontaneous project that I wasn't sure I would even finish.  Hope you all enjoyed the Jenny's story.

 Jenny spent the last month of her pregnancy doing very little. She wasn't even worrying that much. Jenny thought it could be fun to watch the plot and Bai, but realized now how much stress that caused her.

Since she has already messed up the plot, there was no logical reason to stick around any longer. It was a shame that Bai wanted to move with her, but it took Parker and Harvey a long time to build. Even when Shuu came to assist. Him and Parker would fight most of the time. If Harvey made progress without them, Parker would tell him that it wasn't good enough.

Jenny and her abundant hormones may have threatened to smack Parker if he bitched and whined anymore. To her surprise, Parker actually cut back. He even looked very intimidated by her threats. Feeling large and in charge, Jenny decided that it had nothing to do with Winston standing behind her. Definitely not his doing.

Thanks to the chaotic nature of Bai's helpers, their den building was slow. Parker had lofty goals, but cruddy carpentry skills. His pride also got in way every time Shuu tried to help. Harvey was the only good one, but his progress was slow.

Jenny bit the inside of her cheek. It really pissed her off to see it. Harvey had no house, but was putting his effort into building Bai's. Knowing Curtis, Jenny couldn't see him letting Harvey sleep in the den with them despite the fact that he was one of the primary builders.

Jenny decided to distance herself mentally from the stress. Harvey was a big boy. If he wanted to put a girl before himself, that was up to him. Other than that, Jenny had little stress. Okay, aside from her approaching due date that is.

Eve made great company and Jenny taught her all kinds of cooking recipes. The other women also enjoyed her crafts and was interested in learning. Another women named Edith joined them frequently. Edith was vain and impatient, but was decent enough. Eudora mostly stayed away from them and Jenny was grateful for that.

The harvest came and went, giving Jenny plenty of grain. Itching to get to work, Jenny could only pout when the men wouldn't let her. She understood, she really did. 'Come on little girl. Any day you can come out now,' Jenny thought to her child.

One hurdle Jenny managed to get over, was comforting Sieg. She bugged him to carry her more than anyone else. Jenny wouldn't let him think that he couldn't touch her. She knew he was capable of controlling his strength. She was here to help him practice and insisted on it.

Once he was comfortable again, Jenny reduced her requests. It was great that she was still able to move around when she could pop any day now. Of course, she wasn't comfortable being active, but it was doable. Supposedly, her grandmother worked until the day she gave birth. Her water broke while she was working in the medical records department of the hospital. That amazing women walked to the ER and checked herself in. If she could do it, so could Jenny. At least, Jenny kept telling herself that.

When her water finally broke, Jenny almost didn't realize it. There was no big gush of water or soaked clothes. The only thing she experienced, that was different than normal, was a damp sensation in her underwear. Since she knew the baby would come any day now, Jenny called Harvey over for the millionth time that week.

Once he confirmed her dilation, everyone started panicking. Well, Sieg and Harvey were the exceptions. Simon was literally tripping over himself and grabbing everything he could. He ran into Mestor who was carrying Jenny's vodka. They fell over and Sieg caught the stone jug before it smashed on the floor.
