Erasure and Affirmation (Hypernaturals 11)

Horrible Lay

I wrapped Laura in my arms to make sure she did not fall off the table. When she gets in the zone, the world around her goes away. In this case, my youngest daughter is plugged into watching her favorite TV show on my phone

I looked up to see Simi watching us, and she gave us a grin. "Cartoon?" She asked

"No: She likes this show called 'How Stuff Works', and right now they are casting something with steel, and that is one of her favorite things: Watching molten things turn into objects."

"Oh! I forgot. This is your daughter that takes things apart." Simi said. "Your little genius "

"Yep. Funny how different kids are from each other. This little one got all of Morgan's smarts plus all of my Dad's. She is scary smart. Nakoma is a math wiz and great at mechanical things, and also the best big sister ever. Diana has mad verbal and social skills, which is good because she is probably going to help Laura along in this world. Diana always watches out for Laura. It is an interesting dynamic. Rachel has next level attitude and pretends she is not as smart as her sisters, but she was just born mad for some reason."

"What do you think your and my child will be like?" Simi asked.

"No idea. I assume she'll be smart and attractive like her mother. Hell: You had kids with that fuckwit Alexander and Zoe and Abby came out well. So did Tala. Their kid Kimberly is great, no thanks to Alexander other than him being there at the start."

"Now you are just trying to get into my dress." Simi said.

"No, I'm not. I am not Alexander. He is the one that held up helping people have kids by requiring blowjobs. Fucking Jerk. You and I, and for that matter Helen, already have an agreement. In this agreement you have said you prefer natural conception and that you would like for me to help Tobey deal with the intensity of the Bonding drive. The corollary to this is that I will not have to try to get into your dress. I know about the bonding drive. You will not be wearing a dress, or anything else. That reminds me: Tobey? Do not wear clothes around her you actually like while she is pregnant."

Jessica flipped that around for me. "Do not even try to wear old school maternity clothes. Loose-fitting dresses that look like tents will equal rags in short order. I bought a couple. Wore them once. Dusted with their parts after that. Clothes that showed off the baby bump survived."

"Is it weird to have a husband like that?" Simi asked. "One that loves you big?"

"Weird? No. Wonderful? Yes." Jessica said. "Besides: Those ugly ass dresses are now good at cleaning up messes. Cotton."

Tala, sitting to Simi's right, on the opposite side of the picnic table and down a little, studied me with Astral attention. I am not sure what she is looking for or at. She looked from me over at a nearby table where Angel is mostly paying attention to Vera. Tala asked me "Angel says that she is going to have another child to raise with Vera. She says you are going to be the biological father since you are already Nakoma's father and you and she are lovers."

"I hate to think all she wants is a matched set! Kidding! As Simi knows and I am sure you have heard, Tala, I will not father a child I cannot be involved with." I answered. "Vera is also thinking about having a baby with me. Last I knew, that is still the plan. I wonder if Kevin would like to help with that project these days. Vera and Angel take up a lot of his dating time. Whatever the case may be, I think they are waiting until they have been married for a while before they get going on adding babies to the mix. They are still figuring out the ratios. How much Kevin / boy to put into their mix. It's not an Angel requirement. She would be happy with just Vera and occasionally me. Helen. Jessica from time to time. It's about who she loves, not our flavors. Vera wants guys in her bed. Occasionally really demanding ones. I have confidence that they will get all of that square rooted over time."
