"Compared to his siblings, yeah.", Lionheart chuckled. "Certainly, things are going to get quite a bit more crowded down here though... not to mention what's going on back up on the surface... rapid changes and all that Mama and Papa would've never dreamed of growing up..."
Silvergrace chuckled lightly, "Too right. I'm amazed at how your parents have taken well to ruling a nation. And the surface is healing from what your mother told me, having third-world countries helped out by the food size ray, and the new landmasses from the occasional nuclear transmutation Doc brings down here, and all.".
"Certainly, a totally different world that's growing, one that's healing.", Lionheart chuckled. "Somehow... for what crazy reason... I think the Quantonium knew... all along in some crazy way, you know? Knew about almost everything that would happen..."
Silvergrace smiled fondly, "I think the Quantonium here is raised on good morals, and the one that changed your parents, is in peace. All the same, the entire Earth, inside and outside, it will be a great home for all generations across time.", giving him a kiss.
"Well, certainly until the sun finally goes out billions of years from now.", Lionheart joked with her. "Of course, that'll be so long from now and for all we know, our future offspring themselves will figure out that problem. What we have already begun to accomplish has probably made sure a much brighter future for our grandchildren and their offspring for many years to come.", he said.
Silvergrace nuzzled him softly, "It's so nice to think that our family is integrating into the world, and one day, we will be ancestors, and our story will be told for eons. But yes, you're right, a brighter future is quite the idea of paradise on all paths.", a soft giggle escaping from her.
Lionheart hummed lightly, "Paradise all around the world sounds good to me.", his nose nuzzling into her hair, her scent making him content as Silvergrace sighed happily.
Meanwhile, the couple was right, for in another place, Crystalmoon is finally convincing Spottedstar to enter her womanhood.
Spottedstar asked anxiously as he sat before Crystalmoon, facing her front as his manhood is lined up to her vagina, "Are you absolutely sure you're okay to do this, Crystal?".
Crystalmoon smiled at him as she half sat, half laid against a tree, "I've been ready for this since forever, my bright star.", placing a hand on his shoulder gently, "You can do this, Spot.".
"Okay...", Spottedstar meekly nodded. "Just, the last thing I want to do is hurt you and all that; I know we're both way tougher than most normal beings but, you never know.", he tried to tell her as he slowly started to press himself against her womanhood. "It's about to go in, okay?".
Crystalmoon nodded softly, "Go on, Spottedstar. Go slow if you must. I'd rather want you to be comfortable than anything else.", smiling reassuringly.
Spottedstar nodded as he took another deep breath and slowly pushed his way into her. "Oh...", he moaned out as he started to feel the pleasure from pushing into her. "This feels... incredible...", he admitted. "How are you doing, Crystalmoon?".
Crystalmoon sighed softly, "I'm doing good, my bright star. You feel so perfect. You can keep going.", her eyes sparkling in pleasure and love.
"Okay.", Spottedstar briefly nodded as he kept pushing in as far as he could, as slow as possible though since his nerves were also still driving him in a way. "Sorry, I'm just trying to get my footing, you know?", he apologized as he leaned forward to gently kiss her neck.
Crystalmoon gave a moan of pleasure as she felt her neck being kissed by her mate while feeling his manhood get deeper each moment into her, patient for the slow pace of it all, "It's alright, Spot. Better to be a bit nervous than miss out on this, hmm?", giving him a gentle kiss on the lips.
"Oh, you're now just teasing me about your body, huh?", Spottedstar gave a small smirk as he pushed in harder now. "You do have an amazing body... and it is all mine...", he told her as he kissed her once more, this time on the lips.
Crystalmoon smiled and whispered softly, "Yes, Spottedstar, I'm all yours, and you're mine, forever.", moaning as her walls contracted around the slow-moving manhood, feeling tight and warm.
"Oh, Crystal...", Spottedstar moaned once more as he finally pushed as hard as he could through her and broke her hymen before pushing as far as he could into her.
Crystalmoon gasped out in pleasure, "Oh, yes, Spot, yes.", before moaning even more when she finally felt her g-spot hit by his manhood, "You did it, my bright star, you did it.", her mind barely focusing as she is enjoying all the pleasure.
"Well, not yet, I haven't.", Spottedstar admitted. "Unless we're decided that it's the right time for us to have our own children. I know I'm getting more siblings and the ones I have now will shoot for kids first chance they get themselves...", he chuckled as he slowly started to pull back as he was trying to get a rhythm going with her and make sure he could keep hitting her g-spot to give her as much pleasure as he possibly could give her.
Crystalmoon chuckled, "Oh, I know. I meant that you actually did go all the way in without any nerves. I'm so proud of you, and it doesn't hurt at all, nothing painful at all, so you can now make me want it, and yes, I want to have a child with you, Spot.", moaning in pleasure at the motions he's doing in her.
"Okay, Crystal, I'll try.", Spottedstar said, meaning that he would try to steel his nerves as he kept going on her as he pushed deep and hard with her as he was starting to pick up some speed and it could be told that he was starting to gain some confidence.
Crystalmoon gasped and nodded fiercely as she wrapped her legs around Spottedstar's body, "Yes, yes, oh, you're doing great! Faster, my bright star!".
"You got it, Crystal, my dear.", Spottedstar kissed her once again as he pushed again; his dick really starting to ravage her insides as he continued to thrust into her with a growing confidence.
Crystalmoon moaned every time Spottedstar's cock hit her g-spot, and soon, she felt like she was going to erupt, "Spottedstar, I'm so close!".
"I can feel myself close too... think... you think we can both come at the same time?", Spottedstar asked her as he picked up the speed and really was just moving at such a fast momentum; probably faster than most Eternals, though that may have something to do with the little butterfly DNA in him.
Crystalmoon looked at him with a wonky smile, her mind barely conscious, "Let's find out, shall we?", as she gasped, feeling the speed of his thrusts into her.
"Oh, Crystal, I'm so close now... it feels so good!" He shouted out at her as he kept going more and more with both of them just moments away from practically bursting from pleasure.
Crystalmoon screamed out, "Spot!", her first orgasm crashing through her as Spottedstar cried out, "Crystalmoon!", bursting out with load after load of sperm, his first climax driving through him.
In Crystalmoon's womb, one egg rests within, and soon was welcomed by the strong swarm of sperm, and eventually, with a bit of hard work, one very lucky sperm fertilized the egg, changing into a fetus, thus making Crystalmoon pregnant.
Spottedstar collapsed right on top of her as the two of them began to calm down. "Oh, my... that... that was great, love.", he said as he kissed her on the lips once more.
Crystalmoon returned the kiss with a smile, "More than great, my bright star. It was glorious. Are you glad that you didn't wait?", panting a bit heavily as she rested her head back on the tree.
"Well, I'm glad you at least talked me into it... I don't know if I would've mustered up the courage to do this for at least a few years.", Spottedstar admitted as the two of them chuckled.
Crystalmoon smiled reassuringly, "I always love you no matter what, Spot. We are soulmates just like everybody else in the family, though Uncles Doc, Link, and B.O.B. are exceptions to it.".
"Eh, those three are always kinda weird at times...", Spottedstar said. "Still, always nice to see them on occasion.".
Crystalmoon giggled softly, "I agree.", kissing him softly before noticing that he's still in her, "Care to pull out? After all, you talked earlier about swimming in one of the pools.".
"Oh, right, sorry.", Spottedstar quickly apologized as he begun to pull right back out of her. "Yeah, I guess this wouldn't be a good idea if we want to go swimming and all that.", he admitted as he took a deep breath, still somewhat trying to recover from the energy that was spent in their love making.
Crystalmoon smiled softly, "Let's compromise then. How about just dipping our feet in the cool water, and enjoy some quiet time? After all, we aren't going back to the village. You heard Mother. After all, this is the mating ceremony, and we have plenty of time to enjoy ourselves, at our pace, of course. I wouldn't want to scare you off, hmm?", giving Spottedstar a teasing look.
"Hey, I'm not that bad!", Spottedstar tried to argue as he blushed. All his life she teased him about his shy nature, but she also always somehow brought out a more confident and forward side, though it was on a very rare occasion.
"We don't have to dip our feet; I want to go proper swimming with you... just so long as it's just you.", Spottedstar smiled. Crystalmoon kissed him softly on the cheek, "I love you, Spottedstar.".
"I love you too, Crystalmoon." He smiled as the two of them walked over to the nearby pool. It was actually one of the larger ones at the center of the planet which gave it more of an almost Olympic size by their comparison.
Meanwhile, the last couple of the family, Esme and Tristan, in a place near Oakwood Falls, is enjoying a bit of roleplay as Tristan is riding Esme, slapping her arse playfully with a hint of passion, "Beg for me, my sexy cowgirl!", standing up as Esme laid back on a table-like rock.
"Oh, yes, my lord! Fucking ride me so hard! Break me like the wild animal I am!", Esme cried as he kept going on her; the two of them just once more in the crazed throws of passion.
Tristan whooped out loud, "No doubt you are a feisty filly, lass! After all, you have robbed me of my heart on that train.", as he thrusted and pushed into her, a smile as he ravaged her passionately.
"Well, it's hard not to fall for a sexy desperado such as yourself!", Esme laughed as she moaned again from another thrust.
Tristan grinned, "Is that wit I hear? Do you want more, feisty one?", pushing as deep as he could, hitting the g-spot.
"Yes, yes!", Esme cried out some more as she kept hanging on to the rock that Tristan was really putting down some force on; she was almost half expecting it to break any moment now on them with how hard they were going.
Tristan, having much experience, can tell that she's real close, "Do you want me to fill you, my feisty filly?", his manhood hard and tight as he thrusted again and again.
"Please, fill me up, oh, you rough bandit!", Esme shouted as she was on the verge of finally bursting at any moment.
Tristan gave his biggest and hardest thrust, hitting the g-spot, finally erupting load after load of his sperm as he screamed out, "Esme!", barely conscious of the sound from the rock cracking somewhat underneath them.
The rock collapsed, causing the two of them to fall on it. While it was sharp, their Quantonium infused bodies actually made the rock pieces crumble into dust as more weight was pushed on them as they got smaller when they kept cracking into smaller pieces. The two of them hit the ground as Tristan continued to fill her up.
The Quantonium has sensed their long experience in lovemaking, and how they have wished to have a family themselves after waiting so long. And so, deep in Esme's womb, there's three eggs, and the crowd of strong sperm soon met them, and a few lucky ones fertilized them into triple fetuses.
The two of them began to calm down as they tried to relax from the love making once more, while also dusting themselves off a bit as Esme moved to the point that Tristan's dick pulled out of her before she got back on top of him. "So... if this was a rodeo, how would you judge me?", Esme teased him as she ran a finger along his chest.
Tristan laughed warmly, "10 stars, my love. You'd make an excellent cowgirl if we had a rodeo down here.", as he caressed Esme's hair.
"To be fair, if we shrink down a bit, we could do that with a few of the dinosaurs... if we were crazy enough.", Esme giggled as she gave him a little kiss on the cheek.
Tristan chuckled, "Do you think the village could agree to it if we do a rodeo one day? Though it's up to the chief and chiefess, though.".
"Nah, I don't think so there... especially since they all can turn into dinos, might be seen as disrespectful in a way. Wouldn't want Phillippe to be coup'd, would we?", Esme shook her head.
Tristan nodded, "As always, you know what to say. And yeah, Phillippe deserves peace and happiness more than a coup.", kissing her softly, "Besides, I just want to spend all the precious moments with you, the family, and our child/ren. We can find out at the feast as we just could ask one of our friends or even Silvergrace to smell if you're pregnant.", with a tender smile as he rubbed her belly.
"With how much you unloaded in me this time, and with how long we've waited, it's probably children rather than just one.", Esme chuckled as she kissed him on the lips once more. "Seriously, you were just really pent up this time, love.".
Tristan blushed with a sheepish smile, "Even before Silvergrace mentioned the mating ceremony, I was thinking about it already.", before giving out a soft sigh, "You always look so happy when we did babysitting days with Crystalmoon and the others. I cannot wait to experience those content days when we relax in bed, with your belly swelling with children, feeling those kicks and all. Speaking of which, do you want to do a home birth in our manor up on Ripple Island, or should we stay here while we ask Doc to watch over things for us?".
"I think we'll probably be better off on the surface, you know what I mean? Phillippe is the one who fits more down here now than we do.", Esme admitted to him as she sighed. "Besides, we've got something we have to take care of up there and can't really just vanish for a couple of months now.".
Tristan nodded, "True. Still, we can stay for the next couple of days, and find out if you're pregnant, and then we can teleport home. We can head back after the birth as letters and pictures wouldn't hold the real thing.".
"Oh, of course.", Esme smiled. "Want our little ones to meet their huge family as soon as possible. Plus, you know, everyone down here would want to see them too.".
Tristan kissed her softly, "Indeed, and maybe you might be first in giving birth. After all, you heard that the dynamics of children and grandchildren is like a roller roaster, depending on the time of labor for everyone else. I mean, for sure, Silvergrace is bound to be pregnant, same thing for Bea's lovers, and I bet Crystalmoon is pregnant as well, and perhaps Echohawk too.".
"Who knows there, we're just going to have to wait and see with all that.", Esme said as she rubbed her belly. "Still, it'll be nice to finally have our own little ones running around.".
Tristan smiled, "It'll be great.", kissing her tenderly as he held her in his arms, "So, want to go for Round 2?", and Esme giggled, kissing him passionately, "You know it, love.".
And so, two days later, at the feast, when the family came back, it was announced that Crystalmoon, Esme, Bea's lovers: Cloudtangle and Thorncrow, Silvergrace, Echohawk is pregnant, through it was a surprise to find out that Lionheart and Rabbitspring is pregnant as well.
Esme and Tristan told the others that they had to head back home to the surface, and with hugs and kisses, they returned home.
It's honestly crazy all those Eternals as well as the Murphy family would tell with just how fast sometimes life goes for them. With their longer life spans, it would seem that some things don't move as fast such as raising all of their children and things like that, but when it comes to the pregnancies, those often just rushed by with the time; even when it was a shorter gestation period.
On Ripple Island, in their manor, in their bedroom, Tristan and Esme is cuddling in bed, rubbing and stroking Esme's belly which is large compared to her sister-in-law and others. Esme chuckled softly as she felt a hard kick, "Easy, darling.".
"Little hard to tell which one of the 3 of them in there is doing the kicking. For all we know, it's just one of them.", Tristan chuckled as he gently kissed his wife's belly.
Esme smiled warmly, "Well, I think that's our boy. He's a mama's boy.", her other hand caressing through Tristan's hair.
"Nah, that's only a something a girl could do.", Tristan smirked as he laid against the belly with the side of his head. "Either way though, I think these three are probably going to be coming any day now... with how much they've kept us up this past week.".
Esme nodded, "Oh, that's for sure. They had a party almost every night. Thank god that they go back to sleep around midnight.", before humming in thought, "You know, we haven't decided on any names for them.".
"Well, to be honest, we've really hadn't had much of the conversation with them around. I guess just being kinda busy with things kept us from really having this talk until now.", Tristan said.
Esme chuckled warmly, "Yeah, the planting schedule was crazy, especially when Ripwave Town asked for pumpkin seeds to plant. But back to us, let's start easy. We can start with our favorite girl names. I like the sound of Taylor in case we get a daughter out of the triplets.".
"The names Gloria and Ursa were also on my mind.", Tristian thought aloud. "Certainly, Gloria as that is much more of a common name with my father's side of the family.".
Esme smiled as she then felt a hard kick, "You like Gloria?", and another kick answered her as Esme then asked, "You like Taylor?". A sharp punch answered her on the other side of her belly.
Esme blinked softly, "Well, looks like we got two daughters, Gloria and Taylor. Now about our boy, well, I like the sound of Gabriel.".
"I think Gabriel sounds good, of course, that's not truly up to us in terms of decided since we've got three little eavesdroppers.", Tristan teased their unborn children before giving her belly another kiss.
Esme sighed softly as she caressed her belly, "Too right.", before a kick in the middle answered her, and Esme retorted sassily, "You heard your father, Gabriel.".
Esme glanced at Tristan, "Could you help me up? My back's sore, and I need your hands to massage me again.".
"Of course.", Tristan whispered as he did what was asked and helped her sit up in the bed as his hands gently rubbed along her back. "That feel good?", he asked her.
Esme nodded, "Oh, yeah.", leaning back against his hands, instinctively resting her legs down before pausing in confusion as she felt something wet, and she looked down to see water-like liquids leaking out of her before she gasped in pain when a contraction hit her, "Tristan, my water broke!".
"Shit...", Tristan muttered as he quickly picked her up, bridal style. "Like we planned, remember?", he said.
Esme winced, "Yeah, let's go to the other room!", and Tristan carried her to a room down the hallway, gently laying her on a chaise-like bed lounger, with a heater-blanket behind her back as Tristan clicked it on.
Esme moaned lightly as she clenched into the side armrests, "This is gonna take a long time as it's our triplets!".
"Yeah, you just keep holding on for a bit while I make a few calls. Just breathe easy and it'll be over soon... I promise.", Tristan held her hand before kissing her forehead. "You hear that, you three? Do your mother a favor and don't take too long getting out of there.".
Esme groaned from a contraction before taking a slow breath, "I can't believe I'm saying this, but I want Doc! You know that he did decide to go for nursing school after that near-death experience with Sparklepaw who's now Sparklewish!".
"I can't believe you're saying that.", Tristan admitted himself, but then sighed. "Sure, I'll make sure to get him for you. But I'm kicking him out if he tries any experiments at the same time, alright?".
Esme smiled reassuringly, "Oh, don't worry, after plenty of decades with the Murphy family, Doc knows better.", before yelping out from a kick, "Be patient, Gloria! Please hurry, Tristan!", clenching her hand into the armrest from another contraction.
Tristan went as fast as he could to try and get everything ready for Esme. Thankfully, they had the plans in place for the eventual moment for months but still, since there was no true way to predict when she would be giving birth, it was still a small surprise to all who were being brought in.
And so, with help of the teleporter, Robert, Susan, Tristan's parents, and Doc got to the manor, and knowing that Esme wanted familiar faces, so he asked Susan to join Doc along.
Susan grabbed Esme's hand gently, "It's okay, sweetheart, I'm here.", as Esme whimpered shakily, "Thank god you're here, Mama! I'm scared!".
Susan nodded, "I know, sweetheart. Tristan and Doc are here too. We are here to help you, and you can do this. It's the first time a Murphy gives birth to triplets, but don't be scared, be the brave woman I know you are.".
Esme's eyes glinted with unshed tears, giving her a smile before she groaned out again from a sharp contraction, "Oh, that one really hurts!".
"I'm here, love, I'm here.", Tristan gripped her hand tight as he stayed by her. "Unfortunately, I'm not seeing anything still, so we're still going to have to wait.", Doc told the group.
"Of course, if we reach a certain point, we might have to resort to a C-section, but at the moment, we're still on track for a long, but non-surgical birth.", he finished. "Did you have to say that out loud in front of her?", Tristan shot him a glare.
Doc sheepishly ducked his head, "Apologizes, Tristan. Even when I am a certified nurse for a long time already, my scientist habits are prone to pop up here and there.".
Esme gasped out in pain from another contraction, "Gods, oh, please, darlings, don't take so long!", before groaning as she felt something sliding down and hitting the vaginal wall, "Oh! Something's happening!".
Doc looked, and called out, "I can see something. Oh, it's your vaginal wall breaking open. You need a minute to wait before pushing!".
"At least it's a good sign.", Susan gave a small sigh of relief. "Now we can just hope those three will come out fast... and finally let us all relax.", Tristan added.
Esme waited between contractions, panting and holding hands tightly within Susan and Tristan's hands before Doc checked again, and called out, "Okay, it's all open, go push, Esme!".
Esme pulled her legs up tight against herself as she pushed, crying out in pain, "Oh, gods!", feeling the baby move forward, and the walls stretching to fit the emerging baby.
Doc laughed out loud, "I see hair, the top of the head! Take a breath and push again!", and Esme grunted, taking a short breath before pushing again, gasping out in pain as the head of the baby is putting the walls up to its limits.
It didn't take much longer before Esme made a hard push before finally a baby girl shot out and was caught by Susan as she started to fall out of her mother's vagina.
"Got her! I've got her!", Susan called out. "Looks like Gloria got out well. Hopefully Taylor and Gabriel will be just as quick and easy now.", Tristan said as he continued to support his wife.
Susan smiled warmly, "Gloria, huh? I love it.", chuckling softly, "Gloria is alright, sweetheart.".
Esme nodded shakily as she panted, "Thank you, Mama.", before wincing at another contraction, "I don't think so. Gabriel is sure taking his sweet time.", feeling her boy squirm and kick against her belly.
"He's probably just scared to leave... come on, you two, please, just do this for your mother, please.", Tristan begged them as Esme went through another contraction.
Susan cradled Gloria in her arms as she got closer to Esme, "You heard your father, little ones. Remember me? It's your grandma talking. You gotta be brave like your mother.".
Doc called out, "I think that did the trick, because another water bag broke out.", noting the extra water gushing out of Esme.
Esme gasped as she felt her second baby coming, "Oh, yes, Gabriel, you can do it!", before pushing with a cry, feeling the head crown out of her vagina.
Doc nodded, "Yes, that's it, the head's about to pop out! Push, Esme!", gesturing to Susan with an urgent look.
One grunt and Gabriel was soon born and being held in the hands of his grandmother as he cried along with his sister; possibly due to the fact that it was a new and unknown world waiting for them outside of their mother's womb.
"That's Gabriel... all that's left is Taylor.", Tristan sighed as he kissed Esme's cheek. "You're almost there, love.".
Esme panted heavily as she's soaked in sweat, her legs feeling like jelly while her arms ached from having so much tension, "I'm getting exhausted, Tristan.", tears falling down her face, "C-can you hold me?".
"Of course, come on, Esme, you're strong... you're almost through this...", Tristan kissed her once again as he wrapped his arms around her. "Please, Taylor, for your mother's sake, just be as smooth as possible.".
Doc called out, "The last water bag broke! She's on her way!", and Esme laid back against Tristan as she grunted, pushing small pushes, and she felt the baby moving through her before crying out in pain as her walls met the baby's head.
Susan nodded, "That's it, sweetheart, push all you got!", and Esme took a deep breath, and screamed as she pushed long and hard, feeling the head go through, and the shoulders a moment later, feeling the baby slide out of her vagina, and Doc carefully caught her, "I got her!".
Esme heaved deeply, nearly blacking out from exhaustion, tears falling as she collapsed on Tristan's chest, a smile barely showing on her face as she heard Taylor's loud wail while her body's recovering slowly.
"You did it... you did it, Esme.", Tristan chuckled as he gave her another long kiss. "It's all okay now... you pulled through.". He was making a mental note at the moment to never want more than at least one child from now on if they ever tried again for more children. Three clearly was almost too much for Esme.
Esme sighed deeply as she looked up and over, seeing her children in Susan's arms as Doc had just given Taylor to join her siblings, "I'm okay, Mama. I want to see them.".
Susan nodded, "You were so brave, Esme, you did a good job.", walking over and gently passing the triplets over into Esme's arms.
Doc smiled warmly as he went to wash his hands again from the giant water bowl, grabbing the scissors and clips, "Well, better cut their cords, and then Susan can get the others.", and passed the scissors and cords over to Tristan who gave him a nod of respect and relief.
