Been sick as a dog and still suffering from writers block. Yay... :/

Thanks for the reviews and there is some light M stuff happening in this chapter.

Pressner arrived late with him first checking Novem in his crib resting peacefully before going over to a resting Tenn. His conversation with Gaz still on his mind. He knew. He just had this feeling he was still going to lose her for a past he cannot change. A past he wishes he could change right now, but if he did, Pressner knew he wouldn't of met her and had Novem right now.

Never in his life had he felt this conflicted and did so many things with ease. Pressner did regret the things he did against Tak now. Seeing Tenn stir in her sleep he approached closer wanting that chance to hold her right now, but didn't wish to disturb her. Instead he went to sit down in the chair close to the crib to keep watch on the two beings he loved the most.

Tak stalked the corridor after the very short lived nothing with the female she encountered. Soldiers moved out of her way afraid to cross her path right now as Dib came down the other end of the corridor spotting his mate with a very pissed off expression on her face.

"Plegerin female was on board the ship. I stabbed her with a pak leg and after she freed herself she just left." Tak told him the moment the met. "I doubt she has completely left though."

"Did she say anything?" Dib inquired as he felt around them for anything.

"No she just seemed startled when I vanished the first time, but I've been able to do that for a long time now." Tak waved that one off as she looked up at her mate. "Jack?"

"He's with Gaz."

Hearing some mutterings behind her in her language, Tak turned her head to hiss at the soldiers. "Do you have other duties you need to attend to?"

Watching them leave, Dib smirked. "Man when we eventually get back to Earth it will be dull after all this."

"Well if you get bored just zap someone during those reviews you do at the lab." Tak suggested almost maliciously, but with a slight wink.

"Don't tempt me."

Psyllic studied the petite Queen standing on the bridge as she held Jack in her arms. Psyllic stood far away so she wouldn't sense him and from his area he spotted Nafali at the other end doing an accurrsary scan of the area before popping up next to him.

"You are injured and didn't bother to heal yourself. Why?" Psyllic inquired with keen interest.

"That Irken Tak is a strange one. She vanished into thin air and next thing I knew I was stabbed by one of those leg things." Nafali saw how the blood still seeped out slowly, but it wasn't life threatening. "I just wanted to take it in before I decided to heal it."

"There are better ways of studying the enemy, my dear." Just then Gaz's gaze went directly over to him and stayed there. It simply excited Psyllic. "The serpent is very close to Irk now and the Armada draws even closer. We want a fight on our hands and you want to study Tak."

Nafali almost bristled at his words. Almost. "You know how easy we could of wiped them out, but you want to play with them instead. Why? Because all you wish for is the obtain the Queen? You could have anyone. You could have me."

That would be very simple and he had bedded her more than a few times over the centuries, but he never desired her any further when she always bored him.

"I believe it is time you find Elias. My son has been misbehaving long enough. Find him and we will re-visit us another time, Nafali." Psyllic promised.

"As you wish, my Lord." She spoke with so much lust before she vanished away.

Psyllic continued to stare right at Gaz as she went to sit back down. Suddenly he was curious on where Zim has been.

Tenn woke up to find Pressner holding Novem in his arms humming away. It was a strange tender moment for her to behold as she shifted more to sit up with her knees coming up to her chest as a gentle smile played on her features.

"He needed changing so I did that already. Guess you don't have to worry about this when you are pure Irkens." Pressner's voice was lilting softly as he smiled down at his son.

"No we don't have to worry at all there." Tenn almost made a joke, but instead smiled at how a tiny smile played on her son's face. "That is your weakness." She mocked quietly.

Pressner flashed her an amused sly glance at that sarcastic tone of hers. "You must admit that red teeth on an Irken lends to something intriguing."

"And menacing." Tenn added.

He noticed faintly she was flirting with him with how she was looking him over. "Is there something you want, my lady?"

"Besides the obvious and he doesn't need to be fed right now." Tenn slid back on the bed furthering her hint.

Giving his son a kiss on the forehead, Pressner laid him in the crib very gently just pausing to look down on him. He made his decision as he turned from Novem to his beautiful Irken as he went over to the bed with her.

Zim stared at Central almost wishing to punch him. "Any other Plegerins in the midst of Irk right now?"

"None. You are the only half breed."

Zim opened his mouth just to shut it again as his brain continued to whirl. He wondered how Gaz was doing. "You know you are more confusing than Red and Purple's bottomless spooches." He spat out.

"Your mother is Irken. She did pass though during a science experiment gone wrong." Central said making a cringing face at the memory of her demise. "It wasn't a pretty sight."

"Well just as long as it isn't Miyuki I believe I can live with that." Zim told him insensitively.

Right was flummoxed at Zim's behavior. "Is that what you say after hearing about your own parental figure? How dare you?"

Zim flashed Right a look that showed him he didn't care as he started ticking off things from his digits. "1) Seeing as I never had any parents in my life and this is the first I've learned about it, no. 2) I'm glad it isn't Miyuki because well that would complicate things with me and Gaz. 3) How dare I? I'm Zim, and that is how I dare."

Central contained a bit of laughter at Right being indignant at Zim's attitude. "Really? After all this time you are surprise with how Zim talks? Really, Right."

"You both are reminding me of Gir right now and a bit of Red and Purple. Please talk." Zim almost started tapping his foot in exasperation.

Pressner on top of her as he made love to this beautiful creature. His finger ran down the length of her body loving the pure satisfaction of just watching her enjoy herself. The way her beautiful dark pink eyes opened to gaze at him with lust and something more made his heart pump more as he continued making love to her slowly.

"I love you so much Tenn. I don't want to part from you."

Tenn heard actual truth in him. "I love you too, but there is still so much you have done that it makes me think two different things." Her head arched back as a sensation washed over her body.

"I know that, my love, and for that I will humbly respect your decision." Pressner sincerely hoped it was her wishing to keep him. He desired it greatly.

All he wanted to do was make her happy.

It be hours later when Skoodge decided to pay Tenn a visit. Pressner was long gone after he was called by Psyllic. When Skoodge walked in to her quarters she was sitting there oozing with satisfaction. He knew what occurred there since it was still in the air making him do a beeline over to her as he brought her to her feet and kissed her fully on the mouth. In her shock she opened her mouth allowing him access inside as he slipped his tongue in to meet her own. She tried to push away from him and protest, but Skoodge felt a battle was won when she started to kiss him back.

Pulling back from her a bit he whispered, "I love you." Returning immediately into kissing her.

Tenn was still in her lust filled stages from Pressner when he entered and he did this. The kiss was surprisingly good. Pressner was still better, but her lust was still there. She felt Skoodge slide her robe away from her wondering what he would do next till his mouth traced down the length of her body till he placed her back on the chair to give her satisfaction.

His tongue delved and tasted her. He thanked the Tallest for this gift as he continued to satisfy her.

"Skoodge stop this. You know you are taking advantage of my lust filled stage now. I know you smell it in the air." Tenn was pulling away but she felt him holding firm. "Irk this feels good."

"I want you, Tenn. Pick me."

Right then Novem started crying out making her stand up to a still hungry Skoodge below her waist. "I have to attend my smeet." When he didn't let up on his hold she became more demanding as she pushed him away. "Go away, Skoodge. I love Pressner."

Skoodge felt shattered as he stood up to kiss her again. She fought him even through her moans of pleasure. "I know you love me too."

Tenn's eyes opened up before she pushed him away to get to Novem so she could feed him. She was already naked in front of Skoodge so she stood there feeding her son in thought before returning him back to his crib. Walking back to Skoodge she didn't know what to do except to say the obvious. "I'm in love with Pressner. Sure it isn't ideal to a lot of others, but it happened. I like you Skoodge. That kiss was pretty good and so was what you were doing down there, but no."

"I want your taste back in my mouth, Tenn." Skoodge pleaded.

"One kiss and then you have to leave. That is it." Tenn approached willingly to kiss him.

Skoodge took full advantage of it even as his digit went south loving how she opened up to him. He may get his mate yet.

Zim entered his quarters in obvious frustration happy to see Gaz turn her attention towards him. Not much was said as he went up to her to kiss her deeply. His pak legs came out to slice her clothing off. "I'll explain everything later." His voice was in a haze. "Give me you, little Gaz."

Gaz already lifted herself up, latching her legs around his waist. "Do it now." She demanded in a dull hiss as she went to nip at his neck. "Take me now."

Gaz felt his frustrations, knew he would share with her of the visit, knew he desired her now just as she desired him. Feeling the wall against her back and her husband driving into her with such a welcoming force, Gaz couldn't help the ever increasing sounds he was eliciting. Also this was the only time she loved being pressed against the wall.
