Deathtouched - Chapter 17
Warning: Lemon in this chapter.
"Poor Nick." Abby sighed as all three of them, with the help of Candace and Gloria, picked Nick up and placed him on the couch. "We're not even married yet and he's going to be a father."
"Well, if we'd have known it was possible to get pregnant by him, we'd have used protection." Judy said.
"I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing, being pregnant." Gloria stated timidly.
Candace hugged her wife close to her side, Gloria laying her head against Candace's shoulder.
"I'm just not looking forward to desk duty when I have to tell Bogo I'm pregnant." Judy told her.
"I can't say I'm ecstatic about it, but I'm not entirely displeased at the prospect of becoming a mother." Candace told the group, kissing her smiling wife.
Abby was beaming "I'm super stoked! Having a baby! I like to swing by the nursery at the hospital a lot to see the newborns and dream of having some of my own. But how given how my love life went before I met Zoe, and then being married to does, made me wonder when, or if, I'd be able to. Then we met Nick and, with him being a fox, it still seemed to be a forlorn hope. Now, I hope that it can happen again!"
"But, he's right." Zoe said, nodding toward the unconscious mammal on the couch.
"We're going to need a live in nanny. We may want to start thinking of a larger place. I mean, we're going to need a nursery, a room for us, a room for the nanny, and even extra bedrooms for when our kits grow up."
All of them nodded, understanding that Candace and Gloria already had a support system in place back at the Burrow. They turned toward the couch when they heard Nick begin to groan. Zoe moved over and sat on the sofa next to Nick as he began to be aware of his surroundings once more. Once she saw his eyes open and focus on her, she leaned over and gave him a gentle kiss. Her wives huddled close and kissed him as well. Even Candace and Gloria kissed him.
"You okay?" Zoe asked after Gloria was done and Nick could answer.
"I... I guess? Twenty kits is a lot to take in." Nick mumbled.
"Up to twenty Nick. It could be only five, but most likely it will be about eight to ten." Gloria informed him.
Nick gulped, even ten was more than he'd imagined.
"Are you upset Nick?" Zoe asked, a bit worried at how he was taking the news.
"No, I actually kinda like the idea of being a father. I never thought I would be, especially after I agreed to join in on your marriage." Nick's reassurances helped to ease all of their minds.
"Well, you won't have to worry too much about Gloria and I, we have the nursery at the Burrow to help out. We'd just like you to visit your kits so they can know their father."
Nick nodded numbly.
"And, we'll have to start looking for a bigger place. A two bedroom apartment isn't going to hold us, our kits, and not to mention a live in nanny. Plus, we'll probably want at least one guest room." Abby mentioned.
"I'll start checking with realtor's and see what's for sale. With our salaries combind we should easily afford the mortgage. I may not have much else to do since I'm going to be driving a desk for the foreseeable future." Judy said as she smiled and placed a paw in the area where her unborn children were starting to grow.
"And I'll check my friends on the street to see if they know of any place coming up for sale." Nick offered.
They all went out to Good Eats for supper. With her wives and fiance's approval, Abby asked Tammy if she would like to be the aunt to her kits. Tammy had a hard time believing that a fox could get them pregnant, but when Zoe explained that her goddess's sphere of influence included fertility. And how Zoe had unintentionally given a blood sacrifice, she had to admit the possibility. After all, Zoe was slated to be the next High Priestess of Melinoe, so of course her goddess would have a personal interest in her happiness.
Tammy also wondered if she'd be able to get her husband to bite her during sex. Seeing Abby and her wives faraway expression and slight smiles when Zoe was explaining what happened, it was something she wanted to try.
Candace and Gloria spent the night, all of them in the same bed. After Abby convinced Nick that it would be okay, as long as he didn't knot them, they had sex. It was recommended that Nick stay on his back while the doe's took control. Abby begged off, saying that she had a shift in the morning and she was still having trouble walking straight the day after.
Start of Lemon
The wives decided to let Candace and Gloria have their turns first since they didn't get to enjoy time with him as often as Judy and them. They went slow and careful, but it was still intense. The pace allowed a build up of their libido so that, once they crested they were still immersed in that amazing pool of bliss. Nick enjoyed it as well.
While not as fulfilling as it was when he knotted them, it was still highly erotic and very fulfilling. The added advantage was, they didn't need to wait for his knot to deflate enough before having sex with the next lady. The big drawback was, they didn't need to wait for his knot to deflate enough before having sex with the next lady, not giving him time to catch his breath. Fortunately, the languid pace they had adopted, plus the fact that he didn't have to move as much, made it much easier.
When it was her turn, Zoe decided to try something different. Zoe was still soaked from where Abby had expertly used her tongue and made her cum repeatedly, Judy sitting on her muzzle as Zoe used her tongue on her wife. Judy had a death grip on Zoe's nipples, pinching hard whenever she came. Zoe tried to get her to cum as often as possible.
After Gloria finished and raised herself off of Nick's slick penis, Judy raised herself up and then bent to kiss her wife, tasting her own fluids on Zoe's lips and tongue.
"Baby, get the lube." Zoe whispered to Judy. Judy looked at her, a little startled. With Zoe being soaked, and Nick's member being so slick, Zoe shouldn't need any lubrication at all. Unless... Judy realized what Zoe intended and retrieved the lube from where they kept it. While Judy grabbed the lube, Zoe began licking Nick's penis, enjoying the taste of his semen mixed with Judy's fluids.
Nick was grunting and growling at the sensation of Zoe's tongue on him. When she reached the tip, she opened her mouth as wide as she could and wrapped her lips around the tip. Her paws milked him, more semen flowing from his tiny hole. Zoe loved it. Not so much how it was sticky, but the slightly salty flavor? Most definitely! Zoe removed her mouth and then positioned herself over Nick's stiff shaft, Judy wiped a generous dollop of lube onto her rear end, making Zoe moan as she slid a well lubricated finger into her, hoping to make it as easy for Zoe as possible. Judy would have gone first, just like before, to see if it was something they'd be able to do, but she wasn't going to deny her wife anything she wanted.
Nick looked curiously as Judy used the lube on Zoe, not realizing what Zoe intended until she lowered her body until the pointed tip of his penis was barely inside her rear end. Nick could see her front entrance plainly as he felt himself enter her and knew then what she was doing.
"Uh, Zoe? Are you sure about this?" Nick asked anxiously.
"I've been wanting to try this for a while Nick." Zoe panted, enjoying the feeling of him pressing against her anus. "Beside's I'm not an anal virgin."
"But, that's only with bucks Zoe, and buck dildo's." Abby said in a concerned voice.
"Ahhh!" Zoe exclaimed as she sank down, forcing more of Nick's penis into her, until it started to hurt too much.
"We won't know... until... we try!" She grunted as she paused, trying to adjust to how stretched her butthole was at the moment, her ears drooping and her brow furrowed in pain.
Every doe was watching, enticed by the action. Candace had a front row seat sitting at Nick's feet and was furiously playing with her pussy as she watched Nick slide into Zoe's backside. Judy began masturbating Zoe while Abby helped to steady her. Zoe raised up until Nick almost slipped out of her before easing herself back down. Slow and easy, she continued bouncing on Nick, letting more of him slip into her slightly further each time.
She paused after each down stroke, giving herself a little time to adjust. Not being able to see, it came as as complete surprise when he finally popped into her back entrance, Zoe sliding down an extra inch.
"Gods!" she exclaimed, her voice tinged with pain as she paused. She used all of her mental discipline in order to remain still, her paw digging into Abby's shoulder. Zoe raised up slightly before letting herself sink down, allowing Nick to push deeper into her. Up and down she went until she felt Nick bottom out in her intestines.
"That is so damn HOT!" Candace cried out before she came all over her paw and the bed. She had watched Zoe take Nick's huge penis and had imagined her to be the one doing it. It was that image that Candace held onto when she came. When she came down, she was determined to do it as well.
Gloria pulled Candace's paw from her drenched center as she knelt between Candace's thighs. Gloria began sliding her tongue into her wife, tasting her nectar as Candace gripped her ears and pulled. Gloria mewled and felt a slight orgasm flow through her body.
The feeling of his dick slowly forcing it's way into Zoe's ass was driving him wild. It wasn't just how tight she was, they were all still very tight in their front entrances, no matter that it was easier now to penetrate them. But it was simply the idea of being in her ass combined with the tightness that was driving Nick to the edge so quickly, even after he'd already cum twice with only a short time to recover from Gloria and Candace. It took everything he had to keep from grabbing Zoe's hips and thrusting into her.
To keep from doing that, he slipped fingers from each paw into Abby and Judy, fingering them until they came as well. Zoe leisurely bobbed on Nick's cock, moaning and gasping. The moans and cries of her wives merged with her own and drove Zoe's lust even higher. She wanted, no, she needed Nick deeper in her, she wanted his knot. It was hard to tell how far he was inside her, she had to guess based on how close her butt was to his hips.
It took a while, and not a little amount of additional pain, but she finally felt his knot pressing against her sphincter. Candace's eyes were nearly circular in awe and lust as she saw Zoe sink until Nick's knot was pressing against her already widely stretched anus. She's not going to do what I think she's going to do is she? Candace thought, driving three whole fingers into Gloria's dripping slit as Gloria ate her out.
As for Nick, his eyes were closed as he was lost in the acute feeling of his cock buried in Zoe. He was fingering Judy and Abby so hard they were being lifted up in the air with each thrust his paws made. His eyes opened somewhat when he felt Zoe pressing against his knot, unable to believe that she had forced that much of him into her body. His hips had been squirming left and right in an effort to control himself, but it all proved for naught. He felt Zoe pressing hard against his knot as he reached his peak and he suddenly thrust upwards, forcing his knot into Zoe's already abused hole. "Zzzzooooooeeeeee!" Nick screamed as he came harder than he thought possible.
Zoe couldn't really think of anything other than the need to have Nick all the way inside her. Each time she felt herself hit Nick's knot, she pushed a little harder, enjoying the sensation of Nick in her back passage, the ache of his knot widening her even further. Believing she was close to accomplishing her goal, Zoe pushed even harder, her teeth clenched from the severe burning pain of her sphincter muscle when, without warning, Nick thrust his hips and propelled his knot into her.
Zoe couldn't even scream at the agony of the sudden assault on her, already sore, rear end. She just froze, her eyes wide open staring straight ahead, while her jaw opened and closed, her entire body trembling and her ears flat on her shoulders. The only saving grace was Judy shoving her fingers violently in and out of her, giving her some pleasure to help deal with the sudden anguish of her tortured anus.
"Zoe? Are you okay Baby?" Abby asked, anxious from Zoe's reaction.
As if her wife's words were a trigger, Zoe finally was able to squawk "AARRRRGGGHHH! GOD'S IT HURTS!"
Zoe didn't want to move, each movement pulling against her abused sphincter. She was breathing hard, trying to relax and make it stop hurting. At this moment, she was regretting not prepping herself better before taking Nick's knot. She turned to Judy, her face a mask of pain, causing Judy to pull Zoe in a hug. That proved to be a mistake, as it pulled Zoe up and made Nick's knot start stretching her wider.
"Gah! No! D... Don't move me! It hurts Love. Let me just stay like this. Maybe finger me some more, please."
Zoe closed her eyes, attempting to fall into a semi meditative state, hoping to make the pain go away. She felt Judy's fingers begin thrusting into her again, Judy's thumb playing with her love button, sending tiny waves of bliss through her. It seemed like an eternity before the pain receded and she could enjoy the full feeling of Nick filling her back door.
Judy had watched Zoe while she recovered, and when it looked like her breathing slowed to normal and her face relaxed into a slight smile, she pulled her fingers out of Zoe and brought her paw up to her mouth, licking Zoe's nectar to get a mouthful before kissing her wife, sharing Zoe's ejaculate with her.
"I'm sorry Zoe, I couldn't help myself. Oh god's I'm a horrible mammal! Why would you want to marry me? I'm not treating you right, like a gentlemammal should." Nick apologized, his voice thick with tears.
Zoe took the paw not holding on to Abby, not trusting her balance, and stroked Nick's muzzle. "Baby, its okay. I wanted this. I knew it was going to hurt, just not how much. Next time, we prep a bit more before doing anal."
"Next time?!" Nick exclaimed. "
Of course my husband. I'm going to want to do this again. Just... not for a while, okay?"
Numbly, Nick nodded.
"Besides," Zoe continued "sometimes we're going to want you to be rough and just take us."
Judy leaned over, licked his ear, and whispered "I'm next!"
Candace couldn't believe it as she saw Nick thrust up and Zoe's sphincter stretched impossibly wide before Nick's knot disappeared into her. She saw Zoe freeze except for the quivering all over her body. When Zoe cried out in pain, Candace came, throwing her head back, pulling her wife's head so tight against her center that Gloria's muzzle actually pushed into her, causing another orgasm to wrack her body even more.
Gloria heard Zoe holler and felt Candace pull her head harder toward her, Candace's inner lips now flush against the sides of her muzzle, her nose and mouth actually inside of Candace. She felt Candace's juices squirting and started lapping rapidly, trying to swallow all of her fluids. She just hoped it didn't last too long because she would need to breath in a little bit.
Zoe stayed right where she was, not wanting to move even when Nick's knot went down. She waited until his penis softened enough to slip out of her abused opening. Even then, the sensation of it sliding out hurt a little, like she was raw there. As soon as it was out, Zoe lowered herself onto her stomach next to Nick. She felt empty inside, just like when they'd made love for the first time. She could feel her rear pulsing in time with her heartbeat. The main difference between having Nick in her body was she felt like she had to use the bathroom when he was pulling out this time.
Abby looked her over to make sure she was okay.
"Z. You're bleeding a little. You won't need stitches, but I'll need to apply some cream to keep it from getting infected and help it heal faster. Next time, let us stretch you out before you have anal with Nick."
She turned to Judy "We may want to invest in some fox sized dildo's."
"Ow. ow. ow. ow." Zoe groaned as Abby applied the cream, silently agreeing with her.
Lemon end!
oooOOOooo
Abby's coworkers were overjoyed when they found out that she was pregnant. When they found out the father was Nick, they were stunned and Doctor Lombardi, the Ibex Gynecologist for the hospital, insisted on taking over Abby and her wives care. The first order of business was another pregnancy test, which was rapidly accomplished. An hour later and the results came back... Abby was positively pregnant.
"Hey Chief?" Judy asked after she'd knocked on the wooden doorframe. Proper manners dictated the knock even if the door was open.
"Yeeessss Hopps?" Bogo hissed. He actually really liked Judy. She'd shown bravery and determination during the Night Howler fiasco and had earned his respect. He just didn't want her to know. Judy leapt up onto one of the chairs designed for medium sized mammals and laid a piece of paper on his desk.
"And what's this Hopps?" He asked, taking a sip of his coffee.
"I'm requesting desk duty for the next two months, I'm pregnant."
Bogo spit his coffee out all over his desk, including Judy and her paperwork.
"You're PREGNANT?!" Bobo bellowed.
Judy winced and ducked her head down between her shoulders, knowing that every mammal from the top floor to the ground floor would hear about it by the end of the day.
"Sorry." Bogo apologized quietly.
"We decided to move the wedding up to the week after next, given the situation."
Bogo nodded.
"We'll miss you on the streets while you're driving a desk. And Nick will have to get used to an new partner in the interim. What do your wives think of you being pregnant?"
"Oh, they think it's great." Judy said, shrugging. "Considering that they're pregnant too."
Bogo's jaw dropped.
Zoe placed her back pack on the table at the library and hissed as she gingerly put her weight on her butt as she sat down. She was incredibly sore and it hurt putting pressure on that area, her sphincter still pulsing in time to her heart beat. The surprising upside was that it seemed easier to walk afterwards. Pulling out her Forensics Procedures book, she began reading her assignment, taking notes as it occured to her.
Zoe saw Linda leaning against a bookshelf and raised her paw in greeting. She was a little concerned when Linda looked as if she were ill. Or in pain, because when Linda started walking toward her, Zoe noticed she was walking a bit stiffly, taking what amounted to baby steps. Zoe's eyebrow's raised and her ears stiffened as she realized the cause.
As Linda slowly sat down, she gave Zoe a look of consternation and said "You could have warned me of how much it was going to hurt Z. I'd never felt so much pain when Wayne knotted me."
"I thought I had mentioned how much it hurt Linda."
"Wayne almost freaked when he saw the blood."
"BLOOD!" Zoe exclaimed, slamming her paws over her mouth in reaction.
Linda looked around almost in a panic prior to focusing on Zoe again.
"Yes blood. It was my first time." Linda whispered.
Zoe's eyes widened. Linda had been a virgin and her first time had been with a bigger mammal. No wonder she was in a lot of pain.
"I'm sorry Linda, I didn't know. If it helps I'm hurting too."
"Oh? Wild sex with Wilde again?" Linda joked, snickering.
Zoe muzzle palmed. She really liked Linda, sometimes her sense of humor as well.
"Hahaha. Funny, but accurate. Walking's not too bad, but sitting down is excruciating."
"Oh? Do tell do!" Linda said, interested now.
Zoe looked around to make sure no other mammals were nearby before stage whispering to her friend.
"Well, my wives and I found out the other day that we're pregnant, and..."
That was as far as she got when Linda yelled "PREGNANT!?"
Zoe's face was flaming as she hid her muzzle in her paws.
"Did you have to yell so loud?" She asked Linda, her voice muffled by her paws. She sighed and removed her paws, glancing around to see a few mammals looking in their direction. She was a Priestess of Melinoe, she had no reason to hide.
"Sorry."
"Anyway, it turns out we're all pregnant with Nick's kits. So, given his size, we were making him lay down while we rode on top in order to control how deep he went."
"Ah, I see! I could feel Wayne dipping into my womb, which is quite the experience."
Zoe nodded, then continued. "When it was my turn, I wanted to try something different."
"Like what?" Linda asked, wondering how different sex could get.
"Um, I kinda... used my other entrance." Zoe said, trying to be delicate.
"Oral?" Linda asked. She liked doing that with Wayne.
"Uh... no." Zoe said, giving Linda a significant look.
"I don't get it, what other entrance could you be..." Zoe watched as Linda's confused expression morphed into one of shock. "You let him do that? There?!" She gasped.
"No, I did that there."
"Oh my gods that had to have hurt!"
"Yeah, but I did it, a lot, but it ended up feeling spectacular."
"Okay." Linda said, trying to bring the conversation around to Zoe being pregnant. "A fox got you, a rabbit, pregnant. I didn't think such a thing could be possible."
"Neither did we! But there were extenuating circumstances."
"Such as?" Linda asked, her eyebrows raised.
"Such as my goddess also being a Goddess of Fertility. We're guessing that she knew how much I wanted kits, so..." Zoe said, leaving the sentence unfinished.
"Wow! Just, wow!"
"Yeah, now we need to look for a bigger place because we're also going to need to find a live-in nanny."
"Well, I can't help with the place, but my older brother, Gabriel, has been looking for work and he's great with kits. He helped raise us when our mom died."
Zoe thought about it and said "Okay, give him my number and we'll see what we come up with."
"Congratulations Zoe." Aaron said as he poured her tea. Zoe stopped before chuckling. Of course he'd know.
"Thank you Aaron. Do I really show that much?" Zoe asked, a little self conscious.
"Not physically daughter. Astrally though? I can see your kits like tiny lights inside your womb."
Excited now, Zoe let her sight slip into the astral and looked down. There she could see three tiny lights, two glowing silver and one gold. Zoe laughed in joy as she placed her astral paws over them, expressing her love for her children. Zoe was startled when she could feel them respond, minute pulses of emotions coming back to her.
"It's amazing! I can feel them!" Zoe whispered in wonder.
"It seems you're going to have two girls and a boy. You may want to start thinking of names for them." Aaron said, smiling at his spiritually adopted daughter.
The name for the boy was a no brainer. Looking shyly at her mentor, Zoe asked. "Would it be okay if I named the boy... Aaron?"
Aaron's smile turned into a grin and he said, "I would be honored."
Zoe let herself into her apartment, bristling with the news she wanted to share with her wives.
"You're looking radiantly happy Z. Good meeting with Aaron?" Abby asked, laying out the breaded chicken strips onto a plate. She was attempting to make chicken tenders for Nick. She'd already prepared a potato souffle for her and her wives. Grape juice instead of wine for their drink given being pregnant and all.
"You could say that." Zoe said, trying to suppress her jubilation.
"Then enlighten me Love." Abby said as she placed three of the strips in the hot oil, being careful not to splatter hot oil on her.
"I found out I'm having triplets! Eeeeeeeeee!" Zoe squealed excitedly.
Abby turned, surprised, with a smile on her face, "Triplets?"
She ran to her wife, hugging her before pulling back as they danced joyfully in a circle, still holding each other at arms length. Breathlessly, Abby asked her, "How do you know you're having triplets? Doctors wouldn't be able to tell for a couple of more weeks!"
"Well, you know how I can see auras?" At Abby's nod, she continued. "I can see them inside me, like little fireflies. I'm having two girls and a boy!"
Abby gasped. "You can tell that already?"
Zoe nodded, grinning ear to ear, her ears bobbing wildly with the force of her nod.
"Do me! I want to know!" Still grinning, Zoe shifted her sight and could see two silver lights in Abby's womb.
Zoe kissed her gently and, holding her close, whispered, "You're having twins, both girls!"
Now it was Abby's turn to squeal. Twins! She quickly calmed and placed her paws over her womb, a tender expression on her face that made Zoe's heart swell and thank Melinoe once more for her blessing. She heard Abby whisper, "Mommy loves you!"
Abby raised her sight to Zoe. "Do you think they can tell I love them?"
"I'm sure of it! I could feel my three respond when I told them I loved them." Abby looked back down at herself, the idea of twin girls filling her with joy. As Zoe watched her wife fall into her own little world of incipient motherhood, Zoe took over cooking duties, not wanting Nick's dinner to burn.
When Nick and Judy came home, they were surprised to see Abby and Zoe eagerly pouring over clothes for baby kits, pointing out cute things for both boys and girls.
"Excited are we?" Nick said with a smug expression.
"Oh Yes!" Abby said. Zoe can tell how many kits we're having and even what sex they are!"
Nick and Judy were stunned. Judy and Zoe had just had their pregnancy confirmed a few days ago, and Dr. Lombardi had told them that it would be a few weeks more before he could determine the sex.
"How?" Judy asked finally.
"My astral sight. I can see them inside of us, like little fireflies. Boy's shine with a golden light and girls with silver."
"Tell me!" Judy asked, her face lighting up at being able to find out now rather than wait any longer. Nick was excited as well. The more he thought about it, the more he imagined being a father, the more exited he became. His own father had, just like Abby's, left when he was a young kit. He watched as Zoe looked at Judy and grinned, his own anticipation rising to match his fiancé.
Zoe shifted her sight once more and saw two golden lights in Judy's womb. Her grin even wider, she looked at her wife and informed her, "Love, you have twin boys."
All three wives squealed in harmony, making Nick wince at the pitch they used. Still, his grin was evident. His fiancé's pulled him into their little impromptu dance for a minute. Judy stopped and asked her wives, "What are you two having?"
"You're balancing me out Baby, I'm having twin girls!" Abby practically sang.
Zoe grinned and told her loves, "I'm having triplets, two girls and a boy. I'm going to name the boy 'Aaron'."
The heard Nick mumble, "Three, two, two, that's seven. What about Candace and Gloria?"
Zoe said, "I don't know, let's call!"
They called Candace and Gloria, who answered on the fourth ring.
"Z. You'd better be calling for something important, you interrupted my Gloria time!"
"I'm sorry Candace, we were just too excited. I found out that I can use my astral sight to determine how many kits we're going to have and what their sex is going to be." There was silence on the other end for about 30 seconds.
"You can do that?" Candace asked in a hushed, awed voice.
"Yeah! I can call Oscar and see if he'll do that for you girls if you want."
Zoe could hear Candace ask Gloria if she would like to do that, knowing that Gloria would have been able to hear Zoe easily. Zoe heard Gloria's reply. "Mmph! Heph eph!" Zoe knew from experience the reason Gloria was so hard to understand. She'd had a hard time speaking when Candace used a ball gag on her too. However, Candace could translate. "She says 'Hell yes!'"
The next afternoon, they found out that Candace was having a boy, and Gloria was having twins, a boy and a girl. A total of ten kits with an even split between the sexes. Her wives looked at Zoe who just shrugged. She had no idea if Melinoe had planned it that way or if either Chance or Fate were playing with her life again.
"Mom, Dad? Gloria and I have something to tell you." Candace informed her parents the morning after they returned. Her parents were in the fields, supervising some of their numerous children weeding the rows of carrots.
"What's that dear?" Bonnie asked, Stu only paying slight attention.
"Gloria and I woke up the other day, sick and throwing up. We thought it was the flu until Zoe called us. We left for Zootopia and, when we got there, Zoe explained that she believed we were all pregnant."
When Candace used the work 'pregnant', Bonnie radiated joy while Stu looked shocked. "A... all of you?" He asked.
"All of us. We each took two home pregnancy tests and they both came back positive. Candace and I have an appointment with Dr. Deerborne tomorrow to have it confirmed."
"And... they're Nicks?" Bonnie asked.
"Yeah." Candace admitted. "It seems that Zoe's goddess knew she wanted kits and, since she's also the Goddess of Fertility, decided to make us all pregnant."
"Oh." Stu uttered before falling onto his back in a feint.
oooOOOooo
Zoe didn't know whether to be angry or elated to see the article in the Mammal section of the newspaper. Linda had found the article and showed it to Zoe.
It has been confirmed that Judy Hopps, Hero of Zootopia, is pregnant! And the father is none other than Nick Wilde, her fellow Hero, police partner, and future husband. Both of Judy's wives, Abigail Hopps and Zoe Hopps, are also pregnant by the same father. Abigail Hopps is a nurse at the Zootopia Regional Medical Center, while Zoe Hopps is a college student and a Priestess of Melinoe.
Rumor has it that Zoe Hopps will replace Aaron Darkwater as High Priestess at some future date, but we have been unable to substantiate said rumor at this time. Exactly how their pregnancies have happened has baffled every doctor we've talked to. Our research has shown that such an occurence has never transpired in the history of Zootopia. Is it possible that, Melinoe, the Goddess of Ghosts and Fertility, had something to do with this miracle?
That's right readers! The same goddess that Zoe is said to be favored of, could have something to do with not one, but five doe's getting pregnant! In any event, we here at the ZNN press wish them all well and pray to Eileithylia for quick and easy births!
During dinner that night, They spoke about it.
"Should we talk to ZNN? Like, and interview maybe?" Abby suggested.
"I don't know. The article was only in the Mammals section, not the front page after all. Giving an interview may push it into the spotlight. I don't want to be hounded by people asking personal questions. Friends I don't mine, but complete strangers?" Zoe said in a stern voice.
"I don't know Z. Clawhauser has been fielding hundreds of calls all day trying to confirm the rumors, and that's not counting legitimate reporters." Judy responded; her voice filled with exasperation.
"And some of them might be inter-species couples wanting to know how they could get pregnant. Can we deny them the chance? I don't think Melinoe would deny them the opportunity to have children, would she?" Abby asked Zoe.
Zoe shook her head. "I wouldn't think so, but remember, it required a sacrifice. How many mammals would be willing to do that?"
"Probably all of them." Nick said bluntly.
Zoe sighed, having to agree with Nick's assessment.
"Okay, if we do this, who do we speak with and which one of us should it be? Personally, I'd say Nick and Judy both, they're the saviors of Zootopia after all. That should make a big impact."
"I don't know Z. You're the Priestess of Melinoe and know more about what happened than the rest of us do." Abby said.
"Gah! I hate being in the spotlight." Zoe groused.
Judy grinned. "You'll have to get used to it Z. Or, should I say, Mrs. High Priestess, ma'am."
Zoe narrowed her eyes at her wife, but had to admit that she had a point. Even though she thought she had one as well. Nick and Judy would be a good choice, and they'd been in the spotlight as well.
"What if we all were to be at the interview?" Zoe suggested.
"Why? I'm not important." Abby stated.
"You're just as important as the rest of us Abby, none of us is any better than the other."
Abby nodded to Zoe, agreeing with her. She felt warm inside, knowing how much her family loved and supported her.
"Okay, then who do we let interview us?" Zoe asked.
"Fabienne Growley." Nick stated.
"She's well respected and rumor has it she's dating her co-anchor, Peter Moosebridge. So she might be amicable to the interview."
Zoe's phone rang, so she pulled it out of her pocket and answered it. "Zoe Hopps."
"Z! Hey, it's Linda! Gabriel says he wold like to meet you tomorrow at lunch to discuss the live-in nanny position."
"Sure Linda, sounds like a plan."
"Okay, I'll let him know. Love you, bye!"
Zoe put her phone away, her wives and her soon to be husband looking at her. "It was Linda. Her brother, Gabriel, is interested in the nanny position and wants to meet tomorrow at lunch to discuss it."
"Sounds promising, but we still need to find a larger place... soon." Nick reminded them.
oooOOOooo
Zoe was sitting in the food court area studying intensely. She was a little nervous since she was due right about the time she was due to take her final exams. Such was her concentration that she never heard Linda until she felt a touch on her shoulder, causing her to jump slightly.
"I'm sorry Z. I didn't mean to startle you." Linda said apologetically.
Sighing, Zoe replied "It's okay, I'm just worried about finals. I'm due to deliver around the same week. Can you imagine giving birth during the Legal Responsibilities for Law Enforcement Officers exam?"
"I can see how that would make it difficult."
"Where's your brother? I thought he was going to be here?" Zoe asked, looking around.
"He had to take a friend of his to the hospital. He sent me to tell you that and hoped that it wouldn't be held against him. He said he'd be about 30 minutes late."
Zoe shrugged. "I can't fault him for that. I'd say he even earned points by making sure I knew and having compassion for a friend in need. I hope his friend will be okay."
"Twisted ankle, tripped over a tree root while jogging on a path."
"Ouch."
"So, anything new on the fox front?" Linda asked, her eyebrows wiggling suggestively.
"Only oral at this point for me, other than with my wives anyway. How are you doing with your studies?"
"Ugh. Don't remind me. Discipline in the Classroom is going to be a ball buster."
"You don't have balls." Zoe snickered.
"You know what I mean! How are you doing on the house hunting?"
"Not good. I mean, Gabriel could move in now, but when the kits are born a two bedroom apartment isn't going to be enough."
"Yeah." Linda said sadly, commiserating with her friend.
The two friends continued talking, discussing their upcoming exams and possible plans for the summer when Linda's eyes rose over the top of Zoe's head and she grinned. Before Zoe could turn around, she heard a deep, honey smooth, voice behind her say "Hey sis, Mrs. Hopps. Sorry I'm late."
Zoe knew that voice. She stood up and turned as Linda flashed by her, throwing herself into a hug with her older brother. Zoe saw silver fur and her heart began to beat faster. Gabriel had his eyes closed as he hugged his sister, but when he opened them, Zoe saw the exact same shade of blue from her dreams.
"You." Zoe whispered, incredulous.
She'd never had a dream come true before, yet here Gabriel was, standing in front of her. She desperately needed to talk to Nick and her wive's just as soon as possible.
"Me? Have we met?" Gabriel asked.
Zoe shook her head, not wanting to lie, but not ready to tell the complete truth either. "No, it's just that I've seen you somewhere before."
Linda just looked confused, but introduced them anyway.
"Zoe, this is Gabriel Latrans, my older brother. Gabriel, this is Zoe Hopps times two, Priestess of Melinoe, and my pregnant best friend."
Gabriel put his paw forward to shake Zoe's hand and asked, "Times two?"
Zoe was getting over her shock and explained, her voice still a little strained, "I was adopted into the Hopps clan and married my sister, Judy."
Gabriel raised his eyebrows. "I'm guessing it's a rabbit thing?"
"Yeah." Both Zoe and Linda stated at the same time.
Gabriel held Zoe's chair out for her, and then did the same thing for Linda before taking his seat. "So, Mrs. Hopps, about that live-in nanny position. I've raised 7 cubs from birth including this young lady that calls you friend and some kids, including herbivores, from friends of the family. I've taken all the child care classes available here in Zootopia. I can cook, clean, and perform minor repairs around the house. I have no problem eating in my room if seeing a carnivore eat meat is a problem."
Zoe was impressed. Polite, well spoken, and his body language spoke of a disciplined mind and body. But she had to laugh about the carnivore part. Gabriel looked slightly offended until Linda explained that Zoe's future husband and the father of her kits, was none other than Nick, the fox that helped Judy save Zootopia. His expression changed to one of surprise as he looked at Zoe in new light. Curbing her laughter, Zoe informed him that her and her wives had all learned to cook meat for their soon to be husband.
"I even made him one of his favorites last night, chicken marsala."
"I had no idea. Isn't it impossible for foxes and rabbits to have kits?" Gabriel asked.
"We have my goddess to thank for that, Melinoe is also the Goddess of Fertility. There's a little more to it than that, but the rest is personal."
"Okay, wow. I'm impressed. How many kits would I be responsible for?"
"7 between my wives and I, I'm having triplets." Zoe said, pointing down to her already swelling abdomen.
Gabriel coughed uncomfortably. "I kinda don't want to bring it up, but what kind of pay could I expect?"
Zoe waved that off. She was about to get to that.
"First, my wives and our husband will need to meet you. We all have to be in agreement. As for pay, it will be $350 a month, room and board will be provided for."
Gabriel nodded. $350 was a pretty decent sum for child care, especially when he didn't have to pay for food or rent. Zoe seemed down to earth, not entitled like he'd imagined a priestess would be. And not bad looking for a rabbit. Even her eyes added rather than subtracted to her character. Too bad she was married.
"Okay. Sounds like a deal. I'd like to meet your wives and Nick before I accept though. It wouldn't be a good idea to live and work around everyone if one of you hated my guts for some reason."
"Sounds good Gabriel." Zoe said as she stood and offered her paw.
Now that she wasn't in shock, she could feel a slight tingle as their palms touched and the controlled strength in his grip. Gabriel shook her paw and then hugged his sister. As soon as he was out of sight, Linda leaned over with a serious expression and said, "Zoe, I know you. Something's up, what is it?"
Zoe looked at her friend. "I'll explain tomorrow. I have to leave and get ready for my interview. They want to air it tonight. Plus, we have to do our last minute packing for tomorrow."
"I'm still invited aren't I?"
Zoe hugged her friend "Of course, you're my best friend!"

Also, my muse hasn't been cooperating with this story, it seems to be focusing on my Glee fic, Changeling, at the moment. I still have 1 more chapter waiting in the wings so I should still be good.
