As the twin moons were at their highest peak in the evening sky, all of the children (minus the newborns) were snugly tucked into bed, between their grandparents. Of course, neither Tenova or Flower-Song minded having their grandchildren with them. Rather, it brought back memories of when their own children were small and would crawl into their bed during a storm or after a nightmare. Naturally, they were accustomed to sharing their bed with little ones in mind. That, and with this whole werewolf scenario, they too were put at ease knowing their grandchildren were nearby and safe.

While their children were asleep with his parents, Shastan and Marbella were making the most of their time alone. Granted, they weren't entirely alone as they were still under the same roof as his family, but they at least had the room to themselves and didn't have to worry about either of their kids wandering into bed with them. Not that they minded, but it was a mild inconvenience whenever they wanted quality time together.
With that being said, Marbella was currently lying on the edge of the bed with her legs draped over Shastan's shoulders while he was down on his knees and hungrily eating her out. Stifling the urge to scream in pleasure, the Breton woman bit down on her knuckle and kept a firm grip on the bedding, while her husband penetrated her slick insides with his tongue and lightly pierced her flesh with his sharp teeth.
For his part, Shastan savored the taste of his divine wife, for she was sweeter than any cordial that ever graced his scaly lips. He loved her little mewls of pleasure and the wanton moans she'd emit whenever he'd hit a rather sensitive spot. Digging his claws into her soft flesh, he made sure not to leave too many scratches; however, under these circumstances, it was likely she'd have a few marks. Fortunately, they always kept a healing potion nearby for such occasions. Using his index finger, he slowly began teasing her sensitive nub while his tongue continued to lap at her inner walls, causing her to gasp as he also began to emit a slight growling/churring sound, causing his tongue to vibrate in the process.
At this, Marbella suddenly grabbed ahold of a nearby pillow and screamed into it as she rode out her orgasm while he remained buried in between her legs and greedily drank her sweet nectar. Once finished, he lightly nipped her inner thighs as she removed the pillow from her face and glanced down at him with a flushed smile lining her face:
"...Wow...Just..wow."
Puffing up with pride, Shastan emitted a chuckle as he stalked up towards her, while she scooted herself further onto the bed. "At a loss for words, hmm?"
"Yes," she panted as he trailed kisses from her navel and up to her neck. "You always leave me at a loss for words."
"I hope that's a good thing," he lightly hissed against her neck while lining himself up with her opening.
"It is," she whispered while caressing his scaly shoulders and back before arching herself as he inserted his throbbing shaft into her core. "I love you, Shastan."
"Mm, and I love you, Marbella. Divine's I love you." The two of them slowly began moving in sync with one another, taking it slow as they wanted to savor the moment and enjoy the feeling of oneness with each other.

Meanwhile, Xana awoke to the feeling of soft flutters from within, which brought a warm smile across her face as she placed a hand over the tiny (practically unnoticeable) bump in her lower abdomen. While she and Odahviing had been keeping this pregnancy a secret from everyone, she silently wished she could just tell them already. Of course, she didn't want to jinx it by doing so and she also didn't want to take away the attention from her eldest brothers and Renessie after they just had their twin daughters not even 24 hours ago.
A familiar nauseating sensation suddenly hit the young Dunmer as she immediately sat up and retrieved the (clean) chamber pot from underneath the bed and purged her stomach contents into the vessel. This, of course, woke Odahviing up from his slumber, to which he looked upon his mate with sympathy: he hated seeing her like this, but understood that it was just a side effect of her condition. Reaching over, he lovingly rubbed circles over her lower back as she heaved once more into the vessel before emitting a groan:
"Ugh, I forgot how much I hate this part of pregnancy."
A faint smile appeared across Odahviing's face as she set the chamber pot down on the floor and laid back down next to him. "It'll pass in due time, dii brit fahliil."
*sigh* "I know, but it still sucks. I'm just glad the circumstances aren't like how they were the last time. If I wasn't so shocked that I was expecting, I might have felt embarrassed to have purged over the side of Dragonsreach. I just hope no one was standing below when I did."
At that, he softly chuckled before pulling her close and resting a hand over her tiny baby bump. "I'm still amazed that you were able to conceive another kiir from me. I assumed Brii would be our only one, but I'm glad to see that I was wrong."
"As am I. In truth, I assumed I wouldn't have another child for at least a few hundred years or so due to the fact that elves are slow to conceive."
"Apparently, you're the exception," he winked, making her blush. Pressing his forehead against her temple, he gently began rubbing her bump as a fatherly smile remained present on his face, "Regardless, I'm looking forward to raising a tiny one again."
"Same here," she agreed as she too lovingly caressed the small protrusion in her lower abdomen.

-Morning-
A distant cock crowing alerted everyone within the house that dawn was breaking and it was time to greet that day. With as much ease as they could muster, Tenova and Flower-Song slipped out of their bed without disturbing the children. While they were used to waking early, they opted to let the little ones sleep in as they were surely tired from yesterday's werewolf scare. That, and they just didn't have the heart to wake them right this minute. All four little ones looked so peaceful and content. It'd be a shame to disturb them.
With that, the two elders quietly exited the bedroom and made their way into the kitchen to start preparing breakfast for everyone. Thankfully, they still had plenty of eggs in the basket, so there wasn't a need to gather some at this time. While they would soon head out to tend to their livestock, they preferred not to go outside at this time unless it was absolutely necessary. As much as they enjoyed being outdoors, they were wary at this time because it was uncertain whether or not they had an uninvited/unexpected guest lurking on the property.
Sure, the rogue werewolf had made off with two of their sheep last night, but it was anyone's guess if it would return again to attempt to steal/attack more, or even go after a person this time. They knew this creature would become bolder if left unchecked, hence the need to rally a hunting party and track it down before it killed someone. But that would have to wait for the time being as everyone was in the midst of waking up.
The first to emerge was their youngest son, Stone-Scale. With a sharp yawn, he lumbered into the kitchen and gave them a silent greeting while he began boiling some water for tea. The next to appear was Reem-Sha, who stepped in and waved in greetings before assisting Flower-Song in preparing breakfast. Xana and Odahviing were next to emerge, followed by Shastan and Marbella. With that, everyone present began helping out in making breakfast while trying to keep the noise level at a minimum for the sake of the newborn twins and their exhausted parents.

Once breakfast was ready, Flower-Song assembled a tray of food and brought it into Sea and Shore's bedroom, where they sat on either side of Renessie and held their new daughters. Both males silently greeted their Mother as she approached and set the tray atop the nearby dresser before checking on her daughter-in-law, who was quietly lying in between her sons.
Seeing as how she was a healer/midwife, the matriarch wanted to make sure Renessie was healing properly as well as check on her new granddaughters. Since it was rather uncommon for Argonians to undergo live births, the risk of developing complications during or after delivery was still an issue, hence the need for a follow-up exam.
Thankfully, there was nothing to worry about aside from some slight bleeding and (obvious) tenderness. With this information, the younger female was then ordered to stay bedridden for the next two to three weeks to ensure proper recovery and rest.
As for Lotus and Water-Lily, both little ones were perfectly healthy and content with sleeping in their Fathers' arms. Of course, Swims-To-Sea and Runs-To-Shore were more than happy to be cradling their new daughters as their mate looked on in adoration. While she was indeed happy, her mind suddenly drifted back to when their son was born and they lost his twin brother. Although she was grateful to have her little boy and her new daughters, Renessie still mourned for the son she lost and prayed to the Hist that he was safe in the afterlife. She knew her mates felt the same as they looked upon her with an unspoken sadness in their eyes.
Nuzzling her, both Sea and Shore shared in Renessie's grief as they thought about their firstborn son and how he never got the chance to grow up. Although the three of them were still grieving from the loss, they were slowly healing with each passing day. Whenever they looked upon their surviving son, they were reminded that he was their light amidst the darkness, hence his namesake. And now, with the addition of their girls, they were given two more reasons to keep moving forward and look for the good in every situation.

After breakfast, Tenova, Reem-Sha and Odahviing headed out to tend to the animals, while Stone-Scale rode off to enlist some help in tracking and hunting down the werewolf. He figured there were others whose farms/livestock were attacked, hence the need for assistance and teamwork.
Upon entering the center of town, he was met with a group of people who were indeed in the same situation he was in: their farms had also been raided and their livestock were either taken or slaughtered. From the information he gathered, these attacks had started nearly a week ago, which meant the werewolf responsible had either been recently afflicted with lycanthropy, or had traveled across the lands before stumbling upon Blackwind looking for an easy food source. If that was the case, maybe it could be captured and swiftly dealt with as opposed to hunting it down like a wounded boar. Either way, it needed to be culled before it decided to take its hunger out on an unsuspecting farmer or child.
