I can hardly tell when one contraction ends and the next begins, but I trust in her and push again. Pressure, not pain this time. My head spins and my vision blurs.

“One more push, Jade. The head is out. One more.”

I can’t believe I’m doing this.

I push again and it’s like a plug pops. There’s a sudden release of pressure, followed by a chorus of cheers and congratulations and encouragement. I can’t hear any of it.

All I can hear is the tiny, shaky voice of a baby making his first sounds. The first squalling sounds quickly turn into loud, angry cries. Then someone places him on my chest. I instantly know what perfection feels like.

It’s him.

His soft, soft skin. His perfect little face. His comically big eyes when he stops crying and stares at me.

Now, I know.

Nothing in the world could be more wonderful. It was all worth it. I look around from Stirling’s proud face, to Sapphy, Boaz, and Knight, and my cheeks hurt from grinning so hard.

Then I stare back down at my baby, at the wispy tendrils of hair covering his round little head. The tendrils of blue hair. “What the...?”

Stirling laughs. “All that alicorn. Told you he’s a unicorn.”

I run my fingertips over the wisps of hair in wonder. My baby closes his eyes and lets out a tiny shuddering sigh.

The nurse pats my arm. “Good girl. Now we just have to birth the placenta.”

“We have to what now!? What do you mean we?”

I don’t even get mad when the others laugh at my outburst.

Stirling

Aaron reaches out a chubby hand for Bliss’s tail and lands on his face instead. Bliss easily outruns him in shifted form, teasingly dancing and cavorting around him in circles. The chubby little boy plonks his bottom on the grass and picks up a leaf, inspecting it closely.

I dart in and snatch it away before he can get it into his mouth.

Last time I turned my back for a second, I looked back to find him coughing and choking, spitting up dry bits of leaf.

“No more leaves, buddy.”

He frowns at me, grabs an entire handful of leaves and holds them up to me with a huge, infectious grin on his round little face.

I can’t help laughing. “You’re lucky your mom’s not here.”

“Oh, is that right?” Jade’s voice from behind me makes me straighten guiltily.

I cough. “Ah, yeah. Because she would be saying it’s nap time. I bet it’s nap time. Is it nap time yet?”

I’m usually the one sneaking in to see if Aaron’s awake yet, causing Jade to reprimand me. Only today, I volunteered to be on kid duty while the others played after our run. Now, I really am wishing it was nap time. You could say I’m feeling a little restless.

Jade chuckles and comes closer, slipping her arms around my waist. She’s still naked and luscious after her swim in the river. I’d like nothing more than to lay her down in the grass andsee if I can coax a few more orgasms from her, but someone has to watch the rugrats.

“Are you hanging out for a little kid-free time, too, baby?” She slides her hands down my back and over my ass and I groan when her body presses her body into mine.

“Yes.”

“Aww.” She teases a finger beneath my tail and my cock jumps between us. “Aaron’s already had all his naps today, but when he goes to bed tonight, I’m going to make sure and take extra special care of you, OK?”
