A few moments passed while the now 1 year old deities fed in a rotation. Undine's smirk slowly turned into a saddened yet curious glance. One that seemed to worsen when Telam's turn came up again. And then…
"Mommy Undine? Why did you stop nursing us?" The three remaining girls asked with a similar curiosity.
This question sent Undine for a loop of emotions. Why is there such a difference? Does it have something to do with our races? Or does it have something to do with the number of children we each had? Though she remained silent as she thought about it. But, the only answer she could give was realistically the only one she knew she could give. "Well, my darlings, My body stopped producing the milk you all seemed to enjoy so much…" She said, in a slightly saddened tone. I really did enjoy feeding them, it just felt right. I can't really explain it any other way.
"I'm curious about why that happened… It seems odd when I think about it." Night Silver chimed in, equally curious as she gently tapped her chin… Oblivious to the enticing nature behind it causing Undine to move closer and kiss her once more.
"Oh! Yay! Our Mommys' are so beautiful!" Earra said with a glisten in her eyes.
"Pfft, and you're our adorable little girls." Undine said, scooping them up in a big snuggly hug.
The girls laughed along with the warm embrace, and several of the other children came and jumped up on the bed to snuggle in with them too. Specifically the children here, were those who needed to be out of the house while their parents tried for another child, and all of the neighbors were filled up to the brim watching others. That said, most parents would send their children directly to Night Silver's home… She was often the one chosen by all the children regardless, hence the chaotic environment in this beautiful home.
"You know, I think it might be related to my race?" Night Silver finally answered. "When I think of the growth rate of our races, it feels like that's the only answer that makes sense." She continued, as the children continued to pile on the bed, each awaiting the story of the night.
"You really think so? And it's not that you had four babies at once… Lucky." Undine asked while she helped more of the children snuggle up closer and more comfortably. "Seriously, you really are lucky Sil. I love our son, but I really want another one. Or three…" She blushed as two of the girls wanted to make sure there was really nothing left to eat… There wasn't.
"Well Undine, the only thing I'd think having multiple at once would change, is the amount produced at the same time, right? So it would likely only change the volume I produce in a day. And considering how swollen my breasts got… Seriously, I grew like three sizes. Just look at this, they're huge now." Night Silver said, pushing on the sides of her breasts, and as they jiggled one with good hearing could hear the milk sloshing around. "Honestly, I'd rather have them drinking constantly at this rate." She giggled. "I could be wrong but that's my theory. And now, how about we start the story now? These little ones are ready for bed now." She added with a smile. "And you know, it doesn't matter what we experience, Undine. It will never change the love that I, Brightness, and all of our children that the three of us have together, all have towards you. You're family, and who cares if you stop producing milk? I have plenty to tide our babies over until they all get out of this phase. So cheer up, and remember to flaunt your pride."
"Thank you, I needed that. And I feel the same towards all of you as well. This deep sense of love is only strengthened by our bond. Hopefully our husband comes back soon, I'm going to make damn sure I'm carrying before I let him leave home again."
"I will of course be joining you in this endeavor. I found the only part of bearing children to be the last part. It may have been far more difficult in the real world we used to live in, but here, in this body… I'm basically indestructible."
"Doesn't mean it didn't hurt though?"
"Absolutely not. That hurt so bad. However, these cuties made it all worth it."
A few days later, the influx of children were able to return to their parents. The three dragons returned from their training grounds. They had to go a bit of a distance so as not to cause accidental damage to the nation. And, it was the only way to have zero interruptions for their intensive training. Intensive being the operative part of that, especially seeing how ragged 3 of them were, especially 2 of them.
"Wow, Frayrsis, Moigit… You two look like you could use a nice long nap and some rest." Undine said with a smirking giggle. "Don't take too long though. My wife and I are rather impatient for some alone time with our Husband."
"Uh, oh… I understand Big Sister Undine. I'll do my best to recover quickly." Moigit said in a panic after sensing the true intent behind those words.
"Come on brother, let's go and recover quickly…" Frayrsis said, nodding to Moigit and about to take off for their lairs.
"Hold on, just a moment. These four are druids specializing in recovery type druidic magic. Each of you will be given two of them. I want you to rate your recovery progress as well as the berries they make for you." Night Silver mentioned, before the pair of brothers could fly away.
"Uh… Wow, Big Sister, just how fast do you want us to recover? It might be faster if you do it…"
"Oh, be serious. This is perfect practice for these students. Working their magic on a dragon is going to be difficult. But I don't suspect it will take more than three days. But, if it does for some reason, I'll come and personally hasten your recovery myself."
"Hehe Uncle you better hurry. I want a younger brother and sister sooner rather than later." Earra said proudly pointing at Frayrsis and then at Moigit.
"Heh… Even our nieces are so imposing… Guess we have no choice now. Come to our lairs you can decide how you split them up." Frayrsis said, and the two dragons flew away.
