Wanderlust Beastkin, Beauty and the Beastkin-Chapter 94: Test

He got up and went to one of his bags, pulling out some herbs and mixing them in a mortar and pestle until they turned into a powder. Then he put the slightly green-tinted powder into a small wooden bowl. You don’t give off the scent of a pregnant female yet, but this powder will change into a shade of blue if you’re going to lay eggs. All you have to do is put a little bit of pee in the bowl. If the powder stays green, then you’re not pregnant.

"Oh, alright." I thought that the test would be a lot less straightforward and more suspect, but this feels like it might actually be accurate. "Thanks for making it for me, I’ll use it right now."

I took the bowl and ran around the back of a couple of large trees. I put some pee in the bowl, although it was really awkward, and then I set it down on a nearby large rock and paced while I waited for it to turn into another color or become a more vibrant green. I was pacing with nerves while I kept my eyes glued on the powder. What did I want? I didn’t even know. I didn’t really want to have babies right now, but I would love them more than my parents ever loved me. I wouldn’t have to raise them alone. I’m so young, though. I wasn’t planning on having any kids for quite a while, though things are much different here, and by their standards, I’m in my sixties. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

I stared and stared at the powder, feeling like time was slowing down, and then I saw that it was slowly changing...

My brain seemed to short-circuit when I saw the color change.

"What..."

"The..."

"Hell?"

"Those birth control pills did nothing."

I stared at the dark blue powder, obviously and boldly blue. There’s no mistaking that color.

I debated on tossing aside the powder out of embarrassment at the idea of presenting pee-filled powder to Oliver, but he’s a doctor, so there’s no reason to prevent him from seeing it. If anything, he might be able to tell more about it if he sees the results in person.

I took a deep breath and let it out, then picked up the bowl and looked at it.

"Babies, I’m going to be a mother," I said while staring at it. Really? Me?"

I walked around the other side, and by the time I was back in sight, there was a crowd gathered around Oliver with anxious looks on their faces. I sighed and walked closer to them, and then lowered the bowl so that they could get a better look at the mixture. There was no need to say anything, as they saw it, there was a mixture of loud simultaneous gasps.

I gave them a nervous half grin, and then I was enveloped in hugs and kisses. Oliver slipped into the pile and quickly snatched away the powder to observe it more closely.

"Oh my!" Oliver said in a loud voice.

Everyone suddenly paused and looked at him. He set down the powder and rushed over to me, managing to push aside the other males crowded around me, which was pretty funny considering his small size. He lowered himself onto his knees and pressed his ear against my belly. Then he lifted my shirt above my belly without saying a word. He had such a strong reaction on his face that I didn’t say anything. Then he moved his ear to the other side of my belly and laid his hands against one side and then the other. His eyes widened to the point that I wondered if perhaps they might fall out of their sockets.

"What? What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with my babies?!" I was shocked at the sudden feeling of terror and protectiveness that poured over me. Oh...I already love them. How is that possible?

He gave me a watery smile and held my hand, obviously happy to see that I was already protective of the babies.

He stood up and gave me a gentle hug to soothe my frazzled nerves. "Absolutely nothing is wrong; it’s just that both of your wombs are occupied."

My brain paused again while I processed that statement. "Both...both. I got pregnant...while I was pregnant. I looked over to my Fluffy, who was flushed to such a bright red that I momentarily compared him to a tomato, and then I looked up at his eyes, his beautiful sky blue eyes, which were trickling happy tears down his face.

"Oh...that’s right. Fluffy is one of the fathers. I’m going to have fox and chipmunk babies," I said in a voice that didn’t seem like my own. "Can you tell how many babies there will be?"

Oliver shook his head, "I won’t be able to tell for a few more days, this is an early stage. This stage is very important to make sure that you don’t lose any eggs."

"I could lose them?!" I said. I couldn’t, I wasn’t sure that I wanted them, but now that I have them, I don’t want to lose them!

"No!" Said Titus, taking hold of my head and pointing my face to his, just as I was feeling a panic attack come on. "Listen to me, alright, Sweetheart. You won’t lose any eggs; we won’t let that happen to you or them. We’ll keep you all safe, alright."

"That’s right."

"You’ll be safe," said the other men.

Titus placed a fierce kiss on my lips, and I felt myself swoon. Then he wrapped his muscular arms around me, and I felt so much safer.

"Alright, I’ll trust you and the others. I don’t like that we don’t have a home, though. Can we fix that soon?"

He gave me a large smile while holding my head still and staring into my eyes with his robin’s egg blue eyes. "That isn’t any trouble at all. I’ve been an adventurer and part of the Adventurers Guild Board for many seasons, with nothing to spend my gems on. We can buy whatever home you want with piles of gems left over. You and our babies will all be safe and well provided for. We also have enough mana between us to make sure that the eggs you give birth to will be strong and healthy." He smiled at me and then gave me another kiss.

I felt myself relax and return his smile.

"All better now?" he said in a soothing voice.

"Yes," I said while actually feeling better.

I gave him another hug and then reached out for Oliver and Fluffy. "We’re having babies," I said and kissed both of them in turn.

Oliver’s bottom lip was wiggling cutely, while he tried not to cry. "Are you happy?"

"I’m thrilled, I can’t wait to see our adorable babies. I hope some of them are chipmunk beastkin and cute just like you."

"You actually want chipmunk beastkin babies?"

"Why wouldn’t I? They’ll be adorable. I hope they get your cute tail, and I can’t wait to meet my little baby fluffies. A pure white fox baby would be adorable." I rubbed my belly affectionately, "I can’t wait to meet them." I kissed my fingers and pressed them against my belly. Then I hugged my belly.

"Me either," said Oliver. "This is a dream come true."

"I never thought I would be able to have eggs of my own," said Milo.

"Will you all treat the babies like your own?" I said while looking over at Titus, Ira, and Sam." I was worried about someone treating the babies like unwanted children because it wasn’t their baby.

"They are our own; all younglings within our family unit are our younglings," said Titus.

I looked deep into his eyes, seeing the truth there. Then I shook my head and looked at the others who were also agreeing. "I accept all of your babies as my own," said Ira, and then he reached forward and pressed his palm against my tummy. His hand glowed deep blue, and then he pushed some of his mana into my womb.

The males around Ira gasped and then smiled.

"See," said Titus. "Males only give their mana to an unhatched youngling when they’ve claimed them as their own."

I looked up at Ira and grabbed his face, planting a kiss on his lips. "Thank you, Ira! You won’t have to wait long before I get you pregnant," I said, and then blushed thinking about what I’d just said. "I just declared that I’m going to get a man pregnant," I said and then laughed.

He blushed while kissing me back. "I look forward to it," he said while smiling at me.

Titus stepped up to me and then pressed his palm up against my tummy next and pushed dark blue mana into my wombs. Then Milo added his green mana, and Oliver added his yellow mana. Lastly, Sam approached with a half grin and pressed his large hand on my womb, nearly covering my whole waist at the same time. When his hand glowed royal blue, a dark blue with a hint of purple, the others gasped.

"Sam, you’re already at the high end of blue? Why didn’t you say anything?" said Oliver.
