A very pregnant Ling waddled into the first year dining room and 
sat at the table with the rest of the family. She was due to give birth 
at any time and was looking forward to being able to walk around 
with her normal grace. Her frequent need to go pee was another 
thing that she hoped would end soon, since she didn't enjoy going 
to the bathroom in front of an audience. The students, fascinated 
by her pregnant body, took every opportunity to look at her naked 
form. 

Arriving at the table, she sat down heavily and said, "I had four 
offers to rub lotion onto my stomach by students. I think that is a 
record for one trip to the bathroom."

Ed smiled at her and said, "They have come to appreciate the 
miracle that is birth."

Knowing what the students really wanted, Leroy asked, "Why 
don't you get undressed?"

His comment brought smiles to everyone at the table. John and Ed 
nudged each other with exaggerated leers that everyone noticed 
except Ling. Disappointed at her lack of response, they looked 
over at her in concern until they realized that she was seriously 
thinking about the question.

"I'll be surrounded by the entire school in five minutes," answered 
Ling still incredulous that she was actually pregnant. When she 
had returned from her hiking trip with Leroy, her period had not 
returned. Concerned about it, she had gone to a doctor only to find 
that she was almost four months pregnant. That explained the lack 
of a period while she was out in the woods. It didn't explain why 
she didn't have morning sickness. This whole pregnancy was odd.

Teasing her wife, Linda said, "Must be nice to be so popular. I've 
walked through here naked and no one even noticed."

"It must be the fact that I now have breasts," remarked Ling with a 
smile as she put her hands under her breasts. They had swelled 
much more this pregnancy than during her first one. They were 
even larger than Kelly's breasts and they had been a gift from the 
Goddess.

Ed reached out and rubbed a hand over the swollen belly feeling 
the life within. There was only the slightest stirring of the infant 
within and that worried him. Kelly noticed his expression and said, 
"The baby is just saving its energy for when it is born."

The sluggish movements of the baby were a major concern of 
everyone in the family. All of the tests indicated that the baby was 
healthy and properly formed. Several of the Druid healers had said 
that the baby was going to be very strong, but the lack of activity 
seemed to suggest otherwise. Ling was afraid that it was because 
she hadn't taken proper care of it during the first four months of her 
pregnancy. John knew the direction Ling's thoughts had taken and 
said, "You didn't know."

"How could I not know that I was four months pregnant?" asked 
Ling still incredulous at the idea. Shaking her head, she added, 
"Leroy, I'm so sorry. I gave you lots of grief because I thought that 
things hadn't worked out the way I planned."

Rather than address her self-recrimination, Leroy said, "You 
looked really good in the park ranger outfit. I enjoyed every minute 
of our time together."

Ling was about to respond when a small contraction rippled 
through her body. Wide eyed, she said, "I think something is 
happening."

Kelly stood up and said, "Boys, you got to stay here. We'll let you 
know when you can come see her."

A look of real disappointment crossed the faces of Ed, John, and 
Leroy. This was going to be their fourth child and they hadn't been 
allowed to participate in the miracle of birth once. Kelly had given 
birth before they even made it to the hospital. Linda had given 
birth under circumstances that had required significant medical 
care. Ling wasn't going to act weak in front of her husbands. They 
watched as Linda and Kelly helped Ling out of the dining room. 
Ed looked at Leroy and said, "I still can't believe that she didn't 
know she was pregnant."

"She said that her period tends to stop when she is in training and 
figured that had happened out in the woods," replied Leroy with a 
shrug. He was having difficulty explaining it. Shaking his head, he 
finally said, "We're men. What do we know about this stuff?"

Ed and John laughed at the fact that there was more than a little 
truth in his question. William didn't say a word as he watched his 
fathers discuss the matter. After a while, he said, "My sister will be 
a strong warrior."

"Your sister?" asked Beth in surprise. "I'm okay and I'm not a 
warrior."

"No, I meant my little sister," replied William.

Beth and Little John shared another one of those looks that 
conveyed another puzzle about their little brother that they had to 
solve. They had sworn to protect him, but he had never seemed to 
need it. Little John asked, "How can you know that?"

William just shrugged as if that was all the answer anyone required 
and as far as he was concerned the matter was settled. Stroking his 
medallions, John studied William trying to understand how it was 
that the boy seemed to see a different world than everyone else. 
His medallions were silent and he gained no further insight.

Leroy asked, "Are you kids going to your next class?"

Little John answered, "No way. I want to find out if I have a little 
brother or sister. I hope it's a brother, just so that William is 
wrong."

Everyone at the table laughed as William rolled his eyes. Even 
though he didn't understand the source of his knowledge, his 
pronouncements were never wrong. He stood up and started to 
walk away.

John asked, "Where are you going?"

"Class," replied the boy as he continued on his way. 

The group at the table watched him walk off. No one was surprised 
by the style of his behavior, but his lack of interest in what was 
happening to Ling was another matter. Beth, frowning, asked, 
"Why is he going to class?"

Eyes tracking William as he went through the door to the hallway, 
John answered, "I think he is pretty sure that the baby won't be 
born any time soon."

Leroy and Ed looked at each other realizing that it would be a 
while before Ling gave birth. Ed said, "Yeah, it took a long time 
for Ling to give birth to Little John."

The group sat around talking about things, eating snacks, and 
drinking various beverages. The kids were drinking milk, Leroy 
was drinking coffee while John and Ed were drinking iced tea. The 
time passed slowly and there was no news. After two hours had 
passed, William returned from class to find that his family had not 
moved from the table. Puzzled, he asked, "Why are you still here?"

"We're waiting to hear about Ling," answered Leroy as though his 
answer should be self-evident. 

William shrugged his shoulders and sat down while opening a 
book. Leaning back in his chair, he started to read ignoring 
everyone else. Beth moved so that she could read the cover of the 
book. Aloud she asked, "Dune?"

The boy didn't answer her question, but just kept reading. With a 
slow but consistent flipping of pages, he worked his way through 
the book totally enraptured by the story. Little John said, "I'm 
getting bored. Maybe I should get something to read."

"I'm bored, too." Beth looked around at her fathers as a smile came 
over her face. She asked, "Is anyone up for a game of Hunt The 
Bug Eyed Monsters?"

Almost without thinking, Ed replied, "I am!"

John and Leroy laughed at Ed's speedy answer and joined in. "Me 
too!"

Putting up his book, William stood ready to play. Ed picked up 
Little John and set him on his shoulders. "Last one to the apartment 
is a rotten egg!"

The three men rushed out of the dining hall with a child each 
riding their shoulders. They arrived at the apartment at the same 
time. Within minutes, the living room had been turned into a space 
ship. John called out, "Pilot!"

Beth called out, "Navigator!"

Leroy shouted, "Communications!"

Putting his hand over Ed's mouth, Little John said, "Gunner!"

William said, "Gunner!"

Prying Little John's hand off his mouth, Ed muttered, "Mechanic, 
again."

Everyone laughed and took their places. William and Little John 
sitting in the two chairs flanking the couch. John was in the center 
of the couch with Beth to his right and Leroy to his left. Ed was 
stuck sitting on a footstool, the low man in the crew. Once 
everyone was seated, John ordered, "Navigator, plot a course to 
BEM central."

"Aye, aye," replied Beth writing on a tablet. Looking up she 
handed the tablet to John and said, "Course plotted."

John checked out the tablet amazed that she had plotted a three-
dimensional course. Smiling, he said, "Communications, tell base 
that we are heading out."

Leroy, in a very official tone of voice, said, "Base, this is Bug 
Hunter One. We are heading out."

John made driving motions with his hands while Little John and 
William rubbed their hands. He shouted, "Going into warp drive 
on three. One, Two, Three."

On the count of three, John acted as if he were punching a button 
and everyone started shaking like they were going over a bumpy 
road. They kept that up for about a minute and then John said, 
"Arriving at BEM central on one. Three, Two, One."

Everyone stopped bouncing went about getting ready to engage the 
monsters. John started acting like he was flying a spacecraft. Leroy 
looked up and said, "Twelve of them ahead at two o'clock high and 
ten of them at ten o'clock low."

Little John and William started making zapping noises as they 
fired their make believe laser guns at the bug-eyed monsters. Little 
John shouted, "Going to bug tracker missiles."

William replied, "Going to laser cannon. There's too many of 
them."

With ka-booms and whizzes coming from the two young boys, Ed 
laughed and said, "Better watch out. Those bugs are tricky."

Leroy shouted, "They got the communications antenna."

With a wink, John said, "Go fix it, lowly Mechanic."

While the kids were giggling, Ed shot a look at John and shook his 
head. He acted like he was putting on a space suit and then 
stepping out of an airlock. As he went, he called back, "You guys 
keep them nasty monsters off my back!"

As Ed pretended to fix an antenna, the others continued to fight the 
monsters. After a few minutes, William stood and went to the door, 
opening it before the person outside had a chance to knock. He 
gestured for her to enter the room. Laura Brockmire, the Druid in 
charge of the infirmary, entered and watched with a grin as Ed 
floated around the room. When everyone quieted down after 
noticing the presence of Laura, Ed called out, "There are still 
monsters out here."

The lack of response from anyone caused Ed to turn to see what 
was the matter. Spotting Laura, he blushed and said, "I didn't know 
you had come in."

Laughing, Laura shook her head and said, "When I told Kelly that 
I would get her husbands, she said the children would be playing. I 
can see she was right."

Leroy begged, "Tell us the details."

"Ling gave birth to a nice healthy girl," replied Laura with a smile. 
She added, "It was the strangest thing. When the doctor went to 
spank her to start the breathing reflex, she cough and then yelled."

"Yelled? Don't you mean cried?" asked John.

"She shouted Yeah!" It was the strangest thing she had ever 
witnessed in her life. It was almost as though the baby had made a 
high-five gesture.

Leroy laughed and said, "What you expect from a baby with me as 
father and Ling as the mother?"

The family followed Laura down to the infirmary, finding Ling on 
the bed holding the baby wrapped in a blanket. They approached 
quietly, but Ling said, "Don't worry. She's wide awake and ready 
to go."

Leroy bent over and looked at the baby girl. She moved her hands 
and legs as if she were trying to get rid of the blanket. Looking at 
the baby, he said, "You're gorgeous. Just as beautiful as your 
mother."

Ling, weak and with face pale from giving birth, replied, "And just 
as restless as her father."

Ed quipped, "It could have been worse."

"Huh?"

"Could have been as ugly as her father and mean as her mother," 
replied Ed with a smile. His comment provoked a laugh from 
everyone, including Leroy who made a gesture like he was 
mortally wounded.

Impatient, William asked, "Her name?"

Ling glanced at John for a second and then said, "Elizabeth Jones. 
I thought we could call her Betsy."

Shocked, John looked down at the floor to try to control his 
emotions. Ed understood and put a hand on his shoulder. Kelly 
smiled at the reaction of John, knowing that Ling had tried to 
honor his first real love. Ling reached out and took his hand. In a 
weak voice, she said, "Yes. I know all about Betsy."

"Thank you, Ling," replied John. He looked down at the baby and 
said, "Betsy, you are a beautiful baby."

The children crowded around the baby, each taking a turn looking 
at her. Beth said, "I'll protect you, Betsy."

Touching her right hand, Little John said, "I'll help you in every 
way that I can."

When it was time for William to look at her, he stood there for a 
long time without saying a word. Finally, he said, "I'll listen to 
you."

The comment surprised everyone. Linda gathered the kids together 
and said, "Let's go outside so your fathers can talk to Ling."

When the children left, Betsy started getting very active and fought 
her way out of the blanket. Ling asked, "Why did you do that 
again?"

The mother and daughter fought as Ling tried to get the baby 
wrapped in the blanket. John watched the child work to keep the 
blanket from around her and said, "She doesn't want to be wrapped 
in a blanket."

Exhausted, Ling said, "She never moved inside me and now she's 
never stopped moving."

Laura came over and said, "Let me put her in a crib so that you can 
get some rest."

Ling nodded her acceptance as John said, "Good idea. We'll let you 
get a little rest."

Linda took John's hand and led him out of the room followed by 
Leroy and Kelly holding hands. Ed stayed back and said, "I'm so 
happy for you."

"Thanks for being there, Ed," replied Ling. No one had paid more 
attention to her throughout the pregnancy than Ed. He had rubbed 
cream on her stomach, fetched things so that she wouldn't have to 
move too much, and helped her wash in the shower. Anything that 
she wanted, he would fetch it for her. 

Ed bent down and kissed her on her forehead. Her face was a mess, 
the consequences of giving birth. As far as he was concerned, she 
was the most beautiful woman in the world at that moment. 
Straightening, he said, "I love you."

Ling winked and said, "Just wait until I'm strong enough to unleash 
my mean."

Ed laughed as he left Ling in the able care of Laura. She had 
watched them and how they treated Ling. They were supportive 
without being maudlin, teasing her and each other without spite or 
meanness. She turned and took care of her patient.

Students stopped Ed as he walked down the hallways of the school 
asking for details about the baby. The news was spreading through 
the school. Many of the students wondered when they could see 
the infant and mother. Ed answered that it would be up to the 
mother and Laura as to when they could see Betsy.

When he reached the apartment, the only one there was Linda. She 
had just finished putting up the mess made when they played their 
game. Looking up at Ed, she said, "You children make such a mess 
of the house."

"It's too cold to play outside," remarked Ed as though trying to 
excuse the mess they had made. 

After finishing straightening the seats on the couch, she patted a 
spot and said, "Have a seat here."

Ed sat down and watched as Linda set all of the chairs back in their 
right position. As she worked, she said, "You've been a big help to 
all of us when we've been pregnant. As Ling was giving birth, she 
said that the women of this family had to find some way to thank 
you."

"You're quite welcome," replied Ed taking her comment as a thank 
you for his actions.  

His response frustrated Linda. It was impossible to show how 
much she appreciated his care. She still remembered how he had 
sat by her bedside through her entire pregnancy. She asked, "Is 
there anything we can do to thank you?"

"You don't need to thank me. I enjoyed being needed," replied Ed. 
He added, "Having Ling pregnant here sure made the past few 
months go by quicker."

Frustrated, Linda joined him on the couch. She knew what he 
really wanted and there wasn't any way that they could give it to 
him. He wanted to go back to Arizona, but John and the children 
needed to remain here. She put her hand on his thigh and said, 
"You don't like it here."

"I love being around my family," replied Ed. He preferred not to 
think about being away from home. He looked down at Linda's 
hand and smiled as she started rubbing it up and down the length 
of his thigh. "If you keep that up, I'll love it around here even 
more."

Linda asked, "Would you like a blowjob or an hour long orgasm?"

"Decisions, decisions," answered Ed.

"If you don't decide, I will," teased Linda.

"Some threat. Do I want heaven or heaven?"

Linda stood and gestured for him to follow her to the bedroom. He 
stood and let her lead the way to her bedroom. Once there, she 
stripped and helped him undress. He took the moment to 
appreciate her body. Her smooth flawless skin, reddish hued, took 
his breath away. Her figure was perfection, her long black hair ran 
down to the middle of her back. She was a sexy woman and Ed 
didn't believe that any man would fail to recognize that.

"I am so lucky to have a beautiful woman like you in my life." The 
comment came without hesitation or embarrassment. 

Staring down at Ed, Linda could not believe how blind he was to 
her imperfections. She felt that her features were too sharp, her 
breasts were starting to sag, and her body wasn't well proportioned. 
His easy acceptance of her body only made her love him even 
more. 

The sight of Linda was the kind of visual stimulation that caused 
him to get erect. As his cock filled with blood, Linda bent down 
and started to suck on it. This increased the rate at which his cock 
became erect. Once it was fully erect, she climbed on it and then 
didn't move. Leaning forward, she kissed Ed. Her lips and tongue 
exploring his lips while her hands teased his nipples. She started to 
contract her cunt muscles, giving a sensual milking sensation on 
his cock. 

For the next hour, she stayed atop him milking his cock without 
moving. Her hands roamed his body with a light pressure that 
excited rather than tickled. The sensations were driving him crazy. 
When she felt him start to come, she tightened her inner muscles 
stopping his orgasm. 

Linda was proud of the control that she had over her inner muscles. 
She had worked hard to condition them for the purpose of driving 
her husbands wild in bed. Now as she controlled Ed's reactions in 
bed, she knew that her hard work was paying off. He was thrashing 
around, lifting his hips off he bed, and doing what ever he could to 
increase the stimulation to his cock. 

Ed was coming and had been coming for half an hour. This was a 
full body orgasm that intensified as time passed. It reduced him to 
a continuous babble. Linda climbed off him and put her lips around 
the head of his cock. It leaked a continuous flow of come. She 
loved come and used her mouth to keep him coming for another 
half an hour.

His body glowed a bright red from the orgasm while sweat covered 
his body by the time she finally stopped. He went from coming to 
sleeping without a pause. Sitting next to him, Linda smiled down 
at his sleeping form. Most sexual pleasure existed in the mind and 
knowing the effect that she had on Ed was one of the greatest 
pleasures she experienced. 

Still naked, she stood up and left the room while he lay in bed 
asleep. The scent of sex hung heavy in the air around her. Stopping 
in the bathroom, she wiped the come that had drained from her 
cunt off her thighs. She considered taking a shower, but chose not 
to do it.

John, Leroy, and Kelly occupied the living room and she sat down 
on one of the chairs. Kelly looked over at her and said, "You smell 
like you've just made Ed a very happy man."

Blushing, Linda answered, "I don't know who is happier, him or 
me."

Leroy said, "I'm worried about him. He hasn't been his normal 
joking self lately."

"I know. He misses the desert."

"He's homesick," replied Kelly. 

"Besides being here for us, what is he doing here?" asked Linda.

There was only a single way to respond to that question. John 
answered, "He's teaching."

Sighing, Kelly retorted, "He taught in Arizona. With regards to 
him being here for us, we are hardly ever here."

The family fell quiet while they considered what Kelly had just 
said. She had just summarized the world as seen by Ed in two 
sentences. No one knew what to say about his situation. 

Ed woke later and went to visit Ling in the infirmary. When he 
entered, she was breast-feeding Betsy. It was a soft Ling, looking 
down at the baby with a smile on her face, who greeted Ed.  This 
was a side of her that didn't come out very often and Ed took the 
moment to appreciate it. With a smile, he said, "You look like an 
angel."

"Oh, Ed. You are blind. I don't have any makeup on my face, my 
hair is scraggly, and I'm tired." Ling looked up at Ed to see him 
shaking his head in disagreement. 

"I'm not lying or even hedging the truth. You look wonderful lying 
in bed feeding Betsy," replied Ed.

"You sure are good for a woman's ego." Ling grimaced as Betsy 
got a little forceful in her feeding.

Ed noticed the grimace and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Betsy is a tiger. She won't sit still and goes after my breasts like a 
cat on a mouse," answered Ling. Even as Ling spoke, Betsy threw 
off the blanket. Ling wrestled with the blanket, hampered by the 
fact that she was holding the baby. Frustrated, she said, "This kid 
won't stay still. She's moving constantly until she falls asleep."

The comment brought a little chuckle to Ed as he replied, "And 
you were worried because she wasn't moving much."

Shooting a look that bordered on a glare in his direction, Ling 
asked, "Beware what you wish for?"

Laughing, Ed answered, "I didn't say that. I was just saying that 
your fears didn't come true."

With a suddenness that was almost shocking, Betsy stopped 
feeding and pushed away from her mother's breast. Ling looked 
down at the baby and asked, "Do you want to hold her?"

"Sure, I'd love to hold her."

Handing the child over to Ed, Ling took care to keep the head 
supported. Ed accepted the infant cradling it in the crook of his 
arm and took a seat next to the bed. Rocking and bouncing the 
baby with gentle motions calmed her down. After a minute of 
rocking, Betsy fell asleep. Even asleep, her arms and legs moved 
constantly. He grinned down at the baby taking in her perfect little 
features. In a soft voice, he said, "It's a miracle."

Ling said, "Put the blanket on her."

"She doesn't want it," replied Ed as he studied Betsy's features. 
Looking up at Ling, he said, "She doesn't like to be constrained."

"You're kidding?"

"Not at all," replied Ed. He put a finger in her hand and she tried to 
twist it. Her little foot came up and kicked his hand causing him to 
smile. He added, "William said that she was going to be a warrior."

"William said that?"

"Yes, he did. So when are you going to start training her?"

"Training? It'll be years before she's ready to be trained," replied 
Ling surprised at the question. She hadn't even given any thought 
to training the children in the martial arts. 

"She's going to be ready for training before you are ready to train 
her," replied Ed. Sound asleep, her arms and legs kept moving and 
churning. It was as though she were already practicing crawling. 
He rubbed a hand under her chin, which she promptly pushed out 
of the way. Looking up at Ling, he said, "She's ready to fight right 
now."

"We need to cover her with the blanket," asserted Ling.

"It's warm enough in here that a blanket is not necessary," replied 
Ed. He added, "We have lots of naked people walking around here. 
Can't have it cold."

Ling shrugged as she said, "If you say so."

"At least she keeps her diaper on."

"Don't give her any ideas," replied Ling with a laugh.

Laura came into the room and looked at Ed holding Betsy. She 
smiled at him and said, "You seem to love kids more than anyone 
else that I know."

"They are innocent. How can help feel anything except love 
towards them?" asked Ed. For a moment, he was taken back to the 
raid on the pedophile sex ring that was swapping their own 
children. Even to this day he couldn't understand how they could 
perform such a heinous act.

"They are cute at that age. The teenage years are when they lose a 
lot of that cute-ness," replied Laura.

"Shh, don't say that in front of the mother," teased Ed. 

Ling retorted, "Our children will be cute even when they are 
teenagers."

"See what I mean."

Laura laughed and accepted Betsy from Ed. It was time to take the 
child back to her crib for the night. As she left with the child, she 
said, "I'll be right back."

Moving to stand by Ling, Ed asked, "How are you feeling?"

"I'm feeling good. The birth wasn't as hard as the first one," 
answered Ling. It seemed to her that once Betsy decided it was 
time to be born, that nothing was going to get in her way. 

Laura returned and looked over at Ling for a minute. She had 
never seen an infant attack a breast with such intensity. She said, "I 
noticed that Betsy is a little rough when she nurses."

"I hate to think what it going to happen when she gets teeth. She'll 
bite off my nipples," replied Ling cringing at the thought. Her 
breasts were still sore from the last feeding.

"I'm going to suggest that you use a breast pump and then bottle 
feed her with your own milk," said Laura.

"Do I get to operate the pump?" asked Ed in a teasing tone of voice 
making gestures as though milking a cow with his hands.

"Get out of here," replied Ling.
