Heilyn rubbed her swollen stomach with a hand lovingly. She couldn't honestly say she was looking forward to the chaos of more children, but there was no way they wouldn't be loved. Of course that love also wouldn't stop her from talking to Temmin to getting an operation done to prevent this from ever happening again. Ever. She sighed at the paperwork in front of her, then looked over at Seth. A smile crossed her face as she looked over his form. She wanted to touch him and have him hold her, but she really didn't want to get up again. Her feet hurt like hell... and yet, her ass did too from all that extra weight pressing down on it. She waved to her Tove who flew to her, leaving the poor spider on the ceiling he was previously harassing alone. She gave him some instructions and he flew to Seth. He tugged on the man's sleeve then pointed to Heilyn and gave a soft chirp. Her ears rose from their previously tense position and her tail gave a wag. Even as she was, she knew he still found her desirable. His touch and the way he looked at her never changed. It brought her a lot of comfort in this rather turbulent time for her. Better than the first time. ----------- A Bipedal Coyote sat alone in her room, heavily pregnant and holding herself. She wanted her lover there to hold her, but something was holding her back. She'd never been pregnant before and she rather disliked the changes happening to her body. Did he really still find her beautiful? Would he leave her? Tears welled up in her eyes as her insecurities barraged her. Her legs curled into her body as closely as they could. The gilled Tove chirped and rubbed himself against her face, trying to calm her. Her head snapped to the door of the bedroom as it opened.

The bat was sitting back on the bed, absently flipping through a document that he'd agreed he'd look over for Heilyn. Having her be pregnant again brought a fair amount of change into the man's life, but he found it was almost a soothing comparison when he considered the way things had gone the last time she'd been pregnant. That had been... difficult, to say the least. Seth was a man who had no clear ideas about how a person was supposed to act when they were constantly under scrutiny in regards to their feelings. But there were some changes that he found amusing. Having Heilyn spending most of her time in her biped was different, certainly, but the more time he spent around her, he found that he had... missed it. The way the light played across her coat was really quite beautiful, especially now that the oils lacked their offensive smell and taste. And oh, the ways her body grew... The man already had issues keeping his hands off of her, and somehow pregnancy just made it harder. It probably had something to do with her increase in cup-size. He had just flipped back a page in the papers when the Tove tugged on his sleeve. It had taken him some time, but now that the creature was calmer and the man had adjusted to him, he didn't mind it nearly as much as he had. He glanced up at Heilyn, as directed, and gave her a warm smile. He shifted from where he lay, moving off the bed and walking over to the coyote, kissing her cheek. " How's work?[/b]" he asked gently, beginning to massage at her shoulders. He knew pregnancy made her joints ache. ~*~ This wasn't what he'd expected. He'd thought that the pregnancy would bring them closer together, but Heilyn was constantly driving him back, pushing him away then tearfully calling him forward again.
He had a suspicion that her own doubts on the father of the children she carried made the hormones she was dealing with even more impossible, but it seemed that nothing he did made her feel any better. The man was at a loss, but he wasn't about to give up. He knew that some aspect of her, deep down, needed him close, and he hoped she'd learn to deal with that in time.
He pushed the door open, holding in his hands a tray of the strong tea the woman liked to drink and a potion from Bernard designed specifically to ease the pains and discomfort she might feel. He smiled at her as she glanced at his figure in the doorway, hoping to reassure her of something.
"Hey,[/b]" he said softly, a little awkwardly as he used his rump to close the door behind him, slipping into place beside her on the bed, leaning forward to plant a kiss on her forehead. " How're you doing? I brought some tea and stuff...[/b][/i]

She smiled and sighed, letting her tail wag. She could feel a tear welling up in her eye, emotions bubbling up. She loved him more than she could say.
"Boring as hell, ooh~!" he'd hit a tense spot right on his first touch and it rather took her by surprise. She gave a pleasured hum and relaxed into his touch, allowing herself to have a rather goofy-looking grin on her face. Tinman kept his distance, having been trained to do so when the two of them became intimate. He immediately went back up to the ceiling and quickly found his 8-legged friend again.
~<3~
A smile tried to make its way on her face, causing her lips to twitch in odd ways. Then suddenly she started shaking slightly and her bottom lip quivered. She took in a small but sharp breath, emotions conflicting as he kissed her forehead.
"Thank you," she said in barely a whisper, taking the herbal tea from him. They both were warned against black and green teas. The mixture of chamomile, peppermint, and rosehips rose in a soothing steam that curled around her snout. With the deep breath taken in a released, she could feel herself relax.
"S-sit with me?" she asked hopefully, hoping he'd forgiven her for her latest tantrum. Tinman, on the other hand, chirped loudly and floated around Seth's head, reaching for his hair...

The man continued to work his hands into her back, gently tapping at her muscles and rubbing to break up the tension that he'd managed to find. Absently, he peered over her shoulder, feeling a little shamed - she'd gotten through three times the work he had, at least, and she hadn't even complained once until now. He supposed that was the reason she was in courts and he was only a bodyguard and occasional assistant. Clerical responsibilities, important as they were, held no draw to the man, but if Heilyn asked for the help he'd give it without thought.
He leaned forward, kissing across her neck softly as he continued to massage, letting his hands drop lower and work to her front, coming to rest on her round belly. She was... quite large now, and Seth instinctively knew that his newest children would be upon them soon enough. "You're doing a fantastic job.[/b]" he said, trailing kisses to her earlobe, which he bit softly. "It's probably because I'm so good at not distracting you, hmm?[/b]"
If he had a tail and was a canine, he'd be wagging it.
~*~
He could feel her hesitation and sighed softly at it. She was pulling away again, and he wished she'd just relax, but there was no way he could tell her that. Her emotions were completely messed up, and he wasn't willing to stir the pot even more than it had been stirred already. Instead, he simply smiled at her as she took the tea from him, hoping the drink would help her calm her nerves.
He had forgiven her last explosion, why couldn't she?
"I'd love to,[/b]" he replied as he slid into place beside her, absently waving Tinman away with a slight glare in the Tove's direction and then sliding his arms around his lover. "Are you feeling any better? Bernard sent a medicine that he says should help with the nausea.[/b]"[/i]

She quivered and gave pleased hums as he broke up the tension held in her shoulders. Her tantrums and various other emotional attacks, while still quite horrible, had been lessened since the last time, as all the bumps along the road where no longer a shock to her.
"Come now, I've been doing this shit for years. I would certainly hope I'm at least proficient," she smirked, nuzzling the face almost as hairy as hers even though she was in her Biped and he in his Human. His hair never ceased to cause her amusement. She quivered with a touch of excitement as his hands when down her front, touching her. While their fun became increasingly limited as the lives inside of her grew, making everything extremely delicate, the hormones only increased her lust at odd times. Well, there had to be some perk to mood swings, right?
However, that subsided just slightly as his hands fell upon her huge stomach. She quivered, but with a different emotion. "And I suppose it was your skill at not distracting me that got us into this mess in the first place?" she teased in a soft voice, placing her hands over his on her belly.
More. There would be more children. His children. Theirs. As much as her life did not need the chaos that more children would bring, she couldn't help but choke back a tear. She was happy, but a touch of darkness plagued her thoughts.
The success of her first litter did not change the fact she was still terrified for this one. Would more Bog-blooded children survive? Would it be possible for them to breathe both types of air? ....neither? Had she just gotten lucky the first time?
------
A genuine smile finally came through on her face. It was not terribly wide, as the hints of her most recent cry still remained on her face. A casual blink knocked a tear out of her eye, the water running right off her face over her oily fur. She took a sip of the tea in her hands, letting the warm roll into her. That with the sweet and soothing mixture of smells eased her nerves. Then she suddenly tensed at the sound of Bernard's name. She looked up at the man, ears as flat as they could be against her skull. She was pleased beyond words that the two men got along, but that didn't ease her fears. What if they were Bernard's? The chances were lower, yes, but that did not rule out the possibility. Would Seth leave her? Not to mention every fear she had for the children themselves. There had never been a single child to her knowledge of this heritage: Raemblen Bog and Outsider. What if it couldn't work? She didn't think she could handle a still birth, or watching them suffocate and die because of the air they couldn't breathe... the Maskmaker trying desperately to save them, but unable...
She shivered against him. She reached over and put her cup down on the nightstand and wrapped her arms around him as far as they would go. The Tove became more obnoxious to the point where Heilyn grabbed him out of midair and shoved him in the cage she kept him in over night on the bed stand.
She held him tighter to her, burying her face in his chest and crying.
"Seth..." she managed between sobs, "Please! Pr-promise me you won't leave me if they aren't yours..." she looked up at him, tear trails shining out against her slick fur.
[Things are gonna get fun very, very soon... >3 ]

The man loved her touch, and he snuggled into the fur of her shoulder, letting out a happy sigh. He'd never imagined this life for himself before - a life with only one lover and children, a life where those things could provide him with such incredible meaning - but he was living it, and every day was so much better than the last. Monogamy was much better than he'd ever imagined it could be, and he was glad for that. "Yup,[/b]" was his goodnatured response to her teasing, and he bit her neck again, this time sucking at her skin lightly before pulling away.
Beneath hers, his hands turned so that his palms were against hers, and he slid his fingers absently between her own, his thumbs brushing against the rough pads. "Can't help myself. You're too soft.[/b]" And she was, too. He loved it far too much.
Damn it, he loved her far too much, but it wasn't worth complaining over.
With a wide grin, he put his hands on her chair, spinning it so that she faced him, leaning forward so that his nose was only an inch or two away from hers. "How about if we grab that belly of yours something to eat soon, hmmm?[/b]" he asked in a light tone, planting a soft kiss on her wet black snout. "You've been working for hours, you've earned it.[/b]
~*~
It was all the man could do but hold the woman and let her cling as tightly as she needed. In a way, her emotional outbreaks frightened him more than he'd ever be capable of expressing. For all the time he'd known her, Heilyn had been so strong, stronger than he was in many ways. Seeing her in this fragile state worried him. What if she fell too far? What if there was nothing he could do to bring her back up? He shared most of her worries about the children she was carrying beyond questions of their paternity. If there was something wrong, he would be affected, sure, but he feared that it would break his Heilyn.
No, not his. She was decidedly her own person. Absently, the man began to stroke her head, absently massaging her behind her ear, knowing she would take some comfort in the action.
At her sorrowful question, Seth blinked and his brows furrowed. "Of course I will, Lyn,[/b]" he said softly, knowing it was true. If the children weren't his own, he wouldn't be pleased... But he also wouldn't leave her. He couldn't. He would take care of them and her if whoever the father was didn't want to be involved with them, though he worried that the opposite would happen and he'd be pushed out of her life.
"Hey now, no tears.[/b]" he said, red eyes meeting her yellow. One thumb gently moved across her cheek, an action that would have wiped her tears away in human form but only served to smear them further across her fur. In any other situation, he might have laughed. Now he realized that she would probably not understand the humor. "I [/i]love you. Nothin's gonna change that.[/color][/b]"
He was hopelessly caught up in her life.[/i]

She practically purred as he bit her neck. Mmmm, he really needed to stop teasing her like that... or not. She curled her fingers around his hands and closed her eyes, just enjoying every moment of this caress. It brought her happiness she couldn't describe. Not to mention the reassurance that he still found her attractive... Every time he did this, she could feel all of her worries take a small hiatus from their assault on her mind. In this moment, there was nothing but him and her. There was no paperwork, there was no court. Hell, there was barely the room around them as his armed held her to him so she could hear his breathing. The serenity between them everyone in a while interrupted by a kick from her belly. She gave a small grunt and released her hand from one of his to hold her stomach. That was a particularly violent kick.
"Food sounds like an incredible idea..." though she smirked, then turned and bit him softly on the neck, returning his action, "but maybe it can wait a bit...?" she smirked, eyes twinkling with mischievousness. She reached up behind her to run her fingers through his hair.
Then, very suddenly the chair underneath her became very wet.
Her eyes went wide and her face and ears fell. " 'Cuz, uh.. heh, I think it's time..." there was a fair amount of nervousness in her voice.
---------
She kept crying through his stroking, but it felt better than she could should say. The noises ceased in favor of just shallow breathing and a whimper every once in a while as she listened to him.
He would stay... he said so... Oh, by the Suits let that be true... The emotion in his voice was undeniable. He could've said it a thousand times, but the way he said it just now... every time he said it to her, just made her melt. She sniffed as he wiped her tears.
"I love you, Seth..." she whimpered, "Suits, I love you more than I could ever say..."[/color] she stared into his eyes, locked in his gaze. Her hands came up to touch his face gently, fingers weaving through his facial hair. She smiled against the sadness still expressed on her face, the edges of her lips torn between the two emotions, brow furrowed, eyes still shining. She leaned in and kissed him... then suddenly felt very horny and the kiss became a little rougher as she pulled him to her. She suddenly let out a little squeak as her water broke and she could feel her stomach give a small contraction. A second came, and harder this time.
"Seth...I... I think they're coming..." she said, voice cracking with her panic.[/i]
[>> trying to get a response out before bed... I hope it's alright...]

Mmmn, yes, Seth did like the direction this conversation was easing into. The meaning behind Heilyn's words was more than evident in the tone her voice took on, and the bite... Yes, a little bit of pre-lunchtime fun was just what he needed. He let out a quiet noise, a mix between a moan and a growl, leaning into her touch. She knew that pulling his hair when he was in this form was a very quick way to get him going, so to speak, and yet she insisted on doing it anyway... Silly woman never learned.
However, her next set of words completely reversed the work she'd done on him, and the man froze. His red eyes went slightly wide, and he slowly looked down - the spreading puddle was easy to see.
"Right,[/b]" he said, leaning forward and shifting into his biped form all in one fluid motion. Fur rippled across his skin, and he wrapped muscular arms gently around Heilyn's form, lifting her as delicately as he could manage and turning towards the door. "We should probably get Temmin then, hmm?[/b]" he said as light-heartedly as he could. He remembered the terror she'd felt before - he needed to keep her calm this time around. Up the stairs they went, the Bat activating his Spade ability for speed.
~~~
"Lyn...[/b]" the man replied softly, unsure of exactly what to do or say in the face of her panic. When she smiled at him, he smiled back, eyebrows raising slightly. Her expression was... very strange. He knew better than to make a big deal out of it - he knew that it was just her hormones acting up again. He would let it slide and just take the smile at face value.
All the same, it did try his patience sometimes.
She managed to pull his attention away from that thought quite well with the kiss, and the man sighed softly on her lips. Then she was kissing him harder, and he let out a muffled little "Mmnf!" as he let her press harder against him. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders, giving her support and more access all at once. She hadn't been too interested in sex in the last few days, so this was a nice change of pace...
But then she froze, and he froze as well, listening to her words with wide eyes. He could feel his entire body begin to tremble slightly. "Wait here. I'll find the doctor.[/b]" The man said quickly, giving her a quick kiss before hauling ass out of the room towards the chambers where he knew he could find someone to help.[/i]

Heilyn was always in admiration of the man's strength and the incredible amount of grace he could muster out of his bulky form if he tried. As fast as he took them, his step was relatively smooth and made the trip far less jarring than it could have been. Still, she wrapped her arms around his neck to help steady herself and kept her legs and head tucked in to prevent them from banging into stiff on the way. She just concentrated on breathing the entire way, trusting Seth with everything else. Heilyn was glad she was ready for labor pretty much as soon as they got there. She would've hated after all that rush to sit and wait in anxiety for the little wankers to get the hell out of her. One of the staff had been sent to get the man Heilyn had brought back from the Bog with her to make masks for the children should they take after her region. The medical staff was in the middle of shooing Seth out... just like last time... when Heilyn spoke up. "No," she told them rather sternly, "He stays here, with me." She extended a hand to him, wincing as a rather large contraction hit. ----- Heilyn just sat on the bed, shaking as she stared at the door the man and just left out of. After some time -- what felt like eternity, but was really only a few seconds -- the woman pulled herself to the pillows and did as she was taught by one of the midwives: concentrate on breathing. She lay there, shaking, trying to breathe, waiting for Seth and others to come back for her.
Finally, they did. It was a little too late to move her, so the babies would be born right in the bedroom. Just as Heilyn felt relieved to have Seth back again, the medical staff pushed him out so he would not get in their way. Too shocked and overwhelmed to say anything, Heilyn watched in horror as the door shut on the man's face.
Heavy contractions again. A person she barely knew was staring in between her legs telling her they were coming and to just push. Voices, noises, people... none of them were familiar and none brought her the comfort she needed at that moment. She pushed. All she could do to stop herself from screaming in panic and frustration was to scream in pain.

Seth was already feeling much, much better about this birth than he had about Rhiannon and Hadrian's. The mask-maker had already been sent for, Heilyn herself seemed much more calm... And he was being permitted to stay by her side. He turned to look a her, a small and reassuring smile crossing his face as he made eye contact, using a hand to brush her bangs away from her already slightly-sweaty forehead. "How're you holding up?[/b]" he asked softly, slipping his hand into her own and giving it a reassuring squeeze as she winced. The world was moving quickly around them as doctors and attending nurses bustled around, but Seth paid them no mind.
"Gonna be nice to have those little jerks on the outside, hmm?[/b]" he asked, tone light and a wide smile on his face.
~~~
Seth ran as fast as he could, his Spade ability giving him the extra burst of speed that he needed to find the people he needed to find. He explained to them in a rush the situation and then bolted back to their bedroom, terror fueling his movements. He returned sweating, his eyebrows furrowed as he moved to sit beside his Heilyn, reaching out to take her hand.
But then there was a doctor between him and the person he needed, pushing him insistantly away, ignoring Heilyn's crys. Seth looked the man in the eye, his expression confused. "Why?[/b]" he asked, but was answered only with a curt shake of the head as he was pushed back outside and the door was closed in his face. The bat could only stare at the thick wood before sliding down its surface, sitting on the floor outside of the room that he should be inside of.
He stayed there for what felt like hours but must have been a much shorter time, thoughts and worries racing through his mind. He was pulled violently from his thoughts at the sound of Heilyn's scream, however, and in a rush he slammed the door open, eyes wide. What he saw when he entered the room was not at all what he'd expected. The doctors turned to him, and he could make out traces of brown and blue fur in their arms.
They were his. The children were his. "I stay,[/b]" he said as he pushed his way through, a challenge clear in his eyes as he sat beside Heilyn, bringing her hand up to his lips and kissing it. "You're halfway there, love.[/b]" he whispered, leaning over and kissing her forehead as well. "They can't keep me out this time.[/b]"[/i]
