"Lapi?  Lazi?" came a small voice from their front door.  The twin water dragons gasped and unfurled from each other, hurriedly dabbing off each others' juices from the crotches before slipping out into the foyer all blushing and panting.

"Cressa!" they both yelped, nuzzling and licking the little watery girl.  She giggled and licked back, their parents smiling but looking quite exhausted.

"Sorry, girls didn't mean to intrude but..."

"It's been so long!  Wanna come in?" Lapis asked.

"We have plenty of snacks!" Lazuli added.  Cressa needed no further goading, bounding into their den behind them and immediately taking a cookie from the center table.

"Do you mind watching her for a few days?  I'm really sorry to dump and run, but..."

"Politics and business and...it's been a lot and it's not over yet."

"Oh no, take your time!  We can catch up when you're done."
"We made enough to buy the space next door too, so you can have a place to crash if you need, want the keys to it?"

"Oh, dears, that'd be so very helpful, thank you," their mother replied with a grin.  Lapis fetched the key and handed it to them.  "It's been a long flight and walk so, despite her bounciness right now she's probably ready to crash soon."

"I'm sure we can bore her into a nap with our design chatter, we've got some big commissions coming up ourselves." 
"Though maybe she can help us model some of the materials in different lights."
"She's in good paws."
"Been too long since we last got to hang out with her!"

"Are you two still trying for kids, by the way?" their father asked, noting their bellies seeming bigger than before.

The two girls nodded and shared a nuzzle.  "Oh, we're already pregnant," they responded together.

Their parents' weary grins turned wider with repressed excitement.  "You...you're serious?  You got each other pregnant at last?"

"It's...ah..."
"A bit more complicated..."
"We'll tell you later."
"Complicated in a good way!"
"Yes!"
"Don't worry, we'll tell you all about it when you're more rested."

The two older water-types glanced at each other curiously, then their mother shrugged.  "Alright.  I'll be expecting the story then, just don't get into too much trouble with Cressie."

"No more than usual," they both replied.  Their parents smirked and nodded a goodbye, then turned and shuffled off.  Closing the door, Lapis sighed softly and Lazuli licked her cheek.

"Unexpected?"

"There go our plans for the big fun reveal I suppose."

"We can still have one, you know."

"I know."

"Lapi?  Lazi?"  Big blue eyes were staring up at them, the little eight-year-old dragoness sporting a number of cookie crumbs around her mouth.  "Mommy and daddy have been acting real weird lately...is something going on?"

Glancing at each other, they shook their heads.  "Mommy and daddy are wrapped up in all kinds of topics, Cressie."
"Maybe too much for their own good really..."
"There's stuff going on in the world all the time."
"Nothing for you to worry about right now though."
"What kind of weird?"

Cressa looked away at the curtained window, the sunlight coming in a watery blue through the fabric.  "Usually when daddy puts his penis in mommy, they're really happy after, but lately mommy's been sad.  And they haven't been mating as much as they used to.  It's like they're hugging more than having fun together."

"Mmm..."
"Do we tell her?" Lapis asked in a very low whisper.
"No."
"Thought not."  Leaning down to nuzzle their little sister, the twins licked her cheeks.  "Stress does that to grown-ups, Cressa.  They'll be fine again soon after they get things cleared up.  I don't know what things there are but..."
"They're hard at work still.  Hard work can wear you down and make you angry or sad.  Especially when it involves others."

"I don't wanna grow up.  I wanna be little forever!"

"Well, unfortunately...everyone has to grow up someday."
"Besides, if you stay small, you can't get a mate, and..."
"Get pregnant like you wanted to."
"Remember that?"

"But why not?  Why can't I have an egg and stay small?"

Lapis giggled and pulled away from her twin's wing grasp to retrieve an egg model.  "This is how big a Dragon egg usually is, kiddo."

Lazuli playfully nuzzled the little girl onto her back and she giggled, then gasped when Lapis set the egg on her belly.  "See how big this is?  Your cute little pussy would have to stretch that big to lay an egg."

"That's bigger than my belly!" she squeaked.

"Exactly."
"You can't stay small and safely get pregnant."
"Your tiny body wouldn't be able to handle the egg."
"You've gotta get big and sexy first."

Cressa held the egg model and turned it over.  "This isn't a real egg though is it?"

"Nope."
"It's a model."

"Why do you have a model?"

"Because," Lazuli trailed off as she moved over to the other room and came back with a carefully crocheted wrap decorated with starry gemstone cabochons, "we don't just make clothing for adults and kids."
"We make these fun little egg wraps too!"

"But why?  That seems kinda dumb, the baby can't feel those or stay warm in them?"

They giggled at her take on it.  "Grown-ups like to decorate things."
"Themselves, their eggs, their houses..."
"There are gonna be a lot of eggs soon."
"So we're making a lot of these so other Dragons can buy them."
"So we can have money to support your new little nieces and nephews!"

Her eyes flew wide and she scrambled to her little feet, wings flared.  "You're pregnant??"

They both grinned wide.  "Yes, we are..."  Rubbing their bellies together, they shared a kiss, not bothering to hide their growing erections from her.

"When??  When're they gonna hatch??"

The twins laughed together, almost exactly the same.  "Slow down, Cressie!"
"We're nowhere near that yet!"
"We haven't even laid them yet!"
"That's why we're pregnant!"

The younger girl moved over to nuzzle at their bellies, the twins teasing her by lightly smushing her face between themselves.  "So...is it just one egg in each of you?"

"We don't know yet."
"We only recently confirmed the pregnancy."
"They haven't grown enough for us to count them."
"But within a month we'll know."

She blinked at that.  "But..."  She glanced at the egg model, then brought it over and awkwardly stood on her little hind legs to hold it up against them, her wings and tail shifting for counterbalance.  "But!  It's so big!"

"That's how big the eggs will be when we finally do lay them."
"Eggs don't just magically pop up in the mother's belly that big."
"They have to grow."
"They start out real small."
"Smaller than you can see."
"Did mommy or daddy give you the sex talk yet about pregnancy?"
"Or anything about cells in lifeforms?"

She puffed her cheeks in annoyance.  "Yeah, yeah, buncha science junk.  Didn't talk about pregnancy yet...mommy gets real sad when that's brought up.  But they told me about cells 'n stuff.  It's boring."

"Well, if you wanna get pregnant later..."
"It's definitely not just 'science junk'."

Lapis went to their bedroom, the two following, watching her lean into a big trunk and start rummaging.  Cressa leaned to Lazuli and whispered "Did we interrupt you two mating?  Her pussy is swollen and wet..."

Lazuli tittered and nodded.  "Yes, but mine is too."  She lifted her tail and Cressa leaned back to look at her sister's dripping netherlips.  "Part of being pregnant...you get really horny.  A lot."

"So...which of you had a penis in the other?"

"I was inside her when you arrived."

"Sorry."

"No need to apologize!  We needed the break, we've been mating all morning."

Their sister turned back around with a book in one paw.  "I think this will help.  Visual aids are great."
"Oh!  I nearly forgot about that book!"

"What book is this?" Cressa asked with a small scrunch of her muzzle.  "More science?"

"Yes, but the fun kind."

THey laid the book on the central den table and Cressa stood up to look at it while Lapis turned the pages.  "This book is full of illustrations about your body, but what we want right now...is this."

"Yeah, males have a penis and testicles, females have a vagina and womb...so?"

"Uterus, actually, that's the proper term for it."
"See these two organs at the back?"
"Those are your ovaries."
"They make and store your ova.  Your eggs."

Cressa gazed down at her own belly, feeling at herself with her paw.  "Huh?"

"You can't feel them from out here."
"See this tiny dot here on the page?"
"That's how big an ova cell is."

She squinted.  "That...that can't be an egg."

"Why not?"

"Well...eggs have babies inside and babies are way bigger than that!"

They both giggled.  "This is how cells work."  She flipped through to another page describing cellular mitosis.  "Every cell contains strings of tiny codes that make you individually unique."
"And when an organism needs to grow..."
"These cells make copies of those codes, and then split."
"And then those two cells split again to make four, then eight, then sixteen, it doubles every time."

Cressa squinted at the diagram, then flipped the pages back to the diagram of a uterus and the ovaries, and the next page where it showed a sperm cell meeting an egg.  "But why does daddy's semen hafta go into mommy's yoo-ter-uss if there's already an egg there?"

"Because egg cells only have half of mommy's code."
"Daddy's sperm has the other half from his own code."

The young girl stared at the drawings for a while, thinking it over, then she glanced up at her twin sisters and stared at them.  They could practically see the gears turning behind her eyes.  "So...is...is that why you're twins?  Like you're two but the same?  You both came from the same egg?"

They both giggled and licked her again.  "Yes!"
"The same ova, in fact."
"And of course, the same egg too."

"Eggs and ova are different?"

"'Egg' is a loose term used for the ova cell, yes, but the egg we lay is a shell around the baby formed from the ova."
"Your uterus helps cover the baby in a shell to keep it from harm when it's time to lay the egg."

"So...when the daddy's semen cells meet the mommy's egg cells...the codes combine and make a new dragon?  And that cell splits and splits and splits and...until it makes a baby?"

"It doesn't just make a baby."
"When the sperm and ova combine, that IS the baby."
"It just needs to split and grow."
"So, you see that tiny dot?  Imagine it becoming more, and more, and more.  That's why it takes so long for pregnancy to show."
"It doesn't happen quickly.  It takes time."
"THe cells need food and energy."
"Your body will provide it for a while to form an egg yolk."
"That yellow part when mommy and daddy cook bird eggs."

Rubbing her head, she grunted while Lapis turned the page to a diagram of a baby dragon inside an egg, complete with a yolk sac.  "That doesn't look like a dragon..."

"Not yet."
"See these parts here?"
"It's growing different organs."
"Which then help make other chemicals..."
"That help other organs grow."

"But...where's its horns?"

"Those don't grow until after the baby hatches."  They laughed at her wide-eyed shock.  "Nope!"
"You didn't have horns until you were about a year out of the egg!"
"You were a smooth-headed little bald baby!"
"We all were, every Dragon."

She reached up and groped at her stubby little horns just starting to gain their individualizing features.  "That...makes no sense!"

"Sure it does.  If a baby grew horns in the egg..."
"It wouldn't be able to move around as much."
"It has to move to exercise the muscles."
"Imagine being cramped up in a curled position...again."

That brought up dark memories for all of them, of hiding during the Destroyer War.  "Ew...no..."

"Anyway.  It takes months for a baby dragon to grow to full size inside an egg."
"And from there...it's anyone's guess how long it'll take to hatch."
"You were actually born before we were."

"I was?!"

"Yep."
"Mom laid your egg three years before ours."
"You just didn't want to hatch."
"Little brat."

Cressa ducked away from the playful noogie gesture.  "Now that one doesn't make any sense."

"It really doesn't."
"Baby dragons stay in their eggs until..."
"Well..."
"Whenever they decide to hatch."
"No one knows why."

Cressa stared at the drawing of a male and female dragon in traditional mounting style, with little inset bubbles showing the prostate, the g-spot, and various others.  Lapis licked her neck.  "Getting horny?"

"Uh-huh..."  She lifted her tail and wiggled her hips, then moaned cutely as her older sister eased her slender shaft into her little tight slit.  "I missed mating with you two...daddy's penis is still too big to fit all the way in me..."

"C'mere."

She squealed softly as Lapis reached under her and held her to her belly, still sheath-deep in the young girl, then walked them over to the couch and laid down on her back with Cressa astride her.  "Mmmm...penis~" she churred, her twin sisters giggling at the eagerness in their little sibling as she started bouncing.  

"Wanna get another snack too?" Lazuli whispered as she raised a hind leg to show off her own throbbing length.  Cressa nodded with a huge grin and licked her lips, pausing her bouncing and clenching her tunnel tightly on Lapis's cock while she watched Lazuli position herself over them and present her slightly curved dick to the young one.  Licking her lips again, Cressa kissed her sister's tip, then leaned forward and slurped that tip into her throat.  Lapis slowly started humping up off the couch, thrusting her cock into Cressa's depths and subsequently stroking the young one's mouth on Lazuli's shaft, Cressa purring happily as she enjoyed the slutty indulgence of shared pleasure.

"Mmmmm...~" she churred, closing her eyes and clenching tightly again as she tried not to cum too early.  More purring surrounded her along with wet slurping noises, Cressa cracking an eye open to see Lapis leaning up to eat out Lazuli's pussy, the twins 69'ing around her while they both thrust slow and deep.  Lifting a paw, the younger girl cupped her sister's petite ballsack and fondled those feminine orbs, feeling Lazuli's cock throb harder in her mouth and throat.  

"Mmmph...Cressie...have you been practicing?"  She felt her little sister nod against her belly.  "Oooohhh you'll...mmm...have to tell me..."

"She's clenching so tight..."

"Mmm!!"  Quivering between them, the little dragoness gagged lightly and quaked as she came hard, her tight passage milking her sister's shaft while she gulped eagerly for a tasty drink from the other.  It didn't take much longer for the twins to finally unload, Lapis and Lazuli gasping and moaning into each others' slits as they filled their little sister.  She purred happily between them, imagining they were impregnating her.  Panting, Lazuli shakily withdrew from atop them, her cock slipping out of Cressa's mouth and letting her properly catch her breath.  Gasping once free of the length in her throat, she gave a hazy grin with glassy eyes as she basked in her afterglow, then giggled and purred as the twins shuffled themselves together so she was between them again, letting her stay seated on Lapis's cock for now as it softened within her.

"Felt good?"

"Soooo good..."

"Sooo who's the lucky guy you've been practicing oral with?~"

Cressa blushed and hid her face in her wings.  "Uhhh...w-well...he's um...a year older than me...name's Ampeirre..."

"Ooohh~?"  They both grinned slyly.  "Does our baby sister already have herself a boyfriend?"

"M-maybe?"

"And you've been sucking him off quite a bit then?"

She nodded quickly with a shy but proud grin.  "Every day!  His penis is kinda tingly too, feels great when we mate!  But he really really likes it when I rub his balls like I sometimes get to with daddy!  He just can't spurt his seed yet.  Says we're too young for that."

The twins nodded.  "Yeah, boys don't start ejaculating until they're about thirteen to fifteen."
"And you won't go into heat until then either."

"Is heat when your ovaries make an egg ready?"

"Yep."
"And it happens every two to three months, depending on the girl."
"So you have quite a bit of time still to have fun with your boyfriend."

"Aww...but I really wanna feel him spurt inside me..."

"Then I guess we'll need to make sure you're very well spurted in before you have to leave again."

She nodded, but looked at them sadly.  "I don't...wanna leave you though.  I wish mommy and daddy would just stay here."

The twins nuzzled and licked at her, tenting their wings around her.  "We know...we wish we could be together again."
"But mommy and daddy have a lot of important things to do for their job."
"And we have jobs here we can't perform while traveling like they do..."
"But we also can't legally be your guardians here either."
"Where did you meet Ampierre?  Where is he?"

The young one frowned sadly.  "We...He's...an orphan.  He's been traveling with us for four months now."

"Oh..."
"That's terrible..."
"Is he looking for a home?"

"I...don't really know.  He's with the guards right now.  He said his parents were in the Warfang defense.  I think he's looking for them...or for relatives."

Hugging their sister, the twins nuzzled at her more firmly.  "Well...if he doesn't have anyone after this..."
"He does have you, it sounds like."

"Yeah...but mommy and daddy don't seem very...happy about it.  I don't know why."

She squeaked as Lapis's retreating erection finally slipped out of her tight grasp, leaving her leaking on her sister's belly.  "I think we should talk about better things now."
"Yeah, c'mon, let's get to work.  Cressie, wanna help us?"

"With what?" she asked, then moaned as Lazuli leaned in and started to clean her up, dipping her tongue in the little one's cute little slit.

"Some modeling."
"We got some new fabrics you might like the feel of!"

"Mmmm...okay, but only if I get to have your penises in me again."

"Heh, you drive a 'hard' bargain, kid."
"I think we can work it out."
"Let's get some hydration and snacks."
"Gotta recover all that lost energy."

Like their parents had said, Cressa didn't last much longer.  While sitting at the table and snacking on berry jam on tarts, she practically passed right out, fighting so hard to stay awake but finally slumping over on Lazuli's side.  She didn't nap for very long though.  Perhaps half an hour after they'd nestled her in the den with some warm sheets and pillows, she yawned and stretched, then shuffled out to find her sisters measuring some lengths of a shimmering cloth.  "Think I fell asleep..." she mumbled with a bleary blink.

"You sure did."
"Nearly face-first in your jam tart."

"What're you doin'?" she asked as she put her paws up on the table to see.

"Working on a commission."
"Wedding gown."
"Cheetah girl."
"Wants it slim and less lacey."

Reaching out, Cressa grabbed a scrap and felt it with her paw pads.  "Oh!  That's so soft!"  She brought it to her face and nuzzled against it, her sisters giggling at the cuteness.  

"It's very soft."
"Perhaps we should make you a doll with it."
"Or maybe a pillow."
"But first..."

Finishing their cutting and pinning, they started to rapidly sew it together, the younger water girl staring in rapt fascination as her sisters worked so fluidly together.  Barely a word was spoken and yet they knew instinctively what the other needed.  It felt like mere moments, the dress quickly taking shape before her eyes and glimmering like it was covered in millions of tiny diamonds.  "Wow..." she whispered as they laid it out and sewed the sleeves on, then covered the seams with another white fabric, which they then connected to the elbow seams with decorative finer lace strips, Lapis sewing some small pearl beads to the loose strips while Lazuli ran a fine gold thread in a filigree pattern along the forearms.  Only now did Cressa realize that part of their speed was the girls finely weaving their water around the working threads and into the fabric, acting like a guide to place the threads exactly where they wanted.  

"Break time," they both said at once, leaning back and stretching their wings and tails.  Cressa stretched too, inadvertently lifting her tail.  Lazuli moved behind her and she squeaked and moaned as a slim, turgid length sank into her folds and slid into her depths.  

"That always feels so good..." she whimpered, humping back eagerly and squeezing tight.

Lazuli purred and nuzzled her as she started to slowly thrust, Cressa mewling cutely and pawing at the table.  Lapis giggled at the sight, then moved behind her sisters and mounted her twin, Lazuli moving her tail aside and churring as that familiar curved length entered her.  Together they moved expertly, not too fast, not too slow, hips sawing back and forth as they pleasured their baby sister and smiled at the cute noises of bliss from her.  "Mmmm...just think...soon you'll maybe have little nephews..."

"Mmmm...more penises in me?"

"If they want to!"

"I...I had a dream the other night...both of you got me pregnant, and daddy got you pregnant, and-" she cut off with a sharp gasp as she nearly climaxed, her snug nethers fluttering and tensing around Lazuli's length.  

"Mmmf- Ancestors I missed this cute little pussy..." Lazuli churred as she buried nearly the whole length in Cressa, making her moan out loudly and shudder.  

"She's still so tight~"
"She really is."
"I hope we have daughters as well as sons..."
"Mhm..."

"La...Laziii..." Cressa mewled out, then bucked hard with a squeal, wings flapping against her sister's belly over her as she came, her walls rippling tight and wet around her sister's length.  Lazuli hissed through her teeth and then shivered as she reached her peak, her pussy clenching on Lapis's shaft with each strong buck of her cock in the young girl.  That also set off her twin, Lapis gasping out and dribbling from her pussy while her cock surged in her twin's depths.  They stood there panting and moaning together, necking back and forth, but Cressa kept humping under Lazuli, thoroughly enjoying having her sister's hard shaft so deep in her even in afterglow.  "C-can you...keep mating me?  Please?  I don't wanna stop it's been so long without you two..."

"You...hff...are becoming quite the little cockslut, you know that?" Lazuli whispered, nibbling Cressa's neck playfully.

"Is that bad?"

"Mmm...depends.  If you get addicted to sex, yes."
"If you can't go without sex for a whole day, yes."
"If you're lifting your tail for anyone just to get relief, yes."
"But if you're enjoying the pleasure with family...probably not."

"Mmm..." she whimpered, still humping lightly and clenching herself, trying to keep that slender but long cock hard within her.  "I just...it feels so much better than daddy's tongue...I can't wait to get big enough so I can have his penis in me too!"

"Maybe abother year or two."

"That's what he said but that's so long!" She squeaked when Lazuli lifted her up and spun her gently on her shaft, the little dragoness squealing out in pleasure.  Laying on her back, she smirked as Lapis moved over them both.

"Then I guess we need to make sure you get enough penis fun to last you until you can stay here."  Holding Cressa's tail up, Lazuli grinned as Lapis aligned her growing erection.  The little girl whimpered in anticipation, then gasped out as that thin tip slipped into her rear, her twin sisters thrusting alternately to get her relaxed as inch after inch slowly disappeared into her tailhole, her little slit tensing and quivering on Lazuli's length.  

"Oooohhhh Lapi..." she whispered through gritted teeth.  It was quite uncomfortable, yet felt really good at the same time, especially with their sister's maleness throbbing and pulsing against the intrusion through her.

"Mph- damn she's tight...been way too long since we did this too..."

"I...I wanna feel you cum in me...please..." the little girl huffed out, then shivered when she felt Lapis's sheath against her stretched tailhole.

"There we go~ Fully inside..."

Lazuli purred and gave a teasing thrust.  "Mmm~ love feeling your balls on mine when we do this."

They traded thrusts, Lazuli holding Cressa steady, the young girl squirming and moaning and panting between them.  It didn't take much longer before she peaked again, crying out and gasping for breath as blissful pleasure wracked her small frame.  Pulling back a little further, Lapis grinned and dipped her hips a bit to tease her sack against her twin's slit, Lazuli moaning under her breath and giving a strong throb.  Cressa gave a shaky mewl, her eyes rolling back.  "Think she's gonna-" Lapis started, then gasped at the sudden tightness on her member as their little sister came even harder, her wings fluttering and her legs quaking and shivering as she erratically bucked in the throes of orgasm.  

"She's gonna sleep well tonight~"

It didn't take much longer for them to join her in their finishes, the twins kissing and purring, tails pumping lightly, Cressa churring in delight with the warm sensation in her core as they filled her again.  Unravelling slowly, Lazuli rolled over and carried their sibling under herself, still impaled onher shaft, over to their bathing chamber to clean up.  Cressa couldn't help some playful suckling and kissing on her sisters' balls while they rinsed each other off.

Some more work, a big dinner, and a round of Cressa sucking them both off at once, and sure enough she was out like a light, curled up on their bed with a warm fur blanket.  Their parents came back with a soft knock, Lapis closing their bedroom door so as not to disturb the little girl.

"Was she okay for you?" their mother asked.

"A doll as always."
"She had plenty of fun."
"She's out cold."
"Well, warm in bed, but still."

"Good, good..." their father rumbled and yawned.

"Cressa told us about her new friend."
"And that you two don't seem terribly happy about how they're..."
"Hitting it off together," they finished in tandem.

Their mother sighed and shook her head.  "It's less that they're hitting it off, and more about how...well, for lack of a better word, how slutty she is with him."

"With family it's one thing, but with a total stranger..." their father growled lightly.  

"How quickly did she start with him?"

"Barely a week and they were under each others' tails."

The girls traded a worried glance.  "That..."
"Is worrying, a bit."

"Indeed..."

The older water dragoness sighed sadly.  "He's shy and skittish...but seems somewhat manipulative.  Though...it's hard to tell if it's on purpose, or if it's a coping mechanism for how hard he's had it.  That is to say, I cannot tell if it's out of malice and manipulation, or just naievete."

"The mental damages of the war and its aftermath have left a lot of young Dragon orphans in dire straits...and no thanks to the elder ones who should have been protecting them but were instead more concerned with saving their own hides.  Much of this could have been lessened...should have been."

Lapis and Lazuli glanced at each other.  "Hmm."
"Hmmm..."

"What are you two thinking about?"

They canted their heads at exact opposing angles.
"What if we tested him?"

"...How do you mean?"

"You have the keys to our spare room now."
"Take Cressie with you and spend some time alone with her."
"Some fun time."
"Make it seem like you took off without him."
"We'll intercept him, bring him home."
"And see how he is without Cressie around."

Their parents glanced at each other with surprise and worry, but finally their father relented and nodded.  "Alright then.  He knows the general whereabouts, he separated from us not too far from your front door.  Electric type, gray stormy scales, blue lightning forks, gold on the insides of his wingskins, bright blue horns."

"Alright."
"We have the other key."
"We'll knock four times."
"He might test the doors looking for her."
"Don't answer if it's not four knocks."
"When we find him, we'll give six knocks to let you know."

"I don't like the idea..." their mother said softly, "but...I am worried about his potential manipulation or even mistreatment of our baby girl..."

"Mmm...well, to lighter topics on that note, what is this story you have to tell us?"

"Oh!  Right!  You said you're already pregnant??"

The twins giggled and nodded.  
"It's ah...well, we're still...y'know, impotent because we're herms."
"But you saw that notice that went out right?  About breeding?"
"We got to meet up with a Patriarch!"
"And he blessed us with pregnancy!"

"So that letter was true, there's a known Patriarch at long last?"

"Yep!"
"And oh, what a stud~"
"Sooo much cum!"
"The Matrons confirmed our pregnancy a week ago actually!"

"That's wonderful..."

"Mom...Cressa said you two have been avoiding pregnancy topics."
"Are you...empty-nesting again?"

Tenting his wing over his mate, their father huffed.  "We've...been trying for ages, you know.  We wanted to have more children but...between you two and your sister, it just hasn't been happening."

"You should go to the Silver Grotto Temple!"
"Yeah, the breeding program is already underway!"

"But I'm not in heat...I haven't been in heat for two years..."

"Doesn't matter."
"You'll still get pregnant."

Their parents looked at them in question.  "But...that's not possible, is it?"

Lazuli giggled.  "I hear one of the Matron triplets is already gravid from the Patriarch."
"They haven't been in heat for decades."

With a shaky sigh, their mother shook her head.  "Please...don't tease me with hope like this..."

Moving close, the twins nuzzled their mother.  "It's not a tease."
"We're serious."
"The breeding issue isn't a teasing matter."
"But...if you do get gravid..."
"Settle here with us?"
"Cressa wants us to be a family again."
"We want our new kids to have their relatives nearby."
"You're overworked...isn't it time to slow down?"

"Ancestors, I wish we could do that so easily..."

The older dragon nuzzled his daughters.  "We've been wanting so very much to come back and make a real home...but we have so many loose ends to tie up after the war.  It's just...not feasible.  And we can't delegate the responsibilities either."

"There has to be a way."
"The family unit is struggling."
"Cressa's unhappy."
"Maybe part of her eagerness for sex with Ampierre..."
"Is a comfort thing for her in the face of this instability she senses?"
"Maybe for him it's a comfort to have someone he can relate with in age and pleasure?"

Holding his wife's paw and hugging her with his wing, their father rumbled in thought.  "Hun...maybe they're right.  We did talk about the possibilities."

"I know...but...we can't just abandon everyone relying on us..."

"But we also can't be the only ones doing all this.  Not anymore.  We're not as young as we were.  And...you're sick of the travel."

"...I am, yes...but that still doesn't mean we can just drop everything, get me full of eggs at the Grotto and set up house in Warfang..."

"We'll figure something out.  I think now more than ever, we need to."

A knock on their door brought the twins to answer it.  A young boy, maybe eight or nine years, was standing there shivering lightly, his wings clenched to his sides.  Storm-gray scales were etched with electric blue lightning forks matching his horns.  "H-H-Hi...uh- um, is...do...um.  I'm l-l-looking for..."

"Awww...sweetie, are you lost?"
"Looking for someone?"

"C-Cressa...I-I was with her parents and we split up near here and n-n-now I can't- I can't..."  He looked ready to cry.

"Come on, you shouldn't be out in the cold."
"Want to come in and warm up?"

"B-b-but I d-d-don't...I shouldn't..."

"You need some warmth and some calm."
"We'll get you some food and help you find her, okay?"

He glanced down the streets nervously, paws pattering with indecision.  "I don't know you a-a-and my parents said not to enter houses I don't know..."

"That's very good advice."
"But, we're water types, and we can't help you much in this cold."
"You won't find her well when you're shivering this badly."
"Did you try the guard?"

He nodded and shivered again.  "Th-they said this circle b-b-but I d-d-didn't get a home number from her parents and...I..."

Lapis pouted and stepped out, lightly tenting her wing around him.  "Well, we can help you find them.  You said you separated from them here, right?  Or nearby?"

"Y-yeah..."

"You can stay with us here, and stay by the window and keep an eye out.  We'll even keep the door open a crack, alright?  But you can't stay out here forever, it's too cold for little ones like you."

Biting his lip, he finally relented and nodded.  Lazuli returned to the doorway all bundled up, but clearly shivering herself.  "I'll go down the way to the guardhouse and double-check...but I can't do much else right now."

"Alright, thanks.  I'll get him warmed up."  He followed her inside, albeit cautiously and with furtive glances.  Lapis tucked a doorstopper into the jamb to keep it from fully closing, then went around the corner with him.  "Window's right there, I'll be right back with some blankets."  He hopped up to the round windowsill and practically planted himself against the cold crystal surface, peering through in anticipation, still shivering.  He flinched with a little yelp when Lapis came back with a warm fluffy fur blanket.  "Easy!  Easy.  No one's here to hurt you."  Getting him bundled up in the fabric, she then got a plate of jam tarts for him to snack on, though he kept his eyes fixed out the window when she brought them back.  "So.  You were with...who?  Cressa and her parents?"

"Uh-huh..."

"Mmm.  They're pretty busy.  But, like I said, if you parted ways here, they're likely to turn up here again.  When you're lost, stay in place and wait.  The last spot they saw you is the first they'll check.  And, my sister is letting the guards know you're here, so if they go to the guards looking, they can then send them here."

"Uh-huh..." he repeated, but slower, his eyelids drooping a little.

"Want a snack?"

Shaking his head, he shifted his wings under the blanket to pull it closer.  "I jus...wanna be with Cressa again..."

"Ooohhh~?  Sounds like you've got a crush."  His eyes darted to her but a fierce blush darkened his muzzle and cheeks.  "Awww.  Got any future plans?  Don't worry, I won't tell."

He shrugged.  "W-we just...we just met four months ago.  Kinda...fast to make plans."

"Mmm, true.  Best to get to know someone for a while before you commit, hm?"

"I...guess so.  I wanna...I wanna find the rest of my family but...I-I...I really like her..." he mumbled, hiding his face.

"I can tell.  And smell."

"Huh?"

"You smell a bit like her and I can smell you're getting hard just thinking about her.  That's really sweet."

"Oh no..."

"Not a big deal, sweetie.  It's natural for you to get hard thinking about someone you like."  She craned over him to peer through the window too.  "Hm.  Hope she's okay out there.  Oh, there she is, alright."

"Huh?"

"My sister.  She's coming back."  Sitting a bit closer and picking up a tart, she chewed thoughtfully on it.  "Have you and Cressa had more fun together?"

He shyly nodded.  "Y-yeah...but I don't think her parents like it much..."

"Oh?"

"When we...started mating for fun...their smiles started to seem...strained."

"May I ask how all that started?  Maybe that's where it comes from?"

He blushed again.  "I...w-well...I was...having trouble...controlling m-my...my erections...and Cressa said if I wanted to paw off with her it was fine...a-and I saw her a few times playing with her dad's parts...so I asked her if she could do that with me too because it looked like it felt really good..."

"Did she?"

"Uh-huh...and it was...amazing..." he squeaked nervously.  "And...and after that...I don't remember much...just...lots of fun with her.  An' it just...it felt..."  He faltered and stumbled with some words but couldn't get the idea out.

"It felt right?  Like you belonged there with her, not just shared pleasure?"

"Ye...yeah.  But...now I'm confused because...I wanna...I wanna find my family but...I don't wanna leave her now either."

"You don't wanna leave her, huh?"  He flinched when the door shifted open and Lazuli came in quickly.  

"Brrrr that's brisk out there, ugh!  Hey, mind if I put another few in the fire?"

"Couldn't hurt," Lapis replied, sidelong watching the young boy re-settle after that jolt.  "If you don't wanna leave her...what would you do then?  What if you were able to stay with her?"

"....But why?  Why are you asking?"

"Well, I've known Cressa for a while, so I'm just curious about the boy who's interested in her!"

He sighed and leaned his head against the window, his eyes getting a little glassy with fatigue.  "I...dunno.  Probably marry her."

"Only probably?"

"We've only been together for four months."  He frowned.  "Saw my brother go through worse..."

"Ah.  Well, like I said, that's good to take it slow.  But, the hypothetical question is, if you had that kind of time with her together."

Shaking his head, he sighed again.  "I dunno...I kinda...feel like we might've started mating too quickly...I mean, it's real fun with her and I really like seeing her happy and smiling after, but...I don't...I don't wanna see her...regret it later, like my brother's girlfriends seemed to do."

Lapis and Lazuli traded a knowing grin behind his back.  "That's very mature of you.  I'm glad to see you thinking about her happiness.  You're already better than most other boys out there for it."

"I...I am?"

"Mhm...there are an awful lot of males out there only interested in their own pleasure, even if they say they care about their girl.  But over time...that selfishness shows itself, and girls will pick up on it.  Words and even actions can seem enticing...but truth comes out over time.  Shows who you really are."

A heavy sigh escaped him.  "But...I don't wanna...y'know...disappoint her by telling her I wanna...take it slower."

She nuzzled at him, and for once he didn't flinch.  "Talk to her.  A relationship is about communication...even if it's uncomfortable.  Don't hide important things out of fear.  Sure...it might be painful.  It may even start a fight.  But honesty is your best weapon and defense in life.  Besides, I'm sure she'll understand."

Lazuli came over with a hot sweet drink and offered it to him, but he shook his head.  "She's right, too.  We're married now, but...back when we were younger and crushing on each other...we hid a lot from each other.  And it nearly tore us apart.  And...we fought a lot over it.  The hidden things caused stress, we could tell, but that fear of causing pain was itself causing even worse things that we almost couldn't patch up.  If you want to be with Cressa, or really any girl out there...just be honest.  An honest girl will value you for it, even amidst the pain."

"If I ever see her again..." he whined.

"You will, hun.  If you're tired, go ahead and take a nap.  We'll keep an eye out for them."

He tried to fight his body to stay awake in stubbornness, but within minutes he was snoring lightly.  Lapis quietly slipped out to go knock on the door four times.  The door creaked open and her mother appeared looking exhausted but satisfied for once, the sound of happy moaning behind her making the watery dragoness smirk.  "I take it dad's pleasing Cressie?"

"He might run out of tongue with how insatiable she is."

Slipping into the room, Lapis sighed softly.  "So...I've been talking with him.  I don't think you need to worry about the manipulation aspect."

"Oh?"

"It may actually be more on Cressa's high libido.  He says he really likes her and might even want to marry her...but he's also more realistic than that, he's aware that they got into mating rather quickly, and even wants to slow it down and take it slower with her...but he's quite conscious of her and doesn't want to hurt or disappoint her with that request, so he's struggling."

"I see...that's good.  Very good."

"Mhm.  I think he wants to figure himself out.  He's torn between finding and staying with extended family, or...staying with her.  And of course it's not that black and white, but that's his concern right now.  Probably why he's still giving in to her temptations, the sexual pleasure is a pretty good distraction."

"Oh don't I know it..."

"But, yeah.  That's where we stand right now.  He does care about her and he has a pretty big crush on her.  He wants to be more responsible about it, so...they're gonna have to talk it out."

"Right.  Well...that's good, I just hope Cressie can be mature about it too."  Nuzzling her daughter, the older water femme gave her a slow lick on the neck.  "Thank you, hun...that helps put my mind at so much more ease now.  Should we...pick him up?"

"He just conked out from exhaustion so...you might have some more time.  But he hasn't eaten or had anything to drink either so..."

"Alright.  I'll get them to finish up and we'll be over."

Ampierre snapped awake with a small gasp when something nudged him.  "Hey, it's me!" Cressa chirped, licking his cheek.  He blinked bearily in surprise and glanced around to find he was still wrapped up in the fur blanket, but had been moved to a lounge couch.  Cressa grinned when he looked up at her again.  "Have a good nap?"

"Mmm..." he groaned, shifting a little.  He felt so completely relaxed it was hard to move, his limbs shaking against his command.  "Hey..."  He could hear her parents in another room conversing with Lapis and Lazuli.  "Didn't mean to fall asleep..."

"Looks like you needed it," she whispered, nuzzling his cheek.  "I was...getting worried."

"Sorry..."  Shifting up, he slowly wiggled free of the warm wrap.  "Cressie...I..."

"Want something to eat?" she offered, pointing with her wing to a plate of steak cuts on the table.

"...Mmm...that does smell good..."  He followed her over to the table and plated himself a cut of meat, Cressa grabbing one too and sitting next to him.  His tail laid over hers, but not the curl she expected.

"Something wrong?  You seem...kinda down."

He didn't reply for a bit as he chewed on his bite of meat, but when he finished he sighed and looked at her, blushing a little and fumbling for words.  "Cressie...I...you're...I mean..."  Clearing his throat, he looked away.  "It's so hard to say it..."

Her wings tensed.  "Is...something wrong?"

"I...don't know."  Clenching his paws, he took a deep breath and then turned more fully to her.  "I wanna go slower with you."

She froze at that, the chatter in the next room quieting.  "What...do you mean?"

"I...I like you.  I really do.  I...I might even...wanna marry you when we're old enough."  Her eyes widened and her heart fluttered.  "But...as much fun as we've been having together...I...I kinda feel like...we're going too fast, yknow?  We only met four months ago."

"So...what does that mean?  We're...not dating?"

"Mmmm...I don't...I don't know.  I like you.  A lot.  A whole lot.  But...well, I do still wanna be your boyfriend, but at the same time I...feel like I need to figure myself out.  I don't know if I'm gonna stay with family...if I ever find them...or what I'm gonna do if I can't find them.  I...don't have anywhere else to go, and I don't feel right clinging to you and your parents.  I wanna be with you but...I don't...have anything else to go on...I dunno how to word it.  And...the mating has been...well..."  He blushed and she giggled shyly.  "It's been the best thing ever...with you...but I feel like we're doing it too much.  I know you're really sexual, and I...I went with it because it felt so good and seeing you so happy made me happy too but...for you the sex is okay with the frequency, for me...I feel like I wanna slow down and get to know each other more without just...all the fun.  I didn't wanna disappoint you and say I don't wanna have sex, 'cuz I do still want to with you...just...not as much, y'know?  Not right now, anyway...ugh, this is so hard..."

She stared at her plate as she thought it over with a small frown, Ampierre feeling like his chest was tightening in dread.  "I...guess I get it.  Did...did I push you into it too fast?  But I thought you wanted the sex, you...kinda kept asking if I was up for it, which I totally am too but..."

"I...don't know.  I mean...I don't regret it, if that helps?  That first night we explored each other...was really the first night I enjoyed myself since...well... And seeing you so happy...it did things to me.  Things I...really liked...and want more of."

A sad smile reversed her frown and she nodded.  "Heh...yeah, I get it.  I'm sorry...the sex drive runs hard in us water dragons it seems.  Or so daddy tells me.  I...really do like mating with you.  I have really good sex with my sisters too, but...it just feels...more right? doing it with you?"

Their eyes locked and he fumbled some words, and she giggled and tried to say something but fumbled too, then he shook his head to try to focus again.  "I just...I wanna make you happy.  I don't wanna be a burnout like my brother...was."

"What do you mean?"

"He'd have a new girlfriend almost every week, and he'd tell her he valued her, loved her...but she would always end up yelling and angry and sad.  He was...kinda selfish, but I didn't really get to see how bad it was.  But I don't wanna be that."

"But...you don't know where to go either...right?"

"No.  I don't.  I wanna...know if I still have family somewhere...but I don't wanna...y'know...lose you either."

"Well, I mean, that's easy.  If you have family here in Warfang, then stay here!  I go with mommy and daddy because they're my guardians until I'm older, but...I do live here, y'know.  My sisters live here too."

"Your...sisters?  Where are they?"

"The next room, silly!"

His eyes widened and he looked up to see Lapis and Lazuli peeking at them around the doorway, the twins winking at him and then giggling as they went back into the room.  Looking back at Cressa, he groaned and facepawed.

"So I just happened to come across your sisters while looking for you?"

"Seems so, but I wouldn't say it's just a happening.  After all, mom and dad did separate from you just outside.  They dropped me off here with them after you left, so they could go do their business stuff."

"I...see.  I was in such a hurry I forgot to figure out where to meet back up...or when...and I thought going into a stranger's house would be so awkward...maybe even...dangerous..."

"What, you thought my sisters were gonna bake you into a cake or something?"

"I didn't know what to think.  But I've heard...stories..."

She held his paw.  "Maybe in other towns...but Warfang is the city of dragons.  If a young dragon went missing here of all places...the guards would tear every house apart searching.  We're safe here.  S'why I wanna stay here with my sisters if I could...and maybe you can find someone to home with maybe?"

"I...guess...?"  He sighed and clenched his paws again.  "But...we're kinda dancing around...the big problem.  Are you...okay with us slowing down a bit?"

Her smile turned a bit sadder, but she nodded.  "Yeah...I really like mating with you and I...I can't get it out of my head, I just...wanna feel you mounting me any chance we get...but if you wanna slow down, maybe I should too."

He nuzzled her and she leaned on him.  "Yeah...thanks...I'm not saying no sex at all, just...not quite as much.  After all...it does feel better when it takes longer between, right?"

"Mmm...true."  She blushed and nuzzled him again.  "Do you...mind if I still have sex wth my sisters?"

"Well...we're not exactly...y'know...exclusive yet...if that's what you'd wanna do..."

"Yeah...maybe.  I just know that some aren't fond of the incest bit.  But...I do really like having their penises in me too."

He blinked at that.  "Wait...what?  But they're...your sisters, aren't they?"

"They're both herms."

"...Wait, so...that's...that's a real thing?!"

She sat upright with her laughter.  "Yes!  I mean, they can show you if you want!"

He shook his head rapidly.  "N-no I'm- I'm good, that's alright, no need-"

"You're funny."  She licked his cheek and leaned on him again.  "I like you too, Ampierre...an awful lot..."

He hugged her with his wing.  "I just...I hope I'm not sounding too selfish or something but...I just...like...just in case we...y'know...don't work out ultimately...I still wanna be friends.  I'm not...not saying we're gonna break up but...if that does happen I don't want it to be screaming and sadness.  And...we're still kids...anything could happen so..."

"I know.  I guess I just didn't wanna think about it but..."

Silence fell between them, the soft murmur of chatter in the other room occupying their thoughts for a bit before he nuzzled her again.  "But...I...wouldn't mind a go with you right now if you wanna...it's been a bit already too..."

Cressa giggled and nodded against him, her tail shifting.  He moved with her, awkwardly mounting her against the table and giving small thrusts of his hips as he searched under her tail for her slit.  Reaching down under herself she let his cock slip between her toes a few times, then guided him into her pussy, both of them biting back a moan of bliss as he sank into her tight little cunny.  "Yesssss..." she hissed against her lips, pressing back as he grabbed her hips and started rapidly thrusting into her.  Resting her head on the table she watched under herself as his immature little sack bobbed under her pussy with his thrusts, licking her lips in the vain hope that this time he might start spurting into her.  She purred and nuzzled back blindly against him as he licked her neck and nibbled along her spine.  "Oooohhh that feels so goood..." she churred, clenching herself tight on his small cock.

"C-Cressie..." he whimpered, slowing down and throbbing hard, right on the cusp of his climax already.  Reaching under her, he pawed at her tiny love button, the water girl under him nearly collapsing onto the floor at her legs shaking from the sudden intensity.  Panting and gripping the table, she gritted her teeth and then gasped out, bucking against him and flapping her wings on either side of him, her body seizing up repeatedly with the pleasure crashing through her.  He wasn't much longer in following, gripping her hips and jackhammering into her, soft slaps of his hips against her tail and butt until he hunched over her and quivered, his tail flagging against the floor with each dry throb of his shaft in her loins.  Panting and purring in their afterglow, she closed her eyes and smiled when he started to groom her scales along her neck.  "Mmm..."

"Mmm~" she purred back, curling her tail around his hips.  "So good..."

Dismounting slowly, he blushed and ducked under her tail to kiss her slit, making her flinch and giggle.  "I'm beat...I dunno why but I'm just...really tired."

She turned around and nearly stumbled with an embarrassed squeak, her legs still a bit weak from her climax, then she leaned on him with a shy giggle.  "Sorry...didn't mean to knock you over..."

"Almost did."

"Any idea why you're so tired though?  You feeling okay?"

He smiled sleepily and yawned, then nodded.  "Yeah...actually.  I...I'm glad we talked this out.  Feels...weirdly light in my chest now."

"That's called 'relief'," Lazuli whisper-called from the doorway, the two young lovebirds flinching with flared wings in shock.

"Go away Lazi we're having a moment!" Cressa yelped, but her sister was already laughing in the other room, the other adults joining her.  Blushing and eyeing each other awkwardly, she licked his cheek, Ampierre returning the gesture but then yawning again, quickly hiding his face in his wing to cover it.  

"Sorry...I feel like I could sleep for a week..."

"Well...we're here for a while.  No rushing to get anywhere...and no fighting for scraps.  Hopefully ever again."

"That feels...strange to think about.  Like, I remember life before the war, a little bit, but...it's been so long."

"Get your sleep tonight and maybe tomorrow we can dress warmer and go play in the snow!"  She grinned, then blushed again and looked down shyly.  "Can I uh...still...y'know...kiss your balls?  I like the way your balls feel on my tongue..."

He blushed too but nodded.  "Yeah...I like it when you do that."

In the other room, Lapis churred, curling her tail over her father's hips while he slowly thrust into her.  "Sounds like they figured it out."

"Good..." their mother moaned softly under Lazuli.  "But now the real test of sticking to the decision."
