That’s not a mud bath

“So Ms. Tabitha, are you ready for the best spa day of your life?”  May asked as she walked up to the horse mother, smiling as she did.  “This place has it all.”

“Right now,” the equine woman said with a hint of irritation in her voice, “I’m ready for just about anything as long as it does not involve dealing with my children in any way. I swear to God I need a break from this shit.”

“Well this is it.”  May said smiling and opening the door.  “I’m treating us to the works….the whole nine yards and all.  Mud baths, hot stone massages…..happy endings…”  She said with a little snicker.

“That sounds wonderful,” Tabitha replied walking past the merret and into the spa. “I have to give Randy credit this time, he chose a girl that doesn’t seem to be a stuck up, arrogant, gold digging whore.”

“Na, I don’t need money or anything like that.”  The merrett said as she followed in and up to the counter.  “I’m just happy that I found someone like him, someone that isn’t after me for the family’s money or business secrets.”  She said as she looked at the worker.  “Appointment for Kaylock.”  She said as she watched the worker scribble something down and motioned for them to head on back to the waiting area.

“Randy has always been very independant,” Tabby said as she followed the merret. “Even before he was who he is now. I used to think it was just being headstrong and defiant, but he’s proven me wrong. Of all my children he and his brother Zeus are the two I  worry about least. They both have bright futures ahead of them and a plan of how to get to where they want to be.”

“And that is one of the things that I find the most attractive about him.”  The merrett said as she leaned back in the plush chair.  “I have an idea as to what I want from my life….I just haven’t gotten started on it.”  She said glancing over to the mother before the two heard a worker calling them over to the changing/shower room.

“Now that sounds like Randy’s brother Zeus,” the horse woman said as they entered another room of the spa area. “Randy got started on his path nearly the moment he started middle school. His brother will be graduating high school this year and he’s just getting started on his dreams. Though from what he and his girlfriend… fiancee… wife to be damn it, shit this thing with them went fast,” the equine woman said shaking her head slowly.

“It will all fly by fast and then we will be sitting back laughing at the memories and all of that.”  The merrett said as she stepped into one of the stalls and started getting undressed.  “As for me….I have known what I wanted to do, I just haven’t started on it...well….not settled down and started on it I should say.  I mean I take a lot of photos and read a lot about the ways to do it, I just haven’t opened my own place.”  She said as she stepped out of the stall, wrapped up in a fluffy towel.

“So what exactly is it you plan to do?” Tabitha asked stepping into the stall next to the one the merret occupied. “Stepping out a few moments later wrapped in a towel and stretching languidly as she did so.

“Photographer.”  The merrett said as she started heading into the room with the mud baths.  “I have been taking photos for several years, it’s been a passion for me for a loooooong time.”  She said as she dropped her towel and started wiggling into the mud.

Unwrapping the towel from her body, taking the time to fold it before dropping it to the floor Tabitha said, “a photographer huh? That sounds like it could involve a lot of traveling, which I doubt Randy would mind in the least. You know, with his pursuit of a business degree that would make the two of you quite the pair.”

“He and I were talking about that the other night.”  She said smiling as she leaned her head back on the little rubber pillow.  “Something along the line of me taking all the photos and all that, and him handling the money and all that.”  She said snickering.  “I like math and numbers, but not that much.”

“God he does,” Tabby said rolling her eyes as she sank into the mud bath across from the merret. “There have been advantages though since he began pursuing his career path. For the last few years he’s saved us a ton of money on our taxes with simple little things we were doing wrong in our filings.”

“Hehe, dad seemed to sense that in him.”  The merrett said with a little snicker.  “I mean he offered him an internship for his company.”  She said as she glanced over to the mother.  “And that’s something that my dad doesn’t do…..ever…..he likes Randy….and that it something that kinda surprised me.  My dad has hated every guy that I have dated….so that’s saying something about how awesome your son is.”

Leaning back, her head resting on the small pillow she stared up at the ceiling as she asked, “so how much about himself has my son told you? I ,mean it seems like things are going well between you two… “

“Well…..a lot.  He told me a little about what was going on in the family, the wedding and all.  Talked about things he liked, his aspirations…..things like that….first date things….why is there something that I need to know?”  She said turning her head to look at the mother.

“Yes there is,” the equine woman said lowering her gaze and locking eyes with the slender girl across from her. “My son used to be my daughter, he’s transgendered and if that is a problem for you he needs to know it now. He’s been hurt enough by princesses that think he’s all hot and studly then find out he’s not. To be quite frank and honest with you May… I’m more tired of the shit he’s been put through because of it than he is.”

“Oh…..is that all…..I thought that you were going to tell me something really bad.”  She said with a little snicker.  “But, yeah, he told me that…..and like I told him, I don’t care what’s in his pants…..I like him, for him…..not a cock or lack there of.”

“That is good to hear… and not nearly as much as he deserves with everything he’s been through over the last few years. He’s been put through hell just because he was born in the wrong body and is trying to rectify that situation.”

“I can imagine, one of my best friends back home is going through the same, just backwards.  I can’t tell you the many, long nights that I have had talking to her, cheering her up and all that…..and I wouldn’t dream of hurting that sweetheart of a son of your’s.  He’s been one of the few guys that didn’t want, in my pants, my money, or to get close to dad.”

“He is a sweetheart,” Tabitha said looking around the room, making certain they were alone. Seeing that they were she looked the merret squarely in the eye as she said, “the way he has been mistreated by the other girls he has tried to date… I want to hunt those bitches down and rip their black hearts from their chests and stomp them to dust.”

“Well you don’t have to worry about adding me to that list.  That’s the last thing that I would even think of doing to him.”  The merrett said looking a little worried.  “Though I don’t blame you for wanting to do something like that.”

“The last one led him on for weeks only to break his heart,” the older equine woman said, her expression unchanged as she spoke. “Even worse, she then proceeded to berate him as less than a fur because of his choice to become the young man he knows he is. She’s a small minded, arrogant, uptight shrew and I’ll tell you now that anyone ever treats him like that again and the law will not save them from a mother’s wrath.”

“Yeah, she sounds like a card carrying bitch.”  May said shaking her head a little.  “It’s a good thing that I wasn’t around then…..I’d have jumped on her….and yeah….kick boxing classes come in handy for many things other than staying in shape.”

“As long as you stay as sweet as you seem, and treat my son right we won’t have any issues,” the mother horse said with a slight chuckle. “When it comes to Randy all I want for him is to be happy and find a girl that can accept him for who he is, not be more concerned with who he was.

“I’m sure that he knows that I accept him for who he is and there is nothing that is going to change that.”  May said smiling.  “And as for his happiness and all that too, yeah, I’m going to make sure that happens too.”  She said smiling to the mother horse.

Leaning back in the mud bath, resting her head on the pillow again she replied, “and I will grant you the chance to prove that May, treat him right and don’t break his heart and you’re going to be just fine in my book.”

“Don’t worry Ms. Tabby, I got this.”  She said with a little snicker as she laid back, sinking a little more into the mud.  “And as for the wedding and all.”  She started with a little snicker.  “My mom and dad will handle all of that for y’all.”

“We’ll see if it gets that far,” the equine woman mumbled as she seemed to finally fully relax.  “For now I’m just happy that my son has taken up with a young lady, instead of those whore ass sluts that keep luring him in and treating him like trash when they find out the truth.”

“Sounds like a plan to me.  Cause today is about being pampered and taken care of and all that.”  The merrett said smiling over to the mother pony.  “You ready for a nice hot stone massage.”

“You do know that you don’t have to kiss up to me to get to my son right?” Tabitha said nodding, “and yes I most certainly am.”

“I know that…..Spa days are just more fun when you have someone here with you.”  She said smiling as she started wiggling out of the mud bath that she was in, the stuff kinda clinging to her fur.  “Reminds me of when I was a kid and we would go mud diving.”  She said as she scooped up her towel and started to the showers in the corner of the room.

“As long as we are clear on that… not that the break from the family madness isn’t welcome,” the mother horse said prying herself free of the mud bath. Grabbing her towel and following the merret towards the showers Tabitha added, “I only hope that someday Randy can find the same happiness his brother has.”

“Well, I will just have to make sure that I do all that I can to make that happened.”  She said as she started rising the mud from her fur.  “Ever get a hot stone massage?”

“So sweetie…..what do you say to hitting the pool?  Get out in the sun and have some fun?”  Hana asked smiling and licking her lips, looking to her lover.

“Us…. go out in public….oh God yes, before you wear me out sweet lips,” the equine boy said with a smirk on his lips. “Then again…. unless you lay out and dry your fur it could be interesting drying you off after a swim .”

“Hehe I warned you that I might wear you out.”  She said smiling and snickering a little.  “And you must want to see me as a real furball.”  Hana said winking.  “Oh…..I got you something the other day….I think that you might like it.”  She said pointing to the small bag that was sitting in the chair in the corner of the room.

With one eyebrow raised Zeus picked up the tiny paper container, cocking his head to the side as he said, “ummmmm. Hana honey… what did you…” his voice trailing off as he peeked inside the bag. “What the….. are you crazy? If I put that thing on they’ll toss me in the brig… or maybe overboard.”

“Oh come on, I’m sure that with a little work you can get wiggled into it…..ok a lot of work.”  She said smiling and snickering.  “Well, I got me one too….Then again I think that we might both like it.”  She said slipping into the bathroom and closing the door behind her.

“I’m more worried about what might wiggle it’s way back out more than anything,” the palomino boy said shaking his head slowly as he began to strip down.

“Well I’m sure that I can find some tape and we can tape it to you or something.”  She said laughing.  The door to the bathroom sliding open as she stepped out, dressed in a classic Japanese school, one piece bathing suit, light blue and standing out in the sea of her darker fur, with a little ruffle around her waist.  “It still fits.”

“Ooohhhh… that’s so cute…” the equine boy said. A few moments passed before his eyes went wide and he stammered, “Wait… still fits? how long has it been since you tried it on?”

“A few years…...We got it back on holiday when I was like ten or eleven.”  Hana said smiling and doing a little spin showing off her backside in the tight little bathing suit.  “This is pretty much what they were in high school for like swim teams and all that.”

“Oh, okay that makes sense… I guess. But, ummmm sweetie about this…” he said turning his attention back to the small bag in his paws. “I’m not so sure I could wiggle into this with a pry bar and vaseline.”

“I know that silly….it was a joke gift…..unless you want to try and slip it on for me later….a little private show.”  She said smiling and snickering a little as she reached behind the chair and pulled out another bigger bag.  “I think that you will like this one more.”  In the bag was a bathing suit that was more fitting for her soon to be husband, long shorts in a light color to match Hana’s with floral like tribal patterns going up the sides.

“Well, at least I won’t have to worry about anything… falling out with that one,” Zeus said grinning at his soon to be bride. “Now as far as modeling the other one just for you, I think I can handle that. Question is can you handle wearing what I got you as a joke gift for later…” he added laying a tiny little square of seemingly empty folded paper on the corner of the table as he headed into the bathroom to change.

Curiosity got the better of the pup as she reached over and scooped up the paper, unfolding it and blushing at the sight of the contents.  “Damn sweetie…..You talk about you having something fall out…..I don’t know if I can get this on with all the fluff I got.”  She said holding up the little stip of fabric that was the panties of the little plaid bra, panties and little tie set.

Walking back into the room and taking his lover in his arms the palomino boy whispered in her ear, “well I did say for me, not for anyone else.”

“True.”  She said pressing close to her lover.  “You know….we are pervs…...but I still love you.”  She said reaching down and sneaking in a  little fondle of her lover’s butt.  “So….shall we hit the pool….”  She said taking her lover’s hand.

“Sounds like a great idea to me sweet lips,” the equine boy said following his lover out of the door. Once out in the hallway he pulled her back to himself, wrapping her up in his arms and pressing her against the wall as he said, “as far as us being pervs…. we’re just getting started my sexy little ball of fluff.”

Zeus blushed brightly in his ears at the gawks and stares he and his puppy girlfriend got as they strode across the pool deck. He knew that their difference in age was made all the more apparent by their height difference. More than once he had overheard snarky comments made behind their backs about him robbing the cradle. Not that the little Japanese school swimsuit made the puppy girl look any closer to her true age, or that the knowledge of that number would make the staring any less either. Pulling her closer and wrapping her in his arms the palomino boy whispered, “we’re being stared at again.”

Looking up to her lover, the puppy smiled and licked her lips.  “Well then, I think that it’s time that we do something that aunt Shanoa taught me.”  She said, without a second thought Hana’s hand shot up and came to rest on the back of her lover’s head, pulling him down into a kiss, her other hand slipping around grabbing a handful of her lover’s rump, and to put the icing on the cake, she kicked one leg up and nearly wrapped it around him.

The horse boys breath caught in his throat for a moment, stunned by his lover's sudden and remarkably bold move in such a public place. Any reservations or concerns quickly evaporating as the warm press of her body against his and the soft lips locked to his drove pretty much all other thoughts from his mind. Recovering slightly, though drawn in even deeper by the paw squeezing his rump he leaned down more, wrapping one arm around the puppy girl as his paw cupped her cute little ass. Moaning softly into her muzzle he lifter her up, her soft fluffy fur brushing over the fabric of his trunks and teasing his rapidly expanding cock. He hoisted her up to his chest, wrapping his other arm around her as her groin rested just atop the flared head of his nearly fully erect shaft, which was impressively tenting his swim trunks.

“You know.”  Hana said smiling and breaking the kiss.  “I think that someone wants to really show off.”  She said starting to wiggle her hips, her tail laying limply against him, brushing and teasing him a little more.  “Though this would be a hell of a way to get kicked off the pool deck…...But I know that Shanoa would be proud.”  Hana said leaning in and starting to nip at her lover’s neck and shoulder, looking out at the people that were looking at them, nearly giving them the ‘this is all mine, don’t hate.’ look.

Zeus let out an appreciative little whinny as his lover began to nip at his neck and shoulder, shivering at the far less than appropriate thoughts that sprang to his mind. Pressing the raccoon dog girl harder against his now throbbing member he started walking, “show off yes, give them a free show not so much,” he said barely a moment before stepping off into the pool, the two of them quickly being submerged to his waist. “Though that doesn't mean I’m against teasing my little fluff ball a little more first.”

“Awwwww. And I wanted to try something fun….just think of the story that we could have told the kids.”  She said smiling as she held onto her lover, murring at the feeling of his body close to her’s and the cool water that was surrounding them.  “There was this time that me and your daddy got a little…..naughty at the public pool….and well we ended up getting kicked off of it….something along the lines of indecent exposure or something like that.”

“Well it looks like I won’t have to bribe the captain to look the other way on this.”  A voice called out.  “I was almost sure that you two were about to start fucking like minks in heat.”  She said kneeling down at the side of the pool.  The catwolf dressed in a skimpy bathing suit that nearly rivaled her nieces, a sky blue top that just cover the hybrid’s chest, the matching sky blue bikini that was just about an inch away from being a thong, all topped off with a bit of see through silk that was wrapped around her waist.

“Al… almost,” the palomino boy said in a hushed voice, not taking his eyes off his lover’s. “If there hadn't been so many other furs here…. I’m not so sure we wouldn't have.” FInally prying his gaze from Hana’s beautiful green eyes for a moment he glanced over to the catwolf and added, “she’s going to get me into so much trouble one of these days… and I just know there is no way I can stop myself.”

“And I didn’t hear you complaining about it.”  Shanoa said smiling and snickering a little bit.  “Annnnyway…..I came to tell you two something.  There is never anyone around at midnight here….and I think that I might have misplaced the card key in your room.”  She said with a snicker.  “And one more thing…..Chou and I need to talk to you two, we got you a little something and we have something of importance to tell you about…..Something that has come up with…..medication.”  She said as she stood up.  “Meet us at the Saltwater Cafe for breakfast.”  She said as she took a step to the side and in a graceful flash of fur, she jumped into the pool and started swimming off to the other end, looking like a large redish sea snake under the water.

Zeus had been happily nuzzling into his lover’s neck, giggling to himself at the quiet panting and murring escaping her muzzle as she leaned her head against his. He froze suddenly, both paws stopping the rather intense groping of his girlfriends shapely ass as her aunt's words registered in his mind. “They… have something for us…. should, should I be worried…. wait what did she mean something about medication?”

“Well knowing them two, the thing that they have for us is prolly a gift...something for before the wedding….I think.”  Hana said pausing as she looked up in time to see Shanoa climbing out of the pool and slipping off into the crowd of people.  “And as for the medication…..I have no idea…..the only medication that I’m on now is the birth control…..I did take a few of the dramamine when we first got on the ship, so maybe that?”  She said tilting her head a little bit.

Zeus thought about the puppy girls answer for a moment before his paws started to grope her backside again. Shaking his head a little he said, “well I guess we’ll find out at breakfast anyway so not much use in worrying about it now.”  Squatting down a bit in the water, his paws going to the puppy girls waist and pressing her groin tightly against the raging boner in his trunks he added, “though I don't think I can get out of this pool just yet without maybe showing off a bit more than my puppy lover wants me to.”

“Well you know that there is a wall of the pool right behind me….and I’m sure that with just a little wiggle, I can slide under the water and take care of it…..I can hold my breath for a while.”  She said giving her lover a wink and a little flicker of her tongue.

“You really are going to get me into a shit storm of trouble one of these days sexy pup,” he replied as he walked them into deeper water before moving them over to the edge of the pool. Pressing his lover against the wall he looked deeply into her eyes as he leaned closer and whispered to her, “you have no idea how tempting it is to pin you to this wall and just take you here and now sweet lips….”

“Oooooooh I know……..And it’s tempting to tease you to that point.”  Hana said smiling and snickering a little bit.  “Though I think mom would kill us…..Shanoa would be proud till she had to start bribing people.”

“This is why you two need to bring a towel.  And yes I would kill you two.”  Another familiar voice spoke up, causing the two to look up and see Chou standing there with a pair of towels in her hands.  “Here…..go to the changing rooms and get that fixed….oh...and Shanoa and I want you two to come to breakfast in the morning.”

“We know...she said that you two had something for us and something about the medication.”  Hana said looking up to her mother.

“We do have a little gift for you and something to tell you about that….Shanoa will be the one that does all that, she is the doctor after all, she can explain it better than me.”  Chou said smiling as she sat the towels on the edge of the pool.  “See you two then.”  She said as she slipped away, heading off to the bar.

“Okay…. that was weird kind of,” the horse boy said shaking his head slowly as he watched the older raccoon dog slip off into the crowd. “Did she actually just all but tell us to go to the changing rooms and fuck?” he asked his lover as he hoisted her up and onto the side of the pool.

“Well it’s mom….she’s related to Shanoa….so it slips out sometimes….I have done it a few times.”  Hana said snickering as she opened her legs just a little bit.  “Like right now….I’m pulling a Shanoa.”

“Damn it Hana,” the palomino said with a little huff, suddenly finding himself inadvertently staring at his lover’s crotch, the faint scent of her arousal assaulting his nostrils and bringing a broad smile to his face. “Fuck…. changing rooms it is,” he added quickly leaning in and planting a kiss on the puppy girls nether lips through the wet cloth of her swimsuit. He looked up into her eyes quickly and said, “we’re not going to make it back to our room and I don’t think the hallway is anywhere to get caught making love to my hot girlfriend.”

“If we’re going to do something like that I think that I would rather get caught right here.”  She said smiling down to her lover, spreading her legs just a little more.  “That way they can see just how amazing of a lover and husband I have.”  She said leaning in and planting a kiss on his forehead.  “That and from what Shanoa said….this place is empty at night.”

“Yea but…” he replied moving to the side a little and nearly jumping out of the water beside his lover. Grabbing one of the towels and quickly wrapping it around his waist before he stood up he held out his paw to the puppy girl and added, “that’s all well and good for later… right now I want you so bad that unless you’re totally serious we better get to that changing room really fast.”

Leaning back down closer and speaking in a hushed tone he said, “we can come back tonight and do anything you want to, but right now I need to take care of something so I can walk straight without embarrassing the hell out of myself. I can do that with or without you.”

“Well we don’t want you to blush too much.”  She said standing up and scooping up the other towel and wrapping it around her waist.  “Well if some strong pony wants to carry me….I can let the towel hang down and help cover that little…..err big problem of your’s.”

Zeus let out a soft whicker as he pulled his lover into his arms and lifted her up. Holding her tightly to his chest while she wrapped her legs around his waist he panted slightly. “You…. oh God I’m so going to make you rethink that idea.” Once she was settled, the soaked crotch of her swim suit pressed hard against his throbbing member he slipped a paw between them. His actions hidden by their closeness and the towel around the puppy girls waist his nimble fingers sought out and pushed aside the thin material covering her nethers. His thumb hooked into the top of his trunks and pulled down sharply partially releasing his now rock hard cock  as he pressed her sodden labia against the warm water slicked flesh of his shaft. “Let’s see how well you resist while I get us to the changing rooms sex pot.”

“Just don’t drop me.”  She said smiling and leaning in as she rested her head on his shoulder, nipping and licking at his neck and shoulder.  “I’ll try to not wiggle too much.”  She said smiling as she started wiggling herself down onto his cock a little at a time, biting her lip to keep from moaning too loudly.

A low, rumbling neigh rolled through the horse boys chest at the sensation of his lover’s tight channel starting to slowly engulf his thick shaft. “Should… have know…. better…” he panted to her as he strode them across the pool deck towards the changing rooms as quickly as he could.

Staring straight ahead, doing his level best to keep a straight face as his lover continued to wedge more and more of his manhood into the tight confines of her channel he locked onto the closest of the changing rooms. Crashing through the door a moment later, luckily finding it empty he rolled his head back and a whinny escaped him as he pressed his lover against the back wall of the small space. One paw went to his waist, tugging the string that kept his trunks in place free and shoving them down to fall uselessly to the floor around his hooves. “You little minx,” he uttered as he began to slowly thrust up into her warm, silky depths. “God I love you my dirty little fluff ball.”

Saltwater Cafe

“So, do you think that they will buy into all of this?”  Chou asked shaking her head as her and Shanoa sat at the table in the cafe, waiting on the soon to be weds to walk in.

“I don’t know, but I think that we have a good shot with it.  I mean, I might not have been able to see the look on his face when it hit, but I could just sense the change.”  Shanoa said snickering a little.  “That and I’m sure with enough medical jargon they will believe it…..and here they come.”  The hybrid said smiling as she watched the two walking into the cafe and up to the table.

“Morning you two….sleep well….at all?”  Chou asked as she watched them pulling up a seat and sitting down, the waiter coming over to the table.

“Good morning ladies,” Zeus said with a huge smile on his face. “Yes actually… we did sleep well. once we actually got to sleep anyway. Though I think our… late night swim was a big help with tiring us out first.”

“Pervs.”  Shanoa muttered as the waiter walked up to the table.

“So what can I get everyone?”  The male pana asked, smiling down at the group.

“Coffee, with cream and sugar.”  Chou said.

“Same here.”  Hana said smiling to the male.

“I will have an Irish coffee.”  Shanoa spoke up.

“Coffee, black, two shots of espresso and a fist full of sugar cubes on the side…” Zeus chimed in looking a bit sheepish at the look his soon to be mother in law gave him. “What? I don't like sugar in the coffee but umm….”

“He’s a horse…...they are almost as good as sex to him.”  Shanoa said rolling her eyes, as the waiter snickered and walked off to get the orders.

“Oh, like they way that you lose your shit when you have catnip?”  Chou said smiling and nudging her sister.

“Hey you dicks drugged me….”  She said shrugging and shaking her head.  “You put it in a brownie, knowing that I love sweets, don’t tell me that it’s there…..What a christmas party that was.”
 Snickering Zeus said, “yea…. some of the guys at school did that sort of a thing to me once. They hid a bunch of sugar cubes in rice crispy treats and told me they were marshmallows. I ate three of those things and was mellow as hell the rest of the day.”

“You know.  I  think that we need to have a nice party…..I will bring the sugar cubes, catnip, and those salmon treats.”  Shanoa said with a snicker, looking over to Chou who didn’t say anything, just looked around the room.

“Your orders.”  The panda said starting to set the drinks down, before slipping off.

“You’re talking about the salmon patty treat things that mom won’t let me have aren't you?”  Hana said smiling as she looked over to her mother.

“Yup…..I might just let you try one, I mean you are getting married.”  Shanoa said smiling and winking.  “Just don’t tell your mom.”

“I’m right here you know.”  Chou said looking to her sister.

“Shush, you didn’t hear nothing.”  

“Bite me.”  

“Nope, I’m not into the incest thing…..that and with all the fucking that has been going on under my room…...I found a cute little kitty to play with.”  Shanoa said smiling.

“Salmon treats?” Zeus asked raising an eyebrow at the older women. “Oh shit, are you talking about yummy chummies? A buddy of Randy’s told me about those things… said to canines those things were almost like crack or something.”

“Yup, that’s the ones.”  Shanoa said smiling.  “You have them you can get most, if not all canines to do anything that you want them to.”  

“Hey sis…..aren't you part canine?”  Chou said smiling and cocking an eyebrow at her.  

“Only a little...just a tiny part maned wolf, and a lot of somali cat.”  She said rolling her eyes.

“So I just need to get one and wrap it in catnip.”  Chou said smiling and nudging her sister.

“No.”  Was all that she said as she started sipping her coffee.

“Well… from what I heard I can kind of see why momma Chou doesn't let you have them sweetie, those things could get you into some serious trouble. Randy said his buddy went on a bing and ate like a whole bag of them . They found him the next day naked sitting on top of a statue in the middle of Prairie Flats town center.”

“Yeah……”  Hana said shaking her head.  “I wouldn’t want to end up naked on a statue like that…..now naked on something else….”

“Before you two pull another pool moment, we have something to give you.”  Shanoa said smiling and reaching under the table, lifting up a gift bag.

“Oh god, what did you do?”  Hana asked as she reached out for the bag.

“Nothing bad miss negative panties.”  Chou said snickering.

“Not wearing them mom.”  Hana said as she pulled the bag into her lap and started pulling the paper out of it.

“Well pull it out so we can all see it.”  Shanoa said smiling and snickering.

“I don’t know if I want to.”  Hana said blushing as she pulled the first box out of the bag and started unwrapping it, moment’s later she was sitting there with a chastity device fit for a horse.  “You two!”  Hana squeaked out.

“Ummmm….” the palomino boy stammered, a bright pink flush coming to his ears in an instant. “That…. ummmmm…. oh God.”

“There’s more in the bag.”  Shanoa said smiling, her and Chou doing their best to not bust out laughing at the looks on the two’s face.

“I’m going to get you both back for this….”  Hana said as she slipped the box onto Zeus’ lap and pulled out another, larger box.  “I’m really going to get you two back for this one.”  She said as she started opening this box, blushing at the sight of the jumbo box of condoms.

“I ordered them from work, there’s like a hundred in the box, so you two should be good till we hit shore.”  Shanoa said smiling, picking up and sipping from her cup.

“Damn you two.”  Hana mumbled, putting the boxes in the bag.  “I wonder if there’s catnip on the ship.”

“But…. she…. I mean Hana kind of outlawed those for us when she went on birth control and ummm….” the equine stammered before taking his cup in paw and chugging down the contents. “She, well… she kind of likes it the other way.”

“Well that’s the thing that we need to talk to you two about.”  Chou started out, only to get cut off by Shanoa.

“I’m the doctor, let me handle this.”  She said smiling and snickering a little.  “Well I got to looking into something…..checking and making sure that the medication and all was good…..don’t want anything to happen to my little niece….and I found out that….well when used...the brand that you have been taking is ineffective when the two parties are of different species.”  She said pausing.  “That was part of the reason that I had hidden all the rubbers in your room.  I was looking to all of this and doing fact checking.”

“Ok……”  Hana said looking wide eyed from her lover to her aunt.  “You’re telling me that me and my husband have been having unprotected sex…..and he has been filling me….and I can get knocked up?”

“WHAT?” Zeus nearly shouted, his eyes going wider than dinner plates as he stared at the catwolf across the table from him. “How the…. why the…. but, but her doctor back home said it would work just fine. What the hell?”

“Yeah…...There are some doctors out there that I swear, they got their license from the bottom of a cracker jack box.”  She said digging through her bag and pulling out a manilla envelope.  “Its all right here.”  She said handing them the papers, showing the ‘research’ that she had done.

“What are we supposed to do about all the times that me and Zeus have been….well….breeding?”  Hana asked looking down at the paper work.  “I mean….what if I’m knocked up?”

“Well…...I’m sure that you two can handle a kid….I mean, as grandma I will help.”  Chou spoke up.

“Just give it a few days and then I will take you down to the infirmary and let them know who I am and all that, and we will get you looked out…..though I think that you two will make some cute babies.”  Shanoa said smiling.  “Little equinines…….god the dicks on them things….ok….maybe little abominations of mixed evolution.”

“Well…. ummmm,” Zeus stammered looking down at the papers in his lover’s lap. “We are getting married and I kind of figured that we would have kids some day… but I hadn't really thought about what they would be with our species and all.” Taking Hana’s paw in his he turned to look at her and added, “we’re kind of young for kids yet, maybe we should….”

“Shanoa……”  Hana said holding her lover’s hand.  “You're going to be the doctor for us and all that…..you going to help us take care of the kid and stuff?”  She said turning and looking her lover in they eyes.  “No sweetie…..if we have a kid, then it was something that was meant to happen, so it’s going to happen.

“No.”  Shanoa said.  “I’m not a baby rearing doc…..I work in an ER….”  She said rolling her eyes.  “You two are too sweet….though I can get you hooked up with someone that can help with the baby and all.”

“You… you’re sure about that Hana?” Zeus asked unable to keep from glancing at his lover’s belly for a moment before looking back into her eyes. “You really think that if we do get pregnant it was meant to be that way?”

“Yes.”  Shanoa said smiling.  “The fates have a funny way of working things out.”  The hybrid said smiling.

“Yes.  It was the fates that brought me and Shanoa together as family.”  Chou said smiling.

“See honey…..it might have been meant to be like this from the start.”  She said leaning against her lover, murring softly as she nuzzled against him.

“Maybe…” he said trailing off for a moment before looking up at the coatwolf. “Ummm… well now you’ve got me thinking about something. I mean I love Hana and we do want kids I guess…” He paused seeming to try to figure how to best put into words the thought that had suddenly came to his mind. “Okay, you’re a doctor and you might know, but honestly would it be safe for Hana to get pregnant with our baby? I mean… I am a horse and she’s a puppy… is that kind of thing even possible?”

“Yes.”  Was all that Shanoa said before picking up her coffee cup and finishing off the contents.  “It’s possible for her to bear the child, though I’m not sure that a vaginal birth would be all that safe, so a C-section would be the safest bet there.  As for the changes that she would go through, they would be….well like if she was having twins or triplets of her own breed.”  She paused and thought for a moment.  “As long as she only has one she should be ok, I mean I have seen some strange couples come through JTM, ready to shoot a baby out.”  She said snickering.  “Some a lot like you two in terms of size.”

“Oh…” the equine boy said  retrieving his cup and sitting back in his seat. “Well then, I guess maybe it’s okay… and it is a good thing you let us know about her birth control… we’ll have to check into that more when we get back home I guess.”

“Now, don’t let this ruin the vacation and wedding….you two have fun.”  Shanoa said smiling.

“Yeah, though I’m sure that you two have somethings to talk about…..Go back to your room and we’ll make sure that no one bothers you two.”  Chou said smiling warmly.  

“Thanks you two.”  Hana said looking up to her husband to be.  “Come on sweetheart.”

“Okay honey,” the horse boy said quickly draining his cup and putting it on the table. “Thank you both for the gifts….. and the information and all….” he trailed off as he stood up holding his lover’s chair as she did the same.
