Kate and Manu were undecided about administering the vaccines. Kate had serious reservations, and Manu's cautions about the storage and handling led us to lean against using them. We continued to debate it, though. It was very tempting. If we could inoculate ourselves against the virus carried by the hawk-bugs, perhaps we would be less disrupted the next time a swarm came through. They were deadly, though, and even a good vaccine might leave one or two of us still exposed. We'd have to take all the same precautions as if we had no vaccinations.

That decided it for us. We left the vaccines to sit in storage and as a group determined that we felt too unsure of the medicine to attempt using it.

We discussed the plan to keep a couple of us at the North camp at all times. Gale said, “well, it works out perfectly. You know we're getting into the heart of the harvest months, lots of work to do in the fields anyway.”

We set up a schedule with two people staying North for three days before another set of two would relieve them. Bailey, Mie, and Poln were excluded, leaving nine of us to take part. Nina and Hakee volunteered to take the first shift and headed North after lunch.

The rest of us went about our normal activities, and for the next couple of days, things returned to normal. I still worried about GS patrols, still wondered some moments whether we should risk the vaccinations. No boats arrived over that time, and we eventually dumped the vaccines and stored the small glass bottles for other uses.

I fished with Mie, Poln, and Kate while Bailey fed Katie after lunch. The water had been calm, and the fish lazy, few biting our bait. Even the shore birds looked longingly toward where they usually devoured sand crabs and minnows. I decided to give up after we'd landed only a couple of decent-sized keepers, left the others to continue their efforts, and slid to the East with a bucket to gather shellfish.

Keekah rushed into the water, tackled me, and for a moment, I was under and gasping for breath. When I surfaced, she hugged me tightly, exclaimed, “I pregnant! I pregnant!”

I raised my eyebrows, “are you sure?”

“Yes! I no bleed. I no bleed!”

“How late are you?”

“One week! Manu say she think I pregnant!”

I knew it was incredibly early to be certain, but I felt happiness for us both. I hugged her, kissed her lips, felt the excited joy in Keekah's body. We bounced together for some time before she finally let me go.

“Told anyone else yet?”

“No. I tell you first. Then I tell them. I tell them now!”

She rushed off, stopping to talk to those fishing, hugging them, smiles all around, then she raced back up to camp and repeated the announcement celebrations with anyone she could find.

I felt tingling happiness in that moment. I still worried about bringing another baby into our lives, but Katie was a true joy, and I knew Keekah would make a great mother, just as had Bailey. I hoped she was right about being pregnant. I knew that a late period could happen and, much worse, not all pregnancies would survive the months before childbirth.

I tried to return to collecting clams and oysters, found myself smiling constantly under a party-cloudy sky.

Bailey joined me after passing Katie to Manu for a while. I could see she already knew Keekah's big announcement. “Happy for her, Kal. Really happy. Katie needs other kids around her, now we'll have someone for her to grow up with.”

“Keekah surely wanted this for a long time. Remember when we decided that we wouldn't risk her getting pregnant while you and I worked towards that first? I thought she was going to go crazy every time I pulled out, or came in her ass or in you instead. She was kinda jealous.”

“I understand that,” Bailey said, thoughtfully. “Just glad she got there and now I have someone to talk to about it, someone to share motherhood with me. It's gonna be great!”

“Love you, Bailey. You're the best.”

“Mmm... Love you too, Kal. I'm gonna go show Kate how to make the stew. I'll take what you've collected and start cleaning them, be right back with the bucket.”

She headed back to the fire pit and returned a bit later with the container. I collected a few dozen more before heading back to check on the fishing. They had had more success after I left, two buckets full of flopping fish. I grabbed a knife and the other items I needed, then set about fileting them and getting them ready for supper.

Keekah helped me, glowing as she smiled constantly. “So,” I started, a mock seriousness on my face. “I guess you don't need my seed in you now that we've made a baby.”

She pouted, protested, “no true! I want very much. Tonight, yes? Tonight!”

I grinned at her, kissed her lips, said, “I'm kidding. Tonight.”

- - -

We slipped into our hut before dinner after finishing the fish and cleaning up. I held Keekah in my arms as we stood near the mattress, my hands running over her body. “Having my baby... god, Keekah... that just makes you more sexy, you know...”

She purred, kissed my neck, one hand stroking my cock where it had risen to press against her Mons. “Love you, Kowl...”

My fingers pressed into her slit and she leaned back in my arm, her body tensing as her thighs parted. I found her wetness, drew it up to her hard nub, and rubbed her clit as she moaned and panted. I pushed her back to a table against the wall. Keekah sat on the edge, leaned back, spread her legs wider.

I sank to my knees, smelled the brown-skinned teen's arousal, tasted her pungent juices on my tongue. I licked her slit, tickled her pubes a moment, then probed her opening where a creamy discharge was slick and delicious just inside. Keekah moaned, her hands drawing across her breasts, teasing her own nipples as I ate her pussy.

She bucked against my face, bucked, jerked in small, quick movements. She called out, “yes, Kowl... yes... ohhh...” Fluids ran down my chin as Keekah shuddered into orgasm. Before she was done cumming, I stood and pushed my hard penis into her wet vagina.

I groaned as I penetrated the fifteen-year old, sinking my length deep in her barely-pregnant cunt. It turned me on to know that my seed had found an egg in Keekah's womb, that she was pregnant, her body just beginning to change to protect and grow our future child.

I humped her faster, her legs rising up to wrap around my waist. The table creaked, banged against the wall, Keekah's body bracing against my penetration. I looked down between us, could see thin smears of creamy discharge coating my shaft. I shuddered, held her hips, brought my groin forward and back as my cock swelled in her body.

Keekah's eyes found mine, her mouth open, soft grunts coming from her lips. I grew warm, tingling, felt my seed pulsing up from my testicles. I ground myself against her, ground my cock into her body, felt myself letting go. Semen rushed from the tip of my penis and flooded Keekah's vagina in four, quick, powerful, bursts. I humped firmly as I came, unloading myself fully within her tight pussy, pulled her head up for a kiss.

She giggled as I began to withdraw, used her fingers to wipe my cum over her genitals, her dark pubes soon matted and messy. Keekah drew a glob of sperm to her lips, mewled as she tasted it, then swallowed it quickly. I stepped back, watched more white fluids run in a thin stream out of her hole and down over her anus.

Keekah slowly brought her legs down and stood, shaky. We shared a long kiss. I whispered, “I love you, Keekah. So happy for you.”

“Love you, Kowl. I so happy have you baby in me.”

Bailey sat nursing Katie near where I worked on cleaning tubers which we planned to use to make the rough flour, the base for creating flatbreads and thickening soups. She smiled at me, “you look happy, Kal.”

I smiled back at her. “I am. Just buzzing, you know.” I watched as Katie sucked milk from Bailey's tit. I wondered about the child I hoped Keekah would carry for the next eight-and-a-half months in her womb. “If you could chose, would you want a boy or a girl for Keekah?”

Bailey thought a moment, said, “boy, I guess. I don't really care, just that the baby is healthy.”

“Boy. I guess I'd pick that too. We have a wonderful girl in our family, would be neat to have a boy, as well.” I tossed chunks of tuber into a large pile in a pan nearby. “Has Keekah said which she hopes for?”

“No, doubt she cares. You know her, she's been wanting your babies for a long time. She can't get past that right now.”

“I hope she's right. Late periods can happen... even skipped sometimes... I hope this doesn't end like that...”

“Yeah... I talked to her earlier about that. She knows, but she's not really accepting that it's possible.”

“Well... if it does happen, I'll do my best to keep trying.” I grinned.

“I bet you will, Kal... I bet you will”

“On another matter, I wanted to talk to you about something kinda important.”

Bailey's face grew serious. “Ok.”

“Kate and I talked about how you and her have gone through the ceremonies and are my wives. Not that it means anything different to me, but she suggested that maybe Keekah and Amy might deserve that, too.”

Bailey thought a moment. “Yeah, yeah, I think so. What would it change for us?”

“Nothing. You know how much I love you, and you know I love Amy and Keekah the same. I think they might be happy to have a moment each to enjoy that feeling, too, the one we saw with Gale and Tok a few days ago. Might be really special for them.”

Bailey nodded. “I'd love to see that. Yes, I like it.”

I turned and kissed her, ran my hand over Katie's head a moment. “I love you two so much.”

Amy met me as I finished peeing, shaking my penis to get the last drops to fall. She smiled, put her hand around my waist, took my cock and made a show of shaking it. I laughed.

“So... Keekah's pregnant... that's great, Kal. Congrats.”

“Thanks, Sweetie. Really happy for Keekah.”

Amy didn't respond, seemed lost a moment.

I asked, “everything ok?”

She turned, said, “I'm late...”

My eyebrows raised, “how late?”

“Two weeks...”

“Keekah wouldn't listen, but you know... right? That it might be just a late or skipped period...”

“I know, but... I can't help that I get butterflies when I think about it. I might be pregnant!”

She was smiling broadly, no longer looking lost. I said, “amazing, Amy. That would be amazing. Do you hope you are?”

Amy hesitated only a second, “yes. I know I said I didn't when you've asked before... but after Katie and seeing Bailey with her... I kinda liked the idea. I want to have a baby of my own, Kal. I want to have your baby. So, yeah... I hope I'm pregnant.”

“Told anyone else yet?”

“No, for the reasons you said. Can we just keep this between us for now? Just a while till I know for sure...”

“Ok, for now. I don't like keeping secrets, but I understand. I'm excited for you!”

“Thanks,” she said before she kissed me then squatted, spreading her thighs a few inches, urine streaming out immediately. I watched her shudder then smile again as she emptied her bladder. “I'm excited, too.”

Amy finished and I walked with her, slowly, back towards the fire. “Wanted to ask you something, Amy.”

We paused and she faced me, waiting. “Would you like to get married?”

“What?”

“I love you, Amy. I want to make it official, with both you and Keekah. I know it doesn't change things, but... maybe you thought about being in Gale's place when they had the ceremony?”

“I did...”

“Would you marry me?”

“Oh, yes! Oh, Kal! Of course I would!” Amy jumped into my arms, kissing my neck. Her body slid on mine as we hugged, her nipples tight and excited. “When?”

“When we can. Sooner is better for me, I'm pretty booked a few weeks from now...”

She pinched my arm lightly, laughing. “Does Keekah know?”

“Not yet, will talk to her later. We'll do them separately, of course. You both deserve that.”

“I want to make Keekah's dress, I know just the one that would work, with some adjustments. She'll love it!”

“I'll have to ask if anyone else knows the ceremony and can give it for her.”

“I know it. I got Keekah to tell it all to me again, copied into one of the journals. I can do it for her, and she for me!”

I smiled, “that would be really nice, Amy. Really nice. I think she'd like that.”

We hugged again, and I heard Katie crying back at camp, so we turned to make our way there. “Thank you, Amy,” I said. “You never fail to make me a very happy man.”

“Same to you, Kal. And remember, please don't tell anyone about... it... not yet...”

“I promise.”

- - -

I thought Keekah was going to cry when I asked her to marry me. She alternated chattering rapidly in her native language and speaking to me in English as if I'd brought her all the happiness in the world. She loved the idea of Amy performing her wedding and making her dress, and promised she would do the same.

Later around the fire, Amy and Keekah sat with me while I held Katie in my arms next to Kate, Bailey bathing down the beach with the others. Amy insisted that Keekah have her ceremony first since she had been with me the longest. We didn't set an exact date, but it was going to take a few days for the dresses to get adjusted.

I slept next to Keekah and Bailey that night, Amy snuggling up against Keekah's back. Kate slept on the far side of Bailey. With the help of Bailey's pumped milk, she'd been answering Katie's cries in the middle of the night sometimes, letting Bailey sleep. Kate seemed to relish the role as a sort of surrogate mother, and that night she stayed closest to Katie's crib while Bailey slept between us.

My last thoughts of the day drifted to Keekah and Amy, thoughts of the likely growing embryos they carried, the first days of what would, hopefully, be babies later in the year. I felt a stirring of warmth, happiness, couldn't believe I might have three children before the peak of the next summer. It was humbling, scary, exciting. I was also aware that I'd get to watch both teens as their bellies grew, their breasts swelled, and their bodies changed in ways which would be very, very arousing.
