Since discovering Lucrecia's pregnancy Kole had become very protective towards his mate. He was worried he would become too tired so he was to stay in the cave. He didnt wan't to risk any accidents outside in the ocean.
It wasn't easy for Lucrecia either; he was constantly feeling bloated and uncomfortable as it was nearing the birth period. He was having trouble sleeping because of the constant pressure inside his body. It was making it difficult even just to move around.
Every day Kole went out to hunt and bring back food for them. Sometimes he brought home sea creatures like eels which Lucrecia liked eating. Other times he found shiny objects to bring back. Whatever it was though it seemed to help Lucrecia feel a bit better.
In fact when Kole knew that Lucrecia wasn't in the best of moods.
Kole was right, Lucrecia was bored. But he knew it wouldnt be too long now so he tried his best to hold on. His stomach had grown larger than before at an alarming rate so he couldn't do much however he still wanted some stimulation. Kole thought of things he could entertain Lucrecia with.
With a smile he remembered how beautiful Lucrecia looked with his decorated jewels, so Kole suggested he make some decorations for their children.
Lucrecia agreed happily and Kole set off to gather shells and rocks.
When Kole retured Lucrecia saw he carried various items.
He smiled and asked if he'd picked up anything good. He replied yes, and showed him what he had collected.
A shell shaped like a flower, a rock-like object which appeared to have many colours, a pearl and other smaller stones.
Lucrecia was focused on making up a small nest for the eggs and laying out the objects he forgot his uncomfortableness.
After dinner they settled into bed and Lucrecia asked Kole if he could ask something. He wanted to know how many babies he thought might come.
Kole rubbed Lucrecias abdomen thinking for a moment. Then he answered ''There are about six eggs fertilized.''
Lucrecia was suprised, A wave of happiness washed through him. He never expected such a large brood. The more the merrier!
His excitement was short lived as Lucrecia soon felt nauseous and sick again. He laid down and curled himself up with his tail.
Kole held Lucrecia close and said "I'm sorry I didn't think this would happen."
Lucrecia shook his head ''No, don't apologise. This is great!'' he kissed Kole gently and then returned to resting.
As the days passed Lucrecia grew bigger and heavier. Kole didn't want to leave the cave for long periods so he started to stockpile and even bring back some live prey to put into the separate pools in the cave.
The two made love often, it was an effect to his pregnancy. In truth Lucrecia enjoyed sex during this time more than ever. Even though he was big and heavy he loved every minute of it.
On one occasion Lucrecia was feeling particularly frisky and decided to take advantage of his husband's eagerness. He climbed onto Kole and began kissing him passionately while rubbing against him.
Soon he was rocking back and forth and moaning loudly. Their mating was fast paced and passionate. When it came to climax Lucrecia gave Kole everything he needed and wanted until both were exhausted and collapsed into each others arms.
For a week or so there was little change but then Lucrecia noticed that the eggs within his womb had begun to grow visibly larger.
This excited him greatly. He couldn't wait to meet these new additions in his family and also was no longer be bound to the cavern.
His belly had also changed shape, becoming wider and rounder. Especially near the front where it bulged noticeably. He hadn't been able to lie flat since his first month due to discomfort. Instead he slept curled up with Kole.
They spent most nights cuddling together. They always woke up happy and rested after a night's sleep.
And yet despite all this, Lucrecia missed being outside. He hated being couped up.
He told Kole of his desire and he promised him to go swimming after he had given birth.
Then one night suddenly Lucrecia went into labour.
