“Only you.”

Emerald hadn’t realized just how big her happy family was until they all gathered at the farm to celebrate the day of settlement and her daughter Cara, and Cara’s daughters and their men and their daughters arrived.
Cara looked at her askance when Aeon finally got up, settled her in the chair they’d both been occupying, and strode away to ‘help’ the other men gathered around the spit where they were roasting a pig. Emmy, her namesake and Cara’s eldest daughter, sent her a look of amusement. “I know it’s none of my business … but when did he become part of the family?”
Emerald caressed her belly. “Years ago—unofficially. Officially about nine months ago—just before I had Koryn’s daughter, Sybil.”
Emmy chuckled, shaking her head. “I thought that sappy look he had on his face the last time I was here was telling. I would’ve spaced the ‘happiness’ out a little more, though.”
Emerald shrugged. “I wanted to wait until Sybil was at least a year old to breed again, but Aeon wanted to ‘practice’. I have to say Koryn’s fertility treatments are … effective,” she added ruefully.
“I think half the colony would agree with you,” Cara said. “The other half is just grateful he came up with something non-chemical to use as birth control that didn’t involve abstinence. Speaking of which ….”
Emerald reddened. “Like I said,” she said pointedly. “None of us had anticipated such a quick turnaround. I informed all of them that there wouldn’t be any more babies in this house … not for a while anyway!”
“I take it that Koryn and Tariq were a little outdone when they discovered Aeon had planted a boy?” Emmy asked, chuckling.
Emerald grinned. “They tried to pretend they weren’t—not that they don’t dote on their girls—but you know men!”
“Not as well as you do, clearly,” Emmy retorted. “I don’t know how you handle having three Anunnaki! Both of my men annoy the shit out of me most of the time and make me wonder why I agreed to two! Mom always said you were a hell of a woman. I just thought she was exaggerating.”
Emerald smiled and reached over to squeeze Cara’s hand. “It’s a hell of a job, but someone has to do it!” she retorted, laughing. She saw when she glanced their way that her laughter had drawn her men’s attention. She sent them all a smoldering look and blew them a kiss. “Anyway, I love them and they love to love me … and they’re very, very good at absolutely everything they do. They’re Anunnaki after all—and naturally perfect in every way.”
“Mom!” Cara said, exasperated.
Emerald laughed. “I was wondering when you’d express your disapproval.”
“I don’t disapprove … exactly,” Cara said. “You’re a lot wilder than I was, though!”
“I doubt that! You were thirteen going on thirty and a regular little hellion before I sent you here.”
Cara shrugged but reddened. “I knew I shouldn’t have told you all of that! Alright, so the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.”
“They rarely do.”
The End.
