The moment I finished constructing that play pen was the moment that almost all of the children in the family found their way over to begin pushing it to its absolute limits, and the reason behind it was almost entirely because of Aka being sent running this way and that as her Dama put her to work.
Meanwhile Thalia was watching her older half sister with a narrowed gaze as she followed the running Kit this way and that, trying to keep her eyes on her but sometimes finding the need to defend herself as both Kalliope and Vesper took advantage of the situation.
Bashuk was crawling around her Dama's legs trying to find openings to gnaw on her boots, the three pups were engaged in a miniature battle, Ehretia was dancing around while Ipoala cheered her on from the side...
Melia slept soundly atop one of the many comfortable gigantic pillow balls that I had made, while Netyl was in her Mother's arms, looking around curiously but showing no signs whatsoever of wanting to get free.
Renna was holding both Sienna and Astaria as she sank into one of those pillow balls as well, watching everything from afar and taking the time to relax, which both Sienna and Astaria mimicked as they clung closely to their sexy~ Mama~!
All of these children were here and there were so many more on the way already... that made my head hurt a little as I tried to imagine keeping track of them all and remembering more about them personally, but I knew I would make it work someway, somehow.
Leaving everyone in the newly created play area to enjoy themselves, I took another break away from the chaos and instead made my way over towards the large hole that both Prixisia and Yiksa had begun to dig in the middle of our lands.
The Lamia was toiling hard beneath a giant tent while our egg 'watched' her from nearby, perched atop a cushion and carefully swaddled in a few pieces of cloth to keep it both safe and warm; meanwhile Yiksa was barely visible with how deep she was digging on her own, creating a personal hole for one reason or another.
Hearing me approach they both turned towards me, their sweaty skin and mild exhaustion causing me to raise a brow as I asked "You both know you're allowed to take breaks, right?", causing them both to just chuckle.
"Mistress, Spring isn't exactly providing us a 'cool' atmosphere as of now. It is definitely a warmer day, and digging is quite the activity. We just wanted to get this done before cooling down; Rhefia was the one to suggest 'linking' areas together with these holes to allow her to use her magic, so we're giving it a shot."
"Oh? She's helping?"
"Mhm. Wants the material for the compressed bricks that are heading for the wall. The sooner she gets it the quicker she can work, and the deeper we get to go. Were you coming over to supervise or to help..?"
Patting my still soft and somewhat aching belly I shook my head and said "No labor from me, but I can do a little bit of this...", getting closer to the two and making them smile wryly as their minds immediately shifted towards something else.
Seeing how they were 'reluctant' to let me close was amusing, and I almost let out a laugh when they rolled their shoulders out and gently tugged on their clothes, presuming that I was here to give them some sexual relief.
When they saw the warm red threads building around my hand they paused, and I caught the instant flash of fear that entered both of their eyes as they recognized the magic; a reassuring smile didn't really reassure them, so I just shrugged and focused the tendrils of mana into their bodies.
Those threads began to worm their way into their veins, and the shivering and stiffening that happened let me know they could feel it; not wanting to make a mistake and potentially harm them, I focused hard on my magic and began to gently pour some extra energy into their blood, giving them a nice, solid boost physically.
Both gasped and stood straighter as they got a fresh jolt of adrenaline and an appropriate amount of blood and whatnot to rejuvenate them almost completely, restoring them to their peak and pushing them a little higher too.
"There. Now you two should be able to work a little harder and a little longer. This'll make you quite hungry though, so I'm going to go make something for you both. Sandwiches or something more 'substantial'?"
Prixisia was blinking and staring at the ground while Yiksa was stretching, though the moment they heard the question they exchanged a look before Yiksa tentatively asked "Would it be possible for us to get some steaks, Mistress? Perhaps with some butter noodles?"
"Some nice, big, juicy~ steaks coming right up~! Oh, and while you eat I'll suck you both off, alright~? Been a little while since I got to savor my concubines cum~!"
That gave them both the emotional boost they needed to get back to their work with gusto, making me laugh as I watched them for a few moments before heading back to the main house, which was another place I wanted to start expanding on.
Just adding a few more rooms here and there, maybe even building out another deck lower to the water just to have it, and also a greenhouse to just... have another beautiful place to spend with my beautiful family.
I could also do with a much, much larger kitchen, maybe one with like another three big ovens, a longer countertop and some proper storage just to keep more things 'on hand' instead of in my inventory.
That would help Heila quite a bit I imagine, but it would also just be nice to have anyways since we could get all sorts of uses out of a place like that... namely having a perfect spot for some raunchy and hidden sex before, during or after meal preparations.
All sorts of things were getting added to my list the longer I walked around the compound, but all of those things just kept reminding me that I wasn't really in possession of a whole lot of workable time, especially not with new babies here.
Such a privileged problem to have since I never needed to worry about anything else, and it made me chuckle wryly to myself as I seared the two giant slabs of meat in a pan filled with butter, herbs and a bit of garlic.
