ForeverEgg

  Once I was satisfied with my post-breeding cuddles, Carolyn dragged me out of bed for a bath. Deyha had already gone ahead to check that the water was warming back up fast enough so I let myself be a little sluggish as I used the bathroom and brushed my teeth.

  I watched the mirror image of myself with a disected sort of i. Intuitively I knew for a fact it was a true refle, but I absolutely did not see myself there on any deeper level. It was weird to notice that the feeling persisted. I’d spent my life growing to hate my refle and theually just dissociating from it out of habit. I grew to rely so heavily on fetting to hate myself just to fun, and now I felt like I was seeing sting scars from my decisions.

  It wasn't fair. I didn’t dissociate to avoid w on myself, I did it because that was the best tool I had to survive. And now I felt like I didn't know how to look in the mirror. I wondered if it was already time to pump the breaks on Carolyn’s pyground initiative. How would I ever take ownership of my body if I kept saying it was hers?

  I tilted my head to the side, seeing the refleirror the a but not really feeling that I’d rotated my viewpoint. As though I’d left the camera behind. I k was just my body's way of grounding what I saw with what I felt in terms of the pull of gravity, but it added another yer o the whole situation.

  Did it matter how muy face was familiar to me? My cheeks had rounded out, and Carolyn had made tiny adjustments to my nose, jaw, and eyebrow to match, but even knowing that the ges were so subtle, I couldn’t point out how they actually made my braier the refle as girly.

  The girl in the mirror wasn’t my type at all. She was the girl I wao be, sure, but gazing at her curves didn’t light any small fires ihe worst part robably seeing that disi reflected right back at me.

  Carolyn appeared behind the refle, tug her head into the shoulder of the irl as I felt her her arms around me.

  “Is something wrong?”

  I shrugged. “Nothing I could put a finger on. I think I just herapy.”

  “What? Why?”

  I gestured at the mirror. “Because I 't rationalize that as me. I’m trying, but I think I'm doing it wrong somehow.”

  “That sounds horrifying…”

  I shrugged again. “It's not scary to me I suppose. It's been years since I got in the habit of treating my refle like it was someone else. On good days I could vince myself I was looking at a friend, but I don’t reize her right now.”

  Carolyn squeezed me gently. “Its your body–”

  I ughed, startling her as my shoulders shook.

  “What's so funny?”

  “Our body.” I held out my hands like the bugs bunny meme. “I don't know, it just kinda cracks me up for it to be my body but also your body… so the logical clusioo be that it's ours.”

  “Oh Maddie.” Carolyn sighed. “Your humor is truly broken.”

  “Mhmm!” I turned around, putting the refle behind me for the moment. “Are there any good queer-friendly therapists in the area?”

  “We’ll find you something. For now, let's get you ed up.”

  I nodded a her lead me back to the main bedroom. I collected my pid fnnel robe and ed it around myself, fog on the soft fabric against my skin as I situated it on my shoulders and ched the belt with a bow.

  The bathhouse robably the coolest innovation for the farm, a true anomaly for the try at rge, but perfect for a facility where so much of the living space is shared.

  I remembered Deyha talking about how she painstakingly painted her hooves with nail polish hours before using the baths, just because they couldn't soak without getting soft and starting to crack. Ba the evening when I'd received my colr we hadn't worried about that, Deyha had even poured a bunch of soap in to make it a bubble bath, no doubt gumming up the filter and throwing the chemicals out of whack.

  Now that her of us had hooves anymore, I was feeling jazzed about actually using the bath area correctly for the first time. I took care to shower thhly, carefully iing the freshly messed fur to make sure nothing sticky had gotten caught. I'd have to get one of those hand brushes that are specifically designed for washis, but that was an issue for another day.

  As if reading my mind, Deyha peeked over the stall. "Special delivery!" she held out a brush, the kind with loops to put your fihrough rather than a long handle.

  "Thanks!" I slipped it over my fingers. "Is there a particur method I should use?"

  "I brush in circles for thering and straight lines while rinsing, but it's up to your preference."

  "Makes sense." I set about shampooing my legs. I figured I'd o pick up some bulk strawberry shampoo just to keep anyone else from correting my st with any particur state I might be in, though I had no doubt Xander would figure it out first. Carolyn would drop hints, just to make sure the appropriate number of people could tease me at any given time.

  It felt like it was forever before I was finished ing up, and I wondered how long Deyha and Carolyn had been soaking before I joihem. I sat on the edge, turning to swing my legs over and then lower myself into the hot water.

  "This is nice. Is there a chore chart somewhere to rotate out who s it each… I don't know if weekly is actually enough. I'm curious how maintenance goes for this."

  "No chart." Deyha spoke. "It's just one of the things I maintain around here."

  "It's spotless! You've been ing this all along, eve was massively inve for you to use it yourself?"

  "Xaook over while I was in the ic." Deyha lifted a foot out of the water, and flexed her talons. "I'm gono figure out some new PPE though, Cws are gonna be a bitch to keep from tearing out."

  "What were you using before?"

  "I have roof hoof covers, they're like rain boots but sized for hooves."

  "Well then I'll use those. Show me how to do the ing and we'll e up with a schedule of some sort."

  "I still o mahe chemicals and filters."

  "Then we'll make sure the schedules match."

  Carolyn spoke up, "I don't think she's going to let this go, Deyha."

  Deyha squi me. "Yeah, I'm getting that impression as well."

  "You're both workaholics, sue me for wanting you to have down time."

  "I'm gd you're so willing to help." Carolyn slumped in the pool, letting her head rest oowel that was rolled up behind her head. "It would be kinda insane for Deyha and I to go out recruiting people and then just end up with more work."

  "To be fair, I am also a lot of work."

  Carolyn chuckled. "Aren't we all?"

  “Speaking of work, we should discuss the whole children thing while I'm not blissed out of my mind.”

  “Oh?” Deyha smirked. “You don't want to make important family pnning decisions while uhe influence?”

  I made a small spsh in her dire, "That's exactly what I don't want to do. I’d like you to reaffirm what you meant, preferrably without using the sort of nguage that sets me off.”

  Carolyn chuckled. “Mission impossible. I'll start then, I was never going to go for a kid when it was just Deyha and me. I holy just don't want to make my life about nurturing the geion, so I figured I’d be the best weird aunt I could be. You know first hand I am ready to shower a baby with love, but I am not seeking out kids, and I doubt I ever would.”

  Deyha nodded. “And since families are the kind of thing that o be unanimous, I never really brought it up. I do want a family. This farm is a wonderful step in that dire, and we are filling it with the weird we want to see in the world, but I want there to be kids too.” She turo me.

  “Oh. I– ugh. It's hard to pce my feelings on the subject. Like, in isotion, all the reasons I could want a kid seem really bad. I definitely have a breeding kink, my self esteem is still low enough that I’ll self-destruct to be liked and valued, and worst of all I'm insecure enough in my gender identity that I’d also do it just to be perceived as a ‘real’ woman. I’m basically just full of bad reasons to be a mom.”

  “It's good that you reize that.” Carolyn murmured.

  Deyha shushed and waved Carolyn off. “So it's definitely not the right time. That's okay.”

  “I just don't expect it to get better. Maybe my self esteem and insecurities will improve, but the breeding stuff is already not a joke to me. Just saying you wanted me to carry your child was all it took to pletely win me over, and I fully io beg incessantly until you really do knock me up.”

  Carolyn pursed her lips. “I feel like it's important to crify a couple points here… the only way Maddie will carry a child is if an egg is fertilized in a petri dish, and even then you would be one of the first people in history to ceive with a womb that you were not born with. Sure, in vitro is totally an option in theory, but it doesn't take much to end up with a child that has very special needs.

  I frowned. "So earlier when you said that I could bear a child, you lied?"

  "I didn't mean to." Carolyn sighed. "But back then I was a lot more fident in my ability to produ-fit-fun rept anatomy, you bme me for having my faith shaken i few months?"

  "No I don't bme you." I sank into the water, smirking as my breasts began to float "I'm sorry for projeg my disappoi onto you."

  Carolyn sighed and stood up. I watched, transfixed as the water ran off her scales in little winding paths. It wasn't until she was climbing into my p that I realized my mistake.

  "Hey! Wait!" I cowered into the er of the pool as she straddled my p.

  "Hold still." Carolyn warned as she ed her arms around me.

  I gasped as she saeeth into the flesh of my shoulder, pairing the sensation with nails digging into my back as she pressed against me. I went limp, save for a few involuntary shudders as she gradually increased the pressure.

  She released me, lig the spot as had bee her habit before sitting back.

  "Whoops." she said, with no hint ret. "I wonder if perhaps I overdid it orawberry fvors."

  "Huh?" I struggled to gather my thoughts, I felt a little dizzy with the heat and the feeling of her skin where she sat on my p made it so much worse.

  "I think your blood is strawberry fvored too now."

  "That's disgusting." I murmured and patted the spot on my shoulder. Sure enough, my hand came back with a couple tiny patches of scarlet.

  "Sorry about the bath, Deyha.-- OW! JESUS."

  I yelped as she bit the other shoulder, seemiermio even things out.

  "It's fine Maddie, I'll close the bath for the evening when we're done and shock the water ht."

  "Well if keeping the water is a lost cause--" Carolyn purred.

  "I didn't say that." Deyha interjected, but Carolyn was already massaging my chest, clouding the water between us with my milk.

  "Deyhaaaaa." I whined. "Carolyn is bullying me."

  The room echoed with spshes as I pushed Carolyn off of me, and Deyha swooped in to catch her and hold her off of me.

  "Hurray." I deadpanned. "I'm free."

  "Oh, I wouldn't say 'free'--" Deyha set Carolyn down behind her and approached me. "More like, under new ma."

  I scrambled up onto the edge of the bath, but Deyha caught my legs before I could turn to get out.

  "You have been making a mess.--" She pulled me into her arms, lifting me easily and leaving me no option but to my arms around her neck. "--and I don't take kindly to people leaving messes for me."

  "It's not my fault!" I whined. I could already feel her cock as it bumped against me. "I'll it up."

  She set me down on the far edge of the bath where there wasn't a built-in benderwater. I squirmed and shimmied to get my tail out from under me as Deyha rested her hands on my hips.

  "I think the prevailing wisdom when trying for kids is that persistence is key."

  "And the definition of insanity is trying the same thing--"

  "No it isn't." Carolyn cut me off. "Keep cumming in her gay ass, Deyha. I believe in you."

  "Doctor's orders." Deyha smirked at me.

  "No," I looked betweewo of them, "No, we are not doing anal today."

  "Well if that's the only restri…" Deyha ressed against my entranow, not seeming to care if she had the angle or not.

  "It is NOT the only restri, I've done enough research to know that uer sex just washes away all the lubrit and ends up hurting."

  "Not uer, not in the ass, anything else?" Deyha rubbed the tops of my thighs, very effectively preventing me from ing up with a ter-argument or even a response.

  "Fine! Fine--" I pushed Deyha back so that I could drop back down into the tub, and waded across to steal Carolyn's head-rest towel.

  "Hey!"

  I ignored her protest, soaking it pletely food measure before ying it out where Deyha had sat me down a moment ago. With a little hop, I mao y over the edge of the tub. This wall of the bath was thicker thahers, presumably to cover whatever filters, pumps, or heaters that were necessary to make the whole thing fun, so the tile that wasn't cushioned by the towel leasantly warm against my chest and hands as I gripped the far edge of the lip. I kicked my legs pyfully as I heard Deyha and Carolyn chuckle at my antics.

  "Who could deny su invitation?" Deyha rubbed my lower back before squeezing my sides and pressing into me.

  I gasped as she bottomed out, her palms pressed into my back as she groaned. All the weight being on my stomach made Deyha feel so much rger than she had earlier. And the fact that I couldn't quite touch the bottom of the bath with my feet made the whole ungrounded sensation all the more ing. I heard spshing and footsteps as Carolyn climbed out, and she sat by my elbow.

  "Our baby is so well trained.--" she cooed as Deyha made a sed agonizingly slow thrust. "Such a good girl, presenting herself for breeding."

  Carolyn rubbed my back, alternating using her fiips and nails as she traced random patterns. "Who could have known that she would blossom into su obedient little cow?"

  "Carolynnn" I whined.

  "What? Am I wrong?" She ran her fingers up my neck, bing into my hair as I let my head fall forward. "You're a very good cow. You make the most deliilk, you take Deyha's cock without the slightest pint, and you leap at the opportunity to be bred at the mere suggestion of children."

  I struggled to breathe as Deyha increased her pace, Pulling at my hips for purchase as she made much deeper thrusts than she had before.

  "So fug tight…" Deyha grunted, punctuating the ent with a wet sp of her hips against my backside.

  Meanwhile, Carolyn tugged at my hair, lifting my head to look at her. "It won't be too much longer before her horns are big enough to grab." she mused. "We should probably start w on her gag reflex now just so she will be ready. Oh, I have so many ideas! With a bit of testing, we could have her ying massive eggs, I bet that would feel a bit like being pregnant. It would give her a nice baby bump, and she could get some practi and everything! It wouldn't have to be a hard shell, and I bet she could out a five pound egg every couple months with the right diet."

  "You have a strange idea of sex talk, Lynn." Deyha muttered as she slowed her pace.

  I whined and kicked my hooves weakly as she pulled out.

  "I know babygirl," Deyha rubbed my lower back, "Just give me a moment."

  I caught my breath and propped myself up on my elbows, ing around to see what the distra was. Deyha pulled Carolyn into a kiss, dragging her back toward the bath and repositionio sit beside me with her feet ier.

  "You've been terrorizing Maddie." she murmured to Carolyn.

  "Mmmm only a little." she sighed as Deyha ran her hands down to her hips.

  "I think you're ag out because you feel ed."

  "No, I-- hey!" Carolyn cut off as Deyha pulled her to sit at the very edge. "Deyha?" Carolyn gasped as Deyha lined herself up and pressed in, seeming to slide in easily.

  "What's wrong Lynn?" Deyha taunted. "Not so easy to sass when the dick is iher t now, is it?"

  "That's-- so stupid." Carolyn gasped

  Deyha thrust again, bottoming out in her as Carolyn whined and folded in on her.

  "I'm going to fuck that attitude out of you."

  "You fuck-- Ah~ the awful jokes while you're at ~Ah!" she trailed off, seeming to lose the thread as Deyha had her way.

  I slipped bato the warm water, enjoying the show as Carolyn's posure melted away. The dignified and sassy persona was pletely gone, repced by needy cries as Deyha held her.

  I couldn't look away, I kly how it felt to be at Deyha's mercy like this, and while I absolutely wished it was me right now, I felt so happy seeing Carolyn sharing in the joy I felt. They were good together, to the point where It felt a little absurd that they wanted me, but I already ko toss out that feeling. They loved each other this mud they loved me.

  I sidered what I could be doing right now to make either of them feel aer, but I was ing up bnk. I didn't want to get in the way, and while I was certain they wouldn't get mad at me for stepping in in some capacity, the fact was this wasn't about me. It wasn't even about Carolyn feeli out, even if that was the excuse that Deyha gave.

  Carolyn's cries reverberated in the small room, nearly drowning out the spshing as Deyha's movement weakened. Finally she stopped altogether, pulling Carolyn off the edge and stepping back to sit down against the opposite edge of the pool.

  Carolyn sighed as she melted into Deyha's chest. "I should have deleted your mods ages ago."

  Deyha chuckled, rubbing Carolyn's back. "All thanks to Maddie I suppose."

  "Excuse you," Carolyn sat up. "I worked my ass off designing that dick."

  "With credits to you as well, of course." Deyha rolled her eyes. "But you know as well as I do that this was never going to happen without her."

  "That's not-- there's no way…" I stammered.

  "No," Carolyn sighed, "She's right. Without you there to glue us together… I hate to think of how broken things would have ended up." She turned back to Deyha. "It would have taken many more years, and by then the pain as probably would have ed our love until there was nothi."

  "That's just lucky--"

  Deyha looked at me and held out her hand. "e here, Maddie."

  "Okay…" I scooted over to sit o her and she pulled me close.

  Carolyn leaned over to kiss my forehead and they both winced.

  "Ooo- Ow." Deyha muttered and lifted Carolyn off her p.

  "What? What happened?"

  "You were right about uer sex, painfully sticky. Anyways, that's beside the point.--" Deyha took my hands ahem up. "You being here makes this a family."

  "And we will keep saying it until you believe us." Carolyn added. "So don't buing."

  "I think you're both blowing a small impact way out of proportion."

  "How would you know anything about your impact?" Deyha ughed. "You became family basically the moment you arrived. You have no baseline, no 'before' to pare to the present."

  "How is it that every time you guys say hings to me it iably circles back around to calling me dumb?"

  Carolyn cackled. "Because only an idiot would think so little of herself."

  "See?" I looked at Deyha aured at Carolyn "Do you see how I might get a mixed message there?"

  "The cepts of how dumb and beloved you be are not remotely inpatible." Carolyn stated. "Get loved, idiot."

  "I don't have to stand for this--"

  "You're sitting." Deyha pointed out, and before I could get up to refute her she pulled me into her p. "I love you, Maddie." She kissed my cheek.

  I gred at her. "I love you too, jerk." I turo Carolyn. "And the same goes for you, lizard."

  I shook in Deyha's p as she ughed. She provided ance as Carolyn pulled at me.

  "Oh you're asking for it now." she dunked me under water.

  I coughed and sputtered as I recovered and scrambled for the edge.

  "Easy with the horsepy." Deyha warned.

  "I'm a cow!" I corrected as I wiped my eyes and spat.

  "You're bleating like a little goat." Carolyn fired back.

  "Okay" Deyha stood and stepped out of the tub. "Bathtime is over, out."

  "Way to go Carolyn." I drawled sarcastically as I climbed over the edge of the bath.

  "Truly, you tw out the best and worst in each other." Deyha stepped out after me and shook her legs."Go get dressed, I'll show you how to the tile surfaces."

  "Okie dokie." I stuy to Carolyn, delighting in her indignant stammering as I escaped to a shower stall to rinse off.
