I can’t decide whether to be embarrassed that he was discussing this with his dad or impressed. I also can’t decide whether or not I want to take him up on the offer. Before I can make any decisions, though, my body spasms again, and I bear down once more, gritting my teeth.
Another egg flows into the water, and Cas catches it and puts it on the wall with its clutch mate.
Holy crap, that is not as fun as it was when they were going in, I tell him, feeling tired and sore.
He returns to me and gathers me into his arms, raining kisses down on my face.No, it’s not, but just think, we can do that all over again now.
I push away and stare at him in shock, while my kraken does a shimmy inside me. Stupid horny bitch. His eyes are black, and I know it’s his kraken that said that and not Cas. Cas values all his parts too much to suggest knocking me up again.
Listen here, asshole. If you lay your eggs in me again without asking, I will remove your breeding appendage, and you will never breed again. If there are going to be any more kraken babies, it will be a joint decision. Do you understand?
My kraken sulks as I put him in his place, but he quickly nods his head and backs away from me as I double over and expel the final egg. He attaches it to the wall with its siblings, and when he returns to me, I see Cas’s eyes again.
I’m so sorry, sweetie. He got the better of me. I promise I will never allow him to breed you again without consent.
I’m completely exhausted, and my limbs feel like jelly. I can no longer even support myself in the current. Cas scoops me up and holds me close, swimming me over to a nearby bed of seaweed. He lowers me down and wraps himself around me. “Sleep, my clever mate. I will watch over our children while you regain your strength.
I let my eyes drift shut, feeling content and proud and assured that Cas will watch over our babies while I rest.

Cas and I take turns guarding the eggs while one of us returns to the surface to eat and sleep. Although we can do both underwater, I refuse to eat any more raw fucking fish. Nope, no way, I won’t do it. Saxon also needs me, so I go back up to eat and keep Saxon’s needs sated—wink, wink—before returning to the sea once more.
The eggs have continued to grow and become more translucent. I can now see full-grown, perfectly formed kraken babies in there now. It’s super exciting and nerve-racking at the same time. I keep thinking of new things we are going to need and tasking Link, Xavier, and Saxon with getting them.
Echo and Maxsim wait for me on the beach every time I emerge and escort me back and forth from the house. Saxon informed me that they have been patrolling the beach, barely returning to the house, to ensure our safety from top side.
Cas and I have just done a swap. He’s looking more and more tired as the days go by. I think his paternal worry is kicking in big time, and until we can get them to shift and move out of the unfamiliar water, he’s not going to relax. We should have done this on Fluxx. Being in familiar waters would have been kinder to him. We’ve had some curious predatory fish hang around the entrance to our cave, and he’s spent a lot of time shifting into full kraken form and chasing them off. They can’t be too smart, though, because they keep returning.
I saw them recently. They look like a cross between an orca, great white shark, and crocodile. They are called the whathefucorcadile. They look hungry and dangerous, and I suggested that we ask Xavier for a magical barrier, but unfortunately, our babies need the flow of the current, and any barrier will stop that, so we remain vigilant.
There is a storm raging above as I make my return journey through the water, which causes the trip to be a little slower with the water turbulence. It really is a bit like a washing machine at the moment, and I’m being thrown back and forth. I need to get deeper so it doesn’t affect me as much.
I angle down as close to the sea floor as I can get. Through the swirling water, a sound catches my interest—a song that is somewhat mournful and familiar. Is that the sound of the water dragon from Fluxx? Surely not. Nobody mentioned there were any in these waters. My grandpas would have warned Cas like they warned him about the whathefucorcadile.
I slow to a stop in the hope that I can hear better, but a particularly nasty wave picks me up and slams me backward. I feel my back scrape against a nearby rock, and my bracelet gets caught. Jerking back in pain, I feel the bracelet snap and watch as it floats to the ocean floor. Fuck. Well, at least I don’t need it down here. I’ve had the babies, so there is no risk if I do change once we head back to the surface.
I swim quickly, no longer dawdling. I think my back is bleeding, and I don’t want to risk drawing the attention of the predators Caspian furiously chased off this morning before I returned to the surface. It usually takes them a day or two to return, but they are getting bolder.
I swim swiftly toward our baby cave. Caspian meets me at the entrance, his lips turned down in concern.Are you okay?he asks, running his eyes over my body to check.
I can’t stop the grimace that crosses my face.I got distracted and launched into the reef. I think I scraped up my back.
I turn to show him, and I feel his hand run over my skin. Yeah, you did, but you’re healing quickly. The wounds have already stopped bleeding and are closing.
That’s a relief. I was worried I was going to bring back the whathefucorcadile quicker than necessary.
I chased them a long way off this time. I’m hoping they won’t return at all. The babies must be due to come out any day.He can’t hide the excitement in his voice.
Yeah, but we still have to wait two weeks until they shift for the first time before we can leave the water.
He shakes his head and beams with excitement.No, I think Link’s cribs are going to be just what we need. Also, Xavier has converted your grandpas’ swimming pool into an ocean. He’s made it so the water can pump directly from the ocean into the pool and continuously cycle, so when they are not in the cribs, they can swim in there.
A huge sense of relief washes over me. Although he tried to hide it, Cas didn’t return from his scuffle with the predators unharmed. They continue to get braver each time, and I worry that the next time, I will be widowed. No, the pool is a perfect solution, and I will give my warlock mate another special blow job as a reward. He’s really racking them up now. Good thing I like to suck dick.
That sounds awesome. Go eat, and I will watch them. Hopefully tomorrow the five of us will be going to the surface together.
He bites at his lip and looks between me and the eggs on the wall.Are you sure? I can go without if you’re still in pain.
