“Deal.” She laughed. “You file the authorization, and I will call Ford. Wait. Does it include pastries?”
“It can include pastries, but you have to tell me whose babies I am carrying.”
Keres paused. “Really? There is a lot of fun with not knowing.”
Owen asked, “Can you determine it?”
Keres smiled. “Not until they have attached. Sissy, remember that I said you had twins coming?”
“Yeah.”
“A third and fourth have joined the party.”
Persephone’s face drooped. “You are joking.”
“Nope. Our family was ridiculously fertile at the worst of times. You are an omega from a multiple-birthing family. No omega in our family has had less than two children at a pregnancy. If my senses say four, there are four. Now, we will see if they all take. It is possible that not all will survive attachment.”
Mateo smiled. “Tell her what you told me.”
“Two dark-haired girls, one with golden skin and the other darker. No other was in my view at the time. Should I look for more?”
Persephone put a hand on her belly. “No.”
Everyone else said, “Yes.”
Keres closed her eyes and smiled. “Don’t worry, sissy. You need to paint everything pink for a while. Four cribs. All girls. You were generous. Everybody gets a baby. You are going to need a bigger car. All of you.”
Persephone paled and swayed. Owen caught her. “It’s okay. We will be here for you.”
Keres smiled. “You will be more than there for her. You will be her legs, her arms, and help her get around. She’s gonna be huge.”
Persephone was panicking. “I can’t. It’s too many.”
Keres stepped to her, and her sister bolted into her arms. “Hey. This is a normal effect of being mated. It happens, and I will be here for you.”
Persephone whined, “Can’t you do something? Take two or something?”
Keres paused. “I could, but they would develop faster and be here in weeks instead of months.”
Persephone leaned back. “You can? Would you?”
“Um, this is something you need to discuss with your mates. I could, but the babies would be exposed to my energy, and that might do things to the little lasses.”
Sissy grinned. “I can cast illusions that I can manifest physically. I think a little magic won’t hurt them.”
“This is a lot. Talk with your mates about it.”
“But, you would do it?”
“I would have to find a place to live, but yeah.”
Persephone frowned. “What do you mean?”
“Never mind.”
“What do you mean?”
“I have been trying to avoid attracting Elite attention, and I don’t feel right sponging off you and yours.”
