Choosing to Indulge (Kamendressing)

[estirose]

I have babbly muses tonight, but this is the only one I’m going to inflict on my flist. This is Ocean, his sister Taiga, and Kimiko, discussing yet another thing that Wataru can do for his sister. Like getting her queen pregnant.

Wataru couldn’t help blinking as his sister told him her plan and then looked at him expectantly. “But Nee-san,” he said, “I’m married. I can’t be getting Mio-san pregnant.”

“Well, of course you can,” his sister said. “Mio wants a child that’s related to me, you’re fertile enough, and I already asked Kimiko, and she’s agreed.”

And she and Mio-san couldn’t have babies together, of course, which Wataru understood, but he wasn’t sure why she’d ask for him. Other than maybe the solution to all of her problems. After all, she had asked Wataru to kill his sister, something he couldn’t do even when a version of her had tried to squash him to death.

“But….” He needed to come up with a better idea than what he was coming up with, which was nothing.

“Don’t worry, Wataru. You’re my little brother, and I’m sure you’ll do what you can to get her pregnant.”

“But Mio-san is your Queen!” Wataru exclaimed. Taiga barely wanted to have Mio-san leave her side, much like she hadn’t wanted Wataru to move out. Of course, the doctor had said it was better for Kimiko’s baby for them to live in Wataru’s house, which was the only reason he had some breathing room.

“And if Mio wants you as our baby’s father, you’ll be her baby’s father. It’s not up for discussion, Wataru. You need to do your duty to our family.” She folded her arms. “I’m not asking you to go attack your humans, Wataru, I’m asking you to give me a child.”

“Um.” He would definitely have to talk to Kimiko. “Give me a moment. Alone.”

She frowned, but like in everything else, she chose to indulge him that moment.

He called Kimiko. “Beloved, about Nee-san and Mio-san….”

Kimiko sighed. “I know what you’re going to ask. It’s to keep your sister away from us, beloved. She can hardly hover around you and me if she’s busy keeping her Queen safe.”

“Oh.” It made sense. He hated to do that to Mio-san, but it sounded like it would give her some happiness, at least. And Kimiko was right, Taiga would put her Queen’s welfare even above her little brother’s if her Queen was pregnant.

“Just… go and do it. I don’t like it, but I’d rather live with that then ten more months of your sister hovering.”

“Right.” He said his goodbyes and hung up the phone, hurrying back to tell his sister that he would do what she wanted.
