Help! My Male Employees Are Having Babies! Chapter 148: Direct from Z1

"This is Lori Alston reporting to you directly from the Z1 ranch. This interview is with Arlen Reed, the surviving husband of Alec Reed, whose life was viciously cut short by four individuals who entered their ho and murdered him as he protected his pregnant mate." Lori’s voice carried the weight of the tragic story she was about to tell. "Yes, Arlen is a Genman and he was married to the love of his life, Alec, a human that dared to fall in love with soone different. They were to be welcoming their first child in a month and a half, but because soone had so much hate within them, that child will now grow up without his father."

She gestured to the n beside her guest. "Here alongside our guest is Robbie, his dad, and the owner of the Z1 ranch, Zach Spinelli. Arlen, I would like to ask you how the two of you t. Was it love at first sight, or just let us know in your own words."

"Lori, we were set up by so friends—used to be friends," Arlen began, his voice soft but steady. "I t Alec and he was a little bit of a show-boater. I wasn’t taken with him at first. He kind of played the field a little bit too much for , but he was polite in his own way. He called several tis after that initial day. We went and had lattes and brunch every now and then, but there was nothing really there."

Arlen paused, a small smile crossing his face at the mory. "Until one day he confessed that he was head over heels in love with . This definitely shocked —I was expecting maybe a friendship or sothing similar, but not love. The more I tried to dissuade him, the more he pursued ."

"He showed up one ti at my work with so of the most expensive flowers I’d ever seen. I don’t know how much they set him back, but it must’ve been two weeks’ salary at least." Arlen’s eyes grew distant. "Coworkers told to go for it. I hadn’t really dated anyone since I had been working there. Yet we had coffee, we had this, we had tea, we had a light snack, but nothing serious."

"Alec finally broke down and told there was sothing different about , and that’s what he loved about —I was not the garden-variety Nelly Queen. So, I decided if I was going to give myself up to anyone, it would be Alec. Either he could accept for what I was and who I am, or he could leave and we would never talk about this to anyone."

Arlen took a deep breath before continuing with the more intimate details. "The first ti we were alone together at my place, I decided to show him what made different. He’d seen without my shirt, so it was no big deal, except I hadn’t pumped this ti and I was quite swollen in my glands. I stood up, pulled off my shoes, walked three feet out from the couch where he was sitting, and dropped my bottoms. I was going commando, so he saw in all of my glory—or at least what he thought was all my glory."

"He complinted on my anatomy, and when I turned around, he told that was my best part—my beautiful buttocks." Arlen’s voice grew more tender. "I asked if he wanted to see sothing really interesting about —to take his thumb and put pressure right above my hipbone and drag his thumb down to the crack of my buttocks. This caused my vent to pop out, and it was definitely an eye-opening experience for Alec."

"He stood up, ca around and took in his arms and kissed , and he told , ’I knew there was sothing special about you, but I couldn’t put my thumb on it until you told where to put my thumb.’" Arlen’s voice broke slightly. "And he never left . He was by my side until they killed him."

"We were very careful about having sex so that I wouldn’t get pregnant. I knew my cycle dates, I knew everything about my body—we had it marked on the calendar, everything. But one night after an awards banquet, we ca ho and celebrated, and of all tis the condom failed. I knew within seconds after he released his sen inside of that I was pregnant. It was the most joyful pain that I had ever felt in my life."

Arlen looked directly at Lori as he explained. "Lori, when humans and pure-blood Genn have sex for procreation, it takes a step in a different direction. When the sen of the human ets up with the egg of the Genman, it causes an intense burning sensation and it’s quite painful. But if the mate will rub the impregnated party on his stomach to help calm the baby as it develops, the pain goes away followed by the most intense pleasure in the world—called love."

"There are a lot of details that I can’t tell you in this interview at this ti because unless they plead guilty, the GBI has gone for the full extent of the law and there will be a massive trial." Arlen straightened in his chair. "I don’t have anything to hide here. I was raised here on Mr. Zach’s place—this is my ho. Yes, I lived in the city among humans, but this place is my ho. Dad has moved closer since things have happened because his family is here nowadays, and he got a promotion here to assistant construction foreman. This will always be my ho."

"The other day everyone witnessed a traditional Genn funeral. This was afforded to my husband because we were a mated and bonded pair, even though he was human and I a Genman. Our child is a hybrid—he will know nothing but the best of both worlds and the honor shown to his father after he was murdered."

Arlen gestured toward the family plot. "He’s buried in the family plot, but all Genn are regarded with honor whether we die tragically, of old age, or whatever. The funeral procession that you saw, the passing of the casket, is tradition that dates back to pre-tis."

"Here you’ll notice there’s construction going on everywhere. There’s a brand-new Visitor Center, Museum Library, and interactive archives being developed right now. The buildings are up—they’re just finishing with the inside work, and it’s being spearheaded by a wonderful woman, Emma Rich. The gardens that are being developed here, the walkways, everything you see outside this new construction to beautify the place is done by an incomparable landscape architect and designer, Leo Rich, who is her husband."

"Yes, there are regular human couples that live here among us Genn. There are several mixed couples and there’s always babies being born here." Arlen’s voice grew more passionate. "We have so dormitories that—if you rember the underage corporate breeding program—all of those pregnant young Genn are here waiting to give birth, and so have. One even found his dad that he didn’t know existed. We’re not the enemy here. We just wish to coexist. We do not wish to be put back in our bonds of chains and cages like when we were slaves on the ho world and in the transport ship that crashed."
