Pear woke up quite satisfied, and so did I. I thought she’d want a morning quickie for good asure, but she was much more interested in having breakfast. So, she stuck around, eating fruit when Prima had co with my morning fire at. Yes, it’s kind of heavy having only at every morning, but I have to be grateful that I get anything.
The table was full of goblins, and I couldn’t be happier to have a dedicated place to sit and chat.
Lily and Vera were sitting on either side of , Prima sat across from with Jewel next to her, while Truffle and Pear sat a bit away. The latter two traded food, two juicy fire mushrooms for one of the juicy apples she had brought last night.
Berry had dropped by with Diana, and we were quickly running out of space at my new table!
Pear didn’t lie. Those two were good friends by the look of how they were interacting. I offered Diana a piece of fire at, and she chewed it for a while before swallowing it, seeming rather uninterested in it in the end. Well, if she’s going to grow into being a strong goblin, she probably needs the heavy nutrients found in bloody at. I live by the principle of at least trying sothing new once.
Vera opened her mouth as well, prompting to give her a piece, though whether she liked it or not was debatable. I think what she wanted was my attention more than anything else, and I made sure to give her so. Lily had her own piece of fire at she was eating, and I had explained to all the goblins gathered that I was going to be watching Diana for a good portion of the day so Berry could take a break.
Every single goblin present looked at with wide eyes, save for Berry.
Aside from the revelation that I could use land magic to remodel cave-holes into proper rooms, I don’t think they really expected more from than only being used to give them big seed.
Welp, ti to show off what a capable dad I can be.
I don’t expect it to be easy, so aside from a potential planned interlude with Vera should Diana take a mid-day nap, I was going to reserve myself from fucking anyone else until tonight. Tomorrow I will make sure to take care of all interested parties.
Lily was a bit disappointed, but she clearly intended to have an appointnt with at breakfast tomorrow. Berry gave a hug and passed Diana to before leaving. All the other goblins departed after she did, leaving Vera, myself, and my daughter alone in the breeding room.
It hadn’t been long since she was born, a little over a week, but Diana was big. If I had to compare her size with a human, she looked to be about two years old or just a little bit older now. I don’t know if this is a trait unique to her due to how she was conceived and born in a single day, or if it was normal growth developnt for goblins, and I doubt Vera here was going to give any kind of detailed answer at length, so I guess I would need to learn about my daughter.
Turning her around in my lap, I wondered if she could even speak words yet.
“Hello, Diana. Do you know who I am?”
She nodded.
With a finger leveled at , my cute little goblin daughter called “Husband.”
Uh. I an, technically that’s not wrong. Berry doesn’t know my real na, and everyone in the tribe calls Husband, so I an…
“I am your daddy. Do you know who your mommy is?”
“Berry.”
“Oh, very good! Do you know your na?”
She nodded.
“Diana Artemis.”
Wow, she’s able to even say her whole na already!
“Did your mommy tell you why you are here with today?”
Diana shook her head.
“We’re going to play gas today, while Mommy rests.”
Diana stuck out her tongue at . I looked at Vera, who was staring at Diana and holding her stomach. Ah, she’s having a mont of self-assessnt. Yep, you can bla Vera. You’re going to have one of those in a few months.
“Vera. Let’s put so of your magic to use.”
“Diana?” Vera asked.
“Yep, we’re going to make a few things for all of us to play with!”
Using the bone I got from Ivory for drawing so runes on the ground, I made a few shapes that would rise up and harden once mana was supplied to it. I had Vera do the activations, and in short order we had a pile of building blocks.
Diana, bless her chompy soul, was a destructive one.
Everything I built, she knocked over. But she was having fun and growling toothily, so it was all in good spirits. She tried building a few things herself eventually, but they didn’t really have any substance or design to them. She was just stacking blocks to eventually knock over herself to the satisfying sound of them crashing down.
I had made a few more things for us to play with. One of them was a beanbag toss… sort of. Basically I made a few square buckets with different sizes, and then made a few compact balls of dirt. With that, I drew a line on the ground and stood behind it, then lobbed one of the balls so that it would land in one of the buckets. The dirt balls were more than light enough for Diana to pick up and throw, think of it like a golf ball.
I drew another line on the ground closer to the buckets for Diana to stand behind and had her throw the balls into them. She seed to understand the objective after seeing do it, and had great hand-eye coordination. After about ten turns with six balls, she was able to throw them into the buckets I would point to with about eighty five percent accuracy, I’d say. Well above what I expected her to be able to do. So, since she was having fun, I moved the line further back, and back, and back until she was at the original line I used. I wasn’t as good as her, to be honest. But I also wasn’t a great sportsman in either my previous life or my current. I’d played basketball and baseball in PE class when I went to school in my previous life, but I wasn’t really a competitive sportsman. Sad to report, I was more interested in video gas.
Incidentally, Vera also seed interested in trying, but she was completely NG.
Welp, she’s a wizard, so it’s best to leave her to gas that challenge her intelligence over her physical prowess. I’ll raise her up well, too. But not today. Today is all about my daughter and giving her mother a day off.
We took a snack break after the toss ga, and had so of the fruit that Pear had left to . Diana seed to like it, which if eating berries was similar to fruit, would have been a natural thing, considering who her mother is. Vera also ate her fruit… ssily. I need to teach her table manners at so point.
After the break, I had a great idea for another ga. I drew all the magical runes I had been teaching Vera inside of small dirt squares and made duplicates of each of them. Vera used her mana to harden them into flat pieces each having a rune on them. I scrambled them up and made the match ga happen.
Let say this clearly… I suck at gas of mory. But again, today is not about . It’s about having fun with my daughter, and seeing how she’s developing. Vera was a lifesaver to have here with , and she also took a great interest in the ga, to the point I had to make sure she wasn’t cheating.
Those two were neck and neck on each and every ga, with Vera winning as much as Diana. Vera had a good mory, but Diana had more instinct or pure luck in drawing the right squares with the matching runes. Either way, they played so many gas that I didn’t even know Berry had co back into the breeding cavern.
Turns out it was just a bit of motherly worry. Berry wasn’t worried about Diana so much as she was worried Diana would run ragged. Berry had sat down with us and was proudly cheering her daughter on as Diana won yet another ga from Vera.
It then beca an accidental ga of rivalry then, with Vera dragging over to her team.
Well, as long as it’s friendly, it’s okay.
I took the chance to ask Berry about making so blue water, in exchange for the bone I got which let make this ga with Vera’s help, so she agreed to prepare so, but that it would take a couple of days. After losing two more gas in a row even with helping, Vera quit. I didn’t think she’d be a sore loser, but maybe it was sothing else?
Since Berry was here, I asked Diana if she wanted to show her mommy how good she was at throwing the dirt balls into the bucket. Berry looked on and was quite astonished to see her daughter’s accuracy.
“Diana Artemis be great huntress.”
“Think so, too? She’s got a good mory and instinct.”
“Maybe… teach Diana pick berries not smart? Maybe ask Prima teach how hunt more soon.”
“No. Right now is the ti for her to have plenty of love from her family.”
“Love? What that?”
I sighed. I guess… it’s not sothing goblins know.
“Love is the greatest care you can give another person. You want to be with them and you both try to make each other better, stronger, smarter, and happier.”
“Husband… love Diana Artemis?”
“Of course. Husband loves both Berry and Diana.”
“Other goblins too?”
“I’m sure over ti I will co to love more goblins. Maybe not all of the goblins here, but even if I don’t love them, I won’t treat them poorly. Especially not the strong ones they have.”
I pulled Berry close and hugged her.
“We’re fine here, so you can go relax more if you want to.”
“Can… Berry stay?”
“Sure. I just thought you would like a little ti to yourself. I know how hard you are working, trying to raise our daughter.”
With Berry sticking around, I pestered Vera for one more ga to be made from the dirt. Ten small dirt cylinders as pins and a bigger dirt ball. I made a bowling lane with side bumpers so there wouldn’t be gutter balls. All four of us took turns sending the ball rolling down the lane to knock over the compacted dirt pins.
There is not a person alive who doesn’t find bowling fun. I often played it on the weekends in my previous life, and while I’d never managed a score past two hundred, just playing it was a great way to waste ti. I often played with my older sister who wanted to unwind and drink a lot when she was able to leave her kids with our parents or a sitter.
Diana, again, was an extrely competitive child. I would need to think of more gas in the future to make for her to better develop her thinking and motor skills. But thankfully she’s still a child, and her internal battery is like one in a brand new smartphone. It lasts a long ti at first, but once it hits zero percent, out like a light she goes.
Berry decided she had spent enough ti with , and by she I an Diana, not Berry, though it was kind of the sa thing. I brought the rune mory match pieces with as we walked back to her room, and carefully put them in a corner outside of the bedroom for Diana to play with on her own in the living room whenever she wanted.
As for Berry…
Well, we have already sealed the deal. Now that she could get it again, she wanted more loving from , and I just couldn’t bring myself to say no to my baby mama.
I returned back to the breeding cavern to find Vera having made a duplicate of the mory match ga and she was giving a grand idea for a ga we could play with just us, magician and disciple. A magical version of the ga Scrabble. It would be formula magic spells that we connected with little squares with runes carved on them.
It went over very well with her.
Prima had co in to visit, bringing so extra food for both of us. I was deep in a match with Vera, but since the breeding room had been partially converted through land magic, I let Prima believe that Jewel had been present. I explained the ball toss and the bowling lane, to which Prima had experintally tried both. She was better than Diana, but that was to be expected. She was the guardian of the goblin tribe and by all accounts the best hunter among them.
But well, you can only have so much fun alone, and I was in a heated ga with Vera who was actually giving a run for my money. Prima had co to the table where Vera and I were sitting and playing and she was looking on with curiosity. I explained this was a ga where the markings had to be placed in a certain way to make special words, and that Vera was playing really well.
Vera ended up winning by shutting out of being able to place any further pieces and I was more happy that she won over the fact that I had lost.
“Want!”
Vera had grabbed and dragged and Prima over to the raised bed. I guess I was in for a penalty ga. There were two goblin sisters waiting for to pay up. Prima didn’t seem to mind being roped into her little sister’s ploy, and so I had a grand old ti with so goblin sisters who couldn’t be more different.
I would be seeing the sun tomorrow, Prima inford after our coitus. I wonder how lazy guard was doing with her exercise practice? Was she keeping up?
Prima’s belly had gotten a tiny bit bigger and I had given it a kiss before she left.
I had Vera help deconstruct the ball-toss setup, but since the bowling lane was against a far wall and mostly out of the way, I left that alone. I had decided to renovate this cave slowly, to make it an inviting place for everyone of the girls who wanted to co visit. I couldn’t fuck them all at the sa ti, but at least they would be entertained.
Honestly, the freedom they had to just share so publicly was hard to accept sotis.
They were far more possessive over their things than .
But that’s fine. There was plenty I had to give them, especially for the ones who were good to afterwards.
Also, I wasn’t going to be picking a goblin tonight.
Prima had sothing she wanted, and she was willing to pull rank to get it.
