Jim heard his mate come into their home, his hooves clopping on the floor. He wiped his floured hands on his frilly pink apron and poured his mate a drink.
Just as Jim was setting the drink down, his mate, Conluscius, entered the kitchen.
"Ah, there's my beautiful he-wife!" Conluscius gushed. Jim handed him the drink. Conluscius blew a kiss to the baby satyr strapped to Jim's back. "And my handsome son!"
Conluscius, apparently, had a wife not long ago. A dryad, who passed away after giving birth to the baby strapped to Jim's back. As such, when Jim entered the scene, there were already four children to take care of. And soon, there would be six.
Conluscius rubbed Jim's rounded belly.
"Soon, my dear, you'll produce male twins," he said. Jim shrugged.
"I guess." Jim wasn't struggling as much as the others. The others were constantly fighting their mates and running off. Except for David, who had fallen in love with his mate and was already pregnant a second time. Only a month and a half had passed.
But Jim, after running away twice, gave up and decided to be a good role model and parental figure for the kids. They were really sweet and in desperate need of a mother figure. Jim had always liked kids, so he figured he might as well step in. Honestly, the most difficult thing in taking the mother role had been that he had to drink potions to make him lactate to feed the baby. He didn't have breasts from it, just lactating pecs.
Jim didn't even mind that Conluscius was dressing him like a 50s housewife. Dresses nonstop. He kind of...liked it? But he didn't want to explore that feeling yet. He had kids to take care of.
"You are glowing, my dear," Conluscius said as Jim removed the baby from its carrying bag, lowered the top of his dress, and held the baby up to one of his milky nipples. The baby latched on right away and suckled hungrily. "Where are the others?"
"Lyle helped me make the thing that's in the oven. Once it got to the oven part, I sent him off to play with the girls."
"You are the finest he-mother ever," Conluscius gushed. Jim blushed at the compliment. He'd be lying if he said he didn't like being a mother. In fact, when the time came for Mark's third wish, Jim was going to be devastated to leave the kids behind. Unless...
