They aren\u2019t the only Poyun who want to go. Dallas mentioned that even though it is arranged at short notice, many of stalls will be set up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He told us that it is due to the fact that news is spreading of Aaron and his mates return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For that reason, the trio would have to be accompanied by a group of guards where ever they go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He offered me the same, after all, I am technically the original. But my mates and father alike made it known that they would personal look after me, not to mention Dax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think for this reason &#8211; along with my brother\u2019s sudden clinginess to me &#8211; Aaron, Lance, and Lula won\u2019t be far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dallas set up a large area separate from the main area outside the ship for the VIPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, the area is for his family or I guess I should say our family and the Poyun crew &#8211; Dax and Blake included. Monet is allowed in too as he had stayed the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that is where I am right now, sat speaking to Xuina and Ren. Both are sat on their mates laps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blake completely adores Xuina and is clearly upset about hurting her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe refuses to join with me in case he hurts me,\u201d She tells us, not shy at all about sharing personal details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt least, for the next week, he should not,\u201d Ren tells her. \u201cWe have to see if you will cap first. Then we will assess you again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She didn\u2019t seem too happy about this but agreed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything is going great. My mates keep trying to feed me and Lenime keeps putting his hand up my skirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a special children\u2019s area where the different children can mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think Kraysa and Willow might be mates,\u201d I say thinking out loud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat?\u201d Dallas and the others are looking in the direction of the children\u2019s play area where the two are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was actually thinking the same,\u201d Koya admits and Steph nods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe doesn\u2019t generally socialize well outside the family. So imagine my surprise when he approached her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf that is the case we should speak to them.\u201d Dallas is already ready to go but Ty stops him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe is safe with our daughter if they are mates,\u201d He reassures him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur children age fast until fifteen to sixteen at which time they reach adulthood, their aging slows and are capable of joining. They can tell if a person is their mate, but not complete the mating before that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another interesting fact learned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf they are it will mean regular visits until the mating\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are adorable together. Another boy approach them and Willow hugs her to his side, glaring to the other innocent kid. It is kind of funny, Willow was the same height as her now but before long she will be taller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe is definitely her mate. He is super possessive,\u201d I laugh watching the scene. He doesn&#8217;t even seem to like sharing her with his twin sister, who he looks to have told to go away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are very fortunate to have found your planets. It has only happened several of times before Amber, which our people found mates outside our own species.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I switch off as soon as Dax arrives with a collection of cakes for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am so lucky to have such lovely people around me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWant to escape and pig out with me? I brought some fried chicken.\u201d My eyes widen not noticing the large bag earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes,\u201d Lenime answers for me. \u201cShe is due to have medication now.\u201d Without another word, he picks me off Phe\u2019s lap and heads towards the ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI guess we\u2019re going.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dax laughs. \u201cDon\u2019t worry. I brought more than enough.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phe whispers something to Kiy before quickly catching up to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhere are we going?\u201d I ask noticing we are going in a direction I haven\u2019t been before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They have given me tours of the ship before, but they are the main areas mostly. Similar to the tours they are giving to people throughout the day today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSomewhere we won\u2019t be interrupted by visitors.\u201d I am going to ask why not our quarters but stop myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am excited to see a new area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLen!\u201d I hit his hand which is between my legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut it missed me and it is only Dax and us now,\u201d He argues, making the large black man laugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy button,\u201d He continues to rub and purr in my ear as we walk to a lift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phe doesn\u2019t stop him, instead, he is stroking my thigh and the action is making them both hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStop it both of you.\u201d I push their hands away. \u201cYou will get carried away and I am not joining with you in front of Dax.\u201d Phe opens his mouth but I cut him off. \u201cAnd you are not sending him away. He is our friend and family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dax sends me a happy and grateful smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFine,\u201d Phe sulks. \u201cI want to marry you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat?\u201d That is a sudden change of subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLike they do in the movies,\u201d He explains. \u201cLenime and I decided last night we will speak to Dallas and get married. The three of us in a Human ceremony.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou decided?!\u201d I ask in disbelief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can\u2019t help but glare and try to wriggle out of my mate\u2019s arms, but he held me fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStop. You will hurt yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPut me down!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They stop walking and look me over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s not hurt, guys,\u201d Dax tells them understanding what my mates obviously can\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s angry at you both.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAngry?\u201d They both look at me in a panic. I hate it. Why I am angry again?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat did we do?\u201d Phe sounds pained and Lenime Removes his hand from between my legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI will not do it again if it upsets you that much, my love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, goodness. Why do they have to be so sweet?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next thing I know I am crying and my brother is yelling at my mates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where the hell did he come from?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat the hell did you do to my sister?!\u201d He barks out. Marmite is in his arms dressed in a full bodysuit with hood, made of the same material as the Poyun\u2019s clothes and matching mittens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only his tiny little face is peeping out from the hood. His little eyes are shining a bright violet colour &#8211; which apparently is their natural colour &#8211; after Ren gave him some special eye drops which repaired his eyes almost completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That reminds me, what happened with that bitch, which was supposed to be looking after him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My tears stop as my mind wanders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey told her they were getting married,\u201d Dax explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aaron looks confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey didn\u2019t ask.\u201d Realisation crosses their faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDo you not want to marry us?\u201d Lenime looks a little glossy eyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI do.\u201d They look more confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI do not understand. Why were you mad and upset then?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBecause a girl likes to be asked. And crying\u2026 Because I upset you both.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dax is holding back a laugh looking at both my mate&#8217;s perplexed expressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know about pregnant Poyun women, but pregnant Human women are notorious for having quick fluctuating emotions and often crying for no reason.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I glare at my brother. \u201cWhat are you doing here?\u201d I ask annoyed. Maybe he is right about my emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMidget and I noticed you were gone and so we decided to come and find you.\u201d He and Marmite have become inseparable in the short time they\u2019ve known one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe wanted to show you his new outfit.\u201d He holds Marmite out and the baby squeals happily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoesn\u2019t he look perfect?\u201d He grins looking at his son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJust between us, I have decided I am going to try to convince Lula to have another baby. I miss having a house full of babies. But between her and you and I am sure we can make that happen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My mates are nodding their heads vigorously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWill you marry us, love?\u201d Phe asks changing the subject back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes! I want nothing more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seconds later I am being hugged and licked by the pair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aaron makes a lewd comment but I choose to ignore it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat the\u2026\u201d I turn my head to see Aaron holding Marmite out and above my head. \u201cCare to tell me what you are doing?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMe?\u201d He says innocently pulling the baby back to his chest. \u201cNothing. Midget wanted a kiss too and I was just doing what any good dad would and helping my son.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHave I told you I love you recently?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He grins, showing me all his pearly white teeth. \u201cProbably. But it\u2019s always good to hear. Especially from someone you love back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat is this place?\u201d Lenime walks into a large &#8211; No, correction, giant room, bigger than a football field. It is empty except two large holes in the floor. One looked to be about one meter deep and the second, three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPools?\u201d Aaron asks excitedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOf sorts,\u201d Phe answers cryptically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey are for livestock. Marine livestock. But they have never been used. No one ever comes down here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhy not?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn truth, I am not entirely certain. But we have never had any need for them,\u201d He explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Cycla, the produce we grow and other foods we pick up on the planets along our way have been enough.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lenime sits me on a bench type seat running along one side of the room, but Phe picks me up and sits me on his lap, placing his hands on my abdomen, stroking it lovingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lenime approaches a Cycla panel and returns a moment later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He placing my pills in my mouth and pouring me a drink in one of the glasses his has brought from the machine. I accept it without question. He smiles and presses a kiss to my head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My brother is watching with a smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dax holds out the bag of food and everyone takes some, other than Marmite of course. But he keeps on sticking his tongue out like his is trying to lick it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo way, Midget,\u201d Aaron chuckled holding it out of reach. \u201cIt\u2019s not healthy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhy do you call the youngling that name? Is it a nickname as such Amber told us about?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHmm?\u201d Aaron looks up. \u201cOh, yes. It is a nickname for a tiny person, like my baby. Hence, Midget.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI like that,\u201d Lenime smiles. \u201cPerhaps we should call you it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dax fights back a laugh and Aaron almost chokes on his food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou call me that and I won\u2019t speak to you for a month.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think it\u2019s safe to say he won\u2019t be calling me that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut why do you not like it? Many of our men would adore a mate as small and delicate as you to take care of.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I stare at Phe blankly. \u201cThat maybe so. But it isn\u2019t going to change my mind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAlright, my love. We will not call you that if it makes you unhappy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGood. Now let\u2019s eat. This chicken is great, Dax.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI thought you would like it,\u201d He says with a smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aaron began questioning him about his mate. Dax said he has been looking but has yet to find her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMay I ask you a question, sir?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCall me Aaron, and yes, feel free to ask me anything you would like.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My mates are now feeding me cakes, one bite for them and one for me, licking me every now and then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYour mates, Lance, and Lula,\u201d Dax look nervous about asking, completely different from the normal confident man he is. \u201cWhy do they keep staring at me but never speak?\u201d He asks, but then quickly adds, \u201cHave I done something to offend them?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNot at all. They like you,\u201d Aaron quickly reassures him. \u201cThey are just nervous about meeting you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marmite is becoming a little restless and so Aaron gently rocked him in his arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNervous about meeting me? Why? They are originals, I should be the nervous one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey are your ancestor,\u201d Phe tells him casually just before the panel on the wall began buzzing, indicating an incoming call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHow do they know we\u2019re down here?\u201d I think out loud as Phe places me on his brother\u2019s lap and stands up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEach room has sensors which can sense and distinguish different people\u2019s life signs,\u201d He explains before going to the panel and talking to someone. I can\u2019t hear what is being said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAncestor? But\u2026 I\u2019m black.\u201d I could almost laugh at Dax\u2019s expression but I stop myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe last several centuries or so, yes, it would appear your ancestors were of darker skin. But before that your great, great, great, great grandmother &#8211; there might be more greats, I\u2019m not sure. But she was white and she was Lance and Lula\u2019s first daughter, they had before I met them and everything happened. But she was as much a daughter to me too. She called me Papa and I loved her.\u201d Aaron looks a little teary eyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe was amazing, you would have loved her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut\u2026\u201d Dax is in shock. \u201cAre you sure?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCertain. And that means you are Dallas\u2019s cousin and Midget\u2019s nephew.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aaron hold the baby out in Dax\u2019s face and I can\u2019t help but giggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSay hello to your Uncle Marmite, Dax.\u201d Marmite squeals happily, wiggling in Aaron\u2019s hands. Dax is unable to stop a grin from taking over his face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHello, little man. It\u2019s good to know you.\u201d He gently takes the baby\u2019s hand and shakes it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEeee,\u201d Marmite squeals again, this time drooling all over Aaron and Dax\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love how much happier he is today. He is like a new baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat means he likes you. You should see the look he gives some of the house guards,\u201d Aaron laughs. \u201cIt is downright scary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll take your word for that,\u201d Dax says rubbing his hand on his trouser leg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSpeaking of like\u2026\u201d Aaron holds Marmite out to me with a pout and says in a baby voice, \u201cMidget would love to have his favourite aunt to give him some of her delicious milky\u2026 Please?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m his only aunt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSee favourite.
