"Okay... okay, that's... that should be enough..."
Wiping my brow and raking a hand through my hair, I stared down at the Bearkin sprawled in the bed and immediately felt a surge of pride at the state I had left her in; she talked a big talk, and she definitely walked a good walk, but apparently she hadn't walked said walk in quite some time...
That is to say she wasn't as 'in shape' as I was despite everything that had happened; when she could set the pace she could go for a long time, but when I set the pace... well, it left her in the state she was in now, which was a state I was immensely proud of.
She was panting, aching, unable to move properly and so very clearly on cloud nine still even as she tried to glower at me, though it was hard to be intimidating now when both her face and her pussy were caked with my cum.
I was still raring to go physically, but emotionally I was spent - all of the dopamine and oxytocin or whatever it was flooding my veins were slowly faltering and no longer being produced, leaving me in a slightly tired yet immensely content state.
So while I was still very much erect I was not wanting to handle that erection the 'normal' way, and Gertrude agreed with me since she made no move to do anything with it like she had before, leaving us in this spot of mutual tiredness and euphoria.
"So I... I think you might need to take off today, yeah..? Cause... well..."
Glancing at the windows, I smiled wryly when I noticed how high the sun had gotten already, and although she tried to put on an angry facade I just kept smiling at her, feeling far too happy about this to give a damn about the idea of work.
"You offering to-"
Before she could even attempt to finish that train of thought I immediately said "We can get a nice breakfast somewhere - or lunch, whichever is more apt - before taking a stroll to just... talk things out. If it really means too much to you I can head out after that and go nab something from the forest real quick."
Gertrude just glowered at me some more before nodding, not putting up a fight on that front and instead beckoning for me to pull her up, the Bearkin shuffling towards the edge of the bed immediately.
"Oh, and... we should probably tell everyone about this, right..? I mean... about us. About..."
I trailed off and gestured at her belly, which was a little swollen right now considering how much 'work' I had been putting in all night and morning long, which earned me another glare as she became even more aware of the weight inside of her.
"Sooner rather than later, yes. For now... get me up. I need to clean myself before anything else..."
Of course I also just couldn't help it, what with the big bad Bearkin being in this defenseless state... she looked too damn cute and needed me so much to just move around since her knees and hips were weak right now, so helping her over to her bathroom was just...
Yeah, I couldn't help myself, and it became apparent that our appetites matched since she didn't even complain when I held her against the wall and smacked my hips into her ass, the Bearkin taking all of me yet again before having me massage all of her as I helped her into the bath.

"It is rather difficult to not pick favorites, no? Some of them are just too..."
Beside me, Demetra let out a sigh and continued to shift her attention between three things; myself, all of the children, and the clouded mirrors that floated overhead displaying the current activities of our favorite mortal and her family.
She was obviously focused on the mirrors right now, but I saw how she looked down at the children too when she said that, making me frown before I reluctantly nodded when she raised a brow at me, like she was daring me to lie.
"Don't feel bad about it. It just comes with the territory is all. Quality over quantity doesn't mean you dislike quantity. I love them all, but I am not going to spend years with all of them. A benefit of Goddesses though is that I don't need to."
To that end she was right; most of the Goddesses in front of us - the children - could age immediately if they so chose, but right now they were still learning about themselves, about their siblings and about what they wanted, so they were 'stuck' for the time being.
We were similar to mortals in that regard, but it was a process that was expedited by a myriad of reasons to last maybe a week before they were fully functioning, completely grown Goddesses; unlike the people we were watching, I didn't need to 'coddle' them for a month or two before continuing to guide them for longer.
"Anyways, it would seem that we are lucky with many things. The others are all being slow about everything, and the worst of them are being... bogged down with personal problems. Woe is them."
The twinkle in Demetra's eyes was a little concerning, though when I looked into why I just smiled wryly and relaxed some more, happy to know that things could play out a little more naturally now instead of being... rushed.
"Time is valuable, is it not? How we spend it even more so... and I believe she has been spending it well. It could always be better, but seeing her like that... is it not warming to the heart~? She's taken after you so well..."
Giving me a peck on the cheek, Demetra slowly melted away some of my pettiness before retreating as she took what she could, the Goddess of Life going forwards to bask in the wonders of the children in front of us while also clearly loving what was happening to the mortal we so cherished.
