"Merry Xmas Dave" Albert said as he came up from the boat.
He looked at Dave relaxing with a cool drink in his hand under the Moreton Bay fig tree and grinned "you seemed to have recovered after your long visit with the doctor."
"I wouldn't be too cheeky if I were you" Dave laughed. "I seem to remember hearing you and Salome just a few yards from here last night."
Albert shuffled his feet embarrassed. "You know boss, Salome cried when I told her you said we could live here."
"Last night she told me she would like a baby. She's never talked like that before. She reckons this would be a great place to raise kids."
"Shit, not you to" Dave grunted "everyone who comes here is having a baby or wants a baby."
"Even the doctor's wife wanted a baby last night."
"If all the women who have told me they want babies have babies, I'll need a fucking full scale nursery for my kids."
"Well you can't complain" Albert said "you started it all with your three pregnant wives."
"Yes I did, didn't I," Dave grinned. "I don't know what I'm complaining about I wouldn't have it any other way."
"Are you having it another way" Betsy called. She had both hands under her big belly as she slowly made her way to where David and Albert were sitting.
"I thought there were no other ways left.' She grinned as she flung herself on to David's lap.
Dave was immediately overwhelmed by Betsy's pregnant body. Her musky scent, the softness of her milky breasts, what he called the essence of motherhood that made her body so much more radiant and beautiful Her exuberant cuddles and kisses soon had him responding.
"If you sit in the king chair then you're looking for a cuddle," she explained when David protested and told her to be careful. "Its tradition," she said. "Tradition what bloody tradition?" he asked. "The one we started yesterday," she giggled as she ground her obviously naked bottom against his cock.
"No wonder the markets full of rumours about you and your camp," Granny said as she cleared a space for breakfast.
"Every time I see you, you have a half naked pregnant woman in you arms."
"Their not all pregnant granny," Dave responded with a laugh.
Granny swiped at him with her washing up cloth. "No but they soon will be, if what I saw last night is any indication."
Betsy stood up and waddled over to Granny, "my god" she laughed, "I think you're jealous, you'll have to drag her off into the sack Dave."
Granny swung around, "Don't be bloody silly, I'm too bloody old for that rubbish."
"I've only been here two days. I love this place. I love the company, the feeling of being part of something, of being wanted."
She turned to Betsy, "Dave`s family is probably a better family, a more loving family than most of those who are telling lies about him."
She stood with her hands on her hips as others came out of the barn and gathered around. "As I see it the only threat to our life here is the threat of some busy body causing trouble."
"You know what I mean, getting the council or the government involved." She took a deep breath, "Health inspectors, Boating inspectors, fishing inspectors, immigration inspectors, welfare inspectors, and Tax inspectors. You name it and they have an inspector for it."
"Worse still some newspaper reporter, up here checking up and reporting their twisted version of the life Dave leads." Matron said as she joined the group. "Could you imagine the headlines orgies, harems, sex romps we'd make the international news."
Granny smiled at them all, "Look I'll get down off my high horse. I really think when we have visitors that we should be a little more careful. That's my only worry, I want to live here for ever and mother you all, so don't lets fuck it up:" she said as she strode back into the kitchen.
The stunned silence as she left was shattered immediately.
"What a fabulous xmas eve, "last night was the best I can remember," Jenny said as she wiped the sleep out of her eyes and strolled out into the stunned gathering.
A very pregnant Jenny in the shortest of T shirt come night dresses, swirled around as someone started to laugh and asked with a giggle, "Where's King Dave's seat? I want a cuddle."
Oblivious to the stunned silence she raised the bottom of her dress and scratched her large nude pregnant body. "Are we going to party today?" she asked as she stumbled and fell on Charlies lap.
"Bloody hell!" Dave said as they all laughed. "That's put an end to any more serious discussion today. Let's shift the trestles and help Granny set up for lunch."
"Its going to be bloody forty today," Charlie moaned as he struggled with the weight of the large trestle. The women had decided that it would be cooler to eat Xmas lunch out under the Moreton bay fig tree in the breeze. So the long trestle table had to be dragged out to be set up in the shade.
"As soon as I'm finished I'm going to dive in beside Ruby," Charlie said. They looked over to where Ruby and Annabelle were lying in the water on blow up beds under the large canvas fly. "It looks bloody cool floating around in the shade as the tide floods in," Charlie added.
"I want some of that" Dave agreed as he watched the flooding tide rise quickly.
"I'm glad you cut those extra long saplings to use as tent poles" Dave whispered to Charlie. "That extra height allows more breezes to flow through and has the added advantage that the fly doesn't block our view. We can study the girls while we sit up here."
"Why sit up here," Charlie said as he stood up and started to move. "let's erect the trestles down in the water. Those old wooden stools will do for seats. We can have our first Xmas lunch together in a style we'll never forget."
Charlie's idea was met with all round excitement, except for granny.
