Larry and Doris were still mostly asleep when they walked to their patio with their coffee. It was Friday morning and as usual their Thursday night had wiped them out. The all you can eat fried fish special was as popular as ever.
As usual after they got home on Thursday night they had headed for their hot tub in the patio. Larry remembered they had found the energy to start a fuck while in it and finished it off in their bed.
In their rush to get to their bed they left the tub uncovered. Children were hovering and swooping over it. Doris just watched them for a while then called their mother.
"Lu, your kids are playing in the thermals of our hot tub again. Yeah, sure, go ahead. We will keep an eye on them."
To Larry she said, "They were about to fuck and she asked us to watch them for her. I am going to fix them strawberry jam cups."
"I will watch them," Larry said.
Larry walked to the bench next to the tub and the twin girls began to include him in their play. Larry loved it and was again wishing they had children.
He and Doris had been to a doctor to see about getting Doris to conceive but learned that it was a very small probability due to the damage from an abortion Doris had undergone after being impregnated by a foster father.
Then he thought, "That was the old Felicity. It is a new town with geniuses all around. Somebody should be able to figure it out.
As Doris returned two little Devl twin girls dove from the top of their fence into the hot tub and two teen redheads chased after them.
"Call Leigh and tell her that her girls and the ones they were supposed to baby sit are here."
"Oh, bother," Doris said and handed him the jam cups as she went back to her phone. Larry saw she was grinning widely. "She still wants to be a mother," he though.
The Sprites sat with him and ate their treat as Leigh's twins tried to capture the Devl twins. It was a funny relationship between the four, the Devl thought of the humans as big sisters and the humans though of the Devl as pain in the ass little sisters. Devl could not shape-shift until they were ten years old. Sehel's twins were just three, they had a lot of energy.
Doris came out with a bowl of fruits and all six girls settled around her. As they ate Doris continued a story she had started on their previous invasion. Ten minutes later the Moms came to our yard, threatened their kids then kissed and hugged them. Doris got in the tub and Sehel, Lu, and Leigh followed her in.
Larry heard Doris ask Sehel who to contact about a medical problem. Since there were no medical problems on Cel Sehel understood and gave her a name. Doris kissed her and as soon as all the fruit was gone so were our visitors.
"We have two hours," Larry said.
"We could go talk to her."
They kissed, dressed, and took the train to Clara. The doctor talked to them between patients and told them that she would look at their old records and call them back.
Late that day the doctor called back and both returned to the city. The Doctor, her name was Pag and she was Akkad, examined Doris and said, "Your first first dose of chicken soup did begin the repairs but since you were classed as healthy there was not enough to complete them. I prescribe 'chicken soup' for twenty one days. Come back in three weeks and we will see where you are."
Doris took her first dose that night.
Three weeks later the doctor said, "That was a very bad job done on you. You are better but it is still unlikely you will get pregnant, perhaps a ten percent chance. Take one dose every every day for twenty one days again and if after that if you are not a lot better I will call in a surgeon from Botanica."
The people of Botanica were not human, not even animals. They did not breath oxygen. Bringing one to Earth would be a very big deal and very expensive.
Larry and Doris had more money than average but not near enough to cover those expenses past their insurance limits. They put their hopes on the soup.
Three weeks later their doctor said, "The extra doses have made some difference. Your chance to conceive have increased to about thirty-five percent.
We could do in vitro now and your chances would increase to seventy percent, but someone else would have to carry the child for you. Your uterus is too scarred to be able to reattach the egg.
Take three months and have sex often as you think about your options then come back and tell me. You two are still young enough we don't need to jump into anything now."
Larry and Doris agreed and left wondering how thirty eight was young enough not to hurry. True, they felt and looked like they were in their mid-twenties so they decided that 'fuck every time you can' was sound medical advice.
They were babysitting twins when their doctor called. "Can you come over now?" She asked.
"No we are baby sitting. Is there a problem?"
"I don't think so. Whose babies?"
