Elunara sat on the platform, drawing her little hand off.
Gerald sat beside her with a sigh. "Help meeee." He groaned.
"What now?"
"Chrissy wants a baby."
"Uhhh, not my job. Are you having trouble completing?"
"No. It's Chrissy. She's driving me mad. Ever since she got in on the baby craze, she's been doing everything she can and moaning over it not working."
"How long have you been trying?"
"A month."
Elunara paused and rolled her eyes. "Uh, that's not nearly enough time."
"You think I haven't TRIED to tell her that?" He rubbed his crotch with a wince. "She left bruises on me last night."
Elunara put a hand on his shoulder and shot him with energy.
He blinked. "Uh, thanks."
"I have two husbands... I learned a couple of tricks."
"Anyway, she's been trying to "stack the deck" and has been asking people all kinds of crazy personal questions, including trying to get me to... compare my junk, to other men. If she doesn't get knocked up soon, I might just kill myself and save the misery."
"You're an idiot."
"Why am I the idiot?"
"Send her to me. I HAVE all those embarrassing personal details. I have details she hasn't even thought of, AND I can recommend sexual positions that may or may not work, but they'll certainly spice things up."
"Yeah, I'm an idiot. Why didn't I think of that?"
Elunara reached out and patted his leg. "Because you're stressed. Also, I need to tell her that stressing makes her life more difficult..." She tapped her chin. "Send her my way, dear. I'll handle it from there."
Elunara opened the door and smiled at Chrissy. "Come on in. Gerald said you were looking for some advice on getting knocked up."
"Ugh, we've been trying and trying and it's just not WORKING!"
"How long have you been trying?"
"Well, actively trying for about a month..."
"A month? Honey, a month is nothing in the start of a pregnancy. Most healers can't even detect a pregnancy until it's in the early third month. Sensitive ones can give you at two."
"But, we've had SO much sex since we've been together, and I'm not pregnant yet!"
"You do realize that babies are brewed in the front, right?"
Chrissy rolled her eyes. "Of course."
"Just checking... with your preferences... ya never know."
Chrissy sighed. "I'm not stupid."
"Didn't say you were. I do have to tell you, stressing about this is just going to make your life more difficult. Most women I've talked to got pregnant when they weren't even trying. And women who want to get pregnant are less likely to when they're stressed out about something. Pushing yourself so hard, won't help anyone."
"But, I just want it so badly..."
"What did I teach you last time?"
"Relax, breathe, feel."
"Exactly. Now, Gerald said you wanted some... personal information?"
"Yeah..." Chrissy fidgeted. "I was just trying to understand how we... stack up."
"Alright. Before I let you in my library, you must SWEAR to me, that all information I give you will be kept to yourself. I hear you utter a SINGLE piece of information and there will be hell to pay!"
Chrissy nodded. "I swear."
Later, Elunara leaned against the door. "Remember to hit up Ina, see if she can recommend you a sensitive, one who specializes in pregnancies and babies. You'll need her later anyway."
"Alright! Thank you!"
A week later, Elunara stared at Chrissy and Gerald. "You want me to what?" She put her hand over her mouth.
"Well, Mayby told me that sometimes guys have trouble with the quality of what they're putting out. At first I was going to just ASK you, but then Gerald said that he came in your ass, so you wouldn't even know. So, I figured I'd just get him to give you a sample and you could judge."
Elunara eyes flicked to the brilliant red Gerald, before going back to Chrissy. "You're taking advice from MAYBY?"
"Well, she has two, and a third on the way, I thought I'd ask if she had any secrets. And since you've seen a LOT of guys stuff, including the ones that have kids, then you'd be the best one to judge."
Elunara smacked her forehead. "First, don't take advice from Mayby. Ever. Second, if I DO this, will you stop harassing the poor man?"
"She'll just find something else to humiliate me with." He muttered.
"He cannot possibly perform under these conditions, Chrissy."
"Yeah, but you're really good at getting men to do what you want."
"Please just kill me."
"But you said you would."
"I said I would talk to her, I didn't say I'd actually DO anything with her."
"For me?"
"Chrissy, by the light you are dense." Elunara sighed. "You cannot make a humiliated man perform. Unless that's his kink. You're not going to get very far like this."
"Wouldn't matter anyway." Gerald muttered.
Elunara eyed Gerald. "Why?"
"I married HER, not YOU." He gave a shaky shrug. "I don't care what our past is."
Elunara blinked. "I'll be damned. I'd never have pegged you for the type."
Chrissy looked back and forth. "What type?"
Gesturing to Gerald, Elunara laughed. "What you have here, is a genuine faithful. You got a rare gem here. He won't cheat on you, even if you tell him to."
