Meanwhile on Earth....As Maya's fleet sailed onward, Confederate President Chloe Landry announced the completion of six new Lee-Class battlecruisers, The CSS Jeb Stuart, the CSS Buckner, CSS Longstreet, CSS Jeff Davis, the CSS Kentucky, and the CSS Alabama. with plans for several more in the works, and in fact the keel had already been lain for the CSS Landry named for herself, the CSS Texas, CSS Louisiana, and CSS Georgia.

Naturally the Confederate states of America having a monopoly on space power had made foreign nations more than a little uneasy, but due to the Xian threat, resources had been pooled, technology shared, and while the other nations didnt currently have the infrastructure to build a Lee Class battlecruiser entirely on their own, with the help of Confederate factories turning out the parts, China announced the Tsun Tsu would be ready for launch next week, Russia's Vasillev, would be launching later today, and the UK had reported the Queen Elizabeth would be ready by the end of the month. Of course, given the Confederacy had the most space experience, and the most experience meeting the many alien cultures the mammilians had to offer, and it was really impressive how far humanity had come in such a short time. The simple undeniable threat of annihilation at the hands of the Xians had really brought the nations together to meet the new threat.

Meanwhile....

It was morning in the fleet, as the ships had long since synced their chronometers to Excalibur standard time for the sake of simplicity and logistics. Maya joined her senior staff at the usual table in the mess hall for breakfast.

"Admiral, I think we should have our own fun night, just us girls."Karen suggested.

"Yeah that could be fun." Kayla agreed.

"Not 's much fun sence yer pregnant though." Maya said, swallowing before she spoke.

"It could be." Karen countered, "I mean everyone, all females from all ships... like what Tom, Hank, and the other boys did."

"I will NOT be drinking, even if I was not pregnant." Molly added.

"Come on, Admiral, let's do this." Erika added.

"Yer the last person Ah'd expect t' ask that." Maya said. "Alright, yer on."

"It will not be /exactly/ the same." Karen added, "Yes I am sure you and May and possibly a few others will probably have a belching or farting contest, but other than that it will be a lot of fun."

"Good." Maya said. Soon's we're done here, Erika, git on fleetwide an pass the word, party'll be in the rec lounge, starts soon's ever'one arrives." she paused, then "An' be shure they know attendance is mandatory."

"Yes ma'am." Erika replied.

"Ok since I have no choice but to attend, I expect to hear some juicy details." Molly said.

"Ah reckon they'll be no shortage a' that." Maya replied.

................................

Following breakfast, Erika made the calls, and at last everything was set for the party to begin by 1100 hours.

There was all manner of party foods, both human and Canid alcoholic beverages, Beer, wine, and spirits alike.

Admiral Maya wore a very skimpy outfit rather than her Admiral's fatigues. For many, it felt strange seeing their Admiral wearing only super short cut ''Daisy Duke" type shorts, or rather the Canid equivalent anyway, and a super thin ''see through'' type tank-top, aside from her dogtags, and her collar that is. She was currently lounging on a large Canid sofa, with a bottle of Canid Whiskey, waiting for everyone to arrive.

To start things off, a tall blonde woman from the CSS Lee suggested a game of strip -poker, upon learning that Maya had given orders to lock the doors once everyone arrived to prevent male intrusion.

"Or we could play Who would you rather?" Kayla suggested.

"Ah'd suggest "Ah never done that." Kaci chimed in, "But Ah got a feelin there ain't nothin the Admiral ain't done."

"We kin always watch a dirty movie." May suggested.

"We'll git t' that later." Maya said. "T' be clear Ah want ever'one t' feel comfer'ble here." Maya said."Fer the duration a' the party rank's no issue, jus' a bunch a' girls havin' a good tahme."

the others "agreed" but some seemed more comfortable than others with the prospect.

"What about spin the bottle?" Grace asked.

"There are too many of us." a short stocky woman replied. "Spin the bottle is for small groups."How about "Confess a kink."?" she paused. then, "I'll go first....I find nipple pinching incredibly erotic."

"Ah lahk that game." Maya said. "Ah'm in t' pretty much anythin, s' lets see..."Ah really love hotsauce on anal toys...the burn 's incredibly good."

"I love urethral sounding." Karen chimed in.

"Whoa, slow down." the short woman broke in. "You are supposed to wait for comments such as, "I never tried hotsace...ouch...it hurts just thinking about it."

"I tried urethral play once, and it really hurt." Kayla commented. "Never tried hotsauce anal toys."

"Enemasex." May said. "Wet an' wild." she paused seeing the mixed reactions, most being negative, and took a nip of her drink before adding "Ah aint in t' diapers 'er any a' that adult-baby stuff, but bein full a' water an' gittin rode hard....that;s amaxin."

"That sounds gross." Dawn replied. "I really like knots."

That got a lot of stares from many of the human girls, while several others joined the canids' general consensus of "Who doesn't"

"Honeypies." Tina added. "The scent, the taste, the feel....and so pleasing to look at."

"Lahk this." Maya said, unzipping the pie-pocket of her skimpy shorts (type of shorts as to why it unzips) to reveal her huge (Y) vulva for all those who didn't understand what Tina meant.

"Fuck, that's huge...but yeah, Ah lahk 'em too." Kaci replied.

"You a Honeysniffer then?" Tina asked. "You like girls?"

"Ah'm pansexual actually." Kaci replied.

"Passionate anal." Grace went next. "On top of your mate so you can look into eachother's eyes as you make love"

Her description made many people lustful, imagining how good that must be.

To everyone's surprise, it was a human woman, the Lee's first officer Dana, who commented on that one; "Yeah, especially when your lover has a knot."

"Jack was bragging about her." Dixie explained. "My other same age brother. Me, Grace, Daniel, and Jack are from the same litter."

It was slow going at first, but as people drank a bit, they started to open up more.

Eventually Maya expanded the game to any sort of confession at all, and kicked it off with "Ah mooned the queen a' the Canid empire 'fore."

"We were there." Kayla said. "Anyway, I goosed Molly and made Ashley get blamed for it"

"Ah got ya back though." Ashley said. "s' fer kinks, Ah love size diffeence...tiny males mos'ly."

"Being the center of attention." Molly said next. "I get off on being treated like a princess."

Most people drank beer or wine as they told their secrets, but some like Maya were hitting the hard stuff pretty good already. Many people had begun to show signe of feeling the effects, but Maya wasn't one of them. She had gotten so involved in the discussions however, she hadn't bothered to zip up her shorts, until Doc Natalie pointed out ''Yoor Honeypie's showin, lass".

"I pissed myself laughing once." Callie confessed. (Tom was watching her newborn pups as attendance was mandatory.) "We're shopping in a black market bazaar on a nasty little rock in the Lakosi asteroid belt...a small star system orbiting one of the stars in what Earth starmaps refer to as the constellation Orion. Anyway we were shopping as I mentioned, and one of the more shady shopkeepers kept trying to peddle his wares despite Maya explaining repeatedly we were not interested. Guy comes back again with some tough looking ruffians...My hand goes to my sidearm in preparation for a confrontation, but it didn't happen. anyway the funny part was, the guy finally made a deal. He bet Maya she couldn't drink a glass of extra strength Canid moonshine from the stall next door without making a face. He even pays for the drink. Of course Maya agrees. anyway, Maya downed the drink like it was nothing, ripped this huge noisy fart, and told the guy "Pussies wouldn' know strong drink if'n y' drown in it...Ah drank water with more kick'n that." the guy not only backed off, he and his cronies all popped their glands and ducked low in their stall trying to hide their embarassment. As you can imagine I laughed my ass off, as did a few others with us, but I laughed so hard I actually pissed myself."

"The pleasure planet Aphrodite III." Karen said. "I didn't really want to go, but Hank insisted taking me to a fancy Canid restaraunt. We were in orbit anyway as Maya had a lead that our mission target frequented one of the more sleezy Heat-Brothels.

"It was not so much funny as it was priceless." Karen continued. "First, after we had placed our orders.... (I had read the menus for Hank as they were in Canid)... one of the waiters brings us a fat juicy hambone to gnaw and clean our teeth for the meal to come. Hank tries not to make a scene as I explain what it was for, but the look on his face was priceless. The rest of the meal was uneventful, and very enjoyable, but to this day I haven't been able to get Hank to give that a try."

"Tom woulda' thought nothin of it." Maya commented.

"I've used spare control crystals as sex toys." Tina confessed.

'' Me too." Erika commented. "I'm no engineer, mind you, but there are spares kept on the bridge for quick patch repairs...go to the bathroom to slip a couple in, and, as you can imagine it makes things more enjoyable when Mike is too busy to come over."

"Herding in the farm deck." Melennia said. "I know its hardly a secret, but..."

'Yeah." Rena agreed, "Instincts need to be sated."

"Exactly." Belle added.

A few more people told their secrets but most were busy munching chips, swigging beers, and a few were doing shots. Eventually Maya agreed it was time for a new game, and ''who would you rather'' won out.

"Its simple. you can pick any two people from anywhere in the universe, either current or that ever has been and ask someone which they would rather have sex with." Dana left it at that seeing her friend Nisha wanted to go first.

"Ok Maya, who would you rather?" Nisha, a stout looking human asked. "(Famous male actor) or President Landry?"

"Tough one." Maya said, tipping her bottle again. "Actors an' politicians're both s' used t' puttin on a false face the real person's nothin lahk the image. That said, probly Landry, she seems t' genuinely feel what she says."

"Mah turn." Maya said. "Dana. who'd ya rather? General Lee 'er Queen Molly a' the Canid Empire?" (not to be confused with Molly the badger here on Excalibur)

"General Lee." Dana replied. "That man was one of the wisest in our history." She paused then, "Grace, who would you rather?. (famous actor) or Admiral Maya?"

"Admiral Maya." Grace said. "What we had would be genuine, not a stunt to score more ratings/public obsession."

"But Maya /IS/ a celebrity." Dana countered. "A lot of people back home lust for her."

"My point precisely." Grace said. "If those people knew Maya personally, and saw the rough cut, whiskey chugging, burping, farting, tough as nails, deep space country girl merc she really was most of them would not find her so appealing."

"We should keep it t' fleet personnel only from here on." Kaci suggested. "Make it easier bein people ever'one would know."

"agreed." Maya said.

"Ok Kaci, Tom Jr, or Jack?" Grace asked.

"Jack." Kaci replied. "Tom Jr is nice, but kuvasz boys pack too much meat....ouch."

"Wuss." Rena joked, "those knots ARE huge...but you can train yourself to take them with time."

"Gimme that, Ah aint no wuss!" Kaci remarked, grabbing for the bottle in Maya's left hand.

Maya tried to stop her, and hang onto the bottle, but the smooth glass slipped from her large hand nonetheless.

"Maya tried to shout out a warning but before she could open her muzzle, Kaci had up-ended the bottle, swallowed hard before her nerves could react to the burning potency, and quickly found herself on the floor, coughing, sputtering wheezing and gasping for air.

"Fuck,..... Maya,...... what the..... hell...... is that?...... Battery acid? " Kaci wheezed struggling to speak.

"Canid Whiskey." Maya said, collecting the bottle and taking a swig. "Ah tried t' warn ya."

"Interestin...flavor...but ...t' strong...t' drink straight." Kaci remarked. .."Reckon it'd be...good in soda though."

"I like to sip it, very slowly." Nisha said. "As a nightcap." she paused "Otherwise it needs to be mixed in something."

"Ah never cared fer mixed drinks mahself." Maya replied. " 'Cept the occasional pepper fer extra kick."

"I am not drinking due to my pregnancy, but that is the good stuff, a conisseur's whiskey meant to be sipped and savored." Karen said. "Coincidently it is also the strongest, which explains why some people down it like cheap moonshine the way Maya does."

The whiskey hit fast. Kaci normally thought of herself as someone who could hold her liquor...but already her head was swimming. She had taken a pretty good swig, granted, but, damn, that had to be potent stuff. She had a hard time getting to her feet, but managed to walk to her previous armchair, albeit a bit tipsy, and take her seat.

Maya held up the bottle for Doc Natalie to look at, then took another drink as the good doctor replied; "She be fine lass. likely be losin her lunch before the night be done but it canna be helped."

The party continued to build after that, all the while Karen did her best to keep Kaci eating, as the food would help absorb the alcohol and ease recovery somewhat.

"Ok, Kayla, who'd you rather?" Maxine asked. "Alice or Erika?"

"Alice." Kayla replied. "I prefer bigger girls."

At that time, Ashley who had been sipping a bottle like Maya's, stopped to pour little sipping glasses for several human girls who expressed an interest in tasting Canid whiskey. Though Kaci's mistake should be warning enough, Ashley cauioned them all to sip it very gently nonetheless.

"Alright, this isn't a game question actually, but it is relevant." Maxine said. "Some of you know (looks at Maya) how I felt about Tom for a long time, and never figured out why he didnt reciprocate until I learned he was zoo. anyway I did some digging, asking pointed questions and I know there are several zoo men in the fleet, so my question is, how many of you are even a little bit zoo?"

A lot of hands went up, both mammilians and humans alike, and Maya's was among them.

"Y'know Ah'm omnisexual." Maya said. "Sahdes, ferals kin be very lovin' mates too."

"Alrahght." Kaci slurred. "New game..."If'n y' has a choice, keep yer current lovelife, 'er spend one day with anyone in the universe, what'd ya do...y' kin try t' guess yer targets preferred mate too."

"I'm game." Alice said. "Ok Maxine, if you could be with Tom for a day, or keep things as they are?"

"I would keep things as they are." Maxine said. "As much as I care about Tom, I understand he is a platonic friend, and I love Sam more than anything in the universe."

"Erika, if you could have anyone in the universe for a day, what would you do?" Holly asked.

"Mike and I have everything perfect, I would change nothing." Erika said. "Yes, I have dirty thoughts about Molly, but everyone has fantasies."

"Everyone has naughty thoughts about me, beccause I am so Hot." Molly replied.

"Anyone up fer a movie?" Maya asked, holding up a data crystal. " S' a home movie, all real, nothin scripted 'er faked.....Starts out 1 on 1 an' ends up a small orgy."

"Who is in it?" Dana asked. "Any hot studs?"

"If it is the movie I think it is, you will not be disappointed." Karen said. She held a wastebasket for Kaci who was emptying her stomach like a volcano into it. When Kaci finally stopped heaving, Karen wiped her face with a rag while Doc Natalie administered an anti-intoxicant to help speed recovery.

"Me an' Tom at firs'." Maya said, Then Hank an' Karen join us, May an Grace join in a bit later, an' finally Molly takin it up the ass while eatin Mah honeypie fer the grand finale."

"It is pretty good." Agnes said. " A bit messy at times, but incredibly erotic."

"Feel free t' play with yerselves ever'one, gods know Ah'll be doin' it." Maya said, removing her thin tank top as she got up to put the movie on. She grabbed a platter of sausages and chips as the movie loaded, and made her way back to her seat. Maya dropped her shorts before sitting back down, and once more stretching out on the huge sofa designed for kuvaszok (plural of kuvasz). "Ah that's more lahk it." Maya said.

The movie began in the Admiral's ready-room, which was like a small office/lounge/living room that was part of her cabin. the cabin being divided so it was in effect two rooms, the ready room, and Maya's sleeping quarters, sort of like a small apartment except it didnt have its own bathroom or kitchen, although there was a small refrigeration unit for chilled drinks.

Maya held Tom on her lap, kissing and cuddling while she looked over something on a datapad.

After a few moments, Maya signed whatever it was with an electronic pen, slid the datapad aside, and proceeded to make out with Tom as though nothing else mattered.

Karen unbuttoned her shirt, and slid her fancy shiny shorts down just enough to expose her lowermost teats, which she reasoned would be the easiest for an inexperienced person to drink from. Doc Natalie held Kaci's head, while Karen forced a nipple into her mouth, squeezing the teat in the process so as to squirt some milk into the woman's mouth. "Drink." Karen told her. "It will make you feel better."

As wasted as she was, Kaci didnt realize what she was doing, but she began to suckle like a starving pup nonetheless.

"The movie is a beautiful explicit loving romance." Karen told everyone as things heated up on screen. "The pornographic content is simply the fulfillment of that love."

There wasnt a lot of talking, as everyone focused on the movie. Even those humans who normally found pornography distasteful could not help but enjoy such a pure display of deep carnal passion. Occacionally someone would ask a question unsure what they were seeing, due to anatomical differences, and Maya did her best to answer them, but for the most part everyone enjoyed the show.

Maya herself had shed her thin shirt and skimpy shorts revealing she wore nothing underneath. She was busily fingering her huge honeypie with one hand, while still enjoying her bottle of Canid whiskey with the other.

Many of the Canids and other mammilians did likewise, including ''Princess" Molly, who was rubbing her little badger pussy all over several of Grace's teats. technically it could be counted as a teatfuck since the little spaniel's perky nipples frequently penetrated Molly's tight little honeypot as she was pleasuring herself, but Grace was too caught up in fingering her own Honeypie and Canine anus to pay much attention.

A few humans were as casual about it as Maya, but most were more reserved, simply slipping a hand down the front of their pants while enjoying the movie.

Kaci having finally drank her fill, was well on her way to recovery, and really enjoying herself as well. She was still pretty drunk, but not to the point of being sick, just really happy, and more than a little tipsy. she too, like everyone else, was pleasuring herself, and now that Karen and Natalie were both satisfied she wasn't goinhg to be sick again, they had returned to their original seats, and likewise began to pleasure themselves.

Sarah and Erika had both drank quite a bit, and were currently entwined in a 69 position on the lounge floor. While most everyone else pleasured themselves, the hotshot pilot and chief comm officer were set on pleasuring eachoter. Were they not drunk, the two of them would have been an unlikely coupling to say the least. They were polar opposites in every way, but in the heat of the moment, with alcohol fueling the passion, they really hit it off.

Grace and Molly were soon to follow. The first time Molly rubbed herself to climax on Grace's teats, Grace shoved a finger up Molly's butt, and the little badger responeded by pulling the spaniel into a very passionate kiss.

Dixie and April doubled up on May, who had been trying to get a belching and farting contest going with Maya

Maya had bested May in both attempts, but with Karen sitting on her face, and Agnes fisting her honeypie and canine anus, she had more than enough to occupy her time than continuing such a contest.

Ashley and Callie had both intended to simply pleasure themselves, but it wasnt long before some of the more curious humans joined them.

Tasha, a marine sniper from one of Kaci's fireteams was one of the more curious humans. While many of the others were content to finger themselves and watch, she made her way over to where Mabelle, May's oldest daughter, was playing with herself using the backend of a beer bottle as an anal toy, and proceeded to do a faceplant in the kuvasz bitch's huge Honeypie. Mabelle was in full standing Heat, her first, so the curious human got her face covered in estrus honey in doing so, but Tasha didnt mind in the least. In fact she hungrily began to lick Mabelle clean, enjoying the curious new scent and the flavor that went with it. The (for humans) naughty factor of eating out the Admiral's granddaughter with both her mother and her grandmother watching was something Tasha found all the more erotic. She'd always been the 'adventurous' sort, and from the moment she'd learned first heat was legal age she'd imagined doing something like this, she just never imagined it would be with the Admiral's granddaughter.

Dana, the Jackson's first officer, was content to pleasure herself as she watched Karen riding Maya's muzzle. She found it a little gross that Maya kept sticking her tongue up Karen's butt in addition to pleasuring her honeypie, but the scene was so erotic she didnt really mind. She was close enough to hear the wet slippery lovesounds, and even smell the various scents involved, but what really got her going was the passion of it. The two of them clearly had deep feelings for eachother, especially the way Maya didn't hesitate to pleasure both holes equally, and likewise the way Karen ground her rump against Maya's muzzle like nothing else mattered.

Also present, was one of the dairy lionesses, Nayako. Unlike the other dairy lionesses who were truly ferals, Nayako had recently confided in Maya that she was actually a sentient quadruped, who had been roleplaying a feral since before Maya had bought her, partly because her family had been so poor that when her mother had gotten pregnant from a feral, she had sold Nayako and her siblings as ferals, and partly because she had worried how Maya would react knowing the truth, which isnt surprising given that sentient quads, usually the result of a biped and feral pairing, were treated as ferals anyway on most worlds. Nayako had confided in Maya the other day, and begged the Admiral to forgive her dishonesty and keep her aboard. Maya had agreed of course, requiring only that Nayako take the blood oath, following which Maya sexxed her in, and she became an official member of the crew. Nayako had also offered to continue to fulfill her role as a dairy lioness because the other dairy lionesses had bonded with her, and also because she really didnt have any other skills with which to contribute. Maya agreed, with the sstipulation that Nayako also attend social functions and interact with the rest of the crew whenever possible, and so, here she was. Nayako was puzzled by all the smoothskinned people present, Humans, like Tom, she knew, but this was her first time seeing females of the species. Being unaccustomed to the social structure of bipeds, she'd been helping herself to the party foods without asking. Clearly Maya had explained who she was to all the others, as no one seemed shocked seeing her or scolded her for doing so. At any rate she was presently curled up like a feral, pleasuring herself with her tongue. Moments later, Holly from engineering joined her, and they began to lick eachother.

Dana continued to pleasure herself watching Maya and Karen, until Rena put an arm around her, and led her to a more open area where they had more room to play, insisting "self pleasure is fine, but it is much more fun with a partner." Needless to say, Dana was more than happy for the help. She had always thought Rena was attractive, but knowing the collie was one of Tom's girls, and /not/ knowing the intricicies of canid marriage, she had always erred on the side of caution, wrongly believing a mated bitch would have no interest in playing with others.

Dana had played with Sarah ("Gunner") before, so she had some experience with Canid anatomy, but Rena's long coat made the experience a bit more challenging as they began to explore eachother's bodies.

At this point nearly everyone had a partner, and 3-somes, 4-somes, or more were not uncommon. Serenity and Faith, two more of Karen's daughters, were no exception. Like many of Karen's girls, they too had each found partners among the humans present. In fact, Karen's pups were the crowd favorite, as the spaniels were the perfect size, while the larger canid/mammilian girls were a bit more intimidating for newcomers, scaling proportianately with size, so it was no wonder only the more adventurous types sought out the huge girls such as Maya's pups. Of course it hardly mattered since everyone had managed to find a partner anyway.

Molly had been pregnant longer, but owing to the differences in gestation times, both she and Grace were equally ready and could go into labor any day now. At the moment neither was feeling anything but pleasure however. Grace was on top now, riding Molly's little badger muzzle wildly as she put her tongue to work giving Molly similar pleasure.

Molly chirred with delight as she worked her little tongue deeper. She was addicted to the little spaniel's perfect (Y) Honeypie, The scent and taste drove her wild with pure carnal lust. Seeing Grace's little canine anus quiver in response to her tonguework told her she was hitting all the right spots, though the spaniel's short fancy tail wagging like crazy was another clue as well.

"Gods! Molly! "Grace yipped with pleasrue, trying not to withdraw her tongue to do so. "Good girl!"

Molly's tonguework felt so good Grace lost herself in the pleasure of the moment, dipped her head lower, and gently worked her tongue up Molly's butt. The taste took her by surprise, but Grace found it pleasant, just different. It was hard to describe, but definately earthier than she was used to.

"Grace! That is disgusting!." Molly cried out in surprise.

"Tastes fine to me, Princess." Grace replied, or rather mumbled as she only partially withdrew her tongue to speak.

Odd as the taste was, Molly's butt felt, smelled and tasted wonderful to her, and she wasn't about to stop.

"But....that is....I mean...I...use the bathroom there." Molly protested.

"Everyone does, but I do this with mom all the time." Grace replied, panting hard. She dove back in after that, and said no more.

Molly had to admit, it felt amazing. The idea was gross, but the pleasure itself was so intense it was like nothing she'd felt before. The more she realized that, the more she relaxed, and the deeper Grace's tongue slid into her butt. Molly felt herself about to climax, but before she lost it, she forced herself to slide her little muzzle up Grace's bitch-stripe, and did her best not to gag as she slipped her little tongue up the spaniel's butt to return the favor. To Molly's surprise, Grace relaxed instantly, her little canine anus opening up to admit her tongue freely.

Molly climaxed hard the instant her tongue was all the way in. SHe was too lost in the throes of orgasm to think about where she had just put her tongue.

Grace withdrew her tongue just long enough to catch all of Molly's sweet lovenectar, then once more slid her tongue up Molly's butt and picked up where she left off. She was close to climax herself, especially with Molly's tongue up her butt, but she did her best to hold off until Molly recovered.

.................................

.......................................

Tom was in his cabin taking care of his and Callie's pups while she was busy with whatever it was Maya and the girls were up to. He had just gotten them to sleep when his phone went off. It was an instant message from Hank, which Tom knew Hank sent from the computer terminal in his and Karen's cabin, as his phone had yet to be made compatible with Excalibur's wireless data network.

"I got some free time, want to play some Halo?" the message read.

Tom thought for a moment. On one hand he could use a good game right about now, but on the other, he was still wearing the teatsuit from feeding Callie's pups, and even as aclimated as he was to Canid society, he still didn't enjoy being seen wearing it.

"Thought you had Bridge duty." Tom texted back.

"Jack is covering for me." Hank replied.

"Ok." Tom texted back. "I'm sure Maya won't mind if we have a few beers, let's get a game going."

"I'll be there in a few minutes." Hank texted back.

Tom got the Xbox set up, and true to his word, Hank arrived just as he was finishing up.

"Maya make you wear that?" Hank asked, noticing Tom's suit as he took the beer Tom offered.

"Callie." Tom informed. "can't be helped."

"Yeah." Hank agreed, opening his beer. "I hate it when Karen makes me wear one of those." he paused a minute, then, "Come to think of it, Grace mentioned she wants to move in with you and Maya now that she is due any day."

Tom took a long drink of his beer, then "I would like that. I was going to ask her myself but I didn't want to make you uncomfortable."

"Its difficult, considering not all that long ago I was holding her as a newborn pup, but she's a grown bitch, I have to accept that." Hank replied. He took a big swig of his beer after that. "I just....dont want her picking up Maya's bad habits."

"I doubt theres much danger of that." Tom said, as the match finally got going. "You gonna be there when she gives birth?"

"Yeah." Hank replied. "Karen will be there for her, and so will I." he paused taking another drink. "Not the most pleasant experience but I seen it enough it doesnt gross me out."

"I think its beautiful." Tom said. "The miracle of life, as nature intended."
