Kalyee's Brood Chapter Three
#14 of Story Commissions
(Re-uploaded because I tried to edit the last version and for some reason on this site whenever I try to edit, when I update, the post's format is really messed up.)
The penultimate chapter of another rather large story commission project for the awesome: Sallandra A story revolving around a fertility temple and a very gravid kobold situation! Thank you so much for commissioning me!
Featuring their character in an original fantasy world, getting becoming pregnant with my OC Xeno's brood. Though, please note that this is not canon to either of our OCs stories, it's just for fun!
Two Months Later:
A ray of bright sunlight beamed down like a divine beacon from a small arch in the high temple wall. As if directed by omnipotent hands, the glow landed squarely upon the ever-growing bump in the small kobold's belly as she stirred from her slumber.
"Urg, morning already?" Kalyee groaned as she rubbed her weary eyes with a claw, her head still pressed into the chitinous flanks of her lover. "Feels like I hardly got any sleep."
To say her nights were peaceful, was as far from the truth as possible. In the past few weeks, not a single moment after sunset had her glowing, growling belly been still. It had been roughly about eight weeks since she'd mated with Xeno and already the bump in her gut had doubled in size. With the sudden spurt came a lot of painful scale stretching, aching limbs, bursts of lust that she could hardly sate, and...
Oh, by the goddesses, not again! There was a sudden cramp in the kobold's belly, like something rising from her packed womb. I... Just give me five minutes to wake up!
No matter her begging, her brood was not about to give her any respite, and with a deep gurgle from her tummy, Kalyee threw a paw over her muzzle as she started to gag. Then, as fast as she could, she groggily wobbled to her feet and waddled her bloated form over to the bathroom. It was an extravagant cavern of flowing water heated by the volcanic coals below the mountain, yet none of that concerned the young mother as she floundered to the waste pit and hung her head over.
"Urg, okay now..." the kobold began as she cupped her belly, only for the sickening feeling to settle. "What, now you don't want to make me throw up!?"
She glared at her bump as it glowed a faint green, the podgy shape of a few eggs visible in the murk. It was unlike any gravid dragoness she'd seen. Her womb was so full already and Sallandra assured her she had so much more growing to do. Yet unlike with pure dragon broods, those that had been stuffed into her womb often fluttered or shifted, like tadpoles swimming through the soup within her.
Maybe I should just eat more, I've grown so fast my metabolism must be off the scale? The studious kobold wondered, rubbing her bump. Then again, the more I eat the more I'll feel sick.
It was just another of the countless times she'd questioned herself, she'd wanted to study every moment of what was happening to her. Every change, every shudder from her brood. She'd already kicked herself for letting go during mating, all she could really remember from that night was how good it felt, not so much of what had biologically transpired under her tail.
Like, what part of my womb are they nestled in, are they even attached to me like a fetus, what's the placenta like... Urg... I...
The bloated priestess's thoughts were cut off by a sharp cramp in her belly, and she rolled over, head poised as she barely managed to throw up into the pit. It was often that her brood would make her feel sick, only to give her a moment of relief before dropping sudden nausea on her again. Sometimes, she felt as if they were toying with her, yet she knew that was a stupid idea. She was sure it was just her biology adapting to the alien influence, and the effects Xeno's hormones were having on her.
Ack... They must have changed my biology already... My belly would never swell this big without it... She noted, wiping green bile from her lips as she gagged. My hips too, they feel wider... And the glow, that's not natural for me at all.
It was at times like this, when she was studying herself and what was happening, that she often wondered about the stories Xeno had told her. The drake was ashamed of their past, but they spoke of times when their kind would cocoon unwilling hosts for the same ordeal as she was going through, leaving them as breeding factories forever.
I wonder if I'd have gone that far to become a mother? Kalyee thought as she rubbed a tender spot on her tummy, genuinely curious after how desperate she'd been. Either way, I'm just glad I got the one good Xeno...
Just like that, another wave of nausea rippled through her, and she was bent over the hole once more as green vomit left her muzzle. Yet this time her struggle did not go unheard, and true to what she thought about them, as she finished gagging, a four-eyed head appeared in the archway.
"Oh, by the stars, Kalyee! Are you okay, sweetie?" Xeno asked, seemingly stunned as they darted over. "I... Oh, you should have woke me up, my queen, I would have helped you."
The alien dragon took their queen's hand as Kalyee coughed and sputtered, struggling to get words out as she cupped her bump. It was as if her tight throat were stuffed with cotton and knotted by sickly bile, before she was finally able to force.
"No, no, love... I... I'm fine, just morning sickness," the kobold assured as she was overcome again, finally flopping against her lover's warm chest as she finished. "Your babies... My body is still getting used to them," she panted.
Xeno looked anything but sure. The dragon had the most adorable concerned face, and Kalyee loved it. So much so, she rubbed her lover's smooth carapace as the four-eyed dragon stammered timidly.
"Y-you sure, I can go get Sal or one of the others... You... Urg, I wish I knew what to do, but back in the hive they'd have never...."
Kalyee cut off the blabbering dragon with a kiss to the cheek, taking Xeno's paw and pressing it to her belly.
"You feel them, they feel fine, trust me, I know as much as the head priestess, you know?" she assured, rolling their paws across her bump. "They're just growing fast, it's a shock to my body, it'll pass when your hormones kick in..." Her eyes became lidded. "You could mount me again, just a little top up?"
"I... I..." Xeno turned green with embarrassment. "I... I know, sorry, I forget you're a priestess too, I just worry."
"They're in my womb, not my head, my mind's still the same as before, if not sharper." She looked at her belly lovingly as their paws danced over her taut scales. "I dreamed about this for so long, and I couldn't ask for a better pregnancy."
"You know I'm glad for that, my queen. I just wish they were not so hard on you... I never really wanted you to think you've bitten off more than you can chew," Xeno admitted.
"Are you kidding, you silly love bug?" Kalyee shot back jokingly. "Sure, it may only be the first trimester, but this has been a piece of cake so far, I'll be fine... Morning sickness will pass soon enough."
"Hehe, if you say so, my queen. Either way, we better get you to Sal soon, your checkup is today..." Xeno told her, then trailed off with a distant look.
"What is it, love?" Kalyee asked, softly cupping her dragon's cheek with a claw.
"It's well... I..." Xeno stammered, then sighed. "Well, I guess I wish there was more I could do, like Sal does... I just feel like I sit here and watch you swell with my eggs."
"You mean our eggs, you silly bug," Kalyee giggled, then leaned back against the wall and spread her legs, leaving her large belly exposed. "Sing to them in your tongue, that always feels good."
"Oh, you like that... It's more just talking to them, getting them used to my..." Kalyee cut her lover off by waving a paw, and shot them a coy look. "O-okay, just hold still, my queen."
Just like that, Xeno pressed the tip of their snout to the peak of Kalyee's bump, almost licking her strained naval as they closed their eyes and let out a deep, rhythmic clicking from deep within their throat.
Oh... their language is so... Ooo... No, study it... But... Feel so good. The brood within seemed to shudder like jelly as they responded to their draconic parent's symphony, stimulating Kalyee to the point she was wet under her tail as she moaned. Gah, they can make me cum with just sounds!
She knew it was simply the vibrations that were driving her to orgasm, a perfectly safe way that would never hurt her babies, but a pleasure unmatched, nonetheless.
"That's it, my sweet... Aaaa, so... Good!" the kobold panted, holding a claw to Xeno's forehead, as her lover's tail rose and their hips swayed. "Sal can do her checkups, but with you... Umph... This pregnancy will be no problem at all!"

Two Months Later:
"You know, Kalyee, I have no idea how you carry that bump out of the water?" mused a gravid hippogriff from the hot steam pool beside the very large kobold as she leaned on the rim with a coy expression under her sopping wet plumage. "You'd think you were the goddess of fertility herself, hard to move, but such a gorgeous figure, my dear."
Despite everything, Kalyee couldn't help but blush hard at the slew of adoration as she dipped herself lower into the soothingly warm water of her own steam pool. It had been sixteen weeks since she'd been impregnated, and in that time her belly had swelled so much it was getting hard for her to move. The only plus, was that, as her size had bloomed to gravid proportions, her morning sickness had faded. Her avian friend was right, however; without the steam pool for support, it was a huge strain on her tiny body to carry her swelling tummy, as the little ones fidgeted and squirmed within their soft eggs.
Did I really bite off more than I... The pregnant kobold cut her thoughts off as she put on her best pleasant face and beamed at the hippogriff to her left. No way, I'm totally in control of this... Huge... Swollen tummy!
"Odessa, you flatter me, really. I'm no more fertile than any of you girls," Kalyee stated primly, reaching a claw over to rub her pregnant buddy's feathers. "I mean, sure it can be a little awkward at times, going to sleep an' all but..."
"I'll say, I can hear it growl from here. Sure it's not a pack of hungry wolves in there?" Odessa giggled as she purred. "And I thought my 'little guy' was trouble."
"They're... Well, like Xeno, not wolves," Kalyee huffed indignantly, before raining in her subtle mood swing and adding. "Your little guy looks great too, you know? I wish I could have been your nurse, your case is so fascinating."
"You mean my curse?" the hippogriff deadpanned as she rolled over, bobbing in the hot water as she rubbed her furry bump. "I say I'll carry the seed of the ancients one time and... BOOM! I swell up like a balloon on the spot!"
"It's a commendable thing you're doing, sweetie. That ritual was the last hope those snake dragons had," Kalyee assured, before giving a shrill eep as she settled a lump in her belly with a paw. "Gah, sorry... Just some gas."
"Just gas, sure?" the avian cooed with a raised eye crest. "That's what I thought before... Oof!" The hippogriff's words were cut off as a large, serpentine bulge rolled from one side of her belly to the other. "Oh, he's awake, how wonderful!"
Kalyee watched her friend's taut belly move with bated breath, wanting nothing more than to study the magical pregnancy the hippogriff had been blessed to carry out.
That's a whole different species gestating inside her, and she went from the first trimester to third in mere minutes. The kobold was almost drooling at the thought, more so than when her newfound craving for cinnamon and spices kicked in. Then again, what can I say, they're not exactly natural kobolds growing inside...
"Gargh..." Kalyee lurched forward with a splash as a sharp cramp rocked her gut, then she flopped back with a sigh, just before Odessa could look too alarmed. "J-just bad gas, indigestion, that kind of stuff," she added with a light giggle.
The hippogriff looked anything but convinced as she settled her serpentine baby with a claw, then cocked her head in concern.
"Are you sure, that looked... Umph, stop kicking!" Kalyee could only giggle more as the half-equine mother was also cut off, and glared at her wriggling belly, patting her friend's feathers as she added.
"Whatever the case, looks like we're both in the same boat... I'll admit, these guys are in soft eggs, but they can really kick hard."
"And you'll lay those eggs?" the hippogriff asked as both mothers leaned back with a sigh. "Funny, I thought I'd lay eggs if I ever had kids... At least normal hippogriff kids."
"You know your kind naturally births live foals, right?" Kalyee offered knowingly, and the hippogriff stammered for a moment. "Hehe, see, for all that time with males, you'd no idea."
"Hey, you're not my nurse, so you don't get to berate me," the avian countered, the two sharing a giggle. "Still, you pay me more attention than the head priestess these days, she's too obsessed with that sapphire dragoness."
Yeah, the one that looks like Xeno when I first met them. Kalyee noted, thinking nothing of the newcomer, as she assured her friend that Sallandra knew what she was doing. I still have to go see her with Xeno tomorrow. Yay for checkups!
"I guess you're right. I just kind of like being the center of attention," the hippogriff sighed, before shooting Kalyee a coy glance, horsy ears perking as she added. "Hey, had one of the guys give you a massage yet?"
"No, why? Kalyee blinked. "They'll do that?"
"Girl, you've been a priestess for too long, time to be a pampered mother," the avian assured, lifting her talons from the water to clap with a splash. "Hey, guys, come over here and give us some lovin' rubbin'!"
Just like that two male kobolds that seemed to have been watching the pair from across the mother-filled pools jumped like they'd been stung. The both of them glanced around the steamy chamber like they'd not noticed, before another call from Odessa beckoned them to scamper over.
"Y-yes my lady, how can I help?" The chameleon-looking kobold that attended to the hippogriff asked timidly, his eyes crossing over her body hungrily. "You are looking beautiful today, might I add."
"Awww, thank you so much, sweetie. Here I thought this curse just made me fat," she told her scaly admirer, before rolling her shoulders. "Just the back and wings to start, please. The baby weight does a number on my spine."
There was no argument from the kobold as he readily praised her and went to work. Meanwhile, Kalyee was met by the awkwardly blushing face of an orange and brown scaled kobold of her own. He was far more dragon-like, with horns and broad scales, much unlike her. Yet smiled at her like she was the most precious gem in his hoard.
"Hello, lady Kalyee... I... My name's Gregas and... Well, I just have to say I really admire your work around here," the male stammered as he crouched down above her head, his loin slit mere inches from her hood.
Okay, that's a lizard with a crush if I've ever smelt one. Kalyee noted as the reek of his musk hit her like a wall. He's doing well not to have his member slip out, hehe.
Even so, there was no way she was betraying her current mate, not with their brood still baking. Therefore, she looked up at Gregas and purred.
"I'll just have the same as her... My back is killing me too." The male nodded so hard it was a wonder he didn't snap his neck, and as he went to work, Kalyee became lost in a din of relaxation. "O-okay... I admit, being pampered is good."
"See, I told you... You were all work before, but these guys are great," Odessa responded as she looked up at her kobold lovingly. "This sweet guy is going to be there to help me birth too."
"Hehe, you know I'd be there if I could... Hard to help deliver while I'm so big though," Kalyee joked, rubbing her belly in time with the gentle claws kneading her knotted shoulders as she added. "I have Xeno and Sal on it... But... To answer, yes, I'll lay the eggs in time... May need a nest, but they're both sure that's how it works."
"Your mate doesn't know how their eggs work?" the hippogriff asked, only to huff at a knowing glance from Kalyee. "Okay, okay, I know I'm hardly one to talk."
"Xeno's the last one of their kind, they've never seen a brood born but... Well, what can they be other than eggs at this point?" Kalyee asked, as she slipped into the moment of blissful relaxation. "They'll be born fine, what could go wrong here of all places?"

Two Months Later:
"Well, I can say; twenty weeks... I've never seen anything grow so fast," Sallandra stated as she withdrew her measuring tape from Kalyee's monstrous girth. "But your body has adapted so well, you look just about ready to pop. Assuming Xeno's race works how I predicted."
"Oof... You mean how we both predicted. I studied for this too, you know?" Kalyee huffed, resting both arms on her squirming belly, the likes of which lay heavily on the stone floor as she sat. "I'll admit though, I... I didn't think anyone could get this big."
In the past eight weeks, Kalyee's extreme growth had been like nothing anyone could have predicted. She wasn't sure whether it was the sheer amount of babies inside her, or whether the ten young Xeno thought were stuffed in her full womb were just getting so huge.
I mean look at me, looks like I'm carrying a whale calf inside me! The kobold thought, cupping her belly and barely reaching her outward poking navel. Gah, another inch, and I can't even get my arms to the front!
Regardless, the head priestess set her equipment down and turned to her gravid friend with the same motherly radiance she always boasted. No matter what Kalyee thought, Sallandra was a sight of reassurance to be sure, especially now she also spouted a month-old baby belly of her own.
The head priestess is expecting again, what a shocker, Hehe.
"It's as much a shock to me as it is to you. Those babies have shifted your biology a fair amount to let you carry them. But at least you have Xeno here to see you through it," she informed the gravid kobold as she packed up her things, and as if on cue, a four-eyed head poked in through the door.
"Is everything okay? I-I got her meal for today?"Xeno declared, glancing between their pregnant brood mate and the gravid head priestess.
They're still so loyal and yet so awkward about it. Kalyee thought, fully aware that Xeno was still kind of ashamed their brood had robbed her of a comfortable life. Still, what beats laying in my nest all day, getting fed like a queen?
Regardless, the kobold immediately felt all agitation she had for her round and almost immobile condition soften as she saw the adorable dragon, meanwhile, Sallandra offered them both a smile.
"She's fine, Xeno, you need not worry," the head priestess assured kindly, rubbing her own bump as Xeno shuffled over to Kalyee with a sack of fresh food. "She's just growing rather fast, I think she may pop before we thought."
"Oh, how I can't wait for that," Kalyee droned with a hint of sarcasm, before she giggled and stroked her worried mate's cheek. "Hey, I'm joking, love. As long as I have you here, I'll take labor when it comes."
"I know, and I'm glad, I just..." Xeno's words trailed off with a sigh as they set down Kalyee's food. "I just wish I knew more about how it'll happen."
"They way I see it, you were born the same way, and you're so perfect," the kobold mused, rubbing her belly. "So what can go wrong?"
"Quite so, she's not in any danger here, Xeno, don't you worry," Sallandra assured, bidding the two of them goodnight before she made her way out, and at that, Kalyee finally muttered.
"Is it bad to say she annoys me sometimes?"
"Hehe, I think that's just the mood swings talking, I know you love her like a mother," Xeno responded, coiling their tail to set the sack of food upon Kalyee's bump so she could feed. "I got your favorites again, my queen. All on the diet Sal set for you, of course."
"More fruit, yay," Kalyee muttered with a roll of her eyes. "Odd to think your babies eat so much of it with fangs like..."
Her words were cut off as a painful lance like flame rippled through her left side, spanning out over her belly like a web. It almost felt like the cracking of a hundred eggshells under her paws and she winced, cupping her bump.
"Orff... what... the heck?"
Xeno's head shot up from nuzzling their mate's bump fast as lightning.
"What is it, my queen... They..." The alien dragon looked at the kobold's taut scales. "They were just so loud all of a sudden."
"It's just a cramp, love. Nothing to worry about," Kalyee assured with a nervous laugh as she waved the idea off with a paw. "Now... I want to eat some good food before I pop."
"Better eat fast then," Xeno mused with a dorky smile as they resumed nuzzling their queen's tummy, before pausing. "Kalyee... Are you sure it's okay, you're insides are rumbling like a storm?"
"I said it's fine... I'm not going to burst yet, love," the kobold assured, as she took a bite out of a succulent peach, only for that pain in her womb to suddenly spike again. "I... Gah... My..."
It was akin to a sharp coil as her belly suddenly went hard as a rock, so much so it forced her arms out and her tail to squirm as if she were being squeezed like a rung towel. Yet as pain bloomed like wildfire over her swollen middle, the pressure was gone. There was no sudden splash as her water broke, nor the pain of contractions.
I... what is going on... This can't be labor... It's too soon! Her thoughts died abruptly as she outwardly screamed, her whole belly feeling like it were on fire as sharp cracks and odd shudders emanated from within. I...I feel them moving so much... Arg! What's happening to me!
"Kalyee, Kalyee, what's wrong, what is it?" Xeno suddenly asked, holding their mate's head as they watched the little kobold's belly wriggle like it was filled with eels. "Oh no, what did I do to you!?"
"X-Xeno, don't panic again just... Aaaah, so tight!" Kalyee rested a claw on her lover's cheek as a rippling mix of feeling surged through her, from pain to an odd tingling that made her wet under her tail for reasons other than breaking water as she added.
"G-go... Just go get, Sal... She'll...." The pregnant kobold barely managed to double over, her belly dropping between her legs like a full sack of grain as she lifted her tail and swayed her hips. "Oh my...,. By the great egg... They can't be coming now!"
"I'll go find her, just wait here, I'll be right back!" Xeno assured as they scampered off, leaving Kalyee with a bloated belly that felt like it was getting larger with each wriggle.
I... I... Okay, I admit it... I may have... She was almost thrown onto her back as a huge roll of movement slid from the peak to the base of her swollen belly, causing her tail to rise like a mare in heat as it brought her to orgasm. This is... way more than I... can chew... Garg!
