Just wait...\nNot sure if this actually qualifies as \"unbirth\" but...\n\"Que Sera, Sera\" song writing credits go to Jay Livingston and Ray Evans.\nNext: Intermission","content":"With another drop in outside temperature, they've decided they can't wait any longer. As Avy cleans the bed again, Key heads outside to check the wind generators. It's too cold for him to walk to the com shelter, so he can't check on that anymore.\n\nNot finding any ice, he heads back in, and finds Avy waiting for him. Knowing what she has planned, he drops his armor. \"Shower.\"\n\nShe manages to slide her tail a little closer, and starts to wash him. In only one of her hands, she holds a special soap that she selected, in the other three, sponges. She soaps the sponges and starts washing him.\n\nHer hands shake, showing her nervousness, so he takes them and looks into her eyes. Words need not be said as she nods and slowly relaxes.\n\nAt first, it feels odd to him as her four hands work their way across his body, but he soon starts to enjoy her gentle touch. He follows her instructions, turning as needed.\n\nShe smiles at his excitement but continues to bathe him.\n\nWhen she's done. She takes the shower head from the wall and rinses him slowly, thoroughly. She then grabs a towel and dries him.\n\nThat done, he takes the towel, wipes down his armor and puts it in it's case. When he finishes, she hands him a small bag. It's the outfit Pond designed to help keep her from dissolving him. It's a thin, skin tight material that only covers his torso, and a hood for his head and face.\n\nAfter helping him put it on, she opens the sleeve covering her tail. Together they move her to the bed's raised platform, its mattress now leans against the far wall.\n\nHe again takes her hands in his. \"Are you ready?\"\n\n_I don't know_. She looks up at him. I _wish I had some of your confidence right now_.\n\nKey smiles. \"When I was little I was so full of questions about the future. My dad answered me one day with a very old song.\"\n\n_A song?_\n\nHe clears his throat, and sings, \"Que sera, sera. Whatever will be, will be. The future's not ours to see. Que sera, sera. What will be, will be.\"\n\nShe smiles and leans her head against his. _Your singing is terrible, but I understand_.\n\nHe chuckles and kisses her. _We will be all right_.\n\nShe nods and gently pushes him back. _Okay, lets do this before I change my mind_.\n\nKey nods. \"Pond, if you please.\"\n\n\"Initiating modifications.\"\n\nAn odd warming sensation washes over him and his skin starts to shine as his pores start to slowly ooze a clear fluid.\n\n\"Preliminary secretions complete. Ready to move on to preservation phase.\"\n\n\"When you are ready,\" Drudge adds.\n\nAvy nods, and starts massaging the opening to her cnolee'a, encouraging the muscles around it to relax.\n\nKey kneels and starts to help. It doesn't take long before he's doing it alone. Avy starts shaking and gasping, and grabbing at anything she can to steady herself.\n\n_Key...if...I..._She gasps sharply at the stimulation. _Ooh, don't stop_.\n\n\"I won't love.\" He gently works a hand in and she gasps again.\n\nSlowly she opens up, and he works his arms inside.\n\nAvy puts a hand to his back and gently pulls him to her. _Do it_.\n\nRealizing her meaning, he pulls the hood down over his face. It's solidifies into a smooth face mask.\n\nHands first, he slides forward into her. She's soft, warm, and seems to fill all the space around him.\n\nAvy squeals as her cnolee'a spreads, accepting him.\n\nHe continues in, getting chest deep before she clenches around him,\u0026nbsp;stopping his progress. _Avy, you need to relax_.\n\nHer arms and legs are splayed out across the ceiling and floor, pushing out in all directions. She gasps and squeals, and fights to relax. _Key...don't move...I need...to focus_.\n\nHe tries to remain still, but even his breathing seems to stimulate her.\n\n_I'm gonna try to push you in_.\n\nHe slowly repositions his legs. _I'm ready_.\n\nStill fighting the massive stimulation, she moves two of her hands to his waist. _On three_. She takes a few breaths. _One...two...three_.\n\nHe kicks off the floor as she pulls him in. The stimulation nearly overwhelms her and her cnolee'a constricts around him, again stopping his progress.\n\nShe flails again. pushing up and out with her arms and legs. The ceiling and floor both buckle outward from the force of her push. She screams, and nearly collapses to the floor. Her tail twitches and ripples run down its length.\n\nThis gets Key's attention. _Avy?_\n\n_...Key...it's...too much_...\n\n_I know, love. I can feel it too. I think I can get the rest of the way myself_.\n\nWeak and tiring, she pushes herself back up. _Okay, I think I'm ready_.\n\nTiming his movement with the ripples, he pushes his arms outward and pulls himself forward. He slides in up to his knees.\n\nShe gasps again as she struggles to keep herself up.\n\nWith one more pull, his feet disappear inside her, and he rolls to his back. Immersed in her warmth, surrounded by her soft embrace, he relaxes. He lets her feelings overtake him.\n\nAvy pants. She had no idea it would feel this good, and feeling him open up to her, intensified those feelings. Fighting to stay awake, she manages to crawl back across her tail before collapsing.\n\nRest. She needs rest.\n\n\\*\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \\*\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \\*\n\nShe has no idea how long it's been. Hours, days, doesn't matter.\n\nInside her cnolee'a, Key's in an induced coma. Drudge and Pond are waiting for her to enter hibernation, then they shelter will lower the temp, and they'll put him in cryo.\n\nShe sips down the last of her plankton and slowly caresses her tail. She can feel every part of him, every beat of his heart, every swell of his chest as he breaths. Despite his being asleep, she can even feels his body's primal excitement and occasional climax. Apparently, being inside her is as stimulating to him as it is to her.\n\nDone with her meal, she stretches out across her tail. She puts her head down and wraps herself in a hug. If her tail wasn't there, her head would be on his chest, and knowing this comforts her.\n\nOnce again Key's song comes to mind, and she can't help but to sing a specific part to herself as she surrenders to hibernation.\n\n_When I grew up and fell in love_\n\n_I asked my sweetheart, \"What lies ahead?_\n\n_Will we have rainbows day after day?\"_\n\n_Here's what my sweetheart said_\n\n_\"Que sera, sera_\n\n_Whatever will be, will be_\n\n_The future's not ours to see_\n\n_Que sera, sera_\n\n_What will be, will be\"_\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Merr","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/900922-the-merrin-part-28.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/917289-the-merrin-intermission.json"}}
