Stephen's hand stopped stroking Jasmine, as he stared open mouthed at Kelly.
“You mean to say - “ He began, then trailed off, his mind whirling.
“Yes..." Kelly sobbed, her back to him. “I'm one of the exceptionally rare anthropomorphic people – I can naturally conceive to a buck – of the same species – as I did that day with that bachelor..."
Kelly shuddered, before resuming.
“Or...with you...a human..."
“You mean - “ Stephen began.
Kelly whimpered in fear, before she swallowed and turned slightly to look sideways at Stephen.
“Yes..I'm with fawn – yours..."

Stephen was doubly mind blown, first he found out he'd been, well, making love with his step-daughter...now to find out Kelly was pregnant, with his child...
“Wait, how..." He began, as his hand trembled on Jasmine's neck, causing the Doe to give a soft bark of confusion and look up.
“Oh, I'm pretty sure - “ Kelly sniffled, then laughed weakly. “We both know the how of it..."
“You're...you're not joking, trying to cheer me up or - “
“Afraid not my love – yes, I'm with fawn – I'm certain of it, my – my season is late and...well, Doctor Kelarnis will be able to confirm it for us tomorrow."
Stephen's mind whirled, before he stroked Jasmine's head and paused again – his eyes widening as he looked down at her, Jasmine looking back with a look of love and complete trust in him. As if reading his mind, Kelly shook her head slowly, then rolled over onto her back.
“No..." Kelly spoke quietly, as she absently rubbed her belly. “It doesn't work that way, Jasmine is – well – how do I describe it adequately? I think Doctor Kelarnis will have to explain it, but – no, Jasmine can not conceive from you. It's not physically or biologically possible."
Stephen breathed a sigh of relief, before Kelly shuddered, then she sat up, then stared at him, her eyes partially closing, as her anger began to build within her.
“I – am – quite, upset and angry with you Stephen. Why? Why did you – mate – with her? A sweet, gentle, loving whitetail doe? How could you?"
“It – it wasn't like that - “ Stephen wept, as Jasmine sniffed, then crawled up the bed and lay her head on her mates chest, gazing at him lovingly.
“Oh, so how was it – exactly?" Kelly snapped, her anger rising faster. “Do I not please you? Do I not share myself with you fully, body, mind and spirit?"
“It – it wasn't how it sounds, please, believe me!" Stephen sobbed, his emotions overflowing, before Jasmine barked, then Kelly growled and slapped her, making the Doe squeal and leap off the bed.
“You stay out of this!" Kelly snarled at Jasmine.
“Well?" Kelly snapped at him.
“It...it wasn't against her will, please, honey – believe me – we, she and I – she willingly chose me, to be her mate...I know it was wrong, oh so wrong, yet – she consented – of her own hearts desires and wishes! I never – meant to hurt you Kelly, please my love – please – believe me!"
“A bit late for that – isn't it?" Kelly sighed, her anger cooling a little, as she looked at Jasmine, who swallowed and knelt on the floor, hanging her head as if she understood everything Stephen and Kelly had said. “How can a doe consent? I mean – how could Jasmine consent? Well? She's a – more feral than anthropomorphic..."
“Jasmine treated me like a feral buck – she showed all the signs and desires, the tail flagging, the – the ways a doe shows she is sexually receptive to a buck...oh, please Kelly, I – I never meant, I never thought..." Stephen pleaded with his lover.
Kelly rose from the bed, then stood over Jasmine, yanking the lead rope, so Jasmine was forced to stand and look up into Kelly's eyes.
“You..." Kelly shrieked at Jasmine, as the doe cringed and uttered short, sharp barks and grunts, as if pleading her case to her mother.
“No, shush - “ Kelly snapped, then leaned down and bit down hard on Jasmine's right ear, making Jasmine squeal and struggle. “You're just as guilty as he is! How – how could you? How could you let him do...do that to you?"
“Kelly, please – honey..." Stephen began, climbing off the bed and approaching Kelly, who rounded on him, her muzzle dewlaps curled and a look of ferocity in her eyes.
“Shut up..." Kelly snarled, before she turned back to Jasmine. “I've half a mind to have you shot, do you know that? Do you realise how much you've hurt me, because of what you done?"
“Kelly, please – if you're going to punish someone...punish me, please?" Stephen pleaded. “It – I accept the blame, it was my lack of self control, my – curiosity – that led to this unnatural mating and -"
Kelly shuddered, then slapped jasmine sharply across the snout, the young doe squealing and dropping to her knees, shaking in fright. Turning on Stephen, Kelly stared at him.
“What am I to do? My husband – my partner – prefers a feral doe over - “
“It's not like that!" Stephen wept unashamedly. “I – I love Jasmine, I do, it was once off, I was – curious, she consented and I've never bred with her again, I swear it..."
Kelly slumped onto the bed, clutching her head in her paws, before she burst into hysterical sobbing, great wails and bone shaking convulsions seized her, as she was torn equally between her anger, disappointment and loathing for what Stephen had done – yet – deep inside her, she loved him with all her heart and she knew for certain – she was with his child. What she did not know, was whether that child was a fawn – or a human – or an anthropomorph like herself...
Taking a risk, Stephen sat beside Kelly, then slid an arm around her shoulders, pulling her gently against him, before her anger vanished as suddenly as it come, and she clung to him, burying her head against his shoulder and crying heart-brokenly.
“I just...don't know what to think - “ Kelly sobbed. “You...and her..."
“It was an accident love, a stupid, stupid accident, I take responsibility, Jasmine consented, she did, I swear it – but I should have had better control. I knew – how beautiful our lovemaking was...I've never...I swear, I'll never, ever break your trust and love in me again – if you'll forgive me – please?"
“I don't – know if I can, Stephen - “ Kelly whispered. “you've hurt me deep my love – very deep, it would be bad enough to find out you'd mated with any female animal, in the sanctuary...but our...my...daughter..."
“I didn't know!" Stephen wept, his tears coming strong. “How was I to know, that dear, sweet Jasmine, was your daughter? You never told me you were pregnant before! I didn't even...know...it was possible! How...how was I supposed to know, that dark secret you've hidden from me for all these years?"
“I - “ Kelly began, then Stephen's scent reached her nose and she shut her muzzle with a snap, her shame and guilt making her ears slick back against her neck. “it isn't something...our kind...talk about..."
“Then – how was I to know? I didn't, I just thought – she was only a baby when I first met her! I was told she was an orphan, her mother didn't want her, tried to kill her - “
“Partially true..." Kelly sniffled and whispered, her guilt growing. “I birthed her, she is my daughter – biologically, emotionally and – well – semi-physically, but her fathers genes were more dominant..."
“Partially? What partially? She is your daughter! My...stepdaughter...who I mated with, even..."
Kelly glanced at him sideways, watching as Stephen blushed to the roots of his hairline.
“There's no chance of...pregnancy, you know that..."
“I know but – she is – gods, how do I word this...she is, of sorts - “
“No, she's not – there was no record of her birth, in the park. Doctor Kelarnis was very – discrete – thankfully. She helped me during Jasmine's birthing, a frightening, painful experience I might add – more than once, she nearly died during the birthing." Kelly trembled, tears trickling down her muzzle.
“We...hid her birth, as can you imagine what would have happened – if the other Keeper's – found out what I'd done? If my own family found out? Can you even begin to imagine that?"
“I never - “ Stephen whispered, then he shook his head. “No, I – I can't imagine how it must have been, to be young, way too young to carry a fawn, let alone birth one - “
“I was, in your years, on my second heat – but yes – I was young, too young, to be able to conceive and carry a fawn to term. By some – miracle – Jasmine was not only conceived, but birthed – of course – not without significant difficulties."
Jasmine sniffled and weakly rose to her hooves, before she uttered a short, quiet grunt and timidly approached, her eyes wide in fear and confusion, before Kelly looked at her, then pet the bed beside her, Jasmine creeping onto the bed and laying down, her head resting on Kelly's lap as she looked up at Kelly.
“Yes, my dear, sweet doe – you're mine, and I'm – yours...we're bonded, closer than we ever should be. I nursed you at my own breasts, watched you grow, sat with you the nights you were deathly sick - “
“I never knew any of this..." Steven spoke quietly, gazing between Jasmine and Kelly.
“I – kept it from you my love, I had too – I was young, scared and confused. When I found out I was with child – a fawn of all things - “
“I remember...you said you had some important business - “ Stephen pondered.
Kelly blushed, then stroked Jasmine's head tenderly, then she smiled weakly.
“All those mornings, you woke up sick...you said it was something you'd eaten the night before - “ Stephen stared at Kelly.
“Morning sickness...it'll happen again, but this time...I swear, Steven, it's your child growing inside of me..."
