up were his hands on her hips.
    He turned, took three steps and dropped to the bed with her on top of him.
    She smiled. “So, that was fast.”
    His heart was slow and steady under her, but his erection was swelling once again.
    “I intend to know all the sounds that you make before we leave this place for the outside world.” He slid his hands up her torso and cupped her breasts.
    She rose and fell on him with deliberate focus. “That is a lot of sounds. It could take a while.”
    “I am willing to put in the time. When do you go into heat?”
    Yval laughed. “Why do you want to know?”
    “I might need to lay in some supplies. I don’t want to miss one minute of it.”
    She leaned forward and kissed him when he sat up so she could reach his lips. He remained sitting up, and she continued to rock on him until she moaned into his mouth.
    It was a pretty good start, but there were so many other sounds he needed to hear. Fortunately, Yval was a dedicated professional. She was willing to put in the time.
     

Epilogue
     
     
    Drorik was sitting at her side with his head pressed to her shoulder. She could feel the tears on her skin. “Stop crying, you big wuss. I was the one who had to do all the work.”
    The midwife was standing next to her, her arms overloaded with the bundles of joy. Three babies had indeed chosen to arrive all at once, and Drorik was now severely outnumbered.
    Yval Bindingheart shifted until she was sitting up in the bed, and she held out her arms. The little girls were handed to her one by one.
    “Heads up, Drorik. I need another set of arms. The family is about to come in.” She smiled as he lifted his head and wiped his tears away before extending his hands out to take the last of the triplets.
    “You knew that this was a possibility.” He wasn’t accusing, he was wondering at the small pink girl in his arms. Her tiny pointed ears were obvious, and her skin had a golden tint.
    “I did. Multiple births run in my family. My mother was the odd one out, but she was one of three as well.”
    The bedding had been changed, Yval was relatively comfortable for someone who had just produced three people, and the crowd came in.
    First, it was Ron, Linny and Jesser. The presents were put on the table at the foot of the bed, and they came around to greet the new devils in their presence.
    Tovin came in asking, “So where is the new family member?”
    Yval grinned when her family moved aside and Tovin saw the collection of little girls in their arms. Tovin’s wife just laughed for a moment before she had to prop Tovin up.
    Yval chuckled, “Drorik was the same. Let in the grandparents.”
    Drorik sighed. “I have recovered.”
    Yval’s mother smiled brightly when she saw the collection of tiny people, but she quickly had to move to support the fey who were not expecting three granddaughters in one shot.
    Drorik’s mother leaned forward, and her hands shook as she checked the babies. “They are all fey.”
    “And all shifter. I can smell it.” Drorik grinned. “Start planning the party, Mother.”
    “Party? For this, I will call out a national holiday, at least a local fair.” She smiled and hesitated. “Can I hold one?”
    Yval laughed. “You can hold as many as you can carry.”
    The babies were immediately distributed throughout the room, and the family welcomed the next generation with open hearts.
    Tovin came to the side of the bed. “When do you think you will return to work?”
    “I need three weeks to bond with them and to stop lactating. I would love to breast feed, but with three, it isn’t practical.”
    Drorik sighed. “Perhaps you could go back on a part-time basis? Maybe even start training folks?”
    She made a face. “Fine. I was just teasing. No, Tovin. I am not heading back to work. I have three new shifters to guard and that takes priority.”
