there it took a while, but they came up with the other five girls that he would fuse with this week. Jay liked knowing ahead of time so he could try to get to know them a little bit before the moment of truth, so to speak.

      It showed how out of it Meikiyo was when she said that she would pass her turns and let the others decide. Jay didn’t know how big of a problem that would cause because her group was the only one that had six girls who all wanted to be fused. He decided he would have to speak to her later.

      Once they had a plan in place, Jay waited while the non-fused women left and took the children with them. A couple other girls came and helped so that there would be enough hands. It was still a bit shocking to him that he had fifteen children. Well, he prayed to a God that he wasn’t sure existed that Higen was still alive. It was odd how no matter how powerful you were there always seemed to be a problem that you couldn’t handle. At least that was what Jay was coming to realize. He didn’t really have any faith but it sure would have been nice to be able to put that burden on someone else.

      Now that he was alone with his fuses Jay said, “Okay let’s cut to the chase. Please speak freely here. I know that some of you see yourselves as part of our science team and some as part of our fighting team. The truth is that we all may be called upon to fight at least to defend yourselves. Part of the reason that I am willing to go ahead with more fusions is so that I will be strong enough to protect all of you.”

      There was shifting of feet and many of the fuses were clearly looking to the wives to speak up on their behalf. Then suddenly, Meikiyo stood up and stormed out the door. They could all feel the emotion pouring off of her. She was upset with them for caring about what she considered secondary issues that could wait until her son was found.

      Equally though they all could feel that she cared about them and didn’t want to quash their feelings. It was just too painful to sit there surrounded by several women who wanted nothing more than to have children. She didn’t begrudge them the feeling; she just couldn’t be part of the conversation.

      Huong and Jessie both stood up and started to follow her. Huong said, “I better go talk to her. You know where I stand on this but in case I need to make it more clear, life goes on and there will always be another challenge so enjoy today.”

      Jessie followed after her and turned at the doorway. “As the only one with two kids here so far, I can tell you that it is amazing. You all see how great of a father Jay is, so I don’t think you should let fear about an unknown future make your decisions for you.” Then she looked at Jay and said, “And as for you, my love, you need to remember that sometimes instinct takes over, and that isn’t a bad thing.” She made a cat claw motion at him and bit the air sensually before turning to chase after Huong.

      The other eighteen all sat there. Finally, Nalani stood up. “Sofia and I spoke about this. We want more kids later, but we are content with Healani and Charity. Also, neither of us are fighters but we will still fight to protect our children and all of you. Now we are gonna leave so that you can get this settled.”

      As they both left Alexis and Cadence stood up and followed while blowing kisses at Jay. It was clear that they weren’t ready for kids and just didn’t have anything to say about it. Faith stood up and then when all the eyes turned to her, she got red faced. “I was raised to believe that the highest following that I could obtain in life would be to become a mother. I just don’t know you very well yet. So, if it’s okay then we can just talk about this in the future.”

      “Of course, you never need to be worried about making this decision for yourself. Yes, we have to repopulate and that is a real issue, but I’m never gonna force anything on anyone,” Jay said.

      Faith whispered, “Thank you” and then teleported out of the room.

      Trina stood up then. “I’ve been asked to speak for Maddy, Char, Bong-Cha, and myself. We are fighters. Our place is by your side. Having babies now would only split our focus at a time that such things can’t be afforded. Speaking for myself, with some wining and dining, I am very open to helping you repopulate the human race, repeatedly. I agreed to that when I agreed to your marriage proposal.”

      Charlotte looked at Trina then at Maddy and finally at Jay. “We were gonna let Trina speak for us, but I just want to say that we agree with everything that she said. But also wanted to say that you haven’t asked us to marry you. So maybe that is something for you to think about.”

      The four of them moved to the door. It was obvious to Jay that Bong-Cha wanted to say something, but he also could sense that she didn’t want to speak in front of everyone else. He tried to push a feeling of reassurance through the fusion to all four of them but especially to her. She had lost her family in the experiment. Yes, all of them had lost family but not in the same way that she had actually lost them right before
