Chapter 13: Resolutions

“What about the wedding?” Tarin whined.

“An’ Unca Shelby!” Kevin mewed.

“I wannah hear about Grampy platypus!” Karin added.

“Now kits,” Monica started.

“We’ve gone this far,” Martin said. “I’m sorta enjoying...”

Serena and Monica’s glare cut him short.

“See?” Karin grinned. “Daddy wants to hear more! Pleeeeeease!”

_________________________________________

The next morning found Shelby walking slowly along the lake shore toward Serena’s house. His head hung down and his tail dragged along the ground behind him. He carried a large suitcase that he had spent most of the night packing. He paused occasionally to look out over the lake, his mind calling up happy memories that only made him feel worse. Today was the day. Today he was being sent home.

“Shelby?” Serena said as she came upon the miserable young platypus.

“Oh, Hi Serena,” Shelby said without looking up.

“Where are you off to?”

“T’day’s my flight back t’ Australia,” Shelby moped. “Monica’s takin’ me t’ th’ airport.”

“I get t’ come back for th’ wedding,” Shelby explained. “But she was really mad th’ night I told her that I...That I wanted t’be with her and you. She made th’ airplane reservation that night.”

“Well I’m sure the reservation can be canceled,” Serena said sympathetically.

Serena genuinely felt bad for Shelby. She thought that, perhaps, Monica had overreacted a bit, this even though Serena herself felt uneasy about the younger fur’s attraction to her and Monica. He was Monica’s responsibility, though and she didn’t want to step on Monica’s toes in the matter.

“She doesn’t even want t’be in the same house with me,” Shelby continued miserably. “She hasn’t been home in days...Sheila either...I guess she doesn’t want me and her t’be together either.”

“They’ve been staying with me,” Serena said. “Martin hasn’t let me or your big sister out of his sight. I had to sneak out just to take this walk along the lake. And Cleo asked Sheila to help out taking care of Monica and me. I guess everyone’s been a little too preoccupied to check up on you.”

Shelby’s eyes brimmed with tears.

“It’s like I’ve already left,” he sniffed.

“I’m sure that’s not the case,” Serena said as she took Shelby’s free hand. “Come on.”

Serena led Shelby along the lake an up toward her house.

“Why won’t Martin let you and me big sis out of his sight?” Shelby asked as they neared the front door. “An’ why does Cleo need Sheila t’ take care of you two?”

“Well,” Serena said, suddenly realizing that Shelby didn’t know about certain developments. “You’re going to be an Uncle.”

“An uncle? But how?” Shelby asked, then as he realized What Serena was implying. “You mean Martin got you an’ me big sis...Preggers?”

“That’s right,” Serena grinned. “The way things have been for the last couple days, I wouldn’t be surprised if Monica forgot all about your having a flight today.”

“So you have...Kits inside you right now?” Shelby asked, staring at Serena’s belly.

Serena smiled and nodded, noting Shelby’s fascination.

“You...You really think she forgot?” he asked, as yet unable to tear his gaze away from Serena’s midsection.

“I’m not saying she has,” Serena cautioned him. “But with all that’s happened I think it’s a good possibility.”

“Even if she has, she won’t let me stay,” Shelby said as Serena and he paused in front of the door to Serena’s home. “I fixed m’self real good.”

“You won’t know until you find out,” Serena said.

“I’m sorry, Serena,” Shelby said suddenly. “I’ve been a horny little pest since the day we met. I didn’t mean t’be...I just....”

“‘Just’ what?”

“I like you a lot,” Shelby said, looking at his feet. “I like me big sis a lot. I love you both. I love Sheila. I know th’ physical thing isn’t the most important part of caring about some one, I know that. But it’s so much fun, and it makes you feel good...I just wanted t’share that with you and Monica. Sheila an’ me have shared everything since before we were born...Even th’ egg we hatched from. I guess that’s why we like...or would like to share with others.”

Serena sighed a little sadly. Shelby seemed so sincere, so mature suddenly, she could hardly believe he was the same little horndog who snuck pictures of older furs in certain compromising situations.

Shelby looked around, away from the house.

“I’m gonna miss it here,” he said sadly.

Serena opened the font door and stepped inside.

“Monica!” Serena called out. “Shelby’s here to visit! Make yourself at home, Shelby.”

Serena plopped down on the couch and crossed her fingers, hoping that Monica had forgotten about Shelby’s flight. Shelby left the suit case outside and walked over to the easy chair next to the couch, but decided not to sit down. Monica hurried out of the kitchen, an anxious look on her face. Shelby had the look of a condemned prisoner standing on the gallows. Serena bit her lower lip nervously.

“Shelby!” Monica said. “Oh dear! I’d forgotten about...I mean today...All the bustle and confusion. H-have you had breakfast? I...I meant to have Sheila come and get you. I...I wanted to tell you something.”

Shelby just stood there looking miserable as Monica made her way over to the couch and sat down next to Serena.

“You...You don’t have to go home. I’m sorry I yelled at you. I’m sorry I spanked you and I’m sorry I grounded you. I...I guess I was a little shocked. I should have at least been a little more understanding. I’ve done some thinking and I’ve learned a few things over the last couple days. I’d like it very much if you’d stay with us. You and Sheila can still... ummm...Be with each other. If you want to...‘play’ with me or Serena...as long as you aren’t a pest about it...Ummm....”

Monica began to sweat nervously. She looked to Serena, her eyes pleading for help. Serena felt a nervous flock of butterflies in her stomach. She knew what Monica wanted to say. She knew also that Shelby would want to act upon the granting of permission to ask right away. She wasn’t sure if she was ready for it, but they had already played with Sheila....

“What she means is,” Serena said slowly with a nervous smile. “Is that if you want to play with us ...We’ll probably let you.”

Shelby’s face fairly beamed with joy. He ran to the couch and flung his arms around his big sister’s neck and hugged her tightly. Monica, once she recovered her wits, hugged him back. After a few moments Shelby turned and hugged Serena. Serena hugged the younger platypus back. When he released her, Shelby looked back and forth between the two females. His cheeks blushed as he asked the question Serena expected him to.

“C-could we play a little, now?”

Monica smiled nervously, as did Serena. The two female furs exchanged a nervous look, both knowing that they could hardly back out of the situation now. Knowing that Monica wouldn’t be able to answer her brother, Serena smiled and looked at Shelby.

“Sure,” she said, leaning back on the couch. “I don’t see why not.”

Serena expected the eager young Platypus to quickly shuck her shorts and mate with her in an energetic manner. To her surprise, Shelby climbed up on the couch beside her and tenderly kissed her lips. He laid his hands on her shoulders, gently caressing them as his kiss deepened. His tongue brushed her lips and tried to slip between them. In spite of the butterflies fluttering in her stomach she parted her lips and met his tongue with her own. She caressed the sides of his chest, working her way to his back. She was surprised at the softness of his fur as she ran her fingers through it. Shelby snuggled against her, his hands moving down her arms then back up to her shoulders before moving to her sides. Serena began to relax and enjoy Shelby’s attentions. His hands moved along her sides and down over her hips.

Monica watched nervously as her younger brother caressed and stroked Serena. She knew that Shelby wanted to do this with her as well. She was torn between becoming aroused at seeing her brother and Serena together and her own fear of being with her brother in ‘that way’. Shelby himself was almost trembling with excitement as he caressed and was caressed by Serena. As he caressed her sides she began to purr. He smiled and made soft churring sounds in response.

Serena smiled and slipped Shelby’s shirt off and tossed it to the floor. With trembling hands, Shelby slipped off Serena’s shirt. He looked down at her breasts and panted softly. He reached out to touch them but hesitated, looking to Serena for permission to continue. Serena smiled warmly.

“Go ahead”, she purred.

Shelby cupped Serena’s breasts in his hands. He caressed and kneaded them firmly. Serena’s purring increased in volume. Shelby sifted his fingers through her fur and located her nipples. As he circled her soft little nubs of flesh, they began to swell and harden. Serena moaned softly and caressed Shelby’s hips. Shelby lowered his bill to Serena’s breast and licked and suckled at her nipple. Serena leaned her head back and purred loudly. She let one hand stray to Shelby’s male sex. It had already swollen out of his pouch and the wet, pink tip of his lover’s tool just peaked out of its sheath. She circled the tip with her thumb causing Shelby to groan in pleasure as his Shaft grew and swelled thick and hard. Serena marveled at the size of Shelby’s cock as it grew in her hand. It was easily as large as any older male’s member and perhaps thicker. She could only imagine how much larger it would get as he got a little older.

Monica had begun to pant as Serena stimulated her brother’s sex tool. Her hand had strayed inside her robe and gently rubbed at her pussy through her soaking wet panties. She watched wide eyed as her brother undid Serena’s shorts and slipped his hand within while Serena stroked his lengthening cock.

Shelby shifted and slid off the couch. He slowly slipped Serena’s shorts down, caressing her legs as he went. After he had slipped them off he repeated the procedure with her panties. Any reservations Serena had had up until then had faded as her arousal grew. She smiled invitingly at Shelby and slowly spread her legs for him. Shelby grinned broadly, staring at her exposed feminine treasure. He moved slowly between her legs, gently caressing her thighs. Serena panted and purred as she felt the tip of his shaft pressing to her slit. Shelby located the entrance to vagina and slid his hot, throbbing shaft into her.

When he was full within her warm wet cunny, he leaned forward and kissed her deeply as he started to slowly slide out of and then back into her. Serena moaned and returned Shelby’s kiss. She was surprised at the control Shelby was exhibiting. He wasn’t simply, mindlessly mating her. She could feel his passion and love for her. She put her arms around him, caressing his back as he slowly thrust in and out of her pussy. Monica whimpered softly as she watched Serena being mated by her little brother. She tried to imagine her brothers cock sliding in and out of her own pussy. She shuddered suddenly and bit the forefinger of her unoccupied hand as she brought herself off, her juices flooding from her pussy.

Shelby slowly increased his pace and force as he mated with Serena. He groaned softly, echoing Serena’s moans of pleasure as his lover’s tool plunged faster and deeper into Serena’s love tunnel. Serena groaned as the tingles in her belly strained for release.

“Oh, Shelby,” She half purred, half moaned. “Faster...Harder...Almost th-there...!”

Shelby pumped his hips faster. He felt his legs tense and his furry sack tighten. He buried his face in Serena’s breasts and his shaft deep in her cunny as his passion juice surged from his cock and into Serena’s belly. Serena threw her head back and mewed out her ecstasy as her tingles burst free from her belly and flooded her thighs and abdomen. They shuddered and trembled and held each other, sharing their moments of climax.

At length they lay there panting softly. Shelby looked up at Serena, his smile hopeful and bright. Serena smiled back warmly.

“That was lovely Shelby,” she said.

Shelby’s grin broadened and he hugged and snuggled against Serena. After a few minutes of touching and snuggling and kissing, Shelby slipped his shaft from Serena’s cunny and looked at his older sister.

Monica trembled and sweat nervously. Serena smiled and moved next to her. She gently massaged Monica’s shoulders. Monica relaxed a little bit but only a little bit.

“It’s all right, Monica,” Serena whispered to her. “You don’t have to if you don’t want to.”

“It’s all right, sis,” Shelby said. “I’ll undahstand.”

Monica steeled herself a moment, then held out a trembling hand to her brother. Shelby gently took his big sister’s hand and moved up next to her. Serena noticed that Shelby was trembling almost as much as his sister was. Monica and Shelby both closed their eyes as Shelby pursed the lips of his bill and tenderly kissed his sister on the cheek. He trailed several kisses along her bill as he caressed her arms through the sleeves of her robe. At last he placed his lips to hers and hugged her close. Serena felt Monica’s trembling stop as she melted into the kiss and returned it. Monica put her arms around Shelby rocking gently back and forth.

Shelby reluctantly broke off the kiss and trailed little licks and kisses along the underside of Monica’s bill. Monica smiled a small little smile and raised her chin for her brother as his kisses moved to her throat. Serena continued to caress and massage Monica’s shoulders and kissed her lover deeply.

Monica’s eyes flew open in momentary panic and surprise as she felt Shelby slip his hand inside her robe and palm one of her breasts. Shelby circled and teased her erect nipple with his finger. Monica sighed softly, her little smile broadening a little. Serena smiled and slipped Monica’s robe from the platypus’ shoulders and let her slide her arms out of the sleeves. Shelby kissed and licked lightly at Monica’s unattended nipple. Monica moaned softly. Shelby sucked Monica’s nipple into his bill and suckled urgently as he kneaded his sisters other breast. Serena caressed Monica’s belly and untied the robes belt.

Shelby moved in front of his sister and slowly lowered her well soaked panties. He gently pushed her knees apart. Monica began to tremble again as she looked down at her younger brother, her gaze settling on his male pride, erect and throbbing. She panted with both anxious desire and fear as he moved between her thighs.

“Oh Serena,” She whimpered. “He’s really going to...to....”

“Only if you want to, sis,” Shelby assured her. “Do you want me to?”

Monica’s voice failed her. She held onto Serena and nodded slowly her assent. Serena held onto Monica and kissed along her bill. She felt Monica become almost rigid as the tip of Shelby’s lover’s tool made contact with her sopping, wet slit. Shelby caressed Monica’s hips as he pressed forward. His shaft pressed between Monica’s outer lips and up against her vaginal entrance. After only a moment’s hesitation, he slowly entered her, filling and stretching her vaginal cavity around his hard, throbbing shaft.

Monica whimpered and blushed brightly.

“He’s inside me,” She whimpered. “Me brothah... Me li’l brothah...Oh Shelby...Shelby....”

Shelby smiled and slowly withdrew completely from his sisters pussy, then re-entered her and slid once more full within her.

“Crikey, sis,” Shelby breathed as he started to slowly thrust back and forth. “You’re juicier than Sheila.”

Monica’s blush deepened. She moaned softly and whimpered in pleasure as Shelby moved within her. Shelby fondled her breasts as he mated with her and Serena continued to caress her Monica’s belly and began to caress Shelby’s back. Shelby’s strokes remained long and deep as his speed continued to slowly build. Monica could feel the familiar tingling in her belly begin to build. Her mind swirled with conflicting thoughts. She was mating with her younger brother. It was wrong, she told herself yet at the same time she relished the ‘naughtiness’ of the act. She wanted the pleasure that built within her belly, but at the same time she could feel the love with which the pleasure was being made. She could tell that Shelby was enjoying the act of mating with her, but more, he was trying to make sure that she enjoyed it as well. The tingles in her belly skirted near release, he whined softly knowing that Shelby would also be close. He would cum inside her. Her brother’s seed would be spilled within her belly.

“Oh Shelby!” She whimpered and moaned as she wrapped her arms around him. “I’m...I’m....”

Shelby felt Monica’s cunny clamp down on his cock as she came hard and hugged him tightly. The added pressure tipped him over the edge. He drove deeply into her as his thick, hot seed surged into his big sister’s body. They came hard, moaning and whining in pleasure, coming down from their mutual climax only slowly, lying together and panting softly when it was over.

Monica looked down at Shelby who looked back at her, an anxious look on his face as he tried to gauge her reaction to what they had just done. Monica smiled warmly and kissed him gently on the lips.

“Thank you, li’l brothah,” She said softly. “That was lovely.”

Shelby smiled back broadly. He kissed Monica and slipped his shaft out of her pussy. He climbed onto the couch and snuggled up to Both Monica and Serena.

“Thank you both,” Shelby said as he snuggled with them.

Serena and Monica exchanged a sly look between them and smiled in silent agreement. As one they dug their fingers into Shelby’s ribs sending the younger fur into a fit of giggling.

The next several days were hectic to say the least. Martin’s parents stopped by several times with Mrs. Mink absolutely in heaven as she kibitzed with just about everything. She had advice for the brides and a list of Martin’s favorite recipes. Martin had yet to tell his parents that Serena and Monica were already expecting.

Sheila did her best to run interference for Monica and Serena, keeping Martin busy with errands as much as possible. Joy stopped by to check with the brides about this and that arrangements for the wedding and reception and Donna brought by Martin and Shelby’s tux, Sheila’s flower girl dress and Monica’s and Serena’s wedding dresses.

The day before the wedding, Donna had come by once more to make the final adjustments to the dresses. Shelby was off playing, Martin was off on one of Sheila’s errands. Monica and Sheila sat on the couch while Donna worked on the hem of Serena’s dress. Mrs. Mink was in the kitchen putting together lunch for them all.

“Stop squirming, Serena,” Donna scolded the she-cat. “I’m almost done.”

“Sorry,” Serena said. “I’m just nervous.”

“Just be glad you aren’t a platypus,” Donna grinned, shooting a knowing look at Monica who crossed her arms and frowned at the doe. “I’ve had to let her dress out almost an inch already.”

Serena smiled a little at Monica’s reaction. Monica had begun to show just a little bit already. She had explained to Serena that she was going to lay eggs in 4 months so she would ‘swell up’, as she put it, a bit quicker than Serena.

“There,” Donna announced. “Finished. Take a look Serena.”

Serena turned to a full length Mirror. Her long white dress with matching cap and veil was trimmed in pink and the hem was adorned with artificial roses. Serena’s heart fluttered in her chest. Monica came up next to Serena to see how her dress looked with Serena’s. The design was the same but Monica’s dress was trimmed in light blue and the hem was adorned with artificial daisies.

“Beautiful,” Serena sighed.

“They’re so lovely, Serena,” Monica said, snuggling up against Serena.

“Too right!” Sheila said enthusiastically. “You two look beautiful.”

“What do you think, Mrs. Mink?” Serena called to the kitchen.

Martin’s mother came out of the kitchen and admired the two wedding dress clad females.

“They’re lovely,” she said. “A beautiful vision.”

A knock on the door drew everyone’s attention.

“I’ll get it!” Sheila said as she bounded to the door.

Sheila flung open the door and found two older platypi standing there.

“Mum! Dad!” She gushed as she threw her arms around her mother.

“Sheila,” Monica scolded. “Don’t be a kangaroo. At least let them come into the house.”

Sheila escorted her mother and father into the house. Her father was a handsome figure with purplish-gray fur. He was clad in tan shorts and shirt sleeves and wore an Australian style cowboy hat that gave him something of a rugged, rakish look. Sheila’s mother’s fur was dark gray and she was dressed similarly to her husband, sans the hat. She was every bit as lovely as her husband was handsome. Shelby came in behind them dragging two large steamer trunks.

After fussing a little over Sheila, the two older Platypi turned their attention to Monica. They embraced their oldest daughter and kissed her cheeks.

“There you are,” Monica’s mother sniffed. “Me li’l hatchling all grown up.”

“You look absolutely gorgeous, My li’l sheela,” Mr. Platypus beamed.

“Mum...Dad...This is Serena,” Monica said. “Serena, this is Daniel and Sally, Me mum and dad.”

Serena smiled and waved shyly.

“And a beautiful li’l ladyfuh she is,” Daniel grinned warmly as he hugged Serena. “Call me ‘Danny’, Serena. Me daughters letters didn’t half do you justice!”

“Monica has written us so much about you, Serena,” Sally said. “I have to admit I was a li’l surprised when she said she was going to marry a male and a female. But I could see in her letters how much she loves you and this Martin.”

Serena hugged Danny back and smiled.

“So what has she said?” Serena asked.

“That you and Martin make her feel giddy,” Sally said. “That you’re both warm and caring furs and that she loves you both with all her heart.”

Sheila giggled at her sister who blushed slightly. Serena smiled and kissed Monica’s cheek causing the platypus to blush even more.

“Mum!” Sheila interrupted. “Have you seen th’ lake?! It’s so big!”

“I haven’t seen it yet,” Sally said. “But I’ll get to it. Right now we’ve lots to talk about. I want to hear everything that’s happened since you three went walk-about.”

“Walk-about?” Serena asked.

“Oh that’s when a young mel or sheela gets th’ itch ta do some exploring. It means ta walk about and discover new things.”

“Please, have a seat,” Monica said to her parents. “Oh yes, this is Donna. She’s been helping with the wedding arrangements.”

“A pleasure to meet you both,” Donna said. “I’m finished here so I’ll let you all catch up. Serena and Monica, remember to tell Martin that Randy will be by to pick him and the twins up at nine at martin’s place. Joy will be by to get you two at nine-thirty.”

Serena and Monica promised. Donna packed up her things and bid everyone good-day.

“And this is Martin’s mum,” Monica said.

“A pleasure,” Sally said.

“Ummm, Mum, dad?” Monica said hesitantly. “About what we discussed?”

“Too right,” Danny said as he stood up and took Serena’s hand. “Serena, Monica told me about your parents. I’m no real substitute and I know we just met and all...But I’d be deeply honored if I might escort you down the aisle as me own daughter with Monica. My way of welcoming you to the family.”

Serena was overcome by the offer. She felt the loss of her parents, she felt joy, she felt loved, she felt a sense of belonging...of family. Tears of joy welled up in her eyes and a grateful smile spread across her muzzle. She looked into Daniel’s eyes, she saw warmth and love there.

“I would love that...Very much,” She said, her voice unsteady and little more than a whisper.

“Welcome to the family, Serena,” Danny said as her hugged her snugly.

Serena smiled and purred happily.

Things quickly degenerated into a get aquatinted and get caught up session. Martin and Monica’s mothers hit it off right away, alternately filling each other in on their children and making veiled hints as to grandkits, unaware that the seeds had already been planted. Monica gave her father a somewhat edited version of her life in Rutwell Forest.

After a while, Martin burst in through the front door, panting breathlessly from hurrying back from the store.

“I got the ice-cream, the pickles and the sardines,” he panted. “They were out of kumquats, so I picked up some nectar...Ummm, Hi!”

“Hello, Martin, darling,” Serena smiled.

Sally and Martin’s mother looked at Serena and Monica.

“You mean one of you is...?” Sally asked.

“I was going to tell you later, mum,” Monica said quickly. “After we’d caught up.”

“I’m afraid it was my fault,” Serena said. “I went into season and....”

“Both of you?” Sally asked.

“That’s right,” Serena said, smiling and blushing. “Both of us.”

Danny burst out laughing as he got up from the couch and went over to Martin.

“Now I like that in a lad,” he grinned and gave Martin a hearty slap on the back. “Gets right down ta business, he does.”

Serena looked worriedly at Martin’s mother. Mrs. Mink looked a little shocked, but slowly, a smile crept to her face. Both mothers launched into an avalanche of advice on raising kits, getting through their pregnancy, birthing the kits and more. Serena and Monica became dizzy as they jerked their heads back and forth between the two mothers.

“Hey!” Sheila interrupted.

All eyes turned to Sheila.

“Take it easy, you two,” Sheila scolded the mothers. “You have plenty of time to teach them to be mommies.”

Both mothers looked a little embarrassed. Sheila crossed her arms and looked sternly at them.

“That’s better,” Sheila grinned. “After all, first things first. Me mum and dad need to get settled at our place and we need to get ready for tomorrow morning. Three of us here are getting married tomorrow, after all.”
