                                        The birth, last chapter.





A year passed since these events, and you're not exactly sure why you're thinking about it on this day...
You're bouncing your daughter into your arms, waiting for her to sleep. This might be why your mind wandered to old thoughts.

Sofia doesn't seem inclined to sleep though, keeping her eyes wide open. You look at her; You just can't stop looking at her. Seeing her, alive in your arms, gives the feeling of having done something good for this world. Having children is the greatest thing one could hope to achieve in his life. As you think these words, you can't help hearing them in Saki's voice; Perhaps she's the one who put that thought in your mind, but can you really deny it?

Saki: 'Here, let's trade! I just changed him!'

Just as you're hearing her voice in your head, the actual one comes to you, holding little Luka and handing him over to you. Saki and you both took to calling him "Little Luka" as a jest, given he's by far the largest of your babies. If you are to believe the nurses, he was the biggest among all the babies at the hospital. "Good genes", Saki replied when they said that, and she probably wasn't wrong in that either;

You're not a small man, yet his mother was almost as tall as you are, with broad hips as well. "Born to be a mother, this one!", Saki said when you met her. That was about a week after that night with Helga... Or was it two weeks? Details are blurring out in your mind sometimes... But you still remember the speech she made on that day; "I'm ready to leave this world, Anon, I'm at peace knowing that your bloodline will continue", she said... "But we could do more than that. We need to do more than that".

After that she went on, and on, and never stopped talking for a second, lest she'd risk you placing a word in the conversation; She talked about declining birthrates in the country, the disappearance of the nuclear family, about traditional roles in society for men and women, about eugenics, a purpose for us, for our nation, for humanity on this planet... You didn't get it all, and in retrospect, you didn't necessarily approve of all she said, but... Well, you could never beat Saki in any argument, and before you knew it, you were in bed with another woman. Was this one Helen? Or Mia? You mix up the names sometimes, as you didn't see them much after conception. All you knew is that Saki carefully selected them to carry your child, and that was it. You had no idea where she even found them, or how she convinced them... Did she pass an ad in the newspaper, "looking for surrogate mothers to carry my boyfriend's children"? You didn't know, and never asked. Perhaps you didn't want to know. It made Saki happier than you had ever seen her before, and that was good enough for you.

At first you thought it might turn her off you, to know you were having sex with other girls, but it proved wrong; On the contrary, she seemed more into you than before this whole thing; With her condition, your lovemaking sessions were not too extreme, but you still did it a few times a week, without fault. She also seemed to love you even more; Kissing you at random times, hugging you from behind when she managed to stand up from her wheelchair, asking you to stop studying so you could cuddle her as she falls asleep, telling you that "when she closes her eyes you can go back to it!", but holding you so tight that you'd stay with her all night anyway, afraid to wake up her if you tried to leave. You thought she was getting more dependent of you, perhaps even jealous, but... That was so unlike her, that you had to accept that the most obvious explanation was the right one; She was happy.

In the end, you've made ten of them pregnant. You never knew why ten, why not five or twenty or fifty? But that was Saki's plan, and she seemed to think it was the right number, so you left it at that. Eventually, the last one was confirmed pregnant, and for the first time in weeks, you came home and there was no one else waiting for you. Just Saki. This had been a relief to you; With your studies, a part-time job, and having to fuck a girl every day when you came back home, tired or not... It was exhausting. It might've been the kind of scenario a teenage boy might dream of, but it quickly turned into a chore, so you were glad when it was finally over. You thought it was over, anyway.

A few days ago though, Saki was waiting for you as always in the living room when you came back home, and told you she had two good news;
The first one was that your tenth child was born, and all ten of them were healthy. This was good, you thought, even if you didn't particularly care for them, given you barely saw their mothers at all in the past year, other than Helga who came visiting a few times.
The second one, and this one making you happy... Saki was healthy as well. Well, healthy might be pushing it, but... healthier? A new medication had been in the works these past few months, and Saki, without anything to lose, volunteered to try it out. It was a risky thing, with lots of potentially nasty effects, but Saki didn't care; "What's it gonna do, kill me?" she said, serious as ever.

Thankfully, there weren't many negative effects - other than some stomach pain, easily remedied - and Saki's condition seemed to improve significantly; No one knew the full scope of changes in her condition just yet, but you didn't need to be a doctor to realize what it meant that Saki was not only standing, walking normally, but she was also carrying babies around, something that would've tired her arms after a minute, just a couple months ago.

When she told you she "might have some more time left", you almost cried from joy... But when she added "We need to put it to good use" you got worried, with good reason; The very next day, the doorbell woke you up, half an hour before your alarm clock would have. You were about to head to the door to yell at some kid and tell them not to ring on doorbells this early, but Saki got to the door before you did.

When she opened it, there was a girl on the other side, and by her looks alone, you knew before Saki even said anything; She was just like all the others. Tall, blonde, beautiful, strong, at least in appearance; This was happening again. "Wait, we're doing it in the morning now?" was how you asked about it, but Saki's reply was as short as it was worrying; "Mornings and evenings".

And so this became your routine; Waking up half an hour earlier than usual, having sex with a girl while Saki prepared breakfast for the three of you... Running a mile to the school, then run to work after the day, and finally, walk back home - not run again, or you wouldn't have anything left for the girl waiting for you with Saki in the living room.

You thought this would be impossible... Just one girl was hard enough, but two a day, on top of taking care of the babies? Thankfully, most of the babies weren't at your place, the mothers raising them at their own place. Or so you assumed, but Saki never talked much about that. You once asked her who was raising them, who was supporting them, but Saki only told you that "They were being taken care of", and you supposed she was right; The mothers probably would've come to you for help, if that wasn't the case.

You usually only kept one or two of them at your place, and it was manageable enough. Never the same babies either; When you came home, it was rarely the same ones that had been there in the morning. You once came home early and saw someone in a black van carrying babies from and to your place, helped by Saki. When you asked her about it, all she said was "Babies need to see their father.", and you never pressed her for more.

You got used to this new routine, it proved easier than you thought at first. The only thing that was difficult, is that you had less time with Saki. Boyfriend and girlfriend time. She found a solution to this problem too, before you even mentioned it... Now able to stand up and walk, she visited you in school a few times a week. Being the same age as you, no one questioned her presence at University. Sometimes you would go outside and just take walks, or sit on the ground and have a little picnic. Sometimes you would try to find a quiet place, and have sex in the school. Sex that meant something to you, as opposed to your other... duties?

That was your life. After ten of these new girls, you thought this might stop just like it did the first time, but when it kept going, you asked Saki about it.

Anon: 'So huh... How many more girls will there be this time around?'
Saki: 'As many as we can find. No point in stopping now.'
Anon: 'Are you serious? And who is "we"? I'm not finding anyone...'
Saki: 'Anon, we stopped at ten the first time to make sure they would all be healthy. To make sure we would not just put more... defective specimens on the planet. We know it's not the case. You're making strong kids. There's no reason to stop.'

You notice that she didn't answer the second question, but you're not sure you should insist on getting an answer; With Saki, you know you'd get an answer if you asked for it. With some people, if it was a sensitive question, they'd avoid answering as long as they could even if you insisted... They'd tell you that's none of your business, or they'd straight up lie. Not Saki. If you asked her again and told her it was important, she would tell you. The thing is, you weren't quite sure you wanted to know. All this situation was strange... These girls coming in every day, morning and evening without fault, like they were programmed to do so. So many of these girls. The black van... The babies that were all taken care of without any trouble, without any of the mothers coming in to demand things from the father... You'd think at least a few of them would struggle, financially if nothing else, or emotionally. But it never happened, apparently, they all managed just fine. Or someone helped them in a way? It seemed so eerie, unnatural... But it worked. You once considered hiring a private detective to figure out what the hell all that was about, but this would've meant having him follow Saki, and you didn't want to go that far. So you just let it happen. It wasn't so bad, and you were more than comfortable letting Saki in charge; She knew what she was doing, perhaps more than you; She always did know.


---


More years passed, but little changed in Saki's little scheme to... repopulate the country? You stopped trying to figure out what she was trying to achieve, but that was your best guess; To motivate you, to get you to do your part toward that goal, something she couldn't do herself. Or something she didn't want to risk, anyway.
Her condition kept improving, with her new medication working even better than her doctor's expectation.

One thing that didn't go how you thought it would, is that you never worked as an engineer - or rather you did, but not for a private company.
That's what you thought you would do after university, but Saki had a better idea... And as usual, she convinced you easily.

Not that it required much convincing, with such an opportunity being offered to you on a silver plate like that. You had been sending CVs here and there, and already had some promising job interviews, but Saki offered you a great alternative, before you even talked to another potential employer; There was an opening in the armed forces, in the corps of engineers, and Saki had a friend in the army, said he could give you the job if you wanted it. The job security was as good as it gets, the salary you would earn on day one was twice the average salary of privately hired engineers in the country.

The only downside, which wasn't even that bad, is that you had to go through military training as well. You weren't expected to ever have to shoot at an enemy combatant, you weren't even deployed to other countries... But whoever held this position in the corps had to be "combat ready", they said. You didn't really mind, it was good exercise. Not that you needed anything like that to stay healthy, with your daily run and your morning and evening "activities" keeping you in shape... but the martial art training, the combat techniques, the strategies on a battlefield, all these were things you liked learning about.

As time passed, your duties as an army engineer were always the same; Pretty boring stuff, mostly just building roads, fencing areas, once in a while fixing up a vehicle, doing some wiring. Wasn't very complex, you could've done that without the university. And so, for a change of pace and a bit of a challenge, you started taking more and more actual military duties; Training new recruits mostly, leading some exercises. You found out you kinda liked having people under your command. You weren't really doing anything useful, other than shooting at random wooden targets, but it still felt good to be the one leading the action. Perhaps a hidden talent? A hidden passion you just had to try out to realize you had it in you?
Or, perhaps more likely... Saki was rubbing off on you.

When it became more clear to the doctors and Saki both that she wouldn't just drop dead at any moment... She had to find something to occupy herself, instead of staying at home all day long waiting for you to return. And that's when she joined a political party. Or formed one, along with some friends. The details were a bit sketchy, and the way she talked about it, looked more like a random group of people united together by their love of the country, and their political opinions going against the norm.

While you never told her, because you didn't want to discourage her... you always thought it was more like a hobby than an actual political party. Still, it wasn't a bad idea for her to get involved in something, anything. At the very least, she would be around people during the day, something you couldn't help her with, working long hours at your job.

The first election they campaigned for, they got 1% of the votes. The medias said 1% anyway, but that was probably rounded up. It pretty much confirmed your first thoughts, it wasn't much of a political party. Just a little hobby, something Saki enjoyed, debating with political opponents, convincing people on the fence to vote for them. You'd call it a hobby, a passion, but less tactful people called it a "joke". The media stopped talking about it right after the election, focusing on the two main parties, as they always had. Still, once in a while they would make the news when a big event turned bad, some of their prominent members got themselves in trouble, or published an op-ed in some underground newspapers, often some controversial opinions... But other than that, no one cared about them.

After this election, something happened though. You're not sure why it happened or how exactly, but the leader of the party just left, never to be heard from again... And to take his place at the head of the party, rose none other than Saki. That's when things changed. For you, it stayed the same... The job during the day, and sharing your mornings and evening with Saki, and whichever girl she wanted you to breed on a given day. But for her, and her party, things moved fast; She started giving speeches, holding more meetings with members all over the country, they even bought some of these undergrounds newspapers for themselves so they could write whatever they wanted in there, and not just the rare op-ed that might get censored or even denied entirely.

Not wanting to appear uninterested in her passion, her new career if you could call it that, you assisted to a few of her speeches. Some of her opinions were way past 'controversial', and you weren't quite sure when exactly she started talking like that, thinking like that... But as much as you tried to argue them over - only in your mind, as you wouldn't confront her publicly, of course - you couldn't see anything wrong with her logic, with her arguments. She started winning you over, and your suspicious mind couldn't help thinking that's precisely what she wanted in the first place; Why she had you listen to some of her speeches.
With time, she even got you to give a few speeches of your own, as an 'army guy', though you didn't feel that comfortable being labeled as such given you weren't risking your life on any battlefield.

To Saki, speaking, giving speeches, convincing people of anything she wanted to, it all came easy. When she walked to the stage - sometimes still using her cane, for support - she didn't look like much... But soon as she spoke, she was the strongest person in the place. You? Well, it wasn't anywhere as easy for you... You didn't have as much to say, and you always felt slightly intimidated by the rapidly growing crowds. That's when Saki started writing speeches for you; Sometimes not the entire speech, but just a few lines, to guide you in the right direction. It made the whole thing much easier, and less stressful; You knew you wouldn't ever have a blank, you could always rely on her notes.

A few other people gave speeches during these events, and you recognized some of the lines you had in other people's speeches as well, so it was likely that she was writing them for everyone, adapting the speeches for the person talking, their job, the event, the crowd, every important detail. That, or everyone was just straight up repeating what she was saying, as she was obviously doing it right.

The movement seemed to be growing fast, at least from the inside... You had no idea what it looked like from the outside. Media were talking more and more about it, but not necessarily in a positive way... They called it a threat. Threat to the nation, threat to politics, threats to free speech... Thus they tried to deny you free speech, ironically. Thankfully, you had great lawyers among your followers, and some even worked pro bono for your cause, to stop any lawsuit before it would hurt you in any way. Lawyers, army guys, cops, reporters, radio folks, television crews...  You had everything in the group. As weeks passed, you started seeing more and more faces you could recognize in your meetings; Celebrities, politicians from other parties, some reporters that weren't on the group's payroll, but covered the events nonetheless.

What you had most in the movement though, in seemingly huge numbers, was youth; There were a lot of young people at all your meetings, and every time you met someone older from the group and talked with them a bit, you'd almost always find out they had four, five, six kids, sometimes more. The family was an important value for the party, perhaps the most important one. Family, unity, helping our own. Thinking about these kids reminded you of your own; You had no idea how many you had at this point, and were almost afraid to ask... But after doing this every single day for so many years, it had to be well past the hundreds. Saki was keeping close tabs on the whole thing in a notebook of hers, keeping track of the name, the mother, the age of every one of them. The height and weight too, and some other details about their health condition and the likes. She once told you that your children were on average two inches taller than the average kid of the same age in the country, which seemed logical to you, as you were quite tall, and most of the mothers as well. She also said the rates of illness among the babies, of diseases, problems at birth and all other complications, were sixty percent lower than the national average, which seemed hard to believe to you, but it wasn't that large a sample; Perhaps you had just been lucky. Apparently, lots of doctors in the party helped taking care of them, which probably played a part as well.
Whatever it was... You were helping mothers give birth to a lot of healthy, tall, strong kids.

Years later, when the second election came in and Saki's party lost again, you expected her to be crushed... She wasn't quite used to defeat. But she was still smiling, still working hard for the cause, still giving speeches. The numbers might have had something to do with it; Saki got thirty-one percent of the votes, the winning party getting forty-three, and the rest of the votes being spread among smaller parties... Including the former opposition party, that only scored fifteen points in this election, making you officially the new opposition party. Going from less than one percent of the votes, to thirty-one percent in the next election, was the fastest rise of any party in the nation's history. And as your followers were for the most part very young, and the older ones had large families, you could expect that number to climb significantly in a few years, for the next elections. All the media were talking about how likely it was that the party would win in the next ones; Some of them with enthusiasm, some of them with great worry.

That was Saki's job though, and while you supported and trusted her to do the best she could, always... You had your own duties. Both your official duties, training recruits, organizing the defense of the country - after years of building roads for the army, you took a different career path, more focused on commanding the troops -, and your "Saki's duties", making more women pregnant, giving more speeches... Most of the time you were following Saki around, just throwing in a few of her lines to give people a different perspective on the same message, but now that you were used to it, sometimes she would send you to a different place on your own, and you would be the main host for the whole event. When this happened, you were mostly talking the same things she would; It was easy, after assisting to dozens of her speeches, you knew all her lines by heart, and could simply repeat them. And the few times someone actually challenged them, you could defeat their argument using the same words Saki used in similar circumstances. This rarely happened though, and more often than not, your followers would throw the person out before you could even reply to them; Your party didn't have the majority just yet, but you definitely had the most loyal supporters, with great enthusiasm for the cause.

You were so used to this life now, you weren't even questioning it anymore; Girls were coming to your bed at the right time, you would fuck them sometimes just a couple times, sometimes up to five, ten times over the days... And when you saw a new one, you knew it meant the previous one was pregnant. They came one after the other, and you really saw all kinds; Most of them were quite shy, but some didn't make a big deal of this, whether their convictions were strong enough, or maybe that's just the kind of girls they were. Most of them were virgins, which made this difficult sometimes... Taking a girl's virginity when there was no love between the both of you, it was hard.

Some of them DID fall in love with you, which was to be expected, considering you were their first, and how gently you treated them. Sometimes Saki let them stay at your place for a few days or even weeks after they got pregnant; She could use the help, to take care of the couple kids you kept in the house... But she made it quite clear that she was your girlfriend. Your only girlfriend. Just one time, one of the girls - stubborn as a mule - tried to argue her over it, when she told Saki she should have the right to sleep in the bed with you, or with you and Saki both; After all, she was carrying your child, something Saki had never done, and would never do. As it was often the case, you were exhausted at this point, so you didn't listen to their argument much and simply fell asleep. When you woke up in the morning, the girl wasn't there anymore, so likely Saki had won that argument in the end. You never saw the girl again after that so she might not have left on the best terms. But that was Saki's business, not yours, and you didn't question it.

Once in a while, you would see the same girls come again, a year or two after their first pregnancy. Especially those who gave you some of the taller, stronger children. Or those whose children learned to speak at an early age, faster than the national average. Strangely, it was sometimes even more awkward to do it a second time with the same girl. Especially when you forgot about her entirely - who could blame you, after seeing so many - and you would ask her as always if it was her first time with a man, just to make conversation, to put her at ease... Only to have her tell you that it was the second or third time you made her pregnant, after having sex dozens of times over the years.

But life carried on, it was routine by then. Saki's medication seemed to pass the test of time, and you would rarely see the effect of her condition anymore. She seemed perfectly healthy, to your eyes anyway. Every year, around the same date, she went to pass some tests, to see if she still had the condition, and every year the same result came back; "Your body is fighting it out, but it's still there.", was how the doctors put it. Same day every year, she would tell you the results when you came back home, and you'd try to come up with ways to cheer her up, but the thing is, she didn't even look like she needed cheering up; You weren't sure why that was; Was she still hopeful for the future? Or had she made peace with her fate? She didn't like talking too much about her condition and her thoughts on it, and you accepted it. If she ever wanted to talk, you'd be there for her, but you wouldn't try and get her to talk. She was mature enough to know what was best for her.



This year though, when you came back home on that day, she didn't talk about her test results at all, which you found worrying; Had the doctors discovered something else? Had the medication stopped working, and she was back to square one, wondering how much time she had left?
As hard as it was for you not to ask her, you came to the decision that if she wanted to say something about it, she probably would've said it already.

But there was another reason why you didn't say anything... Something was different. Quite a few things actually; First, she was wearing one of your uniforms, the ceremonial one, with a beret. This wasn't much of a surprise, she wore your clothes about as often as she wore her own when you were alone. Usually, she just grabbed one of your large shirts and wore it with nothing under, almost as if it was a dress... But once in a while, she would wear your uniforms as well. With the height difference, she looked half a child in these, like a daughter wearing her dad's uniform, but she was still cute as hell.
But the weirder thing you noticed was... There was no one else waiting for you. Just Saki.

After the usual greetings, you ask her about it.

Anon: 'Is she late?'
Saki: 'Who?'

Of course, she knows who you're talking about, but Saki likes to tease you, to watch you squirm; Even after years, she knows it's still embarrassing for you to talk about this.

Anon: 'You know, the girl? Is no one coming today?'
Saki: 'The girl? What are you talking about Anon? Are you... Are you cheating on me?'

The way her eyes well up with tears, you could almost believe her; You know she just teasing you, but she's so good at putting on an act, it looks real. Had she not made it into politics, she could've been an actress. Then again, acting skills - combined with her intellect - surely help her in politics as well.

Anon: 'Come on Saki, stop messing with me!'

Her teary eyes shine, and her pouting turns into a smile; She's giving up the acting. Apparently, she's satisfied with how much she tortured you for a day.

Saki: 'There's no one else coming today, Anon. It's just me.'

When she says that, you ponder asking her why this was the case, but eventually opt not to; This might sound like you were looking forward to having sex with another girl... Regardless, Saki figures out what you're thinking about, just by looking at your face;

Saki: 'What, am I not good enough for you?'
Anon: 'Don't be silly, you know w-'

She doesn't let you finish that sentence, pressing her lips against yours in a deep kiss. At this point you notice she's wearing a pleasant-smelling perfume, one that she has never used before; "Did she go shopping today before coming back home from the hospital?", you wonder. It smells like fresh wildflowers, and if your nose isn't betraying you, she has it on the side of her neck and on both wrists. Is this a special occasion? Saki never wears perfume other than special occasions.

This sends your mind in a panic, trying to think of all such possible occasions... "Not a holiday. Not her birthday. Not our anniversary. Not my birthday. What the hell is it?".
You think about more specific things... "Anniversary of the first time we kissed? First time we've had sex?" You don't recall the exact dates, but you're pretty sure this isn't the right season. Nothing seems to make any sense, and Saki isn't overly romantic like that anyway. Still, you have to know... If there really is a special occasion and you don't figure it out, she might get mad, and it'd ruin the day for her, for you both.
She must have noticed your mind is elsewhere, and how you aren't giving much into the kiss, as she pulls back to reassure you;

Saki: 'Don't worry so much! I'm gonna tell you later what this is about.'

That she picked up on you being uneasy doesn't really surprise you, but that she read you like a book, to figure out exactly what it was?
After years together, probably gets easier. Though you're not anywhere close to her level of mind-reading.

Slightly more at ease now, this time you're the one who pulls her into a kiss, holding her against you, her feet a few inches above the ground; Saki isn't small for a girl, but you're still taller, and to kiss her, you often pull her up in the air, and her legs naturally cross behind your back. She once told you how much she liked it; Shows how strong you are, and this has always been important to her; "The body and the mind, that's all we got", she said... "We have to take care of them. Like a weapon, they need to stay sharp".
Not much weapon-sharpening going on in the army these days, and taking care of weapons usually means to clean them... But the analogy still makes sense to you. You need to stay strong, and keep your mind sharp. As Saki can't do as much as she'd like to keep her body healthy, she works twice as hard on her mind, reading everything she can get her hands on, studying in a dozen different fields;

You feel her hand squeeze your ass, and realize you were lost in thoughts again. "Focus, damn it". You don't know why this day is so important, but Saki all but confirmed that it is, somehow. Better not mess this up, whatever it is; Has to be perfect.

Without dropping her back to the floor, you walk to your room, carrying her all the while, kissing her, holding her. Once you reach the bed, she puts her feet back on the floor, and gently pushes you onto the bed.

Saki: 'At ease, soldier!'
Anon: 'Yes Ma'am!'

You're not sure where she's going with this, but you might as well play along. You take your shirt off and wait to see if she's gonna make the next move. You don't have to wait long, as she takes off the uniform, revealing what she's wearing underneath; White lingerie from head to toes. A garter belt is holding her white stockings in place, and plain white cotton panties complete the kit, below the waist anyway; Above the waist, you can see a girly white bra with a pink bow in the middle, underneath a white, see-through nightgown. Her long, blonde hair, set free when she removed the beret, gives her a pure, innocent look. She might as well be an angel, you think...

...Or the devil, pretending to be an angel to better seduce you.

She let you appreciate the view for a moment, taking poses for you, turning around, teasing you, then she removes the gown, walks to the bed and climbs on top of you. She comes closer and you think she's going to kiss you, but she moves slightly to the side, and licks you on the side of the neck, starting at the clavicle, all the way up to your ear. When she reaches that point, she moves even closer, and whispers in your ear;

Saki: 'I want you, Anon. All of you.'

You're not exactly sure where that solemnity comes from, she's never said anything like that before... But you're not gonna make her wait. From your left hand passing behind her back, you undo her bra, while your right hand caresses on her breasts, on her throat, behind her neck.

It takes you a bit longer than usual to undress her, as she's constantly moving in for a kiss, to lick you, to rub against you, making it difficult for you to concentrate... And you're pretty sure she's doing it on purpose to tease you; Not that you mind this at all. As she is still on top of you, you assume she wants to do it in this position, and you move your hand between her leg to rub her through the panties, but she stops you, and move to the side of the bed, to lay on her back. You're about to follow her when she raises a finger, and points at you;

Saki: 'Why are you still wearing pants? Take these off, then you can undress me!'

Not wasting a moment, you take them off, and the boxers soon follow. At this point, you notice how hard you are already, something that escaped you as you were so focused on Saki. When you look at her, you can see an approving look on her face - though she doesn't say anything - and she even licks her lips in anticipation.

You move in to undress her, but as you're about to undo the clips of her stockings, she objects;

Saki: 'I want to keep them! Just take the panties off!'

You're puzzled, just an instant; You can't take panties off without taking the stockings first, can you? But as you look closer, you see the panties are laced on the side, precisely so you can do just that. Smiling at this sight, realizing Saki thought of everything as always, you undo the laces and take the panties off, exposing Saki's pussy, just below a small growth of pale, blond hair. Most of it is shaved clean, but she likes to keep just a little, always, as if to prove to you - or to herself - that she's blonde all over.

Without wasting a second, you try to position yourself to lick her down there, but she pulls you until you're face to face with her.

Saki: 'Don't worry, I'm good down there!'

Even after so many years with her, the way she speaks about these things without any shame still surprises you. Still turns you on as well, you have to admit.
As if she needed to prove her words, she touches herself between the legs with her fingers, then brings them to your mouth, letting you taste her;

Saki: 'See? Now, kiss me again!'

Before you can even reply, her tongue makes her way inside your mouth, and as her juices are still on your tongue, you know she's tasting herself, which doesn't seem to bother her at all. She interrupts the kiss just to utter a word or two, then kisses you again, until she finishes her sentence;

Saki: 'I will... have... a surprise for you... after.'

Yep, it's definitely a special occasion.

Anon: 'You sure you don't want to tell me right now?'
Saki: 'I'm sure I want you to make love to me right now. You'll know soon enough!'

It doesn't take more than that for you to get into action; She apparently has a plan for tonight, and whatever it is, might as well let her have it her way. You kiss her again quickly, a tease of your own to get back at her, then move your hand between her legs. She wasn't lying; She's definitely good down there. Whatever she has in mind, it's putting her in the right mood.
Still, you play with her for a moment, teasing her with your fingers, watching her squirm on the bed, knowing full well what she wants, but would never go as far as begging for it;

Begging had never been Saki's style. She takes what she wants... And today is no different, as she takes your hands off her, and pulls you by the shoulders until you're laying on top of her. She grabs your erection in her right hand while holding you close to her with the other, making sure you won't try to play, to tease her some more.

Conceding her the victory, you move closer to her as she guides you inside, letting out a cute, barely audible gasp as you enter her. Saki was never in great shape due to her condition, and you already notice her breathing is getting a bit heavier, and she's sweating slightly, but she seems better than she used to be. Much better.
You move a strand of hair off her face, to see her smiling underneath. She's so beautiful, you can't resist kissing her again, all the while keeping on with the motion 'down there', as she would say.

Her arms come behind your back to hold you against her, it's as if she was hugging you and not having sex with you; "Making love", you think. You're often more energetic during sex, Saki not having any shame with you, always willing to try new positions, new kinks... But this time she seems to want it to be lovely. Romantic. You're certainly not going to object; After doing it with so many girls you barely knew, girls who meant nothing to you... Doing it like this, with the girl you love, the girl who means everything to you, there's nothing's better than that.

Saki knows you well enough to know when you're getting close, and you feel her legs closing behind you as if she wanted to hold you so you can't pull out; Not that you had any such intention.

Saki: 'I want it inside me Anon!'

This certainly isn't the first time you've done it - with her naughty mind, you've cum in all her holes, on her face, just about anywhere you can possibly imagine - but she rarely asks you specifically to cum somewhere; You usually just go with the flow of the moment.
It's so unlike her, that you almost want to pull out and cum on her belly just to tease her a little, but when you try to move backward just an inch, you feel her legs holding you against her, and when she realizes what you're doing, she tightens her hold even more, and slaps your ass, hard. You're not entirely sure whether she's punishing a disobedient lover, or trying to push you over the edge... But the latter definitely happens; When she sees the expression she knows so well on your face, she gives you one last, deep kiss, then rests her head back on the bed and moans, as you cum inside her;

-

You stay like that for a moment, catching your breath, then, after another quick kiss, she finally allows you to move to the side, to lay on the bed next to her. She let you rest a few minutes, then speaks up;

Saki: 'So, you want your surprise?'

Somehow you completely forgot about that.

Anon: 'Oh... Sure! What is it?'
Saki: 'On the nightstand! in the bag.'

A gift? It's not your birthday. You grab the bag and look inside it. A folded sheet of paper, and... Birth control pills?

Anon: 'Your pills, that's my surprise? Do you need me to get you a refill? I'm tired, do you really need it tonight?'

She looks like she's trying to hold a laugh;

Saki: 'Count them, Anon!'

Your mind is as tired as your body, and you're not sure what she wants from you, but when you look at the pills, you notice something; "Wait, what? Can't be right..."

Anon: 'You didn't take your pills in the last two weeks?'

She smiles and takes the bag from your hand, and the paper that was inside. She unfolds it and shows it to you, explaining as you read it for yourself;

Saki: 'The medication worked, Anon. It took them twelve fucking years to find the right formula, but it worked!'

You can't find any word to reply, or any way to react to this, and she continues;

Saki: 'I'm cured, Anon. Which means we can have babies. Raise a family together.'

Lost for words, all you can do is to take her in your arms and hold her against your chest. She holds you in turn, and when she starts shaking, at first you think she's about to laugh again, and you fear a bad, terrible joke... Then you realize she's crying.
Not only that, but after a few seconds where you're not sure how to react, you realize why this felt so weird; This is the first time you've ever heard, ever seen her cry. All these years together, through good and bad times, with her condition, these times when she was in so much pain she could barely get out of bed... She has never cried, not once. She kept it all for today.

The first tears Saki allowed herself to cry out, were tears of joy;


---


It's been some time since that night, and things are back to normal, with minor differences; You only get to be with another girl in the mornings now. The nights are all Saki. This suits you well, as you get to spend more time with the girl you love, and more time to rest as well... Though after so many years doing it, you've grown used to it, and now that you have more time, you've even built a small gym in your home, so you can train. Saki insisted you also got yourself a library card and recommended good books for you to read, mostly philosophical and political stuff. Never derogating from her "Keep body and mind sharp" principle.

One night as you come home, she's sitting at the table, wearing parts of your uniform again; Just the shirt, by the look of it, and she's wearing a white dress under. But what gets your attention is the small box in front of her. Saki speaks up before you even ask;

Saki: 'Another surprise!'

This time you have a decent idea what the surprise is about; You've noticed that Saki had been eating more lately, but somehow you don't think this is what explains all her shirts being tighter at the belly... Still, you can't get yourself to speak the words. It seems too sudden, from thinking for more than a decade that you wouldn't ever get to raise a family together, and then...

Not wanting to think too much about it, just in case you are wrong, you walk to the table and reach to open the box. What you find inside confirms your first guess; There's not one, not two, but seven pregnancy tests, all showing the same thing. Saki left nothing to chance.

Saki: 'I've known for a few weeks now Anon. I wanted to wait before telling you, to make sure there's wouldn't be any problem...'

You feel your eyes tearing up, and force yourself to look at her, but still struggle coming up with words.

Anon: 'Is... Is it...?'
Saki: 'It's healthy, Anon! Doctors confirmed it. You're going to have a strong, healthy son!'

Without thinking, you walk to Saki and hug her as she sits on the chair. You make sure to avoid holding her too tightly, even if it's just been a few weeks and her belly barely even shows. You feel a bit silly, but you're certainly not the first father to behave that way.

After a look at Saki's eyes - as if to ask permission - you gently press a hand on her belly, even though you can't feel much just yet, and won't feel much for months. It still feels great, and judging by Saki's reaction, she feels the same as you do.

You embrace her once more, and this time, you both cry together;


---


Later that night, as you're laying on the bed, cuddling her with your hand on her belly, you can't help but think about something; A weird thought, but you just can't chase it off your mind. "A strong son", she said... You're going to have a strong son. As the thought simply refuses to go away, and sleep isn't coming, you decide to ask.

Anon: 'How many are there?'
Saki: '...Hmm?'

You're not sure whether she's confused or just sleepy. Probably a bit of both. You ponder letting her fall back to sleep, but you'd probably ask again on the morrow if you did. Might as well get it out of the way;

Anon: 'How many do I have?'

Saki opens her eyes, and when she realizes what you're asking, she turns around to face you.

Saki: 'You must have a rough idea Anon, no? How many you've been with?'
Anon: 'Well... I mean yeah, of course. Has to be in the hundreds now right?'

She smiles gently, like you were a child asking her if the moon is made of cheese and she wasn't sure whether she's supposed to tell you the truth, or just play along.

Saki: 'You're well past the hundreds, Anon. You've been doing this every day for over a decade! You're above a thousand now.'

"A thousand?"... You never really cared about it until now, but your mind has trouble even grasping how many children that is. You also realize how long you've been doing this... You still call them "children", but the first ones are probably adults now, or close enough. You're not sure what to say to that, or even what to think;

Anon: 'A thousand? That's... Is it even possible?'

Saki grabs the notebook she keeps in her nightstand, flips to a page in the middle, and reads the last line.

Saki: 'One thousand, four hundred eighty-seven children. That's how many you have, Anon. Including those on the way.'

She pauses a moment, seemingly lost in thoughts, holding a hand on her belly; After a minute, she smiles again, and opens her notebook once more to write something in large letters, taking an entire page;

Saki: 'One thousand, four hundred eighty-eight. This one is the one thousand four hundred eighty-eighth of your children. But this one is special, Anon. This one is ours'.

This is madness... You still try to wrap your mind around this, but you feel yourself surrendering to a rare crisis, a panic...

Anon: 'I have over fourteen hundred children? This is... What are we doing, Saki? What are we gonna do with them? That's like a freaking army! '

Just as you finish your sentence, part of you wants to go back in time so you can hold these words in your mouth, and never let them out. It hits you like a revelation;
The children... your officer position in the military... Saki's position in politics... All pieces of the same puzzle, one that you never solved because Saki never told you there even was a puzzle.
You might've realized what was going on years ago if you knew how to look at the big picture...

Saki pulls the bed sheets off her, as this is obviously not a conversation she wants to have while cuddling you from under the warmth of these sheets.
She sits on the bed and looks you straight in the eyes, serious as you've never seen her before.
You feel like you already know what she's going to say, but you can't stop it now, and you simply wait for her to speak the words;

Saki: 'An army needs a purpose, Anon.'


The end.
