Goblin Birth

Jewel, Berry, Prima, the Old One, and Myself were all gathered in Lily's room.

When Berry came to check on Lily sometime between last night and this morning, Lily sat up feeling like she needed to go to the shit-pit and when she stood up and took two steps, water gushed out from her fuckhole and she freaked out. Berry, with the memory still fresh in her mind, knew exactly what was up. So she ran to Jewel who was nearby to fetch the Old One, and then to tell Prima. Lily had told Berry she wanted me here when they came, so… I was stirred from my slumber harshly by Prima, and made to come with. Vera stayed in the breeding room, since Doll hadn't woken up yet, and I was thankful she'd be keeping an eye on her after whatever strange thing possessed me to go wild on her last night and fail to give her aftercare.

Strangely, my dick isn't even remotely interested in getting hard right now.

Usually the damn thing has been erect almost nonstop since I was captured but now it's a limp noodle. I don't think it's ED, so maybe I'm just tapped out? I long thought there had to be some hard limit I would eventually reach, not to mention I also feel severely drained of mana as well.

I was allowed to bring the topaz along, just to be able to keep a dim light going in Lily's room. I was the only one who couldn't see without light, since the goblins were fully capable of seeing in the dark. Old One kept her gaze away from me and her mouth shut for now, not accusing me of using evil human magic, which was nice, because there was no need for conflict while Lily was giving birth.

I was sitting on the ground next to Lily, holding her hand and rubbing her belly while the Old One slapped my hand away to press down on it from time to time. I let it go because I'm a far cry from a medical professional, especially where actual goblin procreation is concerned. Old One was there to see Diana safely born from Berry, so I deferred to her experience, just grateful I was allowed to witness the birth of the next of my cutie goblin spawn.

That might be an embellishment on my part. Whether human or not, all kids kinda look like scrunchy goblins when they are newly born. I cite my niece born from my older sister in my previous life as evidence. It wasn't until she was about eighteen months old and had hair down to her shoulders that I could say she was truly cute. I bought her a stuffed pink elephant which she named Pinky and carried with her everywhere until she turned three.

I guess in a way that's what the bone charms Ivory makes are to the goblin tribe. That and teething rings, though the goblins all come out with sharp teeth from the get-go.

Berry was also next to Lily with me, doing more to support her than I was. If anything, I was at least feeling useful acting as physical support. Goblin females don't give birth laying down. They stand up and let gravity do most of the work. Old One was there to coach her crudely, pushing down on the top of her belly during each contraction as Lily bit down hard on the fat biting branch the Old One brought with her, crying out each time she was made to push. Her stomach distended in places, be it from hands or feet or even a head shifting inside of her, trying to orient themselves in order to find the way out of Lily and into the world.

When each contraction passed, she would open her mouth and the biting branch would fall out of her mouth onto the floor. It was necessary for Berry and I to prop her up, because each contraction stole more and more of her energy. I did my best to encourage her where I could, rubbing her belly, trying to soothe something I didn't remotely understand the inner workings of, while Berry picked up the biting branch and got it ready for the next contraction.

It was about the seventh or eighth contraction that she really screamed bloody murder while biting down hard, and two bloody arms with teeny-tiny sharp fingers pushed themselves out of her vaginal passage, trying to grasp onto whatever part of Lily they could on the outside to help pull themself out. I thought Lily would pass out from the pain because I know without a shadow of a fuckin' doubt that I would have.

Lily wasn't even pushing anymore and this goblin spawn I was responsible for making half of had now mostly breached her entrance, a fat head pushing through her fuckhole. The body of my soon to be extricated daughter caught part way and its clawed fingers digging into her legs now, trying to pull itself the rest of the way out until she finally had, and landed with a splat on the floor, partially covered in blood with the umbilical cord still attached to what was inside of Lily.

"Husband, not touch strong one." Berry quickly ordered me.

My second goblin daughter was born. And she clawed at and tried to pull on the umbilical cord, until a mass of what looked like brains successfully landed on top of her with a bloody squelch.

Goddamn was it nasty to look at, and even nastier when my daughter began to feast on it.

Old One felt Lily's stomach again and declared that there was still another strong one inside of her, so Lily wasn't done yet. While my newest daughter ate the brain-like thing attached to the umbilical cord that came out, I did my best to encourage Lily to keep pushing, while Old One offered some help in the form of a push from up high on Lily's stomach downward.

It took two more contractions for the second one to come out, much the same way as the first, and Lily's little runty pussy was now an absolute disaster zone. It was visibly torn and a bloody mess. My third daughter, the second from Lily also did exactly as the other and began to feast on the other mass which came out with a tug, and also landing on her head, knocking her to the ground.

Old One said it was done, and Berry told me to help bring her to the bed.

I had scooped up Lily, bloody mess and all, with great ease, and laid her down on her elliptical bed covered in straw, while Old One, getting my attention, pointed at both the children on the ground and to Lily, so I think she gave me permission to lift them up and bring them over. They were both covered in more blood now, that gross mass of whatever it was probably the main culprit here over the actual crawling out of their mother that they did.

Was that bloody brain-like mass Placenta? I think that's what I remember it being called from health class in my previous life. It almost feels like three lifetimes away since I last attended public school. I had tutors in this life, and the subject matter was like hundreds of years behind the modern science I first grew up with.

I carefully picked up one of them while Berry helped with the other, and we brought them both up onto the bed, placing them down on either side of Lily's body, looking on as they made right for Lily's petite breasts, to which they began to suckle from, pressing into them with their tiny hands trying to push out milk to drink while Lily looked like she was ready to sleep for a week.

"Hus…band…"

Lily weakly reached out for my hand. I quickly took hold of it.

"Two… strong ones…"

"Yes, Lily." I said, stroking her sweaty matted hair with my free hand. "You did great."

"Not… runt?"

I looked over to Old One, who shook her head.

"Strong ones. Not runt like you." the old one answered to Lily's extreme satisfaction.

Lily smiled wide, exposing her razor sharp teeth in defiance to her own unfortunate fate as the runt of the tribe. Now, I thought there would be more to it, but after the two were born, Old One simply left.

"Isn't she going to clean her up?" I asked, almost mortified.

There is no obstetrics discipline in this world!

Prima and Jewel looked at each other confused, while Berry placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Fuckhole will heal." She told me.

I sighed. In every single movie I've ever seen involving a non-hospital birth, you needed three things: alcohol, towels, and boiling water, to make sure to stave off any chance of infection.

"Maybe it will, but let's help it along, okay? I know a little bit about what to do after human women give birth. Goblin bodies don't seem to be too different from what I'm seeing."

"What want do, Husband?" Berry asked me calmly.

"Berry… that black thing in your room. Can you bring it? And a rag? The cleanest one you have."

Berry nodded and patted my shoulder. "Go now. Return quick."

"Jewel, please let me use the shiny red stone you have, I swear to your Great Protector here and now that I won't do anything stupid. Prima, please go fetch Vera, have her bring the bone, blue stone, and a waterskin. Make sure it's full, too."

"Husband… What do… exactly?" Prima asked with cautious curiosity.

"Aftercare. Maybe it's unnecessary, but I want Lily's body to be as healthy as it can be after giving birth to her strong ones, and that means cleaning up both her and the strong ones. This is a preventive action to keep her from getting sick."

Prima shook her head.

"Don't dare leave Lily cave-hole."

I laughed.

"You couldn't make me leave this cave-hole even at the end of your spear."

Prima squinted at me, perhaps at the way I said it made it seem like a challenge.

"Jewel keep Husband magic. Let Husband use stone magic?"

"Want see what Husband do. May do other goblins if good magic."

Jewel disappeared from the room, and Prima followed her.

"Husband, give name Berry… strong one. Give name Lily too…?"

"Your strong ones, or ours?"

"All… strong ones… from Husband. These… only Lily make."

I chuckled, amused by her answer.

"Alright. I will think of a few names, but for now, just lie back and rest. Know that you did a great job. You're a goblin mama now, just like Berry!"

Lily had a number of leaves in a cubby hole and I gathered them up, putting them in a small pile under her head which I lifted up and rested back down onto them for her added comfort.

Jewel was the first to return, followed by Prima, Vera, and Berry.

Berry had my alchemist set and a fairly clean rag that passed my inspection. Vera had her sapphire and the sharp bone in hand. Prima held the full waterskin. I proceeded to empty the waterskin full of water into the small metal alchemist pot. I had Vera carve the runes for a fire spell in the shape of a circle complete with a power drawing rune extending from one side, which I had Jewel place her small ruby stone onto. It was basically a magical burner like one would find on a stovetop.

I could only feel the tiniest trace amount of mana in the stone at first, so Vera had to pass her mana through it to activate it. I was still mostly drained. With the pot set at the center of the formulaic circle to receive heat, I waited patiently until the water was about to boil before I put the rag into it and let it soak in the heated water. It should be hot enough to kill most bacteria, and it would sting when I put it against Lily's public privates, but it was a necessary step.

I had Vera fish it out of the water with the pointy end of her sapphire bone wand, and at great pain to my hands, I wrung out the heated rag by myself. Then I asked Berry to be ready to put the biting stick into Lily's mouth if need be.
