Impregnating multiple women, all at the same time, was definitely something he had never thought possible for himself.

It was not something he had ever imagined doing. Not for the decent and ordinary man he had always thought himself to be. That man would not have ended up in this situation. But that man was gone now, replaced by someone else, someone he was still learning to understand.

"I found out just last week, actually, when Mother was explaining a matter to me, and pointed out I was pregnant," Heka began, her voice soft and warm as she spoke, a dreamy and distant look settling into her eyes as she recalled the memory.

She continued: "When I found out about the baby growing inside me... I felt like I was the happiest woman in the entire world... A baby... Benjamin’s baby... growing inside my own body, a piece of you living within me..."

"L... Lulu feels the same way, Lulu is also very happy,"

Lulu joined the conversation, her voice quiet and shy as she reached down with one trembling hand to touch her own lower abdomen gently, pressing her palm flat against the fabric of her dress as if she could feel the tiny life resting beneath her skin.

"Lulu was so happy and overwhelmed with emotion when Big Sis Sara pointed out that there was another soul, a new and separate soul, living and growing inside of Lulu’s body... Haha, Lulu cried so much that day, so many tears streaming down her face, and it startled Big Sis Sara quite a lot because she did not expect such a strong reaction. Ehehe."

[Oh... Wait, "Big Sis" Sara?! Why are they calling her that?!] Benjamin wondered silently inside his own head.

"Yes, Benjamin... I am also carrying your child, just like my sisters," Martha started speaking too.

Her voice was thick with emotion as she reached out and took Benjamin’s hand gently in both of her own hands.

She guided it carefully across the space between them and laid it flat and warm against her own belly, pressing his palm against the fabric that covered her skin.

She continued, "No, let me correct myself immediately — WE all are genuinely and deeply happy that you put a baby inside of us, that you chose us and gave us this gift. I love you soooooooo much, more than I can properly express with mere words, and I think about you constantly, all the time, every single day. Even during those moments when I don’t really want to think about anything particular at all, your face still appears in my mind. I just love your existence so much."

[H... Hey... Too much...] Benjamin mentally squealed, blushing from the sugary love.

She paused for a moment, swallowing hard, her eyes glistening with unshed tears as she continued speaking from the deepest part of her heart.

"You have become a major source of smile and joy for me, Benjamin. A bright light in my days and a warm comfort in my nights. And the warm feeling that comes from our shared memories together never fades or diminishes with the passage of time.

"Instead, it only makes me smile happier and feel more grateful with every single recall of it, every time I let my mind wander back to those moments we shared. I love you so much, with my entire being and beyond...

"And now... now I am carrying a little version of you inside my body, a tiny Benjamin growing and developing day by day. Amazons give birth after a year or so of pregnancy, carrying the child for roughly twelve months from conception to delivery...

"So I will have you with me, so close, for one full year. I just do not know how to properly express this feeling of astronomical joy... I lack the words, Benjamin."

[Silly girl... You do not need to find the words at all. The feeling is practically jumping off your mind and railing me here from the sheer intensity of it!]

Benjamin made a wry and slightly helpless smile with his lips as he murmured these thoughts inside his own head, overwhelmed by the emotional outpouring washing over him from all three women at once.

"Sigh!" He took a deep and deliberate breath, then breathed it all out slowly, releasing the tension in his shoulders. "I am glad that you are all so happy about this situation. B-But just for reference, just so I have some kind of understanding of the full picture... H... How many people in total are we talking about here? How many women in this village are..."

"Muuu!" Martha stuck her tongue out at him mockingly, her eyes sparkling with playful mischief, clearly enjoying his discomfort and flustered state. "You will have to find out that information from each of them yourself, Benjamin!"

[So there ARE more of you?!] [Ben]

"But, more or less, the entire village is pregnant at this point, correct?" Martha turned her head to look directly at Heka, seeking confirmation for her assumption.

"Hm? Let’s see..." Heka answered, tapping her chin thoughtfully with one finger as she considered the question. "I heard that Deva is still a virgin, though, so she cannot possibly be pregnant. That has been the rumor floating around for some time now. And some other rumor is spreading that Lotus did not receive a baby either, for reasons that no one seem to understand."

"Eh? How sad," Lulu frowned deeply, her brow furrowing with genuine concern and pity. "Deva is just as shy and reserved as Lulu is, so she always hides herself away and avoids mating with Benjamin whenever the opportunity arises."

"That is entirely her own fault and no one else’s, honestly!" Martha lashed out with sharp and frustrated words, her voice rising in volume. "In the entire tribe, Deva and Marina are the only two who are too reserved about the whole situation. Marina has not even mated with Benjamin at all! Can you believe that?!"

"I believe we have no choice in the matter anymore," Heka folded her arms across her chest firmly, her expression turning serious and determined. "We must set them up with Benjamin as soon as possible, by force if necessary! Every woman in this tribe by now should not be seeing their menstrual period any longer — they should all be pregnant, carrying Benjamin’s children and expanding our village’s future!"

"I agree with you, Heka!" Martha nodded her head vigorously, her eyes blazing with zealous enthusiasm. "We will tie Deva and Marina up with strong ropes so they cannot escape, and then we will have Benjamin forcefully mate with them whether they like it or not!"

"Wai— Hey now, hold up just one moment!" Benjamin tried desperately to intervene in the looming rape atrocity that was being plotted right in front of him, his hands raised in a stopping gesture as panic flashed across his face.

"Lulu also thinks that plan should work quite effectively," Lulu joined the fray, adding her voice to the discussion with a thoughtful nod. "But... unlike Deva, who is more or less an ordinary Amazon like the rest of us, Marina is not normal at all.

"She is demigod level in terms of power and ability, and allegedly she is nearly as old as Lotus herself, having lived for multiple thousands of years. She will sooner tie all of us up before we can even get close enough to her."

"Ugh, you’re right," Martha groaned in frustration, then paused and tilted her head in genuine confusion. "But why is there such a disparity in power between Deva and Marina? Are both not supposed to be sisters?"

Heka raised one eyebrow high on her forehead, looking at Martha with a slightly amused expression.

"Are WE and the legendary Sara not also sisters, born from the same mother?" She asked, "And yet look at the enormous gap in power between us and her. She could defeat all three of us simultaneously without even breaking a sweat."

"Ack. Fair point," Martha giggled sheepishly, acknowledging the logic of the argument with a small shrug of her shoulders.

"Wait, wait, wait! Just one moment, all of you!" Benjamin yelled, raising his voice enough to stop the rapid and chaotic conversation in its tracks, his hands waving frantically in the air between them. "You all... You all know that Sara is your sister?!"
