Living The Dream, Malissa's Academy 35 free porn video

LTD, MA 35 By: Malissa Madison We were sitting in the dining hall enjoying our lunch, and I was listening to Miss Early telling me about how happy she was that her girls were excelling in their school work. And watching Bree help Alex with her studying between bites. "And what of Miss Alex's Feeders?" I asked her. "Oh they have the highest grades of all. I suspect it might be because their mothers are Alex's father's feeders, educated at the Draconian University, where they hold degrees in Feeder Management." We'd lost Sarah Holt as the Planetary Feeder Manager after Keeli became Queen, she was now the Quadrant Manager for their Draconian Feeder Program as well as overseeing the feeders assigned in other Quadrants, something I learned was a first. Before Keeli no Former Feeder had ever been placed in charge of any feeder programs at any higher level. Now she was changing all of that. Not only were the feeders healthier overall, they were happier. Many more pursuing a higher education as well as putting money aside for a comfortable retirement. I finished my lunch then decided to wander through the dining hall. I spotted both May and Tizzy here with their little ones since this was a quieter dining hall and they had a much easier time feeding their children as well as themselves. And I was surprised that Rachel wasn't here with them. "Tizzy, where's Rachel having lunch?" I asked her. Her mother, brother and sister inlaw were due back from an oceanographic survey or something, sometime in the next two to three days. And I didn't know if Rachel had told them about Ginger. "Oh, Momma she's over at Dr Tsing's. She said she had another checkup," offered Tizzy as I lifted Solar in my arms to look at her little grin. I didn't want to worry Tizzy; I knew that Rachel wasn't going to Dr Tsing's every day. But I didn't know where it was that she was going to. "Miss Malissa, we have an urgent situation in the senior dining hall," called Dr Tremors. "It's Anna, she's gone into labor." Reaching up Tizzy took Solar from my arms. "Go Momma she needs you," urged Tizzy. Halfway there I spotted Rachel, Ginger facing forwards in a front carry harness. She was bent over under the hood of Doty and Missy's 'Bitch'. Her left arm curled around her daughter, her right hand adjusting a carburetor of sorts. She was talking to her, explaining what she was doing. "Mommy just has to adjust the forward scoop intake setting here, and now the automatic fuel mixture control like this. And now Miss Doty won't be Exhausting so much H2O," she said. Then I realized that Ginger was listening intently to everything she said. "Rachel, Anna's gone into labor," I told her. "Would you go get Joanna and Sophie, please?" "Yes Momma," she turned and stuck two fingers in her mouth and whistled. Then I saw the Blue Pony as it sped up to her. Ginger was giggling with delight as Rachel hurriedly strapped her into her car seat. "Giddy up Mommy," Ginger giggled as Rachel jumped behind the steering wheel. "Rachel?" I began but she was already speeding away. "Curwen, Rachel is on her way to pick up Sophie and Joanna," I told him using my earring. "Nona, call Sophie, tell her that Rachel is on her way to pick up her and Joanna. Anna is having her baby." I made it to the clinic as Starlight was carrying Anna into an examination room. "Momma, is someone going to get my mother?" asked Starlight. "Yes sweetie. Rachel is on her way," I told her. "Momma, thank you for not being jealous of my Mother," Starlight hugged me. "I'm sorry we haven't been spending as much time at home lately." "Sweetie, I understand. You just got your mother back in your life and you need to spend extra time with her. She's lost so much time with you already, and I can certainly share you with her." "Momma, Rachel needs you now too. I don't know what it is, but it has to do with Ginger. She stopped taking her to Dr Tsing's and said she's not going back," said Anna. "Greg told us. He said he knows but Rachel made him sware not to say anything to anyone." "Well she's definitely older than they thought because she's already talking," I said. Then it hit me, the Skecksies were speed growing the infants to be encased in the armored Exoskeletons. "Momma?" asked Anna and Starlight. "Malissa?" asked Donnie arriving at the clinic. "Oh shit," I breathed as I turned away from Anna. I had to get my tears under control. I couldn't have Anna worried while she was in labor. "Malissa?" questioned Donnie quietly. "Not now Donnie, we have got to be here for Anna," I told him. As much as I wanted to rush to Rachel's side I also had to support Anna. Then Sherry, Maleeza, Denice, Lyndsey and Rose arrived next followed by Sophie and Joanna having come through my closet with the little ones. Tiffany and Erika then arrived with Greg, Danny and Danial. But where was Rachel? "Sophie?" I got her attention. "Rachel said she was on her way back here. She was going to get Dr Tsing," she told me. "Malissa, what is going on with her? She's acting strange." "Sophie, I think maybe she found out something about Ginger. I think she's trying to spend what time she has with her before, before it's gone." I couldn't hold it back any longer and rather than break down in front of Anna I rushed outside, just barely making it before my tears burst forth. "Mom, please don't be mad at us." I turned around to see Greg there. "Greg, we are family. We support each other no matter what," I told him as I pulled him into a hug. "Now if you know what is going on, please we need to know too." I pleaded with him, seeing him reach his decision. "It's the genetic speed growth whatever you call it." He was in tears himself now. "We don't know how to slow it down, she's growing faster than normal. Not so much physically, I mean that too but it isn't as fast as her mental development." I heard the Blue Pony pulling up in front of us, Dr Tsing and Tsing rushing toward the clinic from their own car. Myumi paused long enough to say, "We've got time here, go talk to her please." She nodded toward Rachel. She was turned in her seat talking to Ginger when I got in the passenger seat. "Hi there Sweetie Pie," I said and handed her one the peppermints I carried in my pocket. "Thank you Grammy," she said as she put it in her mouth. "Momma please you're going to make her sick giving her candy." She had her hand outstretched toward Ginger who wasn't giving it up. "Why you crying Grammy?" asked Ginger around the mouthful of peppermint instead. "Honey you should eat before you get candy. It isn't good for you," said Rachel as she rummaged for a Vegemite container. "But that makes me sick Mommy," she whined. "Ginger, come with Daddy a minute," Greg was reaching in the window and she crawled into his arms. "Rachel please tell your Momma everything." I put my hand on hers. "Let's go someplace and talk, ok?" "W, where Momma. I don't want to be too far from her," her tears were rolling down her cheeks now. "Ok, let's go to the study retreat," I pointed to one close by. I waited letting her begin on her own. "Momma she's growing too fast. And, and now her formula is making her sick. I don't know why that peppermint didn't make her start throwing up. But momma she has to have the high protein from the Vegemite." Her eyes seemed like they'd run out of tears. "Momma I can't lose her. I couldn't stand to live if that happened." She was really, squalling her eyes out now. I wrapped my arms around her. "Have you tried her with anything else? I mean mixing her Vegemite with other things?" "Yes Momma," she was pleading with me for answers. "I caught her trying to eat Waddles food, Momma. I don't even know how she got hold of it." "Honey, we will find an answer, I promise, none of us will stop until we find something." I heard a noise and looked up to see Donnie coming our way, Ginger cuddled in his arms. "Rachel, when did she start teething?" he asked and Ginger turned to look at us. A happy, slobbery smile around the piece of Beef Jerky she'd gotten out of Donnie's pocket. "You better let me take her before she gets sick all over your uniform Daddy," she told him as she was trying to wipe away her tears as he sat down on her other side. "She seems just fine to me," he said but let her take Ginger in her arms. "Ginger, give it to Mommy. Here I have a sandwich for you," Rachel was trying to get her to give up the jerky by offering a Vegemite sandwich to her. "No Mommy, it make me frow up." She mumbled past her mouthful as she clung to the jerky then stuck it back in her mouth between her teeth that were just barely visible. "Momma?" she turned to me for help. "Rachel, let her have it for now, maybe she won't get sick," I suggested. "But Momma, Vegemite is the only thing she can eat. The computers said so." "The Skecksies Computers?" I asked. "Yes Momma," she answered. "We aren't going to give up. But those were for programmed Skecksies encased in their Armored bodies. And look at the Nexies, they eat regular food too." It was true, they did eat regular food, supplemented with Vegemite twice a day. I wasn't sure how much but it wasn't nearly as much as Ginger had been getting. "Have you talked about this with any of them?" asked Donnie. "Rachel, they need the Vegemite because their Exoskeleton burns off the proteins and other things they need to maintain the fusion of both bodies. But they cannot live without that outer shell," I explained what I'd learned from Norie Doru. Then sat watching as Ginger got out another piece of jerky from Donnie's pocket. Already her teeth had almost all broken through her gums. "Rachel?" we looked up to see Myumi. She pulled Ginger closer into her arms now. "Stay away from my baby." "I won't touch her, I promise. But tell me, has she gotten sick from eating the Jerky?" asked Myumi, a gentle smile on her face. It was then that I realized she was making little growling noises as she devoured the last of her second piece of Beef Jerky. Looking up at Donnie she said, "More Grampa?" "Malissa, I brought her something," said Nona carrying a tray from the Dining Hall. We sat there holding the tray as she started eating the Bologna sandwich, washing it down with cold milk from a sippy cup. "Rachel?" she looked up to see Myumi smiling at her. "She didn't get sick. Maybe her growth will level out now." Ginger snuggled her head against Rachel's breasts and closed her eyes, her thumb in her mouth like any other toddler. It wasn't until Greg found us that we realized how long we'd been out here. "Hurry if you're going to see the baby born," he urged as he slipped into Donnie's place beside her, he was looking at the crust from the sandwich. "She ate Greg. She ate real food and didn't get sick," Rachel was crying. "And she's got her baby teeth," he observed. "D, Doc thinks she might slow down now. Oh, Greg, I hope she's right," she hugged him and Ginger woke up. "Come on Baby Girl lets show off for Grandma," urged Greg as he held onto her hands and she slipped off his lap to stand on the ground in front of him. I knew she'd grown, but she was already as big as a one year old. Except, according to the records and the dates and everything they'd taken from the Skecksies computers she was only three and a half months old. She was standing there her little legs shaking as she took a few steps. Sure, they weren't exactly all on her own yet, Greg was holding onto her hands still. But she was walking. We were just in time to see Starlight lifting Jo Anna up for everyone to see. As everyone just gawked at the fuzzy, Furry Wolf pup, Starlight blushed. Anna's face was beat red as well. Clearly they hadn't expected anything like this, but there was no doubt they loved their new daughter. Then Maleeza kissed her sister's cheek and whispered, "So you like it Doggy Style too." Anna gasped and turned even redder. We stayed a bit longer and finally ushered everyone back to classes and home. "Momma?" I turned back to her. "Did you find out what's happening with Rachel and Ginger?" "Yes Honey we did," I told her. "She's not, she isn't going to lose her, is she?" I could see the worry in Anna's eyes. "We won't let that happen," I smiled. "Tank and Sheba have been sneaking her food that wasn't her formula. I hope it isn't what's making her sick." Said Starlight. "You knew she was getting sick?" I asked Starlight. "Yes but Rachel said it was just the once and then I heard Greg telling Daddy earlier," she admitted. "Trust me, I think maybe those two have actually been helping her in secret. It's the Vegemite that was making her sick, and hopefully the reason she was growing too fast," I confided in them. Then as an afterthought I asked, "What were they feeding her?" "Sabre Tooth Rabbits," answered Starlight. "What?" I was confused. Anna giggled now, "Long Eared Chewers, remember the Zoologists finally classified and named them?" "Oh," I finally remembered seeing the memo. They were classified as Omnivores since they ate both Vegetation as well as Meat when they could catch the smaller wild critters. "Momma," I looked at Anna. "Can we have one of Waddles Kits?" "Of course you can," I smiled. "But for now, I need to get back to work." I kissed my newest Granddaughter, then both her Mommas. I headed back to my office to find Fox Lightfeather waiting for me and talking to Nona. "Malissa, you have to talk to your daughter. She needs to stop feeding Ginger that Vegemite," she said. "It makes her sick every time they feed her." "Fox, how long have you known about that?" I asked. "I discovered it last week, and tried to talk to her about it. Please we just want to help, but she got mad and stormed out and they haven't been back since," she told me. "Fox have a seat and I will let you know what's going on," I promised. I began to explain everything to her and what we'd just discovered. Then told her that Rachel wasn't feeding her Vegemite anymore. "I, I wanted to ask you something else while I was here. One First Wife to another." She said. 'Uh oh,' I told myself. "The Spirit Women of the Tribes have gotten together and purchased them a house," she said. "Oh they want to live out closer to you? That's perfectly fine with us," I said. "Actually, it's not by us. It is next door to Night Bird," she sat waiting for my response. "Grandmother heard about the house, and said that she wanted her first Great, Great, Granddaughter to be next to her so that she could teach her the histories of the People as she was taught." "If they wish to live there I have no problem with it," I told Fox. "It gives us both easy access to our granddaughter." I hugged Fox then. "And I am sure that Rachel's mother will want to visit too when they all get back from Mophra." "Oh by the way, Ginger has her baby teeth and she's already walking and talking. I just found out today myself," I admitted. I heard the chimes signaling the end of the school day as we continued to talk about May and Nell. Then I heard two young girls in the outer office. "I know my mother is here," said May. "Her Jeep is parked outside." "Regardless, you may not disturb them," said Nona. "But we need to talk to both of them," added Rachel. Smiling I said, "Nona we'll see them." Nell was already sure footed, and I saw that Ginger was almost as sure footed herself as the pair rushed over to look at Nova and Tammi sleeping in their day cribs. "Momma," began Rachel. I caught the wink from May to her mother. "Grandma Night Bird has us a house next to hers. And Greg and I want to share it with May and Jason." I saw Fox's eyes widen in surprise. "Oh, ummm, Ok," answered Fox in surprise. I had to fight my grin knowing this wasn't exactly what Fox had planned. "Why don't we just call your Daddy and let him know," I suggested. "Daddy already knows," blushed Rachel as she looked at the floor. "We already talked to Daddy too," added May. "It looks as if our children have out foxed us," said Fox. "No pun intended of course." We were both smiling. "Do you need help moving?" I asked almost afraid they would say no. "Momma, we can always use help moving," answered Rachel as Ginger lifted the lid off the cookie jar on the far corner of the coffee table. "Ginger no," she was reaching for it as Ginger pulled out a handful of cookies. "Oh sorry sweetie," she blushed as Ginger began sharing them with Nell. "Rachel, I only put that jar out when I'm expecting promiscuous young ladies," I grinned. "Ginger, Nell," I got their attention. Then I handed them each a lollipop from the bowl in the center. "Momma, please. You know, all that sugar isn't good for their teeth," said Rachel. "Mommy, will you hold it for later peeze?" asked Ginger handing it to her. "See, she understands you," I said as I tried to think of how to advise her on the best way to teach her to brush her new teeth. I was thinking of the toothbrushes I had in my bottom drawer that were samples we'd gotten for the different races, to teach dental hygiene in the grade school classes. I'd been trying to decide on how many of each to order so we would have enough to go around. No one said a word as she led Nell over to my desk and pulled open the correct drawer. "Aunt May, Nell need a toof brush too," she announced. "Here let us help," I nodded to Fox to join me as we found them both an appropriate toothbrush, then the appropriate toothpaste. "Miss Malissa, I thought they might need foot stools," announced Nona as she carried in two collapsible stools for them to stand on. I handed Fox a Kleenex as we wiped our eyes watching our daughters teaching our granddaughters to brush their teeth. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Two days later the first one to arrive was Rachel's Mother. "She's so beautiful Honey," Rachel Simmons was reaching for her newest grandchild. "And such pretty red hair just like her Momma had when she was little." "Momma," began Rachel. "Honey I'm not going to drop her," said her mother. "Hi Gammy," Ginger giggled and blushed before hiding her face against her neck. "She's already talking?" asked James and Gina together. I let Rachel and Greg handle the explanations since they knew way more than I did. Any apprehensions Rachel had had about her mother's reaction to Ginger were soon washed away as she began cuddling her. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Each night Rachel and Greg came to the house to pack a little more of their things. I knew that May and Jason were doing the same thing at the Lightfeather's. And then last night before they started the actual move Rachel and May stepped into the kitchen carrying their house program keys. "It's perfect," announced May. "I love this set up." They held their keys together and pressed scan. They were going to program their houses kitchen to be just like the one here. "Momma's would you like to go with us to start the initial programming?" asked Rachel. "My whole family is going to be there too," announced May. Everyone had already loaded the boxes into their cars and trucks, even Julie and the two '69' Stangs were loaded up and following as we followed Rachel and Greg. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The house was already set waiting for them to activate it. Then with encouragement from Rachel and May they let Nell and Ginger push the keys into their slots and push the activation button together. We stood watching as it began to grow and take shape. On each side was a three-car garage. Then on the north side a breezeway formed and another garage large enough for two Semi's formed. It was almost late afternoon by the time we were able to carry everything into the house and take the grand tour. I heard someone in the living room and turned to find Spider, Fay, Torque and their four children there with Beaver Lightfeather and her new son, Red Hawk. "Torque, I think Old Elk is expecting you out on the patio," Beaver told him. And then I realized that we hadn't seen the men since the last box had been carried inside. People were showing up from almost everywhere, Donnie had our big grill set up in line with two others and then I saw the coolers filled with steaks. Rachel's brother James had brought a cooler filled with a sort of huge Shrimp like shellfish, and was barbecuing those as well. "It is a house warming Barbeque," announced Grandma Night Bird as she led Norie and the Nexies into the back yard. Then we saw the Tanks and FJ's arriving. One thing for sure, the Tribes sure knew how to have a party. It was near ten PM when things finally wound down. to my surprise though as Donnie and Sophie were leaving Rachel carried Ginger to me. "Now you be a good girl for Gramma now, and Mommy and Daddy will come and get you in the morning." May was doing the same thing with Nell and Fox. With a wink Fox said, "Have fun christening the house." "You better hurry Momma so the Great Snail can come visit," giggled Rachel with a blush. "The Great Snail?" asked Fox, and I burst out laughing. "I'll tell you all about it," I promised. At home Sophie spotted Ginger in my arms and demanded to know how I'd managed to get her away from Rachel. "I think they wanted a night to christen the house," I said. "Fox has Nell for the night too." "Oh," giggled Sophie. "I hadn't thought about that," she admitted. "Well you can watch her for a few minutes, I need to go get something from my office," I told her, then dashed through the closet door. "Here you go Ginger," I handed her a new toothbrush and she hurried to line up at one of the sinks with the other little kids. "She's already brushing her own teeth?" marveled Sophie. "That reminds me," I said. "We now have two empty rooms upstairs. And you are the Mistress of the household." "Sherry, Tiffany," called Sophie. "Yes Momma," they both asked excitedly. "Tomorrow you both get to officially move into your new rooms upstairs," she told them. "Have you decided who gets which room?" I asked as I sat brushing out Gingers beautiful red hair. The places from the stem-jack implants were nearly healed now, but you could still see where they had been. But I was being careful not to let the brush catch on the one at the back of her head. Though the others had come out on their own, that one hadn't and I was more curious as to why. Of course, after everyone was in bed we adults began to play, celebrating that our children were growing up and we were getting to spend time with our grandchildren. We woke up at five AM to the sounds of thumping going up the stairs. I rolled over to find it was just Sophie and I in bed. I hurried trying to beat Sophie to Ginger, only to find her in the living room Donnie watching cartoons. She was sitting on the edge of his knees as he gently brushed out her long hair, a plate of bacon in front of her. As I stood there in the doorway watching I saw Waddles begging for food and Ginger sharing her bacon. I couldn't believe how big Waddles had gotten, she would be having her kits soon. Of course, we knew that Tadpole was the daddy. It was then that I realized that Florence wasn't here. She'd gone with Rachel to their new house and I remembered that there were a few Skunks in the tribal community. I was trying to figure out how I was going to get Ginger away from Donnie as I sat tending to Tammi and Nova. Then Ginger said, "I gotsa go potty." I led her by the hand to the bathroom and Sophie stood in the doorway. "She's already potty trained?" I almost giggled with delight. "Yes Sophie. Remember she's growing up faster than children her own age," I reminded her, my thoughts turning to wonder if she was going to continue to grow so quickly. 'Maybe she'll be like the Avians and level out in a year or two'. But already she was well past Avian children in her mental maturity. "Momma?" I heard as Rachel rushed through the door from the garage. "Mommy," squealed Ginger happily as she ran to her. I could see tears in Rachel's eyes, of course Greg was hot on her heels. "Momma?" I turned to find Sherry in the doorway of the Family room. "Someone drew all over the Lizard house." Stepping inside the room I saw that someone had in deed drawn on the glass wall, there was even a chair still there that had been used to get up higher. At first it just looked like a bunch of interconnecting dots and lines. Then I realized they were different star systems as Sherry returned with the glass cleaner and paper towels. "Wait Sherry, let Momma get a picture first," I urged. This could be important. None of our other children had ever drawn on the walls before. There was even one system with a line crossed through one of the planets. In each group the one that linked to the rest was in red. I took several pictures, then began asking Rachel and Greg if they'd ever seen anything like that. "Momma, she draws that same thing every morning," admitted Rachel. "I keep cleaning it off though," she was busy with the Windex and paper towels helping Sherry. "No go red places," said Ginger. "Bad places." "I think the ones farther out are missing in this one," said Greg. "See I took pictures of her first art work." I had a picture up on the view screen now. "Please scan for Solar System Matches," I requested seeing Rachel biting her lip as the first one popped up with the planets name, 'Sol Quadrant, Ceres'. And there they were the rest of the planets in the Earth system. The next to be named was Delphi but it wasn't a planet marked in red it was the moon of Delphi Ten. Then Earta Prime was named, the planet and several others in the system crossed out. The rest had no designation, they were unknown to the local computers. "Hello, yes I need Colonel Zimmer please," I heard Donnie behind me. "Yes I think it is urgent. It has to do with the locations of Skecksies strongholds." "Thank you." "Mina, I was hoping that you could come to the house, we have something I believe you should see." "Donnie?" I questioned. "Babe this is huge. Too huge to keep to ourselves." He was right, I'd feel guilty if the Skecksies attacked another planet the way they had here or even in the Earta System. I was surprised to see my oldest sister with Mina when she arrived. Most of her command was still helping clear up things in one of the Cloud Parallels. But she'd been running back and forth coordinating efforts. That my sister recognized the map right away was apparent. She was looking at the star map then at Ginger. Before Rachel could respond though she said, "Thank you Ginger, I think we can handle things from here." "Sis," I questioned. "Look I don't know how she has this knowledge, but I will not allow anyone to question her about it," she reassured us. "Is, I mean are those what I think they are?" asked Rachel. Pointing to two of the four unknown systems Stephanie answered, "These two are in the I'shiwi and the E'shiwi Quadrants. I'm not sure where the other two are, but we have got to deal with the Delphi Quadrant right away. But yes, I think they're places just like Ceres, am I correct?" she asked Ginger who just nodded sadly. "Do you have enough troops and ships here to take care of that?" asked Donnie. She didn't answer, and that was all I needed to know, 'No she didn't.' Then she said, "Mina contact Marra of the Followers. I'll contact Lone Wolf and Norie myself. We need to be sure that any who can be saved, are saved." And just like that they were leaving in a hurry. Had Ginger really, just done what it seemed like she had done? But how could she have that knowledge? It kind of made sense, if they only dropped off supplies and picked up the Stasis Chambers periodically, it would be difficult to detect the Facilities. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ It was on Millday that I stepped into my office to find I had twenty-one new students. Nona had them as well as their Sponsors waiting in the Auditorium for me. "Nona who are they?" I asked seeing that all the student folders in the box she was carrying were blank. "Nexies, the First Beings are paying their tuitions if you are agreeable with having them here," she answered. Knowing her personal background I was amazed that she was having so little trouble accepting the Nexies. "Are they from Delphi?" I asked. "Delphi?" she seemed a bit alarmed. "No Ceres." Nona had lost her family to a Skecksies attack on the Space Liner they were traveling aboard as a child. There was an older Nexie with each one, and they seemed to be in a parental role. "Miss Malissa, I'm sorry that you didn't get any warning," began Norie Doru. "But these young girls are all about the same maturity level as your seventh graders," she explained. "They were being grown in groups of twenty-one with just enough spacing between groups to develop about ten years apart in age. This was the last group that was developed before Ginger's group." Quietly I asked her, "Why was Ginger the only one left of her group?" "The Facility was running out of supplies. It was Automatically shutting down the life support to the least likely to survive until new supplies could be delivered. Apparently, the supply ships to those facilities haven't been arriving since the beginning of the Ancient Campaign in the other Clouds." She looked around to be sure we were not being over heard. "The Delphi Facility was the newest. They hadn't run out of supplies yet but also the Nexies were not encased in their Exoskeletons either. Star Command has the Skecksies who were still programming the production in custody to try and locate the ones we have no idea how to find." We were interrupted by the arrival of Moll Trill at the head of about ten other young women who looked to be teachers. "Please forgive my intrusion," she began. "I wish to learn all that I can about the education of the new race known as Nexies. And I brought my best teachers and Headmistress Fina of the Delphi Young Ladies Institute." She narrowed her eyes at Nona with a grin. Then Nona looked a bit frustrated before saying, "Very good. You are learning to block without effort." "Moll you're here," gushed Rachel as she rushed over carrying Ginger. "So this is the pretty Ginger Lightfeather," she grinned. "Are you really going to let the Nexies from D-10 be educated in your Girls Academy?" asked Rachel. "Yes I am. And I was hoping to get more information here to provide to their foster parents." "Are you really a Queen?" asked Ginger. "Yes Sweetheart, I am," she smiled as she knelt to talk with Ginger. "Are you excited to see that more of your race are being accepted?" "Yes Ma'am. But don't maked them eat Vegemite. It makes them sick and growd up too fast," answered Ginger. "Nemea, it seems you were right about Barbara. No more of the Vegemite stuff," Moll wrinkled her nose. "Barbara?" I asked quietly. "Barbara Trill, Gnat and I are adopting her," she said with a toothy smile. So, that explained why she'd not been physically in school since the raid on the Delphi Facility. We sat and talked, and she told me that Gnat had insisted on going on the raid. Then he'd personally brought Barbara home to her. Her officially adopted name was Barbara Millicent Trill. He'd also had a long talk with Norie and my oldest sister. In the Delphi Creech as it was being called, they had been using Delphinian DNA. But only from the larger masses, not the pure Fey races. I was grinning with amusement at her choice of names. Did she know that was the name of the first Barbie doll? Then as any proud mother, she was showing us pictures of Barbara who was still at home with her proud Poppa, Gnat. We sat and listened to Norie and then I finally recognized the very young girl next to her. Monique Lunissa, the ten-year-old daughter of Colonel Dominique Lunissa of Star Command Bravo. "All of you parents who wish to have the last Stem-Jack Ports removed from your children, please sign your name on the list being passed around. We will be taking care of the younger children first and then the older ones. And then finally the adults," Norie announced. Of course, I understood why they would want them removed. Unlike the tanks, this open port would allow someone to jack into their brain and add or remove programming. Tanks only had a temporary port that healed over after their official birth when they were disconnected from the Invetro-Tanks. I saw a lot of relieved faces among the older Nexies. They hadn't been aware that they could be removed once the Armored Exoskeletons were in place. Most had taken to wearing a scarf to cover it under their hair. Of course, we'd had more Nexies on Campus observing certain classes since they discovered that we taught the children of the universes what they needed to know in life. And we'd discovered that the oldest were actually, only two years old. Miss Joyce got my attention. "Do you think it would be ok if I offered a few night classes in cooking and housekeeping?" "I'd like to do the same," stated Miss Teala. "I seem to have a few Nexies who are interested in Math and Computers." That one stunned me. "I thought they were all programmed with those subjects," I expressed my confusion. "No they would have gotten those Programs once they were Activated at their destination. But they are happy that they have a chance to learn it the same way as other intelligent races." "In that case, any teachers who wish may volunteer to assist you both in teaching those subjects or any others that they might need," I said. Then found myself being hugged from behind. "Thank you Miss Malissa. We will do our best not to take up too much of their time," said the one who had hugged me. "Oh, your protrusions are so soft and warm," she blushed then looked around sheepishly. "Is it normal to feel pleasure when you touch yourself?" the portions of her face that were not covered in metal flushed with embarrassment. "Oh, you mean your sexual regions?" I asked. "Sexual Regions?" she looked confused. "Our reproductive organs," clarified one of the Jaycee's. "Miss Rachel has been giving us classes." "I'll have Miss Trudy schedule Health Classes for you. But yes, it is perfectly normal to experience pleasure," I informed them. I wasn't sure I felt comfortable with Rachel teaching them such intimate subjects. "Miss Jaycee, I'm happy that Rachel has been teaching you but there is more to it than just sexual pleasure. You also need to learn about Hygiene and Personal Health care." "And this Miss Trudy could teach us these things?" she sounded excited. "I would be happy to help too," chipped in Laura Montgomery. Soon all the teachers who were between classes were showing up to volunteer their help. They were busy coordinating class times and schedules. Then I noticed Miss Marietta as she was helping Nona fill out not just the student forms but the parental information. She had a name book and was letting them choose their names. The last names were a bit more difficult, but they were coping with that. I soon found myself drawn back to Moll and Rachel where they sat watching Ginger playing with a multi shape peg ball. Then I almost burst out laughing when she took out a screwdriver and removed the screw holding the halves together rather than pulling the two halves open and shaking them out. "Look Mommy, I did it," she was beaming with pride. "Yes you did. Now can you connect the two halves back together?" asked Rachel. She only took five minutes to figure out she needed help and asked. "Malissa, would you like to meet Barbara tomorrow when I bring her to day care with Ginger?" asked Moll. "If Rachel can be a Mommy and attend school then surely I can do no less." Then after a second she added, "Poor Gnat will be so worried about her." "Maybe until he gets used to the idea we could reserve him a room at the guest house so he doesn't worry too much," I suggested. I saw the light in her eyes, she was happy that he would be able to visit. I was also thinking that it would be good for Rachel not to be spending every waking moment with Ginger, she needed to let Ginger interact with other people, without her Mommy being there every second. But it did seem like her growth had begun to slow down. Two days later Sophie and I sat with Rachel as they removed the last stem-jack port. I could see already that the place was beginning to heal. "Momma, what if," I put my finger to her lips. Ginger was beginning to wake up. "Not going to happen," I told her knowing her fears, they were the same as mine. At the current rate, the last stem-jack site would be healed in two to three days, much faster than the others had healed over. "Mommy, I'm hungry," she announced a few minutes later after she was fully awake. Dr Tsing had checked her over along with Norie and Monique, and she was given the ok to go home. But I'd caught the looks between the three, they felt something was off about her rapid healing too. They gave Rachel and Greg the standard 'Post Surgery' precautions, to bring her in instantly if there were any complications. As we were leaving we ran into my baby sister, Stephanie Wolfe and her three apprentices. Then I noticed the way Destiny Evans was looking at me, but why? We were waiting for the Pharmacy to have Gingers newly prescribed vitamins ready when Norie stepped out into the waiting room. "Destiny, how happy I am to see the fifth sister," she said. "Miss Doru, you asked that we see you when we returned," started Stephanie. "Yes but I was hoping to have all five of you together. But I understand Missy is on the road and the General is visiting friends on Earth," stated Norie. "I already know that Destiny is our little sister," stated Stephanie. "And so does Missy and the General." "W, what?" I stammered just before Destiny hugged me. There was a lot of explaining about how Norie Doru had intervened, but lost track of Destiny before Leila became involved. Leila hadn't known there were originally five of us stolen from the lab. Then after a bit Norie finally confirmed, the same quick healing that had been developed in the Alpha projects had been used in the Nexies. Only in their case, it was much faster once the final Port was removed.
