Crysta-Cub Lamia Experience: New Years

AO3

I wake up groggily at 11:30, too much to do before work to try to gain any extra sleep. I look down in arms to find the lamia’s curled up snugly in a ball.I smile down at them as I watch them sleep. Alpha was wrapped protectively around the entire bundle with butterscotch resting against his chest. Both Moonstone and Guardian where holding hands pressing as close to each other as possible. I give both the babies soft strokes to their heads as they slept.

Noticing that I was spending a little too much time watching them, I decide to get up to begin my day and to take a shower. Doing my best not to wake them, I slide out of bed and check on the ferrets, taking out their raw food bowl and cleaning up potty pads. I grab my towel and exiting as quietly as I can.

Upon returning, I find the lamias awake. Moonstone cradled by Butterscotch while Guardian tries to take a look at the ferrets while Alpha supervies. Moonstone notices me and cries out, reaching out towards me. I lean over the bed to check on Moonstone. “How you doing baby? Feeling better?” I ask, stroking his cheek bone with my finger.

Moonstone whimpers at me and raises his hands to be picked up. Sitting on the bed, I gently scoop Moonstone and Butterscotch up. Still a little warm but he seemed to be improving. Butterscotch seems to be invested in trying to comfort the younger Lamia. I gave Moonstone a kiss on his head, of which he chirps at, before placing them back on the bed to get dressed and open the ferret cage door.

“Alright, let’s get the little ones some food, have the ferrets run around a bit, I need to eat…” I list off to myself as I gathered the Lamias to carry them past the threshold of the room. I walked to kitchen, closing off the entrance so the ferrets didn’t cross. I open the fridge, pulling out the chicken broth and raw pieces and setting them on the counter. I pour some of the broth in a small tea cup to heat in the microwave for a few seconds.

I can feel the lamia’s watching, Butterscotch and Moonstone in my arms, while Alpha and Guardian took up each of my shoulders. I then go to the pantry and fish out a box of mac-and-cheese for myself. I dig up a pot, fill it with water and began to prep my own food.

Once I was sure the chicken broth was cool enough to drink, I set the Lamia’s down onto the table in the dining area with the cup. Alpha went over to the cup, testing it to see if it was too hot for the youngins. Seeming satisfied he motioned for Moonstone to come over, tilting it so he can have a drink. “Alright you two” I motion to both Guardian and Moonstone, “This should help warm you up and make you feel better. I’ll bring the chicken over in just a moment.”

Moonstone drank thirstily for a bit before tugging at Guardian to have some. Guardian tries to deny it but Moonstone is insistent. Both of them take turns drinking from the cup. Alpha seemed to have been offering them both words of encouragement and perhaps motivation, if the arm flexing was any indication.

I set down the plate of chicken after a moment. Butterscotch picks up a slice and brings it over to Moonstone, speaking to him as he offered the piece of meat. Moonstone gladly accepts the piece and begins to eat. Butterscotch returns to the plate and does the same to Guardian.

Once my plate of food is done, I return to the table, watching as Butterscotch mothers the two baby lamias. I can hear the ferrets scratching at the gate, but feel it is too soon to introduce the baby lamias to them just yet. I open my can of soda and began eating. It’s nice to see Alpha and Butterscotch work together to take care of the new babies. I enjoyed my meal watching them interact.

I hear a clatter in the living room, recognizing it as cans falling off of the coffee table. I sigh and call out as I get up, “Damn it Papyrus, You serious have a problem with those cans.” I hear Moonstone calling out to me as I begin to leave, I turn back to smile at him, telling him I’ll be back. I step over the gate to save the Papyrus from his addiction to soda cans, playing with him so he is distracted enough to forget his earlier goals. I then clean off the collection of cans and plates on the coffee table, I may not be cleanliest but I’ll get around to it.

I look to the clock and notice that Its getting closer to 2, time really has a habit of escaping me. I return to the kitchen, putting dishes into the sink and cans in the recycling. I hear Moonstone squeaking at me again, I look over to see tears in his eyes. “Oh Moony, It’s ok.” I walk over, scooping him up for a cuddle. I look at the few pieces of chicken left on the plate.

“You guys need access to the chicken, while I am at work… How would… Oh wait, i know” I exclaim to myself, before putting Moonstone down on the table. “Be right back” I say before heading downstairs. Soon enough I’m huffing and grunting back up the stairs with a mini fridge. “I forgot i still have this thing, should come in handy. I carefully step over the baby-gate and make my way up the stairs, going into the lamia’s room, and setting it down next next to the closet. I plug it in, hearing it come to life. I get up, gathering Xena who decided to sneak into the room behind me and close the door. Placing Xena into the room, closing them in for the day.

I open the baby gate, as I don’t want to keep having to step over it and gather the lamias, a the container of chicken from the fridge, as well as the previously used plate. I bring them to their room and place the food in the already cooling fridge. I close the door then turn to Alpha. “Do you think you can open that.”

Alpha flicks his tongue out in thought before flexing his arms and slithering off of me. Taking a deep breath, Alpha begins to struggle with the door. For a moment I began to worry that he wasn’t going to be able to, but soon there was a pop as the door opened. “Hey, you did it, that’s my strong boy” I praised, Alpha beaming with a grin.

I bring the rest of the lamias over the one of the heated beds. I place them within, Butterscotch trying to hold Moonstone down to rest. “I’m sorry I really got to get ready for work. Its New Years Eve and everyone is needed today.” I plea before removing myself from the room. I can hear Moonstone squeaking out to me, breaking my heart. But I have to get ready and go. I Switch from my normal attire to my work clothes as fast as I can.

Making sure I have everything, I go back into the lamia room. Moon is by my feet, grabbing at my pant leg crying. I pick him up and carry him over. “It’s ok, Moonstone. I’ll be back later tonight. Alpha and Butterscotch will protect you and you have Guardian here too.” Moon shakes his head at me, clutching onto me closely.

“I’m sorry, but I really have to go. I got to work if I want to keep taking care of you guys and keep this house. I have tomorrow off so I’ll be able to spend more time with you then. You really need to rest so you can feel better.” I gently peel Moonstone off of me and grab a small blanket to swaddle him in. I make it just tight enough for so he can’t get out immediately. Giving Moon another farewell kiss, I place him back on the heated bed next to Guardian and Butterscotch.

I notice Moon’s eyes begin to droop as he begins to get tired again. I also give a kiss to both Guardian and Butterscotch before getting up. Alpha is sitting on the fridge, looking at me expectantly. I bend over to plant a small kiss on his head before exiting the door and putting on my jacket and gathering up my knife bag and purse to leave. I know I’m already running late as I go to my car and drive off to work.

I can’t help worrying about the baby Lamias while at work, my first few hours slower than I had expected. Once it begins to pick up, most thoughts of the lamias are pushed to the back of my mind as I concentrate at taking order after order. I secretly hope I am able to leave on time, but as the crowd get, I fear I may not be home before Midnight strikes.

“3...2...1 HAPPY NEW YEAR!” Everyone in the casino shouts. I wasn’t out on time and it seemed my team still needed me. I celebrate with my team, seeming joyful. There is a sound akin to fireworks coming from the main floor and as I venture to peak out, it seems that the noise was coming from attendants popping balloons, rumor of prizes began to be mentioned. I go back to my register, knowing that I’d be stuck for a little while longer.

I park my car outside my house, my car claiming it to be close to 3am. I’m exhausted after the nearly 11 hours of work. I move my legs out of the car, feeling the soreness in my legs. I slowly make my way to the house, fishing my house key out and going to unlock the door. Stepping inside and closing the door, things were quiet. Flipping the switch I am surprised by some popping sounds, confetti flying through the air. On both sides of the entryway a pair of Lamias grinned at me, holding little poppers that I forgot that I even had. Tiredly I chuckled, swooping them up and giving them all a hug.

“You guys are totally worth all of this. Thank you.” I beam at them. I check on Moonstone, happy to feel his temperature getting back to normal. Leaving the mess on the floor to make the ferrets’ raw food. I get the ferrets set for the night, Locking them up again and placing the Lamias on the bed. I exit for a moment to brush my teeth before coming back to strip down and crawl into bed.

The Lamias all curl up next to me, Moonstone tucked against my chest, Guardian curling up next to him. Both Alpha and Butterscotch curl up next to my belly, taking in by the warmth. I sleep peacefully, glad for a chance to sleep in and to catch up on sleep.
