The Seed

They returned to Sanantha's apartment. One minute they were in the White Room, and the next they were back, as if they had never left.

Sanantha turned to Fornicata. "You will stay here and continue your voice lessons."

"Yes, Mistress."

She turned to Herb and Evie, staring a long moment at Evie's naked body, especially her trim pubic hair and slender cuntlips. "You two I think can chart a different path. Ihan, I want you to impregnate Duradnei."

Herb's jaw dropped open. "You want me to impregnate... my sister?"

"Is that a problem?" said Sanantha.

Herb's eyes went wide. "No! No problem!" He saw Evie about to speak, but shot her a warning look. "We... we'll start immediately, of course. I just have no idea how long it will take-"

"Tonight," said Sanantha.

"What?"

"You will impregnate her tonight," said the giant redhead impatiently.

"Tonight? But... what if we can't-"

"You can. Ihan will show you how," she said.

Herb and Evie exchanged nervous looks. "Mistress," Evie began. "I just had my period a few days ago. There's no way-"

"There

is

a way," said Sanantha bluntly. "You will be pregnant by tomorrow morning. Fornicata, see to it."

"Yes, Mistress," said Fornicata.

********

Herb and his sister were in a coffee shop. Evie was eating a piece of pecan pie. Herb was eating cherry pie.

"So what is that place?" she asked. "Where is it?"

"I don't know," said Herb. "The White Room is like... some kind of other dimension. Our bodies seem to be here while we're there. Maybe it's a dream except..."

"Except what?"

"Things that happen there, also happen here," said Herb, remembering what had happened to poor Kate.

"What kind of things?" Evie asked.

Herb ate more of his pie.

"So... you're going to knock me up tonight?" Evie tried to make light of it.

"Yes," said Herb.

"Have you thought of the implications of that? You and me having a child?" She forked some pie into her mouth. "I mean, I like you now, Herb," she said, giving him a wry smile as she used his real name. "I really do! Sex with you is incredible, ten times better than I had with my high school sweetheart Bob!" She smiled appreciatively at him.

"Thanks!" Herb looked pleased.

"You're welcome!" Evie ate him up with her eyes. "You really are cute! I wonder why I never saw it before. But anyway... having sex is one thing. Having a child with my brother is

something else

. Do you realize the kind of problems that could cause?"

"I don't think it will be a normal baby," said Herb slowly.

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know," said Herb. He ate another piece of pie.

"We won't just be lovers, Ihan. We'll be parents," said Evie. "I... I don't want to do this. I think it goes too far. But... Duradnei insists. She's given me no choice. So I... I must obey." She reached out and took his hand. "Tell me what you're feeling."

"It's... strange... for me too," said Herb. "I... I never thought about making a baby with you, or anyone else right now! But... on the other hand..."

"On the other hand what?" she asked eagerly.

Herb said, "The chance to knock up my sexy sister... it excites me!

You

excite me, Evie!"

"Oh Herb!" She leaned forward and kissed him strongly.

********

"I can't believe I'm going to be a grandmother!" said Fornicata. She was not their mother Lydia anymore, not exactly, but she

did

have Lydia's memories. "Your baby is going to be so cute! Have you thought of names?"

"We're just starting tonight, Mom. It's a little early for names," said Evie.

"It won't take long," said Fornicata.

"What does that mean?" said Evie.

"The child you give birth to could be

Karinko

."

"

Karinko

?"

"The one who will free the Great One. Who will create

Fanshen

." She saw their puzzled stares. "Sanantha must have sensed great potential in both of you."

"Our baby will free Omni?" said Evie. "The giant blue statue thing?"

"It's possible," said Fornicata. "If your offspring can do the Tasks and walk the Pattern."

Evie shivered. She wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not.

********

An hour later Evie walked into Herb's bedroom. She was wearing a bright pink nightie that barely came down to her waist, and she wasn't wearing any panties. The nightie just barely covered her pubis. She also wore matching pink eye shadow and bright red lipstick.

"What do you think?" she asked, twirling around.

"I think I want to fuck you," said Herb, in a deep manly voice.

"You do?" Evie asked, feeling incredibly pleased.

"I think you make my dick hard," said Herb, in the same low, manly tone. "Come here, little girl."

Evie, chortling,

flew

into his arms. They immediately started kissing and hugging.

Herb hugged her tightly. "When I see you in such a sexy outfit my first instinct is to take it off of you. Isn't that contradictory?" he asked, as he pulled her pink nightie over her head.

"Terribly, terribly contradictory," Evie agreed, as she sat naked on his lap. She could barely contain her excitement! She wrapped her legs around him and settled down for a hot and heavy kissing session. It wasn't long before Herb's clothes were off and he was hard, just as he promised.

"Is this for

me

?" Evie asked, as she palmed his hard dick.

"For you and no one else," Herb grinned.

"Oh Ihan!" she kissed him hard. "I'm not sure about this whole pregnancy thing, but I think we're going to have a lot of fun doing it!"

Evie was so head over heels in love with him. It was amazing what a few days on the Seed could do to her. Of course, once Duradnei took over Evie's mind completely, she would become a totally different person, just as his mother Lydia did when she became Fornicata. Herb mentally steeled himself for that time when his sister's personality would disappear completely.

But the future was another day and time. Evie squealed as he lifted her up and gently lowered her on the bed. She quickly wrapped her legs around him as he got on top of him, eager to draw him into her. "Give it to me hard, brother," she breathed.

"I will," Herb promised, and he sank himself into her in one firm move. He loved the way her eyes went wide as he penetrated her. As he moved inside of her, he stared intently at his sister's belly.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"I am

screaning

you," he said.

"What?" said Evie.

"Link with me," said Herb.

"What?"

"Link with me," he repeated.

Evie didn't know how, but somehow she did. She saw what Herb saw. And right now Herb was using his

screaning

ability to look deep inside her body on a micro level. He was staring at one particular part of her body. "What is that?" she asked.

"Your left ovary," said Herb. "I just need to stimulate it... just... like... that..."

As Evie watched, she saw a tiny egg dislodge itself from her ovary. It started to slide down her fallopian tube. "How did you do that?"

"I don't know," said Herb.

But Ihan did.

Herb felt his mind guiding the fragile egg down his sister's fallopian tube. Too much pressure and it would disintegrate. Down, down, down. As Herb's penis moved inside his sister's vagina, his mental energies were being used to move the egg until it landed in his sister's uterus.

There, got it.

"You're ready," he said.

"Ihan, you, you made me ovulate! That... that was incredible!" Evie gave him a strong kiss. "You're

amazing

, Ihan!"

Herb grinned, and began to thrust faster and faster inside his sister's pussy.

"I love you," said Evie dearly. "I love you so much, Ihan!"

Herb's penis tightened up. "And I love you, Duradnei!"

They kissed passionately as Herb felt his climax rapidly approaching.

But as he was about to climax, Evie's face changed. It was no longer Evie he was making love to.

It was Donna Besch.

No!

Herb cried out as his penis released piping hot seed inside of her. But it was the face of Donna Besch which reacted to it, gasping and going wide eyed as he filled her completely.

No... no... mustn't think of Donna Besch! Sanantha will find out!

And then it was over. Herb blinked and saw his sister smile at him with a very lazy look on her face. She rubbed her cuntlips, which were engorged with a hot silvery liquid.

Inseminated.

Ihan tugged at his thoughts.

He still had work to do.

He focused with his mind again on her belly.

"What are you up to now, Ihan?"

"Link with me and see."

Evie saw what Herb saw once more. He was staring on a micro level at his sister's uterus, which was now swarming with sperm.

His sperm, swimming inside his sister's cunt!

It took several moments of looking to find the egg.

There!

Then Herb reached out with his mind and slowly and carefully directed one of his sperm to Evie's egg.

"Is that... inside me?"

Herb nodded.

Evie's jaw dropped open.

There you go, little one.

Herb and Evie watched breathlessly as his sperm got closer and closer to the egg. Closer... closer... it impacted! And then it disintegrated.

"What happened to it?" Evie asked.

Herb frowned and slowly shepherded a second sperm to the egg. It made its way there and started to drill. Evie watched in Herb's mind. "Drill, baby, drill," she whispered as she watched the battle for reproduction inside her own uterus. Herb's sperm drilled into the egg, but wasn't making much headway.

"What's wrong with it?" Evie cried.

Herb directed three more sperm to his egg. They started to attack it from several sides. One of them drilled into it, and immediately started to make some headway.

"Yes!" said Evie. "Is it..."

The sperm moved deeper and deeper, reaching the center of the egg. Then the egg started to boil and bubble.

"Is that it? Did we do it?" said Evie.

"I just have to make sure it sticks to your uterine wall," said Herb. He used his mental energy to gently move the egg in place.

"How do you know how to do all this?" Evie asked.

Herb didn't answer. He was concentrating. Too much energy and the fertilized egg would shatter. He pressed it slowly against the wall and watched, and waited. As he watched, he saw the egg beginning to attach to it.

"We did it," said Herb. "I think we did it."

"We did it? I'm pregnant?"

"Yes, you are!" said Herb.

"Mom, Mom, come here! I'm pregnant, I'm pregnant!" Evie cried.

Fornicata, formerly Lydia Rayburn, entered the bedroom quickly, much too quickly. She must have been waiting outside the door, Herb thought.

"I'm pregnant! Herb got me pregnant!" Evie was all grins as she rubbed her mushy cuntlips.

Fornicata hugged them both. She didn't seemed bothered by the fact that her son had impregnated her daughter, or that her daughter had her son's sticky sperm dripping out of her. "You have done well, daughter," she said. "Our Mistress will be pleased."

*********

"Are you happy?" Sanantha asked. She eyed the Rayburn family standing in a line in front of her.

"Very happy," said Evie, grinning from ear to ear.

"Good." Sanantha eyed Herb. "And you, Ihan. Are you pleased to have impregnated your sister?"

"Yes, Mistress," said Herb. "I look forward to expanding the Empire."

"I'm sure you do," said Sanantha, giving him a wink which thrilled him. She knew all too well the part of it which Herb liked best. She turned to Evie."Duradnei, it is possible that the child you give birth to could be

Karinko

, the one who will be able to walk the Pattern and free the Great One from captivity and bring about

Fanshen

. Would that please you?"

"Yes, Mistress," said Evie.

She was lying

. Sanantha

screaned

it clearly. The girl was smitten with her brother, nothing more. But that didn't matter.

"If that happens, I will become

Niblet

, second only to the Great One, and all those associated with me, even slaves such as yourself, will be rewarded," she said. She turned to Herb. "You will be responsible for your sister's safety during her pregnancy. Guard her with your life, Ihan."

"I will, Mistress."

"Mistress?" Evie said.

"A question, Duradnei?"

"Yes. Do we have any duties at present?" she asked.

"Your mother continues her singing lessons under my tutelage. But for now you and your brother are free... to enjoy each other. That is what you were asking, wasn't it, Duradnei?"

"Yes, Mistress. Thank you, Mistress," said Evie.

Sanantha

screaned

every one of them in turn, mother, son, daughter. Then she nodded slowly. "You're dismissed."

*******

Evie and Herb walked home, hand in hand, passing through the sprawling campus of the University of Vega, which they both attended. With all the fucking they had done they hadn't had much time for classes. Evie had a marvelous smile on her face. "Just think, Ihan! We'll be able fuck for months and months!"

"I'm not sure it's going to last that long," said Herb.

"What do you mean?" said Evie.

"I don't know. It's just a feeling," said Herb.

"Well,

I

have a feeling too." She spun him around and gave him a long, hard kiss. When she pulled back, Herb looked over her shoulder and his eyes widened.

"Herb!" a familiar voice cried.

It was Donna Besch.

"Donna... what are you doing here?" Herb stammered, even as his mind shouted

"Danger, Danger!"

"I'm a medical student, don't you remember?" said Donna, eyeing him oddly. "Aren't you going to introduce me to your new friend?"

His new friend.

The last time they had talked, Herb had practically admitted to fucking Professor Kathy Sullivan.

That was his old friend.

"This... this is Evie," he said, with a tight smile.

"Evie, nice to meet you," said Donna. She frowned. "You look familiar, Evie, have we met before?"

"We might have," said Evie. "But not formally. In my house, remember?"

"Your house?" said Donna.

"

Our

house." She squeezed Herb's hand. "When you delivered the Methacondone to my Mom, remember?"

Donna got a puzzled look on her face. "You..."

"She's my sister, yes," said Herb.

"Oh. Oh," said Donna. She struggled to hide her facial reaction. "Oh," she said a third time.

She had seen them kissing.

"It's nice to see you Donna, but we really have to be going," said Herb, even as Evie grinned and rubbed her belly, as if wishing that Donna could sense her pregnancy. He forced marched Evie away. "Nice talking to you!"

Donna looked after them with a confused look on her face.

First his teacher, and now his sister?

*********

Evie suspected something was wrong the next day. By the second day she was sure of it.

Her belly was growing. It was now sticking out prominently.

"Mom, my belly is growing!" said Evie.

"Of course it is," said Fornicata. "You're pregnant."

"But... I'm only two days pregnant. Not two months!"

Her mother gave her an odd smile. "Did you really think you and your brother were making a normal human baby? Did you fail to notice that his sperm is a different color now?"

"No, I noticed," said Evie.

"Your eggs have been changed as well." Fornicata turned back to cooking the space bacon. "You and your brother have been changed so that you can produce the next generation of Iskari, true Iskari, the way we are meant to be. Not... this," she said, shaking her arms.

"At this rate I'll give birth in a week or two!" said Evie.

"More like a week. Or eight days perhaps," said Fornicata. "Cheer up! Did you really want to walk around fat and heavy for most of a year?"

"Well, when you put it like that, no," said Evie.

"Trust me, you'll love it when it's over. Giving birth to a whole new generation! I only wish I could have been in your place!"

"You, Mom?" said Evie. "You... and Herb?"

"Why not?" Fornicata forked some space bacon and atomic eggs on her plate. "Eat up, dear. You're eating for two! You may have the future of the Empire inside you!"

*********

By the fourth day Evie was bulging. She had started wearing maternity clothes and proudly wore an enormous muumuu which fit her like a circus tent. She was always badgering Fornicata and Herb to touch her belly.

"Touch it, Ihan. Touch it!" she said.

Herb sighed and touched her belly again.

"It's life, Ihan. Life we created," said Evie, her eyes shining.

"Yes," said Herb.

"What's wrong?" said Evie.

"What do you mean?"

"You barely talk to me and we've stopped having sex."

"Evie, we had sex two days ago," said Herb.

"That's exactly what I mean!" she said.

Herb sighed. Whatever she was carrying in her womb, Evie was a classical pregnant woman. She needed reassurance and love. These things he could give her. And so, opening his pants and pulling out his cockmeat, he did.

*********

Herb was having sex with his sister.

Carefully. Very carefully.

By the third day the bulge in her belly had grown larger. Evie had to really lift up her knees to give him access to her cockhole. As he pounded into her he enjoyed her content smile.

"I love you so much," she said, playing with his hair tenderly. "My dear, dear brother."

Brother.

How had this happened?

Two weeks ago his sister had hated his guts.

A week ago she had taken the Seed and become his lover.

And now she was going to bear his child.

The euphoria that Herb had felt when he had first trained her had largely faded. He didn't hate or despise her. He just felt... detached. Ihan had given him the impression that once she gave birth that his and Evie's path would diverge. Ihan hadn't said that in so many words... and yet that was the sense of things he had gotten from his "other half".

And so Herb tried to be detached from his sister, even as he fucked her, even as she was pregnant with his child. He didn't really know if the child she would give birth to would be

Karinko

, the one who would free Omni, or even

whether it really was a good idea to free Omni at all.

That giant twenty foot tall blue creature with angry red eyes and fangs and the giant horn sticking out of his forehead didn't exactly look so

people friendly.

But Herb's role was not to question. The Seed had taken all choices from his mind. His only role was to obey. And so he did.

He wondered idly if, or when, Evie would Go Away and how he would feel when his sister was well and truly gone. He had positively hated his mother but grieved when she was put on the Tree of Life. He noticed that despite promises and predictions he himself had not Gone Away and now it seemed unlikely he ever would, and he began to wonder why.

Evie smiled lovingly at him as her heavy belly bounced around. "Faster, Ihan, faster!"

********

On the fourth day since Herb had impregnated his sister Evie, Sanantha took them all to the White Room: himself, Evie, and Fornicata. Fornicata had been given frequent music lessons by Sanantha (and others) and was now ready to try to stimulate the Plant of Life to grow once more.

This time Whiskey, Omni (Omni the big, muscular bald man, not the giant statue), and Daikan was there, the Japanese man wearing the black transparent kimono. His heavy Japanese dick was clearly visible inside his transparent pants.

Whiskey was still the most beautiful woman Herb had ever seen. He tried to catch her attention, hoping he would be called over for another kiss, but the stunning blonde beauty only had eyes for Omni, flirting with him outrageously and pretending to laugh as women to do to show their attraction to a man. While Sanantha chatted with Daikan, Herb looked around for Spesapalda. Spesapalda was not as attractive as Whiskey, which only made her the second sexiest woman Herb had ever known. He saw her in a purple-aired dancing area, dancing with another slave Herb didn't know as colorful alien symbols floated around them.
