A lovely stream commission from  infected-ellis

I would like to say Happy Mayternity for y'all. I have a backlog of images to upload and color/shade/upload and stories to write, so hopefully I'll be able to speed up these releases. I mean, it would be a shame to miss out this month, right? But alas, I don't have an idea firmly enough in place for a Mayternity surprise. Maybe I should just upload more frequently and get a good standalone story written or something. I dunno. I'm rambling. Anyways, here's more of the bun you all love X3

For Dr. Yasmin Burke, the days at the clinic were long and hard, but she did not complain. After all, she was helping others and getting paid quite a lot to do it! She loved to watch people’s faces brighten up as good news came, and even in times of hardship, she felt a need to be a comforting presence for those in need.

As of late, the days had been particularly long. Not that the sun and moon were in a struggle, but rather her shifts grew longer over the last few weeks, even as her own child-stuffed belly grew. On one hand, some people thought it was not fitting to give the burdened bunny more work when she was getting ever closer to maternity leave, but on the other, Yasmin always seemed eager to do her job and never skipped a beat. She wanted to work and help her team, even as their numbers dwindled. As months went by, she watched her fellow mothers-to-be swell up and drop out with their litters and stay home to care for them. One even had her litter in the ward, having worked there until the absolute end; Yasmin wondered if that would be her fate, too, though she still had a couple months left to grow.

Many would say multiplying suited her, just like any bunny stereotype, but the regular bunnies in her family did not carry quite the litters her size! The many job benefits and working conditions at Much Love Corporation gave her the reassurance she needed to start considering a family, and having witnessed first-hand how larger mothers were cared for by the company, she was eager to start it right. It was a good thing she decided she wanted kids, because by the time she figured she was ready, she was already a few weeks pregnant. Her family and friends watched in surprise as she filled out her clothes in weeks, and by the end of her pregnancy, Yasmin was an exemplary bunny mom and then some.

Now pregnant with her second litter, she was delightfully surprised to see her middle fill out with even more children, and while working at the clinic was long, and the babies were a handful, she could not have been more excited for what was to come. Even so, sometimes she did like to lay around the house and just vegetate and gestate.

“I love the work, but I’m glad I don’t have to go in for a couple days,” Yasmin giggled softly as she shifted on the couch, watching whatever her boyfriend had decided to look at from their multitude of streaming services. She did not mind what was on the television, mostly because she just needed a brain break - a time to avoid thinking and just enjoy whatever was in front of her. Sure, she had her ears poised in case one of their children cried in the nursery, but otherwise, she relaxed herself into the couch while her marten boyfriend rested against her, head nuzzled against her belly.

“That leaves more time for me and the kids, right?” he mused, and looked up from her large middle with his own playful smile.
“Oh, of course, Rudet, but I get to sleep in for a few hours at least!”
“Daddy getting the morning routine I take it?”
“You bet!”
“Thank goodness I have everything stockpiled for the morning. No milking needed for now,”
“I still need to do some milking before bed. Last time I got too lazy, I barely made it to the pump the next morning. Unless you intend to clean up the bed when I wake up?”
“Okay okay. I’ll get the pump when you’re ready to go.”

Yasmin pet her boyfriend’s head gently as he nuzzled up more into her belly. The rounded tan middle filled her lap and then some, no shirt or outfit to cover it that evening. Without any peering eyes or judgemental family members around, Yasmin took to wearing a simple night top that barely covered the lower swells of her breasts, let alone her belly. She knew she would never fit into her older outfits quite the same, but she loved watching Rudet’s eyes whenever she walked around in them, including her carrot-patterned night shorts. It was nice to get appreciated for her looks even when she felt like a walking nursery from time to time.

The shorter marten was supportive every step of the way, and while there were challenges in the transition, Rudet made sure she was capable of continuing her career while he managed his own. Given flexibility to his work schedule, Rudet tended to the children during her longer shifts, but both father and children still missed their time with mommy. This evening was no exception, although the two spent most of the evening hours just snuggled up and watching whatever on the television. Once the show reached a slow spot, Rudet placed a paw against the lower swell of her belly, slowly rubbing it as she pet him.

“Any word on when your colleagues are coming back, Yazzy?”
“I hear a couple should be returning by the end of the month. So we’ll be getting some shorter shifts by then. But I’m not the only one getting close to leaving, too,”
“Revolving maternity ward doors?”
“No. We have automatic sliding doors instead!”

The two shared a laugh while Rudet’s paws kneaded idly into her side. He could hear the bunny sigh and press herself more into him, and she could hear his soft murr against her body. Surely the two would have spent another few hours on the couch, but with all good times, the evening had met its end with the latest episode. Yasmin slowly stood up, and the previously-content marten fumbled onto the hot cushion where she originally sat. He let out a gentle whine, but he could not argue watching her waddle around from his perspective.

Yasmin turned around in a long stretch, and one of her top’s straps flopped to the side, only garnering more attention from her lover. Her long, untied hair swayed behind her, and she gave her boyfriend a playful wink.

“I think it is about time for bed. I’m not really watching the show anymore,” she yawned.
“I don’t think I even comprehended the last hour we watched, to be honest,”
“Well, then go get the pump, and let’s get going before any of our babies - present or future - decide to wake up.”
“Got it, Yazzy!”

As nice as the couch was, the bed was superior for snuggles and sleep, anyways.
