The darkness of space was something one could not describe unless one had been there. Blake sat on top of his usual gazing spot on the large rock that he had sat on many times before. "Papa, you called us?"
Destiny and Joy landed on the rock, one on each side of Blake. Blake patted the spots next to him. "Come sit. We need to talk."
Both girls were nervous. They knew that their roleplaying had already been exposed. Their mamas had already talked to them about it and said that they would talk to their papa about it. They held a little hope that they would be able to be with the man they loved so dearly. They sat quietly, not daring to say a word as they fidgeted.
Blake smiled when he saw how nervous his girls were. They had grown into beauties. Even he had to admit that. He put his arm around both girls and pulled them into his embrace to give them a hug. "You know I love you both, right?"
"Mmm…" Destiny and Joy both nodded.
"I also know how much you love me, not as your father but as a man. I know this. But as of now, I can still not give you a firm answer." Blake decided since he had a little time, he would tell the girls he planned to wait until everything was over before finally giving them a proper answer.
Both girls clenched their fists as she buried their faces into Blake's chests. They loved his smell the most and wanted to imprint it into their minds. "Papa, does that mean we will never…." Joy's eyes began to water up. She wanted to be with her Papa….
"I do not know…." Blake let out a sigh. He tightened his grip on the two girls. "I need time to figure this out myself. You know the rules of my old world. And I also know the race I am not is much different from before. From my memories of the past for, my race, they used to marry within families all the time. This was to keep their population under control. There are no side effects at all."
"Papa… I am now a goddess, so…." Destiny wanted to plead her case as well. She was not a drakani. But as a goddess, she would not need to worry about things like genetics.
"It's not that…" Blake shook his head. "I need to figure out my own internal struggles on this issue. While I know I am not one to talk when I have two sisters as wives and also a mother and daughter, but to me, I helped bring you into this world, so it is different for me… "
Blake was having a hard time trying to explain himself. He did not want to hurt his daughters' feelings. That was the last thing he wanted. But he still needed time to decide on this. "I can only promise that I will give you a proper answer once things are settled."
"Do you promise?" Joy asked as she raised a pinky in front of Blake. Blake smiled and hooked his pinky with hers. This was something they did a lot when Joy was younger.
"I promise," Blake replied with a smile.
"Hehe." Joy turned and buried her face into Blake's neck: "Chomp!"
"Hey, no fair!" Destiny was not to be outdone. She did not have fangs, but she could still bite! "Chomp!"
Blake smiled and hugged his two girls tightly. He did not stop them from their suckling. After about a minute, the two girls released their nibblings before hugging their papa tightly. The three stared up into the space above. The stars were much more vibrant than those you would see on Earth. It made for a picturesque moment for the trio.
They laid down and continued to star gaze while the floating island slowly made its way to its orbit. "Papa, no matter how many years pass, Destiny and I will always love you and will be waiting." Joy suddenly broke the silence. "We already decided not to get married. We will just continue as we are and if you ever decided to allow us to be with you we will get married then."
Blake sighed as he hugged the two girls tighter. "I will try not to make you wait too long for my answer."
"Mmm…" Both girls hummed.
Not far away up in the sky, Clance and Lillia looked down at the three. Lillia had Tina take over for her so she could keep an eye on what was happening with the girls. "Sister Lillia, what do you think husband will decide in the end?"
"I will follow his decision. I would prefer if he took the girls in. I hate seeing them so badly in love and unable to express the love they have for him. But I also understand Blake's side of things as well. He grew up with different morals. While they have been changing ever so slowly he is still hung up on this issue." Lillia just wanted her daughter to be happy.
"I know what you mean. Joy is a bit of a sex fiend but she does love husband dearly. I can see the pure love she has in her eyes when she looks at him." Clance let out a long sigh.
"Either way, at least now Blake has talked to them. We will need to wait and see how things are in the future. His new plan for the other girls seems to be working well. They have been interacting with many people. Two of them have found girlfriends they really like. But….. I fear we will not have many grandchildren from our daughters' side…." Lillia felt Blake's idea to send them out to do tasks for him was brilliant. They were no longer locked in the house with the only male around being their father. As for Joy and Destiny, they were already too far gone. Their love for Blake had long bloomed and was something embedded in their souls.
"I do think we need to be wary of that Rea girl. It seems she likes husband." Clance suddenly mentioned.
Lillia's eyes flashed with light as she said, "Let her join. Once she does, she will be one of our strongest sisters alongside Sister Ishtar. As long as she is willing to serve Blake, that is all that matters."
