Riyala and Hesabeth were seated away from the water on long recliners as they enjoyed the gentle sunlight shining down on the resort. They were all wearing swimsuits to cover their modesty, and two of Hesabeth’s dwarf servants were going around serving the three women with fruits and drinks while the third one was gently washing Hesbeath’s hair.
Stella was on her knees beside Gina, and she was gently massaging Gina’s feet while humming a happy tune. When Stella first heard about this vacation, Stella had actually wanted to stay back with Jason on Earth to serve him, and the only reason Stella came along was because she had been forced to by Jason and Gina. But now that she was here, Stella couldn’t deny that she was enjoying herself! The hot spring resort was absolutely beautiful, and being able to just relax and do nothing was nice for a change! On Gina’s chest, her spirit partner, Ulyn, was resting between her breasts while nibbling on a piece of biscuit given to her by Hesabeath. Gina and Ulyn had been training during their free time all this while, so now that Gina was relaxing, the spirit was also taking the opportunity to relax as well!
"It’s amazing that your babies grow so quickly. I’m so jealous. Have you thought of a name yet?"
Riyala spoke up in an awed voice as she looked at Gina’s slightly protruding stomach, and Gina smiled. Both Hesabeth and Riyala had been shocked when they saw that Gina’s stomach was already showing signs of her pregnancy, and they were even more shocked when Gina told them that the baby would be here in only half a year! Hesabeth and Riyala were from worlds whose inhabitants lived very long lives, so they also went through long periods of pregnancy before giving birth. Riyala would usually take about three years before giving birth, and Hesabeth would take close to two years before giving birth. Knowing that Gina would soon have a child after such a short time made them slightly envious!
Gina rubbed her stomach gently while shaking her head.
"We don’t know yet. But if it’s a boy, I think I want to name him Richard."
"Isn’t that the name of our father-in-law? It sounds fitting. If it is a boy, this will be the firstborn son of our husband, so it’s only right that he is named after a powerful man."
Hesabeth spoke up with a proud smile, and Gina grinned. Gina knew that Jason would also like the name, so she was saving it to tell him later.
Riyala sighed wistfully while running her hand over Gina’s stomach, and she spoke softly.
"I’m so jealous. I want to have Jason’s baby too."
Gina laughed as she reached out and pet Riyala’s hair softly. Gina really didn’t think she would ever be in a relationship like this, with one man shared amongst many women. But Gina couldn’t help but appreciate having Hesabeth and Riyala with her. It felt like Gina had people she could share her experiences with without having to hold anything back, and Gina couldn’t deny that she wished for a large family as well. If all three of them had Jason’s babies, then it would be amazing!
"Do not act like you have any right to jealousy, youngest. I heard recently that you spent a night with our husband on your world. Did you enjoy having him all to yourself?"
Hesabeth raised her sunglasses and gave Riyala a knowing look, and Riyala’s entire face grew red as she ducked her head slightly in embarrassment. All three women knew just how vigorous Jason was in bed. It was already difficult enough for the three of them to handle Jason when they were together, so the fact that Riyala spent an entire night with Jason alone meant that they must’ve been going at it all night! And the way Hesabeth spoke about it made Riyala unbelievably embarrassed! Down on the floor, Stella’s face grew red as impure thoughts about Jason began to fill her head, and she did her best to hide it from the three sister-wives! They would kill her if they knew she was fantasizing about having sex with Jason!
"Oh, don’t be so hard on her, Hesabeath. You know how much she’s been working to get your deliveries prepared in time. Jason was worried about her."
Gina spoke up while taking a grape from a bowl beside her, and Hesabeth scowled for a moment before she let out a calm sigh. Gina noticed the look on Hesabeth’s face, and she asked her what was wrong. Hesabeth looked very tense for some reason. Hesabeth scowled even deeper, and Gina couldn’t help but think that Hesabeth looked a little like a pouting cat. Gina asked Hesabeth what was wrong again, and this time Hesabeth finally spoke.
"You two have such close proximity to our husband, so it’s easy for you to speak to him and visit him whenever you wish. I live in another domain, and I have so much to do as a ruler, so I don’t have the time to leave and see him. I wish he would visit me more, but I know he’s also busy. The first few years are always the hardest for any Overlord since they have to adapt to the responsibilities of their domain. I can’t ask him to leave his domain just to see me. It’ll be selfish."
For the first time in a very long time, Gina could see some vulnerability in Hesabeth’s tone, and Gina realised that this was something that truly bothered Hesabeth. Gina knew that Hesabeth was right. Jason had been so busy over the past few months that he almost didn’t have time to come home most days! The only reason Gina and Riyala could talk to him or spend time together was because they lived so close to him. Hesabeth was left all alone on this side of the world without being able to see him. Gina could definitely understand Hesabeth’s feelings, and she spoke softly.
"Do you want me to speak to Jason about it?"
Hesabeth’s cheeks reddened, and she pouted even more.
"I don’t want to seem like some needy child to him. Our husband already has much to deal with. Would he not think me selfish for asking him to add even more responsibilities to his shoulders?"
"No, he won’t."
This time, it was Riyala who spoke, and she had a hard resolve on her face as she faced her sister-wives and continued.
"When I needed help, I didn’t want to reach out to Jason because I thought I could do everything on my own. I wanted to prove myself to him as someone capable. But I misunderstood Jason. Jason is very busy, and he won’t always have time for all of us, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t care. If Jason ever hears that you need him to be there with you, he’ll do everything in his power to be there for you. That was what he did for me when I needed him, and I know he cares enough to do the same for you."
It was surprising for the other two women to hear this from the youngest wife, and they could only wonder what had happened between Jason and Riyala on the night they were together for her to have developed so much confidence! But they both saw the wisdom in Riyala’s words, and they knew that she was right. Jason was busy, but he wasn’t neglectful. If they reached out to him and asked him to be there with them, there was no way he would refuse! Hesabeth’s blush deepened slightly as she considered this, and she decided she would take Riyala’s advice.
"Maybe I should plan a date for the two of us?"
