[Book Four] Chapter 31: Family shenanigans

Chapter 31: Family shenanigans

The experience has been weird so far for the teenagers. They saw their parents on screen but not with their actual faces for one and didn’t act like they knew them to do. Especially their father. They couldn’t reconcile the man on screen and the kindest man they have ever known and who raised them. His antagonistic relationship with Jane bewildered them as now they could always see them being all lovey dovey most of the time.

They were not happy when by the end of first season they didn’t get the answer they were looking for. Adam simply told them they just need to keep watching because if they got it now they would never understand it properly nor their father.

It was fine with his younger siblings since they learned in detail what happened back then. They had learned in history classes the big picture but the details were rarely given. What planet or colony was destroyed at what time, how many died, how many were saved. The how? Completely absconded.

After nearly two months of watching they finally found out what really happened on Eden Prime and they were shocked into silence. Adam was watching attentively his siblings with Arianna, who had come for the occasion to offer them support.

“It’s really the worst day of his life.” JJ commented absentmindedly.
“Am I the only one that wants to go hug dad to death, right now?” asked Matthew.
“No.”
“I think we’ll really need that…”

TK cut himself off when the sound of the door of the room opening was heard. Everyone turned their head and saw Leeha rushing through it to go to who knows where.

“Where is she…”
“Dad. You know how much she loves him and how emotional she can be.” Arianna answered AJ.

Indeed, they all knew very well. When Leeha had found out that Rick wasn’t her biological father she had cried and cried never ending tears. She was ten back then and no one could console her, not even her mother. It was only when Rick came back a few days later from work that he was able to calm her down.

“You may not be of my blood but I wish you were because I love you that much and more. It doesn’t change a thing for me between us. I raised you with everything I had because I love you. I even changed your dirty diapers. Do you think I would have done that if you were not my daughter? Nu-huh. I already had enough with TK and AJ being pooping machines. I didn’t need to deal with more, yet I did it because…?”
“You love me.”
“That I do, princess. That I do.” he said and kissed her forehead. “Come on, let's go see your mother and your Aunts aaaaand your siblings because they’re really worried about you.”

After that Leeha was fully a daddy’s girl and the two of them got closer, only second to Arianna. She always was the most affected when Rick would have to go away from the Celeste for days and the most happy when he came back. With the high empathy she got from her mother, what she had just watched was too much for her to handle and needed him.

Getting to his, Ashley’s and Jane’s bedroom, Leeha checked discreetly if her father was there but he wasn’t. She did the same with her mother’s and got the jackpot. Tip toeing to not make any noise she  got between her parents and hugged her father for dear life. Only then, as she felt his warmth and scent, did the tears finally stop falling.

When morning came both Rick and Tali had been surprised with the intruder in their bed, wondering what this was about. She hadn’t done that since the passing away of Raven a couple years before they left the Milky Way.

“Something must really have upsetted her.” whispered Tali.
“Should we ask her?”
“No… let the children take care of it.”
“We’re lucky we were too tired to do anything last night. Things would have been awkward.”
“I don’t know, she could have joined.”
“... What the hell, Tali! She’s our sixteen year old daughter!”
“So? Didn’t stop you to fuck your sister and mother.”
“... Please tell me you didn’t let yourself be corrupted by my mother.”
“No.”

“Good, you’re joking then.”
“By Ashley.”
“Motherfucker.” he cursed under his breath.
“Oh, yes, you’re definitely a motherfucker in all meanings.” joked Tali.

When Tali had come to live on Celeste she quickly found out about Jane and Rick’s true relationship. She heard snippets of conversation here and there then Hannah’s actions further revealed things. In the end, instead of confronting them, she went to Ashley to share what she knew. It was to her surprise that her big sister by choice was already in the know.

“Liara did too. She was actually the first to know since after we killed Saren. I discovered it at the same time as Jane when the invasion began.”
“Ash! That’s…”
“Incest. I know. But one, with gene therapy, no children will have birth defects, besides they are only half siblings so even if there were risks they’d be very small. Two, you saw how their relationship is. They always acted like an old married couple because they’re perfect for each other. Do you really want to get between them? Abandon the happy life that you have because of who they are to each other? As far as I’m concerned, they’re the same people that we got to know, they already loved each other back then, they love each other now, they’re just more open about it.”

That had made the quarian think and asked questions about how it came to be. She had not been happy about some things notably Hannah but in the end… She let it go. She would be happier with them than without them in her life. The one Christmas when they offered Rick a reverse gang bang she saw for the first time how much they loved each other and she found it beautiful. And kinky. Really kinky and she loved it. Loved the taboo. She didn’t even bother to deny it but blamed Ashley for it.
After Lorel, Tali was very worried for Leeha’s passage to womanhood and future relationship when she began puberty and between that worry, her own first time with Rick and her new kink she had been thinking about getting both father and daughter together. She had observed him and Arianna to see if something would happen but the only love they had for each other was non romantic. Rick had never looked at his eldest as anything more than his baby girl despite the infinite amount of love he gave her.

“... I want you to be her first.”
“... Are you mad?!”
“Probably but I want her to have the best first time possible, not from a boy who doesn’t know what he’s doing. Someone who would also care deeply for her.”
“And she will find that someone one day but it won’t be me.”
“... Fine. I’m giving up for now.”

She wanted to argue but Leeha began to stir up so put an end to the conversation.

“Morning, princess.” her father greeted with a million watts smile.

Immediately Leeha dove into her father’s chest trying to melt into him and began to cry again. Looking at each other, her parents were at a loss.

____________________________________________________________

The long conversation they had with her went well and by the end he succeeded in making his princess smile and cheer up. He even combed her hair just like when she was a little girl. She complained that he should never have stopped doing that and got a promise from him to do it at least once a week.

Afterwards, just like they had planned, the family spent the time at the pool since it was everyone’s day off. All the teenagers behaved like they didn’t know anything but knew that everything went well when they saw Leeha all chirpy hanging their dad’s arm. They all agreed to never talk about that particular topic. Ever. Seeing their dad breakdown not once but twice had hit them hard and they never wanted to see him again that way.

Everything was going well and Rick was watching from the side his children fight in teams in the water. When Hannah showed up with Tevos on her arm, he froze.

“Are you serious?”
“Too soon to tell.” Hannah replied and Tevos nodded.
“I meant…! Are you going to have sex with all the Asari on my bang list? Who’s next Samara?”
“... What?” exclaimed the asari.
“Does it really surprise you that we have the same taste in women?” Hannah answered flatly.
“...You could share!”
“What?!”
“Oh, no I’m not sharing this one. I kinda like her.”
“What?!”
“You selfish… After what I allowed you to do?”
“Okay, that’s a fair point.” admitted Hannah then turned towards Tevos. “Do you want to have sex with him?”
“What the hell…” the asari replied, completely confused at what was happening.
“That’s a simple question, do you want to have sex with Rick? Yes, then we’re definitely having a threesome. No and we don’t, end of story.”
“That’s… I… What…”

The councilor was completely lost when Rick started laughing along with Hannah. Only then did her brain finally reboot.

“You’re messing with me!”
“Yes.”
“Half and half. I mean I’m calling you gorgeous for a reason.”
“I can’t believe the two of you! When did you even speak about us to him to come up with that prank, we started our relationship yesterday.” said Tevos looking at her redhead lover. 

“Oh, we didn’t. We just think alike so we went with the flow by just sharing a look” replied a giggling Hannah.
“I can’t believe it.”
“My advice, councilor, just go with the flow when it’s about those two and don’t bother asking questions. You’ll have a happier life.” Ashley said as she came to Rick’s side to drag him away. “And we approve of you trying him a bit, so don’t hesitate to ask.” was her parting words to the asari.
“By the Goddess, what did I get myself into with you.”
“A fun and happy life, lover.” Hannah replied as she put her arm around Tevos and grabbed a good handful of her ass.

Back to Rick and Ashley, she led him to a corner of the pool where they would be alone. Clearly, she wanted to talk about something.

“Abby needs to get laid.”
“... You’re telling me because you’re thinking of me doing it.” he stated.
“Yes. She feels like crap after what happened with that Asshole.”
“You know I love Abby, I have no problem making herself feel desirable again but did you ask…”
“I did yesterday evening and they all agreed.”
“Even Tali?”
“I asked her earlier. She’s all for it.”
“...Are you going to adopt her in the Williams family soon?” he joked.
“She’s the honorary fifth sister. She is getting along very well with Sarah. Speaking of…”
“Yes, I’ll scratch Sarah’s itch too.” he replied in exasperation.
“My husband is so smart.” was her answer as she cupped one of his cheeks with one hand and brought me down for a kiss. “She doesn’t want just a shag though…”
“You’re kidding me, right? She’s what, forty two?”
“Yes and she still can get pregnant for a short while.”
“How come, she never settled with a guy? She would have had plenty of kids by now.”
“Never felt the same way she did with Thomas and the sex was mediocre.”
“... Ugh, that’s your fault. I’m not responsible for this.”
“Indirectly…. Okay fine, it’s mine!” she admitted after she felt the freezing cold look she felt her way. “I fucked up. Happy?”
“No. I would prefer if Sarah would have met some nice guy who could take care of her properly. I’ll get old one day Ash, old enough that I won’t be able to keep up with all of you, heck even one of you. The more of you there are…”
“I get it. No need to say it.” she said remorsefully.
“Damn it, you’re lucky I love you so fucking much.” was his last words before he kissed her temple and walked towards Abby who was lounging on a chair. 

He grunted as if he was trying to communicate with her and she simply looked at him confused with a brow raise. Taking the prank further he hit his chest like a gorilla or Tarzan would, then pounced on her. In less than a second Abby was ass up face down on his shoulder giving her a good view of his toned ass. She began to protest at his antics but a slap to her milfy big bottom stopped that immediately. Not caring in the least what the adults were saying or would say (the children being too busy by their game in the water) he walked towards the pool’s exit and left the area with his trophy. Ashley had watched dumbfounded what had just happened and she didn’t even react until both Rick and Abby were out of sight.

“My husband is a fucking idiot.” she said facepalming.

____________________________________________________________

One session with Rick and Abby was all smiles. She was finally out of the funk she had been in for the past eighteen months and every Williams (which includes Amelia) were grateful. She wasn’t ready to date yet but she certainly didn’t feel like an old and ugly lady anymore. Ashley and Sarah were now taking her every morning to the gym to exercise a bit which did her as much, if not more, good than her time in bed with her brother-in-law. Despite all the flirting and teasing, proving that the old Abby was back, she knew that it was a one time thing and was fine with it, mostly.
Sarah had been surprised then angry when Rick approached her. She has been in fact dating a guy seriously for nearly half a year and didn’t need him to scratch a non existing itch. He was relieved on the spot and to avoid his youngest sister-in-law’s fury, threw Ashley under the shuttle. It was also a form of pay back. The part about her wanting children was true and that was the only reason Sarah and her boyfriend ever fought. He already had adult children and didn’t want to go through raising another one, nor wanted more. Rick advised her to preserve the few of her eggs left just in case, something that she admits was a sound idea and ended up doing so.

On an unrelated note, Tevos diplomatic talks with the Jardaan were going well. While their space faring technology was not the most advanced compared to the species from the Milky way, their tech regarding terraformation was top notch. In fact they talked about putting such a complex on Ryder to regulate its change. They could do it themselves but it would take almost a hundred years at the very least to create a complex big enough to gather the necessary energy to do it so they asked Rick for help. They knew that BLUE was just a battery and not the power source but they rightly suspected that Rick could make a battery so powerful that the complex could be actually quite small and finished in a decade. Of course they didn’t ask for it for free. They were ready to share that technology with the species in the Milky way among other things. It was a transaction to seal the deal and become more than just allies but a member of the council species. They would have an embassy on the Citadel and could travel to the Milky Way unhindered. Many things had been ironed out, like the Jardaan adopting the credit as a currency.

Rick wanted to make the journey back with Tevos to see the rest of the family again, most notably his daughters. None of his lovers wanted him gone not after the months of separation but understood where he was coming from.

He was toying with the idea of bringing Celeste to Andromeda though, making the travel instantaneous would be better in his opinion. That  was a conversation he needed to have with EDI and David at a later date.

He wouldn’t be the only one of the family going back. Matthew was about to turn sixteen and like Adam, wanted to follow in his own mother’s footsteps. Jane and Hannah had been very proud when he told the family about it. JJ had found a job as a mechanic on Ryder’s colony and was learning hands on. TK and AJ were finishing highschool on Cassiopeia though had no idea about what to do afterwards except stick together. Leeha was learning from both her parents. She wasn’t nearly as into ship as her mother but she liked to design and build things, from software to hardware. She had much talent and Rick was impressed with the ideas she came up with. The last one was a flying armor with energy weapon, powered up by a BLUE and with a GREEN integrated.

The two months journey was spent with Rick either training his son further with his biotics, working on the nanomachines with EDI and thinking of a secret project to work on with Leeha later or banging his mother and Tevos. The asari had agreed to a threesome after seeing a sweating and shirtless Rick instructing Matthew and she definitely wanted some of that. She always did ever since he had instructed her when they were traveling to the bunkers scattered across the galaxy but never acted upon it. Now that she knew that the possibility was there and that her priorities in life had changed she wasn’t going to let the opportunity slip by.
After one night being tag-team she was hooked and cursed herself for not having acted sooner.

Once in the Milky Way, their first stop was the Citadel where Tevos shared the good news with the council and presented to the other species the Jardaan ambassador. The asari checked her potential successor’s work and was quite pleased by the results.
Hannah talked with Ines and gave her advice on how to approach diplomatic relations with the Jardaan just in case one of the others councilors fucked up.

They talked to Rick about the possibility to send more people to Andromeda and he didn’t oppose it but warned that Cassiopeia would not be another Citadel but just a point of transit for the people coming to the galaxy. They would have to leave for a colony after some time. That’s the best Tevos could get from him and that was a good deal as he asked nothing in return.

The second stop was Celeste Academy. Kahlee nearly crushed him to death with her hug and Rick was reminded that for a 5’6” woman she had quite the strength in her arms. He was delighted to see Sandra.

“Look at you. So beautiful…I may have to stay here just to beat up all suitors.” he joked.
“I wouldn’t mind. It’s tiring to kick their asses.” she joked back.
“I missed you.” he said and hugged her tightly.

“I missed you too, dad.” she replied and voluntarily pushed her breasts against his chest.
“... Which one of your mothers put the idea in your head to tease your old man like that? Oh, who am I kidding, It’s Jen, isn’t it?”
“Yep. Momma was very insistent.” Sandra replied with a smile as she backed away.
“Can’t believe you went along with it.”
“Well… I am a Shepard.” She announced that with a mischievous and knowing smile and Rick eyes grew big in shock. “I may not have gotten your genius like Arianna did but I did get your observation skills and cunning.”
“...You’re not…”
“I’m a Shepard.” She cut him off. “But no, I’m not coming on to you, dad. I love you and I may or may not have some fantasies about you but no romantic feelings.”
“...It’s a relief. I’ve enough to deal with your Aunt Tali.”
“Oh, so she finally asked you to take Leeha? Good.”
“I… Yeah, no. I’m not talking about this with my own daughter.”
“As you wish but just so you know, Leeha has a pretty serious father complex and you’re not related by blood so…”
“... How come Arianna or Adam never told me? Or anyone else for that matter?” he asked, interrupting her as he didn’t want her to finish her sentence and lead the conversation to a place he didn’t want to go.
“Arianna is always with her head in the clouds or in datapads. Adam is as dense and oblivious as his father considering those kinds of things. The others? Except Grandma, I’m pretty sure no one else noticed.”
“Of course she noticed and didn’t say anything… I swear that hag is…”
“Just like you?”
“... You’re too damn smart for your own good, young lady.” he answered with an unamused face making her giggle. “Anyway, did you know your big sister was a lesbian?” he said changing topics.
“I suspected but wasn’t sure. As I said she always had her head in the clouds and datapads. She finally made her coming out?”
“Not exactly. I just got under her skin as I had questions about her relationship with a young woman she came back with. The idiot thought that I’d be disappointed in her.”
“Disappointed? With our aunts dynamic?” laughed Sandra. “She’s really the one that took after you the most.”
“I don’t know. I look at you and think it may be a tie.”
“I doubt that, I certainly didn’t get those from you.” She said as she took her heavy breasts in her hands and jiggled them.
“Sandra!”
“You’re too fun to tease, dad. Sorry.” his daughter stated with a laugh. “How is it going with her?”
“I don’t know but they seem close. However since she’s humming while working, I’d say pretty good. Now tell me about Analysse… Is she mad with me?”
“She’s not a teenager yet so no but she misses you a lot. One time she even made her bag to go to Andromeda to see you.”
“You think a huge plushy would help?”
“Probably.”
“Now, what about your mothers? Are they doing well?”
“Mom is freaking out because… well she’s aging. She has a white lock of hair now. Personally, I think it suits her well but she just dyes it. She’s also overworked. We caught a spy in the company and she went on a witch hunt to find more. Honestly, she needs a vacation and you to take care of her. As for Momma? Always the same though she’s even more protective of Analysse than she was with me. Perhaps because when I was ten you were there to watch over me. Otherwise, she’s rocking her new haircut, I’m sure you’ll like it.”
“I won’t even bother to ask how you know about your mom and I’s relationship. But I’ll see what I can do.”
“Please do, she really needs it.”

After that they walked arm in arm towards Miranda’s office. Rick filled her in with the latest development, like Hannah and Tevos or about her Aunt Abby and Sarah. He greeted back any employees that recognized him and saluted him on the way. When they reached the office door, Sandra gave him a look before leaving him alone. A look to which he nodded in acknowledgement and understanding of what it was conveying. Opening the door without knocking he saw Miranda sitting at her gigantic wooden desk working on her terminal, writing some report.

“Sandra, I told you I was busy and didn’t want to be bothered.” the ravenette said not looking up.
“Good thing I’m not Sandra but your boss.”
“Rick!” Miranda exclaimed as at the sound of his voice she perked up to look at him.

In no time she was out of her seat and moved to give him a heartfelt hug.

“It’s been too long.”
“I agree.” he said as he took a handful of her bubble but. “News can wait.”

With eyes full of lust and excitement, Miranda reached for the zipper of her suit.
