Sighs
and puts his arm around him and settles back. “Feels Good Don’t it……
best stuff in the world right here….. naked ya feel like goo…. makes
everything stop hurting….. halfnuts feeling a lot better to…” Motions to
the spring a bit below them and halfnut who was awake and relaxed
floating in the waters with Tullk.Carlos peaked down and smiled. “Oh, that’s so nice to see,”
he said. “I had been worried… but if he’s feeling better, then that’s great.”
Carlos settled on the rock seat beside Yondu and sighed. This was very nice. He
could easily fall asleep there, he thought.Puts a arm around him pulling him close and kisses him running his fingers along his side. The closer Carlos was could see the pouch against yondus belly of which he would press on randomly to get any water out.
Carlos couldn’t help but glance at Yondu’s hand as he pushed
on his own belly. “What… I’m sorry, but why do you keep doing that?” he asked.
Was he playing with the water? Some of it seemed to spurt up when he did that.“Hmmm? Oh. Waters getting in my pouch. I push it out ever now and then.”
“Water’s getting in your pouch?” Carlos repeated dumbly. “I –
I’m sorry, I just mean… I didn’t know you had a pouch.”“Yeah… it’s .. uhhh my species can have pups… the pouch is for pups. Until they are big enough to come out. Usually stay as pouchlings until they are about… 3 or 4 cycles.”
“Pups?” Carlos asked. “On Earth we call marsupial babies ‘Joeys’.
But that’s interesting – I didn’t know Centaurians held babies in a pouch.”“Yes. And we call them pups. We can have up to three but more common 1-2…. the males usually end up … birthing…. believe it or not…”
Carlos shrugged. “We have seahorses that do that on Earth,
so I’m not as surprised as I could be. Though, of course, they’re not mammals…”
Carlos coughed slightly. “I’m sorry, but I just find it so fascinating. How
does it happen? Do females put the eggs into the male and gestation happens
there, or what?”
