Jacob didn't want Tecciztechatl leaving his side for one single second once they'd returned home. The whole experience had been terrifying, to say the least. Even so, Jacob still agreed to stay with Tecciztechatl, despite the danger he could be in as long as the wind serpent was still around.
In only a few short days their triplets would be born, but Jacob hardly had the ability to relax. Each morning at dawn, as the sun broke over the horizon and flooded the sky with white-gold light, Jacob's belly grew with Quetzalcoatl's son. Usually the boy was awake all night with his nocturnal lover. Then, as the moon began to set, he'd settle in for bed. But now, he only got a few precious hours of sleep before his belly jumped, swelling up with the new serpent. Jacob was exhausted this morning, lying in bed and looking up at a belly that was big enough for quintuplets. He was supposed to give birth tonight to the moon children, but he wondered if he would have the strength.
