You inhaled deeply, trying to get air, but found it hard to breathe. You felt stifled, like there was a weight on your chest. You tried to move, but your limbs seemed to be held down, preventing your movement. Why was it dark? Why was it so hot? You were finding it harder and harder to breathe. What was going on?!

"Daddy, wake up. You're having another of your episodes," you heard a light, sweet, yet oddly hard edged voice state.

Cracking your eye open, you found standing on your chest the familiar sight of your firstborn daughter, Pupa. She was larger now, yet still adorably small in comparison to you or adult Changelings, having undergone her first metamorphosis to have a black exoskeleton like her mother once had, with a brilliant luster. While most Changelings her age did not yet have fins, she already had a strong, dark green one that was large enough that it had a tendency to lean toward one side. Furthermore, while she didn't have pupils like her mother yet, she did have a noticeable darker green in her eyes that seemed to be the indicative of where her pupils would be.

Sitting up, you pulled your arms out from the comforter of your bed, the heat from the heavy sheets easing up a bit as you stretched your arms over your head, trying not to smile as Pupa giggled, rolling down your torso and onto your still covered lap. You always made sure to cover up, since you always slept in the nude. You may have been a totally shameless jackass, but even you wanted to avoid scarring your children from the might of Vel. Vel being a divine javelin used by a Hindhu god of war... and one of the numerous names for your penis you had collected at this point.

"Why are you waking me up so early?... it is early, right? I didn't just sleep in past noon again?" you asked, not so certain about it. You really should have moved the royal bedroom to somewhere that you could have windows, but then you'd be pissed off by the sun waking you up.

"Still early," Pupa stated with a smile. "Everyone else is still asleep, but I had to come and see you, I'm just too excited!" she elaborated, her little wings, also tinged green, splaying out to show just how anxiously energetic she was.

"Mmm, sweetie, please be a little more patient. You know daddy gets weird if he wakes up before he's ready," Chrysalis yawned as she lifted her head on your right, her mane a mess compared to her usual, elegant appearance, something that the bed and pillow couldn't be solely blamed on.

"Sorry mommy, but can you blame me? Today's the day! I've been waiting for this for so long, I feel like I could explode!" she declared, throwing her forelegs up in the air, letting the momentum carrying her so she landed on her back and on top of your still concealed legs.

"That's nice, but please don't explode all over our bed," Apocrita groaned, rising up at your left, her feathery antennae looking more frayed in the morning until she gave them the care they deserved, looking at Pupa through bleary eyes.

"Okay mommy," Pupa apologized, rolling around on your legs to look at you. She paused, looking down at the sheets below her, then up to you quizzically. You gave her a small, tight smile, and she nodded her head silently. "Anyways, I'm going to go and tell Nymph to wake the fuck up!" she declared, getting up and running off.

"Don't wake Nymph up!" you shouted after her, praying she wasn't going to wake up her sister. Technically her half-sister, as Nymph was the first born of your children with Ap, but you were raising your kids to recognize each other as siblings one and all, no barriers. And as expected, like Pupa, Nymph was exceptional, so much so that Pupa was infatuated with her baby sister.

"I'mma do it anyways!" Pupa shouted as she exited the room.

Sighing, you fell back onto the bed, letting your head rest on the pillow. "Shit, now I'm going to have to get up and deal with that," you groaned, just wanting to go back to sleep.

Chrysalis and Ap exchanged a look before staring down at you. "She noticed?" they asked in unison, creeping you out at how well they'd gotten at doing that over the past year.

"Of course she noticed, she's a goddamn genius," you cursed, grabbing the sheets and lifting them up. "Come on out, she already knew you were there."

Peeking her head out out from beneath the sheets was Luna, who looked confused, if not a bit irritated. "We don't understand, we had been practicing our stealthy bed work for a week in preparation for today!" Luna declared in frustration.

"Because she's caught you every time you join us for the night, as you do every time you visit the hive. At this point, she just needs a clue to confirm that you were in here with us," you pointed out, tossing the sheet so more of Luna's body could come free. "I keep telling you guys, that girl is going to grow up and usurp total control over the hive some day."

Giving you an amused look, Ap snuggled up next to you, laying her head on your shoulder, and said "You keep saying that, yet you never take any actions to stop her. In fact, I think you've been encouraging her to do so. 'Oh sweetie, you're so smart, but learn even more'. 'Oh honey, you're so strong already, but don't stop till you break his leg'. 'Hey Pupa, you want to try this crown on? Get an idea as to how you want yours to look some day?'."

You snorted and booped her snout, making her face scrunch up. It was the ultimate insult and she's be pissed at you for the next... minute for doing so. "Of course I want her to. When she takes over, you guys can retire from the hard work, then we can spend all day just fucking. It's the perfect plan."

"Hmmm, not a bad idea," Luna purred, perching her head on your other shoulder. Glancing to Ap, she gave her a cheeky smirk and said "Perhaps if you had used that when trying to usurp me, I'd have willingly let you take over the hive."

Ap rolled her eyes, letting one of her antenna flick out to tickle Luna's nose, getting in your face at the same time. "Are you still on about that? I swear, if you keep running your mouth like that, I'll put it to good use," Ap shot back.

"Don't threaten me with a good time," Chrysalis said, still wiggling her nose.

"Please stop the flirty talk, you're not the ones who has Anon's cock pressing against her barrel right now," Luna requested of the two. Indeed, you were positively rigid, knowing how sexy their fights were now.

Sighing, you placed a hand on both of their heads, ruffling their already bed-ridden manes, making them pull away from you in irritation. Using the extra room, you pulled yourself up, trying to ignore the soft, warm fur of Luna's underside teasing your dick, reminding you just how much warmer she was ins- NO! Bad Anon! You needed to get up, and not just your dick!

"I'm going to go take care of the kids. God knows what sort of trouble they'll get into... oh wait, I do, because I'm a god," you declared, laughing a bit as you pulled yourself out of bed.

As you got dressed you heard Chrysalis ask "Do you ever regret making him a god?"

"Only every damn day."

"Mandible! Take El Presidente's foot out of your mouth!" you shouted, chasing after the red-eyed Changeling as he let his brother's foot go. You paused, looking over to Flea, whose legs were wobbling. "Go to the bathroom!... No, not here! The actual bathroom! Molt, take your brother to the bathroom!" you ordered, snapping your fingers as you tried to get control of your children. Your shouting led to the multitude of larvae on your chest and arms, affixed with a special sort of baby bjorn to help make them feel comfortable, start crying... well, all except one.

"Bitches," one of them, with the same shade of violet for her eyes as Ap had, chirped.

"I agree," Pupa said by your feet, looking up to Nymph while nodding her head.

"Don't do that right now, I'm trying to calm everyone down before the guests arrive," you groaned, shooting Pupa a dirty look that she only grinned back at you for. Curse her adorable, yet devious mind.

"Kids!" Vespa shouted as she walked through the door to the room, both her working eyes scanning the room as the little Changelings froze in her presence. "Line up!" she commanded, with the kids quickly rushing to get into a straight line for her.

As they finished lining up, with Pupa being the only one to decline doing so, they shouted "Yes, Grammy Vespa!"

Vespa walked up to your side, a smug grin on her face. "So glad to see my grandchildren, by blood or not, know to respect their grandmother so properly," she stated, trying to rub it in that she had better control of your kids than you did.

"More like their drill sergeant," you grumbled.

"And you're supposed to be a god. You should be asking for more out of them," Vespa retorted, even as she lifted a hoof so she could show a little affection for the larvae strapped to your chest.

"Cunt," Nymph chirped as her grandmother came close to her, surprising the elite guard with her language.

"I agree," you chuckled, lowering one of your hands low enough for Pupa to slap at your fingers.

"It's troubling that of all the children you've had capable of speaking at such a young age, they inherit your foul mouth," Vespa stated, frowning as she glared at you. Considering she'd taken to the role of grandmother for all your kids, those that you had with Chrysalis as well, she was less about diminishing your importance and role to the hive, and more just about nagging you to be a better father. Typical mother-in-law.

Offering a mock look of shock, you held a hand to your chest, careful not to hold it over any of your larvae, you said "How are you so certain they got it from me? Ap's mouth can be even worse... course, where it's been, it doesn't surprise me how-"

Vespa cut you off with a hoof to your mouth, which would have been to your arm were you not essentially wearing armor made of babies. Of course, that wasn't a bad idea for war, but considering the hive had moved toward a mostly peaceful nation that had been developing bond with others. Of course, Equestria was the first one, a treaty signed on the day of your funeral/wedding.

"Do you really plan on bringing them all out to meet with the visiting dignitaries? They're not going to know what to do or say," Vespa inquired, pulling her hoof away slowly. She paused, glanced down to Pupa, then added "Or perhaps one of them will know exactly what to say, for her own amusement."

Pupa merely smiled wide, showing off her fangs to show she had no shame whatsoever about what she had or would say. "You know I only speak the truth, Grammy Vespa," Pupa stated as sweetly as she could, batting her eyes at her.

Vespa's brow twitched, then she looked back to you. "Are you sure you don't want me to just babysit them? I'll keep them out of the way, safe and sound," she asked.

"Nah, it's best they get exposed to how politics sucks as soon as possible," you said with a straight face. "If anything goes out of order, I'll... well, I don't know what I'll do exactly, but I know Ap and Chrysalis will kick some ass."

Vespa snorted, then turned back to the kids, giving them a wave of her hoof that seemed to dismiss them for the moment, the line up disassembling to do their own stuff once more, but with less energy than before. As she watched them, she asked "Will Chitin be returning to the hive? It's been a while since we've seen him."

Smiling as you watched Pupa decide to join her siblings, if only to boss them around, you said "No, the University of Canterlot really wants him to stay focused on his studies, as well as continue giving his insight as someone who has performed... illicit, yet highly detailed surgical procedures." Sighing, you turned back to Vespa and said "I can't believe he actually took advantage of our new treaty to go get a medical degree. He always seemed to take pride in being an 'unlicensed medical practitioner'."

Vespa shrugged, not taking too much interest in Chitin's reason for leaving, even though she was the one that asked about him. "Maybe he figured he can be the first actual doctor in the hive, then become God of Medicine or something when he finally passes," she suggested.

"Hah, loser. He has to die to be a god," you chuckled.

Giving you a skeptical look, Vespa pointed out "You died as well."

Snorting, you rolled your shoulders and said "Yeah, but I got better. Let's see if he can do that." At that, Vespa couldn't say anything in return. Nobody else could say they've done what you have after all. Chuckling, you patted Vespa on the shoulder and said "Don't worry, as the living god, I'm totally capable of declaring other gods. Maybe when you pass, I'll make you the Goddess of Grannies, or maybe the Goddess of Anger... maybe even the Goddess of-"

"Bitches!" Nymph shouted, earning a snort from you, as well as Pupa, who ended up rolling off of her siblings, whom she had positioned into a throne once more.

"Yes! That! Good girl!" you cheered Nymph on, patting her head and making her purr in delight.

"I'm going to regret not killing you the first time I met you, aren't I?" Vespa asked, glaring at you to the best of her ability, but finding it hard to fully do so as her grandchildren seemed so delighted by things, even if it was at her expense.

"If you haven't regretted it yet, then you're probably going to find it harder to ever do it now," you answered.

"Unfortunately true," Vespa sighed, then sat down, figuring she'd just let things pass until it was time for the assembly.

"Who's that?" Pupa asked, pointing at one of the beings walking through throne room.

"That's ZZ Top, they play some amazing music... can't imagine why they'e in Equestria though," you answered, stroking you chin in confusion.

"That's Prince Rutherford and his entourage from Yakyakistan. They're yaks. Not sure who this ZZ Top is," Ap corrected, nudging you in the side because she knew that whatever you said was from some level of stupidity and humor only you got.

Ignoring the yaks walking in and shaking hooves with Chrysalis, as you each had decided to take turns greeting the guests, Pupa pointed to the next group of guests, asking "Who's that?"

Looking over, you saw the blue-scaled lord of the dragons, Ember, walking with a few of her other, smaller sized dragon counterparts. You had no idea how a dragon so small became the Dragon Lord, especially since you had your money on that Godzilla looking son of a bitch to win a fight, but you supposed it was alright. After all, she was willing to let fly the fact that the hive had been enslaving dragons and stealing their eggs for future use, although you had to relinquish the slaves and eggs. It was a tearful goodbye to Godzilla, who didn't seem to understand a thing you were saying as he, or rather she, said her name was Inferna, then walked off like nothing had happened.

"That's who daddy is going to fuck ne-" you started saying, only to get a much harder nudge to your ribs from Chrysalis, as Ap had taken to greeting the dragon delegation.

"Is it not bad enough that we have to share you with Luna whenever she comes over? I'm not letting that scaly slut get in on our nightly intimacies," Chrysalis hissed, less angry over the idea you wanted to fuck Ember so much as the idea she had another potential competitor. God knows it took a while for her to accept Ap, but that always seemed to go away when Ap demonstrated that, while not forked like her own, she had a tongue just as long and maneuverable as her own.

"It doesn't have to be the nightly ones. We can go with the morning or mid-afternoon one? We might even create a new time of day for intimacies, if that's what you want," you groaned, rubbing your ribs. You wish you had your baby armor still, but Vespa had taken to looking after the larvae, giving her a good show of watching Chrysalis berate you.

Ignoring the discussion going on, Pupa pointed her hoof forward and asked "Who's that?"

You began to move forward, even before looking to see who it was, since it was your turn to greet guests. Your eyes fell upon Princess Cadance, who apparently did not come alone, as she was joined by the famous Shining Armor, Captain of the Guard. Furthermore, being carried on Shining Armor's back was the widely spoken of Flurry Heart, the baby of the two. Given she had to be at least over a year old now, she still seemed rather infantile.

Having apparently heard Pupa's question, Cadance looked down to her and smiled, offering a little bow as she said "Hello, I am Princess Cadance, Ruler of the Crystal Empire and Princess of Love." Extending a wing, she motioned to her husband and foal and said "This is Shining Armor, my husband, Captain of the Canterlot Royal Guard, and our child, Flurry Heart."

As Shining Armor gave a wave of his hoof, Flurry Heart took notice to the other young one, extending her massive for her size wings, and allowed herself to glide down to Pupa. For a moment, it seemed that Pupa was actually a bit intimidated, to see another creature as young as her with such impressive wings, but the foal simply smiled and offered a hoof. "Hi! I'm Fwurry Hearf, nife to meet you!" she greeted, clearly having trouble speaking due to her age.

Something about that seemed to make Pupa relax, perhaps due to the fact she could already speak more eloquently than the other young royalty. As she took the hoof to shake it, she said loud and clearly "What the fuck is wrong with you? Why are you speaking like a dumbass?"

Flurry Heart only blinked in confusion, clearly not understanding Pupa's words, while her parents' jaws dropped, flabbergasted that anyone, let alone a child, would ever speak to their child that way. In contrast, your entire body dropped to the ground, your arms over your stomach to try and contain yourself, but failing as you laughed out, legs kicking to try and tire yourself out sooner.

"HAH! Oh hahahahaha! Oh! Oh! Oh shit, this is too good! I'm dying! Oh god, I'm going to suffocate!" you bellowed, rolling on the floor. Even when Ap started kicking you in the side, you couldn't stop laughing.

"This is not the time for that!" Ap hissed venomously, reminding you that just because she didn't have her fangs any longer, she was still plenty capable of making you suffer, and yet it still wasn't enough.

Furrowing her little brow, Flurry Heart said "I dunf undastan."

Rolling her eyes, Pupa sat down and said "You're not very smart, are you? Kinda like your mom." Turning to look at Cadance once, then back to Flurry Heart, she continued "Your mom is just the Princess of Love, but she's already married? Wouldn't she be a queen then? But it doesn't matter anyways, cause my daddy is the God of Love, so he's, like, fifteen, NO, fifty times better, at least!"

"Pupa stop! Pupa stop! You're killing me here! This is patricide! You're killing a fucking immortal!" you howled with laughter, making such a scene at this point that the other delegates had come back from the table you'd had set up for them, just to get an idea as to what was going on. While Chrysalis and Ap tried to calm you down, clearly frustrated with how much you were guffawing as your daughter ripped Flurry Heart and her family a new one, Cadance and Shining Armor were turning red with some anger, but mostly embarrassment that this child was verbally abusing them.

"B-but mah mommy ish nife. Daddy says sheesh the best mommy awound," Flurry Heart stammered, only to get a short laugh out of Pupa.

"Your dad is stupid! I've got two mommies, and they're both better!" Pupa declared proudly, then glared at Shining Armor, the look making him cringe like she was going to shoot daggers at him with her eyes. "And by the way, your daddy is a really shitty guard, let alone captain. My mommy kidnapped my daddy under his watch, so that shows how fucking stupid he is."

At this point, you couldn't even make out words to express how hilarious this was, your face bright red and turning purple, while Pupa just sat there, looking smugly at a still clearly confused Flurry Heart. Shining Armor had taken to crying into his wife's wings, who was trying to hug and comfort him, while Ap and Chrysalis had just given up on saving face at this point. Some of the other, more hard edged species even seemed to snicker, such as the griffons or the dragons. You couldn't possibly think of anything more hilarious.

"Hey, sorry I ran late, hope you guys didn't start without me," Twilight Sparkle announced, galloping into the room, Spike on her back, only to come to a sudden halt as she saw you dying on the floor from laughter and her brother bawling into his wife's wings.

"Oh, and your aunt's a bitch," Pupa added upon seeing Twilight.

Best international council meeting ever.

You collapsed face first into your bed, loving how soft and inviting the mattress was. This was a true bed, one that made you so damn happy when you could finally burn your old bed. In fact, you wanted to make love to this bed, to cut a little slit in it and just ram your-

"I can smell your hormones from here, quit thinking of fucking the mattress," Ap shouted from the bathroom where her and Chrysalis were still drying off, needing a long, hot shower after that meeting.

"I wasn't! Fuck you! Quit reading my mind!" you shouted, rolling onto your back so your dick wouldn't touch the bed now.

After you had Vespa take Pupa away, lest she rip into Flurry Heart's family even more, you moved on with the meeting, which actually turned out fairly well. The harsher species seemed to take Pupa's verbal tirade as a sign of strength, to have one so young lined up with such power through words alone to take the throne some day, they were willing to listen to the hive's requests. Soon, you'd have a series of colony hives moving out to settle in each species' territory, but that was a story for another time.

"You know, as weird and random as this sounds... I'm damn happy that I came here. Like, all of it. Equestria, the hive, back to life here. I didn't think that anything was ever going to really make me smile this way, but... you guys made me finally feel like I'm at home somewhere. I don't say it enough, but thank you both," you announced, smiling at how incredibly stupid that all sounded, but you had to let it out... but they didn't say anything. Turning your head to the bathroom to see they hadn't come out yet, you groaned and shouted "Seriously!? You guys can't even step or answer when I'm spilling my heart out?!... I mean, not literally, cause we've been through that before, but you know what I-!"

Then, the two of them stepped out of the bathroom, making any further whining from you cut short. While they had dried off, the two were still damp, making Ap's fur cling to her body, while it added an additional slickness to Chrysalis' exoskeleton, both looking rather ravageable just to look at them, especially as they look at you with seductive gazes.

"Sorry Anon, we heard everything, but if we got focused on the soft hearted speech, we might not want to move onto the hard dicked fucking to come," Ap apologized, licking her lips as she looked at you.

Humming in agreement, Chrysalis said "And while we do truly love you, we want to really love you right now. Can you forgive us?"

Grinning as you pushed yourself to sit up, you said "Of course. How could I ever expect anything less after all? Thirsty bitches."

Author's Notes:

That's it! Game over! Story is done. Go the fuck home!

In all seriousness, thanks to everyone for reading to the end. I've stated before, but I'll say again that to have so many people take interest and enjoy this story to the point they still want more means a lot. I know a few of you thought that Anon's declaration of "What could go wrong?" last chapter was a sign something else was coming up immediately after, but it really was just a stupid statement this time. To those that recognized it was a red herring, good for you.

This story seriously went on far longer than I planned to and underwent many changes as I wrote each chapter daily. Initially, it was going to lead to Anon loving Ap, Chrysalis discovering this, but using her shapeshifting powers to replace Ap and feed off of Anon's love, only for Anon to learn the truth and stage a rebellion, not to become king, but just to defeat the evil queen and move onto a simple life with Ap, where she'd become an author.

Then when I planned on dragging it out, I planned on having Chrysalis lead an attack on Canterlot that would be all but impossible to defeat with the power of the anti-magic throne. As many of you were predicting, and some even picking up on my Dr. Strange reference, I had planned on Anon interfering in the middle of the fight, shouting "Chrysalis, I've come to bargain!" before demanding sex, not stopping until she had passed out, while the pheromones would weaken the rest of the army as they devolved into a massive orgy.

And I honestly did have moments where I wanted to just do a total troll ending, as some pointed out, such as Anon returning to Earth or dying outright after his impalement. But the little heroic sacrifice and choosing to return to what he saw as his only true family and home at that point was just too sweet for me to not go after.

Now for a bit of good news/bad news. Good news is, I am going to be doing a sequel/spin off story, directly taking from this one, and as many have asked and requested, I'll be doing it focused more so around best bug Pupa. I'd already gotten the idea of what I wanted to do for that a couple of chapters ago and simply have been smoothing out some of the details.

The bad news is that, understandably, I'm just a wee bit tired. I've been burning with inspiration for this story every single day and, at least on my end of things, hadn't missed a day. As such, I'm going to take a short break to recharge my batteries, so don't expect me to get the sequel out tomorrow. I can't even tell you if I'll have the first chapter out in the next week or not, I'd just like a bit of down time.

Furthermore, I'm also going to try my hand at doing commissions. Yes, this is me essentially whoring myself out a bit at the moment. Not putting all my focus into the idea of doing commissions, but when someone basically asked if I'd be willing to write a short story and get paid for it, well... I like money, I like writing, so why not? I just need to figure out how to do things with Paypal. That said, anyone who knows how that works, please tell me, I'm hopeless. Otherwise, this is me advertising that I will be doing commissions in the near future, with the first slot already reserved.

That said, thank you all so much once more, it's been really inspiring to see what everyone has thought of this story, and I'm hoping even more will continue to enjoy what I create in the future!
