Chapter 21

I sat relaxing again as Barb had run off to check on the women and see if Solonar had any relatives in this camp. “Bob, I have an update on Solange for you.”

‘Do I need to come up there?’

“No Bob, you can stay right where you are. We are having some success with the nanites, it looks like we can heal most of her injuries and broken bones. Her womb, we cannot move. It is just too badly torn. It looks like her sphincter will be operating normally in a few days. We have tried to salvage as much of her vaginal area as we can. We really need the DNA if you can find a relative. Like I feared earlier, her mind is gone. I don’t think she will ever recover that part, but I have been wrong before. Children are very resilient, she may be fine after everything is done, but so far her brain is not responding properly. She has essentially shut her brain down, except for the autonomic signals that tell her to breathe, her heart to beat, etc. Except for her mind, things do look much better than when I brought her here eight hours ago. Just remember it has only been eight hours, there is a lot we can still do.”

“On another note, I have looked over your new harem and except for some minor bruising on most of the women they are fine. However I will need to have Nadira and Bertet come to me tonight when they sleep. No one will know they are gone, least of all them. I can fix Bertet’s jaw and give her a dose of 30 day nanites. They will work on her for 30 days and then they will be flushed out of her body by urinating. Nadira will need a splint on her leg after I break it and set it properly, please put one on her soon, and I will fix it properly tonight. As for the others, only Gerona will need help with some nanites, but only for about 10 days. I wish you luck with your harem. And I do envy you Bob. Please calm down about Solange, I can feel you are really worried about her. I will do the very best I can for her and for you. Good night Bob.”

‘Thank you Phil, you are a wonderful doctor and a very good friend. I hope you were busy during my breakdown this afternoon. I just had to blow off some steam. It worked too.’

“You are right I was busy with Solange, but Cynthia was watching, she said she would hate to be around you when you get mad. Although she did say it was such a shame to ruin a perfectly good lion pelt by shooting it so full of holes.”

‘Tell Cynthia Hi from us both, and I will talk to you later. Keep me informed on Solange’s progress so I can keep everyone else informed as well. And Thanks again.’

Fretail came over to me and said that supper was about ready so I should move over to the table. “Thank you Fretail, I hope you have cooked up something good for me?”

“For you I have a large bison steak and some po ... ta ... toes and greens. Did I say that right?”

“Yes Fretail they are called potatoes. And I like them just fine. I like steak too.”

I had followed her to the table, which looked much longer as well and she sat me at the head of the table. Once I was seated, I was served a large glass of lemonade and a huge steak was put in front of me. Then another plate with the potatoes and greens was placed before me. I waited for everyone to be served and then raised my glass and said “To our family, may we always be together and free from hunger and pain.” To my amazement everyone did the same and after I had spoke so did they. They said the same thing and finished with, “and we thank our leader and mate, Sky Spirit Bob!”

I saw that Barb had blended a protein shake for Bertet and she was showing her how to suck it through a straw. She looked at Barbara first and then she turned and her eyes smiled at me.

After supper I told them all that Solange was being treated, but we would have to wait a while to see how it went. I explained that she had been hurt very badly, both inside and outside and it would take time to know if she would be well again. They all bowed their heads and silently prayed for her wellbeing. I had everyone clean up the supper things and declared bedtime for everyone.

Harlou, Mertir, and Jerrel all had a room of their own now. We put Nadira and Bertet in our second bedroom and the rest came in my room. I had fussed over Nadira and put a splint on her leg saying that it would heal much better with that on. I told the women in my bedroom, that because most of them were still sore from their injuries and that it had been a long day I would honor them all tomorrow night with lovemaking. They all moaned and groaned and then said thank you Bob and kissed me good night. I fell asleep with seven women cuddled up to me in my bed.
