Drake's eyes rolled good-naturedly as he watched his brother, Xander, dote on Charlie. He couldn't help but think that Xander had been a bit dim-witted for letting things escalate between them earlier. Still, he was glad they'd worked things out.

Across the table, Lucas sat with an enormous grin plastered on his face. His belly had grown significantly, and he looked like he was about to burst at the seams. Drake couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of his partner, who was having triplets.

As they ate, Lucas's appetite seemed insatiable. He devoured plate after plate of food, declaring that the babies craved fresh blood. Drake obliged, offering his neck for Lucas to feed from. Lucas bit down, and Drake felt a familiar rush of pleasure as his partner drank from him.

As Lucas fed, he straddled Drake, his legs wrapping around Drake's waist. Drake's hands instinctively went to Lucas's hips, holding him close as Lucas drank. The sensation was intimate, and Drake felt a surge of love for his partner.

Xander and Charlie sat nearby, engaged in their own quiet conversation. Xander fed Charlie, who looked adorably content with a mouthful of food. As they ate, the two couples chatted casually, enjoying each other's company in the peaceful atmosphere.

The evening wore on, filled with laughter, conversation, and the occasional feeding session. It was a tranquil, domestic scene, one that Drake felt grateful to be a part of.

As the days passed, Lucas's pregnancy progressed rapidly. At five months, his belly looked bigger than expected, and his body had become increasingly lazy. "My belly is so heavy," Lucas would often complain, his voice filled with a mixture of amusement and frustration.

Drake was always happy to help, supporting Lucas as they moved around the palace. Charlie, on the other hand, was a bundle of energy, his two-month pregnancy seemingly having no effect on his lively demeanor.

Charlie would often visit Lucas, chatting excitedly about his own pregnancy and asking Lucas for advice. Lucas would smile, his eyes sparkling with amusement, as he shared his own experiences.

Despite his laziness, Lucas's face would light up whenever Charlie visited. "You're so energetic, Charlie," Lucas would say, his voice filled with admiration. "I'm jealous."

Charlie would laugh, his eyes twinkling with mirth. "You're just lazy, Lucas," he'd tease, his voice playful.

Drake would chuckle, watching the exchange between the two. "Lucas is just conserving his energy," he'd say, his voice filled with amusement.

Xander would smile, his eyes warm with affection. "Charlie's just excited about the babies," he'd say, his voice filled with pride.

The four of them would sit together, chatting and laughing, as they enjoyed each other's company.
