Chapter 1
Jenny could feel the anger well up in her at Katie's insinuation that Jim might be the father of her baby. "You planned this didn't you," Jenny almost screamed.
"No, no, no, please, I would never do anything like that," Katie cried.
"I thought you were my friend and you do something like this! How could you...how could you Katie!" Jenny said through clenched teeth as her eyes filled with tears. She jumped up and stormed out of the room, slamming the door so hard the pictures on the wall rattled.
Katie fell to the bed, her body racked with sobs. Maybe she did want this she thought. Jenny was probably right, somewhere deep inside she wanted this and that's why it happened.
Jenny stormed down the stairs in a fury. She walked out of the house and across the street to the park. She climbed a hill that held a large oak tree that she often went to when she needed to think. By the time she reached the top of the hill, she was out of breath and suddenly wondering why she was so angry. Hadn't she practically forced Jim on Katie? Hadn't she been there when they had sex? If there was anyone to be angry with it was herself. None of this was Katie's fault. As quickly as the anger had come, it left, leaving Jenny mortified at what she had done. She turned and rushed back down the hill toward the house.
When Jenny reached Katie's room she saw that the door was slightly opened. She peeked in and saw Katie packing a suitcase that was open on the bed. She was sobbing as she placed her clothes into the suitcase.
Jenny quietly walked into the room. "Katie, what are you doing?" Jenny asked.
Katie didn't answer and kept packing.
Jenny walked over and put her arm around her friend and lover. She felt her tense. "Katie, I'm so sorry. I was totally out of line. Please don't leave."
"It's better if I leave," Katie said, fresh tears streaming down her cheeks. "If I stayed it would only be a matter of time before I ruined your relationship with Jim. I've messed everything up," Katie said and began to cry hysterically and fell to her knees on the floor.
"Oh God Katie, it's all my fault," Jenny said as she fell to her knees next to her friend pulling her sobbing body into her. "I was the one that let all this happen. I know you would never do anything to hurt me. Please, I want you to stay, we can work this out."
"How...how can we ever work this out? Jim will be furious at me. He will probably throw me out anyway. God what am I going to do?"
"Come on up here," Jenny said as she pulled Katie to her feet then laid her on the bed, crawling next to her. "We're going to work it out. I care too much for you to let you go," Jenny said as she held Katie's face in her hand and kissed her tear-streaked cheeks. "Katie, I love you and I couldn't bare it if you left us."
Katie looked into Jenny's eyes and saw tears begin to run down her cheeks. "I love you too Jenny," Katie said. There was a long silence in the room as the two women searched each other's eyes. Then, almost at the same time, their lips moved toward one another.
The two women kissed each other slowly and sensually for a long time. If felt so natural when Jenny reached up and unbuttoned Katie's blouse, letting her breasts free. Then Jenny kissed down Katie's neck and across the swell of her smooth breast. She held one breast in her hand and sucked on the other. When she heard Katie moan she smiled up at her and bit gently on the hard nipple. She could feel Katie's heart begin to beat wildly. Jenny sat up and stripped off her own shirt, leaving her breasts bare as well. She leaned over Katie and pressed her nipples to Katie's breasts. Their lips met again and both women moaned in pleasure. Each could feel the others heart beating in their chests.
Then Katie sat up and pushed Jenny back and looked deeply into her eyes before she brought her mouth to her swollen nipples and repeated what Jenny had done for her. At the same time her hand dropped to Jenny's thigh just below the hem of her skirt. She heard her intake of breath as her hand slid up her thigh, pushing her legs apart. Katie wasn't surprised to find Jenny's bare pussy already wet. Two fingers slowly slid into her swollen lips.
"Oh God Katie, let me eat you," Jenny pleaded.
"I have a better idea, let's do each other," Katie said and twisted around on the bed until her head lay on Jenny's thigh. Katie felt Jenny turn to her and pull her shorts down her thigh and throw them to the corner of the room. Both women began to kiss each other's smooth thighs, working their way toward their throbbing pussies. Within seconds, both women had their mouths on the other's pussy.
The room was filled with moans and the sound of sucking mouths. Soon that was replaced with screams of pleasure as first Jenny then Katie began to climax. Within several minutes there were two exhausted women lying head to toe on the bed, their faces wet with each other's love juice.
An hour later, Jenny and Katie sat next to each other on the living room sofa, an empty wine bottle on the table in front of them.
"Now, we have to figure out how to tell Jim about the addition to our little family," Jenny said as she took Katie's hand and brought it to her mouth for a kiss.
"What do you think he'll do?" Katie asked with a worried look.
"I don't know but I think his reaction will be based a lot on how we act. I know that Jim wanted children with Sally very much. That's how they found out that she had cancer. He has said to me that he often regretted not having children earlier, before Sally got sick. I know that he loves kids. I've seen him look loving at families with small children."
"But will he love a child that he didn't really want?" Katie asked.
"I think he will love any child that was created in love. But the only way to find out is to tell him."
"That scares me."
"We don't have much choice, do we?" Jenny said.
"You'll be there with me won't you?"
"Absolutely."
Chapter 2
Jenny and Katie decided that there was no easy way to tell Jim about Katie's pregnancy. They agreed that Jenny would bring up the subject of children to Jim to see his reaction. The fact that Jim had desperately wanted children with Sally was encouraging to both of them. If Jim reacted badly to the thought of children, Jenny would back off and they would try to find another way to tell him.
The following evening Jenny and Katie made a nice dinner for Jim. After dinner Jenny took Jim out on the deck to enjoy the sunset. Katie made herself scarce but stayed close by. She would be the one to actually tell Jim if the timing was right.
"Where's Katie?" Jim asked. "She's missing a beautiful sunset.
"She said she would be out in a minute."
It was a perfect evening, with jut a slight chill in the air. Jim's house had a large back yard that overlooked a beautiful reservoir surrounded by trees that had changed from summer green to shades of yellow, gold and red. In the distance the laughter of children could be heard echoing across the water.
Jenny was snuggled next to Jim on the cushioned love seat.
"Jim, do you ever think about being a father?" Jenny asked cautiously.
Jim sighed and hesitated before he answered. "God yes, every time I see a baby or even hear the kids across the lake. But it's really sad to think about it since Sally died. I know it's not logical but having kids and her death are all tied together in my mind."
Jenny saw a tear trickle down Jim's cheek and wasn't sure if she should continue or not.
Jim spoke again before Jenny said anything else. "We had this dream of this house filled with screaming kids. Now I don't know if it will ever happen. Jim paused. "Jenny, you know that I love you and I would love to have children with you someday if our relationship takes that course. But I also know that you are young and want a career before that happens. Then again, I don't even know if you want children."
"Yes, I want children someday. You're right, I do want a career but sometimes I think that I could have it all like a lot of women. It's something I need to think about."
"Well, when you decide, I'll be happy to help you out," Jim laughed.
"Happy to help out at what?" Katie said as she walked out of the house.
"If I want children, Jim said he would be glad to help me have some," Jenny laughed. "Jim, you should talk to Katie, she wants lots of kids."
