Here's chapter 4 for everybody :D A guest reviewer said something about how Lightning found out about Fang, I plan on doing a prequel thing, that will probably end up being about this length, give or take. It'll be while Fang and Lightning are starting to date and Lightning discovers Fang's dick.
Just remember, this is only 7 chapters total. So there's not much left after this chapter here.
Hold Me Tight
Chapter 4
The nausea had still yet to subside. Lightning was hating life. She was missing sleep, she was getting odd looks at the barracks, and she was getting curious questions from their friends. It had been a month since she found out she was pregnant. Some of her clothing was starting to become a little snug, but nothing that was noticeable yet. She was coming up to the three month mark. Her doctor had told her that in most women, morning sickness passes after the first trimester. She hoped that she would be part of that majority.
"Here, love." Fang came into their bedroom carrying a bottle of ginger ale and some plain crackers. They'd discovered that it was one of the few things Lightning could keep down when she was sick. It also helped with calming the nausea.
Lightning just groaned but refused to move from her spot on the sofa. Her hands were resting on her stomach as her eyes remained closed. "Why won't it stop?"
"Doc said it should start wearin' off soon. Here, I brought you something to eat."
The mention of food caused Lightning to groan out loud again and turn away from her wife. "No food."
Fang laughed softly. She found this version of her wife to be utterly adorable. "It's just some crackers."
"Don't care." She waved her hand in the air to dismiss the Pulsian from her side. "Just want to sleep."
The brunette sighed, all Lightning had been doing lately was sleeping. It helped in curbing the nausea, but also worried Fang because Lightning never slept as much as she had been over the past month. "Don't forget Serah's comin' over tonight for dinner. If ya don't stop the nausea before she gets here, she'll ask questions."
Lightning relented and forced herself to sit upright. "Fine."
"We need to tell 'em soon, love." Lightning nodded. "How about tonight?" She quickly held up her hands when Lightning looked terrified. "Okay, okay, but if ya get sick, I'm tellin' her. She won't judge me, Claire. You know that."
The soldier reached for the small packet of crackers her wife had brought her. "Fine… Dare I ask what you're making for dinner?"
"Serah said she was bringing it over. Probably from that little Italian place you love so much." Lightning groaned again. "I know that you've been picky with your food lately, but ya do need some real food. Ya can't survive off of crackers and ginger ale."
"Yes, I can."
Fang laughed at the smaller woman for a moment, "you're adorable when you're stubborn." Lightning's head spun around to glare at her. "Okay, why don't ya go take a shower."
Lightning suddenly smirked. She picked up the bottle of ginger ale before standing up. "Why don't you join me?"
Fang eyed her wife for a moment before giving in. She'd gotten used to Lightning's sudden shift in moods. She'd read somewhere that it would only get worse as she got further into her pregnancy. Without a word, she allowed the blond to lead her up the steps and into their bathroom.
XXXXXX
Fang kept her eye closely on Lightning as she ate her own meal. The blond soldier was taking slow deliberate bites of her meal. Fang easily figured that it was to keep her nausea at bay, to not give anything away to Serah.
"Vanille's been acting strange lately." Serah suddenly said. She didn't notice the way that both Fang and Lightning had tensed up at her words. "She won't tell me anything. Is she having problems with Hope?"
"Nah, that's not it."
Serah suddenly leaned closer to the Pulsian. "So you do know what's going on with her! She's been so excited for about a month now and it's driving me insane. Please tell me, Fang." Serah put her own fork down on her plate. When Fang didn't respond right away, things started running through her head. "Is she getting married?" Still no response. She paused for a moment to think, "oh! I know! She's pregnant!"
Lightning dropped her fork, it making a loud clanking noise as she jumped at Serah's words. "Excuse me." She had to get away from the situation before she completely lost her nerves, and her dinner.
The younger Farron watched her sister disappear out of the dining room and into the living room. "Fang? Is she alright? She's been acting strange too over the past month. Ever since she started getting sick." Fang didn't speak right away, not that Serah gave her much of a chance to. "What's going on?"
Lightning appeared back at the doorway of the dining room, she let out a heavy sigh, "I'm glad you're sitting, Serah." She looked over at her wife who smiled softly and nodded encouragingly to her.
"Claire? What's going on, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, Serah… better than fine actually." A genuine smile started coming to Lightning's. She couldn't fight it off anymore. "I'm pregnant." Silence filled the room. Lightning could almost see the gears turning in her little sister's head as she tried to process the information she'd just received. "Serah?"
"Wait…" her eyes snapped up to lock with her sister's. "What?" She all but yelled.
"Three months, give or take… we're having a baby."
Serah pushed herself away from the table and jumped onto her sister to hug her. "Why didn't you tell me you guys were trying to get pregnant?"
Fang laughed humorlessly, "we weren't."
"Yea… It just kind of happened, Serah." Lightning gently returned the hug she was being given. It only took Serah three seconds to wrap her head around what Lightning had said.
"It doesn't just happen when it's two women." She looked up at her sister. "You cheated on Fang… with a guy?" She spun around to look at her sister-in-law, "and you're okay with this?" She completely snapped. She never knew her sister to be capable of doing something like that to Fang. "You have some nerve, Claire." She reached her hand up to slap her sister, but Lightning was faster than she was and quickly stopped it.
"Calm down for a second, Serah. Let us explain." Lightning's grip on her sister's wrist tightened when the smaller girl began to struggle against her.
"Serah, please… Ya might wanna sit down for this next part."
"How could it get worse than my sister cheating on you, Fang?" Serah relented when Fang gave her a pointed look. She resumed her place at the table.
"She didn't cheat on me." Fang started.
"Then how is she pregnant? It can't be yours."
Fang looked down at the table. She felt a comforting hand on her shoulder before she continued, "it is mine."
"That's not possible!" Serah was still irritated, obviously so. She didn't understand.
The Pulsian sighed. "It's mine because I have…" she bit her lip. She hadn't even been this nervous the night she asked Lightning to marry her. "I have something that I shouldn't…"
Lightning picked up where her wife couldn't finish. "Serah, she's got a penis…"
The younger Farron sat there, processing what her sister had just told her. It didn't make any sense to her. Fang was a woman. Fang had always been a woman. But, apparently Fang was a woman with a penis. And, based on Lightning's news, Fang was a woman with a fully functioning penis. "What?" She snapped when everything finally sank in. "So… you've come up with some elaborate lie to cover up for my sister?"
Fang reached up to rest her hand atop of Lightning's on her shoulder. "It's not a lie… Call Vanille if ya don't believe me." She kept her eyes locked with her wife's younger sister.
Serah looked between the two, her eyes narrowed before she pulled her phone out of her pocket and quickly dialed her best friend.
"Hey, Serah." Vanille's voice echoed through the room since Serah connected the call on speaker.
"So, Claire and Fang just told me something interesting." She continued to glare at her family members. "Claire just told me she's pregnant."
Vanille squealed happily, "they told you!"
"Why are you so excited about it? Lightning cheated on her wife!"
"No she didn't. It's definitely Fang's."
"How is that possible? They told me Fang's got a…" Serah blushed at herself, she'd never been able to say certain words. And penis was one of them that she just couldn't bring herself to spit out.
Vanille giggled at her best friend's confusion. "Yea, she's had it since she was born. It's really no big deal."
"I… I don't understand." Suddenly, her older sister's arms slid around her shoulders.
"You don't need to understand, Serah. Just know that I love Fang, Fang loves me, and we're both happy about this." Vanille discretely disconnected the call when she heard Lightning talking. "Please, Serah… please accept this." She pleaded with her sister. She had Fang to support her in all of this, but what she really needed was her sister.
Serah lifted her hand to pinch the bridge of her nose. "I'll always love you guys. But… I never expected this…" she glanced at Fang who smiled sadly at her. "I know it's nothing you can help, Fang." Her mind was still attempting to wrap itself around the news. "You're really having a baby?"
Lightning lifted her sisters hand to place it on her lower abdomen. There wasn't much there yet, but the skin under her fingertips was starting to become hard. "I'm really having a baby, Serah."
The younger Farron gently pressed with her fingers. It was barely there, but she could feel the small hard patch that definitely was there under her fingertips. "Oh, Etro." She slid her arms around her sister's neck to pull her close. "I'm going to be an aunt."
Fang couldn't stop herself from laughing, "Ya know, Vanille said the exact same thing."
Serah turned her attention away from her sister to look at the older Pulsian. "I'm so happy for both of you." She moved to wrap her arms around Fang's neck, "you'll both make great moms." Lightning suddenly disappeared from the room to go to the nearest bathroom. Serah giggled. "That explains why she was sick all the time around your anniversary."
"That's when it started. It's been worse since then." Fang got up to follow her wife into the guest bathroom to find her in a very familiar position in front of the toilet. "Ya made it longer than you usually do, love." Lightning just groaned in response. "Maybe it is startin' to fade."
"Maybe." She shivered when another wave hit her. "It'll be over soon, right."
"Yea, I'm sure it will be."
"I hate you right now."
Fang tried not to laugh, it wasn't the first time that she had heard that. "I know that, sunshine." Lightning glared at her. "I know it's my fault, too." She lost control of her laughter when Lightning's hand connected with her knee. "I'm just sayin' it before you do."
Serah stood by the door and simply watched and listen to their interactions. The way she watched as Fang brushed back her sister's hair while rubbing her hand slowly over her back, the way Fang spoke ahead of Lightning, knowing exactly what she was going to say, it all made Serah smile. The two women were definitely perfect for each other. All oddities aside, whether it was a boy or a girl, they would be the luckiest child alive.
Let me know what ya think :D Serah's reaction, not as favorable as Vanille's, though Vanille already knew, don't worry, there's no drama in this when it comes to Fang's dick.
See ya all in a day or two.
