AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is a prequel to the first chapter where Cheryl and Toni find out they're expecting.

When Cheryl got home from work, she expected to be greeted by her wife... as that was how their days always went... but Cheryl saw no sign of Toni when she opened the doors to Thistlehouse. The redhead knew that Toni was home because her car, along with her motorcycle, were both in the driveway. She figured that maybe Toni was in the shower or taking a nap.

"Toni, are you home?" Cheryl calls out as she makes her way into the house that, only now, felt like a home. The former Blossom spent all of her life in Thistlehouse, but she never enjoyed living in it until she kicked her mother out and moved Toni in. Her and Toni just celebrated their one year anniversary and Cheryl couldn't be any happier. Sure, she hasn't spoken to her mother since her and Toni got married, her father is dead, her beloved JJ is gone, and her Nana Rose recently passed, but she has Toni and that's enough for her.

"I'm in the living room," Toni answers quietly. Confused as to why Toni didn't greet her like she always does, Cheryl hastily makes her way into the living room to see if her wife is okay. It just isn't like Toni to not immediately ask Cheryl for kisses before she even walks through the door. Something has to be wrong.

Cheryl mentally berates herself because the first thing she notices when she enters the living room is her wife's cleavage rather than the nervousness and anxiety emanating from her. Toni is wearing a black mini skirt along with her signature fishnets and a revealing top. She's sitting on the couch, her right leg crossed over her left, as she fiddles with her hands.

Toni is too deep in thought to even notice that her wife has come into the room. The pinked-haired woman turns her head and her eyes follow Cheryl as she sits down on the couch beside her.

"Toni... what is it my sweet?" Cheryl asks softly as she takes one of Toni's hands into her own.

Toni uncrosses her legs and takes the deepest breath she's taken in her entire life before whispering the words: "I think I'm pregnant." Quieter words have never been spoken, and a quieter silence has never followed.

Cheryl cups Toni's cheek with her free hand and turns her head so that they are face to face.

Thinking that Cheryl didn't hear her, Toni adds, more loudly: "I'm late".

Cheryl can't help the smile that forms on her face after hearing those words. She and Toni had been trying to conceive for the past month or so; Cheryl hadn't been using a condom and Toni had stopped taking her birth control. But Cheryl's happiness about her wife possibly being pregnant doesn't last long because her wife seems anything BUT happy about that possibility.

"Why don't you seem happy about that, love? I thought you wanted to have a baby?" Cheryl asks as she gently strokes Toni's cheek with her thumb.

"I-I do want a baby, Cher. I'm... I'm just scared," Toni admits as she turns away from Cheryl to look down at her lap.

"About what, honey?" Cheryl inquires.

"I-I'm scared that I'm going to end up like my mom. I-I don't want to get addicted to and overdose on my Clonazepam like she did on Jingle Jangle. I-I'm terrified about the possibility of me getting high one day and then hurting our child or our child coming home one day to find my dead body lying on the floor. I-I just don't want to be a bad mom to our child like my mom was to me," the younger woman confesses as she starts hyperventilating.

"Baby, don't cry. Just breathe, love. You're not going to end up like your mother," Cheryl assures her as she rubs circles into her lower back.

"How do you know, Cheryl? Addiction runs in my family. Just look at my alcoholic uncle who used to beat me up and lock me out when I was a teenager," Toni replies.

"I know because you're not your mother... and I'm not my mother," she adds. "Toni, I might not know what's it's like to grow up with an addict for a caregiver, but I do know what's it's like to grow up with an abusive mother. From the minute I was born, my mother hated me for being intersex. Then she hated me even more when she found out that I was a lesbian. All she did throughout my entire life was emotionally and mentally abuse me... but I didn't let that get to me. I had to keep telling myself that I was not her, and that I would never be her; I would love my kid no matter what was between their legs and regardless of who they loved. You need to tell yourself that too, sweetheart. And about becoming an addict... I will continue to make sure that you take your medication as needed. I've got you, baby," Cheryl tells her earnestly. "You're going to be a great mother, Toni."

Toni scoffs. "Who says?"

Cheryl raises her eyebrows. "Are you for real? You're the most incredible person I know. You're kind, and warm-hearted, and the most self-less person ever." She reaches her finger out to trace patterns on Toni's thigh. "Not to mention, I have the world's hottest wife, so this kid is going to be fucking adorable," she adds while poking Toni's belly.

"You're not so bad yourself," Toni giggles, blushing. "But you really think I'm going to be a good mom?" she asks unsurely.

"Of course, Toni. I know you're not going to be a bad mother because you're an amazing wife and an amazing person. You're incapable of being anything but good. The fact that you're so scared of being a bad mother, makes you a good mother. It just shows how much you care," she finishes.

"Thanks, Cher. You always know what to say to make me feel better," Toni says sincerely as she looks up at Cheryl, her big brown eyes filled with unshed tears.

"Does that mean you're happy now about the possibility of you being pregnant?" she asks hopefully.

"Yeah, I guess it does," Toni smiles.

"Good. I would've picked up some pregnancy tests on my way home from work had I had known your period was late. Should I go back out and get some?" Cheryl asks as goes to get up from the couch.

"No need, Cher," Toni says as she reaches up for Cheryl's arm to pull her back down onto the couch. "I went out earlier and got some. I've just been waiting for you to get home so we can look at the results together."

"TT, no wonder why you were so anxious when I came in," Cheryl remarks. "Are you ready to look at them now?"

Toni nods eagerly as she picks up the used pregnancy tests, all wrapped in toilet paper, that were laying on the other side of the couch.

A blue cross, a pink cross, a red circle, two parallel lines and several displays that read "pregnant" later, Cheryl and Toni Topaz accept the relatively likely truth that Toni is pregnant.

"I'm going to be a mother," Cheryl says proudly.

Toni smiles. "Yes, you are. And a sensational one at that."

"Toni, you don't understand what this means to me. I should've told you this sooner, but I always assumed I was infertile because my doctor told me that the majority of intersex people are. I never thought I would have kids of my own, but here you are, pregnant with my child," Cheryl says tearfully.

"I told you your dick was made for my pussy," Toni quips. The smaller girl wasn't mad that Cheryl didn't tell her about her possibly being infertile when they were trying to conceive. She figured, being a gay couple, that if they wanted kids, they couldn't have them biologically anyway and would either have to adopt or get sperm from a donor.

Cheryl wipes the tears from her eyes and playfully slaps Toni. "I can't believe we're going to be parents. I love you so much."

Toni takes Cheryl's hand and puts it on her flat stomach. "We love you, too."

"I think this is cause for celebration," Cheryl says with a wink and a smirk.

Before Toni can even react, Cheryl gets off the couch, pushes the coffee table back, and gets on her knees in front of Toni. The redhead's long fingers enter the waistband of her wife's panties. She pulls them down, along with Toni's fishnets and skirt. Cheryl pushes her legs apart by her inner thighs and Toni spreads them as Cheryl inches closer to her center. She pokes her tongue out to wet her lips before dragging the tip of her tongue through her folds.

"Fuck. You're definitely pregnant baby because I can fucking taste it," Cheryl groans against her.

Toni bites her lip and moans as her eyes flutter shut and she throws her head back against the couch. She tangles one hand through Cheryl's hair as the other rests on her shoulder.

The redhead can feel her dick getting harder the more she eats Toni out, so she takes it upon herself to remedy that as she frees it from her boxers to jerk herself off. Toni's loud moans spur her on.

After a little while, Toni starts panting and Cheryl can feel the signs of Toni's pending orgasm as she sucks and licks relentlessly at her until her thighs are squeezing her head.

"Cher, fuck!" Toni screams as a gush of liquid flows out of her, which Cheryl licks up greedily.

Once Cheryl is done cleaning Toni up, Toni pulls her panties, fishnets and skirt back in place as she tries to recover from her orgasm.

Cheryl continues to jerk herself off. She's incredibly close; her dick is throbbing in her hand. She lifts her skirt up as her dick stands tall, pointing towards the ceiling as more and more pre-cum pearls at the slit.

"Let me take care of that for you," Toni says with a rasp, as she lays down flat on the couch.

The redhead stands up and crawls on top of Toni. She straddles her face, a knee on either side of her head. So as to not crush her pregnant wife, the taller girl holds onto the back of the couch with her left hand and onto the armrest with her other as she hovers over Toni.

Once in position, Cheryl aligns her throbbing dick with Toni's mouth. The pink-haired girl parts her plump lips and slides the head of Cheryl's dick into her into her mouth, her cheeks hallowing out while she runs her soft, wet tongue against the sensitive ridge.

"Unghh," Cheryl groans as she feels the dual sensation of her tip brushing against the back of Toni's throat and her tongue sliding wetly against her length.

A few thrusts is all it takes as Cheryl bucks her hips wildly and ejaculates hard. Thick ropes of cum shoot into Toni's mouth, hitting the back of her throat and the roof of her mouth. She swallows a mouthful hungrily.

"Oh God, Toni, mmmmmm," Cheryl moans.

Toni plants a kiss on the tip of the redhead's dick, giving it a final stroke, before running her tongue along the slowly softening length.

Once her dick is completely soft, Cheryl climbs off of Toni as both of them move back into a sitting position. Cheryl pulls her dick back into her boxers, fixes her skirt, and lets out a huff.

"Woah," Cheryl says after a few minutes of comfortable silence. "That was fucking amazing." Toni laughs breathlessly.

"I hope it stays amazing because my mouth is going to be the only hole you're allowed to stick your dick in during the next nine months," Toni tells her as she gets off the couch and makes her way upstairs to change her ruined panties.

"What?! Toni, get back here! What do you mean?!" Cheryl shouts as she runs after her wife.

Cheryl knows the next nine months aren't going to be easy, but she has Toni and Toni has her. As long as they have each other, everything will be okay.
