Chapter 3
Date: Thursday 22nd February 2007…Buttercup and Blossom meeting up for lunch…
Blossom ordered some fries for the pair of them as Buttercup got the coke and coffee from the desk.
She placed them on the table as she joined her sister on the table for two in the small café.
"I'm so envious. Bubbles is pregnant, you could be. Brick wants to give it some time before we try." Blossom said as she sipped her coffee.
"So, you want kids with Brick?" Buttercup asked.
Blossom nodded.
"Well, he's not that bright is he? Why don't you just entice him to bed and don't remind him to use a condom." Buttercup suggested.
Blossom laughed. "I'll use that one if I get a desperate need to mother."
"It was soo amazing. Sex is soo much better when you know there could be a reward." Buttercup said.
"Wait, why do we keep saying could be? There's a big chance that you're pregnant right now!"
Buttercup looked down. "Maybe. I just feel like if I don't think I am, then if I'm not it won't be such a shock."
"Yeah, that is a good way to think about it."
Their fries arrived, and they thanked the waitress.
"So, you and Butch thinking about…marriage…maybe?" Blossom asked.
"Well, I think we'll see how the kids thing goes, then, well, see how we're taking things!" Buttercup said.
Blossom had seen her sister before she finally got together with Butch. She was tired, constantly having one night stands here and everywhere, and became green with jealously whenever she saw one of the many women with Butch.
But now, she was soo much different. I mean, look! She was trying for children, discussing marriage! Wow! Go BC!
"Sounds good! So, when you gonna take a pregnancy test?" Blossom said.
"Well, it'll be a week tomorrow, I know the usual way someone tries for a baby is to just do it without a condom, and I did, but you don't know how much I've read on this, and I just want it to go nice and smoothly." Buttercup said, sounding quite upset and excited at the same time. What Buttercup meant was she didn't wanna be disappointed.
"Tomorrow, I guess. I could today, but I dunno. I'm gonna book a hospital visit though, they're the most precise."
"Yeah, that would be the best. So, Butch gonna go with you?"
She nodded. "Of course. I'm gonna go and get a check up on my way back to work. Speaking of which, we better get going."
Blossom glanced at the clock as she ate her last frie. "Yeah, you're right. I'll see you soon! Good luck! I hope everything goes ok give me a call yeah?"
Buttercup nods happily, and they fly off in different directions.
Blossom heads left, passing another coffeehouse as she heads for work. As she passes it, she notices 'waiters/waitresses needed' sign being taken off the wall, by Brick!
She stops in her tracks. Brick? Getting himself a job?
She entered the shop as Brick tied an apron round his waist.
"Hey. What are you doing?" Blossom said as she walked up to him.
"Oh, hey Bloss, um, surprise! I got myself a job!" Brick said.
"Great!" Blossom said, being supportive. It was a start at least. She wanted Brick to have what she had, a job she really enjoyed doing, an ambition.
"Hows the pay like?"
"$3.50 an hour."
Blossom didn't know what to say. She got a lot more.
"Well, it's a start yeah?" at least he was trying. He nodded.
"Shoot, I'm gonna be late, When do you get off?" Blossom asked him.
"9 tonight. That closes any plans, but hey, we'll arrange something this weekend if you want, I don't work weekends." Brick said.
Blossom was a little disappointed, but nodded. Brick looked soo pleased with himself.
"Ok then." She planted a big kiss on his cheek. "See ya later, I'm gonna be late."
Brick raised his hand as she walked off, giving her a slap on the ass. "Get to work!" he said with a grin as Blossom looked round, blushing, trying to be offended.
"Brick!"
"Oh come off it, you know you like it." He replied with a wink. "See ya later."
Blossom said goodbye and flew off to work.
Meanwhile…
Buttercup sat on the bed, fiddling with her hands. Butch sat her side, stroking her thigh softly.
"I'm soo freaking nervous." Buttercup says, looking down at her flat tummy.
"Why? Don't be. If you're not pregnant this time, we try again. Its fine." Butch reassured her.
"I guess so." Buttercup said unsurely.
"Why are you so nervous? We know infertility doesn't run in you girls, cos Bubbles is pregnant."
"I know, I'm just freaked, that's all."
"Chill, we're gonna be fine."
The nurse returns, and brings in small plastic cup.
"Hello sweetheart. Now, I'm going to do a blood test to check you are ovulating nicely."
Buttercup nods as she takes some blood with the syringe.
"Ok, I'll take this away for more tests. Be right back with you."
And then she left.
Later…
"So?" Butch asks as the nurse returns with another doctor.
"Well, you're not pregnant." The two green ruff/puffs faces' fall. "We're going to do a pap smear to check on your reproductive organs just to make sure nothings wrong down there, ok, then we'll go from there."
Buttercup nods uneasily.
After some tests are done, the doctors and Butch return to the room…
"So?!" Butch asks again.
"Well, we'll cut to the chase. Its not looking good. After undergoing the tests, we didn't actually find anything wrong with your reproductive organs, but for some reason Butch's sperm can't get to your egg. We'll give it another month, and then try again and we'll see what happens." The doctor said.
Buttercup felt the lump form in her throat. She knew things wouldn't be easy…
R&R!!
