Chapter 11: God's Little Joke

October 8, 2041- Priss Asagiri's and Linna Yamakzaki's apt- Tokyo

Nene and Mackie followed Priss into the living room, as the singer flopped down on the couch in front of the television. The couple sat down in the love seat, as the three friends discussed what to watch. Linna was still in the kitchen putting the dirty dinner dishes into the dishwasher.

"Gee Priss, you look like you've filled out since Linna's been back. You've lost that chic anemic look that you had going." the blonde hacker teased.

Priss laughed. "Yeah, well, Linna promised me that she'd cook for me anytime I wanted." she responded.

"And you haven't let me forget it either!" her girlfriend called from the kitchen.

"You better be careful, Priss. You might actually have to go and buy some new clothes that fit!" Nene joked.

"Um..she didn't mean that!" Mackie said worriedly, embarrassed by his girlfriend's teasing.

"Sure she did; but it's okay." the tall woman reassured him.

Soon, Linna came into the room and sat down beside her girlfriend. Priss put an arm around her, pulled her close, and kissed her lightly on the tip of her nose. "That was a very good dinner, hon." she told her.

The brown haired woman smiled back at her girlfriend. "I'm glad you enjoyed it." she said as she leaned back, and propped her feet up on the coffee table.

"How do you have the energy to work with Sylia all day, and then come home and cook for Priss?" Nene asked. "I don't know if I'd do that for Mackie." she said as nudged her boyfriend playfully.

"Oh, is that so?" he asked, then began to tickle his girlfriend.

"Okay, you guys! Settle down." Priss grumbled, as the couple became sillier. Finally, Nene and Mackie pulled away from each other, red-faced and giggling.

"That's not fair! I had to watch you and Linna kiss at least twenty times tonight." Nene pouted. "But I guess I don't mind, cause I'm glad you two are back together."

"Aw, isn't that sweet?..Linna?" Priss asked as she looked over at her girlfriend, only to find that she had fallen fast asleep beside her. "And I wondered why she seemed so quiet." the singer remarked in amusement.

"I guess sis worked her hard today." the young man said apologetically.

" Sylia has been real good to us, Mackie. She's paying Linna a really good salary and they get along fine. Linna's just been tired this week for some reason. I offered to cook dinner for us tonight, but she refused. I don't think she likes my cooking." the singer explained.

"Well, can you blame her? She still hasn't recovered from that horseradish sandwich you made her that time!" Nene laughed, as she reminded Priss of what she had done to Linna shortly after the two had met.

The singer looked embarrassed. "She told you about that?" she asked. "Yeah, I was being a bitch to her then." she smirked.

"Some things never change" Nene said jokingly, as her boyfriend looked away embarrassed.

"Ha ha." Priss said sarcastically.

Thirty minutes later-----------

Priss walked Nene and Mackie to the door, as they exchanged their goodnights. Then she locked the deadbolt, and walked over to the couch where Linna was still asleep and snoring softly.

The singer decided to finish cleaning up the kitchen. Usually she didn't like to do any household chores, but since she loved Linna (who went out of her way to cook and pamper her), the singer made herself help out with the household chores.

The apartment they had gotten was small but cozy. With Linna's job at The Silky Doll' and Priss's gigs at Hot Legs; they were able to afford what they needed. Her girlfriend still had some furniture, clothes, moped, and personal items at her parent's house. She wanted to go get her things but hadn't had time yet.

Unfortunately, every time Linna tried to call her parents; they would never answer the phone, or return any of the messages their daughter left. Priss knew her lover was troubled by her parent's rejection, and had to comfort her many times over her parents actions. She hoped that one day Linna's parents would come to accept their daughter's choices in life.

Priss finished cleaning up and turned out the kitchen light. Then she went over to her sleeping girlfriend, picked her up and carried her into the bedroom. She laid her down gently on the bed and began to undress her while Linna slept through it all. Finished, Priss then stripped off her own clothes, slid in next to her girlfriend to spoon against her body, and drifted off to sleep.

October 9, 2041- Priss & Linna's apt- Tokyo

Linna woke up naked, and realized that her girlfriend must have undressed her and put her to bed. The last thing she remembered was having Nene and Mackie over. She felt bad that she had fallen asleep in front of her guests; but she had felt so tired lately. She looked over at Priss who was sprawled out over the bed. They both had purposely picked a big bed for comfort, and because the singer was a major bed hog.

Linna looked at her lover's sleeping face and felt so content. Priss looked beautiful. She had gained weight and looked much healthier. She had finally kicked the pill habit that she had kept secret from her, and had drove her away. They had talked about Priss's addictions and her painful past right after they returned to Tokyo. It was painful to hear, but Linna wasn't surprised by it. She knew her girlfriend had it hard after her parent's death. She made Priss promise her that if she ever wanted to take pills again to please tell her, and get help. They both cried when they realized how they almost lost each other due to not communicating.

But now, they were getting along great. Linna was so happy to finally be with Priss. They were living together and all her dreams were coming true. She was just wondering what would happen to destroy it all...

Linna sighed. She was glad that Sylia had given her the day off because she needed the extra rest. She had a slight queasiness in her stomach this morning, and wondered if she had eaten too much last night. She had noticed she had put on a few pounds lately, and figured she should ease off the sweets.

As she lay there thinking, Priss suddenly was beside her, softly kissing her on the tender skin of her neck. "Good morning." the singer whispered softly.

"Good morning." she responded, as she returned her lover's embrace. Priss's hands then began exploring her girlfriend's body, slowly running down across her stomach, thighs, then between her legs. She began stroking and soothing Linna's sensitive spot, making her wet, before finally inserting her fingers up into her ."Ohh.."she moaned, as she matched her movements to the rhythm of Priss's expert fingers.

"You feel so good." the singer murmured appreciatively, as her girlfriend moaned and panted, then she felt her lovers inner muscles begin to tighten around her deeply embedded fingers. Soon, Linna buried her head into Priss's shoulder as she cried out in release.

They lay together while Linna recovered. As Priss reached out to gently stroke one of her girlfriend's breasts, her girlfriend winced in pain.

"What's wrong?" the singer asked, noticing the look of discomfort flash across her lovers face.

"My breasts feel a bit sore and tender, It's probably nothing-maybe I wore my bra too tight yesterday..." her girlfriend explained.

"Are you feeling okay? I know you've been tired lately, and now you're hurting. Do you want to go to the doctor?" the singer asked concerned over her love.

"No, I'm just tired." Linna said. Then she turned and smiled at Priss seductively. "You know, I owe you for that amazing little wake me up you just gave me." she said, as she began to lighty stroke her girlfriend's bare breasts and nipples.

"You don't have to baby. We can just snuggle." Priss suggested gently.

"One good turn deserves another..." Linna said, as she began kissing down her girlfriend's body, and disappeared beneath the sheets.

"Umm... Ah! Okay, you win." Priss sighed, as her girlfriend repaid her.

October 10, 2041- The Silky Doll- Tokyo

Sylia noticed that Linna didn't look well this morning. Her friend and employee was pale and seemed tired.

"Are you feeling alright, Linna?" she asked in concern.

"Well.. to be honest, I'm feeling a little queasy." the younger woman responded, while she straightened a sale rack.

"Have you eaten something that didn't agree with you? Please, don't tell me that you're eating Priss's cooking! That would explain it." Sylia said in mock horror.

Linna laughed "No, I don't live that dangerously! I don't know why I feel like this. I've felt like this the past three mornings." she explained.

Sylia started to get a funny feeling. "Are you having any other symptoms?" she asked.

"Well, my breasts feel sore and tender and I feel tired." the younger woman said.

"Do you think you might be pregnant?" Sylia asked hesitantly.

"How could I be? I'm a les...Oh my god! Masaki!" Linna yelped, suddenly remembering that she had been intimate with him that one time.

Frantically, she did the math in her head. It had been about six weeks since she had slept with Masaki, and she was almost two weeks late on her period. She thought it had been irregular because of the stress she had been through with her parents. But now it seemed there was a good chance that she could be pregnant with Masaki's child.

Sylia watched as all the color drain from her friend's face.

"What's wrong? Do you think that you are?" her employer asked anxiously.

"I guess I'll need to take a pregnancy test. I'm late as well." Linna responded softly.

------------------------------------------------

Linna sat in the bathroom and stared in shock at the test strip. She couldn't believe it. The test was positive, and she was going to be a mother.

Linna the lesbian with a rock star girlfriend was pregnant.

This had to be God's little joke on her.

It wasn't funny...
