It had been a week since Jade and Tori's date and, even though they had yet to tell their friends about their current situation, they were enjoying each other's company. Currently the two were each in their last period of the school day, texting each other about possibly having another girl's night. As the half Latina sat in her history class waiting for Jade to text her back, she couldn't help but go over the events of the past week and smile softly at the memories. After their date last Friday the two had spent their weekend relaxing with each other while over the course of the school week they helped each other with homework.
'And today is the day we'll be getting the phone call from Dr. Hart,' Tori reminded herself as she felt her phone vibrate.
Looking down at the screen she smiled as she read the text from her girlfriend, said goth finally agreeing to watching something that wouldn't give her nightmares for the next month, and saying that she would talk to Cat. As she sent a quick reply back to her, Tori felt someone tap her shoulder, the singer turning around to see Rachel sitting behind her and smiling.
"You know if you keep texting Jade in class then you're going to miss most of the lecture," she teased wagging a finger at her, "and I'm pretty sure that this will be on the test next week."
"Yeah well I was just trying to figure some things out for tonight," Tori explain smiling.
"Please tell me it's nothing that will make me barf," Rachel pleaded, Tori rolling her eyes at this.
"Oh please you have no room to talk Rach," Tori retorted shaking her head, "and no we were just planning another girl's night tonight, just the four of us, pajamas, movies, and tons of snacks."
"Cool, I'm in."
"Great, and Jade is talking to Cat so she'll more than likely be coming as well," the half Latina said excitedly.
As if in cue Tori's phone vibrated again, this time Jade telling her that, of course, Cat was in and very very excited. Smiling at her friend's craziness, Tori returned her attention to her teacher and listened to the rest of the lecture, making a mental note to ask Rachel for the rest of them later. After what felt like eternity the bell rang allowing the class to leave for the weekend, Tori and Rachel heading out together.
"So how are things with you and Jade?" Rebel asked as she owned get locker.
"What do you mean?" Tori asked, looming over at the brown haired girl, "you know as well I as I do that we're doing fine."
"Yeah you see I was talking about the fact that you two are obviously dating."
Tori blushed a bright red and stuttered as she tried to come up with something to say, however the look on Rachel's face told her that she wasn't lying her way out of this one. With a sigh of defeat Tori pouted as Rachel laughed, the half Latina wishing that Jade was there to have a snarky comment.
"How did you know we we're dating?" she asked irritable, "we haven't told any of our friends."
"Ouch are you implying I'm not a friend?" Rachel asked in mock pain, "I thought I was getting along with all of you just fine."
"Don't play mind games with me Rach, just remember that I hung out with Jade for a while before we started dating, so I've picked up a couple of things from her."
"Okay okay count to five and calm down little Miss. Sunshine," Rachel said waving her hands, "I just had a hunch and took a leap of faith when I asked you."
"...A hunch?" Tori asked tilting her head to the side.
"Yep."
"You had a hunch that me and Jade were together as girlfriends and you took a leap of faith by asking me?" Tori interrogated with a huff.
"Maybe saying it was a leap of faith add the wrong way of pouring it, that would mean that I had something at stake here," Rachel hummed contently, "it was more of a...well let of a shot in the dark."
"Get to the point Rachel…"
"Jeez Jade had been rubbing off on you, and possibly in more ways than one," Rachel teased, enjoying the blush on Tori's face.
"Inappropriate!" Tori yelped, stomping her foot.
"What's inappropriate?" Cat asked as she and Jade walked up the them.
"Oh I was just wondering if Tori and Jade have…"
"Done our homework!" The half Latina said cutting her off, "and NO we haven't."
Jade, confused by her girlfriend's reaction, glanced between the two brown haired girls when she caught something familiar in Rachel's expression. She had the same evilly playful glint in her eye that she normally had, and judging by the blush that was still in Tori's face she could only guess at stay out was she was teasing her about.
'Hmm, I have a feeling I'm going to like her,' Jade thought with a smirk, 'but I guess I should step in and save Tori before she loses it.'
"Alright you two that's enough," Jade commanded making the two of them look at her in shock, "yeah yeah take it in, Jade West is stopping someone from teasing Tori 'goody two-shoes' Vega."
"Yay! I knew you cared about Tori like friends should," Cat said excitedly as she bounced up and down clapping.
"Sure Cat something like that," Jade replied rolling her eyes, "anyway if we're going to get this girls night started we should head out."
"Another girls night, man I have a feeling that you're just forgetting about us boys," Andre said as he and Robbie walked up to them, Rex in Robbie's arms as always.
Tori smiled at her friend, being quick to tell him that, of course, they hadn't forgotten about them, Jade shaking her head and leaning against Tori's locker while she watched Tori talk to Andre and Cat talk to Robbie. Jade then heard someone lean against the locker next to her and looked over to see Rachel leaning against her locker, her eyes trained on Cat and Robbie. The two stood there in silence, each of them watching one of the conversations, when Rachel finally broke the silence between them.
"He likes her doesn't he?"
"Robbie? Yeah he likes Cat," Jade replied shaking her head, "honestly I'm surprised Cat hasn't done something about that yet."
"What do you mean?" Rachel asked confused.
"She's aware that he likes her but she doesn't do anything about it," Jade explained frowning, "she likes him but it's not the same as the way he likes her, but because she doesn't want to hurt him she hasn't said anything."
"Oh…" Rachel muttered, returning her attention back to Cat.
"At least that's what I've been told, Cat's a ditz but she's not a complete idiot," Jade continued, her frown turning into a smirk as she glanced back at Rachel, "she just takes a bit of time to understand that you like her."
Rachel's eyes widen as she looked over at the goth girl, the expression Jade had gave her no room to doubt that she very much knew that she liked the red headed girl. She had a feeling that the thespian was merely doing this to get back at her for teasing Tori, but of course she had no real evidence to prove that.
"That's for teasing Tori," Jade smirked making Rachel blush, "only I get to do that."
"Humph, fine fine," Rachel agreed in defeat, "by the way when are you going to tell the others about your relationship?"
"When we damn well want to," the goth replied looking back at Tori, "I want to enjoy this one for a little while longer until it becomes public."
Rachel nodded, she could understand what Jade was talking about. It was all well and good to have a public relationship but there was just something about having a private one for a while. You could enjoy each other without everyone else constantly looking at you and waiting for one or the other to make a mistake.
"So Cat uh...would you maybe like to go on a date with me next Friday?"
This question made Rachel freeze as her head whipped around to look at the fuzzy headed boy holding the puppet. Everyone else in the room seemed to have had their attention shift to the two, Tori and Andre looking at the other male in the group while Jade watched on with interest.
"Man she ain't going to go out with you," Rex told his 'friend' shaking his head.
"You don't know that Rex," Robbie said, though his uncertainty was clear in this tone.
"Dude you must be trip'n if you think you have a chance with any girl," the puppet retorted, "we all know that I'd have more luck getting this airhead to go on a date with me then you ever would."
Jade was impressed as she heard a low growl coming from Rachel, the goth glancing over at her to see that her fists were now clenched tight and she was taking a step towards Rex. But Jade could also see that Cat was, surprisingly, also glaring at the puppet, so the West girl held out her arm to stop their newest friend as the red head stomped her foot on the ground.
"Now listen here Rex," Cat hisses, keeping true to the animal she was nicknamed after, "you need to stop being mean to Robbie or else…"
"Or else what Red, you ain't going to do anything to me," Rex challenged.
"I may not, but you forget who I'm friends with," Cat reminded him with a smirk that surprised everyone, "and Jade's been waiting a long time to have a go at you."
Rex gulped, his head swiveling around to look at the thespian leaning against the lockers smirking at him. Seeing that her message got across Cat smiled and returned her attention back to her conversation with Robbie, the poor boy standing there looking at her in disbelief.
"Robbie I'm sorry but I'm going to have to turn down your offer," she said sadly.
"Oh...okay," Robbie muttered looking defeatedly at the ground, "I get it."
"I don't think you do Robbie," Cat remarked, "I like you I really do, but I don't like you the same way you like me."
"Then how do you like me?" he asked looking up at her.
"I see you as a really good friend that I have no problem talking too, even a brother," Cat explained hugging him, "I love you, I really do but...just not the same way okay?"
"...Thanks for being honest with me Cat," Robbie replied hugging her back.
"Not a problem, and besides there are plenty of girls out there, you just have to go talk to them," the redhead said with a huge smile.
"And maybe lose the puppet first," Andre added flinging his arm around his neck, "how about the two of us go to the mall and we'll see what we can do about getting you a new look?"
Robbie smiled and gave Andre a nod, the two boys saying their goodbyes before heading out. With them gone the girls all grabbed their stuff and made their way to their cars, Tori climbing into Jade's car as Cat got into Rachel's. The two cars pulled out of the school parking lot with Jade in the lead and started off towards the West house, Tori messing with her phone while idly chatting with her girlfriend. The singer almost jumped though when she felt her phone go off, an unknown number lighting up the screen.
"Um...Jade do you know this number?" Tori asked holding up the phone for her to see.
Jade took the phone from her hand and looked at the number, humming softly as she racked her brain for any information. The number did seem familiar but she couldn't place where she had seen it when it suddenly hit her.
"Answer it," she told Tori, handing her back the phone.
"Huh?"
"Just answer it, it might be the phone call we've been waiting all week for," Jade explained, Tori's eyes lighting up with excitement as she hit the answer button and put it on speaker phone.
"Hello?" Tori answered smiling.
"Hello, is this Tori Vega's phone?"
"This is Tori Vega yes, how are you doing Dr. Hart?" Tori asked setting the phone on Jade's phone dock.
"I'm fine thank you for asking, I had tried calling Jade's phone but it went straight to voicemail," Dr. Hart explained, her tone of voice conveying that she was happy Tori answered.
"Yeah sorry about that, my phone died during my last period of school and I just haven't charged it yet," Jade said with a smirk, Tori rolling her eyes.
"Oh Jade you're there too, that's great! Anyway I assume you know why I'm calling?" Dr. Hart asked the two.
"We have a good idea yes, so I'm guessing we were chosen," Tori replied shifting in her seat nervously.
"I have chosen three groups of two and have called at the first two," Dr. Hart said, the two girls looking at each other and taking a hold of the other's hand, "and you two will be my last call of the day if you're still interested in doing the experiment."
"So we were chosen?" Jade asked in shocked disbelief.
"Yep, would you two like to participate or have you had second thoughts?"
"No no no we want to help," Tori said hurriedly, "we're just surprised that you actually chose us with us being high schoolers."
"Well while that was a concern we did say that you'd be able to get a full ride scholarship to a college of your choice," Dr. Hart said with a chuckle, "It would seem silly to take that back now, and you two were one of the couples that seemed genuinely interested in the experiment."
"Well like Tori said we'd love to continue with it, is there anything we need to do at the moment?" Jade asked grinning.
"Actually if you two could stop by real quick and sign a couple of things that will be all I need at the moment, it's nothing big, just a waiver and we'd discuss when you'd want to attempt conception."
"Alright then, just let us give our friends a call and we'll head over there, we're suppose to be having a girls night," Jade explained, Tori nodding next to her.
"That will be fine, I guess I'll see you two real soon then," Dr. Hart said happily.
"Yep, see you in a few Dr. Hart," Tori replied hanging up.
Tori squealed in excitement, Jade shaking her head at her girlfriend's reaction. She would have said something but to be honest she was just as excited as the half Latina was, and the goth could imagine the two of them playing with a little girl who liked like both of them. Toriquickly called Cat and explained that they had to do something real quick as Jade got on the needed exit, the half Latina telling their friend to simply go ahead and go to Jade's house. It didn't take long for them to make it to the hospital and get to Dr. Hart's office, said doctor waiting for then with the papers ready.
"Hello girls," Dr. Hart said with a smile, "I'm glad you could make it on such short notice."
"It's nothing really," Tori assured her.
"Yeah we just got out of school so it's cool," Jade pointed out with a smirk, "though it would've been better if you got us out of school."
"I'll make sure to remember that next time," Dr. Hart joked shaking her head, "anyway like I said over the phone I just have a couple of things for you to sign and we'll set up an appointment for us to prep you for conception."
The two nodded and took the papers and looked them over, Jade handing the paper for the one conceiving the child to Tori. Signing the required papers they handed them back and Dr. Hart looked them over for a second.
"Okay so Tori you'll be carrying the child?" She asked looking at the singer for confirmation.
"Yep," Tori replied with a smile.
"Okay then so more we need to decide when we can set up the experiment for you."
"Would next week work?" Tori asked, looking over at Jade who merely shrugged.
"That should be fine, why don't you come by after school Monday and we can get started," Dr. Hart suggested.
"That should be fine, but what am I going to be doing?" Jade asked furrowing her brow.
"Well when you come in Monday we'll take a void sample and isolate your DNA, after that we'll place it in the pseudo sperm I showed you and, well I'm sure I don't need to tell you the rest."
"And how would that part work?" Tori asked curiously, "like where would we do that?"
"Well we would have you do it here obviously, in privacy of course, but only so that we can make sure that everything goes according to plan," Dr. Hart explained to the two of them, "all in all the beginning of the experiment won't take to long."
"Just the next nine months," Tori confirmed, Dr. Hart nodding.
"Yep nine months of hormones, mood swings, and cravings," Jade teased, nudging Tori.
"And guess who gets to take care of me," Tori retorted smirking.
"Trina?"
Dr. Hart chuckled as she watched the two of them tease each other. After the two bid the doctor farewell the two headed out towards Jade's house. When they pulled into the driveway they saw Rachel's 2015 corvette stingray sitting there with the two sitting on the front porch in the swinging chair, Cat leaning against the other girl.
"Well don't you two look comfortable," Jade teased walking up to them.
"You're not going to hear me complaining," Rachel remarked with a grin, "besides I don't feel right going into your house without you here."
"Fair enough," Jade replied with a shrug.
"So where did you two go?" Cat asked with innocent curiosity.
"We just had to go sign a couple of things Cat that's all," Tori said smiling at her.
"Oh oh what did you have to sign?" the redhead continued, her eyes wide with excitement.
"Well tell you on another day, we want to talk to our parents first before we tell anyone else," Tori says trying to calm her friend down.
"You promise?"
"I promise Cat, now why don't we go inside and get this girls stated," the singer suggested as Jade opened the front door.
As Cat and Rachel walked inside the goth pulled on Tori's arm, giving her a small kiss on the cheek. Smiling, Tori returned the kiss and held Jade's hand as they followed their two friends, knowing that this would be one of their last chances to hang out with their friends before they attempted to have a child.
