So just a warning the next chapter is the final chapter and it will be posted before this story hits the year mark. Let me know what you think of the story, because we are planning on doing a sequel. Feel free to leave suggestions for the sequel too!
Just before opening, Jack and Goldie were hanging out in their typical spot in the employee lounge. Silence had fallen on them again, but it wasn't an awkward one. They were locked in each other's gaze they almost didn't hear the door to the lounge open.
Looking up from the couch, they saw Bonnie. He waved hello, and pulled up a chair.
"Hey lovebirds, how are things going?" he said teasingly, causing both Jack and Goldie to blush.
"We're good." they replied simultaneously.
For a few minutes it was small talk about work and various other things, before it turned on to the topic of their pregnancies. They shared their experiences before the conversation took a turn.
"Why don't girls have as many pregnancies?" Goldie wondered aloud.
"Uh, Goldie, plenty of them do." Jack replied with a chuckle.
"I phrased that wrong. I mean like lesbian couples." Goldie said. "I see straight couples all the time have kids, and people in relationships like ours have kids."
The room fell silent as Jack contemplated a reply. Bonnie sat there dumbfounded, but intrigued by the question, and wanted to hear Jack's thoughts on it.
"Alright, this is going to be a little lengthy. Ready for it?" he asked, and the others nodded. "Well as you know we all have outdoor plumbing. This means when we have relations, something's coming out. After it comes out, it then goes into the other guy, or girl, depending on the relationship. There, it comes in contact with an egg, and therefore, resulting in a pregnancy. The thing with two women is that they don't have outdoor plumbing, just indoor. It's the reason why straight couples and us can reproduce. It's rare that two females can end up impregnating one or the other."
Goldie and Bonnie's jaws dropped, and mouthed a "whoa", and Jack laughed.
"C'mon guys, that's just simple biology." Jack said.
"Yeah, but some of us have been exclusive to one side of things." Bonnie huffed.
"Hey now nothing personal. I don't know too much about the other side, but that's just the basics."
"I know both sides and that was an eye-opener." Goldie replied, still in a haze.
Bonnie and Jack laughed.
"That's alright Goldie Bear." he said, kissing Goldie on the cheek. "It looks like it's opening. I guess we should get going."
Hope wandered through the restaurant stretching her legs before she had to get back to the kitchen for the lunch rush. As she wandered by the door to backstage, Toni rushed out seeming nervous and a little upset.
"Hey Toni! What's wrong?" Hope asked running to catch up with her. Toni leaned against the wall and took some deep breaths.
"I'm just nervous, Carrie and I are talking about taking things further… I don't know if I'm ready for that." Toni said, running her hands through her hair.
"I'm sure she would respect that if you told her. You know she's a total sweetie." Hope replied, trying to soothe her friend. Hope was slightly confused as to how the two could go further considering that from information gathered at the alliance meetings, they already were very very intimate.
"I don't want to tell her no though! She really really wants this. I don't want to deprive her of something she's dreamed of." Toni explained sliding down the wall until she sat on the floor.
"Toni, Carrie cares about what you think! She would never want you unhappy. Just talk it out with her. She loves you as much as you love her." Hope said sitting beside Toni.
"I guess that makes sense. Thanks, I guess I was just psyching myself out. Relationships can be really complicated and hard to handle sometimes." Toni sighed.
"I wouldn't expect that from you. It seems like you and Carrie have the perfect relationship." Hope replied. The two always showed their love, and they always seemed happy together. It was hard to believe that even their seemingly perfect relationship could be difficult at times.
"You've been in just two relationships right? Things on the outside seemed fine with Goldie didn't they? None of us expected you two to break up. Maybe to argue a bit, but we never thought it would end the way it did. Of course you had the outside influence of Foxy, but Carrie and I have our issues as well. We just keep them between us." Toni answered. It wasn't the first time somebody questioned how Toni and Carrie managed without ever fighting.
"That was way different. Things may not have ended with Goldie if the Foxy stuff hadn't happened. Plus, I have Spring now and we definitely argue!" Hope said.
"Yeah, but it's healthy for you two. By the way, ever since last weekend you and Spring have been arguing way less. You know if anything happened the alliance members absolutely have to know!" Toni said, obviously suggesting what activities Hope and her boyfriend may have enjoyed last weekend.
"This conversation was supposed to be about you!" Hope said, blushing red.
"Oh no, enough of that sad shit I need to know!" Toni exclaimed, happy to forget about her troubles.
"No you don't! I am NOT going to talk about how Spring was in bed!" Hope exclaimed, flustered by Toni's assumptions, and how correct they were.
"So you did have sex!" Toni exclaimed, "Carrie guess what!"
"Oh hell no." Hope muttered, running back to the kitchen before Carrie could show up to question her on what Spring was like.
After lunch Jack found himself strolling into the kitchen once more. Since he's started to date Goldie his typical routine consists of him talking to Goldie right after lunch. Pushing the double doors open, he walked into the kitchen.
Looking around for his lover, he spotted him leaning against one of the center island counters. Jack noticed as he walked towards him that he was covered in flour, and had a smudge of it on his cheek. When he was close enough, Goldie smiled.
"Hi Jack." he said sweetly. "How did the lunch rush go?"
"Oh you know, the same old. Irritated customers who are rude because of their ravenous hunger." Jack replied, causing Goldie to laugh. "I can see that it was wild for you as well."
"Yeah, it always is. The orders never stop coming in!"
"Haha, yeah they never do. Though you have a little something on your cheek."
Jack licked his thumb and then rubbed the flour off of his cheek. Goldie giggled, and Jack kissed him where the flour had once been.
"Thanks." Goldie said.
"No problem gorgeous." Jack replied in a movie actor voice, causing Goldie to laugh again.
"You're great, do you know that?"
"I think I do, but do you know you're wonderful?"
"Aw, why thank you!"
Goldie then leaned in for a kiss, which Jack returned willingly. Things began to escalate until the two men were in a full on makeout. Pretty soon they were on the ground, leaned up against a counter.
Neither of them realized that Foxy had come in looking for Chica. Upon hearing the noises in the room, he went to investigate, only to find the two men lip-locked. Cringing, he left quickly, trying to make sure he didn't make a sound on his way out.
"Do they not have any respect?" he thought to himself as he pushed the kitchen doors open, "This is a place of work, not their home!"
Foxy paused mid-stride. With his change in mind, he realized he was being a bit hypocritical. He had done the exact same thing with Chica, and many others, right here in this restaurant. Not to mention when he had gone further with them.
Shaking his head, he continued to put distance between himself and the kitchen.
"Spring! Where are you? I told you we were eating lunch together!" Hope exclaimed as she looked around the empty security office. The lunch rush had been especially hellish today and for once Hope didn't really feel like playing Spring's games. With a sigh Hope plopped down in the empty office chair. She opened her lunch and slowly began eating, waiting for Spring to get back from wherever he was.
"Don't jump down my throat! I was in Mangle's office!" Spring exclaimed bursting into the office.
"Oh. Hey Spring." Hope replied,off in her own world.
"Okay then. There is definitely something wrong with you." Spring said sitting on the desk and looking down at Hope as she ate.
"No I'm just tired." Hope replied.
"Well then let me fix that." Spring said scooping the out of the chair.
"Hey! I was trying to eat!" Hope exclaimed starting to pout.
"Oh calm down." Spring replied sitting down in the office chair with Hope in his arms. "There now you can eat again, happy?"
Hope shrugged and went back to eating her lunch. Spring reached for his and ate as well absentmindedly stroking her hair.
"So what did you do today?" Hope asked snuggling close to Spring since she was finished eating.
"Nothing really just watched the cameras. That one in the kitchen is always going out though so I never get to watch the nicest thing in the restaurant." Spring answered scarfing down the rest of his lunch.
"Oh hush. I'm not in the mood for this today. Can we just cuddle for a bit today?" Hope responded.
"Okay." Spring replied pulling her close.
Jolting awake, Jack didn't realize where he was for a moment. Blinking the sleep out of his eyes, he realized he was at Goldie's. They both were able to get off early today, and they then came over to his apartment to relax. Eyes drifting back to Goldie, he was curled up on the opposite side of the couch, cuddling Bonnie the Stuffed Bunny. Jack smiled. When he spent the night, he brought along Bonnie. Apparently Goldie took a liking to him.
Stretching, he then crawled his way across the couch over to his lover. He began to gently kiss his face, and he saw Goldie's eyes twitch, and then open. Once he also blinked the sleep from his eyes and focus on Jack, he smiled.
"Well good morning there Goldie Bear." Jack said gruffly, sleep still in his voice, "Sleep well?"
"I did thank you, but it's the afternoon." Goldie replied.
"I know, I just like messing with you."
Goldie then sat up and stretched. Jack put an arm around him, and Goldie rested his head on his shoulder with a yawn.
"Man, I didn't expect to be this tired." Goldie said. "Pregnancy is hard."
Jack kissed his cheek. "It's alright Goldie. The first trimester is usually pretty rough, but once we get further along I'm sure we'll be fine."
"I suppose. Though I'm tired of a swollen chest."
"Not to mention swollen feet."
"Cravings as well."
"True."
At that moment, Goldie's stomach rumbled loud enough for the two to hear. Jack's did as well, but it was more quiet than Goldie's.
"I'm also tired of being constantly hungry." Goldie huffed, rubbing his abdomen.
"I can relate." Jack replied. "Though I'm a bit hungry myself. Why don't we do dinner?"
"How about we go somewhere?" Goldie suggested.
"I don't think so. It's prime dinner time, so all the places will be packed."
"So then what do we do?"
Jack thought for a moment, and then he had a revelation. A smile made its way onto his face, and Goldie ended up smiling too.
"Alright, that face means you have something." Goldie teased. "What is it?"
"We make pizzas with chips on it like a few weeks ago!" Jack exclaimed.
"Yes! That sounds amazing. Here, I'll get the dough ready, and you can get everything else that we need. Sound good?"
"Sounds like a plan to me."
The two men then jumped off the couch, and ran to the kitchen. The sounds of cabinets opening and closing soon filled the room, as well as the sounds of pizza being made.
As Hope cleaned up the kitchen she looked around. Of course nobody else could stay late to clean up. Stupid pregnant co workers. She mumbled to herself. She sighed as she put away the last of the extra pizza ingredients.
With a yawn Hope headed out of the restaurant stopping short when she heard an eerie moaning coming from backstage. Flashing back to the horrible moments with Foxy, Hope rushed towards the source of the moaning. Just as it occurred to Hope that what she was hearing was more than likely not Foxy she slammed into the door to the backstage area, forcing it wide open.
"I TOLD YOU WE SHOULD HAVE WAITED!" Carrie screamed scrambling to cover herself. Toni squealed and fell backwards off the couch she had pinned Carrie to.
"Why does this happen to me?!" Hope asked herself quickly slamming the backstage door closed. At this point it seemed to Hope she had seen just about every person that worked at this damn restaurant doing it with someone else. To be honest, Hope just really wanted to see more people with clothes on.
After getting herself together, Hope walked quickly out of the restaurant trying once again to get the images of another couples lovemaking out of her mind.
