Alien

Chapter 9

Kate went through three separate interviews. The first two were about Earth. They wanted to know everything and seemed most interested in her being a homicide detective. The third was what she knew about the device that wiped out everyone on Earth. They wanted to know how she felt about that. She finally broke down and sobbed over everyone on Earth dying. For the most part they just let her be.

Kate was in her room when someone that wasn't in a suit walked in. "You're free to go. I'll take you to April."

He led her to the waiting area and stepped aside so she could walk in. The second she saw April, she ran to her and hugged her. "I'm allowed to go!"

"So they told me. Are you ready to go home? My home?"

Kate nodded. "More than ready." April was all she had now. Well, that and her baby. But she needed daily injections to keep it. With that on her mind, she checked with April about it. "Do you have my shots?"

"Yes," April reassured Kate as she guided her to her apartment. "I have everything we'll need."

~oo0oo~

They took a train initially, then they walked. Kate saw her first flying car. It certainly looked like a police car.

Kate watched April place her hand on a pad, and after pressing a few panels, she asked Kate to do it. "There, now you can unlock the door too. Just remember where you are."

April went in first, with Kate close behind her. "It's not much, but this is home."

Kate looked around. It wasn't anything like the ship. This place looked lived in. She lived here. There were knickknacks everywhere. There was even a kitchen to cook in, which surprised her. She looked at April. "You cook? I didn't know that."

"Yeah, I cook. There's no replicator here. Which reminds me, we need to go shopping. The cupboards are bare since I was supposed to be gone a long time," April said. "Are you good to go? If not you can stay home. You're perfectly safe here."

"No, I'll go. I need to learn," Kate replied.

April smiled. "Good, then let's go."

~oo0oo~

They were back from shopping for groceries. To say it was an eye-opener for Kate would be an understatement. She could read what they said, mostly. There were some things she couldn't. She didn't recognize any of the meats or whatever they were, not even the cold cuts or cheeses.

She took them out of the bag and let April put them away. Kate held up a can. "What's this?"

"That's one of the canned vegetables. Hopefully, you'll like it." She took the can and put it away. "You can watch media while I cook," April offered.

"If you don't mind, I'd rather help you cook," Kate said, a little hesitant. Not everyone liked other people in their kitchen while they were cooking.

April's face lit up. "Of course! I can use the help."

~oo0oo~

They didn't make love to each other though they did sleep in the same bed. They had little choice since there was only one bed. They slept in each other's arms after Kate got her shot.

That morning Kate woke to an empty bed. Still naked, she got up and looked around the apartment, realizing April was gone. Kate felt trapped because she had no idea where to go and didn't have money to get there, even if she did.

Then Kate heard the door unlock, and April came in. Kate was all over her. "Where did you go? You didn't leave a note or anything!"

"I went out to collect everything you'll need to study to be a sheriff. I brought you a tablet containing everything you will need. It involves a lot of studying and…" April's voice trailed off. "What?" She saw the look on Kate's face.

"You... You did that for me?" Kate asked, feeling somewhat overwhelmed.

"Of course, Kate," April responded. "If it's not what you want to do, we can think of something else." But, instead of answering her, Kate kissed her. April smiled. "I take it you like it?"

"Yeah, I like it. Thank you." She should have known better. April told her she loved her. She was just trying to help. "It looks like I have some reading to do."

"Let me know if you need any help with it," April said. "You're getting good at my language, but you're not perfect yet."

~oo0oo~

April had nowhere to go that day, so she sat around the apartment watching Kate do some reading. She had trouble with some of it but worked her way through it. April was so proud of her. She knew there was so much that Kate had to acclimate to and a lot to learn.

Kate watched April make lunch while she read. "It sounds a lot like the Police Academy back home. I went through that, and I can get through this," Kate assured her.

"Good, that's good. We'll get you an ID and set up a bank account tomorrow morning. You're sure this is something you want to do?"

"First, what can you tell me about this Sheriff's offer?" Kate inquired. She needed information to make the right decision.

"There's a moon that recently went through terraforming, and maybe a hundred people are there now. You may be a deputy sheriff at first but give it time, and you'll be sheriff," April told her, "because I believe in you."

Hearing that from April made Kate feel like she could do anything. "How big is this moon in terms I will understand?"

"The moon is about 1,635 miles at its equator. The people there are building a community, and eventually, there will be three such communities with scattered housing. Does that sound good to you?"

"It doesn't sound bad. So what does it take to get into this Police Academy?"

"That's where getting you an ID comes in."

"If it takes six months to clear the Academy, our baby could show up before I graduate." Kate shook her head. "I'm not sure they'll accept me since I might miss some of it."

"We'll cross that bridge when we get there. So are you in?" April questioned her.

Kate looked a little worried, but she made up her mind – she wanted to do this. "Definitely! I'm in."

~oo0oo~

They made love to each other that night, and it felt incredible.

The next day April took Kate to get an ID and open a bank account. "What's the reason for the bank account?" Kate didn't understand why she needed it.

"To pay your bills. It costs to enter the Police Academy," April explained patiently. "And you'll need money so you can eat. I won't be there. I have a job," she reminded her. "Which starts tomorrow."

"Oh." Kate should have known that.

"You'll also need money to get back and forth between the Academy and home," April said.

Kate felt like she should have known all that. "Yeah, yeah, I get it. Sorry."

~oo0oo~

They settled down into a new normal for both of them. April went to work, and Kate went to the Academy once she figured out how to reach it.

The two of them came home, and April would fix dinner since Kate still didn't understand just what was what when it came to food choices. The meat looked familiar, but it sure didn't taste the same. Not even close.

Then they watched a movie. Sometimes they would finish it, but sometimes they wouldn't. It all depended on their mood and how fast they had sex. They still made love to each other. The only difference was Kate didn't have to clean April's cock after it had been in Kate's ass since they no longer did that.

In the morning, they had breakfast together and went their separate ways after a kiss at the door. They were still so much in love with each other.

Little by little, Kate grew larger. She was a couple weeks over two months pregnant when she started at the Academy and was eight months pregnant when graduation came around. She had passed her exams with flying colors and was second in her class. Kate was proud of her accomplishment. That it was a different Academy on an alien planet said something.

Xx

April came home after a long day at work. "No baby yet?" It had been nearly nine months.

"No, not yet. I'm so over being pregnant. My feet hurt, my back is killing me, and my breasts, which are larger, are tender. I just want this to be over," Kate complained. "Help me up. I need to go to the bathroom again." Kate raised both hands and waited for April to get her to her feet.

"Thanks. I swear this baby thinks my bladder is a punching bag. Here, feel." She grabbed hold of April's hand and placed it on her belly.

April could feel the baby moving and smiled. "Lively little one."

"Oh, yeah." Waddling, Kate hurried to the bathroom. A little while later, April heard Kate yell for her, and she came running. "My water broke."

"Your water broke. YOUR WATER BROKE! I'll get your bag. We need to get you to the hospital." April hustled to get Kate's go bag and came back to the bathroom. "Do you need any help with anything?"

"No, just help me to the door," Kate told her and let her help her all the way to the hospital.

~oo0oo~

"You're Katherine Beckett, the human?" someone asked Kate when she checked in.

"Yes, that's right."

"We've been expecting you. I'll notify your doctor. In the meantime, let's look you over," the nurse said. April was right there for all of it.

Eighteen hours later, Kate was still in labor and was tired. Dead tired. "Let's check and see how far you've gotten," the same nurse told her. She had left, and a different nurse replaced her. And now she was back again.

"It looks like you're just about ready. I'll alert the doctor." She left the two of them.

"It's about damn time," Kate complained.

"Hey, you're doing great. So what if it's been…," April checked her watch, "18 hours and 22 minutes. You're doing great," she repeated.

"You're so not helping," Kate panted. She didn't need to know how long she'd been in labor.

"Sorry."

The doctor and the nurse entered the room just then. "I heard we're ready to get this show on the road. Let's take a look." She folded the sheet back and checked Kate. "Have you started pushing?"

"A little, yeah. Is that bad?" Kate asked her worriedly.

"No, not at all. The head hasn't crowned yet. That's what we're going to work on," Doctor Fannie Gibson informed her. "At the next contraction, I need you to push. Push with all your might."

~oo0oo~

Almost an hour later, a very tired Kate was lying there holding her baby close. "She's beautiful." For the first time, Kate knew what unconditional love was.

"We need to take the baby and get her cleaned up. And get you cleaned up too. We need to check her over. Make sure everything is how it should be," Doctor Gibson told her. "It won't take long. Then you can have her back for a short time."

~oo0oo~

They moved Kate into a different room, and April was with her. "Where's my baby?" Kate wanted to hold her. She was her baby.

"I'll go ask," April told her and left the room.

A short time later, the nurse came in with her baby and April right behind her. The nurse handed Kate her baby. "She's perfectly healthy. We needed to make sure since she's a hybrid baby. Part human, but she's fine. She has a cock and balls and a pussy just like she's supposed to. Her blood work is a little off the norm, but again it's because she's part human. You can keep her and nurse her. I'll come back and collect her later so you can get some rest."

"Thank you," Kate murmured as she looked down at her baby.

April checked the time. "I have work to do. We need a crib, diapers, and other things back at home. She is a cutie, though." She reached over to stroke her cheek. "I'll be back as soon as I can." April kissed her and left, leaving Kate alone with their newborn daughter.

"Hello, sweetheart. Did you know your name is Lily? Lily Johanna Beckett. I named you after my mother, and I love you." Kate kissed her bald head. She started crying, so Kate lowered her hospital gown, exposing her breast, and guiding Lily's head to her nipple. She latched on and began to suck. It was an odd sensation. There was pressure on her nipple which was nothing like when April suckled at her breast. That was different. There was nothing sexual about this.

When she finished, Kate raised her to her shoulder and patted her back to get her to burp. Satisfied with the burp, Kate brought her back to her chest, holding her daughter and looking at her. Then she checked her over from her head to her toes. Sure enough, she had a cock and balls and a pussy, just like April.

"So, where am I in all this?" Kate asked her, but all Lily did was give her a tiny baby smile.

~oo0oo~

A nurse had taken the baby back to the nursery, and Kate was asleep when April returned. So she just sat there and waited. April had two days off, so it worked out perfectly. She needed to go back to work the day after tomorrow.

~oo0oo~

"Here's home," April announced to both of them and opened the door.

Kate walked inside and saw the crib but passed it by to sit down with her baby. April chose to sit next to her and stroke Lily's cheek. "She's so sweet."

"Yes, she is." Kate wrinkled her nose. "…Oops, time for a diaper change," she announced.

"I'm ready for you." April got up, then handed Kate a changing pad, just in case, a new diaper, a moist towelette, lotion, and baby powder.

Kate set everything but the changing pad aside, laying Lily on it after putting it on the sofa. Then she got busy and removed the wet diaper. "Here." She held up the used diaper for April, who took it with two fingers and threw it away in its own trash can. A sealed trash can, no less.

Then she watched Kate get their daughter ready for a new diaper. "There, all done. Now that wasn't so bad, was it," Kate cooed at Lily. April sat down again and reached over to touch her.

"OH, I have news." April got up and retrieved a pad, and showed it to Kate. "This is the official website for the Sheriff's Office on the Moon that I told you about. They're accepting applications for a deputy sheriff."

"Already? But I only just got home with Lily."

"I know, Kate. But you need to get your name into the pool if you want a shot at it. The selection takes place a month from now. Since you came in second in your class, I think you have an excellent chance of getting it.

"You'll need to do an interview, of course. By then, you'll be pumping, so I'll feed Lily while they're interviewing you. It'll take at least a month to transfer you to the Moon. Another month before you start work, so that's three months from now. You should be up to full strength back by then," April told her.

Kate sighed. "If I must. Where do I sign?" she asked, and signed up for the first part of the process right on the pad.

Kate was still in pain from delivering Lily. She was incredibly sore, more than she thought possible. There was no sex between them save for Kate sucking on April's cock and licking her pussy.

~oo0oo~

April was busy feeding Lily when Kate walked in and sat next to them. "And?" She'd had an interview with the Sheriff's Office.

"I don't know yet. Someone is supposed to call and let me know." Kate leaned over and stroked Lily's cheek while she took her bottle.

April began to press her for information. "But how did the interview go? What do you think?"

"I think it went pretty well. I answered every question. I said that I was human and that you and I are mated. Which we still need to make official, by the way," Kate reminded her.

"I know, I'm working on that. It may have to wait until we're on the Moon, provided you get the job. So tell me how the interview went." Kate had stopped at the part where she told them she was human.

"They quizzed me about my knowledge of your laws. I believe I got it all right. They put me through a light physical. It was nothing I couldn't handle. I told them about my time as a homicide detective and what that was on my planet.

"That seemed to impress them. I think I got the job, but I don't know yet. I got to see my competition. One of them was from my class." Kate shrugged. "We didn't talk."

"You've got him beat hands down," April said enthusiastically. "It sounds like it went well. And you've finished your bottle," April told her as she held Lily against her shoulder and patted her back until she got a burp and a little throw-up, but she was ready.

Then she put her back down on her lap and played with her. As did Kate.

"It's amazing how much my world revolves around Lily now," Kate commented.

April included herself in that. "Both of our lives."

They made love to each other that night. It was the first time since Lily was born, and Kate and April loved every minute. It included having Kate clean her cock with her tongue after it was in her ass. But she didn't mind. It was like old times.

Then they made love again in the morning before April went to work, leaving Kate alone with Lily. Kate was happy. She was making love with April again. She had worried that she would never want to again.

~oo0oo~

April came home to find Kate beaming, and she met her at the door with a kiss. "Not that I'm complaining, but what was that for?"

"They offered me the job today," Kate told her and kissed her again. But hearing Lily start crying interrupted them. Kate changed her diaper and put her at her breast, where she began to suckle immediately. April sat down next to her.

"What did they say." April wanted to know everything.

"They thought I was perfect for the job. It seems my time as a homicide detective was the deciding factor. Imagine that! My old job got me a new one. Oh, and we have a month until we have to be on the Moon. Then we find a place to live, and I start work about a month later." Kate waited to see what April would say about it.

"It sounds like we're moving!" April kissed her while Lily looked up at her mother and kept sucking. She didn't quite understand the dynamic between these two. She would suckle at her mother's breast sometimes or be given a bottle by the other one occasionally. It didn't really matter since, in the end, Lily was full and happy.
