“Morning, sunshine,” Sca said as she walked into the kitchen. He was bent over Ruby’s little glowing form feeding her eggs. Sca was amazed at how much she changed and grew every day. He knew she was his. Despite the fact she glowed like him, it would be hard to make a case she could be Baston’s based on her appearance alone. She was grinning and bouncing as he fed her. He saw Abigail watching them closely and smiling.

“Morning, what’s for breakfast?” she asked.

He winked at her, knowing why she was so hungry and delighted in the redness that worked its way into her cheeks. She was a gorgeous woman, and now that he’d had her he just wanted her again.

“Eggs, bacon, omelets, pancakes, waffles, and fruit,” Baston said. “I hope you worked up an appetite.”

He slapped her hard on the butt and handed her a plate. Sca noticed Abigail was at ease with them. She didn’t seem as tense as she had before. She piled her plate high and went to sit next to Halo, who was playing with his fruit arranging it into different patterns on his plate.

“Grapes are my favorite,” she said to him and popped one in her mouth. He grinned and popped one in his mouth, grinning as he chewed.

After she finished breakfast, Sca called her over to him. He kissed her on the top of the head and rubbed her back.

“I can’t believe that worked. I consider it a small victory since the only children I’d been around on Earth was my mother’s best friend’s little girl, and that was in very short bursts.”

“You’re good with him,” Sca smiled at her.

“Thanks.”

She beamed back at him and he couldn’t resist kissing her.

“Come outside with us,” he said, “we want to show you the farm.”

Sca was proud of everything they’d been able to build for their family. He wanted to show Abigail, so she’d love it too. He hoped she was warming to the idea of staying with them. Besides the fact there was no way for her to go home anytime soon, he needed her to want to stay with him.

He watched her walk out in front of them, admiring her curves. He found himself wanting to have her alone and just share a moment between the two of them. He realized it would be against the rules with Cherie, she wouldn’t like it. He had never had the desire to be with another woman before. He could tell this time was different.

Abigail

Abigail followed Baston out the back of the house and saw a large lush backyard with a huge greenhouse and what looked like a miniature version of the house.

“The chickens are in there. We’ve figured out how to grow food on the land, which wasn’t easy at first because we didn’t understand how to use the soil. We can have vegetables, eggs, and chicken. It’s actually pretty healthy living.”

“This is fantastic.  How long have you been here?”

“Four years, give or take,” Sca said.

Abigail saw a large metal box to the side of the barn; it had several buttons on the side and what looked like a door. She moved towards it and walked along its side. The metal was warm to the touch as she ran her hand along it.

“What is this?”

“This is my pride and joy,” Baston said patting the metal box on the side. “It’s the ship we use to travel off the planet.”

Abigail was taken aback. “You can leave?”

“She’s only been up once. I can’t trust her to go on back-to-back journeys.”

“What do you do when you go off?”

“We went once. I took them to a nearby planet. The navigation in that ship is rusty as hell, but it works for ships close by. It’s really old and I was able to update a few things on it while we were there, get the kids some toys, and Cherie some clothes and cleaning supplies. She didn’t ask for much.”

He smiled when he talked about his wife, and Abigail could see the love in his eyes. She now knew there was a way off the planet, so her mind had shifted to maybe seeing Earth again.

“Is there a chance the ship might make it to Earth?” Abigail couldn’t help asking.

“You ready to leave us already?” Sca asked. He tried to sound like he was joking but he caught a bit of hurt in his voice.

“No, just curious.” Abigail didn’t want to sound eager to leave, but everything she knew was back on Earth, home with her family and friends. They had to be worried about her. She had been in denial hoping there was some sort of time difference where when she returned to Earth it would be the same time she’d been taken. She was going off of movies and television shows, though. In her mind she knew it wasn’t plausible.

“It will be a long time before it can go that far. Next trip we’ll try to get to a planet further out though. My plan is to keep going further and further and see where we end up.”

“That’s really great,” Abigail tried to sound chipper, so he didn’t notice her disappointment.

“Why don’t you go back in and see if Cherie needs a hand. We’ll tend to the chickens.” Sca gave her a big smile.

She went in and found Cherie cleaning up after breakfast. Ruby was in some kind of playpen and Halo was playing with some toy in front of it. They were really good at keeping themselves occupied. She poured herself some coffee and sat down at the table to watch Cherie clean.

“So, tell me. How was it?” Cherie asked smiling as she pulled Ruby’s shirt off and wiped her torso with a warm wash cloth.

“Breakfast was delicious, thank you.”

“No honey, I mean last night with my men. How was it?”

Abigail felt her cheeks burning and didn’t know what to say. Her hands went to her cheeks trying to hide her embarrassment. The feeling of their hands on her came back to her, and for a minute she couldn’t say anything.

“It was fine,” Abigail said. There was no way that was close to the answer Cherie was expecting from her, but she just winked and went back to wiping the counters down.

Cherie moved up to her after she finished cleaning and pushed the hair from her face. She reached out and touched her breast which instantly hardened beneath the flick of her fingernail. She put the other hand on Abigail’s ass and moved in for a kiss. Her pregnant belly was firm and pressed into Abigail’s flat one as she pushed into her.

Abigail was taken off guard but didn’t pull away from her. She allowed her lips to be massaged with Cherie’s tongue before parting for her and allowing her to explore the inside of her mouth. She felt heat pool in her abdomen and a familiar throbbing between her legs. Cherie deepened the kiss and pushed her up against the counter. Her soft body pressed against Abigail and she let out a moan.

Cherie’s hand went down to Abigail’s stomach and underneath her shirt. It was warm and crept slowly up to her breast. She started to stick her tongue back into Cherie’s mouth and explore. She tasted sweet and really good to Abigail. She pressed her body back against Cherie’s as her tongue continued to probe her mouth. She felt Cherie’s hand cover her breast and she squeezed it as she brought her other hand to the back of Abigail’s neck.

“Do you want to come right now?” Cherie said.

“Yes,” Abigail said without even thinking, breathing heavy against her lips.

“Well you can’t because my kids are right there, but now I’m all you’ll be thinking about.”

Cherie smiled and moved away from her and heading to the living room. Abigail followed her stunned, her core still throbbed and her lips felt bruised from the kiss. Cherie was right, she was all Abigail thought about.

“We’ll watch something on the holopad before the boys come back in. I bet you miss sitting and just watching a good show.”

“Go on in there and I’ll bring us some biscuits.”

“You’re still hungry?”

“Oh, that’s right. I forget I’m the only pregnant one here. I’ll bring me some biscuits.” She laughed.
