Cherry - S01 E53

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 53

I laughed and teased, "Are you sure it's mine? I mean, maybe..." She joked back, "I'm almost certain it's yours. Sure: it could be the stock boy's from the cereal aisle, but that was just the one time." I was laughing out loud now and asked, "What about the mailman?"

Cherry said, "Oh. I didn't know you knew about him..." Giving her the last punch line, I said, "Come on, let's go back to bed."

We crawled back in bed and she snuggled up to me as always. Before falling asleep we told each other how much we loved one another and how happy we were. I fell asleep literally with a smile on my face.

The next morning, Cherry was sick again-I guessed that is why it is called 'morning sickness'. She was trying to be quiet, but I heard her anyway and got up to try and comfort her again.

She puked, spit, and said, "Yep: am SO knocked up!" Continuing the joke from before, I said, "What are we going to tell our parents?"

Cherry threw up again and said, "I don't care what they say: I'm keeping it." I said, "And you will have my support, too."

Finished joking around, Cherry said she wanted to wait until she was at least a month along before telling anyone. I understood and agreed. It was difficult to keep the news under wraps; it was just so exciting. But kept my word. When Olivia said she would be in town before Cherry reached her one month point, I thought she'd cave for sure. To my surprise, she didn't.

I came home from work one night and I could tell from her car in the parking lot, Cherry was already home. I walked through the door and saw Cherry was in the kitchen, Olivia was sitting at the table. I told her it was nice to see her again and she stood to give me a friendly hug. I made a little bit of small talk by asking how was the drive, if she remembered how to find the apartment, etc...

Olivia said, "The drive wasn't bad since we shared the driving; had no trouble finding your place again."

I said, "Oh, you both came? Where?"

She cut me off by answering simply, "Bathroom..." I said, "Oh; right. We were surprised to hear you got married-

Congratulations!"

Olivia smiled and said, "Thanks! Yeah, we met in college, hit it off right away and next thing you know, we were married!" I said, "Well, that is awesome; I'm happy for you."

I could hear someone coming down the hall and couldn't wait to meet the guy that not only managed to convert a lesbian straight, but also married her. As I was turning around to meet him, Olivia made the introduction.

Olivia said, "David, this is the Love of my life: my wife, Amanda."

For the briefest of moments I was dumbfounded and speechless. I should have known better, and yet I was still surprised. I was so used to the concept of marriage being just between a man and a woman that, as soon as the word 'married' was used, I assumed Olivia had married a man. I'd soon learn that they quickly took advantage of the state's new laws allowing same sex marriage. And that was part of the reason why they didn't tell anyone beforehand; they didn't want to wait and possibly miss their chance if the law was suddenly turned over. But before I learned about all of that, I quickly recovered from my moment of stupor.

I said, "Hello, Amanda. It's nice to finally meet you." Amanda said, "It's nice to meet you, too. Olivia told me about you helping her. can't thank you enough!"

I said, "No, it wasn't that big of a deal-she did the hard part, I was just a muse at best."

We all sat around the kitchen table and talked for hours. Olivia and Amanda shared their story about how they met and fell in love. It was plain to see that they truly were in love: it was all over their faces. And, it was really nice to see Olivia so happy. What's more, Amanda was not hard on the eyes! She was a blonde hair, blue eyed girl with a nice body. She was about two inches taller than Olivia and her breasts were larger as well (still not as nice as my Cherry's, though).

We continued talking and the question came up about the economy and job market where they lived. They said it had been terrible and they were getting ready to move back to our area. Cherry and I remarked how nice that would be-we could get to spend more time together. Amanda asked if we were planning on having any children and Cherry handled it masterfully by saying we were making plans...eventually. Amanda said that they wanted to have a baby, too, and that surprised me at least-Cherry seemed less than surprised, strangely.

Olivia said, "Obviously we'll need some help in that department when the time comes. We are trying to figure out...some details."

I said, "Yeah, guess that could be a bit complicated. I guess you are looking at going to a bank'?"

Amanda's face cringed slightly and she said, "Well, we haven't

really figured that part out yet either."
