Gothic Desires

“My gods..My godssss..” Marilyn paced. “My daughter is a SLUT. A ..a..and..her friend..Stephanie..”

“Ma’am.” Andrew growled low. “If you SAY that about My Fiacee or Stephanie Again, I will personally drag you to the Museum, Put you in an ancient Catapult and LAUNCH you out of My country on your ear!”

Surprised looks from everyone. Marilyn gasped and say down quickly. Andrew’s father felt like applauding his son but now wasn’t the time. Andrew’s mother silent and listening. The two girls beside Andrew.

“Okay so..what are we looking at here, son?”

“We are looking at a mature, modern relationship. I care for both of them. I love Starfyre more than the world. And Stephanie..she’s my doll. Look..yes, we are involved together but it’s OUR choice. That’s how it is and if I must..rather than force Stephanie into a double marriage like she doesn’t want, I will leave. For as Long as I have Starfyre and Stephanie, I can cope.”

“No, son.”

“Sir.” Starfyre spoke up. “Stephanie and I have been involved sexually since we were about thirteen. We love each other..and in our defense..we are both nineteen now so..it is our choice if we..want to be involved with Andrew together. She doesn’t want to marry him, no. But..who sais she has to? She can just be with us..for as long as she wants..I know I’ll always be with her..with or without Andrew. So..yeah..We both love him..just in different ways.”

“That’s right sir.” Stephanie nodded. “I don’t see..where sex has to be tied to love..but..I do think it should be tied to like. I am not a slut. Nor is Starfyre. We are bot very..picky and..in truth, she lost her virginity to Andrew. She just lost her ..Oral virginity tome. As inappropriate as it seems to speak like this, I must. It’s the truth. We both choose to be with him.”

“And WHAT if you get pregnant by him?” Andrew’s mother asked.

“Not me..Birth control. I have to take it for..other reasons.” Stephanie smiled. “But Starfyre might be. I hope she is..”

Sighing, rubbing her stomach. “Which is why..I was hesitant to plan the wedding so soon. I don’t want to walk down the aisle..large..” Starfyre glanced up. “I really don’t.”

“Very well..This is..your choice..as you say..and No..I won’t have my son leaving. He will be a king and You, Starfyre, will be his queen. Now..as far as the possible pregnancy..we can have that tested so we can know for sure.” The king always understanding. He smiled at her. “I’ll be very happy if you are.”

“I..”Marilyn stood. “Pregnant before marriage?”

“Mother. Don’t...Andrew WILL do what he said..He has never lied. Think about that one. It might hurt to be catapulted out of the country.”

“I must get some air. Please excuse me.”

Said as Marilyn made a quick exit out of the room. Andrew nodded and hugged Starfyre.

“You’re right..I would have done it.”

“Soooo...Starfyre is only a few weeks along if she is..and I think a regular pregnancy test needs to be at least six weeks..” Stephanie grinned. “So have to wait.”

“Blood test.” Andrew’s mother spoke. “A blood test would show..if she is at least pregnant by a week. We don’t advertise that our technology is great..but we have good labs and technologies here. Plus there is the reliable Rabbit test. Old fashioned but it works.”

“Rabbit Test?” Both girls asked.

“Uh..what mother means is..your..urine..is injected into a rabbit and..if the rabbit dies, usually in about twenty-four hours, than yes, you are. A woman need only be days along and that works.” Andrew explained.

“NO.” Both girls answered again.

“That’s cruel.” Stephanie continued. “A blood test will work for her.”

“I think you should both be tested..just in case.” The king suggested.

“I’m not pregnant.” Steph chuckled. “But if you insist, I will.”

“We do Insist.” The queen nodded.

“I will take them to the labs my self. They are my girls and I am the reason they are being tested.” Andrew held his hands to them. “My ladies.”

“Thank you sir.” Starfyre took his hand and smiled. “Wait..” Pausing. “I hate needles..”

“Shush.” Stephanie stood and took his other hand. “So I suppose..we’re off to get blood drawn?”

“Yes.” Andrew nodded. “And father..one other thing.”

“Yes son?”

“I want that woman out of my country..BEFORE we get back.”

“Very well, son.” His father nodding.

“Dear..I..She’s..the girl’s mother.”

Watching his son walk away with the two women. The king just nodded. “I know but he is our son, and she has insulted his Fiancee and his..lover.”

“But..”

“No.” He said as he headed off. “I must make flight arrangements before Andrew makes them at the Museum.”

“He wouldn’t REALLY do that.” Following her husband. “He just used it as a threat..a scary threat..”

“He wouldn’t? That woman, as I said, Insulted two people he cares about deeply. Of course he would do it. As Starfyre said, He has never lied.”

“Oh dear..”

“Will you be so kind as to go and..tell our guest that she must pack and..be ready to leave ..in ten minutes, My love?”

“Of course, my love.” she paused. “Husband?”

“Hm?”

“Are you really okay with this? What if BOTH are pregnant?”

“Then we have Two grandchildren coming.” He smiled at her. “A blessing..is it not?”

“I see. I shall go and tell Miss Renwal that she has a plane to catch.”

“I do love you..My wife.”

“And I you, My king..my husband.”

Both going their separate ways. They had their duties to perform and their first was to their son. That meant booting this woman from the country before he did.

*************************
The Lab

“Ow, ow..owww..” Sniffling. That hurt.” Starfyre rubbed her arm as she came out of the room. “That really hurt.”

“Aww..poor baby.” Stephanie hugged her and handed her a sucker. “Here you go..for the brave mommy.”

“Where is Andrew?” Taking the sucker and gasping. “Ouch!” She really hated needles. She bruised so easily. “It’s bruising.”

“He’s in the bathroom. Relax.”

“Stephanie..what if you’re pregnant too?”

“I’m not pregnant. I take birth control.”

“It’s not a hundred percent. I don’t want you to..have your dreams of kidnaping and Marrying Angel taken away.”

“They won’t be. Even IF I am pregnant, which I’m not, Well..that just gives him a lil one to cuddle on while I kidnap him and convince him to marry me. That’s all.”

“You’re so impossible.” Smiling, laying against her chest since Stephanie was taller. “But I love you.”

“And I love you. You’re my girl..” Holding her. “And so be it if we are pregnant together. Don’t worry about a thing. Andrew might turn old before his time..two pregnant women? Yeah..That would be something.”

“Me, old?” Andrew shook his head and joined in on the hug. “Never. I would lavish both of you in massages and foot rubs. I would run your tummies but I would never be old.”

“You’re impossible too.” Starfyre chuckled. “But I love you anyways.”

“I LOVE hearing that word from you..about me.” He kissed both of them. “Mmm..Now what did you think of the little electric car?”

“Completely environmentally safe.” Stephanie grinned. “Why didn’t you say you hadone at the palace before?”

“Because we..still like the use of horses and carts. The car is only for..emergencies..and the qualified..as the lab would be too far of a ride for a coach.”

“Excuse me.” A woman stepped out. “I have the one blood test ready..top priority as you ordered, sire.”

“For who?” Andrew asked.

“Lets see..Miss Stephanie ...She took hers ten minutes ago. Technically the results only need five minutes..but ten minutes..to be sure before we take them out of the machine.” The woman smiled still. “The second for Miss Starfyre is being prepped right now.”

“Wow..They always told us it took a week to do that at home.” Stephanie blinked. “Those liars.”

“Her test was positive for HCG hormones sire. She’s probably just pregnant..maybe by a day..judging by the levels. Our tests are very accurate. We’ve developed better technology for the tests versus the normal blood tests. Anyways.” The woman turned. “I shall get back to the second one immediately.”

Silence. Stephanie gasped and her jaw fell open. She’d only been sleeping with him for two days..she wasn’t a week along! HOW was that possible? Plus she was on her birth control! Starfyre shook her head and patted Stephanie’s shoulder.

“Not always a hundred percent..” She whispered. “You Okay Steph?”

“Oh..Ohh..” Stephanie glanced at her stomach. “P..pregnant? But Miss! I was on birth control..How?”

“As Miss Starfyre said..It’s not always a hundred percent. You probably caught it in that seven day wait between the regular pills and the placebo pills. Your body is just super adjusted to them so..you probably needed a stronger kind.” The woman answered. “But please..I must do the other test.”

Walking off, the door closing. Andrew sighed and hugged them both again. Starfyre was afraid that Stephanie was gonna get angry.

“I’m Sorry, Stephanie..I should have..used more precaution..”

“No..No Andrew..I wanted it as much as you both did. I’ll just..be a mom when I Kidnap Angel and Marry him, That’s all.”

“So you’re not mad?” starfyre asked.

“No way..I’ll have a cute baby and you will. We always said we’d do EVERYTHING together. Why not this? Besides..I like being pampered in a palace by our cute little Andrew.”

“A father..me..” Andrew took a deep breath and paled slightly. “An actual father..”

“Easy big boy.” Stephanie held him up some. “No feinting.”

“Whoa..” Helping Stephanie. “Come on Andrew..come sit down over here.”

“A father..” He smiled at them as he sat. “Me..Andrew Vandrake..”

“Yes silly.” Brushing her hand over his cheek. “I suppose if I had to be pregnant by anyone..aside from Angel..You’re a good second.”

“I would like to point out that kidnaping is illegal.” Starfyre nodded. “So..uh..Maybe kidnaping and making him marry you would be double illegal.”

“Oh..when he sees me when I first take the blindfold off..he is gonna have his socks knocked off and he will marry me willingly. Mmhmm..yep. And then he’ll be a good step dad to my baby.”

“You’re silly.” Her friend laughing.

“Ma’am?” The woman came back out way sooner than ten. “Positive for HCG..at least two to three weeks by the levels. It went much quicker as it was much more established.”

“Ohh..” Starfyre’s jaw dropped and she sat beside Andrew. “Me? I..”

“Too cool.” Stephanie laughed. “Now we get to tell the king and queen.”

“Oh boy.” Andrew grunted. “A dad..Twice in one day. This calls for celebration.” He stood. “We are having a celebration party for you both. Come..we have GOOD news to deliver, Doctors appointments to make and..a party to plan.”

Pulling them off excitedly. Both girls ackd at the suddenness. The lab tech gasped and then giggled. He was the father of both? Their prince wasn’t one of those typical boring royals it seemed.
