Chapter 118: ONE DAY!-1

One Day

My body was asleep, laying on it’s back in the Real World. Shaniqua was awake, laying beside it, Idly playing with a puddle on my belly.

We had ‘mentored’ the Brown family through their transition in the Sky House then sadly bade them goodbye. They could have stayed much longer, as long as they liked as far as Shaniqua and I were concerned, but they wouldn’t have it. They insisted that we had done more than enough.

One day they all rode down the escalator to the old quonset hut. They wouldn’t reopen for business just yet. They had some thinking to do about that and more. How would they use their new abilities?

Shaniqua got VERY cuddly-huggy-luvy after they had gone. She’d been rather reluctant to become physically intimate with me while they were under her roof. When they left all bets were off. She all but attacked me.

We cuddled to start with. Then we became more and more intimate. Foreplay actually, but we didn’t ‘consummate’ our soon to be marriage in the Real World, we did that in VR. With direct neural interface who could tell the difference? A difference that makes no difference IS no difference.

Mostly.

I had a fantastic time. Shaniqua was a better lover than I could have ever imagined in my wildest dreams. Then I went to sleep.

Shaniqua didn’t. She played with the puddle. We may have had made love in VR but my body couldn’t tell the difference. The puddle was sticky.

“I’ve been thinking” Shaniqua said to Jenny. Jenny quite naturally, had joined in the fun. Since I was asleep they were having ‘girl talk.”

“Since I was raped I haven’t had a period.” Shaniqua said to Jenny” Do you think?”

“Definitely not.” Jenny replied "banish that thought from your mind. The nano that he forced down your throat did many things, among which was to deactivate their sperm.”

“Oh good” Shaniqua said "I’m personally VERY opposed to abortion, but neither could I bear the thought of giving birth to a child fathered by those monsters.”

She was silent for a moment. "But what about the cessation of my menstrual cycle. Have I gone thru menopause?”

“In a sense” Jenny said. "Your reproductive cycle is ‘on pause’ but not from men. Just from pregnancy, until you want to. Consider this. When a female is conceived the fetus has all the eggs that the adult woman will ever have, about seven million. Prior to birth that number dwindles to about two million. About eleven thousand of them die a natural death every month prior to puberty. That only leaves about...”

“I can do the math..now” Shaniqua said. 2 million minus eleven thousand a month for 13 years, which was about when I entered puberty, would be 143 thousand. Subtract that from two million still leaves a lot. "

"That’s not the complete story” Jenny said " Each time you ovulate fifteen to twenty of them are released. Most of the time only one survives to encounter the MILLIONS of sperm release by the male, EACH TIME he ejaculates. He produces fifteen thousand new sperm cells every second for his entire life after puberty. There are and effective endless supply of those little wigglers.”

“That doesn’t seem fair.” Shaniqua looked at the liquid on her finger, then tasted it.

” rather salty " she said.

“it’s an acquired taste.” Jenny replied. "one of the OLDEST forms of birth control. Life is not fair. Mother Nature unchained is a bloody bitch. Red of tooth and claw.”

“Still.... that leaves one million nine hundred and eighty six thousand eggs.” Shaniqua said. "in round numbers of course.”

“Waste not, want not” Jenny replied "would you rather bleed every month, and have cramps?”

“No...I cramp pretty bad.” Shaniqua said.” I usually stay in bed during that time. It’s also rather messy, and I’m a real BITCH during that time. I even hate myself.”

“You can restart the system any time.” Jenny said ”what’s not to like.”

“Oh look” Shaniqua giggled. "The little man is waking up. Dale must be dreaming. It looks like he’s having a good time. Would you know anything about that?”

“Certainly” Jenny said "You two can’t hide anything from me. Not your dreams or your thoughts. I reside in the same brain that you do...effectively.”

“Have you ever....” Shaniqua probed.

“Just call me Rosy Palm” Jenny said. "He doesn’t really need me for that. He didn’t even at his advanced age before the change. But I make it infinitely better.”

“So I thought.” Shaniqua said "which brings to mind another thought.”

“You’re wondering what it would be like with a female as a couple, rather that part of a threesome?” Jenny said.

“Well...yeah.” Shaniqua replied.

“Why don’t we find out?” Jenny said.

It was fine.
