In the first installment of this story, Nathalie, who I had only known for a week convinces me to make her pregnant. This is the continuation of "Nathalie My Crazy French Girlfriend".
*****
Nathalie's parents had been shocked that she had gotten pregnant out of wedlock to some strange American guy. They had both flown out to size up the situation and me. What they discovered was a guy crazy about their daughter who was quite willing to tie the knot but that their daughter was stubbornly refusing to seal the deal. What's more she wanted the child born in America so it could for sure have American nationality - regardless of the father situation. I was at a loss.
Exasperated the parents returned to France. Next up at bat was Nathalie's older sister, Élise. She was much older in her mid-30s. Closer in age to me. By the time Élise arrived Nathalie was sporting the very start of a small baby bump. The two sisters hugged tightly and I was given the typical air kiss greeting. Élise was pretty much a copy of her sister but with green eyes and a bit more in the way of curves. But by this point in the pregnancy, Nathalie had caught up to Élise with a swelling bust and hips so they could have been twins. Nathalie had moved into my larger more comfortable apartment, so Élise was staying with us in my guest bedroom. While Élise took a shower and changed into something more comfortable, Nathalie whipped up a quick dinner.
Élise had no intention of talking her sister out of anything. She was thrilled to have a niece or nephew on the way. Perhaps a little sad that she wasn't the one bringing new life into the family - she was the oldest of the siblings after all. We all went to bed early - as Nathalie was starting to tire easily since she was getting into the real baby growing stage of pregnancy.
The next morning was the Saturday and we gave Élise a tour of the city. She'd been to the States only once before and was having a blast of a time. Being away from work and her over possessive boyfriend was clearly brightening her mood. That night we went out to a jazz bar and grill and ate heaping plates of gumbo. Stuffed we all crawled into our beds to digest the huge meal like snakes.
Nathalie had tried to explain to Élise why she'd make the decision to get pregnant. She'd shared the book she'd been reading which Élise read cover to cover. I think it was pretty obvious to anyone that met Nathalie that she wasn't the conventional type. Élise in comparison was far more restrained taking after her conservative parents. But Nathalie was working on bringing Élise out of the shadow of her family and her awful boyfriend.
Élise was enjoying herself so much that she decided to stay an extra three weeks. That meant also that her pill prescription ran out - something I overheard when the two sisters were talking and thought my French wasn't good enough to understand. But Élise didn't want to refill with an American substitute not knowing how it would react with her body.
It was about a week later after another night of dancing and drinking that we all collapsed in the den. Of course, Nathalie decided that it was high time we played truth or dare, something she had learned while in college in the States. Élise was game, probably because she had no idea what she was getting herself into. We drew playing cards to see who would start and I lost, so Nathalie gave Élise the honors.
"Truth or Dare?" Élise demanded.
"Truth" I replied.
"Tell us how you lost your virginity, and don't leave out any juicy details" Élise asked.
