43: Saturday July 18, 2110 hours CST: Khushi's Pregnancy Celebration
"Khushi's pregnant," Zach announced. Colby whooped for joy and danced on the bed. She was followed closely by Anming, who grabbed her and jumped up and down with her. He called Khushi, and she answered. "We need to celebrate," he said.
"Really?" asked Khushi.
"You hear those women jumping up and down and screaming in the background? We need to celebrate."
"Okay, where?" asked Khushi.
"Let's meet in Control A," proposed Zach. "I'll call Alexis. She can use the PA to alert everyone."
"Good," agreed Khushi.
Zach hung up, called Alexis, and said, "Khushi's pregnant."
"Holy shit fuck! You knocked her up, stud!" Alexis crowed.
"Can you use the PA system to ask everyone to gather in Control A for a celebration?" asked Zach.
Zach, Anming, and Colby arrived at the party in Control A to find it in full swing. Emotions were extremely high. Some post-metal rhapsody was playing on the speakers. Alexis was there wearing her tight black knit skirt and jiggling with the music. He saw that Charisse was there, glowing, dancing hypnotically, fresh from the hydroponics gardens and smudged endearingly with dirt. She was wearing short thin tight tan cotton pants that showed a nice camel toe. Her halter-top showed off her yummy nips. God, how he loved everything about her. Colette was there dancing with Charisse, managing to look regal in a hastily donned knit dress.
Colleen was at the center of it, pouring sparkling cider and passing out marijuana wafers for all takers. She was wearing nothing but a white bathrobe and deck slippers. Apparently she had been poised to come join them in Zach's quarters. He exchanged a smile and a knowing look with her as he moved towards her to greet her. She gave him a glass of sparkling cider and popped a marijuana wafer into his mouth like a communion wafer. She looked happy and horny; she leaned in and gave him a one-armed hug and a tongue kiss to go with the wafer. He responded hungrily, still missing her from before. They sucked on the wafer and each other for a while. In public, he should be deferential to Colleen always. He felt blessed that she wanted to descend from her high status with the crew to give him this lusty kiss in front of everyone. Colby and Anming came over with him, and the three women hugged each other tightly.
Ayana and Khushi were there arm in arm. Khushi was the radiant Goddess holding court. She was wearing a t-shirt and panties. Her luscious knockers were hypnotic as she smiled and swayed to the music. Zach could see her dark nipples through the light t-shirt. She was sporting a nice wet camel toe. How Zach loved just plain old white panties! Ayana was happier than he had seen her in a long while. To be sure he'd recently caught her only at her worst. This was the woman he'd fallen so hard for at first sight. She was beaming, simply beaming with radiant joy and excitement. She was clearly already high on marijuana wafers. He loved how her almond-shaped eyes squinched up even further when she beamed like this. It was too damn cute. She was wearing a black t-shirt and tight white cotton panties, matching Khushi but for the t-shirt color. She had a nice camel toe and wet spot too, God damn it. He was getting hard now. He went up and hugged them both. They laughed and rubbed against his hardening dick, Ayana too. They wanted to tease him like crazy.
Some sparkling cider spilled a bit from their glasses, but none of them cared. Seeing Ayana smiling like this in his arms and rubbing against him in excitement got to him. It was not for him, he knew. It was tearing a certain way at Zach's heart. Khushi breathed in his ear. He turned his head to address her and she kissed him fiercely, thrusting in her tongue. He kissed Khushi back with all the lust and love he kept burning for her in his heart. He hoped that Ayana would not be knocked out of her good mood by their theoretically off-limits snogging. A lot of cider spilled then as they tongue wrestled and also held Ayana fiercely to them. He turned again, and saw Ayana was still smiling at both of them and giggling even, so joyous. Zach couldn't help himself. He leaned in and kissed Ayana with all the passion he'd ever felt for her, completely going for it.
Ayana spat out his tongue with a guffaw as if tickled, and fell to the floor on her ass. Zach and Khushi picked her right back up. Khushi gave him a look, as if to say "what the hell, man?" The recovered Ayana, still giggling and cheerful, gave Khushi a peck. She pushed off from both of them and started dancing. She didn't appear to be upset at him for the advance. Khushi looked into his eyes and said, "Thank you again, Zach." She pushed off from him and started dancing with Ayana. Ugh, he was such an idiot getting carried away like that!
Berte had arrived, also wearing just a white bathrobe and slippers. She was keeping to a quiet corner, but had a glass of cider and a marijuana wafer from Colleen. Zach walked over to her. "Colleen and I congratulated each other," Berte told him. "I think it was for getting to sleep with you now."
"I'm flattered," said Zach. "I'm grateful to have all four of you with me. Let me go socialize with a couple more people, then let's walk together back to my place. It will be good for the two of us to relax and get settled in there before the others arrive." He was most concerned about how Berte would handle this first night. He was pretty sure they all were. He wanted to do all he could to make it a success. "And have another marijuana wafer, please, or two or three."
