Chapter 17: Paternal BSOD
“Hal, I think I broke Nick”
Kate poked Nick in the nose to very little reaction. In the couple minutes since she had told her lover of her pregnancy he had mostly locked up and was staring at Kate’s midsection in some level of disbelief.
“Well, if his brain has locked up I can come pry you apart if need be. Perhaps apply a firm slap? That’s the sort of thing that resets biologicals, right?”
“Well I’d prefer not to slap him if I can avoid it” Kate wiggled a bit as Nick continued to stare at her belly and gently pet her, “I like the belly rubs, Nick, but do talk to me. You freaking out is eventually going to make me freak out too you know”
“Deploying slapping drone” Hal announced.
“Let me try this first” Kate said grabbing Nick by the ears and pulling him forward into her bare bosom. She then pressed her tits together around his muzzle, “He’ll have to snap out of it to come up for air eventually.”
Sure enough about ten seconds later Nick started to squirm and extricated himself from his boobie prison, “K-kate… Oh my.. I’m.. we…”
“He’s remembered how to form basic sounds” Hal said with a congratulatory tone.
“Nick. You back baby?”
“Ya…” Nick nodded, “Sorry, I just… Holy crap I’m going to be a father.”
“You are yes” Kate smiled.
“To a half alien baby.”
“I suppose technically”
“Out of Wedlock!”
Kate raised an eyebrow, “That bit outranks the alien bit on the weirdness scale?”
“The what?” Nick looked perplexed.
“I mean, uh.” Kate sighed, “Look we don’t need to worry so much about ‘marriage’ or anything like that do we? At least not yet”
“Of course, we do!” Nick exclaimed, “If you are going to be the mother of my child then I’m going to be by your side from now on….”
“Nick” Kate said in a vain attempt to get his attention again.
“I’m going to take care of you and the child from here on out and the best way to show that is to Make you my wife….”
Hal’s speakers emitted a low rumble in an imitation of an annoyed growl. Nick however went right on talking.
“And once you’re my wife we’ll get a nice house with a yard and plenty of room to raise the kids….”
“Nick you switched from not talking to too much talking” Kate sighed “Wait ‘kids’?”
“Any child should have a brother or sister to grow up with of course, a friend and family their own age to AHHH!”
Nick’s yelp of pain was briefly preceded by a shark mechanical ‘thwap’ noise originating from behind Nick somewhere, followed by Hal’s announcement of “Slapping drone successful”.
Hal had evidently decided to target his drone at Nick’s rear rather than his face. Likely due to how close his face was to Kate’s at the time. Though the slapping drone, turned spanking drone, caused Nick to lurch forward hard and suddenly quickly reminding Kate that he had never actually pulled out after her confession of the pregnancy.
Kate let out a gasp and then bit her lip at the sudden re-intrusion and Nick like wise shuddered and then blushed. At least he calmed down slightly though. “Ah. R-right.. Kate we should.. probably dress then we can talk.”
“That may be for the best, Nick” Kate replied relived that he was calming down
The pair extricated themselves from each and Nick tossed a pillow at the small cleaning droid with the spatula haphazardly ducked tapped to one if its arms in recompense for its earlier actions. Kate couldn’t help but chuckle at Hal’s low effort attempt to make a slapping / spanking droid, and she could have sworn she saw the security camera shrug in response.
Once the pair were more decent, they sank down in the couch in front of the TV. Both fidgeted a bit till Kate broke the ice.
“So at least I know the idea of having kids isn’t making you want to run away.”
Nick nodded, “it would be a pretty low act to abandon the mother of one’s child. Not to mention that... you... well… you just might be the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met, freaky alien or otherwise, So I’m not going anywhere.”
Kate chuckled, “Well if we leave the planet I’ll no longer be the ‘freaky alien’ of the group”
“True, I suppose. Though Kate” Nick paused, “I’m not sure how it is with your people, but for mine it… it really is highly encouraged that…”
“That we get married?”
Nick nodded.
“We also need to finish fixing the ship, and well I can’t very well marry anyone without them meeting my parents first.”
“Step one, Fix ship, Step 2, Meet parents”
“And somewhere in there is figure out how this will work with Hal”
“Hal” Nick looked confused, “The ghost person that lives in your ship? Isn’t he sort of like your butler?”
“More than that” Hal said flatly, and with a click the television turned on showing an animation of Hal’s sergal VR avatar. Tall and muscular and glaring out of the TV with a stern judgmental look on his face.
Nick took a moment for the gears to start to slide into place. “Kate…?”
“Yes Nick?”
“Am… uh... Am I competing with a ghost for your affections?”
Kate tried not to laugh. Hal being referred to as a ‘ghost’ was a bit funny, but to Nicks perspective she didn’t blame the comparison. Once the urge passed she reached out a hand and patted Nick’s shoulder. “I was hoping there wouldn’t need to be a ‘competition’ at all. Hal is… basically yes Hal is another suitor interested in me, but he doesn’t like... have a physical body like you, unless you consider the ship to be his body.”
“How is that… I mean how do you even…. You know?” Nick asked.
Hal answered this time, “We can discuss the ‘mechanics’ of our relationship later, for know just know that she’s MY female too. I can’t legally marry her, I can’t father children, and I don’t blame her for wanting a, for lack of an easier word, ‘Living’ partner like you. So, I won’t do anything to mess up your relationship, but I’m also not going anywhere, got it?”
“I’m having a child with a hot blue alien woman who is also dating the ghost haunting her own ship…” Nick shrugged, “Well I’ve clearly gone insane, but let’s see about finishing up the repairs, shall we.”
Kate nodded and they got back to it.
