Forty-five minutes later, Ethan was laying on his back, buck naked as he was recovering from their latest round that had left him drained and nearly dozing off.
Charlene, who had curled up beside him as they both recovered, whispered in his ear, "Your performance continues to improve, too bad we'll have to put a pause on it in a few weeks." Her hand gestured to her belly, where Ethan knew his formerly jerk of a boss, Jerry was now due in six months. It was then a crazy idea struck Ethan, and he put a pin in it for when he got back out to the computer.
"We've done it before, we can do it again," assured Ethan.
"Just so long as you don't get me knocked up so quickly again. I have a career to nurture as well as a family," said Charlene.
"I promise to wear a rubber from now until menopause," said Ethan.
"You joke... but at least during my fertile periods, it wouldn't be a bad idea," said Charlene.
"If you're that serious, I might as well get a vasectomy," said Ethan.
"Considering I'm a bit squeamish about the idea of having my tubes tied, it would only be fair to make you do it instead." She then laughed. "Don't worry, I wouldn't put you through that. We can be careful without getting too drastic," said Charlene.
"We just need a calendar and a system that can't be deciphered by curious little boys as they get older."
"You think this one's gonna be a boy too?" asked Charlene, a little bit of disappointment edging into her voice.
"Would that be so bad?"
"Did you have any brothers?" asked Charlene.
"No, just sisters."
"Well, when two or more brothers fight, it's the house that suffers. And besides, I'm doing the whole boy thing with Chris... I... well, after looking after Alyssa and Lola this weekend, I was kinda hoping this one might just be a girl," admitted Charlene. Ethan put his arm around Charlene and kissed her tenderly but briefly.
"Who knows, maybe I'm wrong and it'll be a girl," said Ethan.
Ethan bit his lip, he could really hear the desire in Charlene's voice, but at the same time, Ethan had changed a lot about Jerry's life as it was. Unless, of course, he gave him a twin sister. Thinking of a ruse to get him up and out of the room, Ethan sat up and swung his feet to the floor.
"Leaving so soon?" asked Charlene.
"After as many rounds as we went? I'm actually a bit hungry now. I'll make breakfast, you get ready in case the girls' mothers show up," said Ethan as he stood and began to cross from the bed to the door.
"Aren't you forgetting something? Or do I already have to start worrying about much younger women moving in on my man?" joked Charlene as Ethan reached for the door knob.
A few seconds later, after Ethan had slid back into his underwear, pants, and his polo, he left Charlene's room barefoot and ready to make a few changes. By now, Alyssa and Lola had fallen asleep on the couch watching cartoons, as had Chris next to them. They were an adorable sight, and a sight best let sleeping if he wanted to make the changes he wanted quickly.
Ethan logged back into his laptop, and quickly pulled up the program. He clicked on Charlene's profile, noting that Jerry's former profile was reduced to a smaller side menu on Charlene's screen. Also noted was a batch of still living sperm making their way through Charlene's uterus for a non-existent egg. Ethan clicked on Charlene and explored a few of his options. One of which was to prompt her to release an egg, which Ethan did. A few seconds later the program noted that an egg had been released into Charlene's uterus where it was quickly swarmed by a bunch of his little swimmers. Before it could be inseminated, Ethan quickly clicked on the egg and noted that it would only accept female sperm from him. A few moments later, the chronivac pinged that a baby girl had been conceived, another question now was prompted by the program asking if Ethan wanted to time share between the two fetuses to make them the same age. Without a second thought, Ethan clicked accept and suddenly Jerry's fetus image on the screen began to shrink as the new girl fetus began to grow and appear as a mini-profile right underneath Jerry. A few seconds passed and now Jerry and his new sister were both a month and two weeks old, leaving Charlene in an earlier state of pregnancy, but with the baby girl she wanted due at the same time Jerry was now.
