Chapter 37

Tonight was especially sweet. Julie decided that she wanted to make love to me. I knew something was up when most of the girls mysteriously disappeared and Julie, Victoria, Megan, and Amy came into the bedroom with me. Julie needed some support, I guess.

I recognized the scene right away as the night Julie and I made love before the end of the last cycle. It was as if I was floating above the scene, watching, yet I could see I was in it also. I noticed some distinct differences from the original scene, however. In the original scene, Julie was a 29 year old woman. Here, she was the same 14 year old girl she was now! Also, Megan was in the scene now, as the 37 year old she was now. She was not in the original scene from the last cycle. It seemed that the references to the upcoming end of the cycle were also gone. I could see Sarah floating above the scene with me. She held my hand and squeezed it, assuring me everything was ok.

My mind barely registered a bright flash of light before I fell asleep.

I woke up the next morning to the delightful feel of a warm, naked body cuddled up to me. I loved that feeling! I slowly opened my eyes, only to receive the shock of my life.

I was in bed with Julie! Sweet, innocent Julie! What had I done? I vaguely remembered with shock the 'dream' of the night before. I started to pull away, to slink into the sunset before she realized what I had done. I had just started to move when Julie turned over to face me and wrapped her arms tightly around me. She opened her eyes and smiled brightly at me.

"Oh no you don't," she said softly. "I've waited this long to get you here with me; you're not leaving now!" She effortlessly flipped me onto my back and straddled me, sinking down on top of me and taking me up inside her in one smooth motion. I heard her gasp with pleasure and saw her eyes close. She was so tight and wet. She slowly started to rock back and forth on me, occasionally lifting herself up and down. I very quickly lost any feelings of guilt and anxiety I had. There was no way I could not enjoy what she was doing to me. It appeared the feelings were very mutual.

It was not long before we both came together and collapsed against each other, completely spent. Julie rolled off to cuddle up to me tightly. She drifted off to sleep again, a contented smile on her face. I slipped away from her, heading for the bathroom. A shower made me feel better, but it did little to dispel my feelings of guilt.

I headed into the kitchen to scare up some breakfast. As I entered the kitchen, I saw Megan and Sarah standing at the counter, holding their plates, eating breakfast. Megan put her plate down, hugged and kissed me, and looked into my eyes intently. She smiled softly, sympathetically at me.

"Did you enjoy yourself last night?" She asked, only teasing a little bit. She saw the look of guilt and shame on my face, and her teasing quickly disappeared. She hugged me again.

"I see we need to explain to you what happened last night," Megan began. "It's not what you think. You see..."

It was at that point that Julie wandered into the kitchen. She looked half-asleep. Her hair was everywhere as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes, but she had a big smile on her face. She looked happy. She looked at me and smiled brightly, putting her arms around my neck and kissing me softly before she wandered over for some food. Megan looked at her, smiling, then looked at me. Then she jerked her head sharply back to look at Julie again closely. Megan's face turned pale as she dropped her plate on the floor, her hand covering her mouth in shock, her eyes wide open in surprise. We all looked at her, dumbfounded, as her plate shattered on the floor and her food scattered everywhere.

"Oh my God!" Megan whispered hoarsely, her voice breaking slightly with emotion. She looked at Julie very carefully again, then turned and gave me a look that would have melted steel. I looked at her in confusion. She was there last night; she knew what happened. Why was she so upset now? Julie looked at me, eyes soft with pity. She looked like she knew exactly what was going on.

"You two. In the bedroom. Now." Megan practically pushed us into the bedroom, closing the door behind her. I couldn't tell if she was mad, upset, or what. Somehow, from the look she gave me, I knew I was in big trouble. I didn't know what was going on. I hadn't intentionally done what I did last night. It didn't appear that any of us had any control over what happened.

Megan didn't say anything at first. She sat down on the bed and took a deep breath. I saw confusion in her eyes. That's when I got scared. I had seldom seen Megan confused before. She always knew everything. Finally, she looked at me.

"Patrick, I need you to answer a question for me. It doesn't matter if the answer is yes or no. There is no right answer and you are not in trouble either way. I just need to know the answer." She paused, looking at me. I nodded.

"Before you went to Iraq, in the course of conversation one day, you stated that you had never had any sexual contact with Julie. Was that true, and up until last night, was it still true? It's ok if you did, honey; you know I have never restricted your contact with anyone in the family. I just need to know." Megan looked at me expectantly, trying to keep me from being nervous. I looked at her steadily.

"Megan, I don't know what is going on, nor why you need to know so badly, but I swear I have not touched Julie sexually before last night. I kissed her once, which she initiated. I've held her hand. I've hugged her. That's it." I hoped that helped, but it seemed to make her even more confused. Julie nodded, verifying what I said.

"What's wrong, Megan? I'm sorry about last night. You know I never would have done that of my own free will. You were there; you saw what happened. I would never have intentionally hurt your little girl..." Megan stopped me, giving me a hug.

"It's ok, Patrick. That's not the problem. I'm sorry; I shouldn't have looked at you like that. It's not your fault." She took a deep breath. "The problem is ... Julie is pregnant," she finished softly.

"WHAT?!? How can that be? How could you know that yet? It was just last night." I was stunned. "Are you sure?" I asked, being a male. Megan looked at me as if I was just the dumbest thing alive. It was so graphic that Julie almost fell off the bed laughing.

"Patrick..." Megan said, taking a deep breath, "I'm a Scribe. I see and record things in the smallest detail. I can tell when a female is pregnant even before she knows. Particularly when they are 2-3 months pregnant." She smiled at me, to keep me from being upset by her words.

"But ... but how is that possible? Why didn't you notice yesterday?"

"Because she wasn't pregnant yesterday. I would have noticed. I don't know what is going on. I asked you if you had had sex with her, because I know Julie hasn't had sex with anyone else," Megan explained. Julie nodded in agreement and blushed.

"Well, I can verify from last night that she has never had intercourse before," I told Megan. Julie blushed even more, if that was possible. I had an idea.

"Megan, call Sarah in here. She might be able to shed some light on this. She knew about the time distortions, she knew they were due to Julie, she knew that they were because of an event concerning Julie so important that it had to happen, even if the cycles interfered. Let's ask her." Megan opened the door and called Sarah in. Sarah looked at Megan's expression and looked like she really didn't want to come in. Megan grabbed her arm and pulled her in, shutting the door after her.

"Sarah, we need your help. We need to know how Julie can be 2-3 months pregnant when she had never had sex before last night. Do you know how this can be?" Megan asked. Sarah looked at us as if we were all stupid, and rolled her eyes.

"That's simple. She has had sex before, 2-3 months ago," Sarah stated definitively, looking proud of herself for having solved our mystery. She turned to leave the room, seemingly in a hurry, I thought. Megan grabbed her arm again.

"No, that's the problem, Sarah. She hasn't had sex before. That's what I said." Megan was being patient. Sarah sighed, trying to be patient also.

"Yes she did. Obviously she did, because she's pregnant. But I know she did, because I saw her," Sarah stated calmly. Julie looked upset.

"But I didn't. I've never had sex. I would have remembered that!" Julie protested, near tears. Megan looked at Sarah, eyebrows raised.

"Sarah, we don't understand. Please help us to understand," Megan asked. Sarah sighed again, then her eyes went blank. Maybe we were still talking to Sarah, but it wasn't the Sarah we were used to.

"You're not going to understand if I just tell you. Here, let me show you." 'Sarah' tilted her head slightly, and we all saw a scene flow through our minds.

The next night was especially sweet. Julie decided that she wanted to make love to me at least once before everything happened. I knew something was up when most of the girls mysteriously disappeared and Julie, Victoria and Amy came into the bedroom with me. Julie needed some support, I guess.

Julie and I spent a long time just kissing. She was getting hotter with every kiss. Victoria and Amy played the parts of handmaidens, slowly, sensuously undressing both of us. Amy undressed me, kissing me all the time, as Victoria undressed Julie, whispering in her ear as she did so. Whatever she whispered, Julie blushed bright red. Once we were undressed, I sat on the bed, and Julie sat in my lap, facing me. We gazed into each other's eyes for a long time, lost in the moment. We kissed leisurely, deeply, arms around each other, holding on to each other tightly. She shivered as I ran my hands down her sides, softly, slowly. When I kissed my way down her neck, finally taking one of her nipples in my mouth, she cried out softly. As my other hand wandered down her stomach, I felt her sucking in her breath, giving me room to slide my hand between us. When I played softly with her pubic hair, she cried out again. Finally, she held me tight, arms around my neck, and whispered in my ear.

"Make love to me Patrick, please. I want you, at least once, before we go." She was trembling, partly from desire, partly because she was a little scared.

Victoria and Amy helped me to lay her down on the bed. They lay on either side of her. Victoria held her close, stroking her hair, while Amy rubbed her belly softly, relaxing her. I kissed her, sucked on her nipples for awhile, and then slowly spread her legs. As I licked her and sucked on her clit, I heard her gasp loudly and felt her shake all over. As I continued to suck and lick, it was not long before she exploded in her first orgasm. As she was coming down, I moved up and put my cock at the opening of her pussy. She gasped again as I first touched her. I kissed her deeply as I slowly started to push inside her. She trembled all over as she spread her legs wide for me. As I slowed down, to let her get used to me, she put her hands on my ass and pulled me deep inside. She wrapped her legs around me and pulled me all the way in. I guess she didn't want to wait. She moaned as I settled all the way inside, my groin pressed against her clit.
