.......... Wednesday, July 1

..........Jo turned off the alarm, eased out of bed and went to her bathroom to get ready to go to the lab. It was hard to finish her morning toilet without getting a female "Boner." Seeing the mirror's reflection of a woman's breasts bounce and jiggle as she brushed her teeth still turned her on.

.........."The makeup was easy now" she thought as she finished her hair and went to her closet to select the slacks and blouse she had decided to wear and the low heel shoes.

..........Jo could hear Linda stirring as she fixed her juice and cereal. Jo ate her breakfast and waited for Linda to finish her morning toilet, then went to her bedroom to give her a hug and kiss.

.........."I won't be at Honeybone long," said Jo as she turned to go, "I'll be here when you come home."

..........Everyone was there early Wednesday morning. Cindy had left David Jr. with her mother and come with Dave, she wanted to watch what happened to her husband.

.........."Good morning all," greeted Dr. Krell as he entered the lab. "My patient has formed a uterus and is doing fine. His blood and tissue samples are consistent with Norm's and I am satisfied that it is safe for Dave to continue, as safe as one could expect for this unusual situation that is." "It will take a little while to check over everything but we should be ready by about nine this morning." "Why don't all of you wait in the lounge area. I will call you when everything is ready."

..........The lounge was just off the cafeteria and had the usual assortment of vending machines with several tables and chairs. Dave, Cindy, Michelle, Tim and Jo all went there and sat around one of the larger tables.

.........."How do you feel, Dave"? Asked Jo, "Are you nervous"?

.........."No, Not really. I need to do this ... and Dr. Krell's patient came through it just fine. I'm not worried."

.........."And you, Cindy"?

.........."I'm happy about what it's going to do for Dave, I guess I'm happy and nervous at the same time."

.........."It's enough to make anyone nervous," said Tim, "But I'm anxious for my turn on Friday." Michelle and Jo agreed with Tim. "Tim must not have changed his mind" thought Jo.

..........Dr. Krell came in and said that he was ready. They all went back to the lab and Dave took his place in the cage. Dr. Krell threw the switches and watched the timer. At the end of twelve minutes he turned the transmitters off and Dave walked out of the cage, a big smile on his face.

.........."Is that all there is to it"? asked Cindy, a surprised look on her face.

.........."That's all," said Dave, "we weren't even this aware of it when it first happened."

.........."Dave, I would like for you to come with me to Hillcrest so we can watch you, at least until tomorrow morning. We will take one MRI then. I expect to see some of your uterus formed by then. We will take another on Friday morning, along with some blood and tissue samples." Turning to the others, "It will be your turn on Friday, one at a time. You are free to go, Cindy would you like to accompany Dave"?

.........."Yes, I would."

..........Dave and Cindy left with Dr. Krell and the others went their way, two more days of waiting.

..........Jo went home and started to straighten out her things from the move. She put all of Joe's clothes in one of the spare bedrooms along with her bed linen. Her bike went in the handmade room with the Schwinn air-dyne. Her books went in the one book case she had with the rest on the floor for the time being. There was a phone line in there so Jo set up her computer on the table she had brought. Her file cabinet went next to the table. "Have to get another phone line for net access" she thought.

..........Linda came home while Jo was getting the computer hooked up.

.........."Oh, goody, I get to use a computer," said Linda as she hugged and kissed Jo.

.........."Do you use one at the office"?

.........."Yes, we have all our listings on a computer. We even have a web site for the public to use."

.........."You could probably access your office computer from here when I get a separate phone line in here," said Jo, "all you would need is access authorization to your office network."

.........."I could do some of my work here if I had that couldn't I," mused Linda. "By the way, I'm pregnant."

.........."You're what"?

.........."I'm pregnant, my temperature rose, well, if those sperm of yours are good swimmers I am. I won't know for sure for a week." "I go back tomorrow and Friday for some more sperm just to make sure it's there when I ovulate." "He said there was enough for one more cycle if I miss this one."

.........."I don't know

.......... what to say. I guess I'm as happy about it as you are," said Jo as he held Linda close.

.........."I don't know if you could be," sighed Linda, "it's so personal. What else have you done"?

..........Jo showed Linda the bed linen she had put in the bedroom and got her to go through all the kitchen stuff Jo had brought over and set aside what she didn't need. Jo put her tools in the garage and that was about that.

..........The phone rang while they were eating supper.

.........."That was Cindy," said Linda, "she wants to come by here after she gets back from Hillcrest. Dave's okay but he's all upset again." They finished eating and watched TV until Cindy got there.

..........Linda answered the door bell, "Hi, Cindy, come in. How's Dave"?

.........."He's fine, a little down in the dumps though, oh, hi Jo, I didn't know you were here."

.........."Yeah, I guess I officially moved in yesterday."

.........."I needed to talk to Linda," said Cindy, looking at Linda.

.........."We can use my bedroom. It's at the back of the house and Jo won't disturb us."

.........."You don't mind, Jo"?

.........."No, go ahead. I'll stay in here and watch TV."

.........."I need to talk girl talk," said Cindy as they went to Linda's bedroom. "It's Dave and our relationship. I thought that fixing this problem about being a complete woman would help. But now he thinks we are farther apart than ever."

.........."What's the main problem"?

.........."I think it's sex. I know he wants sex with me and I think he feels I want it but he can't satisfy me." "What are ... are you and Jo having sex"? Cindy looked at Linda with a pleading look on her face. "Do you mind me asking? I know it's none of my business but I don't know who else to ask."

.........."Yes, Jo and I are having sex. Good satisfying sex I might add."

.........."But how do you do it"?

.........."Have you and Dave ever had oral sex"? Cindy looked frightened.

.........."Have you"?

.........."Well, sort of. Dave kissed me down here once and asked me if I wanted to kiss his penis."

.........."What did you tell him"?

.........."I said not then and he dropped the subject."

.........."Did you want to"?

.........."I think so, but I was too embarrassed to do it."

.........."Did you know that 90 percent of the married couples in our age group engage in oral sex on a regular basis?"

..........Cindy looked shocked, "Did you and Joe, before this happened I mean"?

.........."Yes."

.........."Did you like it"?

.........."It gave me the best orgasm I ever had and Jo said it made his toes curl when I did him."

.........."But what do you do now, I mean Jo can't ... what do you do to Jo"?

.........."The same thing she does to me. Do you have any idea how to perform oral sex"?

.........."Not really ... could ... would you show me how"? Linda thought about what Cindy was asking. She couldn't think of but one way to show her and she didn't want to do that. Linda saw that Cindy was starting to cry.

.........."Cindy, go in the bathroom and take a good shower. Do you douche? There's a water bag under the sink. I'll get it for you. When you finish, don't dress, come back in here and wait for me."

..........Linda finished her shower, dried and went back to Cindy.

.........."Oral sex is just what it sounds like. You use your lips and tongue to make your partner cum. I've never done this with a woman before, I guess I'm as nervous as you were. Cindy, I don't know if I can do this. I don't think of Jo as a woman, he's just trapped in a woman's body and we make do with what we have."

.........."Has Dave ever sucked your nipples, kissed your navel"?

.........."Of course," laughed Cindy.

.........."Did it feel good"?

.........."Yes," smiled Cindy.

.........."Well we're half way there, turn out that bedside lamp. Does he do this"? Asked Linda as she put her hand on Cindy's vulva and began to massage her clit.

.........."Sometimes, he made me cum that way once since the accident,"

..........Linda could feel Cindy getting wet. She thought of how Jo had liked it the last time she had done it to her, how she would probably like to do it if she became a man. Linda closed her eyes and imagined it was Jo lying there on the bed as she slowly put her face between Cindy's legs. At first Cindy pulled back and then relaxed. Linda started with the inside of her thigh and moved to the bottom of her vulva and showed her all the spots, from as far inside her vagina as her tongue could reach to her clitoris. She kept her attention on her clit until she felt Cindy's orgasm start and then increased her tempo, caressing Cindy's breasts as she did until Cindy reached her climax. Linda took Cindy in her arms and kissed her, holding her until she relaxed again.

.........."Now it's your turn," said Linda, "Think of me as Dave and think of my clit as his penis while you're sucking it."

..........Cindy looked at Linda in the dark, trying to get her courage up, and then slowly put her head between Linda's legs. She was a good pupil. She knew what had felt good to her and tried to do the same for Linda. She got enough of it right and Linda climaxed.

.........."Now I want you to do one more thing, it's called 69 because of the way the numbers nest, just like your and Dave's bodies are going to."

..........Linda turned around and pressed her vulva to Cindy's face while she put her head between Cindy's legs.

.........."Now think of my tongue as being attached to yours. Wherever yours goes, mine will follow."

..........Cindy started at Linda's vagina and felt Linda's tongue in hers. Cindy slowly repeated what she had done before and tried other areas and ways of licking and sucking until they both came.

.........."Did you like that"?

.........."I've never felt anything like it in my life," said Cindy, "where did you learn to do that"?

.........."Jo used to do it to me before, then I bought a book and we've been practicing," smiled Linda. "I'll lend you the book if you want it."

.........."I'll guarantee it'll feel just as good to Dave. And if he kissed your vulva before, I don't think you'll have any trouble getting him to do it again. What you have to do is get him in the proper mood. Don't do any thing out of the ordinary, be subtle about it. One glass of wine after David is asleep and a little cuddling, you know what to do."

.........."Lets get cleaned up and go back to Jo before she thinks we've been up to something," giggled Linda, "lets shower together, that can be fun too."

..........They dressed and went back to join Jo who was still watching TV.

.........."Well, did you two solve Dave's problem"?

.........."I don't know, it's going to take time. I think Linda's advice is going to help. Well, I've got to go. I want to be there in the morning when they take Dave's MRI, see you."

..........Linda came back after she had shown Cindy to the door and sat next to Jo.

.........."I loaned Cindy that book I showed you. They basically haven't had any sex since the accident, maybe once when Dave masturbated Cindy."

.........."I know, Dave told me Cindy wasn't a lesbian and he didn't want her to become one."

.........."I think Cindy knows how to handle that now. She's going to take more of the initiative now and try to put Dave's concerns to rest."

.........."How's the movie"?

.........."Pretty good. It's a long one, it's got another hour to go."

.........."I'll watch it with you and then we can go to bed," said Linda, "hold me."

Thursday, July 2

..........The noise of the alarm finally got the best of them. Jo and Linda untangled themselves from each other and Linda turned it off. They both had to get up or they would have stayed in bed. Jo had to go to work and Linda had to go to Hillcrest and then work. Linda got up and went to her bathroom, closing the door behind her. Jo sat up and stretched, and then looked down at her breasts and that smooth triangle of hair between her legs. She massaged her breasts slowly until her nipples began to harden and then ran her hands down to her crotch, feeling her soft sex. Being a woman felt good this morning.

..........Jo got up and went to her bathroom. Using the toilet had become an automatic process. It was actually easier now, she didn't have to aim anything, just sit and let it run out. She had done that before when she didn't really want to wake up enough to hit the toilet. She could find the toilet in the dark and sit on it, almost without waking up.

..........Jo showered, brushed her teeth and did her usual physical examination. The physical changes were occurring too slowly now to be able to recognize them from one day to the next. She got her panties and new bra and put them on in the bathroom. Her panties were becoming a little too tight, she would have to replace them too. She tried on her new 34 C bra. It felt very comfortable, the clasp fastened easily and the straps didn't cut into her shoulders. She looked carefully at the cups, they were full, the outline of her nipples showing and the upper part of her breasts bulging slightly out of the top of the bra as she breathed. Sexy she thought as she smiled back at her reflection while she put on her makeup.

..........Jo had always considered herself a professional and tried to act properly at work. Selecting the proper clothes for work was more fun now. She put on her half slip and blouse, those pantyhose and then her new skirt. She turned in front of the dresser mirror. Pleased with what she saw she went to the kitchen for breakfast; Linda was just finishing hers.

.........."My, don't you look nice!" exclaimed Linda.

.........."I love you Joe Bates," she said as she hugged Jo, "got to go, see you this afternoon."

.........."I love you too, Linda," said Jo, both of you, kissing her before she let her go. "I'll be home later this morning, call me if you don't have a client and we can meet for lunch."

.........."Love to, I think I'll be free, eleven-thirty"?

.........."Sounds good, bye."

..........Jo listened to Linda's car as it went down the drive. "I'm going to like living here" she thought as she fixed her breakfast.

..........Jo parked her car in the Honeybone lot and walked past the guard, "morning Ms. Bates." "Morning Bill." The guards had all been told about what had happened and seemed to be more friendly toward the group than the other women that walked past them. They still watched them as they walked away from them, but what man wouldn't. Their look was more that of a friend now instead of the usual leer.

..........Jo saw Tim coming from his car and waited at the door for him.

.........."Morning Tim."

.........."Morning Jo. Think we'll hear any news about Dave"?

.........."I think so, as soon as they get the MRIs. Cindy was at Linda's last night. She said he was fine when she left him around ten."

..........They went to Jim's office to see if there was any news. Jim told them that Dr. Krell would stay at Hillcrest today to watch over his two patients.

.........."Michelle is here, in the lab. Karen is bringing some equipment over so she can give you guys a couple of tests here today and then tomorrow after your treatment. I guess Dr. Krell wants to see how fast things happen." "Karen should be here about nine. Michelle is setting up a place for her in the small conference room. Why don't you go there now"?

.........."Okay, thanks Jim. Tim and I'll wait for her there."

..........They found Michelle moving tables and chairs around and setting up a privacy screen in one corner.

.........."Still moving furniture huh Michelle."

.........."Hi, Jo, Tim. Yeah, everybody still thinks I have a strong back," laughed Michelle, "it's strong I guess, compared to the average woman, but no where like it was. I can't lift half, no, one fourth what I could before." "I've dead lifted over four hundred pounds, I doubt I could do much over one hundred now." "Anyway, I can always get some guy to do all my lifting for me now," said Michelle with a big grin.

.........."Has Jim said anything to you about your work"? asked Jo.

.........."We've talked some. You know, there was never much heavy stuff involved with my job. My strength shouldn't be a problem, my smaller size can even be a plus, inside planes and things. Jim doesn't plan to change anything, except my locker room," laughed Michelle.

..........Karen came in a few minutes later, carrying a bunch of medical equipment. Tim went back out to her car to help her bring in the rest.

.........."Well ladies, who wants to be first"? asked Karen, holding up a blood sample vial, "Just kidding, we won't do this until just before your treatment. I do want to take your measurements today though. Michelle, your chart's on top."

..........Karen saw the screen in the corner and took each of their measurements there. She took them into the small restroom adjoining the conference room for the breast volume measurements because of the mess that made. Jo told her about the breast mold she had made. Karen smiled at first and then said that it was probably a good idea. The better the test data, the better the results and the way they had been doing it was pretty crude. Jo told her how she had done it and they discussed some of the variables like standing or bending over, maybe lying on their back to get just the breast tissue and eliminate sagging skin.

..........Karen was putting her equipment away when Jim knocked and came in, a big smile on his face.

.........."Dr. Krell called and said that Dave is doing great. The MRI showed a moderate sized uterus and his blood test showed a slight increase in estrogen and progesterone, functioning ovaries I guess." "Cindy was there and said Dave's spirits were better this morning." "If you're through Karen, everybody is free to go. Be here at nine tomorrow, I think it's going to be a go." "Oh, and Jo, bring Linda if you want, and Tim, your sister. Michelle, anyone you want to come"?

.........."Maybe my aunt, I'll see."

.........."Karen, I'll be here tomorrow but I probably won't use the cage. Dr. Krell wants to make sure Linda is pregnant before he treats me, and they won't know for maybe a week." "Yes, she probably ovulated yesterday. It could be less than a week but not in time for tomorrow." "She'll come back for a test on Monday. The test can prove she is but it can't prove she isn't." Jo went home to wait for Linda's call, they would have good news to discuss.

..........Linda called about eleven-fifteen and suggested Denny's at eleven-thirty. Linda already had a table when Jo arrived.

.........."Hi, Jo."

.........."Hi, Linda, great news. Dave's doing fine, his uterus is forming and he must have developed ovaries, his estrogen and progesterone levels are rising." "Oh, and Cindy says his spirits are rising too."

..........The waitress brought two glasses of tea that Linda had ordered and took their order for two salads. They were both determined to watch their weight but Jo was still having trouble after thirty years of eating so much more.

.........."That is good news. I got another spurt of your sperm, the way it's usually injected is better," smiled Linda, "what did you do at work"?

.........."Sorry about that, my injector is out of service." "Nothing at work really. Karen set up an examination area in one of our small conference rooms and checked all our measurements. Mine are still changing, we knew about my chest and shoulder reduction and my breast enlargement. The distance between my legs is increasing, my pelvic opening enlarging I guess. Of course that's making my hips wider. My legs are a little shorter too, more in proportion to my upper body now."

.........."Are you happy about that"?

.........."I guess so, it makes me look better I think, everything more in proportion. I don't feel any different."

.........."It looks like Michelle and Tim will use the cage tomorrow morning without me," said Jo.

.........."I won't be late but I do have two more houses to show this afternoon."

..........Jo gave Linda a hug in the parking lot and went home. She was starting to get a little nervous, she wasn't really worried, what with Dave's progress. And then there would be Michelle and Tim before her. But it still wasn't something to be taken lightly. She didn't feel like going out again this afternoon. She removed her office clothes and bra and put on shorts and a T shirt. Linda was right, it did feel sort of nice to let her breasts jiggle as she moved around in the house.

..........Jo called the phone company and ordered a second line. It seemed there was already a second line in the house, all that was required was for the company to activate it. Jo checked the wiring and found the second line. She got a double outlet out of her junk box, hooked up both lines and used an extension to connect her computer modem. She rummaged around in the boxes she had brought from her apartment, found her phone and plugged that into the main line.

..........Jo turned on her computer and started changing her address and phone number in the various files. She would be able to use her computer to accomplish some changes of address but others would require a letter. She would also have to fill out a form for the post office, and then there was her drivers license and pilots papers and the office and insurance and car registration and .... Linda came home and saved her from pulling her hair out as she tried to compile a list of all the things she had to change.

..........Jo gave Linda a big hug and kiss as she came in.

.........."Boy, am I glad to see you. I've been trying to take care of all my changes of address ... it's driving me up the wall."

.........."It's not that bad," said Linda smiling, "I'll help you, we have a packet at the office that we give to people when they buy or sell a house through us. I'll bring one home tomorrow."

..........Jo told Linda about the phone and her nervousness. Linda changed to shorts and T shirt and they sat together on the sofa. Neither wanted to say much it seemed, Jo slid down and put her head in Linda's lap. Linda said that the store might be able to alter the more expensive clothes she was outgrowing but Jo told her it wasn't worth it, Honeybone had essentially given them a blank check for their expenses.

.........."Can I help you with supper"? asked Jo.

.........."Okay, you set the table and fix the salad and drinks. I'll warm up the rest of the meatloaf and veggies if that's okay with you"?

.........."Fine with me."

..........After supper they watched TV for a while and then went to bed early. They made love for awhile. 69 was becoming a favorite, that way they had someone to hold during their orgasm and afterwards. It was so easy to have two or three orgasms, both cuming almost together each time.

Friday, July 3

..........Jo got up a little early Friday morning so she could get to Honeybone on time. She decided to wear her shorts and blouse over a bra. Linda put on the same thing for her trip to Hillcrest, she would come back and change before she went to work.

..........Jo had seen Karen's car in the parking lot so she went to the conference room to see if Karen was there. Jim had brought in coffee and donuts and everyone was there, waiting on Dr. Krell and news of Dave.

..........Jo knew everyone there except for Michelle's aunt, a Mrs. Sophia Barnes. Michelle introduced them and they were talking when Dr. Krell entered the room with Dave and Cindy.

.........."Good morning everyone, and this is a good morning," said Dr. Krell, "I would like to introduce Mrs. Darine Skinner, the complete Mrs. Darine Skinner." "I see no reason to wait any longer. I would like for Karen to take a blood sample from each of you. As soon as she is finished with the first one, come back to the lab and we will proceed." "Darine, I know you and Cindy would like to go home, please do. If you feel anything unusual, call me immediately. Will the guests please follow me and I will take you to the lab."

..........Darine and Cindy waved at everyone and left for home, picking up David on the way.

..........Karen was just finishing Michelle's blood sample so she went with Dr. Krell and the others. Jim had arranged seats for them and had the equipment on and ready for Dr. Krell.

..........Michelle entered the cage and sat on the chair. Dr. Krell threw the switch, waited twelve minutes and turned it off. Another fifteen minutes and Tim was back in the conference room for his second blood sample.

..........It was really anticlimactic, such a fantastic thing accomplished with only the faint hum of the transmitters.

..........Dr. Krell took Karen and his two patients and drove back to Hillcrest, followed by Sophia with Becky. Jo left and went home, feeling a little letdown seeing them go without her.

..........Dr. Krell had arranged for a large room with two beds and a table with several chairs. They could all stay there until night when the guests would have to leave. Dr. Krell had decided that, based on Dave's example, he would release them the following morning. The presence of the new hormones in their system would be sufficient proof of success. He wanted to minimize the emotional distress they were all under, they could return next week for their MRIs.

..........Karen found another vein in their arms and left a needle in it for the hourly blood samples. This was the most uncomfortable part of the entire process. Michelle said she thought she felt some minor discomfort in her abdomen about six that evening but Tim said he felt nothing. By eight there was a detectable increase in estrogen in their blood and some progesterone by ten.

..........Sophia took Becky back with her after the ten o'clock test and let her out at her car in the Honeybone parking lot. Karen would bring Michelle and Tim back in the morning.

..........Jo moped around the house for a while and then went to the grocery store. Linda called and they met for lunch.

.........."How did it go"? asked Linda.

.........."Fine I guess."

.........."You're disappointed aren't you"?

.........."It's mixed, I feel sort of left out but what you're doing more than makes up for it." "I guess now I'm on pins and needles over two things," smiled Jo. "Waiting for you to get pregnant and waiting for me to get so I can get pregnant." "How did it go at Hillcrest, this was your last time wasn't it"?

.........."Okay, there's nothing to it. He just injects some liquid deep up inside me, up in my uterus I guess, and I leave, I guess they mix your sperm with something before they put it in me." "There won't be any more unless it didn't work."

.........."I hope no one's listening to us," said Linda, "They'll think we're crazy."

.........."Well"?

..........They both started laughing as they walked out to their cars.

.........."See you soon," said Linda as they hugged, "I'll be home early."

..........Jo went home and puttered around the house, emptying the dishwasher and cleaning up the kitchen. She washed a load of clothes, cleaned the pool filter, added some chlorine and adjusted the PH. She was changing the bed linen when she heard Linda's car in the drive. Jo rushed to the door to open it and greet Linda as she came in.

.........."Welcome home Linda, I love you, and you," said Jo as she patted Linda's stomach.

.........."What makes you think there's someone down there"?

.........."I just know there is."

.........."I hope you're right, I sort of feel pregnant, in my mind anyway." "You've been busy haven't you, the house looks nice."

.........."Lets go to Bennigan's and then dancing again, you know, where you took me before," said Linda. "This time I'm going to lead."

.........."Okay, lead on."

.........."There's no rush, it's early yet, we'll just lay around and then dress. I'm going to get out of these clothes now though," said Linda as she headed for the bedroom.

.........."I thought you couldn't get your side wet," said Linda as Jo eased in the shower with her.

.........."It's healed."

.........."Wash my back, yeah, my breasts too ... that too ... wash it some more. Give me the washcloth and turn around." "Is this where he took the sperm? It is healed isn't it. Do you like for me to bathe you? I like for you to bathe me."

.........."Lets dry off and lay on the bed."

.........."That was nice." said Linda as they came down from their orgasms, "lets save the desert for when we come home, we've got to dress now."

.........."I'm going to wear slacks and this shirt," said Linda, "You wear a skirt and blouse."

.........."Are you trying to tell me something"?

.........."Well, you know where we're going, I thought we should dress the part," laughed Linda.

.........."I'm game if you are," replied Jo.

.........."I like the atmosphere here, and the food is always good," said Jo, as the waiter was leaving with their order.

.........."So do I, I like the company too," said Linda as she reached for Jo's hand.

..........The waiter returned with their food in a few minutes, interrupting their conversation. They finished their meal and drove to the night club. The crowd seemed the same. No one paid them any attention as they were seated, just another dyke with her lesbian lover. The music was good and the drink warming. Linda was a good dancer and led a somewhat out of step Jo through the steps. They got home about eleven and went to bed for that desert Linda had promised.

Saturday, July 4

.......... "The weekends with Linda were getting nicer," thought Jo as she watched her sleep. Jo liked to do that when she woke up first. She placed her hand on Linda's stomach, as if to feel something stirring; she knew there would not be but the she still did it. "Do you have to go to work today"? asked Jo as she felt Linda stir and saw her eyes open.

.........."No, not much business on big holidays, there's someone in the office to take calls and such. There's something there isn't there"? smiled Linda as she placed her hand over Jo's.

.........."Yes."

.........."They'll tell me Monday."

.........."Want to get up"? asked Jo.

.........."No."

.........."Want some breakfast"?

.........."Yes."

..........Jo answered the phone, "Fine, thank you." "The new phone line's working," said Jo as she wrote down the number.

..........Jo answered the Phone again, "It's for you, Cindy."

.........."Hi, Cindy, he is, I'm glad, you did! Okay, bye." "Darine and Cindy had sex last night, and again this morning," said Linda, as she started to blush.

.........."Do women always call their friends and tell them when they have sex"?

.........."No silly, this was a special case. This was the first time since the accident."

.........."No wonder Dave has been upset lately," laughed Jo, "is this what you two were up to the other night? What did you tell her"?

.........."I told her how we did it and gave her my book. She had never had oral sex before. She didn't know how to do it and was afraid to try."

.........."You told her about us"? asked Jo, starting to blush now.

..........Linda shrugged her shoulders, "I had to help her, she didn't have anyone else to ask."

.........."I guess I'll have to get up, it seems the rest of the world already is," said Linda as she reached for her robe.

..........Jo had got their breakfast food out and they sat to eat.

.........."That was good," said Jo.

.........."Yes, it was," said Linda, as she cleared the table. "Show me how to work your computer. I want to see if I can tie into the office."

..........Linda used computers frequently but each person's is usually setup differently. They went to the spare room and Linda sat at the computer. Jo pulled up a chair and showed Linda the switches on the Gateway and gave her her own password. It took a while to setup the various programs so they could both have access but still have private files. Once that was done, Linda called her office and found that Margie, the lady who managed their computer system, was manning the phones. She told Linda that they had other people who were tied in from home and there were several lines available. Margie wasn't busy and guided Linda through the process of logging onto the network from outside and set up a password for her. Jo helped with Linda's end and soon the system was working.

..........Linda logged off, shutdown the computer and then started it back up. She dialed into the office system, used her password and logged on the network.

.........."This is great, it's just like I was at my desk. The screen looks just like mine." "There's no cost either, my office is in my calling area. Thanks Jo."

.........."You can pay me for it tonight," said Jo as she reached over and Kissed her, "right now I'd like to take a swim. Care to Join me"?

.........."Love to," said Linda as she removed her robe and headed for the pool with nothing on but her sandals.

..........Jo removed hers and dived in right behind her. They spent an hour swimming and necking in the water and then got out and sat at the table in the shade. Linda got some drinks and snacks and they talked about the next step in their relationship.

.........."I want to change back if I can, But I don't think that's in the cards, not for a long time, ten years at least; I guess that leaves it up to you."

.........."It'll be a year, fifteen months, before I finish nursing our baby," said Linda. "maybe they'll have the problems for changing me solved by then."

.........."I have to go in Monday before eight," said Jo, "Dr. Krell said Jim had some important information for us. Dr. Krell will be there too. There might be some news then."

.........."I've got to see Dr. Hopkins at ten on Monday for my pregnancy test, busy day for us."

..........They loafed around the house, doing absolutely nothing of importance until supper time. Linda fixed a light supper and then they watched TV again, there wasn't much on.

.........."Linda, do you think having sex every night is too much"?

.........."No, do you"?

.........."No."

.........."Then lets go to bed."

Sunday, July 5

..........Linda felt this delightful sensation coming from between her legs. Sometimes she dreamed she was having sex with Joe. This time it was not intercourse, it was too gentle, soft like Joe's tongue licking her clitoris. She spread her legs and moved her hips in time with the strokes as she felt Joe's tongue go deep in her vagina and then lap up her vestibule to her clitoris, circle around it and then back to reenter her vagina. She reached down to hold Joe's head and press him to her, God this felt good to be a dream she thought as she felt her orgasm beginning; gradually realizing it was morning and Jo was bringing her orgasm to its climax.

..........Linda sat up and pulled Jo to her, tasting her own juices as she kissed her. Linda lay Jo back on the bed and moved down to thrust her tongue into Jo's vagina, searching for that sensitive spot, feeling Jo respond as she found it. Then moving on to her clitoris to suck it into her mouth and hold it there while she caressed it with her tongue. Jo slowly turned around, needing to hold Linda to her, needing to respond to the waves of pleasure emanating from deep within her; finding Linda's clitoris and letting Linda's mouth guide hers as they both climaxed.

.........."What a way to wake up," said Linda as she moved on top of Jo and opened her mouth to kiss her.

.........."It just seemed to be the thing to do," said Jo between kisses, "Do you want to get up"?

.........."No."

.........."Neither do I. What do you want to do"?

.........."This," said Linda as she turned and pressed her wet vulva down over Jo's face while she lowered her face to Jo's.

..........They went back to sleep while they were resting in each others arms, Jo finally having to get up to go to the bathroom around ten.

..........Linda joined her there and they bathed each other in the shower and then dried each other.

.........."Isn't sex supposed to burn up a lot of calories"? asked Jo as they were dressing.

.........."Yes, why"?

.........."I want some waffles."

.........."I'll fix some," laughed Linda, "but it'll take a lot of sex to burn these up."

.........."That's okay, I've got all day."

.........."I'll bet you'd try too," said Linda, "what else would you like to do"?

.........."Maybe we could go boating on the lake, we could take a lunch and spend the afternoon."

.........."I'd like that, I haven't been to the lake since last summer."

..........Jo helped Linda fix some sandwiches, got some drinks and chips and put it all in the insulated chest. Linda's drove the thirty miles to the lake and Jo was able to rent a boat at the marina. They put their things in the boat and took it up to the pier at one of the picnic areas. Jo signed up for one of the tables and they went out onto the lake. The boat was reasonably fast so they cruised along the shore for several miles, looking at the resort homes and stopping at some of the recreation areas before they turned back. It was three o'clock before they got back to their table. Linda carried their food to the table while Jo secured the boat and brought the other things.

.........."I wonder what those homes along the lake cost"? asked Jo as they were eating.

.........."If you have to ask, you can't afford one," laughed Linda.

.........."That much huh."

.........."I don't think they're a good investment either," said Linda, "They start at $600,000. You can rent a cottage on the lake each summer for a lot less." "We sell them sometimes, the people who buy them don't even ask what they cost and they pay cash."

.........."I'm glad we brought these lounges, it sure is nice to lie here under these trees," said Linda, "I think I'll take a nap"

.........."I think I'll join you," said Jo as she stretched out on the other lounge.

..........It was six before Jo woke. "We'd better be starting back," said Jo as she gently shook Linda, "It's six and it'll take a while to return the boat and drive back."

.........."Ahhh, I feel good," said Linda as she yawned and stretched. "Here, let me help you pack these things."

..........They returned the boat and were home by eight with a stop at Wendy's for a take out.

..........There was a good movie on TV so they watched that while they ate.

.........."I've got to go to Honeybone in the morning," said Jo, "Ready for bed? I'm going to take a shower and get some sleep."

.........."I'll shower and be with you in a few minutes."

..........Linda slid into bed and spooned in behind Jo, cupping her breast in her hand. Jo reached up and put her hand over Linda's, she liked the feel of Linda holding her like that.
