Lorelai’s gaze never left Laura’s eyes. She saw the entire spectrum of emotions play out in their beautiful depths in the course of a few moments. Shock, confusion, anger, disbelief, fear, exhilaration, embarrassment, arousal. It made her feel guilty for even suggesting such a thing. She knew of Laura’s solo trips to the holodeck, she never spied on her or kept tabs on her like that, their relationship was built on love, passion, respect and trust. And Lorelai would be damned if she broke that sacred trust her wife placed in her. She stroked her hand with her fingertips.
“Only if it’s something you’re comfortable with.” She said solemnly. True the crewmen who would be participating would know exactly who it was who they were fucking senseless. But none of them would know or even be told who it was who had succeeded in knocking the two up.
“They would know.” She agreed, “believe me there isn’t a man on board, and very few women for that matter, who hasn’t looked at the two of us and fantasized about joining us at least once.” She cast a glance around at the others on the bridge, there weren’t many looks in their direction. They had long ago gone public with their relationship, and as it was a quiet duty watch, it was not out of the ordinary for the two of them to show affection.
“I have given this some thought, and you know why I was reluctant to even broach the topic.” She said after a moment. “No crewmen will be allowed to participate without a complete physical examination, and full work up by Doctor Ishala to screen for any diseases or congenital anomalies. For the health of us and the babies of course.” She still kept her eyes on Laura’s, speaking softly to prevent from being overheard. “More than two disciplinary actions in the past ninety days is an automatic disqualification from participating. We tell all participants up front that the purpose is to breed us both, and also inform them that the number of participants involved is to ensure complete randomization of the identity of the fathers. All participants must sign a waiver of parental rights before being allowed to join.”
The next part was the tricky part, the part that was absolutely critical and yet the part that could lead to complications down the line if not handled properly. “We have a couple of options for handling the social repercussions as they apply to the chain of command and ships operations.” She admitted, “option one is to make it perfectly clear that the situation is a one time event, not to be brought up or attempted to hold over either of us. It would probably have a beneficial effect on morale.
Option two, all participants will be administered a class three amnestic at the conclusion of the event, so that only you, me and Doctor Ishala know what transpired.” She smiled softly. “I’ll let you choose that one, either way the entire thing is your choice. If you tell me no, I’ll drop the whole subject and we’ll look into other methods. I promise.”
She resisted the impulse to kiss her gently at that moment. She didn’t want to put any pressure on Laura at all. “If you want some time to think it over, I can go to my ready room so I’m not a distraction or an influence...” she trailed off, truly not wanting to leave her side, but she would be respectful if her wife wanted some time alone to think it over.
