The Outer Moon (A Sapphic Sci Fi Adventure)

Chapter 15

There was another huge celebration when Lena arrived back in the system with Miles. Not just because they were some of the most popular people in the group, but because they had successfully gone to another solar system and returned. They had proven it could be done, and now everyone was eager to get going. For the people cramped on the ships, it also meant that some people would be going to her ship, and they could start the last leg of their journey with a little more room.

"Hey, I want the lady bits doctor on my ship, if possible," Lena said after checking out Lily. "I might be preggers and wanna know." Dr. Reid was right there, and already smiling at the woman who would be her new patient.

Emily nodded. "It makes sense. I just had my checkup, and she'd be more comfortable there than in my tiny ship."

"And you better not be as bad as my last doc. She told me I had to stop masturbating," Lena said grumpily.

Lily frowned, not knowing that Lena was just being Lena. "Trust me, I'd never make you do that. That is always a healthy thing to do."

"Thank god!" Lena said happily. "She always complained because my hand was in the way when she was examining me, but I guess our appointments will be more fun."

"Oh my God!" Lily groaned, realizing just what happened.

"Trust me Sis, she's a great doc. She helped me when my privates turned orange," Emma chimed in. There were instant snickers, and Lena looked at her kid sister to see where this was going.

"Oh? How did she handle that?"

"Well, obviously she made sure I had no allergies. I was in the military so I never take drugs, and Viv is my only partner. We're in space, but I hadn't eaten anything weird, nor gone to any tropical locations." Emma continued her story with a grin. "After that, she just asked what I'd done that weekend, to rule out anything else. I told her straight up that it was just a normal weekend of eating Cheetos and watching porn. I guess she was able to figure it out after that."

Lena chortled happily, pulling her little sister in for a hug. "I'm so glad you're here!"

"Me too. We finally get to do this stuff together."

"When are you and the little lady having some babies?" she wondered. "Or is she carrying?"

"Hold on, let's not rush that. We were only able to get a dozen cribs, so we might have to space them out until we get some made," Vanessa reminded them.

They were silent for a sobering moment before Miles spoke up. "Why don't we just take the large fox ship then? We can give it to the foxes when they're ready, but in the meantime, we could borrow some of the bunks inside there since they are well sized for cribs or kids."

"Do you think we can move it?" Pepper asked excitedly.

Miles nodded. "With our larger ships, definitely. The engines are certainly strong enough. We could probably take the remains of the Atlantis too, and a couple of the destroyer sized ones, while the smaller ships take the space stations. I think we should try at least. If the big one doesn't move, then the smaller ones certainly will, as they're smaller than our stations, and would still give us some gear since we haven't even been inside them yet." That was true, as the smaller ships didn't have the larger holes that the colony ship did, but smaller ones instead, so they never tried getting inside.

And so that is what they did. It was a good idea, and the more they thought about it, the more it made sense. As big as the ruined ships were, they'd never had a chance to visit every compartment, and so if they could bring them to the new system, then they could do so at their leisure while also depriving the prophet backed governments on Earth access to their knowledge. There would be no rush, they could get their new settlement up and running, and then have plenty of time to see if there were more secrets to unlock.
