Chapter 5

Earth 2

Time moves slower on Earth 2 for some reason. Only a week had passed. They had the family meeting without Toni because she was indifferent to everyone. Janet had Dr. Badu to explain exactly what was going on. The kids were another story. Jaylen understood but Tera didn't, she just wanted her Mommy.

Toni was still hearing Janet's voice in her head and now she was hearing Tamar's too. It was odd to hear the voice of the two people closest to her. She knew from the voices that Tamar was going on tour and Janet was pregnant but scared. She wanted so much to go back to her Earth but she couldn't her brain wasn't healed yet. She stuck in a place she didn't want to be, but she decided to try to make the best of it. Janet was patient and nice to her even though she knew sometimes she was being a bitch.

Today she decided to cook dinner just to do something nice for the kids and Janet. Janet would sometimes look at her with a look of lust. Toni didn't know how to take it. She had never been with a woman on her earth. She could definitely see the appeal, even a pregnant Janet was a beautiful woman. Her smile was infectious and she was so goofy. So much like Toni's best friend. Toni missed her family, Kenny and friends.

Toni met earth 2's Gil. He was more than a character, apparently he was the same on every planet.

"So, miss Toni how are you?"

"I'm good. Doing as best as I can be. I think I'll do something nice for Janet and the kids today. Do you happen to know their favorite foods?"

"J likes seafood. Any seafood you cook she'll be happy but then again I don't know because the baby been having her eating weird shit. The kids they love burgers and sweet potato fries."

"Great, do you mind calling Janet for me?"

Gil went in his purse and grab his phone to facetime Janet. Janet picked up after the second ring.

"Hey Gilly-Pooh, what's up?"

"I'm with Toni at your house. She would like to ask you something." He handed Toni the phone.

"Hey Janet, I wanted to say first I'm sorry for being a pain in the butt. Second I would like to ask you what you'd like for dinner?"

"Well the baby has me craving a big juicy burger, with some shrimp and fries."

"You're in luck I'm making you and the kids burgers for dinner. Yes, I'm making your shrimp on the side too." Toni smiled and handed Gil the phone.

"See you soon J."

"I should be there in about an hour. I have a stop to make before picking up the kids." She hung up the call. Janet wondered how long it would be before Toni started to be a little more comfortable. She was surprised that she wanted to cook dinner for them but she wasn't turning down food. This pregnancy was kicking her butt, all she ever wanted to do was sleep.

Arriving home after picking up the kids Gil was with Toni in the kitchen. Janet came rushing in because she had to pee. Gil busted out laughing. Toni looked up, Janet was moving so fast all she saw was the back of her shirt. Toni laughed also, she could only imagine how it felt to have another human being growing inside you. On her earth she had never been pregnant and hoped to have one or two kids with Kenny.

"Sorry guys, this kid is dancing on my bladder." Janet came back with a laugh.

"So we got a little dancer in there, huh?" Gill said rubbing her belly. "Let's hope this one takes after you."

"What do you mean Gil?" Toni innocently asked.

"Jaylen and Tera come here for a second." The kids appeared quickly and looked inquisitively at their mothers and Gil. "Mommy wants to hear you guys sing."

"What song Mama?" Jaylen asked Toni.

"Jesus Loves Me," Janet quickly interjected. Jaylen and Tera began to sing the song, it was amazing the talent these two little souls possessed at such young ages. Now Janet could sing but not like Toni and her family. The kids definitely took after them. Jaylen reminded Janet of Michael when they were kids he also looked just like the Jackson boys.

The kids had sung the song so beautifully that both Janet and Toni had tears in their eyes. Gil was just watching in amazement.

"That was so beautiful babies. Go get washed up for dinner. Jay make sure your sister doesn't use all the soap."

"Okay Mom," Jaylen said as he took Tera hand.

Toni turned to Janet and Just spoke one word. "Wow."

"We created those two. I still in awe every time I hear them sing." Janet smiled at Toni. "Hey Gilly, are you staying for dinner?"

"Sure, if you guys don't mind?" He looked at them. He knew that the Toni in front of him wasn't the Toni he was used to but he couldn't deny the attraction he felt between Janet and Toni. He was wondering how Janet was dealing with not being able to touch her wife. He knew she needed sex life the air she breathes. Gil had lost count on how many times he had walked in on her and Toni doing something freaky.

They all sat down to dinner, everyone enjoyed what Toni had cooked. It tasted wonderful. Janet and Gil offered to clean up the kitchen. Toni opted to watch some cartoons with the kids and then put them to bed. Toni was changing the longer she stayed in this body.

"Queen, how are you holding up with no sex?"

"I'm barely holding on. Fingers and toys can only do so much. I miss my wife. I miss having her next to me, touching me, kissing me. And these damn pregnancy hormones are not helping. You thought I was a nympho before, HONEY, you just don't wan to know."

"Damn. Queen. I feel for you. I been in a drought since Todd went on tour with Beyonce. I miss him so much."

"So is he the one?"

"I think so J. He lights up my life, he's so kind and thoughtful."

"Gilly Boo, I'm so happy for you. Tell Todd I said hello the next time you speak with him."

"I sure will. Well Queen I think we are done. I'll head on home now." He looked around the kitchen that they had finished cleaning it looked as if it hadn't even been used except for the sound of the dishwasher.

Toni had come into the kitchen when Gil asked Janet about sex. She quickly retreated but stayed within earshot, so that she could hear Janet's response. She knew Janet was a true freak, even on other earths some things never changed. Toni wondered how she could help Janet. On her earth Toni had only been attracted to men and had no idea what having sex with a woman was like but she kind of wondered. She quickly walked away after hearing Janet's answer and got the kids ready for bed. She didn't know if she was ready to be intimate with Janet but she was well aware of the sexual energy her Earth 2 wife gave off every day.

"Bye Queen, Toni talk to you later and love you babies." Gil yelled while on his way out the door. He would have to have a talk with Toni soon to see how she felt about Janet.

Janet walked slowly to her bedroom, once inside she stripped all her clothes off and took a shower. After washing thoroughly a few times she did her nighttime face and teeth routine. She was horny but she didn't even bother touching herself because she craved the touch of her wife. She was going to have to tell Grace about her frustrations. She couldn't keep holding on to this, holding stuff in was why she was going to therapy in the first place. As she drifted off to sleep all she could think about was her wife and wondered if she would ever come back.
