Pulling Through

TREATMENTS

Ally got into Gus´s truck feeling miserable, she had been cramping badly during her periods, bleeding out like a f*****g open faucet and her hormones were turning her batshit crazy. Now, in the middle of her cycle, she was simply struggling not to break down completely and just start crying like a teenager or punching someone´s face, just because she was definitely feeling like hurting somebody right now.

Gus could tell she was in a pretty bad mood and simply tried to stay out of her way. But that´s a hard thing to do when you´re stuck together in the same car at the rush hour, slowly making your way to another doctor´s appointment.

-s**t!- Ally complained, looking around at the endless lines of cars ahead- I told you we should have left home earlier! We´re gonna be so late!

-Relax princess, we still have some time. Don´t worry. Besides, he always makes us wait for at least half an hour anyway.

-Yeah… I know- Ally said, dropping herself back into her seat- I just hate traffic.

-Me too baby, me too- he replied, squeezing her hand briefly.

They continued driving that way for another ten minutes, before Gus finally found an exit and got the hell out of there, speeding through back streets. So, when they arrived at the doctor´s office, they still had five minutes to spare.

For another forty minutes they remained sitting and waiting. Ally was starting to nod off when her name was finally called and they stood up, their muscles numb and stiff due to the lack of movement.

She put the gown on and removed her panties in a mechanical way, then she went to lay down on the chair, feeling the pressure of the probe entering her v****a as she held to Gus´s hand.

-Ok- the gyn spoke after a while, still moving the device within her uterus- It seems that this time we´ve managed to make a couple follicles grow enough for ovulation to happen.

Ally smirked and turned to look at Gus, who was also smiling widely and looking at the ultrasound´s screen.

-So, what´s next Doc?- he asked, looking at him.

-Well- he replied, finally taking the bloody thing out of her and directing his attention to him- Your sperm count came out fine, so now, you must have s****l intercourse for the next couple days and we´ll see what happens.

They drove home in silence, Ally staring at the window and feeling her heart race. She felt as nervous as if they were doing this for the first time.

He grabbed her hand and led her upstairs, rushing himself to open the door and shoving her inside. He took her clothes off as they walked to their room, laying her on their bed. His fingers grazing her mount and massaging her core until she was ready for him.

-Ok love… doctor´s orders- he smiled at her as he positioned himself at her entrance and started guiding his member inside.

She closed her eyes as she felt her walls parting and welcoming him. He moved slowly within her, his hands running delicately through her breasts, his mouth kissing her lips softly as he melted into her body.

Ally held to his forearms and focused on the deepness of his movements, ever so certain, ever so insanely pleasurable. She felt her core tighten around him as she pushed her hips up to him, meeting every thrust and moaning in response.

He slowed down a little and took his time exploring her, gently making love to her for a long time, driving her crazy with the every orgasm he gave her as she shook uncontrollably below his body, his shaft coated in her fluids as it came and went inside her, putting her in a trance.

She kissed him fiercely, taking in each of his lunges, feeling her juices drip down her thighs and gather on the sheets, pooling below her rear.

-Fill me now! – she cried, digging her nails into his back and pulling him against her pussy

-Oh God! Yes!- he groaned and she finally felt his seed being shot into her womb.

He stayed inside her for a while, running his fingers through her hair, playing with her breasts and kissing her lips.

When he got off her, she remained sprawled on the bed, unable to move for some time.

-C´mon princess- he said after a moment- let´s take a shower, I told Lauren we´d be there at six, so we don’t have much time.

They reached the door and Gus went to ring the bell. They waited for a moment, Ally holding a bowl of potato salad and him a bottle of wine. The knob rattled after a moment and Lauren opened it with a wide smile.

-Hey guys!- she hugged them both briefly- Glad you could make it! Come in!

They entered the classy house, Gus and Lauren striking directly into conversation and Ally headed herself to the kitchen where she put the bowl down on the counter.

-Hey!- she said, smiling at Christie, who was sitting on a stool, her elbows resting on the kitchen bar- Happy Birthday girl!

She gave her a side hug and produced a small box from her purse and put it in her hands

-This is from me and Gus- she explained smiling at her- C´mon open it!

Christie removed the wrapping slowly and uncovered the box, then she extracted a black 3D printing pen. She smiled widely for a second, before her eyes glazed. She put it back into the box and set it aside, resting her head back on her elbows.

Ally frowned and went to grab another stool, sitting across from her.

-What is it Christie? - she asked, scanning her face- How are you doing?

Christie exhaled a deep breath and adjusted herself a little on her seat.

-I don´t know Ally- she finally uttered- I feel kind of numb the whole time and I´m not enjoying much of anything right now... it´s starting to get in our way, I know Lauren feels it too. She´s been trying so hard, but… I just don´t know if we´ll be able to survive this.

Ally reached for her hand and gave it a little squeeze.

-It´s ok girl, nobody said it would be easy, but you have a good support group, just don´t give up. It´s gonna be fine.

Christie sighed and held her hand tightly.

I know Ally, I do. It´s just… it is hard. I had to make so many changes, I had to quit drinking, I had to quit smoking, and that has been quite a struggle on its own. I gave up on so many things already, and the ones I didn´t, they just seem to be slipping through my fingers anyway...My love for my profession, my future with Lauren, my s*x drive...My joy to live.

-Hey, look at me- Ally said, pulling her chin up- You´re going to get all that back, you´re just adjusting. We can always talk to your psychiatrist, ask for some change in your dosage. It is all still too recent, girl. They´re still figuring this out, hun.

-What if they never do, Ally? What if they never find the correct balance for me? Cause right now all what this treatment is doing is making me feel like s**t.

Ally stood up and gave her a big hug.

-They will, don´t worry. And trust me, I know first-hand how miserable treatments can make you and how frustrating they can get, but we´re pulling through girl, you´ll see.

- I really hope you´re right, Ally- she sniffled.
