This choice: You're agreeing, but you want her exclusive rights! • Go Back...Chapter #5You're agreeing, but you want her exclusive... by: Texienne "I'll do it, but I want your exclusive rights."
She is really surprised at first, and she blushes again. Then she giggles a little. "I bet you don't know what you're asking."
You thought you understood, so you ask, "You said it means neither of us can have a baby with someone else until you have mine."
Her eyes are still laughing, but she keeps herself serious. "Yeah that's true. But I guess you're gonna find out, so I should go ahead and tell you. If we show up at City Hall and I say I'm giving my rights to you, you can just tell them you're taking my exclusive rights. I can only refuse to give non-exclusive rights. If I offer my rights and you tell them its exclusive, I don't have a choice in the matter."
"What is up with these weird laws?"
"The females of the Bgiii, the aliens who started this civilization aren't intelligent creatures. Only the males are. So instead of marriage laws, they have breeding rights for livestock. The only adjustment they make for races with intelligent females is that the female owns herself instead of her father or some other guy."
You shake your head. "Okay. But what do you mean, I don't know what I'm asking?"
She giggles again. "First, if you ask for exclusive rights, you're asking for the baby. For the Bgiii, it's the difference between volunteering to be a breeder for some other guy's house, or getting a new member of your own. They have another level, where you buy the female outright, but I'm not interested in selling myself, so forget it.
"Selling yourself… you aren't talking about prostitution when you say that."
"Nope, I meant it literally. Some humans do it as the equivalent of marriage.
, and I'm not interested. But we humans treat the 'getting a new member for your own house level as you taking responsibility to raise and support the baby. For example, my mom raised me and my brother and our dads just helped out, but legally we were their dependents, not hers. I really just want my own baby, so you don't have to do that."
Actually, you kind of feel like you do have to do that, just because it would take a real jerk not to. You sort of understand now why the guys she meets all already have exclusive rights; the women want to insure the baby gets support. So you wonder, "Is that all? I mean, if you're planning to raise a baby and exclusive rights means I have to help you, what's wrong with that?"
She looks pleased with that answer, but she goes on. "Second, I told you that for Earthers and others like us, you will be seriously hated by everyone if you don't exercise them when I ask. You can exercise them before I do, but everyone will consider you an asshole if you leave me hanging, right?"
"Yeah."
"So if you take exclusive rights, it kind of goes triple. Everyone feels you should get me pregnant immediately when I ask, so that I'm free to date again. So if you told me to wait and others found out, you would probably get taken into dark alleys and beaten up a bunch of times. People really hate it when you do stuff like that."
Whoa, you think.
It's the stop for City Hall, which turns out to be a building that looks like a hundred story tall version of the US Capitol building. A constant stream of creatures of all kinds of species are entering and exiting.
"I sort of feel like the way you said 'first' and 'second' that there's a 'third'."
"There sure is," she giggles. "You see, I've only got three months left to get pregnant."
You stop, completely gobsmacked. The alien who had been walking behind you, another one of the giraffe looking critters, makes a rude chewbacca noise at you as he passes.
"Huh?"
"It's one of the problems with having laws for livestock getting applied to you. The authorities decide what age females of each species are supposed to reproduce by. If they get to that age without getting pregnant, they're declared 'non-productive'. Bgiii females get slaughtered and used for animal feed, but fortunately they changed the law for intelligent females. We're still in violation of the law though, and if some male has exclusive rights on us when it happens, he's also in violation and he gets the same punishment as we do."
After thinking about what she just said, you say, "So you're totally planning to get pregnant right away, aren't you?"
She nodded. "That's why I want to give you non-exclusive rights. You don't have to worry supporting a baby right away, and if it doesn't work out for me, you won't be punished."
"So what kind of punishment is it?"
"It can be different things, but usually the girl is sentenced to three years community service. But for a girl with human genetics, that service is gonna be either in a whorehouse or in some rich asshole's harem or sometimes inter-species breeding experiments."
"That's 'Community Service'?" you boggle.
Another nod. She doesn't seem to find it as crazy as you do. "Girls with human ancestry are a very hot commodity, even halfies like me. Aliens think we're the best sex around. But I'm more worried about your punishment. You would probably be doing hard labor. So, no exclusive rights, okay? Just breed the fuck out of me and make me pregnant."
With an amazing babe like her putting the request like that, it would be difficult to turn down. In fact, you know you won't be turning it down. However, you want to make sure you're part of her life somehow when she's dealing with the baby. How to do it? indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
