Sex Cultures: 6th Period

Grissom greets the class with a nice, long lecture on polyamorous relationship structures ~~and cupcakes.~~

"Let's keep our discussion away from the validity of the arrangement, and instead reflect on the legal issues that arise. How do you feel about these issues, and if you were in charge of drafting legal policy, what would that look like in this case?"

Homework: "Find an example of a society or culture that incorporates polyamory and bring it to class.

Also, you're welcome to join the field trip tomorrow to the Body Farm ~~although even I can't come up with a logical reason why the Sex class would come, save for an overall spirit of inclusion.~~ if you so desire, although it is not mandatory. Don't wear anything you're particularly attached to, believe me."

"I do know that, Gil. And trust me--if I thought otherwise, I would've already kicked your ass. Not to mention what the Vegas crew would do afterwards." She chuckles, kissing his cheek.

"Depending on how things go, we may have to do separate moves." She sighs at the thought.

"They'd never find my body," he chuckles with her, lips curving up into a smile at her kiss.

"I'm not okay with you being alone in a new town by yourself. Not because you can't take care of yourself, but because I'd give myself an ulcer and a five hundred dollar cell phone bill. I'll commute, I'll buy a car, take a plane, ride a camel..."

She bursts out laughing. "Okay, okay, point taken. It looks like Tropolis is about 45 minutes from here or so. That's a reasonable commuting distance, I think."

"Well, we'll see how you're feeling and everything else. I don't want you to be under any more stress than necessary. You need to gain some weight, and if you're still sick half of every day and worried about everything else... we'll figure it out."

Her hand still lingering in his, he squeezes her fingers softly. "How's that rice?"

"Staying down, which makes it my new favorite food," she says dryly.

"I'll send in the paperwork to the publishing company and my new partners--I won't be the only author, of course. And I'll schedule a meeting with the principal. I guess I should give finals next week--damn my students are going to be angry. I'll tell them tomorrow."

"They'll understand. How many teachers have disappeared without notice around here? At least you have a more than legitimate reason. You have an embryo with a beating heart growing inside of you. By April she'll have fingers," he says with a soft sigh. "That's a lot of work."

"She? Do you know something I don't?" A gentle, teasing smile.

He gives her a mock scowl.

"I feel uncomfortable referring to the baby as 'it' constantly. And it's too soon to know the gender, whether we want to know or not. So I went with the basic system of referring to a ship or other vessel."

"I was just teasing, Gil." Another kiss to his cheek and she begins cleaning up their refuse.

"I'll miss this place, in a way."

"This office has had its share of good memories," he smiles.

"The town, too. It's been an extraordinary experience."

"Very much so." Her ring glints in the lighting in the office.

"I'll see you at home, okay?"

"Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home."

He leans into her, resting his hand on the small of her back for a moment as he kisses her forehead. "Bye."
