I hold the blood vial in my hand as the second Wes walks out of the lab, wanting to call him back. What can I say, though? The best thing I can do right now is get the tests running, try to find out exactly what happened and then figure out how to handle it - one way or another.
Sighing, I turn and stick a little red sticker on the vial before placing it in the holder. Then I look up at Wesley. This is first time we've been alone since we walked into the reception area. Reaching out, I cup my hand to his face, gazing into his blue eyes.
"How are you doing?" I ask. I know that he can't be taking this well - I know that I wouldn't be taking this well if I saw a double of me standing there, mirroring all my gestures, all because of my girlfriend's--boyfriend's--whatever's experiment - but anything else I could possibly say sounds stupid in my head.
A part of me feels bad for my...er...twin. I know what it's like to be an outsider, and to feel regreted. Good lord, could this get anymore confusing? I'm feeling sympathy for--well--myself.
I watch Fred as she labels the vial. Finally, we're alone with no distractions. If Knox shows up again, I'm gonna knock him out. She reaches up, cupping my face in her delicate hand. She's looking at me with so much love and concern is in her eyes, it gives me pause.
"How are you doing?"
I lean my cheek into her palm, kissing it lovingly. "I'm good, considering the fact that I know how a twin running around."
I smile softly at him when he kisses my hand. That's my Wesley - always taking things in stride. "We'll figure this out, I promise."
I look over at the second needle sitting on the countertop. I want to just hold him for a while and forget what's going on, but I know we can't. We have plenty of time for that later.
"I'd better get your blood sample. Then I can get this started up."
Hooking my finger around his, I smile at him. "Always."
I have him sit down in the chair and draw a vial of blood. When I'm done, I put it in the holder next to the other Wesley's sample before turning back to him.
"For being such a good patient, you can have your choice - a kiss or a lollipop."
My grin becomes wider at his words. "Somehow, I had a feeling you would say that...which is a good thing considering that Harmony stole my last lollipop from my candy stash yesterday."
Resting my hands on his shoulders, I lower myself down to sit on his lap and lean into him to kiss him on the lips. One of my hands slips down his collarbone, under the edge of his shirt.
I know I should be getting the samples ready for analysis, but at the moment, I much prefer what I'm doing, especially when the kiss deepens. It's easy to forget everything in Wesley's arms, and I actually kinda like that.
"Somehow, I had a feeling you would say that...which is a good thing considering that Harmony stole my last lollipop from my candy stash yesterday."
I return her grin with one of my own, and I'm only slightly surprised when Fred lowers herself onto my lap, kissing me. I feel her fingers inside my shirt, moving to tangle in the hair on the back of my neck.
The kiss deepens, and I shift closer, holding her as tightly as I can. We're still adjusting to being together, and the cuddling we did on the couch in my office wasn't nearly enough. I want all of her. Now.
I slide my hands in between her lab coat, tickling my fingers along her ribcage. I'm not really trying to tickle her, necessarily. I just need to touch her.
I shudder slightly when Wesley's fingers move along underneath my breasts. Oh, god, that feels so good. My mind starts running away with me as I lean into his touch, wanting more, wanting him, wanting everything, doesn't matter where we are...
His hand slids a bit farther, and I gasp. Breaking the kiss, I look into his eyes.
"Wesley, I...if we keep this up...I don't think we'll be able to..."
Stop? I don't want to stop. Not now, not after all the time it's taken for us to finally be here. The samples suddenly really aren't that important anymore.
I don't think I've ever wanted someone more in my entire life, and he's here with me right now.

Holdin' out a fingertip, I make a faux-scared face and say, "Be gentle."
Hopefully, once she runs the tests, we'll have some answers. Or, at the very least, I'd idea of what to do next.

"Hmmm. Let me ponder that a moment. How about a kiss?"
