July 2020:

Working on the main thrust of the story, hit a key branch point, the reveal if Noriko is pregnant or not. Couple ways this could go, would love to hear in comments what people want to see, can't promise I'll use the ideas, but I try to incorporate suggestions.

Looking to the future, a few other ideas I'm toying with.

* Noriko is pregnant. Do they hide it from Suki? If they come clean, how does Suki react? What's the fallout?

* Noriko isn't pregnant. They keep going on behind Suki's back. Do they get outed? Who outs them? If Alex does he want some action also? If Suki, how does she react?

* Suki winds up pregnant by Alex. Can she convince John it's his to protect Alex?

Longer term I'm also thinking how to wind these stories together, both women winding up preggers and being outed is the easiest way, but what other ways could the stories get interwoven?

What do you think?
