In Hack for Christmas, Part 2
Author: Maximus
(Lady) That sounds terrible. You are pregnant by a man that you are not in love with?
(S) Oh, I didn’t say that. I love him more than life itself but he has not been able to completely commit to me. I have never understood what his problem is because I could not ask for a better man as my husband.
(Lady) It sounds like you have made your choice to be with him. Does he treat you good?
(S) Yes he does. He is afraid we will be separated if they find out about our love. We work together in a navy legal office aboard ship and have always been there for each other, even while I dated other guys before we became an item. He has stuck by me so many times and I have been there for him also.
But now, the baby I am carrying will start to show soon and the truth will come out even if we want it to or not.
(Lady) Are you giving thought to ending the pregnancy to solve the problem?
(S) No way. Even though we need a solution to the problem, that choice is not even open to discussion. Harm would never even entertain such a thought and neither would I. That is part of the reason we are going to meet with his mother to get her council as to what to do.
(Lady) What does she think about you being pregnant by her son before marriage?
(S) I am not sure. I have only met her a couple times and she always treated me like family.
(Lady) I hope things work out for you because I can relate to your anguish. The man next to me is my father who has full blown Alzheimer’s. He and my mother made decisions for me back when I was 17 and pregnant. “Good girls” didn’t get knocked up back then.
Since I was in my teenage years, I was sent to my aunt’s place to quietly have the kid…………and give it away. Sarah, I can tell you, there has never been a day I haven’t thought of that little girl, wondering how her life turned out. There was a time when I would have paid any amount to have found her and tell her I have loved her. But real life has a way of making some crooked paths straight by bringing other people together. I married and had 40 years with Robert who gave me 3 wonderful sons. I would not trade my life for all the other types of happiness in the world.
It took a while before I realized that the Supreme Being was actually the one in charge and his plan was to be carried out by me. I have not understood everything but I trust he does. I trust that a little girl was loved and gave love to someone making this old world a better place to live……..all because of what I did.
Even though I have hated my father for what he demanded of me, I came to terms with it when I had to start feeding him his meals and bathing him. I now have an opportunity to love him enough to take care of him for the time he has left.
I guess the moral of the story is that I have found that LOVE is what makes everything so very worth while. You need to fight for it, demand it in your relationships and give it freely when you trust those receiving it. It might not always be perfect but nothing will ever even come close to being better.
(S) I keep forgetting that life goes on and give us chances to love so many good people in our families.
(Lady) What would happen if your man marries you before you have the child?
(S) Well for one, he would make me look better in the eyes of our command. I would not be looked at as a promiscuous woman. One of us would be transferred leaving me to raise the child alone and us living apart for long periods of time.
(Lady) Could one of you quit? Would it be worth it?
(S) I guess we might be able to. There is a program for mothers who need to be with their children full time. I would hate for him to retire because he is well respected in his job and is up for promotion and I would hate to have him give it all up for me and the baby.
(Lady) Would he retire if you asked him to?
(S) Without a second thought. I must be very careful about what I ask him to do because I know he would try to move mountains for me if he thought I needed it.
(Lady) You answered so quickly even though you admitted earlier that you didn’t understand what kept him from committing fully to you. It sounds like major commitment to me.
(S) Yes I did, but I know my man. He has put himself on the line more times than I can count for those that matter to him.
(Lady) So what you are saying is that you are one of those people? Are you at the top of his list?
(S) I am one of those people but we have had problems at time because of my jealousy when I wondered if I was the top of his list. I have been with him so many times as he intervened for others, when he did it for me, I reacted like it was no big deal because I had seen him do it for so many.
I am ashamed to tell you, it really was a “big deal” and I let it pass without even a “thank you” to the greatest man I have ever known. He hasn’t called me on that but I really wish he would because more than a “thank you” is owed.
(Lady) So what is the problem? Can’t you talk to him like you have talked to me?
(S) We talk but not about what is still hanging out there. Some of my love affairs that happened before I knew how strongly he felt about me have been construed by him as a personal affront aimed by me to embarrass and destroy him. Even though I know he loves me, I am not sure he trusts me, if he ever did.
(Lady) Did you ever do those things on purpose to hurt him?
(S) Yea, I admit that I have tried to make him jealous at times. All I wanted was for him to get his head out of the sand and claim me for his own………….for once. I wanted him to stand up and shout “She is mine. Leave her alone or deal with me.”
Now a couple years later, I understand that it should have been me doing the shouting “Leave me alone because I belong to Harm.” I now understand that I need to live my life in such a way so Harm will not have to fight for me all the time. We are soon going to be parents and fighting for each other should only be required in dire situations. I know he would fight for me if needed and now he will have a little one to fight for. I admit that I have acted like a child even though I am 35 years old and I am not proud of any of it.
You asked what the problem was, well I guess it has been more me than him. I know I have a major clean up job ahead of me ……..but I know he is worth all of the effort.
(Lady) It sounds like you are forming a plan that might include a solution.
Damn, can you feel that? What is happening? Whoa, I’ve got a flat tire. Hold on. Hold on.
Harm becomes alert and goes on guard duty.
(H) Try to make it to that open space ahead so we can change the tire. Get past the snow if you can. Where are we?
(S) We went thru Morgantown a few minutes ago.
(Lady) We are about 20 miles from home just in case we can’t change it. I am a member of AAA.
She skillfully pulled off at the right place and was on frozen earth away from the traffic.
Harm got out and went looking for the spare and jack and found both in the trunk. The lady suggested he use her husband’s old field jacket in the truck to keep his blues clean and he agreed. He took his time and changed the tire while everyone else stayed warm in the car. After stowing the bad tire, he took the field jacket off and joined everyone else in the car. The lady handed him some wet wipes from the dash and he cleaned his hands while they talked. After buckling up, they were back on the road.
The lady explained that she lived a couple miles east of the interchange at Fairmont and suggested she leave them at the Race Trac gas station where they might catch a new ride and Harm and Sarah agreed. Sarah thanked her for her good advice and they said their thank-you’s as they retrieved their covers and bags and quickly went into the station as the lady left.
(S) Did you stay awake the whole time?
(H) I heard every word that was said, especially by you.
(S) I meant it. I ad-libbed some of the facts but you got the drift, didn’t you?
(H) Sarah, you are one incredible lady.
(S) I wish you were right. But……I am trying hard to be.
(H) Lets go to the bathroom before we have something to eat. I am big-time hungry and my hands are dirty.
They met back outside the restrooms a few minutes later and headed for the restaurant. They both chose the steak and baked potato as the right food to fight against the cold. They enjoyed themselves and noticed a Petty Officer 3rd Class sitting with what looked like his parents a few booths down. They were interrupted, as they were choosing a desert, by the man which had been seated with the 3rd Class.
(Man) My name is J.J. Anderson and I noticed you both had seabags when you arrived. Did you have problems with you car?
(H) We did earlier. We left it in Frederick Maryland so it could be repaired and we are now trying to return to pick it up before returning to the ship.
(JJ) I see you are both from the Henry and are both with the JAG corps. How many years have you been in chief?
(H) Almost 19 years. Sarah, my partner, has been in 15 years.
(JJ) If you need a ride, I can get you part of the way.
(H) That would be great if it wouldn’t be a problem for you.
(JJ) No problem at all, but it does come with a cost.
(S) Oh, what is that about?
(JJ) While as our guest, you must call me JJ and my wife Dorothy is Dotty to her friends. OK?
(S) Sounds great. I’m Sarah and the big guy is Harm.
(JJ) Well Harm, how are you with deer hunting?
(H) I have hunted some but not this trip. Why do you ask?
(JJ) That’s where we are going for the holidays. We have a family farm in Scotland, just north of Chambersburg Pa, that is right off I-81. If you would stay overnight with us, you could join the hunt with me on the farm tomorrow morning and we could have you both on I-81, right after lunch, heading back to get your car. I would trust hunting with a Navy man more than I trust the locals.
(H) It really sounds like fun but I didn’t come prepared to hunt. We only have our dress blues packed this trip. We would be imposing with sleeping conditions and many other things.
(JJ) Nonsense. You have never met my wife. You two will not be a problem at all. The house is already open and fresh ready to use. I have a son in the Navy that is about your same size and you can use his hunting things and even his rifle. I don’t want to sound desperate but it is too cold out there to be hunting alone and I really wanted to get my deer early in the morning.
(H) I think we can manage that but I need to talk to Sarah first. I can even drive for a while if it will help.
(JJ) Not necessary, my driver, Mike, the 3rd class, already has that covered. Take your time talking to the misses and we can go when you are ready.
(H) Thank you. We will be right with you, I am sure.
Harm explained and Sarah agreed, gathered her things and they followed Mr. and Mrs. Anderson to the car which turned out to be a Black Navy Limo flying a blue flag with 3 white stars. They both automatically came to attention as they approached the car.
(JJ) Belay all that. Remember JJ and Dotty.
(H) Aye aye sir.
After getting underway, Harm commented on the flag with three stars and found Vice Admiral J.J. Anderson to be the Navy Inspector General which had his office not far from JAG in D.C.
After about 30 minutes of talking and getting comfortable with everyone, JJ broke out the double deck of pinochle cards and pulled the table in place. The Andersons took it easy on Harm and Sarah for the first 3 hands as they assimilated the rules and remembered how the game was played. After that, everyone played for points and the win. It was really great to have the 3rd class doing the driving as they enjoyed the game. Dotty proved to be a master of the game and proved to be the one to beat.
Everyone talked as they played and both couples learned a lot about each other as they played. JJ kept it very friendly and easy to deal with.
Nightfall came as everyone enjoyed the scenery of the hills and streams along the way. They stopped in Chambersburg at the best restaurant in town according to Dotty and had a good meal and geared down from the day’s travel.
The final trip to the farm took a few minutes more and the house was much more than expected with its 5 bedrooms with individual bathrooms. Harm and Sarah retrieved their things and was directed to the bedroom at the south end of the house since the others were at the north end. They thanked their hosts and excused themselves saying their day had been long and demanding.
Harm and Sarah made cell phone calls to make sure Mattie was all right and the Roberts were OK. They told them where they were for reference. Sarah took her shower first as Harm went to the den where the Admiral’s son’s clothing and rifle were and picked those items he needed and a semi automatic 270 with a box of ammo. He returned to the room and tried on items to make sure they would fit. He checked the 270 over and verified it was empty and the bore was clean and unobstructed. He pulled the cover from the scope and found it adequate.
Sarah opened the bathroom door and watched Harm as he finished checking the rifle. As she came closer, Harm turned finding Sarah only in her birthday suit. He took in all of her body before speaking:
(H) I hope you didn’t have plans of leaving the room dressed like that.
(S) No. I’m dressed for “our talk.”
(H) Sarah, even though I heard everything you said today, I guess I need to say “not tonight, honey, I’m tired.” I need a few more hours to digest everything you said. I promise it will be tomorrow.
(S) I’m completely naked in front of you and all you can say is “not tonight honey ?”
Harm, that’s not going to get it………this time! Tonight I need something from you because I bared my soul and completely opened myself to you today. If you won’t have intercourse with me, what are you going to offer me?
(H) Everything but. Forget your nightie and I will forget my boxers so we can both find what we have been missing.
(S) So, the only reason for us not to “do it” tonight is we need to talk and get rid of all our baggage first………..and then we can take the final step……….together?
(H) Yes, that is the master plan ………………if we can chuck the baggage for the last time.
(S) So, you are still not sure?
(H) No Sarah. WE are still not sure. When we finish tomorrow night we will be either joined for life or apart from each other forever. We are finally going to make or break our relationship with no return possible. Serious stuff, if you ask me.
(S) I accept you offer. Please get your shower because we have waited 7 years for this and you are now keeping us waiting again.
(H) Anxious are we? It’s only 21:00.
(S) Yea, I am feeling empowered also. You have to be up to go hunting at 05:00 and it doesn’t leave us much time. Get in the shower……………..pretty please…..with sugar on it. Please.
Harm didn’t take long to shower for obvious reasons and returned to the bedroom as Sarah was sitting on the bed combing out her long hair. He positioned himself on the bed in such a way so he could kiss or touch her anywhere he chose. He touched and felt her body as she combed giving special attention to her breasts as they moved about. She pushed into his hands as she enjoyed all of his touching. She continued combing until it became impossible due to the totally frazzled state she found herself in. She had moved to the tops of mountains and beyond as she overflowed in total release due to his masterful efforts. She turned into his embrace and fell into him so he could hold and protect her as she soared higher.
There was a lot of talk and discussion about their love as she came back down to earth. She became more aggressive in her feeling and touching and both were having fun finding out more about each other’s bodies. Sarah started to snooze first and Harm soon followed. He awoke around 00:43 to a different sensation finding Sarah fulfilling one of her fantasies about him. She had him very hard and was using her mouth to coax and extract everything from him that she could possibly get.
(H) Your having all the fun, what about me?
(S) I’ll wait a minute if you want to turn around.
(H) Yes, wait for me.
As he got into position, she moved her legs for him and they both got busy. He warned her when the time was almost up and she just held on more firmly and took what he gave her. It ended up not being one-sided as he made a special effort to bring her along for her second time. They both had a laughing bout as they both ended up in the bathroom cleaning up. Both had received much more than anticipated resulting in some surplus.
Getting back in bed, two naked bodies tangled and twisted trying to find a safe way to be in each other’s skin without going all the way and at the same time go to sleep. Yea, fat chance.
When Harm woke at 05:00, he wasn’t sure how much sleep he had had but knew touching and feeling her was always going to be more important than sleep for the rest of his life. His morning got better as he turned seeing those brown eyes looking into his. Knowing that she was here and enjoying this as much as he was very important to him. There was no miscommunication this morning. He wanted her and she wanted him. He needed her and she needed him. He loved her and she loved him. Wow, there it is. The big L word. I guess it’s time.
(H) I love you Sarah. Go back to sleep.
(S) Love you too. Have fun hunting.
(H) I’m looking forward to bagging you.
(S) Me too, after we talk. OK?
(H) You got it. Go back to sleep.
He dressed in the insulated long johns, pants, and shirt before kissing her again before leaving.
(S) Use some mouthwash because you taste like me from last night, not that I mind one bit.
(H) Thanks.
He took a slug of mouthwash before he left. He laced up his boots at the table as JJ brought donuts and bagels to go with the hot coffee. JJ explained where they were going to start as the 3rd class brought the old farm truck out front. They checked their rifles and made sure they had the right ammo since JJ was carrying a 30-30. They got in the bed of the pickup as the driver received his instructions. He took them thru the fields up close to the woods. Harm and JJ got out and confirmed their cell phones were on vibrate making sure that the 3rd class was going to be awaiting their call from the house. They stood for a minute talking about where to settle until dawn and Harm made a decision:
(H) Sir, I want to come clean with you because I feel as if I am showing dishonor to your rank. Sarah and I have been on an undercover assignment posing as enlisted people for the past few days. We are actually senior attorneys serving under Admiral Chegwidden at JAG Headquarters in Falls Church. I am a Navy Commander and Sarah is a Lt. Colonel in the Marine Corps.
We are indeed partners and confidentially in love with each other. We did not intend to mislead you but I guess it looked that way.
(JJ) I wondered if you were going to tell me before you left. Dotty figured it out last night and she showed me the recruiting poster you were in. I actually was on the committee that approved that whole promotional program. You work for AJ? How is that old dog?
(H) Doing fine for an old seal, I guess.
(JJ) We did some time together. That man has some kind of major brass but I imagine you already found that out.
(H) Yes, we have had our moments.
(JJ) No harm, no foul. I am sure you meant no harm or disrespect. You had a job to do. Why did you tell me?
(H) I know we will see each other in DC and I didn’t want you to think we were trying to deceive you. If Sarah and I marry, one of us might need to talk to you about a job if you need a good attorney over at IG.
(JJ) No problem. Dotty and I assumed you were together when nothing was said about separate sleeping arrangements last night.
(H) On another matter, since you grew up around here you might know if they require a 3 day waiting period before getting married.
