Hello all! I'm back! Sorry the sequel took so long to start, life can be a writer's greatest distraction sometimes. :). Thank you all for reviewing my story, and for the helpful suggestions on the baby names. As the story before it, this one will be dedicated to Russell Johnson. This will be rated K+, considering that everything that involves Mary Ann and the Professor must be done tastefully. Enjoy!
Professor Roy Hinkley sighed, shuffling through the stack of papers before him. He was in the middle of a new experiment, and he felt he was at a dead end. He stood up and paced around the room, trying to piece together the muddled research and formulas. He stopped at his door, smiling as he read the plaque hanging above him. "Professor Roy Hinkley: UCLA staff." He walked back to his desk, and sat down, reliving old memories. It had been one heck of a ride, that's for sure. After they had all gotten off of the island, the castaways had been bombarded by the media. Interview after interview had been conducted, when all Roy wanted to do was go back to his research, and avoid the limelight completely. Ginger and the Howells of course, were perfectly comfortable with it. Ginger used all the publicity to promote her new movie, "The Ginger Grant Story." It would be premiering in a few weeks, with both Rock Hudson and Cary Grant starring as two of the men.
As for the Howells, they went back to living their high society life, though they certainly had changed their views on what was really important. They started their own charity foundation, and also built two brand new schools for the underprivileged in LA and Boston. The Howells had also given a large amount of their fortune to all of their fellow castaways, helping them to kick start their lives again. The Skipper started his own tourism business, with a little help from the Howells. He now took people on three hour tours to their beloved island. The Skipper met a nice woman named Joanna on one of his tours, and they had been married shortly after. They now had one little girl, named Hope, and spent most of their time in their little house near the Hawaiian Coast.
As for Gilligan, well, he decided to stay on dry land for awhile. As hard as it was for him to leave the Skipper's side, he decided it was time to set off on his own. He tried many different occupations. He even was offered a nice position at one of Mr. Howell's corporations, but he still remained unhappy and unfulfilled. One day however, he met this young girl named Andrea, and they hit it off immediately. Andrea was a elementary schoolteacher, so Gilligan went back to college to get his teaching degree, in order to stay by his girlfriend's side. A few months later, the two were married, and have been happily together for 5 months now. They honeymooned on the island, and now use it as a vacation home, since Gilligan couldn't bear to part with it completely. They frequently visit the Skipper and his family, and stay in close touch with the other castaways.
The professor was interrupted from his flashbacks by a knock on the door. Somewhat irritably, he muttered, "Yes? Who is it?" The door opened, and a lovely young lady stepped through the door, carrying a tray full of food. "Someone's in a good mood," she laughed. Roy's grin grew a mile wide, and he leapt out of his chair, placed the food on his desk, and gathered his wife in his arms. "I am now!" He said somewhat cheekily. "And to what do I owe the pleasure of this visit, Mrs. Mary Ann Hinkley?" He asked jokingly. Mary Ann smiled and smacked his arm lightly. "Oh come off it Mr. Hoity-Toity. You know I love to come visit you at work." She said sarcastically, earning a kiss from her adoring husband. After finally breaking apart, the couple sat down and proceeded to have lunch, talking about the ins and outs of their day.
Finally, Mary Ann said, "I talked to Gilligan this morning." She said excitedly. Roy looked at her, his eyebrows raised. "Funny, I was just thinking about them earlier. What did he say?" He asked, curious to find out why Mary Ann was positively glowing. "Andrea is pregnant! Her and Gilligan are going to have a baby!" She gushed, squeezing her husband's hand. Roy's eyes grew wide, and he got a huge smile on his face. "That's..., Amazing news. Our Gilligan will make a fine father!" He said happily. "And that's not all," Mary Ann said, laughing. "Gilligan asked us to be the godparents! I know, I thought it was going to be the Skipper and Joanna, but Gilligan said that the Skipper wanted us to do it! Isn't that amazing?" She finished excitedly. Roy sat there, positively glowing as well. "That's wonderful Mary Ann! Did you tell them we would be honored to be the godparents?" He asked. "Of course!" Mary Ann affirmed, and promptly kissed her husband.
Roy held her in his arms, before whispering, "I think I'm going to leave work now, so you and I can spend a...quality afternoon together." Mary Ann giggled and smacked him lightly. "Oh no you don't mister. I have to clean the house. The castaways are coming to the house tomorrow and spending the weekend, in celebration for Gilligan and Andrea. There's work to be done. But, you can come home and help..." She trailed off sweetly, laughing as Roy grimaced at the thought of more housework. Standing up, Roy took his wife's hand and smiled mischievously. "But that doesn't mean we have to work ALL day..." He said wickedly, shooting one of his disarming smiles at his wife. Mary Ann smiled and squeezed his hand. Roy turned to leave, but not before he saw Mary Ann look at her stomach lovingly. Slightly confused, he turned one last time to look at his wife. Deciding that it must have been a trick of the light, the happy couple walked hand in hand, out of his office.
Well, there you have it. Chapter one all set and done. Again, sorry for the huge hiatus in between stories. And now... For my questions at the end of the chapter segment! (Cue game show music of your choosing.) :). What sort of mischief will the castaways get into when they are all together again? What will Andrea and Joanna be like? How will the other castaways react to Gilligan becoming a father? And what is Mary Ann hiding from Roy? Stay tuned to find out. Oh... Right, acknowledgments. I do not own Gilligan's Island, and other than some new characters that will be mentioned, none of the other characters in this belong to me. Thank you to two of my dear friends for being the inspirations for Gilligan and the Skipper's wives. As always, this is for you Mr. Russell Johnson.
