Chapter 2
"I suppose you want an answer this very minute without giving me time to think about it, right?" he replied looking into her shining face filled with hope. How could he really deny anything for Krystal? She had given him Krista's life back, at the risk of her own. It was because of her unselfishness that he had Krista and the twins. But the thought of her carrying the seed of another man, even though it was Tom, grated on his nerves.
"No, darling, if you want to think about it that is fine. I know how you are and that you have to plan out everything. How long do you think you will have to think about it?" she grinned at him knowing that he would eventually agree to do this for his best friend and her sister. Then it hit her that there might be something else on his mind, "Is there something that is really worrying you about it?"
"I know in my heart that we need to do this for Krystal and Tom. I even know that my only objection makes no sense, but I hate the thought of you carrying another man's seed inside your body. I don't care if it's Tom's seed, or maybe that it's that Tom is my best friend." He stood and walked to the edge of the yard pushing the dogs out of his way.
"If you don't want me to do this Albert, I won't. That is why I talked to you first before I told them my idea. I didn't want to get their hopes up and then take it away. Tom's seed would be with Krys' egg, not mine, darling. And we would use artificial insemination because of that so he wouldn't be making love to me, if you were concerned about that...although, Krys says he is good..." she tried to lighten the mood at the end there.
"Yes, I'm sure he is, if I remember the good old days right. That means we have to put our life on hold and you do remember what it was like making love in the last stages of pregnancy?" AJ asked turning and holding her in his arms tightly. He always worried that something would happen to his beautiful wife. If he lost her then life wouldn't be worth living.
"You used to make love to Tom? Does Krystal know about this?"
"No! I have never made love to Tom! Back in 'Nam, the walls were paper thin and we could hear each other having sex with the pros...girls. Sometimes I think we tried to out do the other in making them scream," AJ finished blushing from neck to the top of his head and ears.
"Oooooh! Bad boy!" she swatted his arm. "I am going to have to tell...ummm who made them scream the loudest? Bet it was MY SEAL!" Krista teased.
"Depended on how tired we were, sometimes we just fell asleep. They were comfortable beds and if you paid the girls they left you alone. If you wanted more, then they were more than happy to oblige. It just depended what kind of mood you were in. Lets just say Tom and I did our share for the team," he grinned sheepishly.
"Well, if I wasn't nursing, so you would be able to know me, maybe Krys and I should switch and do our own comparing?" she suggested running her hand up his chest.
"I don't think so, Darlin'," he growled and pulling her to him kissing her long, deep and hard.
"Ummmm, well, okay!" she sighed dramatically. "Was there another concern you had about doing this for them?"
"Other than I want you to myself for awhile to take a honeymoon, no I guess not," he sighed, knowing he'd lost the argument before it had even started.
"It might not take the first time, and we can take a honeymoon while I'm pregnant, Albert. We could even hold off doing it till then if you like. I want you to be all right with this, if you're not, then I won't do it."
"We have the rest of our life for these other things and Tom and Krystal want a baby so badly. I guess it's the least we can do. Krystal gave me your life and Tom stood by me in that terrible period. We owe them a lot, Krista. If you're willing to do this then I'll stand behind you all the way.
