Chapter 1073
From All Of Us
John and John Henry headed back to the Command Center after the shared meal with the group was finished.
John was very pleased with everything.
John Henry found the experience enchanting.
"Well, that was interesting." John Henry said.
John thought it was a good idea for all of them to be in one place for a change. It really was like a single big family.
"It was nice to all be together." John said. "Cameron and Savannah want us all as one extended family anyway. We really are."
John Henry was very pleased that Savannah and Young Allison invited all the Terminators that were present. That fact wasn't lost on any of the Terminators. The 'Chosen Ones' always treated them as equals. They respected all the machines, even if they were called upon to do a dangerous task. The girls vowed to physically assist in the repairs.
The main purpose of the gathering was for the human Resistance members to eat dinner. The Terminators at the most might try a taste of a few things. That was all that they would ever do. They weren't invited to the commissary to eat. They were invited to socialize and share with everyone as part of the group.
"They always include the Terminators as well." John Henry said. "Savannah and now Young Allison always stress that. That doesn't go unnoticed by us."
John thought Savannah and Young Allison were the greatest. He wanted to get a rundown on the operations before he went to his room. Since Cameron was back at the base, he hoped for a little action. He planned to knock one off with Cameron as 'Young Allison' and another time with Cameron as 'Anna'. It wasn't hard to do with the lights off. Once things got 'started', the mind could wander anywhere while the body 'worked'. He wasn't going to admit it to anyone but Cameron had been all of the girls at some point in time, including Riley as well as Future Riley. He could feel 'Little Willie' stir at the thought of what was to come. He needed to refocus.
"They really are something special." John said. "I want an update after you plug back in before I hit the sack."
John Henry thought things were winding down both inside and outside the Resistance base.
"It looks like things are breaking up." John Henry said. "I'll update you before you retire."
John Henry doubted John would go to sleep once he went to his room. He was sure that there would be some further activity in the bedroom before that occurred. He assumed it would most likely be Cameron but with all the girls up and around, he might end up with a surprise in his bed.
He would need to monitor all the security feeds to see what was happening. He was sure there was going to be a lot of activity happening in the various rooms. He might even try to be in the hall where the girl's rooms were. He might even be able to catch some nude 'room hopping'.
He was very fascinated by the human female body and its ability to have unlimited sexual activity as well as unlimited finishes. He really thought that human males got shortchanged in the sexual activity department. He was aware the things did get 'short' and stay that way rather relatively quickly after every encounter.
The 'party' was over and everyone was headed back to whatever they were doing before the food arrived.
Claire was headed back with Hanna.
"Mom…." Young Allison said.
Claire stopped.
"I need to speak with you." Young Allison said.
Hanna started to come with Claire.
"I want it to be alone." Young Allison said.
Anna was with Young Allison, she looked at Hanna and they both walked away.
Claire already knew what was coming. Her daughter wanted to establish her independence some.
Young Allison walked up to Claire. They both looked at each other for a few long moments.
"I'm going back." Young Allison said.
Claire wasn't sure she liked that. She wanted to know what else was planned.
"Do you mean by yourself?" Claire asked. "I think you mean Anna and you back to Palmdale, not back in time."
Young Allison didn't want to make a big deal about it. It's just the way things were going to be. It was only one change of many that were bound to follow.
"Yes." Young Allison said. "I'm not going back in time, at least not yet."
Claire liked all the amenities at the Resistance base. Most of that was in the form of unlimited sexual activity. There was something that was more important to her. She knew it was something that she wouldn't be able to hold onto for very long. It was her daughter. She would rather go back to Palmdale than lose her daughter. It seemed that was going to happen soon enough anyway.
"I don't want that." Claire said. "We'll all go back then."
Young Allison needed to stress her personal agenda. It was about more than just being away from her family for a few days.
"No." Young Allison said. "I need to prepare myself for the past."
That left Claire feeling very empty. She knew what her daughter wanted and she knew why she wanted it. It was Cameron's fault. Cameron stole her daughter away from her. She couldn't fault Cameron though. She understood the future. She was in the future. She saw her daughter as Future Allison with Future John and Future Savannah as well as Duplicate Cameron in Cameron's future. She saw it all with her own eyes. Everything was exactly like Cameron told her it was going to be.
She still felt the same pains that every mother felt about their children. She was aware that Young Allison was extremely advanced for her age. That was also Cameron's doing along with the Metal girls. There were a few things she wanted Young Allison to think about as well.
"What about Summer?" Claire asked. "What about me?"
It all seemed logical to Young Allison. It looked like a 'win' for everyone.
"I don't want to make a big deal about this." Young Allison said. "We all know the future and with whom it will be. Everything you want is here, Mom. Jan and Summer need each other. That way neither one of them will feel lonely. You won't feel lonely either. There's a lot of love to share here. Jesse will provide the human comfort you seek. She will share the human comfort you need."
Young Allison also knew that her mother would more than likely be with John as well. She didn't know when that would be. As far as she knew, it may happen simultaneously when she was with John as well. She'd always heard about those 'mother - daughter' things on the internet. That wasn't something that she looked forward to. It briefly crossed her mind that both her mother and herself could have children with John. She wondered exactly how that relationship would be classified for the two children. Would they just be siblings? Was there some more complicated or convoluted term that would describe them?
Claire wondered if this was Cameron's doing. She decided to ask.
"Is this Cameron's idea?" Claire asked.
Young Allison looked at her mother. She didn't want anybody else to take the 'rap' for her decisions. She hadn't discussed it specifically with Cameron. That was something that she would need to do. She hoped that she didn't run into any additional flak.
"No." Young Allison said. "I haven't told her yet. "I wanted to talk to you first. I wanted you to know and hear it from me."
Claire knew in that instant that she'd lost her daughter. Young Allison acted independent of Cameron. Maybe Savannah could stop her. Maybe Savannah wouldn't want to stop her. It was possible Savannah could move into the Palmdale house.
"What about Savannah?" Claire asked. "What's going to happen there?"
Young Allison was aware of what occurred in the future and the present. She was aware of the story of 'Allison Young' and 'Savannah Weaver' in every future. She also had a pretty good idea of what went on in Cameron's future when Savannah and her mother were both there.
"You tell me." Young Allison said. "I know in Cameron's future what happened."
It was clear to Claire that Young Allison referred to her being with Savannah. They'd been together a few times. It was very beautiful. She was also with Future Savannah. She'd been with Vanna and her Metal girlfriend was Hanna. She planed to be with Anna when she became 'active' as well.
Claire felt the same things from Allison at first when she was with Vanna and Holly. Allison soon accepted it. Young Allison would need too as well. No one owned anybody. They could have a dedicated lover but the relationships were all open. The variety kept everything flowing smoothly. There were times when a couple always butted heads. Everyone was there to lend a hand and try to get things straightened out. She didn't feel that she owed Young Allison an explanation. Young Allison didn't know what it was like.
"It was only a few times. We were both very pregnant and felt down and alone…." Claire said. "It just happened. I'm sorry."
Young Allison was well aware that Hanna, Vanna, Future Savannah and Savannah all shared with her mother. She'd even seen her mother 'hit' on Anna who always declined. They all almost looked the same anyway. She didn't want to make a big deal about it but she knew that Savannah had been with her mother more than a few times since they'd returned from Cameron's future. They never did it in front of her but she still knew.
She knew they all shared because they cared about each other and loved each other. That kind of love and sharing was different than the true love Vanna and Allison shared. There was love based love as well as sex based love. The girls all loved each other. It was more than just sex for all of them. She planned to be with all of the girls as well. She'd already told Savannah she was going to be with all the same people that she'd been with. Right now she didn't want her mother to get a complex.
"Don't worry about it." Young Allison said. "Cameron has explained everything to me, along with Allison and Savannah. There's room to share and love everyone and still have a true love."
Claire wondered how serious this was. Was Young Allison headed for John or Savannah? She didn't want her daughter to leave and end up pregnant a few days after she returned from the past as a teenager. She would try an indirect approach to see. If Young Allison was going to get pregnant to give the baby to Cameron, there was no reason she couldn't carry Young Allison's baby the same way she carried Allison's baby. She could give that to Cameron and spare Young Allison the trouble of being pregnant and the pain of giving up a child. She was aware how deeply Savannah was affected.
"Will Savannah move in with you?" Claire asked.
Young Allison smiled. She could feel her mother fishing. It always bothered her that Savannah made her wait. She really didn't know what for. She really didn't think that was fair to her since Savannah was 'active' with everyone. Those were just the rules that Savannah laid down.
"When I get back it might be. It won't be before. Savannah's made it very clear I must be at the 'age of consent' for anything like that." Young Allison said. "She wants to leave other options open to me."
Young Allison was aware that the 'age of consent' varied greatly from state to state and around the world for that matter. She thought it was all a matter of perception and semantics more than anything. If a person was ready, they were ready. It was just that simple. Not everyone fit into a cookie cutter mold. She was doing college level work for her schooling. There were girls her age and other countries who didn't even know how to read.
In her research she'd noted the 'age of consent' was lower in the Sixties. She wasn't about to share that information with anyone until the appropriate time. She planned to be in Colorado, Georgia or Arkansas on that birthday. It was a technicality she planned to exploit in that time period. Even in the present day there were places like Nigeria, Japan and the Philippines that had an extremely low 'age of consent'. She remembered a saying, 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do'.
It worried Claire too. The other option was John. She decided in that instant to have Young Allison's baby for John and Cameron herself. Cameron could do the same thing they were doing for Allison's baby. Claire would have her own baby and give it to Cameron and John even. She didn't want her daughter in a relationship with John until it was necessary.
Young Allison knew her bond with Savannah was deeper than anything physical. That was the true bond and Savannah reinforced that bond without anything else to get in the way. Savannah stressed that bond was the most important thing in a relationship, anything else was just sex.
Claire didn't want Young Allison to grow up too fast. She knew that there were good times from personal experience but she also knew it wasn't all 'fun and games'. There was a lot of 'give and take'.
"I don't want that for you." Claire said. "I don't want you to do all those big girl things."
Young Allison didn't want to worry her mother. She would however point out the obvious.
"We all know the story of every Savannah Weaver and Allison Young." Young Allison said. "It's just a matter of time. If it was up to me, things would have already happened. Maybe someday you will be honest and tell me about what you did growing up. We haven't shared our 'mother - daughter' talk yet."
Claire missed those years in Young Allison's rapid intellectual development. She seemed to be a 'twenty something' by the time she was a tween.
She wasn't sure she wanted to share her first experiences with anyone. She'd started to go to parties with her friends from school. There were a lot of older boys in attendance. The alcohol flowed freely and there were even some drugs. She wasn't even aware of the moment that she got 'popped'. She woke up on a bed with her pants off, her underwear around one ankle and someone on top of her. The first one finished a few seconds later. She was too groggy to resist or even move when the second one started in. He finished up two minutes later. She remembered they both laughed as they left the room and were proud that they'd 'bagged' another virgin. She was a little surprised as the first boy came back and took her underwear off of her left ankle and put it in his pocket as he walked out the door. He looked back and laughed again as the door closed. It quickly sunk in as she regained her faculties as to what had just occurred.
The same thing happened a few more times to her and all of her friends as well at some point. She stopped going to parties. She knew it was only a matter of time until she would end up pregnant. She wasn't even sure how many boys had been with her. It was probably double or triple the number that she remembered. On most of those occasions she couldn't find her underwear when she went to put her pants back on. She found out from her friends that the boys that were with them often took them as a trophy to show other boys what they'd done.
It was after that when she started to concentrate on her female friends from school. They were able to satisfy each other and there was no worry of pregnancy. She was never with another male again until her parents forced her to get married. They didn't approve of her chosen lifestyle. They wanted to straighten her out and get her off the path to Hell. She really thought that depended what the definition of Hell was. She blinked her eyes twice. She needed to refocus.
"You already know everything biologically." Claire said. "You have for years. I read your dissertation on that. I've read all of your works."
Young Allison felt far older than her physiology appeared.
"Just remember, this may be a girl's body but I'm not a girl otherwise." Young Allison said.
Claire could see the true implication.
"I do know that." Claire said. "You're a 'human Terminator'."
Young Allison went and gave her mother a hug and a kiss.
"I'm just your daughter. Don't ever forget that. I won't either." Young Allison said. "I'll see you and Summer tomorrow before I go back."
Now Claire was really worried. That statement seemed open ended.
"Do you mean back home or back in time?" Claire asked worriedly.
Young Allison gave her mother another hug and a kiss.
"It will be home for now." Young Allison said. "I need to do a few more things with Savannah tonight. Please don't worry about this."
Young Allison left to find Savannah.
Claire watched Young Allison walk away. She knew that speech was coming. She actually expected Savannah or Cameron to accompany her. Young Allison just did it on her own. She knew Young Allison was ready since she'd done it on her own. It was clear that she was ready for everything. She hoped she wouldn't get pregnant too soon. She knew Savannah was young the first time she did and that Young Allison would do the same if not sooner. She would still need to speak to Cameron about that and the other options she would make available.
She found Hanna waiting for her. They went back to her room and she cried most of the night. Hanna held her and soothed her as best as she could. She needed to tell herself that what awaited Young Allison was better than what happened to her or the girls from the future. She really wondered how many males had actually been with her. She wondered what they thought about as she lay there unconscious or incapacitated as they pounded away. She wondered if any of them regretted it later in life. She figured maybe if they had a daughter they would. She was someone's daughter too.
The future always loomed around the corner.
Young Allison went to Savannah's room and found her there. She was a little surprised at what she found Savannah doing.
Savannah looked up at her and smiled. She'd just finished assembling a few more 'packages'. She made a call to Cameron and a call to John. She spoke briefly with both of them.
"We need to make a few more stops before we turn in." Savannah said. "Bring the packages."
Young Allison smiled and collected the packages. She was aware what a big hit it was for all the girls, both Terminator and human.
The first stop was to see Sarah, Kyle and Jan. Savannah ran the proposal by Sarah and Kyle at the 'dinner party'. Kyle thought it was a good idea for all the assistance that was given to their family. Sarah wasn't as sure.
Savannah and Young Allison also wanted Summer there.
The more Sarah thought about it, the more she liked the idea. Bob and Jim were very loyal to her and her family and always were, right from the start. It would also insure that Jan and Summer would be protected from the evils of the future.
Bob and Jim both took damage over the years that would have killed either of the Reese brothers more than once. That was something that Sarah was grateful for. She was fully on board with the idea at this point. Kyle was alive because of both Jim and Bob.
Jim and Bob both showed up at Sarah's room. They saw Savannah and Young Allison depart and head for the Command Center before they reached the door.
Bob looked over at Jim.
"Are we in trouble?" Bob asked.
The party seemed like a success to Jim.
"I don't know." Jim said. "I thought everything went well tonight."
Bob and Jim both felt a little uneasy. They wondered if they'd done something wrong or acted inappropriately at the party. They weren't really good at social interaction with other humans. The ones in the Resistance were easier to get along with.
They knocked and entered.
They were surprised to see Derek and Riley there with Precious. Jan and Summer were together in the corner and both of them smiled when they saw them enter.
Jan ran up to Jim, while Summer ran up to Bob.
"Hold out your hand." Jan said.
Summer didn't want one of them to pull a 'fast one'. She knew all the tricks.
"Close your eyes too." Summer said. "No 'Terminator vision' either. You need to promise."
Bob and Jim looked at each other.
"Affirmative…." They both said.
Summer thought that was close enough.
That brought smiles and some giggles.
"Turn your hands upright, with your palms open." Jan said.
Summer placed something in Bob's hand, while Jan did the same for Jim.
"Now close your hands very carefully." Summer said.
The two big Terminators did.
Jan looked at Summer and she nodded.
"Open your eyes." Jan and Summer said at the same time.
Bob and Jim both opened their eyes.
The Reese clan and Summer were all standing in front of them.
"Open your hands." They all said at the same time.
Bob and Jim were very unsure what was about to happen.
When they opened their hands, Bob and Jim were both stunned by what they looked at.
"Is this for me, for both of us?" Bob asked.
"Yes." Sarah said. "It's from all of us."
"Open them." Jan and Summer both said.
Bob and Jim were soon both overcome with 'feelings' they weren't sure how to deal with. This was very special to both of them.
It was a special time for all of them.
They saw John, Cameron, Savannah and Young Allison standing in the background by the door watching.
Riley made the incision for Bob. Summer placed the heart inside of him. Sarah made the incision for Jim. Jan placed the heart inside of him.
Cameron stayed with John to help Bob and Jim deal with the new 'feelings' that they'd experienced.
Savannah and Young Allison quietly left again.
They weren't done yet.
John Henry was aware that Savannah and Young Allison were headed his way. He wondered what was up. He hoped they wouldn't ask him about some of the things he'd been viewing. He hoped they'd understand it was for 'research'.
Savannah wanted a better setting.
"Hi, John Henry." Savannah said. "I need your help in my room for a few minutes."
John Henry was relieved it was something different from what he worried about.
"Certainly…." John Henry said.
Young Allison moved close to John Henry.
"Can I unplug you again?" Young Allison asked.
John Henry was a little concerned but didn't think it would be a problem. Savannah was there as well.
"I'd like that." John Henry said.
Young Allison repeated what she'd done before, even more so this time.
Savannah watched but didn't say anything. She knew what Young Allison was doing. It was what Cameron taught her to do as well. It was to throw the 'mark' off target. John Henry would try and calculate what really just happened and be off his game.
John Henry was surprised as the girls each took one of his hands. They seemed very happy and playful. This further added to his calculations.
They reached Savannah's room and John Henry held the door for them.
John Henry thought if this was a physical task that Cammy or Anna should be able to do it. They were both as strong as he was. He didn't see them anywhere around. He wondered where they'd gone.
"Where are Cammy and Anna at?" John Henry asked.
The girls sent them on some errands.
"They needed to take care of a few things." Young Allison said.
Savannah held out her hand and Young Allison placed the envelope in it.
"This is from all of us to you." Savannah said.
Savannah removed something from the envelope.
"Hold out your hand." Young Allison said.
John Henry did and Savannah placed the heart shaped locket in it.
John Henry stared at it for a while before he spoke.
"Is this for me?" John Henry asked somewhat bewildered.
Savannah was pleased to see how surprised he was.
"Yes." Savannah said. "It is from all of us."
Savannah indicated the door. John and Cameron now stood there. They both smiled at him.
John Henry was quickly overcome with 'feeling'.
"Open it." Savannah said. "You can change anything around the way you like it."
John Henry opened the heart and looked.
"I like how it is." John Henry said.
They all gave him a hug.
"John Henry looked at the four of them standing there. It was the 'Natural Order' before him. It was the future.
John and Cameron left.
"Take off your shirt." Savannah said.
Young Allison wanted some more practice.
"Can I make the incision?" Young Allison asked.
John Henry was pleased with what was about to happen.
"Yes." John Henry said. "Remember to press hard."
Young Allison wondered if his sheath would be tougher than the girls were.
"I will." Young Allison said.
Savannah wanted to use a little tact.
"We'd both prefer it if you'd turned your pain receptors off." Savannah said. "It's up to you."
John Henry sat down and Young Allison made the incision.
The girls both noticed him wince a little. They'd come to expect that from all the Terminators at this point. They all did it anyway even if they asked them not to.
John Henry handed the heart shaped locket to Savannah.
"Hold the incision open a little." Savannah said.
Young Allison did and Savannah placed the heart shaped locket inside John Henry.
The girls each put a stitch in for him and Young Allison placed the bandage on him and gave it a kiss.
"That will make it all better." Young Allison said.
John Henry reached up with his left hand and touched the bandage where Young Allison had just kissed it.
Savannah and Young Allison gave John Henry a hug and a kiss on each cheek.
"I won't ever forget this." John Henry said.
John Henry wiped a single tear away from each cheek. He was deeply moved.
John walked with Cameron to their room.
"That was really something special that Savannah and Young Allison did." John said.
Cameron reached up and touched below her left breast. She remembered the day that she put her own heart in. It was the day that she wrote her first poem, Outsider.
"It has a lot of meaning." Cameron said. "It makes all of the feelings real. It makes the love real."
John could see Cameron was deeply touched.
He was ready to move on to the next step. It was time for some more action. He wondered what the score was now. He reached down and adjusted 'Little Willy'.
"How many more are left?" John asked.
Cameron was a little surprised that John asked her about the number. He'd stated earlier that he didn't want to keep score. She was going to, even if he didn't.
"There are nine hundred and seventy six to go." Cameron said. "I think you should be able to knock it down a few. That's if you're 'up' to it."
John hoped he would be. He thought that 'Little Willy' was good to go.
"I'm 'up' to it." John said.
Cameron noticed John was 'up' when they were with Savannah and Young Allison earlier too. She wondered which one or if both of them 'motivated' him.
Cameron stopped at the door to their room.
"Well?" Cameron asked.
"Our wedding night again?" John asked.
"You know the drill." Cameron said with a smile and a kiss, as John picked her up and carried her into their room….
Cameron quickly created a blank sub file. It was about to be her 'first time' - again.
From All Of Us
Is one stronger or weaker
When they're all alone
It is only to themselves
That they must atone
There's no baggage
That they need tote
It's only themselves
They must keep afloat
Any other's weakness
Isn't their burden to bear
No other's failure
Must they share
Is that the type life
That one can live for long
Maybe to another
It's better to belong
When they need assistance
There's nothing to discuss
Everyone is there for them
They will get help from all of us
Nobody
