“I got it and now let’s walk and how many people do you see walking on the beach?”
“Only a few as a storm is coming and this is not what most people call a nice day at the beach,” laughing as they picked up the pace. Ron had turned Amy loose and she ran around chasing sea gulls, but staying out of the salt water. Walking south into the wind was a chore and soon Sue said they should go back as the going was not pleasant for her. Walking back was much easier and when they were almost to the motor home they trudged through soft sand to the door. Ron, with foresight had a small Wisk broom and brushed Sue’s feet and Amy’s four feet and legs before climbing into the motor home. He too cleaned the sand off and with a sigh safe from the oncoming heavy wind and a rain beginning sat down at the table thinking about a hot cup of coffee. Amy read his mind and soon hot water was ready for instant coffee and tea.
Relaxing at the table Ron asked Sue, “Honey what you think so far about the trip?”
“I like it very much and soon as I get my bearings of the inside of our home, I will feel more at ease. Now I have to really work my brain to remember everything I need such as clothes, bathroom stuff, and so on. I loved the beach and hope someday the weather will be nice enough to feel the rays of the sun and we can sit on the beach running my hands and feet through the warm sand.”
“Me too, I’ve not spent much time on a beach except down in Florida where the sand is so hot you can’t walk barefoot and the broiling sun is way too hot to sit under.”
“Honey I’m a little hungry, would you get me some snacks to munch on,” she said with a pouting voice. Ron made for the refer and dug out some yogurt and left over chicken strips. He found a couple hotdogs and gave them to Amy while he made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. After a nice snack Ron said they would drive down to Cannon Beach and spend the night.
Leaving Seaside and making their way to Cannon beach, first down a valley of farms detailed by Ron, then over the mountains where forests of evergreen stood tall creating a green on green picture, then down the mountains to the coast and Ebola State Park. However before parking for the night they drove into town and found a supermarket to stock up on Sue’s voracious apatite. Hurrying into the market they once again with cart in hand cruised the deli section. A Chinese section piqued their interest and now Sue wanted some ice cream. No doubt she was with child, Ron thought. Also more English muffins and a sack full of salad ready to eat. Fruit by the arm load and off they went to the back of the parking lot against the rain and wind.
The park was mostly empty for November is not a busy season for the coast. A few diehards with closed up curtains sat looking forlorn against the storm now in progress. A nice young woman picked out a site close to the showers and a view of the sea. Ron made sure the motor home was level and secure. Water and electricity hooked up he was once again soaked when he came back in. Amy didn’t want to go out and that was fine with him. Sue wanted a hot shower and decked out in rain gear and ditty bags off they went to prepare for an afternoon of relaxing while the storm raged outside.
Sue hit the computer and Ron took a nap. When he woke from a dreamless sleep Sue was still working and Amy lay on the floor next to her. Ron checked his cell and found a text message from his father saying to call him soonest it was important. Now what he thought, it is probably something about aunt Bee. Damn, this is supposed to be a quiet trip without strings attached. A dark grey near black cloud of foreboding like the weather outside descended over him.
Chapter XV
Ron told Sue he was making a trip to the restroom and to make a phone call to his parents. She grunted an acknowledgement and with rain coat on and his new golf umbrella he left the motor home with Amy hot on his heels to do her job. Ron punched in the phone numbers with shaky fingers and when his father answered the phone, first he chastised him it being so late, and then gave him the news. Ron listened carefully as his father related the contents of the registered letter from his ex-wife. Ten minutes later the last thing his father said, “Ron don’t worry these things can be taken care of, but some inconvenience will occur.” Ron told him he would call tomorrow and tell him what the plan was after he talked to Sue. Amy was sitting by his side and Ron took advantage of the restroom he was standing next to sit and contemplate how he would tell his future wife the contents of the shocking news.
Back in the motor home Ron didn’t notice it was growing even darker as the day came to an end. Here, he thought, is our first test of how strong our relationship is. Rain coat hung up in the shower he walked to the table and sat down. He needed a strong cup of coffee and put the water on to boil, while glancing at the long blonde hair of his lovely wife as she typed away.
Hot coffee and a cup of hot water with her tea bag floating in it, he asked her to come have a cup of tea that he had something to tell her. Wordless she saved her document and came to the table feeling her way to her place. “Honey, I will never lie to you and you must trust in that. I just spoke to my father and this is what he told me came from the postman early today.” Sue was looking at his voice not expecting bad news, but could tell from his voice it was not good news, but told herself to listen. He continued, “My ex-wife says she had a baby and that I’m the father. Now she is intelligent and knows that it is easily proved through DNA testing. I’m to go to a hospital and have a DNA sample then send it to my father who will transfer it to his attorneys in New York. From a check to verify and that will determine what the next step or steps are. Let’s assume it is my baby and what does she want? She wants money of course. She never wanted kids and how she came by this situation is beyond me.” Ron stopped to let her think on what he said.
It wasn’t long and she asked, “Will we have to go to New York, or back east if it’s your baby?” Ron picked up right away on the we and told her that was most likely have to happen as child support would be in order and that would take a court of law to decide the amount and so forth.
Next she asked, “Ron you know I have no experience much in relationships and have relied on you one hundred percent. Without you or someone to help me I have no life outside my house in Seattle. Does this change our relationship any?”
“Honey, I love you with all my heart and was and am worried you might think I lied to you or deceived you some way. She my ex-wife; Abby had good reason to divorce me. I was a drunk and alcoholic, but never abusive. She only wants money knowing how rich my father is. Most likely we need to fly to Florida first and then see what happens. In the meantime my father said let him handle it after I send the sample to him. Usually money is the answer and to satisfy her all it takes is money. What I really want to know is does she want the baby?”
“Do you mean to say she might not want the baby?” Ron heard loud and clear her shock of finding out a mother didn’t want her baby. “Well if she doesn’t want the baby we do, oh I never asked if you might want the baby. Forgive me please,” as she held his hands that he noticed her knuckles white with stress.
“Sue of course if she doesn’t want the baby and you think it is all right to add to our new upcoming family, by all means let’s see what we can do.”
“Honey I’m with you all the way. From the first time I asked you to make love to me, I was totally committed to you heart and soul. Look at this from a blind persons place. Yes, I know what town we’re in and yes I know what state we’re in, but if you walked out the door I would be cast on the mercy of others to help get me to a home that is under construction. I’d be a worthless wife and human being if I didn’t support you and believe in you. The past is just that, the past. For whatever reason Abby is doing this to you is her reasons and not ours. She wants money; okay we both have plenty of money. What’s important is the baby.” Her grip tightened and tears were now flowing down her cheeks and Ron knew her well enough to know they were tears of sadness for an unwanted baby. And, more importantly, tears of happiness knowing they might have an addition to their family.
Ron said, “I want to tell you a story from the p
ast as it might come up in court and I don’t want it to be a surprise. Some years ago, she was so angry at me she decided to put me in jail for wife abuse. She hired a boyfriend to beat her up and then she went to the hospital and eventually charges of wife abuse were filed against me. The police picked me up and the next thing I knew I was in jail. I called my father and I was out on bail before the night was over. To make a long story short, my father sent a team of private investigators to find the truth and the truth was found as the boyfriend confessed the whole story to the police. Then we had to plead no case to the judge for Abby and she tearfully accepted the scolding of the judge and it was forgotten; but I never forgot it.”
Silence, as the wind and rain made its presence known pounding on the roof and sides of the motor home. Sue never said a word and led him to the bedroom pulling off her sweats top and bottom then laid on the bed with her arms open for him. Ron followed suit and lie down beside her holding her and then covering her salty mouth with kisses that made him drunk with love. His hand went to her breast where soon their baby would take its nourishment from and he wanted some of that nourishment for his soul as he greedily sucked on her breast going from one to the other. Sue arched her back wanting more as he nibbled on her nipple and ran his tongue around, then filled his mouth with the whole thing sucking, but not too hard as he heard sounds of passion coming from her lips.
Flashes of bright lights went off in his head as he found her wet and inviting with his hand while he made love to her flat stomach. His own need was throbbing from his member as hard now as the rain beating on the roof. He lowered his mouth to taste her sweetness and his long hair free from a pony tail fell over his face and next thing he felt was her hands in his hair pulling on it and saying words of what she wanted him to do next. He took her words and sucked gently on her hard clit and that sent her almost to her secret place. Her lover and future husband continue his attack on her wet pussy and when he used his other hand to warm his finger in her tight place of delight his tongue and finger brought her body shaking and muscle spasms along with vocal sounds left her exhausted laying on the bed hair spread out on the pillow and arms lying on each side powerless to move. Ron once again laid his head on her soft downy stomach and caught his breath. His penis still throbbed, but no matter he was satisfied with making love to her.
Sue rolled over and rose to her knees offering her backside to him. Ron was more than ready and eased up behind her. Sue reached between her legs and guided him into a still very wet place that ached for more attention. It was almost too much for Ron as he tried to hold back from the erotic position and soon he came in great spurts as Sue pushed back wanting all of him deep in her womb. Both collapsed in a heap with Ron rolling off to the side. A blanket next to the side of the bed made a good covering as he placed it over both of them while they recovered with the rain as company to their dreams.
After a short nap, a wet trip in the dark to the hot showers; and to let Amy run free, then a run back to the motor home to satisfy a real food hunger, saw the lovers eating Chinese food warmed in the microwave and other items from the store, including strawberry ice cream. Idle chatter and poking fun at each other mostly related to their acts of lovemaking filled the motor home with happiness.
After dinner Ron looked at the map and saw Tillamook not far down the road. It looked large enough for a hospital and that was the plan for the next day. Also, while there Sue would take a pregnancy test to verify the off the shelf test a few days before.
It wasn’t long after that it was time for a real nights sleep from an emotional day filled with ups and downs, but mostly ups. Both fell asleep in each others arms and at daylight woke Ron, if you call dark grey day daylight. Rain continued its wrath and both of them used their own bathroom as no one wanted to go outside, except Amy who after a short run and relief, came back soaked. Ron dried her off and she loved the attention licking his face making throat sounds of happiness. Ron did his outside job of disconnecting and off they went without breakfast to Tillamook and a test that would lead to a major change in their lives.
Chapter XVI
Ron found the hospital and before they went in they had breakfast at a restaurant. Tillamook, they heard, was famous for cheese and after the hospital Ron wanted to visit the factory. Meanwhile after breakfast they went to the hospital and Ron told the receptionist what he wanted. It only got more confusing after that and Ron had to find a doctor to give permission for him to have them do a DNA test. However the lady was nice enough to give him a phone number and after calling the doctor’s office they lumbered over in the motor home for an appointment. Ron once again explained the situation and in no time the young doctor had the hospital on the phone and a written prescription for what he needed. Also while they talked Sue was given another pregnancy test and the test confirmed that she was pregnant.
An hour later found them at the cheese factory sampling the special tasting cheese so popular all over the Western States. Ron had called his father telling him the overnight mail would contain his DNA sample for a lab in Florida to do the work. And he told him they would catch a plane in Portland and he’d let him know flight and arrival time in Ft. Lauderdale. After the cheese visit and a gift box for his parents they left for Portland International Airport.
It was early November and not a peak season for travel and after a long and tiring fiasco with Amy flying with them, finally Ron booked three first class seats for Florida. A muzzle for Amy’s chagrin and a short lease attacked to her seat was accepted and after Ron called home off they went on Sue’s first time in a plane of any size. As long as she was with her man, she felt safe with Amy not far away. As to the contents in the refrigerator all was dumped in the garbage behind a supermarket before parking in long term.
“How long before we get there,” Sue asked.
“About five hours I think. I’m not sure and can ask the flight attendant when she comes by.”
“How is Amy,” she asked.
“Not real happy I would imagine, but she is bearing up just fine. I think once we get going they will let her come to us and stay by our feet. But for now she must be patient. By the way how is your seat?”
“Lovely and so comfortable; I’m going to put on my head phones and listen to music and lay back for a little rest.” For Ron he was tied up in knots about having to face his ex-wife in court again. Last time it was a scene from hell with screaming and crying jags that really didn’t impress anyone, especially the judge or lawyers. Is it a boy or girl he wondered and he felt deep inside if they would have divorced if she had become pregnant some years back; or if he would have not been such a drunk. Nowadays he never thought of drinking and when the flight attendant came by offering free whatever, he declined smiling. Now he thought about his parents and what they were going through with the news of a grandchild unseen or unheard of and him bringing a future wife who was blind. My God he thought thinking about if he had told him Sue was sightless, how stupid of me. Well it’s too late now. Ron turned on the news on TV and soon turned it off with the same old stuff that really didn’t matter only to a few people in the world and he wasn’t one of them. He flipped to a movie and it lost him in a love story and smiled thinking that his future wife could write a better one from their brief experience.
A half hour later the flight attendant came by with orders for dinner. Ron ordered for both of them and gently nudged Sue when the food came. Amy, Ron noticed was sleeping peacefully and after dinner he asked the attendant if Amy could rest on the floor between them. She looked around and told him to wait a minute and talked to what was probably the head attendant. Shortly she came back and said it was ok to move her over, but keep the leash fairly tight and that she could have her muzzle off for water and food too. Ron thanked her deeply and moved Amy over and soon she was happy to be close to them and caused no trouble all the way to Florida.
Sue sat thinking about meeting Ron’s parents and subsequent events happening after that. What was his mother like and
would they pity her for being blind? Did Ron tell them she was blind and what if they don’t like me? I don’t know if I’m going backwards or forwards. Then a smile came across her face thinking about the little life growing inside her. He loves me, I’m sure of that, but why do I feel it all might not be real on his part. It’s only been a few weeks and marriage is for years and years. Oh father where are you I really need you right now to help me through these times. Here I am blind and flying to Florida to meet people I don’t know. Then there is the ex-wife and her baby to deal with. Scared, she reached out for Ron’s hand and he found it cold and clammy. Soon it warmed up and she felt better with a connection to real life.
They didn’t have any check in bags only carry on. Ron thought they would go shopping and besides the weather was warm and sub-tropical needing only summer dresses for her and lightweight clothes for him. On top of that, it would be an excuse for his mother to take both of them shopping and Amy would love his father. One reason for his father’s success was his relationship with his workers. Never graduated college and worked his way up the old fashion way: hard work. Now as they exited the plane and walked the covered gangway, Amy being led by Sue with her harness on, Ron with the two bags of mostly toiletry items and shorts, panties and whatever else they soon arrived in the pickup area of the airport where Ron spotted his mother waving and his dad being cool and stoic. Coming closer he saw her face drop as the realization of his future wife was sightless. Father couldn’t have cared less; his son was home for a visit. Good or bad he felt time stand still seeing his son again after so long absent.
Ron introduced Sue who had a smile on and mother gave both of them a hug which made Sue’s white cheeks turns a little red. Father shook hands and patted Ron on the back saying “Welcome home son.”
