Chapter 32

Saturday early evening

Ben’s house

Harborton Washington

The girls were all sitting at the kitchen table after dinner while Ben was finishing adding heavier deadbolts to the back door when Tom pushed through the cat door at the front.

“What’s the craic? Is there a bez about the bit?”

“I can hear him!” Maria squealed as Tom walked in the kitchen.

“Me too!’ echoed an excited Lizzy. “Although, I still can’t understand what he’s saying.”

“I think he asked what’s happening and if there’s any beer in the house. It’s Scottish slang. Don’t worry, you’ll pick it up and if you don’t understand, just assume it’s about beer and you’ll usually be right.” said Sarah with a laugh.

“I’ll get one for you Tom, hang on.” Kelly smiled and went to the fridge.

“Aye thank ye lassie!” said Tom as Kelly poured some Harp into Tom’s dish.

“So how is this happening now? We haven’t had sex with Ben yet.” asked a curious Lizzy.

Sarah and Kelly shared a look, “Magic Cum” they both said spontaneously with a laugh.

“You both got a big dose this morning and maybe it doesn’t matter how you get it. Ben’s cum changes you.” explained Sarah.

“Oh yeah, that explains it” said Lizzy dreamily, as she remembered the morning’s fun. “That ties in with what Aunt Carol said about the test results. Maybe just smelling him causes some temporary changes. While absorbing his cum causes deeper, more substantial changes.”

“That makes sense to me. But it doesn’t explain the way we all feel about him.” added Kelly. “I’m certain that’s something else entirely. I think I’d come to love Ben no matter what, once I knew him.”

“I was already in love with him, I just didn’t know it.” said Sarah.

“Me too!” added Lizzy.

“I think I was fated to be in love with Ben before I even knew him.” Mei added with a blush.

“Awwwwww!” the other girls all said simultaneously.

“I don’t know about love yet, but he’s very lovable and I’m certainly in lust with him!” giggled Maria.

“Uh that reminds me girls if you don’t want to be pregnant then don’t take any chances yet. I have a feeling that Ben is super fertile. My body is telling me that it’s ready to be pregnant even though I’m on the pill. I just don’t care though. I want his baby now, but I will try to wait until this immediate danger is past,” said Kelly smiling.

“Yep me as well! Ben needs me non-pregnant at the moment, and I know my family would throw a fit, but I’d be overjoyed to have his baby!” added Sarah.

“I know I’m too young and I don’t know if I’d be a good mom or not, but if I got pregnant I’d be really happy about it.” said Lizzy.

“Lizzy, you’d be an awesome mom! You are so smart and funny and kind and you’d have all of us to help!” said Sarah.

“Mei what about you, do you think you will want to be pregnant someday?” asked Kelly

Mei sat there with her head downcast for a few seconds and the girls all realized that something was really wrong. Mei took a deep breath and looked up and you could see her try to put on a brave face for her sisters.

“I would have very much liked to have children with Ben, but I can’t. I shall love each of yours as though they were mine.” Mei said quietly as she managed to hold in her emotions until the last word and then a single tear fell down her face.

Mei was almost instantly enveloped by them all in a five way hug.

“Mei ... sister, can you tell us what happened?” said Sarah in a tender voice.

“When I was 13, the day that my first menstruation finished. The medical staff of the military school sterilized me. The told me I should be proud and patriotic. I was going to be a great tool for the State and the State needed its tools to always be sharp and ready.” whispered Mei, then in a hesitant voice she continued, “Ben doesn’t know. Do you think he will still love me even though I can’t give him children?” said Mei.

“We all know Ben and we’ve all seen how he looks at you Mei, this won’t matter to him, believe me. He will love you always.” Kelly said with a hug and a kiss on Mei’s forehead.

“Yes, he will.” Ben said firmly as he entered the kitchen. He had heard the very last of what was said and his heart was both broken by Mei’s pain and furious at what they had done to her sweet spirit.

The girls made way for him as he knelt by her side. He took both of Mei’s hands in his and then leaned in to touch her forehead to forehead. He could feel her warm breath and the small trembles of emotion coursing through her body. He kissed her softly and sweetly and then sat up so he could look directly into the deep wells of her jade green eyes.

“Mei, I love you.” Ben said emotionally. He then took one of her hands and placed it over his heart. “And I will love you until this heart no longer beats and I draw my last breath.”

Mei sobbed and great rivers of tears left for years unshed coursed down her face. Ben gathered her into his arms and stood. The girls all gave them a hug and then Ben turned and carried her into his bedroom and gently laid her on the bed and then crawled in next to her, wrapped her in his arms and rocked her as she cried until she eventually fell asleep.

An hour or so later Mei awoke in the darkness and for only the 3rd time in her life wasn’t initially afraid. She could feel Ben’s arms around her and she felt safe and loved.

“Ben, are you awake?” she whispered.

“Yes my love, I’m right here.” Ben’s voice rumbled in her ear making her shiver.

“Thank you.” Mei said as she kissed him on his cheek.

“Don’t be a silly girl, no thanks are needed from the beautiful woman that I love,” Ben laughed quietly as gave her ribs a little tickle right in that spot he had found their first night.

Mei giggled. “I’m okay now, I’m going to fix myself a little and I’ll be right out.”

“Don’t fix too much, I think you are perfect the way you are,” Ben said as he kissed her lightly and got out of bed. Mei laughed and stepped into Ben’s bathroom.

When Ben walked out into the living room everyone was relaxed but busy, except Tom who was upside down and snoring on his pad by his bowl. Lizzy was furiously typing on her laptop, Kelly was thoughtfully perusing hers. She had a pencil lightly tapping her delicious lips and her reading glasses almost off the end of her nose. Damn she looked hot like that, thought Ben.

Maria was sitting next to her and studiously taking notes about something. Sarah was at the kitchen table and had donned his old camouflage top again with nothing on underneath. She was taking apart his .45 and cleaning it. Ben had to chuckle, if the Marine Corps could get a poster made of what she looked like cleaning a pistol, they would never have to recruit again.

“How’s Mei doing?” Kelly asked as they all looked up.

“She’s doing much better now and will be out in a second. You are all amazing by the way. I don’t know what I did to get you all here, but you are each far more than I deserve.”

“You better believe it bud! And we are going to remind you of it every chance we get!” Said Sarah in a mock stern voice and everyone laughed.

“We’ve been working on things, Ben, and I think we’ve come up with some ideas and some things to discuss when Mei is ready.” Kelly said, smiling brightly.

“Yeah thanks, to Mei’s credentials I’ve been able to get fully into the Chinese network past most of their firewalls. With a little time and Mei’s help translating we are going to be able to beat them like a rented mule.” Lizzy said with a completely uncharacteristic evil grin. Ben would love to know where she came up with these wisecracks.
