Dark as Daylight Ch. 04

However, the smile and look on Jennifer's face was worth it all. It was at times like these I wished we had not banned cameras.

"Thank you Even, that was the most wonderful orgasm I ever had."

"And here I thought you were sleeping."

"I was asleep at the beginning, but the first 2 little orgasms woke me up. The big one was magnificent. Would you keep notes on what you did please? I don't want you to forget a thing."

"It was all you baby, you and the look on your face. All I did was follow you, as you changed, I changed what I was doing. When you started pleading at the end, I knew what to do, and I would have moved heaven and earth to give it to you. I Jennifer Stars Luck. I always will."

"I don't care how nice you are to me Even, 'No More Children!"

"Mrs. Luck, I had to wait for you to deliver 'Lady', and 'Lord', before I scheduled my vasectomy. Finch was so busy delivering babies, he didn't have time for anything else."

"Even come closer to me."

I moved closer to my lovely and sated wife. She put her arms around me and kissed me passionately.

"What did you say you named our baby girl?"

"I named her 'Lady' of course."

Jennifer's arms closed around my neck to the point I could not breathe.

"Love of my life, please tell me that you're joking."

"Jennifer, I have very little air left in my lungs, and I told you many years ago I would never lie to you. Our baby's girl's name Is 'Lady Jennifer Luck."

"You are the luckiest son of the bitch alive."

"Why would you say that dear? Did you think I would just name her 'LADY LUCK' and not have an escape plan to leave this humble abode?"

"Even you have only mentioned our son in passing. You said his name was 'Lord.' Lord what?"

"I gave him a wonderful Scottish name. It goes back centuries and more centuries and even more centuries than that darling."

"Even you are stalling for time. Anytime you do that, I know you're in trouble. Exactly how much trouble are you in, and have you signed the birth certificate?"

"Let me give you his name first. You can tell me how much trouble I am in the second. And I can say yes to the third thing. Then you can tell me if I'm going to need the vasectomy or not, because I'll be dead."

"Oh Even, what did you do to that poor boy?"

"His name is, 'Lord Levin Luck."

"What's so bad about that Even? I like it. Everyone will call him 'Lev.' There is nothing wrong with that at all."

"You mean I did something right for a change?"

"I guess you understood your life would have been forfeit if you did something wrong. Now that I think of it; Even, why aren't you on the bridge."

"I was very tired, so I decided to get some sleep. I am very comfortable leaving Franklin on the bridge, and Callie is always there to help her. She's only been on the bridge for one day, and she is very smart. I will tell you later about the plan she came up with about us going through the White Hole. When I asked Callie what she thought of this suggestion she only had one change she would make. One change from a suggestion made by a one-day Captain in training. She is going to make one fantastic captain.

I would make you a wager when you give her the 2nd test next week she will come out number 1. Janet will come out number 2, and Gloria will come out number 3."

"Do you know what that means Even? We are going to have all female captains. José is not going to make it though I had high hopes for him. Stephen, according to your reports is not going to make it either. This next test will tell us for sure who has the possibility of making it through the program, but we have to start looking for more candidates for the program."

"I won't lower the standards we set for captains. If the men don't make it, I don't care if a zebra makes it over them. If we only have women we only have women captains. It makes no difference to me. No one knows Gordon is a Captain. He is going to be called upon to be one very shortly. We are going to go on eight hour shifts, and you and I will be able to take days off to get some rest. I haven't been feeling well, and I could really use it."

"Don't you dare die on me, because that will leave me as the senior captain, and the judge. Every infraction somebody makes I have to make the decision. I'm not ready for that responsibility."

"I'll make you a deal, 7 more children, and I won't die."

"Goodbye Even, your sister is waiting for you."

"You are mean."

"No more children. You have all the fun, and I have to wait 9 months to get rid of them. It's not going to happen my love. I love you more than my own life, but one time you promised me no more children, then you went back on your word. I should've left you then, but I'm not allowed to divorce you. I can make you sleep in another bedroom if that's what you want, and that's what I'll do."

"I've checked the condom situation and they don't have anything close to my size. I will have to get another vasectomy. I was stupid enough to leave mine at home. Whoever moves in is going to think the jolly green giant live there. I will talk to Finch about the vasectomy first thing in the morning."

"Thank you Even, you're back to where you should of been 3 children ago."

"Please don't be angry with me; I can't stand it when you're angry with me."

"How can I stay angry with you, when I think about Richard and Holden building Good Luck 2. Who knows what these 2 are going to build. I just don't want any more children."

"There will be no more children. I promise you that from the bottom of my heart."

"That's good enough for me, lie down, while I find a pair of scissors."

"What are you going to do with a pair of scissors."

"I'm going to give you a free vasectomy."

"Okay, just make sure you have enough light. I have to go back to work soon."

"Even, you are out of your mind."

"I may be, but I trust you implicitly."

"Get some sleep Even."

"Only if you are in my arms."

"That works for me, my side of the bed seems to be all wet."

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 

Gray walked into the infirmary to find Delicious talking amiably with the student nurses. She was in a hospital gown, and still heavily pregnant, as he went over and kissed her hello.

"Hello baby, they just told me that you were here. What's going on?"

She returned his kiss, and replied, "My water broke, but I'm not dilated. They getting ready to do a cesarean section, because it's almost been an hour, and I have no labor pains, and is not good for the babies."

"Is Finch any good at this, otherwise I'll get Jack to do it."

"From what I've been told, Jack is a master with a blade. If you don't believe me, ask..."

A bed pan went flying past his nose, missing by less than a hair's breath. Everyone turned and looked towards Hannah.

"I'm sorry about that Gray. It must have just come out of the sterilizer, and I didn't realize it was still hot."

Gray retrieved the pan. It was ice cold. He returned it to Hannah, and she accepted it graciously. She whispered, "If you finish that sentence, this pan will be attached to your ass permanently."

Joe Finch walked into the room, and kissed Delicious. "Okay you, hop up on the table, and let's do this thing."

Delicious grabbed him by the throat. "Joseph, if I even see a hint of a line on my belly, when these stitches heal, I can promise you that you will not have one restful night's sleep for the rest of your life."

Gray yelled, "Delicious, we have a deal."

She walked over to her husband, and kissed him. She whispered into his ear, "I know we do, and I will not break that vow. However, I am allowed to make idle threats, can't I?"

"I'm only doing it for you darling. I don't want you looking at a scarred up body, when he's trained to make me look like a movie star. If he fucks up, I should have the right to kill him."

"No you don't. You're not allowed to hit, or abuse anyone on this ship anymore. That includes your brother or anyone else that normally antagonizes you. You have to change baby, you must change. Do you agree with me on that or not?"

"Yes Gray, I agree, and I will go along with what we agreed on."

"However, if you come to me with a grievance, and I believe it's worthy of action, I will take our beloved Doctor, and write your name across his chest with one of the scalpels. Will that be all right with you?"

"Yes dear, that will be sufficient."

"You can deliver our twins now Doctor Finch."

"You two put on a very good act together. We are going to have to turn the two of you into a comedy team. Gray, if you're staying in here get washed up and into your greens. Hannah, his hair is all greasy, see if you can do something about it. A cap won't be sufficient."

Joe winked at her, and Hannah nodded her head.

"Come with me Gray, we have to do this in another area so it doesn't get all over the surgical suite."

Hannah took him back into a combination laundry room, storage room, catchall room. If it didn't belong anywhere else, it was here.

"Gray, after I wet down your hair with hot water, this is what's going to happen. I'm going to use Betadine surgical solution to get this garbage out of your hair. Then I'm going to put these vibrators on my hands so he can get all the way down to your scalp and get it clean in less than a minute. I will put conditioner on your hair, and let it sit for one-minute, before I wash it out, dry your head, and put a cap over it. Because the Betadine surgical solution is so intense you can either hold gauze pads over your eyes or I can tape them there, it's your choice."

"As long as you don't put the tape over my eyebrows, I'm okay with you taping it."

"Okay, that's fine. I want you to put the vibrators on your hands, and rub them through your hair. You will know what it feels like when I'm rubbing it through. Some women feel a very intense tingling down lower, I've never had to do this with a man."

"In that case this should be very interesting Hannah."

Gray put the machines on his hands, and Hannah threw the switches. As Gray ran the machines through his hair the feeling was quite intense. After 30 seconds, Hannah turned off the machine.

"Very interesting Hannah, very interesting indeed."

"Should I ask for an in-depth explanation of what very interesting means?"

"I know sex goes from the pituitary gland and proceeds lower, so I would say those things do marvelous, marvelous work."

"Leave it to a man to get technical. Not one woman mentioned anything technical. All they mentioned was sex. Let me get your head wet, so I can tape you up and get this done. Be advised this water will be hot."

As soon as Hannah started putting the water on his head, Gray howled.

"Holy Cow, you weren't kidding."

"We are restricted to the same rules you are as far as time limits on water. The only difference is we have the surgical lotions to clean up with before and after surgeries. The surgical equipment does not have that restriction."

"Close your eyes I'm going to put the gauze over them now. Breathe through your mouth not through your nose. We don't want any of the Betadine getting in there."

Hannah poured a generous amount of Betadine solution on his head and told him she was about to turn the vibrators on and to just relax. Unknown to him she replaced one of the vibrators with a hair trimmer they used to remove body hair patients awaiting surgery. As she moved the vibrator the trimmer was right behind it. Gray never felt one piece of hair leaving his head the overhead camera saw it all, and believed it was all a part of a procedure.

Hannah asked, "How are you feeling Gray, and please don't tell me about your pituitary gland?" She didn't stop moving her hands as she awaited his answer.

"At this point Hannah, I would say it is having more effect on my kidneys than anywhere else. I don't feel any sexual motivation or anything. The vibration is just making me want to go to the bathroom."

"Okay, I'm almost done, and all this grease is really coming out. Hair looks much better now. What were you using on it?"

"The same stuff Delicious uses on her hair."

"That's why your hair was so greasy. You should use a bar soap rather than that stuff. All done, let me rinse off your head and put the conditioner on it. Let me put booties on you, and get you a gown so we can save some time. Just lie still."

After putting the booties on, and the arms through the gown, Hannah washed the conditioner off his head. She put 2 caps on his head, took the gauze off his eyes, and the heavy towels that covered him into the sink behind him to cover up the evidence. She tied up the back of the gown, put gloves on his hands and led him out of the room.

Doctor Finch asked, "Is the grease gone?"

"Yes Doctor, I used the Betadine solution, and the vibrator. No grease could survive that treatment."

"Okay, get yourself ready to assist me. I'm going to give her a spinal block now."

"Okay Gray, since you're squeaky clean now, help me with your wife."

"What would you like me to do Doctor?"

"Oh now it's all nice because I'm about to help your wife. Before you were going to rip my lungs out."

"It was just a joke Joe, and you know it."

"Just remember Gray, he who laughs last laughs most."

"I don't think that's the way it goes."

"Would you two guys stop arguing over me. I have 2 children inside me that would like to be born today, if at all possible."

"I'm sorry Delicious, it's my fault. Gray help me turn her on her side. You're going to feels cold solution going on your back. Gray hold tight, don't let her move. "Delicious you going to feel a very big pinch on the count of 3. Ready, count, out loud, along with me."

"Ready, begin one..."

"OUUUUCCCHHH, you lying sack of shit."

"That wasn't too bad for my first spinal block."

"What do you mean your first?"

"I am not an anesthesiologist. I am a plastic surgeon. I am learning all this stuff on the fly. I'm delivering babies by the dozen, while at the same time I am trying to learn how to remove that damn thing from your brother's head. I know more about vagina's now, than I ever wanted to know. It's taking all the fun out of sex. If it wasn't for Hannah, I would be going crazy. The trainees are doing wonderfully, but they are about six months to a year away from being certified nurses.

Hannah is beating on them to move faster. I beating on Hannah to move faster to become a doctor. I don't think either of us has gotten 6 straight hours of sleep in the past 2 months."

"Joseph if you don't stop complaining, we will be here for the rest of the night."

"Who said that, somebody called my name. Everyone's on this side of me and my name came from behind me. Who's behind me?

"Do you need a roadmap Doctor?"

"Call me Joseph and I'll get to work."

"Go home Doctor, I'll do the cesarean. I know someone that's very good with blades."

"Call me Joseph. It will keep me sane, while we go through all this nonsense."

"Will you stop complaining all the time?"

"No, but I will complain a lot less."

"Joseph get to work. I want to be out of here in an hour and 10 minutes. If you leave a scar on that woman's belly I'm going to give you a trim."

Joe grabbed his crotch, and said, "Yes ma'am."

Hannah said, "Gray unless you have a very strong stomach I suggest you move up towards your wife's head, while we put up the sterile field."

"I think I'll visit my wife's head."

"Abigail get him something to sit on."

"Hello little girl, how are you feeling?"

"When are you going to learn that I not little?"

"When are you going to learn that it is a term of endearment?"

"It feels like these 2 are fighting in there."

"I want them to be like you Gray. I don't want them to be like me. All I am is trouble, and you are the finest man God ever created. Did you notice with this pregnancy, neither Newton or Teddy were able to talk to the babies?"

"Yes I noticed. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing."

"Delicious can you feel my finger?"

"It all depends Doctor, where is your finger?"

"I'm about to cut open your stomach. I would like to know if you can feel my finger?"

"No Doctor Finch, I am unable to feel your finger. You may proceed with pulling out my twins."

"What are we going to name the Gray?"

"I'm sure Teddy will have something to say about it. If not, I'd like to name one of them after your mother, and the boy after my father. Don't you dare cry."

"How can I not cry. You the most wonderful person in the world, and I almost lost you, because I am a bitch."

"You can change that statement now. You are no longer a bitch; you are a bitch in recovery. Like a recovering alcoholic, you are changing the way you cope. It will take time, but we love each other, and we will make it work."

This tender moment was interrupted by the loud cry of a baby boy. Seconds later, he was joined by his sister.

Doctor Finch looked at Gray and said, "Congratulations, you have a pair of identical twins that look just like you."

"How can you tell, they're so tiny. The boy has no hair, and the girl has hair all over her head."

"Gray, you look at the faces, and the other features, not the hair. You should know that by now."

"Hello over there, can I see my babies yet?"

The 2 men turned around with nothing in their hands.

Joe Finch said, "We don't have them, the nurses are cleaning them up, before they bring them over to you."

"Joseph why are you jawing with my husband, when you should be closing my stomach?"

"My Singer sewing machine broke, so I'm waiting for the Chinese model."

"Singer sewing machines are made in China. Do you have anything else to say?"

"I think I'll close up your wife now."

"May I borrow your communicator please?"

"Thank you. Delicious Thyme to Captain Luck. Delicious Thyme to Captain Luck."

"Hi baby how did it go?"

"It went great dad. The only real pain I felt was when he gave me the spinal block, and he is putting me back together now. That is when the real pain should start."

"I'm sorry you had to do it that way. How long is the recovery period? Do you know?"

"I haven't asked Joe yet, but I'll get there. How is mom feeling?"

"Frisky."

"Already, she just had twins."

"I have to have something taken care of before we can start playing games again, but she definitely is frisky."

"You're going to get yourself fixed again?"

"Permanently this time. She has laid down the law, and I will obey."

"Well now is the time to do it, because you can't do it anyhow."

"Exactly my point."

"I remember the day you brought her home dad. I couldn't believe she picked someone like you."

"What do you mean someone like me?"

"Let's face it dad, 15 years ago, you were not what anyone would call 'the catch of the day.' Any woman would have had to hold her nose while she said, "I do" as you walked down the aisle in a striped shirt, plaid pants, mismatched socks and boots with holes in the bottom of them. That is if you made it to the church in that car of yours. The transmission threatened to drop out every time you hit that hole in the street, but as far as you were concerned, it ran fine as long as you got the oil changed on time. You are the dumbest smart man I have ever met dad, and I love you."

"If you put down your phone I can give you a kiss."

"Why do you always do this to me?"

"Probably because I love you too, and I came down to see my grandchildren. There are pictures of your husband all over the ship with his new haircut. Apparently, there was a verbal altercation between Joe, Hannah, and Gray when he got here?"

"It was all in fun dad. I told Joe he wouldn't have good nights' sleep forever, if he left a scar on my stomach. Gray backed me up on it. What kind of pictures do they have of Gray?"
