I walked into the hotel restaurant and immediately saw Mandy sitting at a nearby table close to the doorway. She was watching intently for my arrival,...and she smiled the prettiest smile I've ever seen on her face when she spotted me. I wondered what Mandy had planned until I saw Mandy stand up and move around from where she'd been sitting to greet me. Mandy was every bit of five months pregnant. I'll have to admit that on one hand, I was totally surprised. Mandy was the one babe I'd known who. " It does seem that way to some people," agreed Steven, "but the Confederacy describes it as allowing life to continue with the minimum of disruption to those who remain behind." I take it the Confederacy is going to supply me with a maid and children to fill the space that's been left here?" asked Ben.Heather looked at her shoes and Steven just stared at the angry man and shook his head negatively."I didn't think so," said Ben. "I take it there is nothing I can do to change things or get to. All Amber can see above her is this crew of men holding her down, a bright light and the rafters in the warehouse ceiling. Their strong hands start groping Amber through her clothes.“Wow, feel how firm these tits are” one of them declares.“And her legs, she must shaved just for us” another laughs as their hands roam freely over her body.Amber’s too stunned to fight them off. Everything is happening so fast she’s still in shock by what’s happening to her. Next thing she knows they start. " We'll see." She shrugged and had a soft smile.I didn't want to argue. I had something much more important on my mind."Dad is gone now," I said."Yes." And you have no one now." I'm okay." No, it's not." Sure, it is." I understand now, Mom. You have me - to replace Dad in the way you need." I didn't send you to the reunion so you could come back and..."I cut Mom off."I know that but I understand what true family means now. I want to be there for you, Mom. In all ways. I can't be Dad but I can.
