When they came back, Tony had Lucy’s hand and they were running and laughing, just like children should. They watched and waited as Tony ate his thi...d hamburger.John smiled at his new son as he remembered coming home from Vietnam and the first time he was at a restaurant, he too devoured three big hamburgers. These hamburgers tasted good. If all the red meat in Omak tasted that good, he just might include a bit more in his diet.Peter and Patty showed up, got to eat and were invited along for. He wasn't sure if this was the right time, but a vision of Captain Jack Sparrow convinced him there may never be a better time."Elaina?" Hmm?" I love you."He held her as she started shaking. "Elaina?" Please, Rob. Don't ask that of me. I ... I don't know what I'm feeling for you. Please?" Shh. It's okay. I know how I feel about you. And now you know. Nothing you can say will change that."She shook like she was sobbing, but he couldn't see her face. He simply held her tight until she slept some. Then Mom said, “Not bad. Not bad at all! I’d like to meet this girl.”I said, “I don’t think you would approve.”Mom laughed and said, “You don’t know what I would approve of, young man. That finger tells me that I would approve of her.” Then Mom sucked my finger into her mouth. I could feel her tongue swirling around my finger washing it clean. Then Mom released my finger and said, “Oh yes, I approve of her all right. Does she belong to that pair of panties that I found in your tent?”I blushed. He explained that the use of fishing boats and hunting subs came into use because the traditional way of hunting them was so dangerous, that many men were killed each year and the acceptance of subs and boats became accepted with traditions. I snorted at that and told him what I felt about traditions that could be altered when it fit the men and first born but was as rigid and unchangeable when it came to the rights of others. He simply ignored me and told me that during the height of the clan.
