I had wheeled the cart into the other room to wash out the coffee maker, fill it with water, and make the coffee for the next day, It only took about ...0 minutes, so the coffee was ready when Top came in.He went first and got a cup of the coffee, then sat down at the desk to check the report log. There were only the normal entries, as nothing out of the ordinary had happened that he needed to be made aware of. He and I sat there and chatted until the Company Clerk and the Company Commander came. " Jane admitted, smiling slightly at the memory."So I suppose the seeds of what would eventually transpire were always there, but it was one specific event that finally pushed matters into a more serious realm. And that event surrounded your Father." Jane announced, looking at Tom for his reaction."My dad?" Tom asked, bewildered. "What did he have to do with anything?" Well, hon. Your Mom was not the first one to meet your Father. I was. In fact, I'd been dating your Father for several weeks. Tom just shook his head and turned to Mei, "Get them some herbs and make sure that they know how to use them. We don't need a houseful of little ones running around here."Mei nodded her head and started to lead the girls off when Jennifer suddenly stopped, "Sir the thought of little ones reminded me. I take care of my little brother and sister now that momma is gone." Tom turned to see her biting her lip and her worried look was back."How old are they?" Tom watched as Jennifer seemed to think. "Oh yea my mommy brushed my hair and did my hair different today. Shesaid it would feel better like this in the heat and so far she is rightit must be a 100 degrees already outside."Tammy continues to smile at me and I feel myself smiling back at her. "Iknew it was something, yes she is right I am sure you feel much coolerwith your hair up and that makes you look much prettier too." I smilehearing her comment, but then it hits me she just said I look pretty, andboys don't look pretty, they look.
