Please them," she said flatly, then hung up. I looked at the clock and realized that, in a few hours, Mark would be getting her pregnant in my bed on ...y anniversary. That made me smile, and if you're honest, it makes you smile as well.Ten more minutes passed before a middle-aged woman walked with a man half her age. She was a short redhead with green eyes, pale white skin, large B-cups and had smokers' lines above her upper lip. He looked exactly like her, only half her age. I'm assuming mother. I called again, but no one answered so I went in, my blaster ready.I entered a common room with a table, chairs and a small portable Serve-Matic on one side.

I wanted to make sure.
