Seeing is believing

Everyone’s plans got tossed out the door. Mary and Kathy would be going straight home immediately to see if Mary really could heal her husband. Literally everyone wanted to be there but Mary didn’t want it to seem like a circus. Melissa begged to go along to record the event. Sonia, as the only expert in Stretcher Kings and their miracles, would be going. And finally Caleb insisted he go as well, which meant they had to include April.

April handed Mary and Melissa panic buttons and explained their use as Sonia spoke on the phone with the members of the sisterhood she was supposed to be meeting. Kathy was on the phone with Lottie to reschedule with the seamstress.

Kathy was so excited she skipped the kiss and grope with the other women and dragged her mother along as she hurried to the SUV. April and Melissa were already inside. Sonia gave very quick kisses to all the girls remaining behind and she and Caleb were out the door.

Amelia closed the door behind them and turned to the other girls. She said, "Ok ladies, it's going to be a while before we hear anything. To prevent us all from going stir crazy waiting let's organize and get stuff done around here. We have guest coming later. Tina and Hazel, I want fresh linens on all the beds, including your parents bed, Hazel. Gabbie, I hear you love to bake. Let me know what you need and I'll have Katie get it at the store. Not one word of this gets out without Caleb and Mary's Ok. Got it?"

A bunch of yesses and nodding heads answered her. She went on, "Chris, Angie, Megumi and I will work on cleaning the house. Chris, since your tallest I would like you to do the ceiling fans and tops of the bookcases and such. I'll make a grocery list for Katie and handle the laundry. Angie and Megumi, one of you do the kitchen and the other the bathrooms. As you finish make your way to the living room and we can all focus on that room."

As the ladies headed to get started on their chores Megumi asked, "How did I get wrangled into cleaning?"

Angie put her arm around her mom and said, "Come on Mom. You think you're going to be staying in our dinky little apartment when I move in with Caleb? You'll be moving in with us. You better get used to it."

Mary and Kathy had calmed considerably before April parked in the driveway to the Daniels home. They were still quite excited but they didn't race to the door. Instead they waited for everyone to exit the cramped vehicle and merely hurried to the door.

Mary let herself in and was greeted by her middle daughter whom she introduced to the group as Brandy. She didn't wait for the kiss and grope routine to finish before she said, "Kathy take Caleb and April to your room. Take Brandy with you."

Brandy gave her mother a puzzled look and asked, "What's going on Mom? And who are all these people?"

"Kathy will tell you, now go." She said as she made her way to the living room where her husband Mark sat listening to the television. She looked down upon the man that she met 23 years before when she took a summer job before she was supposed to head to college. He was her boss, and nearly 20 years older than her. But he was handsome and charming and kind. She got pregnant and Mark had done the honorable thing and married her. For 15 of those 23 years he had taken care of their family and they lived a good life. His health had steadily deteriorated in the last eight.

First was the trembles of Parkinson's, then his eyesight started to go bad, he was almost completely blind now, and the list of health problems went on and on. Melissa got out her camera phone and started recording as Mary kissed her husband hello.

He said, "Hey babe. How was your night with the Stretcher King? Was it as good as Kathy promised it would be?"

She smiled at him even though all he saw was a blur. "Yes, my love. It was very good. Thank you for giving me permission."

He laughed and said, "Nonsense. Of course I gave you permission. He's a Stretcher King for crying out loud. And it's not like I can do anything for you anymore anyway."

Mary giggled and said, "Well, that may not stay true much longer." She removed her shirt and said, "I need you to do something for me. You remember back when the girls were babies. I would always need you to help me whenever I got engorged and you would suckle me and drink my milk?"

Mark said, "Mary dear, If your trying to get Mr. Happy to rise to the occasion you're wasting your time. He's an old dead soldier now."

Mary chuckled and said, "No dear, I'm not trying to wake your pleasure stick, at least, not yet. You see, Caleb, he... did something to me last night. I'm pregnant and-"

Mark exclaimed, "Oh Mary that's wonderful. A Stretcher Kings baby. I had hoped he would give Kathy one but for him to give you one first. Well that's even better. And don't get all worried about money. We'll get by, we always have."

"Mark!" she said, "Listen to me. It's not just that. I'm making milk again. And I want you to drink it."

He laughed and said, "Oh well, if that's what you wanted, I can still do that for you. Come sit on my lap like you used to."

He raised his trembling hand and patted his lap. Mary straddled him and held her breast up to his face. She blushed when she saw Melissa with the camera and Sonia smiling behind her. She rubbed her nipple up and down his lips and when he opened his mouth she slipped it inside.

He began with short quick sucks and Mary felt her milk let down. As soon as he tasted her he switched to long deep sucks and she could actually hear him gulping. He raised his hands and replaced her own upon her breast. He sucked for what seemed like forever. Long unused muscle memory moved her hands to massage the mammary glands to ensure they were all flowing properly.

When he had nearly drained her his eyes lifted and stared up at her. Her nipple slipped from his mouth and he raised a steady hand to caress her cheek.

Tears fell from both of their eyes as he whispered, "I can see."
