TUESDAY APRIL 30

I woke with a knock on the door as usual. The babies sleep through the night so the last thing I remember is shutting my eyes. Matthew came out of the bathroom but was wearing woodland-camouflaged uniform. He opened the door letting Mom and the ladies in. He then kissed me and said, I have got to go. I don’t want to be late. I said, I will miss you and he was out the door. His life had taken another turn. He never thought he would have a group of men he could depend his life on. He also never thought he would be going through special training with them. He was working on the training center when these men came into his life. His life was much much more than he ever thought would be. It had so much meaning now.

Matthew showed on the track with all his men, Katarina and Conner. Conner said, I am not going to stay but told Matthew what he would like the group to do to get ready for his program. He said, it would be as close as possible to the Marine program and would not be easy. He told everyone that these exercises they are doing now would tell them how they would do in his program. Matthew thanked him and the group was off.

Mom had arranged a whole day. After breakfast we went to the family room where Mom told me Hunter and Wyatt were going to be in 3 weddings. That 2 of Matthew’s men were getting getting married and a couple of days after that Scott was marring Katarina. I said, wow. That is great. They make a great looking couple. Mom said, it doesn’t bother you? I said, no. I only wish Scott well. He deserves to be happy. I am so in love with Matthew I have no interest in even looking at another man. Mom said, that is good to hear. Matthew is so in love with you and it would kill him if you had feelings for another man. He also loves the children you gave him. I said, I love the children Matthew gave me. Mom smiled really big. Mom measured the kids to see if they had grown since she measured them last. She said, kids grow so fast. After lunch we waited an hour and then Mom took the kids to the pool and I went to the gym. I did my work out and then after showering I went to the pool to join the kids. Matthew said, when his program started he was going to be gone a lot. I thought I am really going to miss him.

Matthew and Katarina were out front of the men. Katarina flew around the track effortlessly. Matthew was thinking that it wasn’t easy for him to keep up. He wondered if Scott being younger had trouble keeping up with her. After the run everyone went to the tent and did mediation outside until breakfast.

After breakfast in the tent Matthew explained about the wedding for the the 2 men. He explained when it was to be and what they were to wear. Jean would be wearing his white robe and everyone else was to wear their best robe. Matthew said, his kids were going to be in the weddings. One couple will walk down the aisle and then the other. Jean will marry both couples together. Walker asked to speak. Matthew said. yes. Walker said, I grew up on a horse ranch and wanted to get married in his black western hat and shirt. He then said, would that be ok, with all of you? Matthew said, yes. This is your day. We want you to be happy. Everyone else shook their heads and said, yes. Walker then said to Matthew, If I buy you boots, a hat and shirt would you wear them? Matthew said, I already have them and would be glad to wear them. Walker said, thankyou. He then said to everyone, If you have western wear could you wear it? A couple men said they did and would wear them. Walker said, this will be great and everyone else will wear their robes or what they feel is best. Walker said to Carter, is that ok with you. Carter said. yes. Can I wear wedding attire? Matthew said, yes. If that is what you want. Then Katarina said, her wedding was going to be Sunday. She said, Scott and I will be wearing our martial arts outfits. Matthew’s kids will be wearing their martial arts outfit. Katarina said to Matthew, would you wear your martial arts outfit since you are giving me away? Matthew said, yes. I would be fine with that. Katarina said to everyone, if you have a martial arts outfit would you wear yours? Unlike the western wear more people had martial arts outfits. Katarina said, that would be great. Katarina said, unlike the other two weddings, Katarina wanted everyone to bring their families and she wanted to have a big party afterword. This is a happy day for me and I want everyone else to be happy. Several of the men said to each other that Scott was really a luck guy. Then Katarina handed everyone woodland-camouflaged bandanas. She said, these will help under your hat for sweat. Everyone went over some more points about the gym work outs. Then the meeting ended and everyone headed to the gym.

My day was good and Matthew showed around dinner. Matthew and I went swimming before going in. He is so sweet and swimming in the pool with him is great. I slept great. The doctor had taken a blood test when I went in and a pap. She said, she didn’t see anything wrong. She said, these things can happen from a lot of things, constipation, child birth, what I am eating, and many many things. Can’t wait until the doctor gets back the blood test.

Scott and Katarina showed at the pool late at night. Scott brought some goodies, protein drinks and other things. They went swimming and then laid on a blanket under the stars. Scott told her he would go to the gym and help design a workout. He would also work up diets for the men and her. She was so excited. After a lot of swimming and kissing they had to go in. Both didn’t want to go but thought it was best.

WEDNESDAY MAY 1 I woke up and Cindy was there. She said, Matthew had to leave early to go to the track. I spent the rest of today like any other day. Mom got the wedding things for the kids around 6pm and after dinner tried everything on the kids. They looked good. I told Hunter she looked good in her Martial arts outfit which was a mistake because she didn’t want grandma to take it off. I really liked their western wear. I remember how great Matthew looked in his western wear. I also was thinking about how he looked without it. Naked and sexy. Mom showed Hunter a basket that she would have flower peddles in and how she was going to walk down a row and throw them. Hunter thought that was great. Wyatt wanted the basket. Mom showed him a purple pillow with fringe and said, this one is yours and you are going to carry the rings. Matthew had the men tell him what kind of rings and sizes. He had Mom order the ones for the 2 men. Katarina and Scott were getting theirs’s themselves. When I went to bed Matthew was not home yet and it gave me that lonely feeling. I woke in the middle of the night to see him and went back to sleep feeling everything was great.

THURSDAY MAY 2 I woke up again and Matthew was gone. I got up and started get ready for the new day. Mom tried to teach Hunter to throw flowers gently and Wyatt to walk with out loosing the rings. I went to the gym and tried to push it so I could see results. The day was good. I slept ok.

FRIDAY MAY 3 This was the big wedding day for the 2 men. After lunch around 1:00 Mom put the kids in the western wear. They looked so cute. Wyatt with his bow tie. A few minutes later Matthew showed in this black shirt, black jeans, black boots, his special tie and black hat. Oh, boy. Did he look good. I winked at him and said, oh, wow. He smiled really big and said, so you like this? I said, yes. I sure do. Matthew said, well my wife might have something to say if you try to mess with me. Mom said, Amy is going to help Hunter and I am going to help Wyatt. Jean showed and the 2 men showed. Everyone looked great. I saw Katarina go in. She looked great also. It was 10 minutes to 2 and Jean said, lets do this. Everyone was so happy. Jean lead everyone to the tent. He was wearing his white robe with gold trim. He showed the men where they would stand. Then a golf cart came with 2 brides maids. It pulled in front of the tent. They got out and went in. They were wearing beautiful dresses. Matthew’s men kept showing and going in. Then a golf cart showed with the 2 girls and Carlson. Carlson was wearing the black formal wedding attire with the bow tie. He looked really good. Everyone got out. Carlson turned to Melissa and said, do I look ok? Melissa looked at him and said, you look great. Carlson said, I was worried. You 2 look so beautiful. I wanted to look my best for your special day. He put his arm out to Melissa and said, shall we go. Melissa smiled really big and took his arm stepping to the door of the tent. Matthew put his arm out for Jade and they stepped behind Carlson. Amy and Mom with the kids stood behind Matthew and Jade. One of the men at the door said to Jean, everyone is ready. Jean said, is everyone here. Everyone looked around at each other and then said, yes. Jean said, start the music. The music started and Carlson started walking Melissa down the aisle. Everyone else followed. Amy helped Hunter. She said, throw the flowers like grandma said. She did a good job. Mom had to help Wyatt because he became tired of holding the pillow. The photographer was taking lots of pictures. Wyatt got tired of holding the pillow and sat on the floor. Everyone gave a little laugh. Jean started, We are gathered here together. When they got to the rings Mom had Wyatt stand up and she helped him walk up to put the rings in reach of the couples. The grooms put their rings on the brides and then the brides put the rings of the men. Jean finally said, you may kiss the brides. Walker said to Jade, you are so beautiful. I don’t think I have ever seen a more beautiful woman. May I kiss you? Jade smiled. She wasn’t expecting him to ask. She said, yes. Walker gave her a good kiss and everyone cheered. Melissa and Jade were now married. Wyatt moved and the couples started down the row. Outside were golf carts with signs that said, just married and cans attached to make noise. The brides maids threw rice while the couples got in their carts that took then to another tent a few feet away. Everyone else walked. This tent had flowers and tables with two cakes. Their were other tables with food. And one table with gifts. Music was playing. Jean came and had the couples stand behind the cakes. Jean with everyone else seated talked about how this was the beginning of a wonderful life for the couples. The couple each cut their cake and feed it to each other. Jade tried to get cake all over Walker’s face but Walker was too fast for her. He then said to Jade. I am not going to treat you that way by messing up your beautiful face. So he gently fed her the cake. They had 2 tables for the couples to sit at with food. Walker handed 2 plates to one of the men and said, could you put these on our table and he cut more pieces for everyone else. Mom got a plate for her and Wyatt. Cindy did the same for her and Hunter. They sat at a table while the kids at the cake. Walker then took Jade’s hand leading her to their table to leave his hat. He then led Jade to the dance floor where Carter and Melissa were dancing. Jade didn’t know if she wanted to do this but saw Carter and Melissa dancing. Also Matthew was near by watching her. She put her hand on his shoulder and they were off. Jade was surprised. Here was a handsome, sexy looking man, educated, could dance well, saved her from the guillotine by marring her. Life could have gone really bad. He pulled her close and said, I don’t know what I did to deserve such a beautiful sweet women. She looked at him and smiled. She was happy. She thought why fight it. In a couple of years maybe he will let her go. After the second dance Matthew showed and said can I cut in? Walker stepped back and Matthew started dancing with Jade. He said to her, what do you think? She said, about Walker? She looked at Matthew and said, Not bad. Matthew said, Walker really cares about you. I think if someone harmed you he would put his life on the line to save you. It would be in your best interest not to hurt him. Jade said, I don’t plan on it. Beside he is really sexy. Matthew smiled, good. I would hate to have to terminate you. Walker stepped up and said to Matthew, do you have the song ache, breaky heart or a song we can dance to. Matthew said, I will go look. Walker said to Jade, do you line dance? She said, yes. The couples stood near each other but apart with the men on one side and the women facing them. When the western song came on Walker started dancing. Jade lifted her wedding dress to her ankles and said to Melissa, remember when we went line dancing? Just do that. Melissa grabbed her dress and raised it to her ankles so she would not step on it. Walker was smiling from ear to ear. His new wife could dance. After dancing, eating and talking to everyone. Matthew said to the couples, your ride awaits you. Mom had made you two plates of food and cake for the couples to take home. The couples came out of the tent, people threw rice, they got in the labeled carts and were driven home. At Walkers door he waved his hand and the door unlocked. He opened the door and picked up Jade. He carried her in the house and set her down. Jade thought he is really strong because he did that without any effort and I am not really skinny. He kissed her and said, Welcome to your new home my love. Another cart showed with food and gifts. The couple watched as two men brought in food and gifts placing them on the kitchen table. They then left closing the door. Walker said to Jade, do you want me to help you out of your wedding dress. Jade said, no. Walker hung his hat on a hook near the door. He then said, your wedding dress goes on this hanger and on this hook. She said, ok. She tried to unbutton it in back but couldn’t. She then said, could you undo the buttons. He undid them and then she was able to get out. He went to the bedroom and came out naked. Jade put her fingers over her eyes and peeked out between two fingers. Walker said, I am going to take a shower do you want to join me? Jade said, no. Walker said, ok. I just though I would offer. Walker went back in the bedroom and into the bathroom. After the shower he dried off and came out naked. He went to the kitchen table where Jade was sitting in her underwear. She looked at him again and said, don’t you have any clothes? Walker said, yes. I do. But at home I like to be comfortable so I don’t wear anything. Jade picked up her plate and drink. She sat in a chair in the living room. Walker fixed himself a plate with a glass of cold water and headed to the living room. Jade looked to her left and there was his thing at eye level. Her eyes were very big. Walker said, you are in my chair. I bought that pretty little one for you. She didn’t look up but said, did you sit naked in this chair? He said, yes. She said, did you sit naked in that chair? Walker said, no. That is your chair. She turned her eyes and looked at his thing. She thought he is not only good looking he has quite a package. She got up and moved to her chair. She said, have you ever been married before? Walker replied, no. Have you? Jade said, no. I had a boyfriend once I thought I might want to marry. But it didn’t work out. Jade said, why haven’t you been married before? Walker said, I am not too good with the girls. Jade thought I would think women would be all over him. What is wrong with him. Walker went on. I moved around a lot before here and my jobs are dangerous. I got shot once. He pointed to his right shoulder and said, which put me in the hospital for 2 months. It took longer to get it to work again. Jade just shook her head she was listening. She said, what do you do for entertainment? He said, I like to watch game shows and go to the gym. She said, could we watch a game show? Walker got up and took his laptop. It was protected by his finger. He opened it and found “Wheel of Fortune”. He said, good. This one is just coming on. She looked up while he put his laptop on the table and his butt was facing her. She thought nice butt. He sat back on his chair. When they would have a couple of letters, he would say the puzzle. Jade said, have you seen this show before? He said, no. Why? You seem to know the answers before anyone else. He said, Well. It just comes to me. Jade said, don’t say the answer out loud. I don’t have a chance to work on it. He said, ok. A few minutes went by and he said, its. He stopped and looked at her. She looked at him and said, ok. What is it? He gave her the answer. She said, ok. I see it? You are really smart. He smiled really big. When 8pm came around Walker got up, closed the laptop and collected any plates. He went to the kitchen and cleaned up. He came back to the living room and said, I have to get up by 4pm, so I am going to sleep. Are you coming. Jade followed him to the bedroom where he laid down on the bed. He patted on the bed and said, this is your side. Jade took the door knob in one hand and said, this is my bed now. You go sleep in the Livingroom. Walker got up with a pouting look. He said, is this anyway to treat your loving husband? When he got to Jade he stopped and looked at her. Before she knew what happened he gapped her hand off the door knob, spun her around out the door, shutting and locking it on his side. He said loudly, this is my bed. You can sleep on the couch. She said, what if I have to go pee? Walker said, there is a door in the kitchen to the bathroom and there is a new tooth brush in there for you. Jade said, what if I get cold? Walker replied, there are pillows and blankets on the couch. Good night. See you at 4. Walker locked the bathroom door on his side incase she wanted to come in. He was not going to give her another chance tonight. He didn’t have to show for the run in the morning but if she was not going to sleep with him, why not. Jade went in the bathroom, peed, brushed her teeth and tried the bedroom side door. It was locked. She went to the Livingroom and folded out a blanket thinking I need one for the bottom because he most likely sat on this naked. She then laid down. Not to comfortable. She then pulled up a banket and tried to sleep. Her butt keep sliding between the cushions. She thought I am going to have to be more careful with my words. I am never going to get any sleep tonight. Walker was laying on his bed thinking what a great day he had. He wondered how long it would take for her to come around.

At Carters house, Melissa was sound asleep in her new husbands arms. She really liked him. He wasn’t like the guys she had been dating. She started dreaming about him. Carter was so happy. He believes he is in love.

Matthew went home with us. Hunter and Wyatt told Matthew about what they did and wanted to do it again. Matthew said, I can fix it so you can do that again. On Sunday. Hunter and Wyatt were excited about that. In bed with my head on Matthew’s shoulder he said, Do you think I looked good today. I said, you looked fantastic. The sexiest guy there. He said, did you hear back from the doctor. I said, no, but the doctor did say anything from constipation to child birth can cause the problem. I am curious what the blood taste says. He said, I may be gone when you get up because I have to get out there early for the run. I said, I will miss you. He kissed me on the head and said, good night.
