Same Time Next Year

"Andy, I just stopped in to say thanks."

"Thanks? I don't understand."

"You saved Andrea's life. You'll find that she's the sweetest little girl and I'm going to miss her. I'm leaving for California tomorrow. I just talked to the doctors and Andrea's body seems to have accepted your liver. She's starting to get her color back."

"Eric, maybe you and Mel can work it out. I know she has respect for you."

"Andy, let's not kid each other. If she loved me like she does you, I'd gladly stay married to her. I've played second fiddle for nearly ten years hoping she would get over you but she never did and probably never will. We've had a good marriage but I want my wife to love me, not just respect me. Can you understand that? We don't argue and we do things together but her heart belongs to you. I can no longer live like this, especially since everyone will know that Andrea is not my daughter by blood. So, take care of my family. Don't worry about me. Computers are my first love and I'll be in Silicon Valley. Thanks again, old timer, for giving Andrea another chance at life."

"You really are a good person. Eric, I'm so sorry. I really don't know what to say. What about Andrea? I know she'll miss you. You're the only father she's known."

"I should tell you that my relationship with Mel was of respect. We decided from the beginning that my name not be on the birth certificate. Under the title father, she had your name put in and said you were overseas so they didn't need your signature. I know that Mel and Andrea have talked and have their own secrets. My guess is she knows about you and Mel. I'm sure she will miss me some as I know I will miss her. It's the reason she will need you in her life. She will need a father image in her life. Why should it not be her real father? Again, thank you and take care of them. They will both need you."

Before I could say anything, Eric tuned around and walked out the door. I was lying there thinking how complicated my life has become. At home I had a wife and a so-so marriage with three wonderful kids. On the other side was an ex-girlfriend and daughter to whom I had just donated a kidney. Geez, not a very good situation to be in, I thought.

------------------------------

It wasn't long before I was able to go home. I wasn't allowed to lift anything over five pounds. My girls understood but Andy didn't know any better and wanted to be held. At least he settled for climbing up next to me and sitting on the bed or couch. My girls were like two little mommies waiting on me hand and foot.

Trina went to work every day and when she got home we were pleasant to each other. Jen stopped by for a couple of hours each day to see if I needed anything. She was a great help to me. I also talked to my mom every day to keep her updated on my condition. She took my three kids every couple of days so I could get some needed rest. I was healing well but didn't want to overdo it.

I didn't call Mel directly for the first week I was home. Jen would stop at the hospital or call Mel to see how Andrea was doing. She was to be in the hospital for an extra week. The doctor was surprised on how well she was doing. Her color had come back and she was gaining weight. He was extremely optimistic about her condition.

After Andrea was sent home to recover, my girls wanted to go meet her. I was still not allowed to drive so we all got in the van and Jen drove us to Mel's place. I wasn't sure about going there but with Jen and the kids I figured there shouldn't be a big problem.

Mel's house was nice. Well furnished and clean. I told the kids that Andrea was a sick little girl so they had to be quiet. Mel smiled when she saw my kids. She introduced herself and told them they could call her Mel. She took the two girls into Andrea's bedroom and introduced them to a smiling Andrea. I was surprised when I saw her. She was no longer jaundiced, the yellowish color due to liver problems, but had a beautiful clear complexion.

"Hi," said Andrea, "I'm your big sister. Well, older sister anyway," she smiled when she saw that Renee was almost as tall as she was.

"Don't I have a little brother too? Where's he at?" asked Andrea.

Jen came into the room holding little Andy. "Were you looking for this little guy?" replied Jen.

I couldn't believe what Andrea said next. I know I'll never forget it. The things that come out of the mouth of kids.

"Hi, my cute little brother from a different mother. I'm your big and older sister, Andrea."

Andy smiled and Jen seated him on the bed and he crawled up and sat next to his new big sister. I had tears in my eyes, I couldn't help it, but I wasn't alone when I looked over and saw Mel and Jen also smiling.

I knew now that Andrea had been told that I was her birth father. We spent the next couple of hours and let the kids enjoy their time together. The kids were sad when we told them that it was time for us to leave and that Andrea needed her rest. The girls said they weren't going to leave unless I promised they could come back again. Of course I told them they'd see a lot of each other. As we left I knew there was going to be hell to pay that night when I told Trina that we went to Mel's.

Trina no sooner got in the door when the girls told her they met their big sister today. At least Trina had the good sense not to start her screaming at me until the kids were off to bed. I was called every name in the book. I tried to explain that nothing happened and Jen was there with me. Of course Trina accused me of having Jen lie for me and to cover up an affair.

"My God, Trina, why can't you believe that we could be just friends? I have never cheated on you and never will. My family is too important to me to just go out and have an affair. Then you accuse me of having Jen lie for me. Believe me, Jen would never stand for infidelity, even from her brother. I told you that the kids wanted to meet each other and they all had a good time. Why do you look at everything so dark? Not everyone is out to cheat on their spouse. I promise you I won't."

She yelled a little more and we went to bed. We still slept together and I tried to lie close to Trina but she would not have any of it.

As time went by, I healed up pretty well. The doc told me to wait another month before going back to work. I called the plant and let them know. Trina reminded me of her trip to Chicago in a couple of weeks. She would be gone for the whole week. I figured I wouldn't have any problem watching the kids. I could lift Andy now so he was happy.

The following week our friends Bob and Maria stopped by to watch a movie and play cards. The girls chose the movie, "Same Time, Next Year".

This brings you up to date from the beginning of this story. As I mentioned in the beginning that something went on between Maria and Mel. I kept thinking about the look they gave each other.

-------------------------

I saw Trina whisper something to Maria before she and Bob left. I knew something wasn't right but wasn't sure what. Things weren't really good between us since the operation. We hadn't made love for awhile now. I thought I'd give it a shot. As we got in bed I put my hand on her lower belly and rubbed softly. Nice even circular motions. At first she pushed my hand away but I kept trying. I slid my hand down into her panties and began to rub her soft mound.

"Are you up to it?" she asked me.

"You're going to be gone for a week and I don't want to wait till you get back." I pushed my hardening cock against her thigh. "Part of me is up to it," I replied.

She slipped off her panties and spread her legs. I slid two fingers into her moist pussy. She was slowly gyrating as I fingered her.

"Hmm, so good, been so long, keep doing it," she said.

I turned my body at an angle to hers and lifted one of her legs. She spread her legs further apart as I slid my hard cock into her. Her gyrations were becoming faster as I pumped my hard cock into her. It felt hot and moist.

"More, Baby, give me more, feels so good, been so long. More, Baby, more," she kept saying.

Trina was always like this when we had sex. She has never called me her baby or lover any other time. It was like her own fantasy name for me.

"Come on, Lover, give me more cock, cum in me, cum in me. I want your baby, cum in me, cum in me."

I was surprised to hear her say that. I had gotten the vasectomy last year after the baby was born. I remembered this was how she acted after coming back from each trip, only this time she hadn't left yet and I was sterile. I grabbed her leg and pushed my cock deep inside of her pussy and let the cum fill her pussy. She was gyrating and I could feel her orgasm. She screamed out.

"Good, Baby, oh so good. I love it so much. You're the best," moaned Trina.

I felt her pussy spasm while it was wrapped around my cock. Her pussy was pumping me dry. One thing I have to say about Trina is that she is great when it comes to sex. I often wonder why her love doesn't go into our daily life. It's only during sex when she seems loving.

The next morning she left for work and I was straightening up the house, something I didn't help with often enough. She had some folded clothes on her dresser and I was putting them in her drawer. I noticed a packet of birth control pills. When did she start taking these. I had the vasectomy over a year ago. I took them out and set them on the dresser. I opened them to see if she has been taking them and she has. I knew I was going to question her about it tonight. God, I sure hope she has a good reason for using birth control. Our marriage was already on edge.

I looked around for anything else that might look funny but didn't find anything. Neither of us used the computer much at home and we shared the same e-mail address. There was nothing out of the ordinary there. I checked some of our back phone bills but they looked fine. Maybe I was getting paranoid.

When Trina arrived home that evening I confronted her about the birth control pills.

"Why were you going through my drawers? You had no right."

"Right? I live here just like you. I wasn't snooping; after the great sex we had last night I thought I would help straighten up the house and was just putting your clothes away when I spotted the pills. Are you going to explain to me why you're taking them, knowing I had a vasectomy."

"You bastard, you say you trust me and then give me the third degree. I'll tell you why I have to take the pills. A few months back I was having trouble with my periods and I went to see my doctor. She suggested I take the pills to help control my time of the month so I would be more regular."

"Why didn't you tell me you were having female problems?"

"What would you have done? Prescribe me pills or tell me to go to the doctor just like I did. Besides you were too worried about your other family at the time. I didn't want to bother you with my medical problem."

"That's uncalled for, Trina. You're my wife and mean a lot to me. I'm sorry I doubted you but I was worried when I saw the pills. I was afraid... I was afraid you might be having an affair. I'm sorry."

"Okay, so now you know why I'm taking the pills. It's not because I want to but my doctor prescribed them."

I felt better after talking to her. I will admit I still had doubts, but I wanted to believe her. On Thursday night we had sex again. It was almost an instant replay of the other day. She called me Lover and Baby, and I filled her full of cum. Doesn't get much better than that.

On Friday morning she was in a great mood. She kissed the kids and me goodbye before leaving on her trip to Chicago. I told her to hurry back so we could continue where we left off.

On Saturday I took the kids to see Mel and Andrea. We spent the day together like one big happy family. I wished my life was like this with Trina, instead of fighting all the time. There were feelings there between me and Mel but we both knew better than to go with our feelings.

On Sunday I was watching TV with the kids when there was a knock on the door. I answered it and saw two old school pals. April and Mandy graduated with Trina and I. They were gathering information for our next high school reunion. They were taking down as many facts as they could so they could print up a book and give it to all our old classmates. They got our address from Melissa. I forgot she had mentioned it to me. I invited the women in and got us all some tea.

We did all the preliminaries of 'how are you' and 'what's new.'

April spoke first. "So, Andy, tell me what's new in your life and where you work for our book."

I explained a few facts about going in the service and where I now worked. I didn't know if Melissa told them about the surgery so I left it out for now. They then asked me about Trina. I told them about the travel agency Trina worked at. Mandy looked surprised.

"Oh, my God, that's so weird."

"What's weird about working at a travel agency?" I asked.

"It's just that her old boyfriend, Zack Carter, works for the same travel agency but in Chicago. That is so weird. Old friends both working for the same company but in different states."

"How do you know that, Mandy. Did you talk to him?"

"No, we talked to his mother last week. She told us all about him and how rich and powerful he is. I remember back in high school when all the girls wanted to date him. His mother says he is still in peak condition and exercises every day."

"Can I have a copy of his profile? I think Trina would love to get in touch with him."

I really didn't want the information for Trina; I wanted it for myself. I was beginning to smell a rat, a really big rat. I had a feeling that Trina knew all about Zack, but first hand.

"Sure, Andy, I have an extra copy of his profile but you probably will have a hard time getting hold of him."

"Why's that?"

"His wife is a state senator in Illinois according to Zack's mother. You'll probably have to pass an inspection just to see them," laughed Mandy.

I laughed along with them. Inside I was burning up. After getting the profile on Zack I said goodbye to my old classmates.

I thought I'd call Bob to chat and see if he knew anything about Zack. I decided against it. I didn't want to involve Maria just in case I needed information from her. Instead I called Trina's room in Chicago.

The phone rang five times before Trina answered it. She seemed to be breathing a little hard.

"Hello," she said.

"Well, hi there, dear wife. How are you doing this fine morning?"

"Why are you calling me, Andy? We said you should never call unless it's an emergency. Are the kids alright?"

"The kids are fine but their dad's a bit pissed."

"Why did you call, Andy? I don't have time for your silly games."

"This is Sunday. You don't have meetings on Sunday, do you? Oh, I forgot, you're having one of your secret meetings with Zack. Did I interrupt your fuck session? I'm so sorry."

"That's enough, Andy; I heard enough of your nonsense. We'll talk about this when I get home next week."

"You stupid bitch, I can hear him in the background. What's in your pussy now, Baby? Is your Lover boy fingering you right now? Surely you can't fuck and talk at the same time."

"I'm going to hang up, Andy. We'll talk about this when I get home."

"You talk to me now or I'll burn this fucking house down and then come to Chicago and kill your fucking boyfriend."

I heard Zack in the background whispering to Trina. The stupid fuck didn't have the sense to be quiet.

"Will you tell your fucking boyfriend to shut the fuck up or I'll finish this conversation with his wife, the Senator."

"Please, Andy, don't call her."

I heard her say something to Zack. "Zack, take you're hands off me. He fucking knows you're here. We can't hide it anymore. He's going to call your wife if I don't talk to him now."

"How long have you been seeing him? ...since you don't want to answer me, I figure it's been around seven years. No wonder you come home and want to fuck. You couldn't get it out of your system or was it you might have wanted to have his kid and cover it up by fucking me."

"Please, Andy, I can't think right now. Please let's talk later."

"Whose kids am I raising, mine or your lovers? Answer me, whose kids am I raising?"

"Please, Andy, I don't know. I honestly don't know."

"Wow, honesty isn't one of your characteristics. Gee, I might have to sue lover boy for six years of support. I'm sure the Senator will want to support my kids."

"Please, don't talk like this."

"How the hell am I supposed to talk? I've been honest as I can with you. I promised never to cheat on you and never have, even though you have accused me our whole married life. You on the other hand have been fucking that asshole behind my back for at least seven years. How the fuck am I supposed to talk?"

"Andy, I don't know what to say right now. We'll talk when I come home."

"The only fucking thing we'll do when you come home is get a divorce and have the kids tested so you're fucking lover can claim daddy's rights. Now, go back and enjoy your fuck, you slimy, fucking, slut, bitch. Just so you know, if the kids are tested and are mine, I'm taking them from you."

"No, you can't take my kids from me..." I hung up the phone.

I wanted some more information. I called Bob. He was back from his fishing trip. He usually only went a few days.

"Bob, Andy here. I misplaced Trina's room number and thought you might have Maria's."

He gave it to me and asked if there was a problem.

"No, no problem, just something I wanted to ask her. Okay, thanks, Bob."

I called Maria's room and she answered.

"Hello."

"Maria, this is Andy..."

"Andy, Trina isn't in right now. I can have her call you..."

"Cut the bullshit, Maria, I know where she is, who's she's with and what she's doing."

"I don't know what you're talking about." I knew she was trying to call my bluff, but I wasn't bluffing.

"Room 804, fucking Zack Carter. Now you answer a few questions or I'll ask your husband, Bob."

"Are you trying to blackmail me?"

"Blackmail? Hell no! I just figured that if Trina has been having an affair for seven years and you've been covering for her that you've be getting some on the side yourself. You either tell me what I want to know or I'll tell Bob about Trina and you can talk to him about why you've covered it up."

"What do you want to know, Andy?"

"So, you have fucked around on Bob also. You have an old boyfriend too?"

"Please don't tell Bob. I did it the first two times and felt so guilty about it that I don't stay in the same room with Trina anymore. It was a big mistake and I truly regret it."

"Who was it with, Maria?"

"Please, Andy, I told you I did it, and I regret it. It was some friend of Zack's. I want to forget about it. Don't tell Bob.

"Tell me everything you know about Trina and Zack and I promise I won't tell Bob about our conversation."

"Okay, I'll trust you."

"You don't have a choice but I do keep my promises."

"Trina found out Zack worked for the same agency. She started having an affair with him. As far as I know it was only during these seminars."

"What did she say about him and I'll know if you're lying and our deal will be off."

"She said she always loved him and made a mistake marrying you. I'm sorry, Andy, but you said you wanted the truth. She couldn't wait for the seminars so she could be with him. They hardly ever went to the meetings but stayed in their room most of the time and came out for dinner."

"What about my kids, Maria? Tell me what you know."

"Oh, God, Andy, I don't know what to say. She hoped that all three kids were Zack's. It was her way of getting even with you. It didn't make any sense. I never understood why she wanted you to raise Zack's kids."
