PART 11 AND FINAL ONE.

___________________________________________________________________________


It was time for David to return to his unit. He was to catch the 16 15
train and Carl gave himself time off to go to the station to see David
off. "I get my new second hand car next week thank god, so at least
I wont have to use trains anymore. I can also take us out at weekends".
Carl was looking at him with somewhat glazed eyes which is no surprise as
Carl had not long deposited a rather large load into David. David was
still straddled across him and both were holding on tight.

"I wish you did'nt have to go David. I know it's only for just over a
week, but i'm going to miss you so much". Having just been taken into the
joys of bum sex, Carl looked the picture of misery.

"Someones got to defend our Country Carl and at this moment Britain and
the whole world is depending on me. In fact by staying away for an extra
couple of days, goodness knows what i'm going back too". David smiled at
Carl's unhappy face and hoping to cheer him up a bit, kissed him.

"If bullshit could save the world you would certainly be the man for the
job. Anyway your only a corporal and I bet not that important". Carl was
smiling again at least.

"Hitler was only a corporal and look what he got up to, but your right,
just a nobody until I met you that is. Now I feel like a King, or should
that be Queen"? David knew that Carl's dick was now back to slack (note
the poet in me) and got off him. "Come on misery, time for you to wash my
bum, cock and anything eles you fancy. I have to prepare my mind to
return to serving all you dead beat civilians". Carl just rolled his eyes
skyward.

After showering they met Sandra coming along the corridor. "Glad you two
are saving water, very commendable and no doubt a lot of fun". David gave
her a treat and dropped his towel, Sandra swooned against the wall and
Carl told him off. Oh well, thought David, can't win them all.

An hour before leaving David made love to Carl. They were both standing
as David entered him, but ended up with Carl spread across the bed. He
took his time wanting it to last as long as possible and also give Carl
the maximum amount of juice possible. As he shot into Carl, he called out
that he loved him which for both of them made the event even more
special.

"I love you too David, so much".

They were both quiet at the station and for the first time could not
think of much to say. All David could come up with was, "At least we have
something of one another inside us Carl". Carl could only manage a rather
sad smile. At last the train drew in and after a long look at one another
and a hug, David was gone.

Over the next two months David got back as often as possible, but there
was a couple of weekends they did not see one another as David had to do
a home visit. Mum and Dad were getting a tad pissed off that he had not
been down to see them very often. They knew he was gay and had finally
accepted it. He had done the courageous thing and wrote to them from
Singapore about himself. After a few months silence he got a letter from
his Dad saying it was sad. "The world is made up of many different
minorities, it's just a pity you are one of them". Thanks Dad, love you
too.

Still, he and Carl were becoming even more close and had wonderful
weekends together. Now that David had his car they were able to get away
for days out and they looked forward to being by themselves. One such day
out at the seaside David told Carl he may leave the Air Force.

"Why, I thought the country could not survive without you"?

"True, but it may have to. I want us to get a place of our own and live
together and being in a gay relationship is not a good thing military
wise, as the Yanks would say. It isnt even if they don't say it. Besides
I don't like this weekend visits only, I want to be able for us to fuck
any time in the week as well as weekends". He smiled at Carl and waited.

"Christ don't you just know how to make a guy feel good. So, let me get
this right. You want us to move in together and leave your career so we
can fuck anytime we want"?

"You got a better idea then"?

Carl smiled a huge one at David. "No, not really. It would have been
nicer if you had put it a bit differently, but i'm used to your ways now
and still love you dispite them". They were sitting in the car and it was
safe enough to give one another a kiss.

"This my dear is what I hope for. I leave the Air Force. We get a flat
and move in so I have a kitchen to practise my cooking, I love it and
want to become a chef, more about that later. We will live together and
start a proper relationship. I will find a job that will help to pay the
bills and qualify at the same time, but I do not intend to travel all
over the country doing it. I want us to open our own resturant
eventually. How does that sound. A bit too much for you"? David looked at
Carl. He knew it was a lot to take in, but they would talk about it and
he was confident he would be more than happy. Before Carl could say
anything, David added;

"There is another thing, but not the reason why I said all that. Joe rang
me yesterday and told me Debbie is pregnant and I would like to be around
IF the shit hits the fan".

They talked through everything later in bed and began to plan the first
moves like looking for a flat. David would apply to leave the Air Force
when he got back Monday.

Within a month, both had happened, but there was an added bonus. David
was taken on at the hotel as a kitchen assistant. It was a perfect start
to his new career. Not only did they live together, they worked together
as well.

So, there we have it as far as David and Carl was concerned. Like all
relationships, no matter what the time scale is, the early days would
decide the later days and I can assure you there would be many later days
for these two lovers. BUT, we all know that Joe and Debbies later days
were very much in doubt and they did'nt even know it. Only the author and
his readers already know that at the wedding Debbie was already pregnant
and it was not the Groom's. No, the only thing that could happen to save
the marrage would be a miscarriage and that was what David, dispite the
sadness of such a thing happening, was in thing that could save the
marrage. It could very well be that Joe would need David's freindship
much more than he could possibly know.

As the weeks went by, and it was obvious Debbie was going through her
pregnancy without any problems, the tension and worry for David and Carl
built up. David was feeling bad that Carl was a subsidary to all this,
but Carl being the guy he was took the whole situation on board in
support of David. They had met Joe and Dianne a few times by now and Carl
could see how close David and Joe were, not that he had idea, just how
close they had been prior to the wedding.

Christmas came and went. David, always the one to be slightly off course
to most people, wrapped a sprig of misteltoe around his cock as Carl's
first present of the day. What made it all even better was when Carl came
back from the loo with a sprig of it stuck up his ass. Ah the joys of a
Christian festival! They were both working on Christmas day and had a
marvelous time, which was made even better when they got home. As it was
their first Christmas together, they marked it by making love in the
kitchen, then the living room, then the bathroom and finally in bed. How
on earth they managed to get up for work on Boxing day was a testiment to
their fitness and young years. (It certainly takes the author back to
1850, thats right, ten to seven)!

April came at last, the birth month. It was due to arrive on, the 15th
and as the days went by, so did David's will to live. The pressure was
tremedous and had it not been for Carl he was sure he would not have
couped as well as he did. Joe rang David to say he had taken Debbie in.
It was the 14th and she was waiting to be transfered into the delivery
room. "Oh Dave I can't wait to be a Dad".

"Good luck to both of you Joe, God bless you both". He put the phone
down, looked at Carl and burst into tears.

The hours past and as each one did, David became more certain that what
he dreaded most had already happened. They went to bed very late still
not hearing a thing. David almost called Joe's mum, but could'nt. He did
not want to hear what he felt he already knew. He could not sleep and
bless him, Carl stayed awake just to share and try to comfort David. They
had made love so many times now as a couple, but this moment proved, if
indeed it needed to be proved, just how much in love they were. One
beside himself with a sort of grief, the other totally supporting his
partner's distress. At last they did fall into a fitful sleep and both
woke up with a start when the phone rang, it was Joe.

Joe could hardly speak and David had to consentrate on every word.

"She lost him Dave, they could'nt save him". Joe was sobbing his heart
out. It took David sometime for this to sink in. The baby was still born?
With a sudden realisation it all hit him and all it was possible to say
to Joe was; "Oh God Joe I am SO sorry. Is Debbie ok, I mean health"?

"I'm sorry Dave I can't speak, here's Mum". And he past the phone over to
her.

"Hello love. Debbie was taken into Delivery and as soon as she got there
something happened, we don't know all the details yet. Anyway they rushed
her to theatre, but could not save him. It was over so quick, we can't
believe it even now. Debbie is ok physically, she is sedated, but she
will be in for a while just to make sure, but of course she and Joe are
in a dreadful state, we all are".

"I don't know what to say except i'm so very sorry for all of you. It was
a boy then, did Joe and Debbie see him"?

"No, they adviced against it David, I guess it's for the best". David
could only guess as to the real reason.

"Look, I know all you need just now is to be left alone, but tell Joe and
Debbie to call me when they are ready and we will come and see then. Is
that ok"?

"Of course love. Sorry it's all happened. Take care both of you".

David looked at Carl and told him what had happened, but he had guessed
anyway. They cuddled up saying nothing for a long time. At last David
said. "If it was'nt Joe's, and we will never know now, his dying could
have saved them, but what an awful thing to happen Carl. A life gone, but
in death he would have done more that his father ever did, if it WAS that
shit's baby".

David threw a sicky the next day. Carl kissed him and went into work.
David waited for an hour then went out to find a phone box. He rang Mark.

"Who is this"?

"Someone you don't know, but listen to what I say, its going to save your
ass. I've just seen seen about 50 photo's of you at a gay party a few
months back and I know you got copies on a dvd".

"So fucking what. I'm not a fucking ass bandit, it was a set up".

"Tell that to all the people I will send them to, all 30 and i'm going to
copy 30 more. Unless you get out and move to your brothers in Birmingham
by the end of the month, I will start posting the day after. Oh and I do
have back up, big lads if you remember and lots of them". He read out a
few addresses to show Mark he knew where to send, then hung up and went
to the post office to send Mark another copy of the photo's just to show
him he was serious. The town was much better without him.

David was feeling much better and got a nice meal ready for them both
when Carl came home. It would take time, but he was sure that one day Joe
and Debbie would have the family both wanted so much. He thought of Joe
and himself and what they had got up to before the wedding and although
he did not and would not have any guilt about it, it did make him realise
he was in fact not in love with him. What he thought his feelings were,
were nothing compared to the love he had for Carl.

They sat eating and chatting like an old married couple going through all
that had happened and things happening at work. After washing up they
watched a bit of tv cuddled up together before going for a soak in the
bath. David was at the bath end with Carl in front of him and no surprise
that Davids arms were around Carl's body.

"Carl"?

"Yes my man, how can I help"?

"Will you marry me"?

He spun round and gave David the smile which attracted Carl to him the
first time he saw him. "Only if we both have hardon's.................
Oh YES we do"! Which was a pretty unique way of saying "yes" I suppose,
not to say obvious.

"Just one thing David".

"Whats that"?

"Who will be the Bestman and who will be the Groom"?
