Subject: M/V Jean Peterson. Part 6

Graduation and a good idea.
_______________________________________________________________________________

Scott stepped into the room and everyone stood up and applauded as his
entered. He was bursting with pride and embarrassment, but the look on
his father's face told him of his own pride. He had just made his son
a Junior Captain and you don't get that from him without good reason.
Once again they shook hands and then to everyone else in the room. He got
to Andrew and they embraced as well as shook hands. "I have never been so
proud Scott. Congratulations." Scott smiled back his thanks to Andrew,
but much more a smile of love.
They all went to the drinks table and raised glasses to him. Scott was
pleased that Thomas and Brenda had joined them.
"Speech!" Oh shit Scott thought, but he could not get out of it.
"This won't take long I promise. Thank you Dad and to Bob Taylor, I hope
I will become as good a Captain as he is. I would like to introduce
the first member of the Jean Peterson's crew. One of her Engineers Mr
Andrew Bushman." More applause and that was that.

At long last the attention was off Scott and they all stood around
chatting about anything except what they had been called for. Andrew of
course carried on, but on a slightly different angle than anyone else.
"Wanna fuck the engineer Cap'n?"
"I already have and from now on you have to ask permission to be fucked
by the Cap'n."
"I'm asking then."
"In writing."
"Fuck, your a lousy Cap'n and you aint even got a ship!" Scott would have
kissed him there and then, but was aware that some "straights" were in
the same room, so instead told him he would allow him to present his
ass in a Southernly direction and await the Captains cock to enter him
later. Andrew told Scott to "fuck off in a Northerly direction!" Scott
looked at his man and smiled at him. "Ok I will go North, but that will
take me back to Iceland. Mmmm not a bad idea I may get a decent fuck up
there." Scott shot off to talk to his Dad knowing full well he was in
deep shit when Andrew could get to him!

Scott took his jacket off and poured the whisky's and handed them out.
"Bloody hell Dad, what a day!"
"Good one I hope?"
"You bet and thanks again. I had no idea Bob had written to you like
that. It was very good of him."
"That's not all Scott. He sent you these." William went to a drawer and
got a parcel out and handed it to him. Scott opened it and took out the
binoculars. On them was inscribed.  Captain Scott Peterson.
"All Captains need those Scott." Which was a bloody obvious thing to say
really.
Scott could not have been happier and Andrew could not wait to get this
prick into the bedroom and beat the shit out of him!
It did not happen of course. As soon as Scott closed the door the two of
them grabbed one another and clung on for dear life and kissed for a very
long time. "I was going to beat you up. Just thank your lucky stars I
have decided I still love you."
Scott smiled at Andrew. "Wanna go South?"

Andrew slid himself into Scott and very slowly withdrew and slid back in
again. The feel of him inside his tunnel was driving Scott mad and he
knew that it would not be long before they both reached the top. He was
right and as Andrew shot into him, so Scott shot all over the shower
door. They faced one another and kissed and after washing each other,
they went to bed. As usual they were facing each other and in between
kissing they talked most of the time seriously and then breaking off to
be silly.
"Do you know Scott if I had any problem about getting involved with all
this, and I promise I didn't, I wouldn't any more. I know none of this
would be possible without the financial means your father has, but as far
as I can see having the Jean operating in those waters will be as
effective as the Navy's involved. It's possible that the pirates will be
in for a big shock if they take you on. By the way do you realize you
have got hold of my cock?"
"Take US on Andrew and can I point out you put it there? We just don't
know how it will turn out and of course if we do get involved with a few
of them the word will get around and we could very well become a
target. Capturing the Jean would make a great mother ship for them and of
course attack ship as well. Still want to come along? Oh and if you keep
that up, it's going to spurt all over you."
"Don't worry Scott I will be there and no fucking pirate will get one
foot on the Jean or any other ship in our area. They don't know who they
are messing with. Engineer Andrew Bushman cannot be messed with." Scott
smiled at his man. "You mean like the West Ham football supporters in
Soho?" They both laughed and finished talking, it was time for some
serious cock action. Yeah those pirates don't know what's coming at them
Scott thought. Us two and a ship load of gays! God help them!

Before they set off for the meeting the following day they sat together
at breakfast and William asked Andrew about his course work at college.
"It's just that we would love you to get over much more even if it meant
bringing your work with you. As you will now be a part of Scott's crew it
would be good to have you here so you could get training on the new
engines Andrew and there is a lot of other equipment you will need to be
trained on as well, but I don't want to interfere with your life or
education."
"No, I do understand and have been thinking about it myself. It's very
important to me to finish this part of my training and to graduate, but
in fact during the whole time you are working in this field the training
never stops. Of course I want to come over as often as I can and cant
wait to get into everything, but there is one really good thing and that
is I am able to do 90% of my work and not physically attend collage. I
hardly see anyone on my course, so yes I could come and stay with you and
Scott and do the same as I can at home. I really want to do that
William."
"What about family Andrew, will they understand?"
"Oh yes they will be fine. I told them all about Scott and me the moment
I got back from Iceland." There was a long pause and then he said. "I'm
sorry to bring up the dreadful time you both went through, but when it
came on the news I was devastated and it showed. PLEASE don't think I was
only thinking of myself, but with your loss I also thought I had as well.
When it happened my mom and dad were great to me and gave me a lot of
attention and support. They helped me a lot and I needed them believe me.
I know I have no right to be as affected as you were, but that was my
feeling and only so because of my love for Scott. I have two brothers and
a sister and they were also great to me. I do know one thing and that is
both Scott and I are lucky in having such understanding from both
families, I know it's not always the case with gay sons or brothers.
Sorry to go on, but that's my feelings and if I can come over and be with
Scott nothing would make me happier, no matter what we do."

"Phew, that sorted that out then. We will need to sort every thing out
and work out the best plans, but there is something we can do right now.
Scott has taken you on as crew and that's wonderful, but I have to ask
you this. I will be your employer is that what you want?"
"Yes sir, of course."
"Right I will need some information to pass on to my people and set up
your salary. There is of course a lot of forms to be filled out and your
application for a work permit. All that will also be done by my Personnel
Department. I will contact them and they will be here soon to go through
it with you, meanwhile the first thing is your bank details and I can
start paying you. Glad to have you working for me Andrew." With that the
"interview" was over. Scott had sat saying nothing, he didn't have to,
but was as sure as hell happy with the outcome.

And so we have it. A hell of a lot was going to happen over the next few
months and both Scott and Andrew were extremely busy with Andrew
qualifying and Scott travelling back and forth to Norway. They did fly
there to see the Jean during Andrew's last week. It was a fun time and
they enjoyed the trip and got a lot of work done as well as shagging one
another at the hotel. There was one time Andrew sent Scott crazy when he
tied him to the bed head and played with him using just his tongue and
lips. Scott was squirming all over the place and after an hour of this
"torture" he cried out to be finished off. Andrew obliged by sitting on
his cock and drawing a huge load of out of him into his backside. It took
Scott a long time to get his breath back and sagged back into the bed
completely fucked. "Christ that was good Andrew." Andrew smiled at him
and said if he was that happy about his performance he should get a pay
rise off of William. Scott was too weak to thump Andrew, in any case he
was still tied up.

When Andrew first saw the Jean he could hardly believe it would ever be
ready as everything seemed to be in a complete mess. They went into the
dry dock and the ship looked huge. Andrew took one look at it and said to
Scott. "I don't like the look of this, there are holes in the hull, the
fucking thing will sink!"
"Those holes are not holes dopey."
"They look like it to me. What are they then?"
"Vents. That one there is where all your crap will come out eventually
and at night."
"What just dump it out in the sea?"
"No, it gets treated and all the nasty bits are neutralized then pumped
out. It has to be that way or else we will sink with all your poo
floating about."
"And yours!"
"Our crap will be spread from the UK to all parts where we sail and back
again. We will be together even in poo, nice thought."
"God help the oceans, I have followed you in the John and it stinks." End
of technical discussion Scott thought.

When they got back from Norway Scott advertised for crew. He had spent
some time writing it. His father was pleased he had done it in good time.
"I think there will be a good responce Scott. Did you use the Times?"
"Yes Dad, but not the one you are thinking of."
"What Times then?"
"Gay."
"Oh fuck! NO! I take that back!"

The applications came floading in and even William was surprised. "Yea
Gods and I thought you were the only gays that would be sailing my ship!"
William's Personnel Department delt with all applicants and wittled them
down to 100. Scott began to get involved at that stage and spent hours
pouring over them with Alice who was head of that department.
Andrew left for home and of course the parting was difficult for both.
Even William was quiet on their last night together. Andrew insisted on
taking them all out for dinner and although it was a lovely evening, they
were all only thinking of tomorrow.

Thomas drove them to Heathrow with the couple cuddled up in the back.
Even though Andrew would be back in two weeks they were both suffering.
They would of course be Skypeing and that was a God send. Scott watched
as Andrew went through to departures and felt very alone when he finally
went out of sight. It had been an incredible three weeks that neither
would ever forget.

As the months went by so the date for the launch got closer. Scott went
over several times to see how it was progressing and came back full of
it. "She is great Dad, a real beauty."
Andrew had sorted out his college studies and spent most of his time at
Scott's home working on the last of his course. He was just two months
from graduation and although it was never mentioned Scott was determined
to be there if his family agreed. Andrew was in their room working when
Scott called his home and spoke to both his parents asking permission to
come over and surprise Andrew at the graduation ceremony.
"Hello is that Mrs Bushman?" Scott had actually spoken to both Andrew's
parents on several occasions by now and they were pleased when he did and
so was Scott. They seemed a really nice couple and they liked Scott a
lot. He had also spoken to the brothers and sister, all was well with
them too.
"It certainly is and with that accent you have to be Scott. Hi honey how
are you?"
"I'm very well thank you. Andrew is upstairs studying and I thought I
would ring and ask if I could come to his graduation. I do understand if
it is for family only so don't have a problem if it is, ok?"
"HONEEEE you ARE family! Oh this is great. WALTER! It's Scott he is
coming to Andrew's graduation!" Walter came on the phone.
"Hey Scott that's great news and we will all like to meet you at last.
You can stay with us, there is plenty of room."
"Oh don't be so stupid Walter, they will be staying together!" Scott
smiled and then told them he would just like to turn up without Andrew
knowing and just knock on the door and surprise him.
"Oh that is a wonderful idea. I remember when he did that to you. He was
so happy. He always talks about it." Scott wondered what else he told
them and for some reason his mind went back to that morning when his cock
was up their son's backside! They talked, times, dates and who would meet
him at the airport. It took some time as they both thought of different
things. Scott just hoped they got the right date! At last they seemed to
have sorted it out, but only after Scott had been through it several
times. They said goodbye and when he put the phone down he was not at all
sure it would stay a secret. He was convinced either Walter or Andrew's
mother Janice would let the cat out of the bag. He would be arriving the
night before the graduation and they would organise Andrew to answer the
door when he got there.

The time rushed by which included more trips to Norway. The Jean Peterson
was all but ready and looked fantastic. Just about everything was in
place and a date was set for Scott to go and take her over then carry out
sea trials which would take a week to do. His father would come over for
the launch prior to that and the naming ceremony. She would already be in
the water as the dock was needed, but the naming would go ahead after she
was out of the dry dock. Scott suddenly had an idea about that and would
talk to his Dad about it later.
Scott and Andrew went to Rolls Royce for a crash course on the engines
and other machinary that they were supplying. It all got a bit confusing
with cramming it all in, but Andrew was more than capable of handeling
it. William did the obvious and arranged for Andrew to spend time at the
docks that worked on his ships. It was a good move and Andrew thoughly
enjoyed his time there. Scott wondered how the hell he managed it all,
but he did and it gave him an enormous boost to his confidence when
really great things were said about him.

The time came for Andrew once again to go back home and get ready for his
graduation. As always the parting was difficult, but Scott was fine about
it really, he would be seeing Andrew much sooner than he knew. Andrew of
course didn't know that and therefore Scott had to make a real effort in
being so upset he would not see Andrew until after graduation. He did a
great job, but felt like shit when Andrew left him with tears running
down his face!

Scott rushed home and phoned Janice.
"He is on his way Janice and I will see you next week, the 20th
remember?"
"Oh I remember very well Scott, we can't wait to meet you. Scott there is
one thing we would like to ask you."
"Sure anything."
"Will you ware your uniform at the graduation? Andrew is so proud of you
and he says you look fantastic in it and it will make his day even more
special." Scott was not expecting that one bit, but did not have a
problem agreeing. Janice was delighted.
"That's one hell of a hug when you get here Scott!"
"I honestly can't wait to meet you all Janice. I am looking forward so
much to the whole thing and the look on Andrew's face when I knock on
your door."

"Dad?"
"Yes Captain?" He grinned at his son.
"Will you agree to invited Janice to name the Jean? I don't know about
you, but I can't think of a better choice."
"Absolutely, bloody good idea. Leave it to me to get someone to arrange
every thing. That will include Walter as well of course?"
"I was thinking the whole family Dad."
"You would and it will happen."
"Thanks Dad, thanks so much. I will ask them next week."

Scott got through all the official bits when he landed and walked through
to meet David, Andrew's elder brother. David recognised him straight
away.
"Hi Scott welcome to the United States." Scott looked at a very good
looking man and was pleased to see the family resemblance.
"My word you are certainly your brothers brother!" They shook hands and
went to get the car. They chatted all the way to Andrew's home.
"How is he, getting worked up about tomorrow?"
"He sure is and a bit nervous. He has not stopped talking about you and
going to the ship. It's going to be a hell of a time for both of you.
Just look after each other wont you."
"I promise I will. We now have a great crew and i'm sure we will work
well together." They were now just a couple of miles from the house and
David stopped to call his mom. "Another 10 minutes. Where is Andy?"
"He is trying to talk to Scott on Skype and getting mad that he can't get
through! I will make sure we are all busy so he has to answer the door."
David drew into the garage. "Ok Scott I will go in through this door if
you go to the front and ring. Give me a bit of time, I want to see this."
Scott got out and walked slowly to the door and rang. He heard Janice
call Andrew. "Answer that honey will you?"
"Ok mom." Andrew opened the door and just stared at Scott.
"Hi Andrew, you look lovely." He smiled at Andrew.
"Are you going to invite me in or spend the next week standing here?"
Andrew grabbed Scott and pulled him into the house. There was no one in
the hall to allow time for the two to say hello properly. Andrew
literally threw himself around Scott and clung on to him and they finally
kissed. "Oh my word this is fantastic," but he didn't get any further the
door to the lounge opened and the whole family came pouring out,
Walter, Janice, David, younger brother Shawn and even younger sister
Loran. Hugs and hand shakes all round and everyone talking at the same
time. Scott was overwhelmed by the welcome and every bit of it genuine.
For the next hour they all sat around talking just about every thing
connected with Scott and Andrew and Andrew's time in England. It was all
so relaxed and Scott felt as though he had known them for years. The two
sat together very close and you could just see the happiness on the faces
of the entire family. It was a great moment for Scott and he took to them
straight away. Dad will love you lot he thought.
Finally Janice took charge and bought the welcome to an end. "You two
need some private time, I know I would if Scott came to see me!" Peels of
laughter and blushes from Scott. "Go get your things and Andrew will show
you his room Scott." She turned to the others and instructed them to help
with Scott's luggauge. "Then leave them alone. I will call you when we
are ready to eat." Scott asked if he could leave a parcel in the lounge.
"Sure you can honey."
At last the door was closed and the two were alone. They came together
and did what they had done so many times now. After an age they parted
and Andrew said that this was going to be the best Graduation ever.
"Scott I don't know when I have been happier." They carried on kissing
the man they loved so much. It was all so perfect.
"This us then?" Scott was looking at the single bed.
"Yep, it's going to be great. You will be against the wall so you wont
try and escape and i'm on the outside to make sure you don't try."
"No chance of that happening. God your family are great people. What a
welcome!"
"Do you know I knew something was going on. All the whispers and it all
going quiet when I went into a room. I never knew it was about you coming
though. God i'm so happy." Together they unpacked Scotts cases and found
room for his things. "What's in here then?" Andrew asked
"Oh just my suit for tomorrow, nothing special."
"You need to hang it, it maybe creased." Scott smiled at him. "Ok do you
want to take it out?" Andrew did and the look on his face told it all.
"It was your mom who asked me to ware it. Hope you like that?" Scott
could not keep the smile off his face.
"Shit no, it will be a part of a great day."
Showering had to be a private one of course, not that that mattered.
Scott went back into the bedroom and there they managed some naked time
together before they had to get dressed and go for dinner. It was a great
meal with all six of them chatting away. Walter got beers out and fed
Scott all evening with refills. After the meal they went back into the
lounge where the rather large parcel that Scott had bought with him was.
He asked Walter to open it. It was a modle of the Jean Peterson which
Scott thought they would like so that they had some idea about Andrew's
new home. They loved it as Scott told them deck by deck what each and
every compartment was and what was in it. All the males spent ages
looking at it. Janice was mainly interested in Scott's and Andrew's
cabin. Shawn asked loads of questions and wished he could come as well.
"Who knows Shawn, there maybe a time when you can at least visit her. I
would love to bring her to the States."

Andrew's Graduation was a lovely day and Scott was really happy to be a
large part of it. Like a lot of things American no expence was spared and
the whole occastion was lavish to say the least. Andrew looked amazing in
his gown and with Scott in his uniform there were hundreds of photo's
taken of them together. Typical of American hospitality Scott was made to
feel more than welcome and made freinds with every one he came into
contact with. David got him to one side and told Scott that he could see
that a few guys would be happy to take Andrew's place if ever Scott
became free! "No chance David. I have your brother and he is the best and
only one." David grinned at Scott, "That's strange, Andrew said that
about you!"
The highlight of the ceremony came for the Bushman family when Andrew was
called on stage to receive his graduation certificate. All of them went
crazy when he appeared and Scott was part of it.
The garden party saw Andrew and Scott going around introducing him to
just about everyone. There was a lot of handshakes and looks of approval
at Scott in his uniform.
Scott became aware of what David had told him about some of the guys.
Andrew also noticed. "Behave Mister Scott, i'm keeping an eye on you!"
Scott looked at his man. "Fancy a compitition then?"
"No I fucking don't, I would loose big time. Stick next to me Captain,
that's an order!"

Finally back home everyone got into casual gear and the party began.
Scott lost count of all the visitors and just had a ball meeting and
talking to everyone. The model of the ship was very popular and he spent
quite a time showing it off and explaining what he and Andrew would be
doing very soon. Andrew and Scott did not see a great deal of one another
as Andrew was talking to his guests, but they caught one anothers eye
many times and they were so happy when they did.
At around midnight everyone began to leave and after an exhausting day
they were finally sitting in the lounge, just Andrew's family and Scott.
Nobody was that tired though and Walter thought it was time to break out
the Jack Daniels. "Here Scott you must drink this a lot as your a
seaman." He didn't actually, but knew he liked it, but it did tend to
creep up on you if you had one too many. Walter filled everyones glass
and made a toast to his son. "We are all very proud of you Andrew. This
has been a great day and having Scott here, has made it even better."
Andrew made his speech and thanked everyone in turn. His Mom then Dad,
David, Shawn and Loran all thanked with a special comment for each of
them. He turned to Scott and smiled. "And as for you Scott let me tell
you something even you don't know. The trip to Iceland was fully booked
and I was not on it, but was second on the reserve list. One guy on the
trip got sick and could not go and the same happened to the first guy on
reserve. I would never wish anyone to get sick, but i'm hell glad they
did. If that had not happened we would never have met and I would not be
able to fall in love to the greatest guy ever." With that he went to
Scott and kissed him. The whole room went mad with cheering! They were a
very happy bunch of new freinds for Scott.

Scott looked at them all thinking this was the right time to talk to
Walter, Janice and the whole family. He felt great because he had Andrew
standing next to him.
"Can I say something?"
"Of course son, go ahead." Walter invited Scott.
"As you know my mother was killed by an attack on one of my fathers ships
by pirates." There was complete silence in the room everyone looking at
Scott. "You also know that the Jean Peterson is nearly complete and will
sail with my fathers ships and others to help protect them. And, again
you will know Andrew will be part of that protection. The Jean Peterson
will be named in a ceremony next month in Norway and I would like to
invite you Janice to carry out the ceremony and name her. My father would
also like to invite your whole family to be his guests and fly you all
there with him. Would you do us the honor and accept?" There was stunned
silence as all this sunk in with every one trying to make sure what Scott
was saying is what they had actually heard.
Then it hit them! "Oh my God, Oh my God," Janice kept saying. Everyone
was talking at the same time and Andrew looked at Scott. "Trust you to
come up with that, it's awesome." The room was in uproar everyone hugging
kissing and just generally, well, pretty pleased it has to be said.
Janice went to Scott and put her arms around him and squeezed him tight.
"My dear man, we will be pleased to do that in honor of your mother.
Thank you so very much." Walter came over and shook Scott's hand. He was
thinking like Andrew. "Did this come from you Scott?"
"Yes sir. I always get one good idea a year and this is this years good
idea! Last years good idea was to date your son!" The room fell apart and
the party started all over again.
"What's next years good idea then?" Andrew asked.
"Marry you."
