Susan's turn:

I am an engineer. Mom and Dad both have college degrees, both in business, but I have an engineering degree. They were proud of me. They were proud of my husband who was in the receiving line ahead of me to get HIS degree.

Getting a degree is not the news that made their decade, though.

That would be my positive pregnancy test. Mine? No, OURS! I stopped taking the Pill a couple of cycles ago. It was NOT a unilateral decision. I know all sorts of stories about accidental pregnancies – like it's an 'accident' when two hormone-charged teens discover sex without bothering to discover birth control. Or the 'if I'm pregnant he'll HAVE to marry me' kind.

This was premeditated.

When Jason and I first got the idea that marriage just might be in the future for us, we talked about having children. It was scary for me, because I REALLY liked Jason and I could see him as my mate, but if he didn't want kids ... I wanted ... And that desire was very important to me.

You can imagine my relief when I brought the subject up and he jumped on it. "Of course. My perfect wife would want kids. One or two, at least..."

So naturally, we're married and we waited almost two years while we did the college thing and I went with him on jobs and had a wonderful life together, and then with graduation staring us in the face, we decided it was time.

I got off the Pill. It tickled me, because first off, our sex life has been HOT, but when Jason knew we were 'trying', he was an animal. I graphed it. Last two months, 26% increase in frequency of HIS orgasms. That's like 40% more for me.

Those stupid girls who thought they knew all about sex and marriage in high school used to hold forth that after about six months, that was it – everybody's done everything and it's all the same and it's boring.

Sooooo wrong ... If anything, we know each other. I can be myself and know that Jason's totally enthralled and aroused – every time. And that, Bunkie, is a LOT of times.

That's why my diary has that table – I wanted to see if things slacked up. They didn't and it's bidirectional. Sometimes it's ME starting it. Sometimes it's Jason. And every time it's good.

Susan is a very happy girl in that regard.

So we 'tried' for two months and Bingo!!! Second period after I dropped the Pill, I had a punctuation failure. No period. Those new home pregnancy tests are supposed to detect a pregnancy really early. When I missed the first day of my normally prompt period, I used one of those tests. It was positive.

Jason was on a cloud.

The funny part, though, was that almost simultaneously with MY discovery, my Tina missed her period. She went to the doctor because her Alan had a vasectomy and there was NO WAY that she could be pregnant.

That is, for a certain set of 'no way'. Unfortunately, or rather, fortunately for Tina and Alan, there's a tiny chance of spontaneous reversal or recanalization. Guess who hit the lottery in sperm production after vasectomy? If you picked Alan and Tina, you're a winner.

I was pretty much a 'given'. Jason and I are at the perfect age, healthy, and there's no reason we couldn't. Tina and Alan are a surprise.

It's Alan's fault, though. You see, he saved Grandma Desai in that armed robbery attempt and ever since then he's her hero. She says she's been making offerings to Shiva for Alan and pouring cream on a lingam. I had to look that up, and when I did, I laughed out loud.

"What's funny, love?" Jason asked.

"I just looked up 'lingam' online. It's a DONG!"

"Seriously?"

"Yes! And she pours cream over it as an offering..."

Jason laughed. "And she did that for Alan? It worked, huh?"

"Boy, did it ever!"

I'm looking at Jason sitting there. He's just taken his workboots off and he's relaxing and it's somehow making me... "Uh, you know what else I found about it?"

"No telling," he said. Jason suspects something though. He looks at me, smiling. "What else?"

"Usually a lingam is displayed with a yoni. Wanna guess what a yoni represents?"

"I've been telling you all along that I worship you," he said. "Now do you believe me? My own personal yoni?"

"I think it's time for some devotions," I said.

I'm already pregnant, so this one is purely for the fun of it. Oh well, ALL of them were for the fun of it. Just one of them turned out to be serious. I don't know which one. There are so many. Cindy asked me if I knew which one. I told her that when you eat a whole can of beans, you don't know which one made you fart.

Jason turned red. I don't usually use coarse language, but sometimes it fits.

Later, Cindy caught me. "You're sooo evil, Susan. That 'bean' comment..."

"Oh, come on, Cindy. You teed it up. I had to swing."

"Good one!"

"Wasn't original," I said. "I read it somewhere. Just put in storage for one day..."

"And I set up the straight line for you..." She grinned. "So, d'ya FEEL anything different?"

"I'm not sure," I said. "It's ... knowing it's there ... I might be imagining things. I feel a bit satisfied..."

"Smug, maybe?"

I looked at Cindy's face. My sister, just as sure as if Mom brought 'er home wrapped in a blanket. "Cindy, not smug. Not at all. It's a great adventure, sort of like all the adventures you and Tina and Nikki have put me through. And Jason. Especially Jason..."

"You met your match..."

"Like YOU did," I said.

"Yeah. Dan ... Dammit! Now I'm thinking about him..."

"Poor guy's in for another rape?"

"Oh, yeah," she said, smiling. "I got a little research time in the lab, then..."

"I'm going over drawings in the office. They insist I get some CAD time..."

"Our husbands are such slave-drivers," she said.

"Oh, I knowwww." I giggled. Other engineers from outside our community work with us now and they haven't gotten used to the ebb and flow in our office.

"Kids!" Harry Franklin said. He's a mechanical engineer we brought in for a project. "I never saw kids in an engineering office."

"Hi, Mister Harry," Terri told him. "My card..."

He read her card. Looked up at Alan. I was there. "This is a joke, right?"

"Terri, call Bot-bot. Show Mister Harry."

"Bot-bot?"

"You didn't look at the 'extracurricular activities' tab on our website, did you?" I asked him.

"Well, noooo."

"Should have," I giggled.

"Bot-bot's coming," Terri said.

We could hear the electric whine of Bot-bot's tracks. He turned the corner, saw Terri, beeped happily.

"Bot-bot," Terri said, "New face! Mister Harry Franklin."

Bot-bot beeped happy sounds as his head stalk rose. I knew Bot-bot was adding Harry's photos to his facial recognition bank.

"Bot-bot, come sit," Terri said.

The robot whirred to her side and lowered his back end, like a dog at his master's side.

"You're kidding."

"I am a Google associate development engineer," Terri said. "They came to talk with me."

"You're kidding." Harry looked at the rest of us for some kind of sign that we were pulling a joke on him.

"Nope," I said. "Bot-bot started from an idea about keeping squirrels off the bird feeder. You oughta see the militarized version at work." I giggled. "In the back yard by the feeder, 'pink squirrel' is NOT a girlie cocktail."

"I need to watch those videos," he said.

"You see why we let kids run around the office now?" I giggled.

He looked at Terri. Smiled. Terri smiled right back. "Alan, did you, like, live next to a nuclear reactor?"

Before her dad had a chance to reply, "Neutrino shower," Terri giggled. "That's the current hypothesis."

"You have a vocabulary."

"Thank you, sir," Terri said. "I would be interested in what you're going to do on your project. I promise that if I ask too many questions, you can tell me to go away..."

"You can ask," he said.

"Rachel, too?"

His eyes flashed around the room. "There's another one?!?"

We're getting to be legends. I know that I have nothing to do with the genetics of the pTerri-dactyl (Darn that Johanna for coming up with THAT nickname! It's so perfect, I should've thought of it!) but I'm in on the 'nurture' part of the 'nature versus nurture' continuum. Mom says Terri reminds her of me when I was that age. I only wish...

That's one layer of security in my life. I keep in touch with some of the kids who graduated with me in Tennessee and two years out from high school, it's awfully spotty for some of them. Out of the dozen I bother to watch, two of the boys and one girl are still living at home.

Three aren't in college. One of those has a full-time job that doesn't pay enough for her to move out on her own. Those in college are working at it, but seriously, a degree in mass communications or the generic 'business administration' doesn't carry the cachet of my bachelor's in electrical engineering, even if I DIDN'T have 3Sigma.

Yes, I've had job offers. It's always one of the utility companies that Jason and I have worked with. One old manager said, "I'll hire BOTH of you..." and that was before we actually graduated. We were on college's 'spring break' and we were working on a rush upgrade project in one of his substations. "We'll wait..." he said.

Jason talked to Alan and Cindy's Dan. He related the conversation to me later.

"If that's what you want," Alan said, "Go for it. Stable."

"But talk to Tim Duncan ... Or Dan 2.0. There's another side to stability. Tim tried..." Dan said.

"It's in his blood," added Alan. "It might be in yours..."

"I owe 3Sigma..." Jason said.

"No, you don't. We've made our money on you. We appreciate your efforts. You and Susan are family, not slaves, though ... But don't be disappointed at the money they offer."

"I'd be too far from Susan's sisters," Jason said. "There's NOTHING out there like this."

Alan laughed. "You got that part right. I never imagined..."

"Still, you know, it's flattering," Jason said.

"Jason, you're one that hasn't had to look for a job since college the first time around. You had a great reputation when I picked you up," Dan 1.0 said. "And then I passed you off to Alan and he took you without question. And now, as an engineer, you're more valuable than ever. You're running our field techs now. You can get your hands on the equipment any time you want. And you and Susan, it'd leave a big hole in this place..."

That's what Jason told me.

"They're right, you know," he said. "It's as much family as the family back in Texas."

"Or Tennessee," I added. "And where better to raise our children?"

I wasn't pregnant when that conversation happened, but I was just fresh off the Pill, so the kid was coming, sooner or later. And we talked about where to raise our progeny...

For perhaps the hundredth time this month alone, he asked himself how he had gotten into this fix.

Comes a time when a story needs to be halted. I, as a hack writer, have enjoyed the three stories, Cindy, Nikki, and Christina, that led to the formation of the group that became our Community. During the course of the story, we dragged in the characters from Melodic Redemption. Now I'm pulling in Kimberly 2.0. This isn't the end of the community. This is just the end of the first part of Community. Trust me, the story will go on as Community Too. Look for it. And remember Community.

Nanny’s house was a small, two bedrooms, wooden framed one near a cotton mill. She and my great-grandfather had worked at the mill. Back in those days, the companies felt it was best to have workers that lived near the mills. They built what was called mill villages, dozens and hundreds of basic houses near their plants. Then they sold them to the workers, taking mortgage payments out of their paycheck each week. The South is dotted with the remnants of these kinder, gentler days. By the time...

"Seriously. One of our clients specifically asked if we'd subcontract you so you can come in and do some stuff for him." "What and when?" Steve gave me the run-down. I wasn't too surprised. Big facility. I'd done a similar scope for part of it prior to moving to Alabama. Now...

The World According to Susan: I am officially ready for a break. It's almost Christmas. I almost hide when I see my math professor. That's okay, though. He almost hides when he sees Cindy. Jason's right there with me, though. He's tested out of some classes and he's gotten transferred credits for a lot of things he took for his technology degree and if he does a summer semester next summer, he just MIGHT squeeze his way onto stage with the rest of us. I hoping. He deserves it. We work...

Cindy's Turn: I finished, well, actually WE finished a Skype session with Kara. This time it was me and Nikki and Kara. I turned to Nikki. "She's a sister, you know. Should be part of the Community," Nikki said. I'm glad Nikki said it first. I don't want everybody to think I'm running this show. I'm certainly not malicious or anything, but everybody contributes in this effort. "How do we make it happen?" I asked. "She's music, not engineering." "We had Mizz Patel handling...

Bill Carmody's turn: Interesting turn of events, I think. Two years ago I had Dan Richards on my power plant project. I knew him and Alan Addison from a previous power plant project where we were engineers, all three of us, on the same project. They're technically beyond reproach. Now I'm on THEIR payroll. 'Their' is, of course, 3Sigma Engineering. We're redoing several rural substations in Georgia. I ride herd on contractors, mainly, and make sure that they adhere to plans, and I...

Community Moving OnChapter 4

Bill Hardesty’s turn: I’ve just become Bill 3.0. Cindy officially conferred the status upon me. “Bill 1.0’s my adopted dad. Bill 2.0’s Haley’s husband in Louisiana. Since you’re part of this now, you shall be Bill 3.0.” Which is fine, except to Herself, the Vickster, I’m ‘Billy’. “Cindy said you were ‘Billy’ when she first met you.” “I was. I like to think that I’m mature enough to be ‘Bill’ now.” Sparkly eyes. “Not ‘William’?” “Bill.” Snicker. “Billy.” That snicker is one reason I’m...

Beck’s turn: First thing I did when we got home is call Mom. “Hello, my lost daughter,” Mom said, using her best ‘poor me’ voice. “Did somebody go into the hospital? It is not yet Saturday.” “Mom, your GRAD-daughter...” ““GRAND daughter,” Mom corrected. “My grand-daughter the millionaire...” “Your grand-daughter the research scientist...” “What has become of her now?” “She’s holding a letter in her hands that says she’s graduated college with a degree in engineering.” “My...

Teresa’s turn: Mom’s totally destroyed. I’m standing on a pedestal, a seamstress, a REAL seamstress, is taking measurements for my wedding dress. “Mom, stop crying, for heaven’s sake...” “Every time I think about you getting married,” Mom sobbed. “It’s the expected progression in life. Grow up, leave home, get married...” “Finish college is in there somewhere,” Vicki said. She’s my co-conspirator. We’re getting married the same day. She’s tagged my little brother, a big surprise, since...

Susan's turn: I'm waiting for the aliens to show up. Here's how I figure it will break down. Nikki and Cindy will work with Terri and Rachel on the Star Wars squirrel denial system. They'll actually GET that 95 gigahertz transmitter, and in the process of modulating its output so that it only severely annoys squirrels instead of cooking them on the spot out there in the yard, they'll transmit a signal into space where it will be picked up by an alien spacecraft. The aliens will come...

Bill Carmody’s turn: Yesterday’s wedding was a delight, especially watching my NEW daughter (!) and Cindy, my original daughter, looking and acting very much like twins. Can’t help but grin, just thinking about it. Both of ‘em have a little fire in their eyes, and when they’re together, you can nearly SEE the sparks flying between them. Couldn’t have asked for a more unlikely development, right up to matching green dresses they bought together for the wedding. And my phone buzzes --...

Tina's turn: "What's so funny?" my husband asked. "Stoney and Jo are coming back and they're still flyin' that Pitts." "Did they buy it?" "She says 'no', but two trips, you gotta wonder." I giggled. I know the real reason. A combination of scheduling conflicts and weather had kept us from holding the weekend airport social and landing contest. The social, however, now had a few outside participants. I mean, it was bound to happen. We don't exist in a vacuum. On any given...

Cindy’s turn: 0700 for a wake-up. The alarm caught me when it went off. Sometimes I’m drifting between sleep and awake, but not this morning. I finally got to sleep, found out that Dana’s a kicker, so I kicked back. When the alarm went off, I let it roll for a bit, listening to the whines and other sounds of the gang waking up. I killed it, turned to get out of bed, but was a bit slow. I saw a T-shirted Rachel flash by muttering “bathroom...” Well, at least with two rooms we can split the...

Tina's turn: I keep telling myself that Bot-bot is not a real pet. I only wish I knew what was going on in my little girl's mind. Parse that statement, won't you? I have a stepdaughter who's ten years younger than me, who is probably past me in some ways, academically speaking. I know she does things with technology that all of us in the community wonder about. What went on in her head that caused her to take a mobile squirrel repeller platform and convert it into a pet? Yeah, I know,...

Tim's turn: I'd be a janitor for 3Sigma after seeing how Vicki and Kim fit in here. I'm THAT happy. That whole 'divorced dad' thing is horrible. I mean, you talk with your daughter on the phone once or twice a week, trying to stay up with what's going on in her life, and then you get a week or so for Thanksgiving or Christmas and you get a few weeks in the summer. A week was BAD. I don't know little girls. Until this past year, I didn't have my own place, so we cribbed up at Mom and...

Donna's turn: Do you know how to bring on pure pandemonium in my daughter's little community? Let me tell you. Saturday nights are the big night for music. Everybody's usually there. Well, sometimes we add Stoney and Johanna, sometimes Jason and Susan are off visiting one set of impending grandparents or the other. This particular weekend, though, we're all together. Me and Bill, we have our own swing there. So we laugh and sing and dance and then there's a break and my Bill stands...

Terri's turn: I really DO love my mom. I'm speaking of my natural mom, the person who carried me for nine months, then gave birth to me. I did not and still do not understand why she left Dad for Mister Martin. I know both men and there's no comparison. Tina tells me that there are things that go on in people's hearts and heads that are not easily defined. Defined. If you define 'step-mom', it means the woman who marries your dad. That's Tina. Dictionary definitions are so...

Nikki's Turn: Mommyhood hangs over us all. Don't get me wrong, I am in no way disparaging FOUR new mommies. Let's run down the list. Susan 'n' Jason have little JW – Jason Wallace, named after him and his dad. Alan and Tina have Katherine Genevieve – after nobody in particular, but Terri is forbidden to call her Kathygen. Johanna and Stoney have Randall Stonewall, and Mister Bill and Mizz Donna have Cindy's half-sister Elise Ann, a whole two days old. I'm likely to be the next. My...

Still Nikki’s turn: I squeezed Dan’s fingers. “A bit of bad luck, this,” I said. “Baby, be so kind as to hand me my iPhone. I need to get the news out.” Dana’s turn: We’re a pretty connected group here. I mean, everybody’s always texting and posting updates during the day, so when I got one from Nikki, I knew where she was supposed to be – on campus with the munchkins. I thought I’d see another ‘you won’t believe what Terri (or Rachel or Vicki) just did’ post. It wasn’t. I’m at the...

Derek’s turn: This is trouble. Wonderful, happy, delightful, ecstatically wonderful. But trouble. I knew what was going to happen when Rachel called me to help her feed Dana’s cat. Empty apartment except for me and Rachel and the cat, and the cat gets petted while I’m sitting next to Rachel and the cat leaves and Rachel turns to me. I like kissing her. I like holding her. We talk about everything. Tara says we’re too young to have a past, but I’ve lived through a car wreck and the loss of...

Cindy’s turn: It was just another morning in the office when the phone rang and as Maddie was occupied, I answered it. “3Sigma, this is Cindy. May I help you?” “Cindy? Good, it’s you I wanted to talk to.” “Hello Mizz Patel. What’s going on today?” “Would you mind if I drive out to your office? I’d like to talk about something in private.” I noted that she didn’t have her normal happy lilt. “Of course it’s okay. You’re always welcome here.” This was unusual for her though, so I added,...

Tara’s turn: We did it. Derek and I talked. He agreed, but honestly, I’m the adult in this equation, actually his legal guardian, and he would have had to go along with my plan. However, a certain pre-teen Jewish princess seems to have gained my little brother’s eye. I think that if we HADN’T decided to move, he might’ve hitched a ride back here. The apartment. Cindy and her Dan used to live here. It belongs to the corporation. They told me I could paint it any color I wanted, but honestly,...

Dana’s turn: I’m lying in bed in that wonderful cusp between awake and asleep at the end of a very good day. Cindy’s done her presentation at NASA, and to my knowledge, they haven’t yet recruited her for a space mission. Nikki’s been, well, Nikki, and she’s a superstar in her own right, maybe a little more sane than Cindy, but those two are a binary system, both bright in a way I never witnessed until I found her sitting across the table from me and Ed one night at dinner. And...

Nikki’s turn: I managed the stress of Mom’s interaction in my life quite well, I thought, right until Mizz Donna met me at the plane and hugged me. Then the floodgates opened. “What was I supposed to do, Mizz Donna?” I sobbed. Poor Dan. He’s standing behind me, wanting to do SOMETHING. “Darlin’,” she said comfortingly, “You did the right thing. World’s full of assholes. I used to be one, so I know...” I heaved a wordless sob. Mizz Donna was hugging me, Dan’s hand was touching my...

Kara’s turn: The world NEEDS a pregnant fiddle player. That’s what I told Dear Old Dad when I broke the news to him. “Dad,” I said, “I have a wonderful, successful husband and it is only right that we present you with grandchildren.” I heard a definite sigh over the phone. My dad. I’m trying really hard to conjure (one of Johanna’s words) a vision of business-suited Dad bouncing a grandbaby on his knee. “You make me regret that I didn’t make myself a bigger part of your life, Kara...

When we landed, though, we had the entire community standing there waiting on the arrival. It’s a big deal. Cindy exited first. Me? I stood in the door, my butt still inside indescribable luxury and newness, and said, “Okay, who wants a ride?” We have seating for eight – one of their ‘executive’ options – plus...

Cindy’s turn: Tina started this volume. I get to finish it. Christmas season. Or Chanukkah, because we have a sizable Jewish contingent now. It’s been quite a good year in a million ways. Okay, SEVERAL million ways, financially speaking. 3Sigma’s original business, engineering, is now engineering and construction, and we regularly berate ourselves because we’re bursting the seams on our SECOND building since the company started. Millions going into various accounts, and some of the happiest...
