I welcome all comments especially from non-genetic ladies out there at johnnail302@yahoo.com or johnnail18@yahoo.com
I woke up around 6 and I stumbled into the kitchen and I saw Stacy.
She said," Ahhh, John I see you need some coffee."
I gave her a sleepy smile while she handed me a cup. I took a big swig and shook out the cobwebs from my head.
I said," Ahhh I think I can function now."
She said," I think you are going to make Terri very happy. I am just curious how did you two meet?"
I went into the whole story of Tammi and our final breakup and meeting Terri at the local gym.
She said," Sounds like Tammi put you on a perpetual emotional roller coaster. She must not be very content with herself."
I said," You are the second one who has that theory. Terri has the same theory."
She laughed and said," Call it female intuition."
I said," As for making Terri happy I hope that is true. I know I have been happy since falling in love with her. When we met I didn't think I would feel this way about anybody."
She asked," You are heterosexual aren't you? I am just curious because most heterosexual men don't fall in love with a woman like Terri."
I said," I think I am as far as I have never fantasized about being with a guy or a cross-dresser. I don't really keep up with labels. I look at Terri as a beautiful lady even though she was born with male genitalia."
She said," Great, I am glad you feel that way. I thought you were a straight man when we met but I just wanted to make sure you weren't just straight acting."
I said," I am not a gifted actor blew it in a middle school Christmas play."
She laughed and said," Ok well even though you haven't proposed yet I am 99% sure she will say yes and welcome to the family."
I said," Even though I am a Jeff Foxworthy's definition of a redneck?"
She laughed and said," Well we know we won't get any pretenses from you. Yes, Mark and I are big fans."
After that comment Mark, Bob and Linda came out into the dining-room area.
Stacy looked at Mark and said," John just said that he is a Jeff Foxworthy definition of a redneck."
Mark laughed and said," There is a little bit of a red-neck in everybody even here in the San Francisco area. So, John, do you have any plans after Terri gets out of the hospital?"
I said," Terri has said that she has all ways wanted to eat at the wharf while we are here. I think that is where I am going to propose to her."
Everybody said," That is nice she will like that."
I looked at my watch and saw it was time to go and Bob offered to take me and than take me to a car rental place.
I got in and than Bob we put the seat belts on and off we went and 30 mins. later we arrived at the hospital.
I got there just in time to see Terri smiling so warmly at me.
She said," I just got done signing the discharge papers and making sure my insurance information is right."
The doctor came in and said," Ok, now Ms. Martin your appointment is set up with Dr.Markdall the urologist in Billings and here is the card. He will check to make sure the ureathra and everything is in working order and you will see him in a month."
The nurse had Terri in a wheelchair and wheeled her to the curb and after she got out she grabbed me in a passionate embrace.
She said," John, I love you so much."
We went to the car where Bob was waiting and she hugged Bob thanking him for being such a supportive father.
I held the back door open and she scooched over to the middle of the seat and than I got in.
After we got started down the road she said," I know you said you were going to wait for the right moment. When is the right moment you had in mind?"
I said," I was thinking at the wharf."
She said," Oh my, that is a romantic surprise so I am looking so forward to it."
With that comment she leaned her head against my shoulder and Bob winked at through the rear view mirror.
Bob said," Oh John stayed at your uncle's and aunt's house last night at our invitation."
She laughed and said," So John is part of the family is he."
Bob said," He certainly could be."
We rode to the car rental place and I got the car which was a Ford Taurus.
After we were in the car Bob said," Follow me to Mark's and Stacy's house."
Well we followed him for 30 minutes and arrived at Mark's and Stacy's house when Terri turned to me.
She said," Ok, this surprise is getting more intriguing the way dad is acting."
We walked in and the house was a buzz everybody talking at once.
Mark pulled me aside and asked," Does Terri know?"
I said," No she is intrigued with the way your brother is acting."
He said," I had to keep reminding Stacy not to spill the beans and I also had to remind Linda."
I laughed and said," I know that was tough."
He said," You don't know the half of it."
Stacy said," It is time for supper."
I pulled the chair out for Terri and helped her push it back in after she sat down.
I sat down across from her and we bowed our heads to bless our meal.
We all talked and laughed through dinner. After everything was cleaned up we moved to the living room.
We talked until 11:30 and Terri and I went to the guest room to get ready for bed and Terri got dressed for bed in the bathroom upon her insistence.
We both slid into bed together for the first time and we kissed each other goodnight and fell asleep in anticipation for tomorrow.
