" Zach what is wrong wit me well I be all right to do you know with Josiah?," Melody asked, with a frown " I want to get this over with so I can be with my husband," Melody thought, with a frown.

"As far as I can tell," Zach replied, "you're healthy. Whatever you were doing with your husband, go back to it as soon as I leave. I remember the time you went to the hospital with false labor, and you were fine. Then look at how well your twins are doing despite being preemies. I don't think the nausea is anything serious. Nonetheless, I will have that blood sample from you analyzed."

Soon--after another kiss with Tiffany--Zach was on his way to the laboratory.

The twins DID NOT wake up again.

Josiah and Melody went back to their bed, and Tiffany to hers.

" here there long time no, see," Melody said to her husband, with a giggle pulling him closer to her " I love you," Melody told her husband.

Mark was at his office doing paper work " Man I wish I didn't have to do this!," Mark told himself, with a sigh .

" Let's pray that there _won't_ be anything wrong with you," said Josiah. So they prayed quite seriously together....after which they each got another drink of water, so THAT wouldn't interrupt them. Then the clothes came off, and the lovemaking resumed.

=================

An e-mail, sent by secure communications lines, came to Mark:

"Hi, handsome! I'm finished with my latest case, and soon I'll be back in your neighborhood for some followup on the Islamist fanatics calling themselves God's Youth for Peace. I'll be staying in the same apartment that Melody and Josiah used before getting their current house. If you know what's good for you, you'll ask me out as soon as both our jobs permit.

X X X X X Colleen."

" I don't know what's wrong with me Josiah, but don't worry about it right now all right," Melody told her husband rubbing his back.

" Hey sweetie that's great news I can't wait to see you again. just let me know when you come and I'll see what I can do"


Love,

Glenda ndded," you're righ tbutI was still hoping fr a little more I gues," she said then gently kissed him, " thank you Ranjit."

The Coffee finally came but Lenny didn't move his eyes from Sam, " I think I need to talk to somone about my side of it. see what they say and...Sam I don't want to be single. God knows I don't want to be single."

"You're welcome," said Ranjit, hugging her in reply. "But it's a good thing we're young." And he was off.

~ ~ Ranjit and Glenda are not so far forward in the timestream that Lenny could not talk to Ranjit if he wishes. Remember also that Glenda and Ranjit left a sympathetic note on Sam's door.



" We've done what we can, AND we've laid the situation at God's feet," Josiah told Melody. "So let's trust Him. Now, darling, if you still feel awake enough, I would very much like to pick up where we left off discussing the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees."

AS Ranjit left Glenda made her way to the coutch in the living room and laid down.

~~I was actually thinking of him going to talk to Wayn Crawford

way ahead in the stream (if you do't mind joe) Sarah got dressed ad pull dher hair back into a pony tail. she got herself something to eat and then called jack

Melody rolled over on her back " I'm awake enough for now a lest," Melody told her husband, kissing him.

he stood up and leaned over the tny little cafe table. his lips wer gentle against hers, " I love you too."

she gently kissed him back, "our coffee is going to get cold," she whispered

Josiah happily settled into his rightful place: his bare legs tangled with Melody's bare legs, his muscular chest pressed against (ahem cough cough), their arms around each other, and their lips and tongues getting back to kissing. He was daring to hope that there would not be any more alarms or temper fits tonight.....





Jack was in the middle of a sword routine when his phone rang. "Hello?"

he smiled, " so?" he asked then after one mor ekss sat back down and took a drink.

Sam took a drink of her coffee, "who are you going to talk to?"
