The Change Is Forever My Darling

I stood crying while holding my 9-month-old baby daughter in my arms and my three almost four-year-old daughter's little hand as the urn that contained human remains or ashes was placed into the crypt of the mausoleum on our land. Many mourners of family and friends had come to pay their last respects to the dead, as I was dressed all in black as prescribed as western mourning attire from the three inch high heeled leather dress pumps to my black fur coat, and veiled hat that I wore over my coiffed hair to the simplistic gold jewelry I wore. My fiancé, sister, her fiancé, father, mother and my children were at my sides as I cried even harder. It wasn't because I mourned the loss of my mate but because I lost my manhood. Soon I wear white; I will meet my fiancé at the altar and become his wife. I guess I had better back up as I tell this traumatic story from my past and bring you up to date.

My name was William (Willie the Ferret) Carmody and I was the best at what I did; I was a Burglar, not just any run of the mill burglar but a Cat Burglar. I could lift the gold fillings from your teeth as you slept in your bed. Hell I could make love to a man's wife as he slept next to her and she would think it was her husband packing the salami to her. I could kiss a man, making love to him and he'd think it was his wife. Electronic systems and safes were no match for my skills of my chosen profession. Dogs loved me as I fed them meat laced with a sedative to make them sleep for a few hours.

Everything I wore was dull black and my suit was a standard ladies catsuit that fit my form made of stretch nylon without the shine and my tight fitting nylon and underneath my latex gloves. To throw off anyone the suspicion that night if they saw me it looked as if I was a woman as what I wore underneath was nothing but female attire from the laced black panties, padded panty, thigh high hose, to the black sport bra with the C cup silicone and latex breast enhancers and my high top black aerobic shoes with the pink trim and black laces, which was all my wife's idea to throw off the cops. (And no I wasn't a transvestite!) You see I was a two-time Offender but not in my chosen trade and she wanted me around and not be stuck with a Life Sentence in the Joynt. In my adult years after I learned my trade I had never been caught but if I was, the judge would see those convictions and I'd say goodbye for the rest of my life.

We meaning my three helpers and I, Jake, Arnold and Tom had hit the Mother Lode. In less than four hours and ten homes of Breaking and Entering I estimated we had made an excellent haul of several million dollars in artwork, jewels, gold and cash. I knew one house alone had a priceless collection of Russian and Greek religious Icons that had an estimated value of over several million dollars, somehow I even manage to net a Faberge Egg that had once belonged to some Russian Czar and damn it was gorgeous. Who says that thieves don't appreciate art? I know I do and the owner once did.

Each time I came out of a home with a load, a different car was waiting with one of my partners driving it, parking it in an affluent driveway of a home to avoid suspicion by the Bulls. If we had enough time in casing the homes we'd note the color, year, make and models of the cars they had so those cars could be in a driveway, again avoiding suspicion and silent to the patrols that prowled.

After I cleaned out the last house, we were headed to what I believed was Tom's farm, however we had to get rid of the cars first. I called Madeleine my wife from a payphone on the way asking her to meet us there. That entire night of joy was to become my only mistake of my career. For that mistake I received a Life Sentence in the way of a change in lifestyle forever. For that mistake it became a night of horror and absolute terror, for me.

All the cars we had used were all wiped clean and cleansed of evidence. The vehicles were then dumped in various locations that we knew were infested by street gangs and car thieves or those looking for bargain car parts, like free. We just knew they'd be picked clean for their parts as our van followed very far behind with our haul of ill gotten gains.

It was dark in the early morning hours when we got rid of the last car. Before we got rid of the first car I had changed to cover up the Catsuit, again putting on all female attire, just a pair of blue jeans that zippered at the legs and sides that had small red bows at where the zippers began that ran up the leg, a blue chambray oversized shirt and red, two-inch heeled, leather, ankle strapped pumps. I added a dark red leather, waist length jacket, brushed out my long auburn hair that reach the middle of my back, placing my hair into a ponytail that was in a bun underneath my knit watch cap I wore earlier. I added gold studs to the two holes in each ear, added my makeup and red lipstick after taking off the dull black makeup that hid my face, kept my skin from shining and to blend into the night.

"Damn Willie, I'd drill you now if I didn't know who you were, you’re a man's wet dream. The worst part is you look like Maddy, I do know you sound like her." Jake said as he climbed into the van with me saying,  "It was Maddy's idea for the disguise so we wouldn't draw attention, I hate to say it but she said that if we were stopped, the cop would be too interested in what he sees, like a good looking female, to check over the van too closely. Just remember the cover story is I'm taking you guys home after closing the bar; so have a drink so I can smell the booze on your breath." I said smiling as I checked out my purse to make sure I had all my fake I.D. and driver's license.

In no time we made it to the farm going right to the barn and driving the van inside of it. We had the van unloaded in record time with the goods put into an old bomb shelter that was hidden deep under the floor and earth that the previous owners built during the Cold War.

Maddy was already there having driven her motorcycle and had been drinking heavily along with my cohorts or what I called my thieves in training. Our babies were in the care of my baby sister Stella that was staying with us for a few days at our home.

Maddy was amazed as we all were at everything we brought into the shelter. The cash amounted to over two million dollars or so at a fast count; the jewels and furs were all real, possibly in the vicinity of three to six million and the art probably would bring in ten to fifteen million. That was possibly twenty million dollars in total at a low estimate and that was our share after everything was Fenced. I was pleased, but the cops and the insurance cops would be bound and determined to catch the perpetrators of this major heist.

The jewels, furs and money, except for eighty thousand dollars were placed back into the van. The eighty grand was split amongst us, yet I gave Arne and my share to Maddy to hold until he drove us home as a precaution. The art works were left in the shelter, as it was climate controlled and sealed as we left.

I had a feeling I should have driven but Arne seemed okay so I just sat in the back of the van and Maddy climbed into the front passenger seat; she I could tell, she was drunk. At first this bothered me as she rarely drank to excess but then the success of this heist might have brought this on so I let the situation go by the wayside.

In no time we arrived at the public storage and unloaded, with me securing our storage area with very high security padlocks at the door. The locks were armored, torch proof, pick proof, bullet proof and bolt cutter proof; if a bomb destroyed the storage area the locks would be intact. Once again we were on the road with Arne driving his normal speed, fast. It was after I said for him to slow down that it happened.

We came to a triple, snaking turn in an undeveloped section of the county road system. The signs posted said ten miles per hour and Arne was doing fifty at least. We made the first turn and that was all she wrote, as he lost control of the van. It swayed from side to side on the left two and then the right two wheels, as he fought for control, but not before reaching the next curve. The van hit a ditch rise and took flight into the air, when it came down it rolled several times with me being thrown free of the vehicle into the weeds; that must have saved my life and me from substantial injury. I was knocked unconscious briefly becoming coherent several minutes later to see the van heavily engulfed into flames. I could see that the doors to the front and the front end of the van were heavily damaged. I saw no signs of life! I tried to get to those doors, I really tried, but I was forced back by the flames that tried to lick and singe me.

For some reason I still had the purse I carried as I wore it crossed from one shoulder across my breasts to settle at the hip. I was nervous and scared, dropping to my knees and vomited. Regaining my composure I dug into my purse and pulled out sixty thousand dollars and Maddy's engagement and wedding ring set. At first I was perplexed and then realized it was Maddy's purse and not the purse that I had carried. My mind was still blurred but I didn't recall taking her purse, maybe I did and maybe I didn't; I just can't recall. I went deeper and found her cell phone that we both carried and called the house with Stella, my sister, answering half asleep.

"Stella wake up, it's me!"

"William? You sounded like Maddy at first; what's wrong?"

I told her about everything leading up to what had just happened along with the possible deaths of Maddy and Arne in the van. By all indications I was in good shape except for maybe some bruising. Okay so I lied, I had a great deal of bruising, I was bruised all over my small lithe body. The worst was hearing my sister laugh heartily at me as I told her how I was dressed and that I had Maddy's purse and all her I.D., though I also heard the sadness and concern in her voice that Maddy was now deceased.

"Well dear sister in law of mine, I guess you'd better become Maddy as I think William is now very dead. I think you'd better put those rings on also, just in case. Look I'm sorry about Maddy but now you have to survive.

If you tell the Bulls who you are while dressed like that…Oh wow you'll be hit of the jailhouse, walking very strange for a very long time and that's not to say what the judge will do. Right now you have to think of the girls…"

"Thanks Stella, I don't need to be reminded, just come get me. I'll call the Bulls and fire department, I just hope the bodies are ashes by now and they didn't suffer."

"Maddy for your sake, I hope so too, I'll be there in thirty minutes dear. The one thing in your favor is you didn't have a thing to do with the deaths and I'll call Marlin at get him to cover for you three as he always does; Mom needs to know also."

"Thanks Sis, I hear a car coming, I have to go." I said urgently.

"Be careful sis, we love you." Stella said as we disconnected.

Just as I put the cell phone into my purse, I heard voices yelling as I sat on the ground and crossed my legs in pain to give the appearance I was in partial shock after I buried the money I carried deep into the pockets of the purse and placed the I.D. wallet/clutch purse on the top.

"Miss., Miss., are you okay?" A mans' voice said to me softly as I was covered in a blanket over my shoulders.

Before answering I heard the wail of sirens on emergency vehicles approaching saying, "I think so, my Lord, my husband…and Arne…" I said as I fainted dead away, which I really did do from the pain I was in.

Some very obnoxious smell awoke me. I was laying on the ground with a man in firefighter turnout gear kneeling next to me saying as he held something under my nose, " Madeleine, don't move yet please. I don't think you have anything broken but I'd rather have the hospital check you out."

"My husband and friend?" I asked weakly.

"Ah…. well…. I'm sorry but they didn't make it. You're a very lucky girl to be alive. The coroner and the funeral home have arrived to remove the remains. There isn't much left of them, the fire chief said the bodies were basically cremated. Please, it isn't a pleasant sight." He said as I began to rise to my feet unsteadily.

"I have to…. That was my husband as irresponsible as he was; he was still my husband. I have to call my sister in law, his parents, my poor babies." I said softly crying and distraught.

"Ma'am, please!" The man said as he held me from going to the van with a cop running to us saying,  "Please Mrs. Carmody, there isn't much left to see or do. You really can't help them now; they're gone. We notified his sister and mother, they or at least one of them are on their way; please let the ambulance take you to the hospital to be checked out." The cop tried to console me as he held my one arm with the firefighter the other.

I screamed saying, "I have to, damn them and their drinking! we were all going home from work at the Fireside Lounge, I'm a hostess and William is the manager. His sister is watching my babies so we could work. His last wishes were to be cremated without an autopsy, damn him, I guess he got his wish." I cried heavily letting the tears flow thinking of Maddy.

"Let me call Mr. Jasper here and speak to you. He's the deputy coroner and the mortician for the county." The cop said running to the burned out van just as my sister arrived in my suburban. When she saw me she told a cop whom she was, running to me when she saw me, saying, " Are you okay Sis?"

"I'm just beat up, William is dead Stella; He's dead!" I said and screamed to her as I cried heavily again onto her shoulder with her holding me showing my grief to everyone as the grieving widow. She maintained herself to console me.

"My condolences Mrs. Carmody on your loss, but at least you've survived; I'm Jacob Jasper from Jasper Mortuary. The officer told me what your husband requested. Due to the condition of the remains of the deceased I had spoken to the Coroner and the last wishes of the deceased will be granted since you've identified the positions and the occupants."

"Oh thank you, will your mortuary complete…." I said as I broke down and cried more with the mortician saying, "We'll take care of everything for you and contact you at home. I have your telephone number and address. Now young lady will you please state to the firefighter and the Police Officer what Mrs. Carmody has requested from the mortuary. " Mr. Jasper looked at Stella with her Stella telling them both what I wanted and said I would be going with her, as I didn't want to go to the hospital. She would call our family doctor and make sure I was examined.

Slowly I was walked over to the Suburban by several people and was helped it seemed by many hands to get inside of the vehicle, as I truly cried for my loss. Maddy was the love of my life and the mother of our babies, the tears I had spilt were real, as I would miss her for the rest of my life. At the same time I cursed her for what would happen and was about to happen to change me forever.

"Damn, you are William, aren't you?" Stella asked as she drove the car away from the accident scene with me saying, "Sis, please don't start on me, I've lost so much tonight, a friend, my wife and the mother of the girls." I sobbed as I said those words

"It is you! I really thought you were Maddy when I saw you. But on the phone…I know you told me everything." Stella said with me sadly saying, "It was her idea to draw suspicion away from me or the male of the species."

"Damn you have balls! You're…"

"I know but now if I'm caught it can be worse than anything I ever could imagine." I said as we pulled into my garage noticing mom's parked car. Now for sure I'd never hear the end of anything and my life had really gone to shit.

I heard silence as we entered the house until the door was closed with mom saying, "Stella did you bring William home?" Mom said with Stella saying,

"Momma I think you better come out here with daddy."  I knew I was dead meat for sure if my dad saw me. He's over six foot nine inches tall and three hundred pounds of pure meanness being a retired outlaw biker, but normally he was a big teddy bear to his family. Now as a successful businessman he really hadn't changed. He's the type of man that rides his Harley Hogg in the motto of the Postal Service, Neither rain nor snow nor gloom of night. He never rode the Hogg, he put it on like a jacket. Oh Shit, I was going to die!

"Maddy, you're alive then that means…Oh no!" Mom said as she dropped to the floor in a dead faint.

"OhMyGod, Jennifer! darling please…" Daddy said seeing mom on the floor and then looked up as he saw me and passed out also.

Stella helped me get Mom off the floor and onto a couch after we both looked at each other and shrugged our shoulders. Now dad was another matter altogether, there wasn't a forklift available so we just let him lay where he was. Sorry, I wasn't about to get a hernia! Hey, bring on that crane!

I ran to the bathroom, ignoring my pain, found the amyl nitrate capsules in the first aid kit and ran back. I handed one to Stella pointing her to dad while I stuck one under mom's nose after I broke it.

"Where…. Maddy…. How did I get here?" Mom said groggily with me saying, "Mom…um… uh… I'm not Maddy. Mom, Maddy is dead." I ran to the Master Bedroom crying flinging myself onto our bed we shared for five years. It was quite a while that I cried when the door opened slowly with the cutest little angelic face peeking in. She stood for a while and watched me as I cried and then walking to me saying "Mommy please don't cry, I 'm here."

"Come here Suzy." I said as I brought her to me, hugged her and cried again.

"Honey, I'm not…"

"Oh yes you are mommy. Suzy go help grandma and grandpa in the kitchen while mommy and I talk." Stella said softly to my daughter before she ran from the room.

"You'd better think again about what you were going to say. You know kids at her age talk to anyone and can say anything. Do you want to wind up in the can? Now I came to help you and we can talk while you get out of those clothes and into the bath." All I could do was to nod my head as I began to get slowly undressed. I felt miserable, every Joint, muscle and tendon hurt in my body, not to mention the massive, pounding headache I had.

I heard her breathe in sharply as I stripped to my catsuit. Once removing it and the breast forms she began to breath somewhat normally until she saw what appeared to be breasts that really were mine, which I thought, were caused by gynecomastia or beer. Then I saw her smile almost to the point of laughing as she saw the black-laced panties that were smooth in the front, the padded panties I wore and the knee-highs along with my shaved, hairless body after starting the bath for me.

I stood before her naked with her saying, " Jeez are you sure those two babies are yours with that little thing? You didn't even have a bulge in those panties." She said as she pointed to my private area.

"Just help me to the bath, get me a robe and my slippers after I get into the tub, wiseass." I said viciously.

Slowly I walked with Stella's assistance and gently descended into the hot water. Stella had put in massive amounts of bath oil, mineral salts and bubble bath; I smelled the rich fragrance of flowers that was always present on Maddy's luscious body. I began to cry as I thought of her and the mess I was in. without saying a word Stella went into the bedroom closing the bathroom door as she left. When Stella left me, I had to mourn in my own way. While I cried I saw and ignored some swelling in my chest area but I hurt so much in every place, I attributed it to the accident.

There was a soft knock as I cried and soaked with mom coming into the bathroom with dad and mom saying, " Back to your old habits. We saw and heard everything on the TV and Radio."

"I don't understand…"

"William you promised us no more B and E's, the Bulls will want your ass hanging after this stunt. They say that a Cat Burglar stole about one hundred grand in stuff. And now you with this pretending to be Maddy."

I was at a loss for words at first, one hundred grand? I hardly think so! Those artworks are worth a fortune alone. What about the cash, jewels and furs? The medical bills for the kids were killing us we're about to lose the house this was the only way; it had to be the last time. Dad, I swear that the clothes were all Maddy's idea to throw off the Bulls but the loot was the take of a lifetime. The art alone is worth millions after it's all fenced. We have cash, jewels and furs worth a king's ransom."

"Yeah, well, now she's dead and everyone thinks you died in that van. Your kids no longer have a mother, now what?" Dad said with mom saying, "I'll tell you now what, he has to be Maddy in every detail, he physically has to be and become her. I suggest you call some favors in dear, while Stella and I attend to your daughter-in-law, right Maddy dear?"

"But Mom…"

"No, but Mom nothing, Suzy already thinks you're Maddy and so do many others from this escapade of yours." Mom said as she started to wet me down with the soothing bath water with dad saying, "I hate to say it but your mother is right, logically, legally and otherwise William is dead and Maddy is alive. It's fortunate that she was an orphan with no other family but us, so that's favorable for you. Now as far as anything else, we'll help recover what there is of the cash, jewels and furs. Now the art needs to stay where it is which I assume is at the farm, let those idiots them keep the art and Fence it through the old Brotherhood. As far as you know everything else was destroyed in the van."

"Hell no, I deserve a cut of the artwork, they're worth millions! Dad they're not stupid when it comes to jewels, they'll know fire doesn't destroy gems it would just melt the settings and the other metals." I said.

"We'll see about that, if they become trouble well all I can say is there are ways to end it. In the meantime Maddy, I have a few calls to make. I really don't want to do it but damn you screwed us good, now we're all accomplices to your shenanigans. I should let them have your ass on a platter, but our granddaughters need a mother. One thing I can thankfully say is that no drugs were involve or was there?" Dad said with me saying, "Nope, it was there but you know I don't touch that crap. One house had a vault full of the shit, kilos that I left, probably way over five million in street value." Mom began washing and conditioning my hair with me saying, "Dad I don't know if I can go through with this charade. I mean being a male is one thing but to assume my dead wife's identity… Being a woman and a mother…."

"You should have thought about that before the break-ins and being dressed as you were. Our grandkids need a mother, since you obviously look like her, Suzy thinks you’re her and pretending to be her; by what Stella says you act and speak like her; you will be her! I will not serve time for you and this is the only way out of this situation you placed us in. Girl you screwed up! That's the end of the discussion!" Dad said as he left the bathroom angrily.

"Mom…"

"Oh no! This is one time I agree with your father. You screwed up young ma…. Lady. Maybe you'll see things differently once you're on the other side of the fence." Mom said, as Stella came into the bathroom with a red quilted robe, long flowing flowery flannel nightgown, red satin panties, matching bra and red satin slippers.

My eyebrows shot up as I saw everything she brought into the bath. Mom helped me to stand as I felt the pain return to my body contorting my face.

A towel was wrapped around my hair in a turban just as I saw Maddy do so many times after she washed her hair. Another towel was wrapped high around my body after it was dried as I stood in silence.

"Come with me into the bedroom." Mom said authoritatively as she gathered the clothing that Stella had brought into the bath.

Mom motioned for me to sit at Maddy's makeup table as she laid down the clothes on the bed coming back to my seated form. She picked up a pair of tweezers and went to town on my eyebrows while I closed my eyes from the added stinging pain I felt. Maybe some people like this sort of thing, maybe those people believe in the old adage of sticks and stones may break my bones but whips and chins excite me. Sorry but that's not me and I have a mountain of pain and now this.

Once finished and pleased with her handiwork I received a manicure, nail and a pedicure in the deepest red nail polish available on Maddy's table, that was now mine. Damnit why in the world was I ever talked into impersonating a woman? Impersonate hell, they want me to have the works, indoor plumbing an all.  Damnit Maddy I hope you're seeing all the pain I'm in and what you started. I am a man, a father; I have a penis, testicles, I was your husband and lover now I'm your widower or widow. Now I have to be you for the rest of my life in every physical way. Laugh, go ahead and laugh about the pain, suffering, indignation and humiliation I'm going through, I thought. Now dad and mom were another story; I sensed something in their words they spoke that didn't quite ring true, there was something that I wasn't being told, it wasn't like them to not tell me the entire truth.

"Mommy can I stay and help grandma?" Suzy said sweetly from the doorway.

"Answer your daughter mommy, she wants an answer, you schmuck." Mom said softly as she placed roller after roller into my hair and tapping my head with her finger and then a comb. Damn she was pissed! I held my daughter saying, "Sweetie, mommy isn't feeling well and grandma is helping mommy. I want you to be a good girl and go to Aunty Stella or Grandpa until mommy gets dressed; then we'll talk, Okay?"

"Yes Mommy, I love you."

"And I love you too baby, now go to Aunt Stella or Grandpa." I said giving her a kiss and her happily leaving the room with mom softly saying, "Damn, I think you'll do well mommy, maybe something called mothering rubbed off on you from the old Maddy. Okay dear take off that towel and lay on the bed please."

I did as she said knowing better that she was very angry at my stupidity that got me into this mess. Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa; through my faults, through my faults, through my most grievous faults as the Altar Boys once said with the priest in the traditional Catholic Masses. Damnit to hell, I was in some very brown and deep shit!

I felt something cool and foreign being spread onto my chest as I closed my eyes; it felt soothing, then I was momentarily shocked as something else was being pressed onto both sides of my chest covering my kinda boobs and nipples. After what amounted to be several minutes, Mom took my hand and made me stand. What the hell? I felt a pulling and massive weights that I never experienced before; not even with the breast forms I wore which were never attached. I opened my eyes and looked down to what amounted to was fear; as I saw tits on my chest that looked real, my eyes must have said it all with mom saying, "Get used to them dear as you'll have your own set very soon for life. Oh and the adhesive is good for thirty days so you have to get used to them now even at night." Mom said smiling.

Now it was one thing to just have loose hooters in a sports bra but to have them affixed to your chest was another thing. I felt my bruises and my mind saying what the hell did you do to deserve this? I just bet Maddy is really laughing now! I bet she was now jumping up and down in her glee at what was happening to me.

I was handed a pair of the panties Stella retrieved earlier that I put on, but of course, no matter what I did it was wrong with Mom telling me to tuck my Little Thingy back between my legs and pull the panties up tight. Next was the bra; I will proudly say I was a master at taking the damn things off, but sadly I will say putting one on was a different story. It took me over five minutes to get it on as my mother smiled at my predicament and me not offering her assistance. At least the Nightgown, slippers and robe were easy enough but as I took my first steps in those red satin, wedge heeled slippers I almost fell on my face. Okay I thought, so I could walk in high heels, so I tried the same technique of rolling my hips and shorter steps, which seemed to work out fine.

"Are you hungry Maddy?" Mom asked with me saying. "Yes mom but I need the sleep more. Mom I really miss my wife." Mom looked at me without skipping a beat said, "No dear, your husband, you're Maddy from now until you die and we all love you. You still don't have any inkling to what you've done, have you?"  

"Oh yes I do, I bet she's laughing her ass off at this very minute watching me suffer." I said as I took off the robe and slippers placing the robe at the foot of the bed, lying down onto the bed trying to get comfortable

"That's very possible and there's more to go dear daughter." Mom said as she kissed my forehead, closing the drapes, leaving the room and shutting the door.

Maddy I swear you did this on purpose to me; I thought as I tried to fall asleep with the curlers in my hair and the boobs tugging at my chest. It was then the door softly open. I felt the bed shake causing my boobs to move too and the curlers tug at my scalp.

"Mommy can I stay with you for a little while?" Suzy said softly, as she lay next to me in the darkened room.

"Sure my little darling." I said using Maddy's term of endearment as I took her into my arms and held her to me, as I softly cried myself to sleep with my daughter at my side.

Several hours later I awoke in our bed we had shared, sorry my bed. My body felt not only sore but had the strangest sensations from the tweezing, tugging and pulling. It was then I realized what was done to me along with every reason and why. The reasoning flooded my male essence in the shame I felt in what I was to become from what I was. Yet it was then I knew that and what my Maddy had felt for the children that I never felt, a sense of nurturing. I understood at once that my family wasn't doing this to humiliate me but to see to it the children had a parent that was not incarcerated that they needed on the long journey through life. Silently I vowed that I would indeed raise my daughters, as Maddy would have wanted to do, if I am to be their mother, so be it. I also added to that vow that if I was to become a female I want it all now and cope later with any changes I had mentally or physically. Now the thought of a man…. well…I just can't say, probably not.

Silently I put on my Maddy's, I meant my robe and slippers and went to the bathroom. I was about to raise the seat and do it my former way of aim and shoot when I caught myself. Raising and lowering everything I wore, I sat, relieved myself and wiped just as any woman would. Inside I smiled not feeling any shame as to my new sexual status. I knew that I would have shame later, however that was later and this was now. Silently I left the bath through the bedroom and down the hallway to the kitchen; passing the family room I heard Suzy watching Sesame Street and smiled going into the kitchen with mom saying, "Well, looks who's up? Did you sleep well mommy dear; are you still in pain Maddy?" Mom said concernedly as she came and kissed me on the cheek assisting me to a chair at the table. 

"The answers are not really and a very definitive yes. Mom, these curlers are a killer, how in the hell do you do it? I also hate sleeping on my back or side."

"Too bad little girl, get used to it." Mom said.

"Where's Dad and Sis?" I asked.

"They went to see some people; you my dear have to get dressed quickly, we have a doctors' appointment for you that your father made for you. Please put a sports bra into your purse before we go. I suggest casual dress for the doctor, jeans, sweater and slip ons. We'll take your Suburban with you driving and I'll drive back. Your daughters are all set to go with us after you eat. Your father furthermore said to leave the money for the back bills you owe and he'll take care of it."

"Sure Mom, does the doctor know what's going on?"

"He doesn't care as long as he's paid with cash and upfront."

Again I had the feeling that I wasn't being told everything however I quickly retrieved my purse and took out the sixty thousand dollars that Mandy had placed into it. I counted out eight thousand dollars for the bills and back house payments saying, "I have fifty two thousand left will that be enough?"

"Oh my yes, he told your father six thousand up front and six more payments of the same each week for six weeks. Now you can give him half his fee…"

"Is this guy legit?"

"Why yes, your father got his name from Baldy and no records are kept so the cost is higher. The doctor is doing the complete job in his office with two other doctors if they are needed. He promised complete anonymity in the handling of your case. Today you're getting your own breasts, remove your testes and add hormonal implants, next week more hormones possibly a bit more facial surgery and a check up, next they're taking everything and make the internal plumbing, when that is healed more check ups, hormones and whatever has yet to be done.

Since William is dead, the paper file and computer files along with the old fingerprints were removed and Maddy's were put into their place so yours are now the true Maddy's fingerprints. That took some doing but it's done on both the local and federal level. Your father is also having a family tree done for you and us, Maddy dear, just as a just in case you do have relatives and ours for Suzy and Ellie."

"Damn that was quick! Mom this…. I mean…Damnit, I don't want to lose it!" I said as I sipped coffee and ate some toast nearly in tears. I really didn't want to lose anything yet; I already lost Maddy and my identity as a man but was it really necessary for me to become a woman in all aspects of this word and world? It was quick, I guess money really does speak for quick, decisive action but it had to be accomplished quickly. I had just finished my toast and coffee when Suzy came running to me, if I had to comply Ellie and she were the reasons why I did so. Gently I picked her up and held my daughter in my arms and kissed her saying, "I heard you and Ellie are coming with Grandma and I to the doctor."

"Yes mommy can we get a toy coming home?" Suzy said smiling with me smiling and saying, "Oh…. I guess so, but we'll have to see how much money I have to spend later on. Mother, do the children need anything other then toys?" Mom patted her granddaughter's head saying, "They're both growing so fast and Ellie is fine but this one needs everything and I imagine you do too."

"Mother I have closets full of clothes and shoes plus dressers full of lingerie." I said as I placed Suzy down with mom saying, "But the clothing tastes might be different, we'll discuss this later dear."

I left the kitchen and walked to my bedroom silently in thought. Inside I removed the robe and nightgown. I found a new pair of red colored slightly flared jeans and a red and black, mock turtleneck, oversized pullover sweater in one closet. In the dresser I found a pair of black thigh highs and decided to wear a pair of 3-inch, black colored, high-heeled, open toed pumps that had a bow and a matching shoulder bag. Screw the slip ons!

Mom came into the bedroom and approved of my choices in clothes and laid my red purse on the bed. In minutes I was dressed, had my makeup on, with her taking my hair from the curlers. As she worked on my hair she suggested a salon appointment when I remembered there was one already made for tomorrow at nine am. For some reason I just knew I was going to be in greater pain than what I felt now. When Mom finished I looked in the mirror and I saw my dead wife's reflection until I realized it was me that I saw. It's funny but you never know how much you love something or someone until they are gone. It wasn't yet twenty-four hours and the pangs of loneliness were coming to the forefront.

While transferring the contents of the old purse to the new black purse I found an old, nasty condom that was used in a hidden pocket with a new unopened box of lubricated Trojans. That seemed strange to me as we never used those things at any time before, during or present in our sexual relationship. OhMyGod, a Boyfriend! Cheating! How could I have not seen the signs?

"Yes dear, she was with…. Marlin we think or so that's what the rumor is going around." Mom said sadly.

"Mom do you understand that if she was with the Moose, that now since I'm her, he'll come after me?"

"Dear you are a woman now and women have a sexual power over a man. That is your first lesson now there are other ways to please him besides intercourse."

"Great now I'm in sex education all over again. I really don't want to hear the details." I said moaning loudly as I threw the condom into the trashcan that I held with two fingers.

"No dear you aren't, but what was taught was from the man's prospective and not the woman's side. As we keep saying you…"

"Okay Mom, just get me that frozen banana and I'll be a good girl for you as I tickle my tonsils with it." I said smiling as mom slapped my arm in a joking fashion.

I finished the transfer of the contents of the purses and left the room as mom watched me as I walked. I felt her eyes boring into me with every step I took to the coat closet as I removed a long black leather trench coat and added a red silk scarf to cover my head. I had my coat on and sat down on a couch and crossed my legs very seductively. I saw mom give me her look of approval as she went to get her things and my keys to the Suburban when I heard a motorcycle pull into the driveway and garage.

Seconds later dad came into the house smiling and saying, "Damn Maddy I know some bikers buddies that could go for you right now. You look great!"

"Henry, now stop teasing your daughter, she looks lovely."

"Jennifer, I'm serious, she's beautiful. She'll have the pick of any man she wants." Dad said.

"I know and we'll have to keep them away until she's ready for that and men." Mom said as Stella came inside saying, "Men! What men? Okay Maddy where's the man?"

"Oh…. The old Maddy had one called Marlin the Moose." I said bitchily seeing the look on Stella and dad's faces I knew what mom said was possibly true yet there was no proof except for the used Latex Rubber in the trash. Maddy was cheating, well now I was Maddy, I won't cheat and I'll be faithful to my husband. Oh shit, did I just think husband? Well maybe there will be one in my new life? I have my daughters to think of. Bull, we have more than enough money for several lifetimes; I don't think I need any man in our lives to disrupt my family or me.

"Mom we better leave, Daddy the money is in the kitchen, Stella do you want to come?" I asked with her saying, "You bet but where are you going?"

"Oh the doctor, for a boob job and an orchidectomy." I said nonchalantly and using my hands expressively with two fingers doing a scissor cut watching my dad screw up his face in pain.

"Sure I like to see pain on your face, Sis." Stella said as we both kissed our daddy goodbye and went for the babies with him saying, "Damn she's a wiseass, a cute wiseass, but you know I kind of enjoyed that kiss from them both Mom. Since no one will be here why don't you stay and we could…" Dad said softly to mom not knowing we heard what he said with mom softly and seductively saying, "Sorry lover you gave me a major headache, it's called Maddy." She then kissed dad while Stella helped Suzy into a jacket and I put Ellie into a baby carrier after I held her to me and kissed her. We both left the family room with me taking the baby bag, checking that the bottles were fresh and full along with the other essentials with my purse. I reminded Dad about the money and we were gone with him watching me very closely.

In no time we arrived at the clinic and I was taken into an office immediately to meet the doctor. I had Ellie with me while Stella and mom had Suzy in the reception area. On entering his office the Doctor I noticed, was perhaps in his early thirties, tall and lean with sparkling blue eyes and brown hair. Damnit he was handsome, I'd play with his zipper anytime, as Stella would say. Did I just say that? Hell I wasn't even on the hormones yet and my mind is thinking like a female. Oh Lord, if it does happen then I imagine its fate and my fate to be on my back taking it in, all the way in.

"Hi Madeleine, I'm Andrew Watte your doctor, please sit down and please relax. Are you sure about this procedure?"

"How much do you know?" I asked.

"Just what your father told me earlier."

"Okay, now let me add that this baby is my youngest daughter and I have another daughter with my Mother and Sister in the waiting room. My girls need a mother as theirs was killed in an accident that cremated her. I was in a female disguise and was thrown clear with her purse. We look so much alike that when the Bulls looked at my, her I.D., they thought it was me that died.

When I was picked up by my Sister at the accident scene she thought it was Maddy, when I walked through the door into my house both my parents fainted thinking I died. My own daughter thought I was Maddy and still does." I said as I picked up Ellie who was fussing.

"I see but to have all this surgery it's…"

"No, don't you understand, I assumed Maddy identity and the Bulls, the cops…Jail…oh hell I don't care about them; it's my daughters and their welfare I'm concerned about." I said as I cradled Ellie in my arms holding her to me and rocking her ever so slightly as I fed her from a bottle with my legs crossed.

"Okay Mrs. Carmody I can see we need to do something as soon as possible. We'll help as much as we can with the pain, however I do state you will be in considerable pain." Doctor Watte said coming to us from behind his desk smiling and with a bulge in his pants, a very large noticeable bulge. I handed him the envelope and said, "There's the first payment you requested in cash, as was discussed with my father, it's half your fee."

"My dear, is your father's name Henry Eight Ball Carmody?"

"Yes sir when he was a part of the brotherhood."

"I thought so, young lady you will only have the best treatment with us. Now let us take Ellie to your mother and sister; please call me Andy or Andrew and I will only call you Maddy, deal?"

"Sure Andrew and thank you." I said as we left the office he picked up the carrier and baby bag for me as I carried Ellie out to mom and Sis. When we went out into the reception area it was old home week as mom knew Andrew immediately as also an ex brother. Okay so now you know mom rode with dad, a Biker Momma, so what?

When I left I kissed the girls telling them both them I loved them then I kissed Mom and Sis while I saw Andrew speaking to the receptionist and pointed to Mom. He came back and took me by the arm taking me into a dressing room to be prepped; he saw I was shaking from fear. Whatever it was it clicked in us both as he came to me, took me into his arms and kissed me very passionately. After the kiss he said, "Maddy, I'm so sorry, I've…. never done that before. Please…"

"Andrew please, I've never been kissed like that by a man, any man but you know I liked it coming from you." I said softly with him saying, "Maddy you're enchanting, would you consider dinner with me in a few days?"

"Oh Andrew…I don't…Sure I'd love to." I said as we kissed again. What the hell was wrong with me? I never had urges to kiss men nor to date them now it seems that I'm doing both. I am a man! At least I was a man.

"Okay dear, now get undressed and then I'll see you very soon and I'll hope that I will be with you in your dreams too. The nurse will be right in to take a blood sample and your vitals now be a good girl while I talk to Jennifer and then get ready for you." Andrew said and then brushed my hot lips with his, with him leaving me wanting and waiting for more of him.

I began to think about that man as I undressed when an outgoing nurse came into the room smiling and saying, " Damn you're fast girl, I'm Cleo as in Cleopatra and yes my parents had an Egyptian thing going for them. Between us girls, what did you do to poor Andy? I've never seen him like this before. Normally women are play toys to him but you are very special. A bit of advice with Andy, tease and play with him, hook him and reel him into the landing net."

"Cleo thanks for the advice but I think it was my daughter Ellie or Suzy or both that got to him. Honest I wasn't looking for a romp in bed or a date just a boob job."

"You're kidding right, those look awfully full to me."

"Yeah full of silicone and latex." I said making the both of us giggle.

"C'mon girl we'll get those off after the blood is drawn from you." Cleo said making me very comfortable to be in her care.

When the blood was taken and the breasts removed I felt naked and a part of me was gone. I also noticed that my nipples and surrounding area were larger, itched and were more pronounced with more breast enlargement that was very noticeable, additionally noticeable than before. What the hell was going on?  Maybe I need those vitamins that I stopped taking?

Cleo then walked me to the surgical room and had me lie down on the table, starting an I V, something was added by a syringe and in no time I was asleep. When I woke up, Andrew stood next to me and kissed me.

"Gee Doc do you always give the same treatment to everyone." I said smiling yet groggy with Andy saying, "No Mrs. Carmody, just the ones I adore and that's surely you my dear. I have to hurry, my staff is already whispering about our impending romance."

"Well is it?" I asked with him saying, "Do you want it that? Are you prepared to see it through? If so, yes my sweet."

"Oh…I dunno…Oh yes, I want to see more of you but don't forget technically I am in mourning." I said sadly with him saying, "My dear, we will be discreet and I would like all of us including the children to do things together."

"Andrew, are you sure? I mean Suzy can be a handful and a demon in disguise. There are also times I'm going to drive you mad. " I said with him saying, "Yes I'm quite sure, now lift up the cover so we can see my work together."

Damn my breasts looked good, very real and large. My nipples were already erect as he held my hand is his. Next was between my legs as my testes were gone and what was left created a vagina until a real one was constructed, it looked real to me but had no depth for penetration. It seemed that I had small bandages everywhere and felt no pain, yet.

I felt a little fuller in my hips and butt finding out that some stomach fat was used to enlarge those areas. My waist was now smaller, well at least my clothes would fit now as they were loose in those areas without the padding but now I guess they wouldn't be any longer. I was also given timed released injections and immediate release, massive injections of hormones. I was very pleased and gave Andrew another kiss as he helped me get dressed and walked me slowly to where mom and Stella were waiting for me. Suzy was the first to see me and ran to me. I took her little hand into mine, as I couldn't pick her up for a few days. I turned to Andy and said, "Dear this is just one part of my life as is Ellie, my mom, daddy and Stella as you know."

"Is there any more room in there?" Andrew asked with me smiling and saying, "Oh I think there can be, why? Do you want space?"

"I think I do my dear, I want to take the family out to dinner when I take out those stitches in three days. I'll call you later at home and tomorrow, remember to change the dressing, keep everything clean and take the pills that the receptionist has waiting for you along with the supplies you need. Jennifer, Stella, I ask that you please take care of this woman and the babies for me."

"Andy I swear if I didn't know you I'd swear you're in love." Mom said smiling, making Andy and I blush.

Stella took Ellie and her accessories; I happily took Suzy by her hand and mom watched us, along with most of the staff as I kissed Andrew. Mom finally pulled me away leading us out the door as I looked at Andrew. Sis already received my pills and supplies from the nurse as she smiled deeply, almost knowingly at me looking deeply into my soul. Not a word was said when we got into the car heading home. When where the questions coming?  Not a peep, even from motor mouth Stella the girl that can speak a thousand words in a tenth of a second or was that a hundredth.

"Maddy, what in the world were you thinking?" Mom said finally breaking her silence, as my comfort level decreased from the pain I said, "Mother, I don't know in all honesty, all of a sudden I looked into his eyes and I wanted him, forever in my bed and life."

 

"Well I guess everything is so new to you yet still that's no excuse. Keep those knees together and focus. He is cute isn't he?" Mom said as she laughed making us all laugh.

I told her to stop at the storage area but to check it out first making absolutely sure we weren't followed. I decided that everything needed to leave the storage area, although I alone had the keys; I was somewhat worried that my former partners would try to access the facility if their greed got to them.

I called dad on the cell phone and had him go purchase an all frequency professional scanner at Benny's store; I wanted professional quality not Radio Shit or BearCrap amateurish garbage. Benny was a friend of the family, a biker and an electronics specialist. He really had no formal training he was just one of those people that absorbed a subject like a sponge. Benny was also the person that sold me any and all my specialized equipment that I needed to do a Job, so he was careful to the point of paranoia and kept his mouth shut.  I told dad cryptically what I, we, were about to do and he agreed, as he didn't trust either of them after meeting them a long time ago.

We finished the call when we arrived at the storage area twice we went around the area, saw no one and the hackles of my hair were down so we went cautiously to my area. Once there I checked the locks and the traps I set to tell me if anyone had tampered with anything, all was in order to my satisfaction. Mom and Stella quickly helped me to open the door and we entered. Thirty very large and heavy bags were removed and placed into the cargo area. Damn I hoped the springs and frame held out! We closed, locked, re-trapped the door and left the area. I could see mom and Stella were both nervous as we drove back to my house. Several times I had to remind mom of the speed limits and one of those times we just barely squeezed through a County Sheriff Speed Trap.

Once  ome she backed in the Suburban as I heard the tailpipe scrape the concrete as we entered the driveway and finally into the garage and safety. We also saw that dad had taken Maddy's Hogg instead of mom's car. Damn was he ever going to be pissed from Benny's razzing; that Full Dress Hogg stood out like a sore thumb with its metallic pink and purple paint job. Oh well, tough; it's a Ladies Bike and it never had a Dyke on that bike!

As the garage door closed Mom said, "When Dad comes home we'll take each of those bags out and inventory them. I'm sorry for doubting you, it was just that we heard what the News crew said." Mom said with me adding, "Mother, I might be a lot of things but I never lied to you or dad, okay maybe the truth was stretched a little." I saw her smile as we left the car bring my daughters with us into the house. Of course Suzy flew into the family room and had the television on before we had our coats off. I calmly went into the room and turned off the Big Screen television saying, " Suzy, you know that we have chores to do. Now where do your coat and shoes go? Also I would like your room straightened as it should be, young lady."

"Okay mommy, I'm sorry." Suzy said getting up off the floor, going toward her coat. I took her to me, holding her giving her a kiss on the forehead. You know in my old ways I would have screamed and yelled, now I seemed to emulate Maddy more and more in taking care of the children, showing them the love that only a mother can give them. While I hugged Suzy, Mom and Stella where at the doorway watching me, smiling. When I kissed my little daughter their smiles seemed to broaden. I never was one for complements but lately I accepted them whenever I got them. I took Suzy's tiny hand, walked with her and took the carrier that contained Ellie, taking my daughters to their rooms. Suzy started to pick her things up and I walked with Ellie into the nursery.

Taking her from the carrier to the changing table I took off her outside things and checked under her hood. Well let's just say the buzzards dropped from the skies as I changed her. I remembered in the past I used to gag as I changed her now…things have kind of taken a different course or direction.

She was already to go in minutes with even had her jammies on. I held her, fed her and sat in the rocker while I heard that mom or Stella had turned on the stereo to some soft music. Ellie smiled her smile at me, then yawned as I fed her a bottle that was in the diaper bag I found. Once it was finished and Ellie burped, she closed her eyes and went to sleep in my arms as I hummed along with the music I heard. A few more minutes and she was in her crib all tucked in for the duration until she screamed for another bottle.

Dad had return and I heard another male voice that I at once recognized as Benny our friend as I continued to walk into the kitchen. Well he's met Maddy before so I guess he'd know I thought as I entered the kitchen saying, "Hi Daddy, Hi Benny." I went to dad and kissed him and then calmly walked to the fridge.

"Holy Fu…Oh sorry… Eight Ball if I hadn't of seen it, I'd swear…."

"I told you Sparks, now you can see how we felt when we saw her. Ya know William was always a hell raiser but now…I just can't figure it out. We all saw some changes in mood and temperament these past months but now, like wow man."

Benny went back to an H/P Laptop and made some adjustments to a box that was attached to a USB port. He looked up and said, "Okay Maddy, Eight Ball, now the antenna on the roof looks like an old fashion lightning rod and the coax looks like a ground wire that goes underground and then into a wireless junction transmitter in the utility room.   

Now up here is the control unit and the laptop has all the software to control everything. This damn thing will even pick up the Fed and Military encrypted cipher channels, most of the Cell Towers and allow you to listen in so the Sheriff and local Cop Frequencies with no problem. Another feature is it's also an RF and Laser Bug Detector. Now there's also a portable unit that can be used in the car or on a Hogg, the case is actually the antenna. Read all the Read Me Files and I have some sheets that explain some of my own refinements"

While we watched Benny switched on the little gadget by the software. In not even a second voices came from the computer's speakers while showing the frequencies on a radio that was displayed onto the display screen.

"Sparks that's great, now don't gouge me on the price." Dad said.

"Damn you two are always buying my crap so I have about thirty two hundred invested. Okay two Kegs and thirty two hundred." Benny said smiling.

"I'll be right back." I said as I went to the garage and directly to the Suburban's cargo area. I found a bag with some money and took out ten thousand dollars. Five thousand went into or around my waist in the jeans. The rest was for Benny I thought, as I shut the trunk and walked back to the kitchen.

"Okay Benny it's a deal and Daddy will buy you the kegs." I said as I walked to Benny and handed him the money.

"Daddy? Damn Eight Ball…"

"Sparks don't start your shit with me, my daughter called me Daddy so what? Another thing, if you mention the colors of that scooter again to anyone I'll… "

"Ah nuthin', I just think its grand and kinda precious."

"While I have you both here, tell me about Andrew Watte and if either of you lie to me I'll twist those things off between your legs just as mine were cut off today, got it! I said as they both winced in the thought of something happening to their cajones.

"He's a nice guy used to be with the old Gray Geese from up north, came from a poor family. He does work for the brotherhood when they can't go to a Doc or they have no money. His moniker is the Surgeon and he's one hell of a doctor and doesn't really fit in with the beer swilling, headbustin' and druggie crowd. That's why Eight Ball and I sent you to him he's the best."

"Oh… so it was your idea…. I thought it was Baldy? Do you both realize what you've done to me? And what she did to me?" I said angrily.

"Ah…. Um…No." Dad said with me angrily saying, "First you lied to me! I now have a date with him in a few days and…and I've had things added and other things removed. I'm in pain from my head, to my two new tits and to my fat lovely ass. My mind is like mush; damnit I was your son and now I'm your daughter in law."

"She kissed him!" Mother added softly to the conversation.

"Do…What…When…Holy sh…" dad said with mom saying, "Henry you heard what I said…Maddy is still confused"

"Hey maybe that's a good sign, a son in law that's a brother and a Doc." Benny said with daddy saying, "You pea brained asshole, she looks like Maddy, acts like Maddy but in her mind she's still the Ferret; at least I think so." Daddy looked slightly confused scratching his beard and then between his legs absentmindedly.

"Well I told him I'd go out with him so now…I gave my word. So guess who gets to baby-sit? Mom and Stella are going to be busy and no drinking, smoking the raunchy cigars or spoiling my daughters; got it Daddy?" I said with dad saying, "Damnit Jennifer, she gets that mean streak from you. Yes dear, I understand and Uncle Sparks will be here also, right Sparks."

"Uncle…Me? Aw… I was going to the swap meet for parts for my ride and I had a babe that was kinda goin' too."

"Uh…. I don't think so ole ridin' buddy. That babe can plant her lips on that hot Thingy of yours later, you're baby-sitting with Grandpa, Uncle Sparks. Ya know I might be saving you from a dose of the Clap or Crabs. I heard a rumor there's a lot of that Bullhead Clap running around, they hit it several times with a hammer and then milk the puss and blood out, then scrape it out with razors. Damn just think of that penicillin injection of several million units, they say that needle is the size of a turkey baster and was designed for horses. Instead it's sliding into your firm ass cheeks and then there's the rubbing of the Blue Ice ointment into your pubes." Daddy said with a sadistic smile. 

"Damn that was good dear." Mother said as Benny cringed and I giggled taking my mind from all the confusion it had. It was well known that Benny was scared of any type of injection, now I think he was afraid of sex. Oh the Hairy Palms!

"Hey I learned intimidation from the best, you my love." Daddy said as he bent to kiss my mother and take her hand with her saying, "Cheer up Benny you might not get a hummer from that babe but I bet Alex gets one from Maddy." That made everyone laugh but me stopping when we heard over the scanner the special burglary Bulls talking about the heists and an abandon, stripped car where we dumped one. They also said a partial print was taken. With the description of the car it was one that Tom drove. I was close to panicking!

"Ah…. Daddy that was one of ours they found." I said scared with dad saying, "Shit if that print matches those clowns we'll have a big problem." Benny looked at dad saying, "Maybe the Enforcer can help?"

"Damn Sparks he makes the problem worse if he's involved, he'll get rid of those two chumps for good." Daddy said with me saying, "Oh no…I don't even want to hear or think about that. I've never… hell I don't even carry a gun or knife." Daddy interrupted me saying, "We know Sweetheart, but we have to face facts that they can send you away; Stella and us have our own lives too. We love those babies but they need you now."

"Okay Uncle Sparks call the Enforcer but I want a meet far away from here and someplace we aren't known." I said.

 

"We?"

"Oh did I forget you're coming too Sparks! Sweetheart, I want the access codes to that shelter and don't give me that garbage you don't know them." Daddy said raising his eyebrow.

"Shit Eight Ball…. I have…." Benny said confused with daddy saying, "I know, but I feel comfortable with you at my side for covering my ass." Daddy said smiling.

"Yeah and it's one hell of an ass that I love." Mother said squeezing dad's ass cheeks making him squirm.

"Okay Eight Ball, but you have to get me those parts…. Maybe even…"

"Parts yes…But I ain't no pimp, besides you have Margaret and her four sisters to keep you company. " Dad said deviously as I handed him all the codes at the farm and slipped my hand into his to calm his anger down.

 "Ah…Fer…I mean Maddy, you gave me too much money…" Benny said with me saying, "I know what I gave you Benny, you taught me well and I kinda owe you for everything you've done. Cover Daddy's ass well, get him the meet, please." I said as I went to Benny and kissed him on the forehead, after I did it I was shocked yet again, as Benny seemed to like it.

"Maddy you know I will, I'd better get going and thanks." Benny said as he left the room and the house very quickly with mom and dad following him out of the house. I sat down at the breakfast nook after getting a cold glass of pink grapefruit juice and my double dose of vitamins that the old Maddy started me on. I took a double dose as I forgot to take them yesterday. I swallowed them all with the juice and remembered I had more pills to take.

"Mom where are my pills from Andy?" I asked as she had just come inside after seeing Benny off with dad still outside. Mom came into the kitchen going went to the highest cabinet saying, "I wanted to make sure little hands couldn't get to them"

"Five pills?" I said as she nodded yes. I popped those into my mouth and drank the juice, washing the glass out, I said, "Mom, I have to take a bath, I'll have Stella come with me but could you listen for the pitter patter of little feet?"

"Sure but my turn is next." Mom said smiling as I kissed her going to my room, stopping and asking Stella to keep me company as I bathed.

I took off my sweater and saw the money in my jeans that I forgot was there. Quickly I pulled it out and pulled out one of the bottom drawers of what was now my dresser. That was where I found three envelopes addressed to just My Darling in Maddy's flowing script. I placed the money into that area and took out those letters and replaced the drawer.

While I finished taking the jeans, knee-highs and pumps off, I started my bath adding the bath oils and bubble bath. I came back iito my bedroom and took off my panties and sports bra when I heard Stella gasp saying, " Girl you're just one bruise from head to toe."

"I know and I feel each one of them all. I still can't get used to the boobs. Sis did the old Maddy tell you about any letters for me?" I said as I began to take off the bandages with Sis jumping in to help me. I picked up the letters and just held them absentmindedly.

"Damn they look good! I mean the whole body effect is stunning, she'd be jealous. I think you'd better get used to the boobs, you'll have them forever, Sis. No, you know she barely spoke to me for the past few months, before that we were real close. I felt as if I did something wrong to her." Stella said as we walked to the bath I drew.

 

It took me a while to fully sit down in the water allowing the water jets to work on my poor overly endowed and very sore body. I had Stella hand me the first envelope and read the contents after I had dried my hands.

Hi My Darling;

If you're reading this then I am gone forever. Darling I have many things that I need to be forgiven for.

First I never told you I was diagnosed terminally ill before Ellie was born. The disease is incurable and debilitating that I never told you about. There was no chance I would ever recover and I held it within me daily.

Secondly this letter will really make you angry when you've finished reading this; I beg for you to be in control of yourself. In my madness and depression when Ellie was born I made a decision that our children needed a mother. I looked everywhere for the ideal mother for them. Then I saw you in a new light in the way you take care of them both having both patience and love for our little darlings. The thought of you remarrying just any woman sends tinges of fear up and down my spine after what I have seen and heard. There are women out there that dislike having to step into the shoes of another woman so much that they abuse the children of a former marriage without the spouse knowing, both verbally and mentally. There are also women that detest children and hide their hatred. I couldn't and wouldn't allow it!    

Darling to be honest I was drawn to you because you never acted macho like some men at all, but your demeanour was like mine, more feminine in some respects. What I did do; I did for them. Those are our babies, how I love them both. I have always loved you from the time I met you, you were and are everything to me.

Next my thoughts were of how much we looked so much alike so little Suzy would never know I'm gone. (Hey stupid, that was the supreme complement. Cool it!)

Months ago I got you started on the vitamins, well darling those were anti-androgens and massive doses of female hormones. Since your regimen started I've seen a massive change in you, from temperament to those cute little budding breasts. (Which I tried to stop the discomfort with a salve that's in my, no your dresser.)

The final thing if you recall I've had you dress as a female many times in preparation to pay for those ghastly medical bills we had that were mostly mine. Daddy will explain things later to you.

Darling you took all my mannerisms and my voice patterns as second nature but even better we built your body to match my own. To reinforce my mannerisms and voice I had hypnosis performed to make you feel more natural and relaxed in your new role.

During those months most of your male clothing was replaced with androgynous female clothing from lingerie to sweaters and some loafers and other things.

Darling I know by now you are really PO'd but our children come first! I love you and I always will, my dear loved one, Please find a husband for yourself as our children by now have two mothers and one will be watching from afar longing to hold all of you in my arms.

I Love You!

M

What the hell? She did this? And who the hell was WE? Replacing the letter into the envelope I asked for the next letter and opened it.

My Darling;

Oh please, please forgive me for what I've done. I love you so much but I broke our marriage vows as I've had sex with a man.

It's not that you didn't satisfy me in the past or satisfy me with the oral sex now because of the problem I caused in your performance in bed; it's just I was weak and stupidly drinking each time I did it. I am writing this for your forgiveness and want you to know that if I survived after what I did to you and if you forgave me I'd become a lesbian just to be with you and the girls.

Pease don't do anything stupid to Marlin, but watch yourself around him, give him nothing of yourself or your new body. Darling please we are one and always will be I am you and you are me, forever!

L do love you and only you my darling

M

Sonofabitch see did do it with that crud but she was only human and I wasn't able to perform sexually as I did before. My anger subsided to forgiveness. I forgive her for the infidelity; we all make mistakes or allow others to make those mistakes for us. Do I ever know about that! I saw by the look in Stella's eyes that her curiosity was getting the better of her. I was thinking I should let her sweat a little more for all the cutting remarks that I had endured and then to allow her to read everything.

I put the letter I had just read into the envelope and gave it to Stella as she gave me the last letter. I opened it and pulled the paper from it seeing what appeared to be stains from either water or tears.

My Darling, My Lover and My Best Friend;

My time has come as I can no longer bear the pain and the suffering is greater that I can no longer hide or control it. The meds from the doctors don't work and the meds from the street make me sicker.

I have said it once and now I say it again; I am you and you will be me and by now you are. I know I should have told you everything and I do know I took you back to your evil ways and all I can say for myself is that it was with love that I did everything I did.

I tried to be the ideal wife, friend, lover and mother you wanted; now my dear you will have to do the same for some man and me. Please place everything below the girls needs as they come first, next is your man's needs as his wife and lover but remember you also have to be his best friend.

I know you are confused but when the time comes you'll get to know in bits and pieces from Momma and Daddy. That really didn't make much sense but you'll find out later.

I really do love you and always will. I want you to be all the Madeleine I ever was My Darling Lover and now the Mother of our Girls. Love them both always and I ask that you never forget me. I ask also that Ellie and Susan never be told of what we did by anyone. Please take them somewhere that is peaceful, like a church or the forest and remember those loving times we both had together. That is one promise I know you will keep for me as a Last Wish.

Good-bye My Lover

M

My tears flowed as I read the last letter giving it to Stella without the envelope and unfolded. She committed suicide because she was dying, she wanted to die with dignity but I'm afraid she took Arne as an innocent. I cried into my hands as I held them to my face until I could cry no more.

"The old Maddy loved you very much Sis." Stella said tearfully as I began to recover from my sadness saying, "Stella, how could anyone do the things she did for the sake of love? I mean I now have to be her until I die, the hormones, hypnosis and least we forget the crossdressing."

"It does sound strange but she was concerned about you doing more of what you did and used to do. You know, we all spoke about this before while you were at work at the Fireside Lounge, we saw that it would only be a matter of time before you got caught if you returned to the ways of the Cat. You know the law of averages better then all of us, then what? Prison and what about Ellie and Susan? If you went to the Prison, Daddy said you'd be either dead or someone's cellie wife. I think the old Maddy saw this and what she did was a way to make sure you stayed honest and with those last jobs you did the girls are set for life and the insurance pays off to those people. Damn I bet they'll all rip those companies off."

"I guess but she committed suicide…"

"She was in more pain than anyone could or would deal with. You're bruised and cut from the surgery Sis, but you'll recover, she wouldn't. By the way your boobs are perfect damn I wish mine were."

"You're right I guess, as for the boobs, I'll have Andy take care of them for you." I said devilishly with her saying, "Speaking of the good doctor; I swear you wanted him on the spot, did you?"

"I always thought of myself as being straight, it was always strictly women in my bed with never a thought about men, but with Andy I wanted him right then and now. Damn he's a hunk and he wants me and loves the kids." I said smiling, yet confused in my mind perhaps from the painkillers.

"H-o-r-m-o-n-e-s and that spells hormones and add the added changes, but he does do real nice work so maybe I will see him in a few years or when you marry him." Stella said laughing as I hit her in the face with a wet washcloth, she screamed so loud mom came running with her laughing.

"My word girls, what are you two doing?" Mom asked when she saw the letters.  I explained what I did to Stella and where I found the letters. I told mom to take them, read them and burn them all. I also reminded her about the Suburban and to tell daddy to empty it as she left the bathroom with those letters.

In the back of my conscious mind I mourned Maddy, in my heart and mind I was pleased that Maddy had took matters into her own hands.  She had vast amounts of courage and she did give me her life to share; a greater portion of her young life for our daughters. I wasn't a failure as a male entirely with the proof being my girls yet now I was determined to be a success being the ideal role model as a woman, widow, a mother and possibly later a wife.

 

Stella helped me from my bath, checking me over making sure that I was still stitched and glued with no blood being evident. I told her what I was thinking as I was getting dried off. She agreed with me, as she helped me into a sheer black bra, sheer black panties and a very sheer and lacy black matching waltz length nightgown.

Some people say only twins can communicate by thoughts what a bunch of crap because I say siblings can do the same. Stella saw a strange look in my eyes as I looked into the mirror and saw myself. She knew what I was about to do, not saying anything.

I placed my feet into my black satin, wedged heeled, caribou trimmed mules with her brushing out my hair, and braided it, adding a black satin bow at the end. I added a bit of lipstick, checked myself again as left the room to the kitchen as she giggled, on entering I said, "Hi Daddy, hi Momma, did you read those letters and destroy them as I asked?" I said striking a seductive pose as daddy dropped a wad of money onto the floor along with his jaw. Damn he has a big mouth! I saw every tooth, partial and filling he had in there.

"Go get a robe on, both you girls know better than to tease your father, now get!" Mom yelled and pushed me to my room slamming the door behind me.

On entering the bedroom Stella said, "I heard momma all the way back here so you must have succeeded in shocking daddy." Stella said as we both laughed. I told her what he was doing and what I managed to accomplish doing to him, which made her and I giggle together. When she hugged me I saw star constellations, feeling massive amounts of bladder pressure and then I ran to the commode. I had to urinate so badly all of a sudden, I raised the seat pulled down my panties; I was mystified why there was nothing there to hold at first. I almost screamed until I remembered what Andy did. Lowering the seat, turning and raising the back of the nightgown, I sat and finally was rewarded feeling the pressure leaving my body; I chastised myself for not remembering what was important. Stella was in the doorway laughing at me saying, "Hey Sis, girls sit and boys stand, you are definitely a girl, stupid."

Oh well, I guess I deserved her comments after what I did to dad so I kept quiet and wiped. At least I did everything else right and managed to put on a black satin robe afterward.

"You know I love having an older sister at least I know what happened before to our friendship. I loved her as much as I love you." Stella said.

"I know, I miss her too but now I have to respect her wishes and I understand a little more why she did it, I don't condone her actions but I do have to respect her last wishes." I said as we took each other's hands and walked to the kitchen.

"Well that's better." Mom said, as she looked me over.

   

I had more juice and a meal of pills as daddy kept counting the money. Momma and I were speaking with momma saying she and I were going to go the hair salon the next day as I had a standing appointment for nails and hair.

As we spoke the telephone rang, which startled me at first but mom answered it. My thoughts it was a bill collector until I remembered the bills were caught up and current or paid off much to my relief. Mom brought the telephone to me smiling and saying it was Andrew Watte.

"Hello Andy," I said as he asked how I was feeling speaking the truth I said, "Sore, those pain pills are a placebo, I've had two and nothing."

"Okay, I get the hint, I'll be right over. I can't stand anyone in pain." Andy said with me saying, "Andy you don't have to do that, please don't, I can take two or three."

"Are you sure?" He asked with me saying seductively, "Sure and I do love your work and possibly you too."  Stella, Momma and Daddy's eyebrows hit the roof with dad dropping money again to the floor as we said goodbye.. 

"That was the Surgeon you were flirting with?" Daddy asked as I smiled and looked at him saying, "Why yes Daddy, I was not flirting and he said hello to all of you."

"Okay but you were still flirting, let's watch that huh. How much did you and she count out before at the farm?" Daddy asked.

"About two million I think and probably three to six million in Jewels and furs." I said.

"Dear girl, I think we'd better send you back to school and re learn to count. I counted five point five million. I appraised the jewels and gold at over six million. I'll get the furs later but I'm at a loss for words. How many did you do?"

"If I recall ten and the average would be about one point five per if you counted right, not counting the furs and art. Damn I loved that egg." I said with daddy saying, "Egg? What egg? Anyway that was one hell of a haul."

"I pulled a Faberge Egg that was commissioned by some czar from a hidden vault as big as the master bedroom maybe forty or fifty by forty or fifty feet; one hundred and sixty or two hundred square feet with a ten or twelve foot high ceiling, thick reinforced walls and a old Diebold bank vault door on ball bearings; no hydraulics or electrics. 

It's funny, that vault was where I lost so much time because of the cash, piles of it with gold, jewels and furs. Damnit I remember now, that's the house where all the drugs were, Kilos of the Shit, from China White, Mexican Mud to Weed in another sub vault area. I remember I filled up the large car trunk, a backseat, the passenger seat to the headliner and all the floors in a very large older Mercedes with the loot from that vault. Poor Jake even had bags under his legs as he drove it."

"Do you remember a name or the address?" Daddy asking with me looking at strangely and then saying, "Jeringa, I think."

"Oh crap, tomorrow this house goes up for sale and your moving with the kids. That house belongs to the Syringe; he's the drug supplier for the area along with his brother. In a way it's kinda funny, I bet he's pissed."

I was in a panic; Jose and Luis Jeringa were animals or so I had heard; their money was made from those that suffered from a sickness called drug addiction. Jose was not the type to easily forget this intrusion or what I did. I went from the kitchen to my bedroom and lay onto the bed and cried. I thought about everything as my head spun in circles until Stella came into my room saying, "Dad wants you to come back into the kitchen." She said.

"No Sis, call mom and dad in here, Now!" I yelled scaring Stella half to death and running.

I was angry and very close to losing my sanity, possibly even murder. Damn I can't do that, she's already dead and the other person has too much muscle and guns, I thought just as everyone came into the bedroom.

"Okay you three find a place and park your butts, shut the door first. I don't want to scare the babies when I yell. We'll do as you say Daddy, on my terms. Now have any of you read those letters?" I asked in full control of myself. I saw his face blanch, he had read it, there's one conspirator, I thought. Then did the same thing as I looked at mom, damn two conspirators. Lastly was Stella who almost passed out when I yelled saying,

"So you all knew and agreed with Maddy, now this crap with the dealer. She probably was the one that…Oh Shit! She didn't! She wouldn't have done that! Would she? Suicide? The Jobs? Possibly revenge? That's what I thought, I read into them in depth." Mom looked at me softly saying, "Sweetie, I think she did, she was in tremendous pain this last week or so. Even the pain medications weren't working anymore, she was suffering and we couldn't do anything to help her." Dad then spoke calmly saying, "Look your mother and I were the ones that suggested everything to her while we helped her case all those jobs for you to do. That night was your retirement heist and you're out of that business for good.

 

Jake and Tom are gone too thanks to the Enforcer, when you called Maddy first she called us to prepare the Enforcer from the washroom after getting violently sick. She was going to stay at home but then she didn't, as Arnold was the last one pf the pieces and the plan was committed into action. I assume she rigged the door where you sat and caused the rollover.

When I stopped at the mortuary I spoke to Jasper and he took me to see the remains. They were both cremated but Maddy was almost all gone, Arne had a severe skull fracture, as everyone said. I saw the van it was melted in some areas that said high heat so I really think the old girl had an incendiary device somewhere, I think she was alive after the rollover but Arne was dead already and activated the incendiary after not seeing you in the van."

"Damn all that art and now possibly murders, drug money; now the Bulls will want it if they get into that shelter." I said with daddy emphatically saying, "Shit No! Murders? Naw, those two knuckleheads were taken for a ride. It just so happened that the Feds wanted them for some funny money making charge; someone found out and dropped a dime on them. The judge hearing their cases is a hanger; I guess they'll be gone for at least from ten to twenty years if they survive Terra Haute. Did you know that the old Maddy has owned that property as part of her inheritance? Those clowns never knew she knew all those codes, only William and she did."

"That was hers? I thought it was in Nebraska or Idaho. All I can remember is writing the check out for the taxes and she mailed it out." I said with daddy saying, "Nope that's was hers and now yours, there's also an old missile silo on the land that was never finished and was deserted. It had been there for years it's also yours that you rent to Benny. Actually it has been Benny and some farmers paying those taxes for you, we moved all the art out to the silo with Benny guarding it. Those jobs with her help, made you and the girls very wealthy." Dad said as the doorbell rang.

While Stella answered the door we spoke and agreed for us to all move to the farm for safety. I just knew that Benny would protect us all, who knows maybe the change will do us a good.

"Hi Jen, Hi Eight Ball, I heard my patient was still in pain." Andy said as he shook dad's hand and kissed mom next. They spoke for a few minutes when Andy gave the money back to daddy that I gave him in the office. He then came to me, kissing me. Damn I wanted him no matter how much pain I had. I just can't understand why I have such strong sexual emotions along with my other problems. He checked my body over and was pleased that I was starting to heal. I was pleased to have the pain removed when I was given an injection. All I remembered was getting the injection in my butt as Daddy made crude remarks as my nightgown was raised and my panties were lowered, uncovering my nicely rounded butt. Andy sat next to me on the bed holding my hand as they spoke and I drifted off to dreamland and wow what vivid dreams I had.

The first dream I had; Maddy or I was walking in a field of wild flowers in a very short sundress that would barely cover my top or bottom assets. I held my sandals and a bouquet of flowers; suddenly there was two of her, twins. The twins kissed lovingly and with a fervor, a passion and a certain feminine skill that I recalled Maddy had in her lovemaking. Her twin had all those qualities that the first Maddy had as they both made oral love to each other. At climax one Maddy left and Andrew came and took that Maddy into his arms and slowly undressed her. They too had oral sex with each other; she was then the recipient of both anal and vaginal sex that made her moan in such delights as she reached multiple orgasmic enrapturment. I saw his love for her in his eyes and her love for him as the climaxed together. I saw their love become more substantial, more intensive and more exquisite with additional passion. They then dressed and walked hand in hand to where Ellie and Susan where at, in a clearing. He then picked them both up and held them. It was then the other Maddy came back only she was now hanging or flying above the people in the clearing, she was smiling and seemed to be very pleased at what she saw.

From what I recalled of the next dream in contrast to the first it was very disturbing. I saw my family murdered before my eyes by a man. This man had eyes the color of black ice with no other color, but his skin was tanned and his hair black as coal and very tall. He carried a very large knife in one hand and a handgun in the other hand. With knife and gun he murdered momma, daddy and Stella first. He then ripped the girls from my arms and slashed their throats as I tried to protect them. While I fought the man I saw he took delight in the fact he had killed and was hurting me now. He placed the barrel of the gun between my eyes and pulled the trigger. There was nothing then just blackness.

I awoke screaming with Daddy and Andrew running into the room as they were speaking in my kitchen, Momma was next with Stella. They all tried to comfort me as I cried from either the sadness I saw or for the fact that those were nothing but dreams. My problem was I believe that dreams are prophetic in nature and interpretation.

While I calmed, I told them of the last dream I had; I was too embarrassed to tell Daddy and Andy of the first dream. Momma and I have shared this form of prophetic dream, Extra Sensory Perception. Stella has another form that she can see events of the future in advance in a trancelike state while being awake. My dreams were infrequent but accurate and normally happened. Momma had dreams more often and I know she saved daddy's butt many times over; he was a resolute believer, Daddy knew too well or first hand never to doubt her. Daddy looked at us all saying, "Okay I want everyone to get some rest and tomorrow we'll be at the farm."

"I'll stay with all of you tonight and leave early, I have scheduled surgeries in the morning. I'll sleep in the family room. " Andy said as he took my hand with momma saying, "There's plenty of room and beds, you both or Stella can even share this one." I stared at her in disbelief sating,  "Stella the bed hog and blanket thief, not hardly. I don't think so! Andy do you snore?"

"No, well anyway I don't think I snore, why?" Andy asked with me saying, "Okay, he's staying here, now let me get back to sleep."

"Sleep? Yeah, Sure Sis." Stella snorted as she followed Mom and Daddy from the room smiling. Andy shut the door and turned down the lights. I was drifting off to sleep again as he went to the bathroom then joining me in bed.

Okay call me a slut but I cuddled up to the naked man next to me and was well received. We kissed many times, I was sore but he managed to turn that soreness to joy and a passion I had never felt as a male. I now understood why mostly all the females in the family (Mom and the Old Maddy) used to say being a woman, having sex and babies were the greatest gift to receive from the Creator. That night I pleased Andy as he pleased me. I found out what most women know; that you do anything to please the man you love. If I didn't have stitches I would have had him inside of me yet that will be soon and I will be a whole Maddy soon. Once we achieved our pinnacle of passion we slept entwined with each other. Mom later said when we were alone; that night she came into the room and saw us that we were both content and smiling. She hugged me that day and had a tear in her eye. Was that tear for joy or sorrow? It no longer mattered, as I would never return to being William.

I slept well for the rest of the night being awakened with a very soft kiss from Andy, which I lovingly returned. He was pleased that I slept well after asking me; I said it was all because he was with me. Okay, I asked him to come to the farm and stay with the kids and me. He seemed lost in thought and then said he possibly would. He had to complete the surgeries today and he would then be with me. I promised him dinner, restful and intelligent conversation and I would even share my bed with him, for that I received a kiss.

He went to take a shower and I went to Ellie's nursery. She was awake and smiling as I picked her up and held her to me while I took out a bottle from the fridge in the nursery. As it warmed, I cleaned and changed her, I then sat in the rocker with my daughter and crossed my legs to be comfortable. I knew that after she ate she'd go back to sleep for a few hours. I could then pack what we needed, go to the salon while daddy got us out of here and to the farm for safety. The bottle had warmed when I checked it and gave it to my baby girl in my arms. I smiled at her as she sucked at the nipple hungrily when Andy came into the room. I gave him the directions to the farm and my cell phone number. He promised to call me during the day. What floored me was not the kiss he gave me; it was what he said to me that he loved me, as he left for his clinic. I was completely stunned to this revelation of his, busying myself with Ellie when Mom came into the room.

"I think you knew that was going to happen eventually but not as soon as last night." Mom said with me saying, "Momma what are you babbling about?" I placed Ellie back into her crib with momma saying, "I heard Andrew, just remember your chemical balance has been changing to a girls' chemistry for the last five months or so. Now that there's no more Boys' go-go juice it will be a roller coaster ride of emotions. We heard you both last night, which was an incentive for your father to make love to me, thanks sweetie. I just hope you were careful." Mom said taking my arm as we walked to the kitchen.

"Momma, I'm so confused, the old Maddy was my only love, never had I done anything with a man; now I have the same feelings that I had with the Old Maddy. When he said those magical, mystical words of I Love You this morning I ……" I said being interrupted by mom saying, "Yep and he does love you. Andrew gave your dad back the money; he's adding it to what was paid out.  Andrew told him later while you slept he wanted to marry you, all we said was that we would think about it. Your dad and I have known Andrew since he was a teenager and joined the Geese. Benny, your father, Baldy, the Enforcer and I convinced Andrew to go back to school when we saw him and on the road trips." Mom said as she poured coffee into a mug for me as I sat and crossed my legs leaning forward with the upper half of my body.

"Momma, I'm so confused, I should be revolted in what I did last night and yet I am proud of what I did sexually to Andy." I said as I drank from my coffee mug with her saying, "So? That's how a woman feels, she's proud of being a woman both physically and sexually. She wants to please her man and for her man to please her." I sat and thought sipping my coffee about what she had said.

"Oh your father said you are to go nowhere without an escort with you and the babies. Make sure you have your cell phone charged and on at all times. Benny and some of our friends tidied up the house, the buildings and the grounds. Benny also said he has some surprises for you and he wanted to make sure his nieces were safe." Mom said smiling with me saying, "Mom did you guys drop Benny on his head or beat him too much in the initiation? I know; it was the dominatrix you hired for his birthday a few years ago that did it."

"No we did not! And how did you find out about the Dommi Mommi, Oh daughter of mine?" Mom asked raising her eyebrow with me saying, "Oh damnit, I was hired to break in and installed the cameras in her dungeon."

"By whom please?" Mom said with a look of death on her face with me truthfully saying, "Mom I swore I wouldn't…It was Gambler."

"Clarence and I will have words later today about that. Today I want you to be dressed up in mourning attire just as I will be. Your father said not to worry about packing because Clarence is sending his moving vans and people to move everything out of this house into the farmhouse. This house was rented out to Mabel and Arthur last night, when your things are out they'll be in and cover your trail a little more." Mom said with me worriedly saying, "Mom, Mabel is one tough lady but these are dopers they could try anything." I said.

"I know and they know it. She'll be ready and will have a lot of help around. They want the Syringe to come and pay a visit and maybe play with them a little. Now take your coffee mug and let's go find your clothes for the day and something nice for Andrew to see you in."

Entering into my bedroom we both made the bed laughing and joking the entire time. It was a warm feeling that we shared as we started to become closer and our relationship less strained. We went to the closets when I saw that everything that was Williams was entirely gone and Maddy's clothes taking it over. If this was the case with the closets I knew the dressers were loaded also with who knows what in feminine finery. Eventually mom and I agreed on a black double-breasted jacket and skirt, the perfect skirt suit she said. The skirt was short but tolerable and the jacket was tapered in at the waist and long past the butt forming a little ruffled skirt, it was worn only with a camisole, corset or bustier underneath it. Okay I could change at the salon into this outfit, mom agreed and went to get the necessary items of lingerie and shoes.

"Mom, I never really paid attention to what the old Maddy had in clothes but I'll tell you this, it has really grown, I mean look, two huge walk-in closets, a wardrobe, armoire, a ten-drawer ladies dresser and two very large, five shelf, four drawer dressers, with two more chests that stand almost seven feet high not to mention the two bedside tables and an over filled vanity. I also recall that all the out of season clothes are stored downstairs." I said with mom saying, "Okay, so she was always dressed stylishly and that's how you'll dress also. She and I picked it all out and hid them from you but daddy bought everything. I added it while you slept after the accident." Mom said, as I wanted to again cry as I missed her so very much.

Next we found a black full-length satin and lace evening gown with full skirt that was strapless and nearly backless. There was also a Bolero jacket beaded and embroidered with iridescent blue threads forming a cascade pattern from the shoulders to the breast darts. Mom found a pair of 4-inch, high-heeled, pumps made of the same satin with an iridescent blue bow at the toe of the shoe and a satin shoulder wrap if I didn't want the jacket. I agreed to it for the evening while mom again pulled out the lingerie. Hmmm…black and blue to match my body, what a fashion statement!

After I washed up, we redid my hair into a ponytail and bangs then adding my makeup. Quickly I dressed into a black and red tracksuit, red cap sleeve blouse with white panties and a bra with white sneaks, everything else would be packed into a bag.

I added jeans and a oversized long sleeved chambray shirt along with extra white sneaks, socks, panties and bras, and makeup as a just in case everything was not unpacked at our new house. We found several large nylon bags and stuffed them both full taking them out to the Suburban in the garage.

We next packed bags for the babies and got them both ready for the day.  While Ellie had a bottle of juice, I watched Suzy eat and mom took their bags out to the suburban. I know by my descriptions that it sounds like The Old Maddy and I over spent; I can assure you we didn't as our vehicles are between five and ten years old, both her and my Hogg were basket cases, the electronics we had were all rebuilt or remanufactured. Daddy is a great mechanic, I learned much from Benny and without trying I learned from the Old Maddy, Mother and Stella.

I changed my purse to an oversized shoulder bag; I took out that dresser drawer where my stash was and placed the money that was there into my purse. I was going to miss this house but who knows the farm might be better for all of us after all. I was still miffed at the old Maddy for not telling me everything but…. I don't know maybe it was her old memories of her family. They were all killed in a plane crash going to a family reunion seeing folks they or some never knew; mother, father, grandparents, aunts, uncles and the cousins all dead at one time and now she has joined them all.

Mom and I took the babies to the Suburban after we woke up Stella, as she would be staying making sure everything was done and finished correctly. She was also going to the new house and make sure that everything was once again done correctly. I left three thousand dollars with her as a just in case. I bet silently she'd give every penny back or a receipt to account for what she spent the money on. She was told by me to give the workers a good gratuity for their work.

After we had the babies settled in the Suburban we got in it, Mom drove and I was the passenger again. I didn't mind being the passenger as mom was a good driver, it's just I missed driving.  Leaving the house I began to think of things like how we met.

I caught a great deal of shit in Grammar and High School being short and from what people said, cute, not boy cute but girl cute. I studied the Martial Arts because of my short, feminine like stature to protect myself after one of my juvenile felony arrests. It was because of a teacher that tried to sexually assault me. That pedophile bastard lied in juvenile court to cover his own ass because I stabbed him in the arm with a pair of scissors as he fondled me; I wanted to kill the creep. It was an assault with an intent to kill charge that I admitted to the judge. That was a six-month tour in juvenile reform school and probation for two years; it was then I began to learn my profession of burglary.

The next time was in High School, as a freshman I had the same problem but a different teacher and I kicked the Bulls asses as an added bonus; only this time they sent me up for two years. Damn that was two juvenile felonies for self-defense against sexual predators, neither judge wanted to listen to me, court appointed attorneys are crap and they don't care. Well I learned my burglary, jewelry, fur and art skills on a daily basis in the library and played the obligatory game of social reform. I was finally released to the probation department and informed that when I became an adult my juvey record would be there to haunt me if I was ever arrested again. We tried to get the records sealed but the court ruled against me.           

Okay so what did I do? I went nuts and went on a burglary spree for six months; I drove the Bulls and alarm companies crazy as I hit mostly the upper middle class homes and sometimes a warehouse or two or three a day. Or was that night? I always had a bankroll of money because of the heists but I was careful and not let it be known because of the cop's snitches. I also had to be careful that my parents never found out although there was always that feeling they knew what I was doing. I also had a job while in school so when I bought a new car, a Saturn, no one thought anything of it. So I was cheap, at least I didn't draw attention to myself.

Now Maddy hung around the kids that were popular as I was an outcast basically, some even called me a fag and jail brat. It was in the spring when I saw her come into a shot and beer joynt where my Fence was located. The weather was very warm, she had worn a dress that would make men's blood boil in the lust they had seeing her. The bartender was pawing her and at her when I got up, telling the Fence I'd see him later. I walked over to them and I kicked the bartender several times in the shins, grabbed her hand, pulling her with me, running like hell down the street. We didn't stop running until we were several blocks away near an old mom and pop store. I went inside and bought two sodas for us.

We found a doorway stoop where we sat, drank our sodas and talked. That's how I found out she was orphaned and lived with an abusive foster family. She was up for emancipation but she had to find a job. I took her to my dad after we finished the soda; he had many connections through the Brotherhood. That night Maddy had a job at a scooter shop with a descent check so she could live, work, and go to school without giving out sexual favors. Mom was the one to suggest she live with us; dad liked the idea and so did I. Well, she was emancipated and moved in with Stella into her room and they were close even after we married. Me, I hated school and was branded as a social outcast, yet Maddy always stood up for me to make things bearable. Maddy was tactful while I was always the one who was brash to tell someone to shove it and turn it sideways, in later years she showed me the error of my ways.

 

Did I still burgle? I sure did and I was good but the Bulls started to watch me so I cut down, yet they could never figure out a MO (Modus Operandi). That was when Maddy thought of disguises for me and we became closer. One problem we encountered was that due to my body and shape, no he-man disguises were ever used, come to think of it, mostly all the disguises were female and girl costumes from a schoolgirl with her mommy (Yep, that was Maddy!) to a young pregnant woman. My back still hurts from that empathy belly!

We had just pulled into the salon's parking lot and parked. I went to the back door of the Suburban taking Ellie, the carrier, the diaper bag and my purse while mom took Susan. Inside at the desk I checked us in for our appointments. My darling little angels were the hit of the day while every woman made a fuss with them both. After five hours of the works of being pampered with a cut of six inches less of my hair, a soft body perm, a darker red with highlights, a pedicure and manicure with nail extensions and a complete waxing (Oh more pain!), a message and makeover (Oh Heavenly!) We looked and felt grand. Going back to the Suburban I retrieved my bag and the one mom pointed out earlier for herself; we went in back to a dressing room and changed while the receptionist gladly watched the girls.

Mom took our bags and laid out our clothes, I was pleased that I was not going to be alone in my quest for feminine curves. At first I was pissed when I saw a black satin and lace corset but then I saw there was another one for mom I was ecstatic that I was not the only one going to suffer. Damn she could pull those laces in tight with my breasts laying in those cups ever so proudly; I now had a figure that men would fight over and women to kill and diet for. I knew immediately what Maddy had always felt as she dressed in female finery. I was on sensory overload as I drew those black sheer stockings up my legs and attached them to the garters of the corset. Damn my legs looked good!

We helped each other with our black silk lined skirts with mine about six inches above the knee and then the billowing shirt like jacket with its tapered waist and slightly padded shoulders. The shoes were three-inch, spiked heels in black leather to match my purse. I added a set of gold and onyx pendant earrings, a gold and onyx choker with a matching bracelet and two gold rings to my left hand with a delicate gold wristwatch.

Mom had on almost the same style of clothes and added to the both of us perfume and a very fine onyx and gold anklets to our right ankles. As we stood before the mirror I looked like the old Maddy even more from my feet to my coiffed head with my hair up in a chignon. Mom looked twenty years younger and stunningly beautiful I saw why daddy married her. We smiled at each other and put our clothes we wore into the bags.

The women in the salon did a double take on us as we walked to get my children. It was then they realized I was now a grieving widow and mom a grieving mother. They all came to us and gave their condolences as I was about to cry. Suzy and I looked good and so did mom but…Damnit I missed her! We collected our things and the babies after I paid, tipped heavily, rescheduling us for the next week and ran almost with the children to the Suburban. I had a hell of a time getting into the vehicle after getting the children in, knowing that I flashed some man walking his dog; that made his day. I fidgeted with the shortness of the skirt all the way to the farm.

This was the first time I actually saw the farm in daylight, it was immense with paved roads, high rail fences and wrought iron gates, at least ten stone buildings, a hothouse for plants, besides the huge barns. The old house was three stories tall built similarly to the old southern antebellum plantation styles but made of red colored brick and stone with large darkened windows, doors and balconies along with a very large attached garage. It spelled money, which I knew we didn't have and never had. I was at a loss for words to its very opulence.

At the garages I got out just barely, closed the car door, walked to the access control and punched in the primary access code with all the doors opening at once. The garage had six Harley full dress Hoggs in one stall, the next it had an old silver colored, Jaguar, XKE coupe with a V-12 and a Lotus Europa the other seven stalls were empty. Mom pulled the Suburban into the stall closest to the house and we unloaded it as Stella came out to greet us.

"Damn, you two look great! I get to go too next time. The old house is empty and everything is here and unpacked. Daddy called and will be here soon with Benny." Stella said as we all took the children and our bags inside with her making a fuss with Suzy.

I was really perplexed as we walked into the kitchen side door. The kitchen had all modern appliances in stainless steel of almost a commercial or restaurant grade, dumb waiter and was vast. Stella had already been through the house and took us up the winding staircase to the nursery and Susan's room. Suzy loved how large her room was and was in heaven that she had her own bath and television. Poor Ellie was asleep as I put her to bed in the nursery and kissed her. Next was my room, which was next to the nursery.

On entering it my eyes went wide seeing an immense sized canopied bed, a sitting area with French doors that led out to the balcony, dressing area, a walk-in closet as large as our old bedroom and then the bath that was also as large and all very modern. As her voice trembled and we went back to the bedroom mom said, "It was a surprise that the old Maddy was going to give your family on your wedding anniversary. Jake and Tom were like the caretakers but Benny and many of the Brothers restored and modernized the place for her." I sat onto the edge of the bed saying, "I'm at a loss for words mom, this place must have meant something special to her. I guess it was a piece of her old life with her family during the good times.

"What you've seen is nothing yet, Daddy said for me to take you into the cellar rec room, so c'mon Sis." Stella said as she pulled me while mom said she'd watch the babies for me.

Stella took me to the main floor; we entered another stairwell from the den that was hidden behind a bookcase that slid open silently. The stairway was modern and not steep, easily traversable by a woman wearing high heels and a short skirt, which I gave thanks for someone's consideration. The cellar if you want to call it that was lit up with what appeared to be track or low voltage lighting, it had a bar and pool table, at the wall there was a hidden electronic keypad; that Stella showed me located by what I thought was an outside wall.

"Daddy said to use the main access code and stand back Sis." Stella said standing back as I entered the codes. Silently the wall opened outward toward us showing what looked like a bank day gate and beyond that a bank vault door that shone a silvery color from the lights that were hidden. There was another keypad at the gate that I entered the codes again when I heard a faint click and the door slid open allowing us entry. I looked over the vault door seeing it was indeed a bank vault door made by the Mosler Safe and Vault Company. It was slightly modified having a three-tiered electronic locking system with an electronic time lock, which meant that there were three locks to open, once the time lock was open. If one lock combination was wrong the time lock would or could re engage for twenty-four or even forty-eight hours depending on what it was set at.

At each keypad I entered the master code seeing lights turn from red to green and the hand wheel spin to open the eight very, very large bolts, meaning that the door was about to open. Stepping back the circular door turned slightly, the door opened slowly and quietly, suggesting a hydraulic system that was hidden. Once opened the doorplate lowered to form a walkway or bridge.

My heart was pounding very hard when Stella took my hand and we entered together. Inside the huge area there were large safety deposit boxes and the sacks I used that were now empty. Along one wall were all the furs that were in the storage area and of course all of the artworks.

"Daddy said to open box one, then box three and lastly box five the same way." Stella said softly.

Box one was a small box near the vault opening; entering the master code it opened. In it was a large thick business sized envelope with a letter envelope attached that simply said to read first in Maddy's script 

My Darling

This envelope contains the Birth Certificates, Shot Records, Social Security Cards, your Passport, and Marriage Certificate.

Momma and Daddy helped to save this land and all that was on it, which are all yours and the children's after you Pass On to join me. I ask it remain in the family forever. The Titles and Deeds are also here with everything free and clear. Daddy has promised to explain everything to you.

Now there are also Titles to the Full Dress Hoggs, which were once Basket Cases that were rebuilt by Benny and many others along with the Title for the Jag and Lotus. Daddy rebuilt the Jag and Lotus, as they were my mother's cars. Everything was going to be an anniversary present for us from them.

Daddy said the Jag and Lotus are both women's car so I want you to enjoy then and baby them. Please think of me when you do.

Per my last request I ask that you allow Momma, Daddy and Stella to live in the house with you and the girls on the second floor in the other wing, I want them to love and enjoy this house as I once did. I ask that they share the house and turn it into a warm loving home it once was. If you should marry, your husband should love our parents as we do.

I love you and always will

M.

I took the letter placing it inside my jacket and left the main envelope in the box for safekeeping and closed the box.

Opening the next box in the same manner, which was gigantic, I saw the money that we counted out all neatly stacked into piles and wrapped according to denominations with a tally slip on the top. The final tally was over five point five million dollars in cash. I put the slip back and closed the box smiling and thinking that at least the children wouldn't have to worry about money ever again.

In the last box, it contained the Faberge Egg and a pair of cotton gloves. I slipped on the gloves, opening the decorated platinum, gold, silver and gem-encrusted egg. Inside was the most magnificent royal carriage that was detailed in gold, diamonds and platinum sitting on a pillow of white silk. I heard Stella inwardly gasp as she saw the egg and its contents. The workmanship was beyond belief as we both stared at the filigree detailed artwork.

"Pretty isn't it?" Daddy said as he and Benny came into the vault. I turned toward them saying breathlessly, "It's ……so pretty. It should be shared with everyone in the world and not just one person or family."

"We know and I agree that's why I called a contact in the state department that has a contact at the Russian Embassy. The egg disappeared in the early 1900's; the museum staff has been searching for it for decades to get it returned to the Rodina, The Motherland. They have offered a reward for its return that has grown to over twenty million dollars due to all the interest involved in the money account to get it back." Daddy said with me worriedly saying, "But then the person that had it would find out who did the heist and…"

"Nope, the Russians just want the egg returned and the money would be in cash at the site we choose. No IRS even and no Bulls, its all-free and clear money in old bills. Those people have promised that all the eggs would be displayed prominently for the world to see their beauty." Benny said smiling.

"Okay, Daddy, Uncle Benny how do you feel about this?" I said as I closed the egg and took off the gloves with Benny saying, "Uncle? Okay, I think it should go back to them and the world to see it. It's like the Mona Lisa being stolen at the Louvre Museum in Paris and returned. France has custody of the work but it belongs to the world to see and enjoy." Benny said.

"Why Sparks, I do believe you are getting civilized in the arts; now if we can get you to take a bath everyday instead of twice a year that would be cause for a celebration." Daddy said with a twinkle in his eyes and Stella chaffing him saying, "Yeah Uncle Benny, at least you've left your pets outside for a change."

"Naw, Terror is in the Silo, she's got work to do guarding it." Benny said oblivious to the jokes.

"Jeez, you are so very smart but oh so dumb! Uncle Benny, Daddy meant the flies that circle you from the stench." I said as I walked to him and kissed him on the cheek making him blush.

"Maddy, we'll pack it later and get the egg home safely. The Enforcer said he'd do it and I trust him. Also we went through all the other art and found out most of it was also ripped off and the museums what the art back as soon as possible with sizeable finders fees. I hate to say it but some of those Nouveau riche are bigger thieves then what you are. Many are asking that we become investigators and recovery specialists they promised the utmost discretion. You have a skill that they need and will pay as high as thirty percent of the value of the work." Daddy said.

"Yeah, with a load of buckshot and dog's teeth in my butt. We'll talk later about that." I said as I closed the box and went to seal the vault with everyone following. In minutes all was sealed and shutdown with us all going upstairs and doing the same to the library bookcase.     

We walked to the kitchen slowly with momma happily humming as she made luncheon meat platters with fresh coffee and tea. Walking into the kitchen and sitting down at the table I crossed my nylon-encased legs and handed the letter to daddy.

As he read the letter and then handing it to Mom and then Benny, then Stella, I saw their eyes tear with Daddy saying, "Okay so she came to me about six months after she moved into our house. She had a legal paper from the county that this land was going to be seized and sold for back taxes. Maddy there's like ten thousand acres here and the neighboring farms have worked it all. When the family was killed in that plane crash many of those cretins took advantage of her and didn't pay any of the land rentals or crop percentages for years, they pocketed the profits while she feel into poverty. At least the land and property was held in a trust and they couldn't outright steal it but I think someone tried very hard to do so. We found copies of the hidden ledgers that were kept in the Bomb Shelter. We found out who was renting what and for how much with also the past profits they had made from the crop yields. After some Commodity Brokers that the Enforcer knew did some research, we made some visits with the Sheriff's people and got every penny they stole over the years. We paid the back taxes off and had enough to start putting the buildings and grounds back together with the help of all of our friends. To this day I can't for the life of me figure out where they got most of this stuff at, but then sometimes you don't want to know either considering some of their pasts." Daddy said.  

"Dear I saw many of them make things that you couldn't buy anywhere. The chandeliers are all hand made; they even blew the glass for them in one of the shop buildings. Many of those men and women where and are artisans and skilled craftspeople with their rides as a diversion from their lives. We had architects, contractors, masons, electricians, plumbers, doctors, lawyers, CPA's and many other people that did all this work; they all worked just for food, lodging and a great deal of booze that flowed like a river. Not one person asked for money on this project not even for the materials they used." Momma said as she came to me and held my shoulder.

"Do you recall the B and E you did about four years ago in New York State for a painting that was in a secured viewing room vault. Well, a sister biker owned that painting that married a rich jerk that said he owned the artwork.

He refused to give it back after their divorce even though it was passed onto her for generations. That woman in the painting was a five time-removed grandmother; it was her blood and it belonged to her family history. It was worth a fortune due to the artist that painted it. You recovered that painting for her and she helped to restore this home, she never forgot what you did for her but she never knew it was you. The deal was to help a brother or sister that needed help." Benny said.

"Was that the one the women servants had to dress as French maids? There wasn't a man in the house but the pervert that owned it." Momma asked.

"Yeah that was the one and the old Maddy dressed our girl Maddy here in a uniform that they wore, that the divorcee supplied. I saw those pictures Maddy took, Damn she looked cute in it!" Benny said laughing.

"Oh yeah, that was were I got the bruise on my ass where he pinched me. That place scared the hell out of me, that jerk was into every depraved sexual abhorrence you could think of, come to think of it maybe that's why I hate corsets too. Damn that thing was laced tight! All she did was laugh, clap her hands in glee and say she was happy it wasn't her wearing it." I said as we all laughed especially since I told them I had one on then.

While they all ate, I had coffee, as I wasn't hungry. I was amazed that the old Maddy had taken lessons in prosthetics, makeup design and application, when and where she found the time is beyond me. That also placed another piece into the puzzle as how she could make me look so convincing so realistic that some husbands couldn't tell me from their wives if they saw me. That was also true with the wives seeing their faux husbands if I could match them in body size. Whenever I was in a disguise whether it was male or female I felt it was Halloween and I was about to go Trick or Treating, but my favorite characters secretly were the women. I secretly loved the clothes, the studying of their bodies, their movements, habits and their musical voices. I have to admit now that I wished I was born a female and I think she knew those secrets. One thing I never did was to be in female attire around the house except to practice a part or wear her clothes, Stella or momma's clothes although I had dreamt or had thought of doing so many times.

After everyone left Momma, Stella and I cleaned up but not before I was put into an apron to keep my suit clean. While working I felt Daddy and Benny's eyes on me as I moved about the kitchen, I saw the pride in Momma and Stella's faces as I worked with them.

Time was getting short and I began to prepare the evening meal, as I promised Andy a dinner when my cell phone rang and Daddy brought it to me from my purse. Looking at the Caller ID I saw it was Andy calling me as my heart raced.

"Hi Love, I'm just starting the meal." I said as I answered the call.

"Don't bother fixing anything, I'm bringing the food with me for everyone. Are you alone?"

"Nope but I can be, Why?" That's okay if it's family?"

"That's all there is, so what's with all the secrecy?"

"Well, I've been thinking all day about you and I know Eight Ball told you what I asked him."

"Yeessss… go on." I said softly and seductively.

"Well, will you?"

"Will I what?"

"Marry me? I know I'm not much and it is sudden but I can't stand to be away from you." Andy said excitedly.

"Dear, we'll talk later about that, right now before I say yes, I want you here." I said, we spoke briefly after that and disconnected, as he would be here soon.

"Well he's bringing dinner but I still need to be dressed, the children need to be fed and ready for bed. There was a mountain of work yet to be done not to say anything about my pain returning. I was also anxious to look further around the house and grounds yet Momma and Daddy had those smiles on their faces that more or less gave me their approvals in a man, like I saw them give Stella so many times when she was dating a new man.

Walking to the kitchen table I placed my phone back into my purse, slinging it over my shoulder, walked from the kitchen to the foyer and up that long winding staircase, down the hallway, into the nursery and Suzy's room.

Ellie was still sleeping and of course Suzy was transfixed with the large screen television in her room watching a children's show.

"Did you eat baby?" I asked Suzy with her nodding her head smiling to me and then coming to me hugging my legs as I stroked her pretty hair lovingly. I bent my knees and went down to her level and kissed her on the forehead.

"Mommy is this our new house?" She asked with me saying, "Yep and everything in it with Grandma, Grandpa and Aunty Stella living here too. Ya know maybe if Grandma will watch Ellie tomorrow you and I will take a walk and see what's here."

"Mommy, are there any ponies here? I want to see one, please."

"Sure there are angel and we'll all go together. They'll be here tomorrow, I called the Farmer and he's getting them." Daddy said from the doorway as I gave him a very strange look of disbelief saying, "
