Code Breaker

The Ending

  Two years later ****

     "Cline Security! How can I help you?" I answer my office phone.

  "How is my favorite computer nerd?"

  I laughed at him. "I'm fine, General! How are you?"

  "I'm good! Just wondering if I can bring by a gift for the little soldier."

   "You are always welcome, General. Drop by anytime."

  "I'll be there in about two minutes. See you soon." He hung up.

  Tanner walks up and kisses me breathless as always. "What was that for?"

  "Because it sounds like the General will be here soon. I didn't want to wait until he takes his old ass outta here."

  "I wish that you were still in the Army. I would bring you up on charges." Sanders said from the door. Tanner stood and shook his hand.

   "And you wonder why I got out! Always throwing your weight around!"

   "Just hand over the little soldier!"

  "You know that she has a name. It is not little soldier, either." I tell him laughing.

   "I know that. But it irritates your husband when I call Ry Addison, little soldier." James replied. He takes Ry from Tanner as he hands me a gift bag.

  Inside was a camouflage dress and socks with a headband to match. There was also a dress made to look like dress blues with a hat to match.

  "These are absolutely the most adorable dresses that I've ever seen! Thank you James!"

  I show them to Tanner. He smiles at them. "You are dead set on making sure Ry joins the Army! What if she wants to go into the Navy?"

  "She wouldn't dare!" We all laugh as my three month old daughter sleeps in James Sanders' arms.

  We named her Ry Addison in honor of Riker's last request.

  Tanner finished his contract then handed the reins over to Decker. The entire team still comes to the lake house once a month. My family visits a few times a year.

  We also have a house in Montana, close to Matt and Erika. Chris and Gracie divorced quickly when she found out all of the evidence against her.

  Chris and Thermo, aka Connor, are in a relationship. The boys have adjusted well. Especially since they haven't seen or talked to Gracie since a month after she left the lake house. Connor had confessed his situation to Tanner. Who in turn told him that Chris is actually bisexual. Thermo was able to get his head straightened out and allowed back on the trips. He has been out of the service for four months now.

  Erika and Matt are head over heals in love with their first granddaughter. But are already hinting around for more. Although they both know about the partial hysterectomy.

  We had waited until I was five months pregnant before telling them. I was afraid of losing the baby.

  Angie and Jeremy are married with a son. One year old Mario is a chunky hunky! At least that's what I call him. He looks like his daddy. Dark hair and eyes.

Jaden and Braden are graduating college next year. They plan on opening up an ad agency with Michelle and Tasha, their fiancées.

  I still do consultation projects with Marquez and James. But I don't go on trips. The purple heart that I received is displayed at home in our office. Along with the rest of our medals, pins, and other awards. Thankfully there is only one purple heart. I also work on developing new taps and other high tech gadgets. The pay is excellent.

  Angie told me that mother had to go to work and bitches about it every day. She and her husband are still together but sleeping around. I say they deserve each other.

  Tanner and I still practice getting pregnant every day. I will never get enough of my husband. 

  Life couldn't get any better!
