Ray
I finally retire to start my own company in earnest. Elizabeth is finally getting her way and I am going to be working for the private sector for security reasons. I know that I have staff who are ready to join me and they are Anastasia, Kate and Oliver. Anastasia has others wanting to come on board as well. A few don't want to continue with their assignments and are at the end of their enlistment period. I am glad that I saved my money and my retirement pay is good. It helped get my company running.

Oliver
I am working directly for Ray just as Anastasia is going to be doing. Kate is coming on board as well. We will have thirty employees by the middle of the year. The moment we opened for business we got three clients. The place has state of the art computers and servers and the best internet service available. Things are getting set up and ready for business. We need a few people manning the phones just in case. Mia is still getting used to running her own business and she is expanding it. We have to schedule time for each other. It is tough, but we do it.

Anastasia
My commission is up and I decided to work with dad in his company and he has Kate and Oliver on board. We need more people so I reach out to some people who wouldn't mind joining our company. People we can trust high or dry and any time and any place. Steele Security Services is open for business and we need office workers who take calls and schedule appointments.

Kate
I joined the Steele company and I am now working for them and Mia as needed for wedding ceremonies. I am enjoying being out of the military at this point. I think we all are. We don't have to go on assignment after assignment. Elliott is very happy about it as well. I will be a busy person but have time for him. He has plans for us to have babies and soon. Anastasia says he must have a bet going on with Christian and Oliver about who can get their wives pregnant first. I never thought about that.

Mia
Oliver has been wanting a baby since we married and he's been trying to convince me that getting pregnant now would be a good idea. He apparently isn't the only men in the family trying to become a father. Elliott and Christian are as well. I'm thinking they got their heads together to bet on who becomes a father first. I don't like that kind of bet and neither does Anastasia or Kate. So we are definitely not going off our birth control and watching them get all antsy about it. Wonder if they will come clean about it? I think we will need to confront them. Then again it might be fun to watch their attempts at trying to win the pregnancy race.

Anastasia
Christian can't fool me anymore after talking to Mia and Kate we have found out how competitive our men are and we think it is outrageous about them betting on getting us women pregnant first. We decided to thwart their efforts and watch them in action. It is funny how we come up with various things to complicate their plans for us.

Elliott
I can't believe I can't get Kate pregnant and I'm trying very hard to get her pregnant. I found a positive pregnancy test in our trashcan in the bathroom. I thought it was hers but it turns out to be either Anastasia or Mia's and she's not sure whose it is.

Anastasia
We figured out how to fake a positive pregnancy test and we threw it in our bathroom waste cans and let them men find it conveniently in the trash and tell them it's was either of the other two women that they are betting on getting pregnant first. We had a lot of fun with that. They will figure it out when no one gets pregnant for real.

Oliver
I thought I had won until Mia told me it wasn't her test. I had to hide the look on my face because she would know that something is up. Now to figure out who is pregnant first. It will be known soon enough.

Christian
I was hopeful that the pregnancy test was Anastasia's and found out it wasn't hers and she didn't know who it belonged to because she had a few people over and someone had to use our bathroom. So it wasn't her and she has no idea who was pregnant. I think she shouldn't allow people to take those tests in our bathrooms.

Ray
I got wind of the bet and wasn't happy about it at all. So after hearing the women's way of getting them back for it I sat back and watched it all play out and it was funny as hell what the women pulled on them to teach them a lesson. These men underestimate their wives abilities to find out what they are up to.

Elizabeth
I am laughing hysterically at the pregnancy test they left for their husbands to find in their trash in their personal bathrooms. I can imagine that scene when they thought they had won the bet and then found out they didn't win it. Ray tells me he wants to watch how this plays out. All of us have been busy me at the hospital and Ray working for new clients. And we have worked hard to get everything up and running along with keeping our clients identity hidden from the world. I have learned a lot since meeting the Steele's. Arrived to Ray has been enlightening to say the least. I look at the world with new eyes. I also know how Anastasia made her ranks and it was by hard work and very successful assignments. All were very quietly done without anyone knowing who had done the damage.
