Half Sisters Ch. 02

To those who haven't read the first chapter, you may want to read it before reading chapter two to better understand the story. This chapter concludes the story.

Chapter 2

"Caroline, you're pregnant," said the doctor.

I knew I stood there with my mouth open. Yes, I knew that the possibility existed but I had put all that behind me and went on with my life. "Is there any doubt?" I asked the doctor.

"I'm afraid not Caroline, you are pregnant. I don't know if it's good news or bad news to you."

"I'm not sure either doctor. As I got older and saw the small children and I often dreamed of having one of my own but it was not to be, until now. I'm not sure if I can do this now."

"Go home, talk with your husband before making any rash decisions. If you want a child this will probably be your last chance. If you want the baby I'll help you through your pregnancy. If you choose to abort the fetus you'll have to go to a clinic, I don't do abortions."

I started crying which is something I rarely did and hugged the doctor. She told me everything was going to be all right. Of course she didn't know that Charles had had a vasectomy many years ago before he and I got married.

I went home knowing that it was going to be anything but a normal evening. Before I got home I called my sister, Sasha. I needed to talk to somebody and it was odd I turned to her but she was one of the few people that knew what happened.

I told her I was pregnant and she was somewhat surprised also even though we knew there was a chance it could happen. "What are you going to do Carrie?" she asked. "I know you have always wanted a child of your own but this isn't the way it's supposed to be. Have you talked with Charles yet?"

"No, tonight's the night. If I suddenly disappear call the police," I said in jest; Charles and I have argued a number of times but he has never laid a hand on me. "I going to talk with him and decide if I'm going to keep the baby. He'll probably want a divorce and I can hardly blame him."

"Carrie, he's cheated around on you for years. I know you know that."

"Yes, but as far as I know he didn't get anyone pregnant. Men have that vasectomy option; that's probably why he had it in the first place."

"Sis, take care and call me if you need anything. I'm sorry it happened, I really am. I just wanted you to have some fun in your life."

"I guess I had a little to much fun," I laughed. "I'll call you within a couple of days and let you know what I'm going to do, I love you Sasha."

"I love you too Carrie." I hung up the phone, poured a glass of wine and waited for Charles to come home.

Charles came in, poured himself a drink, sat down in his chair, opened his newspaper and asked what the doctor said.

"She said I was pregnant," I just blurted it out.

He dropped his paper and almost spilled his drink. "It must be a mistake! It's not possible! Did you tell her I had a vasectomy nearly twenty years ago?"

"Yes, Charles, she knows the baby isn't yours." I didn't tell him that the doctor thought it was his.

"Whose is it? How long have you been cheating on me? I should have known better than to marry you. Is it Ben's? I've seen how he looks at you. Come on say something." He kept ranting and raving and I sat there and watched him, waiting for him to stop.

"No it's not Ben's, funny you should ask that question seeing you have been fucking his wife Grace for I don't know how long." The look on his face said it all, it was true. "Then there's the semi annual trips to Florida where you pay for sex that you won't give me at home. Yes, I know all about you cheating on me ever since we got married."

He didn't try to make excuses, he asked me how long I've been cheating on him. "Just the one time when you went to Florida to get your rocks off. I figured an eye for an eye. What's good for the goose is good for the gander."

"It was your damn sister, wasn't it? She put you up to this; I never did like her."

"Don't blame Sasha, I did it all on my own and I liked it. I had men sucking my tits and fucking me at the same time. I had a big black cock in my mouth and sucked him till he came."

"You fucking low-life slut. I held you up as a queen and you made yourself a common whore. I should have thrown you to the dogs years ago."

"You could have made love to me instead of using me as your pin-cushion whenever you wanted sex. I was willing to do everything with you but you wanted no part of it. You saved it for your sluts."

"So you were with a black man?" he asked. He had a slight change in his voice. I had to wonder if deep down he liked hearing it.

"Yes, two of them and also two white men and a woman. I drank too much and let them all use me and I liked it. I liked being wanted and having real sex and climaxing over and over instead of pretending like I usually had to with you."

Charles got up and got himself another drink. I sat there waiting for him to return and continue the conversation. I honestly didn't know where this conversation was going.

He sat back in his chair and said, "You have to have an abortion before anyone else finds out. I'll forgive you this time ... but this time only. If you ever cheat on me again I'll divorce you and you will have nothing."

"What if I decide to keep the baby, what then?" I asked.

"You're not going to keep a black bastard baby or any other color. My friends know I can't have kids and I'm not going to be laughed at behind my back. You get an abortion or we get a divorce; the choice is yours. By the way, you will also be fired at the firm. I can't have my ex-wife walking around pregnant."

I guess I had to make a big decision that would affect the rest of my life. I knew I really didn't love Charles and he didn't love me but we had a marriage of convenience. I wanted more out of life now. I wanted a baby but really did wonder what if it was a bi-racial child? It wasn't anything new in this day and age.

I told Charles I was going away for a couple of days to see my mother. I lied because I was going to go see Sasha and I knew he would take it all out of context. I let him know I would make my decision when I returned. He wasn't happy about it but I really didn't care.

I went and saw Sasha but it was more about business and making some important decisions rather than having fun. I had an appointment with Kevin and I felt rather funny sitting across from him at his desk.

"What can I do for you Carrie?" He tried to make me feel comfortable.

"I was wondering if you were serious about recommending me for a law position in the firm you deal with? I'm thinking of getting a divorce and moving down here near Sasha."

He stared at me for what seemed like minutes but was only a few seconds. "What is your law specialty, criminal, tax, divorce, bankruptcy?"

"I was top in my class in tax law. In my present law firm I have made more profits for our firm than most of the other attorneys. The only reason I'm a junior partner is because my husband and his cronies, the senior partners, would not let married couples both be senior partners."

Let me make a couple of calls and see what I can do. Is there anything else I should know?"

"Kevin, I'm pregnant and I am getting divorced. I thinking about keeping my baby." I didn't tell him that I didn't know who the father was or that it could even be his. As far as anyone knew it could be Charles's baby. He was a smart man and probably could see through it.

"I'll get back with you this afternoon. Should I contact you at Sasha's? Better yet let me take you and Sasha out for dinner."

"Just so you know this trip is about business not pleasure." He smiled at me when I said it. He really is a nice man.

As I left the meeting with Kevin my cell phone rang; it was Charles. "Where the hell are you? I called your mother's office and she said she never saw you. I told her about your pregnancy and she's mad as hell."

"I came to see my sister and to make a big decision. I've made it and I going to keep my baby. You had no right to tell my mother. How could you? I hate you so much right now."

"No need for you to come back to our house or office. You're fired!"

"You can't do that! I'm a junior partner with tenure. It would take a vote of the majority of senior partners to fire me. You are only one of five. I'll be back tomorrow for a roll call. As far as the house goes I live there and am entitled to retrieve my personal items."

"It's my house and we signed a pre-nuptial agreement that if we ever divorced I keep my house and everything in it," replied Charles.

"It doesn't apply to things we bought after we got married. You can keep everything but I want all my personal things and I get half our savings. Remember? I'm the tax attorney. Give me half the saving, my vehicle and I'll sign dissolution papers, otherwise we can go to court and the world can know our private business."

"You fucking slut! I'll make sure that you never practice law again. No one in our firm will give you a fucking recommendation. I'll see to that."

"I'll still be at the office to make sure the vote is legal and get my severance pay. Maybe your partners would like to know that you fucked Grace."

"Ha! Good luck with that you stupid whore! Most of the partners already know about my extra curricular activities. See you tomorrow on your last day of work."

I was a bit worried. I would have enough funds to last awhile but I would need a good paying position and most reputable firms would want a reference from my previous employer.

Kevin called and Sasha and I met him at the Olive Garden. We ate dinner and then we discussed business. He said that the firm he deals with are in need of a good tax attorney. They had looked into my past and said they would love to meet me and offer me a position. Kevin set me up with an appointment for the following Monday.

He did say that they did want a recommendation from my previous firm to make sure I wasn't leaving because of breaking any type of law. He smiled when he told me that the Cleveland branch of his firm has lost a number of accounts to our firm. Mostly in the tax area which I worked. Their firm was hoping to possibly get some of those large accounts back. I did find out that Kevin had his hands in a lot of businesses in the Cincinnati area. He didn't have to do this for me but I was grateful for his help.

I was a bit worried about getting a recommendation from my husband's firm. He would do all he can to see that I wouldn't get one. I needed to have a backup plan.

I called my mother and she was really upset with me. She told me I was throwing away my life. I did my best to explain to her that I thought long and hard whether to keep the baby and how Charles had been cheating on me ever since we got married.

She softened a bit but told me raising a child on my own was a hard thing to do. I explained to her how I couldn't abort it. According to the doctor it was probably my last chance to have a child. She did ask me if there was a chance of the baby being black; that's what Charles told her.

When I told her there was that chance, but I was going to keep and love my child no matter what. I told my mom that I loved her and hope she would accept her grandchild. She didn't really reply but said we would talk later. I hung up wondering where this left my mother and I.

****

When I arrived at the office I was receiving a somewhat cold reception. The junior partners seemed afraid to talk to me. Charles must have already spread news that I was being fired from the firm. His secretary, Mary escorted me into the meeting room with the five senior partners.

Charles, Ben and Sid started the firm. William and Robert came on board a couple of years later. They didn't add anymore senior partners knowing I would be next in line and they didn't want to change the marriage rule.

Sid was the attorney in charge of tax services and I was his main junior partner whom most of the clients wanted to deal with. After Charles explained why I should be fired from the firm Sid asked if there was any other way to work this out.

Charles said if I got an abortion maybe we could work something out. When I told him flat out that I was keeping my baby he went half ballistic calling me every name in the book. Finally Ben told him to calm down and he apologized to his partners for the outrage and asked for a final vote.

Sid asked me if I had anything to say and I told them that I had tenure which gave me a share in the company which I had built up over ten years. I knew I wouldn't be able to work along side of Charles anymore. I looked at Mary and it occurred to me that she probably had fucked Charles. She had this slight grin on her face.

I figured it was no use airing all of Charles's faults because all of these partners knew them. I must have worn blinders all these years. Sid asked Mary to tell his secretary to bring out my tenure records and what it would cost to buy out my portion of the business.

Jean brought in the reports. She and I were good friends and I could see a tear in her eyes when I smiled at her. She handed the report to Sid who looked a bit shocked before reading the amount to buy me out.

Sid said, "This is my first time looking at this report in awhile. Jean had done it yesterday. Caroline has brought in more business than all my other three advisors combined. Her buyout account is slightly over a million dollars."

Ben said, "Maybe we should keep her and buyout Charles." Charles didn't find it all that funny but I was a workaholic and Charles was a figurehead.

"We need to vote now to fire Caroline. It's gone on long enough."

I stood up. "Gentlemen, I'm not here to turn you against one another. It will make it much better all the way around if I resign and you agree to my payout. It will look a lot better to your clients. If necessary you can mention that Charles and I divorced and I thought it would be best if I left the firm."

I knew Charles wanted to humiliate me but his partners knew what I said was a lot better for the firm. They agreed to transfer a million dollars to my personal savings and retirement account so that it wouldn't be part of the marital assets.

I would have to sign a form that said I wouldn't go after any of their clients for two years. Charles told them that he would see that I didn't practice law and that none of them should give me any recommendations for employment. If any came into the office he wanted them sent to him.

I did my best to keep my head held high and thanked them all, except Charles, and told them it was a pleasure working with them. William was the senior divorce lawyer and I asked him if he would oversee my dissolution with Charles unless Charles wanted to go the divorce route.

William looked over at Charles and said he would have a talk with Charles and get in touch with me. As I left I gave Jean a hug and told her she was a good friend. None of the partners said anything to me. As I walked out I got looks of sadness and surprise but for some reason, I felt relief.

I had told Charles that I was going to the house and start gathering up my personal belongings. He told me I better not take anything that belongs to him. I let him know I didn't want anything that belonged to him, just my personal things. I did have a lot of clothes and shoes. In fact I rented a small u-haul trailer to take my things to Cincinnati.

I never told anyone where I was moving to but Charles knew my sister lived in the Cincinnati area. It was both sad and exciting to be starting over. I was just worried about getting a recommendation of previous employment.

I received a call from William, our lawyer, who said Charles agreed to the dissolution. He said Charles was going out of town for two days and for me to gather my personal things and he would be by to oversee I didn't take anything other than my personal belongings. He did say he trusted me but promised Charles he would be there before I packed the u-haul.

I called Sasha and she said that Eric and her were coming up to help me load the u-haul and that Eric would drive it back for me. They would be up late the next day. I told her I didn't want Eric or Bob to know I was pregnant yet. The only person to know was Kevin and that was for business reasons. I wasn't showing at all and I wanted to keep it that way for awhile.

There was a knock on the door and it was Ben. He said he told William that he would come and oversee my moving. He then said he was really sad to see me leave. The office wouldn't be the same without me there.

That's when I asked him if he would write me a letter of recommendation representing the firm. I told him that I would give him the night of his life for the recommendation. It was a one time offer and when he left the deal would be off the table.

He told me that if Charles found out he would kill him. I let him know that Charles had fucked his wife and this was the opportunity to get even with him. They were equal partners and there would be nothing Charles could do to him.

I walked up to him, put my arms around his head and kissed him very passionately. He immediately grabbed my ass and pulled me tightly to him. I then pushed him back and asked him if we had a deal. He said we did and I had him go to the computer and type up a good recommendation stating I was a valuable asset to his firm and would be greatly missed. He said because of the company marriage statutes that I thought it best to resign. We printed a copy and he signed it.

"Where did we leave off?" asked Ben as he came up to kiss me.

I pushed him back. "Ben, I promised you the night of your life not a quickie." I took his hand as we headed up to the bedroom.

"Ben, this will only be a one time thing. Tonight I'm your whore." I took off my blouse as Ben stared at my bra. I reached back and let it fall. He immediately came to me and began squeezing and sucking on my tits like a baby sucking her mother's.

"God, you're so beautiful. What the hell is wrong with Charles? None of the women he picks up is as nice as you and that includes Grace."

I unhooked my skirt and let it fall. Ben dropped to his knees and buried his face in my panty covered pussy. I held his head there as he pushed his mouth against me. I knew I was beginning to get wet.

I asked him to stand up and I took off his shirt. He didn't look bad for a man in his fifties. I sucked on his nipples as he undid his belt and let his pants drop. He was already hard as I gripped his cock against his briefs. I dropped to my knees and pulled down his briefs and let his cock spring free. I took in in my hand and put my mouth over the end of it and tasted the pre cum.

"Your mouth is so warm and feels so good. I need to fuck you Caroline," he said.

I got up and got in the center of the bed. Ben got below my legs and slowly pulled off my damp panties. "Damn, you're so beautiful," he said before burying his face in my pussy. I reached down and spread my lips so he could get his tongue deeper inside of me. I even had a mini orgasm while he was doing it.

"Fuck me Ben! Put your big cock into Charles's wife's pussy. Fuck her hard and long. Make her come!" I was talking as though I was another person.

I bucked hard against Ben's cock. I have to admit it really felt good. I actually hoped he would tell Charles about it. We both came hard the first time of many that night. After a rest I took him in my mouth and I sucked his cock and kissed his balls till he came again.

"I always knew you would be great," he said to me as he fingered me to another orgasm. We fell asleep and I woke up with Ben eating out my pussy again.

"Ben, I'm going to give you my ass which no one has ever had. All I ask is that you be gentle with me." I turned over and got on my knees and leaned forward. Ben took wetness from my pussy and rubbed juices on my asshole using his cock.
