Beth was speechless, big crocodile tears running down her cheeks as her breathing shuddered, barely able to whisper, "Yes!" as she nodded her affirmation.
Barnes stood and pulled his woman to him and Beth rested her head on his shoulder, "My lovely wife, your husband is in need of your services."
Beth giggled through her tears and softly kissed Barnes' neck, "Yes, my Master. Take your woman and make her your wife in heart and in deed."
Barnes wasted no time and cradled Beth in his arms as he purposely walked them to his cabin. All I can say is there was a lot of dust in the air as there wasn't a dry eye on the whole ship.
After they left, Red sniffled, "They are so much in love. Sue? Can we work together to get them married while we are at GITMO?"
Sue's eyes got big as saucers as her lips curled into an ear-to-ear smile, "Oh! It's on! Harry, we are going to have to let the Base know we are coming if we are going to have a proper wedding!"
I raised up my hands, "Hold on ladies. I can appreciate all the mamma bear enthusiasm, but should we not allow them to decide when and where?"
Sue grumbled. It has been 4 months since Sue became pregnant and she was starting to show. She was so cute as she walked around the ship, her hands softly caressing our baby. But that also meant she was very hormonal so I knew better than to press the issue any further. I saw Red give me the eye that she would take care of it, so I kissed Sue on the lips, kissed our baby through her tummy, and wisely excused myself to get some sauna time.
I was not long in the sauna when DD walked in. "Mind sharing?" she asked.
"You are always welcome to share anything I have or I'm doing, DD." I then smiled, "So who sent you and what is on your mind?"
DD laughed, "Actually Cathy asked me to look in on you. She has been keeping track of Sue's emotional states with her advancing pregnancy and thought you might need to unload a bit. I tend to agree with her assessment and had planned to approach you but now seemed a good time."
DD had stood before me in the nude and bent over, with her arms on my shoulders and hands behind my head as she spoke. To say this beautiful woman wasn't distracting the heck out of me right at this moment would be akin to denying the sky is blue.
I reached up with my fingers and gently pinched her nipples as I pulled her to my lips, deeply kissing her. By the time we separated my cock was hard and we were both breathing heavily. "I know it is the pregnancy hormones, DD. Still, for me, it can be difficult."
DD smirked, "I know you know she loves you very deeply. Perhaps taking on the role as the subservient partner for a while would not be a bad thing?"
I looked at DD and laughed, "Yes, that would be a good thing for her. Might kill me, though. You know me well enough to know that is not really my wheelhouse."
DD then told me what to expect and when to reach out to her and/or Doc for help. "The pregnancy blues are common but not often talked about, making many women reluctant to reach out for the support they need," she said, "And it doesn't help when friends and family dismiss a woman's feelings as just pregnancy hormones run amok. Paying attention to unusual sadness or depression is critical because the pregnancy blues can be dangerous for both mom and baby and may lead to postpartum depression."
DD straddled my waist and slipped her legs behind me as she let herself down on my cock while she continued, "Additionally, studies have found that the gray matter in women's brains, which is responsible for processing and responding to social cues, may temporarily shrink during pregnancy. At the same time, a pregnant woman's brain becomes more efficient, allowing her to attune to her baby and form a strong attachment bond. So, you are going to have to have some patience with her if all of a sudden, she gets 'air headed'."
"Do I need to have someone else do her job for a while?"
DD shook her head no as she began to use her Kegel muscles on me, "No, that would be counterproductive. I have already spoken with both moms, and they are going to tag team her. Having gone through this themselves they can best relate to Sue and help her through this. The best thing you can do is just be supportive and complementary in all aspects of your relationship."
"For example?"
"Okay, one thing that is going to happen, if not already now that she is showing, is she is going to believe she is no longer desirable because she is fat. Don't ever agree with her. Instead, you might respond with, 'My love, I hear what you are saying but I just don't see you that way. When I look upon you now, I am filled with love and longing and expectation and excitement. You may not be able to see or understand it but the sight of a pregnant woman is one of the most beautiful things a man, especially a husband, can ever experience. I am so looking forward to raising our child...could I have a hug?"
I nodded in understanding even as I felt DD's pussy walls gliding over my cock ridge, sending electrical shocks up my spine. "So, validate her feelings but redirect her to more positive thoughts and display affection and support."
DD smiled, "Got it in one, handsome."
We were both getting close, so we concentrated on the moment. Each of us allowing ourselves to be vulnerable and opening up emotionally, making deep eye contact as we approached our mutual climax. It felt good filling DD up with my cum. I don't know why this time was different, but it seemed we were in a different place together.
Evidently, she felt it too and cautioned, "Neither I nor other women are the answer, Harry. It is your wife who needs you now."
I smiled, "Damn you really are that good, DD. You knew exactly how to break down my barriers and empower me. The day we met was a red-letter day."
DD winked, "For both of us, Harry." As DD handed me one of dad's erection pills, she scrunched her nose and said, "Now, let's get cleaned up and join our moms and Sue in the observation lounge?"
We both took a quick shower together, having fun soaping each other and teasing. We then walked to the elevator to deck 4.

Upon walking into the forward observation lounge both moms and Sue were sunbathing in the nude. There was a chaise lounge next to Sue, so I laid down on it, reaching for her hand. Sue enveloped my much larger hand and gently squeezed it. "Harry, I am having difficulty with my emotions. Can I count on your support and understanding?"
"Sister, I am here for you. If you need to unload, come find me. If you need support being the liaison for the Embassy, our moms know their shit and can help with anything you have going. There is one 'but' though: Don't be that helicopter friend or mother-in-law that tries to ruin another woman's wedding. Please let Beth approach you for help and then let her make all the decisions on plans you three come up with. And include Red, Cathy and DD, please."
Sue giggled, "Red already offered to put a bug in her ear about tying the knot at GITMO. Oh! The SEALs are looking to train with some of the Marine contingent, with your permission."
I laughed, "Yeah, tell them to practice discretion. We don't need to put half the Marine contingent on sick call."
