A little somthing for @Natesmama1128

Okay, twitter conversations have given me so much to laugh at and I've taken them and run. So, I told Natesmama that I would write her in. Here's a preview of that. It will be in Second Comes Marriage.

~S~C~M~

“How the hell did you end up cooking?” Legates asked, wearing a smirk. Ethan’s face furrowed since he knew Legates was up to no good but he wasn’t sure where it was going.
“What are you talking about? Ethan’s the best outdoor cook in the county,” James said, grinning at Legates, “you been gone too long, man.”
“I guess since the last time I saw him cook, he put shrimp in the dishwasher, spices in the soap dispenser and beer in the rinse agent spot then ran it on high,” Legates said, taking a swig of his beer. James’ eyes shot to Ethan whose face and neck were turning red.
“Josh,” Ethan barked, making Legates burst into rolling laughter. Michelle tilted her head as Legates laughter drifted too her across the yard. Sadie smiled as a smile spread across Michelle’s face at her son’s laughter.
“What?” Legates asked, innocently while wearing a smirk.
“I’m telling Jen,” James said, turning on his heel.
“James, get back here,” Ethan barked, his face turning even more red.
“Who is Jen?” Legates asked, quirking an eyebrow at him.
“A girl,” Ethan mumbled, turning back to the grill. A petite brown haired girl with mile long legs came up behind Ethan.
“So, I hear you know how to use a dishwasher,” she said, bumping his hip with hers. The back of Ethan’s neck flushed and the tips of his ears turned bright red.
“Legates, I’m going to kill you,” Ethan grumbled. Jen’s laughter tinkled merrily and she turned to face Legates.
“So you’re the friend he said had mile long legs,” she said, eyeing his legs, “yeah I can see that. Does his dongle match?” She asked, wearing a leer as she looked at Ethan.
“Girl, I’m going to chase you with a dongle,” he threatened, wearing a smirk because he knew she was trying to get his goat. Legates shook his head remembering the dongle comment he’d made to Techie.
“Your dongle?” She asked, fluttering her eyelashes at him with a leer on her face.
“Dongle this, iPad that, smartphones everywhere,” Ethan’s mom said, walking past carrying a plate of cornbread. Legates let his head fall back and burst into laughter.

Chapter 68 Links for FCL

In Chapter 68 I talk about a C-17 and I believed I've referred to them before. Here is a link to some information about them. I guess since I live near Dover AFB I believe everyone should know what they look like since they're pretty much a common place thing to see. It is kind of interesting to travel down route 113 here in Dover when one of them is landing. The lights flashing the roar of the plane. Like a mini amusement park ride LOL

C-17

Okay I spoke of IR (infrared) Supression contacts: They are working on making them and there is a like but it's boring as hell and hard to understand so we'll just say it maybe able to be done. But when I imagined the look of these contacts I went with what is on the following link.

Chapter 66 Links for First Comes Love

Well it would seem that I don't have any more links listed and something about that doesn't seem right. Looks like I'll have to go digging. For this chapter there is only one...but an important one.

Specialist Mikayla A. Bragg: In my research about PTSD dogs for veterans I saw that a lot of them were named after fallen soldiers. So I followed their lead and named Mikayla after Specialist Bragg. The link goes to the Washington Post and if you have the time just take a look at the fallen. Every once in awhile it's good to see the price that is paid for the freedoms that we as Americans often take for granted.

Chapter 61 Links for First Comes Love

Chapter 61

I was getting my links together when I realized Holy Crap, I put the wrong apartment complex in the story. *sigh* so I went back and changed it..ungghh. Anyway...

Archstone Ballston Place: Michelle and Tanya's new apartment.

Floor Plan of Michelle and Tanya's Apartment: I knew I had it somewhere. This floor plan is what I used when I described it in the story. The previous one I had posted was close but not quite there.

Crap I forgot the Tee shirts

Michelle's Tee Shirt : I modified it because I sorta didn't like it.

Legates' Shirt Again slightly modified to fit story but it's Cafe Press so technically they could make it =D

Chapter 60 Links for First Comes Love

Chapter 60:
Oh Jeez this is still new and doesn't quite fit into the routine so I do apologize. I am sooo bad =( Sorry guys.

Creme Brulee Lotion This is a sex store site so if you don't want to go to one, don't click this link.

Legates' Jacket: I know I said it was in Niccolos but they didn't have a website so I found a jacket that would look good on him and used that.

Toiletry Bag 

Eternity Jewelers : There is no picture of Michelle's necklace because it's completely made up but I did find a jeweler in their area that does custom work!

Ahnu Montora Boots: Just because I like shoes dammit! =D

Chapter 59 Links for First Comes Love

Just a notation for Chapter 58, my husband gave me the definition and word dorm rat. He seem to indicate in might be different in other branches/dorms. So /shrug that's all I can really say about that.

Chapter 59 Links

Turducken I'm thinking this year of buying it early so that we can actually try it. Every year we say we want to try it, spend too much on gifts then never get too LOL gotta love the holidays right?

Cam's Dress Imagine my utter amusement when I went 'shopping' for Cam saw this dress and  thought it's PERFECT only to see it on her in an episode. I'll have to go find that episode. I can't remember it off the top of my head.

Legates Gift: Went looking for the BIGGEST mall in the DC area. Found this one only to realize that it wasn't even open yet LOL

Michelle's Ornament Okay so I tweeked it a little. No Aurora isn't there and these are self illuminating but I think the way I had them is better *sniff* LOL. Just for story purposes I had to make it special.
