Author's Notes: These are my stories and they may not be copied nor sampled. This story begins with poverty and hardship is about transgender cross dressing, ebony models, and love and kids.
My name is Teddy Benedict I grew up on Queen Anne Hill in Seattle. The high school had long closed, so I went to Franklin High School, on a bus.
My dad had been in Desert Storm and was a Marine Master Gunnery Sergeant and drove an M-113 Automated Personnel Carrier (APC). Its Armament was twofold: Cadillac Gage turret fitted with twin mounted M1919 Browning machine guns and Ma Deuce, Browning QCB machine guns. They also had the TOW anti-tank missile system. He would often remark the armament was fine, the armor sucked. Three quarter inch thick aluminum, augmented with sand bags.
I was fourteen when he went over there and my mom was an escort. Worked for service that was run by Seattle Policemen in the Fairmount Olympic Hotel. She made good money, had a 1973 Silver Mercedes 450 SE, she was in love with one of the cops who was married. She didn't cook, I had turkey pot pies and hominy in cans, eggs and Vienna Sausages in a can.
She went on a vacation to Las Vegas for a month during my baseball season and I broke my hand when I got hit by a pitch and we had Tricare because my dad was in the reserves when it started and I was fourteen, anyway they refused to treat me. It was killing me.
I waived at this cop and he came over and I said, "Do you know Eddie Redmond?"
He gave me the side eye and I thought why the fuck should I cover for her or him, I said loudly, "He's her pimp and they left to work some conference in Las Vegas three weeks ago, my Dad's a Marine in Iraq driving an APC."
"My hand is broken and they won't treat me, I don't know how to get a hold of my dad or her."
"What did you do to your hand?"
"I was playing baseball, got hit by a pitch."
"Are you any good?"
I nodded yes, "I had a double in the gap the time before that, he was trying to get me off the plate. I'm a catcher, I can throw and I can run."
"When did you last eat, " he heard my stomach grumbling, "Sunday I think, it was really Wednesday.
"What did you have, "he asked.
I put my forehead into my hand of my good arm which was resting on my leg and I just quit, or my body did and I collapsed on the floor.
I heard the same guy talking, "His mom is a whore, she left him three weeks ago to work a convention with her pimp, who is an ex-cop. I got an APB for both of them, CPS is going to want to put him in the system, but his dad is a Marine, reserve in Desert Storm, he's a teacher.
The doctor said, "He's awake, his pulse spiked when you said CPS."
"Who's your dad son?"
"He is Big Bill Benedict, Marine Master Gunnery Sergeant, he drives a M-113 APC."
"How old is he?"
"He's fifty two he was in Vietnam, he has thirty four years as a Marine, went to college on the GI-Bill. He teaches at O'Dea Catholic Boy's high school."
"Is he healthy, "that was the doctor asking.
"Sort of I guess, he favors his left side, which is where he was shot, leg, side and shoulder, he said it was the rehab, that made it stronger. He smokes cigars too. He's six foot three and weighs two fifty. He's a mean son of a bitch."
I continued, "Doc, my hand is fucking killing me."
"You were dehydrated, so we're getting some fluids into you. Can you tell me when you last ate and what it was?"
"I heated up a can of hominy and added some water with soy sauce oh and crackers. It was last Wednesday."
"Why were you playing baseball?"
"Baseball all I got, my way out."
Word leaked out to her pimp and she escaped from Las Vegas. I mean if they brought her back, it wasn't like she was the mother of the year candidate and she'd be in jail until she got bailed out and she'd go back to work or leave either way I was fucked. I never saw her again.
They operated on my hand and put some pins in it so, I would miss the rest of baseball that summer.
The biggest concern for the hospital was who would pay for the surgery and three days in the bed. I had Tri-Care coverage as well as the medical plan from dad's teaching job. The hospital, was reaching out to the Navy as technically the Marines are part of the Navy, but the Navy did not give a shit.
In the closet was my uniform and my cleats, cleats are the shoes you wear with spikes. I could dress up and carry the shoes out and walk home. The weather was nice. The shifts changed at five o'clock or so, it was three thirty.
Then the cop walked in and he had an extra large pizza from Pizza Hut and I loved pizza and I could smell it. He put it on this small table and opened it up and there were paper plates and napkins. He put three pieces on a plate, it was sausage and pepperoni, and brought it to me. I hit the button and raised the bed. I pinned the plate with left hand which was in a cast and folded up a piece and started working on it.
It was far and away the best thing I'd ever eaten and I was humming and it was hot and it burned the roof of my mouth, but it was so good. The end crust piece, I tore that with my teeth and chewed that. I made it through the three pieces and was full, but I could not let it go to waste.
He said, "What are your plans?"
I thought before I said anything. "Well, I was going to put on my uniform and walk home at the shift change at five o'clock. It's nice out and I would go bare foot. I can't waste that pizza though so I will stay and finish it and leave in the morning.
The hospital is worried about getting paid. I'm pretty sure one of the coverages tri-care or blue cross will pay them, elsewise they would have kicked me out."
He said, "How much did you weigh at Christmas?"
It felt like a trick question, "One seventy and I'm five foot eleven."
"According to your chart you weigh one fifty five now. How would you eat?"
"I have a grandmother who lives in Phoenix, I could call her and she'd fly up and feed me. She used to be a baker."
"Why didn't you tell the hospital about her?"
"The bill is like fifteen thousand dollars, I heard them talking. She's retired and I'm not her dependent."
Chapter Two
He gave me his phone and I called her, Grandma Hazel, she came, dad came home, I played college baseball at the University of Washington and got married and had three kids McGee, Thomas and Bill with Hannah.
The marriage was great at first, but she had "daddy issues" and had a series of affairs, mostly with her bosses. There were hook ups for sure as well. I had two revenge affairs. I concluded that I had no leverage in any relationship, with her or anyone else. I hired a private investigator and got tons of videos, interviews etc.
I set up a three day weekend up in the San Juans at Orcas Island. Other than an occasional, desultory blow job that always finished with her jerking me off, our sex life had stopped.
