[[[-IF4-P2.TXT-]]] ---------------- Island Fever 4: Paradise Written by: JeremyDCP@hotmail.com M/F, F/F and a whole lot more ---------------- Chapter 02: "Prenatal" ------------------------------------------- -*- Wednesday, May 20, 2015 -*- -*- Oslo, Norway -*- "This hamburger is absolutely delicious," I mused, biting into and salivating over a Norwegian version of the classic American favorite. A thick and juicy beef patty sat atop an even mix of shredded lettuce and shredded Chinese cabbage, with a coating of Thousand Island salad dressing just below it. On top of the patty was lots of extra cheese and bacon, with an apricot-colored mayonnaise sauce that had a distinct gherkin flavor to it. Of course, what hamburger could possibly be complete without two sesame seed buns? "Strange you would say that here of all places," Amy shrugged, as she sat across from me and enjoyed a healthy chef's salad here in the lunch cafeteria at the university hospital in downtown Oslo, Norway. "Hospital food is not supposed to taste good." Amy raised an eyebrow at me. "Is it better than the hamburgers I fix myself?" "Of course not, sweetheart." Whoa... I definitely was not going to attempt to traverse that path. If I told Amy any differently, I could have found myself walking home! I glanced and focused upon Amy as she continued to enjoy her chef's salad, but ultimately my eyes drifted downward and I found myself fixated upon that beautiful baby bump that was straining against her camisole top. Amy was six months pregnant and, dare I say it, she looked better to me now than she ever had before. I do not know why, but I have a certain weakness when it comes to the sight of a pregnant woman. Amy was a lovely and attractive young lady with long, fire engine red hair and a smile that could stop a freight train, but she was even more beautiful to me nowadays because her body was preparing itself to bring a new life into the world. Being able to witness her belly slowly expand and grow over the past several months was simply indescribable to me. Of course, I felt the same way about Kristanna and Pamela when they went through their respective pregnancies. I even married Pamela when she was six months pregnant with Piper. Oh, I will never forget that day; Pamela looked splendid and downright divine in her bridal dress as our unborn daughter continued to nurture and grow inside of her. Amy knew that I was staring at her baby bump from across the table here in the hospital cafeteria. She reached across and gently grasped my wrist, then made eye contact with me and the two of us proceeded to exchange heartfelt, genuine smiles. The love and admiration I felt for Amy was immense. Rest assured, the feeling was mutual. "Hey there, guys," Scarlett greeted, literally appearing out of nowhere with a cafeteria tray full of food, taking a seat at the round, circular table with us. "I am so sorry that I am late, but I got really busy all of a sudden and had to postpone lunch for a half-hour." "It's okay," I told Scarlett. "We are just glad that you are finally here. How's your day been thus far?" "Busy," she sighed. Amy and I were at the hospital here in Oslo on this warm, yet breezy Wednesday, for her monthly prenatal checkup. We had a few other places in the area to visit as well today, but asked Scarlett before she left for work this morning if she would like to meet us for lunch in the hospital cafeteria at noon during her usual break time. Her answer was yes, of course; Scarlett was employed here as a labor and delivery nurse in the childbirth center. Because Amy and I would be here for her monthly examination, it only made sense that we all get together and have a friendly lunch. A true angel of mercy, Scarlett's long-flowing blonde hair was pinned-up into an attractive bun atop her head. She wore a stylish blue nurse's tunic, as well as matching pants and a pair of sneakers. The 30-year-old appeared somewhat frazzled and tired, but I could not help but to smile at her anyway. Earlier this year on Easter Sunday, I actually went to dinner with Scarlett and her inner family, and asked her to marry me right in front of them. She gave a screeching and tearful _yes_ which meant that soon, Scarlett would indeed be wife number seven for me. Her family seemed happy for her, although most of them did not quite understand (or even approve of) the logistics of our group relationship. "I've missed you today." Scarlett blushed! I loved the sight. "Oh, Jeremy..." "When are you going to quit this job?" I asked her. "I would love for you to be able to spend a lot more time around the house with us. These 12 hour shifts of yours really tear me up. You know, you don't have to work." "But I love my job!" Scarlett defended herself, nibbling on a turkey melt sandwich. "I went to medical school and studied hard for all those years; I do not want to give up on what I put so much effort into. I know you have more money than some entire countries do, Jeremy, but I like to work. I like to stay active. And I love being a nurse." "I know," I conceded. "I respect that, too. Just call me greedy, I suppose. I'd like you around more often is all. But I understand you following your life's ambition." "Have you had time to think about the wedding yet?" Amy asked Scarlett. "Come up with any ideas or plans?" Scarlett shook her head, but smiled at the mere idea. "No, not yet. The past five, six weeks have seemed like an absolute blur to me. I never once imagined that Jeremy would propose to me the way he did. No wonder he insisted on us going to my family's house alone that day. I had no idea. But fortunately, the wedding is not until next year." Amy snickered and crinkled her nose. "Jeremy is ALWAYS up to something. You should have learned that by now, Scarlett. He is very sneaky and devious that way." Amy nodded her head at me. "The wheels in his little brain are always spinning." "Hey there, woman!" I protested, though of course, in a fun and playful manner. "Just what are you trying to say?" "What are you? Deaf?" Amy shot back, grinning. "You heard me. You are very calculating, and manipulative." I stifled a laugh and countered, "If I didn't know you any better, Amy, I'd think you're trying to talk bad, and say something negative about me. But I know better." "Do you?" Scarlett giggled, joining the fun. "Have you told any of your friends here at the hospital of your engagement?" Amy wondered. Scarlett shrugged her shoulders. "What can I say to them? My good friends here know Jeremy, but he has been here to visit me with Trish and Lindsay, and now you. They see the two of you with you pregnant, and naturally assume that you're a couple. How do I go about telling them that yes you are married, but I will be joining the relationship too? Yes I am getting married, but my husband will have six other wives? I do not think any of my friends would understand." Scarlett gulped her throat. "Only a very select few of my friends - maybe two or three - even know that I am bisexual." Amy frowned. "I don't know. I'm glad I don't have to worry about things like that. I keep to our little, inner circle. I don't socialize much outside of it." "Well, I am a nurse," Scarlett reminded her. "I HAVE to socialize and be approachable, be overly nice and friendly. It is part of my job description. No one wants a grumpy and subdued, quiet nurse when they are in labor. I did talk to one of my patients about Jeremy; told her that he proposed to me. I did not tell her anything beyond that, though." "So you haven't told any of your friends here at work that you got engaged on Easter Sunday, though?" Scarlett pouted at Amy. "No. I wish I could." Perhaps the only true negative about the life our little group had chosen to lead was that we were forced to hide its details from most (if not all) friends, while being overly ridiculed and questioned by certain intrusive family members. It took a long time, for example, for Lindsay's mother, Leslie, to finally accept the fact that her daughter was happy with us and thus, embrace the decisions her daughter had made and the lifestyle we led. It was still mind-boggling to Leslie, though, that her daughter was married to one man and four women, and literally engaged to two other ladies. Another example would be my very own sister, Di, who lived in the United States. Di was overjoyed for me when she was under the impression that Kristanna was the only woman in my life. We seemed like the perfect couple to her. To her, I had finally found happiness. But when I eventually confessed to Di that I had other wives as well, she began to rebel, and told me in no uncertain terms that she was very disappointed in me and the path I had chosen. She seemed disgusted. Whether right or wrong in the way others perceived us - justified or not - I go back to the fact that everyone in our little entourage was incredibly happy. We literally drowned each other out every day in a sea of love and caring. In my mind, at least, that was the only thing that truly mattered. The ladies and I mostly kept to ourselves and did not preach or try to force our beliefs and ideals onto others, either. So why should others insist on telling us how to live? Still, the secrets that we had to keep - such as Scarlett not being able to let her co-workers know that she was now engaged to me because they had often seen me with others - was something that all of us to deal with on a daily basis. It was a drawback to our relationship, yes. But considering our level of happiness, I would say it was well worth it. * * * "Jeremy!" Amy protested about 40 minutes later, as she and I were in the main elevator at the hospital. "Jeremy, stop that! Someone is going to see us!" Try as I might, but I could not keep neither my eyes or my hands off of the lovely and captivating Amy. She looked absolutely adorable with a little blue camisole top on, but what caught my attention more than anything was the sassy, black miniskirt Amy wore. Made of pure leather, the miniskirt featured both front and back zippers, and had two rows of rivets and hooks adorning it. Amy may have been six months pregnant, but that certainly had not detoured her from wearing her patented, trademarked collection of miniskirts on a rather routine basis. In the elevator, I could not help myself but to first trail my hand down to that plump, picture-perfect ass of hers, and pat it through the leather fabric. Then, I was pulling the miniskirt upward, and reaching for her goods. Of course, my other hand was caressing her abdomen. "Jeremy, stop!" she giggled at me, as I was diddling away upon her sweet, little clitoris with a pair of curious fingers underneath her panties. The elevator was in motion, and about to reach the ground floor. "Jeremy, stop!" Indeed, once the elevator's door opened, there was an elderly couple waiting on the other side. Amy may have seemed somewhat flushed, but the man and woman were clueless on what we had been doing seconds earlier as Amy's miniskirt was back down and smoothed into place. "Let's go, sweetheart," I said to Amy, while looking and nodding at the couple in a friendly manner. They both smiled at us when I planted a kiss upon the side of Amy's head as we exited the elevator. "That was a nice lunch with Scarlett," Amy commented, as we then strolled down the long corridor toward the main lobby. "She just seems so busy and frantic whenever we come to see her here at the hospital. I feel sorry for her." "She has a very stressful job," I mused, before stifling a laugh. "Scarlett has to deal with female patients in painful labor on a daily basis. I remember how Kristanna was when she was here, and give birth to Kaden. Kristanna was downright mean and hateful at times that day." "It was because of the pain and pressure, the anxiety, of being in labor for so long," Amy defended her. "Oh, I know," I retorted. "I still find it funny, though. Krissy was going through such a rough time; she grabbed me by the shirt collar right in front of Scarlett, and growled that I was NEVER to lay a FINGER on her again." Amy giggled. "She obviously changed her mind quick." Seeing an empty sofa directly in front of us, I latched onto Amy's hand and guided her over to it. "Sit down," I instructed her and, although confused, Amy did what I asked. She still had that serious, submissive streak in her. I took a seat next to Amy and slipped my left arm around her shoulder, then moved my right hand back to its standard place - her stomach. I kissed my beloved wife on the side of her head and cuddled her warm and close to me. "What are you doing?" she asked, nervously glancing around at all of the people in the busy lobby. "I don't nearly get to go out with you girls on a one-on-one basis as often as I'd like to," were my words for her. I again kissed the side of Amy's head and added, "But each time I do, I cherish it." I held her even tighter to me and ended, "Let's just stay here and be together for a bit." "Jeremy..." "You are incredibly special to me," I mused, looking into her eyes. "You have no idea just how special you are to me. And I love you more than you'll ever know." "Oh Jeremy..." Amy swooned, suddenly all red-faced and madly blushing herself. She smiled back at me and offered, "I look forward to spending one-on-one time with you more than anything else in my entire life. Whether it is just for a few moments or an entire day, it is what makes me happiest. I love you, Jeremy. You're my centerpiece; my rock..." Amy was suddenly glowing as she glanced downward and put both hands upon her stomach. "And YOU have no idea, Jeremy, how happy I am that this little angel is going to be part of our lives very, very soon," she beamed at me. "I cannot wait until our baby is born! I thank God every single day that He allowed me the opportunity to finally, one day, become a mother. I never thought it would happen." Amy rubbed her stomach with both hands and smiled at me. "I love her so much!" she quaked. "Little Dani Grace isn't even born yet, but I love her so much! I just cannot wait until I finally get the opportunity to meet her!" "Neither can I, honey," I told her. "Neither can I..." * * * Amy and I spent a good 20 minutes just relaxing and being together on the sofa in the hospital lobby. I did not care what anyone else thought about us as we simply sat there and cuddled like most newlyweds often do. Trust me, we received plenty of stares. I found the most gratification out of the jealous looks I got from other men. Amy was picture-pretty, and looked incredibly attractive in her flirty camisole top and leather miniskirt. And oh, that baby bump... Eventually, the two of us got up from the sofa and decided to continue our day out. With her monthly prenatal visit out of the way, I promised the rest of the day exclusively to Amy. Oh, and as for the examination itself, everything was fairly routine and the doctor did not seem to find any complications or issues with Amy's pregnancy. There was a long list of standard questions. Was Amy feeling nauseated? Had she felt the baby move recently? Were the movements becoming more or less? Had she been leaking fluid, or was there been any blood loss? Amy had some tests done on her as well - a host of blood work, including a glucose check and anemia screening, and a blood pressure reading. The doctor sat and spoke with Amy for a long time and was very thorough in asking if she had any questions or concerns, and if she felt any pain or discomfort in any portion of her body. The doctor also referred Amy to a nearby center which specialized in childbirth education classes, suggesting that she enroll there and I attend with her. But what Amy, as well as yours truly, looked forward to the most with each of these prenatal examinations was having the opportunity to listen to our daughter's heartbeat with a handheld ultrasound device called a Doppler. Amy always got really emotional and was thrilled to listen to this dramatic sign of the little life she and I had created together. Dani Grace's heartbeat always seemed to elicit tears from Amy. With our medical activities out of the way, our next stop on the itinerary after leaving the hospital was _Frammuseet_ (The Fram Museum). Located in downtown Oslo, The Fram Museum told the tale of Norwegian polar exploration. It is home to an actual ship that was used in Arctic and Antarctic expeditions between the years of 1893 to 1912. Said to have sailed further north and further south than any other wooden ship in recorded history, _Fram_ was preserved and kept in excellent condition here at its museum in Oslo. Amy was energized and in good spirits as she and I toured the massive vessel. We were able to walk through all three levels of the ship, and felt fascinated listening to the guide explain the many issues and rigors the crew had to endure on a daily basis just in order to survive well more than a century ago. Seeing the tiny bunk beds where the crew slept, as well as the gruesome array of dental and medical equipment, was very interesting and moving. It also made me appreciate modern technology even more. Perhaps my favorite exhibit of all, but the one I spent the least amount of time exploring, was the Arctic experience passage - or, very simply, _the cold room_. It was here where one could step inside and feel what it is like, both temperature and conditions wise, to be in the middle of the North Pole. I did not stay there for long, while Amy kept her distance. It felt absolutely brutal inside! Outside of the ship were several different exhibits and historical artifacts to revel and delight in, as well as video displays and even a theater that told a captivating story about the history of polar exploration and the brave men who pioneered it. We spent the latter half of the afternoon in a little, seaside village and resort south of Oslo called Drobak. A small town with beautiful wooden shops, restaurants and houses set on the southern coast of Oslofjord, Drobak was one of Amy's favorite places in the entire region. She loved to come here every so often and browse through the various shops and sights. It was remarkable year-round, but even more so during the holiday season with all of the festive decorations and the massive Christmas tree in the center of town. Last December, our family spent an entire day in Drobak. Kaden and Piper, my two infant children with Kristanna and Pamela, respectively, got to meet Santa Claus for the first time and had their pictures taken with him. I even persuaded Lindsay to sit on old Santa's lap and get her photograph taken as well. I was hopeful Santa would thank me later for that, perhaps with an overstocked stocking on Christmas morning... Back in the present time, Amy and I stopped and had dinner at a small sandwich shop. It was at this time that, after such a long day out, Amy seemed to lose her luster and become overly tired. It happened fast. I wanted to stay in Drobak a bit longer, but with the time now approaching 6:00pm, Amy and I mutually decided that it would be best to return home to our estate in Sandvika. Truth be told, Amy had not been out and about for such an extended period of time like this for about two months. Today we put a lot on her plate, so to speak, and perhaps pushed her a bit too far. The drive itself took just under 90 minutes. Able to kick back and relax in the automobile, Amy chatted at length on the telephone during the trip with Kristanna, telling her all about the fun and enjoyable day we spent out as a couple. Apparently Kristanna, Devon and Pamela spent the majority of their day literally burning through their credit cards at the local shopping center. As for Trish and Lindsay, Kristanna explained to us, "We came home and found them in the bubble bath, hugging and kissing as if it was their wedding night. You can imagine the rest." Certainly, there was nothing wrong with that. Was there? Once we finally arrived at the mansion, Amy and I were met at the door by the charming duo of Kristanna and Devon. I told them that I was hopping into the _Jeep_ to take my nightly tour of the farm's perimeter, wanting to be certain that all of the fences were intact (and some animal, or pack of them, did not break through and/or damage them). Amy wanted to go on the little ride with me as well - probably wanting to extend our one-on-one time for just awhile longer. So, after assuring Kristanna and Devon that she felt fine and did not need to rest and/or lie down just yet, Amy and I got into the _Jeep_ and took off. I only made it halfway through the perimeter check before I stopped the _Jeep_ and pulled Amy across the seat and onto my lap. I simply could resist; she and I must have hugged and kissed each other for ten minutes straight without saying a single word between us. Nothing really needed to be said, of course, as the love coursing both through and all around us was imminent and wonderfully powerful. It was the perfect ending to what turned out to be a truly perfect day. * * * Trish slapped me on the shoulder and giggled at the same time as she walked by the next morning in the dining room, obviously having caught me ogling at Lindsay's precious, little ass (and the spandex pants which encased it) as the intoxicating 20-year-old prepared a plate for herself at the breakfast buffet. Trish even gave me an incessant, playful stare, and waved a menacing fist my way. In return, I grinned and simply stuck my tongue out at her. I felt an arm curl itself around me from behind. I turned and was delighted to find out it was Scarlett. She quickly found my lips with her own for a slow, tongue-laced kiss, then slid around to my front and took a seat upon my knee. "Hi baby," Lindsay squealed seconds later, going right over to Trish. The two ladies hugged and shared a simple kiss as Scarlett looked on with the biggest, toothiest smile. "You pull that stunt on me again, Devvy," I then heard Kristanna's voice in the distance, getting closer, "and I will not hesitate to put you over my knee, and spank you!" "Oh really?" Devon retorted in an equally playful and jovial tone, matching her wife's. "I'd like to see you try!" Still seated on my knee, Scarlett kept an arm around my neck and shoulder as she turned to watch Kristanna and Devon enter the dining room. Pamela was close behind them. "I'll spank both of you if you don't start playing nice." Kristanna and Devon turned toward Pamela in response to those words, then both broke into a maniacal laughing fit that lasted for several seconds. "Oh Pammy!" Kristanna eventually giggled at her. "Pammy, just... hush. Really." "I come bearing gifts," Amy announced, entering from the adjacent kitchen with an entire plate full of bacon and toast. She set it down across the buffet table and encouraged us, "Come on everyone, dig in and eat up!" Trish took a slice of bacon and broke it in half, then fed it to Lindsay, who proceeded to erotically nibble on her beautiful bride's finger more than she did the food itself. Kristanna and Devon were especially playful this morning; they were gently pushing each other and acting as if they were going to break out into a fight. Amy tried to go back to the kitchen to continue cooking, but Trish intercepted her at the midway point for a very deep and pleasurable kiss. It quickly turned into a three-way kiss with Lindsay involved. Pamela drew her hand back and, with a huge smile, she cruelly smacked Kristanna's denim-clad backside with an open palm. Everyone turned and looked at them instantly; Kristanna's eyes were wide and bulging, and she could barely contain her laughter. Still, Pamela was smart. She turned and ran away in a giggling fit of her own. "Oh, you're going to get it big time!..." Kristanna yelled out in warning, before sprinting off and chasing after her. Still nestled all nice and snug upon my knee, Scarlett snickered and watched Kristanna until she disappeared around the corner. She then turned and looked at me, and smiled. "This has GOT to be the happiest family on the face of the planet," Scarlett observed. "I am just honored and thrilled beyond belief that you want me to be a part of it, Jeremy." Scarlett moved in for a kiss of her own, but held off at the last possible instant with the sound of Pamela screaming - as if she was in grave peril - somewhere off in the distance. A split-second later, there was the loud, unmistakable sound of hand-blasting-upon-ass. "That hurt, Krissy!" Pamela whined, but still giggling. "It was SUPPOSED to hurt!" she shot back. Scarlett re-focused her attention upon me and, with a big, beaming smile, followed through with the kiss. It was as if my freshly-minted fiancee suddenly realized that life could not possibly be any better than this... <<<- End of Chapter 02 ->>> ==---- -- -- -- - --- -- -- - - --- -- -- --- - -- - - - - --- -- ----== "Island Fever 4: Paradise" (c) 2015 JeremyDCP - JeremyDCP@hotmail.com Feedback is always appreciated!
