BLIND LEADING BLIND Chapter 4 I walked into the bedroom and saw Diane and Cathy sitting on the bed. Diane was naked and Cathy was topless. Diane was fondling one of Cathy's breasts and sucking on the other. Cathy was rubbing the back of Diane's head and had a bemused look on her face. As I walked into the room, Diane lifted her head from Cathy's tit and faced over in my direction. "Justine was right Aaron, Cathy really does have big tits, and boy are they fun. I can't wait to see how she tastes." "Don't you think you should ask her first?" "Oh yeah. May I please taste you Cathy?" As she was saying this Diane had continued massaging Cathy's tits and was talking into her neck right under her ear. "As you consider it Cathy, you might want to taste her too. Diane has a unique flavor. I don't have a lot of experience, but she is delicious." Cathy looked up at me and said, "I've never done it with a girl before Aaron. What do I do?" "Just relax and lay back. Diane will take charge. She and Justine do this quite often. I can't be ready all the time after all." Cathy just sighed and leaned back onto the bed. Diane reached over and pulled Cathy's slacks and panties down and off. She then knelt between Cathy's legs and began to nuzzle between her thighs. I took off my clothes and went to the other side and climbed onto the bed. I took over on Cathy's tits where Diane had left off. It didn't take long for Cathy to have her first orgasm. I had barely moved to the other tit when she started gasping and shivering. She let out a wail and shuddered. Diane moved out from between Cathy's legs and I shifted her over to the far side of the bed so I could give my attention to Diane. "Oh Aaron, she is so different from Justine. She responds at different areas and the taste is just as nice but not the same. I could tell the difference even if you hadn't had Justine shave." "I know dear, every woman is unique. It depends as much on their introduction to sex as much as it is physical. All Cathy has known is rape. Any tenderness shown to her will reap large rewards. How did you like your first experience with a woman, Cathy?" "That was so gentle, you were very kind Aaron, but Diane was coaxing me instead of driving or demanding. I could just relax and be at peace. Thank you Diane, that was wonderful." "You are welcome, Dear, maybe you would like to clean me up after Aaron is done. Justine and I both love cream pies." While this conversation was going on I was moving Diane up onto her knees and positioning myself behind her. As far into her pregnancy as she was, missionary position was just not comfortable. She was already very wet from licking Cathy and all I needed to do was rub my cock in her substantial juices and enter her. As I started to move in her, Diane rocked back an forth with me. After long experience with Diane I varied my speed to coincide with the spasms within her vagina. Doing this I could bring her almost to orgasm and then keep her at that peak to intensify the climax. Cathy roused herself enough to reach over and play with Diane's little titties. She shifted herself around so as to lick the aforementioned titties. "You might want to be careful Cathy. Those puppies are primed and loaded." "What do you mean Aaron?" "I mean that Diane is already lactating; unless you want a taste you might not want to suck." "Ohh, that sounds naughty, I just have to give that a try. Putting action to words Cathy grabbed a nipple and proceeded to suck. "Have you tried this Aaron?" "Sure he has dear", Diane said, "but he doesn't like it nearly as much as Justine does. Justine says that by drinking my milk it will put a part of me into her child. I don't really subscribe to that theory but that's all right, I enjoy feeding Justine anyway." Cathy looked up momentarily, "This is such a sweet taste; not at all like cow's milk. I love it." "You are welcome to come back anytime Cathy, I'm not due for another month and Justine should start lactating soon as well. OOOOHH AARON!! YES YES YES, HARDER, FUCK ME HARDER." After her first orgasm, I lay Diane on her side and spooned in behind her for a long leisurely fuck. This was much more comfortable for her but she usually didn't have time for this when we started; she wanted the first one to go quicker than this position allowed. As we moved together Cathy was shifting around and touching Diane everywhere, to include where we were joined. I could feel her fingers and lips there while I reached up to fondle Diane's tits. Cathy kept her concentration on the juncture of us as I started to speed up and stayed right with us as both Diane and I climaxed. When I pulled out Cathy even cleaned me up with her mouth. "Oh wow, what a taste." Diane rolled onto her back and raised her knees. "Try it down here Cathy, Justine and I love the mixed flavor of Aaron's cum and our juices." Cathy dove into Diane's crotch and started licking like a dervish. Her ass was waving in the air at the foot of the bed and after I recovered I moved down and used my hand to increase her excitement. Her pussy was a swamp. It wasn't nearly this wet when I had made love to her earlier. I guess she was learning what it felt like to feel good. Soon she and Diane were both shuddering in release and Cathy flopped over onto the bed beside Diane. I moved over to Diane's other side and lay down. "I could see what you meant Aaron. You had total concentration on Diane; all that mattered was her pleasure. No one could ever love me like that." "Don't be so sure of that dear. David will be just as attentive if you give him the chance. He has had a crush on you since sixth grade, but you have to let him see that you are now much more than the girl he fell for, and that you are not unattainable." We actually slept for a couple of hours, and then got up and ate. While we ate we talked about relationships, and love, and how to balance the two. Diane and I tried to get Cathy ready for the meeting with David tonight without making her so nervous she would collapse before we got there. I don't know what ruse Justine used to get David to the restaurant, but at 7 on the dot, the three of us were sitting at a table with Cathy's back to the door when Justine and David entered. I got up and met them a few steps away from the table. Justine reached out and gave me a big hug and a kiss that would fry eggs. "I'm so sorry Aaron; I'll never test you like that again. My Good Samaritan intentions stepped in front of my common sense and got us all into trouble. I really had no idea that you had a history with Cathy, or just how much trouble she had had." "That's all right, dear heart, it may work out for the best for all of us, but for now go over and apologize to Cathy while David and I have a little conversation." Justine moved over to the table and I took David's arm and went to the bar. "Look here Aaron, I don't know what you and your girls have got in mind, but I don't fancy being set up with another loser to salve your conscience. I'll find a girl on my own thank you; I don't need your help." "I know you will old friend. But then when you start to get serious about her, you'll think about Cathy Campbell and the romance will fall apart again. No woman in the world can stand up to your image of her, not even Cathy herself." "It's not as bad as all that now. I haven't thought about Cathy in years. I'm over that boyhood crush." "Then why did you call Diane by her name when you two were out shopping? She told me you know. She wasn't hurt, just confused." "Shit! She said that I did that? I didn't know that I had." "It's all right bud. We actually do understand." "I'll apologize to her later, but why are you bringing this up now? I thought you had me over here for a blind date. Why bring up Cathy now?" "David, until you get her out of your system, no other woman has a chance. That is why she is over at our table waiting for you." The look on his face just then was almost comical. I've seen that look in cartoons, but never in real life. "Hold it David! Before you think about running out; I've got a few things to tell you. Number one is that Cathy has been hurt, and hurt badly. She needs someone to help her find herself again. The only men she has ever been with have been assholes. She doesn't realize that her beauty keeps her isolated from guys who might actually care about her. The only men who ask out girls like her are conceited bastards who don't know how to love. She needs help and doesn't even know how to ask." "How do you know all this Aaron? What suddenly made you an expert on love? Last year you couldn't get a date with a hundred dollar bill hanging out of your pocket." "I have love now friend, and it feels so good I want to spread it around. This is your big chance to either have Cathy, or get over her. Don't blow it from fear. You may not think that you are good enough for her, but you are better than she has ever had. She just doesn't know it yet. Please come on over to the table and give it a chance. What do you have to lose?" All the time I was speaking David was gazing at the table with the three girls at it in a kind of a daze. His features would switch back and forth from fear to adoration. He allowed me to tow him over to the table with only a little hesitation. I felt like I was leading a little boy to his doom. When we got to the table he couldn't even look up at her face. He was so afraid of what her expression would tell him. I knew that he was afraid of rejection. I didn't know what to do to break the ice. Luckily Diane was there. "Hello David. We have someone we would like you to meet. This young lady is Cathy Campbell. She needs a date tonight and we thought of you. I hope you won't let us down." David looked up then and his eyes met Cathy's. It was all over but the shouting then. David sat down without moving his gaze and Cathy seemed to melt in place. The silence was just starting to get embarrassing when I heard a voice that made my blood run cold. "Well look who's here, it's the slut of the town." Of all the luck, it was Rickey Blakely. He sounded drunk and had walked up behind Cathy. He reached out and pushed her shoulder. "Hey bitch, I'm talking to you. Be nice to your brother-in-law or I may have to take it out on your frigid sister. What in the hell are you doing sitting here with the freak show? I've never seen such a gathering of losers in my life." Just then David reached up and took Rickey's wrist in his hand and clamped down. Blakely got a panicked look on his face and tried to pull away, but was unable to move as much as an inch. "Get your hand off me tubby. I’ll kick your fat ass." David looked up at Rickey and coldly said, "If you want to use that hand again you'll apologize to my date. I couldn't do much of anything about it years ago when you talked shit about her, but I can now; and if you don’t apologize to her I will damage you." "What the hell are you talking about? I don't know you, you tub of lard." "The name is David Jenkins asshole. The kid you used to beat up all the time back in school." David must have squeezed harder then, because Rickey let out a squeak and his face got dead white. I broke out laughing. I couldn't have scripted a better way to get David and Cathy together. Cathy was obviously still afraid of Rickey, and David was most definitely not. After he got done humiliating Blakely, Cathy would see that she could feel safe with him. I stifled my laughter and said, "I can't believe that you are still around Blakely. How have you survived being so stupid? If you would open your eyes you would see that the man who has a hold of your hand is not the chubby little boy you used to beat up for standing up for Cathy. While you were descending into oblivion he spent some time working for Uncle Sam. He now knows hundreds of ways to inflict pain and would love any excuse to use them on you." Rickey looked at me like I was insane. "And in case you are considering trying to make him let go, he teaches martial arts and can bench press a Buick." Blakeley's eyes got real wide and he sputtered out an apology to Cathy, at which time David let him go. Rickey walked away rubbing his wrist and muttering something about Cathy's little sister. David looked over at Cathy, "what is that he's saying about your sister? Is Stephany in danger?" "Yes she is. They are married and have a little girl, Bethany. He beats Stephy from time to time, she is scared to call the cops because most of them know Rickey and won't do anything." David pulled out his cell phone and pushed a button. "What is her address?" When Cathy told him he spoke into the phone. "Gail, get the relief team over to three one two five Shasta Drive. They are to stay there and wait for the police to arrive. If they hear any violence within the house they are allowed to interfere." He then hung up and handed the phone to Cathy. "Call your sister and tell her that some people are on the way and will be there to help her. If Rickey does anything to threaten her she is to scream bloody murder and let the men in when they get to her door." "But what about the police?" "I'll take care of the police. The first thing to do is to get Stephy safe. She was always nice to me when I was mooning over you and I hate to think of her with that scum." Cathy did as he asked and handed him the phone back. David pressed another button on the phone. "Hello Bill? This is David Jenkins. Have you had calls from Shasta Drive, Blakely residence, for domestic violence?” … “You have, and why weren't they followed up?” … “Well he is on the way over there with a lot of drunken anger I may have had something to do with. There will be charges made this time and I will make them stick. If he puts so much as a finger on her he will pay.” … “Yes, you need to dispatch a car. One of mine will already be there to help out. Thank you, I'll keep you in mind." David stood up and took Cathy's hand. "We need to go over there and get a handle on the situation. Thank you Aaron, Justine, and Diane for setting this up, and remember that paybacks are a bitch." Justine looked over at me and asked, "What the hell was that all about? What the hell happened here?" I looked at her, "My best friend David finally got the attention of the woman he has loved for the last 12 years. He has also gotten the attention of the woman who has loved him for the last 12 years. Rickey Blakely abused both of them and David is going to clean his clock into next Thursday. Unless I miss my guess he is going to end up with both of them in love with him and he won't be jealous of me any more. By this time next year he'll probably be married to Cathy and have Stephany pregnant again." Diane asked, "Why would he have Stephany pregnant and not Cathy?" Justine spoke up, "Cathy can't get pregnant, she had a botched abortion a few years ago." "Now ladies, I need some answers. We could just go on as we have been, but I don't feel comfortable raising my children in this situation." Justine spoke with her eyes cast down. "If your proposal still stands, I would be very glad to accept it now. But first I have to apologize for getting you into this the situation with Cathy. I really thought that I could boost your confidence and help a friend know what a real man was like. I didn't want anyone to get hurt. I just didn't think it through." "What hurt the most Justine was your lack of faith in me, thinking that I wanted to marry you because I was unable to get anyone better. I suppose I could feel the same; that you stay with me because I am the first man to pay you any attention. I don't know how it happened that we three got together, but it is fate that we are. I love you both for who you are inside. I hope that you feel the same for me, but my life would not be complete without both of you and our children in it. I want all of us to live together and share our love." They were both crying by this time. "To this end we need a bigger place to live, and I want you both to move in with me. I have an appointment Monday with a realtor to look at a few houses I think will work for us. It is your option, Justine, as to whether we get married before or after the baby is born." "I say that we do it before, Aaron. Diane, will you consent to be my co-wife? We will share Aaron in all things and Aaron will be father of record for your children. You will live with us and help raise the children. I love you as much as I do Aaron, and I want you to be my wife as well as his." "Yes, yes, and yes. If you wait till I'm slim again, just a few of weeks, I can be your bridesmaid and help with the honeymoon." "That sounds like a plan to me girls. Right now let us finish dinner and go to my place for some sleep. Since we missed our bowling this morning; how about we spend some time at the alley tomorrow to unwind?" Both girls thought that was a good plan. I didn’t expect much for when we got home, I was still tired and I knew that neither of my women had gotten much sleep the night before. Despite my doubts, it didn't take long after we got to my place before all three of us were naked on the bed. I was feasting on Diane's luscious cunt while Justine was drinking her milk. I looked up and caught Justine's eye. I signaled for her to take over for me. When she had moved between Diane's thighs I moved around behind her and slid into her sweet pussy. Every time I thrust into Justine, her face would press into Diane's cunt. Diane started talking to me. "Fuck her Aaron, fuck her hard. Make her know who her man is. She humiliated you and distrusted you. Make sure she knows who she belongs to. Fuck her ass. She needs to be taken all the way. After I have my kids you are going to fuck my ass too. Make us yours." I hadn't really thought about anal sex before, but in the heat of the moment it sounded good to me. There was a bottle of baby oil on the nightstand for rubbing into their pregnant bellies. I grabbed it and squirted it directly into Justine's anus. Pulling out of her pussy I squirted some on my cock and then pushed my thumb into Justine's ass hole. "How does that feel babe? Do you like my thumb in your ass? How about my dick? Do you want that in your ass?" "Yes Aaron, that feels fantastic, put your cock in there now. Fuck my ass Aaron, make me yours. I'll never doubt you again." Putting words to action I pressed my cock into her anus until the head popped through. Holding in place a minute to let her become accustomed, I then started to move slowly. Every thrust was a little deeper until my thighs were slapping against her ass cheeks. I couldn't believe the difference from her pussy. Instead of grasping my member the whole length like her pussy would, her ass just had pressure at the rectum. I could feel her poop chute with the head of my dick, but it was just there, no real pressure. The feeling was intense as all get out and I wasn't going to last long. Diane was screaming her orgasm when I felt the end approaching. My balls started to tingle and my cock felt like it had gotten harder by about 20 percent. Justine had moved her face out of Diane's hairy cunt and was panting and blowing like she was giving birth. Her hand was between her legs and as I started to come I almost didn't because her anus closed down so much the sperm had to build up enough pressure to get out. It was the strongest release I could remember, almost painful because she was squeezing so tightly. That was it for that night. After Justine and I cleaned up in the bathroom; I cuddled up to Diane's back and placed my hands over her distended abdomen. Justine spread her long body along side of mine and we slept for the first time as a family. David: I could kick myself for not paying attention to the Campbells. Poor Stephany was married to Rickey Blakely and somehow he had damaged Cathy. The anger I had at that man had festered in my soul for years. I was going to have to be careful that I didn’t give in to it. It looked like I was going to have two women to take care of and my going to jail would not be a good thing. I had kept a peripheral observation of Cathy, she was never entirely out of my mind. I knew that she worked in a large insurance company and didn’t date much, but I wasn’t aware of any problems that she had. I was uncomfortably aware of her hand on my arm as I led her to my Durango. As soon as I started up my beast the scanner came on and I heard the dispatcher send a car to a possible domestic disturbance on Shasta Drive. Cathy buckled in and I put it in gear. “Can you direct me to your sister’s house from here?” When she nodded her assent, I moved on out of the parking lot. She pointed me in the right direction and hung on to the passenger strap tight as I wasn’t wasting any time. I saw the charger with my company logo parked in front of a tan split-level national home. These houses were pretty nice when they were first built in the 60’s, but by now they were running down and the area could best be described as a high priced slum to be. No sooner had I parked behind the car than a scream was heard from inside the house and my people jumped out of the car and ran to the house. I told Cathy to stay in the car and followed them. The door to the house crashed open and a blonde woman carrying a child came running out into the yard. She ran into the arms of one of my people. Behind her Blakely ran out of the house yelling something. My worker stepped in front of Rickey and the drunken fool tried to hit my guy. My people all receive training in self defense and most of them hold black belts in one discipline or another. Blakely was quickly on his back and silent. My man, Everson I saw now, stood back and waited for Rickey to regain his breath. This is the tableau that the police saw as they pulled up in front of the house. When he was able to talk again, Blakely tried to accuse us of causing the trouble, but the big hand print on Stephany’s face and the matching one on the child’s back told a different tale. The police put Rickey into cuffs and placed the raging punk into the back of their car. One of them called in the situation while the other came over to talk to Stephany. “Are you willing to press charges, Miss? The last time this happened you wouldn’t.” Steph looked over at Cathy and me, “Tell her yes, Cathy, I’ll protect her.” Cathy looked at me with a question in her eyes, “Are you sure, David? You hardly know us and Rickey has some very dangerous friends.” “So do I, Cathy, and my friends can trump his any day. Now tell your sister to press charges or I’m going to have to kill that slime ball.” Cathy gave me a startled look, then addressed her sister, “Go ahead, Stephy, David says he’ll protect you.” Stephany nodded her head and told the officer that yes, she would press charges. After that I informed the men that I would bring her down to the station tomorrow and they left with Blakely in the cruiser. I went over to Stephany, “Pack a bag for you and the kid, Steph. You are staying with me tonight.” I turned to her sister, “Cathy, it’s your choice as to where you stay. I don’t think Blakely is likely to go after you right away, but I’ll assign a team to watch over you if you wish.” Cathy didn’t even pause, “I think my sister and I should take the chance to get to know you again, David. I’ll stay with you as long as the offer is still open.” “Okay then, help her out and we’ll go.” I turned to my people “Everson, you and Thomas go on back to the ready room, and thank you for acting so quickly and appropriately. I don’t think I could have restrained myself as well as you did.” They both waved at me and headed back to their car. I turned around and the girls were gone. I waited outside the front door for about 15 minutes, and then Cathy brought two suitcases out to the porch. “Take these, David, I’ll be right back.” I shrugged and took the cases to the back of my Durango. These damn things were heavy, what was she packing for an overnight stay? I got back to the porch just in time for Cathy to bring out a couple of garbage bags. “What the hell is going on, Cathy?” “Stephy says that she will not come back to this house for any reason. If you can’t protect her, then she is leaving town.” She got a kind of smirk on her face, “Bethany wants to know if you are going to be her new daddy. What should I tell her, David?” I think my jaw hit the ground. I had no idea what to say. Cathy laughed and went back into the house. I took the bags to the car and tried to figure out how all this had happened. I wasn’t sure whether I owed Aaron a favor or a beating, only time would tell. When I got back to the door, Cathy was waiting with another pair of bags. “Here, David, take one of these, they are the last. Come on Stephy, let’s go see your new home.” When did I get suckered into housing Stephany and her child? Oh well, I did say that I would protect her. We weren’t a big enough organization to have a safe house, just my place. Stephany went over to the car in the driveway and pulled out a child’s car seat. I’m glad she thought of it, because I certainly didn’t have one in my SUV. Cathy carried the last two bags and Stephany and the little girl followed us. After the seat and child were secure, we took off. My house and company offices were in the farmhouse and barn left to me by my Grandfather. He also left me enough money to start my security company. I headed on out McCarty Lane to the house. “So tell me, Stephany, how did you end up marrying Blakely? I thought you hated the way he treated Cathy.” “I did, David…” Cathy turned around and held her hand up to stop Stephany from talking. “Let’s just say that he tricked her into marrying him, David, and now she wants to get away from him. Do you really need to know any more than that?” “I didn’t mean to pry, girls. I spent most of my time in high school hating that asshole and now I find that one of the sweetest girls I ever knew was married to him. I don’t understand how that could be, that’s all.” “Why did you hate him, David? I didn’t think you two had anything in common,” Cathy asked. I sighed, this is not the conversation I wanted to have with my perfect woman. “Let’s just say that we disagreed on something and let it go at that, Cathy. This is my house and there is plenty of room for all three of you. I don’t have anything to take care of a child though, so I hope you brought all you will need.” “Its marvelous, David. It may be a little late to ask this, but do you have someone waiting here for you, David?” “No, Stephany, there is no one waiting except for the dispatcher on duty. As long as I don’t call over to the office, they won’t bother me. I imagine that Everson and Thomas have let everyone know what is going on by now.” I shook my head as we entered my house, “There are four bedrooms on the second floor, take your pick. I’ll bring in the bags and when you are ready, we’ll see what there is to eat in the kitchen.” “Which room is yours, David?” “I have the downstairs room, Cathy. You may want to dust the beds upstairs, no one has used them for a while.” “And if I don’t want to stay upstairs, David?” “Then I’ll take the couch, Cathy. I don’t think I’m ready to go where you seem to be headed.” I sighed and decided on honesty, “I’ve had a crush on you since I met you all those years ago, and the idea that you are ready to fall into my arms just doesn’t feel right.” I turned to Stephany, “And I know that you left something, or I should say a lot of things, out about your relationship with Rickey. I will house you and protect you as long as you need it, but I don’t know about going any farther until I know more. You were always nice to me, Stephany, and I do want to help you, but I need some honesty here.” Cathy started crying and sat down on the couch. Bethany went over to her and hugged her leg. “Don’t cry, Aunty Cathy, my new daddy is going to take care of us. Aren’t you, Daddy?” Oh damn, how do you say no to that? “Yes, Dear, I’m going to take care of you. But I’m not your daddy, Honey, I’m just a friend.” “But Mommy said that you were going to take us away from bad Daddy. Don’t you want to be my new Daddy?” “It’s not that, Bethany, your Mommy has a big say in that, and I don’t think that she wants me to be more than a friend.” I turned to Cathy, “What is the matter, Cathy? Aaron said that you had been hurt, but he wouldn’t say anything more about it. Is there anything I can do to help?” “I doubt it, David. I don’t think anyone can help me now, but I thank you for wanting to try. For now, we’ll do as you ask and maybe it will all work out for the best.” She stood up and took Bethany’s hand, “Come on, Punkin’, let’s get you into bed. David will be here in the morning for you to talk to.” The three headed toward the stairs with little Bethany looking over her shoulder at me and waving. I headed out to get the bags, looks like my life has just gotten a lot more interesting. I brought in the bags from the car and went into the kitchen to make something to eat. I decided on one of my dad’s favorite things, a pancake supper. I made up a supply of batter and started the griddle heating. By the time the girls had come down I had a stack done and sausage heating to go with them. I piled a small stack in front of each of them, put the syrup and sausage on the table then sat down with my own stack. “All right girls, shall we talk a bit more? Cathy, all I know is that you left school after the prom, everyone figured that you had gone to get an abortion or to have a baby. How right were they?” “Not at all, David. That happened the summer before our senior year, it was an abortion and it was botched, I can never have children now. I was attacked after the prom and I spent the next couple of months recovering.” She could see that I was getting hot by her statement, so she pleaded, “Please don’t react too much, David. Aaron didn’t want me to tell you because he was afraid you might go off half cocked.” “Aaron, huh? The boy doesn’t have much faith in me, does he? What about you, Stephany? How did Blakely trick you?” Stephany looked at her sister and sighed, “One of his friends asked me to go with him and I agreed. He must have spiked my drink, because the next thing I knew I was in the back seat of Rickey’s car and we had had sex. Our parents were scared of him and his friends, so they wouldn’t do anything. When I came up pregnant, they insisted that he marry me. I had to quit school, and I have been in hell ever since. I liked it when he went out with other women because he wouldn’t want me as much. I’ve fought his domination at every turn, and paid for it in blood and bruises.” She paused for a moment, “Don’t blame Cathy too much, David. She is a very submissive personality and she wasn’t able to fight Rickey. He realized the truth about her early on and exploited it to the max. The only way she has stayed out of the clutches of another Rickey is to reject all men, but it gets harder all the time.” I sat and pondered what they had told me, then I spoke, “Cathy, one of the reasons I hated Blakely so much was that your sex life was open season at school. Every Monday Rickey would come in to the locker room and tell everyone what you had done over the weekend. About once a month I would take exception to what he said, and he would beat me up. I could never understand why you put up with him. Now I think I get it.” I got up and started putting the dishes in the sink, “As for you, Stephany. I am highly upset with your parents, but I’ll leave that up to you to deal with. As for Mister Rickey Blakely, I think that he is about to encounter a strong run of bad luck. We are going into town in the morning and swear out warrants against him, but they won’t keep him in jail long. His first problem is going to be a car accident, where he shatters both kneecaps. Then he’ll fall down some stairs and break both arms. I think after that he might fall out of bed and break a collarbone or two and his nose. When he is about done recovering from all of that, I’ll visit him and let him know that his bad luck might come to an end if he leaves the state, immediately. Otherwise his luck could get a lot worse. His friends are likely to find that they are having a lot of trouble with their balance and coordination as well, and a new location will help a lot.” I looked over at the girls. They were staring at me, “I’m not going to do anything foolish and get caught, but you won’t have to worry about him any more. Then we can get you two situated better. For now, you are welcome to stay here.” Suddenly I was surrounded by two crying females. Aaron: Then next day dawned to a new commitment between the three of us. For one thing, I was suddenly the boss. Not so much in name as in attitude. The girls deferred to me whenever there was reason to and I had to make the decisions, because they just wouldn't. It was very subtle, but it was also obvious that they had determined that it had to be this way. There could only be one boss, they would insert their opinions, but they never voiced dissent with my decision. It took me a few hours to realize what was happening, but by then I could see that we were working together so much better that I wasn't going to say anything and upset the applecart. The first house we looked at was in a subdivision on the southeast of town. My objection was that it was a split-level with too many stairs for Diane to have to deal with. Justine didn't like how close we were to the neighbors and how we couldn't expand if we wanted to. Diane asked why we wanted her along since she couldn't really tell anything about a house. I told her that if she wasn't comfortable in the house then we didn't want it, no matter what else was good about it. I got a kiss for that, a steamer, from Diane, and a hug from Justine. The next house was it. It didn't matter what else was to be shown, this was the one. It was set on four acres just south of town on Ninth Street, a moderately busy road. The house was set back from the road with some pine trees blocking the noise and view. It was four large bedrooms with three baths, a dining room, and a family room. All of this was on a single level in an L shape. The kitchen, living room, and dining rooms were in one leg, with the bedrooms and family room in the other. There was also a large basement that had been fixed up into 3 guest bedrooms and a large playroom with a pool table. There was a large outbuilding with power and water just behind the house and a 2 & 1/2 car garage on the end of the kitchen L. The whole back acre had been landscaped with enough trees left to insure privacy. The neighbors had similar arrangements and we couldn't even see their houses from the windows of our house. The price was a little steeper than I had in mind, but Justine said that we could do it if I wanted. She obviously loved the place, and Diane was able to walk from one room to another without any problems at all. When she went out onto the patio and smelled the fresh air scented with pine she agreed that this was our new home. ************** What the hell was I thinking? Here I was in the delivery room with Diane and she was having trouble. Her poor skinny little legs were spread wide and there were three doctors standing in the room. One was standing between her legs and there was another on each side, and they were all looking straight into her vagina. Dr. Brooks, her obstetrician, had broken his hand the day before playing golf and was unable to do his duty. Diane was having trouble and it looked like the twins would have to be removed using forceps. Doctor Brooks had asked his friend to be the doctor of record and deliver the babies with his guidance. The problem was that he had never done a delivery with forceps and was unwilling to experiment with Diane. The only other doctor available who was familiar with the technique was not licensed to practice in the state and could not be the doctor of record. While all this was going on my poor darling Diane was turning purple trying to push our children into the world. I was standing at the head of the delivery table holding her hand and feeling helpless. I never knew how strong her grip could be. This was definitely going to leave a bruise. The oddest thing is that I was looking at her crotch and it looked so strange. They had shaved her from knees to belly button. For the first time ever I saw her without hair and she looked naked, like hairless cat. After three hours of Diane being in labor, the doctors finally decided that they were going to have to help her deliver the kids. As the strange doctor in between her legs grabbed the forceps and started toward her the first child's head crowned. He dropped the tools and held his hands under Diane and helped the child into the world. As the red little gremlin slithered out of Diane's vagina I thought my heart was going to stop. This was my child. The doctor handed it off to a nurse and she held the child up and proclaimed that it was a girl. Just then the second baby was slowly pushed out of Diane's body, another girl. We had twin girls; 7 lb 3 ounce Jill and 7 lb 1 once Julia. Both had dark brown hair already on their heads and were squalling with amazing vigor. "Let me feel them. Let me feel my babies." The nurses brought both girls over to Diane and placed them on her chest. The smile she gave was as bright as daylight. "Are they beautiful Aaron? Are our girls going to be pretty?" "They are gorgeous dear. You do good work honey. They are perfect." Of course they looked just like all newborns. Red and tiny and with their eyes shut, hair messed up, and wrinkly little hands and feet pulled in tight. I just hoped that they weren't blind like their mother. If they were, then we would deal with it. It's not like we had no practice after living with Diane for the last few months. The whole house was set up with her in mind. Everything was placed with the idea that Diane would have to navigate so nothing was out of place and there were aisles past all obstacles. Clutter was just not allowed. I thanked the Doctors for their work and stood next to Diane looking like an idiot. As the doctors walked out our wife entered the room. Justine was not far from her own delivery and waddled in wearing the same garb as I had on. A cap and mask with a disposable gown covering her and socks on over her shoes. Tall slender Justine looked so funny dressed up that way I almost laughed, but I had learned to control myself better than that. An emotional pregnant woman did not have much of a sense of humor. I had learned that lesson well having two of them in the same house. If being pregnant had not made them increasingly horny as the months went by I would probably have checked in to a motel till the kids were born. Two nurses took the children away to be processed as another one took care of the delivery of the placentas and the rest of the mess that is childbirth. Justine and I both kissed Diane and told her how proud we were of her. Diane, for her part, settled back and fell asleep as the anesthetic they had given her in the IV drip did its work. During the next few weeks I was grateful that Diane's mother Madge had come to spend so much time with us. She wanted nothing more than to help take care of her daughter and grand daughters. Justine was too big to be much help and I was worthless. I did what I could, but that wasn't much in my opinion. As soon as Diane could walk again, Justine and I were married. David was my best man and Diane was the maid of honor. Bethany carried flowers down the aisle at the Justice of the peace and both Campbell girls were there as well. It looked like David had an interesting family shaping up as well. I had heard rumors that Blakely was having some problems, but no suspicion was being pointed at David. Three weeks later I was back in the same delivery room where Diane had been with the same doctors watching Justine have a nearly effortless birth. The extra doctor was not needed this time, but Dr. Brooks' hand was still in a cast so he had his friend do the actual delivery. Mark was in such a hurry that he was crowning on the way to the delivery room. This caused a minor problem because he was delivered in what they considered to be non-sterile conditions. This meant that he had to spend an extra day in pediatric care after being thoroughly washed. Unlike the girls, Mark had to be encouraged to cry. He was a quiet and unusually calm baby. Diane didn't want another child right away, but Justine did. No sooner were we back from the hospital with Mark than she wanted me to put another one in her. Two months later disaster struck when Diane’s dad had a heart attack and died on the way to the hospital. Madge and Diane were both devastated, and only the joy of having the children around kept them sane. Madge moved in with us after that and the kids just loved her. Madeline's birth was just as easy as Mark's had been. We now had four children within 13 months of each other; one boy and three girls. Jill and Julia were not blind like their mother, but they looked very similar to her. They were dark haired and even at the age of two they were sprouting hair on their arms and legs. They were already smaller than their brother and sister and I could see that they were going to be scary smart. They were forming words and sentences while the other two were still babbling. Grandma Madge was so proud of her four grandkids I could swear she was going to burst some times. She made no distinction between her daughter's girls and Justine's two. They were all the same as far as she was concerned. I was still working for the same company and had moved into Tom’s position after his death. I was working four ten hour days and got three days off every week. I loved how our life was coming together, but of course change is the way of nature, nothing is static. (to be continued)
