"Oh, the heat outdoors is sweltering," Carol said as she entered Janet's home.
"Well, enter my air-conditioned home and enjoy," Janet replied.
Six months ago, twenty-four-year-old Janet had married Bob Anderson. As a wedding gift, Bob's well-to-do-father gave the young couple the down payment on a lavish eight room home with two full baths and a five-room in-law apartment attached. Bob's engineering job in his father's corporation enabled him to afford the mortgage payments. The house was in a new development in the same town in which the three age-mates Janet, Carol, and Bob had grown up.
Although the couple had only been married six months, Janet was eight months along in her first pregnancy and the bulge on her belly made her look like she was ready to deliver her baby any minute.
"What did the doctor say when you visited her yesterday," Carol asked.
"She said everything is fine and the baby will come when he's ready. But she said that I shouldn't let Bob fuck me until after the baby's born."
"How does Bab feel about that?"
"He's okay with it. I gave him a hand job this morning and he seemed content."
"Anytime you need help satisfying his sex drive, you can count on me for help," Carol said half-jokingly.
Carol had been Janet's rival for Bob's affections throughout their college days until Carol learned of Janet's pregnancy. Bob, Janet, and Carol had met during their freshman year in college and the trio, accompanied by Jack Green, had gone on many double dates during their collegiate years. Jack had joined the Marine Corps within two weeks of graduating and he married a female Marine as soon as she graduated from boot camp.
Bob had continued dating Janet regularly. When Janet announced her pregnancy, they hastened their wedding date. They had a somewhat lavish wedding, paid for by Bob's wealthy father, and Carol was the maid-of-honor.
Janet cocked her head for a moment after Carol's last comment. Janet thought and then spoke. "Would you like to come live with us and let Bob make love with you? Bob and I have the in-law apartment. You can live there and Bob can visit you whenever you and he want. Like, you could be Bob's second wife and pretend to be my spinster sister."
"Yeah, I'd like that but what if Bob knocks me up?"
"I would tell our nosy neighbors that my sister is a whore. We could raise the children as siblings. Bob makes good money. One of us could work while the other took care of the children. We could pull it off with no trouble."
Janet hesitated in her speech, then as an afterthought said, "Only if you want to."
"Oh, I love your Bob. I'm very jealous of you. I could go along with your idea but how would Bob feel about it?"
"I'm so confident that he will accept the idea that let's move you out of your apartment right now and into the in-law apartment. We'll surprise him when he comes home from work."
