Chapter 63 -- Barbie
"Jean, you still taste the same as you did before you got pregnant." Crystal was the one that made the comment. I was merely an observer to the sapphic interaction between my wife and my fiancΓ©e.
I'd come to the same conclusion about Jean's taste from a happy effort I'd exerted in her living room a few days earlier not long after Jean told me she was pregnant. I was overjoyed. I insisted that Jean come home with me on Friday to share our news with the rest of the intentional family. I wanted her to see the reaction of the others
Jean made sure that I knew there was no doubt about the pregnancy being my doing. Yes, we'd played with Bob and Connie, but since Jean had come off the pill, she made him use a condom. We weren't particularly trying to get pregnant, but we weren't trying not to either.
After Jean told the other women, I was a forgotten entity. I wasn't even acknowledged as the sperm donor. Jean's condition had erupted from immaculate conception. While the women all talked at once with Jean as the great object of interest, I went and got myself a glass of white wine over ice, and a ginger ale for Jean.
Ross, Trish, and Kim came in the door from the patio. They'd walked over the path from next door. They set down a few things they were sharing for dinner, and the women stood and assessed the hen fest in the living room.
Trish turned to me with a smile and one question, "Jean?"
I smiled and nodded. She rushed into the fray squealing in delight that one of 'Dave's Harem' was pregnant. Kim was right behind her. Why do women's voices rise two octaves when they squeal about good news?
Ross and I bumped fists. He said, "I'm too young to be a grandfather."
"Not anymore."
My status with the women as 'sperm donor' was reestablished over dinner. The emphasis taken was that I had to shape up over the next seven months so I'd be the 'best father' EVER. I accepted that challenge, but didn't think I needed to change anything.
While Jean continued to be monopolized by the women over the weekend, I made a list of things that her pregnancy spawned in my thinking.
I wanted her to move to Florida, so she was with me more of the time, especially on our weekends. I didn't want her traveling back and forth lugging our child, diaper bags, and her own luggage everywhere, even in the corporate jet.
Jean needed to hire a replacement for herself for the Atlanta office. I couldn't think of any of the clerical staff that impressed me near as much as she did, so I suspected an outside hire. Maybe Meg could help with that. Jean would also have to give 'official' notice that she'd be taking a leave from her job. Of course, in my opinion, she could become a full-time mother, and never want for anything.
Names! We'd have to come up with a boy and girl's names for the infant. One of the first questions that people ask when they hear of your impending parenthood is, "Have you thought of a name?" I wanted to be able to state a name or two, and not sound wishy-washy with no name.
If I got Jean to move to Sarasota, what would happen to our condominium. I guessed that I'd keep living there alone three days a week unless I was making the rounds of the other offices.
I would have to talk to my lawyer. He'd laugh. I wanted to provide for Jean and our children, just as though we were married. The complicating factor was the distribution of my many assets across my wives and, in this case, fiancΓ©es.
Oh, I should 'marry' Jean. We'd have the same kind of ceremony that I did with Carol. We stayed legal as far as the state was concerned, but I made deep loving commitments to her. I hoped that Jean would do that. I wanted her to feel my love and commitment to her, and hence to our child.
Space! Good grief, how could I forget. I needed to arrange a room for Jean, and a separate nursery for our child. Tara's room was empty most of the time, and it did have an ensuite bath, but there was no attached space for a nursery. I pondered that question for a while with no immediate solution.
Later in the evening, I shared my list with Jean. She was eager to move to Sarasota, especially to be with me and everyone else that had joined our tribe. We skipped over solutions to a few of the other things on my list, such as baby names. I asked her about her expected future philosophy about her lifestyle post-delivery.
Jean said, "Just because I'm pregnant or have a child, doesn't mean I want to stop making love with the people I love. I love everyone in this clan that's seems to be growing around you, and most of them are in Sarasota. I want in, too. So, I don't plan to change anything other than for the time around my delivery while my body readjusts to carrying junior around and then expelling him or her.
Jean came in with me to the Sarasota office for work on Friday morning. She made a beeline for Alice, and the two of them squealed around for bit about Jean's new 'condition', and then they got to work.
The Friday evening crowd gathered at the house as usual. We had cocktails and dinner, and again Jean was the star of the evening. To my surprise, I heard her arranging to do a porn video with Crystal and Carol the next day. Apparently, Crystal had already gotten our friends Mitch and Bill lined up to be her partners in an M-M-F video. Being pregnant hadn't slowed Jean down a bit. Moreover, it'd be months before she started to show a baby bump.
At our evening gathering were the two newest members of the Crystal Blue Photography staff -- Dane Anders and Kent Savage. Carol whispered to me, "We didn't fuck around in the office today, so they're primed and ready to fire."
Both young men were handsome and fit, although both wore thick glasses that gave them a nerdy kind of look.
I laughed, and I could tell that she had designs on both of them for later in the evening. It was nice to fraternize with the people you worked with. I learned that Kent, for one, would also be at the videoing of Jean the next day. He was expanding his skills into the videography end of things, and not just on the artsy editing end.
I did hear about the latest video the two young men were chewing on that had come from Matt Volpetti. A couple in Minneapolis had submitted a film they made with two of their friends. The foursome consisted of two hot men and two hotter women, but the choreography of their fuck session, and the video angles were classified as 'weird', 'amateurish', and 'difficult to correct'. Kent was using a feature on one of his editing program that would let him capture only part of the screen, yet keep the video rolling. This corrected partially for some of the bad angles and sloppy photography.
