Finally, the last few chapters of this saga. Thanks to everyone who stuck with it. Of course, I know it's not to everyone's taste. That's to be expected. After all...But I've enjoyed the trip and it has done a lot for me. So, in that respect, I see it as a very minor success and fulfilling...for me. As always, a hearty thanks to Kenji for his bearing with me and his editing skills. I only hope the writing has lived up to his expectations...whatever they are/were.
Chapter 58
Three months later...
Well, who's laughing now, hmm?
I guess I did take after my mom; I
was
pregnant. When my period didn't show in two weeks, Belle bought seven different testing kits, and Maisie made me drink glass after glass of water! They were flabbergasted, as was I, if truth be told. But there was just that
inkling
on the day. I knew, just knew that I was with child.
In the meantime, we had
that
talk. Yeah, I had started this whole thing, brought us all to that dangerous precipice, so it was up to me to navigate and pull us back; try to restore some sense of equilibrium to both our relationships. Maisie, Belle and I had long talks every night, discussing the pros and cons, and me overthinking the whole debacle. Should we or shouldn't we?
Our love and commitment to each other was unquestionable. Tick one box off the list! But they both,
both
, felt this unique connection to my parents. I tried to use the same logic, as I had with Maggie; did we
really
want to, perhaps, complicate the relationship? Wasn't just having that bond enough? Weren't
we
enough? A lot of home truths were revealed, some that hurt, others not so much.
But, at the end of the day, this was family; it wasn't someone outside of us. Maisie had known my parents for years and Belle had increasingly formed this attachment to them. Sure, they helped her through her divorce, as we had, and helped her start anew, as Maisie and I hadn't. More and more, she had relied on the closeness of their relationship. And, this
was
family, so it
was
safe, wasn't it? I was willing to go either way, so kept my desires and thoughts to myself. They knew how I felt about this, so it wasn't fair for me to push or take sides.
I left them to stew for a few days and we revisited the talk. In the meantime, I talked with my moms, trying to discern what
they
were thinking. They didn't seem to be anywhere near as optimistic as Belle and Maisie.
But Maisie and Belle saw it as more of a commune of like-minded individuals, not the salacious, fuck-fest that we had somewhat turned it into when trying to get me pregnant. It would be a relationship of togetherness, support and trust. Of course, they both lusted after my parents and wanted to get laid, too! Maisie shyly admitted, after much goading, that yes, she'd like to experience what I had with my dad. I tried to explain that she could never have what I had. It wasn't possible. She understood that, but was so taken with my relationship with him, she wanted to experience that same level of intimacy. I tried to explain in vain that her relationship would be different from mine and not to set her expectations too high. That would only lead to hurt and disappointment.
So, after numerous heart-to-hearts, we all agreed. Now we just had to convince my parents. "Hmmm...Dad would be the pushover," I said, and we all giggled at that. It was moms, though. I mean, they were closer to sixty than fifty now and although their libidos were definitely still there, we wondered how far they were prepared to take this proposed continuation of our arrangement. If, and I mean
if
we did this, we had to tell my parents about our trysts with Maggie. It was only fair. We couldn't hide something as important as that.
Mom had called me, hinting at what she had decided. Yeah,
she
. But I understood that. As the V, the heart of their relationship, she ultimately had more of a say. Yeah, and she was the incessant submissive, hmm? But it was she who navigated the troubled waters they had crossed over the years. It was her whom they listened to, understood and whose advice they rarely dismissed.
She told me what they had decided and there would be no negotiations. But she wouldn't give me any details, though. Yeah, thanks, mom! She understood our roles in our relationship. Sure, we were both the submissive in our relationship, but it was
we
who held sway over the others, as everyone seemingly knew.
"I need you to back me up on this, Chloe. Okay? Just...back me up," she seriously asked, but gave me no hint on what she was going to say. Great, huh?
So we invited them over for lunch to try to hash this predicament out. As soon as Maisie and Belle saw them, I knew we were in trouble. As soon as Belle kissed mom and Maisie kissed Emily, my heart sank. Screw it, I thought and embraced my dad. He looked at me, his smile lifting my heart.
"We did it, Chloe," and engulfed me in his arms.
"I know," I shyly giggled. "I knew you could do it...daddy," I whispered, my hand chastely on his covered cock. His hand lovingly rubbed my tummy, then leaned down, planting little kisses on our growing embryo.
Mom just smirked at me and shook her head, exasperated but smiling. Everyone behaved. Well, to an extent. These were my moms and wives! The unspoken hung over the table, as we tried to remain calm and ignore the palpable tension, but we made it through the meal. Well, as far as dessert!
"Chloe? Why don't we go to the front room, hmm?" and we all followed her. Her body language was unreadable, a first for me. She had me sit next to her on one of our oversized, comfy armchairs. We sat, facing the four loves-of-our-lives, with mom's hand gently resting on my thigh.
"So. Everyone. Chloe and I have decided that the four of you will listen to us. We need you to say nothing, 'til we are through, okay?" she started, and everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
What? Did
I
decide? I must have missed
that
part of our talk!
"We have all entered into this different type of relationship. We've given ourselves to two other people. It works for us, and you. God knows how, but it does," she chuckled. "Now, as Chloe and I are the ones who hold everything together, we need you to listen. This is as important as it gets, for all of us, and how we move forward, okay? We...Tom and Emily and I have decided that we shouldn't pursue what we started. Now, just listen, all right? We're thinking of you, Chloe...and Maisie and Belle. You need to concentrate on
your
relationship. You may think you have it all figured out, but you don't. It took us years to get to this comfortable place. We'll just be in the way and cause heartache and problems," she began, Maisie and Belle's faces dropping in disappointment.
