Sue, Xi and I went back to Mary's room and Xi shared the news with her. Mary was so happy for us both. We sat as the women talked about baby things and I just enjoyed the banter between them. After a bit I mentioned we needed to go get ready for dinner and we took turns giving Mary a big hug and a kiss.

We got to the hotel the family had secured rooms in. The family booked all four of the penthouse suites on the restricted access top floor and everyone had settled in, gotten showers, and dressed for the evening out. Sue, Xi, and I quickly washed and dressed. We all got into our vehicles and quickly made our way to the hospital where we met S.D. and his wife Dorothy. Jim was standing with them and their two children.
I jumped out of the car and quickly introduced myself to Dorothy and the kids, kneeling down to be at their eye level, "Hi! I am Ambassador Harry Walker! I understand you two are fans of mine?"
The young boy smiled and offered me his hand, "Yes sir! You are a great hero! I always play you when we play good guys and bad guys!"
The young daughter was a bit shy, so I asked her, "What is your name, young lady?"
She sheepishly replied, "Janet."
I asked, "Well, Janet, would you like to have someone take a picture of us so you can show your friends?"
She lit up then and nodded, "My class will be very excited when I show them our picture!"
"Can I lift the two of you up so we can get my whole family and your whole family together? Jim, would you do the honors?"
The young man and his sister ran to my arms and I held them up, groaning theatrically at how big they were as I stood. Everyone gathered around us and Jim took several pictures with both mom's and dad's phones.
"Ambassador Walker, this is my wife, Dorothy. Dorothy, this is Ambassador Walker and his wives, Xi and Sue. I am sorry, gentlemen and ladies, we have not been introduced."
"Xi gently corrected S.D. saying, "I am so sorry, but Xi is Master's second wife and should always be mentioned second after first wife."
Sue hugged Xi and explained, "Xi is national Chinese and is still adapting to her new life. This is James, my father, Leesie, my mother, Barbara, Harry's mother, and the rest of these gentlemen are in a business where their names are not shared publicly."
Dorothy shook everyone's hand and said, "I have so many questions!"
I laughed and said, "Dorothy, S.D., Sue, Xi, and I will be in the second car with two security persons. I thought Jim would enjoy riding with Dad, Leesie, Barbara, and the kids in the third car and security driving the first and third cars in the motorcade. That okay?"
The young boy pulled on my pants, "Can we ride with you, Mr. Walker?"
"Well, I was going to ride with the both of you on the way back from dinner! Your parents and I have some adult things to talk about. Is that okay?"
"Promise we can ride with you on the way back?"
I held out my little finger, "I pinky promise!"
We did the pinky shake and the trip home was now set in stone... much to the amusement of all the adults.
Dorothy asked, "will the children be safe?"
I smiled and nodded, "These are armored vehicles and the security people with them are the best in the world at what they do."
Dorothy asked, "Are you fellas private security?"
L.T. spoke up and said, "No, Ma-am. We are U.S. Navy SEALs. We are part of a squad who protects the Ambassador."
"YOU ARE SEALs?" The little boy exclaimed.
L.T. laughed and said, "You betcha young man! Come ride with us and we can tell some stories on the way to dinner!"
Sue laughed and said, "Ouch! I think you just got upstaged, Harry!"
We all laughed as we got into the vehicles and headed to dinner.
Dorothy asked, "Do you three mind if I ask you some personal questions?"
"Do you mind, Sue or Xi?"
Sue replied, "Fire away!"
Xi remained quiet so I asked her again, "Xi, I really would like your honest thoughts on the matter."
"Master, second wife will follow her Master's lead, though she would prefer anything revealed be kept to just us in the car."
"Dorothy and S.D. can you agree with that request?"
They both agreed and Dorothy began by asking, "Two wives?"
I nodded and smiled, "Yes. Sue and I have been close since elementary school and were next door neighbors all our lives. Xi was the last remaining member of her family after I, sorry to say, had to eliminate her uncle in an operation I cannot talk about. According to ancient Chinese tradition I was bound by honor to accept her into the family, and we have fallen in love and married."
Dorothy then asked Sue, "And there is no jealousy?"
Sue laughed, "No, Dorothy. I love Xi as a sister and lover. Besides, I need all the help I can get keeping up with Harry. He is an absolute monster in bed."
Dorothy blushed deeply, "I take it the Ambassador mentioned my request."
Sue and Xi both raised an eyebrow, "Request? Actually, he has not mentioned it."
Dorothy was like a deer in the headlights, and I smiled, "My loving wives, Dorothy is desperately wanting another child and for medical reasons, S.D. is unable to give her one. They have asked if I would attempt to give her a child tonight."
Xi lit up then and smiled, "Mrs. Dorothy, Master is very virile! He will give you a strong baby!"
Dorothy kept getting redder and redder and Sue smiled, "I think that is a wonderful idea! But, Dorothy, would it be okay if Xi and I play with your husband while Harry and you make a baby?"
