I woke nestled between the three women I had made pregnant. Still elated at the prospect of having all three of them pregnant. I was as happy as I could ever remember being. I slipped out of bed as quietly as possible and off to the bathroom for morning requirements before I made coffee. I took care of everything and got the coffee made then sat at the kitchen table and started to think. If I was going to be bringing these children into the world and share responsibility for them I needed to make some changes.
I am old fashioned enough to believe that if a women is carrying my child she should be my wife and while the girls seemed to have accepted some sort of informal marriage arrangement I still wanted more. But the problem was how do I marry three women and not end up in jail. Also would all three agree to marry me. I was fairly sure that Tina and Tammy would readily agree but Stacey had been fairly clear that she expected nothing from me but would accept my acting like a father to our child. I really needed to think this through and talk to each of them so we could get a plan together. I also knew that my apartment would soon become too cramped for even the two girls and I with two babies so I would have to look for larger accommodations. I had been toying with the idea of buying a house for some time but just hadn't bothered before. Now it seemed a logical move.
I was lost in my thoughts when I was startled by hands on my shoulders and arms going around my neck as Stacey hugged me from behind. She kissed my cheek and got her own cup of coffee, then sat down across from me.
"Thinking about everything?" She asked.
I nodded and told her about my thoughts on the housing situation. She reminded me that while she planned on visiting and it would be nice if there were room for her and the baby it was not required as she would not be living with us. That opened up the floor for my question of exactly what limits she was going to set on my fatherhood.
She seemed to have thought it through pretty completely. "First I'm glad you are happy about it and want to be a father rather than a sperm donor. Actually it was more than I hoped for. I don't expect you to pay for anything. I have a good job and good benefits. What I would like is just to be able to have you be a father, to love the child and play with him or her and be there as they grow up just be available and love them."
I considered for a minute then answered. "I'm not entirely happy with not contributing financially especially since you will be doing all the work day in and day out. But, for now I will accept that. We can argue about it some other day, under the condition that if your situation changes you will allow me to help when needed. Second, what happens if you find somebody and decide to get married?"
She smiled at me. "Ok if I lose my job or anything I will let you help. As far as getting married. It may happen, I doubt it. I have been dating for a while and to be honest and not to swell your head but you are the best I found and if I worked closer, you'd have all three of us in your bed every night. But if I do meet someone as good as you, you are still my baby's father and that won't change. With your permission I will name you as the father on the birth certificate."
"I would be pleased and honored to be named as your child's father." I answered. "Now for the next problem. I want to marry all three of you. I want the mothers of my children to be my wives."
She laughed at that. "Explain that to the judge."
"Yeah that's a separate part of the problem. But will you marry me, if I can figure out a way?" I asked.
She gave me one of those smiles women use when they know you are on a male thing and they love you for it and said. "Yes, if you can figure out a way and if it includes all of us. I will marry you. As long as I can still be the person I am and not just your wife."
"Thank you." I told her, really meaning it.
"Thank you for loving me enough to ask. Now I have to get a shower to get to my seminar. Care to wash my back?"
That is an invitation I will never turn down and we got into the shower. I washed her back and her front too and loved every minute of it. Then I dried her off and kissed her goodbye as she left. Now I had to get the other two up and ready for work. As well as myself.
I spent the rest of the day thinking about this marriage thing and with a little checking I figured out a way to take care of Tina and Tammy. I would propose tonight and we could even include Stacey. The only two problems I could foresee was what to do with Amy and the last, my sister.
I needed to talk to Stacey about Amy. If she was jealous about Stacey getting pregnant than how would she feel about Tina and Tammy also expecting and marrying me. I like her almost as much as Stacey and did not want to hurt her or cause problems between Her and Stacey.
