22: Relational Reality

I woke up in the morning sandwiched between Doreen and Betts. They were cuddled up on either side of me and were holding hands. My morning erection was trying to work its way between their palms. It wasn't light out so I knew it was time for my morning talk with Rhonda. I was really looking forward to it.

What do you think, honey? That was a really dirty trick to surprise me with my sister when I'm about to make love with Doreen. Did you help plan that? Look at them sleeping on my shoulders. They are both so pretty and innocent. After kissing Betts last night, I don't think I'll ever be able to think of her as Betts the Bitch again. This won't, like, screw up my relationship with my sister, will it? We always had a little bit of a screwy relationship, but it's been good since Maddie was born.

Where is Maddie??? My god! She didn't leave the baby in Seattle, did she? She must be here. She must.

I looked down at the sleeping girls. I was just overwhelmed by the love I felt. I kissed Doreen on her head. She didn't even stir.

Do you suppose she's pregnant already? Me? A daddy? I want to show you what a good daddy I'll be. God! That is so sick. Scratch that. I don't want to make you feel bad. I sometimes feel so sad about our baby. I know you do, too. It will be hard, though. Hard to always look at Doreen's little baby and not see what we might have had. Oh, honey. I love you so much. With or without children, please love me. Please be well.

I caught my breath. I could feel tears dripping down my face. I kissed the top of Doreen's head again and hugged her to me. Then I did the same to my sister. Unlike Doreen, Betts stirred. She lifted her face and searched for my lips without opening her eyes. When she found them, we kissed. It was long and languid. She kept her eyes closed and opened her mouth slightly. Her tongue touched my lips and I reached mine to her. They were light touches—no tonsil searches going on. Just the tips of our tongues touched and circled around. She licked at my lips and I captured her tongue. I swept the inside of her upper lip with my tongue and she shuddered. She opened her eyes and caught me staring at her.

"Who'd have thought my own brother was such a dreamy kisser," she said. "Kiss me again, Brian. I feel so loved."

I kissed her. I could feel the love. With Betts and me, that had always been a hot and cold thing. Oh, I knew she loved me and I loved her. But when we got together it could be tears of sympathy or raging arguments over something as simple as who got to use the bathroom first. In this kiss, though ... It was not the kiss of a brother and sister. I felt the hands at my middle part enough to allow my cock entrance between the two girls. They stroked together. Doreen was moving and had one leg over my legs already as she started crawling up my body.

"Mmm. Betsy, don't waste it in our hands. Put him in me again. Please?" Doreen moaned. She still hadn't opened her eyes, but she rose up enough that Betts could rub my cock around in her juices and position me where Doreen could slowly sink onto me. "Oh yes. That's better. I love you, Betts," Doreen said. Betts pulled away from me and looked up at her oldest and dearest friend. "Now you know," Doreen continued. "You know I'm bi. I make love to Rachel and Sandy all the time. But all the time we were growing up and talking about boys and what we wanted them to do to us, I was wishing you'd do it with me. I have always loved you, Betts."

Betts moved to lever herself upright. She didn't say anything. She just moved in to kiss Doreen. I had my hands on their butts, but they fingered each other to orgasm as I spewed into Doreen.

"Hahaha! Look who I've got!" I laughed as I walked into our kitchen. Rhonda, Rose, and Samantha were getting some breakfast prepared. Whitney was coming downstairs and walked straight to me. Madeline giggled in my arms.

"Down, Unca!" she squirmed around and I put the toddler on the floor. She was off like a shot to explore. The last time I'd seen Maddie was at graduation. She'd been thirteen months and was cruising while hanging onto the furniture and people's hands. Now she was almost two and was walking and running from one thing to another. I quickly looked around to see if there was anything dangerous at the two-foot level.

"Isn't she adorable?" Rose said. The girls suddenly found that nothing was that important in the kitchen and were all four chasing after Maddie.

"You are all evil, wicked, women!" I said. "How could you send me to my death like that without giving me a last meal? Or a goodbye fuck? My sister? I'm scarred for life!"

"Brian! Watch your language around the baby!" Samantha said.

"UncaUncaUncaUnc!" Maddie screamed as she ran toward me leading the horde of chasing girls. Jennifer, Courtney, and Sora joined the chase as they came down the stairs. I caught my niece up in my arms and swung her around as she giggled.

"Tell them, Maddie. E-vil."

"Eel!"

"Yes, similar. Snakes is more like it."

"What's wrong, Brian?" Courtney asked. I set the squirming toddler down and the chase was on again.

"Sending me to make love to Doreen with my sister naked in bed beside us. Scarred, I tell you. I'm scarred for life!" I laughed.

"Sounds like our first time together," Sora said innocently.

"Oh, my god, yes!" I said.

"What? What happened?" Courtney insisted as she ignored the baby and came to me for a morning kiss.

"Oh, Betts was all upset and crawled into bed with Brian just as we were about to make love the first time," Sora explained. "When we woke up in the morning, Brian had her wrapped in his arms ready to have a go when he realized I was not in front of him but behind him. I still think Betts came when I did."

"We all did," I affirmed. "But this time, I escaped with the baby. She'll be so surprised when she gets out of the shower."

"Where was Maddie all night?" Rose asked.

"Rachel became mother of the night. I could hardly pry Maddie away from her this morning."

"AntieAntieAntie!" Maddie screamed. I looked behind me and the Auntie in question was rushing in. Betts was right behind her.

"My baby! My baby!" Betts screamed. "You took my baby!" Rachel reached to scoop her up, but Maddie made a last minute turn and laughed as she ran the other direction. She ran right into a startled Rhonda's arms. Rhonda sat back onto the floor and Maddie became an airplane as Rhonda held her overhead. Maddie was laughing so hard I was afraid she'd throw up. Rhonda brought her to a safe landing against her chest and hugged my little niece. Maddie had apparently had enough of leading the adults on a chase and just lay on Rhonda, panting.

Rose slipped up beside me and squeezed my hand.

Rhonda sat up and carried Maddie to her mother. Before the handoff was complete, Maddie gave Rhonda a big slobbery kiss on her cheek.

"Um ... Breakfast is almost ready," Rhonda said as she ran to the kitchen. I followed her as the other girls all gathered around Betts. I realized that most of the girls had little or nothing on. I only had a pair of cut-off sweats. I put my arm around Rhonda.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" I asked. Rhonda turned toward me and hugged me fiercely.

"Be the best daddy you can ever be," she whispered. "And get the bacon out of the lower oven." She pushed away and opened a massive pan of scrambled eggs to scrape onto a serving platter. Doug, Doreen, and Sandy showed up and we all filled plates with food. Rhonda makes the fluffiest scrambled eggs on the planet. Just, yum!

"You seem to be in a good mood today," I said as Rhonda and I drove to the western store south of Bloomington. Betts, Doreen, Rachel, Sandy, and Maddie were going shopping in Indy. I couldn't imagine anything that we'd have in Indiana that Betts didn't have more and better in Seattle. But shopping. I corralled Rhonda and as soon as I said 'saddle shop' she was in the car with me.

"I took a pill."

"That's okay, isn't it? I mean, that's what they're for, right?"

"Yeah. I talked to Dr. McCall. I called her last night."

"She's okay with that?"

"I talked to her a lot more than my weekly appointments, Brian. She gave me a number to call at any time. She helped me a lot," Rhonda said.

"I guess I didn't know that. But it's good to see you back to yourself."

"I'm not." I looked over at her. "The drugs keep me evened out so I don't keep sinking into depression, Brian. They don't make me myself."

"I guess I knew that. I'm sorry..."

"It's okay. I understand. We talked for about two hours last night. I probably owe her a ton of money, but I've never paid her anything. Oh dear." It suddenly dawned on Rhonda that she'd never seen a bill from Dr. McCall. I suppose her insurance was paying for things. I hoped. "Anyway, I'm still sad. I'm sad that we lost the chance to have a baby together. That will always make me sad, Brian. And I bet it makes you sad, too. What the drugs help me with is not obsessing on that so that I can't see how good my life is now and how much I am loved. Brian, I have never been so loved. And I grew up in a loving family. I just never knew how much I was loved."

"I love you, Rhonda."

"Yes. You do." She smiled. "What are we buying at the western store?"

During the day, I took the opportunity to cuddle each member of my family. It wasn't sexual, even though we were all naked. Maybe I should say it wasn't sex. It's hard to have Whitney or Samantha or Rose cuddle up naked in your lap and not have it be a little sexual. There was a lot of touching and a lot of kissing. But I just wanted to hold each of my lovers and let them know how much I loved them and missed them when we were so busy.

Courtney was in my lap in front of the fire when Betts and Doreen came in from their day of shopping. Maddie ran straight to me and climbed up on Courtney and me. She had a lot to say, even though I didn't understand any of it. Court was getting the brunt of Maddie's attack. The little toddler had grabbed hold of one of Court's breasts as a handhold to climb into our lap. Court was biting her tongue.

"We'd have been home hours ago if Betts hadn't insisted we go all the way up to Lafayette Square," Doreen laughed as she dumped a few packages on the dining table. "Really, there is nothing all the way up there that isn't in Greenwood."

"Greenwood didn't have a Babies-R-Us," Betts protested. "And I wanted to get my little brother a present." Betts brought a bag over to the chair where Maddie was still talking a mile a minute to me.

"Here, Betts," Courtney said, squirming out of my lap. "Why don't you sit on Brian to give him his present?" She pried Maddie's fist off her nipple and gasped. "Oh. Wow!" Betts started to sit on my lap.

"Brian! You're naked!"

"Um ... We were just relaxing. This is our home, Betts."

"But you had my baby in your lap!" Betts looked really concerned.

"Yeah. Fortunately, she was too interested in grabbing Courtney's tit to pay attention to anything else," I laughed. I lifted Maddie down to the floor. She zeroed in on Doreen and went running.

"AntieAntieAntie!" I held out my arms for Betts. She looked at my cock. Courtney had been holding it between her butt cheeks while she sat in my lap and there was no way to hide what she'd done to me.

"I shouldn't. You're ... You're naked. You're my brother. I shouldn't."

"What's the big deal?" Rhonda asked. It wasn't nasty. It was a sincere question. "I sit on my sister's lap when we're naked. We do lots of things when we're naked."

"But he's a boy ... man ... and his ... it's erect," Betts stammered.

"It's not much use when it isn't," Rhonda said. "Though I wish I could pee standing up. Abraham married his sister, Sarah. Jacob married the sisters Rachel and Leah. I don't think it was meant to be a big deal." She turned and headed for the kitchen. Betts looked around the room. Doreen had already stripped. Maddie still had a diaper on and was running from one naked girl to another, squealing in delight.

"Shit," Betts muttered. She stripped off her clothes except for the thong she was wearing and plopped onto my lap. "Keep that thing away from where it doesn't belong and your hands above my waist, buster," she growled under her breath. Nonetheless, she wiggled around enough to make sure I stayed firmly upright. "Here, open your present." She handed me the bag.

It was a good-sized pan with a rack in it to hold something. I lifted it in and out.

"Is this for canning?" I asked. "The slots look so small." I was really puzzled. Obviously, Betts had purchased something she thought I needed and didn't have. But I had no idea what it was. She handed me a small box. I opened it. A baby bottle. I almost cried.

"It's a ... baby bottle sterilizer," Betts whispered. She blushed and wiggled up closer to me. She reached for my hand and put it on her bare breast. "You don't want your son to catch something from dirty bottles," she whispered. Oh god! She was crying. I pushed the pan and package away and Rose grabbed it so I could hold my sister in my arms.

"Thank you," I whispered. "I have a lot to learn, but I'm going to take such good care of your nephew, Aunt Betts." I just rocked her in my arms until she finally pulled away. Maddie was still giggling with Jennifer.

"You, little girl, need to go to bed soon. Time to go visit Aunt Rachel and Aunt Sandy," Betts said. She pushed herself up out of the chair, wiggling against my cock a little more as she got out of the chair.

After Maddie was safely in bed with Rachel and Sandy watching over her, Doreen and Betts came to join my family in our bedroom. It was the first time Betts had seen the room and it was still set up like the teenage girls' sleepover room. I couldn't believe there were actually posters of David Bowie hanging on the walls.

"Don't you have your own room, Brian?" Betts asked. "Where are your books and microscope?"

"Oh, they're in the study room downstairs," I laughed. "The girls figured I had my decorations the past four years. Now they get theirs."

"But you should have your own space. You shouldn't have to share a room with your sisters. I mean with all the girls." I heard what she said and what she meant. She really didn't understand that they were more than my friends.

"Betts, I can escape downstairs to the guest room if I need to be alone. But really, sister, look around. I know I'm your brother, but you've got to see things the way I see them for a minute," I said. I took her on a guided tour through my girlfriends as I started undressing her. "Have you ever seen a more perfect butt than Courtney's? I never pass up an opportunity to cuddle up against it. How about Samantha's pussy? Go ahead and look. It's completely hairless. It is so smooth and soft that every time I get a glimpse of it I just want to bury my face in it. Did you see how Rose's nipples are so tiny on her big breasts? But they are always hard and so sensitive that she actually comes from being sucked on. Look at Whitney. Look how her muscles ripple beneath her skin. She is as powerful as a tiger. Did you know that Sora can bend over backwards and put her hands on the floor behind her? Do you know what that looks like to a guy with an erection? And just look at Jennifer. Her very favorite thing is to lick me while I'm in one of the other girls. Well, I think it's me that she likes to lick. She really likes all the other girls. And Liz. I never imagined how much I would come to love her. She's wild and uninhibited. I love every freckle. And, of course, there's Rhonda. She's both the strongest and most fragile woman I've ever met. There is nothing in this world I wouldn't do for her." I began moving Betts toward the nearest bathroom where Doreen was waiting for us.

"Brian! You took my panties off," Betts said. She was just coming back to awareness of her own body after looking at my lovers through my eyes.

"Doreen wants us to take a shower together before we go to bed. You don't want to get your panties wet, do you?"
