Chapter 71

Over the next few months the pace was beyond hectic. It was downright frenzied. Sally and Jean joined them two weeks after John and Cindy got back from New York.

The girls each flipped over the line marriage idea. Even Theresa. To John’s astonishment, Kevin did too.

They put it on hold until they got the fashion business up and running.

They got the silo rearranged and made a good start on the construction of the conversions. Whoever wasn’t working on the fashion project was swinging a hammer or painting walls.

John made arrangements with the helicopter service for a short term tie down slot. Sheila had briefed him on her conversation with the pilot, a good thing as the pilot asked about his kids and the family. John and Kevin made a trip into town and picked up several loads of construction materials and a larger hot tub, which John had custom made. It had to be lowered down in pieces and then assembled and sealed. When finished it could easily contain them all. This got tested quite often.

John and Kevin completed the redesign. The new scanner worked perfectly and was more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The girls sort of longed for the old one as the new one hardly touched them at all. Cindy gave Sally and Jean a run through on the old one before it was retired.

The amount of resolution lost with the new one was minimal and virtually un-noticeable on the finished outfits.

Sheila was very pleased. The two men set about standardizing fixtures and locating vendors and suppliers of needed components.

Sheila and Sally hit it off stupendously. They hardly showed their faces for several days as they got aquatinted. Then Sheila and Jean slipped off together for a similar period.

Theresa and the New York couple took longer to warm to each other, but the triplets more than filled the gap. With all the sub-relationships going on, John began to think it would actually work. He got to spend whole nights with each of them, undisturbed if not unmolested.

The triplets discovered there was less resistance to them if they spit up into singles rather than acting like a devastating tag team. They’d spend every other night alternating between acting as singles and sleeping all together. But they seldom slept alone, even as a team. They were just too cute.

Cindy and Sally virtually moved in together ... with Jean. Sleeping together whenever either or both of them wasn’t with John, who alternated between them all. Sheila alternated between John, the triplets, Theresa and Kevin and the Cindy / Sally / Jean trio. Kevin would spend time with Sheila, the triplets, or both whenever Theresa would get together with John and quite often Cindy. Jean was happy with whomever wanted her, which was just about everybody.

Mae and Candice flew in, which started a whole new round of musical beds.
