Chapter 17

Jenna and Joanna, of course, didn’t get to watch the video until after Joanna was moved out of the ICU and began the process of release from the hospital. Still, it seemed to entertain both of them while they waited. I had, of course, in my enthusiasm forgotten that cell phones are banned from most of the significant areas of a hospital. Even so, Jenna and Joanna thought of it as a very sweet gesture, as indicated by the video that Joanna sent me after she got into Jenna’s Ford Ranger and Jenna drove her sister to a Burger King for breakfast on her way home.

“It’s just me, Joanna. Jenna, of course, is busy driving and we’re almost at Burger King. Thankfully, she made sure that when I was released, I’d have some nice skirts and blouses to replace my hospital gown. Oh, by the way, two doctors, one nurse, and an admissions clerk all flirted with me, not even counting the ones that flirted with Jenna.

“Anyway, that video was very hot, I must confess. Jenna and I really enjoyed it. I think that she wants to move in ASAP, just so she can partake of the daily fun. I’m with her on that. I couldn’t get anyone to remove my balls yet, but they were very sympathetic and recommended some doctors to explore my transition. We’re going to stop by her place, collect her stuff, and then head straight over to you.

“I won’t be able to do much sexually, of course, not yet, given my present shape, but Jenna has assured me that you’ll understand and be considerate of my trauma and recovery. I promise that we’ll work as soon as we’re able to and that we’ll babysit the kids, too, when needed. Angel told me this morning, incidentally, that she wants to reconsider the divorce. She said that Chrissy and she both recognize that I’m female and ... well, let’s just say that they want to explore that side of things. Any chance that they could live with us?

“Arlen, on the other hand, dumped me, but I completely get it. It hurts, but I always knew that he was a full-blown homosexual. I’m not stunned at all by that, even if it’s painful. If he wants to move in, too, or still wants to visit his old mansion, hey, I’m all for that as well. He did promise me that as soon as we could all get moved into his old family place, he’d turn it over to you, Dan. That much hasn’t changed, naturally. It would be nice not to be so crowded, babe.

“Anyway, here we are. Burger King. Nice chance to get some meat, right? I can’t eat too much, though. Don’t want to ruin my girlish figure. Yeah, I know. I know. You’ll love me just the same, all of you. I’m so glad that we’re lovers now instead of rivals. It’s like that song by Culture Club, Karma Chameleon, right?

“Like the lip gloss? Makes me feel nice and pretty, though these heels will take some adjustment, I can tell you that much. Maybe I shouldn’t be wearing them so soon after being released from the hospital, but, hey, lovers, it’s my first real chance to decide what I want to wear as a woman! Ciao!” Joanna actually blew a kiss at the camera, diva-style.

Lisa and I laughed pretty loudly at that, scant minutes after we came back after we dropped the kids off at school. Holly minded the shop half of the day with help from Monica, and afterward both came here, while Shelly and Jaime finished the shift. Evidently, they were set to appear here as well, but I had by now chosen to let bygones be bygones with Jaime. I still wasn’t attracted to him, but I wasn’t going to try to keep others away from fucking him, not even Lisa if she wanted his dick inside her again. We had changed so much for the better since that Saturday night, after all. In less than a week, mortal enemies had become friends, and in some cases, even lovers. It was amazing how life could change one’s perspective in so little time.

I had also decided that when the little ones finished with school, we would sit them down, properly dressed, and explain that things had changed, more or less permanently, in our family and household. I wouldn’t go into details yet, but I would let them know that they were still loved, that now they would have far more adult supervision, but also far more love and attention, however long they lived under my roof.

“Yes, they must already suspect that some things have changed. Might as well get in first and help it make more sense to them, rather than have them fearful of their future. Children like some stability and predictability about their future, after all. I want them to be happy, feel secure, and know that we love them, no matter what. I want to show our neighbors and such that we can have a happy, healthy family that isn’t traditional or nuclear or monogamous or any of those things. I want to prove that you can be great parents and still fool around with lots of people, right?” Lisa told me as we snuggled up on the couch, just seconds before Mary joined us there, putting her head on my shoulder.

“My sentiments exactly, babe. Your thoughts, Mare?” I asked Mary.

“Are you kidding? I love the kids and I want them to be as happy as possible. I want all of us joyful and all that jazz. I hope that they will see me as an aunt, just as they do with Missy here. I hope that you breed me properly and give them some brothers and sisters, just as you do with the others. That would be terrific. I love seeing that you’ve bred Michelle, by the way. I can’t wait to see her baby bump grow, especially while mine does. Same with Missy and Amber, right?” Mary confessed, kissing my neck while Lisa snuggled with me, and David, Amber, Michelle, and Missy, all of whom had taken the day off, all winked at us.

Quite how it happened, I’m not sure even now, but I was soon balls deep inside Mary, a nice, busty blonde who wasn’t about to refuse or deny me anything. She made that evident in the way that she kissed me while we fucked, even as the others made full use of their well-earned, badly needed vacation to enjoy each other. In fact, most of the family decided that day that it was high time that we did take such a vacation together, to fully experience and enjoy each other before settling into our new routines.
