I left Pat with the nice warm feeling of a job well done.
When I got back to the office I showered and cleaned up and became David. Dori looked up at me with a big smile. She got up and walked to me with a smile an hugged and kissed me, she whispered, "David I need you tonight. Please don't be late coming home tonight."
"I need you too dearest, I'll be early, I promise!"
When I walked in the door at home I smelled what had to be my favorite meal. Fajitas! I was right, we had a great meal and wished I could eat more. We had a pitcher of Sangria with fresh fruit to accompany the meal. When we had cleaned up we took the pitcher in the family room with us. Dori cuddled close to me and I knew she had something besides loving on her mind.
"OK, Dear girl, what is it you want me to do that you know I don't want to do?"
"Oh Davy, am I that transparent?"
"I just know my sweet wife pretty well. You want something besides my sexy body."
"I do want your body, I need it. I love Molly, but I need you. There is something I want to talk to you about. I know this will hurt you some and that makes it very difficult for me to bring it up."
"What is it dear, do you want to date again?"
"Oh no, Hell No. I am just not getting any younger, I want to have a child. I know you can not give me one." Tears ran down her cheeks. And down mine. "Sugar, you ask for the one thing I can not give you. I just do not know any way I can help you, you will have to ask someone else." She looked at me for a long, long time.
"David I have thought about this for a very long time, I know who I want to be the father of our baby. He is as close as I can get to having the man I love with all my heart be the father."
"What?"
"Yes, I want your brother Daniel to father our baby."
"God, Dori, I couldn't live with you screwing him. And besides that he hates me and would love to do it to rub my nose in it. I don't think I have ever said 'NO' to anything you wanted. But..."
"Wait, before you answer, let me tell you something. I know what happened between you. I know he caught you dressed in girls clothes and called you terrible names and said you had disgraced him and the family and that he never wanted to see or hear from or about you ever again, then he beat the crap out of you. He was five years older and eighty pounds heavier. I know you never even raised a hand against him to protect yourself. He has written you a hundred letters and you don't even read them. You have looked at the pictures of his kids. Four beautiful children, I know that hurts you too! I know how you feel, what you don't know is that your brother loves you. He has regretted what he did to you from the moment it happened. He couldn't face you for a long time, not because he hated you, but because he was so ashamed of the way he treated you. I know you will probably hate me for this but I have been talking to Dan, and his wife Jerri, for years. Every time I have ever talked to him he has broken down and cried over what he did to you. I have talked a lot to Jerri, she says she has never seen him cry over anything else. He has always had nightmares about it.
Jerri loves him dearly and says he is a wonderful husband and father, that one thing he did wrong in his life haunts him. She says at least once a week he will wakeup in the night and pace the floor reliving what he did to you. There! I have said my piece, I hope you don't hate me for what I have done, I did it out of love for you because I see you still hurting over it too. I want to end that and take that frown off your sweet face when you think of him. I do love you with every fiber of my being."
"Dori, I could never hate you. Never. I might hate some thing you do, but I will always love you. I also know you love me too. I need some time to think about what you have just told me. I have believed Danny hated me for twenty years. I can't just click that feeling off. I will work on it though. I don't believe I will ever want him to father a child with you. I just don't think I could handle him sleeping with you. I could never look either of you in the eye again."
"Sweetie, I don't want to screw him, I don't want that at all, I just want some of his sperm in a test tube so I can be artificially inseminated. I want you to know that if it does happen I will never think of the baby as anything but our child, yours and mine. That is the only way I will ever get pregnant. No one but you will ever cum inside me. Never, ever will it happen."
We finished the wine. I looked at Dori. "Darling, see if you can get Danny on the phone, please." She stared at me for a bit and ran for the phone.
After a lot of crying and anguish we agreed to meet here at my place. Jerri and Danny were going to leave the kids at her mother's place and spend a couple of days with us.
The day they were to arrive Dori stayed home to get things ready and, like any other woman, clean a already spotless and super clean house. Our was house stayed spotless and neat because when Molly visited she was a neat freak too. She loved to clean and straighten up around the house. It was the only time she got to do it very much.
Dori called me at the office when they got there. I told Mary to close up at the regular time. I hurried home. I felt very nervous and strange as I walked to the door.
I walked in and Dori ran to kiss me. I looked up and saw my brother grinning at me. He held out his arms and hugged me to his massive chest. He was even bigger than I remembered. He stepped back and just grinned at me. He said, "Damn! You still look about the same. I don't think you look a day older than you did twenty years ago. Here I want you to meet my dear wife Jerri." Jerri was a very cute lady. She walked to me with tears in her eyes and but her arms around my neck and kissed me. She said, "God! I am so happy to finally meet you, David."
Jerri is a tiny girl, about five feet tall and couldn't possibly weigh a hundred pounds. I liked her a lot right away. I took a good look at my brother, he had filled out a lot, he was 6'3" and about 240 pounds. A big guy. I smiled at Jerri and Dori, "We do not look much like brothers do we?" Every one laughed. I fixed some more drinks and Dan and I sat and got reacquainted. He was an account executive for a very large firm. He was not happy with his work right then. The company he worked for had recently brought in new management and he was not happy with some things he thought were going on. He asked how Dori and I were doing with our business. I told him we were doing very well. Our net worth combined was well into seven figures.
"You aren't serious are you?"
"Yes, we do well, we have many happy customers. Many are very grateful. We have more work than we can handle. We mostly work for corporations that are having trouble with harassment, pilfering, theft, or embezzlements."
