I had just got Eileen off to sleep when I felt my phone vibrate in the thigh pocket of my yoga pants.
"Hi Izumi, it's Talia."
"Hi Talia, how are you and David doing?"
"All the better for your help, thanks. How are you and George? You just had another baby, I think."
"Yes, Eileen. George is proud."
"You must be very busy so I'll make it short. Would you mind if I introduced two of my friends to you? You know how girls are. We talk and they know that David and I have a cuckolding relationship. They wanted to know how it made me feel and how it affected our relationship. They were intrigued but not confident it was for them until they found out that all the gentlemen you vet have intact foreskins."
"I remember you telling me how took it to 11 for you and David."
"Yes, so would you mind if I gave your number to Eve and Rina?"
"Please do. Is Rina Japanese?"
"No, Rina is Jewish like me. It means 'jubilation' in Hebrew. Is it also a Japanese name?"
"Yes, it means 'witty' or 'clever' in Japanese."
"Well, here are their numbers. And David and I want to thank you and George again. And thanks for introducing us to Camron. David and I want a baby and so we're thinking about me coming off the pill."
"George is so happy that ours don't look like him. If you decide to have a baby who's unambiguously not David's then I think Camron's a good choice."
"You want more?"
"George says he wants five. I'd like at least one more. But we have agreed that all our babies will have a black father so I also have my eye on Camron -- although not for at least a year. Look I've got to go now. Fiona's crawling where she shouldn't. I'll call you next week. Bye!"

"Thanks for meeting at the park." I said.
"It's a lovely day, so why not," Eve responded.
"It is lovely. But it's good to have the kids out and still be able to speak quietly with you two."
"I should give you some context," Eve's husband Alex started. "I don't think we are a typical couple. We lived next door to each other when we were little. I professed my love for Eve when we were... well I don't know exactly how old we were but I was little. And then we met again in college. Eve would date and often tell me afterwards how awful her date was. I was never quite sure if Eve knew that I still loved here or even remembered. So one day I asked her out."
"It was a good date," Eve broke in. "Alex knew what I hated and that meant he also knew what I liked. But I also liked not being exclusive. I continued to date other boys and I realized that Alex actually liked that."
"I'm not sure if women know how validating it is to have their girlfriend or wife go out on a date and then choose to come home. It was awesome. And it will be awesome." Alex exclaimed.
He looked at Eve and she continued.
