"Your sisters are here to take you home! Are you excited to finally go home?"
The nurse beamed at me as she spoke. While I was happy to be leaving the hospital, I was nervous to be going 'home.' Waking up from that coma was a shock. I was in a strange city, with no memory of the last few years.
Luckily my sisters were so caring and patient with me. I didn't recognize their names or faces, but I felt comfortable around them and a weird sense of intimacy. Like I knew them for a long time, but as more than just sisters... which apparently was true.
The nurses did refer to them as my sisters, but they themselves never used that word. When I asked, they simply said they were family. Of course they couldn't all be my sisters, that much was obvious. They all seemed to have different hair color, skin tones, height, body types. Whenever I pried further I was told my mind was still recovering and I couldn't handle that much information at once. So for now, they were family, and I was promised an explanation at a later date. Finally I noticed the nurse still staring at me waiting for an answer to her question.
"Honestly, I'm worried. I don't know these people, even though they say they know me. I feel closer to you than any of them."
At that she smiled and grabbed my hand.
"You're cute, but you can't come home with me. Your memories will come back slowly, but we believe you'll be back to your old self in a few months at most. Your family will help you get reacclimated. Showing you pictures, reminiscing, even being in your own home should help all your memories come back to you."
Sitting on the bed, I put my hand on hers. The way she looked in my eyes put me at ease, and we gave each other a deep look for a few moments before we were interrupted.
"Get a room you two!"
My first 'sister,' a leggy blonde. She was the most involved in my care and always organized the family to make sure I wasn't alone for too long.
"They have a room."
My other 'sister.' Shorter, curvier, flowing red hair and glasses.
"My turn next!"
The last 'sister' who was picking me up. Black hair with red highlights. Tattoos, piercings, a miniskirt with thigh-highs. Three ladies who you would never guess would be related. The redhead stomped on the last girls foot as she said that.
"What, I meant nurse Cami, I thought we had something special." She teased the nurse.
Finally nurse Cami released my hand and I stood up.
"Joking aside, thank you for everything you've done for me... you and all the doctors and nurses."
"We should be thanking you, you were an excellent patient." We shared a hug, and she lingered a moment before we finally pulled apart.

On the way home the blonde drove and the other three of us piled in the back. There was something familiar and comforting about the way they both held my hands, or the way the redhead rested her head on my shoulder to sleep. Or the way my hand felt on the thigh of the darker-haired girl.
"Lilly" as I said it a memory came back. Holding hands, walking along a beach, a kiss...
"We're not brother and sister, are we?"
The girls smiled and cheered as I said her name. I feel like Lilly was about to say something, when the blonde spoke up.
"No, you are not brother and sister. They told us not to overwhelm you with detail, so let's just say she's a family-friend for now."
Lilly seemed happy after I remembered her name though, and she spent the rest of the drive with her head on my opposite shoulder. Strange, I seem to remember the redhead was with us on the beach, too.

I must have dozed off, I was in the middle of a dream of myself, Lilly, Sarah, and Rachel. It was an ordinary dream, we were on the couch, Sarah in my lap, Lilly and Rachel by my sides. Lilly kisses me, then I turn and kiss Rachel, her blonde hair covering my face for a moment. Sarah turns around and says "we're never going to finish this movie are we?" And turns around and joins in on our kiss. I look up and another woman walks in the room. She has dark skin, frizzy black hair, and is wearing a pair of short shorts and a tank top, carrying a bowl of popcorn.
"So much for movie night, let's take this to the bedroom."
I awaken as the car pulls in to our home.
"We're here!" Rachel, who I now recognize as the blonde, turned around and placed a hand on my leg. Embarrassed, I shifted my legs to try to hide my 'excitement' from my dream. Sarah and Lilly yawn themselves awake as well, my eyes darting to Sarah's chest as she stretches.
"I've invited a lot of 'family' and close friends over to help out since you've been gone. We don't want to throw too much at you at once, so once they give you an introduction you should go right to bed."
They must have sensed my nervousness because Sarah and Lilly placed their hands on my leg as well, which does nothing to relax my 'excitement.' Finally they walked me to the front door.
I am met with a barrage of faces, at the same time familiar and unfamiliar to me. Most give me a hug, and tell me their names.
"I'm Veronica." A busty brunette tells me as I hugged her, hoping she doesn't catch me staring at her cleavage.
"Amber." A fit, sporty girl with dirty blonde hair in a ponytail and very long legs.
"Jessica." "Amy." "Selenia." With each name some flashes of memory came back. It seemed I was very familiar with each one of these women, but my mind is still a blur. Through the small crowd I saw the dark-skinned girl from my dreams.
"Ruby!" Saying her name seemed to impress everyone, and she pushed her way past a petite Asian woman (Julie) and a curvy Latina (Raquel) to join in our hug.
"Okay ladies, that's enough excitement for one night." Rachel finally said as she took my hand to lead me upstairs. I passed a few rooms and entered the room at the end of the hall as she walked me into a large bedroom. There was one large bed in the center, and numerous dressers, vanities, and even a couch.
"Get undressed, take a load off your mind, and we can start explaining it all to you in the morning."
We hugged, and I kept hold of her for a moment. I closed my eyes and leaned in for a kiss, and she met my lips with a passionate kiss.
"You were right, we're not all your sisters." She sighed and told me to get some sleep, then left me alone. My head was spinning, and hurt a little from all the memories coming back, so I did as she said and removed my shirt and pants. I sat on the bed and looked around the room. There were many pictures on the wall, a mix and match of me with the girls downstairs. Seeing each picture brought back flashes of dates, kisses, and more with each woman, and sometimes a few of them at the same time.
'That would explain the big bed.' I say out loud. It's ridiculous, but no other explanation makes sense. I decided to get out of bed and confront them. No matter what was going on, I was done being lied to and tip-toed around. I quietly slipped the door open and made my way down the hall, but stopped when I reach the top of the stairs. I heard them talking, and wanted to hear what they had to say.
"So how long are we gonna have to all stay in the spare bedroom?"
"Yeah, those beds are like rocks!"
"Just for a little while, the nurses were clear that too many memories and excitement all at once could upset him."
I recognized Rachel's voice, taking charge.
"The cute nurse lady did say he was making great progress." Lilly added.
I heard a few murmurs of agreement before another voice said.
"Does he remember us? Does he know that we're all together?"
"I haven't told him yet, but he's starting to piece things together." Rachel's calm voice again.
"Yeah, I'm sure he's wondering why his 'family' happens to consist solely of attractive women.'
There's some laughs and giggling before Sarah says "We can't just all jump his bones and say 'oh by the way we're all your harem of gorgeous women.' We'll take it slow, and soon we'll have our man back." That seemed to calm most of them down, until one voice yells out.
"But when can he fuck us again?"
There was another murmur of laughs but most of them seemed serious.
"Yeah, I've had a lot of fun with you ladies but I *need* his dick soon."
