Once again, I need to give a few shout-outs:
Thank you---again!!--- to Sunshine for her proofreading skills, support, and overall awesomeness.
Dedicated to Scott.
And, as always, to Mandy.
This story is LOOSELY based on an actual trip that Amanda and I took with our friends several years ago.
**********
"Stop that, you're getting on my nerves!"
My wife Amanda placed a firm hand on my knee as I tapped my foot nervously. We were seated in an examination room, impatiently waiting for her doctor to arrive. 2 months ago we had discovered that Amanda was pregnant. What should've been the happiest day of our lives was instead filled apprehension.
We weren't sure if I was the father.
Amanda and I enjoyed an open marriage. We each had entertained so many sex partners, men and women alike, in our bed that my wife and I had lost count. In ways that we would never be able to explain to someone in a traditional relationship, our sexual experimentation actually make our already solid marriage that much stronger. As a matter of caution, Amanda was on "the pill" before our extramarital trysts began. We knew it wasn't foolproof, but we were helpless but to give in to sinful needs of the flesh.
Now we were potentially paying the price.
After the initial shock of the positive pregnancy test results, Amanda and I immediately tried to determine whom the father could be. We were fearful that it was Glenn, her boss of several years. Needless to say, that revelation would've opened a sordid can of worms. However, it had been months since my wife ended their scorching affair [Chapter 2], long enough that we confidently ruled him out.
It broke my heart to consider that it could be my best friend Dimitri, but I was present the last time he had slept with Amanda [Chapter 5], and that was outside the window of time as well.
The basically whittled down the list of potentials to 2: our neighbor Scott and Amanda's former intern Jimmy.
Scott and his busty wife Brandy had been our swinging partners from almost the day we met [Chapter 8], and my wife had fairly recently spent a naughty, sex-filled weekend with them [Chapter 9]. It was the worst kept secret in the world that Scott was completely enamored with Amanda, so the possibility that he was responsible for impregnating my wife was valid.
However, Jimmy was Amanda's most recent lover. The young man was under her tutelage for 6 months. Almost a decade her junior, they had enjoyed a sizzling affair for almost that entire time, and he had even immortalized their relationship on the internet, much to my wife's delight [Chapter 10]. Jimmy had finished his internship about 2 months ago, and Amanda and I had said good-bye to him in the best way we knew how: with a night filled with alcohol and sex. He and I had even double-penetrated my wife in the same hole which, despite her countless partners and willingness to try virtually anything in the bedroom, was her first experience [Chapter 11].
The timetable seemed about right. If I wasn't the father our baby, then it had to be Jimmy, I glumly concluded. It was with conflicting emotions that I realized that this might be the best case scenario.
At least, from Amanda's perspective.
At first, I didn't want to suffer the embarrassment of paternity tests. Regardless of who the father was, I knew in my heart that I would always love the child like my own flesh and blood, and be the best parent possible.
But Amanda wanted to know; she needed to know.
We met with Dr. Morningham as soon as possible, and had the slightly embarrassing conversation about a paternity test. The doctor recommended a simple, noninvasive procedure that simply involved collecting a blood sample from each of us. We would know in only 4 days if I was the father with a 99.9% certainty. The problem was, when we had met with Dr. Morningham, Amanda was roughly only 4 weeks into her pregnancy, and the test could only be administered after 8 weeks gestation.
So we waited for an agonizing month. When the 8-week mark finally arrived, and we anxiously submitted the blood samples.
That was 3 days ago.
Dr. Morningham contacted Amanda yesterday to set up an immediate appointment, which made us nervous. After all, if I was the father, wouldn't she have simply called or emailed to inform us? Why did she want to meet in person?
Unless it wasn't me...
My restless leg returned at the thought, and I began tapping the floor again.
"I said, stop that!" Amanda repeatedly irritably. "I know you're nervous, but you're driving me insane! The doctor will be here soon. Then we'll find out."
"I know, I know," I grumbled. "I just hate waiting...not knowing."
I glanced at the wife, who was absently rubbing her belly. She wasn't showing a bump yet, but it struck me, for the countless time, what a wonderful mother Amanda was going to be. She looked as beautiful as ever.
But right now she had a look of anguish that tore at my soul.
"Hey, come over here." I pulled Amanda close, and she lay her head on my shoulders. "Whatever's happened in the past is over and done with. There's not use for regret or looking back. All that matters now is the baby. And you're going to be the greatest mom in the world, and I'm going to try to be the best father ever. That's going to be true no matter what the test says. I love you, Mandy."
She began to sob. "I know... but will you still love me if..."
I stared at her in disbelief. "Of course I will!" I practically shouted. That fact that Amanda would question my love for her shook me to my very core. I loved her more than life itself and adored the ground that she walked on. "I love you, Mandy" I repeated fervently. "Nothing... NOTHING will ever change that."
It broke my heart to see my wife in such misery, especially since I felt horrible guilt.
I
was the one who set up the very first gangbang that started everything [Chapter 1]. I had encouraged Amanda... begged her... to indulge herself with as many lovers as possible, which was as much for my own perverted pleasure as it was for her happiness.
Amanda nodded, and I immediately realized that I had lifted her spirits. More importantly, I knew that she believed me.
"Everything is going to be fine," I assured her, pressing my forehead to hers. "No matter what happens today, it's not going to change us, or how we love and nurture our child."
Amanda sighed and nodded once more. "Let's just think of happy thoughts before Dr. Morningham gets here."
"That sounds like a great idea."
It seemed like an eternity before the examination room door finally opened. A tall woman with graying hair and wearing a white lab coat marched in. She was intently reading the paperwork clutched in her hands.
Amanda and I immediately stood up. "Dr. Morningham. It's good to see you again, thank you for ---"
The woman cut my wife off with a dismissive wave. Still pouring over the paperwork, she spoke as if she were already in midsentence. "So I'm reading over the results of the paternity test you requested," she said by way of greeting. "And the lab tech is definitive with his conclusion."
Amanda and I froze. My heart was beating so hard that I thought it might burst, and I held my breath. We were hanging on the doctor's every word, but she remained tortuously silent.
Suddenly, Dr. Morningham looked up, and her authoritarian demeanor gave way to genuine warmth. She gazed directly at me, and there was mischief in her eyes. "Congratulations... dad."
Amanda and I looked at each other then, after a moment of relief and happy disbelief, whooped and leapt into each other's arms.
"Was there ever any doubt?" Dr. Morningham asked us. Her face split into a roguish grin.
**********
It was a month later when Amanda's cell phone vibrated with an incoming text message.
"Is that Jimmy letting you know that he misses you, again?" I teased her.
Jimmy had been gone for months, but he and my wife still kept in close contact. To my knowledge, they were texting each other at least 3 or 4 times a day---and probably more often, without my knowledge.
She read the text. "Omigod!"
"What?"
"That was Brandy. She and Scott are expecting, too!"
The news was both delightful and ironic. Amanda had felt like we were getting in the way of their marriage... most likely due to the fact that Scott constantly wanted to have sex with her. And as much as she tried to conceal it, Amanda enjoyed his attention, as she seemingly did from all men, and was still attracted to him. That was fine, because Brandy remained flirty with me, and I continued to daydream about her hot body and amazing breasts. Were it not for Amanda's moral code, Scott and I would still be happily fucking each other's wife. But, the way things currently stood, our relationship with our neighbors fell into a semblance of a normal friendship. In fact, despite their sexual history--- with each other's husbands as well as with each other [Chapter 9]--- Amanda and Brandy were practically sisters now.
"Wow, what a coincidence," I remarked. "Good for them!"
Amanda was thrilled. "I'm so happy for them! I know Brandy's been trying to get pregnant for some time." Seeing her so jubilant for them genuinely warmed my heart. As I watched my wife dance a little jig, I humorously fantasized that I had impregnated Brandy while Scott had gotten Amanda pregnant. It was wrong on so many levels, but it was a fun thought, all the same.
