That evening was very subdued. Marla was so full of conflicting thoughts that she could not think or make decisions. After dinner, John asked her to join him in his den for a few minutes. When she arrived she was surprised to see her very pregnant sister sitting quietly in the shadows of the darkened room. Marla and John were lit only by the flickering light from the warm fireplace. Still, she felt she and John were the only two people in the world and were lit by a big spot light. She hung on his words.
"Day after tomorrow is when you are scheduled to leave your sister and me to return home. We must talk tonight because tomorrow, you will meet Ann. She will be here all afternoon and into the evening. She is a wonderful midwife and will deliver our baby. I have known her all my life. You will like her."
John sipped his coffee and then continued, "Cortney and I talked about you a long time today. She told me about your financial concerns related to staying. If you can work out a way to take the time off, I will gladly cover any of your financial obligations. We both think it would be wonderful for you to be here when our son is born and then stay as long as you can." He paused, almost looked embarrassed and continued, "I told Cortney about the wonderful oral gift you gave me two days ago and I told her about how strongly my body reacts to you. How I want to repay your gift by pleasing you. How much I want you. And we talked about how I worried that might cause some problems in our relationship and how I did not want that. I even added, maybe it would not be good for you to extend your stay."
Marla was shocked and feared her sister would be jealous. Her heart was beating so loudly that John's words were muffled. Her pussy was getting wetter with each of his carefully rehearsed, halting words.
"Cortney told me that she already knew how much I want you. She said that she thinks you feel the same way but are fighting against the tide. She said she would like for you and me to be together - for you to live with us as part of our family."
This was clearly new emotional territory for John. He looked relieved that he had gotten everything out. Now his articulate manner just collapsed and he sat drained and quiet. Cortney moved from the darkness and sat next to her sister and held her hands, "I am very happy in my life right now. Having you here has made everything better. I know it has to be your decision, but I want you to be here so we can share our lives, love and desires. Sis, I must admit that I am attracted to you too."
The pause seemed to last forever. Marla could feel her sister's pulse in her hands and feel her pregnant belly pressing into her forearm. Her life had been so boring, formal and orderly. Now it was full of exciting unknowns, was lust filled and was a little scary. Her mind raced from thought to thought but her mouth could not form words.
Cortney saved her, "I know this is too much to think about all at once. If you stay with us, you will always have a say. When you get back home, think about our time together and consider living here with us."
Finally, the calming voice of John added even more reason, "Marla, consider a trial period. Take a leave of absence, if you can. Don't make any permanent moves. Just come to us. Help your sister and get to know your new nephew. Your slightest direction will keep everything else in check. I will not be a problem for you and you will learn a lot more about how your sister and I live."
Marla did not sleep well that night. The next morning she did not go down for breakfast. Instead, she packed. No, she had not made any decisions. Either way she had to go home for at least a few days.
Over lunch, Marla was introduced to Ann by Cortney. Ann is in her seventies, a shapely wrinkled thin blond with blue eyes that are shaped like and sparkle like John's. Lunch was a talkative female delight. Ann is playful about where to shop, her travels and a million other things. Her energy and confidence just bubbles out of her words and she is full of life.
John worked later than expected. Ann was just leaving at 8:30 p.m. when he got home, looking tired. He obviously, had not slept much last night either. Ann lit up when she saw John, but was in a hurry. She caressed his cheek and she kissed him squarely on the lips before they swapped greetings and she scurried off into the night.
About eleven, John knocked on Marla's door, "I'll be gone before you get up in the morning. I wanted to say, "Goodbye" and tell you again how much I appreciate you spending time with your sister. She is still worried about the natural child birth. Even if you cannot come back for that, your visit has helped immensely."
She was struck by how medicinal his words were. He had raised a protective shell so her anticipated rejection would not hurt so much. He cared. It was very obvious, even though he was trying to act above the emotions of their discussion the night before.
--------------------------------------
For ten days Marla struggled to get back into the swing of work and her quiet apartment. For ten days she failed. For ten days she thought about her sister, John, Sir James, their "no strings" offer and the accepting, love she felt in their home. A week later, her incoming flight arrived in the morning that her sister's active labor pains began. John only broke half a dozen traffic laws getting back home after picking her up at the airport. Ann was there and had everything well under control.
Ann wanted John and Marla to shower and scrub up after being exposed to so many people at the airport. Marla did not have time to unpack so she just put a hospital gown over her damp, nude body and went to be with her sister. For five hours little happened, except her holding and encouraging Cortney. Then there was a flurry of wet sheets being removed and wetness being cleaned. The room stayed very clean and tidy. In a total of seven hours from Marla being picked up at the airport, Ann put seven pound and six ounce, Anthony John Adams into Marla's arms for just a few moments while she cleaned him, flipped his little dick one time with the tip of her index finger, wrapped him and transferred him to his father's arms and said, "Put your new son into his mother's arms."
Marla's breasts were wet from holding Little Tony but that cold discomfort did not keep her from crying at the beauty of her tired sister holding the baby she had wanted for so many years. Ann had her own way of doing things. When she had the room even more tidy and had wiped Cortney just a little, she asked John, "Do you want to show Marla what your father showed you when your sister was born?"
John did not say a word. He got up, guided Marla to stand with him between Cortney's spread legs, "Put your left hand on my right wrist." Ann lubed the strange handhold and John gently and smoothly slipped his hand inside Cortney's still open, relaxed vagina. Marla's hand went with his. He pushed her elbow with his free hand and caught her fingers when her arm slipped the few extra inches so they could really hold hands. "Our hands are inside your sister. Carefully, feel the empty cradle where the baby grew. Feel how warm, soft and protecting she is inside."
