A reader recently wrote me a very lovely note on "An Extended Family", asking me if I planned to revisit the characters. I hadn't - but this story came to me immediately after and I set out to write it. Hope that reader enjoys it and I dedicate it gratefully.
Mike Cooper walked into the Living Room and saw the dour look on his wife's face. He knew that expression well and had seen it on her face and in her sea-green eyes several times over the last few months. She was in one of those "don't try to cheer me up" moods.
"Something wrong, hon?" Mike asked, knowing what the answer would be.
"Well, for one thing, you're an hour late for dinner – luckily, our daughter is making us cold plates - my stomach has been doing flip-flops and ..." Janis sighed "...I'm
horny
as hell and there isn't a damned thing I can do about it." She patted her growing stomach and said "This kid of ours better be an acrobat, with all the flipping about it's doing."
Mike kissed his wife gently on the forehead, knowing most of her exasperation had come from feeling so lousy over the past 4 weeks. He knew she loved him dearly. Her having a child after all these years had been a complete surprise to them both, but their daughter – his stepdaughter Jessica – had been thrilled to death.
"I've always been cool with being an only child Mom – Daddy – you know that, but now I get to play big sister! Woo-Hoo!"
Janis looked at her husband, shrugged and said quietly "Woo-Hoo."
"Woo-Hoo." Mike laughed.
Now, late in her pregnancy, Mike looked at his wife and found he couldn't wipe the constant dopey grin off his face. He loved his legally-adopted daughter with every fiber of his being – but knowing Janis was carrying his child, seeing that she did indeed have a glow made him happy beyond words. She was still the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. She always had been, since the day she had walked into his bookstore and transformed his life.
Jessica walked into the room and gave her father a big kiss. "Hello Daddy, you gorgeous hunk of man. Dinner's in an hour, have a drink – don't give me that look mother, you know you can't have any alcohol."
"I wasn't giving you any look."
"You were
too
giving me a look. Just stop being such an old grump." Jessica sighed. "We all love you mother, but recently ..."
Monica walked into the room and kissed her sister on the forehead. "...recently Sis, you've been a miserable so-and-so." She kissed her brother-in-law and smiled when she saw he'd poured a Pepsi as not to make his wife unhappy. "She was like this when she was pregnant with you, Jessica."
Jessica grinned a very crooked smile. "Sorry about that, Mom."
"S'okay kiddo, you were worth it. I'm sorry everyone ... it's just I am sick and tired of being fat and cranky and achy and
I want this darned kid out of me
!" Janis moaned.
"We all think you're still gorgeous and sexy, you really do look good, babe!" Mike said, cheering her up a bit. To find a man who accepted her and her family, craziness and all – Janis hadn't expected it after being single all those years, but Mike was the most unique man she had ever known. She had never once regretted taking the bull by the horns and asking him out, even if it had initially shocked him right down to his toes.
"I'm also so fucking horny!" Janis muttered under her breath. "My tits are full of milk and I just ..." She looked over at Monica. "What do you have going on it that mind of yours?"
The petite pixie that was Monica sat by her sister on the couch. "Do you remember what I did to help you out when you were expecting Jess?"
Janis's eyes took on a glazed, far-away look. "Ohhh yeah – how could I ever forget?" She smiled softly.
"I think there's something we're not in on, punkin'," Mike said to his daughter as his sister-in-law helped his pregnant wife to her feet and led her to the bedroom. Monica motioned for them to follow. Mike knew his sister-in-law was up to something and figured there was a 95% chance it was something they'd all enjoy, so he followed.
Monica sat her sister down on the bed and began nuzzling Janis's neck. Mike watched with interest – he wasn't shocked by their play, because
all
of the women in the household had been his lovers at one point or another, as well as each other's. In marrying Janis he had married a true free spirit, a sexual hedonist who lived for the joy and pleasure of sex. Once her daughter turned old enough and showed an interest, Janis taught her all she knew about woman-woman sex. Mike discovered their secret trysts soon after and from that point on; both women shared his bed nightly. Because she didn't do any dating, quite a few members of the community assumed Jessica was gay and she didn't do anything to try and change that perception, in fact, she encouraged it by openly flirting with cute girls. In truth, once she had tasted her Daddy's wonderful cock, there were no others for her –
