Living the Dream, part 13 By: Malissa Madison Note from the Author: No doubt many of you have noticed the changes in style, as well as the shifts from third person to personalization of the story. This is Due to the number of personalities who surface to help in writing it. I hope you can understand how it is to try and edit someone else's work, and just take joy from the tale as it unfolds. Thank you all so much for your comments and reviews. Malissa and the Gang Andre's kitchen was immaculate, not half the size of the one at school. But it was organized in much the same way. Argot, his father greeted them with joy. Then stood back watching wide eyed as did everyone else, as she guided Rachel through the preparations. "Remember, no matter how many times you cook something, you need to test it." She sipped at a spoonful of sauce. "It may need a touch of something as the ingredients might vary from one batch to the next." She added a pinch more tarragon to the pot stirring it a bit to let it blend into the mixture. Rachel dipped her spoon in an took a small taste, her eyes going wide as the flavor burst in her mouth. With a huge smile she offered the spoon to Andre. He let it roll around his tongue the smile growing broader, then he pressed his thumb and two fingers to his lips kissing them. "It is the same as that which I fell in love with two years ago," he announced. Quickly his staff went into high gear as they began preparing duplicates of the dish now on the main menu listed as Escargot Malissa. Those who ordered it would get a full dinner, those who did not would get a one snail sample added to their order courtesy of the house. this had been Andre's practice since he opened his restaurant. Giving each customer a free sample of each new dish on the night that it was officially added to the menu. When dinner was served Greg's mother was there at the table along with Rachel's grandparents. The dinner was flawless, and they celebrated her skills. At the end Andre presented both Malissa and Rachel with a menu of their own. And Greg's mother insisted he return home with her for the rest of the weekend. "I'll come by and pick him up on my way back to school," Donnie promised. "Why can't I stay the rest of the weekend?" he asked his mother. "That girl, May. She reminds me of someone, I just feel uncomfortable," was the only excuse she gave. They talked long into the night on the phone in her room. then both girls rode with Donnie the next day on the way back to school. "Greg it's been wonderful getting to know you. Daddy will be so proud of the man you are becoming." "I never had a sister before, but it's really good to have one now." "This summer, you will get to meet the others," she promised. "I just wish I'd gotten to start school earlier." They didn't get to see each other after that until school was out, when May again came home with our family. When we found out she was going to be riding the bus home both Donnie and Malissa volunteered to drive her. But Donnie won out, so the two left early on Sunday afternoon. "Momma, why does Greg's Mother hate me now?" Rachel asked out the blue the night Donnie was due home. "It isn't you Honey. I think it's that May reminds her of his father." "Oh, Mom can I ask you something kind of personal?" "How personal?" she asked her oldest daughter. "I'm thirteen now right? And umm, the hormones are working like really good." "Rachel are you going to ask me about sex?" Malissa asked to get past all the roundabout discussion. Blushing Rachel said, "Well sort of, I, I wanted to give Greg a blowjob." She looked down at the floor in embarrassment. "And you're afraid you'll not be good at it?" Malissa anticipated where the conversation was going. She nodded yes. "I can tell you about it, Sophie can tell you all about it, but the only way to learn is by doing it." she said. "By doing what?" asked Sophie waddling into the room. "The only sex act you are allowed until after you pop 'Butterball'," Malissa said affectionately. "Well I'm not up to being the trainer at the moment," she said. Now blushing even deeper Rachel stammered, "I, I wasn't thinking about you Mom. I was, umm, I was thinking about making my first time with someone else." Not wanting to embarrass her further Malissa said, "Let me handle the details. I'll let you know after your Daddy gets home." Rachel blushed and hugged Malissa tightly, "Thank you Momma." She dashed up stairs with a new bounce to her step. "What's gotten into her?" asked Sophie. "She wants to try oral sex with Greg, but she's afraid she won't be any good at it." When Donnie got home late just before the younger girls were supposed to be in bed, Rachel practically wrapped herself around him, "I'm so happy you're home Daddy." She kissed his cheek. His arm around her and another cupping her butt, he said, "I'm happy to see at least one of my girls missed me enough to greet me with such enthusiasm." "I better go get ready for bed. I really missed you daddy." She blushed and giggled as she started up the stairs, her young butt wiggling with added exaggeration. After the others had gone to bed I said, "Donnie, Rachel thinks she's ready to learn about oral sex. And I've told her the basics, but she still isn't sure of herself." "So what are you proposing?" he asked. "You know my concerns." "Well I'm not suggesting you go up there and actually let her do you while you talk her through it. I thought maybe if you told her what guys like." Smiling he got up and went to the kitchen, when he came back he was carrying two large popsicles. "Training aids," he smiled. "Oh and we're almost out by the way." He headed upstairs to her room. "Sophie, are you sure you're ok?" she asked with concern. Sophie started crying, "I'm all fat and ugly, and I'm out of ice cream, and the twins want Jalapeno's and popsicles. And, and, Rachel's getting her first time experience and I can't be there to share in it." Malissa kissed her forehead, "Nonsense, you are the picture of feminine beauty, and you were asked before this got started. But you know this is just your Hormones talking." Then Sophie sniffled and laughed, "God you're right, that's why I love you. Now can I have Peppers and popsicles." "I'll just go check on them then I'll run to the store." But she made a quick side trip to the freezer and got the last four popsicles out. She handed one to Sophie then took the rest upstairs. "I don't know Daddy, it's a popsicle not the real thing," Rachel was saying. We talked her through different things and soon ran out of popsicles. "Momma, could I watch you do it? Then I'll see for myself how it's done." I winked at her and she blushed and giggled. Donnie was all too eager let me show her my skills. She crept closer and closer watching with rapt attention as I slowly began relaxing my throat to take him all the way. When he started cumming she giggled, "What does it taste like?" I let it fill my mouth holding it then winking at him first I pulled her into a hug and kissed her lips letting his cum slide over her tongue into her mouth. "Don't swallow it just yet," I heard Sophie near the foot of her bed. "I want a Snowball." She watched Donnie and I as we shared Sophie between us, her eyes growing huge as Donnie took Sophie into his mouth. Rachel was squirming, fighting the urge to masturbate in front of us. "Go ahead Sweetie," Sophie told her. "But you better hurry before Greg gets here." "I told him to use the back door so he doesn't wake up the girls," she said. She was half asleep between us, and I knew Donnie had to be worn out too after the long drive. "Go ahead Honey, I'll be down when she's sound asleep." He kissed her forehead, "Thank you Baby, Goodnight." "Don't let the bedbugs bite," she mumbled. Greg was already snoring, his head on her pillows. "It's good that you waited for me to be here," she told her. "Did I do the other part right? You know with my tongue?" she asked. Kissing her on the lips I said, "Yes you certainly did." Then caressed her cheek. "If you didn't I doubt he'd be asleep yet." She giggled, "No wonder Momma Sophie loves Daddy so much." She eventually fell asleep in Malissa's arms, who tucked her gently into bed and kissed her forehead. Sophie was grumpy the next morning, and after having her coffee she wanted to know if Rachel was even awake yet. "I don't know Love, why don't you go check on her. I'll finish making everyone breakfast." Malissa told her little sister. When breakfast was finished and neither one had showed up Malissa went looking for them. "Wow, now that was a kick," Rachel said. "That's a hell of a pair of feet." "No he's kicking on this side," Malissa said. Sophie grinned at the two. "You little slut, your carrying twins," Malissa said. "Oh my god that's what you're hiding from us about the baby." "Donnie, get in here!" He rushed through the door like gang busters, "Sophie? Are you alright?" "She's fine Love," Malissa turned to her Sister Wife. "Do you want to tell him or shall I? He has a right to know." "To know what?" "Twins," Sophie giggled. He picked up the phone and called his parents, "It's twins," was all he said before calling our parents, "Mom, tell dad its twins. We're having Twins." He scooped Sophie up out of bed and carried her downstairs. "Anything you ask for you just say it and I'll get it." Momma burst through the back door in a rush, then looked stunned to see us all there. "You said it was Twins? Why are you still here, you better get her to the hospital." "Momma I'm fine. I'm not in Labor. But yes I'm going to have twins. Donnie David and Dotty Sue. But don't tell Grandma I want to know if she can tell that too." Greg's Mom finally agreed to let him come with us on our vacation since Monica informed her that the young couple would be well Chaperoned by everyone. It was clear that she still had no clue about Rachel. Or Sophie for that matter. Donnie had given in and rented a huge RV for the trip saying it would be much easier on Sophie. He even taught Malissa how to drive it, which she enjoyed. Half the village turned out to walk Sophie to Grandma's house which now had electricity and Air Conditioning. "The sacrifices one makes for her grandchildren and great grandchildren," she said with a smile. "Well, get on in here, make yourself comfortable. But you'll not want to eat anything out of those pots on the stove child. That's my wash water," she cackled as Rachel dropped the spoon back into the pot and spit out the sip she'd just slurped off the spoon. "Yuck, Grandma that tastes like Lye soap!" "And so it is child, so it is." She was laughing full out now, tears streaming down her cheeks. "You are a true cook young lady, you have to taste everything. Well come along you can help Sarah at the oven out back. She turned to Greg, you should go and get acquainted with the families king stallion before your Father gets here. Red Foot will undoubtedly accept you better if he smells our horses on you too." "Red Foot? My father's name is Red Foot?" "No Child, Red Foot is the name of your families king stallion, As Nachi is the name of ours. Since the Ute Medicine woman is traveling with them they are bringing the Stallion along, with a token gift of Mares to trade." Malissa followed them out to where Rachel got the honor of calling in the herd. Nachi spent a good five minutes pushing him around with his nose before he finally pushed the young couple together closer. "What does his name mean?" he asked Rachel. "It means Wind Walker," she told him. Twenty minutes later we were interrupted by the sound of gravel crunching under tires. Another big RV followed by a huge semi pulling a fancy trailer pulled up close to an empty coral. Donnie hurried to start the water running fresh into the troughs. As two young boys opened the gate. A tall dark skinned man who could only be Elk, jumped out and hurried to the side door letting it down, "Nacona, hai, hai." The big stallion with one red Foot lead out nine mares into the coral. May came flying out of the RV to hug her brother. Followed by a middle aged woman carrying a bowl of water. She dipped her fingers in the water and sprinkled it over his head. Then handed it to another girl behind her before pulling Greg into a huge hug. "Welcome to my Family Son of my husband. You are as my son now also. No matter what the king stallion decides." "Thank you Mother," May whispered into his ear, and he smiled. "Thank you Mother, I am honored." Elk slowly turned him around to look at him, then grabbed him in a bear hug. "Too Long, Split Oak, come meet your brother." He called to his two other sons, the ones who weren't busy seeing to the horses. Four young girls besides May, stood waiting their turn to meet their half-brother. I could already see the new friendships forming, as girls from one tribe eyed the boys from another. When Sarah walked up to Two Tall there was no pretense in the meeting. She threw her arms around his neck and melted into his embrace. "You've kept me waiting long enough," she said. one hand stretching out toward a young girl who'd been helping with the horses. "That is my Husband," said the girl angrily before Sarah turned to look at her. "S, Sarah? Is it really you?" The girls giggled, "Yes Little Doe, it really is me." She giggled. Then the other girl saw the beading on Sarah's dress. "I, I thought it was to be your sister Bambi." She took Too Tall's hand and placed it in Sarah's, "Come husband lets go welcome my sister." "This is the roommate from college you told me about?" he asked astonished. The girls just giggled in response. "Sarah, mind you don't forget the ceremony tonight," reminded Night Bird. Then she welcomed Fox with her own hug. "It seems our families are destined to share more than just one path." "I'm sorry I didn't see this Mother," began the very young girl at Fox's side. "That's alright Sliver, I saw it happening and chose not to stand in its way. You should feel honored that your oldest brother has been chosen to walk the same path as the novice Spirit woman of the Sioux." A week later we were all at the swimming hole having fun when Bambi dove into the water followed by Jon Paul. When she surfaced she jerked up stiff and cried out Sophie, before going limp in the water. I noticed Sarah running from the sleeper of the semi toward Grandma's house. close on her heals were Fox and Sliver. "Donnie!" I yelled as I scrambled to my feet to follow. Panting hard Donnie came into the room still dripping from the river. "Sorry I helped Jon Paul get Bambi out of the water." "Is she ok?" asked Sophie between contractions. "She'll be fine Love, but what about you?" "I'll live I think," she answered just before the next one hit. "Oh god it hurts, it hurts so much." She was saying, and I could see in Donnie's eyes that he thought she was going to crush his hand. "You did this to me, oh god." But then it was over for a few more minutes. She spent the next ten hours swearing she'd never have sex again, both Donnie and I felt as if our hands had been in a crusher, but we smiled for her benefit. The whole village was gathered at the gates when Donnie stepped out first with Dotty Sue. Holding her up to world, as a Meadow Lark flitted from post to post. "Meadow Lark," he announced in the traditions old as time. It was a few minutes later that he emerged with Donnie David, after a bit of a long pause his eyes settled on a young Stallion colt next to the fence bravely pawing at the trough. "Paws For Water," he announced. "Thank you great Father," he said up to the sky. Just like every new father before him he strutted proudly. We lay together with Sophie as she rested, "Thank you Love for choosing the first one for Your Son." "Donnie, you didn't choose the first creature you saw, Why?" Sophie asked. We both burst out laughing, "You remember the joke about two dogs fucking?" "No I never heard it before," she said. "An Indian boys asks the medicine man how his sister got her name. The medicine man tells him, when your sister was born the first creature your father saw was a hopping bird, she was named Hopping Bird." "How did my brother get his name? asks the young boy. And again it's explained. When your brother was born the first thing your father saw was a running pony, so he was named Running Pony. Then the medicine man asks the young boy. Why are you so curious Two Dogs Fucking?" "Oh my god," Sophie exclaimed as she burst out laughing. "That's not what you saw was it?" Laughing Donnie said, "No, but it would have been better than Dog Fucking a Cat." "Who are Little Doe and Too Tall, they've been hanging out with Sarah all week?" Sophie finally asked. "Her Husband and Wife," Donnie answered. "They'll be staying here when Greg's family leaves." "And Crow Calling will be leaving with them," Sarah said. He has pledged his life for Sliver and given her an Eagle Feather as a Betrothal gift." "So Elk has gained two fine sons this summer," Sophie said smiling. "And a wonderful daughter in law," said Smoke Rising, Greg's step mother. +++++++++++++++++ We were more than halfway home when I heard the soft whine from the back of the RV. As I was getting up to investigate Donnie said, "Love please let them think they snuck it past us." I sat back down in my seat, "Ok but you're the one who has to clean up any messes it makes in the house." Smiling he said, "No I think they are old enough to do that themselves." He nodded to the rearview mirror. I sat watching as they quickly mopped up the puddle of pee off the floor. Then hid the puppy back under the seat. When we pulled over to fill up, they used the back door to get out themselves. "Fine if you're going to let them have a dog they need a proper collar and leash. That twine isn't going to last forever." I got up and followed Rachel out to go use the bathroom. "Are you really going to let them keep Tank?" she asked. "Of course we are, we let you keep Mina didn't we?" I referred to the Minor Bird she had in the cage in the RV that Greg had helped her catch. "And they have the lizards. and You have that other puppy that follows you around everywhere." "Momma! Greg is not a Puppy. He won't be chewing up my shoes." I laughed, "No he won't and he won't be humping your leg either." She giggled. Seeing the half grown puppy expressing his dominance by humping Tiffany's leg. She quickly smacked his nose telling him "No, Bad Boy!" "See what did I tell you love," Donnie said as he came up behind us. "They'll teach him to be a good house dog." Sherry had been watching for us and yelled, "Daddy! Can we get ice cream before we leave?" Smiling he said, "Yes, go tell your sisters to hurry up and put Cujo in the RV." "Cujo?" "Whatever his name is. Tell them we'll talk about it when we get home tonight." Donnie told her. She rushed off squealing in delight. "You're a big pushover you know that," giggled Sophie. "Heaven help us when they learn the two most powerful words in a young girls dictionary," I told her. We both giggled at his blank look, "Daddy Please!!!!!" we heard Rachel giggling behind us. "For you young lady it is now Greg Please," but he was smiling as he said it. "She already knows those words sir," Greg commented. We swung by and dropped Greg off at his house on the way home, and thanked his mother for letting him join us on our vacation. She seemed to soften toward Rachel once again. She hugged and kissed her and fawned over the Twins. "What are you doing," I asked Donnie when he backed the RV in next to the garage. "Parking it so we can unload it before I get it ready cleaned out and ready for the next trip." "What!?" both Sophie and I said in unison. "I've decided to buy it. the kids can camp out while we have the whole inside to run around naked and fornicating." Sophie pouted, "I didn't get to do any of that in here yet." "Momma," called Rachel from the kitchen. "I thought we took the trash out before we left." Suddenly we were all suspicious. I opened the fridge. There was only a half jar of Blackberry jelly left, and the milk I'd felt sure would need to be thrown out was nearly empty. "Someone's been here," I confirmed. Out back Donnie said, "It looks like we just missed them." There was a trail of wet foot prints leading from the pool to the door going into the storage shed. Rachel came out with a receipt she'd fished out of the trash. "This stuff was bought two days ago Momma." "That's ok Sweetheart, you go help check to see if anything is missing. I'm going to sit here on the patio." I told her. Everyone made a quick survey of the house and nothing was missing. The only stuff that had been disturbed was Rachel's bed. Someone had been sleeping in it. then she found that one of her swim suits was missing and she had a lot more dirty clothes than she did when we left. "They have to terrified in there," Sophie said motioning to the shed. "Only one way out, and they've gotta come past us to do it," Donnie said. "I think we'll grill out tonight. By the time he had the grill going it was almost dark. And everyone but Donnie Sophie and I had given up watching the shed. So we pretended not to notice when the door cracked open and a figure slipped out and hurried along the bushes toward the gate. "Rachel," I called out. "Your friend Erica stopped by to see you." The young girl skidded to a stop and turned around. "Are you hungry? Donnie's got an extra steak on the grill." She was wearing one of Sophie's old skirts and a blouse I hadn't worn in years. "So how'd the vacation go?" asked Erica. "Did you have fun? Oh the baby, oh," she giggled. "Babies" "It was great, yes Momma Sophie had Twins, this is David and this is Dotty." "They look like your Dad, he's cute for an older guy," she blushed and giggled and stepped back a little too far. Her foot slid over the edge into the pool and she went in with a splash. Rachel was giggling as she helped her out of the water, "you're all wet." "Erica, why don't you go inside and get a towel. I'm sure Rachel has something you can borrow, or you can find something else from the Shed." I told the girl. "Go ahead Honey, we won't bite." Donnie assured her. "I'm Sorry I, I didn't have any place else to go," the girl was crying. And looked up at me, then Sophie. But it was Donnie who responded first, "Lets get you dried off and a plate in front of you. Then you can tell me all about it and we'll decide how we can help ok?" She sniffled and looked up at him, "You mean it? you'll help me?" I could see it in the instant it happened, she showed the barest hint of a smile of hope. That's all he needed, I could see his heart melting. He wrapped a towel around her shoulders and he and Rachel guided her into the house. Erica had befriended Rachel at the beginning of summer, though she never said where she lived, the girl always seemed to be there around meal times. "Are you ready for this one?" asked Sophie. I giggled, "I don't think I really have a choice. But it's Donnie's decision." "She's younger than Rachel is," Sophie pointed out. "By one maybe two years I think," we agreed. "Malissa, Sophie," began Donnie as the three of them returned. "I want your input on this." "You've decided then what you want to do?" "Yes but I want to be fair about it," he said. "Donnie Pierce, did I ask you or Sophie before I decided I was going to bring Rachel into the family? Did I ask either of you before I decided the girls were going to be mine?" "Well, no. But," "You want to Adopt her? Yes or No?" "Yes, but," "Erica, welcome to the family." Sophie and I hugged her. "I trust Rachel told you where you'll be going to school next year?" Sophie asked. "Only if you want to," I added. "Now how old are you so we can let Miss Clara know?" "I'll be ten next week. The day after Rachel's birthday," she blushed. Sophie and I both did a double take. "Ten? I'm sorry your more the size of a ten year old boy than a ten year old girl," I said. she blushed and her eyes went to the ground. "Hey now, No crying. Just tell them straight out," Rachel said. "I'm sorry I can't help it Rachel, I'm used to people trying to make me be what I don't want to be." I pulled her to me, "You can be whoever you choose to be. And if you want to be a girl then we'll certainly help you." I looked over my shoulder at Donnie, "Would you call your Dad and get things started please?" Giggling Rachel said, "Grandpa is on his way over. Daddy called him before we came back out." Vincent arrived at almost the same time as John Andrews. Erica freaked out a bit seeing the young police detective there. "You promised, you said I wouldn't have to go back there." "And you won't, John is just here to make sure that they get you off the search lists." Vincent advised. "He has to verify who you are so they remove the right name and picture." "That's right Honey. If I was here to take you back I'd have a juvenile officer with me. But what I need now most of all is for you to find your picture so I can call it in." "They'll come after me here," she said. John dropped down to one knee, "Who will come after you?" She shook her head no, "I have to know so we can help protect you." "John," interrupted Vincent handing him a missing child flyer. "Erica Sanford," John said. "We've been looking for you for over a year. And there is no way they will be coming to get you. I can promise you that." Looking up she asked, Really, "You mean it they can't take me away?" "It'd be kind of hard from a Federal Prison don't you think?" When we looked the two of them Vincent said, "That high profile case I was working on in Utah. They were selling kids out of the state home, and not caring what happened to them. Erica here sort of got things started when she took off before they could hand her over. The big question was why were they handing over kids in the middle of the night to Adopting parents and why wasn't there any paperwork?" John used his radio. "Sandy, call the feds up in KC and tell them we finally located Erica Sanford. And she is safe and in the process of being Adopted by loving parents." "Oh that is good news John. I'm sure they'll be glad to hear that. He was the last one on the list." "Yes She was." "So you found yourself another one did you?" Vincent asked me. "Oh no," I laughed. "Your son found this one." "Hey I can't let my wives bring all the kids into our family now can I?" We sat and visited a while longer, and Monica showed up. She was giddy at getting to meet her newest granddaughter before Momma and Daddy, who were still on a working vacation with Darla and Charlene. It would be a whole week before they got back. "Well you be sure that your Momma's take you by Justine's Tomorrow," Monica said as she hugged Erica before leaving. "Oh no this is Donnie's experience. He gets to take her on her first shopping spree. Isn't that right?" "I was hoping to have a little help there," he said. "Don't worry," Sophie giggled. "We'll send Rachel with you. I think she's about out grown all her bras again." He looked to me for support, "No I'm going to stay at home with the twins. That way I don't get into trouble buying myself a new wardrobe as well." "You want me to leave the twins with you?" Sophie giggled. I whispered into her ear, "I'm just making him squirm a little bit. He'd forget about the mandatory visit to Mrs Kim's." we both giggled. "Bras, you want me to take our oldest daughter bra shopping?" he asked. "Why not Daddy that way I'll have a man's opinion of how well they show everything off," she giggled as she led her new little sister to be off toward her room. "Come on you can sleep in my room until we get yours set up for you." The house was filled with excited girls the next morning, everyone wanting to go shopping with Daddy for the day. Rachel and I were busy fixing breakfast, she really was getting into cooking now since her experience at Andre's. She often strayed from the recipe, adding her own little zest to what she was making. And this morning was no different, she'd added diced Jalapeno's to the biscuits, making a second batch without for the younger girls. Sophie was sitting at the table breast feeding Dotty when I came in excited. She smiled up at me as took David from Tiffany, then sat down next to her baring my breast, before letting him latch onto my nipple. The shiver of excitement rushed through me as I felt my new milk begin to flow. "Damn girl, I wasn't sure that shot you got was going to work," she said seeing the wet stain soaking through the front of my nitie. Smiling I said, "You really didn't think I was going to make you feed them both all by yourself did you?" "Well it isn't much yet, but hopefully I can help out more as time goes by." Becca scurried through chasing Tank out the door, giggling. "We're probably going to be gone most of the day girls," said Donnie. "You better make sure he has plenty of water, and food." "Where did they get a name like tank for him anyway?" I asked. Smiling Donnie said, "Well it seems pretty appropriate. He barrels through like a Tank." Becca stood next to the table. "Daddy said not to say anything when he helped us put him in the RV," she was giggling. I looked up at him raising an eyebrow. "How was I supposed to say no to that pretty face," he gestured to Becca. "So your sisters put you up to asking Daddy for a puppy did they?" she giggled and shook her head yes as she climbed into a chair and began eating her breakfast. We took two cars to the Mall, Sophie wanted to get out with us too. We took the Explorer and Julie, since there were now so many of us, that we wouldn't all fit in the Explorer. Sophie and the twins rode with Donnie, Rachel and Erica. While the rest rode with me in Julie. When we got to the Mall we found two spaces side by side next to a large passenger van. Donnie paused to look inside as we walked past it. there were three rows of seats in back and bucket seats up front. "Now that's what we need for these Family outings," he observed. "I wonder if they have one across the street at the dealers?" "Oh no you don't, you can go van shopping later. Right now it's all about our two oldest daughters," I reminded him. "Erica needs a complete wardrobe. And Rachel needs new Bras, or do you like her running around with Muffin tops?" Rachel blushed, "Momma I'm fine really. Besides I'll just have to have more by the time school starts." "Nonsense, you'll damage their development if you let them bulge out like that. and any of them that aren't worn out you can pass down to your little sisters if they want them." "Panties too?" asked Tiffany and Sherry excitedly. "We want pretty panties like Rachel." Before I or Sophie could answer Donnie spoke up, "Then I guess my Princesses are all going to get new undies today." "Great, now we can't tell them not until they get into middle school." "Why not?" he asked. Worried now that he'd done something wrong. "Young girls are prone to urinary infections when they wear satin for too long at a time. At least at first until they get used to how they cause things to sweat." I told him "Cotton is much better, it lets a bit of air flow and pulls moisture away from sensitive areas." Sophie continued. "I guess I better modify my promise then." "Love, I think Rachel is explaining things to them so they don't go overboard." I pointed to where Rachel was down on one knee talking to her little sisters. Erica in the midst of the huddle as well. "Don't worry Momma, I explained things to everyone for you. And I showed Erica how to hide things this morning," she giggled. "Who better to teach her than an older sister, right?" I kissed her cheek, "You are growing up so fast." Sophie was pushing the stroller with the twins when we left the girls with Donnie to go make arrangements with Mrs Kim. She fussed over the twins, along with her own daughters. "You lucky Miss Sophie, I'm very happy for you." She said. We saw one of Mrs Kim's Daughters crying. It was Anita the Nail artist of the bunch. "Please forgive her, she wishes she could have a baby as well. But that is not possible for special girls such as her." It was the first time we'd ever gotten any personal information about any of Mrs Kim's family. So Anita the next oldest was Trans-Gendered, we hadn't guessed it in all the time we'd been getting our nails done there. "Does she date?" Sophie asked boldly. "No she does not know any boys she can trust. She had bad experience and then no more." Mrs Kim said. Rachel soon found us and joined in the conversation. "Rachel? Does Greg have any friends that are, you know as open minded and free thinking as he is?" asked Sophie. "What? Momma why are you asking me about that?" Sophie plunged head on with whatever plan she was hatching, "How old is Anita?" A curious smile Mrs Kim answered, "She Twenty One, her own Woman." "Oh, never mind, I think I know someone that might like to date her," Sophie offered. "This person, He not afraid of Special Girls? He be respectful, treat her nice?" "Yes and he's single and the same age as she is," Sophie said excitedly. "Malissa would you watch the twins for me a minute?" But she was out of the shop before I could answer. "Do you know this man?" I was asked. "I'm not sure Mrs Kim. But I trust Sophie. She would never do anything to hurt anyone else. Especially not another T-Girl." "T-Girl? Oh Trans- Girl." Mrs Kim smiled. A minute later Sophie reappeared towing a handsome young man behind her, "Come on Frederick, how many times have you told me you wished you could meet a nice young girl like me, only older?" "Sophie, she won't give me the time of day. I've asked her out before and she said no." We watched as Sophie led him over to where Anita was arranging her polishes and brushes. "Anita? I want you to meet Freddy, he's a very nice young man who desperately wishes to date you." "I'm sorry Miss Sophie but you don't understand. You are the lucky one, you find someone that can love you. No one can love someone like me." "You're wrong Anita, I've tried to tell you that for five years now. Please let me show you." "You find me all beat up in the alley, naked, and you say you love me? How can you love someone like me? I'm not a real Girl, I'm a F," he covered her mouth with his as he kissed her. After a long, long kiss he pulled his lips away from hers, "I don't ever want to hear you say that you are a freak. You are gorgeous, and sensitive, and I've loved you since the first time I saw you." Anita was still gasping for air, her face flushed and goose bumps on her arms. "You, you kissed me in front of my Mother and customers, what will they think of me?" "That you are a damned fool young lady, if you don't say yes." And older lady sitting under a hair dryer said. "Now kiss him back." He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "I'm not afraid of that. it just gives me something extra special to love about you. Another thing we can share together." "But I can't give you children," she said. He waved a hand in my direction, "So we adopt like our friends have done." Christine, the oldest of the daughters working in the shop said, "Go, I'll do your appointments today." Mrs Kim nodded her consent. "Just a quick lunch," I have a special nail appointment I can't let anyone else do for me." "Alright, but then you have to promise to let me take you to dinner." He said. "Hong's at Seven? They have an excellent Calamari." "You like Calamari?" "I had to try it after watching you eat it so often," he confessed. "You've been watching me?" her English was improving as she grew more comfortable talking to him. "I had to know everything about you, I love you. I have since the first day you walked past the leather shop." Now I knew where Sophie had found him. She liked Leather handbags and belts. "Trust him Anita," she said. "He knows if he hurts you I'll kick his ass." After the couple left Mrs Kim said, "Thank you Miss Sophie, I never see her this happy." "And I've never seen Freddy so happy either," Sophie confessed. By the time Freddy walked Anita back to the shop the girls had finished shopping and taken everything out to the cars. They were just starting their second round through the style books when Anita floated dreamily over to Sophie. She kissed her cheek and said, "Come, you get special nails today." I realized that the daughters all spoke broken English on purpose. It made the customers feel special, and they picked up more gossip since the other customers assumed they couldn't understand them very well. Mrs Kim asked, "Who are you little flower? Mrs Kim not see you here before." Erica blushed. "Mrs Kim, this is Erica. Our husbands addition to our happy family," I told her. Becca giggled as they teased and fluffed her hair then styled it in rows of curls, that bounced as she walked. She cried when they'd done her nails, just a simple Manicure and a buff before polishing them bright pink which she picked out herself. She ran squealing into Donnie's arms, "Look Daddy, look I got's big girl fingers. I'm a big girl now." "Yes you are Sweetheart," he kissed her cheek. I felt sorry for Donnie, but he endured the four and a half hours surrounded by giggling squealing excited girls. I think he secretly enjoyed the attention from the other customers who thought he was special for having such a large family. Hell I already knew he was special. But no matter how many times we told him it was ok if he wanted to go off to the Sears tool section or some place more manly he said, "No my girls are here together and I want to be a part of this experience." Erica had her bangs trimmed and got her hair feathered back. Then they made two long strands at the front hang down curling gently to frame her beautiful face. "H, how do I look Daddy, do I look silly?" it was the first time she'd called him Daddy, she was definitely his daughter. He was the first she acknowledged as a parental figure. I could see the tears welling up behind his eyes, "You are so stunningly gorgeous Erika. Malissa, Sophie, look how pretty our newest Daughter is." "She is definitely pretty," I told him. "But I think she looks a bit naked don't you?" She looked at me little frightened, "It's waiting across the way." Mrs Kim giggled knowing our families routine. But she was only momentarily surprised when Donnie pulled out his plastic and handed her the card. She handed him a total, and he looked at it and frowned, then did a quick count of how many of her daughters were in the shop he wrote his own additional tip on the bottom. "Mrs Kim, please you are all great artists here, you deserve the recognition." "But that includes Miss Malissa's usual tips," she protested. He kissed her cheek, "And now it includes mine as well." I knew I'd see the tip once the credit card bill came, so I said nothing. Better to let him have his day of Spoiling us all. He led Erika by the hand into the jewelers shop. "Ahh, Mr Pierce, we just now finished your order." Said the jewelry store owner. And is this the lovely Daughter it was made for?" his eyes settled on Erica and she blushed. "Yes it is, may I have the honor?" As with each of us he opened the necklace box and lifted out the piece gently while her eyes were closed. Then fastened it around her neck, the Diamonds flashed and sparkled in the light. "Ok now you can open your eyes," she stood mesmerized looking into the mirror, tears streaming down her face. "You are my latest Butterfly," he told her. "Daddy, it's so pretty." She noticed the matching earrings still in the box, "Oh no I can't wear those. I, I don't have Pierced ears." Both Sophie and I smiled knowing what was coming, "A Pierce Girl who doesn't have Pierced ears? We'll just have to fix that." She saw the girl standing by with the piercing gun. "Does it hurt?" "Just a pinch, and then we'll find you a pretty jewelry box like your sisters and Momma's have." "Justine? My usual billing method please, and I think each of my girls deserve a new addition to their collection." "Where are you going, I asked him. "To call Bambi to come drive one of our cars home." "So you are going to buy the van without letting Sophie and I be part of the process?" I asked. "Sophie can chaperone the girls, and I will drive the explorer, and Rachel can Drive Julie," I said hearing a gasp from behind us. "Provided she has her keys with her." I called the new van the Family Bus, and the kids all took up the name. Rachel followed Donnie, and I followed her as we headed home. Over the next two weeks we all got settled in and Erica slowly began calling Sophie and I Mom and finally after Momma, Daddy, Darla and Charlene got home, she started calling us Momma. Daddy did his usual and took Erica to get her Diamond Tear drops. Then as Donnie was getting ready to go off with daddy and Chad on a Foreign Consultation, Donnie brought up the subject of school. "Since Sophie graduated last year she won't be going back this year. And I was wondering if any of my girls were going to stay at home to help her." "But daddy we have to go to school." "Yeah daddy, we got's to get smarted up." "Have to Sherry, not Got's to," I corrected my Middle daughter. "Well I for one want to go back to the academy," announced Rachel. "Daddy if we don't go to the academy this year does it mean we can't go back when we get bigger like Rachel and Erica." Asked Tiffany. "Of course you can go back when you start middle school," I told her. "The Academy is for older girls to prepare them for womanhood." "I don't want to go to school," Erica said. "The teachers always look down on me and the other kids always pick on me." "Erica Louise, you have to go to school," Donnie said. "The teachers here won't look down on you. Sophie went to public school here as well as my Sister Bambi and your aunt Jennifer." "But Daddy, they weren't ten times smarter than their teachers." "Whoa, hold up a minute. Donnie?" Sophie started to say. "we need to get her up to the Academy for some tests," I finished suddenly remembering the book she was currently reading. I tried to remember the name and Sophie came up with it. "Erica, how much of the Philosophies of Plato do you actually understand?" "I'm not sure Momma but he makes more sense than Shakespeare did," she answered. And I really enjoyed reading about Leonardo Davinchi's theories." Donnie and I just sat there staring at them while Sophie fired question after question at her then started on Quadratic Equations, and Pythagorean theorems. Donnie began to nod his head, then asked her a question I knew dealt with structural force and load bearing force. When he was done he reached over and picked up the phone, "Dad? Do you still have that Blue print you showed me, at the house?" "Yes," daddy said. "Is there someone you want to see if they're good enough for Rachel?" "No dad I want Erica to look at them." "Donnie she's too young," I protested. "You are never too young to learn. Besides it isn't as if I'm going to enroll her in MIT right away." Now Erica looked scared, "It's just some old blueprints grandpa Vandine has laying around." He told her, and shot me a look that said, "Don't tell her." "Go ahead Sweetheart go look at the moldy old drawings," I pouted. They were gone far longer than expected. And when they got back he said, "You go ahead and pack a few things, the rest we can get when we get there." He was carrying a roll of paper, and went into his study. I went into his study behind him as he unrolled the pages on his drafting table. "Donnie what is that? it's beautiful." I was looking at a drawing of a two story house. "She did this whole thing in about forty five minutes, forty five minutes Malissa." He said it as if it was impossible. He flipped through to the ground floor and I gasped. It was our house, but it wasn't, this one had an enlarged Study and marked off were places for two drafting stations. I looked at the heating and cooling ducts she'd drawn in, "What are these things she's put in here?" He chuckled, "Sound baffles, so she can't hear us playing." "You and daddy are taking her with you aren't you?" "It's only for a Week Love, she'll be home in time to take her placement tests for the Academy." Donnie promised. The next morning he told her to get her birth certificate and her state ID card and social security card. "You'll need it for your temporary Passport. Hopefully by the time we get home you'll have the permanent one." "Erica, stay close to Daddy and Grandpa, there are people over there who'd love to get their hands on a pretty American girl," I warned her. "Donnie, don't let anything happen to her." "I won't Love I promise." He kissed me then Sophie. the rest of the kids were still asleep and he'd made the rounds to each bedroom already. All week it was the same questions over and over from the others, "Why did Erica get to go with Daddy?" "when are they going to be back?" Rachel was exceptionally pouty, Momma, why is she special? I can draw too," "doesn't daddy love me anymore?" It was only four days, but it felt like a month. When he called to say when their flight would arrive I was a bit on the bitchy side. "Donnie, don't ever do this again. You have Rachel in her room crying for the last four days thinking you don't love her anymore." "Oh shit, I didn't think. I'm sorry Malissa." "I'm not the one laying on my bed crying my eyes out because my daddy doesn't love me enough to take me to Bangkok for a week. Donnie that wasn't fair to her. You should have explained things to her before you left." I was mad at him and he knew it. "why didn't you say anything before I left?" he asked. "And be the bad parent? No that was your job. You already had her so excited she would have hated me for saying no." "Will you be there at the Airport?" "I'll be there if Rachel is, but I won't force her to go." "Damnit, I really need you there. For Erica's sake," something had happened. Something he didn't want to talk about on the phone. "Is she ok? Donnie?" my maternal instincts kicked in. "She came close to getting molested. Look I can't talk about it with your dad here." "If Rachel doesn't come with us, I'll have Sophie stay with her. I don't want to have to track her ass down again." He hung up, and a few minutes later Rachel tapped on my bedroom door. "Mommy," she said and it set off alarm bells. She never called me Mommy. "Come in Honey," I told her. Bracing for the next tirade. "I'm sorry your mad at Daddy, I know he loves me, I was just jealous and being stupid. And I didn't really want anything to happen to Erica, honest I didn't." she started crying in my arms. I slid my hand down her arm to look into her eyes, and felt something slippery. I looked at my fingers, my red coated fingers. "Oh god, oh god Rachel," I screamed. Sophie, Call Nine One, One, hurry." I was ripping my nitie apart wrapping it around her arm. "Damnit Sophie Hurry the fuck up." I had her arm wrapped now, and looking at the other one. everything there was superficial. I gathered her in my arms rushing for the stairs. She kept trying to say something but I couldn't hear it, everything was in a tunnel. My foot slipped on the stairs and I slid the rest of the way down cradling her in my arms. I managed to get back up still holding her. Rushing to the garage. Fuck the ambulance I wasn't waiting. I got her in the car and got behind the wheel. "Fuck," I slammed my fist on the steering wheel, I forgot my keys. Reaching under the dash I grabbed the spare. I had to swerve in the driveway to avoid Momma, she was running to the house. "Momma, Momma, MOMMA!" I looked over at Rachel scared. "I'm ok Momma. Please your scaring me Momma." She was unwinding the nitie from her wrist, "Look it's just scratches." I slowed down and pulled over. "See, I was coming to ask you what to do for them." "Oh god Rachel I thought, oh god." I hugged her harder than ever before. Then it hit me, I have to tell Sophie to stop that ambulance. How did you get all those scratches?" "From Florence, she got scared when you were yelling at Daddy on the phone and hid under the bed. I was afraid she'd do something in the house." "Rachel, who's Florence?" I asked her. "Momma please don't be mad. She's really gentle. And she likes taking baths so she doesn't smell." That was when the odor finally hit me. "You are still going to the hospital," I started to drive again. "Why Momma? She didn't really hurt me." "Has she had any shots?" she gave me blank look. "Rachel you can't have a wild skunk in the house that hasn't had her shots." "But Momma, she doesn't have any place to live. I'll take care of her, I'll use my allowance to get her shots. She won't make any messes I promise." "How long has she been in the house?" I asked my oldest daughter. Sheepishly she said, "Three days. And she gets along good with Tank." I turned around and we went back to the house. "Malissa what is going on?" "I'm sorry Momma I freaked out." "Oh my god Rachel what happened?" "I got scratched by Florence, she got scared." Rachel told Momma. Looking at me she said, "And you freaked out thinking Rabies, right? I would never give one of my grandchildren a pet that hadn't had all its shots." "You knew about Florence, Momma?" "Of course I gave her to Rachel, I thought you knew we brought her home after Darla and I went on the overnight camp out with Rachel. She was at the vets getting checked out and all her required shots up until two days ago." The other girls came screaming out of the house leaving the door open. "Girls don't scream in the house, and close the door, oh my god." Sophie backed up out of the house followed by the half grown Spotted skunk. "Here Florence, come here girl," called Rachel, and it ran to her. "See Momma she knows her name already. So I have to keep her right?" "Yes honey you have to keep her now," I was smiling. But let's get her back in the room then we'll see to those scratches." I chuckled. "Your Daddy is going to love this, it's perfect." "Can I take her to the Airport?" "We'll see Honey."
