For lunch meeting the next day I brought up a touchy topic.
"I've been doing some research on a place we can set up our baby club." I announced.
No surprise, I got looks.
"Are we ready for that?" asked Danielle.
"We should know what we can do," I announced, "It will help us make a good decision."
She looked relieved, "We haven't decided yet."
"No. Not yet. But I still think knowing what we can do will help us make a good decision. So we should talk about it. We should talk about what happens if we decide yes... If we decide we want to keep these children we will be growing inside us."
Bell looked at me, "You sound like you've made your choice."
I sighed, "Yes, I admit it. I'm thinking that way. I want to see if I'm being completely baby-crazy, or if there's a way to make something work out that makes sense... beyond being crazy."
I looked around, everyone else was speechless so I continued, "We can rent a fourplex, or we can rent some apartments in some kind of complex."
"You're thinking small," said Bell, "You can rent a villa."
I thought about that, "I guess it depends on what kind of resources we can throw at this. That's a big part of the issue, isn't it."
"And a big part of that will be what the man throws in. This may be something we should bring up at the next class."
"...That sounds like a very good idea," I said.
There was so much to think about. I had no more so say, and no one else did, either.
<<<*>>>
The days before the next class passed quickly -- time was flying and we were having fun. We were teaming up evenings, I got to sleep with him along with Danielle. She is shy during the day, but it seemed like she was never still that night. After the first frolicking session with him, he had us girls frolic together a while. That was new and exciting for me. Then we all cudddled up to get some rest. But I was awakened twice by her and him going at it some more, and, I admit, he and I woke her up once.
I also got in one session of "afternoon delight" with him two days later.
As I think about it, my goodness he has a lot of... stamina! And it's a good thing he's made his money already, however much that is, because this "girl project" is certainly taking up tons of his time now!
<<<*>>>
Class time does come at last. And we bring up the issue of finances. We are seated on the couch. This time we decided to wear sleeveless T-shirt dresses, and nothing else. Bell starts us off -- after we get tied up and felt up, of course. The man sits in his chair and Bell plants herself in his lap. I can see this time she is enjoying his further inspection of her, and she's not in a rush to bring up our first topic. I like seeing that, I don't have to worry so about her.
She finally does, she gives him a quick kiss says, "To business, dear. We girls have been doing some thinking and planning about a place to live, and we need to hear about what kind of financing we can expect from you."
Our man smiles and gives her a big hug and longer kiss back, "I'm delighted to hear it!
"I like things simple, so here's the deal: I will give each of you two thousand dollars a month for each living child of mine you are caring for, up to age eighteen. I will also pay for college tuition and expenses. ...And that's it."
"What about health insurance?" asks Bell.
"You're getting that from work already, aren't you?"
"...So true. I guess you're not asking us to give up jobs, are you."
"I'm not. You're going to be 21st century moms. And not solos, I'm delighted to hear, you'll be a club."
"What if we have more than one child?" asks Charlene.
"I'll pay two thousand for each living child that has half my DNA. If you have two of mine, you get four thousand."
"Are you good for it?"
"Yes."
"Up to how many?"
Our man grins, "Oh... a hundred or so, by my last count."
Our man gives Bell a nice thigh rub, then says, "Next" She kisses him back and hops up. I take her place.
Our man rubs my shoulders and neck, and slides my dress straps off my shoulders as he does so. He's exploring my chest, he doesn't quite uncover my nipples, but he does reach in to check them out, and I'm turned on and distracted for a few moments.
"Bell has suggested a villa," I say.
"Umm... that sounds neat."
"Should we plan on a room for you... should you decide to come visit?"
He thinks a bit, looks at all of us, "In truth, I haven't been planning on it. I figured you all would like me out of your life as soon as possible. I am a crazy man, after all."
I thought about what he said. He was right. He was also rubbing me some more as I thought and I didn't mind that at all. I kissed him, "You're not the first crazy man I've had to deal with, and now that I've gotten to know you, far from the worst."
I looked at the others, "Ladies?" I looked back at the man, moved my face in for the kill, and gave him a nice, long, sloppy kiss. Then I stood up and let one of the others take my place, Charlene was first up, and the others lined up behind her. She planted herself in his lap and gave him a big kiss too. Then Bell, Danielle was the last, she stayed and cuddled him.
Our man seems to have gotten the message. His eyes were only half open has he felt Danielle up and down, front and back. She started kissing his neck.
"Umm... Oh my! A surprise in every package. You ladies have given me something to think about."
