Love Unexpected - 3
by Invid Fan (invidfan@localnet.com)

***

Sequel to "Incidents of Taylor". Wives. Kids. Fred had 
it all... and when it came time to chose either them or 
his career, it was no contest. Maybe a vacation to the 
World Science Fiction Convention can relieve some of 
their stress, although vacations never seem to go as 
planned for this family. (FFM, 1st, bi, rom, preg)

***

Violet ran around the outside of the house, looking for 
a Mommy.

The advantage to being the oldest child was you usually 
had first crack at telling your side of the story, but 
it still relied on getting to a parent first. At three 
and a half, Violet was an old hand at this, but the 
sheer number of parents she had to take into account was 
often more than her young mind could deal with. However, 
having that many people to love you more than made up 
for it, and more often than not the little girl felt 
pity for those with just one Mommy.

Violet rounded a bush, and stopped. This caused her 
three year old sister Cindy to run into her, and they 
both tumbled to the ground laughing. A giggling tickle 
fight broke out, and it wasn't until she had her sibling 
pinned to the ground that Violet remembered her quest. 
She stood, brushing the grass from her shirt and knees, 
and ran over to Mommy Taylor

"Mommy! Freddy hit me!" Cindy waddled up next to her, 
nodding in support of big sister while sucking a thumb. 
Cindy tended to support both sides in these disputes, as 
if her brother and sister were in trouble then she 
herself wasn't.

Taylor put the sleeping bag down next to the van, and 
looked down at her daughters. Both were the splitting 
image of their mothers. Violet had smooth shiny black 
hair falling to her shoulders, skin the color of light 
chocolate, bright brown eyes and a default impish 
expression. She was growing fast, and while not fat was 
rather solid. Not so little Cindy. Like Taylor she was 
as thin as a stick and always seemed to be in danger of 
blowing away. Her hair was long and brown and her skin 
was almost pure white, but while Cindy's eyes were the 
green of Taylor's they had the look of her father. They 
seemed to convey deep thought, although at this point 
the only thought involved whether to switch to sucking 
the other thumb.

"Well, did you hit your brother first?" Taylor put her 
hands on her hips and cocked an eyebrow at them, trying 
to act the tough parent. It wasn't easy. She was the 
pushover in the family and everyone knew it. 

Violet considered her answer. Lying was out of the 
question. You couldn't lie to a Mommy, nor (shudder) to 
Daddy! But, not saying something wasn't the same as 
lying. What could she say to avoid the question...

Unfortunately, Cindy hadn't developed that sense of a 
moral grey area yet.

"Violet was hitting Freddy, an' I was holding him, then 
he got away and started hitting us!" This got Cindy a 
mean look from her sister, which she ignored and went 
back to sucking her thumb.

"Well," said Taylor, looking down at the duo, "that 
seems fair to me." Just then the two and a half year old 
in question came running around the house, waving a Nerf 
bat and yelling. The girls screamed, and ran around the 
car to get away from the charging sibling. The brown 
haired tan skinned boy chased them around the van twice, 
all three laughing, and Taylor flattened herself against 
the side of the vehicle and watched the battle. She was 
tempted to join Freddy in the chase.

The front door opened, and out walked Mommy Anita. She 
paused on the top of the steps, holding six month old 
Jaxom in her arms as she took in the scene. The two 
girls immediately changed course and headed towards her, 
their screaming laughter increasing. Anita walked down 
to the sidewalk as the two crashed into her legs, 
hugging her and giggling. She looked over at Taylor, who 
laughing had picked up Freddy and was tickling him. The 
two mother's eyes met, and for the millionth time in the 
past three years they were the happiest people in the 
world. The slightly older Mayan woman then looked down 
at her clingy daughters.

"OK, lunch time! Go wash up!" The two yelled in glee and 
dashed up the stairs into the house. Taylor put Freddy 
down and he followed them in, yelling for them to wait 
up. Taylor walked up to Anita and gave her son a quick 
tickle. Jaxom giggled sleepily, then tried to use 
Anita's right breast as a pillow. The mothers again 
gazed lovingly at each other, and Taylor leaned in for a 
quick tender kiss. Breaking it off they realized they 
were a bit too exposed out here in front of the house. 
Anita sighed, and raised her free hand to caress 
Taylor's cheek. 

"Do you think he'll be OK?"

Taylor sighed, copying the gesture.

"No. But he's doing it for us. We have to do what we can 
to help him through this." She looked around, taking in 
the warm end of June day The flowers in the garden were 
a brilliant yellow and red, the two large Maple trees 
flanking the driveway created a green archway that 
seemed to separate their little paradise here from the 
rest of the world. Why did reality keep intruding...

"Well, he'll be home soon enough." Anita handed Jaxom to 
his birth mother, and the two of them made their way 
inside. "What will be, will be."

***

Fred pulled his car into the driveway, careful not to 
block the van in. Turning it off, he closed his eyes and 
leaned back. 

It was over.

Ten years, and his teaching career was already over. 

It was his own fault, naturally, although he couldn't 
see how it could have been avoided. Well, he COULD see, 
but neither option was something he could ever do. One 
would require living a lie, living in constant fear of 
discovery, and the other would have meant not having the 
best family anyone ever had. Giving up your dream career 
was nothing compared to keeping that.

The problem naturally was people. More specifically, 
people who expected teachers to somehow be if not 
perfect, at least not in any way out of the ordinary or 
"morally" questionable. The more conservative the school 
district, the worse this was. In some places nobody 
openly gay would be allowed in a classroom, others would 
object to a Muslim or Atheist teaching (although that 
would never be the official reason for termination). For 
the small town Western New York district Fred had made 
his own, having two wives would have been the final 
straw.

The news hadn't made the rounds yet, mostly thanks to 
him living a half hour away just outside Buffalo. But, 
after three years word was starting to spread, and a few 
of his friends had asked some pointed questions. It was 
time to leave now before this became a public scandal 
and his lovers were dragged before the spotlight in 
shame. He could never have lived with having done that 
to them.

Fred opened the car door and stepped out, and that must 
have been the signal because the front door suddenly 
burst open and out poured four kids and two wives. The 
three oldest children made the dash in half a second, 
while Jaxom had to wait until Taylor had descended the 
concrete steps and deposited him on the grass until he 
could half stagger, half crawl over to his Daddy. Fred 
knelt on the grass with Violet, Cindy and Freddy hanging 
off of him and welcomed Jaxom with a big hug. 

With a growl he shook himself as he rose, tossing off 
giggling kids in every direction as he stood up straight 
holding Jaxom. Anita and Taylor were suddenly there, and 
the family shared a big hug. A few cars passed by as 
they stayed like that for a few moments, then Anita 
shooed everyone inside. The kids ran back in while the 
adults took their time, Fred flanked by his beautiful 
companions.

"Everything go OK?" asked Anita, her eyes searching his 
face for any sign of worry. It would be just like him to 
try and hold back.

"Yeah..." Fred sighed. "I don't think I'll really 
consider this the end until fall comes and I'm not in 
class. It's always possible in three months I'll be in a 
class room again..." He gave both of them a squeeze. "I 
just need a vacation."

Taylor leaned against her man.

"Well, you're in luck."

***

The sun had vanished from the sky and the stars were 
starting to twinkle when the kids were finally put to 
bed in the tent. Taylor exited the large nylon 
construction (at three rooms it was bigger than her 
first apartment), zipped it up, then turned to look 
towards the fire. They had set up camp in a small 
clearing on a wooded hill. No water, no electricity... 
just a few hundred yards of gravel roadway connecting 
them to the rest of the world. Anita had heard of this 
place from someone at work and had gotten permission for 
the weekend. Both of them agreed this was what they 
needed.

Fred had set up a double cot up as a lounge chair, 
complete with raised back, and was sitting in the middle 
looking up at the stars. The embers from the fire 
floated up to join them, making new constellations every 
few seconds. Taylor couldn't tell what he was thinking, 
or even if he had any thoughts beyond the beauty of the 
night. Her eyes picked out Anita emerging from the 
darkness where the van was parked, probably having put 
the coolers in it for safe keeping. 

Anita paused just on the edge of the firelight, taking 
her own long look at their man. Taylor moved up herself 
so her wife could see her, and after a moments silent 
communication they nodded to each other and stripped. 
Leaving their clothes where they dropped the two made 
their way to either side of the cot and joined Fred. He 
was startled when they suddenly appeared next to him, 
but with a chuckle at their nudity he put an arm around 
each and drew them against him.

"Now this," he said, turning his head to give each woman 
a brief kiss, "is how camping should be." They all 
laughed at that, then Taylor pulled herself partway on 
top of him and looked into his brown eyes, her green 
ones sparkling. Her right hand caressed his cheek.

"I love you, Fred." She lowered her head and kissed him, 
tender and yet submissive. As soon as she felt him 
kissing back, she allowed his lips and tongue to have 
their way with her. She pulled back, and only partly 
slid off of him as Anita pulled herself onto his right 
side. Anita caressed his entire face with both hands, 
her soul visible in her dark eyes. 

"I love you." She leaned down and kissed him, her lips 
much more sensual and offering teasing hints at what was 
in store for her lovers later. Anita's head rose, a 
brief wet glistening strand connecting their lips before 
it broke. She felt a hand turning her head, and found 
herself looking into Taylor's eyes. The two whispered 
their love to each other, then kissed. They felt Fred's 
hands lightly caress their spines, and each could feel 
the other shudder. 

"I don't think words can describe my love for both of 
you, and nothing I can do, will ever be enough to show 
how much you mean to me." The women broke their kiss, 
and Taylor began to grab the bottom of his T-shirt. 

"Then I'll guess you'll have to let us show you."

Taylor pulled Fred's shirt off, then began to undo his 
jeans as Anita moved up offered a breast to him. Fred 
nibbled and sucked on the dark full breasts before him, 
causing his wife to close her eyes and moan. He lifted 
his ass a bit and a moment later Taylor had his pants 
and underwear off. It wasn't long before he felt soft 
licks along the bottom of his cock. 

Fred redoubled his efforts on the soft mounds, but with 
a sudden movement Anita sat up and moved to straddle 
him. Taylor rose and did so as well, and Fred found his 
hard cock trapped upright between their bodies. His two 
wives leaned into each other, Taylor's hands reaching 
around to cup Anita's breasts while she pressed her own 
smaller mounds into her back. With the dying fire behind 
them, they looked like the magical creatures Fred knew 
them to be. Slowly, they began to rise and fall as one, 
fucking him.

Taylor felt her own needs rising, and she bit her bottom 
lip. It was time.

"My loves..."

Anita turned her head, and Fred reached out to touch her 
leg. She tried again.

"My loves... I want another baby..."

She closed her eyes. Taylor didn't know how they'd 
respond. Four children already to take care of, the 
future uncertain... and Anita unable to have more of her 
own. That was the worst. Fred Jr's birth had been hard, 
and they had decided to never risk Anita like that 
again. She had been happy when Taylor's belly swelled 
with Jaxom, as that had given both two, but now...

Taylor felt a kiss, and opened her eyes to find Anita 
had twisted to face her. She brought both hands up to 
Taylor's face, wiping away tears the brown haired girl 
hadn't even known were there. Taylor also felt Fred's 
strong hands caressing her thighs. Looking she saw the 
love flowing from each of them. 

"Have our baby," Anita said, and turning back to face 
Fred she scooted forward a bit on his tummy. "We'll both 
fuck him, and you'll receive the seed of our husband." 
Fred's hands guided Taylor to rise up, Anita rising too, 
and then with a shuddering groan Taylor lowered herself 
onto her stallion's cock. She could feel it pulse within 
her, as if it knew she had an egg starting the trip to 
meet it. She began to rise and fall, and Anita followed 
her every movement. 

Fred's eyes were half closed as he watched both his 
mates fucking him, the sensations and emotions 
overwhelming. He moved a hand between Anita's legs, and 
she moaned as she found herself impaled on two of his 
fingers with his thumb rubbing her clit. She had always 
been the most sensual of the three, and Anita found 
herself quickly rising to the brink. Taylor lightly 
biting her neck was the final straw, and she came, hard, 
soaking Fred's hand. Only the two hands on her breasts 
kept her in time with Taylor, and she felt that speed 
increasing as Taylor started to reach her limit. 

Anita only half saw the glistening finger Fred was 
holding up to her, but instinctively she opened her 
mouth and tasted her juices. She savored the flavor... 
before meeting her soul mates she had never realized 
what tastes and smells of a lover could do to her. Now 
she lived for them. Fred's hand went over her shoulder, 
and Taylor sucked the other finger, and just the 
knowledge that her wife was tasting Anita gave her 
another small cum.

Suddenly they felt Fred start to buck hard against them, 
and all three increased speed. Fred's hands suddenly 
clamped onto Taylor's waist, holding her down, and the 
feel of his seed coating her sent Taylor into one long 
orgasm. Her partners could just make out the word 
"baby!" among her moans and groans. She leaned back, 
hands grasping her ankles and breasts thrust into the 
sky, holding that trembling pose for a half minute or so 
before collapsing. Soon both women were lying half 
asleep on top of a similarly exhausted Fred. 

They stayed like that for a few minutes, until Fred 
suddenly slapped at his arm. He sighed.

"OK, unless we want to all get eaten in the not so good 
way, it's time to go into the tent."

***

Cousin Debbie almost burst through the front door of her 
house as the van came to a stop in her driveway. Fred's 
feet had just touched the ground when she was there 
giving him a big hug. Embarrassed, as he'd never been on 
hugging terms with the extended family, he hugged her 
back for a moment then created some space.

"Hello," he said, smiling. Laughingly she echoed the 
greeting, and stepping back they appraised each other. 
Fred didn't think he had seen her since the death of his 
parents a half decade or so ago. He had never been one 
for visiting cousins or aunts, although he enjoyed the 
meetings well enough. He wasn't even sure who everyone 
was, especially once you got beyond immediate relations. 

Debbie, though, he knew. She was the daughter of his 
mom's sister, and at around 40 maybe 6 years his senior. 
Whereas at 6 foot he took after his dad's Polish side, 
she reflected the English/Scottish/Whatever genetics of 
generations of New York farm wives. At about 5' Debbie 
was taller than her mother, and Taylor for that matter, 
but she had a solid build and nice curves. And breeding 
hips, although she'd only popped out two kids.

"I couldn't believe it when you called yesterday!" 
Debbie gushed. "I haven't seen you in ages!"

"I know, I'm sorry. I'm just not the family gathering 
type. But, once Anita found out I had family near where 
we were camping..."

It was then that Debbie noticed the clan gathering 
around her. She raised an eyebrow at Fred, who managed 
to look like an embarrassed teen despite towering over 
her. Laughing, Debbie didn't wait for introductions.

"Well, hello! I'm Debbie." Anita stepped forward, while 
Taylor got the kids into a sort of line.

"I'm Anita, and this is Taylor." This got both of them 
warm hugs. "And these are our kids, Violet, Cindy, 
Freddy, and Jaxom." Debbie immediately noticed the lack 
of any indication of exact relationships, and as the 
kids mobbed her she gave Fred another raised eyebrow.

"It's... complicated." She nodded, picking Jaxom up.

"Well, let's go inside. John and the kids are off at a 
soccer match and won't be back for awhile. I have some 
sandwich fixings and we can have a good talk."

***

A half hour later the three oldest kids were deposited 
in front of 'The Little Mermaid', and the four adults 
and a sleepy Jaxom were sitting at the kitchen table. 
Debbie was enthralled as Taylor and Anita told her their 
own fairy tale, of rape, abandonment, hopelessness, then 
true love and family. Fred stayed out of it, apart from 
correcting some of the more extreme boasting. He knew 
when he was outnumbered.

"So," Debbie asked, "you go from not seeing anyone, from 
what your mom would talk about, to a harem!"

"I've offered to get Anita and I silky harem outfits, 
but he's said no!" Taylor pouted, and the other two 
women laughed while Fred just looked up at the heavens.

"We have a standing rule now not to help beautiful 
single women," he said, jokingly. "Too many instantly 
fall in love with me and it's getting to be a pain!"

"Aww," Both Taylor and Anita leaned over and patted his 
shoulder in sympathy. Debbie just shook her head.

"Aunt Shirley would be happy you have such a wonderful 
family, Fred. Although four kids! I had a hard enough 
time with two!"

"Hopefully five," Taylor added, rubbing her belly. 
Debbie just looked at her as the others chuckled. 

"Actually," Anita said, "that's one reason, besides 
obviously wanting to start to get to know our husband's 
family, we're here." Debbie sat up, interested. Cook 
tradition was that family was there to help family, so 
the five years of silence meant nothing. "There's 
something coming up at the end of August that we want to 
go to in Philadelphia. We CAN take the kids, easily, and 
were planning to, but they'd be bored and we couldn't do 
as much. If we had relatives who could look after them 
for five or so days..."

"August? Shouldn't be a problem, I don't think. I do 
some babysitting weekdays so they'd have kids to play 
with, and we can do stuff. What's in Philadelphia?"

Fred grinned.

"The World Science Fiction Convention. Very geeky." 
Debbie laughed. Her older brother had read lots of sci-
fi, passing the books down to Fred, but she was never 
into it. "I've gone to a few, and they're s a blast. 
Once the kids are ten-ish, I'd say they'd have fun. They 
have kids programs and limited daycare. But for now, not 
so much."

"So, what goes on at one of these?"

"Oh, tons of stuff. It's not like the huge Comic Con you 
may have heard about, as this is mostly about books, but 
they have lots of scientists and authors talking, panels 
on how not to get published, art shows... Taylor's going 
to set up some of her paintings and we'll see if we can 
sell something or make contacts." Taylor squirmed 
awkwardly, as she always did when her art was talked 
about. It was odd, but that always seemed a more 
personal subject to her than family matters. 

Debbie took a sip of fresh brewed ice tea, and sat back.

"Well, you'll have to get me a stuffed Harry Potter or 
something."

****

There is nothing more frightening than children being 
left with a stranger for the first time. The crying, the 
worry... Fred hoped Taylor and Anita were over the worst 
of it now that they were in Philly. The conversation in 
the car had been a downward spiral of sadness only 
stopped when Fred started pumping The Donnas through the 
speakers. You can't be sad while listening to The 
Donnas.

The convention officially started noon on Wednesday, so 
the trio drove into Philadelphia early Tuesday morning. 
Fred dropped the women off at the convention center so 
they could set up Taylor's paintings at the art show, 
then drove to the hotel to park. He was paying for this 
spot for the whole week, so damn it he was going to use 
it. It would give him a chance to check in, then test 
the walk to and from the convention center as well. They 
had booked late, so were probably a good half hour walk 
away. Not ideal, but it could have been worse. In 
Baltimore the hotel had been uphill both ways.

Fred set off on the walk back, happy. He was at another 
World Con, this time with those he loved. He had been 
planning on going to one with Lisa, but... well. That he 
still thought of Lisa as much as he did surprised Fred. 
He would have thought, with two current loves, the 
memory of his beautiful Lisa would have not exactly 
faded but maybe become something only recalled with 
specific promptings. But, no. She was still alive in his 
mind, giving advice and commenting on things. And 
throwing the occasional willing woman in his path, 
although luckily that had stopped after Anita. Fred 
didn't know if he could handle three.

He had only walked a couple blocks when Fred suddenly 
stopped in front of a large window. Well, this solved 
tons of problems. A 24 hour greasy spoon! He looked in, 
saw the long counter and rows of booths, then took in 
the menu posted outside. Perfect. Unhealthy as hell, but 
here was a good breakfast to start the day and a 
fallback dinner place if they didn't find anything else 
interesting. Fred started walking again, whistling a 
Black Sabbath tune.

The street he was on hit a large plaza in front of city 
hall, and for the fun of it he took a right and wandered 
over to get a better look. Eh, just your normal city 
hall. Couldn't match Buffalo's art deco penis shaped 
structure! Swinging left he ambled past a large stone 
church-like structure... then stopped. Turning, he 
walked over to the brass plaque on the wall and re-read 
it. "Masonic Temple Grand Lodge". Fred backed up a few 
steps and looked up at the massive grey edifice. He 
turned and looked at City Hall across the street, then 
back at the Temple. He started laughing. Now THIS was a 
secret society!

A few minutes later he saw Anita and Taylor standing 
waiting for him. 

"That didn't take long. Everything set up to your 
satisfaction?" Taylor folder her arms and huffed, but 
Anita just grinned at her wife.

"No, but it's the best we can do. If we can keep her 
from going down there and fiddling every hour we'll be 
OK." Fred raised an eyebrow at the pouting long haired 
beauty, and she just glared back.

"It's my first public showing, OK?!?" she snapped. "I'm 
nervous!"

Fred put himself between them and snaked an arm around 
their narrow waists. 

"All the more reason to do some sightseeing today while 
we have the chance." Without waiting for protest he led 
them away.

****

They saw Independence Hall, naturally. Anita, new to the 
country still, was fascinated. She tried to compare what 
happened here with the various rebellions and coups in 
Mexico and just shook her head. Hell, none of those 
would even make a good musical. They walked out humming 
'Piddle, Twiddle And Resolve', then after a quick look 
at the Liberty Bell Fred had them jump on a bus to go to 
the harbor. There was something that he had been waiting 
years to see.

"My god, it's beautiful..." 

Anita had never seen anything like it. They stood on the 
shore next to a... naval work of art. The U.S.S. 
Olympia. The hull was a bright white, with a red stripe 
along the water line. The superstructure and masts were 
a golden tan. The lines were straight and strong, the 
weapons and ornamentation a mix of 19th and 20th 
century. 

A massive gun turret rested on each end of the deck, yet 
small one barrel turrets stuck out from the sides in odd 
places. Seeing it made her realize that beauty can be 
independent of function, and some of her husband's 
fascination with weapons of war now made more sense. She 
turned to look at him, and saw tears starting to flow 
from his eyes. She took his hand and squeezed it, 
questioningly.

"They may scrap it." Taylor let out a gasp, and looked 
at him in horror.

"Why?!"

"They let it sit without conserving it, and they're out 
of money." Fred sighed and looked down at them. "It's 
the only ship left from the Spanish American War, and 
the idiots let it rust to nothing." Raising his gaze 
again, he tried to drink in every rivet. "Maybe they'll 
find a home for it. I hope so. I want nothing more than 
to have my sons, and grandsons, walk its decks." Fred 
laughed. "Maybe the Buffalo Naval Park can get it."

Getting a hold of himself, Fred offered an arm to each 
of his women and led them on board. They wandered from 
cabin to cabin, and Fred took photos of both them and 
various interesting features. When they were alone for a 
moment the girls quickly bared their breasts and posed 
next to one of the deck turrets. Too bad that photo 
couldn't be used for fund raising.

It was 6 PM before they made it back to the hotel, tired 
but happy. They stopped by the van and removed their 
luggage, then headed up into the front lobby to seek out 
the elevators. As they passed the desk, Anita had an 
idea and handed her bag to an already over loaded Fred.

"I'm going to check on good places to eat nearby. I'll 
be up in a minute." Fred good naturally cursed her, and 
they parted.

As Anita approached the desk clerk, she noticed a crying 
woman pleading with him. She had short, curly blond 
hair, large glasses, and was wearing a dark blue blouse 
and jeans. She was obviously incredibly upset, and as 
Anita walked up to the other end of the desk the woman 
dropped her shoulders in despair, turned, and picked up 
her two bags. One of them had a small knit blue and 
white rectangular box clipped to the handle. Focusing on 
her own task, Anita turned to the obviously relieved 
clerk and got directions to a couple potential dinner 
spots a few blocks away. Thanking him, she turned 
towards the rest of the lobby.

The woman had seated herself on a couch in the middle of 
the room. Her face was one of confused frustration. 
Anita started towards the elevators, but... she looked 
at the stranger again. There was something about her. 
Her feet took her towards the blond.

***

This couldn't be happening.

Rachel looked down at the printout for the hundredth 
time. Tuesday, August 16th. It said so right there, like 
it had on her computer screen at home and like it did on 
her iPhone. So why the hell did the hotel say her 
reservations weren't till next week?!? What the hell was 
she suppose to do?!?!

Calm down, girl, calm down, she told herself. You can 
handle this. So all your plans on your first real 
adventure have fallen apart right from the get go. 
That's the fun part of vacations, right? No plan 
survives contact with the enemy and all that. She was a 
strong adult.

So why did she just want to fold up in a ball and cry?

"Excuse me?"

Rachel's head whipped up. Standing before her was a dark 
haired, curvy Hispanic woman She was wearing red shorts 
and a halter top that showed off her ample breasts. 
Rachel had no idea who she was, and she just looked at 
her for a moment. Dealing with strangers was NOT her 
strong suit. Nor a suit she even had in the closet, to 
be honest. The woman smiled, a completely honest smile, 
and spoke again.

"I'm sorry to bother you, but I saw you walk away from 
the hotel desk... is there anything I can do?"

Rachel must have shown something on her face that told 
this stranger some of what was going through her mind, 
as she sat down on the far end of the couch giving 
Rachel lots of space.

"Are you going to the World Con?"

Rachel's eyes widened.

"Yes! Yes! It's my first one! How could you tell?" The 
woman smiled.

"The Tardis on your bag was a clue. We're going too; in 
fact we checked my friend's paintings into the art show 
earlier." The woman extended a brown hand. "I'm Anita."

"Rachel." Rachel reached over and shook, then retreated 
back to her side of the couch. Realizing that now they 
weren't really strangers, and she did need to talk to 
SOMEONE, she sighed and looked down into her lap. "They 
screwed up my room reservations."

"They what?" Anita looked shocked, and Rachel picked up 
and waved the paper printout.

"All my confirmation's say I have a room starting today, 
but their computer says it's not till next week. And," 
she continued, a note of despair returning to her voice, 
"they have no free rooms. Nobody does. This was the only 
place in my price range within the city limits..." Her 
hands started shaking. Next thing she knew the dark 
stranger was sitting way too close to her and putting 
her hand on Rachel's arm. Rachel froze, and sensing she 
had overstepped herself Anita casually removed it and 
put both hands in her own lap. She looked at Rachel with 
concern in her eyes.

"I'm so sorry..." Rachel mentally yelled at herself. Why 
was she like that. This person was just trying to be 
nice. There was no reason to be mad at her. It's not her 
fault Rachel was so emotionally and socially screwed up. 
She took a deep breath.

"Look... I'm sorry. I'm not at my best at the moment." 
She reached out and gently touched Anita's bare arm, 
then withdrew her hand back within her personal space. 
The smile she got back made her blush. Anita cocked her 
head at her.

"Have you eaten yet?"

The change of subject froze Rachel for a moment, then 
with a slight smile she shook her head no.

"Well, my friends and I were about to go out and eat 
once we got the luggage up to the room. They're probably 
wondering if I got lost or something. Would you like to 
join us? It's easier to think on a fully tummy, and we 
can consider your options."

Rachel bit her bottom lip. Part of her wanted to jump at 
this offer of friendship, needed to in fact. It had been 
so long... and part of her was raising reminders of why 
it had been so long, and urging the walls to go back up. 
Anita waited patiently for an answer. Then, suddenly, 
she raised her arm and waved.

"It's my friends!"

Rachel turned, and her heart stopped. Leaving the 
elevator was a tall brown haired man wearing jeans and a 
black Weird Al T-shirt. Next to him was a short white 
waif of a girl with amazing long brown hair, but Rachel 
hardly noticed that. Her eyes were on the man's face. 
Those eyes... 

Rachel had had crushes. Hundreds. She may have never had 
a romance, but she was romantic to the core and had 
pined over many boys who had never even noticed her. 
Never had they caused this reaction. Her mouth went dry, 
and to her horror her panties got wet. She felt not just 
her face, but her entire body turn red in embarrassment. 
It got even worse when she realized Anita was still 
sitting right next to her and getting an up close view 
of her. She slowly turned towards her, and saw... 
understanding and compassion. And a twinkle of humor. 
Anita stood as the newcomers walked up, and made the 
introductions.

"Rachel, this is Fred and Taylor, my friends I was 
talking about. Fred, this is Rachel. She's going to the 
convention, but the hotel fucked up her reservations so 
she has no where to stay." Despite her embarrassment 
Rachel was observant enough to notice the quick look 
Fred shot his friend, his raised eyebrow answered by 
smile and a shrug. The brown haired girl looked like she 
was going to break out laughing. Rachel rose to her feet 
and shook their hands. Fred's hands were strong, rough, 
warm... she never wanted to let go. She imagined that he 
felt something too when they touched, that there was 
something in his eyes... Taylor's grip was light and 
soft, and she smiled warmly.

"She hasn't eaten yet, so I figured the four of us could 
go somewhere. We can toss her bags in the van for now so 
she doesn't have to carry them." Rachel protested 
weakly, but the others assured her it wasn't a problem 
and soon they were walking down the street in the waning 
daylight. 

They were a trio, Rachel quickly realized. An honest to 
god, three way romance. Like something out of a Heinlein 
novel. The two women even had wedding rings! Rather than 
feel jealous that he was already taken, she felt 
excited. Too much was happening.

They found themselves at a seafood place, a little high 
priced but not that bad. Rachel picked something cheap, 
but seeing that Taylor asked her to pick an appetizer 
for them to share. 

"We're not made of money, but we're here to have fun."

Once the orders were in, they asked about her. There 
wasn't much to tell. Rachel was an 18 year old recent 
high school grad, living at home while planning on 
attending school at Indiana University for Engineering. 
She was treating herself to this trip, a reward for 
nothing in particular but she was sure she deserved one 
for something. It was her first time out of state, first 
time flying... lots of firsts so far. She refrained from 
adding she hoped there'd be some more.

"But what about you guys," she asked, not wanting to say 
all that much about herself. "Where are you from?"

"Well," said Fred, taking a sip of Pepsi, "We live 
outside of Buffalo. I grew up there." He looked at 
Anita.

"I'm from Chichen Itza!" Fred burst out laughing, and 
Rachel joined when the others did too even if she wasn't 
sure of the joke. Wiping her eyes, Taylor added, "I'm 
from a lake!" Fred doubled his laughter, and pointed a 
finger at his slight wife.

"You aquatic tart!"

Rachel's eyes widened, and laughing she said, "What, did 
she throw a sword at you?"

Fred's gaze swung over to her, and she could see happy 
approval in his eyes.

"Yes! It was the violence inherent in the system!" They 
both started chanting together, leaving Anita and Taylor 
to look at each other in wonder.

"Come see the violence inherent in the system! Help! 
Help! I'm being repressed!" They broke into laughter, 
and Rachel found herself leaning back with her eyes 
closed, unable to remember when she had laughed that 
hard. All the stress of the day was flowing out of 
her... hell, it felt like years of loneliness was 
leaving as well. When she finally sat up and looked at 
Fred, he just grinned and shook his head at her.

"We're going to have these girls so confused if we keep 
this up. Which I see as a good thing!"

***

It was 8 PM by the time they left the restaurant. 
Rachel's problem had been ignored as she and Fred 
instead tried to work as many obscure quotes into the 
conversation as possible. THIS was one reason she had 
wanted to come here. To find people that understood her. 
There were none in her home town, and online wasn't the 
same. She had worried that she'd end up afraid to talk 
to anyone, just sitting in the back as she always did, 
watching. Now here she was, part of a group, and loving 
it. 

"Shit!" Taylor suddenly stopped in the middle of the 
sidewalk and swore. "We forgot to call the kids!" She 
whipped out her cell phone, and dialed. Rachel watched 
her. They had mentioned kids, but she hadn't gotten all 
the details. "Debbie! Hi, it's Taylor! How are the 
babies? Oh, good. Are they awake? Yeah! Put us on 
speaker phone!" She motioned Anita over, and the two 
mothers huddled around the phone.

"Hi kids! We miss you! Did you have fun?"

They spoke for about five minutes, and Rachel wished she 
could hear both sides. The kids sounded wonderful. Fred 
stood next to her, grinning, providing some occasional 
commentary or explaining a reference to past family 
history. As things were wrapping up he went over to the 
phone to say hi and send them off to bed. Taylor 
promised to call earlier tomorrow, and they hung up.

The talk of bedtime reminded Rachel that with regard to 
that issue she was still screwed. 

"Um, guys?" Her three companions turned to give her 
their full attention. "Um, I still have no place to stay 
tonight." She gave a faint smile, but the good of the 
past two hours was starting to be undone. Anita stepped 
forward, and lightly put her hand on Rachel's shoulder.

"I have an idea." Rachel looked down at the slightly 
shorter woman. "We have two beds in our hotel room, but 
we're only going to need one. You can stay with us."

Rachel blushed and looked down at her feet.

"No, I can't ask that of you guys... thank you, but..."

"You're not asking us, we're asking you. It won't be any 
problem, right?" Anita looked at Fred, who was giving 
her a look Rachel couldn't interpret. It was almost as 
if... he was accusing her of having this in mind from 
the start! Rachel's fragile social skills were close to 
the breaking point. This was too much. Too much was 
going on. She needed to be alone. She heard her name 
called, and looked over at Fred who had stepped closer 
but was respecting her personal space.

"Rachel, it's OK. You need a place to crash, and you're 
more than welcome to stay with us. We'll respect your 
privacy, and there will be NO high jinx or fooling 
around." He gave first Taylor then Anita a hard stare as 
he said this, and they seemed to look embarrassed. 
Looking back at Rachel, he said, "Please, stay with us."

Unable to speak, or meet his eyes, Rachel found herself 
nodding yes. Fred smiled, a smile that did nothing to 
diminish her emotional turmoil, and he motioned her to 
walk with them. Her legs started moving, and they 
quietly made their way back to the hotel.

****

They got her luggage out of the van and went unnoticed 
past the desk clerk up to their room. It was your normal 
two bed hotel room, with a TV. Fred mentioned they had 
reserved it when the idea had been to bring the kids, 
otherwise they would have tried for a single queen 
sized. Rachel placed her luggage down next to the bed 
closest to the door, and watched awkwardly as the other 
women took their shoes off and fell onto the other bed, 
complaining about all the walking their mean husband had 
made them do. Fred sat down on the edge of the bed next 
to them, removing his own shoes and socks, and looked 
over at Rachel.

"Wimps." This brought a giggle from her and complaints 
from the wimps. Feet freed, Fred stood up and dug a 
small portable DVD player out of his luggage and hooked 
it up to the TV. "Listen to any iRiffs, Rachel?" She 
shook her head, never having heard of them. "Well, we'll 
change that." He turned on the TV, grabbed a remote and 
sat down in the middle of his bed. The other two crawled 
up on either side of him, and Rachel slowly lay down on 
her bed facing the TV. 

The DVD menu came up and she heard a couple introduce 
themselves as Gary Slasher the serial killer and his 
wife Erin the zombie, who along with Satan would be 
mocking the movie Sleepaway Camp. Within five minutes of 
Fred hitting 'play' she had tears of laughter streaming 
from her eyes, and soon the four of them were calling 
out their own jokes. Anita broke some cold Pepsi out of 
a cooler and passed around some chips, and two hours 
flew by. When it was over, Fred looked over at the clock 
and yawned.

"It's kind of early, but I say we try and get some 
sleep. Gotta be well rested for a convention!"

Taylor stood up and stretched, then looking over at 
Rachel suddenly realized something.

"Um, Fred, we... none of us brought any pajamas." 
Rachel's eyes got wide, and the blush that had been 
absent for a few hours returned. Fred gave her an 
understanding smile, then looked at Taylor.

"We can wear our underwear, or if either of you didn't 
bring any bra's you can use the shirt I wore today." He 
looked over at Rachel,.

"I-I... have a nightgown."

"Good." Fred indicated the bathroom. "You can go first, 
do your thing and change. If you'd like, I can turn most 
of the lights off in here." Rachel blushed even more, 
then surprised herself by looking into his eyes.

"No... that's OK. I... don't mind if you see." With that 
she quickly got up, grabbed the extra large t-shirt she 
slept in, and fled into the bathroom. Closing the door, 
she leaned against it and tried to compose herself. She 
could hear them faintly talking in the other room.

"Now you two behave. She's shy, tired, and confused. 
Give her lots of space."

"I like her. I mean, really like her."

"Me too. There was something when I first saw her... 
like we were meant to meet her."

"What, you think Lisa is throwing another woman at me? 
Well, we'll see. She's beautiful and geeky, I'll give 
you that."

Rachel jumped away from the door at that. Fred 
thought... she was beautiful. She put a hand up and 
squeezed a breast. Maybe... he wanted to fuck her. 
Rachel ripped off her clothes, and sat on the toilet 
with one hand between her legs and the other twisting 
her right nipple. She frantically rubbed the outside of 
her pussy, which was becoming like a swamp. Her middle 
finger went to her clit and it took less than a minute 
for her body to become stiff with pleasure. 

Long years of practice doing this with her parents 
sleeping next door kept her from making a sound. 
Rachel's legs were extended towards the door, toes 
curled, and she imagined the door vanishing and Fred 
looking at her, seeing her naked and cumming. She came 
again, her head falling back and eyes staring unseeing 
at the ceiling. 

Slowly, she came back down to Earth. She looked down at 
her body. Her long, smooth limbs, her orange sized 
breasts, the blond triangle of hair between her legs... 
No man had ever seen her. Did she want that to change?

Well, not tonight. She stood, legs unsteady, and started 
the shower.

***

Rachel woke in the middle of the night. She had heard, 
there it was again. There was giggling from the next 
bed, and the sound of movement. She kept her eyes on the 
ceiling, wanting to look but years of self enforced 
prudishness overrode that. She heard a male voice catch, 
then sigh in pleasure. Very faintly Fred mumbled, "You 
naughty girl", followed by a giggle and more movement. 
Then, silence.

Rachel fell asleep imagining what may have happened over 
there, and wishing she had been the one making Fred 
sigh.

***

It was 10 AM when Fred led the small band out of the 
front of the hotel on their march towards the 
convention. He wore jeans, a Roger Waters 'The Wall' 
tour shirt, and his favorite Buffalo Sabres hat. The 
last might not be advisable in Philly, but fuck Philly 
fans. Taylor wore a light red sundress that showed off 
her white limbs, while Anita wore a Devil's Panties 
black baby doll t-shirt and jean shorts that curved and 
swayed in ways that would make every hetero male and 
homo female take three or four looks. Rachel had chosen 
more geeky garb, black jeans that weren't that form 
fitting and a black t-shirt with an old school diamond 
Doctor Who logo on it. Fred approved.

In fact, Fred approved of all of her. Her curly blond 
hair, the large glasses... He may have ended up with two 
goddesses, but this was the type he had tended to be 
drawn to in high school and college. Apart from the hair 
color in many ways she was like Lisa. Especially when it 
came to her mind. Taylor and Anita were smart, but they 
weren't... geeky. Or quick with a quote or bad pun. Fred 
hadn't known how much he missed that till now.

He stopped them in front of the 24 hour diner, and 
Taylor looked at it in horror.

"Oh, HELL no!"

Fred and the others laughed, and he patted her head as 
if she was a dog.

"Oh hell yes! It's good, filling food, and we have to 
start with a hearty brunch. Besides, you could stand to 
gain 20 pounds or so." Pouting, she put both her hands 
on her belly.

"I'll be gaining weight soon enough another way!" Rachel 
looked a little startled at this and started blushing. 
She blushed at everything, Fred noticed. Once again he 
vowed to make sure everyone tried not to scare her. 
Opening the diner door he pushed Taylor in ahead of him, 
and the waitress seated them at a booth in the back. 
Picking up the menu he looked it over. They served 
everything all day, so you could have pancakes at 8 PM 
or fried shrimp at 8 AM. 

His eyes quickly found the breakfast specials, and he 
decided on a platter with heaps of everything. If you're 
going to vacation, vacation as he always said. Taylor 
picked some cereal and fruit, which Fred poo pooed. 
Anita laughing tried the eggs and sausage, and Rachel 
getting into the spirit of things picked her own stack 
of pancakes and bacon. Fred rewarded her with his 
approval, and she smiled and blushed happily.

Taylor ended up stealing some bacon from Fred and a 
sausage from Anita, although the latter put up a good 
defense of her food. It took a diversion of "hey, that 
baby looks like Freddy!" to free up the food. The two 
women growled at each other, forks at the ready for 
combat. Fred just looked over at the shyly grinning 
Rachel and sighed.

"Kids."

***

They took their time walking over to the convention 
center, wandering around near City Hall for a while. 
Fred took their pictures with the Masonic temple in the 
background, just because. They arrived at the large 
impressive convention center, and entered the lobby. 

Fred stopped. There it was. Hanging down near the 
registration tables was an old purple banner with, in 
large white letters, "World Science Fiction Society" 
written in four lines. So far as he knew this same 
banner was hung at every Worldcon, and to him it 
symbolized that this was the real thing. Other 
conventions might be bigger, flashier, and nowadays even 
more important, but nothing else was Worldcon. 

They got in line to pick up their registrations. Taylor 
had legally changed her last name to match Fred's, even 
though he was legally married to Anita, so all three 
stood together. Rachel had to pick another line, but 
they all finished about the same time and headed off to 
an empty corner and sat on the floor by the wall in a 
circle to check out their goody bags. Large soft cover 
convention book, a name tag- Fred quickly attached his 
to the provided string and hung it around his neck. The 
others did the same, joking about how well it matched 
their various outfits. The highlight of the packet 
however was the pocket schedule. Sure, nowadays they had 
a PDF version, but for Fred the small spiral bound 
booklet was much more the thing. He pulled out the pen 
he had grabbed from a swag table they had passed, and 
started going through the various panel listings. So 
much to see... Did he do the review of images from the 
latest Mars mission, or listen to fantasy authors talk 
about plots you should never do? Lovecraft in role-
playing, or Reality: Fact or Fiction? So many choices!

Today, being the first day, started late so the first 
panel wasn't until 1 PM. Anita and Taylor were comparing 
notes and trying to find things they both liked, but 
Fred noticed Rachel just listening and looking down at 
her booklet nervously. Time to step in.

"OK, ladies." All three looked up at him. "It's time for 
a plan of action. There are LOTS of things to do here, 
and there's no way we'll all be on the same page for 
much of it. I say we just each make out our own 
schedule, and not worry about if we're the only one that 
wants to do it. If we meet up in one, great! If not, we 
have something to talk to the others about. Agreed?" 

They nodded, with Rachel looking especially relieved. 
Fred looked down at his picks for the day. "I found 
something for each of the first three sessions today. 
How about we take a quick look at the dealer room..." 
Taylor gave him a pleading gaze. "... or art show, then 
split up and meet again in the dealer room at 6 PM. 
Sound good?" Taylor darted her head in and gave him a 
quick kiss, which drew some amused or jealous looks and 
the usual blushing from Rachel.

"Well, let's go!"

***

Rachel checked the map again, then the schedule. Room D-
8... ah, here it was. "Godzilla vs Gamera: Who's The 
Real Big Green Guy?" She was so glad the panel names 
were written on whiteboards just outside the rooms. She 
had a terrible phobia of being in the wrong room, but so 
far it looked like it would be hard to get lost here. 
Well... at least harder. She was sure she'd somehow 
manage it at least once by the end of the week.

She entered the room, which was lightly occupied as of 
yet. About fifteen rows of chairs were divided by an 
aisle down the middle, facing a long table at the far 
end with a white table cloth, microphone, and a half 
dozen chairs. Rachel looked around for a good place to 
sit... and saw him. Alone. Fred was sitting about four 
rows from the back to her right. She had never been 
alone with him. OK, there were other people in this 
room, but it would be just him and her and no wives... 
should she go sit next to him? Could she bring herself 
to actually do that? In all her teen years she had never 
ever had the strength to do something like that. But... 
this was different. He was different. 

She, maybe, was different.

"This seat taken?"

Fred looked up and saw Rachel standing there, smiling 
nervously, and he broke into a grin. 

"Have a seat!" She sat down one chair over from him, 
which he knew for her took quite a bit of nerve. He put 
down the schedule he had been going over for the tenth 
time, and was about to say something when he noticed she 
was trying to get up the courage to speak. He stayed 
silent, giving her his full attention.

"I... I wanted to thank you for all you've done for me. 
You and the others!" she quickly added, blushing. "I'm 
not used to anyone taking an interest in me. I... don't 
know... well," she smiled, "I don't know if I'd know if 
you were dangerous or trying to take advantage of me or 
something."

Fred smiled, stroking his chin.

"You know, you're right. For all you know we could be 
some evil satanic cult trying to lure you in for 
fiendish reasons!" Rachel laughed.

"Yes! Maybe you want me for a virgin sacrifice!"

Rachel's eyes suddenly went wide and she tensed up. Why 
had she said that. Her gaze whipped around to see if 
anyone had heard. Why had she said that! He'd now 
know... She felt a hand on her shoulder, a light touch. 
Looking she saw Fred with an understanding expression on 
his face. He was turned towards her, and she could tell 
he was ready to remove his hand the instant she hinted 
it was too much contact. She could feel her heart 
beating, and every nerve in her body seemed to be 
focused on that one point where his fingers met her 
shirt. This was the point where she should run. She 
could run, then replay the moment in her fantasies and 
imagine how it could have been if she had stayed. She 
could at least have that...

Rachel reached her left hand up, and taking Fred's left 
hand off of her shoulder she brought it down to the 
chair... still holding it. Her face was burning red, and 
she brought her other hand over to help with the hand 
holding, as if one just didn't have enough experience to 
do the job well. Fred stayed quiet, waiting. She just 
squeezed his hand. Fred saw over her shoulder two men he 
assumed were the panel speakers walk in, so he gently 
removed his hand then gave both of hers a quick caress. 

"I do want you. All three of us do. If you want to be 
wanted. Be warned, we have never had anyone join us 
casually... and never will." He turned her attention to 
the stage. She may have faced it, but for the first half 
hour her thoughts were elsewhere.

***

Taylor was walking through the dealer area, thinking. 

Things weren't going as planned on this trip. They never 
did. On the other hand, she'd be a fool not to see the 
parallels to their Mexico adventures. They just HAPPEN 
to come upon a young woman in need who finds Fred 
incredibly handsome, and who Fred is obviously attracted 
to... it was the "young" part that was bothering Taylor 
the most if she was going to be honest about it. The 
girl was eighteen. Eighteen! Was she going to be getting 
an eighteen year old wife?!?

There she was again, assuming all these things were 
already pre-decided. She and Anita had never, seriously, 
talked about if this relationship was open to having 
others join them. Oh, sure, there had been joking, such 
as Fred's rule which Anita had broken- had she suspected 
where things would lead when she did that? Taylor 
thought she had. Anita had sensed a potential wife, and 
rather than ignore it as Taylor might have (and had, in 
a couple cases over the years) she had gone over and 
talked to the girl. 

The girl... OK, Taylor may have been all of 23 when she 
had met her love but she had been acting like a slutty 
high school kid. Rachel was obviously repressed but she 
was serious and probably more grown up then Taylor. 
Being a mother didn't make you an adult, it just means 
you had sex without protection. 

Taylor suddenly had a vision of Rachel nude on all 
fours, her belly swollen, being fucked by Fred as both 
her and Anita sucked on a breast. She stopped walking in 
front of a display table and closed her eyes for a 
second. 

"You OK?" A woman in a very Wiccan outfit was sitting 
behind the table and looking at Taylor with concern. 
Taylor shook her head and looked at her, smiling. The 
booth sold small pewter dragons and fairies, along with 
assorted jewelry. 

"Oh, I'm fine. Just a sudden erotic fantasy. Oh! Fred!" 
She waved then ran over to her lover, who was standing 
with Anita and Rachel. 

The woman watched her as Taylor gave Fred and Anita a 
big hug. Now SHE had an erotic fantasy for later.

The four made another circuit of the dealers room, with 
Fred buying a "What part of 'Bwahaha haha haha!' don't 
you understand?" t-shirt and Anita picking up some 
wooden toys. Taylor noticed that Rachel was being quiet, 
which was normal, but she now and then would reach out 
and touch Fred. Something had changed. Tonight might 
bring more changes.

Taylor insisted they check out the art room again before 
leaving for dinner. Rachel was fascinated as they slowly 
walked down the rows of paintings. She had never been 
the artistic type, but simply loved looking. They had 
set up four aisles of wooden pegboard cubicles, and each 
artist could buy one or more walls to put up their 
wares. Convention goers could either place a bid on a 
piece, which would go to auction if there were enough 
bids, or an artist could supply prints to be sold at the 
print shop. There were some amazing pieces, many having 
been used as book covers. There was also crap, but, hey, 
art was in the eye yadda yadda. 

When they came to Taylor's section, Rachel looked in 
awe. It was... incredible. The three walls of the 
cubical were covered with various sized paintings, 
mostly of various fantasy themes. Her style was 
realistic yet with a fluid line that made them come 
alive. One that jumped out at her was of a nude pregnant 
woman who obviously Anita... Anita with cat features 
lounging in front of a Mayan temple. Rachel just looked 
at Anita, then back at the painting, noticing the size 
and shape of the painted breasts, the curve of her hips, 
wondering how the reality compared... she was blushing 
again. Anita looked at her, a knowing smile on her lips.

"She's good, isn't she." She pulled Taylor into her arms 
and gave her a quick, tender kiss. "I don't know how she 
talked me into posing, but I'm glad I did. I've never 
looked so beautiful." Her face suddenly clouded, and in 
an instant Fred was there to whisper into her ear. She 
closed her eyes and nodded, then turned and buried her 
face into his chest. Taylor stood there, letting them 
have their moment. Noticing Rachel was looking confused 
and embarrassed, she went next to her and spoke softly.

"Anita had a hard time giving birth to Freddy. She can't 
have any more. Well... we won't let her." Taylor put her 
hands to her belly. Rachel had never really given much 
thought to children. Oh, she liked them, but never had 
having babies herself been part of her daydreams. It was 
then that she noticed that children, or at least 
motherhood, was a theme of many of Taylor's paintings. 
Motherhood and love. 

***

Dinner was at a steak place near the convention center. 
It was OK, but not great. Part of that may have been due 
to the somewhat somber mood. Anita wasn't her normal 
cheerful self, which in turn had Fred and Taylor 
concerned and fussing over her. Watching this, Rachel 
thought more about what Fred had said. "We have never 
had anyone join us casually... and never will." He did 
not want a casual fling. They wanted... Love. Devotion. 
Family. Trust. Support. 

So did she, with all her heart. She wanted to be wanted. 
Not just by anybody, although given this was the first 
time anyone had shown her the least interest that was a 
possibility. She wanted Fred.

But, to have him... she'd also have to have Taylor. And 
Anita. Sexually. She wasn't bi, not that she knew of. 
She had never seen anyone in the school locker room and 
had erotic thoughts about them. But, when she looked at 
these two, these beautiful wives and lovers of her 
Fred... she did feel something. All of a sudden, she 
remembered a quote from a story she had found online 
that had touched her. It had been called "The Siblings", 
by Michael K. Smith, and while she had found the idea of 
incest unpleasant to start with it had been an 
incredibly romantic tale. At the end the duo had met 
another woman, and the brother who was narrating the 
story put it this way:

"Their kiss was tender and beautiful and, watching them 
silently, I discovered a new array of emotions I'd never 
felt before. They were so different in so many ways and 
I wondered if I was the bridge between them. Each was 
undeniably heterosexual, yet the closeness of their 
bodies and the fusion of their lips and the writhing of 
their tongues seemed obvious and entirely natural [...] 
I understood that this was a first for both of them -- 
and that what they were sharing didn't extend to other 
women. It was unique between themselves. And I was a 
part of it, too."

She wanted to be part of it.

***

They were walking four abreast down the street back 
towards the hotel. It was still somewhat light out, 
although it would probably be dark by the time they got 
back. Fred was walking with Taylor on his right, and 
Rachel to his left with Anita flanking her. Things were 
more cheerful now, the desert of chocolate cake helping 
to pick up Anita's spirits. Taylor was trying, with no 
success, to try and find some other breakfast place they 
could go to the next morning among the places they 
passed, and Fred was enjoying the increasingly desperate 
quest. All was right in the world.

He suddenly felt something soft on his left hand. 
Looking down, he saw Rachel's hand slowly gripping his. 
He looked up into her eyes, and saw them full of hope 
and fear. It was then he noticed that she had also taken 
Anita's hand, and Anita was looking across at him with 
happy wonderment. Fred intertwined his fingers with 
Rachel's, and their eyes met. He felt her squeeze his 
hand.

"I... I want you." Rachel swallowed, then rushed to 
continue before she lost her nerve. "All of you. 
Forever. But... I've never..." 

Fred raised their joined hands up to her face and 
extended two fingers to caress her cheek. Her face was 
red hot. 

"I'm a firm believer that 'no means no', even among 
lovers." Her eyes lit up when she realized she was 
included in that term. "If you join us, we have all the 
time in the world so there's no rush in anything." They 
stopped, and Taylor moved in front of them taking Fred 
and Anita's hands, completing the circle. Fred looked 
from one to another.

"Let's make her first night special."

***

Rachel stood in the middle of the hotel room. She was 
shaking. Never had she dreamed it would be like this, 
yet this was everything she had ever dreamed of. Fred 
was standing in front of her. Strong. Handsome. Taylor 
stood to her right. Petite. Romantic. To her left was 
Anita. Sexy. Caring. Suddenly Fred stepped closer, and 
put his right hand up behind her head. Leaning in, he 
tilted her head and as she closed her eyes...

They kissed.

Time stood still. Rachel could feel his tongue lightly 
lick her lips, and without thinking she opened her mouth 
and sent her own tongue out after it. She heard Fred 
groan, and while one hand caressed her hair his other 
went to her waist and drew her against him. Her own 
hands went to his body and started exploring- his back, 
his chest, his ass. One of Fred's hands dropped from her 
head to cup one small breast, causing her to gasp, while 
the other cupped her ass. Fred's mouth kissed and licked 
its way down her jaw line to her neck, and one of her 
hands shot up to hold his head there. 

Finally, he drew back. She was panting, her heart 
beating so loud they all had to hear it, and she held 
Fred's shoulders so she wouldn't collapse to the ground. 
She looked at him in wonder.

"I love you."

He smiled, and raised a hand to caress her cheek. 

"I love you too."

"As do I."

Rachel turned and saw Taylor stepping up to her. She 
raised a hand and drew the younger girl's head down and 
kissed her. There was no hesitation on Rachel's part, as 
she had feared there'd be. She wanted this. All of this. 
Taylor's kiss was different. It was softer, more 
fleeting. She drew Rachel's tongue in, making her feel 
like the male taking his woman. The more aggressive she 
got, the more she felt Taylor's excitement grow. Both of 
Taylor's hands were caressing her breasts, and Rachel 
returned the touch. She could feel the rock hard nipples 
through the shirt, and she wondered what they would 
taste like. After an eternity she pulled back, and 
turned to Anita.

"We all love you, my friend." Anita drew Rachel against 
her, squashing her breasts against the younger woman's, 
and kissing her with such passion that Rachel could 
think of nothing besides her soft wet lips. Their 
tongues did not so much duel as seduce each other, over 
and over. Finally, Anita released Rachel and turned her 
to face Fred. 

Rachel's body and mind were afire. She wanted this. Oh, 
god, she wanted this. A fantasy of hers suddenly burst 
into her mind, and not giving herself time to think she 
closed her eyes and spoke.

"Taylor... Anita... strip me."

The two looked at each other, lust, love, and amusement 
in their eyes, then moved to slowly remove her clothing. 
First the shirt, raised over her head. When it caught on 
Rachel's glasses, Taylor took them off the woman and put 
them safely on the night table. They were mostly for 
reading, she had said, so wouldn't be needed. Her skin 
was a few shades darker then Taylor's, smooth with a few 
freckles. Anita dropped to her knees and undid her 
pants, and as they fell to the floor she had Rachel step 
out of not just them but her shoes and socks as well. 
Soon she was just in her bra and panties. 

Fred was looking at her with naked lust and need, and 
she shivered. Rachel felt her bra unfasten, and moving 
her arms she let it fall to the floor. Her breasts were 
perfect half spheres and firm, and it took all her will 
power to keep Rachel from reaching up and squeezing 
them. She thought she could cum from that alone.

Her panties then fell to the floor. She was bare before 
HIM. Before THEM. 

Without saying a word Taylor and Anita turned to Fred 
and began to remove his clothing. Now Rachel did touch 
herself, without conscious thought. His bare chest, with 
strong muscles and a light coating of black hair... his 
jeans dropped, and she saw the large bulge in his 
boxers. Her hands squeezed both her breasts, unable to 
wait. Then he was standing naked before her. His hard 
cock pointed upward, seeming to pulse. She couldn't take 
her eyes off of it. Pictures and movies, viewed in fear 
of discovery, couldn't do this reality justice. It was 
beautiful. He was beautiful. All three of them were 
beautiful.

She felt a light touch on each shoulder, and Taylor 
whispered for her to back up and lie on the bed. She 
complied, finding herself in the middle with her head on 
the pillow. Someone had removed the bedspread, and the 
soft sheets were cold against her back. She felt a large 
weight on the bed and suddenly Fred was there, looming 
over her. He looked down into her eyes, and while his 
right hand held him up his left caressed her cheek, then 
move down to her neck as he leaned down and kissed her. 

Rachel closed her eyes, and focused on each sensation. 
His kisses became more sensual as his hand moved down 
her shoulder, his fingers tracing a line around her 
breasts. She raised up, trying to force him to touch 
them, and with a laugh he started to spiral his fingers 
up her right breast till he reached the hard tip, giving 
it a light pinch that made her groan. 

Her own hands were caressing any part to him she could 
reach, not knowing or caring where they were so long as 
they felt hot flesh. Fred's body started to shift 
downward, and his lips kissed and licked their way down 
her neck, then up her breasts. She was moaning now, all 
her training to be silent while pleasuring herself at 
home lost as the pleasure kept mounting. She could feel 
Fred's hand move downward through her patch of blond 
hair, entering her wet inner thighs. She spread her 
legs, and his finger parted her lips.

"Ah!"

Fred raised his head from her breasts, a look of 
startled understanding as he saw the slight grimace of 
pain on his lovers face. He looked over at Anita and 
Taylor, who now naked were sitting on the edge of the 
other bed.

"Just be gentle," Taylor said. Looking back at Rachel's 
face he saw her nod.

"Fuck me. Please. Just fuck me now!"

Fred ran his fingers up and down her slit, marveling at 
how wet she already was, then ran them up to her clit, 
causing her back to arch up off the mattress. She was 
ready. He removed his hand, then called over Taylor and 
Anita. They got up and stood next to the bed, and as 
Rachel watched in embarrassed horror first Anita then 
Taylor licked her juices from his fingers. He brought a 
third glistening finger up to her lips, and she suddenly 
realized she'd be tasting Anita and Taylor soon and the 
thought made her pussy spasm. She raised her head and 
took his finger into her mouth, savoring the flavor. Her 
lust filled mind now wondered what Fred's cum tasted 
like.

Fred moved is body over hers and between her legs. She 
spread herself as wide as she could, her breathing 
seemingly so fast it matched her heart beat. She felt 
the head of his enormous (to her) cock rubbing through 
her soaking outer lips, then the tip caught in the 
opening and Fred paused. He looked into her eyes, and 
the fact that even then he was willing to stop if she 
wished it made her heart over flow. She put both hands 
up to his face.

"Fuck me, my love..." 

She suddenly felt Anita and Taylor kneeling on either 
side of her, and each took a hand and grasped it 
tightly. Then, Fred thrust.

It wasn't as horrible as her mother had tried to make it 
out to be, but she did cry out. Fred had managed to bury 
himself all the way in, and he just held himself there 
as her body trembled around him. Anita and Taylor 
whispered and cooed at her, their hands lightly 
caressing her face, breasts, and hair. After a few 
moments Rachel moved her legs up to cross them behind 
his ass, and he took this as a sign to slowly start 
moving. 

It was unlike anything she had ever felt, or even 
imagined feeling. Never had even a finger or pencil 
penetrated Rachel, and now a large hard hot throbbing 
rod was pumping in and out of her. She freed her hands 
from the grips of the other women and put them up onto 
Fred, drawing his face down into a frenzied kiss. She 
felt soft female hands down where they were joined, and 
that sent her over the edge. She howled, and she felt 
herself clamp down on his cock. He kept pumping, despite 
her body's best attempt to lock him in place, and she 
felt herself pulsing around him, each pulse sending a 
rush of pleasure through her entire body. 

Fred suddenly froze, and she felt him swell within her 
and to her wonderment she could feel.. actually feel! 
his seed burst into her. Her finger nails dug into his 
back, and she chanted his name over and over. 

Finally, exhausted, Rachel's arms and legs relaxed and 
fell down to the bed, and she just looked up dazed at 
her lover. Fred slowly pulled out of her, which brought 
a slight tinge of pain but also a sense of loss and 
emptiness. He quickly lay down beside her, and pulled 
her body over against his. His hands gently ran over her 
back, as she started crying into his chest. 

"Shhh, it's OK, my love." She cried even harder at that, 
and Anita moved to lay behind her and press herself 
against Rachel's back. Taylor joined them, and they lay 
like that for some time.

***

Rachel told them her history. Her years of loneliness, 
the repressive small town life. Her hopes, her dreams. 
They told her their story, of the chance meetings and 
growing family. They talked long into the night, and 
fell asleep in each other's arms.

***

An hour later Fred rolled an inch to the left and fell 
off the bed.

***

The first real morning of the convention, and already it 
seemed this was how life had always been.

The four awoke early, and not wanting to miss the first 
panels doubled up on the showers to save time and water. 
Rachel found herself soaping up Taylor, who insisted 
with a grin that every inch of herself be cleaned, 
including up her ass. Only when Rachel started to move 
soapy fingers into her nose did Taylor realize two could 
play at that game. They dressed quickly, although Fred 
and Rachel had a tough time picking out appropriate 
convention shirts (much to the amusement of the others). 
In the end he picked an Usagi Yojimbo shirt, and Rachel 
went with a black xkcd 'Maybe if this shirt is witty 
enough somebody will finally love me' ensemble. When 
they had a second, Taylor pulled Rachel aside.

"You know you're dressing for him the same way we are, 
right? There's more than one way to be sexy." Rachel 
nodded, smiling. 

They hit the diner again, this time with no complaints 
from Taylor. She upgraded to French toast, eggs and 
bacon, Anita piled on the waffles and both Taylor and 
Fred munched down pancakes and home fries. Lunch would 
be a hit or miss affair, so they stocked up on calories 
early. They wandered into the convention center a bit 
before the first panels, so took a look around the 
message boards.

Worldcon is, at its heart, a geeky party. It's not about 
speakers, or promoting the latest movie or the like. 
It's a place where year after year people can come and 
meet again. In the world pre-internet world, this was 
where connections were made, friendships renewed, and 
authors and publishers got together to party and do 
deals. And the heart of all this was the message boards. 
Large free standing boards were set up in a hall with 
the names of everyone registered at the convention. Want 
to contact them? Put a pin next to their name, and leave 
a message in their spot in the box. Other boards had ads 
for all the parties. Oh, the parties. Parties to bribe 
you to vote for a city to hold a future Worldcon, 
parties to thank you for voting for them last year, 
parties for this small publisher or that fan group, 
parties for transgender vampire Xanth fans... If you 
were looking for a geeky hookup or just a drinking 
crowd, you could find something different every night.

Taylor and Rachel were going over the party listings, 
laughing. Near them were some other early risers, of 
both genders, who were trying without success to pretend 
they weren't trying to hear if any of the parties caught 
the attractive female duos interest. Fred stood back, 
amused. Watching others try and pick up his women was 
always fun, as nobody ever figured he was involved in 
any way. He had taken Taylor to a Nightwish concert once 
at an old theater in Toronto. They had been on the 
balcony, with Taylor sitting on the floor with her legs 
dangling over the edge and Fred standing a a step or two 
away. This high school kid had come up between them, 
looked down at the waif of a girl, looked around to see 
if anyone was looking, then eased himself down next to 
her. Fred waited about five minutes then squatted down 
and talked to Taylor. The kid must have jumped five 
feet.

Rachel came up to Fred, and put her hand on his arm. The 
smile he gave made her, not so much blush anymore, but 
reflect his affection back at him. Step by step, she was 
transforming.

"Fred, what's your last name?"

He was startled for a moment, and then with a laugh 
realized that naturally that kind of thing hadn't come 
up yet. At least they were on a first name basis before 
sharing bodily fluids.

"Hunt. Why?"

"Well, there's a pin next to a Taylor Hunt on the 
board."

She led a surprised Fred over, and sure enough someone 
had left a message for Taylor. Given they knew nobody 
here, this was rather interesting. Fred pulled the pin 
and went over to find the note. Digging it out, he 
turned to see Taylor and Anita coming over to see what 
was up. He held the piece of paper out to her.

"Someone left you a love note." Startled, Taylor grabbed 
it and scanned the lines. Her eyes widened, and 
trembling she dropped the note. Rachel knelt down to 
pick it up, while Taylor struggled to speak to her 
worried mates.

"It's... it's a publisher! They like my paintings! They 
want to talk about commissioning pictures!" She started 
hopping up and down, and luckily she kept her long hair 
loose as if it had been in a braid someone could have 
gotten seriously hurt. Grinning, Fred took the note from 
Rachel and gave it a scan. He then cocked an eye at the 
still dancing Taylor.

"You know, this is Raymond Feist's publisher. Maybe you 
could show him your Carline series."

Taylor froze, looked at him, then gave out a loud sound 
known the world over as "The Fangirl Squeal".

***

The question was going to be, what happens next.

Fred sat off to the side of the largest panel room, 
waiting for what should be an incredible discussion of 
upcoming space missions and updates on current ones. 
However, as he found himself without any of the trio 
next to him he felt free to think thoughts he otherwise 
would push out until later.

What were they going to do.

The future had been uncertain enough to start with. 
Anita was the only one with a good steady job, running a 
downtown hotel. He was unemployed, and his idea of 
trying his hand at writing seemed more foolish every 
day. Unless, maybe, if he could do something online that 
could work the way web comics do, but he doubted an 
analysis of the Battle of Yorktown would sell may t-
shirts. Probably he should try for a local college 
position, even if it was a community college... but, for 
now money was a problem. If Taylor, who had been staying 
home with the kids, could start bringing in even half 
what his old job had paid they could still be in good 
shape. Then again, they needed a new house so they could 
have more room and some privacy. Their family kept 
growing.

Which brought him to Rachel. Fred sighed. Rachel... what 
were they going to do. What did SHE want to do. Well, 
she said she loved them and wanted to be with them 
forever. Which, she probably did... but he wasn't 
stupid. He had screwed up and gone too fast. This poor 
girl was latching onto the first people to ever 
understand her, and not just Taylor and Anita but he 
himself was encouraging it. He expected that of the 
impulsive romantic Taylor, but he's suppose to be the 
adult here, damn it! You can't commit to a lifetime 
relationship within days of meeting someone!

Yet, it had worked out twice.

Fred shook his head, noticing that the room was about 
full and it looked like they were about to begin. The 
future relationships between him and both Taylor and 
Anita had been all but settled after an intense short... 
trial courtship might be one way to put it. Nobody had 
known that was, in fact, what it was at the time, but 
when they parted at the end it was with the knowledge of 
where things were going. There had been a month of 
dating with Taylor and 5 months of immigration fun with 
Anita to delay things and give them time to make sure 
they knew what they really wanted, but... they could 
have just as easily come home with him that day. Would 
it be the same with Rachel?

Did she want to come with them?

***

That guy kept staring at Rachel.

She was sitting against the wall outside one of the 
rooms, waiting for the previous panel to end. She did 
NOT care about poetry in science fiction. What she DID 
care about was Greg Bear, and planned on being front row 
in the panel he was doing with some biologist. She had a 
battered copy of 'The Infinity Concerto' with her, and 
as she hadn't seen Bear listed for an autograph session 
later in the week hoped to get up the nerve to ask him 
to sign it. And maybe ask why his best work was out of 
print.

Out of the corner of her eye she saw the guy sitting 
against the far wall looking at her again. He looked 
away quickly as soon as he thought she had noticed, but 
soon was back at it. Rachel looked down at the pocket 
schedule and thought. What the hell was going on?

Wait... was that guy... INTERESTED in her?!

The very idea blew her away. She glanced over again. He 
was cute, sort of. Tall, skinny, with a scruffy goatee. 
Probably college aged. A COLLEGE guy was into her! A few 
days ago she wouldn't have believed it!

And... a few days ago she wouldn't have noticed. 
Thinking, Rachel considered that this was the main 
point. She hadn't changed much. Same look, maybe some 
new self confidence, but over all outwardly she was 
identical. Thus, it's possible lots (or at least some) 
guys had been trying to get her attention and she never 
picked up on it. After all, nobody wanted her, so why 
look to see if anybody wanted her? Once she had been 
isolated she helped raise the walls higher all by 
herself.

Which, now that the walls were down, raised the issue... 
did she want to take a look around before settling with 
Fred, Taylor and Anita?

She could talk to this guy. To others. See what people 
were like. Explore. Date. The world was open to her. Why 
limit herself now that there were no limits.

Rachel caught the eye of the staring stranger, and 
smiling shook her head 'no'. Looking back down at the 
schedule, she thought of her new family. She wanted 
nothing else.

***

Anita had expected not to like this place. Oh, she had 
agreed easily enough to the vacation, when Fred had 
proposed it. He cheerfully did things she wanted, so the 
return was only right, plus when they were together it 
didn't really matter what they were doing. However, she 
didn't care for science fiction, or science, and very 
little fantasy slipped into her reading list. 

A good mystery or thriller was more her cup of hot 
chocolate. Originally she was delegated the task of 
taking care of the kids while Fred and Taylor played at 
the convention, and she had been looking forward to 
that. She didn't get as much alone time with them as 
Taylor did, although as a result by the fourth day her 
temper with the little ones might have gotten to the 
breaking point. Now here she was going to all these 
talks about subjects she would have said would be 
incredibly boring or stupid.

And she was having the time of her life.

So much of this applied to any type of fiction. The talk 
on how men write females, and vice-versa, for example 
had related directly to any number of books she had read 
and was incredibly interesting. And there was so much 
humor! Often by the end she was laughing hysterically, 
about something an hour earlier she had never heard of 
or considered. If they had the money, she was going to 
make them come to this every year.

This current panel was a perfect example. The subject 
was on how to create magic systems for a fantasy story, 
and three female authors she had never heard of were up 
behind the table talking. The first two went on for 
awhile giving their views, on how you can create the 
story then come up with the magical rules that let you 
do what you want to do, or you can create the limits of 
the magic and let those dictate how the plot played out, 
etc. While they were saying this the woman at the end, 
who had a bit too much jewelry for Anita's taste, seemed 
to be getting more and more upset. When they turned to 
her, she had paused, composed herself, and half glared 
at them.

"Well, since magic is obviously real I look at the 
various books on it and pick out the aspect of that 
system I want to base my story on."

Anita settled back in her chair. This was going to be 
GOOD.

***

Taylor skipped down the hallway.

They wanted her to paint for them. They would pay money 
for something she was doing for the love of it anyways. 
Oh, sure, they'd want her to paint things that showed, 
somewhat, what they wanted them to show, but she'd seen 
enough book covers that had nothing to do with the 
actual contents to not be too worried about that. 
Besides, she was more mature now and creating art that 
followed someone else's vision didn't seem as evil as it 
had in college. 

Plus, they wanted the rights to use some of her existing 
paintings that were all her. That right there stroked 
her ego something fierce.

Taylor stopped at an intersection, and leaning against 
the wall removed the water bottle from her waist and 
took a swig. Fred had been so right to insist they all 
carry one, as it made this place so much easier to deal 
with. She shook it, noting that she was down to about 
two swallows worth. Time to think about refilling it.

"Taylor?!"

She swung around, startled.

The apparent speaker was a tall redheaded guy, maybe 
college aged. He was looking at her with unbelieving 
wonderment, as if she was a ghost. She cocked her head 
at him. Didn't look familiar. Just some guy in kakis and 
an Eagles shirt with red hair... her eyes widened. Her 
step brother.

"Nathan?!"

The young man in question quickly walked up to Taylor, 
towering over the slim woman. He had to be a good six 
inches taller than Fred, and he smiled down at his long 
lost sibling.

"Taylor! It's... it's you! My God, it's you!" She 
stepped back a half pace to give herself some more 
personal space, and got an uncertain expression on her 
face.

"Nathan... what... why are you here?"

He grinned and cocked an eyebrow at her.

"Well, I'm in Philly because we moved here a couple 
years after you left. Specifically, I'm here because I 
wanted to see what it was like." His grin got a touch of 
a harder edge, and he looked her body over, noting the 
thin strapped sundress and all the exposed skin. "What 
about you? Are you 'working' this convention?"

Her hand was slapping his face before the sentence was 
finished. The sound stopped all conversation in the 
hall, and her face was pure fury.

"How DARE you!" In that moment she had seem her 
stepfather in his eyes, and naked fear and anger filled 
her. His head reeled back, and when he once again turned 
to her for a moment she saw the confused eyes of the 10 
year old she had known and abandoned. Then he smirked 
down at her and it vanished.

"Mom said you stripped and ho'd so she kicked you out."

Taylor's eyes narrowed to daggers.

"I stripped for one summer so I wouldn't have to take 
money from that skank or your drunk ass father." She 
looked past him, and saw someone taking into a cell 
phone while looking right at them. "Now, given I think 
they're going to believe me in any dispute here being 
small and helpless, you probably should go." 

Taylor waited a second, saw no movement, and glared up 
at him; glared with all the hate and loathing that had 
built up in the 10 years after her Daddy died. Ten years 
that she had put up with that family. Everything she had 
buried, everything that had made her flee as soon as 
that college acceptance letter had come. Everything that 
said if he didn't move his sorry ass, she was going to 
rip his fucking face off and use his blood as paint.

Nathan took a step back, paused to gather himself... 
then turned and walked away. 

As soon as he was out of sight, Taylor fell back against 
the wall and slid down onto the floor. Her vision was 
blurry, and it took a moment before she realized she was 
crying. A small crowd came over, and a middle aged woman 
in a dark blue dress with a dragon pin dropped down to a 
knee in front of her.

"Hey... you OK?" 

Taylor nodded, then turned to struggle with her handbag 
and brought out a tissue and her phone. Seeing she had 
someone she could contact, the woman rose and told the 
others to give her some space. Taylor ignored them, and 
as soon as she could read the screen through her tears 
made her call.

"Fred... where are you... I need you. I'll be there 
soon. Wait for me.... no, I'll come there. Please...." 
She hung up, and struggled to her feet as she dropped 
the phone into the bag. The woman was still standing 
there, and caught Taylor's arm when she slipped a bit. 
Once Taylor was up the woman, whoes name tag she could 
now see said "Betty", gave her a clean tissue and let 
her blow her nose.

"Thank you. Do... do you know where B 5 is?"

Betty pointed the way and offered to take her, but 
Taylor declined. She put a hand on the woman's arm, 
thanking her, then pushed off of the wall and set off.

***

All three of them were waiting outside the room for 
Taylor as she rounded the corner, and they hurried over. 
Her composure left her again and she broke down, and the 
three surrounded her like a protective shield and moved 
her off into a corner away from everyone and sat her 
down against the wall. Fred sat next to her and pulled 
her into his lap, and Taylor buried her head into his 
chest as Rachel and Anita stroked her head and arms and 
asked what was wrong. It took her awhile to answer.

"I've... I'm being childish," she said, finally. Fred 
looked down at his little Taylor, mother of his 
firstborn, and smiled.

"Yes. But what's the problem?" A snorting laugh came 
through the tears, and Taylor's fist hit Fred in the 
chest. He hugged her tight, rocking a bit. He saw 
someone with a convention badge start to come over, but 
he shook his head and the guy nodded and moved off. Fred 
looked down at her again. "Are you ready to talk?"

It came out slowly, haltingly, with much implied but 
with no pushing for details she didn't want to reveal. 
When her tale was done, Taylor looked around at them. 
The pure, naked love she felt pouring out of them washed 
over her. She even felt it from Rachel, and she raised a 
hand to her new wife's cheek in wonder, only to have 
Rachel take it in her own hands and kiss the palm. Anita 
caressed Taylor's face.

"Do you want to go to the hotel?" 

"No, no." Taylor gave a small laugh. "If it was next 
door, maybe, but I don't want to walk right now. I'll go 
to whatever panel Rachel wants to do next." Rachel 
smiled at that, and as the doors up and down the hallway 
swung open announcing the end of that session's panels 
she stood and offered her hand to Taylor. 

"There's a good one on how to build a laser weapon in 
your basement in ten minutes."

***

Rachel and Taylor entered the hotel room, and shut the 
door. Taylor tossed her bag onto a chair and plopped 
onto the nearest bed, kicking her sneakers off then 
getting rid of the socks. Wiggling her toes, she tried 
to decide if there was less walking at a convention or 
in Mexico. She came to the conclusion that if Fred was 
vacationing, sore feet would be in the forecast. At 
least this evening she had been able to cut it short a 
bit. After dinner Fred and Anita had decided to go find 
the anime screening room set up at a hotel near the 
convention center and watch a showing of 'Whisper of the 
Heart'. 

Rachel put her own bag of goodies down on the dresser 
and sorted through it. Where was it... ah. She pulled 
out a small plastic bag, then looked over at Taylor. 

"Um... close your eyes."

Taylor gave her an inquiring glance, then smiling looked 
forward and closed her eyes. She heard a rustling, then 
felt a kiss. She leaned into it, feeling a tongue 
lightly flick at her lips, then it pulled away and 
Rachel told her to open her eyes.

"It's for you."

Rachel held out a small statue, maybe a hands breadth 
tall. It was a thin nude woman, a water nymph, rising 
out of a pool of water with an expression of love and 
joy on her face. Rachel's own face was one of 
uncertainty, and she bit her bottom lip as Taylor 
reached out with shaking hands and took the gift. Taylor 
looked down in wonder, running her hands over it, noting 
the long brown hair flowing off the nymph and becoming 
one with the water. 

"Oh..." She looked up at Rachel. "Oh, my Love..." 
Rachel's eyes widened at that, and tears started to 
form. She sat down next to Taylor, and after Taylor 
carefully put her treasure on the nightstand Rachel's 
hands reached out and pulled her slight form to her. 
Rachel's mouth sought out Taylor's, kissing and licking 
its way around her face and neck. Her hands roamed 
lightly over her bare arms and shoulders, delighting in 
the smooth skin. A hand rose up to caress that hair, 
that long flowing hair...

Rachel pulled back, and taking off her glasses she 
handed them to Taylor to be placed next to the statue. 
Once that was done Rachel lay on the bed and pulled 
Taylor down on top of her. Taylor gave a giggling 
scream, and Rachel ended up on her back with Taylor 
straddling her waist. Looking down at the younger girl, 
Taylor reached down and grabbed the bottom of her dress 
and slowly raised it up over her head, tossing it off to 
the side. Her small firm breasts beaconed to Rachel, and 
she reached up and caressed them, causing Taylor to 
close her eyes and sigh. 

Rachel took that moment to roll over, flipping a 
squealing Taylor over onto her back and looming over 
her. Rachel's hands held Taylor's arms over her head, 
half buried in her hair, and lowering herself Rachel 
began kissing her neck. With Taylor moaning 
encouragement, she slowly licked and sucked southward, 
coming for the first time to another woman's breast. She 
kissed her way up it, the salty taste driving her crazy. 
She went from one to another, nibbling and licking, 
letting go of Taylor's arms so she could caress them as 
well. She felt her hands in her hair, playing with the 
curls, then... she felt Taylor's hands slowly, gently, 
pushing her head downwards.

She followed their lead.

Taylor lifted her legs and removed her own panties when 
Rachel got to them, then spread herself wide for her 
lover. Rachel looked down at the shaved treasure before 
her, the delicate pink lips and the moisture between 
them. She looked up into Taylor's eyes, and Taylor 
looked back with love and understanding.

"You don't have to if you're not ready, my love. We have 
all the time in the world." Rachel looked down, moved 
her hands to hold Taylor's legs wider, and lowered her 
lips. 

It was not ambrosia, nor the finest nectar of the gods. 
But it was the essence of her love and Rachel sought out 
and drank all she could find. She kissed, nibbled, 
sucked... lost in a world of erotic senses. When Taylor 
bucked up and tried to slam her legs closed, Rachel 
easily held them apart and dove after the new moisture 
flowing out of her. Finally Taylor begged her to stop, 
and with a final kiss Rachel crawled up and was 
practically attacked by Taylor when she got to her face. 
With a growl Taylor got on top of her and tore off her 
shirt and bra. Her mouth practically devoured Rachel's 
breasts, and when Rachel grabbed her hair to use it like 
a leash to control her, Taylor look up from her meal 
with pure lust in her eyes.

"Oh, gods, yes... use it..."

Rachel moved Taylor's head from one breast to the other, 
then grabbing her hair near the scalp dragged her head 
downward. Taylor frantically unsnapped her jeans and 
dragged them and Rachel's panties off, and looked down 
at her goal. She ran a hand lightly through the short 
blonde curls that pointed the way, then lowered her 
mouth. 

Taylor had three years experience pleasuring Anita, but 
every woman is different. She quickly learned that 
Rachel liked it a little faster, a little harder, with 
more sucking and less licking, and soon she had the girl 
screaming her name. She kept at it, until Rachel 
literally yanked her head away by the hair. The two just 
looked at each other, panting, exhausted. Rachel pulled 
Taylor up her body, and she had barely finished licking 
her face clean before both drifted off to sleep.

The rest of the convention passed without much drama. 
The four spent their days enjoying Worldcon and the 
city, and their nights enjoying each other. Saturday 
evening found them walking around Independence Hall 
again, taking in the sights one last time. Fred had just 
posed the three girls for a photo in the fading light 
when Rachel finally broached the subject that had been 
hanging over them.

"Fred... what happens tomorrow?"

Seeing a bench, he motioned for them all to have a seat. 
Taylor sat in his lap, with Rachel between him and 
Anita. He rubbed a hand up and down Taylor's bare leg, 
and she snuggled into him while facing Rachel. Fred 
sighed.

"Well... we have lots of choices. Some better than 
others, naturally." He grinned, and grinning back Rachel 
began to caress Taylor's other leg while Anita traced 
patterns on Rachel's bare arm.

"First... will you marry us?"

Rachel's eyes shot open. 

"Yes... oh, Fred, yes..."

"OK, good. That's not the actual proposal, by the way, 
because this is a bit too public for that." That got a 
laugh out of everyone, and Rachel blushed for the first 
time in awhile.

"So, anyways, with that in mind, our first option is 
since you have a ticket home, you leave go to school, 
and we figure out what we're going to do later." The 
thought of home made Rachel uneasy. How was she going to 
explain all of this! Fred nodded. "We didn't have to 
worry about family for these two, but I suspect you're 
not going to want to just leave them." Rachel nodded. 
"Well, like I said, we can deal with that later.

"Another option is you call home and say you've met some 
people and will be taking some extra time on this trip. 
We bring you home with us, you meet the kids, and send 
you home in time to start school. By the way," Fred 
said, in an off handed manner, "The University of 
Buffalo has a good Engineering department." Rachel 
arched an eyebrow.

"I'll have to look into it if I have the time."

Fred chuckled.

"Third option is we fake your death, change your name, 
and just bring you home with us."

They all burst out laughing, with Taylor raising her 
hand to vote for that plan. When they had calm down, 
Rachel just sat thinking while they watched and waited. 
Finally, she reached into her bag and pulled out her 
cell phone.

"Mom? Hi! Yeah, it's going great. Having lots of fun! 
Look, I need to tell you some things. I've met these 
people...."

***

The van rolled up the driveway, and came to a stop. This 
was the signal for the front door to burst open and four 
toddlers to burst out. Fred, Taylor and Anita had barely 
made it on to the grass when they were gang hugged. 
Cousin Debbie slowly walked down the steps, holding a 
tray of lemonade. The kids were all talking at once, 
trying to tell all the stories about how they weren't to 
blame for this or that, wanting to know if there were 
gifts for them, and if they PLEASE could go home now? 
Fred, laughing, stood up straight and yelled. 

"Attention!"

The kids ran to stand in, if not a line, a small group. 
Debbie looked at him.

"You're kidding."

"Works once a month. OK. Kids, we have something 
important to tell you."

The van door opened, and out stepped Rachel. She shyly 
walked up next to Fred and was quickly flanked by Taylor 
and Anita. 

"Violet, Cindy, Freddy, Jaxom, this is your new Mommy 
Rachel."

The kids stood in stunned silence for a moment, then 
Violet jumped forward and ran to hug Rachel's legs.

"A new Mommy!!"

The others quickly followed suit, and Rachel soon found 
herself mobbed by... her children. She looked down, 
flooded by the joy that those two words gave her. Taylor 
leaned into her ear and whispered.

"Soon you'll have your own as well." Blushing, she 
nodded happily.

Debbie, taking in the scene, looked over at her younger 
cousin.

"So, we need one more cup of lemonade?"

It's okay to *READ* stories about unprotected sex with

okay to *HAVE* unprotected sex with people other than
a trusted partner. 4-million people around the world
