Redheads Ch. 04

CHAPTER FOUR

Over the next couple of months, the girls got bigger and prettier at the same time. Annie's sister Claudia moved in and provided me with immediate relief from the girls everyday needs.

To add to the hustle and bustle of everything else, I had only talked to Claudia... and the day she came over, when I opened the door to let her in -- she instantly reminded me of Annie. We embraced as old friends often do, although my hands felt strangely comfortable on her.

I helped her get her stuff to my room... er -- her room, and she fell into 'nanny mode' almost immediately.

"Dad, we're home!" Emma said as they walked into the house together. Claudia came out of my office, and they screamed and hugged for the longest time.

"Come on girls, tell me all about everything," Claudia said to them as they all went up the stairs together. Within a few moments -- Silence!

I took the opportunity to go and in and work on the story that was needing to be finished first. In a matter of two solid hours, the treatise about a relatively unknown battle in the American Revolution called 'The Battle of Cowpens,' was finally finished. All told, it took me 25 hours of research and almost 90 hours to write. Jim, my publisher, was originally taken aback by my take that Great Britain General Sir Banastre Tarleton was a more interesting character than the US Commander Colonel Daniel Morgan.

Jim should be happy with this being done so I can devote all of my time to 'The Redheaded Tryst' By Phillip Roux!

As I was running a grammar and spelling check on 'Banastre versus Morgan' there was a knock on the door.

"Come in," I said to whomever. Claudia walked in and sat down.

"Yes?" I said with a single raised eyebrow.

"The girls told me everything, Michael -- including your 'pickup move' they thought was so good. Did you use one on my sister?"

"Actually no, I saw her red hair and I was drawn to her. It was in the college cafeteria. She was sitting down, listening to something on her headphones. I walked over with my food and got her attention to non-verbally ask if I could sit by her. She nodded in the affirmative and also told me that I would die very young, eating what I was eating."

"And what was it you were eating?" she asked with a curious giggle.

"I had a hot dog, some nachos and a couple of bottled waters. She was quick to say that the only good choice I'd made was the water."

"And you came back with..."

"I said, 'No, my best choice was deciding to sit down by the hot redhead,' to which she laughed for a moment. She grabbed my hot dog and took a bite -- she put it back on my tray, got up and waved goodbye. I didn't even get to ask her name."

"This's a story she never told me," Claudia said.

"The next day, I saw her at the same table -- I had the same food as the day before -- but I got her a water. She smiled and said 'Thanks,' took a bite of my hotdog again and got up and left. This happened all week, until on Friday -- I came over just with a bottle of water for each of us, took her ear bud and heard Mac Davis singing, 'Baby Don't Get Hooked On Me,' to which I started to sing along."

She laughed and said, "It's about time, I was wondering if you were ever going to make a move. My name is Annie Watson, what's yours?"

"Michael -- Annie, would you like to go out sometime? All week I've been going to my next class not able to concentrate at all. Your hair is such a beautiful shade of red. Our children will probably have red hair, too!"

"Michael, you actually said all that to her? What was her reaction to that?" my sister-in-law asked.

"She pulled my face to hers and gave me a really sloppy kiss -- picked up her water and said, 'Follow me Michael!"

"Where did she take you?"

"I'm sorry, any more would be breaking my promise to her that I'd never tell that story," I said.

"That's such a wonderful story Michael, include it in the book you're writing!" Claudia said. "I want to hear one of these 'pickup lines' of yours. Grace says she was impressed by it a lot."

"Claudia, I don't think that's a good idea... it precipitated the girls condition," I said trying to make a serious point.

"Michael, just do it -- it would take more than a pickup line to get me interested."

"OK, sit back and relax," I said coming around my desk and dropping to where we were face to face.

I took her hand and said, "When I'm looking back at the best memories of my life, I'll think of the day my children were born, the day I got married - and the day I met you?"

Her eyes got big as I added, "I figured out why the sky was overcast today -- all of the blue's in your eyes!"

She leaned forward, as I looked right at her and said, "I wish I was one of your tears, so I could be born in your eyes -- run down your cheek, and die on your lips."

She took both of her hands and pulled my lips to hers, jumpstarting a most wonderful and passionate kiss that I realized I was enjoying. We stood up, and I grabbed her around the waist and said, "See what you started, my god you're magnificent Claudia, but we can't let anything happen between us like this. You're here for the girls -- not me!"

"Michael, how about after the girls babies are born? I've had feelings for you, since Annie brought you home to meet Mom and Dad, way back when."

"Possibly, but until then -- your primary responsibility is to the girls. They have it in their heads to go to work part-time at Hooters. If they do that -- you'll be responsible for the babies all day."

"But when the little ones are asleep, Claudia and Michael could play, couldn't we?"

"I totally forgot how good you were at flirting, I'm impressed and interested. Nothing until after the girls have their babies, OK?"

"I agree, but before I leave, could we seal this deal with another kiss?"

I walked into her open arms and really let go of my emotions. I felt her tongue this time and I used mine as well. I felt her arm dropping to my butt, so I pulled away and said, "After!" poking her nose with my finger.

"Will you put this in your book?" she asked.

"Not until book three -- Book One is all about Annie and me, ending with us both finding out that she was pregnant with twin girls. Book Two is about the birth and raising the girls, ending with the wife dying and finding out that the girls want their Daddy's children. Book Three will include the wife's sister coming to take care of the little ones and starting an illicit romance with Phillip. I only have to put out a Book a year, so the events of Books Four and Five... haven't occurred yet."

"An illicit romance you say? I'll do my best to play the part, Michael," she said putting her hands on the front of my pants and feeling my hardness. Jesus, what is that saying, 'whatever doesn't kill you, makes you stronger?' -- Yeah, right!

******** ** ********

A regular routine started, with Claudia making breakfast for both the girls and me every day. I told her, I could get my own, but she insisted I... keep my strength and endurance for writing and whatever else comes along. I wouldn't doubt that Emma and Grace picked up on the sexual tension between their aunt and I.

About a month later, Claudia came in while I was writing. "Yes dear -- how can I help you?" I said typing away.

"Michael, I'd like to take the girls clothes shopping and maybe get a few things for the baby's room?" she asked.

"Sure thing," I said stopping long enough to get out my credit card. "Why don't you get a few things for yourself as well -- I do like all of my girls to look their best!"

"Am I one of your girls, Michael?" she said laying it on pretty thick.

"You know better than to ask me that, my dear -- quick question? When I bring you into the story -- you can be called either... Wendy, Whitney or Willow?"

"What's with the 'W?'" she asked.

"Well, it's a thing of mine -- the 'wh' sound is sensuous, and with Annie changed to Aubrey, I wanted the sister-in-law to have a glamorous name... so?"

"I think I like Whitney best," she said coming over to give me a kiss.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Just giving you another kiss -- I figured the last one wore off by now," she said. She plopped in my lap and we started a truly glorious kiss, mixing our tongues in the other ones mouth.

"Daddy?" I heard -- Oh shit!

Claudia pulled away and started to get up.

"Don't worry about that, you two? Emma and I've known since the day Claudia came here!" my very pregnant Gracie said.

"Know what?" Claudia said hastily wiping her lipstick off my lips.

"That she'd remind you of Mom, and you two would eventually come to your senses and 'hook up!'"

"You expected us to 'be together?'" I said amazed.

"Look at her Daddy -- she's got it so bad for you, and Gracie and I've been waiting for the two of you to 'hook up' with one another."

"I'll be right there, tell your sister to be ready to go. This hunky father of yours wants me to get some new things too," Claudia said.

"You're amazing, my dear!" I said to her.

"You'll be finding that out any day, Michael Knox!"

"How about we make a date for tomorrow, my dear?" I asked kissing her behind her ear and causing her to giggle.

"I'll tell the girls, so we'll be alone -- I'm kind of loud in the bedroom," she said.

"Good loud or Bad loud?" I asked.

"Whichever you want, lover?" she said getting up off my lap. I slapped her butt as she left.

Whitney, huh?

******** ** ******** While they were gone, I finished the first draft of Phillip Roux's first novel. Thirty-three chapters -- 133,245 words -- for $500,000 -- The first draft took me only three months -- Now, of course, I'll be tweaking it to death. I should have someone read it, so I know what may be needed to be worked on.

I did my usual auto-grammar check, then I checked for unnecessary modifiers, necessary and unnecessary contractions -- lastly, I checked for accidental heterographs, homonyms, heteronyms, homophones and homographs.

After doing all of that, it was ready to print -- with one inch margins all around, it was thick but ready at 573 pages long.

Everything I've ever written shrunk from being written to being published, so I figured this book might end up being only about 480 to 490 pages, possibly less.

As the last page came out of my printer, I heard the sounds of women talking. So, I walked to the foyer to see three magnificently dressed ladies, two were my pregnant daughters of course, but the third one -- oh my -- Claudia'd gotten a light haircut. That and the cobalt blue skirt and peach blouse made her look -- truly scrumptious.

I walked quickly to them, with Gracie having her arms ready for my clinch -- but I went to Claudia, giving her a great big and wet kiss. She was as surprised as Emma and Grace were, but she looked so nice!

When we came up for air, my girls had pouts on their faces. They both quickly turned into big smiles as we all laughed. I got kisses from both girls, who giggled and said they would come down to show us what they had bought. The moment they both went up Claudia pulled me into her and started another marvelous kiss which seemed to last forever.

Hearing heels clip down the stairs, we pulled apart and saw wonderfully matched maternity dresses on the two girls.

"Turn around," Claudia said. First Emma did, real slow -- then Grace did, putting on a show while she turned around. "Aren't they beautiful girls?" Claudia remarked.

Putting my arms around her from behind, I said, "Yes they are, but you're not bad either, Beautiful. Girls, go on up and show us the next outfit please?"

They both smiled and clicked back upstairs. From the position I was in, I leaned into Claudia and said, "My first book about all of you -- is printed and ready for comment. I'd love my pretty sister-in-law to read it with a red pencil. I need a less biased person then myself to look it over, please?"

"Oh, you remembered I used to be an English teacher?" she said leaning back into me.

"Actually, I didn't remember that -- but that's a nice element for Whitney. Maybe I should interview you to find out more about you -- I could pump you for information!"

"You could pump me all you'd like -- but the interview will have to a separate time. If we're pumping each other, I need to be focused... on you!" she replied.

I raised my hands to on top of her bosoms, and said, "Pump -- Pump -- Pump..." as the girls clicked and clacked their way back down the stairs. This time Gracie went first and her next outfit was lovely -- Emma was also stunning! Their sizeable assets had grown as they neared the midway point in their pregnancies. They looked down at us -- I hadn't moved my hands off Claudia's breasts during this latest fashion show. The girls both gave us a thumbs up and went back up again.

"You could have me naked by the time they show off all of the different outfits they bought," Claudia purred into my ear.

"I'll have you naked soon enough," as she spun to facing me. She snaked her hand down my pants and felt my firmness. She giggled and said, "Annie never told me how big you were, stud -- I'll tell you right now that I'm ovulating, so I hope you have some condoms -- a lot of condoms for us to use?"

"I hate those things -- I like the feel of bare pussy against my dick, how about you go and get a bottle of the 'Plan B pills?'"

"OK, but you can always use my ass whenever you want? Wow, you just flexed in my hand as I said that. Did my sister ever let you put this monster in her ass?"

"Ssshh, the girls are coming," I said.

"I'm pretty close myself, big boy," she said, pulling her hand hand away and turning back to our original position.

Just as we heard the click of heels again, I said to her "Not as close as I am, Whitney!"

"Oooh, role play -- I like that," she said.

"Daddy, you two stop it long enough to look up here. We spent your hard-earned money today -- you two need to get a room -- soon," Emma said.

"Motel 6 or Marriott's," I said to a smiling and giggling Claudia.

"Daddy -- how do you like this dress?" Emma said.

"Beautiful -- where did you go to get all of these pretty maternity dresses anyway?" I asked.

"Kohl's," the lady in my arms said. "They got tons to look at for all ages and sizes -- even men."

"Are you saying that I don't wear fashionable clothing?"

"No, not at all -- Michael."

"Emma honey, that design shows off your baby bump... and your other bumps as well," I said, causing her to giggle and me to harden. After Em stepped away, Gracie had on a deep red version of the same dress. God almighty, I got pretty daughters. "Both of you change, and we'll all go out to celebrate!"

"Celebrate what daddy?" the two of them said almost together.

"I finished the first draft of the first book about all of us, I hope you'll like it. It's rather salacious in spots, but my editor wants it hot!"

"Michael," Claudia said.

"Oh, girls -- Claudia and I would like some time alone tomorrow, is that all right with you two?" I asked.

They both came all the way down the stairs, first hugging me, then Claudia. Gracie said, "I told you Em, I knew she'd get him."

"Get me?" I blustered.

"The day Claudia showed up, Gracie and I made a bet on how long it would take for you two to fall for each other -- I won... it only took less then four months, Gracie said more than four. Claudia showed up exactly..."

"Exactly 104 days ago. Let's go to dinner, change into something comfortable!" I announced.

"Daddy," Emma stopped to ask, "How long do we need to be gone tomorrow?"

Looking at Claudia with lecherousness I answered, "Two hours should be good."

"Three hours would be better," Claudia suggested.

They all clicked upstairs as I chuckled to myself and took off my coat and tie, and unbuttoned a few buttons on my shirt. Wow -- these ladies are all so hot!
