Considering Mom & daughter were sharing. and the others were excepting. I think C.
I think he should marry 1 of the Girls buy a house outside of town. and with 6 females and himself they could get enough to keep things together. as for Tragedy it doesn't have to be any of them. Maybe Parents or other family members. like Tara's dad. He could have passed on and the company kept quiet because they did not locate his remains until. after her pregnancy.
Your house scenario is pretty much what I expected to evolve. Obvious Q&A:
Q: How to pay for the house?
A: Ms Emmons, and family loans for Jon.
Q: Whom to legally marry?
1) Tara, providing a live-in fuckable mother-in-law; or
2) Tita, for BIA/tribal benefits -- and maybe her mom, too; or
3) Ms Emmons, to avoid legal problems of her affair with a student
Q: How to gain teaching credentials whilst maintaining a country harem?
A: Online and correspondence courses.
Your tragedy scenario is good. Off-screen deaths gain readers' tears.
Thanks!
