Life after the Lottery Ch. 75

"Yes, I am. Thank you."

I kissed Rachel and got her a robe, and we headed downstairs.

Dawn and Samantha were in the kitchen cooking while Amy was getting things out of the fridge. Linda walked up behind Dawn and wrapped her arms around her.

"Thank you, Dawn."

"Thank you, Linda."

"I love you."

"I love you too, Linda."

*****

We were all sitting and eating breakfast.

"After you three have your time...do we get to try some more," Linda said and laughed.

"Of course, you can...but it is not needed," Dawn said.

"What do you mean?" Linda asked.

"You will not need to have sex again to become pregnant, but you can always have more sex!" Dawn exclaimed.

"Dawn, you can't know that," Linda said.

Dawn looked at her and smiled.

After a nice breakfast, I went upstairs with Dawn, Samantha, and Amy. We all got on the bed.

"Who's first?" I asked.

"Samantha and Amy are first," Dawn replied.

"Dawn, are you saying we will become pregnant today?" Amy asked.

"If you so desire, you will."

"Of course, that is what we desire," Samantha said.

"I only know my heart. I know nothing of anyone else's. I will know after...if your heart desired it."

"How can you know that quickly? Not even a doctor can know that quick," Amy said.

"My knowledge comes from the Spirits, not of man's ways," Dawn said, then smiled.

Amy and Samantha held me and then made love to me. As each one took their turn riding my cock, they felt so loving and consumed with passion. The two of them each took a long time to have an orgasm. We came together each time.

Amy and Samantha lay next to me and held me as I held them. Dawn was lying behind Amy, holding her and me. That is what we needed to do for about an hour.

Dawn finally sat up and looked at us and smiled.

"The Spirits thank you two," Dawn said to Amy and Samantha.

Dawn began stroking my cock to get it hard. Once it was, she straddled my hips and slowly slid down. Just like the other four, she felt wonderful and was giving off great energy. But as Dawn sat for a few minutes, I felt something much different from her. A type of energy and feelings I had never experienced from her. Dawn smiled at me as she began to slowly work her pussy. She placed her hands on my chest and took her time.

Dawn was slowly working her pussy on my cock. She took the stone around my neck in one hand. She wrapped her other hand around the one she was wearing. Amy, Samantha, and I watched as Dawn closed her eyes and worked.

I closed my eyes and explored Dawn's energy. I connected to her and felt the energy she had. It was much different than anything I had ever felt from her, but it felt great. I kept concentrating, and her energy became stronger and consumed me. I just let myself go.

"Husband...you will be the father of a new tribe," I heard Dawn say in my head.

My head was spinning, and an image of Dawn standing in front of me appeared.

"Are you ready to be the father of my successor?" Dawn asked as she stood in front of me.

"Of course, honey."

"Then now is the time for us to take that step."

Suddenly I felt myself thrusting up into Dawn and coming hard, over and over.

"I love you, my husband." I saw the image begin to fade.

I was still coming hard in Dawn as I opened my eyes and saw her sitting with her eyes closed. When I stopped coming, Dawn opened her eyes and smiled at me.

"Thank you, my husband," she said and laid on me and kissed me.

I wrapped my arms around her and held her for a long time. Amy and Samantha moved next to us and held the two of us.

After a long time, Dawn pushed herself up and sat.

"Thanks to all of you," she said.

Dawn slid her pussy off my cock and sat back on my legs.

"Let's shower and see what Linda and Rachel are doing," Dawn said.

We all went to the bathroom and got in the shower. It was quiet as we all washed and rinsed off. I helped the girls dry off, and then I dried off. Dawn took my hand and led all of us downstairs. Linda and Rachel were lying together on the sofa holding each other as they slept.

"I think it is time for lunch," Dawn said.

It was about 2:00. Dawn and I went to the kitchen to start lunch. Before we started, I wrapped my arms around Dawn and held her for a few minutes. I kissed her, and we started cooking.

While I was standing at the stove, I felt Linda wrap her arms around me.

"Thank you," she said.

"You are welcome. Are the two of you ready for this?"

"Yes, we are."

Linda helped us cook.

We heard Amy and Samantha in the den talking and laughing with Rachel.

"Dawn, this has been so special," Linda said to her.

"It has. It has been very special."

"I have a question. Do you know if we are all impregnated now?" Linda asked.

Dawn turned and looked at Linda and smiled.

"I think you know the answer, Linda," Dawn said. "But there is no reason we can't love each other more!"

They laughed.

*****

We finished cooking and placed all the food on the bar. Rachel came with Amy and Samantha and sat down. We all sat and ate and talked and laughed.

"Everyone remember...no more alcohol," Dawn said.

"Do we need to keep drinking the tea and trying?" Samantha asked.

"No more tea, and we can also try more if we want."

"You mean we are already pregnant?"

"You should be."

"Dawn, how can you know that?" Rachel asked.

"l can tell you the sex of the baby...if you want to know," Dawn said with a smile.

"I don't think I want to know," Amy said.

"How would you know that?" Rachel asked.

"I have been communicating with the Ancient Ones for months. I asked them to show me my path and if what we are doing honors them. I...was shown many things. On my Spirit Journey, I was allowed to see some of our futures. The Ancient Ones told me I had to see the possible futures before I could choose."

"Choose what?"

Dawn sat quietly for a moment.

"What I have done, at my age, had to be blessed by the Spirits. I needed to ask them why I was being asked to expand my tribe...since James and I had chosen not to at the time. I had doubts. I heard and felt the Spirits last year telling me there was a path I could follow. It was troubling. I spent time with my great-grandparents and asked their advice. They told me it was not up to them, only the Ancient Ones. I had to ask the Ancient Ones which path was correct for me. That was why I went on the Spirit Journey on the reservation. I spent days and nights communicating with them. Of the paths I was shown, I chose the beginning of this one."

"So, you know the sexes of the children we will have?" Linda asked.

"Yes...that and much more. But there are still different possible paths ahead for all of us...for all of our children."

"What can you tell us then?" Linda asked.

"Nothing. Being able to see the long paths of the future and being able to choose the exact one before it happens is not possible. It is only possible to lead and encourage. My knowledge of the eventual outcome of someone's path is short. I can only see the near future that is certain, but that future opens many paths."

"Have we chosen the correct path?" Amy asked.

"The path that we have set upon was a good one for us to start. The Ancient Ones said they would bless this path for us. Just remember, no path is right, no path is wrong. But, selecting one that is blessed is always correct. Knowing the sex of your child, I will not tell you. Some things are not to be known until they happen. Knowing in advance...can change the path. Man's ways can tell you. You must choose to know or not."

They all talked about that for a bit. It seemed the decision was to wait and not know the sex of the babies.

"But, you'll know, Dawn," Amy said.

"I will, but I won't tell you if you want to know."

"Linda, do you want to have a boy or a girl?" Samantha asked.

"I just want a healthy baby."

"Me too," Rachel said.

"James, what are you going to do if we all have girls!" Linda teased me.

"I look forward to whatever we all have."

"Dawn, do you have a choice?" Linda asked.

"What I have will be what I have. What I have will be what the Spirits want."

"Will you know?"

"I already know," Dawn replied.

"How...never mind..." Linda said.

Dawn smiled at all of us.

"Can we still go to Krav Maga classes?" Samantha asked.

"For now," Dawn replied.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. I'll tell you when we need to stop, but the exercise will be good for us."

"Should we keep wearing this stone?" Rachel asked.

"For now, please."

"How is your helicopter training going?" Linda asked.

That quickly changed the subject, and Dawn and Samantha talked about that while I cleaned up. Samantha had not had any problems learning all the things in ground school. The more I watched her, the more I understood how smart she was.

Amy and I left the others talking and went to the den. I sat down, and Amy sat close to me and leaned into my shoulder.

"Are you ready for all this?" I asked.

"I am. I am looking forward to being a mom."

"You and your sister will be great mothers."

"James, I just want you to show our children the love a father should have for his children."

"I will, honey." I kissed her on the top of her head.

Amy held my arm tightly as we sat in silence for a while.

The others finally came to the den and sat.

"So, what's next?" Linda asked.

"We all need to go on with our lives. Stay healthy and exercise," Dawn said.

"Dawn, are you sure it only took once?" Rachel asked.

"Yes, but you can always have more sex!" We all laughed.

"I think all of you need to keep trying!" I said, and they all laughed.

Linda talked about the progress they were making on her house. They had the foundation down and were already working on getting walls up. She asked me about all the work on the hangar so far at our house. I told her it was getting started.

"Will they finish by Christmas?" Dawn asked Linda.

"It will be close. I told the architect to hire as many people as he needed to work on it so it would be. They are also making good progress on the house for Stan and Jeanine."

"They are coming to pour concrete for our hangar next week," I said.

"I saw where they had been digging by the house," Linda replied.

"They finished running the electrical and water down there Wednesday. They will cover everything up Monday so they can get the trucks back there," I said.

"Did you decide if you are going to bury a fuel tank?"

"Still thinking about that."

"You can always fly over and use mine. I am putting in a 4,500 gallon tank. It will only cost about $30,000 for everything. They will be burying a 1,500 gallon propane tank for the house anyway."

"Í think I'll tell Carl to add that then."

"You would only need a 3,500 at most, James."

"Carl asked if he could go ahead and get the hangar up so he could concentrate on yours," Dawn said. "We told him yes. I wish we would have something to put in it when it is finished."

"You will eventually," Linda told her. "How are your classes going?"

"Samantha is burning through it all, of course. The three of us are hoping we can take the test in a few weeks," Dawn explained.

"You'll do well."

"Can't wait until we pass the test, then we can start counting our hours in the air," Samantha said.

"How much have you been flying?" Linda asked.

"Just a little. Once we finish ground school, we can fly on Sundays," Samantha continued. "I am shooting to pass my test this weekend. Then I can get my hours during spring break."

"Wow, Samantha. You aren't messing around," Linda said to her.

"Oh...we are all going to a big airshow at the end of July in Wisconsin. I hope we can see a helicopter like we are buying," Dawn said. "And maybe fly some other ones!"

"Is that the big airshow they have there every year?" Linda asked.

"Yes. It looks like it is a huge thing that everyone flies their aircraft to."

"That must be the one Stan and Jeanine were asking me about. I think they are wanting to fly my new helicopter there for the show. Seems someone at Eurocopter asked if they could show it off."

"Are they going to do it?" Dawn asked.

"I think they are. There are not many like mine. They want to show it off."

"Are you going?"

"Not for the entire week. I may have the corporate pilots fly the small jet up for a few days."

"If they are going to fly your helicopter and put it in the show, they will be there for the whole week. Maybe we could ride with them instead of driving," Dawn said.

"Are you all staying for the week?" Linda asked.

"That is our plan. I have a room for us already."

"Let me find out what Stan and Jeanine are planning. That could save you a long drive."

"That would be great!" Dawn exclaimed. "They need to get a room quick. I had trouble finding one. Try the Marriott. They had some overpriced suites they couldn't rent. I got us one. We will need to find a car to rent now."

"Hey, Linda...we should have our VFR license by then...I hope. Ask Stan and Jeanine if we could help fly there and back?" Samantha asked.

"I'll ask them."

"Great!"

"I don't know if we can get the VFR license by then," I said. "We have to have the 30 hours, plus 10 solo hours."

"That would be a couple of months after we pass the test. If we can get three or four hours each weekend, that would give us almost 30 hours. Only the solo hours would be left," Samantha said.

"It may take longer than you think to get the hours, honey. Don't forget we are going to Hawaii," I reminded her.

"Well, I hope to pass the test Saturday, before spring break. I can get a lot of hours that week."

"That may be a good idea."

"Have you three got your dresses for next Saturday?" Linda asked.

"We pick them up this week," Dawn said.

"Good. Ours are supposed to be shipped here this week. I hope they arrive soon."

"Did your designer in New York create them?" Dawn asked.

"Yes. He is sending something he has wanted me to wear for a few years."

Linda had invited us to a big party next Saturday. She told Dawn and the girls it would be widely covered event that all the media and fashion magazines would be covering. It would the first annual event for a charity Linda sponsored now. Dawn and the girls had been working with a designer at Linda's new stores all month.

I sat and listened to them talk fashion for a while before we decided it was time for bed.

The six of us spent a lot of time with each other the rest of the weekend. Whatever Dawn had done to us hung around for the weekend. We all had passionate sex numerous times before Linda and Rachel left Sunday afternoon. We all just wanted to take our time and enjoyed being with each other.

*****

Before we went to bed Sunday, Dawn and I were going over our study materials. Amy was reading a journal. I kept noticing that Samantha was studying some maps but looked like she was distracted.

"Samantha? What is troubling you?" I asked.

"Oh...nothing."

"Sam? What is going on?" Dawn asked.

"I was just thinking...our mom will be a grandmother...and...she won't be able to enjoy it."

"You two...your mom will be happy she is a grandmother. I am sure that you will be able to share with her," Dawn said.

"I hope so..."

*****

Monday morning, while everyone was gone, I took the color film with the photos I made of Dawn to the processor and dropped it off. I told them to go ahead and make some prints so I could pick them up before they closed. When I got back to the house, I had to work on the next step of this project.

I called Sam at his store.

"Hey, James."

"Hey. Do you know anyone that has a large pen plotter? Like one that draws blueprints?"

"How big of a printout do you need?"

"About 3 feet by 4 feet."

"Sure. The architect that built your house. I sold it to him."

"Didn't think about him."

"What are you printing?"

"I had some vector drawings sent to me, and I need to print them out."

"I'm sure he will do it for you."

"Thanks, Sam. I knew you would have an answer."

I figured if my architect had one, Carl would have one. I called Carl.

"Hey, Carl. It's Dr. Smith."

"Hello, Dr. Smith."

"I have a favor to ask...if you can do it."

"Sure."

"I have some blueprint vector files I need printed on a large pen plotter. Can you do that?"

"Are they just regular vector drawings?"

"The people that emailed them to me said they are. They are views of the helicopter."

"Sure, we can print them for you. How big do you need them?"

"How big can you make them."

"Regular blueprints are 30 inches by 40 inches."

"That should be big enough."

"Okay. Just email me the file."

"Thanks. Can you make me 4 or 5 copies?"

"No problem. If you can come by this afternoon, I'll have them ready. I need to discuss something with you anyway."

"About 2:00?"

"That will work."

"Thanks, Carl."

I made a few more phone calls for some other projects.

Dawn and the girls would be gone until about 3:00. After some work, I left the house and stopped and grabbed some lunch, then headed to Carl's office. I pulled in right at 2:00 and went up to his office, and found him.

"Hi, Carl."

"Hi, Dr. Smith. I have those printouts. They are of the helicopter you are buying, right?"

"Yes."

He rolled out the printouts. They showed the sides of the helicopter and the top, bottom, and front.

"I made a set for me because it has the dimensions on it."

"Good."

"What are these for?" He asked.

"I am having a custom paint job designed for Dawn as a surprise."

"She'll like that. I have some even larger copies for you."

"Thanks. I am sure the lady that is doing the design will like those."

"Good. If you need more, just let me know. I need to go over a small snag with you."

"What's that?"

"Well, I contacted the consulting engineers that draw up the plans for the helipads. I don't do it because they have certain design requirements. When I told him that one design was for Ms. Williams' helicopter, he asked if she had pilots that were employees that were pilots. Then he wanted to know if the helicopter would be stationed at her house...well, it seems there are new FAA regulations for helipads for commercial aircraft, which hers would be classified."

"What does that mean?"

"It has to meet more rules now. It has to be bigger, have full lighting and other requirements."

"What does that mean for us?" I asked.

"I told him I needed another set of plans for a different helicopter. They have all the measurements for any of them. I told him it was for a private pilot and not commercial, but he asked me if it would be stationed at the house full-time. When I told him yes, he said it would fall under these new regulations."

"I don't guess being bigger and having lights would be a bad idea."

"No, it wouldn't, but it adds a few more things like fencing for safety and some other things. He told me there was no way around it. The FAA updated the rules a year ago. Before, you could just land it and park it in your yard as occasionally use."

"I don't guess that will be a problem."

"Now I have to get some large aerial photos of your property and Ms. Williams'. They have all the information for everywhere in the country about the predominant wind directions and air space directives and a lot of other things. Once they get the photos, they will layout where the pad must be and how the lights have to be laid out and a lot of other things."

"Can you still build it from those new plans?"

"That's not a problem. I'll just have to wait before we can lay the concrete and run all the wiring for the pad. We have already surveyed and laid out the other one."

"How long will that take?"

"That's the problem. He said the lead time was about 45 days for the drawings. That means we can't start putting down the forms for the pad and everything until mid-May. I'll have to get my people back out and do the survey again first."
