Wedding and Honeymoon

Wedding and Honeymoon

It was great that all the guys were able to show up for my wedding. I was sure it would be a damn fine party.

The ladies were scheduled for a day at the spa on Valentine's Day to prepare for the wedding. Massages, waxing, hair, and mani-pedis. That included Ann and Mom, since they were getting married too. Xiu, Maya, Hoán, and Sandy were also there for the roles they were performing at the wedding, so Berserker, Tyler, and Joy were at my house as well. We had them all at the pool because it was easier to look after all of them and kept them occupied.

That left us guys to look after the kids. Doc was hanging with us since he had the time off from his practice for the wedding. While the kids were splashing around in the pool, the talk almost inevitably turned to sex. We were giving Doc a ration of shit about doing the dirty with my mom.

"So Doc, is Helen as hot in the saddle as she looks like she'd be?" Berserker asked.

"You'd be surprised how hot her furnace burns," Doc laughed.

"Are you using sex as stress relief?" I asked. "Getting married again has to be stressful to my mother."

"Let's just say she's experiencing no stress."

We all laughed.

"Doc," Berserker said, "does she take it up the ass like Maya does?"

"You assholes are a bunch of perverts," Doc laughed. "You're talking about your mother," pointing at me, "and your mother-in-law," pointing at B.

"I always heard that if you want to know what a woman will be like when she gets older, look at her mom, and Helen is a hottie," Berserker said. "If Sonia wasn't adopted, I could say the same thing about Ann. Benson, are you getting any of that GILF?"

"I'm marrying her. What do you think?"

"I think you're a lucky man. What's Bobbi's mother like, Rooster? Is Bobbi a chip off the old block?"

"Eve is still a very sexual woman," I said. "Did we tell you her parents hired Sonia for a threesome before I found her again?"

"No kidding. You're sort of in-laws got some of Sonia's ass before you did?"

I laughed. "You do realize a lot of people got to Sonia before I did, including Maya's first husband. I'm well down that list. You can't spill the beans to her family. Bobbi knows, but no one else does, and they weren't the only Reeves sampling the goods. They had a business on Lake Street and drove by Sonia's street corner all the time. Bobbi's parents know the other two who partook, but not the rest of the family. Might fuck up some marriages."

"Yeah, I remember how hot Maya was when she got that news. I hope I never piss her off that much."

"You'd probably get dumped just as fast. You got Sandy as a part of that deal, so, be happy with what you have," I said.

"Damn straight. Doc, you think Helen would be interested in a threesome?" B asked.

Doc chuckled. "What makes you think she hasn't had one?"

"With you?" I asked, astounded.

"No. It was something she tried after your father died."

"Two girls, or two guys?" Benson asked.

"A guy she dated a couple of times and a girl they both knew. She didn't like it much, and it ended the dating when he wanted to do it again, with another guy this time."

"Damn, the things your mother never tells you," I said.

"Yeah, she was pretty honest with me before she got serious. Didn't want any surprises cropping up."

"Do you think you'd do a threesome, Doc?" B asked.

"No, I'm past that malarkey, and I'm happy with what I have. Why mess with a good thing? It didn't sound as if Helen was in a rush to get more experimental if she broke off with the guy that was. I'm comfortable with what I have."

"Be careful children," I warned. "Quý doesn't swim as well as you do." Jeremy had dive bombed the water near where Quý was riding a noodle, and almost caused him to lose his grip.

"Okay, Dad," Scout said. "We'll be careful."

"How about you, Rooster?" B asked. "You have any doubts or regrets about getting hitched tomorrow?"

"Not a one. I'm happier than I've ever been in my life."

"How about you, Benson? Would you do a threesome if Ann wanted to do one?" B asked.

"Sure, if she wanted to do one."

"What if she wanted two guys?" B followed up.

"Probably, as long as the other guy wasn't interested in dick."

"That implies that Ann likes anal sex," B said.

"She doesn't hate it. It's just not her favorite."

"I wonder if she tried anal before learning about it from Sonia?" I asked.

"I could ask," Benson laughed. "I don't think it makes any difference where she learned it though, just that she's willing to try on occasion."

"That's true," I said. "Makes no difference where it came from."

The pizzas I ordered for lunch arrived, and I had the kids dry off before we ate. They got back in the pool after, and the rest of us talked the Vikings and their prospects for next year, because their season ended the first playoff game. The ladies returned around four.

"Damn," Berserker said, eyeing Maya. "That was money well spent."

"Yeah, but you can't touch me before the wedding tomorrow," Maya said. "I don't want to ruin my do."

"Does that apply to you two as well," I asked.

"We've been living with you for months," Bobbi said. "I think if the honeymoon night is going to be special, the night before should be one of chastity for all of us, so we're a little hungry after the ceremony."

"I'm willing to live with that if neither of you two fuck around with each other. If I get no pussy, neither do you."

"You're not getting married tomorrow," B said. "Why can't I ruin your do?"

"Because my brother and Mom are getting married tomorrow and I want to look good for the wedding photos, not like I got fucked all night from my horny husband," Maya laughed.

"I do love to yank on your hair," B said. "Wrap it up in my fist and pound you hard."

"TMI," Mom said. "Can't you talk about something else?"

"How about your threesome," I said. "I'd like to hear about that?"

The other ladies all looked at Mom as she blushed like crazy and glared at Doc, who shrugged nonchalantly.

"Mom, you've been with a girl?" Maya asked. "All that shit you gave me about Sandy, and you've been with a girl?"

"I didn't give you shit about experimenting with her, just that you and Alex want to make someone else a permanent part of your relationship, or even that you started dating Alex when you were still married to shit-for-brains. That's the off putting part. I feel like marriage should be for two people, and I don't even care what sex they are."

"Helen, how was it with a girl," Ann asked. "I always wondered."

"If you wonder, try it yourself," Mom said. "Even if I liked it or didn't, doesn't mean you would or wouldn't."

"Did you like it?" Ann asked.

"It wasn't terrible. I just don't think I'd want to do it again."

Maya put her arms around Mom. "You know, I think this makes you seem more human, like the rest of us. So tell me, did you lick pussy?"

Mom laughed. "I licked a pussy. Are you happy?"

"I'm not disappointed. It probably has no bearing on my happiness. It's just a little nugget of information I get to hold over you for the rest of your life. If you start to criticize me for something, I'll say, 'Do you remember when you licked a pussy while having a threesome?' I figure that will stop the conversation in its tracks."

Mom snorted. "Probably. Doc, you and I are going to have some words."

"Helen, do you remember when you licked pussy during that threesome?" Doc said.

"Oh, no. You don't get to weasel out of it that easy," Mom laughed. "I'll give you points for trying though."

"It sounds as if you won't get to mess up Mom's hairdo either," I laughed. "Ann," I said, "Benson said he wouldn't be opposed to the idea of a threesome if you wanted to try it. You could see what pussy licking is like, all on your own."

"Really, Benson?" Ann asked

"I did mention that, yes," Benson laughed.

"It seems that I'm the only one of my generation that hasn't tried one before," Ann said.

"No," Doc said. "I haven't had one either."

"I'll need to think about that," Ann said. "Would we get another man or a woman?"

"Whatever you wanted to try, as long as I'm not doing anything with the guy."

"Ann, I thought you had better judgment," Mom said.

"More than you?" Ann shot back.

"Et tu, Brute?"

"Helen, does any one of the people we're with right now, seem like they're lacking judgment? Have we not raised wonderful children, have wonderful grandchildren, people who you're happy to know, who show strong character and high values? I'd put them up against anyone else you care to name. I don't care if they have some unusual sexual attitudes. They're wonderful people."

"Yes, they are." Mom smiled at us.

"Then who cares if they sleep three to a bed? They're not hurting anyone, and have done some really fine, awesome things for their country, their communities, and their homes and families. If Rooster wanted to marry three other women tomorrow and Bobbi and Sonia didn't have a problem with it, more power to them."

"I'd join them," Hoán said. "Rooster is a wonderful man, Bobbi and Sonia are wonderful women, and Jeremy, Belinda and Tommy are wonderful children. My life would be much worse if not for them."

"I know, we're not from their generation," Ann said. "I know this isn't something I ever considered when I was their age, but if you get past the sex, they're the best people I know."

"I'd agree," Mom said.

"Well, it seems like you haven't felt free to really express your happiness for our loved ones, because you're locked into some personal expectation of what their lives should be like, and not what they are like. Let go."

Mom thought about that for several seconds. "You're right. If not for Sonia, I'd think that Bobbi was the best wife in the world for my son, and if not for Bobbi, Sonia would be. Maybe together, they're even better, because I've never seen him happier than he is now."

"What about me?" Sandy said. "How do I fit in your world view of Maya and Alex?"

"To some extent, I've never gotten over how you and the others treated Robert in school. I suppose you weren't the worst of them. Robert certainly seems to have forgiven you. You never had many dealings with Maya. I guess if they can forgive and forget what happened, it's none of my affair anymore. If you make Maya happy, and don't do anything to hurt her, I'll accept you're her partner if that's how it turns out."

"That's better than I might have hoped," Sandy said. "My own folks are wondering what the hell I'm doing, and they haven't even met Alex."

"Do they care that I'm black?" Berserker asked.

"Surprised, a little, but I don't think they care. We just didn't get a ton of exposure to black folks in Waverly. Sonia and Jared were the only two they ever met, but they seemed to accept Sonia when I had her over for sleepovers. You're the unknown until they meet you."

"They'll meet at the wedding tomorrow," Sonia said. "They accepted the invitation."

"I'm sure they never got exposed to polyamorous throuples either," Mom said. "That ceremony tomorrow is going to throw a bunch of folks outside of their comfort zone, some of my relatives among them. Last some of them heard, Bobbi was a bridesmaid, not one of the two women tying a knot. How is any of this legal?"

"Because it's not a marriage in name," I said. "The lawyer says it's legal, and a judge is doing the ceremony. We're doing by contract what a marriage does by law. Giving Bobbi access to home, wealth, protection, visiting rights, setting aside money for her and her kids in the event things go south. It was especially important because I'm adopting Bobbi's children and we're all having more. She wasn't giving up her rights to her children just because I was adopting them. It's complex, but doable. I doubt Bobbi's parents would be in if they weren't certain I was taking care of Bobbi, Belinda and Jeremy."

"I might need to see that attorney if it gets that far with Sandy," Berserker said.

"How come Sandy isn't doing the same thing Bobbi is?" Mom asked.

"Because Alex and I did our marriage a little sudden," Maya said. "Rooster got his ducks in a row before getting married. I didn't think I'd be getting married for another six to twelve months, not suddenly eloping because Greg got murdered in jail. As far as I'm concerned, Sandy is still welcome to join us, but tax time is a lousy time for her to do so. This is her busiest time of the year. We'll get her on board in May or June sometime."

"Are you planning on having kids with Alex?" Mom asked Sandy.

"Maybe in a year or two. I'd like to be a little more settled, and ensure this is going to work out."

Mom laughed. "Apparently, my children had no doubts about things working out, because they jumped the gun. Three new grandkids, all within a couple weeks of one another. Talk about exciting."

"I've got some food being delivered in thirty minutes," I said. "The gents might want to get dressed in real clothes. The kids too, for that matter." I raised my voice. "Kids, out of the pool. Dry off and get dressed. We'll watch a movie after supper, but then it's off to bed. Big day tomorrow."

"You got it, Dad," Belinda said. "Everybody go."

"The kids don't seem to have any doubts at all," Mom said. "I guess that makes me feel a little better."

"Belinda and Jeremy couldn't be happier," Bobbi said. "They know they're getting the best Dad in the world."

"Tyler and Joy feel the same way," Maya said.

"Then what am I worried for," Mom said.

"I haven't got a clue," Ann said. "I keep telling you things are perfect."

That's certainly the way I felt.

The movie they watched that night was 'Cheaper by the Dozen', with Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt. Berserker, Maya, Sandy and the kids stayed to watch, planning on spending the night before the wedding tomorrow. With the six kids there, and three more on the way, we were getting perilously close to a dozen ourselves. The premise were the dozen kids from two different marriages were a blended family and while Bonnie was gone on a book tour, Steve Martin had to handle all twelve kids. Chaos ensued. It was a funny movie, and the kids loved it, and the adults enjoyed it too. I wondered if we'd hit a dozen between us.

I don't know about Maya, Sandy and B, but my two lovelies had lied and we had sex anyway, except they both rode me to avoid mussing the hair too much.

Breakfast was a little like the chaos in the movies with people flying this way and that, everyone trying to get ready. I had a whole stack of rings to give the best man, ones for the women and the children. We were becoming a family, in every sense of the word.

The kids put their good clothes on, but the rest of us took our clothes to the church in garment bags, both for warmth purposes, and to keep them sharp for the ceremony. I had a stretch limo to get everyone to the church. There would be no worrying about alcohol consumption for us.

I put Scout and Belinda in charge of wrangling the kids while we all got dressed in rooms set aside for the purpose. The church was rapidly filling up when all three of the grooms and their best men and groomsmen found our way to the front of the church. Since the judge hadn't attended the rehearsal, he was going over his notes for the ceremonies involved.

He was going to start with the adoption proceedings. The paperwork had all been signed, but he was officially announcing it to everyone. Then the three marriages would all take place. As I waited for the ceremony to start, I looked over the crowd. My family was all there, Bobbi's family was all there, my Unit buddies were there with their wives/partners. The Greenbriars, Beth, Sahar, and several of the shelter security team was there and a bunch of my employees were there. I was feeling particularly blessed at the moment.

When the bridal march started, Ann and Mom came up together, splitting apart to join the two grooms, then the children, except for Tommy, then, Maya and Hoán and Xiu, Bobbi's two witnesses, Carole and Mandy, then Bobbi came on the arm of her father, and Sonia on the arm of Tommy, all of them eventually coming to a halt beside us in orderly groupings.

The judge, Carl Thomas, waited for the music to stop, then said, "This is a first for me. I'm announcing adoptions, and presiding over three marriages today, and something else I don't even have a name for. Let's start with first things first.

"Tommy, Belinda and Jeremy, your mothers have each agreed that you be adopted by Robert Johnson, without giving up parental rights of their own. Since this is unusual, and you're old enough to have opinions of your own, I wanted to know how you feel about it.

"Tommy, how do you feel about Robert becoming your father?"

"I don't really remember my real father. He died when I was very young. I always dreamed of having someone who I could call my Dad. Rooster...I mean, Robert, has been everything I ever imagined in a father, and more. I feel lucky that he wants to be my Dad. I am lucky he feels the same way about Belinda and Jeremy, and that we're all going to have the best Dad in the world, and I'll finally have a brother and sister to share him with."

"Belinda, how about you? Do you want Robert Johnson as your father?"

"Unlike Tommy, I remember my father, and I was lost when he died. I never thought I'd feel that way for a Dad again. Robert treats me and Jeremy as if we were his own children. I couldn't be happier than I am now, knowing he loves us as much as my real father did. I've got the best home life you can possibly imagine."

"Jeremy, do you love your new Dad."

"I love Rooster," he said. "He's the perfect Dad."

"Then by the power vested in me by the State of Minnesota, I declare each of you to be the lawful children of Robert Johnson, and each of your mothers. Let's get on to the weddings then."

The judge married first Ann, then my mother, with each of the ladies standing in for the other one as witnesses, Benson with his brother on his side, and Doc with his partner by him. I gave Mom away in the absence of her deceased father. Then it was Sonia's and my turn.

"Who gives this woman in matrimony?"

Tommy said, "I do, sir."

"Sonia, I understand you have something you want to say to Robert?"

"Yes, sir. My Rooster, the light of my life. I was in a pretty bad space before you came back to my life. I didn't feel like anything was ever going to improve, that at some point, my son would learn all that I had done to put food on the table, and a roof over our heads. That when that happened, I'd want to die and have the earth swallow me up. I was living day to day, week to week, knowing my life would someday end in disaster.

"Instead, you came into my life. At first, you didn't tell me who you were, hoping I'd recognize you from our time in high school. Recognize the skinny scarecrow everyone made fun of. I didn't. I didn't recognize you. My eyes were closed, unwilling to see the boy who'd given me his heart in high school, and kept me there, no matter what else entered his life. You searched for me, hoping to find me, then found me by accident. You stopped, and you changed my life, and the life of my son, in ways too profound to even say.
