Life After the Lottery, CH 93

Postquel

Something James was not prepared for...

The alarm went off at 4:30 Thursday morning.

"We need to get everyone up and ready for the boat," Dawn said.

I went to the kids' rooms first. They were in one bedroom. Sylvia and Hileah were already up and getting them up. Dawn and I went to check on everyone else. My mom and Ann were making breakfast for anyone who wanted to eat. Lieke was making sandwiches from the leftover ham and turkey to take. By 5:30, we were ready to head to the harbor.

"David... you keep everyone out of trouble," I told him.

"Meow! Meow!"

"We'll keep an eye on them," Hanna said.

When we got to the boat, there was a lot to unload and carry. Before Leah left, she gathered all the kids and instructed them on how to stay safe on the boat and in the water. She told us the kids had to wear life jackets while the boat was moving, so we got all of them in one. We headed out to the island.

"Why do we have to wear these? We can swim?" Winter asked.

"Because the boat is moving fast. If you fell off, it would take some time to come back and get you."

"Oh. Okay."

She walked off. Rachel looked at me like, "That was it? No pushback?"

We had been underway for about 30 minutes. I went into the galley and was shocked to see all the kids eating the breakfast Leah's helper was cooking. Sylvia was helping in the galley to feed everyone. Hileah was outside, looking a little green around the gills.

"Are they all okay?" I asked Sylvia.

"Seems to be! Not sure about Hileah!"

"I'll get her to come inside."

I went back out.

"Hileah... if you come inside, it will be easier on you."

"... okay..."

I got her in the galley and handed her a soda to sip on. She felt better after a few minutes of distraction.

"Don't sit outside watching everything going up and down," I told her.

"I have never been on a boat."

After they ate, all the kids were outside, looking over the railing 30 minutes later, as we approached the island. I had been taking photos of the kids. The seven of them were having a lot of fun. We had the redheads in dark T-shirts, and everyone was covered in sunscreen.

After we anchored, Leah told us it was best to keep the kids in their life preservers to start while they snorkeled. We all agreed with her.

It took some time to get all the kids geared up and in the water. Leah and her helper were staying on the boat, watching the kids while they swam with the adults. Amy had her SCUBA gear on and was under the kids in the water, taking pictures of them. After about an hour, we were all back on the boat.

Dawn, Samantha, and I were going to SCUBA dive next. We explained to the kids that we were going to go into the kelp so they could look down and watch us. Our parents swam over to the kelp with the kids and us. Dawn, Samantha, and I went down while Amy snorkeled and took photos. We had a good dive with the sun making golden shafts of light as it streamed through the kelp, and the kids enjoyed watching. Others made one dive before lunch while the rest of us swam with the kids as they snorkeled.

After everyone had eaten lunch and rested for a bit, Linda and Rachel were going SCUBA diving with Amelia and Jeanine. My wives and I decided to let the kids try a little SCUBA diving. My dad and Charlie joined us. All of our gear had a second backup octopus regulator on the tanks. After explaining things to the kids, we took four of them out with us. Stan was going to help keep an eye on them.

We let them practice breathing with the regulator as they swam alongside us. I had Fire with me.

"You ready to go underwater a little?" I asked.

"Sure!"

"Never hold your breath. You don't need to."

"Okay! Let's go!"

I held her hand and let the air out of my BC, and we went down about 5 feet. She was having a blast, so I took us down to about 15 feet. She was holding on to me as she looked around. The water was only about 25 feet deep, so I held her hand, and we went down to the bottom. Her eyes were huge as she looked around. She was doing better than I thought she would. I looked around, and the other three were about halfway to the bottom.

I kept holding up the OK sign, and Fire would do OK back as I had taught her. After some time, I pointed toward all the kelp, and she gave me an OK. We swam slowly to where all the sunlight was beaming in through the kelp. Amy had caught up with us and was taking our picture as Fire touched the kelp. We didn't stay long because she was sucking air out of the tank fast. Before we surfaced, I saw that the other three were either on the bottom or swimming around with an adult.

"That was cool!" Fire exclaimed after we surfaced. "Why didn't we stay down longer?"

"Because you were using up all the air!"

We swam back to the boat and got back on with everyone else. The kids were talking 100 miles an hour. A bit later, after we refilled the tanks, we took the other three kids out. Amy took Junior, and I took the camera this time. Linda and Rachel followed us with Sarah and Elizabeth. All of them had a good time underwater.

Once everyone was back on the boat, the kids went crazy.

"Let's do it again!" They were all yelling.

"When can we do it by ourselves?" They were asking.

"I will check, but I think you have to be 10 years old before you can dive with an adult."

"Ahhhh! Bummer!!"

"But... you can learn in our pool."

"Cool!"

We had all the kids take a break and get some water and pineapple juice in them while the adults went snorkeling.

I was taking some photos from the boat when Leah came up to me.

"It is 10 to be a certified junior diver to dive with an adult," she said.

"I thought it was. We took them down to the bottom, and they loved it."

"The hardest thing to teach a kid is to not hold their breath when they come up or have to make an emergency ascent."

"That will be something we will teach them in the pool."

"You all haven't been here in a while."

"Had to get everyone graduated and the kids old enough. We will be coming back now. Samantha starts her 2nd year this fall. Not sure she will have time."

"If you are going to come and want to charter the boat, call me a month or so ahead of time."

"I will. I wasn't sure the kids could handle it."

"They are having a great time. How long are you all staying?"

"Only two weeks. All of us, including Linda and Rachel, are probably going to put at least two weeks on our calendars around Christmas every year."

"That is a good time to come. Not as hot. Rains a little more, but that is not a problem."

"So, how are you doing?"

"I got married two years ago."

"Good for you."

"And... my husband is good with us sharing with a few friends. He is a great guy. He is the captain of another boat."

"That is great, Leah. Good for you."

"I own this boat, but we are going to buy a big catamaran dive boat so we can take out more people at once."

"What does a boat like that cost?"

"A 46-foot one set up nicely for diving for 25 to 30, new, $700,000. It will be a few years before we can afford to borrow the money for it. There is a place on the island that builds some fantastic cats for diving."

"Can you pay for it with trips?"

"Oh, yes. The two of us would captain it and sell this one. It just takes a big down payment to borrow the money."

"How much more money do you need to buy it?"

"We need to save about $75,000 more to have a down payment for borrowing $500,000, but they go up every year."

"What will a loan cost you?"

"Probably 6%. Around $3,500 a month for a payment for 20 years."

"Can you handle that?"

"Yes, we just need about $200,000 to put down. We need about $75,000 more. Maybe in two years. After fuel and costs, we clear over $2,000 a day."

"Keep working on it."

Later we took all the kids down again. By 4:00, everyone had enough, so we headed back. I was sitting in the galley with Dawn, drinking some pineapple juice.

"Leah got married two years ago to a captain of another boat," I said.

"Good for her."

"She said he is good with sharing, and they are very happy."

"Even better."

"The two of them are saving their money to buy a big catamaran for diving."

"What does something like that cost?

"A custom-built 46-foot one is about 700. They need to save about $75,000 more so they can borrow half a million."

"Is business that good?"

"She said they could go out every day with 25 to 30 people."

"At $250 a head, that is not bad."

"We are going to loan her the rest..."

"I figured you would!" Dawn said and kissed me.

"She doesn't know it yet."

We saw some of the kids curled up on the couches in the galley, asleep. An hour later, we were at the dock. It took 45 minutes to get everything unloaded and turned in. I was still on the boat with Leah as she hosed it down.

"Let's sit for a minute so I can write you a check for today."

We went into the galley, I grabbed my bag, and we sat down. I got my checkbook, wrote her a check for the charter, and gave it to her.

"Thanks, James."

"You remember where the house is?"

"Oh yes."

"I want you and your husband to come by the house. I am going to loan you the money you need for the boat at 2%."

"What? You can't do that."

"Leah, let me do this. That way, you two can go ahead and get the boat, and it won't go up over 2 years."

"You... really want to do this?"

"Yes. I have no doubt you two will be successful. That should keep your monthly payments down to $3,000. I will guarantee a loan up to $700,000, if you need it."

"We only need less than $600,000. Dr. Smith... are you sure you can do this?"

"Leah, the money is no problem. Can you go and buy or order one this week or next?"

"Yes. We were planning to look at one they are building on Sunday to get some ideas."

"Let's do this. When can we go look at it?"

"Heck! Tomorrow at about 5:30! They are open late because everyone works all day."

"Then just come to the house tomorrow and pick me up, and we will go order it if it is what you two want!"

"Wow! You mean it!"

"Yes. Leah... we did very well in the stock market a few years back. Our beliefs are that if we are blessed, we share the blessings."

She wrapped her arms around my neck and gave me a big kiss.

"Keanu won't believe this!"

"I will have some simple loan paperwork ready, and you will just go ahead and order or buy one."

"Wow! Thanks! Thanks!"!

"No problem."

I left and went to the dive shop. Everyone was ready to go.

"Leah and her husband are coming by tomorrow about 5:30. They are going to pick me up, and we are going to buy a boat," I told Dawn.

"Good."

"You want to go?"

"Sure."

"What are you buying?" Amy asked from the backseat.

"We are loaning Leah and her husband money to buy a bigger dive boat."

"Cool!" Samantha said.

All the cars headed back to the house.

*****

Leah and Hanna had a nice big dinner ready when we got to the house around 6:15. The kids were tired, and after they ate, they all went to bed. We all went outside to watch the sunset and drink wine. All the ladies got naked, and we walked down to the beach.

"This is so fantastic," Ann said as she stood looking out over the water at the golden sunset.

"I could retire here if it weren't so damn expensive," Charlie said.

"Charlie... if you want to retire here, do it. We have plenty of money," I told him.

"Too far from home..."

"We can always buy a smaller house for anyone who wants to come and stay on and off for a few months at a time," Dawn said.

"Just being able to walk down to the beach and see this any night is incredible," Ann added.

"We have a few years before we are ready to retire," Charlie said.

"You know you can come here anytime," Dawn told them.

We had carried some blankets with us. I spread one out and sat, and Dawn and my girls joined me. A few minutes later, Charlie, Ann, and Amelia were on a blanket having sex.

"You know... I am happy my parents have Amelia," Dawn said softly.

"It will keep them young."

Samantha straddled my hips and just sat.

"You all... don't let me keep you from taking a vacation," Samantha said.

"We'll think about it, but what about you taking a day or two in the winter to ski?" Dawn said.

"That sounds like fun!"

"I have never even water skied," Amy said.

"It didn't take me long to learn when James and I went a few times right after we got married."

"If you can do it... I am sure I can," Samantha said and smiled.

"You better watch it!"

"What is the hardest part to learn?"

"Stopping!"

"Oh great..."

Samantha turned around so she could watch the sunset and slid her pussy down on my cock.

"Your mom is right," she said.

Amy lay next to Dawn so they could hold each other and watch the sunset.

"Where did Stan and Jeanine head off to?" Dawn asked.

"They are... visiting some friends," Samantha said.

"Just visiting?"

"They will be back tomorrow!"

"I see."

Linda and Rachel had walked off down the beach naked.

"Are you three okay if I spend one night a week with Linda and Rachel?" I asked as I rubbed Samantha's back.

"Of course," Dawn said. "We have never had a problem with that, and she knows it."

"Is she settling in to being a mom?" Amy asked.

"Yes, but..." I started.

"But what?" Dawn asked.

"She is becoming a mom..."

"What does that mean?"

"Some women, after they have kids... begin to think they have to be more responsible and act like a proper mom."

"What is a "proper" mom?" Amy asked.

"Focusing on the kids and not themselves."

"We all have done that."

"No... they forget they are a sexy woman and forget to focus on their needs."

"Oh... I understand..." Dawn said.

"And... the three of you need never forget you are sexy ladies. Our children are our priorities, but that does not mean forget who we are and our own needs... you hear me?"

"Are you saying we are doing that?" Dawn asked.

"Some..."

"Like what?"

"You three just need to make sure you don't forget who you are and your needs as a woman."

"What have we done?" Amy asked.

"I am not going to point out anything... just make sure..."

"You need to tell us what we are doing?" Dawn asked.

"Nope."

"Sometimes... I forget I am still in my twenties," Samantha said.

"What do you mean, sis?"

"On some level... I am still a young kid. I find myself growing up fast."

"Well, I am already grown," Dawn added.

"Don't start that "I am in my 40s," shit again," I said.

"I am!"

"Dawn... I don't care if you are in your forties. You are an incredibly sexy lady. Don't ever forget that," Amy said.

"All of you are," I said.

"So is your mom," Samantha said.

"Mom is still a very sexy lady," Dawn said.

"All of you are and will always be. You can be sexy moms," I told them.

"Has Linda forgotten that?"

"She doesn't dress as sexy as she had been. She won't listen to me. You three need to talk to her about it."

"She has to maintain her image of a successful business lady and a mom," Amy said,

"Oh, bullshit! I had finally gotten her out of the I am a business tycoon bit, and now that is going away. I want you three to make sure she and Rachel get back into a sexy woman attitude... and also a sexy mom."

They were quiet for a minute.

"Okay?" I asked.

"Yes..."

"And that goes for all of you!"

By the time the moon was up, everyone was having sex in the cool air.

Lieke and Hanna showed up with bottles of wine and glasses.

"Join us, you two!" My dad said.

"For wine, maybe!" Hanna said and laughed.

After the first glass of wine, Lieke was riding my dad, and she had talked Hanna into riding Charlie. Lieke had to explain things to her first. The two of them were having fun.

Shortly after midnight, we all walked back to the house. Sylvia and Hileah were on the big sofa having some fun.

*****

Friday, everyone did as they pleased. I went back to the store with Leah to load up again. We all enjoyed hanging out around the house.

There was a knock on the door at 5:20. It was Leah and her husband.

"We need to get going. I called them and told them we were coming," Leah said.

"Dawn wants to go. Let me get her."

I went in and got Dawn. She had on some skimpy shorts and a very skimpy bikini top. We went out and got in their car.

"Dawn and James, this is my husband, Keanu."

We all said hello.

"Mr. Smith, we can't thank you enough for helping us," he said.

"We are happy to do it."

It took about 30 minutes to get to the place near another harbor. We all got out and could smell the fiberglass.

"Dawn and James, this is Kimo. He owns the place and designs the boats," Leah told us.

"Hello, we have the same name, James," Kimo said as we shook hands.

"You two have got to see this one they are building right now," Leah said.

We went into a large building that smelled strongly of curing fiberglass. I could see a beautiful multi-level catamaran they were working on. It was nice. It had two sets of steps on the back for divers. It was nearly finished, so we could get on it, and it was outfitted well.

"This is a 58-foot boat built for a dive boat," Kimo said as he showed us around.

"Leah, is this the type of boat you two want?" I asked.

"Yes. It is more than we can afford, though. We will get something a little smaller. Around 46 feet."

"Kimo, is this one sold?" Dawn asked.

"Not yet. Several people are looking at it."

"It looks great," I said.

"It is going to be a nice boat."

"How much is it?" Dawn asked.

"Once this one is fully outfitted, it will be $850,000."

"Ouch."

"It is going to be a very nice dive boat with a big galley and kitchen."

"How much longer before it is ready?" I asked.

"A month."

"I want Leah and Keuna to have this one. How much is it if I write you a check right now?"

"Seriously? Right now?"

"Yes, if you can help them with the price."

"Oh... uhh..."

"Right now... before I leave. I would think you would like to have this one sold so you can plan another one," I said.

"If you are serious...$825,000."

"I am very serious. How about $820,000, and you make sure it is outfitted the way they want it?" I reached into my back pocket, took out my checkbook, and waited.

"James..." came from Leah, and I held up my hand.

Kimo looked at me standing there with my checkbook.

"Okay! Sure!"

"Great. Let's go write it up."

Kimo started to walk away.

"James... that is more than we can afford," Leah said.

"How much do you have right now?"

"$75,000, until we sell my boat."

"Then you are getting $750,000 from me. At 2% for 20 years, your payments will be about $3,800 per month. It will be a simple interest loan, so you can pay more on it if you want. That is better than $3,500 a month you were looking at for less of a boat."

She and her husband just looked at me.

"Thanks... James." She hugged me around my neck.

We followed Kimo to his office and sat down.

"Kimo, since you are still outfitting, don't cut back on anything since you made me a good price."

"Oh, I won't. This is going to be a nice boat for Leah and Keanu. I am happy they can get it."

"If it will be another month, that will give us time to sell my boat," Leah said.

"Leah, if the two of you are going to run this boat, since yours is paid for, why don't you lease it?" Kimo told her. "There is always someone looking to lease a nice boat like yours."

"I guess we could. That will help us pay for the new one!"

"You should be able to lease it for at least $3,000 a month."

"See... that is even better, you two," Dawn said with a smile.

Kimo worked with Leah and Keanu to fill out all the paperwork. I saw him keep looking up at Dawn. Her tiny bikini top triangles were not covering all of her huge brown areolas, and her big nipples were pushing through the material. She saw him looking and "adjusted" the top as he looked, showing off her nipples.

"Sir, you need to fill out this part as the lien holder, I guess."

I filled out the form and signed it, then wrote him a check.

"That bank has a local branch. You can get that cashed no problem," I told him.

"They are my bank also."

"Kimo, do you have a list of things you were planning to include on this boat?" Dawn asked.

"Sure. Let me get the material lists. It is complete with everything we will be putting on it."

He printed it out from his computer. Dawn took it and gave it to Leah. He kept looking at Dawn's tits.

"What else do you need then?" I asked.

"Nothing. Thank you, Dr. Smith. Thank you, Leah and Keanu. I know you will enjoy this one. Oh, let me get all of you some of my new T-shirts." Kimo left the office.

I looked at Leah and saw tears.

"Leah, honey. Don't cry," I said.

She came to me, hugged me, and held me.

"Thank you," she said.

I watched as Keanu went and hugged Dawn and held her.

"You two... no more crying," Dawn said.

"There is no way we can show you how much we appreciate this," Keanu said as he released Dawn.

"We will expect you two to be very successful. I can feel it in your futures," Dawn said.

"I got an assortment of sizes... pick one that will fit," Kimo said as he held out blue T-shirts.

I watched as Dawn picked one up and held it up to herself.

"You think this will fit me?" Dawn asked Leah.

"It may not be big enough to cover your big boobs, Dawn!" Leah said and laughed.

"Let me see...."

We all watched as Dawn untied her top and pulled it off. I just smiled and watched. Once she began pulling the shirt on, I knew she had deliberately picked out one that was far too small. She struggled with it as Kimo and Keanu just watched with their mouths hanging open. Leah looked at me, put her hand over her mouth as she giggled.

"I think you are right..." Dawn said as she pulled on the skin-tight shirt. "Let me see what size it is? I thought it was a small."

Leah was struggling not to laugh at Dawn.

Dawn pulled on and struggled with the tight T-shirt until she had her arms tangled up in it over her head.

"Well, shit! Help!"

I took a step and grabbed the edge of the T-shirt and pulled it up slowly, holding her arms up as we all looked at her firm, full brown tits. I finally had it off of her. Her hair was all messed up and covering her face. She pulled it off her face as she stood there topless, then took the shirt and looked at it.

"Oh... child's small..."

"Amazed you got it on at all," I said.

She smiled at me and winked, then went to the desk and looked through the shirts.

"Here we go..." she said, picking up a shirt and holding her arms up and pulling it on, then smoothing it down.

"That one fits." Kimo was standing there as Leah picked out two shirts.

"These will fit us," Leah said with a smile.

"Biggest one he has is a 4X," Dawn said as she picked one up.

"That may fit me. Kimo. Do you need anything else?"

"I think we got everything signed..."

"When we come for vacation, I don't expect you to charge us for going out!" Dawn said, and we laughed.

"I guess not!"

We started walking back to the car.

"I can't take you anywhere!" I said. Dawn and Leah started laughing.

"He gave us a good discount!" Dawn said.

Dawn and I got in the backseat.

"Just tell her, honey," Leah was saying when they got in and closed the doors.

"Mrs. Smith... you have an incredible body," Keanu said.

"Thank you, Keanu."

"I was going to ask if we could stop by like last time, but since you have all your kids, I guess not," Leah said.

"They are a handful."

"And that is all of them you all had from being pregnant last time?"

"All seven of them. I had twins, and so did Linda," Dawn said.

"Did you all know you were having twins?"

"I did!"

"Dr. Smith and Mrs. Smith, I don't know how to thank you all for this," Keanu said.

"Make plenty of money with it!" I replied.

"Dawn... I think we got a better price from Kimo looking at your hot body!" Leah said and laughed.

"Oh, I am sure we did!"

"We will make a lot of money! We can take 35 people out on that boat. It has two big compressors to fill four tanks at the same time, and a big galley. We could even do a sunset dinner cruise with it," Leah said.

"He will need to add some extra SCUBA tanks to carry on the boat with that many people," Keanu added.

"Do you have that much business?" Dawn asked.

"We are full every day and must turn down people. We will be taking out 30 or more people every day on the new boat. Twenty is our limit now."

"Sounds great. I expect to see a website up with pictures of your new boat," I told them.

"We will!" Leah exclaimed.

When we got to the house, I had them come in. I kept simple interest loan forms on my laptop.

"Hi, Leah and Keanu," Lieke said when we walked in.

"They just bought us a new catamaran!" Leah exclaimed.

"That big one you were looking at that they are building? That is bigger than you wanted."

"That one!"

"Wow. Great! Keanu, these are the people and Ms. Williams who built the new resort on our land. What are you going to do with your other boat?"

"Lease it."

"You know... there will be a harbor and docks at the new resort, Leah. Maybe you could operate your other boat out of there. Talk to Ms. Williams. The harbor will be open in January," Lieke said.

"Oh. They are the ones," Keanu said.

"Yes. Ms. Williams is here, too. Go say hello."

Leah walked off after Lieke pointed out Linda.

"Bet they are excited," Lieke said.

"We decided to help them out," I added.

"They helped us buy that 58-foot boat, Lieke," Keanu said.

"Great!"

Leah came back and was with Linda. Keanu was checking out Linda in her thong.

"You two sound like you know how to run a boat business," Linda was saying.

"We have been operating dive boats for a few years," Leah replied. "I learned from my father."

"I think the resort could supply plenty of business. I have been thinking about how we could add a dinner sunset cruise there. The hotel will have plenty of kitchens. I don't know anyone who would know about that."

"Honey... Ms. Williams thinks there would be enough business at the new resort to run a big dive boat and a sunset dinner cruise," Leah said.

"It will have a small harbor," Linda added.

"I don't think we can afford another big boat!" Keanu said and laughed.

"Don't worry about that part of it. I really need someone who can operate, or owner-operators," Linda said. "If you two think it is something you could run for me... we have a deal."

"I am sure we can!" Leah exclaimed.

"Perfect. Do this... put together a business plan for another big boat to operate out of the resort harbor. A dive boat you could use for a dinner cruise. Come up with all the costs and operating expenses, and we will go over it."

"Keanu... we could run the new boat at the harbor there, then start with a second new cat at the resort."

"Sounds like you have enough business for both now. Can you just order another cat like the one you just bought?" Linda asked.

"I don't think we can afford another big cat!" Keanu exclaimed.

"MRRRFF!!" Came from David. He was sitting on the table watching Lieke and Hanna in the kitchen.

"Different kind of cat, David," I said.

"... meow..."

"The one you just bought was $800,000?" Linda asked.

"A little more."

"No problem. How long does it take to order another one like that?"

"Outfitted like that...5 months or more," Leah said.

"You think a 2nd one would be successful out of the resort?" Linda asked.

"Well, yes. Modify it a little for dinners for twenty people..."

"Seven months would be about right to get it built, the business set up, and a place built in the harbor. Do you two want to be my new cruise operations managers and owners?"

"Yes!" Leah exclaimed.

"Great. Get to work on the business plan and see how much of a deposit your boat builder wants to start another one. I will write you a check before we leave."

"Wow! Great!" Came from Keanu.

"We will talk to him about beefing up the dining area. Ms. Williams, thank you so much for this opportunity," Leah said and hugged her.

"No problem. Now we have another service to offer at the resort. I plan on you adding a third boat after the first of the year."

One thing we had added to the house was a wireless network and a printer. I grabbed my laptop, found the loan forms, and filled them out while they talked, then printed them. I sat down with them, completed the loan forms, and made them copies.

"Dr. Smith... thank you so much! Ms. Williams, thank you so much! What do we do when we have the business plan available?"

"I will give you my contacts here, and we will set up a conference call."

"Great. I will call Kimo in the morning about another boat. He will be shocked!"

"Get to work. Have it outfitted the way we need it."

"This means so much to us," Keanu said.

"Happy to help. I need people who know what they are doing. Find out how much you need to get the other boat started and call me before we leave next weekend."

"Will do!"

*****

We were all sitting down to a late dinner.

"You all, that was special helping them out with that boat and now a business. They have wanted to do that since they got married," Lieke said.

"I got a deal and made them a great loan. That way, they got more boat than they would have," I said.

"I know they will love it. Linda, they will be very successful," Lieke said.

"The Spirits blessed us so we can help others," Dawn said. "Lieke... do you... spend time with them?"

"My boyfriend and I."

"Great. Any wedding plans?"

"Maybe! We have got to get things going for the resort first."

"How is that coming?"

"We have expanded the farm so much to provide for it. We will probably be adding twenty or more workers soon. The advance on the lease has let us buy equipment and animals. Linda is loaning us money to ramp up. We have enough cows now that they have been having calves for four years! We have a big herd! A herd of pigs and thousands of chickens! We have added acres of pineapple now, and acres and acres of fresh vegetables and orchards. We have a huge hothouse so we can start things like tomatoes from seeds."

"She is going to be a huge supplier for us," Linda said.

"Linda, we think by the time the resort opens, we will be able to supply about 10,000 eggs a day."

"That must take a huge operation!" Dawn said.

"They are mostly free range. Linda wanted that. It takes a lot of people. We have 20,000 laying hens and another 20,000 for fryers."

"That is a lot of chickens!"

"We have been raising them for four years!"

"How many pigs do you have now?" Linda asked.

"They are on the other end of the farm. I think we have over 4,000 by now after raising them for four years. They have a lot of babies! Being able to have time to raise the cows, pigs, and chickens has really held our costs down."

"How many cows?"

"That is on the other side of the farm, where it is flatter and pasture. The last report I had said 5,000 plus, including the dairy!"

"Tell them what else you have expanded into," Linda said.

"We are starting out small, but we now own two shrimp boats! And one fishing boat!"

"You are expanding!" Dawn exclaimed.

"This never would have been possible without Linda's help."

"And you are still growing," Linda said. "They are going to run charter fishing from the resort."

"Leah can now help us with that! We have a huge orchard that will be producing fully by next year. It is over 300 acres, and we have nearly everything! Apples do not do well here because of the heat, but citrus does! A lot of fruit, like avocados, can be sourced locally, along with nuts and other things. Things that do not grow well here are ones that need cool days and nights."

"A handful of her cousins will complete their hotel Business Degrees soon to help run the resort. That was part of my deal with the people managing it. Leike and I have started ten shops in the strip mall and hotel run by her family. Nearly all the employee housing and apartments are completed. Her family will be about half of the security force..."

We looked, and tears were running down Lieke's face.

"Lieke, honey... no need to cry," Linda said, putting her arms around her.

"This is just more of an opportunity than my family could have ever imagined..."

"We are not done yet!" Linda exclaimed and laughed.

"What else are you planning on?" I asked.

"Vineyards and a winery, and a couple of microbrewers! I am going to get some help on creating wines made from more than grapes. I have been told it can be made from pineapple. The slope of those large hills will be perfect for grapes in the volcanic soil."

"I could bring a friend from France over to help you get started," Linda said.

"Don't forget the bees!" Lieke exclaimed.

"Oh, yes. We have a large, growing apiary near the orchard! They will pollinate everything and make some great honey."

"How many people will be employed?" I asked.

"Hundreds!" Lieke exclaimed. "It will be fantastic!"

"The resort even has its own large bakery," Linda said. "Dawn... I need you to come and teach them how to make that bread you cook! You make so many different kinds!"

"I can be persuaded!"

"Do you need anything special for it?"

"You would need to raise blue corn. Several other varieties of corn would grow great here. They would need sweet potatoes and pumpkins, like the ones we have in our garden now. Lieke, is there a mill on the island that could grind corn?"

"Yes. We will have sweet potatoes along with regular potatoes. They grow great in the soil. Potatoes cost a fortune when imported and are not practical. We are harvesting and selling them right now. We can add pumpkins and the corn."

"They take a lot of room," I said.

"It is not exclusive to the Cherokee, but you love that wild rice bread I make."

"Where do I get the special corn seeds?" Lieke asked.

"You would need to check with the state and see if it would be prohibited from importing. I have bags of the seeds. If you can, one season would provide you with plenty."

"I'll check. Wild rice is not a problem. Are the pumpkins special?"

"Regular pumpkins. Do they grow here?"

"Yes."

"You would not have oak trees for the acorn bread I make sometimes."

"You bake all these different types of bread?" Lieke asked.

"She makes bread when she is pissed!" I said.

"Teach them how to make that Frybread," Rachel said.

"That one is easy."

"You may have to come and stay for a few months!" Lieke said.

"I can't, but I bet I could supply you with a dozen ladies from the reservation who would love to come and teach you!"

"That would be great! Can you set that up for this fall?" Lieke asked.

"I am sure I can. Maybe rotate some throughout the year."

"That would be great. Serving authentic Cherokee food would be different!"

"How much dried corn are you growing?" Dawn asked.

"A lot! We grow hundreds of acres of dried corn for feed!"

"There are some great dishes made by Cherokee with regular corn. You could have an ethnic restaurant! I'll get you a list of special beans to grow. Plan on growing a lot of squash, leeks, and onions."

"I think an ethnic Cherokee restaurant would be a big draw," Linda said.

"You would need venison."

"Deer meat is not a problem! They are trying to get rid of a lot of them!" Lieke said. "It is cheaper than any other meat."

"What are you doing about a butchery?" I asked.

"We have our own big one on the farm now. It has been up and running about two years," Lieke said. "We are supplying a lot of beef and some pork locally. That makes us a lot of money. We are about to open a butcher shop in town. We are adding on for the chickens."

"I can send some men to teach you how to butcher venison properly and make jerky. They can also teach you how to marinate and cook it," Dawn told Lieke.

"Lieke... we have several medium-sized restaurants in the hotel signed. We haven't signed the others yet. You think you could make a successful ethnic place?" Linda asked.

"Oh, hell yes! We are about to sign the Japanese Kobe restaurant!"

"Cherokee food in Hawaii! That will be different. Dawn... would any of your people be interested in helping run it?" Linda asked.

"We have a lot of young people who want to move away from the reservation. I am sure we could find a few to come here!"

"Then we will now have a Cherokee restaurant!" Linda said.

"Real Indian cuisine!" I said, and we laughed.

"Lieke? Where do you get berries and mushrooms?" Dawn asked.

"Mushrooms grow like weeds in the volcanic soil. They also grow them in the lava tubes. What kind of berries?"

"Blueberries, blackberries, raspberries. I can also tell you what kind of wild greens are used to cook."

"I will have to check if we can have them. Berries are plentiful, also. Strawberries and mulberries are plentiful. I think the only rule about blackberries and raspberries is that they have to be well contained because they are invasive. We can source the plants locally. We also have some local berry types. What do wild greens need to grow?"

"Some full sun, some partial or full shade."

"Not a problem."

"We are going to have a small farmers' market for tourists, employees, and locals," Linda added.

"I think it sounds like you are going to have a wonderful place for all," Dawn said.

"We are!" Lieke said. "It will be a small town!"

"Have the costs for expanding your farm been high?" I asked.

"Yes. Things like equipment cost more to ship here than the equipment costs. Materials are high. Livestock can be high. Having four extra years for our herds to reproduce has been fantastic. We are now butchering and selling the older livestock. You know everything here is high. In 3 years, we will be in a position to sell cattle. We have spent several million on just farm equipment."

"If you need anything, let us know," Linda said. "I have filled hundreds of containers with things for the resort. Costs are nearly double, but if my people can buy it on the West Coast and put it in containers to ship here, it saves some money. We can even fill containers out of Japan."

"That is where we get the Kubota tractors from, Japan," Lieke added.

Linda told us it was about time for her to send some specialists here to advise on many things for the resort, even though a big hotel chain was managing it. They were at the point of ordering large quantities of items, such as linens and towels unique to the resort, along with all other logo items needed for the resort. Linda was going to have another art store here.

We talked to Lieke for a long time. We told her about our plans for our homeschool and our garden. Dawn was helping her make a list of things she needed to grow and seeds she needed to get. Dawn could source the odd corn for her, and they could grow it for a season and then have plenty of seeds. She and Linda were discussing shipping hundreds of pounds of blue corn seed on Linda's jet when she came back.

*****

"It sounds wonderful that Lieke is going to be such a success with her farm now," Dawn said as we all got into bed.

"She will be a tycoon here," Amy said as she sat on my cock.

"She will be very successful. She has a good head for business. Linda told me that Lieke will be her on-site director of operations. She said she is very smart about business operations," I added.

"How much money has Linda loaned her?" Samantha asked.

"She told me she has loaned her about $20,000,000 to buy and build, but Lieke will have no trouble paying it all back. She needed money at a cheaper rate than she could get locally for tractors, animals, buildings, and for building operations like the butchery, dairy, and bakery. She said Lieke's operation is self-sufficient now and has started paying back the money already."

"She must be employing all of her cousins and family!" Amy exclaimed.

"She has plenty of them!"

"Linda is willing to let anyone in Lieke's extended family who wants to get trained to run anything to have the chance to do it. She will even cover MBA and undergrad business degrees," I said.

"This is what Lieke's family really needed after what the state tried to do," Dawn said.

"Karma is a bitch!" Amy said.

*****

Saturday morning, I was on our beach with Hileah and Sylvia, watching the kids as they played in the surf. They were chasing each other through the shallow water. David and the kittens had discovered the tiny crabs that ran along the beach and were playing with them. I was waiting for one of them to get pinched on the nose by one.

"Fire! Come back toward the beach some!" I exclaimed.

She moved closer.

"I can swim in the waves!"

"You think so?"

"Yes!"

I walked to her.

"Come on then."

There were only gentle waves breaking, but they were waves. She followed me until she was about chest deep in the water.

"See!" She let me know.

Then a wave hit her, knocking her down. I reached for her, but she popped up.

"See. The ocean is tricky."

"I didn't see it..."

She turned to watch the small waves coming in. Another one hit her, knocking her down. She came up sputtering this time.

"You saw that one."

"They are... strong... it grabbed my legs..."

"Lean into the next one and brace yourself."

She waited, then leaned into the next one. It didn't knock her down.

"I did it!"

"You did, but you are too small to turn your back on them. I saw you riding some yesterday on the surfboard."

"I did. Get surfboard, Daddy!"

"You have to put on a life preserver to ride the surfboard."

"I can do it!"

"We need to go out to a little deeper water. Yes, or no?"

"Okay."

I took her hand and grabbed the surfboard and life vest. We went out to shallow water.

"Put this on."

"... I don't need it..." she said as she put on the life vest.

"You just found out that the waves can pull you out from under the water."

We walked out to water deep enough that I could pick her up and set her on the surfboard. I walked out to water about shoulder deep on me and waited. We would get a wave big enough to push her about 25 feet.

A little bigger wave was coming.

"Lay down and hold on!"

She lay on the board, and I pushed it hard as the wave came in. The board slid through the water for about 25 feet.

"I did it!" She yelled.

I let her ride for a while, then had to let everyone else go for about an hour.

"I bet I can stand up!" Fire exclaimed.

"Bet you can't!" Chaske argued.

"Enough for now. Let's go back to the house."

"I want to try and stand up!" Fire exclaimed.

"You can try in the pool!"

I carried the surfboard while Hileah and Sylvia herded. When we got to the patio, I put the surfboard in the pool.

"I do it!"

"I have to help you. Get some water and sunscreen first."

"The sunscreen is sticky!"

"Yes, but you redheads burn faster!"

We got them in the shade, and Hileah went for water while Sylvia and I put sunscreen on them. Amy was taking photos.

After some water, I got in the pool with Fire. I moved the board to waist-deep water, away from the edge, and picked her up and sat her on it.

"I do it..."

"You want me to hold the board?"

"No!"

She tried to stand and fell into the water. I picked her up and sat her on it again.

"I am going to hold the board, so it doesn't move. If you were moving on a wave, it would not move like it is doing."

"... I do it..."

I held the board gently, and she managed to stand on her shaky legs.

"Not bad!"

"Now what?"

"Try to keep standing, and I will push you through the water."

She held her arms out and squatted a little as I gently pushed the board.

"Not bad!"

"I can do it!"

We did this several times as Amy took photos.

"Very good, honey!" Amy said.

This had created a line in the pool of waiting kids. All of them. They all did fairly well after some practice. Amy got pictures of all of them.

"I do it in the ocean!" Came from Fire.

"You all can try it with the life vest on."

"Cool!"

"Later."

"Bummer."

I went to grab a beer.

"Those are the smallest real surfboards I could find," Amy said after watching.

"They are perfect for them. I'll let them try on a wave later."

After they rested, everyone followed us to the beach to see if the kids could ride a surfboard. We had the two boards and life vests. Amy was ready to shoot video. The waves were coming in a little bigger. Nothing big, but enough to push the smaller board.

After Fire put on her life vest, we went out, and I sat her on the surfboard. Dawn was going out with me as backup. Once I was in shoulder-deep water, the small waves were breaking over my head.

"You ready, Fire?"

"Yes! I do it, Daddy!"

"I will push you off when the wave gets to you. You have to stand up fast to ride it a little."

"I do it!"

Dawn was about 25 feet away toward the beach.

"Go ahead and get on your hands and knees."

She got up, ready to go. A big enough wave was coming.

"Get ready!"

I pushed her off, and the wave picked her up.

"Stand up!"

She started and fell immediately, and Dawn grabbed the board.

"Bummer!" She exclaimed as she dog paddled.

Dawn helped her climb back on the board, and she pushed her back to me.

"Almost. Keep your balance," I said as Dawn swam back to her spot. "Try to stay in the middle of the board like you did in the pool."

I got her turned around and up on her hands and knees.

"Here comes one! You ready?"

"Ready!"

I pushed her off hard.

"Stand up!"

I watched, amazed, as she managed to get to her feet for a bit before falling. Dawn swam to her and grabbed the board and her.

"Not bad, honey!" Dawn told her.

"Almost do it!" She exclaimed.

Dawn got her back on the board and swam her out to me.

"Are you okay?"

"Okay. Go again!"

"I'll wait for a bigger wave this time!"

"Big wave, big wave!"

The waves had gotten a little bigger, but nothing huge. They were breaking over my head as I stood, though.

"A big wave is coming!"

"Big wave! Go!"

I pushed and swam behind her to get her going. Dawn just watched, amazed, as Fire stood on the board and went by her. She stayed up until the momentum ran out, then fell off. Linda was in the shallow water to grab her.

"That was great, Fire!" Linda exclaimed.

"Again, Mama Linda!"

Linda followed her out to water deep enough to set her on the board. Dawn grabbed the board and swam her out to me.

"One more time, then someone else can try."

"I go!"

I held the board until a little bigger wave came. I pushed and swam after it.

"Stand up!"

I watched as she stood and maintained her balance until the wave stopped near the beach and she fell off.

"I do it!"

Everyone was cheering for Fire.

Chaske came out next. He did as well. All of the kids did except Elizabeth. Since Elizabeth was a little taller, she was having more trouble with her balance. But all of them had managed to stand at least once, so Amy could get videos of them as she stood in the surf. We all cheered them on.

After a break, Linda had the other board, and the two of us were loading them up and pushing them off. They screamed and laughed as they got better at it. Dawn and I were just amazed. I was shocked to see David pacing back and forth as he watched. The kittens were chasing the little crabs.

We took a break and were all back on the beach.

"David, we are watching everyone closely," I reassured him.

"Mrrfff..."

"Everyone ready for a break!" I yelled.

"Yiiiiiiiiii!" I heard one of the kittens scream.

I looked, and Smoke was yelling because a crab had his nose.

"Smoke! Come here!" I yelled. He ran to me.

He was yelping as I grabbed the little crab and pulled it off.

"MRRR!!!"

"Be careful," I said as I rubbed his nose.

"Mrrrff!!"

We all headed the kids back to the house to get cleaned up and ready for dinner.

"We did it!" Fire exclaimed.

"All of you did very well," Linda told them.

"We don't need a life vest," Winter said.

"Yes, you do," Linda told them.

They were all excited as we showered them and us off.

"Let's get you all some dry clothes," Hileah said. She and Sylvia went with Samantha to get the kids some dry T-shirts.

"I am shocked they could do that," my dad said.

"Dad... they don't surprise us anymore," I said. "You should see all of them flying the flight simulator on their computers. It only took them a few days to master that."

"Dawn said you got all of them computers."

"We turned one of the bedrooms downstairs into a playroom, then a classroom. It now has eight desks and computers. Enough for Linda and Rachel's kids and one more for Sam's son. We picked up some pre-K and 1st-grade homeschooling software they are going through."

"You all are going to homeschool then?"

"They would be bored in a school. We can hire a teacher because we can claim our homeschool is a religious school. Dawn and Hileah will teach Cherokee history and language. Olivia is going to bring their son, and she is going to teach them Spanish. I can teach them math and science. I will get Linda to teach literature when they are ready. She is very well read. That is enough of the parents teaching that we can claim homeschool."

"Very good. They are far more advanced than regular kids their age."

"They are more advanced than kids several years older. They all have begun writing Cherokee. Dawn said that is shocking for their age."

"Do they understand Cherokee well?"

"Probably as well or better than English. We find them talking to each other in Cherokee and... the Spirits communicate with them in Cherokee. Dawn told me years ago when they were still babies that they babbled in Cherokee."

"And they can hear the Spirits?"

"Oh, yes."

"Amazing."

"Make sure you ask Chaske about talking to our animals."

"What?"

"Just ask him!"

Claire came into the house and grabbed a towel.

"David decided he had enough sand and salt on him and went for a swim in the pool! Then Smoke and Colors joined him. Silver wants no part of water! I may have to rinse him off," Claire said.

"I'll get him under the shower," I said.

"They got in the pool?" Dad asked.

"It's a Coon thing," Claire said. "Did you see Colors running up the path?"

"No."

"She had a small crab attached to her tail! She was hollering and trying to shake it off! I had to get it off for her."

"I knew that was going to happen! I had to pull one off Smoke's nose! They kept grabbing their paws, but that didn't bother them. Smoke decided to smell one!"

Everyone showered and cleaned up. I was helping Lieke and Hanna start dinner. We had picked up lobsters for the kids to try, along with some crab. I was hoping all the lobsters had died before I dropped them in the pot.

Dad and I had the big shrimp pot boiling outside with all the spices Lieke put in it. I grabbed the big Styrofoam cooler with the iced-down lobsters and crab in it, and we carried it outside. When Dad and I took the lid off, several were still wiggling.

"We will have to cook two batches. Put the lid back on before the kids see them," I said.

I went in and grabbed Dawn.

"You'd better keep the kids inside until we get all the lobsters in the pot. We still have some wigglers. It will take 10 to 15 minutes per batch."

"Okay! But get them in the pot! We are hungry! Everything else is ready!"

"Give us a few minutes."

I went back outside, and Dad and I put a dozen lobsters in the pot and put the lid on. Dawn and Linda were watching us. I gave them a thumbs up. Some of the kids came out to check.

"Are they cookin'?" Sarah asked as she and Elizabeth looked.

"Yes. Have you ever eaten lobster, Sarah?"

"I don't think so."

"They are just giant shrimp."

"I like shrimps!"

"Then you will like lobster. You don't really peel them like shrimp. You have to dig them out of a shell."

"Oh."

The kids came and went.

"I have a feeling you'd better find a large, sharp knife and plan on splitting the tails, son," Dad said.

"I think you are right. I will split them and see if they can handle that."

He watched the pot while I went to the kitchen.

"What do you need?" Lieke asked.

"Large, sharp knife and a big cutting board." She giggled.

I located a very large knife and ran it over the sharpening rods a few times. Lieke found me a large wooden cutting board.

"What are you going to do?" Amy asked as I headed back out.

"I think Dad and I will remove the tails and split them."

"Probably a good idea..."

We watched the pot for a few more minutes, then pulled the basket out and dumped the lobsters on a table to cool. I split them as Dad cooked the rest. While I was splitting the second batch, Dad tossed in six large rock crabs. Chaske had come out to watch.

"They cooked?" He asked, looking at one.

"Yes."

"They are big shrimps! They look like the big crawdaddies in the creek!"

He stayed and watched as Dad and I removed the tails and split them as they cooled by the time the crabs were done. We dumped the crabs out.

"They ugly," Chaske said.

"Taste like a shrimp," Dad said.

"Still ugly."

We carried all the nice-smelling lobsters and crabs inside to the big table... leaving the torsos outside.

"Big shrimps!" We heard a few times.

After we got the plates loaded, the adults helped teach the kids how to dig out the meat. I waited for complaints and eews and uuggs, but they never came. The kids really enjoyed dipping it in the melted garlic butter or cocktail sauce. I was watching Dawn watch the kids, amazed. They loved lobster. Dad and I showed them how to crack crab claws, and we ate them. Lieke had cooked baked potatoes and broccoli to go with everything. Our parents were watching the kids and shaking their heads.

"Maybe all of you should try oysters," Amelia said, giggling.

"Not safe this young," Dawn said.

We all had a very enjoyable meal... planning on having lobster again before we left because it cost less than steaks and was very good.

After dinner, the kids crashed after their day of suffering. We managed to get them all up to bed by 9:00.

"I am amazed we didn't get pushback on the lobsters," Rachel said.

"Me too," I replied. "I didn't let them see them wiggling before we dropped them in the pot."

"They all loved them and the crab," Linda said. "I did too."

"That is about the cheapest thing we can eat here!" I said. "That and fish."

Lieke and her cousin were cleaning up in the kitchen. We were all in the den enjoying some wine. The cats were all enjoying lobster and fish.

"Samantha, honey. What do you want to do now?" Dawn asked.

"Me?"

"It is your vacation."

"I'm doing it. Enjoying our family and the wine!"

"Why don't we load up the cars tomorrow and take the kids around the island, especially up on the volcano?" Linda said.

"They would find the volcano fascinating," Ann said. "I do."

"We can drive up there early and head back down before it gets really hot," Dawn said.

"Then we can drive through the two rainforests on the north side on the way back. They will love all the waterfalls," I suggested.

"Would we have time to get to the west side before the sun sets?" Rachel asked.

"Probably."

"Aren't the blowholes on the west side?"

"Yes."

"That would be a great place to watch the sunset."

"We will shoot for that then. Everyone can take their time. I think the two Escalades and the Jeep could handle all of us," I said.

"Let's take a convertible also. We don't want to be crowded," Dawn added.

"Stan, do you and Jeanine want to go with us?" Linda asked.

"We are going to visit some friends."

*****

We were up eating breakfast Sunday morning.

"Kids, we are all going to the volcano," I said.

"Cool! What's a volcano?"

We had explained some about volcanoes to them. They had seen some on the TVs and asked if they were erupting.

"After that, we'll drive through the rainforest and stop at the blowholes for sunset."

We would only be about an hour from the house then.

We had the cars loaded up after breakfast and headed to the volcano. Once we were in the lava fields, the kids were having a good time looking at it all. They wanted to take some lava rocks back home, but we told them it was bad luck. We stopped several times and let them look as we took photos. We had all the kids in dark shirts and their floppy hats, and had Fire and Rose covered in sunscreen, along with Claire and their moms.

Once we were at the top of Haleakalā, the kids asked what the observatories were, and I explained them. The view from there was always incredible. There were some clouds below us, and they made for some great photos.

I was telling the kids about the volcanoes and that the one on the Big Island erupted often, and we would go see it when they were older and would fly over it. They had seen some TV news on it erupting a little.

After we spent some time at the top, we headed down toward the rainforest. Everyone enjoyed all the greenery and lush plants. We stopped at several waterfalls, and we all got in the water at one of them. The photos with the kids under the waterfall would make some great large prints for the house.

When we made it to the Nakalele Blowhole, the sun was beginning to go down. The kids thought the water shooting into the air was fascinating with all the rainbows it made. We stayed until sunset to make some great photos, then headed back to the house. As we were driving back, the kids fell asleep.

We all stopped and picked up Chinese food to take back for a late dinner after we had called Lieke and told her not to cook. Once we were back at the house, everyone ate, and the kids headed to bed. The adults sat in the den or on the patio and sipped wine and beer.

*****

Monday morning, we were all up early. The kids were running around and chasing each other outside after breakfast. They were in and out of the pool chasing one another. All the ladies were in bikinis and thongs. We had the kids in T-shirts because they had gotten a little pink while up on the volcano. Lieke and Hanna were finally wearing their thongs after Dawn had gotten on to them. Hanna was cute. Seeing Lieke, Dawn, Hanna, Hileah, Winter, and Ann together... they all looked like island girls. I took a group photo of them.

"All of you look like island girls," I said.

"We are!"

That afternoon, everyone took a car and the kids and went driving around the island. I grabbed Dawn.

"Let's go for a drive," I told her.

We grabbed the Escalade and left.

"Where are we going?" Dawn asked.

"To see Allanah."

"What for?"

"I am thinking about buying a smaller house so family can come and stay for longer periods of time."

"Sounds like a good idea."

We arrived at Allanah's office in town and went in.

"Hello, Dr. and Mrs. Smith," Allanah said as we walked in.

"Hello, Allanah. It is now doctor and doctor. Dawn got her Ph. D."

"Congratulations. I pulled a handful of listings for you."

We sat at her desk.

"Beachfront homes are at a premium, but I found a few. I also found some nice places in gated communities on the beach."

We looked over the listings. I wanted something on or near the beach.

"How much are you going to spend?" Dawn asked.

"Whatever we want..."

"Let me show you one listing. It is a bit pricey, but it just came on the market. It is in a gated community on a golf course and near the beach. It may be bigger than you want. It is 3,200 square feet."

She set the photos in front of us.

"Oh, that is nice," Dawn said.

"It is only 3 years old."

The house was new, modern, and had lots of windows and doors. Dawn and I looked it over. It was $5,000,000.

"It has an ocean view with this 30-foot sliding door," Allanah told us. "It is near the beach. The golf course is just down the road."

"Does it come with a golf course membership?" I asked.

"Not a full membership to the country club, but reduced rates to the golf course. They do not allow rentals in the gated community, but if it is just going to be your family living there on and off, that is okay."

"I wasn't planning on renting anything we get."

We looked at some more properties that were on or near the beach.

"I know you said beachfront or near. Is in the mountains out of the question?"

"It doesn't have to be. Something private would be nice," Dawn said.

"If in the hills is okay, the prices are a lot less. I have something that just came in, not listed. I want you to look at it."

She got a handful of papers out of a drawer.

"This is bigger than you asked about but... it is an incredible buy. It is an estate with multiple buildings, and... it is nearly furnished. It is only 4 years old."

"Oh my," Dawn said when she saw the photos.

"It was designed by a local architect as an estate. It is on 15 acres and gated but has other estates around it that would make it secure. It is fully landscaped with lush plants and gardens."

It was a fabulous house. Very open, a lot of wood and windows, ocean and island views.

"It has this great pool and huge sliding doors. There are two 2-bedroom cottages on the back of the property, a big garage... all the amenities."

"James, this is an incredible house," Dawn said.

"It is. It is as nice as the other house, but more of a country-modern feel," I said.

"I am afraid of what it costs?" Dawn said.

"You will not believe it. Being in the hills, things are much cheaper."

"How much?" I asked, waiting for something high.

"You ready for this? $6,000,000, and it is furnished."

"You are kidding," Dawn replied.

"Seems cheap," I added.

"These larger estate homes in the hills sell for less because people cannot buy them to rent out. I think that if you are looking for something your family can come and stay for months at a time, this would be perfect. Six huge bedrooms in the main house and all that open space. If this was even near the beach, it would be $12,000,000 at least," Alannah said.

"Wow, nearly 5,000 square feet. All that furniture looks fabulous," Dawn said.

"It is only about 8 miles from the beach, but look at these views," Alannah said.

It was incredible. Large house, detached garage, separate cottages and other outbuildings. Huge pool in a garden.

"What do you think?" I asked Dawn

"I love it!"

"You know... with the separate cottages, we may be able to find someone to live there and take care of it," I said.

"I bet Lieke knows someone!" Dawn exclaimed.

"Alannah, tell us the particulars about other costs to keep it up?"

"There is a $1,000 a month HOA fee, and that is just for keeping all the surrounding landscape for the other 10 houses mowed and kept up. There are no HOA restrictions. The homeowner gave me the maintenance costs and taxes. Pool maintenance is about $1,200 a month. Gardner is about the same. The homeowner kept a lot of it up. Utilities are not bad since it has a solar cell system...$2,000 a month. Property taxes are $85,000 a year."

"So...$12,000 a month in other costs. About what the other house is," I said.

"Yes, but no renters," Dawn said.

"Call it $150,000 a year. Can we see it?" I asked.

"Yes. It is about 20 minutes from here. We can go see it, then I can treat you to lunch."

"Let's go!"

We went out, got into the Escalade, and headed off.

"Why is the owner selling it?" Dawn asked.

"Divorce... and that is keeping the price down about a million."

"All the other houses around it sell for $6,000,000 or more?" I asked.

"Seven or more. I have not listed this yet because it is an estate. It will sell fast, James."

We talked until we got to the gate. Alannah gave us the code for the big gate. It opened, and we drove up a long drive lined with lush plants.

"Wow..." Dawn said.

It was a fantastic house.

"Remember, it is on 15 acres."

We drove slowly and looked over the landscaped property. We pulled under a two-story portico and got out. Alannah unlocked a large wood pivot door, and we went inside.

"Oh, my god," Dawn said as she looked at the high ceilings, all the windows, and the wood. "This is fantastic, honey."

We walked around. The furnishings were perfect and expensive.

"The owner said they spent over a million furnishing it."

"It looks like it," Dawn said. "It was almost a million to furnish our house at home."

The kitchen was huge and incredible. We went in all the rooms and then upstairs to four other bedrooms. I was looking out over a deck off one. We could see other islands. In one of the other bedrooms, the deck faced the mountains.

"Incredible," I said.

"You haven't seen the master suite downstairs."

We went back downstairs and walked into the master suite. It was huge. Huge windows and a huge door to a lanai and hot tub. The view was over the ocean. The bathroom was like ours at home, huge with a huge shower. All marble. There was even a second walk-out shower in a lush tropical garden.

"Honey, this is incredible. Can we buy it?" Dawn asked.

"You think your parents would enjoy it?"

"Oh, fuck yes! It doesn't need to be on the beach!"

"We can bring them back, I guess."

"You think Linda and Rachel would want to share it?" Dawn asked.

"I am not worried about that, but I am sure they would like to stay in it with the kids!"

We toured the house and grounds for another hour.

"Alannah, I think it is sold, but let's bring the others back in the morning," I said.

"You got it!"

"This is not even a small part of year-end money!" Dawn said as she giggled.

"What is year-end money?" Alannah asked.

"Alannah, we live very well on just the interest on all the money we won in the lottery and investments. Whatever interest we do not spend during the year, we call year-end money, and if we want to splurge, that is where the money comes from."

"Oh. Okay. May I ask how much interest you get a year?"

"Over $50,000,000."

"We left and stopped at a nice place to eat and had lunch with Alannah.

"James? I don't think that house is more than about 15 miles from Lieke's farm on that side of the island," Dawn said.

"You may be right. I think it is on down that road we turned off."

"Are you talking about the new resort?" Alannah asked.

"Yes."

"It is only 12 miles. The second bedroom upstairs looks out over that side of the island."

"Hmmm..." I thought.

"That resort is going to be fantastic," Alannah said.

"A very close friend of ours is financing it. Linda Williams. We have $100,000,000 invested in it," Dawn said.

"It looks fantastic."

"Lieke's farm and family are going to benefit from it for generations to come. Linda got her lawyers to help out and make the state stop trying to tax them out of existence and prevent them from using any of the land for commercial purposes. Once she did hat, she worked out a lease from Lieke for the resort. It is costing about a billion dollars to build," I said.

"Wow. It looks like a small town."

"Linda built all of the outbuildings to support the resort and open some stores. With the cost of living here, she also built employee housing in some apartment buildings so the employees could live affordably. They decided yesterday to have a Cherokee restaurant. They will have real Indian food!"

"That is great."

After we ate, we went back to her office, picked up the photos and the keys, and then headed back to the house. Alannah said we could go see the house without her. We drove back to the beach house.

"We will need to take two cars in the morning," Dawn said.

"Take them all. Let's take everyone," I said as we walked into the house.

We saw Jeanine and Stan out by the pool.

"Anyone else back?" Dawn asked.

"Not yet," Lieke said.

We grabbed some wine, went out to the pool, and sat.

"I wonder if we could get a married couple from Lieke's family to live there and keep it secure and help take care of it," Dawn said.

"Exactly what I was thinking. One of the cottages would be perfect."

"We wouldn't expect them to take care of everything."

"No. But it would be good to have someone there all the time."

"Could be some lawn equipment in one of those buildings for them to use?" Dawn asked.

"We can look. Let's see what they would be willing to do."

"We should pay them also."

Dawn and I talked for a while. I was watching Jeanine in her thong. Stan came and sat next to us.

"What did you two do today?" He asked.

"Looked at a house we may buy," I said.

"Another one!"

"One for family to come in and live for months at a time if they want or when they retire."

"That would be nice..."

My parents came in a little later with Winter. They all came outside. Winter told us about everything they saw and the big beach they went to.

"Don't make any plans for the morning," I told my mom and dad.

"Why?" Mom asked.

"We are going to look at a house."

"Why?"

"I think we will buy another house for family to come and stay for long periods of time if they want to or when they retire."

"Oh. Nothing like this!"

"Nothing like this..."

We told Dawn's parents the same thing. They were all asking us about the house we looked at. We just told them it was nothing like this one.

After we ate dinner, I was in the kitchen helping Lieke. I asked her if she knew about the house up on that hill.

"Oh, my god, yes! Those are fabulous! A few cousins work in some as housekeepers and gardeners."

"We are thinking about buying one up there for our family to come and stay for longer periods of time, or after they retire."

"James! Those houses are huge!"

"Don't say anything. We will take everyone to see the one we are looking at in the morning. But... I have something for you to think about. There is a 2-bedroom cottage on the property. Since there will not be someone there all the time, I want you to think about something. Since it is just 12 miles from your farm, what would you think about a married couple in your family living on the property? They would have the cottage and run of the house, obviously. Maybe help keep it up but not do all the work. It has a gardener and pool people."

"You mean it!"

"If you know a couple who would be open to it. We can discuss paying them also. I think it would be good for security."

"Is the cottage big enough for three? I know a perfect couple with a young son."

"Yes. It is really a 2-bedroom small house. They would have the pool and the entire house when no one is there."

"Oh, James. I know the perfect couple! If you are serious!"

"If we buy it, I'll let you help us work that out."

"Sure!"

"Don't say anything today."

*****

Dawn and I went to bed early. Samantha and Amy came in a little later. Amy climbed on top of me.

"I know we have to go home soon, but I hate it," Amy said.

She sat and got my cock hard after Dawn, and I had already had sex. She slid down on it and went to work slowly.

"You are a little pink," I said.

"I'll survive..."

"What would you two think about us buying another house here? One that our families could stay in for longer periods of time?" Dawn asked.

"Not another one like this one!" Samantha exclaimed.

"Nothing like this one..."

"You have already looked at one!" Amy exclaimed.

"We look at something that might work this morning. It is not on the beach, but it has a nice view," I said.

"That would work," Amy said.

Amy smiled as she worked her pussy. Samantha sat up.

"Wait. I know you two. You did not look at something small," Samantha said.

"Oh, it is nothing like this one," Dawn said.

"Uh-huh."

Samantha pulled Dawn's legs apart and lay between them.

"How much not like this one?" Amy asked.

"It is not on a nice beach..."

"And?"

"It is probably big enough for all of us to come if we wanted to..."

"Everyone? Like now?"

"It would be tight, but I think it is big enough."

I was getting a "bullshit" look from Amy.

She took her time getting off. Dawn was moaning and coming repeatedly.

Amy and Samantha swapped. Amy sat on Dawn's mouth.

"You two are not telling us something," Samantha said.

"We just thought a nice house would be great for family to come to stay for a long time. Our parents may retire soon," I said.

"Uh, huh. Plenty big?"

"Probably..."

"Are you splitting it with Linda?"

"It's not that big, honey, but they can stay there, too."

"Uh, huh..."

I reached up and took her tits in my hands. I knew she didn't believe me.

"Does it have a pool?"

"Every house in Hawaii has a pool. A small one."

Samantha kept looking at me. She and her sister knew better.

Dawn worked harder so Amy would drop it. I grabbed Samantha's ass and worked her on my cock. After everyone got off, we turned off the lights.

"You two are not telling the truth," Samantha said as I held her.

"Go to sleep."

*****

Samantha woke me up by climbing on my morning hard-on.

"You can't get up until you tell me the truth."

"You will be there all day."

"Make him tell us," Amy said.

I heard Dawn giggle.

"You are in on it too!" Amy said, pulled the sheet off Dawn, and lay between her legs. Dawn giggled again.

Samantha went to work hard. I smiled at her as she gave me a look. Dawn came once, and Amy wouldn't stop. Samantha couldn't keep from coming.

"Tell us!" Samantha exclaimed after she came again.

"We are all going to see it this morning to see if it is big enough," I said. "If you two will finish!"

When Samantha came again, I filled her full of cum. Dawn had to make Amy stop.

"Get in the shower!" Dawn told them.

We all showered and headed downstairs. Everyone else was starting to eat breakfast.

"What do we need to wear?" Amelia asked.

"I don't care. There will only be us there," Dawn said.

"Wear your thongs! Maybe we can get a better price!" I said and laughed.

"Kids, you all go put shorts and shorts on. We are going out," Dawn said.

"Where we go!"

"We are going someplace."

After they ate, all the kids ran up to their room. The ladies all decided to wear their bikinis with wraps. I was in the bedroom with Dawn when Linda came on. Dawn was naked.

"Your parents said we were going to look at a house," Linda said.

"Charlie said something about wishing he could retire here, so I thought about buying another house so you two and family could come and stay for months if you want."

"Not one like this one?" Linda asked.

"Nothing like this one. No beach."

"Oh. That doesn't sound bad."

"Wear your thong. The skimpy one," Dawn said as she put her skimpy thong on.

"Rachel too," I said.

Linda left the bedroom.

"They will kill us," Dawn said.

"It is nothing like this house!" Dawn laughed.

We went downstairs. All the ladies had wraps for their thongs.

"Lieke, you and Hanna come," I said.

We went out and loaded up nearly all the cars.

"You remember how to get there?" Dawn asked.

"Not really, but we have a GPS," I replied.

The caravan left. I made sure everyone kept up. Stan and Jeanine were even coming. Amy and Samantha were in the back seat of the convertible we were driving.

It took about 20 minutes to get there.

"Isn't this the road to Lieke's farm?" Amy asked.

"Yes. It is just 12 miles down the road from the house, so family can run down to the resort," Dawn said.

I turned off the road that went about a mile further up into the hills.

"Oh, it is in the mountains," Samantha said.

"It is a pretty good view," I added. "The nice houses on the beach were too expensive for this," Dawn said... and giggled.

"Dawn!" Samantha exclaimed.

I finally pulled up to the gate.

"A big gate!" Amy exclaimed.

"It is a gated community..." I said and got out.

I punched in the code for the gate and waved everyone through.

"It is at the end of the end of the drive," I told them as they drove by with the windows down.

I got back in, and we headed up the drive... through the lush plants.

"I think you two are going to be in trouble!" Samantha said.

"Pretty!" Rose exclaimed at all the lush green plants.

We pulled up at the front of the house.

"Please tell me it is a big apartment in this place!" Amy said.

Everyone got out.

"I thought you said it wasn't as big as the other house!" Linda exclaimed.

"I said it was nothing like the other house," Dawn said.

Dawn unlocked the big wooden pivot door and motioned for everyone to go inside. I went in last. All I heard was, "Oh, my god."

"You are kidding... right?" My mom asked.

"We got a good buy. We hope it is big enough... in case everyone comes at the same time," I said.

"How many bedrooms?" My dad asked.

"In this house... six. There are two cottages with two bedrooms."

"Two!"

"Pretty house..." Winter said.

"Where pool?" Fire asked.

It was quiet as everyone looked around. We explained it was nearly fully furnished. Linda and Rachel pulled me to the side later.

"How much?" Linda asked.

"How much do you think?" Dawn asked.

"How much land?"

"Fifteen acres."

"Oh my. At least Ten."

"Nope," I said.

"Six," Dawn said.

"No way!"

"Allanah said it was about a million less than it should be," I said.

"At least!"

"There are 10 houses up here that are all estates and on 10 or 15-acre lots."

"This house is incredible," Rachel said.

"Come with me! You have to see the upstairs!" Dawn said and took Rachel.

"Even at $6,000,000, that is a lot for a guest house you won't be renting," Linda said.

"It was a private listing not on the market. A divorce. Getting it furnished... I thought it was a good deal."

"I would say so! You want to split it?"

"We don't have to. But you and Rachel and your clan will stay here if you want. The resort is just 12 miles down the road."

"If we stay more than a few weeks... yes... this is nice, James."

"Let me show you the master suite."

I took her to the massive master suite. She couldn't believe it, and the outdoor shower. Fire had already found the outdoor shower.

"The landscaping is incredible. What is the monthly upkeep going to be?" She asked.

"Taxes and everything... about $13,000. Dawn and I are thinking about seeing if Lieke knows a couple that would live in one of the cottages to help keep it up and for security, and we will pay them too."

"That is taxes and everything?"

"About that."

"James... if you are not going to split it with me, then I will pay half of the monthly and whatever you pay a couple to live here."

"You don't have to."

"I insist... if we are going to use it."

"Minus the one cottage, it has eight bedrooms. Is that enough if we all come?"

"Yes... even if Stan and Jeanine stay."

"Then we are going to buy it!" I said.

"You better!"

"We will need another Escalade or convertible for here..."

"I'll take care of that," Linda said.

Everyone spent two more hours walking around the estate. After I told them what it cost, they couldn't believe it. Lieke told me that the cottage was plenty big. All the kids were running around in the garden surrounding the pool.

"This our house?" Rose asked.

"We are thinking about buying it."

"Cool! Like pool!"

"We will need to find what furniture the owner is taking, then have someone come and furnish anything we need," Dawn said.

"Oh, I think Charlie, Amelia, and I could do that for you!" Ann said, laughing.

"You have the job then!" I told her.

"We will not be renting this house out, so anyone can come at any time. We are talking to Lieke about a couple she knows coming to live in one of the cottages," Dawn said.

"That would be good," My dad said.

"And once you and Dawn's parents retire, you can stay as long as you want."

We all left a little after noon, stopped, and had a big lunch. After that, Dawn and the girls went with me to Alannah's office.

"What did you decide?" Alannah asked when we walked in.

"We will take it!" Dawn exclaimed.

"Wonderful. I had a feeling that house would be perfect for all of you. I just got it the day before you called."

Some of the men in her office were checking out my girls in their skimpy thongs.

"Can we close on it before Saturday?" I asked.

"Yes, you can! We can do a tentative sale pending surveys and all that nonsense."

"What do you need from us?" I asked.

"If you are going to buy it, let's sit down with our attorney here and complete it all. I had the paperwork started!"

We went to a small office and sat and worked on paperwork for the house. I wrote a $6,000,000 check.

"What else do we need?" Dawn asked/

"Sign this limited power of attorney for our lawyer. It will only allow him to sign off on the surveys and that stuff. You have a copy of all the paperwork, and I will send the rest once it is all signed off. Here are the keys. Are you going back before you leave?"

"We will all probably go back and break it in by having sex!" Samantha exclaimed.

"Sounds like... fun," Alannah said.

"Alannah, can you take care of the maintenance like the other house and set all that up for us?" I asked.

"Of course."

"Can you use the other bank account for it also?"

"Yes. You signed another piece of paper for me to make withdrawals for that address."

"We may end up with someone living in one of the cottages for security. If they can help with upkeep, work it out with them. Lieke may know someone."

"That wouldn't be a bad idea," Alannah said.

We gathered up everything and left.

"That is an incredible house," Amy said.

"I wasn't kidding. Leave the kids and all of us go and run around in it naked!" Samantha said.

"And fuck!" Dawn added.

"Oh yes!"

Once we were back at the beach house, everyone wanted to talk about the house. The kids were asking how far away the beach was.

*****

Wednesday morning, we were up early to have sex. Samantha had climbed on me first, as usual. She took her time until she got what she needed.

"Thank you, everyone..." she moaned. "This has been a great break I needed."

"You are welcome, honey," Dawn said.

She rolled off me, and Dawn kissed her way down between her legs. I lay and watched as she and Amy made tender love to a sister and wife.

I got off the bed and spread Dawn's legs as she lay between her wife's legs. I lay on her and slid my cock into her pussy from behind.

"Emmmmmmmmm."

I slowly worked my cock in Dawn as I kissed her on the shoulders.

Amy sat up and straddled her sister's mouth. All of my wives were happy.

Dawn and I came together after a long time. Samantha was spent when Dawn moved off her pussy. Dawn rolled onto her back, and I moved between her legs and placed my mouth over her cum filled pussy.

"Ohhhhhhhhhh... yeeeeesssssss..."

Dawn lay there and savored my tongue in her pussy as she moaned for a few minutes. Then she tensed up and jerked over and over.

"Yes, yes, yes... thank you, husband."

I kissed my way up to Dawn's mouth, and we kissed for a while.

I looked over and saw Amy lying next to her sister, holding her. I moved over to Amy and pulled her legs apart as she smiled at me. I got on my knees and lifted her hips and slid my cock into her.

"Oh!!"

She smiled at me as I held her up and began working my cock slowly in her pussy. Dawn held Samantha as they watched us for a long time. Amy always got the giggles when I would fuck her like this. Dawn and Samantha got the giggles. I fucked Amy harder.

"Oh god!!" Amy cried out.

I fucked her hard for a long time as she came repeatedly.

"What do you want, honey?" I asked.

"You know what I want!"

I drove into her hard until we both started coming. I pumped her pussy full of cum as she screamed. I lowered her hips down and moved to kiss her mouth.

"Can I?" She asked.

"You know you can, honey."

Dawn and Samantha moved because they knew what Amy wanted. I lay on my back next to Amy because she always wanted to sit on my mouth for me to eat her after I came in her. She quickly moved over my mouth. I licked her a few times, then pulled her down and slid my tongue into her.

"Oh... my god!!!"

I would have to hold Amy when she jerked through massive orgasms when I ate her like this after coming in her. She would scream, and jerk, then gush. The scream and jerk, then gush again.

"Oh, fuck yes!!!"

She shook for a long time as she came. After she would do that, she would collapse back onto me. She lay there gasping for air.

I slid my fingers in Amy's pussy, and she jumped.

"James... honey... how do you manage to come three or four times?" Amy asked.

"Because that is what you three hot and sexy ladies need."

"You're right!"

A bit later, Amy sat up on my chest.

"You need to do your mom," Amy said.

"Your dad still doesn't eat her enough after he comes in her," Dawn said.

"And your mom loves that," Samantha said.

Dawn got off the bed and grabbed a robe.

"I'll be right back," Dawn said and hurried out of the bedroom.

"She is going to get your mom," Amy said.

"I am sure she is."

Amy moved off me. Dawn came back with my mom a few minutes later. She was wearing her thong.

"We were wondering where you three were... but we heard the screaming," Mom said.

"We thought it was your turn!" Amy said.

Dawn started pulling off my mom's bikini.

Mom smiled at me, got on the bed, and straddled my head.

"Sue... thanks for letting us watch," Dawn said.

I pulled my mom down onto my mouth. She winked at me.

Dawn straddled my legs behind my mom and wrapped her arms around her to hold her.

I took my time and slowly pleased my mother over and over as Dawn helped. Mom had five or six nice orgasms as she would gush in my mouth.

"I don't understand how you help... Dawn... but I love it," my mom said.

Dawn used her fingers to spread my mom's pussy lips apart. I eased her back some and slowly licked all that gorgeous flesh.

"Oh my. I wish your father enjoyed that as much as you do."

"Do you tell him how much you enjoy it, Sue?" Samantha asked.

"Of course, but... James just loves doing that so much... and I can feel it."

"You better," I heard Dawn say.

I felt my mom's energy change.

"Oh... Dawn..." Mom moaned.

"Just feel him," Dawn said.

"I do..."

When we had a chance, Dawn would still hold my mom and open up her energies to feel mine while I was making love to her. Mom would often cry when we did this.

I licked slowly for a long time as I felt my energy flow through my mom. She finally tensed up and jerked hard.

"Oh, my god!!"

She came in a huge orgasm.

"Oh fuck!"

I kissed her skin.

"Move back now," Dawn said.

I helped my mom move back and slide down on my cock and sit. Dawn wrapped her arms around her again and held her tight.

My mom wasn't the only person who enjoyed Dawn helping her. When Dawn did this, my energy merged with my mom's more like it did with Dawn. I would put my hands on her tits and hold them as I closed my eyes and felt. I would get lost in all the energy I would feel. But this time was different... very different.

A lot had changed with my wives' energies after the kids came. They were all stronger. It had been a few years since we did this with my mom, but this time... it was completely different.

"Dawn..." I heard my mom moan.

I was deep into absorbing all of my mom's energies... but this time... I could feel Dawn deeply with all of the love energy flowing. It was incredible. I just lay there and felt it all as my mom slowly worked her pussy. I had no idea how long it had been.

"Oh my!" I heard my mom exclaim. Then I felt it.

I knew that Amy and Samantha were also touching my mom now. All of the combined energy was fantastic, and I knew my mom was feeling something incredible. I opened my eyes to look, and my mom had her eyes closed as she just sat.

Dawn was looking over her shoulder at me and winked. I saw that Amy and Samantha each had a hand on one of my mom's legs. The two of them had their eyes closed.

"Honey... she will feel what we feel when we make quiet love..." I heard Dawn say in my head.

I knew then that they were going to take my mom to the place, and that level the three of them experienced when one of them would sit quietly in my lap for a long time.

My mom was sitting motionless as she absorbed... I wasn't sure what she was absorbing, but it felt very familiar. I wasn't sure about Dawn, or the three of them pushing my mom to that level. I closed my eyes and felt. They were not pushing her energies. They were opening her up to feel what they felt from me when they would do this. I could not believe they were able to do this.

Just like with Dawn, I could see and feel my energy mixed with my mom's as it flowed through us. It slowly built and built until we were taken away to another level of existence, just like it was with Dawn when we really got into it. My mom's loving energy consumed me, and I knew she was consumed by mine. Time stopped passing.

I knew the two of us were going to explode, as I did with my wives. I just felt where the energy flowed between us, where we touched, and let it build and build.

"I love you, son," I heard in my head.

Heard... or felt Mom's deep moan. I was used to this happening. It grew and grew as our energy grew brighter inside of us. I waited because I knew I would hear Dawn in my head say "Now."

It grew and grew. I was more overcome with all of it than I had been with my wives in a long time. I knew we were both about to explode in love and pleasure.

I began to feel my mom quivering like Dawn would before she let us go. The sensation grew and grew.

"Now..."

I just let go...

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!" I heard Mom screaming... or both of us screaming.

We were beyond the feelings of the physical orgasms we were having, but I felt my mom explode in pleasure as I did. My body was trying to thrust up into her as I came over and over and over.

I felt my mom collapse onto me, and I managed to get my arms around her as we both kept coming. Our energies were bursting within us.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!" We screamed, and I saw a flash of light within us.

I finally managed to open my eyes. My mom was lying on top of me. I could feel we were both filled with incredible love energy.

"Oh... my... god..." I heard Mom moan.

She managed to slowly lift her head and look at me, then she slowly pushed herself up some.

"Dawn... what did you do?" Mom asked.

We looked around. Dawn, Amy, and Samantha were nowhere to be seen.

"What did she do to us, son?"

"That may take some time to explain. Dawn?"

Nothing.

Mom began kissing me.

"I love you so much," she said.

"I love you so much too."

"What was that? Oh my god... incredible."

Mom smiled at me and kissed me again.

She finally rolled off me. We could see the room now, and they were gone.

"When did they leave?" Mom asked.

"That may depend on what time it is."

I turned my head to find the clock. It was past 2:00.

"Oh, my god. Mom... what time did you come up here?"

"About 10:00."

I rolled to my mom and kissed her. I started kissing my way down to her tits and then down her stomach to her mound.

"Oh god, son! If you do that... I will pass out!"

"That's okay... but try not to..."

I pulled her legs apart and moved between them and placed my mouth over her pussy.

"Oh no...."

Mom didn't scream. She tensed up and jerked several times and came hard. A few minutes later, she did that again, then a few minutes later, once again.

I kissed my way up her body and kissed her lips, then lay next to her. She hadn't passed out.

It was quiet for a while.

"Son... what happened?"

I lay there and tried to explain to my mom what had happened. I told her about the early days when Dawn and I would do that. I explained about how our energies would merge and would explode like that. I told her how our combined love energies would merge and react with great pleasure.

"Did Dawn make that happen?" She asked.

"She can't make that happen. She can only open up our energies so that it happens between us. Beyond that, Mom... we will have to talk to her."

"Is that how you two feel when you make love?"

"What happened is something that only happens when we take the time like that to have it happen. It took Dawn and me over a year to teach Amy and Samantha how to make that happen. It is just when two of us are together..."

"But Dawn made it happen..."

"Mom... Dawn has changed so much since she had the kids. Her abilities with her energies have multiplied at least 10-fold... or more. I think... she knew... she could open your energies up, and mine... to connect, as I do with her and the girls. When we do that... it is very special..."

"It was..."

"We don't do that every time we make love, but often... when we need to connect with each other."

"Honey... was what I felt inside of me my... energies?"

"Yes, and no. What we both felt were each other's energies. Doing that, they grow and merge and really become our energy... or one energy. It fills us both until we cannot take any more love... then it bursts out in pure love and pleasure."

"That it did. I think for the first time I now understand the connection you and Dawn have."

"All of my girls now."

"Even Linda?"

"Yes."

"I didn't know that love could be felt as a form of energy."

"It is, and it isn't, Mom. We just call it an energy because there is no other way we can define it. It is really an extremely amplified form of the emotion of love... I guess."

He heard the door open, and Dawn came in wearing her robe. Mom reached for her and took her hand.

"Thank you," Mom said.

Dawn sat next to her on the edge of the bed. Mom pulled her down and kissed her.

"Honey?" I said.

"I am not sure how... or why," Dawn said. "Well, I understand the why... the how I am working on."

"When you have tried something like this before... it has opened up the other person's abilities to feel... more..." I said.

"I know. I forgot about that part."

"What are you saying?" Mom asked.

"Sue... I wanted you to experience James' love on the level I do. I have never done that before to a normal person. I was reaching inside of you so you could feel more... but... something happened... and I needed to follow through with it."

"What happened, honey?" I asked.

"It was so easy for me to allow her to feel your energies. You know I have done things like that before. But... it was too easy this time, and before I realized what was happening... I had connected you two on our level of feeling, honey. Then Amy and Sam needed to feel it, and they touched her. I think their energies on top of mine... did something."

"What?" I asked.

"Not sure..."

"That is not good."

"Nothing bad... but... once it happened... I knew you two could connect as we do. I stopped... but it continued."

"Because the three of you were helping?"

"Not after I stopped. It was just you two and your energy. I got us away from it because I realized it was too strong of a connection. But you know... I cannot interrupt a connection like that... without consequences."

"I know," I said.

"We left. I didn't know if it would fade away or... grow. It grew. I felt it downstairs. I even went outside to make sure I wasn't adding to it."

"Dawn... what happened?" Mom asked.

"Sue... you got to experience the level of love and pleasure that James does more with me than even Amy and Sam."

"It was wonderful. Is that all?"

"I'm not sure. I need to... explore your energies, Sue."

"Okay."

I turned to look at Dawn. I could see it on her face, and even feel it, that she was very concerned.

"Are you okay if I do it now?"

"Sure," Mom said.

I watched as Dawn took my mom's hand in hers and closed her eyes. The two of them were quiet for about ten minutes as I watched. Then Dawn stopped, released my mom's hand, and sat.

My mom looked at Dawn and knew she was troubled.

"What, Dawn?" Mom asked.

"How do you feel, Sue?"

"Very peaceful and full of love. Full of our love."

Mom slowly sat up on the bed, and so did I.

"What is it, honey?" I asked.

"James... you know I have been able to open up another person's ability to feel some."

"Yes..."

"When things began happening with your mom, I was thinking about how I needed to help Linda and Rachel be able to feel each other more when they make love. I just wanted to see if I could do that with your mom for this one time."

"And you did..."

"What I did... with your mom... it may be permanent."

"What do you mean?" Mom asked.

"You and James, all your children, have always been aware of each other's feelings on a small level. The things James has told me, and I have felt between you... I knew all of you had some small energy connection. Not sure where it came from, but it happens in families. Before... I have helped others in a small way be more in touch with someone they love."

"That is a good thing," Mom said.

"Yes, but... it was only at a low level. You may now be able to feel people on a higher level now, Sue."

"That is okay."

"Maybe not. If it is at too high a level... it can be overwhelming for you. I have spent my whole life learning to control, filter, and manage that kind of input. It can be overwhelming."

"Can you turn it off... or dial it back down?" I asked.

"Don't know."

"I don't feel that happening, you two," Mom said.

"Yet..." Dawn said.

Dawn sat quietly for a minute.

"We will just need to wait and see... and I need to talk to some people," Dawn said.

"What could happen?" Mom asked.

"Sue... if you start feeling overwhelmed by someone else's feelings, or your own, tell James first. He can draw off some of the energy. If he can't, I can. But don't wait too long and let it build. It may not happen at all, but I need you to be prepared for it if it does."

"Okay."

We sat for a minute.

"I am going to shower," Mom said and headed to the bathroom.

"Keep an eye on her," Dawn said.

"I will."

I got up and went and joined my mom in the shower.

"Dawn is worried," Mom said when I stepped in behind her.

"She is. Let me know if you feel anything odd."

"I feel okay. I don't think it is going to be a problem, son."

We soaped each other up for a few minutes. I was rubbing her tits when she grabbed my cock and giggled. A few minutes later, she was leaning over with her hands on the marble walls as I worked my cock in her pussy from behind.

"Oh, yes, son. That feels so good!"

I held her hips and kept working my cock in her. I could feel all of her arousal.

"Yes, yes, yes. Do it!"

I felt her energies strongly because I knew she was turned on.

"Oh yes, that is so good! More!"

I concentrated. I had been able to feel her more the last few years, but now, I felt her easily.

I held her hips as the water ran over us and fucked her for a long time as she moaned.

"Oh fuck! I am coming, son! Keep going!"

I held her tight as she had a nice orgasm and kept working my cock in her.

She kept moaning as I thrust into her. She came several more times.

"Oh! That is fantastic! Do my ass! Fuck my ass, son!"

I was caught up in it and slid my cock from her pussy and slid it into her ass.

"Oh yes! Yes!! Do my ass!!"

She felt great. I could feel her arousal energies, and she was turned on. I fucked her ass for a long time until we both had a huge orgasm.

I wrapped my arms around her, pulled her up, and held her.

"Oh, that was wonderful," she said and reached behind her and grabbed my cock.

My cock was still hard like it always was after doing a woman's ass.

Mom stroked it for a few minutes as I rubbed her tits, then she turned and kissed me and went to her knees. She gave me an incredible blowjob for a long time before she stood.

"Mom? What is happening?"

"I just feel all of your love for me, son. It is like pure love is coming from you."

"I always love you, Mom."

"But... I feel it coming from you so much."

I wrapped my arms around her and held her as I explored her energies. They were amplified, but nothing huge. It could have been from the sex we had earlier.

We finished in the shower and got out and dried off.

"You okay?" I asked.

"Yes, son. That was special. Thank you."

"Okay."

We left the bathroom. She put her bikini back on, and I grabbed some shorts.

"I am starved," Mom said.

"Me too."

We went downstairs and to the kitchen. We were making some sandwiches. Samantha came to me.

"What is wrong with Dawn?" She asked.

"What?"

"She came down and didn't say anything and went down to the beach by herself."

"I think she needs to think."

"Honey... what happened between you and your mom?" Samantha asked and put her hand on my arm.

"You don't need to worry like that," I said.

"Like what?" Samantha asked.

"You are worried about Dawn. Things are okay, honey."

"Well... okay... but I was concerned about your mom."

"She is fine. We can talk about it later."

"Okay."

I took my sandwich and a beer and went outside to sit. I was thinking as I ate my sandwich.

Linda sat next to me at the table. I looked over at her in the skimpy thong.

"I called the people about the chalet. We got it for 1.9 million," she said.

"That's good."

"Can you all go with me one day and close on it next week?"

"I am sure we can."

"We will be back in town by Tuesday night. I will see when I can fly there. They will meet us at the chalet. If you and Dawn can go, we can get that taken care of quickly."

"Good."

"This has been a great trip," she said and wrapped her arm around me.

"It has. I think we all needed it."

Linda leaned into me and kissed my cheek, then I felt her run her hand up the leg of my shorts.

"It has been very relaxing. You have made me very relaxed," she said and grabbed my cock. "Rachel and I had a pleasant morning, thanks to Sylvia and Hileah. But we missed you. It made us hornier hearing all of your ladies getting off."

I looked at her, and she kissed me.

"You need to take Rachel and me down to the beach tonight," she said as she squeezed my cock. "I am still horny after listening to you all this morning."

She had her hand wrapped around my cock and was squeezing it. I put my arm around her.

"Emmmmm... I may not be able to wait until tonight," she said.

"I'll get you two down there before sunset and take your pictures."

"Then we can fuck. I need this in me!"

"I'll see what I can do."

"Good."

I could feel that Linda was horny.

"I am going to walk down to the beach. I think Dawn went down there," I told Linda.

"I'll walk with you..."

We got up and walked down the path to the beach. No one was down there, and I didn't see Dawn.

"I thought she came down here..."

"Walk with me," Linda said.

She took my hand, and we started walking down the beach toward the big rocks.

By the time we got to the rocks, five minutes later, Linda had her arm around me as she guided me over to a big rock. She sat down on it.

"Do me... right now," she said as she began taking off her thong.

Once she was naked, she pulled my shorts down and grabbed my cock and stroked it.

"Damn... I am horny," she said.

She stroked my cock for a minute, then stood and leaned over and put her hands on the rock. She looked good in the sun. I worked my cock into her pussy as she moaned.

"Emmm. Fuck me, James. Fuck me hard!"

I held her hips and fucked her hard. She screamed through 3 or 4 orgasms before I filled her full of cum on another one.

"On my god, that felt good! You feel good, James!"

"Glad you enjoyed it!"

"Oh, I did! I can feel you did too!"

"I did. I am happy you are being spontaneous again."

"I am just so horny today!"

She smiled at me as she sat on the rock and stroked my slick cock.

"Get hard for me again!"

I laughed at Linda as she worked to get me hard again. She had me hard again easily. She stood and leaned over again.

"Do my ass now!"

I laughed because Linda had to be very horny to ask me to do her ass. I slid into her tight ass and felt for her energies. I could feel she was very horny.

"Fuck my ass! Fuck it hard!"

I held her hips as I looked at her gorgeous body and worked my cock in her ass hard and fast.

"Oh my god! You have made me so horny!! Fuck my ass hard!! Fuck my ass, James!!"

Linda was horny, and that was fine with me. I fucked her ass hard as she screamed through multiple orgasms.

"Oh fuck!! I can't get enough of your cock!! Fuck my ass!!!"

I kept going. She was screaming. I felt her legs shaking, and so were mine.

"Come in my ass!!!"

She began jerking, and I jammed my cock into her and let go.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!" We screamed.

She jerked as I pumped cum into her ass.

We both nearly collapsed. We sat down on the sand.

"Oh, that was good. I needed that," Linda said.

I put my arm around her, leaned over, and kissed her.

"I like the little tan you have now."

"I can sunbathe naked at the house!"

After we rinsed off in the water and put our clothes back on, we walked back to the house. I still had not seen Dawn.

*****

Dawn came back into the house later and got some wine. She sat next to me on the sofa.

"You okay?"

"Yeah... just thinking. Something is not right," she said.

"What?"

"I shouldn't have been able to turn that on like that in your mom."

"We don't know if you did."

"That is what I am trying to figure out."

I put my arm around Dawn as she sipped her wine.

"You are still full of energy from that," Dawn said to me quietly.

"It was incredible, honey. Thank you."

"Okay..."

About 4:00, we all sat down and decided what we wanted to do for the rest of the trip. Linda brought Rachel a glass of wine and sat with her.

"Hey, my crew," Linda said. All the kids turned to look at her.

"Sarah, Junior, and Elizabeth. I made Rachel a promise a few years back, and I forgot about it. I remembered it after seeing her and all of you playing with the cats. I had told Rachel we would get her a cat..."

"We get a cat!" Sarah exclaimed.

"Rachel, honey, I told you we would, and I got busy and forgot. You should have reminded me. If you still want to get a cat, we will when we get back... okay."

Rachel smiled.

"Are you sure?" Rachel asked.

"Yes. Claire reminded me that I said we would when she got David. I'm sorry I forgot. You still want a big Maine Coon?"

"Yes! I want a pure breed!"

"Okay. When we get back, we will find you a cat, honey."

"Thanks, Linda!"

"No problem. You should have held me to what I said even if I got busy. Don't let me forget things like that."

"Mama Linda. You have to get two... so they have a buddy," Chaske explained.

"Sounds like a good idea, Chaske," Linda said. "When we get back, we will go by the shelter. If they don't have any more Maine Coons, go online and find two you want from a breeder, honey."

"I will!" Rachel hugged Linda.

"David! You all will have cat buddies at Mama Linda's and Mama Rachel's house!" Chaske exclaimed.

"Meow! Mrrrf! Mrrrrr!! Eeeeerrrmrrf! Mrrf! Mrrrrrrf Owwww!!"

"What did he say!" Rachel asked as she laughed.

"He said it is about time!" Chaske said, and we all laughed.

"We gonna get a kitty!" Sarah exclaimed.

"We will get two kitties?" Elizabeth asked.

"We will find two we all want," Rachel added.

Later, Lieke and Hanna made us a great dinner of local fish and vegetables. The cats enjoyed the fish. David also enjoyed the squash.

After we ate dinner, most of the kids were napping. Sarah, Junior, and Elizabeth were gathered around Rachel on the sofa. She had her laptop. I finished in the kitchen, grabbed a beer, and went to see what they were looking at.

"That one pretty!" Sarah said.

Rachel was online looking at Maine Coons. They were looking at a pretty gray-and-white furry kitten.

"That little male Maine Coon is a pretty gray and white," Rachel said.

"Get that one, Mom."

I watched them scroll through pictures of kittens.

"Shopping?" I asked.

"Just looking at a breeder in North Carolina. I have always wanted a huge pure breed Maine. This breeder specializes in large ones with European bloodlines. Look at this one."

"Oh, my god! That can't be a real cat!" I exclaimed.

"All 30 pounds of him! That is the gray and white one's daddy."

"David only weighs about 20 pounds, and he is huge! It has a mane around its neck!"

"They specialize in large ones. These large ones have that mane of fur because they are all long-haired ones. It is gorgeous. The gray and white one's mother is a huge Calico Tortie... here is a picture of her."

She showed me a picture of a large Calico Maine Coon.

"That is a big cat also. Do all their cats get that big?"

"There is no guarantee they will be that big, but they specialize in the big ones. But one that gets over 22 pounds or so is an exception. There is a pretty Tortie from the same litter. It is mostly black and orange. I am looking at it."

She pulled up another photo.

"That is a pretty little kitten... and furry."

"All of their kittens are the really long-haired furry type," Rachel said.

"They look like older kittens."

"They will not release kittens until they are 4 months old. They take that time to make sure they are healthy and socialize them."

"You want a pure breed then?" I asked.

"I have always wanted a pure breed Maine. They are so pretty... and big."

"If they are pure breeds, are you going to breed them?"

"Oh, no. When breeders sell kittens, if they are not show kittens, you have to sign a contract saying you will have them spayed or neutered between 7 and 9 months old."

"What do purebred Maines usually cost?" I asked.

"These exceptional large ones start about 15k minimum for ones available to breed."

"Damn!"

"Ones they sell for breeding are very high. This beautiful gray and white male kitten is 4k. The rare Calico Tortie kitten I showed you is 5K. Calicos that are sold to breed start about 18k."

"Wow."

"Mom? You going to get those two kitties?" Elizabeth asked.

"I have to talk to Linda... and these kitties are very special, and I have to tell the people that are selling them how much we want them and how nice we are and are going to love them."

"We will!" They all exclaimed.

"You don't have to ask me, honey," Linda said as she walked in. "Get what the four of you want."

"Linda... these kittens are thousands..."

"I don't care. You get two that you all like."

"This breeder is in North Carolina. They specialize in the large ones. These two just turned 4 months old and are ready to release. I am not sure they are still available."

"Find out. Find out what we need to do to convince them they will have a loving home."

"Okay!"

"Call them," Linda said.

"It is late there, but I will try."

Rachel got out her phone and called the breeder in North Carolina. When they answered, she apologized for it being late there. After a few minutes, it sounded like both kittens were available. Rachel told them about her family and the kids, how much they wanted a Maine Coon because they knew other kids who had some from the local shelter, and how much she had always wanted a purebred large Maine Coon. She didn't mention Linda's name but explained to the people that she had a large house, three children, and a wife. She was on the phone for nearly an hour answering questions.

"My family is in Hawaii right now. We will be returning home this coming weekend. We are flying on a private jet and can stop over in Charleston to see the kittens. We are here with some close friends, and they brought their four cats to Hawaii for their vacation with all their kids and us. Three of them are Maine mixes from the shelter at home............. yes, it is a private jet, and they will fly inside with us... we can do that."

Rachel talked and listened for ten more minutes.

"That is not a problem. You can email me your bank information, and we can send the deposit tonight. Yes, we can stop in Charleston on Sunday, stay overnight, and come by Monday. If everything works out, can we pick up the kittens then? Great! That would be perfect! Thank you!"

When she got off the phone, she was very happy, and the kids were bouncing up and down.

"We get kitties!" Sarah exclaimed.

"Is one a boy?" Junior asked.

"Yes, the gray and white one there," Rachel said. "All Calicos and Torties are girls."

"That black and orange one is pretty!" Elizabeth said.

"She is a Tortoiseshell Calico."

"Meow!! Meow!!" Came from David.

Colors and Smoke were chattering.

"You guys will have another brother and sister," Amy told the cats.

"Mrrrrf... rrrfff... meee... meeerrr... rrrrrfff..." Came from Silver.

"Chaske? What did Silver say?"

"He said he was happy everyone had a cat now."

"The lady said if we were happy with those two, we could leave with them. She was very happy I wanted both of those because they were very close to each other," Rachel said. "I told her we would have four more on the jet!"

"Are those the two you want, honey?" Linda asked.

"Yes!"

"Did you have a Maine Coon when you were young?" Samantha asked.

"Yes. My parents had one. I have always wanted one."

"We will have 5 of them now!" I added.

"Mrrrfff!!" Came from Silver.

"You too!" I said to Silver.

Rachel was very happy and kept asking Linda if it was okay to spend that much money on cats.

"Are you three going to help me take care of our new kitties?" Rachel asked.

"Yes, Mom! Sure, Mom! We help!"

"I hope you do. Having two kitties means we have to feed them, take care of them, and play with them."

"Will they be big like David?"

"Oh, yes! And they need to be brushed every day because of the long fur they have."

"We brush David!" Sarah said.

"And now you can brush Smoke and Silver," Dawn added.

"Mrrrff!" Came from Silver.

"Silver doesn't like to be brushed," Chaske said.

"Do they have the kittens they sell checked for everything?" I asked.

"Oh, yes. They run genetic testing on them and check their heart and hips. The expensive test adds to the expense of the kittens. Pure breeds can have heart and hip problems," Rachel said. "The kittens are guaranteed."

"That's good."

"Linda... I didn't ask you, but can we fly to Charleston first and stay until Monday?"

"Of course, honey. Get us a room. Claire? You okay going with us?"

"Sure. I know David and Colors will be okay with it too!"

"Mrrrf!!" Came from Smoke.

"You two also!"

"Kids... be thinking of names," Rachel said.

"The gray and white kitty looks like snow," Sarah said.

"He is a boy, so I don't know if we can call him Snow. We may need to see the girl kitty to come up with a name for her."

"We could call him Snowman," Junior said.

The kids talked about cats for a while. Rachel got back on her laptop to transfer the deposit for the kittens and fill out some paperwork.

*****

Rachel led all of the kids up to bed since they wanted to talk about kittens. She didn't come back down until about 9:30.

"All they want to do now is talk about kittens. I left all of them in one bed," Rachel said.

"We can check on them when we go to bed," Dawn said.

"Are all of you still okay with the boys and girls sleeping together?" Rachel asked.

"Of course. Why would we have a problem with that?" I asked.

"At this age, I don't guess it is a problem."

"Rachel... I have a feeling they will be sleeping together for years to come," Dawn said.

"They have two bedrooms, but usually sleep together now," I added.

"They all sleep in one bed at our house," Linda said.

"Are you two going to have a problem with that as they get older?" Samantha asked Rachel.

"I don't guess so... if it does not become an issue," Linda replied.

"I don't really see that becoming a boy-girl issue with these seven," Dawn said.

"What about when they get older?" Amy asked.

"I think... they will have guidance when they are old enough before it will be an issue," Dawn said.

"From us?" Linda asked.

"Let's just wait and see. I am sure they are getting a lot of guidance now."

"Dawn... you mentioned all the kids spending a month or so on the reservation this fall. Is that something that we... they need to do?"

"I think since they were not there this summer... yes. They are growing up so fast. There are things they need to be learning. Will you two be okay with them there for all of August... or so? Hileah can go and stay with them some... Sylvia also. I feel like... they are at an age they need to be there on their own," Dawn said.

"Are you not planning on going too?"

"Yes... but. I think we need to see how they will do without all of us being there to take care of them and hover over them."

"What are your thoughts on that?" Rachel asked.

"I think that one or two of us could go and stay no longer than a week at a time. We can coordinate with others from the tribe to watch over them. Even Enolia, since she lives at the big house now. I feel it is time for them to experience some independence so we can judge how well they can handle that. Once I was four, I stayed with my Great-grandparents all summer."

"But they are too old to be trying to watch over seven kids."

"True, but with Enolia, Hileah, and one of us there on and off... it will help them learn to be self-sufficient," Dawn said.

"Rachel, honey... how does that sound to you?" Linda asked.

"If you can let me go for a few days, or a week at a time, while you are home... okay... I guess. But Dawn? I have a question? Are these suggestions coming from the Spirits?" Rachel asked.

"Yes."

"Will they help watch over the kids?"

"Of course. I think they also want to be closer to the kids for a while."

"Okay."

"I will know... if I am not there... if they need more than one of us there," Dawn assured them.

"We will have to trust you," Linda said

"We need to trust the Spirits... and the kids," I said. Dawn looked over at me for a minute.

"I think they will be okay. I can run over and stay a few days also," Ann said.

"Thanks, Mom."

"We are close if anything comes up," Charlie added.

I was happy to see Ann and Charlie being willing to help with this. I was sure Dawn was happy about it also.

Everyone sat around the den or outside until people started heading to bed at about 11:30. I was walking up the stairs with Dawn.

"Is your agreeing with me about the kids spending time alone on the reservation part of your foreknowledge?" Dawn asked.

"Common sense... since you did at that age."

Dawn put her arm around my waist as we walked down the hall to the bedroom. Once we were in the bedroom and getting undressed, Dawn stopped and looked at me.

"With all of them able to be there together... this will be a good thing for them to learn from," Dawn said.

"I think you are right, and since we will sort of start Pre-K this fall... it would be a good time to start when they come back."

"I hope Amy and Sam feel that way. They also need to be around other kids on the reservation."

"I wonder if the other kids will tease our non-Cherokee looking kids?" I thought out loud.

"Honey... that is going to happen anywhere. It may be the right time for them to learn to deal with that," Dawn said. "But... I hope anyone that does it doesn't get caught by my Great-grandparents!"

"We need to start working on the plans for this."

"We got some of them to the other bedroom," Amy said as she came in.

"Seven of them in one bed is a lot," Samantha added.

"Even in a king-size bed!"

"You two be thinking about planning for the kids to be gone for a month," Dawn said as she headed to the bathroom.

"What are your thoughts on this?" Amy asked me as she pulled her clothes off.

"The kids need this."

When Dawn came out of the bathroom and got into bed, Amy and Samantha went into the bathroom. I had to wait.

"Make sure you sit down with them to work through this," I said to Dawn.

"They need to be ready for the kids to be away from them. In another year or so, the kids will be spending long summers on the reservation."

"I know. How old were you when your parents started leaving you there for the entire summer?"

"Four, but I stayed with my Great-grandparents or others."

"I think it would be good for the kids to divide up and stay with other people... if they will be okay not being with the other kids."

"On the reservation... they won't be alone, honey."

"I guess not," I said.

"It will be a good immersion for them to be with the Spirits closer."

"You know... I don't think they have any trouble communicating with the Spirits."

"It is still different when there."

When the other two came out, I went into the bathroom to get ready for bed. When I went back and got in bed, they were all in the bed.

"Dawn... are you okay?" Samantha asked.

"Still thinking and asking..."

Dawn snuggled up next to me on one side, Samantha on the other. I turned off the lamp.

"Emmmm... you feel good," Samantha said as she slowly rubbed my chest.

It was quiet, but Samantha slid her hand down to my cock.

"You feel... good..." Samantha said.

"He is still full of energy from earlier," Dawn said.

"Something..." She slowly played with my growing cock.

"Something... I can still feel him," Amy said from behind Dawn.

"I... overdid it a bit..." Dawn said.

"Why did you make us leave?"

"I did too much, and I had to get any added energies away from Sue."

"What happened after we left?" Amy asked.

"It was incredible. Mom is very happy about what happened," I told them.

"But... I think I turned on something in her I can't undo," Dawn said.

"What?" Amy asked.

"Not sure yet... but... I may have opened up her ability to feel things... far too much."

Samantha moved down and began sucking my cock.

"So?"

"Amy... I have warned and explained to you and Samantha that being able to suddenly feel things like that from people can be overwhelming."

"You did, but it never happened to us..."

"I am still thinking about it... and discussing it..."

"With the Spirits?" I asked.

"Yes..."

"You need to get some sleep right now," I told Dawn.

Samantha got up on her hands and knees and was working her mouth hard on my cock and moaning. Dawn reached out and rubbed her ass.

"Damn, Sam... why are you so horny?" Dawn asked.

"Don't know!" She went back to work.

Dawn kept feeling Samantha.

"Amy? How are you feeling?" Dawn asked her.

"Well... I am getting very horny watching sis now."

Dawn reached over and put her hand on Amy's leg.

"You are horny too."

"I am getting there!"

Dawn rolled to Amy, and after a few minutes, she was between Amy's legs.

"Oh my god!" Amy cried out. She came hard after just a few minutes.

In the moonlight, I saw Dawn sit up.

"Don't stop!" Amy cried out.

Samantha straddled my legs quickly and slid down on my cock and went to work. Dawn was looking at her.

"Amy... did you just start getting horny when you watched Sam?" Dawn asked.

"I got horny when I got in bed. She didn't help it. Back to work!"

"Get up here, Amy," I said, and she began to sit up.

"Hang on..." Dawn said.

Dawn put her hand on my leg for a minute.

"James... are you still that turned on from earlier?" Dawn asked.

"A little, but Mom and I went again in the shower. She was hot."

"Oh no...."

Dawn felt Samantha again.

"James... are you pushing?" Dawn asked.

"No. Just lying here."

"Amy... how strong do you feel his energy right now?"

"Not sure, but I need to get off."

"Close your eyes and feel, please."

Samantha was working her pussy harder and moaning.

"Sam... stop."

"No!"

"Sam... stop, please," Dawn said.

She sat and breathed hard.

"Are you feeling anything coming from James?"

"Yes!"

"James... dial it down for me."

"I'm not doing anything... just lying here."

"You are too. I can feel it in both of them."

"I swear... I am not doing anything."

Dawn put both of her hands on my chest and closed her eyes.

"On no!"

"What?" Amy asked Dawn.

"Honey... send me some sexual energy," Dawn said.

I closed my eyes and tried.

"Oh my god! No! No!" Dawn exclaimed.

"What?" I asked.

"Oh shit. I think I turned your abilities up massively when I did it to your mom!"

"That's okay!"

"No, it's not!"

Dawn sat up.

"Try and push Sam hard, honey."

"Good!" Came from Samantha.

I put my hands on her thighs and pushed like I usually did with them. Samantha inhaled sharply.

"Oh... my... god..." came from her.

"Sam! What did you feel?" Dawn asked.

"I'm going to come!"

"James! Stop!" Dawn yelled.

"Too late!" Samantha exclaimed and started jerking and crying out.

She finally stopped and just sat.

"Oh, my god..."

"I even felt that," Amy said.

"I did too..." Dawn mumbled.

"I didn't push that hard. I can't make one of you come that fast."

Dawn took both of my hands in hers and held them as she closed her eyes.

"Give me what you just gave Sam."

I did what I always did for a minute.

"Oh no... dial it back."

Dawn opened her eyes as she held my hands and looked at me.

"Oh boy..."

"What, honey?"

"I hope this fades away in you and your mom."

"What fades away?" I asked.

"Right now... you can push much harder than you usually can. Much, much harder."

"Great!" Samantha exclaimed.

"Honey... close your eyes and tell me what you feel coming from me?" Dawn said.

I closed my eyes and felt.

"I feel your love, but I always feel that."

"Deep down. Anything different?"

I felt for a minute.

"I can feel some of your arousal."

"A lot?"

"It is growing."

Dawn pulled her hands away.

"What?" I asked.

"That wasn't my arousal. I shut all of mine down. That was Sam's."

"I have done that before through you."

"Not when I am not touching her and not when I have dialed it down to nothing flowing through me!"

"Oh..."

We sat quietly and could hear Linda and Rachel in the other bedroom making love.

"I need you to try something, James. Close your eyes again... and reach out and feel for Rachel and Linda."

"I can't do that."

"Please, try. I have shut down all of my incoming feelings."

I closed my eyes and concentrated as I listened.

"I know they are enjoying just from listening," I said.

"Pick one of them out."

I concentrated for a minute.

"It is probably just your suggestion, but it seems I can feel Rachel's arousal."

"And she is much harder for you to feel, honey."

"It is just your power of suggestion..."

"Who is on top?"

"Linda," I answered quickly.

My eyes shot open.

"Dawn!" I exclaimed.

She closed her eyes for a moment.

"You are right, honey."

"Dawn..." Amy moaned.

"Oh my..." came from Dawn.

They were all sitting up. Samantha reached over and turned the lamp on.

"This is not so bad. You have always said he could probably do more than he does," Amy said.

"We have all changed since the kids were born," Samantha added. "Maybe he has changed."

"Not suddenly..." Dawn said.

"Dawn... is this going to go away?" I asked.

"I don't know. I am asking."

"I think it is good," Samantha said.

"Maybe... but I am concerned about his mom. Suppose I turned this level on in her. She will be overcome with emotions. James... may be able to handle it."

"Honey... if I can feel all of you better and maybe give you all more pleasure from it... that is okay. I can learn to handle it."

"You can... maybe. But your mom..."

"She didn't say anything to me this evening."

"I will have to talk to her tomorrow... but... I am still concerned about... how strong you are now... tonight."

"Maybe it will work out," I said.

"I want to test something first. Amy, take Sam, and you two go into the bathroom and close the door. And, while you two are in there... don't try to reach out to anyone... please."

"Okay... I guess."

Amy and Samantha got up and went into the bathroom.

"Can you still feel either of them?" Dawn asked.

"No... I don't guess so. Dawn, don't worry about this. It will probably go away tonight."

"Maybe. Let's try something... for fun. Linda and Rachel are still making love. This will be easier with Linda, but reach out and pull in her feelings..."

"If I can."

"I am sure you can. Once you think you are connected with her feelings... I want you to try and push her to a huge orgasm!"

"That is terrible! Do you do that to them?"

"Sometimes... for fun. You try."

"You can do that and not be in the same room with them?"

"I can lately. Try."

Dawn moved away from me.

"Just focus on Linda... so we three don't have an orgasm."

"Oh, that would be fun!" I said.

"Close your eyes and try."

I closed my eyes and listened to see if I could still hear Linda and Rachel moaning. I finally could feel Linda... I thought. Since I had said she was on top, I tried to see that.

"Rachel is lying between Linda's legs now..." I said.

"Oh my..." I heard Dawn moan. "Concentrate."

I wasn't really sure what I would feel. I could always feel Linda's love and arousal energies and could push her some... but nothing really hard... usually. I tried to feel and think like I did when she was riding me and I wanted her to come hard. The only thing I knew was to make her feel my cock rubbing her insides and passing energy to her like I always did.

"Oh no..." I thought I heard Dawn.

Oddly, I felt like I was connected to Linda. I could see her riding me and getting turned on more and more. I thought I was pushing harder as I saw her in my mind. I could see her working her pussy harder and harder. I enjoyed this for a while.

"Oh fuck!!!" I heard Linda scream in my mind as I watched her.

"Stop!!" Dawn cried out.

I opened my eyes. Then Linda burst through the door naked and stood.

"Dawn!! What the fuck are you doing!!" Linda yelled.

Rachel came in behind her and stood.

"Unfortunately... it wasn't me," Dawn said as she sat.

"Who the fuck was in my head then!!"

"You two better come sit," Dawn said. "Amy!! You two come out!"

They came from the bathroom.

"What the hell happened!" Amy said as she rubbed her pussy as she walked to the bed.

"You too?" Dawn asked.

"Yes!" Amy and Samantha exclaimed.

"Dawn? What are you up to?" Linda asked.

"We have a little problem," Dawn said.

"Maybe, but I nearly fell off the bed," Linda said. Rachel laughed.

"I thought it was me!" Rachel said, laughing.

"Linda... tell me what happened," Dawn said.

"I was deeply enjoying Rachel going down on me then... suddenly... all I could think about and feel... was when he drives me to a huge orgasm while I am riding him! Then a massive orgasm ran through me!"

Dawn was quiet.

"What is going on?" Rachel asked.

"I remember when you did that to me once, Dawn..." Linda said. "And it wasn't you?"

"No..."

"Dawn? He did that to Linda... from here?" Rachel asked.

"Yes."

"He can't do that," Linda said.

"He can tonight!"

"How?"

Dawn told her about the afternoon with my mom and what she thought had happened.

"Will it go away in them?" Linda asked.

"I hope it does in his mom. That can be too much for a normal person to deal with suddenly."

"Cool..." came from Rachel, and she giggled.

"Rachel!" Linda exclaimed.

Rachel giggled again.

"James... how do you feel?" Linda asked me.

"I really enjoyed being able to connect with you on a deeper level."

"I bet. You can do that with all of us?"

"He probably can because he is used to feeling our energies," Dawn explained.

"But he shouldn't be able to... should he?" Amy said.

"I have always known he was stronger than I thought, and I have worked with him on it. I never suspected this..."

"Why now?" Samantha asked.

"We all know that us ladies have changed since the kids were born. All of you know I have changed and grown stronger the last few years."

"But that is you," I said.

"Yes... but I have felt all of you changing more than I expected. This last year... all of you have felt different, haven't you?"

"I guess," Linda said.

"Yes," Samantha said seriously.

"Me too," Amy added.

"I have felt it... in deep ways this last year. I have hesitated to explore it with each of you... even you, Rachel. But I have concerns..."

"What?" Samantha asked.

"Why I was feeling some of the things I felt."

"Like what?" Linda asked.

"All of us understand most of what will happen over the years or tell ourselves we do. I think it is more that we know some things will happen... but still do not fully understand them. More understanding has come to me... and I have felt it more in Amy and Samantha because I am near them all the time. All of you... what I am beginning to see and understand is overwhelming for me. I fear... it is more than I can understand... and will be overwhelming for all of you..."

Dawn began to sob. Amy wrapped her arms around her.

"Hey... we can figure all this out and deal with it," Linda said.

"I don't know!" Dawn moaned.

We all sat quietly as Dawn gathered herself.

"What does this have to do with what has happened to James?" Samantha asked.

"I think what happened in him is... that I turned on what I have felt growing in him... all at once. It shouldn't have happened... but I don't understand what is happening to all of us now!" Dawn started crying again.

Linda reached out and held Dawn and Amy.

"Honey, just talk to us," Linda said.

"I need to talk to the Spirits and get an understanding first. I need to see if James and his mom are affected permanently. His mom, I worry about it... but now I am wondering if what all happened with her today... came from James. Regardless... if the things I feel are going to grow more in all of us... we will need to work together to deal with it. I will have to train you on some things."

"Dawn... we have known James has more... maybe this is something he needs to help the kids," Rachel said.

"Probably... but now I worry about Sam and Amy. I don't want this coming on suddenly in you two. It may be something we all need... I don't know... but you all must learn to handle it gradually. I spent my entire life in training from my Great-grandparents learning how to understand and deal with feeling others' strong emotions."

"Maybe it is not that. Maybe it is just something we will feel from each other and the kids," Amy said.

"That is what I am hoping, but still..."

"Honey... this last year... the things I have been seeing about the kids have grown. You have not mentioned them. I didn't say much because I am never sure if it is just something I am supposed to know. I guess I should have told you more," I said.

"You may be right. You know much more than we do, and you need to. You will need to seek guidance to understand what you can tell us."

"Can you teach us how to seek more guidance?" I asked.

"I will have to do that. We will need to visit the reservation more."

"Okay then. What has happened today has happened. I don't need more abilities to understand you are worn out from worry, honey. Let's all get back to bed and get some sleep. We will be home in a few days," I told everyone.

"I think that is the best idea," Linda said.

Linda kissed Dawn and stood. She and Rachel went back to their room. I got Dawn in bed next to me, and Amy got behind her to hold her, and Samantha held me. I turned off the light.

*****

Thursday morning, we were lying in bed about sunup. Sylvia came into our room.

"Since you four and Linda and Rachel are planning on breaking in the new house this morning, Hileah and I are going to take care of the kids."

"If our parents want to drive around more with the kids, let them. We will be back by lunch," I said.

"Maybe..." Dawn added.

We all got up and showered. I went to check on Linda and Rachel while my girls put on their bikinis.

"You two about ready. We can stop and pick up something for breakfast," I said when I went into their room.

"You all are nuts," Rachel said.

"You can stay here."

"Hell no!"

"Let's take the convertibles," Linda said.

Samantha got into the convertible with Linda and Rachel, and we headed to the new house. The road did lead away from a lot of the city traffic.

We pulled through the gate and drove to the house. I got out and saw Samantha get out of the other convertible as she pulled her bikini off.

"I love that it is secluded!" She yelled.

I unlocked the door, and we all headed inside.

"I still cannot believe this was only $6,000,000," Linda said.

"I think we got a good buy," Dawn added.

Samantha was running into all the rooms to check them out, while the rest of us went through everything a little slower.

"I hope the kids are okay with it not being on the beach," Amy said.

"It is only about 15 minutes," Dawn added.

"We will need to get a big Escalade or one of the big Suburbans," Rachel said. "The new Suburbans have 2 big rows of seats in the back."

"That would be all we would need," I said.

"If it is not, I will get a convertible also," Linda replied.

"Linda... we will get one of the cars," Dawn said.

"No. Since we are not splitting it, I told James I would cover the cars, and we would split the monthly expenses. When we come back for the resort grand opening, we can pick those out," Linda replied.

We walked through the house making some mental notes. There were two bedrooms we would need to add a king-size bed. I would tell Ann.

"Let's go check out the cottages," Linda said.

Dawn started pulling off her clothes, then Amy. The two of them headed outside.

"I hope the house key unlocks those," I said.

We followed Dawn and Amy to the first cottage. The key worked, and we went in.

"This is a lot bigger than just a cottage," Rachel said.

We looked around. It had two large bedrooms with en suites. A big kitchen, den, and a nice patio.

"This is plenty big for a couple with a kid," Dawn said.

"If the other one is like this, that is actually 9 bedrooms," I said.

"The bathrooms are pretty big," Samantha said as she came out of one bedroom. "One bedroom needs a king size bed."

"With this big den open to the kitchen, it is pretty modern," Amy added.

We looked for a few more minutes, then headed to the other one. I had my arm around Samantha as we walked. The second cottage was the same as the first one. So, there would be 10 bedrooms total.

We walked through the garden back to the pool. It was a large free-form pool with rock landscaping.

"It needs a waterfall," Dawn said.

"You can have one added."

"They must be keeping the maintenance up. The water is nice and clean," Linda said.

I walked up behind Linda and put my arms around her.

"You got a good buy, James."

"I think I did."

I untied her thong bottom and pulled it off, then untied her top.

"Better."

She turned and kissed me. Dawn came to us.

"I think that unless we walk to the edges of the property, no one can see us," Dawn said.

Linda turned Dawn around and removed her thong.

"I hope you are right!" Linda exclaimed.

"You know she wouldn't care," I said.

"Nope!"

I saw Amy pulling off Rachel's thong. Then Samantha pulled off Amy's.

We looked around outside more, then went back in the house. I was walking through it checking things like the HVAC. Then I found the solar storage and conversion equipment in a small room. I checked it out for a bit.

When I walked back into the big den, Amy was between Linda's legs as they lay on one of the large sofas. Dawn came to me and removed all my clothes as we watched.

"Did you get left out?" I asked Rachel.

"I guess so!" She said and giggled.

I grabbed her and lifted her up, and she wrapped her legs around me.

"I'll fix that."

She held me tight with her legs as I held her ass.

"Can't take you two anywhere..." Dawn mumbled and giggled.

I walked around looking at more things as I held Rachel. She had her arms around my neck as we looked over some things. I stopped and used one hand to work my cock into her pussy as she giggled.

"This is a first!" She said.

"Not at our house!" Samantha exclaimed.

I walked us over to one of the large windows and pressed her against it.

"I want you to talk Linda into longer vacations, either here or someplace."

"I'll start with the chalet since it is close and work up to here."

"Thank you."

"If we come here for something like a month... could you join us for a week... or two?"

"Probably. If you time it around one of Dawn and the kids' three-month visits to the reservation... I think we could work that out."

"But our kids would be going too?"

"That's right. You two can take a vacation by yourselves," I kissed her

"Oh. Maybe if I can get her to the chalet for a month."

"That would be a start."

I held her ass and started working my cock in her.

"James... other than us sharing our energy... why is sex so hot between all of us? Even with Linda... it is hot."

"Rachel... let me explain something to you I learned doing marriage counseling. After the early honeymoon years, a lot of couples... probably most... sex becomes routine. And part of it becoming routine is that between two people, sex may just become expected... and not something that is shared. Sex should never be expected... it should always be shared. With all of us... even with our sharing of energies... sex between any of us is never just expected. All of us share our sexual experiences. Does that make sense?"

"Perfect. You are right. I hope it is never just expected with any of us."

"Do you worry that with all the sex we have... it may become routine?" I asked.

"That is something I do not worry about with all of us. James... the sex with you is definitely a shared experience. Sex with Linda and your wives is always a shared experience. Honestly... I don't think it will ever become routine with us."

"Then if a day comes you ever feel it becoming routine, with any of us, will you tell us? That was always such a huge hurdle to get over when counseling married couples, especially after they had kids."

"I bet. With the kids now... spontaneous sex is just about off the board."

"No, it isn't. You need to teach the kids that when you and Linda are behind closed doors, it is private time. That is what we are teaching ours, and they pretty much know that now. With Hileah, you two do not need to be available 24/7."

"But don't you feel like that is hiding sex from them? You said you all would never do that?"

"Rachel, they are too young for that much detail. In a few years we will address that. We just tell them that sometimes we need to be together in private. And... I really feel there are others explaining that to them."

"You mean... the Spirits?"

"Yes. They never questioned it when we told them not to open doors when the bedrooms are closed. I am sure that if you think about it... you and Linda have never been interrupted or surprised."

She thought for a moment.

"You're right. Maybe we are worrying about nothing."

"You two still need to sit down with your kids and discuss it. I am sure our kids have told them when they are at our house and are looking for one of us."

"We will do that."

I held Rachel up, and we fucked for a bit until we both came together.

"Emmmm... that was good," she said, and I kissed her.

We found Amy and Dawn in one of the bedrooms, pleasing each other. That room had a king-size bed. I took Rachel to the big shower, and we tried it out. Dawn and Amy joined us a few minutes later.

"I will need to tell Mom and Amelia to check for linens for all the beds and the bathrooms," Dawn said as she soaped up Rachel.

"I didn't think about towels..." I said.

"We can air dry."

"We need to check on things like a washer and dryer and see if they are staying."

"There was a pair of uprights in both cottages."

"You know... since this will not be rented... we can buy clothes to leave here, and we will not need to bring as much," Rachel said.

"Great idea!" Came from Amy.

"You just want to buy clothes," I said.

"I need a Hawaiian wardrobe!"

Once we were done, there were two towels hanging in the bathroom. We dried off with them and then went out on the patio off the bedroom.

The next three hours, I had sex with everyone else. My girls were all pleasing each other after I would fill one full of cum.

We discussed things we needed to find out, then everyone found their clothes, and we headed back. We got back to the other house just before noon, sat with everyone else, and had lunch. All the kids told us about Stan and Jeanine letting them use the SCUBA gear in the pool. They were all excited about that.

We got back to the other house a little after 12:00.

*****

I was in the kitchen with Dawn and Sylvia after we all ate.

"Sylvia, thanks for taking care of the kids this morning," I told her.

"Did you get the house broken in!"

"We did! Tonight... since you and Hileah haven't had the chance to be with James... especially on the beach, the girls will take care of the kids while you and Hileah join James on the beach," Dawn said.

"Deal!"

A bit later, I was sitting on the sofa, and Samantha was leaning back into me.

"I am happy you could do this this summer," I told her.

"I am too. I have been very busy with school. I will need you three to make sure I don't get too busy again."

"You will be busy, but I understand, honey. I love you," I said.

"I love you too."

We stayed on the sofa for a while as we watched the kids running around outside. Dawn sat with us later.

"After we eat dinner, we need to clean up the kitchen so James can take Hileah and Sylvia down to the beach," she told Samantha.

"Oh good. They haven't had a chance," Samantha said.

Our parents were spending time with the kids as they ran around outside.

"Where are the cats?" I asked.

"I think I saw them walking down to the beach," Dawn said.

"With anyone?"

"Nope."

"I guess they will be alright. I hope they don't get pinched by a crab again!" I said, giggling.

About 4:00, David came in the house with the other three cats. He had something in his mouth.

"David? What do you have?" I asked him.

He jumped up on the sofa with us and dropped it. It was a pretty little spiral shell.

"That is a nice little shell, David. Just make sure there is nothing living in it."

"Mrrrf... meow... mrrrr..."

"Take it to Lieke, and she can tell you what kind of shell it is."

He grabbed the shell in his mouth and hopped down.

A minute later, Lieke came into the den.

"He found a small Leopard cone shell," Lieke said as she held it out. "Good find, David. The big ones are worth some money."

"Meow."

"I told him to take it to you so you could see it."

"It is a small Leopard shell," Lieke said again.

"Did nobody else find anything?" Dawn asked him.

"Mrrr... mrrf... errrmf... mrr."

"Well, tell them to look harder."

David turned and left.

"Does he really know what you are saying?" Lieke asked.

"Of course, he does."

*****

After we had a great dinner. I grabbed a blanket and took Hileah and Sylvia down to the beach. Once we were there, I got them out of their bikinis. After a bit, I had Hileah straddling my hips. I grabbed my cock and slowly slid it into her wet pussy.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

She eased down all the way as she moaned, then we kissed. I took my time kissing her and slowly working my cock in her for a very long time.

"Hileah, are you okay with me kissing you like this?"

"Oh yes," she said.

"You two look good in the moonlight," I told them.

"Sylvia, you don't look like a ghost anymore!" Hileah said and laughed.

"I have been working on my tan, thank you!"

Hileah began working my cock in her hard.

"Ohhhh... yes... yes... yes..."

I always enjoyed watching Hileah. She wasn't as hesitant as Sylvia could be. She worked hard to get herself off.

"Oh my... yes!! Oh yes!!"

Hileah took her time, satisfying herself several times.

I could feel she was very satisfied after her last big orgasm. I was looking at her while she smiled.

"Thank you!" She said.

"Are you done?"

"Nope!"

She went back to work. Sylvia sat on my legs behind her and rubbed Hileah's tits as she worked her pussy.

"Oh my... yes... yes!! This is so good!"

She had another huge orgasm.

"Thank you again!"

She moved off and lay on her back. Sylvia took her place. We watched Sylvia as she started out slowly and then got into it.

"Oh fuck, yes!! Fuck me!!"

She worked her pussy harder and harder as she moaned and cried out. She closed her eyes and enjoyed it for a long time.

"Oh yes... yes... yes!! This is great out here on the beach!"

Sylvia jerked repeatedly as she came really hard. She worked harder until she had several more orgasms, then sat.

"Oh my..."

Sylvia rolled off me, and Hileah moved between her legs. I watched them in a loud 69 as they pleased each other. They were very sexy together as they pleased each other for a long time.

"Oh my..." Sylvia moaned as she rolled off.

"You two are sexy. Do you get to do that enough at home?"

"Occasionally. But not enough," Hileah said. "No such thing!"

"Hileah... how much sex do you have with Linda and Rachel?" I asked.

"Enough. At least once a week or so."

A few minutes later, the two of them were sucking my cock together and having fun.

"Emmmmm..."

They took their time and had a good time as the moon rose higher. I finally filled Hileah's mouth with cum, and she grabbed Sylvia, and they kissed.

"Oh... that was so great..." Hileah said.

I spent the next hour or so eating one of them while the other rode my cock again. They enjoyed and got off numerous times. Hileah had collapsed next to me as Sylvia finished as I pumped her full of cum while she screamed.

After that, the three of us lay on the blanket and watched the ocean in the moonlight.

"That new house is fantastic. I hope you two like it," I told them. "I have told Rachel to get Linda to take longer vacations."

"Good luck with that," Hileah said.

"You help her, please."

"I'll try."

"Are you all going to stay in it longer?" Sylvia asked.

"Eventually. I was thinking more about our parents living there for months at a time when they retire soon."

"That will be good for them."

"We will all come back at the end of the year for the resort grand opening."

"Is everyone coming?"

"Probably not the kids since we will be here less than a week. We will stay at the resort. We'll need to see if Samantha can get some time off. She is going to be busy now that she is starting her third year," I said.

"I hope she gets to come," Sylvia said.

"That resort is going to be nice," Hileah said. "I have looked over all the drawings for the last few years as Linda worked on them."

"It is going to be a great thing for Lieke's farm and family."

"Linda told me the state tried to screw them over."

"They did. Linda's lawyers took care of that. Did you hear Linda and Dawn's plans for a restaurant?"

"No!"

"Linda wants to open a Cherokee food restaurant and have Dawn or ladies from the reservation come and teach the cooks how to make all the breads she cooks, as well as authentic food."

"That will be nice. I am sure there will be some ladies who would like to come and teach them," Hileah added.

"Dawn said it could be an opportunity for some of the younger ladies who want to move off the reservation. They will have employee housing to live in. Dawn is going to supply them with the blue corn and advise on what Lieke's farm needs to grow. Sounds like deer meat is plentiful and cheap here. They said they would have real Indian food!"

"That will be interesting."

"I heard Linda and Leah talking about offering Cherokee dinners one night a week on that big boat they are going to get for dinner cruises and diving," Sylvia added.

"I know Linda knows what will sell," Hileah said. "I think this is going to be her crown jewel."

"For a billion dollars, it should be."

"James... may I ask how much of it you own?"

"Our family owns 10%. We put in $100,000,000 after making a lot in the stock market a few years ago."

"Are you going to sell that off once it is up and running?"

"I don't think we will. That was the plan, but it will pay us all well for a long time to come. We can leave the money in it."

We lay there, discussed things, and talked about the kids' future until the breeze got a little too cool. We put our clothes on and walked back toward the house.

"James... thanks for... taking care of me," Hileah said.

"Is it enough for you?"

"No such thing... but yes! Thanks."

"Sylvia, are you getting enough?" I teased her.

"You know I am!"

When we walked in the house, the kids had gone to bed. It was almost 10:30. I went to get a bottle of wine and glasses for the three of us, then returned to the den.

"I hate to be leaving soon," Amy said.

"We had a good time," Dawn replied.

"We did too. James and Dawn... when do you want us to come back and work on that house?" Ann asked.

"Whenever you have a few weeks. You and Amelia may need to leave Dad at home!"

"What about in September?"

"Whenever you two or three can come. Just let me know, and we will make arrangements. I'll send you back with plenty of cash, but the local bank can help you since it is a branch of ours. Maybe by then, Lieke will have that couple set up and living in one of the cottages," I explained.

"That will be a good thing for security," my dad said.

We all talked until about 11:30, then went to bed.

*****

I woke up with the sun on Friday morning. I knew Dawn was awake as she held me.

"Hey. You okay?"

"I guess. It is my fault. I abused my abilities with you and your mom."

"Honey... does anything happen without a reason anymore?" She didn't answer.

Samantha stirred and sat up.

"Sis... you and I can go down and start breakfast," Samantha said.

The two of them got up, put on their thongs, and headed out. I was lying there holding Dawn.

"How do you feel?" She asked me.

"I am fine."

She kissed me.

"Sorry."

"Dawn... stop. If what you say you felt... I guess it was just a matter of time for me."

"But it is something you need to learn slowly. You still should not be able to do it... but I gave up trying to figure out how much the Spirits have blessed you."

"I did too. All of us. It is what it is for a reason... we know that."

"I guess..."

"What do you need?"

"Some time alone."

"Are you sure you need to be alone?"

"I need to meditate."

"Okay. You want to stay in here undisturbed?"

"I am going to eat and walk down the beach to that lava tube. It will be isolated."

"Okay."

We got up, showered, and then went downstairs. Breakfast was in progress with everyone.

"Check on your mom," Dawn said.

After we all ate, Dawn went back upstairs. I was sitting on the sofa in the den. All four of our kids came and sat with me.

"What wrong with Mom?" Winter asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Mom doesn't feel good," Chaske said.

"We know," Rose added.

"What wrong?" Fire asked.

"She didn't sleep well last night and is tired."

"Not that," Winter said.

"Mom has something on her mind she needs to think about."

"We help."

"Not this time. She needs to be alone and meditate on it."

"We help."

"She needs to be alone."

"We still help," Rose said.

I smiled at them.

Dawn came down later in her bikini and a big towel. Our four kids followed her out the back door. I saw her stop and talk to them before she walked off toward the beach. All the kids came back to me.

"We get everybody and go to our room and help mom," Winter said.

I watched the four of them grab Sarah, Elizabeth, and Junior and head up the stairs. I saw Linda watching them... she knew. My mom came and sat next to me.

"What is going on?" Mom asked.

"Dawn is concerned about what happened with us."

"It was great. She shouldn't be troubled by it."

"Something else happened... that is concerning her. She needs to go and meditate on it."

"What does that mean?"

"She will be talking to the Spirits."

"Oh. Something bad?"

"No... just confusing her. How do you feel this morning?"

"Great. That was very special, honey."

"No lingering aftereffects or feelings."

"No. I had some great dreams!"

"That's normal."

"Am I supposed to be feeling something?"

"That is what Dawn is concerned about. She was afraid she did too much with you."

"I'm fine."

"Good."

Ann came, sat with us, and took my hand.

"She will be okay," Ann said.

"She is concerned."

"I know. She will get the information she needs."

I didn't want to leave with Dawn MIA, but Amy and Samantha took Jeanine, Stan, Lieke, and Hanna with them. They knew we needed some space. I finally walked down to the beach alone and closed my eyes to see if I could feel Dawn. Deep down, I thought I did but knew she was not on this plane of consciousness. I finally walked back to the house.

"Ann said she will be okay," Amelia said as she lay in the hammock.

I walked over to her.

"I am not sure she can get her answer here. I think she needs to be on the reservation."

I looked at Amelia as she lay there in a very skimpy thong.

"You look nice, Amelia. Everything going well?"

"I guess it runs in Dawn's family! We are all doing great."

"Good. Dawn has said you three are good for each other."

"We are."

I felt Ann put her arms around me.

"She is okay."

"I can feel her deep down... but she is lost on her own level of consciousness," I said.

"She told me the other night she had concerns for all of you. She is uncertain of how to talk to you all about what you see."

"We discussed that last night. I told her I had not been telling her about some things I have seen because I never know if they are just for me."

"James... the few times the Spirits have talked to me... they will tell you when it is just for you... even if they are showing you. After Dawn was born, that was something I had to get used to. Even though I did not follow the ways... the Spirits made sure I provided what Dawn needed. I was often told that something was just for me and her. Trust the Spirits."

"I'll have to now..."

Ann walked around me and looked at me.

"Now? Something has changed..." she said.

I recapped a little of what had happened.

"Oh my... James... Dawn and Enolia have told me that you were more Cherokee than many. It is not just blood. You understand and trust Dawn... you have Cherokee blood. From what Dawn has told me... the Spirits are going to use you more now. About the time Dawn turned three and her Great-grandparents told me she would be special... and replace them one day... things changed for me. I became more aware of her needs at that age... more than I was willing to accept. I was not very enthusiastic about her following all the old ways."

She was quiet for a minute.

"I didn't win that contest of wills. One night, in my sleep, I was taken on a journey. I had never experienced that before... and honestly, I was scared of the things I saw. That was the one and only Spirit Journey I have ever been taken on. I found myself standing in front of a council of Elders... ancient ones. I was told by all of them... burned deep into my mind... that it was not my choice for Dawn. That I had made my choice and now it was all up to Dawn. I discovered that I was supposed to do what she was chosen to do. But my will got in the way, and they would not allow me after that because I had not accepted it before I was born."

"Have you ever told Dawn this, Ann?"

"No. I was forbidden ever to tell her... still. Her knowing that would have changed her path. That night... I don't know how long I was on that plane of existence... I was shown more than I ever wanted to know. I can feel you have been shown most of the same things."

"Ann? What did you see?"

"I was shown... all of this."

"The kids?"

"Everything. I have known all my life how you would end up with three, or four, wives and what it would mean to all of them. I was shown all seven of your kids, my grandkids."

I could see tears beginning to form in Ann's eyes.

"You never said anything, Ann."

"I was forbidden. And from the way I was warned... I have honored that and will continue to honor it. I was shown much of what Enolia has seen and explained to you... just in case something happened to Enolia. I knew I never wanted to be the one to explain all this though, but it was not to be my choice if something happened to her."

"Did Great-grandfather and mother know you were shown this?"

"Yes. They were there also. They were instructed to protect me if needed, but they were not to have me explain all this unless..."

"You know more than I do."

"I have seen far down everyone's path. I may know more, but James... what you have been tasked with by the Ancient Spirits was not even for me to see. It was explained to me that Dawn's husband, you, would have the job of guiding all seven children, or, more properly, making sure they have the opportunities to learn and experience what they will need. I know you have not been shown all of that... it would be too overwhelming. I was told the Spirits would guide you when there was a need. That is your job, and yours only. There were reasons they would not reveal all to Dawn..."

"Because she would try and force their path..."

"Exactly... push and not guide... and I was told that. Great-grandfather spent his life trying to bridle Dawn's impulsiveness."

"Oh, he told me that many times."

"She could not and cannot see all you will see, James. She is too impulsive. She has enough to deal with."

"Ann... what kind of things will I need to do?"

"With your education... you will know..."

"You sound like Great-grandfather..."

"That is because that is what we were told. Dawn's husband would be a very wise man, not full Cherokee... but would have the ancient bloodline. I never knew how that would happen until we found out about your ancestors. Now, it makes more sense. We were told that her husband would be a well-educated man who understood human nature and development very well. I was also shown how you would accept Dawn and her beliefs and how that would provide you with the tools you would need."

"I am still confused about my future and how to provide."

Ann was quiet for a moment.

"You will know what to provide for growth opportunities."

"Like what?"

"James... have you not been the one to provide the opportunities for them to learn fast and well so far?"

"When I knew how smart they were, I knew they would get a lot out of computers."

"And have they now learned quickly from that?"

"Well... certainly..."

Ann just looked at me.

"You saw that?"

"Yes. I was uncertain what I was seeing years ago. Great-grandfather did not understand it all. James, everything I was shown and told is burned into my memories. After the kids were born, things began playing back like a slow-moving movie, one piece at a time. I saw the kids sitting at computers now, and you instructing them on the computers. Being older now, I knew what they were."

"And the Spirits arranged that... the computers?"

"Not exactly. You have already been shown and told how incredibly smart they all are. I saw images of them sitting and learning at a TV screen, but the Spirits wouldn't have known then what they were doing. They gave you the wisdom to use your modern knowledge to be able to provide the best opportunities for them. You understood that would be computers. Something natural for you."

"Wow... that just seemed so obvious to me."

"Exactly. That is what we are counting on. You understand how kids learn. That was chosen for you."

"Ann, are you saying my path was guided all this time by the Spirits? To become a psychologist, to meet Dawn, to meet Linda... just to know what to do for all of us?"

"Over a thousand years of planning, James. I had to be shown so I could gently guide Dawn down her path... since I fucked it all up for me... but she is the right person."

"That is hard for me to understand."

"James... even the family you were born into was preordained. Dawn's husband had to learn and understand love and how to share it. Your family, including your parents, has trained you to be the way you are. You are a special man who knows that love is strong and does not have to be singular and can be shared when needed. You were not taught that directly... but you feel it and know it. All of your experiences as you grew up guided your knowledge. Even you and your sister and mother..."

"Ann, there is no way you can know about that?"

"I do. I was even shown the sister you loved dearly hundreds of years ago whose Spirits are now a part of you and Dawn. A thousand years or more, James."

"Ann, how were you able to deal with what had to be a serious overload of information for you?"

"I spent what felt like days, or even weeks, with the Ancient Spirits that night. They made sure I learned all and understood it all. Before the journey was over, I was told that I would have feelings for what was right for Dawn... and everyone, more than for recalling it all. They told me it was too much. But those things would be revealed to me when needed, but I had to know it all, even though it was not to be on a conscious level. I probably went through what you are going through now when Dawn was young. Pieces just come together now, don't they?"

"Yes. I know they show me things in images because I cannot understand Cherokee, but..."

"That was the way it was and still is for me. James... deep inside of you... when something is revealed or just makes sense... don't you feel like you knew that was going to happen?"

"I do. It is like you say, something comes up and I know what to do with it or provide."

"Get used to it."

"Ann? Are you saying I have probably already been shown everything like you were?"

"I cannot answer that."

"You cannot?"

"I cannot because I am not allowed to tell you things like that... if they have happened or not."

"Ann, after your journey, did you know what had happened that night?"

"After that night... I became withdrawn. I could remember bits and pieces and... I thought I was experiencing postpartum psychosis."

"I bet! What changed that for you?"

"Bits and pieces in dreams. Enough that I began to understand that if I had followed the old ways, I would have understood the journey and what was happening to me. Great-grandmother helped me through it for the first year. After that, I understood just to wait and that things would happen and appear as needed. That is what I have done."

"And never told anyone..."

"I am forbidden."

"Are things still revealing themselves to you?"

"I am here right now, aren't I?"

"You mean..."

"This has been on my 'things to do list' for a while. The timing was never right until today."

"Oh, my god."

"Dawn did not turn anything on in Sue. She turned it on in you. She was not allowed to see that was her job yet."

"So, this is all part of it?"

"The Spirits felt like it would be easier for you to believe and understand than if they did it. You still have some doubts, James."

"I think they are all gone now! Ann, I need you to help me prepare for..."

"No! That is forbidden. Didn't Great-grandfather tell you that if you knew too much you would fuck it up?"

"Yes... he did." I giggled.

"You would. We would. Dawn would."

"Now what, Ann?"

"Now... you have a little more understanding."

"I do?"

"You will be able to use what I have just told you to make more sense of things... as they may get more complicated."

"I guess Dawn can help me..."

"No! Not with her impatience. You are still to keep much to yourself. Seek her help to help you, but do not reveal all you see. You will have to decide if she knew something you did... would she start forcing a path for the kids... all of you."

"That is what is troubling her today... isn't it?"

"Yes. She has realized today what she did was just in you. And you know what she is doing right now."

"Asking the Spirits to show her more."

"Exactly. James... as wise as she is... she will not be allowed to see more than she needs for that time. You will not see it all... you couldn't handle it either, and you are far more patient than my daughter."

"Do the kids see all?"

"Sort of. I am not privy to all that, but I know the kids see what they need to see and understand their path and where it leads. For them... they do not worry about each little thing because they know what is to come."

"I guess that makes sense."

"Those seven are wise beyond anything you and I will ever understand. But they can take it all in stride because they understand it all and do not doubt it. We may be unable to see or believe. That is why we are only shown what we need to be shown. As I have gotten older and things have fallen into place that I saw... more is shown to me. That is what is going to happen with you now, James."

"That is so hard to believe, Ann. Now I worry I will not be able to understand it all."

"James... the one thing I had to learn on my journey was just to trust. I would not have been able to see all this in my head without going crazy. My beliefs are not that strong, and I would doubt it. You know... after yesterday... you must trust in all things. We will be shown what we need to know for the important things we must guide. My job is growing to a close. Yours is just beginning."

"But you know more..."

"I do, but I cannot guide any one of them to what is on their paths like you and Dawn can, all your wives... or your paths. I will only be there for support. It has been a heavy burden for me leading up to right now. This is one of the final very important tasks I have left."

"I guess I can talk to you then."

"No... you cannot. I can support you all emotionally when needed, but you cannot share the things you see with me, just like you cannot share them all with others. That is forbidden."

"I would ask why... but there is always a reason... isn't there?"

She finally smiled.

"When two people know something, they begin to evaluate it and not accept it on face value."

"Oh... makes sense."

"Always a reason. You are learning, James!"

"Now what?"

"You support and help Dawn through her current struggles with her impatience. By now, she knows what happened, and she was supposed to make it happen."

"Good. We can talk about that."

"No, James. You cannot discuss anything I have told you. It is forbidden. I had to tell you so you could help Dawn as well as understand better. We never had this talk."

"Gee... thanks, Ann."

"Sorry, but that is the way it has to be. You will be unable to tell Dawn that you understand what happened, because she would know you learned it from someone other than her. She must tell you today."

"You are right about that. She hates me hiding things..."

"But she understands. She just doesn't like it!"

"And never will!":

Ann hugged me for a minute, and I held her.

"Oh, shit, Ann! Amelia! She heard all this!"

I turned to look at Amelia.

"No, she didn't. She will wake up soon," Ann said.

Amelia was out cold.

"I better wake her since she is lying in the sun."

"Give her a few minutes. Dawn will be back in an hour or so... thoroughly chastised by the Spirits."

"Not for what she did?"

"No, for constantly asking to see it all. She frustrates them!"

Ann turned and walked back into the house. I stood there thinking for a few minutes, then shook Amelia awake.

"Hey, you dozed off. Don't get burned."

"I did doze off... didn't I..."

Amelia had that look like people do when they have suddenly been woken up from a deep sleep.

"I'll get you some wine."

"Thanks."

I walked into the house, and all the kids were running down the stairs. They all came to me and hugged my legs.

"Mama okay now," one of them said.

"Good."

"We helped her."

"What did all of you do?"

Winter looked up at me.

"We helped her daddy!"

They all released me and ran outside... and that was the end of that conversation. I took Amelia her wine.

"Don't get burned."

"Oh, I hate to go home!"

"I know."

I went back in.

A few minutes later, Ann came down the stairs with Charlie. They went outside to sit with Amelia. My phone rang, and it was Amy.

"We are heading back. Is that okay?"

"Yes. Thanks, honey."

"We will be there in about 30 minutes."

I had figured out that Amy and Samantha had taken Stan, Jeanine, Lieke, and Hanna with them. They knew we needed to be alone.

"Did you all eat lunch?"

"No! We are hungry!"

"Good. We have food to eat up today. I will make something."

I looked in the fridge. It was nearly empty except for some leftover spaghetti from two nights ago. I got it out and started heating it, then got out the few loaves of French bread left and put them in the oven.

"Kids! Is leftover spaghetti okay for lunch?"

"Skeddy!"

I went into the pantry to see what cans of vegetables we had left. There was one big can of lima beans. I opened it and dumped it into a pot. This would be enough for all of them. Anyone else who came in would have to fend for themselves.

I was getting out the dishes when Amy came in with that group. The kids were already sitting at the table.

"Smells good!" Jeanine exclaimed.

"You all should have eaten. There is not much left here," I said.

"We hungry, Daddy!"

"It's ready. Leftover spaghetti, lima beans, and garlic bread."

I set it on the table, and they all attacked it.

I was about to start eating when I saw Dawn walking up the path. I got up and went to her. I took her in my arms and held her.

"You okay?"

"Better. I did learn that I was right. I didn't turn anything on in your mom. I turned it on in you."

"I guess that is better."

"I guess."

"Anything else?"

"The Spirits chastised me thoroughly!"

"For what you did with me?"

"Noooo. Asking questions about our future."

"You know better than that!"

"I'll learn one day."

Ann walked up.

"Are you better, honey?" Ann asked.

"Yes. I just had to get some answers to a few questions."

"Good."

Ann walked up the path with us. Dawn had put her arm around me and leaned into me as we walked. Ann went back to sit with Charlie and Amelia. We were walking by the pool when Dawn suddenly stopped. I looked down at her, and she was looking up at me with a scowl.

"I don't like this!"

"What?" I asked.

"You know what! You know something you are not telling me!"

I looked up, and Ann was watching us.

"I don't know... maybe. I fell asleep while everyone was gone and... had some weird dreams."

"About what?"

"I'm not sure. Odd things."

"Like what?" She wasn't going to let it die. I thought I had buried my conversation with Ann deep.

"I don't know. I saw some things with you... the kids... just odds and ends. Maybe because of the way I can feel now. I'll have put it all together."

Dawn kept looking at me.

"I never like this, James."

"Sorry."

We walked into the house.

"Mommy! You better now!" Rose exclaimed.

"Yes... what?"

"We help you!" Winter stated.

"James, what did you tell them?"

"Not a damn thing."

She walked over to the kids.

"Thank you all," Dawn said, unsure for what.

"Sit and eat," I told Dawn.

I made her a plate.

*****

After we finished eating, Dawn was helping me clean up.

"You didn't tell them anything?"

"No. After you left, they all came to me and asked what was wrong with you. I just told them you needed to think about some things. They said they would all help and ran back upstairs. I didn't see them again until just before I saw you."

"They are too young to feel me like that..."

"Dawn... seriously? It may be time to explain to them what they feel sometimes."

"I guess. They are just so young..."

"In years."

She was looking at me again.

*****

Everyone hung out at the house. We all worked on eating up all the food. Linda came and sat with me.

"We are ready," she said.

"You know what? Let me get my camera. You and Rachel grab two big blankets."

We got up. I went to Dawn.

"Grab our wives and come with me."

"Ooookay."

Dawn stood.

"We are going down to the beach," I said.

"Okay. We will keep the kids occupied," Ann said.

I went and grabbed my camera and flash. I collected all my ladies, and we headed down to the beach.

"Spread the blankets and sit down," I told them. "And get naked."

I took some photos as they took off their bikinis and sat on the blankets. I sat in front of them.

"We all need to talk," I said.

"Oh boy," Dawn moaned.

"I'll talk first. All of you know that some things happened yesterday... or last night. Dawn was helping my mom and me out... you all know that. After last night, you know what is troubling Dawn. She was by herself today. Amy, thanks for giving us all some time alone. She has told me she has figured out something about yesterday. But before she tells you about all that... I am going to say a few things."

They were all looking at me. Dawn was especially giving me a hard look.

"Our kids are all four and a half now. We all know that they understand far more than we do. All of us have been struggling with some of the things we are feeling. And honestly, I think we all are afraid to discuss it."

"James..." Dawn said.

"I'm talking now. I am struggling. You all know now that there are more things I know some about that I cannot tell you all. It has to be that way because that is what I was told. All of you must respect that. I am troubled because I am unsure what I can discuss with you... and I need to talk about some things. Today... I was told... that if there are things I see and feel... I will be told which ones I cannot discuss..."

"You did learn something!" Dawn exclaimed.

"Honey, let the grown-up talk." She scowled at me. "I have told all of you that I knew things I cannot tell you. I was told about them years ago. All of you are going to need to respect that. I am bound by it. However... I, as well as all of you, are going to discuss things we can discuss and get them out in the open so that we do not fear them. Just like the kids, we will know what we cannot talk about. I am sure there are reasons for that... we all know there are reasons for everything. When we get back home, we are all going to seek guidance from the Spirits on what we can all discuss. Things are moving too fast for any of us to understand all of it."

I sat for a moment.

"Dawn... honey... I did learn some things today... that have led me to this point. And no, I cannot tell you from where or what I learned. Please accept that. It is a burden for me, and I know it troubles you. But... I have a far better understanding of the whys and why nots of it now. It will help me help all of us... and the kids. Don't ask me to tell, because I cannot."

"I just think it is time... I know it is time now... for us to be communicating more. We needed this time together the last two weeks."

David trotted up and sat.

"I'm not telling you either, you spy!"

"Meow!!"

"He probably knows," Dawn said, giggling.

"Probably. Does everyone agree?"

"Yes," they all said.

"Dawn... can you talk to us now?" Linda asked.

"I can. This morning, I suspected that what happened yesterday was not with Sue but with him. I was right. We don't need to worry about Sue."

"Is he going to be in my head now!" Linda exclaimed and laughed.

"No. He knows the rules. That was my fault last night. I asked him to try."

"I guess it was okay!"

"We all know the rules. What I was told today was that this was coming. I was told that James will handle it better if it came from me instead of waking up with it from the Spirits one morning."

"But why... and now?" Samantha asked.

"As we all know now... he knows things we do not. I tried to find out what today... and was thoroughly chastised by the Spirits... again. Of course, I was told that if I needed to know, I would be told."

"That was Great-grandfather, wasn't it!" Samantha exclaimed and laughed.

"Yeeeess. He was there. I did get a better understanding of what James' job is now and will be. From what I was told and was allowed to see... James needs these abilities now to be able to better sense things from the kids. The kids are at the point where they are smart enough to start seeing and understanding more of what's to come. But... the Spirits said they would hide their confusion. Now, James can feel it, talk to them, and help them. That is his job... not mine. I was told I have enough to do, along with all of you."

"But I don't know what we are supposed to be doing!" Linda exclaimed.

"He already has told us if the kids need something from us, he will tell us. Linda... all of you... I think we are going to need to let him deal with that. He has been given the knowledge and educated to know what kids need and how they develop. Of course, ours are far ahead of others... that is his department. Linda... I know... I struggle to feel like I am providing challenges for them."

"I know!" Linda said.

"I now know we are to release that need to James. Our job now is to nurture and guide their personality and emotional development. They are very smart, but they are still four-year-olds... and need that from us because we will grow to understand what they will need in that department. Does that make you feel better, Linda?"

"I'll try and let it go."

"James will be providing us with any details we need."

"Things are going to begin to change more rapidly. They are all about to start some level of formal schooling. We will hire a teacher, but all of us will be teaching them something. We will work all that out. But James is the guidance counselor. If we need to tell him something, we will. He will monitor and help guide their growth. But... he will know when we need to slow down so the kids can absorb and catch up. That is going to be very important, so we don't overload them and they get burned out. You can't feed a small fire too fast, or it will smother."

I knew that came from Great-grandfather!

"Enough from me..."

"Thank you, Dawn. I needed to hear this," Amy said. They all agreed they needed to hear this.

"They are going to absorb things fast, and we will need to know when to hold back and let them absorb and grow. That will be very important, and we will need to watch them to see if they are trying too hard to learn everything too fast," I said.

We all sat and talked for a while.

"We will talk more when we get home," I said.

"Good. Now make love to all of us!" Linda exclaimed.

"I'll try!"

On Saturday evening, as we started packing up, the kids were moaning that they wanted to stay longer. We assured them we would come back. Linda was making plans with Stan and Jeanine to take off early on Sunday since they were flying to North Carolina. With the kids and cats, they didn't want to be landing there in the middle of the night. That got that plan done and made arrangements for a hotel and cars. Rachel was looking forward to it most of all.

"If we take off by 8:00 in the morning, it may still be 9:00 or 10:00 when we land," Linda said.

"Get the kids up and leave earlier," I told her.

"What time is everyone else's flight?"

"10:00. We will be landing around midnight," Dawn said.

"I told Allana we would all be gone by noon. That will give them plenty of time to clean and take care of things in the house," I said.

"James... can you go with us one day next week to close on the Chalet?" Linda asked.

"Any day."

"We will fly in and do that and get back."

"I will need to go shopping Tuesday for cat supplies," Rachel told us.

"David, are you going to tell the new kitties all the rules?" I asked him.

"Meow! Meow!"

"That cat is still weird," Linda said.

"Better get used to it," Dawn told her.

"We will need to borrow David's cage."

"Meow!"

"Will the hotel let you bring 4 cats?" Amy asked.

"Amy, honey. Hotels do whatever I tell them! I got the penthouse, and they are going to roll in a bunch of small beds."

"No need for that. All the kids can probably sleep in one king-size bed," Samantha said.

"Just in case then. The penthouse has two bedrooms. Jeanine and Stan have another room."

"I bet two or three of the kids can sleep on a sofa," Dawn said.

"We'll figure it out..."

"I will be sleeping on the sofa!" Claire said.

"With one or more kids probably!" Amy added.

"We will need to make sure room service has fish for dinner and lunch!" Rachel exclaimed and laughed.

"Meow!"

"I didn't forget all of you," Linda said to him. "You want fish or cat food on the jet?"

"Meow... rrrff... meerrr... rrrr..."

"I think that was for fish," Dawn said.

"Meow! Meow!"

"We should take the leftover shrimp and put it on some ice in a cooler and take it for them," Rachel said.

"Meow! Meow!"

"How the hell does he know what she said?" Dad asked.

"Mrrrrrrr..." Dad got from David.

"I will make all the cats scrambled eggs for breakfast then," I said.

"Meow!!"

"We have leftovers to take or toss," Dawn said.

"Is there enough to make sandwiches for us?" Rachel asked.

"Plenty of ham, turkey, cheese, and hoagie buns," Lieke said.

"Good."

"Lieke, you and Hanna take whatever is in the fridge," I told her.

"What about the sealed bottles of wine and other food?"

"Leave the food, take the wine and beer if you want it. Otherwise, just leave it for the next people."

"Okay. We timed the food in the fridge just about right. Other than the turkey, ham, and cheeses, we ate everything else."

"Okay. Just leave a note for the next people and tell them they can have what is left in the pantry, but ask if they will replace it before they go."

We discussed other things as we packed and cleaned up. We were all stuffing T-shirts the kids and everyone else bought into bags and suitcases. We had packed all our SCUBA gear into the hard cases on Friday and dropped it off at Alanna's office to be picked up by DHL. We had dropped off air tanks at the dive shop.

By 10:30, we had everything packed. The kids had run out of gas after packing all their clothes and things. Once the kids went to bed, everyone else was running around in just underwear so they could pack everything but what they were wearing on the plane. We had decided to get the kids up about 5:00 so Linda and crew could all head out to the airport before 6:00. Linda couldn't get the shuttle there that early, so we had planned a caravan to the airport before 6:00. Everyone would be going since our flight started boarding at 9:30.

We had to get there with enough time to drop off rentals, check in, and get ready. The plan was to leave the house no later than 5:45. We had the kids in bed, and the rest of us were having some wine in the den, except for Stan and Jeanine.

"When are we coming back?" Linda asked.

"Samantha and Dawn are going to try to talk Dr. John into shutting down his practice for a few weeks in December. If that works, we should come back then. But Sam probably can't get a break," Dawn said.

"You all can come back without me. That is fine," Samantha said.

"That would leave you at the house by yourself."

"Oh, I can probably find someone to keep me company!"

"I may not be able to get off. I might be there," Amy said.

"Well, we all need to make arrangements to get two weeks next year. Sam, you think you can do that?" Dawn asked.

"We get a three-week break in July... let me check."

"That would be good."

"Don't forget, we will have a ski chalet available in the winters," Linda reminded us.

"I would have to learn how to ski!" Samantha exclaimed and laughed.

"I would too," Amy added.

"Maybe next winter, we should just plan on going on a ski trip for a week or more. We would have time to teach the kids how to ski," Linda said.

"How big is the chalet?" Charlie asked.

"Six bedrooms and big. A big sleeper sofa in the game room. After us, James and his wives, the kids... that would take four bedrooms. Hileah and Sylvia can share one. That would only leave one," Linda explained.

"But there is a nice chalet just down the road we stayed in last year. It has three big bedrooms," Rachel said.

"Dawn and Samantha can fly your helicopter, so we wouldn't need to go," Jeanine said.

"If we also get the chalet with three bedrooms... that would cover everyone's parents and leave one bedroom for you two," Rachel said.

"Claire? Do you want to learn to ski?" Linda asked. "You could take the last bedroom of the six, and that would still have enough bedrooms for Jeanine and Stan," Linda said.

"That may be a good idea for this winter. Let's work on those plans instead of coming back here in December," I said.

"Dawn, if you and Sam want to fly Linda's helicopter instead of us going, that is fine. If you all are going to be gone for two weeks, we may go to the Bahamas," Stan said.

"Okay. We will figure it all out," Linda said.

After that conversation, we all headed to bed since we would be getting up at 4:00.

We were still making love when the sun began to come up on Sunday. But we were all awake and energized.

"We should have gotten some sleep," I said.

"Nah!" Came from Samantha.

"Well, we have to get ready to fly out," Dawn said.

"Everyone... this was a good night," Amy said.

"Yes, it was," we all agreed.

We all showered to rinse off and wake up some more. We put our clothes back on, picked up the empty water bottles that someone had gone and gotten at least once during the night.

We ran into everyone downstairs.

"This has been a good trip," Rachel said.

"When can you all go to Sugar Mountain?" Linda asked.

"Does that need to be next week?" I asked.

"Yes."

"You all will be back Tuesday. Let's take a couple of days to unpack and get caught up. How about Friday?" Dawn asked.

"That will work," Linda said. "I will call and let them know. I will tell them to meet us at the chalet to save time."

"I won't be able to go," Amy said.

"I will be," Samantha said.

"We will fly back soon on a weekend so everyone can see it," Linda added.

"I guess we are all going to shower, then get ready to go," Rachel said.

Everyone helped finish packing or showering. We were nearly packed and were helping the kids pack all their new clothes and souvenirs.

"Linda, can we get all the kids' crap on your jet?" I asked.

"Yes. I think we have it all in the shopping bags leftover from the stores."

"I'll start a pile. What time are you all leaving?"

"Jeanine and Stan are leaving soon to go and get the jet ready and drop off their car. I guess we will need to load up all the rentals and take off as soon as we get loaded," Linda said.

"Our flight is at 10:00," Dawn said. "We should be able to get everything unloaded, loaded, and the cars turned in by 8:15."

"Let's begin loading the cars," I said.

"Put as much in the Escalades as possible. Those two black ones can drive around to the private jet port without questions," Stan said.

"I will drop off our convertible," Rachel said.

"We can drop off all of the cars, Rachel," my dad said.

"Can we check our bags for our flight that early?" Dawn asked.

"Sure. Let's get there early enough and see if we can drop off our luggage before we go to your jet," I said.

"That leaves four cars to take back," Charlie said.

"We can all drive them," I said.

"James, let us take the cars back and ride the shuttle back. That way you can take care of the luggage," Dawn said

"That will work."

"Let's cram all these bags in our convertible, and we can load them on the jet first," Jeanine said.

We went to work loading things up. Once Stan's convertible was full, he and Jeanine left. We did a good job loading mostly the things that needed to be on Linda's jet into the two Escalades. That would help us drop off the rest of the luggage.

We all sat down and took a break.

"Kids, did all of you have fun?" Linda asked.

"We did! A bunch! Yes! Yes! When can we come back!"

"Well, we are going to try to come back once a year..."

"Ahhhh! Just once a year! Bummer!"

We laughed at them.

"Rachel honey, did you make arrangements for food to be delivered to the jet?" Linda asked.

"Yes. Jeanine will call them when they get there."

"Good. I think I may sleep all the way back."

"You all shouldn't have stayed up all night!" Claire said. "You are not kids anymore!"

"That was unavoidable," Dawn said.

"Uh, huh."

"Mom, did you have a good time?" Samantha asked.

"A great time. Thanks to all of you for convincing me to come."

"You will be coming back!"

"Rachel, are you looking forward to getting your kitties?" Claire asked.

"Yes!"

"You will enjoy them, and if they are pure breeds, be ready for some big cats!"

"We get kitties!" Sarah exclaimed.

"Meow meow!!" Came from David.

"Since we are in the cars, you guys are going to need to get in the cages," I told David.

"... mrrrrr..."

"We get you out on the jet!" Elizabeth told him.

"Meow!"

"David, you did a good job keeping everyone under control," Dawn told him.

"Eow... mrrr... mrrfff... eeww... mrrr... mrff... mrrrrfff... eerrr."

"'What did he say, Chaske?"

"He wants to know when we are coming back. They liked chasing the lizards and crabs!"

"You will know better next time not to smell one!" I told him.

"Mrrrf!!"

"Lieke, thank you for doing this. You didn't have to," I told her.

"You all are like family. Hanna and I had a good time."

"If you know a couple who would be interested in living in one of the cottages of that new house, work it out with Alannah."

"One of my cousins is married to a great girl, and he is going to work in the offices at the resort. He just got his MBA."

"You think they would be interested?"

"I do. It is so hard for a young couple to afford a place to live. The drive would only be about 15 minutes. His wife is a distant cousin of mine, and she would enjoy taking care of the house for you."

"I told Alannah to work it out for us. I would like to have someone there all the time for security... but if the two of them want to help take care of things, we will pay them."

"I will talk to them, but I think they would enjoy that. They live in a small apartment that is about a 30-minute drive back to the resort."

"They could save their money this way. Let us know what would be fair to pay them for whatever level of help they can provide. Talk to them about any lawn care or other equipment that they are willing to use. If they need something, have them give me a call, and we'll take care of it. The place has a gardener and a pool crew, but we will pay them well for any help with the upkeep. I'll let you help us decide what a fair payment would be. Linda is going to help cover the monthly costs since we did not split it with her."

"I will discuss it with them. It would give them a chance to save money for some years. Did the house have lawn equipment?"

"I didn't see any in the out-buildings. If they want to help with some of that, go with them to get any equipment needed and let me know what I owe you."

"Okay."

"Hanna, thanks for helping out. I have some money for you two."

"No, you are family. We are not charging you," Leike said.

"I wish you would take the money," Dawn said.

"No..."

"We will make one more sweep through the house then."

Everyone went through the house and outside one last time.

"We may as well go and have plenty of time," Dawn said.

"It's 5:45. Let's go. Do we have everything?" I asked.

"We hope so."

We hugged Lieke and Hanna and then loaded up the caravan and headed out. We were there by 6:30. We dropped off as many people and as much luggage as we could at Linda's jet, then headed back to unload all our things. We pulled up and began unloading. I grabbed three skycaps, and they helped. As we emptied one vehicle, someone headed off with it until Dawn was taking the final convertible. Amelia stayed with me. I showed the skycaps copies of tickets, and we tagged luggage for ten minutes.

"Is it too early?" I asked them.

"No, sir. They will hold it all," one of them said.

"Thanks, guys. For your trouble," I handed each one of them $100.

"Thank you, sir! Have a good flight!"

I stood and took a breath. Then we walked down to where the rental car shuttle would drop everyone off. It was about ten minutes before the shuttle with all of them pulled up. We started the walk to the security check. I was holding Samantha's hand as we walked.

"Did you pay Lieke?" Samantha asked.

"She wouldn't take it."

"You still paid her, though?"

"She will find it when she unloads the leftovers!"

Dawn put her arm around me.

"You better text her and tell her. She may throw the leftovers out!" Dawn said.

"I hope not!"

"I'll text her," Amy said as we walked.

We went through security, and then we all went into a restaurant. We had over an hour to kill. We decided to eat so we could sleep on the plane. Dawn was sitting next to me.

"How did you learn things?" She asked.

"I'm ignoring you." And that was the end of that conversation!

We all ate, sat, and talked. I knew the waiters wanted us to leave, so I left them a huge tip for taking up the table.

We checked in at the gate and only waited about five minutes before they boarded first class. After stowing everything, we all settled in for a nap. I told the stewardess we were all good.

"Now the long, boring part," I said to Dawn.

"I am going to sleep," she said.

I looked over at Amy and Samantha, and they were already leaning against each other.

We were in zombie mode when we changed planes in Dallas. We had to wait about 30 minutes to board. Once we were on, nobody wanted coffee. We all wanted to go back to sleep.

The stewardess woke me up when we needed to check our seatbelts on approach to Nashville. It would be about 15 minutes before we started descending. We all decided we needed a quick coffee.

*****

"Can we just leave the luggage and buy new clothes?" Samantha moaned once we were off the plane in Nashville.

"Come on."

We were all weaving as we stood at the luggage carousel and waited. It finally started coming out. The guys grabbed all of it. Dawn had called the car parking place, and they were waiting on us at the curb with the shuttle. I let them load all the bags. It was a short drive back to the lot. They had the bus waiting. It was 11:00 p. m. We got the Escalade bus loaded with some help, and we climbed in.

"Son... you want me to drive?"

"I'm okay. It will take about 30 minutes."

"I am still going to watch you," Dawn said from the other front seat.

It was quiet in the back as I drove.

"The bad part about going to Hawaii is having to leave and come back," Dawn said.

"I guess even living in paradise might get old after a while."

"It would take me a long time to get tired of it. Maybe in a few years we can stay for a month or so in the new place."

"Sounds good. I hope our parents will do that once they begin to retire."

"I'll start working on coordinating everything and everyone for the resort grand opening. I think we should plan on leaving the kids here if it will be a week or less," Dawn said.

"Probably best. Sylvia and Hileah can take care of them. I hope we will all be flying with Linda."

"And Claire can help. I hope Sam can get some time to go. She is a part-owner also."

"You want to go back and help teach them to make Cherokee food?"

"I may try to go for a week or so to help get it all set up. There are younger ladies on the reservation that have learned to cook our food that would enjoy going for a few months or so to train others. Probably some that would like to go and stay. But any men or women who think they can easily move to Hawaii will have a rude awakening when they discover the cost of living there."

"If they are working at the resort, they have the employee housing, but those are small one and two-bedroom starter apartments. I guess we could help out some," I added.

"There are several older couples that would enjoy helping get a restaurant set up and started. They wouldn't have any desire to stay and live there but would be good to help train for a few months."

"We should talk to any of the younger people that have been working on business degrees to work in the casinos. Helping in Hawaii would be a nice internship for an MBA candidate."

"Good idea," Dawn said. "I know one young lady who is working on her MBA through our scholarships that would love to do that. I'll talk to her. A semester or two internship would be some great practical, hands-on experience. I have been talking to Linda about letting her intern at her business, but the resort would be good."

"She could always do one semester with Linda locally and one in Hawaii. I think this is a good idea. I know we awarded several MBA scholarships recently."

"I will call the MBA intern coordinator at North Carolina State," Dawn said. "... next week..."

When we finally pulled up to the house, it was close to 1:00. I told everyone to leave the bags because we were all tired. Everyone went in and straight to bed.
