I didn't do much over the next few days other than rest and try to get better. It was killing me to not be active, because that was normally a huge part of my life, but I knew that I really did need to get healthy before I started pushing myself.

And yes, I also needed to get into shape in order to try moving forward on the baby making aspect of things too.

I'd been terrified about the conversation I needed to have with the girls, but it really wasn't too tough. Bella and Frida had been spending all their time together, usually at the beach, so we had a lot of time to have that talk. It turned out that we needed less than 15 minutes.

"I guess we have 2 things to discuss. Where do we live, and can we make this relationship between us work," I started. "Is there anything else?"

"Nope, that seems to be it." Willow nodded along with Lexie.

"If we can move here, and hang out with all these people, would that be okay with you?" I asked.

"That is what we're hoping for," Willow said with a smile. "It is so amazing to see all of these neighbors enjoying life with each other. Talia and Elise were really happy that we were trying to all be together. I guess they have some experience with poly relationships, but I'm not sure how."

All the women in the neighborhood had been stopping by to check on us, both individually and in pairs. It was summer, and Elise was a teacher, so she was home anyway. Hana and Mira had a travel blog that Willow and Lexie had started raving about and had also written a book. They were taking time to raise their family while the kids were young, but it sounded as though they planned to travel more in the future and would include their kids more too. Since I was sleeping a lot while trying to get better, all of them had a chance to talk to Willow and Lexie, and they'd formed a fast bond.

There were several doctors' offices and emergency clinics in the area, so Lexie and Willow were already job hunting which was part of my other issue.

"Okay, so we stay here. That was easy. But that means we need to get a house, so maybe once I'm better we can start looking," I suggested. While my uncles had two guest rooms, we had Bella in one, and Lexie and Willow in the other at night. I slept on the couch. Because I had to sleep on my right side, and the back of the couch supported me to keep me in that position. The guest room bed also wouldn't fit three, anyway. But during the day, I moved to Lexie and Willow's bed, and leaned my back against a big body pillow that was almost as long as I was. I was feeling a lot better, mostly just stiff, and every day I thanked the fates for putting a great surgeon like Alex in our path. Oh, and that it was only a bunch of birdshot pellets that she had to remove, and not big bullets!

They both shared a look, making me realize there was more to say. "Well, you know Talia is in construction, right?" Willow said with a smile, and I nodded as that had been brought up. She'd done a lot of the renovations up and down the street. "She said that the people at the end of the street, in the big house on the water, have her fixing it up to sell. It hasn't been listed yet, but we could grab that when it was ready. It might be another 3 weeks or so." They were both on their knees next to the bed, since that put them at my level, and it was nice to see them so close these days.

"Seriously? A house on the water? Sign me up!" That sounded perfect. The houses on the water were bigger too, and we'd need the room with 4 of us already and our plan for having kids.

"Now, what about us?" Willow asked.

"I told you that I'd help you make babies, and that holds true. I also love you both, though perhaps not as much as I will when we spend even more time together. When I saw you again after all these years, I realized how much I cared about you. Love you even, though I want that to grow. I want to love you like I did Lessa, even if our relationship is different. I know we can't all legally get married, but if you two get married, and we have a symbolic ceremony for the three of us to pledge ourselves to each other, while I adopt Bella, would that work?"

They both nodded happily, and I was glad that we were making progress.

"I want to try this. I love you both, though I think you have the advantage of having been together for so long. But I want to take this journey with you. I want to have children with you and love you and be loved. I haven't felt that in so long, and it feels so good being with you both, even with all the crazy shit we've had to go through. But I will say this, I don't know what to do with my life. Petra already said she wanted to give me time off, but if I'm with you both, and raising a family, then I don't want to go back to that. I feel like the killing is taking a toll on my soul, and I don't like it. I know I'm doing good, and saving people, but it is still draining."

"That's good though!" Lexie agreed. "We wouldn't want you going back into danger!"

"Right! We need you with us!" Willow added.

"But what do I do?" I asked. "Nothing I've done is something I can really apply to a job. I wouldn't even know what to put on a resumé."

They sat silent for a minute before they started talking.

"You're great at swimming and know first aid, so you could be a lifeguard."

"You could teach self-defense!"

"You could talk to Paige about being a substitute teacher!"

"Maybe try construction with Talia!"

"You can be our personal masseuse!" Lexie finally suggested with a laugh, and I had to admit, I felt better. I'd said before that I was a jack of all trades. I knew how to do a lot of things, and maybe I could pass some of that information along.

"I like all those suggestions. Honestly, I might try more than one, since I don't know which will be the best fit. But I guess I have options, and 2 gorgeous women to help me out." I reached out, lightly running my hand along Lexie's cheek, before doing the same for Willow's. "And you both have done so much to help me get better. Thank you both."

They both smiled before Willow's turned into a smirk. "Yeah, but you know we're just trying to get you better so we can get what's inside these sweatpants!" she patted the bed, right in front of my groin and I chuckled.

"Alex said a week, right? So, I guess in another couple days we can try," I pointed out after doing a little mental math.

               "You're right, we absolutely could," agreed Lexie. "But we were thinking that perhaps, we may need to make sure everything is in proper working order. Nothing strenuous, you could perhaps lay there and relax. We're nurses, after all, and can examine you to make sure that everything is working as it should."

               "Huh?" I was confused now, unless...

               "What my fiancé is trying to say is that we want to suck you off till you cum in our throats and let us taste you. We've seen how hard you get in the shower, and I don't think we can wait to play with you," Willow stated plainly.

               "Yes. What she said!" Lexie looked down at the floor as she turned beet red.

               "Are you serious?" I looked between them, and Lexie looked back up and finally nodded. Willow was already grinning, and I had a feeling that she was going to be the more aggressive of the two. "I don't think I can do that."

               "What?" Willow's eyes went wide.

               "Wait, no. I mean yes. I would love that. But I want to make sure you both get something out of it too. I may not be in perfect working order, but I have a hand and mouth that both work if we're patient and taking turns." There was no way I was going to just lay here without doing anything!

               "I'm not turning that down," announced Lexie. "We were more than happy to give you a little show to get you in the mood, then take care of you afterwards, but I'm not going to say no to including you in this!"

               "So how can we do this? I'm not too mobile, so what are your thoughts?" I wondered. I was a little nervous, because I hadn't been with anyone in so long, and for all I knew I'd be done in 30 seconds with 2 stunning women helping.

               Willow stood up and started stripping out of her clothes. Shorts, tee shirt, panties and bra were all folded neatly, and put atop the dresser while Lexie and I watched. "Well, I'm ready!"

               Lexie scrambled to follow, standing up and almost tripping while she yanked her clothes frantically over her head. Willow sank to her knees next to me, gently tugging at the bottom of the oversized tee shirt I was wearing and helping to slip it over my head. I was already braless, as the straps overlapped the rib injury, and she smiled greedily as she took in the sight of my breasts.

               "Damn! No starting without me!" Lexie complained while struggling to get her socks off.

               "I'm just helping Jesse get naked. We're waiting on you!" Willow promised. She helped get the sweatpants off too, and then examined the pouched thong I was wearing. Yeah, they were men's underwear, but they were the best thing for the leather pants I used to wear. Maybe I could get a different style since I doubted that I'd be wearing the leather as often as I used to. "I like these."

               "They'd look better on the floor though!" Lexie muttered as she helped me get those off. She'd finally got her clothes off and left them in a pile on the floor.

               "Now, you just relax and let us take care of you," Willow told me. "We'll let you help, but we have to make sure you don't hurt yourself."

               "You better enjoy this while you can," I told them.

               "Why?" Lexie asked, confused.

               "Because if you think you're topping me when I'm better, then you're sorely mistaken."

               "Promises, promises!" Willow said as she leaned in, capturing my lips with her own while Lexie kissed her on the back of the shoulder.

               Yeah, I think we could make this work.
