Chapter 97: Bake Me A Cake As Fast As You Can
I guess life wouldn't be life without good 'ole "Murphy's
Law" and we
certainly weren't immune. The next morning as we sat down to breakfast,
Pita was serving pancakes. Leeya took one bite, wretched, covered her
mouth and took off like a shot for the powder room. I think everyone was
thinking the same thing at the same time and that was, Déjà vu: Monaavi,
pancakes, sick… Leeya's pregnant!
In anticipation of their group pregnancy, Miko had bought a bunch
of
home pregnancy test kits. Mom bolted after Leeya as Miko headed to her
bag to retrieve a test kit.
I sat there dazed, confused and bewildered, asking myself, How
in the hell
can she be pregnant: she's still on the pill, isn't she? Naw, she can't be!
Human nature took over for a moment and I got a flash of anger,
thinking
that maybe she'd shucked her pills a month ago assuming that her getting
pregnant was a given. Once the initial panic subsided, reason took over and
I reminded myself that Leeya would never in a million years resort to a
tactic like that. There had to be an explanation to all of this.
We all sat in stunned silence as we listened to Leeya wretch in
the powder
room, not twenty feet away. We heard the toilet flush and the sink start to
run as we all sat on the edge of our seats. Mom must have closed the door
because now there was only silence. We then heard the sound of the toilet
flushing behind the closed door and the door open.
"Yippee! I'm pregnant!" we heard Leeya screech out in
glee.
Dad sank in his chair in utter disbelief and uttered, "My
little Munchkin is
gonna be a mommy????"
"Huh?" Priya, Monaavi and I exclaimed, totally
dumbfounded.
We saw Leeya flanked by Mom and Miko as they entered the breakfast
area. Leeya took off running, momentarily slipped and then made a
leaping bound into my lap, wrapping herself around me like an articulated
python!
She kissed me so hard I thought she would choke me to death trying
to
tickle my tonsils. She broke the kiss, and with tears in her eyes sang
sweetly, "Hi Daddy, your little princess is gonna have a baby!"
Still stunned, I looked at Mom and Miko. They both were wearing
cheese-
eating grins as they confirmed Leeya's revelation with nods. Miko held up
and waved the test strip with a pink plus sign on it to confirm their
findings.
I was a jumble of mixed emotions! First, I was overjoyed and
consumed
with love for the pregnant little pixie in my arms but also shocked and
confused. Resigned to the fact, I buried my head in my tiny wife's neck and
cried with joy as I embraced her tenderly.
Leeya was radiant and looked like she'd died and gone to heaven.
She cried
tears of joy as she showered my face with kisses saying, "I (kiss)
just love
you (kiss) so much (kiss) I'm (kiss, kiss) bursting (kiss) with joy!"
Leeya then laid a 50-megaton nuclear kiss on me that curled my
toes and
melted my socks it was so love-filled! When we came up for air, I gasped
out, "How? I mean aren't you still on the pill?"
"I swear, Sean," Leeya vowed crossing her heart, "I
haven't missed a day, I
promise. I don't know how or why, but I'm going to be a mother and I'm in
heaven! You know the Koran forbids abortion, so it looks like I get to keep
it, right?"
"Of course, silly girl," I chuckled.
"No, that's silly momma to you, Studley!" she quipped.
After congratulatory hugs and kisses from everyone, Pita said
she'd make
our new mommy some oatmeal. Miko and Monaavi excused themselves
from the table saying, "We'll be right back, there's something we've
got to
do," and ran up the back staircase.
I looked at Priya and she just shrugged with a giggling smirk and
said,
"One down, two to go."
Dad raised his eyes to heaven shaking his head, got up and as he
headed
out the door we heard, "Lordy, Lordy me!"
About then, Monaavi and Miko were standing by my chair with
outstretched hands and in perfect Hi-Fi stereo said, "Here!"
I looked at their outstretched hands as they presented me with two
boxes
of birth control pills. Mom looked dumbfounded at them as Priya,
Monaavi, Miko and even preggo Leeya giggled as Mom asked, "You guys
aren't serious about all three of you getting pregnant, are
you?"
"Uh huh," all four nodded and chirped in quadraphonic
surround sound.
"Holy moley!" Mom exclaimed as she shook her head in
disbelief, "I
thought you girls were just yanking Sean's chain, but you're serious
weren't
you?"
"Yeah," Miko giggled, "Ain't it great?"
"Twins…" Monaavi whimsically sighed, "Let's have
some more twins."
Pita chimed in with, "If that's the case, I want a
raise!"
Attiya: to think-even Tiya got in on it and really threw us
for a loop when
she interjected, "Monaavi, Miko, if you don't need 'em, give them to
Tina and
me."
"Now wait just a God damn minute!" Mom shouted as she
slammed her fist
on the table.
Tina and Tiya looked at each other devilishly, giggled and blushed
when
Tiya admitted, "Gosh, Auntie, I was only joking!"
We all heaved a collective sigh of relief!
I was no good after that. I took Monaavi and Miko's
contraceptives, and
with them looking on, gave them a smile as I dropped them in the trashcan.
Oh well, in for a penny, in for a pound as they say.
Leeya hates oatmeal and started to push it away when Miko scolded,
"You'd better eat that or I'll have to spank your pregnant little
tushy! You're
eating for two now and you'd better remember that."
Leeya, now regaling in her newfound condition, smiled and greedily
ate her
breakfast (after gagging twice). My stomach was in knots with butterflies
flitting around and couldn't eat. I called Dr. Simpson and left a message
with his service to call me at his earliest convenience.
Leeya danced her little preggo-jig for about twenty minutes
singing "Rock-
A-By-Baby”. Dr. Simpson called back about thirty minutes later. I gave him
the news and said that Leeya hadn't missed any of her pills and asked how
this could happen.
He said he wasn't sure talking over the phone, but a few days wait
until her
appointment wouldn't make any difference one way or the other now and
told me to bring any medications she'd taken recently along with her birth
control pills and we'd sort it all out.
As a pregnancy gift, the girls let Leeya and I have a special
night together.
In all my life, I've never been so moved as I was that night as we made
sweet and tender love together. Leeya was just exquisite in her loving
expression and each of her five orgasms that night was glorious, daintily
squirting her sweet nectar for me twice.
As we lay together in each other's arms, she seemed to melt into
me like a
second skin. As tears of joy silently rolled down my temples, I was happy
for my little Munchkin. She now had her lifelong dream come true and she
was certainly in her glory.
Two days after we'd been the beneficiaries of Murphy's Law, we
were at Dr.
Simpson's office waiting our turn. The three women, all in various stages
of
pregnancy, looked at my four wives and I very quizzically to say the least.
While we waited, I filled out all the necessary forms and gave Molly, his
secretary my insurance card to photocopy.
After a ten-minute wait Mary, his nurse, led us back to the exam
room. She
gave Leeya a dressing gown and asked her to strip, put it on then climb on
the table and wait for the doctor. Leeya sat on the table, comfortable as a
pig in slop, swinging her legs back and forth with glee. I stood next to
her
as the other girls stood next to a seated Priya.
Mary took Leeya's blood pressure, and then hauled her off to get her
weight
and height (four-foot nine and three quarters and ninety pounds). She
returned, took her seat back on the table and began to swing her legs
again,
humming gleefully to herself with a smile on her lips.
Dr. Simpson knocked twice then he and Mary entered with a friendly
smile
and hello. I started to talk and he shushed me saying, "Leeya's the
patient,
not you, let her speak. If she's old enough to have a baby, she's
certainly old
enough to talk to her doctor."
"Yes sir," I replied meekly after being duly put in my
place. Why is it that
the father is basically the sperm donor and takes a back seat to all of
this?
Oh well, it's her time, let her enjoy it!
"Hmmm," he said as he looked at her chart very
professionally, "So, little
miss, it seems you think you've got a little one in there (tapping her
stomach) right?
"Yup, sure do," Leeya said confidently, "At least
that's what the test showed
and I've got some morning sickness also: stated two days ago."
"If this is true," he informed us, "According to
your last period, your due
date is… June fifteenth."
"Oh goody, goody, goody!" Leeya giggled.
"Well," he said soothingly, "Those tests are pretty
accurate but we still need
to draw some blood to make it official. Now pull down your gown a little so
I can examine your breasts."
Leeya blushed and giggled as she pulled on the tie string, "I
haven't got any
breasts: just some weird looking nipples."
When her breasts were exposed, Dr. Simpson began to examine
Leeya's
breasts and he put her at ease by saying, "For a girl your age, you've
got
lovely breasts: be proud of what you have. I know you helped nurse Priya's
child so we know they work just like God intended, right?"
Leeya nodded affirmatively and with pride (she blushed a little
too). "Looks
fine up top," the doctor said as he pulled her gown up over her
shoulders,
"Lay down here and put your feet in these stirrups please."
Leeya obeyed and the doctor coated his gloved fingers with some KY
and
rubbed his fingers together. He placed his left hand on Leeya's abdomen
and as he started to give her an internal exam said soothingly, "This
may be
uncomfortable for you and I apologize but it's necessary. I'll do it as
quickly
as I can, okay?"
Leeya, now a little frightened, nodded. He finished in about
twenty seconds
and finished by removing his hand and pulling off his gloves with a snap,
discarding them in the trash.
As he pulled over an ultrasound machine he said, "You feel
pregnant to me,
let's see what we can see, okay?"
He lubed up a probe and slowly inserted it inside Leeya's vagina
as we
watched the screen. He pointed to a little dot and said, "See that
tiny
speck? That's your baby. According to your last period, it looks to be the
normal size for being about five weeks pregnant. Congratulations,
Mommy!"
As we all watched the tiny speck on the screen, Leeya had tears
running
down her temples as she saw the first signs of life growing in her womb.
When Dr. Simpson saw her tears, he printed out a photo of the image and
handed to her with a fatherly smile. Needless to say, there wasn't a dry
eye
in the room. He finished up, gave Mary some tissues and she cleaned
Leeya's vulva. When she was finished, she helped Leeya sit up then left.
After making some notes on Leeya's chart, he turned in his chair,
looked
over his glasses and asked, "Well little lady, let's try and figure
out how you
got to be in a family way, shall we? Let me see your medications."
I fished out Leeya's birth control pills and an empty bottle of
Ampicillin.
He shot Leeya a look and asked, "What were these for?"
"I had Strep about a month ago," Leeya answered, "and
that's what the
doctor gave me."
"Hmmm," he replied cryptically, "did you tell him
you were on the pill?"
"No," Leeya said, "I never thought about it."
"Hmmm, I see," he answered as he looked at her birth
control pills.
He stopped, looked again as if noticing something and asked,
"When did
you get this prescription filled?"
"About a month before I got sick," Leeya answered,
"Why?"
He humphed and replied as he pointed to the box, "Because
they’re out of
date, that's why."
We all gasped as he continued, "You, young lady, are a victim
of two
unfortunate circumstances. First, you were taking an out of date pill,
which
reduces its effectiveness and you took Ampicillin. This antibiotic reduces
the effectiveness of the pill even more. In effect, it was like you were
almost
not taking the pill at all: that's how you got pregnant my dear."
I was pissed to say the least! I asked, "How can something
like this
happen?"
"Unfortunately it does," he replied over his glasses.
"People are human.
Druggists get so many shipments, especially birth control pills, sometimes
they don't even check the dates because they rely on the quality control of
the manufacturer. Leeya may very well have caught on that fact alone: it
happens in the US and Canada about three million times a year. Couple
that with the antibiotic and you've got a sure fire way to get pregnant.
What
can you do? In order to sue the druggist, you have to prove intent, and I'm
sure that's not the case. Even if you win on negligence, what are you gonna
do, abort the child?"
"No!!"
Leeya shrieked.
"No, no," I answered shaking my head, "we'd never
do a thing like that."
"Look Leeya, Sean, ladies," Dr. Simpson addressed us as
he took off his
glasses, "Leeya wanted to get pregnant anyway and it just happened a
month or two early. Just be happy that Leeya's healthy, wants this child,
as
do all of you, and get on with your lives. As for the logistics, we'll
deliver
her baby at Union Memorial Hospital. They have a good OB wing and she'll
get excellent care. I'll take care of the birth certificate issue, so just
relax.
Leeya, Poppa and Mommas, enjoy your new bundle and prosper, whadda
ya say?"
"She'll be all right?" I asked, now frightened for my
little mommy.
"Leeya's small," he answered comfortingly, "but
she's healthy and strong.
We'll take good care of her. She'll be fine."
Turning to Leeya he said, "I know you're very mature,
especially where kids
are concerned. This is your child and your body but you had
best listen to
everything Miko and I tell you. This way you can have a healthy child and
come out of this healthy enough yourself to care for your baby, do you
understand?"
"I'll be the perfect patient, Dr. Simpson," Leeya
assured him. "I promise!"
Giving Leeya a fatherly pat on the knee, he said, "Good! I
know you will.
Now get dressed and come out front. I'm going to give you a prescription
and some samples of prenatal vitamins and supplements, then send you
across the street for some blood work. Make an appointment and I'll see
you in a month, OK?"
Leeya wrapped her arms around her doctor, gave him an appreciative
hug
and a kiss on the cheek.
"That's what makes my job so rewarding," he said with a smile,
"there's
nothing like the joy of a new mother!" With that he was out the door.
After picking up Leeya's new little complimentary diaper bag full
of
goodies, samples, prescriptions and blood work order we turned to leave,
waving goodbye to Dr. Simpson as he and Mary disappeared in the exam
room with his next patient.
After getting Leeya's blood work out of the way, we went to lunch
to
celebrate. All throughout lunch the girls were yanking my chain about all
of
them getting pregnant together. Priya antagonized me by asking Miko,
"Hey Samurai, can you get your hands on some fertility drugs? Maybe
you
and Monaavi can double up. They say they're cheaper by the dozen."
I looked concerned as she grinned devilishly and giggled. Monaavi
rubbed
her stomach as if in a trance and with closed eyes like talking to the
spirits
droned, "I feel another set of twins on our horizon."
She opened her eyes as they giggled at my discomfort. As I shook
my head
at their folly I thought to myself, "Boy, I'm either crazy as a loon
or the
luckiest man alive. Hmmm… Studley… breeding three beautiful, fertile and
horny nymphs isn't such a bad job after all. Oh well, somebody's got to do
it, I'll just have to "suffer" through it!"
The next month, I was literally fucked to death! Some days at work
I'd just
sit at my desk, unable to walk my balls hurt so much! When Priya had put
me through the paces I asked her what her incentive was. She replied that
just seeing her sisters pregnant stirred her "breeding
instincts".
The next month, Miko gave Leeya all kinds of advice from pregnancy
exercises to diet. Leeya was obedient to the "T". Poor Leeya had
morning
sickness in the worst sort of way. It got so bad the first couple of months
she gave up eating breakfast all together, opting for crackers.
The month following Leeya's first appointment, Miko and Monaavi
came
into cycle. The girls were able to regulate their periods, using birth
control
pills so that each one had her period one week after the other. That way,
no
two girls would be "unavailable" at any one given time.
When it was Miko and Monaavi's window of opportunity to get
pregnant,
Priya allotted each of them one week with me exclusively during their
"Fertile time" to have a better chance of catching.
By Leeya's second check-up, Miko and Monaavi each had gone through
their first "breeding". Two days before Leeya was to return for
her third
monthly check-up, Miko was hurling in the powder room that morning.
As we listened to Miko wretch her guts up over the toilet Priya
chuckled,
"Two down, one to go."
Me, I was in my glory! Studley strikes again! This Irishman isn't
shooting
any blanks! Monaavi seemed quiet and reserved. I patted her hand and
gave her a kiss and said sweetly, "That's okay, Darling, We just haven't
hit
our stride."
Monaavi gave me a Mona Lisa smile and answered, "I think it's
too soon to
tell, but I have a feeling I'm pregnant too. Let's wait a week to be
sure."
Holy Shit, Studley's swimmers do it again!
Miko called Dr. Simpson's office and Molly squeezed Miko in with
Leeya.
What's funny is, the same three women were in the waiting room. When
they saw me filling out papers again, we got some really curious
looks!
Leeya was fine, healthy as a horse and received her referral for
her
ultrasound in three weeks. We listened to the baby's heartbeat: swish,
swish, swish… it was a glorious sound to all. Leeya cried again. Leeya had
a
tiny little belly bulge and didn't even look pregnant, having gained only
five
pounds. Dr. Simpson gave Miko the same exam he'd given Leeya a few
months ago and after giving Miko the once over, confirmed that she was
also with child. Her due date was August tenth. He shook his head while
looking at Monaavi and asked, "Well, aren't you going to join the
parade?"
Monaavi smiled and said she thought she was pregnant but wanted to
wait
a week. Dr. Simpson just shook his head and said, "Well, let's be
quick
about it if you're not shy, just undress and get up on the table. We might
as
well make this a trifecta as long as you're here."
Monaavi undressed with all of us present and got on the table
nude. After
examining her breasts, Dr. Simpson gave her an internal and a sonogram,
and confirmed she was indeed pregnant. Her due date was August twenty-
first. He said it was way too soon to tell, but it looked to him to be a
single
pregnancy.
As Dr. Simpson was adding to Monaavi's chart, she got dressed and
Priya
asked Monaavi, "How'd you know? You haven't even been sick yet?"
"I just knew," Monaavi smiled radiantly.
"Women who've been pregnant before," Dr. Simpson added,
"don't always
get morning sickness: each pregnancy is different and they're more in tune
with their bodies, having gone through it before."
That made sense. When Monaavi and Miko both got the necessary
vitamins, scripts, supplements and goody bags those three women about
fainted on the spot! Next up was Leeya's sonogram at Union Memorial in
two weeks. This was going to be another family event.
Leeya had a premonition the first time I came in her when she was
five
years old that her first child would be a girl and when Emmy died, swore
she'd name her Emily Marie, we'd soon find out.
When we left for the lab to get two sets of blood work done, the
cell phones
had already been speed dialed. Miko called her sister Madoka. She actually
peed herself with joy and swore she'd work the rest of the day sans panties
to celebrate. I had the devilish thought it might have been fun to be at
work
today just to make Madoka blush. Miko next called the crew at GBMC and
spilled the beans. She said she was going to wait to call Jun this evening,
not wanting to call when her father was home.
Priya let Monaavi call Mom and break the news about her and Miko.
Monaavi also called her parents and got them outta bed. We could hear
Ravi over the phone from three feet away!
After another celebratory lunch, we went shopping and bought Leeya
a new
crib and dresser for our baby munchkin. We already had two cribs from the
twins and Miko and Monaavi opted to use these and allow Leeya to have
the new one. After purchasing Leeya's baby furniture we headed home.
From the day Leeya hurled in the powder room, she had been
slathered
with cocoa butter four times a day and showed no signs of any stretch
marks yet. Miko and Monaavi started also and all three continually smelled
like cocoa tanning beauties.
Miko called her mother that evening and they spoke for about an
hour. Jun
spoke to Mom, Priya and I and spent about fifteen minutes talking to the
pregnant munchkin. All in all, it was a very emotional conversation. Jun
said she'd inform Miko's father about her condition and they'd play it by
ear. Again, Miko seemed ambivalent about it.
Priya shone as 'first wife' the next couple of weeks, even though
she kind of
felt left out of things. With all three in the same condition, Leeya, Miko
and
Monaavi seemed to migrate to one another, consulting Monaavi at every
turn about pregnancy issues. I could tell Priya felt left out a little but
she
understood and was proud and excited for them anyway, being supportive
at every turn.
All three women were radiant in their new state of motherhood,
especially
Leeya. Priya may be my soul mate, but Leeya and I share a love that's
beyond words and her slowly swelling belly only visually reinforced that
growing and deepening love we shared.
I was sitting in my office just pondering my wives in my heart and
realized
that I was blessed more than any man had a right to be! In many ways,
Leeya has always seemed to exhibit such a deep, innocent and all-
consuming love for me there were times in our life when I felt she loved me
more than Priya did. Now with child, Leeya would often revert to an
innocent, vulnerable child, treasuring our times of cuddling and me
showering her with affection. Although outwardly strong and mature, when
she was with me she always expressed a sweet tenderness I've only
experienced with her. It would play itself out that throughout her
pregnancy, Leeya and I made some of the most sweet and tender love
together that in remembrance, still brings me to tears. While she was
pregnant, I never once "fucked" her pussy: we always made love.
Here tiny
little ass was another matter. Whenever Leeya squirted while she was
pregnant, she tasted even sweeter than before! Never a gusher, Leeya
would always delicately spray her nectar with a moan and love doing it.
I was always saddened by the fact, and even more so now that Leeya
was
pregnant, that her mother had been gone from her life and the abuse she'd
suffered at her hand for four and a half years, and on top of that her
father
had disappeared and was never heard from again. Leeya had channeled all
her love into me at five years old on her wedding day, and never looked
back. She was happy that she'd found her soul mate and a reason for living.
Monaavi was always the serene motherly type. Now pregnant again,
she
seemed perfectly nestled in her element. Poised, elegant and radiant, her
love was always an appreciative love. She could never get over the fact
that
the love she thought would always be requited was now her life. As
passionate as Priya, Monaavi's love was a deep raging furnace: even more
so when she's with child, and she was always hungry to express that love
tenderly.
Monaavi felt more at ease with her state in life and being
constantly
involved with children was a dream she always felt thankful to God for.
Deeply devout, Monaavi gloried in the fact that she was giving God another
soul to worship Him. Monaavi was always more amorous when pregnant
and she hungrily expressed it without inhibition. She would cum so hard
and loved that she could ejaculate for me in volumes. She once told me that
it felt as if she was pouring out her love for me, as I did for her
whenever I
gave her my gift.
Miko? Miko was in total awe of me and worshipped me without
condition.
Miko never quite put her past behind her, somehow feeling she didn't
deserve the love we shared. There were many nights I held her as she cried,
holding her belly and cradling the life within in such awe. Having seen the
miracle of life daily, she still couldn't believe that this miracle was
hers to
have also. Miko was a true submissive and I always had to remind myself
never to take advantage of her vulnerability. I think she let herself go
completely only because she trusted I'd never ever hurt her. A consummate
lover, her only goal in life was to please me and she withheld nothing from
me.
It seemed so paradoxical to me that a woman who swore she was in
control
of her destiny when we courted and was very assertive, would be totally
submissive to my every whim. All the days of my life, I'd always treasure
her gift of submission to me and treat her like a vulnerable child. Like a
child, she always needed reassurance that she pleased me and beamed with
pride when I'd compliment her.
Three women: all different, each with special gifts that enriched
my life.
I've always felt humbled that I've been fortunate enough to see so many
aspects of love expressed with uniqueness from four different women. If
God created anything more wondrous than a woman, He certainly kept it
for Himself!
When I called to make Leeya's ultrasound appointment, I asked for
the
largest room available, knowing that this would be a family affair. The
entire family arrived for the great unveiling. Pita sat in the waiting room
with the younger girls while Dad bounced Malina on his knee.
Mom, my three wives and I accompanied a cramping Leeya to the
ultrasound room. After taking all the necessary fetal measurements, Leeya
bolted to the bathroom to relive her bursting bladder. She returned with a
smile of great relief and climbed back up on the table.
Laura, the technician, informed everyone present that Leeya's
child was
perfectly normal, healthy and growing nicely. The baby, according to all
the
measurements, was small but within the normal range and developing
perfectly.
"Well Laura," Leeya asked expectantly, "Is it a boy
or a girl?"
"Let's see now," Laura replied as she moved the probe on
Leeya's belly,
"Right now it's doing tumblesalts, let's see if it's shy. Hmmm, There!
See?
It's a girl! Boy she sure has fat labia, there's no mistaking her for a
boy!"
"YES!"
Leeya exclaimed pumping her
fist, "I just knew it!"
Laura smiled and said, "Wait a second, I've got a surprise
from Dr.
Simpson."
She rose while Leeya and I were kissing with joy and everyone else
was
tittering with glee and pulled over another, bigger machine. After rolling
the first machine out of the way, she fired up the new equipment. She
smiled at Leeya and said, "We just got this machine a week ago. It
gives a
3D image and we can see exactly what your little girl looks like."
She put the probe to Leeya's tummy and we immediately saw a bent
leg in
perfect imagery. Moving the probe, she settled on our little girl's face as
we
watched her with closed eyes sucking her thumb.
Mom gasped and fell to her knees exclaiming, "Oh My God!
Leeya, she
looks just like Emmy as a baby!"
Everyone started bawling profusely as Leeya wept out, "My God
has heard
my plea!"
Laura printed out two prints of little Emmy Marie as we stood
transfixed
by the image on the screen.
Leaving the exam room on cloud nine, Leeya was the shit! She
proudly
sauntered out to my Dad, sat on his knee and cried softly saying,
"Poppy,
my little Emmy is doing just fine!"
My father wept like a child as he held his little Munchkin
praising God. My
mother was so overcome she was running on autopilot. Priya was crying so
hard, Monaavi and Miko had to help her to the car. The girls were like
little
fairies, flitting hither and yon with childish joy. Just before Priya got
into
the Expedition, she turned to Leeya, and as they embraced lovingly, Priya
said, "Leeya, I'm so happy for you! Your vision has come true! God has
given us a special blessing and He chose you to bring her to us!"
As we rode home entwined in each other's arms, I thought to
myself, "I
don't deserve such a blessing from God! My cup truly runneth over!"
Looking back, from that moment on Leeya became almost a carbon
copy of
Monaavi: a perfect, devout Muslim mother. Leeya has always approached
life head on; doing rather than thinking and always seeming to know what
her fate in life was to be. Gifted with children and a mother, content to
deal
with all the pains and rigors that it entailed with joy, grace and love.
With two more of my wives bearing fruit, life certainly doesn't
get any
better than this!
