Almost done? It was my ass with the knife in it, and it didn't feel good at all! Willow and Lexie were providing their support on my back as well, and the doc seemed like she was moving quickly. I tried to disassociate myself from the situation, letting my mind drift to when I was in the Iraqi dessert on assignment many years ago. One night I just sat on a sand dune, watching the sun set in the west. It was one of the last peaceful moments in my life, and as such was one of the things that I thought about most times when I struggled to sleep. But right now, it just let me relax for a few minutes until whoever was slicing up my butt was done.

Beyond Bella, I could see an unknown pair of beautiful women, and I could tell we were in a house, not a clinic. But I was still with my little family, so I knew things must be okay. I was pretty much at everyone's mercy, so there wasn't much I could do anyway. When at last the pain ended, and my butt was feeling delightfully numb, I let out a deep breath.

"Let me put the bandage on, okay?" Willow said as she wiped away the blood. I felt the adhesive on my cheek, and then finally I was done.

"Thanks," I murmured, wanting to just go back to sleep, but my head was hurting too much. "Where are we?"

"You're at our house," the blonde replied. "I'm Maya, this is my wife Stephanie, and the doctor is my other wife, Alex."

"I'm Willow, this is my fiancé Lexie, and then our friend Jesse and soon to be sister Bella."

"You're all together?" Lexie asked excitedly. "That's so great!" It didn't take a genius for me to figure out exactly what she was thinking. "How many little ones do you have?"

"We have twins, they're five. Jonah and Riley." Stephanie replied with a smile "We spent so much time out on the lake today that we used up all the sunscreen, and then Jonah scraped his knee racing around the house. I guess it was lucky that Alex ran into you when she did."

"Yeah, and I don't think I can thank you enough," Willow said sincerely.

"Those are great names!" Lexie gushed. "If we ever get settled down, we'd like to have some too."

This was hardly the time or place to have this conversation, but I couldn't fault them for being excited. We were standing in the home of three women who had exactly the kind of relationship they wanted with me, and I was the one with cold feet. I was also the one in nothing but a skimpy pair of underwear and a bra. Not my finest moment. The worst thing was that I loved them both. It wasn't that I didn't want that, to have kids and a family, and to be loved by the two of them, but I still having worried that I wasn't worthy of that with them. Some days I felt like I needed to be in the shower for hours to get all the blood off me, and I didn't want to expose them to that lifestyle.

How could they truly want to be with someone whose main job was to kill people while theirs was to save them? They may love me now, but once they saw more of my life, would they then?

"I already told you I'd help with making the babies," I reminded them groggily.

"Yes, but not on the table please!" Alex said. "Actually, no sex for a week. The wounds didn't hit anything major, but I want to keep an eye on you with the head injuries. After that, you can all resume your normal sexual activity."

"We actually haven't ummm..." Willow stammered.

"Yes, you have!" Bella cut in. "You even make us listen in the hotel!" Yes, they did. And yes, I remember listening and being very excited.

"Not with Jesse though!" Lexie retorted.

"Sounds like you're all still figuring things out," Maya cut in. "Can we offer you some food, since you're here?"
