worry
about and take care of you so I want to hear you say it." He shook my shoulders
playfully. As we were about to get serious again, maybe have another round of
morning goodness there was a knock on the door. "What the..." He
broke off his sentence as he left the bed. Pulling on his pajama bottoms he
headed for the door.
    "The kids
wanted to see their father." That's all I heard the bitch say before he
turned and looked back at me. The look on his face was priceless he was pissed.
He turned back to her and I could tell he reined it in for the kids' sake.
"Leave." One word, not even shouted but the way he said it, I hope he
never got that mad at me. Sharon took Katie and Crystal's hands and scurried
away.
    Poor thing, he had a
houseful of bitches to deal with. He came back to kiss me goodbye before
heading out the door with an apology. I stayed in bed a little longer,
pondering his words. Trying to find the best course of action to deal with my
new reality. It was obvious that he had feelings for me; it was also obvious he
had feelings for them. I could let that shit consume me, or I could sulk till I
get my way.
      Somehow I don't think sulking is gonna make him do away with his daughters and his wives. It
will be hard watching him have any kind of intimate interaction with them I'm
sure. That's what I needed to concentrate on, how to deal with the fuck storm
that that was going to bring on. I hope this little valley was ready for the
storm of the century cause no matter what, a bitch like me knew it was coming.

    I have to go in to
the office today. I'm a little hesitant after that stunt Sharon pulled this
morning. I'm not sure if she thinks I'm a green boy or just plain stupid. But
if she thought for one second I was going to allow her disrespect of not only
me, but Alana as well she was sorely mistaken. In order for me to keep order in
my home, things had to work both ways. There was only one ruler in my house and
that was me. As the head of my family that's my position, I will not brook any
form of insubordination, from anyone.
    Allowances had to be
made for Alana obviously because she was new to this. I expected Sharon and
Arlene to make her feel welcomed. I wouldn't force friendships between them
though it was my wish that they all got along. But I did expect, and will
demand respect for each other. In all the years they've been with me neither of
them has ever pulled his stunt before, which told me they were even more
threatened by her than I first thought if they were willing to incite my wrath.
      "Sharon, a word with you please ." I found her in the kitchen with Arlene in deep
hushed conversation. I took in her pinched features with a sigh. When did she
decide that I was her pet to be led around on a leash? Had I become so
disinterested in my life that I had allowed her these liberties without
realizing it? Whatever the case may be I was going to put a stop to it and
right quick.
    "You want to explain what that was about
this morning?" I kept a tight rein on my anger, patience was needed here
not a hot head.
    "What, what did I do that was so wrong? I would think that
after not seeing them for two weeks you would want to spend as much time as
possible with your children before going back to work.
    "So now you're questioning my love for my
children?" I guess she finally caught on to her plight when she heard the
cold fury in my voice. Her quick step back might’ve been a very wise move on
her part. I don’t think I’ve ever been this pissed at her before.
    "I didn't mean...I..." She folded her
arms and looked down.
      "Do you want to go
spend some time with your family Sharon?"
    "Oh no please don't send me away..." Her eyes were
suddenly wide with fright.
    "I'm not sending you away, I just think you
might need some time away. You see I want, no need, my wife to feel comfortable
in her new home. Just as I wanted you to be when you first got here. But since
you seem to be having a problem understanding
