it's just you'd probably think I was crazy or delusional or something."

She replied with a wink, "You ARE crazy; nothing new there!" Then she dropped the humor and said, "David, you know you can tell me anything."

I said, 'ok' and proceeded to tell her the full story: how had the dream about Katie; the 'TV' she wanted me to watch; the apartment fire; and, ultimately, seeing Katie through the fire finder and telling us to get out seconds before the building collapsed. Cherry just listened in silence; making no attempts to dismiss it away as a case of imagination or some other logical explanation. Instead, she just hugged me tight to her and said, 'thank you, Katie'. Physically and emotionally exhausted, we went to bed.

The next morning, I called Bill (Katie's Dad) and told him about what had happened the previous day. He stayed quiet throughout the explanation and I wondered if he even believed me. When I finished the story and he still didn't say anything more than an accepting 'ok', I was sure he didn't believe me.

I said, "I know how crazy it seems, Bill. But have no reason to make this up; I hope you believe me."

Bill said, "No, know you wouldn't make it up; I believe you. Thank you for telling me-1 just don't know what to say about it."

I told him that I understood and the conversation struggled to continue after that. I ended it by assuring him that I would let him know if anything else happened and he again said he would do the same for me.

Cherry continued battling Morning sickness for a week or so, and I got up with her each time. Right around the time the sickness subsided for good, Olivia and Amanda called to ask when they could see us about our agreement. We set a date to meet at our place to discuss the details. They were excited and nervous at the same time. Quite frankly, I was a bit nervous, too.

The day came for the meeting and Cherry was still not showing since she was only about two months along. And, just as Olivia had done about the news of her getting married, she chose not to tell them about her pregnancy. Amanda and Olivia handed us a packet of papers which prompted us to ask what it was for. All of the papers, they explained, were for our benefit. The packet Included things like notarized statements that said we (1) would not be responsible for any child support; there were medical lab

results that showed they were free of any diseases (like STD's); the

list went on from there, but it looked like it was all professionally prepared and it seemed a bit unnecessary, but we said nothing. There was nothing for us to sign, so it wasn't like we could object to any of it-they were basically giving us rights! I told them again about my two requirements and they both agreed in unison. I offered them to see my lab results from just before Cherry and I got married, but, unconcerned, they turned the offer down.

With everyone 'on the same page' for the arrangements, said, "

guess all we need to do now is figure out when you want to do this and where?" They both said without skipping a beat, "As soon as possible for you two.

That took me by a little surprise and before I could mention checking my work schedule, Cherry offered, "We aren't doing anything today-if today is good?"

We all looked at each other and couldn't figure out a reason for 'why not' and I asked, "Where are we going, then?"

Olivia said, "We are staying at a nice hotel a few miles from here. Shall we go there?"

Once again before I could answer, Cherry said, "That sounds good -let's gol

We followed Olivia and Amanda to their hotel and Cherry and I talked more about what we were doing.

said, "I have to be honest: I'm a little nervous about this."

I Cherry said, "Well, I think what you are doing for them is great.

Most guys wouldri't do what you are doing." I looked at her for a second to see if she was making a joke and said, "Are you kidding me? MOST guys would JUMP at the chance to do this!"

She replied, "Yeah but, the difference is all about motivation. For them, the motivation is about getting laid in a three way with two hot lesbians. But you didn't want to help them at first, you're only doing it because I said it would be ok with me and a nice way to repay Olivia. You won't even do it unless I'm there-that speaks volumes to your motivation."

Knowing she was right, I said, "Yeah, guess so. But I'm still nervous."

Cherry said, "There's nothing to be nervous about, believe me. I used to help Olivia all of the time, remember? Just 'know your heart' and you'll be fine!"

I thought for a few moments and decided to see what she thought about having the shoe on the other foot. I asked, "What if two guys wanted you to carry a baby for them? Would you do that?"

Without needing to consider It, Cherry said, "Not a chance! But

that's different!"
