Everyone's here finally. Alana has a spread that she made with the help of Mrs. Brewster of all people. Her and the elderly lady had grown quite close in the last few months for which I'm grateful. They spend most of their time together baking and she was teaching Alana how to knit, which I guess would come in handy now.

Our parents were here as well as my wives and my daughters, along with Mrs. Brewster, whom Alana seems to have adopted as her surrogate grandmother. We had decided to make the announcement after dinner and since that was almost at an end, I leaned over from my place at the head of the table to Alana who sat on my right and whispered in her ear. "You ready?"

"Let's clear first and then we'll tell them in the sitting room while we have our coffee."

"You're not having any coffee." She rolled her eyes at me.

"You know what I mean drill sergeant."

Sharon cleared her throat at my left but I ignored her. She's been acting up more and more lately and I was about at the end of my rope. I really didn't know what she wanted from me. I hadn't done anything differently as far as my wives were concerned except to try to make Alana feel settled and welcomed. If she couldn't see that her behavior was one of the reasons I had to spend more time reassuring the younger girl of her place in our lives then I was afraid she would always be unhappy. I was beginning to think she thought she owned or ruled me. Where she got such an idea from was beyond me. It’s as though she’d forgotten the way things were when she’d first become my wife. How I’d catered to her and done everything to make things easier for her as well. Too bad for her I’m not about to slight Alana to appease whatever the hell she had going on in her head.

After I’d settled it in my head and my heart that Alana was the love of my heart I’d had a hard time. I felt guilty for the longest time. I’ve even been over compensating for it, but nothing was good enough. She spent our alone time complaining. Why she would think that was the right course of action is anyone’s guess. All it did was make me dread those nights when I had to visit her bed.

Arlene I’d got to come around a little. Her I could talk to rationally and get her to see why I did the things I did. Of the three she was the one who’d had to give up the most. She was my only wife for almost two years before Sharon came along. Not once had we ever discussed the situation because it was just a given. Something she knew was coming eventually. I listened to her anxiety and reassured her the best I could. But I’d also warned her again that if she joined with Sharon against Alana things would not turn out well for her.
