That night, SunYoung started to clean up after her new husband. Bill wanted to prove to his wives he could help them with the household chores, he started to make dinner and SunYoung wasn’t happy about it. She was raised to be a good wife, to clean, cook and take care of the house.

She decided she would tell everything to her family back in China. She mailed them a long, long letter explaining all the details. But she didn’t tell them about her new polygamous lifestyle, they didn’t need to know that and Bill would be mad if she did.

Later, while Bill was still attempting to make dinner for the three of them, she started to tend the garden. She was raised to do that too and she wanted to get on Blair’s good side. She was gone for the night and SunYoung was grateful. She knew she would have to do the same thing when wife #3 arrived, but there was plenty of time to get used to that.

The next morning, Blair and SunYoung had breakfast together while Bill went to the City Hall to arrange his second wife’s papers. They had a nice little chat, but they were aware of the fact that they had both slept with the same guy and they both loved him. None of them came from a polygamous family and this new arrangement that made Bill so happy was making them really nervous. They had to talk about the inevitable, they had to arrange Bill’s sleeping calendar.

They decided that, as they didn’t go anywhere for their honeymoon, SunYoung would sleep with Bill that night. And after that, they would share him, alternating nights. Blair was the first wife, it was her duty to organize everything, that’s what Bill had explained her. But she was a little nervous about it, she didn’t know if she would be able to bypass her jealousy and take care of SunYoung’s kids as if they were their own. Anyway, she knew she wouldn’t have to think about it yet and life got into a nice routine after a while.

Well, that moment wasn’t so far ahead, SunYoung had been vomiting every morning for a month and she hadn’t said anything to anyone. She was scared of telling Blair. She knew Bill would be very happy about it, but she didn’t know how Blair was going to react.

She had been writing a book in the library for the past month and she was very happy about it. Her lifelong wish had nothing to do with it, but she felt useful for the family. She didn’t have a job, she had to wait until her papers were ready, and she thought that was the perfect way of doing something besides eating all the food.

One day, while she was writing, she felt something kick her stomach. She got up and touched her belly, that might have been a kick of her little baby. She couldn’t wait and went to the doctor immediately and he confirmed her suspicions: She was pregnant.

Meanwhile, Blair had decided to do something else, besides working, to get some extra money. She started fishing. Blair would stay until late at night at the park across the street, fishing. She liked it a lot and it was a way to deal with her thoughts. She wasn’t so sure anymore about the polygamy thing, but she didn’t want to break up the family. Besides, there was the fact that she wasn’t pregnant yet and they’ve been trying for a long time.

That night, when Blair got home, she found out the news: SunYoung was pregnant. She felt like a failure. That chinese girl had been with them just for a couple of months and she was already pregnant. Blair had been trying for a long time before she got there and she hadn’t been pregnant, not even once. She was angry, she wanted to have Bill’s first baby, but SunYoung had robbed her of the possibility.
And she was sleeping on her bed too.

Bill was ecstatic. He wanted a baby, he had wanted a baby for a long time and, even though he and Blair had been trying, she was still not pregnant. But right then, his second wife did it, she got pregnant and Bill was proud. He wanted to be the best dad ever and he started to read every pregnancy book he could find at the library.

Blair, in the meantime, decided to tend her garden and keep her hands busy, she didn’t want to kill her sister-wife on the spur of the moment. She wanted to come to terms with SunYoung’s pregnancy, but it was harder than she thought it would be. Blair liked her, she didn’t love her yet, they where not friends and she sensed that was the problem. She thought that Bill had done everything wrong by not giving them the opportunity to get to know each other.

SunYoung was using all the time she had on her hands to work on her lifelong wish: mastering the guitar and the painting. She started with the guitar Bill had given her when he found out about the pregnancy. She would spend hours at a time, playing for herself and the baby.

While Blair stood right next to her, painting in the easel Bill had gotten her when he found out about SunYoung’s pregnancy. She didn’t have to do it, but she wanted to, that way she would be close to her sister-wife for a long time, whenever she wasn’t at work, and that could help their relationship.

Bill continued his daily logic study at the library. He was determined to become a special agent and nothing could get him of the track. Not even his wives.

Some days, SunYoung still went to the library to keep writing her book. She was getting good at it and she liked it very much. That is, until the computer broke. Someone else would have been devastated, but not SunYoung. She tried to fix it, despite not knowing how to do it. She just pulled out a screwdriver and started to poke the computer with it.

Surprisingly, it worked.

Bill and Blair would still sleep together, but Blair didn’t want to try for baby anymore. She wanted all the fuss of SunYoung’s pregnancy to wear off before she got pregnant. And she wanted to make sure SunYoung over her as a sister before asking her to babysit for her kids.

A few weeks later, Blair was making breakfast when she had a revelation. It was not about poisoning her sister-wife to avoid her having the first baby, but the thought crossed her mind. No, it was about them, the three of them were going to be the baby’s parents. Not just Bill and SunYoung, Blair was one of the wives, and that made her one of the mommies.

She talked to SunYoung about it and she sounded relieved when she answered. SunYoung was as stressed as she was about the baby. She was as scared as Blair and she never wanted to have all of Bill’s attention. She didn’t want to have the first-born, she just wanted to have Bill’s babies. And she was so relieved when she heard Blair’s explanation, she wanted to be on her good side.

Later that day, when Bill woke up, he went straight to SunYoung’s house to talk to her belly. She was pleased, it felt really nice and she knew Bill was going to be a terrific dad.

And right then and there, Blair was passing by and she got a wonderful idea. She started to talk to SunYoung’s belly. Just as Bill had done before. Surprisingly, it felt right, it felt nice, it was a good feeling for both women and they knew they had bonded beyond every limit they had before. They were now true sister-wives. And it wasn’t because of Bill.
