Chapter 45

Monday afternoon I went to check on my B-S crew. I found them all by the
house. Noah, Elija, and Ethan were nude, along with Paul P. Dave and Allen
were dressed in just shorts but they were all laughing and having a good
time. I laughed at them and put my hands on my hips.

"We might as well call this the `Nude Boot-Strap' program!"

They turned and greeted me. Paul P glanced at my outfit. I had on one of my
new blouses and my tight, low cut shorts (not the daisy-dukes! That would
be obscene!).

He got a funny look and grabbed his shorts, putting them on quickly.  He
was pale and flushed at the same time.

"Paul, don't be embarrassed. It happens." I said kindly.

"Yeah, but you're 11. I..."

"And I'm built like a woman. I appreciate you covering up, but we see it
all the time in the community, especially the teenagers."

Ethan clapped him on the shoulder. "Dude, relax. She's not offended and
none of us think you're a perv. She's a beautiful girl and she knows it."

He still looked guilty. "Paul, it's my fault, I'm sorry. I'll wear more
conservative clothes when I come by."

"Abby, you can wear what you want. I'll get over it soon enough." He
sighed.

"At least she's not nude too!" Noah said, chucking at our encounter in the
woods.

I wanted to be, but I was afraid poor Paul P would blow a
gasket. "Besides," Elija said, "we should probably get back to work. We've
goofed off the entire afternoon."

The other men put their underwear and shorts back on, staying shirtless.

Ethan took me to show me his blackberry hedge. They were already about a
foot tall. "Nice! You'll have a hedge and harvest by next fall!"

"Yeah, this is great soil."

He showed me the beginnings of a RMH he was building in his yurt and
explained how he'd import straw to insulate it better and have mulch for
next season.  He also had a brooder full of chicks hooked to a couple solar
panels and a golf cart battery.

"These new heaters are super efficient.  And they only kick on when the
chicks get near it.  It only took them a couple hours to learn what it
was. I plan on letting them go broody and hatching more once they are old
enough." I nodded and admired his work on the brooder. His annual garden
was growing well too.

I checked on the rest of the guys, reminding them that the school teachers
would be back soon and the rest would be there next weekend. There were
going to be 3 women, 2 single ladies that might not appreciate a bunch of
naked guys running around. I decided to put a `clothing optional' sign at
the house too so they would have plenty of warning.

I went back home and ordered the sign.

The next weekend, Kelley, Julie and I went to meet the new people and put
the sign in the house.  Kelley stayed shirtless (hopefully Dave and Allen
don't have any `issues'), wearing just cargo shorts. Julie and I wore
t-shirts and and shorts. My T was a little tight across the bosom but not
so to cause a problem (I hoped). We arrived at the house but they were all
working.

I led them to the new sites where we met Tanya.  She was rugged, but
pretty, mid 30's with gorgeous green eyes. Her hair was long, almost to her
waist, and braided back casually.

"Hi, you must be Tanya. I'm Abby." I said, sticking out my hand.

"Yep, hi Abby" she shook like a man and had callouses. I introduced Kelley
and Julie and we sat down in the dirt to chat.  She'd had a conventional
farm, but lost it when her husband died of cancer. She'd bounced around for
a while, living off his life insurance, until one of her friends introduced
her to permaculture. She'd taken a PDC online but never had any hands on
work.  I invited her up to the house to see the RMH and then took her to
the men's sites so she could see a little in person.  She was going to
build a log cabin her first year, help the others in exchange for knowledge
and experience, and get full in the next season.  I showed her the sources
of clay and other materials to build her heater and suggested she buy Ernie
and Erika's book.  I explained that a new edition was coming out, but she
didn't need to buy that one since it wouldn't be applicable to her
plans. Then I told her that the house seemed to be the main focal point for
gatherings. I warned her that the men would talk to her about nudism when
they got to know her better

Next was Nicole. She was almost as short as me, pretty with a nice body,
and full of energy. She worked in the next town over and had a little
apartment.  She'd read about permaculture from a magazine she picked up and
listened to all of Paul's podcasts.  She'd watched a few videos, but still
was clueless about what it all meant. I showed her what a contour line was
and how to measure it, took her to see the RMH (she noticed the sign
propped against the wall and laughed), and showed her the other sites. Paul
P looked happy to have an adult to fantasize about.  Back at her site, I
told her the guys were nudists and that they'd all have to figure out
scheduling or proper attire.

Linda and Sam wouldn't be back till the end of the month, but they had
emailed that they had transferred schools and would be by more often next
fall.

I gave Nicole my number and told her to call me before she made any big
improvements on the land that would be hard to undo. She called me the very
next day, not understanding the A frame level. I went out, helped her
re-build it, and walked it along a few yards, planting flags as I went.
She did the next 30 feet and then looked at the line of flags. "Now I get
it! Thanks Abby!" She gave me a tight hug and started on the next row. I
moved her a little further away, explaining she needed a walk way. I left
her to it and went home.

All the following week, our families worked on school (Kelley was prepping
for college), made love, exercised, and hung out.

Saturday, the 13 of us (Grandma and Dave included) went for my
rounds. Tanya's logs had been delivered and she already had walls chest
high up. I watched as she shifted a log into place. Wow, she was strong. We
moved closer to watch. She marked and chiseled out the new log and it
thumped into place.

She smiled at us. "The first couple courses were a challenge, I've never
done this before it took me all day to get the first course level and
square. Now it's coming along great."

"Wow, it looks awesome! And you're doing it all yourself?"

"Mostly, Ethan and Elijah offered to help once it gets above my
head. They're such nice guys, they are a little worried I'll hurt myself."
She'd also pitched a tent and had a fire ring out of stones from the
woods. Each plot had some woods that was `theirs'.  "I told Paul he could
log my plot and we'd split the profit."

"You guys are going to leave a Zone 5 right?" This was one of my
stipulations for wildlife.

"Sure are. The last thing I want is to be kicked off another piece of
property."

We moved on and saw that Linda and Sam were setting up their camp. "Welcome
back!" I said and hugged them both.

"Hey Abby, it's good to be back. We have a lot of catching up to do, thank
you so much for weeding the garden for us." Linda said. I made
introductions again and we chatted about their plans for the year. They
wanted to finish their wofati and get a RMH built. They had cut, peeled and
stacked the logs they needed and prepped the site last year.

"That's great. Don't forget, I'm just a few minutes away if you have any
trouble."

"Thanks Abby, now with more, and hopefully more intelligent people around,
we shouldn't have to bother you." We had a little chuckle about the plot
that Ethan now occupied.

Last was Nicole. Her garden was dug and she had planted the first row. She
had listened to the gardening podcasts and was well diversified.

Though out the spring and summer, they worked hard together. Nicole, Sam
and Linda joined the nudists but everyone was comfortable with each other.
The ones that had their structures done spent the winter and they did well
as their own little community. They set up a roadside farm stand to sell
their surplus and it was very popular.  Six of the 8 plots were transferred
to life long leases over the winter, with Dave and Allen and Nichole
staying on year by year. Eventually, Dave and Allen moved away and I
re-leased their plot. Nicole ended up marring Paul P so her plot ended up
getting re-leased as well.

From the money I got from the 6 leases I bought more land and set up more
challenging plots that were completely wooded these were quickly leased as
well. Between all the work of the movement, critical mass was close at
hand.  We tipped the scales the summer I turned 15 and I had clients on
waiting lists to turn their homes into a permaculture paradise. Many others
jumped on the band-wagon, but us few that had worked so hard were still in
high demand and it was soon known that if you wanted it done right, to call
one of us. I was a huge success, as Paul said I would be.

Chapter 46

We arrived home Saturday afternoon, hot and sweaty from all the walking. We
dropped our clothes off at our homes and met at the pool for a swim.  Most
of the kids from school were there and many of their families. We splashed
and played, ate snacks from Chuck's store, and sunned. Inevitably, the boys
in the community would have to roll over or cover themselves and we saw
little boys sporting boners as they ran or swam. Parents chatted and
corrected their boys who understood but forgot.

We went home, made dinner and ate it picnic style on the front yard.  I had
planted a couple fruit trees in the yard but they weren't big enough for
shade or fruit yet. The cold winter had set them back some.

The next couple weeks went by with bliss. Kelley got his graduation
invitations in and he spent all night filling them out. All 12 of us, his
parents, grandparents and cousins were invited, all the kids from school
and Mrs Bowers got one, along with Chuck and a few other adults he'd made
friends with. Mrs Bowers announced a field trip for it and arranged a bus
to take the kids who wouldn't have rides.

Friday came and we piled in the cars to head out. We'd celebrate Kelley's
15th birthday at the resort and his parents arranged 2 more parties, one
for family and another for friends. We ended up in 3 different rooms,
scattered throughout the resort. Grandma and Dave got a single, Tom and
Barb got a double with bunks, and we got a double with a queen.  Mom and
Dad took the queen again.

We met up for dinner and after we played on the beach and did
activities. Friday night, all the couples made love, Alex and Tommy trading
beds.

Julie laid on one side of me and Kelley on the other. We made out, kissing
and touching each other, getting hotter by the second. When they both
latched on to a nipple, I came with a scream.  Julie was next with the
double-team and she came too. Julie and I 69'd each other to multiple
orgasms and Kelley fondled our bodies.

"Oh god Kelley, fuck me!" I was trembling all over for his cock.

He rammed his cock into me, making me squirt all over Julie's face. Kelley
quickly pounded me to another and Julie latched on and sucked the cum out
of me as I gushed.  I was out of my mind, cumming and shrieking biting
Julies thighs and pussy lips. When I came back to my senses, I battered her
clit with my tongue. When she came again I latched on and kept her on the
wave for a long time.

"Oh fuck! Abby stop, I can't breathe." I let her come off her wave as
Kelley continued to pound me. I came hard again, squirting myself
dry. Kelley was getting close so I clenched my pussy on his cock as Julie
attacked my clit again. I sucked hers again and we all came with in seconds
of each other. We rested, panting for a minute then Kelley eased out of me
as Julie licked his cum from my pussy. She ate my creampie to a final
orgasm. Kelley came around and fed me his cum covered cock as Julie
finished cleaning me out. We collapsed on the bed and snuggled a while.

Julie sat up. "Kelley, will you pop my cherry?" Kelley sat up too and
kissed her gently as I smiled up at them.

"I'd be honored." We got Julie all hot and bothered again and Kelley
applied the lube. He thrust into her and waited.

"Youch! Oh ow." She breathed deep, releasing the pain.  Once the pain
subsided, she nodded and Kelley began to make love to her while I kissed
and caressed her lips and body. Once she had 2 more orgasms, Kelley was
getting close. I kissed my way down her body and licked her clit. Her last
orgasm went off like a shot. Kelley pulled out and stuffed his prick in my
waiting mouth and he unloaded as I sucked the cum from his body and licked
her juices and blood off his dick. He collapsed next to Julie and I went to
get her a cool wash cloth. I gently daubed the blood and held the washcloth
to her throbbing pussy while I held her. Kelley cuddled up on the other
side as they recovered.

Julie opened her eyes and looked at Kelley. "Thank you." She said simply
and gave him a kiss. She turned to me and we gazed more deeply. After a
minute, the moment ended and we cuddled back up.

"So," I said tracing her arm with my fingertips, "still all for the girl's
team or have you stepped on the line?"

"Still all for girls." She said smiling at me. Then to Kelley, "Don't get
me wrong, you were wonderful and I love you like family."

He smiled. "I love you too."

Kelley and I cuddled Julie as we went to sleep.

By lunch on Saturday, Julie was walking normally. At dinner, the whole
restaurant sang happy birthday to Kelley. After dinner, we went to his
party. We'd rented out the hall and there were balloons and streamers
everywhere, all touting his 15th birthday. The party was a blast. All his
resort friends showed up too. We danced and sang karaoke. We had cake and a
`pin the plate to the car'. We laughed hysterically at each other as we
staggered, dizzy and tried to get the plate in the right place. Uma
actually got the closest and we cheered her. Kelley picked her up and swung
her around, giving her a big, wet, sloppy kiss on the cheek. We did gifts
and Kelley thanked all of us. The three of us walked the beach and watched
the sunset then we crawled into bed and went to sleep.

Sunday after lunch, Julie said she wanted to try a dildo. We went to our
room and I gabbed the double strap on. We lay next to each other and made
out as Kelley watched. Once we were quivering, I slid the bigger end into
my pussy and moaned with my orgasm. I fixed the straps and climbed on top
of her. Gazing deep into her eyes I slid it into her.

She gasped and stared back with joy. "Yes! Oh Abby!"

I made love to her, slowly and gently. We both teared up with
happiness. She came after a bit, but it even that was gentle and full of
love. We both came together next after a few minutes and we held each other
an our warm orgasms eased through our bodies.  I gently disentangled from
her and took the strap-on off. We lay on our sides, holding each other
close and Kelley spooned against me.

"That was beautiful" he murmured.  I took his hand and wrapped his arm
around us and we fell asleep.

We woke for dinner and then it was time to go. We kissed Kelley goodbye,
his parents still dumbfounded by our relationship, and waved, arm in arm,
as they drove away.

Chapter 47

Mom and Dad took off Friday, it was graduation day! Us kids went on the bus
with the rest of the kids, and the adults rode with Grandma and Dave in
their new Escalade. We arrived at Kelley's old town about 1 and invaded a
Denny's for lunch. The ceremony was at 3 but we arrived early and found
Kelley. He wasn't in his robes yet, but was wearing nice shorts and a polo.
The other graduates were amazed at the amount of people that swarmed
Kelley. After a bit, the principle announced that it was time for the
graduates to get ready and we found our seats. We sat with his family and
friends and there were over 50 people in Kelley's cheering section. The
graduates filed out and took their seats. The principal gave his speech and
made a point to call out Kelley as `their' youngest graduate ever (psh, as
if they had anything to do about it) then turned it over to the cum
laudes. The Magna and Suma gave their speeches and it was finally time to
call the graduates for their diplomas.  When they called Kelley's name, the
roar from our section was so tremendous, they had to pause until we settled
down before calling the next name. Of course I was taking pictures with my
new zoom lens and a borrowed camera for the wider shots. I captured his
pride and happiness perfectly.

Once the graduates had moved their tassels and tossed their
mortarboards. Kelley came over and tried to greet us all. It took him a
minute to wade through the crowd but finally he took Julie and me in his
arms. After we broke up, I saw more than a few bemused looks. His friends
wondered how he could be so lucky to have 2 beautiful girls on his
arms. They must have thought he was one hell of a playa.  His 2 closest
cousins came over and hugged us all.  His grandparents just looked
scandalized.

We went to the adjoining park for the party. It was warm, so of course
Julie and I were wearing sexy outfits. I caught a couple of his cousins and
most of the swim team checking us out. Even with all the older kids there,
we were a stunning trio.

One of his female cousins came over and whispered fiercely at Julie and I
while Kelley was distracted. "Just what in the hell do you think you're
playing at? First, you yank Kelley away from his family, then both of you
show up and act like you own him or something. Do you think this is a
GAME?!" She shouted the last word.

"Suse," Kelley started to say, defending us. But I let her have it first.

"No. This is not a game, this is our lives." I said evenly. "Kelley and I
love each other and we'll be married some day. Julie and I love each other
and we'll be part of each other's lives as long as she'll have me. Kelley
and Julie love each other, not romantically, but as family. I get it, this
is hard to understand, but how DARE you try to ruin Kelley's day by
attacking us?"

She blinked in fear as the vehemence dripped off my tongue.

"Now, I suggest you apologize to him and then bugger off."

She tried to slap me, but I was too quick. I blocked the blow and started
to walk away, taking Kelley and Julie with me.  She lunged for me but two
others held her back.

"You bitch! How could you take him from me!" We turned, surprised. I
glanced at Kelley but he just shrugged.  The entire crowd was quiet now,
watching the drama unfold. I suddenly had sympathy for the poor girl.

I walked over as she sobbed. "Suse? Susannah?" I called her name
quietly. She looked at me, makeup running. I took a hanky from my purse and
handed it to her. "Look, if I had any idea...I would have done that
differently, I'm sorry." She wiped her streaming eyes. I wanted to add
she'd been an idiot for trying this on his graduation day, but decided she
must have been desperate. "I get it, I fell into love with him as soon as I
met him. He's kind and good looking, easy to love." I still wanted to call
her an idiot for outing herself in front of the whole family, but continued
to try and be kind to this poor girl. "Someday, you'll find what Kelley and
I have. But you have to let him go.  He IS mine, and I am his. I really am
sorry that you harbored these feelings for so long. I imagine it was
terrible for you."

She sobbed harder and nodded. Then she flung her arms around me in a fierce
hug. "You'd better not break his heart, take good care of him." And with
that, she covered her face and walked off.  The party slowly wound back up,
but it had an awkwardness about it now.  Laughter was cut short, as to not
hurt Susannah's feelings anymore. His friends were less rowdy, and his
family looked embarrassed.

Susannah's father came over. "Hey uncle George." Kelley said somberly.

"Hey Kelley, congrats, we're all incredibly proud of you. You should have
been on that stage instead of that blathering idiot." He hugged his
nephew. "Girls, I'm not even gonna pretend to understand all this, but I
wanted to say I'm happy for you." He sighed. "Also, to apologize for Suse.
That's not how our family is, you understand. I can only figure that she
somehow thought that it might work out someday."

"Is it alright if I call you George?" I asked and he nodded. "George, I
empathize with her, when I met Kelley, I was broken too. Not the same way,
but I filled my broken parts with sex. To be blunt I was a slut. So you
don't have to be embarrassed of her, just love her and help her find help.
Maybe she doesn't have that neuron in her brain that makes family love
taboo. But she's in pain, and she needs your support right now."

He glanced at where Susannah was sitting alone and gave me a watery
smile. "Thanks kiddo, you'll make one hell of a psychologist someday."

I smiled and shook my head. "Not me, I get too emotional." I wiped a tear
away and looked sadly at Susannah. Then I gave him a little push. "Go, she
needs her Daddy right now."

He walked over and sat and talked to her for a minute. Then she wrapped her
arms around his neck and sobbed on his shoulder.

The party went on, a little more lively now. We migrated our way to his
friends.

Kelley introduced us. "Hey Abby, it's nice to finally meet the girl who
stole Kelley from us." He gave me a playful little nudge. His eyes flitted
across the three of us. "Look, I gotta ask. We're all dying of curiosity."

I explained it as best I could without exposing our entire lives.

"Oh! We thought Kelley was some kind of super stud in bed!" He and his
friends chuckled, relieved.

"Oh, he is a super stud in bed! Too many to count most nights." I dragged
Kelley away, letting them absorb that.

"Abby," he said laughing, "now they'll be relentless, trying to find my
secret."

"So tell them. Tell them that you're the most caring, attentive, passionate
man on the face of the earth." I kissed him warmly.

Sure enough, as soon as we were separated, the team engulfed him. I let him
flounder for a minute then went to rescue him. The boys hushed as we
approached.

"If you really want to know Kelley's secret," I said as I pushed my way to
the center by his side, "start here." I handed out some business cards to
by virgin coach site. The boys looked at them.

"Isn't this for girls." One of them asked. "I hear them talking about this
site. Wait! You're this Abby???"

"Man, my girlfriend dumped me and started dating some nerd over this site."

"Then you were probably being a jerk and pressuring her into sex. And no,
this isn't just for girls, there's an entire page for guys too. I spell out
EXACTLY how to please a girl."

"Yeah," Kelley said. "She taught me all I know." He smiled and kissed me.

"Not everything, you were a great guy from the start."

I kissed him back, lingering and running my fingers through his hair.

Julie and I pulled him away again and next time I saw them they were all on
their phones with my card in their hands.

The party wound down and it was time to go. Kelley walked us all to the
parking lot and hugged everyone, thanking them for coming. Julie and I
kissed Kelley goodbye and we piled into the vehicles.

Marcus joined him as we drove away. "Son, don't you find all this a little
weird? I mean every guy dreams about a threesome with two pretty girls, but
c'mon..."

"Yes Dad, it is weird. And for us, weird is good. And it's not about the
sex. When Julie and I touch each other, it's with love, not lust."

"So you never..."

"Just once, to break her hymen. But I did it out of love for them, so their
sex could be complete. And having real flesh do it, it's better for her
than a toy. Sure, I got off with her, but the connection was different. I
did it for THEM, not me. Does that make sense?"

"Sorta, you love both girls, but in different ways, right?"

"Yeah, I think I love Julie because she makes Abby happy. No, it's more
than just that. It's part of it, but not the whole answer. If something
were to happen to Abby, we'd mourn her together, but I think we'd stay part
of each other's lives, continue to love each other as we do now."

"Good grief, my head would explode if I had to deal with all that. You're a
better man than me son." Marcus hugged Kelley and they went back to the
last of the guests.

We all stopped for dinner, invading an IHOP this time and I sat with my
families. "That was awesome of you to forgive his cousin like that, after
all, she wanted to kill you." Angela said.

"Yeah." Katie interjected.

"She was hurting, I couldn't let it go on. Poor girl was being torn
apart. I could see it in her face. The shame of falling in love with a
family member, without the support that we have...I mean god! It must have
been agony for her. As soon as I realized what was going on, all my anger
with her vanished. I still had to be careful not to say something hurtful,
but all I felt was sorry for her."

I was exhausted from the day's emotional roller coaster and I pushed my
food away. "This is why I don't think I could be a therapist, I'd probably
have a melt down in less than 6 months." I ordered an herbal tea and just
sipped that.

I fell asleep on Julie's shoulder on the ride home. She had to help me off
the bus and Mrs Bowers helped her get me to a bench.  Julie called my Dad
and he came and carried me home. I was only semi conscious as he carried
me. He laid me in our bed and Julie curled up next to me. I fell asleep to
her combing her fingers through my hair.

I woke the next morning, thirsty and groggy. Julie got up and got me a
glass of water. She looked like she hadn't slept all night. I drank the
water in one big drought.

"Did you sleep at all last night?" I asked her.

"A few hours, I was so worried about you."

"Oh, honey. I'll be fine. I did something similar when I was working too
hard. Some food, rest and exercise and I'll be right as rain." I kissed
her. We got up and I was unsteady, so she helped me to the kitchen and
fixed us some food. I ate slowly and I felt stronger after getting some
food in me. We went back to bed and slept the morning away.

I woke to a bloody mess. My period had started with a vengeance. "Well, I'm
sure this didn't help matters any." I chuckled. I was two days early so I
skipped the last two pills and went to the fillers. I cleaned myself up and
put in a tampon, then helped Julie change the sheet. I went through 3
tampons that day, I was cramping badly and grumpy. I called Kelley that
night and told him about my episode.

"Oh sweetheart, I'm so sorry. Are you feeling any better?"

"Yeah, a little. My period started early and I've been bleeding like a
stuck pig all day."

"Shoot hun, I wish there was something I could do."

"You could come home and knock me up." It just popped out. I really wasn't
myself. "Sorry, I didn't mean that, I mean I do, but...aw shit, you know
what I mean."

"Abby, I can't wait to have a baby with you. Give it a couple more years,
ok?"

A couple...he said a couple! Not 6 or 7 but a couple! "Y-you mean it?"

"Yeah, I mean we have to play it by ear. But as soon as a baby won't hurt
you..."

A baby! "Oh my god Kelley, you have no idea how happy you've made me!" I
hugged myself with joy.

"I love you sweetheart. Please don't get too excited. We have no idea when
it would be healthy for you. I've done some reading, but it seems every
girl is different. We might still have to wait a while."

"I know darling. I think just hearing you say it somehow made it real for
me. I love you so much!"

"I love you too, with all my heart." He was very emotional. "But you need
your sleep, go to bed and try not to think about it tonight."

"Ok, I'll try. I love you, goodnight."

"Goodnight love."

I sat thinking for a minute then went downstairs.  Julie stopped me halfway
down.

"Nope, off to bed, doctors orders." She waived her phone to indicate Kelley
had texted her.

"I will, in just a minute. We need to talk to Mom and Dad first."

I took her hand and went to the living room. "Mom, I need to go see Dr
Lubben."

"Are you ok? What's wrong?"

"Nothing really. Guys, how do you feel about becoming grandparents?"

"Have you been taking your pill?"

"Yes, I'm not pregnant, yet."

"Abby, you're too young!" Dad protested.

"I know. I'm not asking about my health, I'm asking how do YOU feel about
it."

Julie stood there in shock and I turned to her. "You too, I want your
opinion. How do you feel about being a mommy too?"

She looked excited and scared. "A-a b-baby?" Her eyes shone.

I turned some more. "Uncle Alex, Aunt Uma?" They both grinned.

"Woah, time out. Pump the brakes on the baby machine." Mom said.

I finished my turn. "I know, not until I can healthily carry. Stop thinking
about that for a minute and tell me how you FEEL."

Mom and Dad stared at each other for a minute. "Abby, I'd love to hold my
grandbaby." Mom said. I could hear her holding back her objections.

Dad looked at me. Scared but excited. "Oh Baby, we both would."

I sobbed with joy and relief.

"Are we seriously taking about this?" Alex asked.

I nodded smiling and crying. He looked stunned.

"Look, I'm not saying I'm gonna get myself knocked up tomorrow. I have to
stop and be practical too. All I'm saying is that we want this, as soon as
it's safe." I turned to Julie and took her hand. She sobbed and smiled,
nodding. "That's why I want to go see Dr Lubben. To see if she can give me
an estimate of how long we have to wait."

"I need to have my head examined for even considering this..." Dad
muttered.

"That's a great idea. I should go talk to someone. Someone I can be
completely and totally honest with. If they deem me nuts then we'll hold
off until I'm mentally and emotionally ready too."

Mom and Dad looked awed, scared, and relieved all at once.

"You guys, I'm dead serious about this. I saw what Alex and Mary went
through. I did loads of research when they were having their baby moment. I
know the warning signs. If I even get a tingle that something's wrong, I'll
back down and wait."

"Ok, we'll call her on Monday." Mom said, her voice neutral.

I gave them warm hugs. "I love you guys. I don't want to mess this up any
more than you do."

I kissed them all goodnight, so did Julie. We went upstairs slowly. We
flopped into bed and curled up together. And we slept.


The story is done and 53 chapters, I'd still love to hear feedback though!
