~Christmas chapter~

(Austin)

"Wake up you two." I heard someone say, I slowly woke up, the sun beamed through the window and onto my face, making me groan in annoyance.

"Wake up." I heard someone say again, I opened my eyes to find Marin watching over me.

"What Is it?" I asked her.

"It's Christmas morning, get out of bed." She told me as she walked out the room, I sat up in bed and stretched out and yawned.

"Good morning Austin." I heard Abby say, she stretched out her long catlike body and laid down across my chest.

"Good morning." I told her as I caressed her head and back.

"Hurry up and get dressed before Marin comes up again, you're naked." She told me, which jolted me awake as I got up and dashed into my closet, I threw on some clothes quickly and walked out.

"Personally I preferred you the other way." She said quietly, talking about when I was naked.

"Not now." I told her hastily.

She whined playfully and we hurried downstairs, both of us a little worn out from last nights "mature fun". We quickly walked downstairs and into the living room, Marin and dad were laying beside each other on the couch.

"Took you long enough." Dad said as he put his arm around Marin, it seemed kind of awkward and out of place but normal at the same time.

I went over to our Christmas tree and looked at the presents, there were several for me and one for Abby, it was kinda small. She looked at it curiously and pawed at the box a bit.

"Can you open it for me?" Abby asked me.

"Sure." I told her as I open the small box to reveal a necklace inside, in the middle of it was a pure black heart.

"I thought it would be a good present for you." Marin told us worriedly, worrying about wether she liked it or not.

"It's amazing, I love it." Abby told her happily, I put it on her and she smiled, it looked really good on her.

I went through my presents while Abby sat by the fireplace, I got a couple game systems, some books, some new clothes and a new soccer ball.

"Thanks dad." I told him from across the room.

"Don't mention it." He said casually, he looked like he was a bit nervous and tired.

"Is something wrong?" I asked him.

"No, he's fine, just didn't get much sleep is all." Marin told me nervously.

"Okay... Mom." I told her carefully, I wanted to bring up the subject but I was trying to play my cards safely, there was a long moment of silence.

"I hope you don't hate me." Marin said sadly.

"I don't hate you, I'm a bit mad that I was told that my supposedly real mother died or left us when it was really just you." I told her, a little aggravated but trying to make sure i don't blow up on them.

"We did it for your own good." My dad told me.

"Why didn't you just tell me, it wouldn't have made any difference, I already treat her like my mother anyway." I told him.

"Because, it's not exactly deemed a good thing by society, you would of been ridiculed if people knew." He told me.

"It's my fault, I love you a lot and I have the best of hopes for you, like a normal mother would, but it's just my fault for being the way I am." Marin told me as she looked down sadly, I walked up to her and held her in an embrace.

"I wouldn't want it any other way, I still love you... Mom." I told her happily, she started to smile and cry at the same time.

"Thank you." She said as she hugged me back.

"Abby and Austin, don't you have something to tell your father?" Marin told us, Abby and I got real nervous and she came stand beside me.

"What is it?" He asked suspiciously.

"Abby and I are... mates." I said nervously, bracing myself for a beating, surprisingly nothing came.

"I knew that this would happen eventually." He said with a sigh and a big smile.

"Just don't make the same mistake I did." He told me casually, I waited for his explanation.

"Trusting them with a blowjob." He told me jokingly with a smile, Abby and I were both amazed.

Marin looked pissed, she immediately punched him over the head.

"What are you taking about!? You couldn't handle mine!" Marin said angrily as Abby and I laughed hysterically.

"The teeth." Dad said as he rubbed his head, still smiling jokingly.

"I love my family." I thought to myself as I looked down at Abby, who was smiling just as much as I was.
