Chapter Eighteen

When both Shannon and Shawn were around nine, they were exposed to some older kids saying nasty things to them and so Seto and Joey sat them down and told them some of "THE TALK" but didn't elaborate until they were much older. Poor Seto was home alone when Shannon came to him crying saying "I'm bleeding!" Well, being a father he panicked and hollered for Helga who came running up the stairs thinking that something really horrible had happened and when she found out what it was about, well she smacked Seto for scaring her to death. She then took Shannon into the bathroom and gave her the things she needed and when she came out, Seto was crying saying "my little baby has grown up."

Then Joey had fun when Shannon told him that she needed a bra, and again it was Helga to the rescue. She had Joey drive them to the Mall where she made him stand there and see what his daughter was going to be needing and when they were done, Joey was a really cute shade of pink. Things went back to normal until they were about fifteen and Shawn went to Seto and said "I need some condoms." Well Seto nearly passed out, his son wanted to start having sex no way! Well they bought condoms and had them on hand just in case they ever really needed them and when Joey told Seto that even Shannon could use them well he fainted.

Now we are seeing the kids in High School and they are having the time of their lives. They both have joined the debate team and they are on opposite teams. One thing that scared Joey and Seto was when they heard that drugs were really easy to get and they were concerned but didn't go nuts they learned that they could trust their son and daughter. One day Shannon came home and went to Helga and said "I met this boy and he's really nice and how do I tell dada and papa?" Helga smiled at her and said "leave it all to me." That evening after dinner and while the kids were in their room doing their homework Helga lowered the boom.

Seto nearly hit the ceiling and Joey just sat there smiling and then he said "she has her first real crush, isn't that sweet?" Seto stared at him as if he had a second head and roared "sweet, some boy wants to start dating our baby and all you can do is sit there and say that it's sweet, are you nuts?" Joey then turned on Seto and said "yell at me one more time and you'll be sleeping outside tonight, is that clear?" Seto pulled in his horns and said "sorry, but she's just a baby, she's not ready to start dating yet."

Joey and Helga started laughing till they had tears running down their faces and then Joey said "he's the typical father, isn't he?" Helga wiped her face and said "listen to me young man, your daughter is turning seventeen soon and if she wants to see this boy then you'll let her or else!" Then she turned and walked out of the room.

Well Shannon and William Jenkins started dating. William came to the Manor to meet Seto and Joey and when they got to meet him, they both liked him. He was a very nice and courteous young man. Well it didn't take long before they started getting really serious and then when William tried to get a little physical with her, she knocked the hell out of him and walked home. Shawn had taught his sister how to fight without their parents knowing about it and that night it helped stop her from being hurt.

Soon it was time for both Shannon and Shawn to start thinking about which College they wanted to attend and they sent letters to four different Colleges. Seto and Joey were so damn proud of their kids and it showed whenever they talked to their friends or anyone else about them. They didn't want their kids to leave home and go to College, but they knew that they were grown up and had to leave the nest.

Two weeks before Graduation, both of them got letters from three different Colleges and one of them were right there not to far from where they lived and so guess where they chose to go? They were going to both attend Domino College. They still had to tell their parents and they decided to tell them that night after dinner.

When they heard what their kids had said, both Joey and Seto just sat there not saying a thing and then they both got up and yelled "ALRIGHT!" Helga got out a bottle of Sparkling Wine and they celebrated they great news. They still had one year of High School left and then Graduation and then they would be thinking about going away to College.
