Chapter 6 does mother really know best?

It was ten in the morning and Ben's mother and the rest of the family saw him hugging his sleeping cousin. They knew what happened and had to think what to decide regarding their relationship. Sandra, Ben's mom was having a tough time making a decision…

'I don't know what to do… if I deny their relationship they will never forgive me for it… even though I need to set boundaries and give discipline I don't want my niece and my only son to hate me… they say they fell in love with each other… maybe thy really are made for each other if Ben almost died trying to save her and she agreed to donate blood to him… but their cousins… even if they are made for each other it just isn't right… and what about their kids? I don't want to have inbred and defected grandkids… on the other hand I'm not the selfish type… but what if Carl and the rest have the same thoughts. Then it's not only me. On the other hand I want them to be happy but how can I know the difference here between making them happy and making them rotten? I don't want to mess up my son and niece…

I guess I should have seen this coming… that they would fall in love. Max called me in the middle of the summer and said they were growing on each other. He knew they were more than cared about each other; he didn't miss a thing, but apparently I did and so did Carl and so do Gwen's parents. But who could blame us? Before they left they seemed to despise each other and maybe they really did. What made them start to care for each other like that? Was it his watch and her magic powers along with the crime fighting thing? I don't know if that's enough to bring these two kinds of people so close together… I mean they have been on this trip for only a month. How could two people who disliked each other so much can get to the other side of human relationship? How could they have fallen in love in such a short time? Its time like this that I don't know what to do with my own son… I threatened them if they get back together they'd end up in a military school… I can't tell them that now; Ben would die hearing it… he's not strong enough… I don't want to be responsible for killing my own and only son. If that happens I could lose all my close family; Gwen, her parents, Carl, Grandpa Max… I could even lose my own biological family. I can't tell how my parents and siblings will react if they hear about it… my friends will leave me too… I will end up living the rest of my days alone… I couldn't bare such a terrible fate…'

Sandra let out a small sob and took out a tissue to wipe her face with

If I don't give them military school I would have to find something in the middle. It's only a matter of time before he wakes up and I want to have an answer for them agreed by the rest of the family. But what can I tell him now that wouldn't be too hard or dangerous for him?... I don't know what to do…

They say mother knows best… I wish it were that simple but it's not…

To be continued…

Well what do you think? Pretty dramatic huh? Did you like it? Did you dislike it? Did you like it even more? Please tell me what you think on your reviews on your way out…

Thank you…

Note: I'm sorry for the long delay. I kept postponing it and at a certain point wasn't sure if this story was still relevant because we are way past Halloween and this story was supposed to be associated with it. And thanks to the cretin for advising me to put Ben and Gwen's parents considerations into a story. As you can see I tried it out

Thanks again
