Chapter 7 the son becomes the father, and the father the son
A middle aged man known as Carl Tennyson had a dilemma. A few weeks ago his son and cousin came back from a road trip with their grandfather which ended earlier than expected due to a disturbing incident. His son and his cousin always seemed to hate each other but during the summer it turns out their relationship has made a 360 degree turn. From being in a state of hatred they have seemed to have fallen in love with each other and that's what ended the trip early. Ben and his father are very close but Carl as his parent needs to set boundaries and he didn't know what's the right decision regarding his son's relationship with his cousin. On one hand he wants to make him happy but how can he know what's the border between making him happy and messing him up in this case? Being in love with your cousin can lead to genetically defected babies and Carl doesn't want to have that as grandchildren and he's sure that his son and niece don't want that either. On the other hand they seem to be very happy together. Ben seems to mature a bit which is good but that's not a good enough reason to allow such a relationship. Personally, Carl is not that against cousin marriage even if it's between his son and niece. It's their kids and what the rest of the family would think about his opinion that he's worried about. What makes him less worried is that cousin couples don't always get defected babies but there's no guaranty that it won't happen to Ben and Gwen. On the other hand if they want they go through tests to check it when they are older. But how can you know the test is right? And what about their friends and neighbors and the rest of the family? What will they think about them when they hear they married each other? They ARE cousins after all. And what about getting a job? Maybe the employer would think they have mental problems for marring each other. I don't people to think of them as insane and that they will be unemployed and won't be able to support themselves. But let's get real here they could just go to a psychiatrist so they could go through tests and he will give them a document that proves they are sane so that solves that... regarding their friends I think a real friend would accept a person for who he is despite his problems or at least try to ignore them or not talk about them. Regarding neighbors that's hard to replace and neighbors don't always get along... family is not something you can replace. I hope Gwen's parents don't disown her if she ends up with Ben. I know I won't disown them and I hope the rest of the family doesn't either. If Ben and Gwen do stay together maybe we can work something out with them. I WANT to work something out with them. Now that I think about it they are perfect for each other. I think I'm gonna support them on this one. I just hope the rest of the family won't give me too much of a hard time about that. Who knows maybe we can reach an agreement somehow. I think that Ben and Gwen really are perfect for each other and the fact that he almost died for her proves that it's true love. I just hope the rest of the family agrees with me so that we can solve this problem in the best wayfor everyone. Including Ben and Gwen…
