Chapter 9 a father's dilemma
Just like his brother, wife and sister in law, Frank Tennyson was unsure of what to do regarding the fact that his daughter fell in love with her cousin. Just like his wife he leaned towards the idea of letting them be together. What worried him is that they might have defected babies and they would lose their friends for being together in a romantic kind of way. He knows Ben and Gwen are meant for each other and wants to let them be together but is afraid of the consequences. The society frowns upon cousin romance and the chance of them having defected babies would be very sad and unfortunate. And what would the family say about it? I don't want them being separated from their family except the close one. Me and Lily will not disown Gwen for falling in love with Ben and I doubt Carl and Sandra would do that with him as well and I don't think Grandpa Max would do that either. But what about the rest of the family? I mean they don't have very close family aside from us, themselves and Ken but it would still be sad if they would get disowned by the rest of the family. But I doubt it would happen, most of the other family members are not terribly strict people and have their head screwed on right. I doubt the others are foolish and mean enough to disown Ben and Gwen for what happened because I think they too know they are made for each other so that solves that. Even if they do stay together I think and hope they will be able to find friends who will accept them for who they are. Regarding the defected babies thing maybe they can have treatment to help prevent it or they can adopt a child if necessary. I know they are meant for each other and would be very happy together but I'm afraid of the potentially bad consequences that could come of that. I don't want them to marry other people. It may be love but not the same and as pure as their love. I don't know if they will be very happy as they could have been if they don't end up together.
A parent's job is to try and do things that are best for his kids but that decision is not always easy and in cases like this it's hard to decide what's best... on one hand you want your kid to be happy and but on the other hand that happiness can hurt them. I think that in this case it's lifelong happiness we're talking about that could come with bad consequences versus less lifelong happiness or a lack of it on such a high level with a better and more normal life. But now that I think about it I think they will be able to find friends that will accept them for who they are. And regarding the kid thing it's not guaranteed they will have defected babies and even if they will they and we will deal with it. The defect might not be so bad even though knowing in advance is not fair to the child. I prefer they have at least one biological child and not only a foster one. I think they are aware of the risks so I'll let them decide on that aspect. I think I'm gonna support them on this one and hope they overcome the problems that will come along with it…
