Chapter 11 what do we do?
The four parents and Grandpa Max have met at Ben's house to reach a decision on what to do regarding his relationship with Gwen. It was twelve thirty and the two cousins were in school and were supposed to be home in about half an hour. They knew the family was about to reach a decision so Gwen was to come over too. The family sat down in the living room and started talking
"So what do you guys think we should do about Ben and Gwen?' asked Carl
"I'm for it because I think they are made for each other and it would be wrong to separate them. If and when problems will come they will deal with them and we'll support them; people have dealt with worse problems in the past than what they could get from this" said Frank Gwen's father
"I'm with you and I think they will deal with it. Regarding loosing friends we both know they will always have friends to be with them. I assume you guys thought about that too and I think we were being a little too paranoid about that. Regarding defected babies the chances of that happening a like what? Ten, twenty percent? That still gives them a good chance to have normal kids someday" said Max
"How can you be so sure? Maybe they will be lonely?" asked Sandra
"Come on Sandra be realistic I'm sure they will have some friends on their side. Maybe for a while they won't, but afterwards they will. How do we even know their friends will even leave them in the first place?"
"Because they will be turned off and creped off" said Sandra
"I'm afraid she does have a point" said Lily
"I'm for it too but I'm afraid of these consequences. Now that I think about it even if they don't have a defected baby he will be teased for his parents being cousins. I want them to be together but I'm afraid of what it will cause" she said
"Guys you cannot destroy such a perfect relationship just because of hypothetical fears" said Max and Lily said
"Maybe you're right"
"Don't get me wrong I want them to be together but I'm afraid of how their life will be because of it" said Sandra
"Same here" said Carl
"Yeah I agree" said Lily
"So do I" said Frank
"I agree too. if all of agree but are afraid of the results we are already getting somewhere. Tell you what: I say we alert them about the dangers and leave it for them to decide. If they get picked on by their peers I think we should leave it for them to decide what to do. As long as things don't get out of control we should stay out of it"
"When you say alert them to the danger you mean also the defected babies thing?" asked Lily
"Don't worry we will do it gently. We won't tell them how it's done. We will just ask them if they plan to end up getting married and having kids. If they say yes we will warn them about it that's all" said Frank
Lily looked slightly relieved and said
"Oh so that okay then"
"I think you guys are right. Maybe these fears a little paranoid" said Sandra
"So I'm gonna support them on this one all the way through" she said
"Me too" said Carl
"So will I" said Lily
"And so will I" said Frank
"I will too. No matter what" said Max
"So it's decided. We are gonna let them stay together" said lily
A few 'yes's' were heard around the room
"I can't wait to see their happy faces when they hear about it" said Max and everyone burst out in laughter. Just when the laughing stopped the front door opened and the two cousins walked in
"Oh hi kids" said Sandra who was sitting in the couch facing the door
"We have reached a decision" said Carl who was sitting next to her
"Great" said the two cousins together, put their back packs down and sat down with the rest of the family
"First off all, we need to ask you something" said Carl
"I'm sorry if this sounds rude or premature but if you were to stay together, how would you see each other in ten years?"
"We see each other married with a child or two" said Gwen
"Definitely" said Ben. Carl glanced at his father sitting in the armchair in front of him before continuing
"Well you do know that if that happens those kids could have genetic problems?" asked Carl
"Yeah" said Gwen and Ben nodded
"You might also lose friends for marring each other because you're… you know… cousins" said Carl
"We know, but we'll manage. There are always friends who would be decent people and wouldn't mind us being together" said Gwen
"We even have some friends like that now who support us because they too think we belong together and they are not the rule breaker type of people so that's not the reason they support us" said Ben
"Really? You didn't tell us that" said Sandra
"Yeah well we didn't think we should if we might be separated" said Ben
"So you guys sure you won't mind all those problems?" asked Carl
"Nope" said Ben
"Not at all" said Gwen bravely and with a smile and to her surprise Carl and the rest of the family smiled too
"Well Gwen I'm glad to say that we are letting you and Ben stay together" said Carl with the widest smile she and Ben have ever seen him wear
"Really?" asked Gwen and she and Ben looked at the other family members for acknowledgment and they nodded slightly with a light smile on their face
"Yeah" said Carl
"We realized you two are made for each other and it would be wrong to separate you from each other" said lily
"And no matter what happens we will be behind you all the way" said Max with a wide smile
"Thanks guys!" said the two cousins with joy and happiness as their faces lit with those emotions and smiles as they ran to hug each of the family members in front of them in turn. Finally they turned to each other
"This is great Gwen. I can't believe we can finally be together!' said Ben with joy
"It's great isn't it?" asked Gwen just as happily
"Yeah it sure is" said Ben
"But not as great and wonderful as this…" he said and leant closer to kiss her for the first time in front of their parents without the fear of punishment or the least bit awkwardness… it felt wonderful... as if a wonderful and divine love and passion two people felt for each other was being strangled and the pressure has finally been released in their kiss but not harshly but gently and smoothly and wonderfully pleasant. It felt as if a soft, wonderful, cool breeze was stroking the front of their hair while on a beautiful beach on a Saturday night during sunset… it was that pleasant and so was the love they felt for each other... And they couldn't be happier about it... yeah… the two were meant for each other and it was pure, perfect and innocent love… and they couldn't be happier about it… as the kiss deepened Gwen put her arms around Ben's neck as he did the same with hers as they kissed Passionately and Frenchly as their tongues danced in each other's mouth as they enjoyed the wonderful kiss and smooch they shared with each other… and they couldn't be happier about it… Once separated Ben said
"I love you Gwen and nothing will ever change that" said Ben
"I love you too Ben… I love you too…." Said Gwen happily and rested her head in his shoulders as he did the same with hers as they continued to hug each other warmly and lovingly as they parents stood and watched with a wide and happy smile on their face. Their kids finally fell in love and they were okay about it and they couldn't be happier about it… and neither could Ben and Gwen…
