Mixed Emotions By DG Hear

This story could go in a number of categories. A special ‘Thank You' to Estragon for editing this story and making it a much better read.

In the last few days my life has been turned upside down. My emotions are boiling over. I'm just not sure what to do next.

I'm Jeff Holder and one confused young man, only being twenty-two years old. I come from a very good and happy family. I have one sister Susan, who is three years older than me, and I believe happily married with a son of her own.

I need to go back a little and tell you about my upbringing. I had always lived in the same house since I was born. I remember my sister would pick on me but that was just sibling rivalry. We now get along great.

Next door lived the Cooks. There was Mr. and Mrs. Cook and their daughter, my best friend ever, Charly. Her name was Charlene but she liked to be called Charly. She was what my parents would have called a tomboy.

We went to the same school but she was a year behind me. Ever since the first grade we walked to school together. We were pals and told each other everything. I used to get mad when people called her my girlfriend, because she wasn't; she was my pal and best friend.

We talked like all kids do about different things. One day we talked about kissing. I remember I was eleven at the time and not really into girls yet. We decide to kiss and we had our eyes open and touched lips.

"Well, what do you think?" I asked.

"I didn't really feel anything. I don't get why people think it's so great," replied Charly.

"It was like kissing my sister, ew," I said.

It was funny because we would swim together, play ball and even wrestle when we were young. When we became teenagers we still walked to and from school together like brother and sister. We studied most evenings together.

At other times we rode our bikes and went to the movies. We would even camp out in the back yard. The only thing we didn't do when we got older was have sleepovers. When we were younger we did, but we made tents on the floor. Our parents thought we were too old for that now.

I belonged to a few organizations at school, and even played baseball and soccer. I was just a regular kid and knew I didn't have a future in sports. Charly joined the band and played the saxophone. She could play a few of the other wind instruments also. She was great in girls softball, she could kick ass.

So we didn't see each other as much during high school. One of us always had a game or a practice. I asked her if she wanted to go to the junior prom but her mother told her she was too young so I took another girl.

My senior year I didn't go, when Charly told me Mike Hagan asked her and she said yes. I was going to ask her but never got around to it. She did tell me she had a nice time until Mike tried to kiss her and she had to set him straight. She didn't tell me what she did but it made me smile.

I graduated and started working at a parts manufacturing plant. One day when I came home I saw Charly sitting on her porch with a good-looking girl. I walked over and she introduced me.

"Jeff, this is Candy, my cousin. Before you ask, it is her real name. She recently moved here from Arizona. Her dad, my uncle, is in the military. Candy, this is my pal or best bud, Jeff."

I told her I was pleased to meet her, and asked what she did for a living. I found out she was twenty-one; I was nineteen at the time. She told me she worked in an insurance office as a secretary. I have to say she was a good- looking woman.

I don't think Charly liked the way I was looking at her. Surely she wasn't jealous. The three of us talked for a while on the porch and I decided to ask Candy out Saturday night to a movie. I was surprised when she agreed to go.

"As long as Charly doesn't mind. I don't want to take away her boyfriend," replied Candy.

"Why would I mind?" said Charly. "Jeff and I are just good friends. Isn't that right Jeff?" she said as she stared at me.

I could tell by her tone that she was a bit mad but tried to hide it. "Yeah, we're just good friends. Besides, there is a football game Saturday and Charly is in the band."

I got Candy's address and phone number and told her I'd see her Saturday. I went home and had dinner with Mom and Dad. I mentioned Candy and they asked me what Charly thought.

"She didn't say much of anything. Besides, she has to play at the game Saturday."

On Saturday I went and picked up Candy and met her parents. They seemed nice enough but didn't say a lot. Candy and I headed to the movies. I was surprised she wore a skirt and blouse. Charly always wore jeans when we went to the movies.

We talked a little about our jobs on the way to the movie. We got some popcorn and Candy wanted to sit way off to the side. I just followed her.

During the movie she put her hand on mine and moved it over on her thigh. Up till now I had felt up a couple of girls and even got a blowjob from a date. I never told Charly about it. Didn't seem like the right thing to do even though she was my best bud. I knew if she let a guy touch her I wouldn't want to know.

Candy was different. She was older, twenty-one, and must have dated for a while. She had told me she went to college for two years and got her degree in Secretarial Science.

During the movie I moved my hand up her skirt. She just watched the movie like she didn't know what I was dong. I slid my hand up under her skirt until I reached her panty-covered pussy. Damn, I was nervous. I had never been that far with a girl before.

She spread her legs and continued watching the movie. It was awkward but I got my hand inside of her panties through the leg hole. I felt her bush and a very wet pussy. I got a finger into her and was finger fucking her. I felt her juices flowing. Her hand came over in my lap and touched my cock through my trousers. I used my free hand, unzipped my pants and pulled my cock out.

Thank God, no one was around us. She grabbed my cock and began jacking me off while still watching the movie. I now had two fingers pumping in her. This went on for about ten minutes when I came. I shot my load all over the back of the seat in front of me.

It was then that she finally looked at me and smiled. I had pushed my fingers hard into her. She made some noises but I don't know if she had come. I pulled my fingers out of her and smelled my fingers. It was the first time I had my fingers in a pussy.

I handed her some napkins, that we had gotten from the popcorn stand, to wipe my cum off of her hand. I took a couple and wiped off the seat in front of me. I put my cock away, and Candy and I watched the rest of the movie.

After the movie we parked and were making out. She let me feel her all over. She had some nice tits and I was about to put my hand on her thigh when she stopped me.

"Do you have any protection?" she asked.

I never carried condoms. I bought them once to masturbate in to see how it felt but since I never had sex I never bought them again. I told her I didn't and she told me she wouldn't do it without them. She did let me touch her some more and said to me, "Maybe next time."

I knew I wanted to start dating her. I asked her out again the following weekend. I would make sure I kept plenty of condoms in my car. I couldn't stop thinking about her. I can't say I loved her but I knew I felt different.

I saw Charly a couple of days later. "Jeff, we need to talk."

"What is it?" I asked.

"You have to watch out for Candy. She's pretty wild and I don't want to see you get hurt. She told me what you did at the movies and asked me if I ever did it with you. I told her no, we were just good friends and not to play with your feelings. I mentioned to her that I didn't think you‘ve had sex yet; have you?"

"What? You talked about what we did? How could you? Now I look like an idiot, thanks a lot."

"Jeff, I care for you; you're my best friend and I don't want to see you get hurt. I wish I never introduced you to Candy." She then turned around and went home.

I thought ‘Women, I just don't get them. My best friend is mad at me and her cousin probably knows I've never fucked a woman before. Great! I guess I'll have to see how it goes on Saturday.'

I picked up Candy and she had on slacks and a blouse. I do have to admit that she looked nice but I hoped to put my hand on her bare thigh again. We went out for dinner and talked. I asked her, "How come I've never met you before, since I lived my whole life next door to Charly?"

"My dad is in the service and was stationed all over the place. Charly and her parents visited us a few times throughout the years. We visited here twice but I don't know why I never met you. Charly probably wanted to keep you to herself."

"It's not like that between me and Charly. Really, Charly and I are just good friends. Why did you tell her about what happened at the movies?"

"She asked me what we did and I told her. I think she got mad at me. I'm going to make her even madder tonight."

"Why would you do that? What are you planning to do?"

"I have the key to the apartment of my girlfriend at work. She said we could use her apartment for a few hours. Do you want to have sex with me or go to a movie?" She was laughing now.

We headed for the apartment. It wasn't the nicest apartment but all I knew is I was going to get laid. We started out by kissing; she was a good kisser. I began to unbutton her blouse. I could see her white bra underneath. I slid her blouse off of her shoulders and pulled her tight to me.

I unclasped her bra and saw her firm breasts. I couldn't help touching them. "Kiss them," she said to me. I did as I was told. I was sure glad I'd read a few porno stories. I wanted to do this right.

I remembered they said to always be gentle. Don't grab or squeeze a woman's breasts until your partner is ready. She put her hands behind my head and pulled me to her breasts.

Damn, this was good. Now I wanted more. While sucking her nipples I undid her belt and the buttons on her pants. I opened them and pulled them down her legs. She was now standing there in her panties, sexy ones too.

She told me to get undressed, which I stood up and did. I was near naked in five seconds with only my jockeys on. She reached over and squeezed my cock. "Damn! I'm going to love this," she said.

We got on the bed and she removed her panties. She asked me if I ever ate a pussy. After I said no, she told me it was about time I did and to get between her legs. Her bush was trimmed and I put my face into it. I could smell her sex. It wasn't long before I was eating her out. My tongue was buried deep in her, and her hips were gyrating and pushing against my face.

I tongued and licked her pussy with my face pressed hard against her. I couldn't wait much longer. I slid off my jockeys and put my cock against her pussy opening. She held me back, because I'd forgotten the condom. I quickly took one out and put it on.

She smiled as I entered her. "Fuck me, shove that cock in me."

I felt her come and it wasn't long before I came right behind her. God, I had my first taste of pussy; it was great. We lay there for a while and kissed. I also played with her nipples. It wasn't long before I was hard again. I changed condoms and we went at it again.

I had both of her legs held up high as I pounded her pussy. We fucked for quite awhile before I came. It must have been a massive load; it felt like it went on for minutes. I could feel her pussy squeezing my cock. I knew she was coming. I knew my cock was getting soft but I held it in her for her to finish.

When I finally pulled out my cock the condom wasn't on it. I looked down and was surprised. "What's the matter Jeff?"

"The condom came off," I replied.

"Oh shit! You have to get it out," said Candy. "I can't get pregnant."

I reached in her very wet pussy with two fingers and finally touched the condom. I squeezed it between my two fingers and pulled it out. The only problem was it got turned around and the open end came out last. I didn't say anything to Candy except that I got it out.

"Candy," I said, "is there any chance you could take birth control pills? I'll use condoms for a while but the pills might be safer. I'll even pay for them."

"Ok, I guess I'll make a doctor's appointment and see what she says. Until then you have to use the condoms."

We dated regularly. The sex was great but we didn't seem to be as compatible as I was with Charly. Don't get me wrong here, I liked Candy but she was just different from Charly.

I still talked to Charly but she was really pissed when she found out Candy and I had sex. "How could you do that to me, go have sex with my cousin? I told you she's bad news but no, you wouldn't listen. I thought we were best friends."

"You still are my best friend. It's just that I'm a guy and wanted to get laid. Candy seems like a nice person and I thought you'd be happy for me."

"Men are so dumb. No, I'm not happy for you. In fact I'm on the verge of hating you for what you did to our friendship. I don't know if I ever want to talk to you again." She got up and stormed home again.

What the hell did I do wrong? I'll never understand women. I kept dating Candy and she kept putting off getting the birth control pills. I was still using condoms but hadn't had any come off lately.

Charly would say hi to me and not much else. I found out she was going to her prom and didn't ask me. I went over and knocked on her door. "Charly, I thought you wanted me to take you to your senior prom. What happened?"

"You and my slut cousin is what happened. Do you really think I'd go to my prom with you while you're fucking my cousin? How stupid could you be?"

She shut the door on me. I liked Candy and the sex was good, but I missed seeing Charly. Shit, my life was all mixed up and then it got worse. I got a call from Candy; she said she needed to see me. I went over to her house that evening.

"What's the problem that couldn't wait till Saturday?" I asked.

"I went to the doctor to see if I could get birth control pills and the doctor told me I was already pregnant; just under three months. My periods are always mixed up so I didn't think much about it. What are we going to do?"

I was in shock. I did use condoms and it did fall off the one time but what was I supposed to do now? I was in lust with Candy but not in love. We were just sex partners, I thought.

We sat and talked about the options. Abortion was one but I really didn't like the idea and it would be hard to cover up and also kind of expensive. Candy was worried about her reputation and her job.

We came to the conclusion that we would get married. I knew that it was the right thing to do. I remember reading in a story where it said, "You want to play, you've got to pay."

I cared enough for Candy and believed I could love her. We told her parents that we were getting married. They tried to talk us out of it till they found out she was pregnant. They were really pissed, but happy that I was doing the right thing in marrying their daughter.

I told Mom and Dad that night and they were really pissed at me. I know I really let them down but it was too late now. The hardest person to tell was Charly. She already knew when I went to tell her.

"You're an asshole, Jeff. You're making a big mistake marrying Candy. You would be better off not marrying her and just supporting the baby. Jeff, I know it's too late now but I want you to know I've always cared for you. When the time comes, and it will come, I will be there for you."

I wasn't sure what she was talking about but she started crying, gave me a hug and closed the door.

****

Candy wanted to get married right away, before she began to show, so we had a small private wedding the following weekend. Just our parents and my sister were there. Charly didn't even show up, which made me feel bad. We found a small apartment that we could afford. It wasn't much but at least we had a place to live.

Our parents and other relatives gave us enough household items to begin housekeeping. Life was so different. I'd come home at night and wait for Candy. She always got off later than I did. I would usually start some kind of simple meal for us for dinner. After that it was watching TV or visiting one of our parents.

As she got bigger she got more irritable. I just took it all in stride. I did go to Charly's graduation. I was proud of her. Candy got mad at me for going. I had asked her if she wanted to go and she said she didn't so I went myself. I don't understand women.

I hugged Charly and I told her I was sorry for whatever I did to hurt her and gave her another hug. She asked me about Candy and that was about it. I felt like I just lost my best friend when she walked away.

I was busy working and getting all the overtime I could to help pay our expenses. Thank God, Candy had insurance to cover the delivery of the baby or should I say babies. Yes, we were having twins. I couldn't believe it, two kids and I just turned twenty. I was lucky to have a good paying job, which would put the kids on my insurance at birth.

Life was going by fast now. I spent most all my time working and putting away money. In our apartment we had two bedrooms. We set up one for the babies. People at work gave us all kind of things we could use. Mom threw a baby shower and everyone knew we were having twins.

During the final couple of months, sex became damn near non-existent. She did jack me off twice. Yippee!

I was both nervous and tired. This was all too new to me, being a husband and soon to be a father of twins. One day Candy went to her parents. I chose to stay home. I was never the most welcome person at their house. I guess they felt Candy could have done a lot better than me but I was trying.

I was sitting there putting some baby furniture together when there was a knock at the door. I got up and opened it and there stood Charly. She had a baby gift in her hand.

I was so glad to see her. I gave her a hug and she felt so good. She told me she was sorry she didn't make the baby shower and thought she would bring over the gift. I invited her in and she asked me where Candy was.

I told her she went to see her parents and I was putting together furniture. She smiled at me and we started putting the furniture together. Damn! I missed her.

She told me she was going to college for two years for nursing and had already started. I remember telling her she would make a good nurse and could nurse me anytime. It almost felt like old times till Candy came it.

"What the hell are you doing here? I told you to stay away from my husband. You had your chance and blew it. Now get out of my house and stay away from my husband!"

What the hell just happened? The two of them argued and I tried to stop it but Candy told me to stay out of it. What did she mean Charly had her chance? What was going on? Good thing Candy was pregnant because I know Charly was capable of knocking her out. I finally told them both to shut the fuck up.

"Candy, I don't know what the hell is going on but Charly is and always will be my friend. She stopped by to drop off a gift for our future kids. There isn't anything going on between me and Charly. There never has been."

"Look," said Charly. "I'm sorry for all the misunderstanding. I wish you two the best. I better go now." She had tears in her eyes as she walked out the door.

"Candy, what the hell was that all about? Charly's your cousin and we've always been best friends. You had no right to treat her the way you did. I know you're pregnant and your hormones are all mixed up but Charly didn't deserve that shit you were spewing."

"You stupid ass! She loves you and always has. You were just too stupid to see it. You're my husband now and I don't want you being alone with her ever."

I was lost for words. I wasn't about to start up another argument with Candy. I just let it go for now. I did have to wonder if she knew something I didn't. Did Charly really like me that much?

As time went on we did our best to communicate. Candy had a few good days but most was her blaming me for her being pregnant. She was scared and so was I; we weren't ready for parenthood but here we were.

I got a call at work and it was Candy. She had to go to the hospital, the babies were coming. I left as soon as I could and met her there. I called her parents and mine; they arrived shortly after I got there.

Candy was cussing up a storm. Most of her words were aimed at me. "You son of a bitch, you better never touch me again."

"You can take that fucking dick of yours and stick it up your ass."

"God it hurts! I wish it was you pushing these babies out of your cock so you know what it feels like." She kept going on and on. Thank God our parents didn't hear her.

I was in the room for the delivery. She hardly said a nice word to me. I knew she was in pain but there was nothing I could do. I offered to hold her hand but she wanted no part of me. Finally she screamed out and I saw the head of one of the babies. It was a boy. It sure looked messed up. My stomach was becoming queasy.

The nurse looked at me and saw the look on my face. "Don't worry, they all look that way till we clean them up." She gave me a very welcomed smile.

It was a few minutes later that the second one arrived. It looked pretty much like the first one except she was a girl. Candy lay there looking like she just got out of a shower. Two nurses cleaned up the babies and another helped Candy clean up some. I stepped out and told our parents that they were now grandparents.

"You have a grandson and a granddaughter. The doctor said they seemed in perfect health." I was happy the ordeal was over with.

We all waited in the waiting room till we got the ok to see Candy and the babies. She still wasn't talking to me. She wasn't saying much of anything to anyone.

They brought the babies in and of course everyone seemed really happy except Candy. I knew she went through a lot but I thought she would be more excited. The grandparents sure were.

We named them Larry and Sherry. They sure were cute babies even though they were mine. I was really happy; I was now a dad. A very proud one.

In the days that followed we took our babies home. Their room was all ready for them. Candy seemed a little better toward them now. I tried to be as helpful as possible. Candy didn't want to breast feed, so our babies were on formula. I promised to help as much as I could.

Candy had taken a two-month maternity leave. When I got home from work she would nag at me and tell me it was my turn to watch the babies, she had to do it all day. I really didn't mind because I really loved being a dad. I was even able to change diapers right from the start.

Each day I was excited to get home and play father to my twins. Candy did what most mothers do but she never had a fire in her belly toward the kids. I figured it was just her emotions were overwhelmed. I did my best to comfort her.

She joined an exercise club to help get her body back. Now I knew what the problem was. She was afraid she had lost her beautiful body. She went to exercise class for an hour each evening after I got home from work. In no time at all she looked great and I told her so.

It was two months before she would have sex with me. She did get on birth control. She didn't want any more kids. We needed a plan for after she went back to work. My mom suggested she could watch the kids while I worked. She was crazy about the twins.

Candy would drop them off in the morning before leaving for work and I would pick them up unless I had to work overtime. It worked out pretty good. Sometimes Mom would even have dinner ready and I would eat there. Candy hardly ever made dinner. I would take a plate of food home for her.

One day while I was at Mom's Charly stopped in. God, it was so good to see her. I gave her a hug and asked her if she wanted to see the twins.

"Jeff, I see the twins most everyday. I stop in after school and sometimes help your mom feed them. I'm not sure what word to use but they are adorable and precious." After Mom walked out of the room Charly said, "Too bad their mother is a fucking bitch. They deserve so much better."

"Charly, that's my wife you're talking about."

"I know, thank God they have a father as nice as you." She gave me a hug and went home.

Mom came back in the room but kept quiet about Charly. We talked about the kids before I took them home.

Chapter 2

It's been about nine months since the birth of the twins. The kids are more fun than ever. I lay on the floor and they crawl all over me. Candy seems a lot better now as I watch her with the kids. I know she has a busy schedule, working, going to exercise twice a week now and being a mother when she's home.

Mine isn't any easier. I pick them up at Mom's, make sure their fed and play with them till their mom shows up. It's what being a parent is all about. At least twice a week we take them to see Candy's parents. They love the kids also. How could they not.

A couple of times Charly's parents were over visiting Candy's parents. After all the two men are brothers. Charly's dad, Ben, is Candy's uncle. His wife is Betty. I've known them my whole life. They were like second parents to me.

Candy's parents are Bob and Alice Cook. They didn't seem to like me as much as Ben and Betty does but I did get their daughter pregnant.

Our sex life is ok but nothing to write home about. I expected we would be going at it most every day for at least a couple of years. I'm lucky if we do it twice a week. It's good when we do it but I always have to be the instigator. I have to eat her pussy just about every time which I don't mind but she doesn't give me oral sex unless she's drunk too much.

We don't go out very often, maybe once every couple of weeks. It's those days I usually get laid. Candy likes to drink but I'm usually the one driving so I stick with pop. I'm just trying to be a responsible driver and dad.

We've gone out dancing with a couple of her friends from work. I guess I don't like the way she flirts but not quite sure what to do about it. I have told her she was flirting a little too much and she did back down some.

Lately I've been getting calls from her that she has to work over an hour or so. After about the third time, it happened about twice a week. It made me wonder so on the way home I drove by her insurance offices and saw the light on inside and her car parked there. I went ahead and went home.

I did ask her about the sudden overtime and she said they were revamping the computer system and it was to busy during regular hours. I honestly didn't buy it. Why was it always her working over? I went by three different times and it was only her car and one other. Always the same car.

I had to wonder if she was cheating on me. After all she was a good-looking women and probably alone with another man. She had a jealous streak about me and that made me wonder if she might have taken on a lover.

One day while I was at Mom's to pick up the kids she told me she had to run to the store. While she was gone Charly happened to come over. I've never said anything to Candy but Charly comes over when I'm there pretty often. We just talk about old times and about the kids. She is getting ready to start her second year of college toward her nursing degree. She was going the whole year.

She told me she was studying DNA and was wondering if she could take mine. "Charly, I know what you're doing, the kids are mine, believe me. Go ahead take our DNA and knock yourself out."

"Jeff I love Larry and Sherry. It's their mother I don't trust and you shouldn't either. For the record I do hope they are your kids. I spend more time with them then their mother does."

"Charly, why such a distrust of Candy? She's your cousin."

"Look, she was a wild child when she was younger. I remembered how she was when we went and visited them. I don't think she's changed that much. The reason she went out with you was because she knew I loved you and planned on stealing you from me. She succeeded."

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked.

"When? Right after you fucked her? No thank you! You made your bed and now have to sleep in it, but it doesn't mean I have to stop caring for you. I have to go home now."

I was shocked to hear that but later when Mom came home she told me that after school Charly always came over to visit. She would take breaks from doing her homework and help Mom with the kids. They were quite the handful.

Damn! My emotions were all mixed up. I was married now and had a family. I had to do whatever it takes to make it work. I tried to help Candy even more. Nothing seemed to improve all that much. Still had sex once or twice a week. Usually after we went out. I was at somewhat at a loss till I heard a knock at the door. I answered it and it was Charly.

"Charly, what are you doing here. If Candy catches you here she'll go berserk. Much as I hate to I have to ask you to leave."

"She won't be here that soon. I bet you got a call she's working over."

"How do you know that?" I asked.

"I know I shouldn't get involved but I'm worried about you and the kids. I heard at College on Tuesday that a married woman where Candy works is having an affair with a married man. One of the girls at college is a real gossip. She told me and a couple of other girls where she worked. It was part-time at the same agency as Candy.

"She told us that the woman who she wouldn't name stays late on Tuesday and Thursday. So I drove by on Tuesday and there was Candy's car in the parking lot next to one other car. Today is Thursday and I drove by and there it was again."

"Charly, Candy has always called me when she works over. She's never more than an hour late. That doesn't mean she's having an affair. Do you have any kind of proof like pictures that she is being unfaithful to me?"

"No, I don't. I just thought I would tell you what I heard and saw. I'm not trying to be mean or break-up your marriage. I'm sorry, it was stupid for me to even come here. I feel so stupid. It's just that we always watched out for each other and I hate seeing you get hurt. Please, just forget I was here, I was wrong to come here." Again she left me standing there wondering what the hell was going on.

Candy came home and said she needed a shower. She didn't even take the time to kiss me or say hi to the kids. I didn't tell her that Charly stopped by, it would have just been an argument. Candy did say she had something to talk to me about.

We did talk the next evening. The third week of August a number of people in her office would be taking a vacation and going to Atlantic City for four days. The company was having a conference and would be paying for the price of the rooms for the employees plus they would be eating most meals free. She said she was planning on going.

"What about our family? We can't take two little kids to Atlantic City. Besides I can't get off work. I took my vacation when the kids were born."

"You don't have to go. Julie, one of the girls at the office said she would share a room with me. We are going to drive there so we can save some money. My boss is expecting me to go. He said it will help me in the future. I can start studying to become an insurance agent."

"What if I say no? I want you to stay here with me and the kids. They don't get to see you that much. They've been calling my mother mommy."

"No matter what I want, you always are against it. Well, this is my job and I'm going. If you can't give me a little space, then fuck you. This is my future I'm talking about. You can have your precious Charly watch your kids."

"What does Charly have to do with this? I hardly ever see her."

"I know she visits your mom all the time. Do I look like I have ‘stupid' written on my forehead? I know you still care for her. I bet you‘ve been fucking her too"

"I have never done anything wrong with Charly. You're just using her as an excuse to go to Atlantic City. I heard a rumor that someone in your office is having an affair; that wouldn't be you by any chance? If you choose to go to Atlantic City we may not stay married when you get back."

"You're not going anywhere. I'll get your precious kids and you will have a hard time seeing them when I tell the courts about Charly, your girlfriend. As far as me having an affair, I wish I were."

It was two weeks away and we argued about it every day till she had her bags packed and was ready to go. She didn‘t work any overtime for the following two weeks. I had a feeling she was a bit hesitant about me finding out something.

I was lost on what to do. I threatened divorce and she didn't bat an eye. I talked to an old friend at work and he suggested I get a private investigator. He mentioned a good friend of his who handled his divorce. He even accepted credit cards. I talked to a Joe Miller and he listened to my story. I told him I didn't have any proof but I had suspicions my wife was having an affair.

I told him about Atlantic City and gave him a list of the employees that I knew were going. Charly found out who was going from her gossip friend that worked at the agency. I gave Joe a credit card and he charged me five hundred dollars to look into my situation.

He called me a couple of days later and said the manager of the agency was taking his wife. Two other agents were also taking their wives too. He mentioned that Bill Akers, one of the agents, was going solo even though he was married. The only other two people going solo were my wife and her divorced friend Julie.

Joe laughed when he saw Julie's name. He told me he followed her husband and found him cheating on Julie. It lead to their divorce a couple of years back. He did mention he dated her a couple of times after that.

He told me he would accept my case but it would cost me a thousand dollars a day plus some expenses. We figured it would be around five-thousand dollars. I explained to him that I needed proof if she was cheating on me.

I didn't have that kind of money and Joe said if I wanted to put twenty-five hundred down on a credit card, he would charge the balance later. He promised me that if Candy cheated on me he would get me the proof I needed. He would keep me updated daily by e-mail.

I went home wondering if I was doing the right thing. I knew I had to get past these suspicions. If she isn't having an affair I would do my best to make this marriage work. On the other hand, if she was cheating on me, I would start divorce proceedings.

I picked up my kids at Mom's and went home. Candy had left work early and came home and packed her bags for her trip. She kissed the kids and told me, "I'll see you in four days," she said, as she laughed at me.

I really didn't want to be home alone. I took the kids and went and visited one of my friends. They had kids and we enjoyed the evening together. They asked about Candy and I told them she had a mandatory convention to go to and would be gone four days. I did mention I couldn't get off of work since I had used up my vacation.

The next day I stayed at Mom's for dinner. Charly showed up and at first I felt a bit awkward. She knew Candy had gone to Atlantic City. After dinner we all sat around and watched TV. I felt good just having Charly near. Before we knew it we were joking and playing with the kids.

"Charly, what ever happened to the DNA tests you took of me and the twins?"

She became more solemn. I was a bit worried and then she said, "You were right. You are their biological father. I'm sorry I doubted you. I really am happy for you, they're wonderful kids."

Again I could see she was sorry she had interfered. There is no way I could stay mad at her. Deep down I guess I always knew we should have been together but now it was just too late.

I went home that evening, put the kids to bed and went to my computer. I had received some information from Joe.

He told me that he saw Candy, Julie and Bill Akers sharing a table. He said he walked over to Julie and she recognized him. He told her he was there for a few days for a vacation. Julie introduced him to Candy and Bill as an old friend.

He went on to tell me they invited him to sit with them at their table. He pretended to be interested in Julie and asked her to dance. Bill and Candy got up to dance also. He sent me a couple of snapshots from his phone but they didn't prove anything other than they were dancing close.

He explained his plan to me that he was going to date Julie and would have an inside track on what went on. When they all went to their meeting the next day he was going to plant a mini camera in their rooms. He figured if anything went on that's where it would take place.

Friday after work I went home before going to Mom's to pick up the twins. I wanted to check the computer. Joe had a live feed set up in their bedroom. He told me that I wouldn't be able to use it in court since it was taken illegally but I could use whatever he taped as leverage.

He also put an audio bug under one of the beds. He would send me both audio and video files if anything was there to share. I figured it would be the next morning before I would know any more.

I picked up the kids and went next door to visit Ben and Betty Cook. It's been awhile since I have seen them. They played with the kids, who were their grandniece and grandnephew. We talked for a while but they didn't say much about Candy other than we mentioned her trip.

Charly came home and was surprised to see us at their house. Mrs. Cook asked us to stay for dinner. She made macaroni and cheese for the twins. We stayed rather late, I wasn't in a hurry to get home. This felt more like a home to me.

I got up early the next morning and checked the computer before the kids woke up. My worst thoughts were realized. Joe told me after the meeting that he met up with Julie, Candy and Bill and they went out for dinner and drinks.

When it was time to go to their room he asked Julie to his room for a nightcap. Bill went to his room and Candy to hers. He sent a video of Candy talking to Bill on the phone. She told him it was safe to come back that Julie had called and said she was staying the night with Joe.

When Bill got to the room, Candy put her arms around him and began kissing him. I could hear them talking. "God, I missed being with you. We had to make sure we were safe to be together. I need you to make love to me," said Candy.

They stripped and began having sex. The first thing she did was take him orally. All I could do was shake my head; she had to be really drunk to give me oral sex. I watched him fuck her twice before I just shut off the computer. I had seen enough for now. I had two little kids to take care of.

I called a lawyer friend and told him I needed to know my rights when I asked for a divorce. I told him I have tapes and pictures of her with her lover. Even though they might not be admissible, I wanted custody of my kids. We talked for a long time and I let him know I would be back the following week, probably to file for a divorce.

I didn't want to be alone. I needed someone to talk to and I wanted it to be Charly. The problem was I didn't want her to get drawn in on the divorce. Candy already said she would involve Charly if I tried divorcing her.

I decided to call Candy at the hotel. She answered her phone and sounded like she had been drinking.

"Candy, you haven't called so I thought I would call you. How are you doing?"

"I'm fine, meetings all day and Julie and I had dinner together. I'm getting ready for bed now. It's been pretty boring over all. I have to take a shower, I'll see you in a couple of days. Bye."

I knew she was lying. I heard a man's voice in the background. She didn't even ask how me or the kids were doing. I'd probably have pictures of her later.

As I was sitting and playing with the kids there was a knock at the door. I answered it and it was Charly. "Hi, thought you might like some company," said Charly.

She came in and we talked. She was the one person that I could always talk to. She asked me why I was so gloomy and I told her that she was right. Candy was cheating on me and I was going to divorce her when she came home.

"How do you know for sure, Jeff? I was out of place telling you about her possible affair at her work place. You can hardly divorce her over rumors."

"I'm having a PI following her in Atlantic City. I know it was wrong but I had to know for sure. He sent me some files on her and a Bill Akers having sex."

"Oh God, I'm so sorry. That fucking bitch! I ought to kick her ass," replied Charly.

"I'm worried about the kids. I told her if she went to Atlantic City, I might divorce her when she gets back. She laughed at me and said she would tell a judge about me and you."

"But we've never done anything wrong, only talked. She doesn't have anything against us. I almost wish she did," responded Charly.

"What?"

"Keep your shirt on Jeff. It means I always cared for you and sometimes wondered what if we were together. Haven't you ever thought about me like that?"

"Many, many times, but I was stupid and went after your cousin. The rest is history."

The kids were in bed and we talked of what could have been. As much as I wanted to hold her and kiss her, I was a married man. I was going to honor my vows. If I didn't I would be no better than Candy.

"Jeff, if you get divorced, I'll be here to help you through it. I'd never abandon you. You'll always be my best Bud." I did give her a hug.

It was near midnight and I didn't even want to check the emails. I had seen enough that morning. There was a knock on the door and it startled Charly and me. "Who could it be at this hour?" I wondered.

I heard the rap again and got up to answer it. There were two highway patrolmen standing there.

"Are you Jeffery Holder?" asked the officer.

"Yes Sir, but what... why are you here? Especially at this time of night?"

"May we come in? We have some very sad news to tell you."

"Sorry, yes please come in." They saw Charly sitting there, I figured they were wondering who she was. "Mr. Holder, please sit down."

"What's this all about? I've been home all evening," I said as I sat down. Charly hadn't said a word.

"Mr. Holder, are you married to Candy Holder?"

"Yes I am. She's in Atlantic City. What did she do?"

"She was killed in an auto accident, Mr. Holder. It happened a couple of hours ago."

I was stunned; I couldn't speak. I sat there stunned.

Charly spoke. " Officer, Candy is my cousin. I'm here to help Jeff with the kids. Can you tell us what exactly happened?

"We got a call from Atlantic City where an accident occurred. We were asked to notify the next of kin. She had her purse and drivers license and we were asked to contact Mr. Holder. We're very sorry for your loss."

"I talked to her a few hours ago. She said she was going to take a shower and go to bed. She never drove while drinking. I was always the designated driver."

"She wasn't alone Mr. Holder. She was a passenger, but it was her vehicle. Are you familiar with a Bill Akers? He was driving her vehicle and was driving under the influence."

"I've met him a couple of times. Why was she with him? Did he die also?"

"No, he's in critical condition in the hospital. That's all we can tell you for now. If you need more information you can contact the Atlantic City police tomorrow. Again we're sorry for your loss."

Chapter 3

After the officers left, I broke down and cried. Thank God, Charly was there, she cried with me. My thoughts were coming way too fast. ‘What should I do now? Her parents deserve to know, my parents need to know also.' I wondered if I should wait till morning to call anyone. What was to gain to interrupt their sleep?

Charly said she would stay with me tonight. I shouldn't be alone.

"What will people think? My wife was killed and you are in my apartment?" I asked Charly.

"I don't care what people think. I'm not leaving you here alone. Besides, tomorrow is Saturday and I can help by watching the kids while you notify people. Jeff, we'll get through this, I promise."

I told Charly to take the bed and I'd sleep on the couch. I wouldn't be getting much sleep anyway. It was after two in the morning when Charly went to try and get some sleep. I went over to the computer to see if Joe knew what happened.

First, I got some files of her and Bill kissing. Then she was undressing in front of him. The phone rang and she was talking to me. All the while Bill was fingering her and rubbing her tits. After she hung up she finished her drink and got dressed. She and Bill left the apartment.

After that I had a long e-mail from Joe but no audio or visual files. "Jeff, if you're reading this you must have been told of Candy's death. I'm getting off the case now. No use wasting your money. I'll be back in town tomorrow if you want to see me. We'll just call it even for the advance. I was able to take the bugs and camera out of Candy's room. I know the police will be searching it. Sorry for your loss."

At seven, I called my parents and told them about Candy's death. I did mention I didn't know the whole story but that she was a passenger in her car. An agent where she works was driving her vehicle. I didn't know any more than that but I would find out more today.

Mom was crying and told me she would be there for me. I told her I would see her later and now had to call Candy's parents. Bob, Candy's father answered the phone. "Jeff, is something wrong with one of the kids? It's only seven."

"Bob, I got a call early this morning and Candy was killed in an auto accident in Atlantic City. The police stopped here and told me." I heard Bob break down. He told his wife Alice and I heard her scream in the background.

"Are they sure it's Candy?" asked Bob.

"Yes, they had her purse and it was her car. She was with a fellow employee who was driving. I think they hit a post but I don't know. I'll find out later today. I'm calling the Atlantic City police department."

They asked me to keep them informed and if I needed anything to give them a call. I made a pot of coffee and tried to figure out what I would do today. Charly had gotten up and came in the kitchen and just gave me a hug. We held each other for what seemed like a couple of minutes. She had tears in her eyes.

After the kids got up, we fed them and Charly got them dressed. I dropped them off at Mom's. Charly told me she would tell her parents about Candy.

Mom said she would keep the kids all day so I could do what I had to do. I had to contact the Atlantic City police department. I also wanted to talk to Joe Miller.

I contacted the police first. I explained to them who I was. They asked a lot of personal questions verifying I was Jeff Holder.

"We're sorry for your loss, Mr. Holder. I'm guessing you want some particulars in your wife's death. She was a passenger in her vehicle driven by Bill Akers. Preliminary tests showed both had consumed enough alcohol so that they were drunk.

"Mr. Akers hit a light pole at a high rate of speed. Your wife didn't have on her seatbelt and was found pinned under the dashboard. The impact had broken her neck. The medical examiner said she died very quickly."

"What about Bill Akers? Is he still alive?" I asked.

"Yes, he is in very critical condition. He is in surgery as we speak. He sustained major damage to his lower extremities. His chest was crushed against the steering column. He will be going through more surgeries. He has a fifty-fifty chance of survival at this point."

"He isn't going to be able to go scot-free if he survives, will he?"

"No Mr. Holder. He will be charged with vehicular homicide in the death of your wife. He was drunk well beyond the legal limit."

"Sir, what do I do now? You know, my wife's body and all."

"I would suggest you get a lawyer and he will handle having the body sent to a mortuary of your choosing. We will also send her personal belongings with her body. I'll fax an accident report to your lawyer for all your insurance purposes. Again Mr. Holder, I'm very sorry for your loss."

After speaking with the police department, I got hold of the lawyer I had talked to a week before. He was surprised to hear from me so soon. I told him about the death of my wife and asked if he could help me out. He said he would meet me in a couple of hours at his office.

He received the fax about the accident and they would be sending my wife's body to the funeral home that I had chosen. They said it would be a couple of days. The lawyer said he would take care of all the legal matters. We had our insurance company to deal with, plus my wife's life insurance where she worked and God knows what else I might need to do.

Later he would deal with any other legal matters that arose. I was thankful to have a caring lawyer.

The next person I talked to was Joe Miller. He was very sympathetic with my situation. He told me he stopped sending files when he heard about the accident. He said he was with Julie at the time. He wasn't aware that Bill and Candy had left the hotel until he didn't see them on the visual.

I asked him if there was anything he could add about the accident? Why wasn't Candy wearing a seatbelt? What did the police mean when they said Bill was having surgery on his lower extremities?

"Jeff, I talked to a friend at the police station. Are you sure you want to know these things? The press got the same story that you were told."

"So, what wasn't I told, Joe?"

"Candy wasn't wearing a seatbelt because she was giving Bill oral sex. When he came in her mouth she went to get up quickly and hit the steering wheel. He lost control and she fell forward under the dashboard as he hit a light post. She literally bit off his cock. It was in her mouth when they found her. I'm not sure if she choked on his cock or broke her neck first."

"What a horrible way to die."

"According to the report she didn't suffer long. As for Bill Akers, he will be suffering for a very long time. He did get his cock sewed back on but he'll be lucky to piss out of it. He collapsed a lung, broke a number of ribs and damaged his spleen. They might find more damage while they are operating. If he makes it through all of that, he will face vehicular homicide charges."

I thanked Joe and needed to talk to Charly. I called her and she met me for coffee. "What is it Jeff? What did you find out?"

"I don't know how much I should tell everyone." I told her the whole story that Joe had told me.

"Don't tell it to anyone, Jeff. Don't ruin the memories that everyone has of her. Just go along with the printed story that says they hit a post and she was killed. You can say they were coming back from a dinner. You have no reason to get even with her. She is the mother of your kids and you want her parents in the kids' lives. Nothing would be gained by spewing insults about her. You‘re much better than that."

Charly was so much more level-headed than I was. I had a copy of the police report and that's what I told people.

Candy's parents help me pick out the funeral arrangements. I felt they needed a way to mourn. Charly suggested it. She also said she would stay in the background during the services. We had a nice service and it was well attended by my friends and by Candy's friends and fellow employees. I knew that some of them were aware of her cheating on me by the way they talked to each other.

I stood there with Candy's parents and greeted everyone. Mom and Dad paid their respects and went home to watch the kids so Charly could come to the funeral home. I wished I could have hugged her longer and sat beside her but it might not have seemed appropriate.

After the funeral I had a long talk with Mom and Dad. It would just be too hard for me to care for the kids myself. We all agreed that I would move back home to my parents' house. I could have my old room back and the twins could share the spare room.

I started back to work after taking time off for the funeral. I didn't work any overtime. I really didn't have a need to. One day I got a call from my lawyer and he told me to stop by Candy's employer. It was to pick up her personal things and they had the life insurance check as well as money from Candy's savings plan.

Most of the employees paid their respects again but I could see that some, like Julie, did their best to avoid me. I wanted to yell at them and tell them that I knew about Candy's cheating and how two-faced they all were but like Charly said, "Let it go."

Because it was considered an accidental death I received a hundred thousand dollars, plus a few thousand from her savings. I took the money and put it in the bank for now. I figured I would invest it later for the kids' education.

I also got a large payment from the auto insurance company. They paid for accidental death and for Candy's car. My lawyer had talked to Bill Akers insurance company also. I actually collected more money from his insurance company since he was driving Candy's car.

I paid my lawyer his fees and thanked him for not bringing up the possible divorce. He just smiled and shook my hand.

****

Life was back to some thing like normal. To say I didn't miss Candy would be a lie. She was my wife and the mother of my kids. I cared for her but I guess she just wanted more than I had to offer.

The kids were growing and speaking a few words. They was funny how they began calling the older women in their life, Nana. That would be their Grandparents and also Charly's mom. The younger women like my sister and Charly they called Mama. How they knew any difference I didn't know. I did know I was Dada.

I wish I knew what was a normal period of morning. I wanted to get serious with Charly but I wanted to wait the proper time. I was still mixed up and doing the best I could. My parents were wonderful in helping me. They treated Charly like another daughter but they have always done that.

Candy's parents would come and see the kids or I would take them over to see them every week. They treated me ok but I doubt I was ever on their favorites list. A few months had gone by and they asked if they could throw a birthday party for the kids at their house.

Everyone showed up, my parents along with my sisters family. Charly and her parents were there also, seeing they were relatives. Bob had asked to talk to me alone and we went in the other room.

"Jeff, I guess you know that we didn't want Candy to marry you. Everyone wants the best for their kids. I now know that you are a good person and the truth about Candy. I did a little investigating and found out that Candy had been cheating on you.

"I know you knew about it but did all you could to keep anyone from knowing. It could have really ruined her image as well as our family's. I want to thank you for that. Alice and I both want to see you go on with your life. You have mourned enough for such a young man.

"We feel you should get back into dating and maybe find a wonderful wife for our grandbabies. Again we want to thank you for the respect you showed our family."

I had tears in my eyes and hugged the big military guy. I knew it was hard for him to say. I didn't ask where he got his information but didn't disagree with it either.

We had a great party for the kids. Before I left I told Bob and Alice that they would always be in the kids' life no matter what my future brings.

One weekend Charly came over all dressed up and asked to see Mom. She looked beautiful.

"Why are you all dressed up?" I asked.

"I'm going to a party next weekend and wanted your mother's opinion on my outfit." Before I could say anything else Mom came into the room.

"You look gorgeous, you'll have all the boys chasing after you. Doesn't she look beautiful Jeff?" asked Mom.

"Yes she does." I wasn't sure what to say. I was about to ask her out on a real date this weekend and here she was all dressed up and finding the right clothes for a date. I was afraid to ask who she was going with.

"Thanks Mom, I better go home and change. Talk at you later, Jeff." She walked out smiling.

"Mom, has Charly been dating?" I asked.

"My Lord, of course she has. She doesn't go out very often because of school, homework and watching after you and the kids, but yes she's been on a few dates. Why do you ask?"

"No reason in particular. I just never knew it. She usually tells me everything."

"Do you really want her to tell you about her dating? I don't think so. She's a wonderful person and I want the best for her just like I want the best for you."

Charly came back over later and we sat on the porch and talked.

"You looked beautiful earlier," I said.

She kind of laughed and said, "What do I usually look like?" I knew she was joking.

"Charly, how come you never told me you dated?"

"Jeff, you were going out with Candy and before I knew it you two got married. That pretty much took me out of the picture."

"Where's the party at that you're going to?"

"It's not actually a party but a wedding of one of my classmates. It's in Columbus so we have a room for the night."

I heard the word ‘we' and my stomach tightened up. I felt sad and wasn't sure what to say.

"Good thing he has more money than me because I couldn't afford to stay at the hotel," said Charly. I was so mixed up. I thought we could finally get together and now this.

"Who are you going with Charly?' I asked.

She stared at me before answering. It seemed like minutes but was only a couple of seconds.

"You, Jeff. I want you to go with me to the wedding." Now I was really confused.

"Are you saying you want me to take you to the wedding? What about this other guy?"

"There isn't another guy. I want a real date with you not just a buddies' night out. I talked with your mother and she told me to do it this way. You needed to be shaken up a little. So are you going to take me? Your Mom said she would watch the twins."

Mom walked out on the porch. "Did you ask him yet, Charly?"

"Yes, I'm waiting for his answer," replied Charly.

"Of course I'll take you. All you had to do was ask."

"This is an important date Jeff. I'm really sticking my neck out here. I'll be introducing you to all my friends at school and not as my buddy."

Saturday came and I picked up Charly. She looked so beautiful. I wished it was us getting married. I cared for her so much. We checked into the hotel and she did have the room in my name. I had to laugh when they asked me for my credit card. Charly stood there and was almost laughing.

We went to our room and I realized that Charly and I would be spending the night together. Of course I knew it but didn't give it much thought. We freshened up a little and headed to the wedding.

After the wedding we headed to the reception. Charly introduced me as Jeff, her boyfriend. I loved the sound of that. We sat at a table with some of her friends and it was like seeing another side of Charly. We danced and I held her close.

I watched her dance with some of her friends. She kept looking at me while she danced. I think she knew I was feeling jealous. Finally I was with her again. I kissed her, it just happened. It was sweet yet passionate.

"Was it like kissing your sister?" She laughed at me because that's what I said to her when I was eleven. I just kissed her again.

At the end of the evening we went back to our room. Charly asked me to unfasten the back of her dress. She slipped it off and went into the bathroom. I took off my suit and shirt.

Charly stepped out in a red negligee. She looked so damn sexy. I still had on my briefs and a tee shirt. "Jeff, before we go any further I need you to tell me you love me. You know I've always loved you."

"Charly, it took me awhile to realize that the reason you were always my best friend was that because deep down I loved you. The problem was I found out too late. Please forgive me, I love you with all my heart."

We kissed and turned off the lights. The only light was coming from the bathroom. I kissed Charly over and over. "I just put the negligee on and I already have to take it off." Charly was smiling.

She had nothing on underneath it. She sat on the edge of the bed. "Do I need a condom, Charly?"

"No, I've been on the pill ever since you got Candy pregnant. If I had sex, I wanted to be protected."

She lay back on the bed and I got between her legs and began kissing her trimmed mound. "You smell so damn good," I remarked. I kissed her mound and then worked down to her pussy.

I spread her lips and was ready to stick my tongue in her when I saw her hymen. I wasn't sure what to say. I was glad she spoke.

"I said I took birth control pills, I never mentioned that I had intercourse. Just be gentle with me, or I'll kick your ass." We both laughed.

I kissed and sucked on her pussy till she became very wet. I got up and got a towel and slid it under her butt. I took off my shirt and briefs and began rubbing my cock against her pussy entrance. I held her legs up and then put them on my shoulders.

"Easy, Baby," she said. "I'm ready whenever you are."

I gave a slight push and the head of my cock went in. It busted her hymen. "It's ok, Jeff, that wasn't too bad, keep going."

It was only minutes later when we were making love. I used long slow steady strokes. She felt so good. She was telling me how good it felt and how much she always loved me. How could I have been so stupid and blind my whole life to not notice?

She began to come and she was moving her pussy in rhythm with me. We sped up and she screamed out. I pushed my cock all the way into her and held it there while I came.

She used the towel to wipe off the blood and our cum. She threw it on the floor and got in the middle of the bed. I got another towel and put it under her ass. I lay next to her and began rubbing her breasts. She wasn't really big but her tits were very firm.

I leaned over and began sucking on her nipples. It wasn't long before I was entering her again. She felt so hot and so good. I made it last as long as I could. After I came the second time, she turned over on her side and I cuddled up against her ass. Before I knew it I was fast asleep.

When I woke up the next morning we were still laying the same way we went to sleep. I felt a morning hard-on coming on and pushed it past her ass and into her already wet pussy. She pushed back against me and it wasn't long before we both came.

She got up and took a shower. Afterwards I took one also. When I came out of the bathroom she had us both a cup of coffee but first she told me how wonderful I was and kissed me.

On our way home I asked her to elope with me and we could go get married. She didn't answer so I asked her again. "Charly, would you like to take off with me and become my wife?"

She looked over at me. "No Jeff, I won't elope with you and get married."

I was shocked. "I thought you loved me, that being together last night was to show our love for each other. Why won't you marry me? Is it because of the kids?"

"Jeff, I love you more than anyone and nobody loves those kids more than me."

"Than why won't you marry me? I don't understand."

"I never said I wouldn't marry you. I said I wouldn't elope with you. Ever since I was a little girl I always wanted that big wedding and me in a white gown. I know I told you that a thousand times while we were growing up.

"I want the church wedding and my Mom in a beautiful dress and Dad walking me down the aisle. I'm an only child and I would never take that away from them. If you want to wait till I finish college, I'm in my last semester. We can get married in June at the beginning of summer. By then we can find a place to live and I can have the wedding I've always wanted, along with the man I've always wanted."

I know I had tears coming down my cheeks. I told Charly it must be my allergies.

"Jeff, no one know you better than me and you don't have allergies." We both laughed.

We told my parents and Charly's about the wedding plans. Her mom and dad were so excited. My Mom had tears in her eyes, she has always loved Charly but would never interfere in my life.

Charly said we had to go see her Uncle Bob and Aunt Alice, Candy's parents. They seemed a bit surprised when they answered the door seeing me and Charly together. Charly addressed Bob but both he and Alice were together.

"Uncle Bob, I need to talk to you. Jeff and I are getting married in June. We would like your acceptance. I know there were rumors flying about that Jeff and I being intimate while he was married to Candy. I stand here before you to tell you it isn't true. We never as much kissed while he was married. I can't say I didn't care for him because I did but at the time he chose Candy. Jeff and I stayed friends but I swear we were never intimate."

Bob walked over and gave Charly a hug. "Charly, I believe you and besides I know you don't need my permission to marry Jeff. Alice and I wish you both the best. I can't think of another woman that I would want to be the mother of our grandchildren."

Time was going by and we went house hunting and found a nice place with a yard for the kids. We put down a down payment to hold it for us. After Charly graduated she spent most of her free time planning our wedding. She did find a job at a local doctor's office.

I help her as much as I could sending out invitations, help with the catering and of course spending time with my kids. They were now calling Charly, Carwee. It sounds so cute when they say it. Pretty soon they will be calling her Mommy.

The wedding went even better than planned. Charly looked like an angel in her white gown. The kids wobbled down the aisle as ring bearer and flower girl. After we said our ‘I Do's' we all headed over to a hall for a large reception.

After the reception Charly and I made love most of the night. We then took a trip for a few days to Branson, Missouri.

When we arrived home we went to our new home with banners and signs welcoming us home. The twins along with our family and friends were there to greet us.

Epilogue:

It's been four months since our wedding. Charly is now officially 'Mommy' and she loves it. I'm still Dada. Everything has been wonderful. Our kids have six wonderful grandparents that love them. Mom still watches them while we work but Betty has been spending a little more time with my Mom. We do our best to see Bob and Alice at least once a week. They are always welcome to our home.

Charly just came home and told me to sit down. She had something she needed to tell me.

Again my emotions were mixed up, expecting the worst.

"Jeff, I stopped taking the pill a couple of days before our wedding. I'm here to inform you that you are one potent man. I'm pregnant!"

I broke down and cried. They were tears of joy.

It might be the end of the story but the start of a great life with a woman I have always loved.
