Must Read: An Incest Birthday (18+)

“Oh mom I’m back. So yeah, I knew it was gonna happen, I just wasn’t ready for it.”

“Who’s ever ready to cut ties with their parents? I know I wasn’t,” mom said.


“You never really said what happened with you and grandma and grandpa.”
“It was a long time ago. You were still a kid when the whole thing happened, but you were old enough to notice that they weren’t coming around anymore. Now’s not the best time to get into that story, so long story short, I had to make a choice, and I chose my kids.”
“Don’t you miss talking to grandma though? You guys were best friends.”
“All the time, but a best friend wouldn’t give you an ultimatum like that. Mother or not, there’s no way I’d pick her over my kids, no mother in her right mind would.”
“Remind me to ask you what happened later on down the road, but first I still need some help with this situation. So going off what happened with you and grandma, we’re supposed to pick each other and forget about you two for the rest of our lives?”
“It might not happen quite like that, but you will have to make a tough decision soon, the both of you. This is the only time I’ve ever seen your father this way in the twenty plus years I’ve known him, so I don’t know what to make of this. The only news I have is the bad news you already know, that once he’s made up his mind about something there’s no changing it.”



“Mom there has to be something. We can’t just phase you guys out like that!”
“I for one won’t be phased out. If you can’t come to me I’ll come to you two. We’ll have holidays, weekends, and some random drop-ins. I know Lisa won’t let herself be phased out either. Plus with all this technology there’s Skype, FaceTime, Snapchat and all that other stuff.”


“After being around each other our entire lives, I don’t think Skype will cut it.”
“Some days we won’t have a choice, might as well get ready for it now, unless your father wakes up one day and decides to be ok with everything, which is a long shot.”
“Way beyond long shot. He had a point though the night everybody was here. We all made him seem like the crazy one for thinking what we’re doing is ok when anyone outside the house would condemn us in a second. I think that’s what set him off the most.”


“We probably could’ve agreed with him on some things, yeah, but we we’re supporting your happiness. Sometimes doing the right thing isn’t doing the right thing.”
“You stole that from that one movie with Samuel Jackson in it, I remember that line.”


“Yeah well good luck figuring out which movie.


He’s been in everything since 1987.”
We shared a laugh and for a brief moment forgot about the whole mess we were talking about, but then just like that the laughter stopped and reality set back in, everything’s still a mess.
“Ok well I won’t hold you up anymore. I know you must have a million things to do,” I said.
“I’m never too busy to talk to my babies, you two remember that.”
“We will. If anything changes, even if it’s the slightest thing, can you let us know?”
“If anything happens I’ll call you as soon as it does, I promise.”
“Ok mom, talk to you later. You know what, can we meet somewhere later? At Mikey’s pizza?



Dad is gonna be at work but it’s still risky going there. Can you meet us, you and Aunt Lisa?”
“I think we can arrange that. I’ll call Lisa and let her know. When did you wanna go?”
“Ummm, around, in like an hour and a half.

We’re out of clean clothes.”
“That’s ok. It’ll give Lisa enough time to get here. We’ll see you both there.”
I hung up the phone and went back upstairs to Chris’ room, which was empty on account of him being in Stephanie’s room. I turned on the TV and la!d back, trying to will myself to take a nap so I wouldn’t have to think about anything. It didn’t work. In fact, I did the exact opposite. No matter what angle I looked at it from there was no solution where everybody wins. It reminded me of that movie The Butterfly Effect where Ashton Kutcher’s character couldn’t win no matter what page he read, except when he figured it out at the end, but would we have to do that same thing? Questions like this were why I was trying to take a nap. The door creaked open and Rita came in and saw me laying there deep in thought. She didn’t say anything, she just came in, la!d down next to me, put my arm around her and lay her head on my chest. I hugged her back and lay there with her for what seemed like hours, but was probably ten minutes.
“What did mom say?” Rita asked finally breaking the silence.
“Nothing good. She and Aunt Lisa are gonna meet us at Mikey’s in a little bit.”
“What’s a little bit? Shouldn’t we be getting up and going then?”
“No not now, we still have upwards of an hour before we have to go.”


“Oh, ok. You still think we should go to Ashley’s and stay?”
“At this point, I don’t know. The whole reason for doing that was so dad wouldn’t come over and make a scene, but he hasn’t shown his face in a week, so that cancels it out.”
“It does feel like we’re overstaying our welcome like you said before.”
“Yeah that was the other thing. They may not show it but us being here so long has to bother them somehow. They can’t be as free as they would be if we weren’t here.”
“So is that a yes or no for Ashley’s? It sounds like we’re still at a standstill.”
“I still don’t know. We could let mom and Aunt Lisa decide for us when we talk to them later?”
“I’m ok with that. She’s probably been dying to get us alone again anyways.”
“Well you more than me. I was just there for show last time. She knows we’re a package deal.”
“Show? Her face was inches away from your balls! You basically came on her! For someone who needs to get used to guys again she got awfully close to you in no time.”
“It’s Ashley. She’s unpredictable. We used to be like that, actually we still kinda are.”
“Remember the time at the movie theatre when that lady was trying to get in the stall?”
“That was funny. Remember in the dressing room with all those people walking by?”
“Neither one of those beat the time we were at Cedar Point in the woods.”



I sighed. “Things were much simpler then. Why can’t we go back to any of those times.”
Before Rita could answer Jim and Marie knocked on the door and pushed it the rest of the way open. They were dressed like they were about to go on a hiking trip.
