You learn most of the truth, and are given the last remains so to speak.

You awaken with a knock on your door, you find your arm draped over Charlies stomach with your hand tucked between her in hers she is holding it. You look to your door to see your mother enter, she does not seem upset to see an older woman in your bed or that you are napping she comes over to shake your shoulder only to find your a wake. Your mother puts a finger over her mouth and turns around to walk out waving for you to wake up Charlie and follow her out but not to rush it so it seems. You just nod and watch as your mother shuts the door.

You snuggle closer to Charlie and kiss her on her neck, you slowly remove your hand from hers and tuck your hand under her shirt and rub her stomach this does not seem to wake her. So you run you hand slowly up her body, til you get to her chest. You lightly rub the underside of her breast in the bra, you get no response so you bring your fingers up over the up and rub the top side still no response. So you feel around a bit and realize its a sports bra meaning you should be able to sleep your hand in under it or push it up, so you push softly on the underside and slide the bra up over both breasts. You then bring your hand fully over one of then and start to play with one of her nipples. She quickly grips your hand under her shirt and lets out a moan.

She of course is not angry, it's pretty clear when she says " Well, that is a hell of a way to wake a girl up. I mean you could of nudged me a bit or something. Not to say I am upset it was just the first time it was ever done so you can see how it might be a little scary to realize someone is playing with my nipple." She looks around a moment and says " It does not help when I am in a dark room I have never seen in the dark either."

You rub her nipple and breast a moment longer before putting your hand on her side and drawing her over and toward you, and kiss her on the lips well you rub her back. She moans into your mouth and says " Now that is better, I like that."

You suck on her lower lip a second before saying " My parents are home, my mother came in to wake me. But I heard the knock on the door, I tried to find the best way to do it but I figured. I would rather touch you."

She kisses you one last time and says " It's fine, I like it. Maybe from now on, I will be sure not to wear a bra when I lay down with you. This way you get easier access, you see I felt the movement from about the point you pulled up my bra. I just had not registered what it was tell you took hold of a full breast."

You nod to yourself in the darkness as sit up and add " So time to fix it back into place and for the two of us to go talk to my parents or whatever, I am sure my sister and yours did a fair job of informing them of whats going on if my cousins did not already."

Charlie of course groans and says " See this is why I don't like family, they expect this or that and then they talk down to you when you don't get it right. Its one more reason I am currently here instead of back home."

You kiss her cheek as she sits up and says " No need to worry, I am sure if my parents had been really upset my mother would not have responded like she had when she came in here to wake me."

Charlie reaches under her shirt and pulls down the sports bra and says " Fine, I guess your right I mean she could have just screamed. I and I much prefer this way instead of that way."

You smile as she stands up and reach out and grab her ass before you stand up yourself and say " I like your ass more then the others, I mean sure Kaylee and Faith both have an ass that screams grab me. But yours just says touch me, be kind rub it and so on."

Charlie grins at you in the darkness and opens the door and says " Keep your hands to yourself, I expect to make a good impression on your parents and if your grabbing at me I don't think that will look so good will it?"

You shrug as the two of you leave your room and say " It could be worse I could show disinterest in you and everything, I am sure that would piss them off for sure."

Charlie laughs and says " Ok I see the point but you should see mine as well."

You grab her hand and say " I will meet yeah half way." And the two of you walk into the living room, once in the living room the couch is free so the two of you sit down. Your mother walks in with three cups and places them on the table, you half expected your father to give you this talk and you kinda wonder where Skye is off to or your sister. Either way you shrug, and look at your mother waiting for her to talk.

You mother explains " Your father wanted me to talk to the two of you first, we already talked to Skye and we know what happen in the school more or less. And since the terms or reasons of why it happen is all on the back of a government suggested program we can't really be to mad about it, we can dislike it but we look at the growth or future growth of are family in a positive way so we can't hate it."

You just look at your mother a little shocked, you figured she would be relaxed but not this relaxed and she keeps talking and says " We heard from his cousins that, he believes at least 12 woman or young woman as well as teachers it seems are interested in him maybe more? I am not sure how I feel about this but at the time he has always had is own way of dealing with things. So if it does end up 12 all I can do is wish him luck."

Charlie looks at your mother a second and then says " You do realize, that in some of these cases people will not be required to be married to all of them correct? and that in others they may it really depends on the people and the way things are taken or understood by the people around them."

Your mother of course nods and says " His father would have taken a second wife if he was able to afford, but his father has family issues from his past as well as the practical sense not to attempt it. But times are different now and if grown women wish to be with my son so be it, this should help allow him and the others the time to go to college."

Charlie nods and says " The government plans to help pay for it for them, even your daughter Tina will have assistance paying back your family debt and so on for her education if there is any as well as other stuff, for her part in it as well when that time comes."

You mother looks at you and eyes you a second and then says " That is another thing his father wishes to talk to him about, but I feel you two should drink what I brought you to drink before that time. My eldest daughter and your sister went for a drive in that car you brought I hope that is ok, your sister said something about wanting to practice to driving and when I pointed out she might need to well you get the idea. She explained she had a license but had not driven in a while or at night so my daughter took her to practice I hope it really is ok."

Charlie thinks for a second then picks up the cup and smells it and realizes it happens to be a strong alcoholic drink, she shakes the cup without looking in it and notices it happens to be on ice and asks " I figure this is a sipping drink, and that it mostly happens to be a form of whiskey correct?"

Your mother nods at Charlie and says " I was asking your sister more about your family because my daughter had explained you had gone to take a nap with my son well waiting for are return, she explained your family origin and my husband had taken a look at what he had to serve you to drink based on it. The best we could come up with was a 60 percent **** content when it was bottled, the bottle was 12 years old when they bottled it but we have had it for quite while. It happens to be an old bottle, we had been saving it for a day like this pretty much."

You ask your mother, " Is it like the bottle of vodka uncle Fred gave me on my 16th birthday?"

You mother more or less nods and simply says " Your father, learned quickly to respect some culture parts of my side of the family and one of them happen to be the saving of fine alcoholic products for special things. This bottle, is different thou. This bottle was your father's and he had for a long time, a very long time. This should be explained by your father but the rest of the bottle will be yours after today, and I would say pay some respects to the gods before you let the others drink from it."

You look at your mother funny a second, but then Charlie says " The Scots have a tradition of the same sense, fine drink for fine times for fine reasons. If you can't save your money for later days, at least safe a good drink for a better time."

Your mother smiles and says " Very good, very good in deed."

A moment later your father steps out with simply a shot of the bottle and the bottle in hand, he steps up to the chair on the other side of the living room table across from your mother and sits down. He sets the bottle on the table, and then takes his shot. He looks at you then at Charlie and then says " Many things need to be said, things your cousins may or may not have realized or known. Things your uncle has been waiting to be said, many things."

Your mother picks up her drink and takes a sip so you figure this is a sign you should drink yours entirely, and Charlie seems to follow suit as your father starts to talk. He says " You are not really are son, I don't mean we don't care for you or love you any less then we would if you had been burn to your mother or not. You see your father was my adopted brother, he died at war your mother died during your birth. And my wife, your mother so to speak had just had your sister a few years before and was still nursing. Your uncle Fred had offered to take you in as his son because Hailey had just been born. But because he already had one it was decided I would take care of you as my father had taken care of yours. Your little brother was named after your father, not your grandfather as you had always figured. Then again it's part of the reason we never talked about my side of the family, we tried hard for a long time not to expose this to you. We figured you would be a much more stable person to believe that we are your parents til the time game to tell you other wise."

Your mother looks at you a moment and says " Your real mother's family had also died in the conflicted so more or less both of your parents had been adopted orphans. But you had family, you had your uncle. Your father, to look after you. He saw to it, but he was unsure with the stories of pain and the way it affected things. How to relate this to you, but before you made it home today. Your cousin Hailey had been talking to your uncle Fred and when he learned he suspected you knew the truth as well as other things that had been told to him, he was not happy not happy at all."

You look at your mother and ask " Why was uncle Fred unhappy with it?"

You father looks at you and says " You had promised Hailey in mocking play long ago when you had been younger that you would marry her when uncle Fred had later heard this from her, he took it as your word and well as strange as it might be for first cousins to be married this would not be an issue because in fact your not related to any of your relatives, but if you where to have children with a cousin or even your elder sister this would stake a more solid hold to your claims as family. Your grand parents have even been thinking about it for a long time it is one of the reasons they always praise you so much."

Charlie just looks at them and says " I guess you had expected for them to say this after what you said Hailey had said John yet another prediction to go the way you figured it."

Your mother looks at Charlie and says " That is another thing we need to talk about, John your real father had a knack for knowing when things would not turn out good. Before he had gone off to fight in the war, knowing his brother and grandfather had been against it. He had his brother promise to look after anyone he left behind, he had felt that your mother or you would need it. Which is why in the end you did not go to live with my brother but stayed with us, but he had felt something bad would happen."

Your father reaches into his pocket and pulls out something and holds out his hand so you put it up and into it he drops two rings and says " These are yours, I looked after them." He reaches into the other pocket and pulls out something else and places it into the same hand and closes your fist around it, he seems pretty upset on the whole but then says " I have kept watch over them long enough, they are now yours to protected."

You move your hand back towards you and open it, its clear he had put your parents wedding rings and your fathers dog tags into your hand. You ask your father " So I understand how you might have had my real mothers ring, but how did you get my fathers?"

Your mother looks at you and says " Your father left it behind, he felt it safer for your mother to keep close to her as good luck then it was to take it to war with him. Sadly the only thing of him to return was the dog tags, he died after about 3 months of combat. Your mother went into labor a 4 or so weeks early and died giving birth from the shock the dog tags and the news."

You look down at the dog tags and it clearly says Zed on it as well as your current last name, and you look at your father and say " I guess that means he had taken your family name when he was adopted then?"

Your father nods and says " That is one more reason you have been here with me, it was hard to determined custody rights for a long time and they still have issues with it. So it was just easier for you to have my last name when I took custody of you. And since it was the name reported of your father it was easy for us to get them to give you to us, we considered getting it legally changed since Fred and us had been trying to consider which family it might be best for him to grow up with. Now that has already happen I think you having an older brother Zev would have been good for you. I know your elder sister always picking on you and hitting on you has been a pretty bad experiences considering you did not know all of this til today."

You just smile and take in stride and say " So whats the expectations now? I can understand Hailey being interested in me. Gypsy also seemed to voice some issue with me being in office with Charlie earlier, she also exposed herself to me and seemed to think nothing of it. I have no idea how either of them responded to the announcement that was given by the school staff, and mostly supported by the statements I told my fellow students from my own experience with the things I have been subjected to as odd as it was during this day. A day for which I honestly have to say you two seemed to have started on a bad foot."

You mother smirks and says " Your sister knew what was going on, I told her to go wake you up. I did not expect you to accidentally expose yourself to her, or for that matter for her to expose herself to you. She explained it to me before she left earlier after we got back, Skye also already asked if you can stay at there house. I figured you would be."

Your Father now looks at you and says " So son, I know you will not think of us any different because that is not who you are. You will still treat us as what we are the only real question is how are you going to allow this information to affect anything in regards to this program the government has put on your back, based on what Skye has said. Because of what Kaylee has been having you do."

You look at your father a second and say " It does not happen to just be on my back it happens to be on the back of are whole family so the real question is, am I to write my cousins and sisters name on the information I fill out tomorrow? And expect they mostly will add me to there information as I suspect? To this consideration am I doing it to protected them from other people are family might not trust in this case? or am I doing it because it happens to be the best thing for each of them?"

Your father looks at you and nods and says " I see you had already considered these things, so the real question would be can or will they be happy with the results? And will it make your relationship with them married or not strange? Since I have seen the information your sister was given to read over, which I am sure even you have not read yet."

Charlie nods at this and says " I have read a bit of it, but only bits and he got most of his information from Kaylee who is running the program on the whole since the whole thing was waiting on the 18 year olds in the high school."

You then add " My friend Yuri is writing the program that does the matching so I could make it possible for the computer to lock in any number of people to protected them then again, this is not really the best way to do it. I need to know what they want, and since the final results will not be printed for at least a week maybe tops. There is always time to allow them to come to me to talk about it and doctor it later."

Charlie laughs and says " John, you see this is why government types should not be given to much power they always over extend it. But then again your a protective teenager, so I guess it does not have quite the same issue does it?"

Your mother and father laugh as you simply say " So the question is mother? father? what did Hailey honestly say when you talked to her with uncle Fred about her feelings? She did not tell me or even reminded me that I made any suggestion that I would marry her when I was younger she did not even attempt to remind me. And Gypsy only sounded disappointed after I gave her the shirt off my back because someone had stolen her clothing from the locker room, when she came back to tell me she sorted it out she sounded upset that we had not invited her back into the room."

Your mother nods and adds " Your cousins like your elder sister and her friend Tara care for you a lot, I am sure many others do as well. From what they said about your speech at school you had counted 6 plus 4 others, or more with two questionable making it a total of 12 and that is without the test to prove the rest of it and match everyone up."

You nod and say " I had already counted my cousins and my sister in the numbers I gave the students, I figured it would mostly come down to this. So in the end I will simply let them decide for themselves and you tell them what to write or whatever on there own for the regards of people they like or whatever."

Your father laughs and says " Tara and your sister already wrote your name on the test they had been given today, they are a little bit a head of the high school on the testing. It seems the program required was finished about half way during the day and they sent the program for that part of the testing. I also heard your sister say a few of her other friends may have put you down as well, so I would not be counting just 12 at this point in less you look through all entries and get the final say in the end?"

You shrug and say " No idea, so what did Tracy think of all of this? or Zev even? and why was the family meeting not held here?"

Your mother smiles and says " I did not want it to feel like it was an attack from the family against you for something you had no control over more or less, you did not know you had been adopted so you did not honestly remember or understand the feelings of your cousins or sister. As for Zev, he seems pretty happy he put down all the names he could think of girls he likes and just kinda went with it. Tracy, only put down a few male names but made sure to make it clear she was only interested in one partner. Your sister and cousins said the test was pretty extensive. When Tracy heard that her cousins had picked you, she kinda laughed but then smiled so it was kinda confusing for us to understand what was so funny. Tracy like your elder sister and Zev had been the only ones among the the family besides the adults who knew the truth and it seems Hailey had over heard it or suspected it because of her fathers actions, over the course of her life. Also Hailey was not the one who remembered you had promised to marry her as a kid it was her father after she told him you had."

Charlie is the first one to respond and she says " I know it will seem strange John, but think of it like this. Your family loves you, this is just more proof one way or another that everything is ok. Even the people who knew you had been adopted, care for you greatly. Its more then I can say for my own family after all, and I am sure if you had been drag into the war on something that was not your fault your family would have taken you back. I am also sure they would have sent you care packages and other things to try and make you feel better by the events that took control of your life. And I can tell you this just by how they are behaving."

Your Father smiles at her and says " Thank you for being here for him, I am sure he prefers it based on the way his hand seems to be gripped to yours."

You smile at your parents and finish your drink and say " I guess, things did not quite go as I expected. I had expected to hear that Hailey had great bout of wishful thinking or something. The last thing I wish to hear is that most of the females in my family have determined that I make the most suitable match for them."

Your father laughs and says " It could be worse, they could be ugly."

Your mother slaps your father on the shoulder and says " Be nice, no reason to pick on him like that. Anyway son, you now have what is left of your real father and mother in your hands. Also this bottle of Whiskey was also your real father's, it happens to be one of the reasons we kept it so long. Your father planned to have your uncle bring it to your birth instead of cigars. Your uncle is the only one to take a drink at your birth but I think it was more out of respect then anything, and he has kept til this day."

Your father smiles and says " you don't have to keep calling me Uncle, I think birth father would have worked better. Also I don't plan to tell you what your grandfather did to piss me off so don't bother asking!"

You smile and say " Well, at least one thing is always constant." And about this time Skye and your elder sister return, your sister looks over the look of the family and at the bottle and then sits down on your lap and throws her arms around your neck and hugs you. She kisses you on the cheek and leans back against you, this of course presses her against Charlie a bit but she is not going to complain.

Your sister then adds " No seats so I decided to sit on your lap!"

Skye turns to her sister then looks at you and then says " I guess I will take the other leg, it seems fitting if your talk is over."

You look at Skye a moment and then at your sister and say " You know? now that Skye is here don't you think it is possible I plan to leave for the night?"

Your sister kiss you on the cheek and say " I see how it is little brother no time for me?"

You mother on the other hand says " Stop giving him a hard time, he has a lot to think about and the last thing he needs is you waving your ass in his face right now."

Your father laughs at his wife and says " Sorry, I did not mean to do that. Either way, it might be best if you gave him a bit of space for a while."

Your sister promptly stands up and says " I will be here when you figure out whatever it is you need to think about." You reach out and slap her on her ass which makes her jump.

You then say " I don't need to figure out much, I just need a bit of my own time. All my life I have been in the dark so to speak in regards to how I relate to this family. More then half of the family knew the truth more or less, so it leaves me to have to think."

Skye rubs the side of your face with her hand and says " Don't think to hard you might hurt yourself."

Charlie reaches over and pinches her sister and says " See why you had not been here for the talking?"

Skye then says " Dang it, I was trying to cheer him up."

You turn to Skye and give her a soft kiss on the side of her lips without it being full on the lips and say " Don't worry about it, I am fine. But on the whole I would still like to leave soon, I will go get my bag." So you head for your room, your sister follows behind you as you reach your room and open the door she presses in behind you and closes the door.
