The Right Decision

You and Elsie imagine the possibilities. Grandma and Grandpa were so experienced, wise, free spirited. They'd probably be amazing in the sack. Add to that the naughtiness of it...it was delicious forbidden fruit indeed.

Then another feeling washes over you. Their warm smiles, their cute little nicknames, their trusting natures, their pride in their family. While the rest of the family might be incestuous they had remained untouched, and that seemed important. You would be risking too much if things went South.

El finally shakes her head. "Not with Grampy...I...I just can't." You knew she was extremely attracted to him, you could feel it. But actually bedding him? Elsie felt that might just ruin everything. She was his little flower and no night of passion was worth putting that at risk.

You agree. "And think about Mom and Aunt Peg keeping the secret all these years. They know their parents better than we do. They obviously kept it secret for a reason. We need to trust they had good reason to keep it under wraps."

Chloe pouts. "You three against me, now I see how this is going to go around here."

You roll your eyes. "Oh please, it had nothing to do with ganging up on you. It was our honest opinion."

She goes from bottom lip pout to toothy grin in the blink of an eye. "Oh I don't mind you guys ganging me!"

You all laugh and shake your heads, she was incorrigible. The four of you head back down stairs. As you reach the bottom you notice your Grandpa sitting alone in the living room looking lost, the women were in the kitchen chatting and cooking. You and El split off as Fiona and Chloe head to the kitchen.

He looks up and smiles. "Hello my little flowers." You and El giggle and rush to sit to either side of him. He looks from one of you to the other. "Who is who?"

"I'm Jesse."

"I'm Elsie."

He nods and takes a moment to make a mental note of it. Elsie asks him. "Um...why are you just sitting in here alone Grampy?"

He points over his shoulder. "Got kicked out of the kitchen. Your mother told me to choose a movie on the Net Flick...um..." He was at a loss. Pointing at El's old PS3 he asks. "Is that the Net Flick?"

You and Elsie burst into uncontrollable giggles. This old beach bum didn't have a clue! He laughs along in good humor though he doesn't get the joke. You pick up the remote. "It's this button Grandpa, this gets you to Netflix."

He nods. "Ah. It was easier with the DVD's and tapes." He looks at El. "Do you still have that DVD I got you when you were little?"

She is positively beaming. "My Neighbor Totoro...the 93 English dub Fox version...yes. I still have it Grampy. Jesse and I watched it so many times when we were kids. It is my very favorite movie."

He smiles. "That's a good one. That big fat cat is far out."

She looks at him in that intense wide eyed Elsie sort of way. "Do...Do you want to watch it now?" She asks, knowing full well you three would be the only ones who would want to see it.

He shrugs. "Sure. I haven't seen that since you were a little bud."

The sheer nostalgic happiness flowing off of Elsie right now was absolutely contagious. It warmed you heart and soul. She leans in and kisses his tanned wrinkled cheek and he chuckles. She was smiling ear to ear.

She gets the old DVD out of a side cupboard where you kept a few old DVD's and such. She shows it too him proudly then sets it in the PS3 and gets it playing. As the upbeat opening song starts up El rushes back and curls up to her grandpa's side, he was happy as could be as he puts his arm around her. You sit to the other side awkwardly. You still weren't quite sure how to approach your grandpa in your new form. He was used to you as a boy, maybe he wouldn't like...

You hear him say in a gentle voice. "Jesse?"

You turn to see him with his arm raised and a warm merry inviting expression. He was offering you his other side. You gaze at him with unabashed adoration as you snuggle up to his other side. El's head rested on his right shoulder as yours rested on his left, both of your arms around him as he had his around the two of you. You smell that unique earthy grandpa smell of his. You and El hold hands over his trim tummy. The three of you watch the old cartoon you had seen countless times. You felt four years old again. You and El knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that you had made the right choice not to seduce your grandparents. This moment right here was absolutely priceless.

Fiona walks into the room looking down at her phone. She looks up and notices what was on the screen. "Holy shit! You guys aren't actually watching..." She then picks up the peaceful joyous vibe emanating through the room and sees you all cuddled up on the couch. She clips off the sarcastic comment she was about to say. She sensed this was important. She just says quietly. "I'm going out to see a friend Granddad...and uh...to get you guys some 'medicine'. I might not get home till late."

He nods as he looks at her. "Thank you Fifi...I'm sorry, Fiona. I'll see you later babe." He shoots her a wink.

She just grins as she looks at the three of you. "I'll see you guys later. Enjoy your movie."

He squeezes you both into his sides and says. "We will."
