AUTHOR'S NOTES:

Posting Schedule:

This story is reposted due to numerous requests.  Because of the length
of the story, many of you have missed chapters.  For that reason I am
going to try to post on the following schedule:

Friday, May 26 - Two Families - The Cruise in its entirety (6 Chapters)
Monday, May 29 - Two Families - The Teenage Years - Chs 1-6
Tuesday May 30 - Two Families - The Teenage Years - Chs 7-13
Wednesday, May 31 - Two Families - Epilogue

These postings will be made to alt.sex.stories,
alt.sex.stories.moderated and alt.sex.stories.incest, so if miss a
chapter in one newsgroup, you can probably find it in another.  Another
method of finding missing chapters is to go to your favorite search
engine and search for TWO FAMILIES only in the newsgroups, rather than
web pages.

What is Two Families?

First of all -- this story is completely fiction.  The story is in two
parts.  The Cruise details a memorable week in the lives of two close
families - a Caribbean cruise.   The Teenage Years picks up at the end
of the cruise and follows the two families until the day our hero --
Jason Bradford -- leaves home for college.   Then, the Epilogue returns
about 10 years later in Jason's life and lets you know how everything
turned out for our two families.

As always, comments are appreciated -- either posted here to the
newsgroup or by email to thor4u@my-deja.com

Enjoy the story.

Two Families - The Teenage Years
Chapter Six - The Confrontation
By Thor4u

The rest of the Fall Semester flew by, as did Christmas Vacation.  Kim
and Jason had a wonderful two weeks and had never been closer.  They
knew that the problem of distance would be replaced by some new
problem, but they felt strongly that they had overcome some major
hurdles making it through the first long period of separation.

They didn't realize it then, but the greatest progress they had made
was what Betsy (aka Mom) had spotted very early.  They had developed a
strategy of seeking solutions rather than fixating on problems, and
that would stand them in good stead in the future.

Many young couples are blindsided by problems -- they expect everything
to be untroubled bliss -- but that's just not real life.  In real life,
shit happens.  Kim and Jason expected shit to happen, so they just
stepped around it and moved on.

********
HOLA' MARIA!

Kim was sitting on the bed in her new dorm room at the University of
Florida when Maria Garcia walked into her life.  It was a life-changing
experience for both of them, although neither realized it for a long
time.

Maria Garcia was a strikingly beautiful 19 year-old Cuban-American from
Miami.  With straight black hair and almost-black eyes offsetting her
olive complexion, she was absolutely gorgeous.  Even Kim was dazzled
the first time she saw Maria.  But Maria's dark beauty was just the
beginning.  Her inner beauty was even more endearing.

She was also a study in paradoxes.  Maria was sweet, but strong.  She
was a little shy, but had a huge, wonderfully-warm heart.  She was
quiet and spoke with a slight Spanish accent, but she was scary bright
and had a mind like a steel trap. She had dizzy moments occasionally,
but she forgot nothing.  She liked meeting new people and making new
friends, but her friendships were casual -- she didn't let anyone close
too soon.  She was absolutely devoted to her large family.  And
although she was both quiet and shy, Maria had a razor wit and a biting
tongue when provoked.

For Kim, it was love at first sight.  For Maria, it took a little
longer.  But over that first semester, as she carefully sized her new
friend up, she was happy to learn that they had much in common.

Unlike the drunken slut of a roommate Maria had endured the previous
semester, Kim was a serious student.  Kim knew what she wanted, and
pretty much where she was going.  Kim had a boyfriend, Ellbee, who she
adored, and like Maria, she was very close to her family.  Also, with
four years of high school Spanish and two in college, Kim was pretty
good in formal Spanish.   So Maria set about to make her fluent in
conversational Cuban Spanish, including many of the thousands of crazy
Cuban idiomatic expressions sometimes referred to as "Cubonics."

Maria had an opportunity to meet Kim's family when they all visited
Gainesville one weekend.  She thought Kim's stepmother, Betsy, was the
most beautiful woman she had ever seen, and was pleased to know that
she was just as nice as she was beautiful.  Betsy was so like Kim in
that regard, it was hard to believe she wasn't Kim's biological
mother.  Kim's father, Jack, was quiet and serious, a successful
businessman, but it was obvious that he worshiped the ground Kim walked
on.  And it was obvious the feeling was mutual.

Maria especially liked Kim's step-brother, Jason.  Damn, that kid was
gorgeous!  He was also a little reserved, but warmer and funny as hell
once Maria got to know him.  And Maria couldn't get over the way he and
Kim busted each others balls so mercilessly!  Jason was a lot of fun to
be around.  She was surprised to learn that he was not yet 16; at first
Maria figured him for 18-19.  If Maria wasn't already engaged to
Antonio back in Miami, she would have asked Kim to fix her up with
Jason.

Actually, the only piece of the Kim puzzle Maria hadn't seen was
Ellbee, but the way Kim called him every night, she was sure he would
show up someday.  He'd better, because this "Gringa" Kim was a babe!

So...as Winter turned to Spring, Maria finally accepted Kim as a close
friend.   That designation was not a casual one -- Maria only had one
other girlfriend she considered "close."  It really meant that Maria
had accepted Kim as a member of her family, and the two young women
became very close.  So close, in fact, that Maria invited Kim to spend
a week with her family during the summer.

For most college sophomores, inviting a roommate to visit during the
summer is standard procedure, but not for Maria.  Kim recognized the
honor and import of the invitation and accepted immediately.

***********
Things went relatively smoothly for Kim and Jason.  Kim was coming home
to Jacksonville almost every weekend, and they had a lot of time
together.  But it never seemed to get dull; they always found ways to
amuse themselves.  One of the great strengths of their relationship was
that the amusement was not usually sexually.  They did everything
together, from going to the movies with friends to golf lessons.  The
friendship, now five years strong, was closer than ever.

That's not to say they didn't ever have sex.  Of course they did, every
weekend and it was wonderful.  But sex was not the basis of their love,
in fact it never had been.  Their love was built on the foundation of a
strong friendship, mutual respect, and trust.  There were a few ups and
downs, as there are in any relationship, but the foundation was always
there to sustain them.

But for Brenda, times were hard.

For one thing, Jason was never available because Kim was home almost
every weekend.  Even when she wasn't, Jason avoided her.  Finally,
Brenda confronted him angrily.  Jason said he was sorry, but as much as
he had enjoyed their times together, he just didn't feel right.

Brenda had been dumped, albeit gently and with great caring, by a 15
year-old boy!  A boy she had built much of her life around for the last
few months.   The young man who had both thrilled her sexually, and
made it possible for her to go on emotionally.

To make matters worse, Paul hardly paid any attention to her at all.
Paul and Jack's business was booming, and they had hired quite a few
new employees.  Therefore, they had some relief from the travel and
also had new responsibilities that required them to stay home more than
at the inception of the business.

More time at home should have been a good thing, but Brenda hardly saw
Paul.  And when he did have a little time to himself, he seemed to
always spend that time with Cassie.  Brenda knew that Cassie was only
16 and needed a lot of attention, but dammit, this was ridiculous!

Finally, in exasperation, Brenda called Jason.  The anger in her voice
burned through the phone lines as she renewed her plan to hire a lawyer
and private investigator to go after Paul.  Jason tried to talk her out
of it, even briefly considering renewing their relationship, but Brenda
wasn't buying.  Toward the end of the conversation, she even told him
she didn't want him back, she just wanted to dump Paul and Cassie and
move on with her life.  She wasn't asking for help, she was just
venting to a close, caring and trusted friend.  Jason felt very sad for
Brenda, and her plan of action terrified him.  The only good news in
the conversation was that Brenda mentioned that the lawyer she was
going to was on vacation for two weeks, skiing in Colorado.

As soon as he hung up with Brenda, Jason called Kim in Gainesville.
They discussed the problem, but Kim was adamant about not telling their
Mom.  Jason thought only Mom could talk sense to Brenda, but Kim
insisted that Cassie, not Brenda, was the real problem.  Kim felt that
it was time to confront Cassie, and to go to the wall with her if
necessary.

**********

Even though the weather was warming up a lot, Cassie was surprised when
I called her and invited her to come swimming with Kim and I that
Saturday afternoon.  We didn't usually invite her to anything, but Cass
is a little slow so she didn't mind.  She had other things on her mind
anyway, mostly her father's dick.

But Cassie was planning to attend the University of Florida after high
school, so she looked forward to talking about college life with Kim.
Cass always has an ulterior motive, and in this case, it was Kim's
sorority.  Kim had not transferred her membership from Alabama, but she
was still a member in good standing of the national sorority and could
recommend Cass for membership in any chapter.  That's what Cassie
wanted.

So she came over to swim.  Needless to say, Cass came over wearing an
absolutely obscene thong bikini.  At 16, it was beginning to look like
Cassie was not going to inherit her mother's great tits.   But she had
a petite, tight little body with a luscious little ass, and she was
extraordinary in that thong!

Kim just rolled her eyes, and then dropped her gaze to my crotch to see
if I was getting hard.  Fortunately, I knew I had to concentrate on the
task at hand, so I was pre-occupied with the script Kim and I had laid
out the previous night.  No hardon, thank goodness.

Kim started, and she might as well of hit Cassie between the eyes with
a two-by- four!  Barely saying hello, she immediately sat Cassie down
in a pool lounge and told her that I knew everything -- EVERYTHING --
about she and her father.  Recognizing the fact that Cassie is not the
brightest bulb on the tree, Kim went on to list all of the various
sexual encounters Cass had told her about over the past year, including
dates and activities.  Kim had done her homework -- the woman oughta be
a lawyer!

Cass was shocked to be confronted that way, especially with me
present.  She tried a weak diversion, saying she had just made it all
up to get attention, but we both knew better.  And Kim was not about to
let her off the hook.

"LIAR!  LIAR!  LIAR!!!" Kim screamed in Cass' face.   Cassie burst into
tears.

Kim didn't let up.  We had decided to play good-cop, bad-cop -- and
Kimmy was the bad cop.  She continued to hound Cassie, finally getting
a self-serving admission that "my Daddy took advantage of me."  That
was bullshit, of course, but it was a start.

I played good cop for a while, telling Cassie I could understand how
something like that could happen...even happen repeatedly...but it had
to stop.  She made the mistake of saying it was over, that she hadn't
had sex with her Dad in months, which immediately brought out the bad
cop.

"LIAR!  LIAR!  LIAR!!!  You are willing to destroy your whole family,
just to get some schoolgirl attention!  You are willing to destroy your
mother's life!  You are willing to destroy your father's life!  You are
willing to destroy your own life!"  Kim screamed at the top of her
lungs.  "I know you are fucked-up, Cassie...but I had no idea you were
so fucking stupid!!!"

Now Cassie was angry and she really tried to fight back.  She knew she
was dumb, but she didn't like having her nose rubbed in it.  She said
nothing would ever happen.  She said she would never tell anyone and
neither would her father.

"Ohmygod!!!  You're not only stupid and fucked-up, you're naive as
well!!!"  Kim thundered.  "What makes you think someone won't go
looking for something like this?  What makes you think it won't come
out in a divorce case?  How can you be so fucking dumb, girl???

"Okay, little Miss Hotpants...you won't tell and Daddy won't tell.  But
there's something else you haven't thought about.   I'LL TELL!  AND
JASON WILL TELL!!  We'll both tell, if that's what we have to do to
stop you from ruining your whole family!"

Then when Cassie gasped in horror and betrayal, I chimed in as softly
and gently as I could, "That's what we called you here for today,
Cass...to tell you that we can't remain silent any more.  We're telling
our Mom tonight."

"No," Cassie gasped.  "Please no...I'll do anything!  Please don't
tell!  Please!  Please!"  And she broke down in tears again.  The bad
cop was not impressed.

"Aw knock it off, Cass!  Stop feeling sorry for yourself because you
got caught!  You can very easily prevent being exposed to the
world...all you have to do is to stop fucking your father."

"I will!  I will!  I'll do anything!"  Cassie cried.

"Well...we knew you'd say that Cass."  Kim said icily.  "We don't
believe you for a minute, of course, but we knew you'd say that.  But
we'll make you a deal...if we see that you have stopped -- and we have
ways of knowing, we have positive ways of telling whether that has
happened -- we will not tell anyone outside our family.  You have two
weeks to convince us it has really stopped."

"We're telling Mom tonight," Kim continued.  "Mom has to be ready to
pick up the pieces if your mother tries to kill herself or something
equally tragic.  But we won't tell anyone else, and neither will she,
if, AND ONLY IF, you stop this permanently."

"You're really gonna tell Betsy?"  Cass whispered.

And I gave Kim a look like -- are we really gonna tell her?  I was
stunned by the look I got back, because we had not discussed this part.

"Yes, Cass...we have to.  This has gone too far.  This could be a
disaster.  This is the kind of thing people kill themselves over.  A
student at Gainesville killed himself last weekend over less than
this.  We have a moral obligation that outweighs our loyalty to you.
I'm sorry."

Cassie gasped.

"Well if you're gonna tell Betsy anyway, what difference does it make
what I do?"

"Well, Cass," I said, "we're only going to tell Mom.  We're not going
to tell anybody else."

"Who else would you tell...my Mom?"  Cass asked in disbelief.

"No.  I honestly couldn't do that.  Mom would have to do that at the
appropriate time." I answered.

"At the appropriate time?"  Cass asked quietly.

"Yeah...you know, if your mother got suicidal or something destructive
like that."  I replied.

"Oh my God..."  Cassie whispered.

"And then, there's other people...you know, kids at school," I, Jason,
the good cop, dropped the ultimate bombshell, "I wouldn't tell
everybody, just my closest friends because some of them think you're
very hot and want to date you.  I think they have a right to know the
truth about you, Cass.  I'd ask them not to tell anyone else, of
course."

There is one thing that every kid our age cares more about than just
about anything -- acceptance by our peers -- and we will do just about
anything to get it and keep it.  Cass knew that if I told a single
person -- even if I swore them to absolute secrecy --  a rumor that juicy
would be all over the school in a matter of minutes.

Cassie was astonished that I would threaten such a thing, but the look
in my eyes and Kims left no doubt that we were serious.  She burst into
tears and fled from our house.

Cassie almost ran over Mom at the front door as she was fleeing.  She
just screamed something, ran to her car, and roared off down the street.

Mom rushed in the house and saw the two of us walking arm in arm up the
steps from the pool.  She ran out to us.

"Kids???"  Mom asked.

"Mom, we love you," Kim said softly. "Come sit with us by the pool...we
have to talk.

I went on one side of Mom and put my arm around her.  Kimmy got on the
other side and did the same, and we walked her slowly down to the pool
chairs.  Kim told her we had some very bad news, and no -- Kim was NOT
pregnant.

Then we sat my beautiful Mom down and gently broke her heart.  We
talked for hours about what to do.  I didn't really have any ideas.
But once Mom got over the shock, she and Kim calmly brainstormed ideas
on when it might be necessary to tell Brenda, and how it might be
done.  We hoped that day would never come.
