My Brother, My Lover Ch. 11

Callie scooted her body sitting closer to her brother. She felt like she could breath now finally being able to show her love for him. Nathan took her hand into his as they sat in front of their parents. Gloria felt awkward seeing her children this way, but it was time to let go of them and let them learn the ways of life. Jim knew he'd done the right thing. His children had never looked more blissful in a long time. He noticed Callie had a bright glow on her face and Nathan's eyes never showed more love than that night.

"Mom, Dad?" Nathan spoke out again. "I want to be with Callie for the rest of my life."

Callie's heart fluttered. "Yes I want to be with Nathan forever. I love him."

Jim and Gloria looked at each other. "Well I suppose you can live as man and wife but I don't think incest marriage is legal," Gloria said slowly.

"Yeah I know it's not legal but I want to live with Callie. I want to call her my wife, not my sister. I want to share my life with her," Nathan said looking at Callie.

Jim smiled at his children. "Well then it's settled. You both can live together as man and wife besides living with someone for years is considered marriage by law."

Callie agreed. "Yes I know. I've read about that. But also I do want to have children with Nathan."

Gloria looked away. Jim's face looked worried. "Is that safe?" Jim asked concerned.

"Well no pregnancy is ever hundred percent safe is it?" Callie replied.

"No honey, but an incest child could turn out to have problems." Gloria added in a shaky voice.

"Mom, then Callie and I will take care of that. We'll get checkups weekly making sure we have a healthy baby. In a lot of cases incest babies are born healthy," Nathan said giving his sister's hand a gentle squeeze.

"Well I guess there's nothing we can do about that. Nathan please take care of Callie. As a father I must make sure that you do," Jim implored.

Nathan put his arm around his now soon to be wife and planted a softy kiss on her lips. Gloria and Jim wanted to look away but it was time they got used to their children doing this. They had to get used to seeing them as husband and wife, not brother and sister.

"Dad you got it. I'm going to try to be the best husband for Callie."

Callie laughed softly. "Thank you both for letting us be together. We love you."

They both got up to hug their parents. Everything was looking up for the moment.

It seemed as if she'd been asleep forever, but Amber finally woke up in a hospital bed. She tried to move but felt so sore. Her arms showed many bruises. She looked around and saw no one in the hospital room. She tried to remember what had happened last night but her mind was blank. Her body shifted in the bed since she needed to go to the bathroom. As she tried to move, her body hurt more and more.

"You need help?" She heard a soft female voice call out.

Amber looked up to see a somewhat familiar face. She couldn't really tell but she knew she'd seen this girl before. Amy stood there looking down at the young girl. It had been the same girl who came to cause havoc at the Adams' house.

Amber was silent for a moment. "Yeah I need to go to the bathroom. How long have I been here?"

"You've been passed out for over 24 hours. Here let me help you up."

"What happened to me?" The girl asked concerned.

Amy began to lift her up. "Well you were drunk and you crashed into a light post."

Amber felt so idiotic. "Oh God I'm so stupid."

"Yes you are stupid for driving drunk. You're lucky you didn't kill anyone."

"Yeah I know. Has my family been notified?"

"Actually we couldn't get a hold of anyone. After you recover the police wants to have a few words with you."

"Oh fuck. I'm in deep shit now." Amber said nervously.

Amy let the girl hold on to her as they walked towards the bathroom. They moved slowly since this girl was really hurt. This girl was tall but very light weight giving Amy easy access to helping her.

Amy waited outside letting the girl do her business and it was a few minutes later the girl called out for help. Amy helped her out and put her back to her bed to get her rest.

"Excuse me but do I know you from somewhere?" The blonde asked Amy.

Amy nodded. "Yeah you do. I believe you paid a pleasant visit to Jim and Gloria Adams."

Amber's eyes saddened. "Oh no wonder you looked familiar."

Amy began to change the girls' sheets. "Yeah well, you said some really far out things there. I think you really upset them."

"Yeah I know what I did was mean. I would really like to apologize to them. I've done so many fucked up things."

Amy looked curiously at the girl. "Can I ask you something?"

"Yeah sure."

"Was it true what you said about Callie and Nathan being...lovers?"

Amber hesitated to answer at first. "Yeah it is true, but I never meant for her parents to find out through me."

Amy felt her eyes being to water. So it is true? Nathan is his sister's lover?

"Excuse me are you OK?" Amber asked.

Amy inhaled. "Yeah I'm fine."

Amber looked closely at her. "No oh I'm sorry are you crying?"

Amy couldn't hold back her tears. She sobbed like a child with her face turned away from Amber. "Yeah sorry. Don't worry about me."

"Are you Callie's older sister or something?" Amber asked curiously.

Amy turned to look at her. She felt embarrassed telling this stranger her problems. "No I'm not Callie's older sister, although I do see her as a sister. I actually used to date Nathan."

Amber's eyes widened. "Oh shit. I'm sorry I guess you still had a thing for him?"

Amy nodded slowly. "Yeah I did. I'm just so shocked about their relationship. It's incest! It's wrong!"

Amber shrugged. "Well I guess they don't see it that way. I mean I think they really like being in that kind of relationship."

Amy was silent. She felt like she was in the middle of some kind of strange dream and she'd wake up and be with Nathan once again. It was impossible now. She had to come to terms with reality. She still loved Nathan and Callie. She would support them in any way that she could. Life was going to be hard for them so they were going to need support not bashing from their family and friends.

The next day Nathan got to work early seeing his long time friend Eddie waiting for him outside his office. Nathan had known Eddie since college and knew Nathan had dated Amy.

"Eddie? You're here pretty early," Nathan said with a grin on his face still thinking of last night.

"Hey buddy uh I just got word that they are wanting some of us to transfer to Phoenix. There is a new construction chain opening up there. The pay is going to be a lot better too."

Nathan gulped. "What? Is it voluntarily? Or are they choosing who's going?"

"It's voluntarily but if not enough men go, then they are going to choose themselves."

"But I don't know if I can go. A few months ago I would have jumped at the opportunity, but now I don' t know."

"Why not? I mean I think it'll do you good. Come on buddy. I would go but they didn't even give me that option. Besides I love Houston too much."

"I-I I'm about to get married," Nathan said slowly.

Eddie looked shocked. "What? Wait a minute! You haven't told me that you were even dating anyone?

Nathan blushed. "Well it's not an easy relationship."

"What? Why not? Is it Amy?"

Nathan nodded. "No. It's someone else. I do believe you know her."

"Who? Oh damn you're making me crazy with all this suspense!"

"It's Callie."

Eddie looked puzzled. "Callie? Uh bro don't you got a sister named Callie?"

Nathan nodded proudly. "Yeah that's her. I'm gonna marry her."

Eddie stood there speechless just as Nathan thought he would. "B-but Nate? Is that legal? I mean I love you bro but are you sure about this?"

Nathan laughed. "Yeah I've never been more sure in my whole life. It's not legal, but we are going to live as husband and wife."

Eddie paced the room. "Well I don't know what to say. I mean I guess I should first say congratulations?"
