Sometimes Wishes Are Neverending!!: Chapter 5 - Gen 12

"Will you marry me?"

"Haven't you already asked me that question"

"Yes, but I mean can we get married now"

"Now??!!"

"Yes, I don't want to wait, there is no point unless you want the cake, the party and all that rubbish"

"All that rubbish???? Your very romantic I must say!!"

"I thought I was being getting you to meet me here on the beach!!"

"Your impossible!!"

"If you want a fancy wedding then we can wait, but I would rather not"

"Just one thing - where are we going to live, we haven't talked about anything"

"I thought we could live at your place for the time being, and I want to get a nice house built on my lot, a house more suitable for children, because yours isn't"

"Children?"

"Yes, you do want children don't you!"

"Yes but not yet!!"

"Well we can talk about it later"

"So can we get married now?"

"I hope I am not going to regret this!!"

"So does that mean you will"

"Yes - ok - we can get married now if you want"

I was given time off work, for a honeymoon, but we didn't go anywhere, I did not really fancy travelling anywhere so we just stayed at home and spent the next week in bed and messing about.

We had some wicked pillow fights

Which usually ended in the same way

"So when are you going to tell me about your family and why you ran away from them?"

"I try not to think about them!!"

"Don't you miss them?"

"Yes of course I do, that's why I try not to think about them!"

"So come on tell me"

"I have a younger brother Willow, who was a teenager when I left, and my sister Whisper was just a child. My parents were not what you would call conventional parents - My Mom I vaguely remember she left when I was a child and my Dad is gay."

"Gay??"

"Yes, he is into men not women - he is married to another man now, who just happens to be my Uncle, my mothers brother."

"Oh I see, but why did you run away?"

"I couldn't hack it - it grossed me out watching my Dad and my Uncle together, and then I found out my brother Willow was gay - I had to get out of there!!"

"So you left because they were gay?"

"Yes, you can't imagine what it is like having to watch your Dad and brother kissing other men!!"

"That is not really a reason for you to move thousands of miles away and not tell them where you are!!"

"For me it is, I am inappropriate unless you have forgotten and being round my family just brought that out of me more, I was turning into a horrible person always saying the wrong things because they made me angry, if I had stayed around them it would have turned nasty one day"

"Your lucky, at least you have a family, my parents died when I was a child and I have no family at all, don't even have any photographs, all I got was an Inheritance when I grew up"

"I bet that must have been awful for you!!"

"It was, but I think maybe you should tell them where you are,

one day you might need them"

"I won't"

"You can never say that!!"

"What would I need from those shirt lifting faggots??!!!"

"Wes, thats not a nice way to talk about your family!!"

"You see what I mean now - they make me nasty and besides they are all vampires, I thought you said you did not like vampires and if I know my Dad he would come racing over here if he found out where I was"

"All the more reason why you should tell him"

"NO its not happening!!"

"What about your Mom?"

"What about her - she dumped me and left me with the faggots what would I want with her, you know she knew he was gay, my Grandad told me - how the hell they ever managed to have three children is beyond me, but she knew he was gay and went and had kids with him anyway, then she just left us!!"

"Maybe there were things going on you didn't know about have you even talked things through with her?"

"No, I haven't seen her since I was a child and don't particularly want to either"

"Well maybe you need to - you sound pretty angry to me"

"I am and don't want anything to do with any of them, can we drop this now, I am getting wound up just thinking about them!!"

"I think you should at least tell them where you are"

"Just shut up about it now - look at the stars, thats what we came out here for"

"But Wes ....."

"No Vi, conversation over, I don't want to talk about them ever again, you got it!!"

"Ok, ok, no need to snap at me!"

"Well you asked for it - keeping on!!"

"Have you calmed down yet?

"No!!"

"What is the matter with you?"

"You've got me thinking about them which has got me all wound up and now I am scared!!"

"Scared of what?"

"I want children but I am scared they might turn out gay"

"Don't be stupid!!"

"I am not being stupid - On my Dads side - My grandmothers brother was gay, so is my Dad, so is my brother, that's not a coincidence, it runs in the genes, and you can also throw in the genes from my mothers side - my Uncle is gay - there must be a hell of a lot of gay genes in my blood - why shouldn't any of my kids turn out to be gay"

"Your just being silly now, your not gay so why should your kids be."

"Well my Grandparents aren't gay but their son and grandson are"

"You are worrying over nothing!! It can happen to anyone and anyway, would it really matter at the end of the day you should love your kids no matter what"

"I know but if I did have a child and it turned out to be gay I would blame him, my Dad and it would make me hate him and I really don't want to hate him - but I will, I know I will"

My attempt at making something other than salad was a disaster. I think I actually put the ingredience together alright, I just over cooked it, or should I say burnt it!!

We ate it anyway, I could see Violet pulling faces at it but she didn't say anything.

Better late than never - I made it to the mailbox just in time to prevent the Repo man paying us a visit, we had been too busy messing around since we got married that we forgot to pay the bills. I also found we had received quite a few wedding presents from friends so I sent them thank you notes.

"I am back to work tommorrow, its time we got back to reality!!"

"Do we have to?"

"I am afraid we do, I know you are pretty well off financially but we need more if we are going to get that house built on my lot, I really would not feel comfortable about having children in this house !!"

The house we lived in was built on a cliff edge and the back end of the house was built on stilts, not exactly a safe place to bring up children. So we had decided that we would hang on a while before we had any children, we would wait until we had moved out of this house into the other one.
