Chapter 47

When the alarm went off at five-thirty, I reached for the nightstand to turn it off. Kelly stirred, sat up, and stretched.

“You can go back to sleep, sweetie. I’m getting up to fish this morning,” I said.

“I know. Jenny and I are making breakfast for you guys.”

I kissed Kelly. “You girls are too good to us.”

Kelly took my cock in her hand and fondled it. “That’s because you and Rob are so good to Jenny and me.”

Kelly and I got out of bed. I dressed for fishing while she put on sweats. We met Rob and Jenny in the hallway, said good morning, and headed for the kitchen. Mom and Dad stood at the counter making coffee when we arrived.

“You guys didn’t have to get up,” I said.

“I want to help Kelly and Jenny with breakfast,” Mom said.

“Are you going with the guys, Dad?” Kelly asked.

“Yes. I want to watch,” Dad said.

“You should get set up to fly fish with us, Larry,” Rob said.

“I’ve thought about it but haven’t decided yet. Maybe next year,” Dad replied.

A few minutes later, Adam, Linda, and Paul joined us. When Kelly asked about Heather and Sarah, Paul said they were sleeping.

When we sat at the table in the breakfast nook, Linda and Adam took seats so they could look outside. Linda had offered to help with breakfast, but Mom said they had it covered and to relax and enjoy the morning.

“Look, honey, there are several deer in the yard,” Linda said.

“I see them. I still can’t get over how beautiful it is here. It’s like living in a postcard photo,” Adam said.

I smiled at Adam’s reference because of how many times I’d heard it.

“Justin, are you sure what you’re charging Paul and Sarah for rent is enough?” Adam said.

“Yes, I’m sure. The rent is more than enough, and we get access to the fishing boat. It’s a win-win for us. Kelly and I are happy to have them here. Please accept our open invitation for you, Linda, and Heather to visit anytime you want to,” I said.

The women served breakfast and joined us at the table. We passed the platters of eggs, bacon, potatoes, and toast around the table. Jenny grabbed the coffee pots and made sure everyone had some.

“Thanks for the invitation. Maybe we’ll come when there’s snow and bring our snowmobiles.” Adam chuckled. “You sure have plenty of property to ride on.”

“The property is bordered by state land. Michigan has miles of groomed trails for snowmobiling and ATVs. You can ride from one end of the UP to the other. The state and local clubs maintain the trail system,” Rob said.

“Justin said we’re going to get snowmobiles, didn’t you, baby,” Kelly said. “We rode them while we were in New York last winter and I loved it.”

“Yes. I plan to buy a few snowmobiles this fall,” I said.

“Justin, you should check the place where I bought the ATVs. They sell snowmobiles and accessories,” Dad said.

“I thought you bought the ATVs downstate, Dad. I didn’t know you bought them up here,” I said.

“There’s a great outdoor sports shop in Marquette. They sell ATVs, snowmobiles, and dirt bikes among other things. Vince suggested we purchase the ATVs up here in case you needed service. Remind me to give you the salesman’s card we worked with. He was very helpful,” Dad said.

“Thanks, Dad,” Kelly said.

When we finished breakfast Rob, and I started clearing the table. Jenny stopped us, saying she and Kelly would take care of it so we could go fishing.

“What time should we expect you to return?” Mom asked.

“I’m not sure. It depends on how we do. It will probably be about two or three. If we do well, we’ll have fish for dinner,” I said.

“Do you want us to pack a lunch for you guys?” Kelly asked.

“No, thank you. We’ll grab something while we’re out,” Adam said.

Rob, Paul, Adam, Dad, and I headed to the garage to load our gear and go to the stream Rob suggested. I grabbed my camp stove, water, and coffee when Dad suggested it. We took Rob’s truck and left.

“This looks promising,” Adam said when Rob pulled into the park near the stream. “Have you fished here before?”

“Justin and I have fished this stream before. We did well when we did. There’s many holes and places that hold fish. We’ve caught rainbows, browns, and a few brook trout,” Rob said.

While we put on our waders and fixed our fly rods, Dad prepared the stove and coffee pot. We headed to the stream, telling Dad we’d be back soon. Paul and Rob headed upstream while Adam and I walked it the opposite direction. I pointed to the stream, showing Adam a fish holding near the edge of an eddy.

Adam made a few false casts before letting his fly settle on the water. He mended the line as the current moved the fly toward the fish. The fish didn’t rise, so Adam retrieved it and made another presentation. This time the fish came up and took the fly. After setting the hook, Adam waded into the stream to fight the fish.

“That’s a nice brown, Adam. If we do well, we’ll have fish for dinner,” I said as Adam netted the eight-inch fish.

“It’s been a while since I’ve fished a stream. I’m enjoying this. Salmon fishing in the lake is fun, but this is more challenging.”

I saw a fish and made a cast. When the rainbow took my fly, I fought it to my net. Adam and I worked our way downstream, catching several fish before heading back to the truck. I had three fish and Adam had four.

“Is the coffee ready?” I asked when we returned to the park.

“Sure is. It’s hot and ready,” Dad said. He filled two mugs and offered them to Adam and me.

“What do you do for a living, Larry?” Adam asked.

Dad smiled. “I’m retired. I used to be an electrician for one of the auto plants. I had enough years to retire and did. Fran and I plan to travel and enjoy life.”

“Linda and I have been talking about taking time off. Heather, Paul, and my sales manger can handle the dealership when we’re gone. I’d like to purchase another boat and do the Great Loop.”

“What’s the Great Loop?” Rob said as he and Paul joined us.

“The Great Loop is a circumnavigation of the eastern U.S., and part of Canada. The route includes the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, the New York State Canals, the Canadian Canals, the Great Lakes, the inland rivers, and the Gulf of Mexico. The route we plan to take is about six-thousand miles,” Adam said.

“Mom and Dad have been talking about doing the loop for years. Once I graduate, I will work for the dealership so they can,” Paul said.

We sat at the picnic table drinking coffee and resting. “What kind of boat are you thinking of?” Rob asked.

“Linda and I have looked at a few. We have it narrowed down to a Mainship or a Carver in the forty-foot range. We have to have a boat with less than nineteen feet of air draft to make it under a bridge on the Illinois River.”

“It sounds like a great adventure,” Dad said.

“Linda and I are looking forward to it. We follow loopers on Facebook and You Tube.”

We finished our coffee and headed back to the stream. I fished with Rob and Paul fished with his father. After two hours, we went back to the park with our catch. When Paul and Adam arrived, we found we had more than enough fish for dinner. We removed our waders, stowed our fishing gear, and sat at the picnic table.

“Thanks for making the coffee, Larry,” Paul said while we sat at the table reviewing our trip.

“Yeah, thanks, Dad. I don’t know why you wanted to come with us and leave the women alone,” I said.

“Mom said the girls were going sightseeing. I’m having a good time relaxing and enjoying the outdoors.”

We finished our coffee and packed up the stove. On the way to the house, we stopped at a restaurant for lunch. After eating, Dad insisted on paying the bill.

The girls weren’t back when we arrived at the house. Rob and I cleaned the fish and placed them in the refrigerator on the lower level. Dad offered everyone a beer and we went to the deck to relax.

“That was a great stream we fished today. I enjoyed getting back to fly fishing,” Adam said.

“There are many great streams and rivers near here,” Rob said. “Do you hunt, Adam?”

“No, I’m not a hunter. I enjoy fishing and the outdoors, but I never developed an interest in hunting. Paul is the hunter in our family,” Adam replied.

“You’re welcome to join us during hunting season,” I said.

“Dad’s a good cook. He can help even if he doesn’t hunt,” Paul said.

“Thanks for the invitation. Spending a few days with a group of men sounds like fun.” Adam chuckled. “It isn’t like we’d be roughing it, not in your lodge, Justin. Paul’s right, I do enjoy cooking.”

“You, Linda, and Heather have an open invitation to visit anytime you want to. We should plan a time for snowmobiling. I’ve only done it a few times when Kelly, Mom, Dad, and I were in New York.”

“We had a good time, didn’t we?” Dad smiled. “Even though you and Kelly got snowed in and had to spend a few days in the hunting cabin.”

Rob laughed and put his hand on my shoulder. “If you listen to Kelly, it was some of the best days of your lives. She tells the story with the same passion as the first time she told Jenny and me whenever I hear it.”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to get stranded with. Kelly was a real trooper and never complained once. We worked together to survive under less than ideal conditions. Kelly pitched in and shared the tasks we need to do and never complained.”

“It sounds like an interesting story,” Adam said.

“It is. I’ll let Kelly tell it when she and the women return. She’s better at telling it than I am,” I said.

“Justin’s right, we should wait for Kelly. Her version is better than Justin’s. Does anyone want another beer?” Rob said.

We sat on the deck, drinking our beers and talking about fishing. Adam explained why he decided to stop doing charters, saying he was keeping his boat to fish for fun. Rob and I told him how much fun we had fishing the tournament.

“Larry, you, and Fran should come to Green Bay to go salmon fishing one of these days. You two are always welcome,” Adam said.

“Thanks. It sounds like fun, Adam. I’m not sure how much Fran likes fishing, but she would love to go on the boat. My friend Vince will shit when I tell him about it,” Dad said.

“Bring your friend with you. We’ll make a weekend of it.”

“Would you mind if he brought his wife?”

“Of course not. Your friend and his wife are more than welcome.”

“You and Larry should plan to come here this fall to fish for perch and walleye,” Rob said.

We heard the women talking as they came to the deck. They had glasses of wine in their hands. When they joined us, we asked about their sightseeing.

“We had a great time. Kelly and Jenny showed us around the downtown area, and we had lunch. Marquette is quaint and a mixture of the old and new,” Linda said.

“We went to one of the restaurants where we have our pictures displayed. We sold two photographs,” Jenny said.

“That’s great. I’m glad to hear it,” Rob said.

I knew they didn’t receive much for the photographs, but it was their first sale and a start.

The women took turns telling us about what they saw. When there was a lull in the conversation, Adam spoke up.

“Kelly, Rob said I should ask you about the time you and Justin were stranded in the Adirondacks,” Adam said.

Kelly smiled and told our story about what happened and how we ended up in the little cabin in the woods.

“That’s an amazing story, Kelly.” Linda smiled. “It’s strange that Justin proposed, and you accepted after such a short time together.”

Mom and Dad chuckled. Kelly went on, explaining that we’d known each other for years, about the prom and how we went out, but didn’t really date. She put her hand on my arm and smiled.

“I’d been in love with Justin for a long time. It turns out he felt the same and we finally told each other. Since that wonderful Christmas morning, we’re grown together, and our love gets stronger everyday.”

“Why was Christmas morning wonderful?” Heather asked.

“Because Justin made me his woman. We were virgins before then. I wanted my first time to be with my husband, or at least the man I planned to marry.” Kelly giggled. “It was.”

“When we returned to school, I couldn’t stand being apart from Kelly. I took a chance, left Northwestern, and went to Ohio to tell her I wanted us to move to the Upper Peninsula and attend Northern. She agreed and we made the move,” I said.

“While Justin and I were registering for our classes, I saw a posting on a bulletin board for this house. We had been looking for something but weren’t having any luck. Mom and Dad came up and we looked at a few houses before coming here. The house used to belong to a professor and his wife. He was offered a position at Oxford in the UK and decided to take it.

“Dr. Gilmore’s wife, Abby was from the UK, and she was anxious to go back. Dad made an offer for the house and furnishing and they accepted it. We moved in and started living a dream I didn’t know I had,” Kelly said.

When Heather said, “Wow! That’s an amazing story. You should write a book,” Kelly and I chuckled.

“Almost everyone we tell the story to tell us the same thing,” Kelly said.

“What are you planning to have for dinner tonight?” Mom asked.

“Fresh fish. We did great fishing this morning,” Rob said.

“What time would you like to eat? Fran and I will take care of it,” Dad said.

“Linda and I will help, Larry,” Adam said.

“It’s four now. Let’s plan to eat about six,” Kelly said.

We sat on the deck enjoying the afternoon, changing subjects several times. As we visited, the girls moved closer, carrying on their own conversation. Paul and Rob started talking about walleye fishing and several lakes they wanted to try. Adam repeated his open invitation to go salmon fishing.

“It won’t be long before it will be too cold to sit outside on the deck,” Dad said.

“That’s why I enclosed and heated the pool. We’ll be able to use it during the winter,” I said.

“You should think about putting a firepit out here. They make units designed to sit on a deck without worrying about the wood catching fire. You can get one that burns wood, or uses natural gas,” Paul said.

“I’d want one that burns wood. We have an unlimited supply,” I said.

I stood up, grabbed my beer, and walked toward the yard. Looking around, I thought about where we could place a self-contained firepit. While gazing at the deck, Rob came over to me.

“What do you think about having a firepit, Rob?” I asked my best friend.

“It would be nice to sit around a campfire in the fall. I really like the smell of a campfire,” Rob replied.

“I agree. What I want is your opinion on a pit we can place on the deck.”

“I guess one of those would be okay. If it were me, I’d make a place in the yard away from the deck and house. We could dig a pit, surround with stones, and make benches. It would be more natural than a metal box on the deck. Justin, this is your place, and you should do what you and Kelly want.”

“We should talk to Kelly and Jen to see how they feel. Afterall, the four of us are the ones who will use it. We’ll talk to the girls when our guests leave, and things settle down.”

Rob nodded and we went back to the table. We stayed on the deck until dark and headed in.

The group gathered in the great room and relaxed. The women had wine while the men sipped whiskey.

“When are you and Dad headed home?” Kelly said.

“Dad and I fly out tomorrow at one. We have to get back. We’re going to Florida with Vince and Donna Wednesday to look at a few houses,” Mom said.

“I thought you guys were looking at condos,” I said.

“We were. After the four of us talked about it, we decided we’d rather have a house. Vince and Dad have talked to a real estate agent, and he has several properties for us to look at.”

“Where are you looking?” Adam asked.

“We’re looking in the Boca Raton area. The agent has several houses available on the Intracoastal Water Way. Vince wants somewhere he can keep a boat,” Dad said.

“That’s a nice area. Linda and I have stayed at Deerfield Beach a few times. We may look for something in South Florida when I decide to retire,” Adam said.

Linda put her hand on Adam’s arm. “We should get to bed so we can get an early start tomorrow.”

“You’re leaving?” Kelly said.

“Yes. We have to get home and work in the morning. Besides, I think Paul and Sarah want to get settled into their new apartment,” Adam said.

I chuckled when I saw Sarah nodding.

“We’ll plan breakfast for eight tomorrow morning if it’s okay with everyone,” Jenny said.

“Eight sounds great. I’ll help you and Kelly,” Mom said.

The women talked about breakfast, deciding all of them would help. They would make bacon and eggs. After everyone said goodnight, we headed to our bedrooms.

“You’re going to shower, aren’t you?” Kelly said as we went up the stairs.

Jenny laughed. “Rob better shower or he can sleep in the barn.”

Mom and Dad said goodnight in the hallway, went into their room, and closed the door. Kelly and I went into our room and began undressing. While we stripped, she told me about sightseeing with the women. I told her about fishing and the fun we had with Dad there.

“Dad didn’t fish, but he made coffee and said he enjoyed spending the morning with us,” I said.

When we were down to our underwear, I put my arms around Kelly and released her bra. She pressed her bare chest against me and we shared a kiss. I moved my hands down to her butt, pulling her crotch against mine. As I started tugging at her panties, we heard a light tap on the door.

Kelly pulled away from me and headed for the bathroom. I went to the door, wearing my boxer briefs, and opened it enough to see who was there. When Jenny smiled, I opened the door and let her and Rob into the room.

“Hi, guys. What’s up?” I said.

“We want to talk to you,” Jenny said.

Kelly came out of the bathroom and joined us. “What’s going on?”

“While Rob and I were getting ready to shower, he told me about the conversation he and Justin had this afternoon. Rob said they talked about a firepit, and Justin said all of needed to talk,” Jenny said.

“What firepit?” Kelly asked.

“While the men were talking, Dad mentioned it would be too cold to sit on the deck soon. Paul said we should get one of those self-contained fire pits. I thought about it and got up to look around to see where we could put it. I was standing at the edge of the deck when Rob came over.

“I asked him what he thought about a firepit. He said it would be nice to be able to have a fire in the colder weather, but suggested we put it in the yard instead of on the deck. It would be more like a campfire. I thought it was a good idea, but I felt we all needed to talk about it before deciding.”

“I agree with Rob. A firepit in the yard would be better than having something on the deck. What do you think, Jen?” Kelly said.

Jenny threw her arms around me and held me against her. I rubbed her back, feeling her body quiver. When I looked at her face, I saw tears running down her cheeks.

“What’s the matter, Jen?” I said.

“Justin, you and Kelly are the most caring people I’ve ever met. This is your house and you guys can do whatever you want with it. I can’t explain how it makes Rob and me feel when you ask our opinion,” Jenny said while holding me.

“This may be Kelly’s and my house, but more importantly, it’s all of our home. Kelly and I feel your and Rob’s opinions are important.” I kissed Jenny’s forehead. “Afterall, we’re a family.”

Kelly pulled Jenny away from me and hugged her. “You know we love you and Rob, Jen. As we’ve said many times, you’re the brother and sister we never had.”

“Jen and I have siblings. I can’t speak for her, but I feel closer to you and Jason than I ever have to my brothers and sister. Your unconditional love and friendship means so much to me. The same goes for Larry and Fran. I feel closer to your parents than I do to mine. I’ve learned so much since meeting all of you,” Rob said.

“You can speak for me, baby. You know I feel the same way,” Jenny said.

Kelly kissed Jenny’s cheek and chuckled. She moved to me, wrapped her arms around my neck, and kissed me. Looking at Jenny, Kelly smiled.

“We were getting ready to shower. I think we should conserve water and shower together,” Kelly said.

I laughed. It was unreal how Kelly could change the subject and take the edge off an emotional moment. She went to Jenny, gripped the hem of her shirt, and pulled it over her head, leaving Jen in her panties. We finished undressing, went to the bathroom, and I started the shower.

The four of us got into the stall and moved around to wet our bodies. Kelly grabbed the soap and began washing Rob. Jenny laughed and did the same to me.

As I washed Jenny’s breasts, I said, “We agree that having a firepit in the yard is what we want, right?”

“Sounds good to me, baby. It will be fun to sit around a campfire,” Kelly said.

Jenny giggled, grabbed my cock, and said, “I want this log in my pit.”

Kelly moved closer to Jenny and put her hand between her legs. “You don’t have a pit. You have a nice tight pussy, doesn’t she Justin.”

Realizing Kelly planned to make the night sexual, I chuckled and said, “I don’t remember.”

Rob laughed when Jenny smacked my chest. “You should refresh Justin’s memory, sweetie.”

Kelly gripped Rob’s dick and said, “How about you? Do you need to refresh your memory?”

Rob shook his head. “No, I remember how sweet and tight Kelly’s pussy is. How could I ever forget?”

I pulled Jenny into a hug. “You know I remember, don’t you? I just said I didn’t, so you’d remind me.”

Kelly laughed. “Jenny and I will make sure you two never forget our pussies.”

“You better believe it! Our mouths either,” Jenny said.

We finished in the shower, dried ourselves, and went to the bedroom. Jenny and Kelly whispered and laughed.

“Okay boys, get on the bed and lay on your backs,” Kelly said.

Rob and I did what we were told. Kelly and Jenny climbed onto the bed facing our feet with their crotches above Rob’s and my head. Jenny lowered herself, pressing her pussy against my mouth. I heard Kelly moan and knew she did the same to Rob.

Holding Jenny’s hips, I used my tongue to lick her labia and clit. She leaned forward, gripped my shaft, and took my cock into her mouth. I couldn’t see or hear what was happening beside Jenny and me. I didn’t care. I concentrated on the feeling of Jen bobbing her head on my cock and the taste of her pussy.

After about ten minutes, Jenny released my dick, moved to straddle me, and lowered herself on my cock. I glanced at Kelly and Rob, seeing her ride him. Putting my hands on Jenny’s shoulders, I pulled her down so we could kiss.

The four of us continued our playful couplings. At one point, Kelly grabbed Jenny’s head and pulled her close so they could share a kiss. Kelly whispered in Jenny’s ear, causing both girls to giggle. When they separated, Jenny leaned down, kissed me, and moved off my cock.

I couldn’t help laughing when Kelly disengaged from Rob. The girls flipped around, getting on their hands and knees. Rob and I knelt behind them and started fucking them.

“Let me know when you’re ready to come,” Jenny said.

A few minutes later, I saw Kelly move away from Rob, turn around, and take his cock into her mouth. He held her head as he moved his hips, sliding his dick between Kelly’s lips. Seeing them caused my orgasm to rise and I moved away from Jenny’s upturned ass. Like Kelly had done, she turned around and engulfed my cock.

I heard Rob groan, triggering my climax. Jenny kept her lips wrapped around my shaft as I sent several spurts of cum into her mouth. When my pulsing stopped, Jenny removed her mouth. She and Kelly came together, kissing as they swapped Rob’s and my semen between them.

Rob and I sat watching our wives as they continued. After a few moments, the girls moved apart, and Kelly turned around. She lay on her back as Jenny lowered her pussy to Kelly’s mouth and put her head between Kelly’s legs.

“That’s about as hot as it gets,” Rob said as we watched the girls licking each other.

“You’re right about that, Rob. As I keep saying, we’re the luckiest guys in the world.”

Kelly and Jenny brought each other to their climaxes. Jenny turned around, kissed Kelly, and stretched out beside her. I laid on my back beside Kelly while Rob lay beside Jenny. The girls kissed us and said, “Goodnight.”

“Goodnight. I love you guys,” I said.

Rob told said he loved everyone, kissed Jenny, and said goodnight. I turned off the lamp as we settled in for the night.

I woke up when I felt Kelly kissing me. She smiled as I wrapped my arms around her and held her against me.

“Did you have fun last night?” I asked.

Kelly chuckled and nodded. “I always have fun with you, sweetie.”

“What’s not to like? Kelly and I have two of the hottest men in the world,” Jenny said.

“We need to get up and get going. We have a house full of company,” Rob said.

The four of us took turns in the bathroom before showering together. I wash Kelly and she washed me while Jenny and Rob washed each other. We finished and dried ourselves. Rob and Jenny wrapped towels around their waists, gathered their clothes, and headed to their room to dress. When they opened the door, I heard Mom wish them good morning.

Rob and Jenny laughed and said good morning to Mom and Dad. When I looked in the hallway, I saw everyone laughing. Shaking my head, I started dressing. Kelly was in the bathroom drying her hair. When I told her what happened, she shrugged and laughed.

Kelly and I finished in the bathroom. She dressed and we headed to the kitchen. Jenny stood at the counter, preparing the coffee makers. I sat at the counter with Rob, watching the girls.

Mom and Dad came into the kitchen. We exchanged greetings and then everyone chuckled. Our chuckling turned to laughter when Mom spoke.

“I hope Larry and I didn’t embarrass you and Rob this morning,” Mom said.

Jenny turned around, laughed, and said, “No, not at all. After meeting and getting to know you guys, I’m not sure it’s possible to embarrass me anymore.”

Mom laughed. “Are you saying we corrupted you?”

“No. You and Larry have shown Rob and me life can be fun if we don’t take it too seriously. Once we started talking to each other, we discovered things we never knew.” Jenny laughed. “I think one of the best lessons was realizing the difference between love and sex.”

Rob nodded. “Yeah and learning you can love more than one person. Justin and Kelly have shown us the true meaning of unconditional love. After getting to know you and Larry, we know where they learned it.”

“That cuts both ways, Rob. Kelly and I feel you and Jenny share your love as much as we do.” I saw everyone grin as they nodded. “I’m not talking about sex. While the sex we share is amazing, it’s your willingness to pitch in and share everything. I don’t know how everyone else feel, but I’d feel the same without sex.”

Mom and Dad smiled. Jenny, Rob, and Kelly nodded.

“Sex is a physical connection. Love is emotional. As I’ve said before, you can love someone without having sex with them. You can also have sex with someone you don’t love. Having sex with someone you share an emotional connection with provides pleasure on a whole different level.

“It’s obvious the four of you share a unique relationship. Much like Larry’s and my relationship with Vince and Donna, you have formed a bond. There are people who engage in a swinging lifestyle, but I don’t think it’s how you feel about one another.

“I’m not saying the lifestyle is wrong. Consenting adults should be free to do what they want.” Mom smiled. “I know because I’ve experienced swinging. While it was fun, after Larry and I became serious, it wasn’t as enjoyable as it once was. We enjoy what we share with Vince and Donna, but the four of us have decided we would limit our interactions with others.

“You kids are young and discovering yourselves and each other. This can be a fun time if you keep your heads and don’t let your sexual relationships interfere with your love. Justin and Kelly have told Larry and me they feel Rob and Jenny are the siblings they never had.”

“Fran has showed me that family doesn’t have to be blood related. I feel we’ve all become family,” Larry said.

Jenny went to Dad and Mom. She hugged them and said, “That means so much to Rob and me. Rob and I feel the same way about Kelly and Jenny. My brothers and sisters aren’t blood related. Mom and Dad adopted us when we were infants. It didn’t change how we felt about one another when we found out.”

Rob got up and hugged Mom and Dad. “You know that Jenny and I love you and appreciate everything you’ve done. Kelly and Justin are lucky to have you as their parents. We all are.”
