Chapter 8

The silence was deafening as everyone in the room seemed to wait for Ian's response to his sister's declaration. Slowly Ian approached Phillip's bed, his face a mask of pure anger. When he stood no more than three feet from the end of the bed, he looked first at Moira then at Phillip, his good arm still around little Kathleen.

"I will say this only one time sister mine. You either grab Kathleen, and come home with me right now or you can stay here. But, if you stay then you will have no home to return to."

Moira was terrified of being cast out of her home, but Phillip was here and she desperately wanted to stay by his side. Only the fear of her precious daughter being homeless was stronger. Almost reluctantly she began to rise to follow her brother.

Phillip could easily see the fear on Moira's face, and he just as easily knew that it was fear for Kathleen more than herself that was causing her to bow to her brother's wishes. He was torn about what he should do. He found Moira to be the most beautiful woman he had ever met, and strangely in only the few hours they knew each other, many of those spent unconscious for Phillip, he found he did not want her leaving him. But who was he to decide what was best for a woman he didn't even know? His mind was torn on what he should or could do.

In the end it was little Kathleen who made up Phillip's mind for him.

Seeing her mommy give in to her uncle, Kathleen became terrified. Her new daddy was a hero. He made the bad men go away so easily, and made her and mommy feel so safe. Even now, with her head tucked under his arm she felt safer and more content then she ever had before. She didn't want to lose her new daddy. In her fear she clung even harder to Phillip and burrowed her face into his chest. Frightened little whimpers started to come from her. It was those whimpers that decided Phillip. His mind racing with the implications of what he was about to do, he looked at Moira's forlorn face and with the same commanding voice his father used to use said, "Moira sit back down. If you don't want to leave you don't have to. If Ian does toss you out you can come stay at home with me."

Suddenly the room erupted in a clamor of voices. His sister and Lana were protesting his decision almost as strongly as Ian was. His mother was trying to get him to consider the ramifications. Moira was telling him that it was all right and that she would go with her brother, but she still followed Phillip's command and sat. Oscar just stood to the side silently laughing. The voices were starting to get on Phillip's nerves. The pain from his shoulder was still there, although lessened from all the pain killers. And like most pains in the upper body, it was trying to spread to his head. The many voices were starting to increase that pain.

"Enough!" he all but yelled. The suddenness of the outburst caused everyone to be instantly quiet. Turning first to Ian, "Listen, I don't know what your problem with me is, but if Moira wants to stay then she stays. If you want to punish her for that by throwing her out then she will be more then welcome in my home."

Ian seemed to get even angrier before he threw his hands in the air and stormed off with a muttered, "Fine, if you want her so bad then take her."

"Brother what have you done?" Mandy demanded.

"I'll tell you what I've done little sis, I've welcomed a pair of new members into our family."

"But..."

"No buts Mandy," he interrupted. "For years now I've been the one running and taking care of this family. For all intents and purposes I'm the head of this family now. I'm sorry if my decision doesn't suit you, but it is MY decision."

Mandy didn't know what to say. With her knew found knowledge of just how much she and her mother had been relying on Phillip to take care of everything, she knew that he was right. He was head of the family now. If he said somebody was moving in then it was his right. But she was also so very angry. Moira was so pretty and obviously in love with her brother. She didn't want her in the house taking away his attention from his sister. Having almost lost him had spun her world around. She needed him now so much more than ever before. She needed him to love her as much as she loved him. It wasn't just a mental need anymore but a physical one as well.

In the end though it was something else entirely that made her bow to her brother's proclamation. Like her mother Mandy was a very submissive woman. She needed to be controlled. Through control she felt safe and loved. In the end it was the command in his voice that decided her. "Yes brother."

Seeing he had his sister's consent he then turned to his mother. "Mom, I know you love us and worry about us, but ... I'm sorry I have to say this, but what I said was true. I've been taking care of everything now for so long that I feel like the head of the household. I hope you understand. I know that having Moira and Kathleen move in with us will take some getting used to but it IS going to happen."

Elizabeth WAS worried. But not for the reasons Phillip thought. "Yes Phillip you are the head of the household now, but what I'm worried about is the financial concerns. Can we afford to have her live with us?"

Seeing his mother's worry he tried to reassure her. "Mom, we can afford it. I grant you, it's gonna be a little tight but we should be able to afford it. We'll just have to be more careful how we spend our money."

Seeing maybe her only chance at real happiness finally coming true Moira jumped in. "If finances are a problem I can help. I get a small stipend of about $300 a month from a trust my father set up for me before he died. I know it's not much but I also have a part time job at the Museum of Science & Industry down town. I work days while Kathleen's at Kindergarten."

"See mom, problem solved. Now while we're at it we need to make arrangements to pick up any of your stuff from your home Moira."

So for the next half hour they all sat and talked about what needed to be done. Phillip decided that they could have the spare bedroom downstairs. A quick call home found Lana's parents there finishing up Phillip's abandoned thanksgiving day dinner. A few explanations later and they agreed to clean up the guest room and have it ready for Moira and Kathleen.

Now throughout this Mandy and Lana seethed inside. They had finally come to accept that they wanted Phillip no matter what it took. Having the beautiful Irish woman living in the same house as Phillip would be a nightmare. With her precious daughter calling him daddy, they figured it was only a matter of time before Moira tried to make it official. This they simply could not allow. They knew that somehow they would have to get rid of her.

Elizabeth saw the angry and scheming looks on their two faces and got even more worried than before. She decided that she was definitely going to have to talk with Phillip soon, or the situation could get out of hand very quickly. In the mean time she also had to figure out how to let Phillip know what she did to him in the recovery ward. Just the memory of it caused her to flush and her pussy to get almost dripping wet. Now that she had tasted her son's incredible cock and his delicious cum, she just had to get more. But how to get him to agree?

By the time the details for Moira's move were worked out it was getting late. Oscar knew that he needed to get he and his sister home soon. He hoped that he wouldn't have the same problem as Ian had. Coughing lightly to get her attention he said, "Sis, it's getting time for us to head back home."
