Brief recap of part one: Chris and Janey are two twentysomethings who have been seeing each other for over two years. Her parents, George and Jeanette, have finally come to terms with how serious the couple is and have finally accepted him. As a gesture, they invite him along to a weekend camping trip. After taking a brief hike, the young couple return to the campsite to hear her parents having sex in their tent. Leaving the two to their activities, Chris and Janey decide to go for another walk to give them time to finish. Janey soon makes a change of plans and she and Chris start to engage in their own escapade. Unfortunately, they are interrupted by Jeanette (and I felt so bad for doing that to them, don't worry, I'll make it up to them shortly). This is where we pick back up.

Jeanette comes around the bend of the path just as Chris and Janey finish straightening out their clothing. "There you kids are. Come on, George and I just finished putting together lunch."
"Lunch sounds good mom. I'm ravenous," Janey says and gives her lover a look that indicates that she'd like nothing more than to have him for lunch.
The trio returns to the campsite just as George sets down the last of the spread on the folding card table. "Ah set out some fixin's for some sandwiches. We got some ham, turkey, chicken, salami, pastrami, a couple of kinds of cheese, some lettuce, tomatoes, onions... There's some pickles an' a couple kinds of chips over there for sides if y'all want 'em an' there's some drinks over there in the cooler. Y'all help yerselves" he drawls in his Southern accent.
"Thanks George, it looks really good," Chris says as he grabs a pair of paper plates off the stack and hands one to Janey. After they've made their own personal masterpiece of a sandwich, they take a seat in the deck chairs surrounding the dugout fire pit. Soon, they're taking turns cracking jokes and telling stories. George makes the suggestion that the group changes into their swim gear and plunge into the river. The others agree that the idea sounds wonderful and head off to their tents to get ready.

George and Jeanette push the flap aside and enter their tent. As they're changing, Jeanette remarks to her husband, "I think I may have interrupted Chris and Janey earlier."
"Whadda ya mean?"
"Well, when I went looking for them to let them know lunch was ready, I came across them just off the North trail. I caught them in the middle of having sex. They were so involved, that they didn't notice me. So I turned around, walked down the trail a bit, and started yelling at the top of my lungs for them. I even gave them a bit of time to get their clothes straightened out."
"Well, they're young and in love, you remember what that was like, don't you? We know that she's got her head on straight an' that she's smart enough that she ain't gonna get involved with some loser who's gonna end up hurtin' her. Ah've told you all along that Chris is a good guy an' is gonna be good to and for Janey. Ah'm glad to see that you seem to finally come around on him an' our daughter is too. Ah've had a feelin' about him since the first time she brought him that this guy was gonna be the one for her. You know the boy's worked really hard to impress us. If he was just after some ass, he woulda given up after a couple of months, but they've been together for around two years. It's not gonna surprise me in the least if Chris pops the question in the next couple of months."
"Do you really think so? I guess I didn't want to like Chris since he was going to take our daughter away from us. We tried so hard and so long to have her in the first place and were unable to have any more; I just didn't want to lose her.
"I think I knew form the start that he was going to be the one for her, but just tried to deny it for so long. I think I finally turned around when we went to see my niece Amy after she had her baby last month and the way the two of them looked when Janey was holding him and Chris was standing next to her. I flashed to them being in the delivery room themselves and the image just 'fit.'"
"Ah think she's glad that you've finally changed your mind. So am I. But ah think that I'll have to have a talk with Chris. Do you want me to tell him we give our blessing to him when he's ready to propose or do you want to make him sweat it out a bit?"
"I think I've been hard enough on him. You can tell him that we would both love to have him in the family."
George and Jeanette give each other a loving hug and make their way out to join the kids.
"Ya do know they'll probably be having sex together at night, doncha?"
"Yeah, but like you said, they're young and in love, and I remember how it was..."
*****
As they're removing their clothes and fishing for their bathing suits, the two lovers talk about the apparent reversal of Jeanette's feelings toward Chris.
"I wonder what prompted your mother to change her mind if she was the one I had to win over."
