The third part of the story, as before all characters are of legal age in terms of consent and adulthood. Sex where it appears is consensual, welcome to my world.

"OK, okay, quiet time family," Jack raised his hands wide and slowly lowered them to the table.
"Hun," said Angela, "stop being pompous, making us all sit round the dining table, are you going to use that pad to write notes?"
Everyone but Jack giggled, then realised he was deadly serious.
"Look, hear me out, please!" he sat back in his chair and fiddled with his pen.
"I really don't know what to say," he said, "I want to understand what's happened and what you two are going to do! Look you scared me shi...senseless the other night, but I'm trying to be adult and open about my feelings, can you please just bear with me?" his voice rose slightly and he reddened.
"Sorry Dad," they said, Angela, held his hand and nodded, a 'me too'.
"Right, now I understand you two have feelings for each other that go way beyond the normal brother and sister relationship, but I need to understand why that is, why you haven't found anyone outside this home. He gripped Angela's hand tightly, "Have I, err, we failed you in some way, did we miss something in your lives, what can we do to help you?"
Chris looked directly at his Dad and Mum, "Guys we love you to bits, you are the best parents anyone could ever have. No Dad you've not failed us, no way; what we have is partly made up of the love and care you've shown us. The openness and freedom you gave us to explore situations and make decisions based on gut feelings. What we have discovered is that of all the people we've met, the only two people we can feel relaxed confident and safe with is each other."
"Wow, that's some endorsement there," said Angela, but do you feel, oh! I can't think how to say this," she said standing and clutching the back of the chair.
"Mum," said Julie, "are you okay?"
"Shit, shit, shit, shit" said Angela, "sorry, look you two, do you hold any sexual feelings for me and Dad, there I said it?"
Chris smiled, "Mum, speaking for myself, no I don't, you're my mum and well, that makes you non-sexual in my world, although you are very, very pretty, may I say, but you're too perfect for any sexual kind of love, I wouldn't even consider it, sorry if that's the wrong answer,"
"Ditto Dad," said Julie, smiling at her parents. "Sorry but you're so special to us and that means sex is not even in the equation, again sorry if that disappoints you."
"Speaking only for myself," said Angela, "I'm pretty relieved to hear it."
"Ditto kids" said Jack, "Phew cross that off the list, although I have to say Julie that you reminded me very much of your mother, when she was your age, when we saw you both in bed, if that's not being to rude or personal."
Julie blushed and nodded, "Thanks Dad, that's so sweet of you."
"Chris, you're far more handsome and fitter looking than your Dad was at your age, but I wouldn't change him for a minute, and I love him more now than I've ever done."
They all laughed and sat back glowing in the strength of their family love.
"Dad, Mum" said Chris, " are you two happy to let us go on sharing a room?"
Jack stood up and paced the room, "son, this is so hard for me and your mother, " he glanced at Angela, who nodded her agreement.
"We had agreed that if you had a steady relationship and were over 18, then we'd prefer you to be under our roof when you..." he paused and waved his hands, "...you know, rather than end up trying to do it in the car or somewhere equally bad and not really being able to enjoy each other properly, does that sound right?" he turned to Angela and shrugged a "help me out here" look to her.
"Well, I guess what your Dad is saying is that we care enough to want you both to experience the physical side of love in safe and comfortable surroundings, however, we expected about four people, in two pairs in the equation, rather than just you two." Angela said.
"Takes some getting used to I'm afraid, but to answer your question, as you seen to be both incredibly mature about this relationship that you have. And the fact of us actually finding you together in bed, it would be hypocritical of us to make you pretend to us it isn't happening and drive you away. I have real anxiety about the trouble you may be storing up for yourselves if you get caught, but yes you can continue to share a bed."
"And before your father forgets or says something silly, don't worry about being lovers around us, within these walls whatever you say or do is okay with us, subject to not engaging in lewd or obscene behavour that you wouldn't do if you had non family partners."
" Okay folks we'll save the good stuff until we close the bedroom door," leered Chris, dodging a swat from Julie but catching a slap on the arm from Angela. "Seriously though," said Chris, " That's great, we promise to respect your rules and if we get too sloppy you can tell us," he said, leaning towards Julie and kissed her gently, before moving away again.
"don't do that," said Jack, "that's my baby girl, you big lummox, come here princess and give your Dad a hug."
Julie laughed and ran to sit on her Dad's lap, beaming at him and throwing her arms round him.
Chris put his arm round Angela, smiled and kissed her cheek.
