We finally got to meet Jason! Amber and Sandy left the house half an hour before he arrived, to avoid any questions, and Toni walked him over at 8:15. We said quick hellos, then got into two cars to go to a Mexican breakfast place that his cousin ran. Apparently, Jason was Hispanic on his Mom's side, and he was the 4rd generation born in Texas, but I couldn't see it in his appearance, his hair being a light brown and his eyes green, and he had a typical Dallas accent.
I ordered the huevos rancheros. Just as I got the first forkful into my mouth, Jason asked, "So, Drew, why are you getting married now, instead of after graduation?"
I chewed, then answered, "Well, we got engaged during last year's Spring Break, March 9th, to be precise, and we didn't want a long engagement, but summer was too soon to get everything arranged, and Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks were out because the hotels fill up and Holiday parties fill the ballrooms. So, it was either try to fit it in right after graduation, before we start our first jobs, or during Spring Break. We're taking a trip to Maine after graduation, so that made holding the wedding then even harder. Dallas isn't much of a Spring Break destination, so our parents were able to make the arrangements, pretty easily."
He nodded and said, "It's just that my CPA practice is really busy this time of year, and I won't be able to make it. I'm sorry."
We talked for quite a while about his business. I find Accounting pretty boring, but he actually made it sound interesting. I'll spare you my efforts to do the same.
As we finished eating, his cell phone beeped, and as he looked at it, he muttered what I assume were some choice Mexican expletives. "Damn," he said to the rest of us. "I've got to go into work today after all."
We hurried back, and dropped him right at his car, and Toni got out at the same time.
Shortly after, she came in through our back door, saying, "I'm sorry about Jason. He gets so busy, I only get to see him once or twice a month, and then stuff like that happens. Really, he's married to his job, and I'm just the mistress."
In the afternoon, Toni accompanied Mom, Patti and Patti's Mom Carrie for final fittings for their dresses for the wedding, and I spent the afternoon with Duke and Kenny, getting fitted for our matching suits. I brought them up to date on Patti going off birth control, and they wished us luck. Duke said Jean was arriving on Thursday, and would finally meet his family. Then we'd see them Friday morning, at the hotel.
I got back home, only to find that Patti had gone home with her mother, who had demanded some "home time". I was going to be so glad when we were married and her parents would finally have to acknowledge that her home was with me (and Mom).
I was eating dinner with Mom and Toni when Jason texted, promising her his Sunday. I made love to both of them, but Toni headed home instead of sleeping the night.

Patti was still spending time at her parents', Mom was working a Sunday shift as part of a swap to let her have the next weekend off, and I headed to the gym in the afternoon. I got back to Mom's house around 4:20, and saw Toni and Jason's cars in the driveway next door. I had almost gotten to house #1's front door, when Jason burst out of house #2, screamed, "Don't call me, you disgusting slut!", then slammed the door behind him. He got into his car, and backed out so quickly he left tire marks on the driveway and street, then sped off just as recklessly.
I ran over, and opened the door, to find Toni sitting on the couch, her knees pulled up to her chin, her arms wrapped around them, and wracked by sobs. I moved over to sit beside her, and before I could reach the couch, she realized I was there and threw herself onto me like she had in Galveston, and cried even harder.
I picked her up, and sat on the couch with her in my lap. I just held her and let her soak my shirt. Questions could wait. I was afraid I already knew the answers.
It took several minutes, but she calmed down enough to whisper, "This feels like Galveston, all over again."
I pushed some hair out of her eyes, and looked right into them. I softly said, "I saw Jason leave, so I can guess some of what happened, but not the why."
She let out a big sigh, then slowly said, "My incest bit me in the fucking ass again. We'd been having a pretty good day, when the subject of kids came up, and I brought up wanting to find my niece once she turns 18 and DCFS finally can't stop it, and I decided to let the whole story out, how she's also my little sister, and everything that happened to my Dad and Mona. He asked me point blank if I had also had sex with my Dad, and when I admitted it, he flipped out, worse than Dave did when I told him I'm bi. If you saw him leave, that was just the end of it. He said stuff about me I'd rather not repeat."
"I'm so sorry, Aunt Toni."
She gave me a light kiss on my cheek, then snuggled her face into my neck before saying, "I know you are, Drew. But why do I wind up with all the negative consequences? You and Tina, Henry and his girls, you find people who are accepting, nobody has tried to hurt you after finding out, while I lose my whole family within days of the secret being revealed, and can't find a guy who won't run from me if I dare bring it up. Jason's hardly the first. At least I knew better than to try with Dave. Saying I was bi was enough for him."
I wanted to take her pain away, but knew it was impossible. "I don't know what to say. What happened to your family wasn't fair, and by comparison we and the Kilsons may just be enjoying good luck and someday that will run out on us. But you have to know you now have two families right here who accept you and that past, and will stand by you forever. Even if you still want to keep looking for a boyfriend who will accept you, we are your backup, you'll always have a place in our lives, our hearts, our beds."
"MMmmmm," she said, pulling back to look me in the eyes. "I like being in your beds. Maybe that's where I truly belong, and all this was to get me to see it. Drew... would... would you marry me?"
I cupped her face in my hands, and said, "Toni, this isn't the day to ask me that question, not less than an hour after Jason hurt you so badly. Why don't you wait a bit, let your emotions settle down and if you ask me again, I think I'd say yes." And I kissed her lips, then let her hug me again.
My cellphone rang in my pocket, and it was Mom. I shot her off a quick text, and in a minute, she and Patti were both walking through the door. Toni let me go, and sat on the couch, and I gave way so they could sit on either side of her. I went to the kitchen for some water, while Toni repeated her story.
When I got back, Patti asked me, "You actually turned her down?"
"No," I answered. "I asked her to wait and ask again, which is just what I know you would have done if I had asked you to marry me the same day my Dad died. Right question, wrong time is all."
Patti nodded, but said, "Well, you're not the only person she's asking to marry, and Tina and I have both said yes, because we know it's the right answer to that question, regardless of what happened with Jason. So, I suggest you get with the program, Drew."
I wasn't going to argue the point. I dropped to my knees in front of Toni, took her hands, and said, "Yes, Toni, my love, I will marry you, together with Patti and Tina. Several times over the past year, I've dreamt of you wearing a necklace like Mom's and interpreted that as us being married someday, and I came to know that's what I wanted, while I accepted that you didn't, until now. I can prove it, too. Stay right here?"
I ran up the stairs to one of the unused guest rooms, and retrieved from its closet a box I had put there the summer before. I ran back downstairs and got back on my knees, and opened the box. Inside was another necklace with a tri-color heart pendant. Patti and Mom both gasped, as I hadn't told either of them about it. I took it out, and held it towards Toni, as both of her eyes shed a tear. "You knew?" she asked. Mom took it from me, and put it around Toni's neck, then held her own next to it. Although the pendant was made of the same three golds as Mom's, the sequence of them was different, and Toni's chain was made of white gold instead of the rose of Mom's.
"I hoped. I went back to the same jeweler over the summer, just in case they might discontinue this style in the future. This was before you met Jason, of course." What I didn't say was that I'd actually bought a third necklace at the same time as the 2nd, hopeful then that Jean might join us as well, before she met Duke. It was still sitting up in that closet. Was it waiting for Amber, now?
"How do I explain it?" Toni asked.
I smiled, and said, "Same way my Mom does, it was a birthday gift from me. Your birthday was two weeks ago, after all. Tell people you admired Mom's, and I got you one similar but not identical for you this year, both as a birthday gift and as a thank you for watching our house for us. I doubt anyone will check to find out I actually bought it last summer."
Toni threw herself into my arms again, this time in happiness, but not being prepared, she knocked me backwards, and she landed atop me on the carpet, rapidly kissing about every inch of my face. She sat up on my torso, and pulled off her v-neck tshirt, and said, "You are so getting fucked tonight... husband. Oh, I like the sound of that. C'mon. It's past due that we use the master bedroom here once in awhile."
She rolled off of me, and I quickly picked her up, and carried her up the stairs, as Mom and Patti followed us. I finished undressing Toni, and laid her down at the edge of the bed, and knelt next to it and started eating her out before I took off even a stitch of my clothing. Mom and Patti got out of their clothes, and started pulling at mine, laughing at my impatience to make love to my new wife.
Soon I was nude, and Toni pulled away and scrambled to the middle to the bed, beckoning me with a finger. I climbed onto the bed, following her, and dove face first between her legs again. Mom and Patti each claimed one of Toni's breasts, and between us we sucked and nibbled on her for about 20 minutes, giving her five orgasms, each bigger than the last.
Toni finally pushed my head away, and moaned, "Fuck me now, Drew. I want your cock in my pussy, and one of my wives to ride my face."
I suggested the Splitting Bamboo position, where I would be closer to kneeling over one of Toni's legs, without getting in the way of whoever would be over Toni's mouth. Patti won the rock-papers-scissors match to ride Toni first, but Mom insisted they switch every time Toni got one of them to cum. The other was going to suckle Toni's breasts, and occasionally stroke her clit.
