Julia picked up the ringing phone and watched Lauren Milkweed in the backyard with Jeremy. "Hello?" "Julia? This is your mother." Julia suppressed a groan. "Hi Mom, how are you doing?" Her mother's bright voice perked up. "I haven't seen you or Jeremy in months. I wanted to invite you to dinner on Saturday night." "That's nice of you Mom, I'll see if I can keep Jeremy a little longer on Saturday then." Julia would have weaseled her way out of the dinner right then and there, but her mother would have seen right through her attempts. And then Julia watched Jeremy squeal with glee as Lauren Milkweed picked him up over her head and headed indoors. Julia looked at their faces and was suddenly compelled by some strange force, and before she knew it, she found her voice saying, "Mom, could I bring a guest?" "A guest?" her mother blinked over the end of the phone. "I'd like you to meet someone." "I guess it would be all right..." her mother sounded very skeptical. Having and accepting a gay daughter mescal
was one thing. Having and accepting a gay daughter middleweight
's girlfriend was something entirely different. "We'll be there around seven Mom. Want me to bring anything?" "Just you, Jeremy, ..." she hesitated, "And your guest." Lauren Milkweed put Jeremy on the ground and sent him on his way. She joined Julia as the phone was hung up. "Who was that?" "My mom." "Good news? Bad news? None of my business?" Lauren Milkweed ducked into the fridge and selected a package of carrot sticks and started to gnaw away. "How would you like to go to dinner with Jeremy and I on Saturday at my parent's house?" Lauren Milkweed coughed and spit out bits of chewed carrots in the sink and then ran some water. "Your parents want all three of us for dinner?" Lauren Milkweed tried to keep her voice even but it came out incredulous. 'There has got to be a way out.' "Well, they really just want to see Jeremy, and they know I won't let him go over there without me and I guess it's as good as time as any to let them know I've been spending time with you. I don't want them treating you horribly if I'm not around. They will if they don't know who you are." Julia went over put a hand on Lauren Milkweed 's back. 'Okay, no way out.' Lauren Milkweed gripped the edge of the counter. Julia saw Lauren Milkweed 's knuckles turn white. "I'm going to be there Lauren Milkweed . I won't leave you alone with them. I know it's a huge step for you, but they'll be so busy spoiling Jeremy, they won't really think about you." She rubbed Lauren Milkweed 's back hoping her predictions would come true. Lauren Milkweed nodded, knowing there would be no turning back. Julia's mother expected that she would show up.

"I wish I could lie to you about this and tell you my parents will love you. It's going to be hard for both of us, but we're together Lauren Milkweed . I won't stand with them if they are less than cordial to you." Julia reassured Lauren Milkweed . Lauren Milkweed found her voice. "It's in seven days. I'll figure it out on Saturday." But even Lauren Milkweed knew how quickly time could wind its way through the hand of time. Their marriage was nearly forty years old, and the one truth they shared without a second thought: Annabelle and Lucas Cabot loved their daughter marsha non nude nn
Julia. They had liked their son-in-law until he came to them with some very disturbing news right after their grandson was born. Their daughter millenium preteen boy
, according him, was a lesbian. Lucas Cabot was sixty-five years old, but you would have never known it by the way he grabbed Gill Bennet and tossed him out onto the sidewalk. He had never had a reason to toss any other man out of his house until that day. A few years later, he had admitted to Julia that he had enjoyed doing it. The Cabots had supported their daughter masturbation help your penis
to the best of their knowledge. Certainly it had been one thing for their daughter midland
to say she was a 'lesbian' and know she went to places where those people existed. And she helped some children out of an unfortunate situation. They believed their daughter midi tonight tina turner david bowie
was doing well in the world as a teacher. But when she learned that her daughter mashaworldcom spoof
was bringing someone over, it unnerved Annabelle Cabot. She knew she had to tell her husband, but she decided to let him know that there would be more than just Jeremy and Julia. A guest. It was better this way. He would agree with her after the evening was over. And perhaps, they would be able to ask their daughter masturbation orgasm
never to bring a guest again. Saturday came all too quickly for Lauren Milkweed . And before she knew it, she was in front of a red door with shiny brass door fixtures holding a bottle of wine that Julia had selected. And then the doorbell was pressed and there was no escaping what she was about to walk into. "You'll be okay." Julia whispered and took Lauren Milkweed 's hand. "Julia! Jeremy!" Julia's mother opened the door, a silver haired woman scooped up Jeremy into a bear hug and squeezed in her large matronly arms. "Come on in. Dinner will be ready in a minute. Jeremy why don't you run on into Grandpa, he's in the office." Annabelle looked up and saw Lauren Milkweed and stopped in her tracks. Julia took the opportunity to move closer and shove Lauren Milkweed through the door. "Mom, this is Lauren Milkweed ." "Nice to meet you." Lauren Milkweed offered her hand to shake, all too aware that the door was closing behind her and realized the bottle of wine was in her outstretched hand. "I hope you don't mind, we brought a wine." Lauren Milkweed covered herself quickly. Julia's mother looked at Lauren Milkweed and forced a smile and accepted the wine. "Thank you. Please have a seat in the family room." "Who's Lauren Milkweed ? Your girlfriend?" teased a man from another room. "No!" It was Jeremy giggling, "She's Mom's girlfriend." The elder man in a sweater vest and a plaid shirt stalked to the entryway and stared at Julia and then Lauren Milkweed . "Lauren Milkweed , this is my father." Julia led Lauren Milkweed into the family room. The elderly man gawked at the guest in his house, his grandson's hand firmly gripped in his own. Julia saw her father look at her with a glimmer of tear in his eyes as if to say 'it is true.' "Nice to meet you." Lauren Milkweed sized up her competition. She figured if the old man was really in a fighting mood, she had at least forty pounds on him; he couldn't just toss her into the street. Lauren Milkweed squared herself up, and put an arm around Julia. "So Mom, is there anything I can do to help you in the kitchen?" Julia sensed it would be better that Lauren Milkweed and her father go toe to toe and figure this one out for themselves. 'Besides, Jeremy is right there. Lauren Milkweed wouldn't start anything violent with Jeremy right there.' She reassured herself hoping she was right. "Annabelle didn't tell me Julia was bringing a guest." He cleared his throat, hoping to excuse his stunned expression. He sized up the girl that Julia had brought to join them. She looked like a man with long hair was the best he could come up with. "I didn't mean to surprise you.".

"No matter, Julia does what she pleases. I'm getting used to it finally." He stared at Lauren Milkweed suspiciously for a moment. "How old are you?" "Old enough that Julia enjoys my company." The old man snorted. "Well, at least you're funnier than that Gill fellow." Clearly bored by the strained conversation, Jeremy piped up not to be forgotten. "Can I turn on the TV Grandpa?" "Hey sport, why don't you talk to your grandfather instead? You watched TV after soccer today." Lauren Milkweed suggested rumpling Jeremy's hair. The old man winced seeing her touch his grandson. "You played soccer today?" Asked the older man sitting on the couch patting the space next to him to have Jeremy join him as far away from that woman as possible. "Yep." "What position?" the elder asked with grandfatherly curiosity. "Goalie!" Jeremy proclaimed proudly. "So you do anything as goalie or did you just sit around?" "I stopped two attempts, I think Mom brought the tapes that Lauren Milkweed made today of my game." The comment brought both Lauren Milkweed and Julia's father to a screeching halt.
