In this two-part episode, Charlene and I are invited to spend Christmas with our half-siblings on Kapernia.  The first part mostly focuses on what happens before and during the trip.", "writing": "Christmas with the Mason Twins (Part 1)\n\nWhile I was spending my time living with my sister, going to school to learn how to get a good job to support my family, I couldn't help thinking about Melissa and Valerie, trying to support the sons I provided each of them with on their own. I was more concerned about Melissa than Valerie, though. Valerie at least had a lot of support from Eva and Kirara, not to mention plenty of financial support from the Sakura House. Melissa, on the other hand, was largely reliant on her income from her job at \"The Mouse Hole\", which (while paying well) made me fear for her well-being. I felt that Melissa needed me soon, and although I promised to marry her, I didn't know when I would be able to do so. A lot of things would need to be done before I could finally make her my wife.\n\nWeeks passed, and I kept getting letters from both of my future mates, along with pictures of my sons, which only made me lament more over not being there with them. Charlene saw me like this and tried her best to make me feel better. \"You know, sometimes I can't help thinking that I've become our father. He stuck his dick into several different females too\", I commented to my sister while she massaged my shoulder as I looked at a picture of Satoshi with his mother. \"Charlene, do you think that I'll end up like he did?\", I asked my sister.\n\nShe blushed and kept massaging my shoulder. \"Well, in some ways you already are!\", Charlene replied in a playful tone, only making my ears droop and feel worse. She noticed this and nuzzled against me.\n\n\"I didn't mean it like that. I know that you want to show Melissa and Valerie that you wish to love and support them\", Charlene added a few moments later. \"Besides, you're not the only one around here who thinks about them regularly\", Charlene continued as I knew all too well what she meant by that. \"We've only got a few more months left of college, then we should be able to move to Kapernia to be with our loved ones\", she continued before I felt her kiss my cheek softly.\n\n\"Until that happens, though, don't forget that Melissa and Valerie aren't the only ones who want you to be their mate\", Charlene suggested in a slightly playful tone, hinting at her own desire to have pups with me.\n\n\"Mmm...I haven't forgotten about you, Sis. Trust me, as soon as we move and get settled into our new lives, I'll put some pups in your belly. Until then, though, I would prefer not to create any more sons or daughters. I would like to have at least some stability in my life before I decide to breed some more\", I mentioned to my sister.\n\nShe murred, nuzzled against me sweetly, then kissed my cheek once more. \"That's OK...I'm not quite ready to become a mom yet either. We'll just keep doing it for pleasure for now\", she answered.\n\nI agreed and gave her a kiss on the lips, making her murr excitedly when I did so. She returned the favor by giving me a deeper kiss, putting her tongue into my mouth and brushing her hands along both of my cheeks. We soon grew sexually aroused and went into the bedroom to mate, getting a little bit of \"practice\" in for when the time came where we would conceive for real.\n\nA few days later, just as the first major snow event of the winter began, another letter appeared in the mail coming from Kapernia. This one was different from the others, since it was addressed to both me and Charlene. Furthermore, unlike the other letters, this one came from Mike and Michelle.\n\nIn the time that passed since we first met them, DNA tests confirmed that we all shared the same father. Mike and Michelle promised that they would keep in touch with us whenever they had the chance, but this was the first time that we received any mail from them directly. We didn't give too much thought into it, considering that they had very busy lives and maybe didn't have a chance to write to us before now. As such, I brought the envelope back to the apartment, called my sister into the dining room and opened it to see what was inside.\n\nInside the envelope, I pulled out a hand-written note, along with a picture. The picture was that of Melissa, her siblings, Chad Jr., and the Mason Twins all gathered at what appeared to be a large den or something, one with a fireplace in the background and a fully decorated Christmas tree. The back of the picture had writing on it, placed there by Melissa. \"I can't wait to see you again, honey fox! Love, Mel-Mel\", the note read with a kiss in red lipstick placed beneath the writing.\n\n\"Boy, she must really want you to go see her!\", Charlene commented as I reached for the note and prepared to open it.\n\n\"I wish that I could, but you know that we already have plans. Besides, how the hell are we going to get to Victoria anyway\", I replied, knowing that we were supposed to go out of town for Christmas to our parents' new house. That is when I started to read the note. Unlike the picture, the note was written in what appeared to be Michelle's handwriting.\n\n\"Hello, Chad and Charlene! We're sorry that we haven't gotten in touch with you, it's just been crazy busy around here these last few weeks. Anyway, Mikey and I have talked about this, both between ourselves and with Melissa and we think that you two should come join us for the holidays. We would really like to have a chance to spend some more time with our little brother and sister\", the note started.\n\n\"Did I not just say that I would go there if I could?\", I grumbled after reading the note, feeling slightly annoyed by the statement before Charlene pointed out that there was more.\n\nI kept reading the note and discovered that there was something else mentioned in it. \"We realize that it might be hard for you to get here on your own, so Mikey and I want to help you. We've enclosed our personal phone number for you to call and make arrangements with us (please do not give this number to anyone else, this is a private line, and we wish to keep it that way). There are a lot of things we would like to discuss with the two of you, but we want to tell you in person, so please call us as soon as possible so we can start making plans\", the note continued.\n\nAfter reading through it, Charlene and I looked at each other for a few moments and thought about what to do. \"Well, what do you think?\", I asked my sister curiously. She did not hesitate for one moment before answering my question.\n\n\"I think you should go spend some time with Melissa and your first-born son\", Charlene mentioned in a somewhat serious tone. \"She clearly wants you to see her, so why not take advantage of the long break we have coming up to spend time with your family?\", she added.\n\nCharlene had a point, Christmas was a time of year that was best spent with family, and I honestly liked the idea of spending my holiday break with Melissa and our son. Then again, I also had to think about our family here, I didn't know how Mom would take it if I told her that I wanted to spend my Christmas with Melissa. In fact, I hadn't even told her that I planned on marrying Melissa or that we had a son together. I was too afraid of what she might say if she knew.\n\nCharlene could tell that something was bothering me and once again tried to convince me. \"You're gonna have to tell Mom about this eventually, so you might as well just go ahead and get it over with\", she commented. \"Besides, we're adults now, we should be able to make our own decisions in life. If you love Melissa as much as I think that you do, you'll go to Victoria to see her for Christmas\", she added.\n\nI took my sister's comments into consideration and came up with a decision. \"Yeah, I know...you're absolutely right, Sis. I should go see her\", I replied. \"I just hope that Mom doesn't flip out or something when I tell her that she has a grandson\", I added before Charlene corrected me.\n\n\"You mean, two grandsons\", my sister replied as I looked at her and placed a hand on hers.\n\n\"Sis, let's not tell her about Valerie and Satoshi...at least not right now. It's going to be hard enough to explain why we're not going to be able to visit them without bringing that up\", I mentioned.\n\n\"Yeah, I suppose that's fair enough. After all, I remember how Mom took it when I told her that I went both ways\", Charlene replied, referring to an incident back when we were teenagers, back when Charlene first discovered her bisexuality.\n\nAfter this, Charlene went into the living room for a moment, grabbed the cordless phone from there and brought it back to me. \"Anyway, I suppose you should go ahead and call them\", she suggested, handing me the phone as I started to sweat and feel nervous.\n\n\"Sis, I don't know if I'm ready to do this yet\", I commented as she came up behind me and placed her hands on my shoulders, massaging them some.\n\n\"Nonsense...you just need a little bit of motivation!\", Charlene replied in a cheery tone before leaning towards one of my ears.\n\n\"When you're finished talking to Mom, I'll take you into the bedroom and let you have sex with me in any way that you'd like. I'm sure that you'd love to do that, wouldn't you?\", she whispered to me, causing my ears to perk up and my foxhood to begin coming out of the sheath inside my pants.\n\n\"Yes...I'm pretty sure that I would\", I replied before she nuzzled up against me and reached into my pants, grabbing hold of my emerging shaft.\n\n\"Then give Mom a call, tell her what you need to say, then you and I can go have some fun. I'll try my best to keep you motivated while you're talking to her\", Charlene mentioned as I felt her hand begin to rub along my sheath, causing more of my maleness to come out.\n\n\"Alright...but don't get too eager now. After all, Mom might get curious about what we're doing if she hears us\", I replied.\n\n\"I'll be careful, I promise\", Charlene whispered while her cheek touched against mine and she slowly massaged my member with her hand. \"Just focus on talking to her and let me handle this\", she added.\n\nI trusted my sister and tried not to sound too excited as I made the call to our mother. At the same time, I continued to feel Charlene's hand gently rubbing my growing erection, helping it further along as I started to talk to Mom. I explained to her the situation that I was in, all while doing my best not to get too excited for Charlene. I'd say that Mom took the news rather well.\n\n\"You and Melissa have a son? Why didn't you tell me this before?\", she asked in surprise over the phone while I continued to feel Charlene stroking my now fully-erect foxhood inside my pants.\n\n\"Well, it's not like Melissa and I planned on having a kid, at least not right now. It just sort of happened\", I replied.\n\n\"What do you mean 'it just sort of happened'? Didn't either one of you think about using contraception before you decided to have sex?\", she answered back in a more irritated tone.\n\n\"We did...Melissa told me that she was on yiffberries before we had sex, but she still managed to get pregnant anyway!\", I replied in a slightly annoyed tone. \"Also, I'm sure that you're aware that it's a little hard for me to wear a condom during sex\", I added, bringing up the fact that traditional condoms were not designed for Kapernian canid anatomy. \"In fact, I didn't even know that Melissa got pregnant until recently\", I also mentioned.\n\nMom seemed to calm down some after I mentioned all of this, but had something else she wanted to mention. \"Well, I hope you plan on doing the right thing and marry her\", she replied while Charlene kept stroking my foxhood with her hand while I continued talking with my mother.\n\n\"Yes Mom, I already plan on marrying Melissa. Of course, this will mean that I'll have to move to Kapernia, but...\", I started to reply before Mom interrupted me.\n\n\"Honey, you need to do what's best for you and your family. I know how much Melissa has meant to you and I'll be more than happy to see you and her get married. I just wished that you two could've waited a little longer for this to happen, that's all\", she explained.\n\n\"It may still be a while before we can actually get married, though. I have a lot of things to figure out first\", I mentioned to my mother.\n\n\"I know, but you need to do this for her\", mom replied. \"Anyway, once you two have things sorted out, let me know so that I can come see you, OK?\", she added a few moments later.\n\n\"Yes, Mom\", I answered while I felt Charlene continuing to stroke my still-erect foxhood with one hand, moving slowly along it. \"Anyway, I suppose I should start making some travel arrangements, so I'll talk to you later, OK?\", I added.\n\n\"OK honey, I'll talk to you and your sister again soon\", she replied calmly before the two of us hung up and I felt my sister lean against me.\n\n\"See, that wasn't so difficult now, was it?\", Charlene replied.\n\n\"Well, no...not really. Still, it seems like Mom wasn't too thrilled to learn that she already has a grandson\", I mentioned to Charlene just as she squeezed my maleness and made me yip.\n\n\"Well, it's not like she's that old to begin with. After all, she turned 20 the day we came into the world\", Charlene replied, bringing up a good point. \"Even if you and Melissa waited to have kids, she'd still be pretty young for a first-time grandmother\", she added before I felt Charlene squeeze my maleness again. \"Of course, you know that Melissa and Valerie aren't the only ones who want to have your pups. I want to have some as well\", she commented with a playful giggle, causing me to blush and nuzzle my sister softly.\n\n\"Not for a little while, Sis. I think two pups is enough for the time-being\", I mentioned. \"Besides, we should really focus on the move to Kapernia and all that before we think about breeding together\", I added.\n\nCharlene chuckled, then nuzzled me some more. \"I didn't mean today, for crying out loud! I want to have pups of my own, but I'm not THAT eager!\", she exclaimed before I felt her lick at my face. \"Mmm...still, it would be nice to feel your seed fill my womb and think about the day where you and I do it for real\", she soon mentioned in a more playful tone, still rubbing my foxhood with her hand.\n\nI got the message right away and murred. \"Alright...you've waited long enough. I suppose I should give you what you want\", I replied before I kissed Charlene on the lips, feeling her release the grip around my foxhood with her hand. From there, my sister and I went into the bedroom and mated together, with me turning the tie with Charlene as I planted my seed in her uterus. Following our mating, Charlene and I cuddled together on the bed, with me spooning behind my sister, my foxhood semi-erect and touching her rump as it was coated in a mixture of my cum and her vaginal sauce.\n\n\"Chad...I just had a thought. Suppose that you and I conceive twins of our own when we breed together? Do you have any idea what we would name them?\", she asked curiously.\n\nI thought about it for a moment, then came up with an idea. \"Well, you and I both have the same initials, so I suppose we should come up with names that have the same initials for them. We also have the same middle names as Mom and Dad, so maybe our middle names could be their first names\", I replied.\n\nCharlene seemed to think about it for a few moments, then had a response of her own. \"Hmm...maybe...but Edward and Ellen might sound a little too formal\", she mentioned as I nuzzled my sister from behind and tickled her belly a little.\n\n\"Let's not think about it too much right now, Sis. We can wait until you're actually pregnant before we decide on their names...assuming, of course, we end up having one of each at the same time\", I mentioned before my sister and I relaxed together on the bed, basking in the afterglow of our mating.\n\nFollowing the mating and once everything was set, we made the call to our half-siblings in Victoria and made travel arrangements. We were fortunate enough to have an extended break from college in late-December and early-January, which would give us a lot of time to visit Kapernia.\n\nSeveral days later...\n\nAfter making the travel arrangements with the help of our half-siblings, Charlene and I left for Victoria on the 23rd, boarding a Silver Eagle Spacecraft to make the trip. Much like when we traveled with Valerie, we received the first-class treatment, getting our own private cabin on-board the spacecraft, allowing us to fly to Kapernia in comfort and luxury. Of course, it helped significantly that the Mason Twins were incredibly wealthy and that they insisted that we should have our own cabin for the trip.\n\nDuring the final part of the journey, after passing by Kragor en route to Kapernia, I stood over by the window and took a moment to think to myself. Charlene noticed me standing there and joined me. \"Hey...is something bothering you?\", she asked curiously as I turned to her and sighed.\n\n\"You know, I can't help feeling a bit guilty about traveling like this. I mean, the accommodations and the food are great, but it seems like Mike and Michelle have gone to an awful lot of trouble for us\", I told Charlene before she placed her hand on my shoulder and looked at me.\n\n\"Well, they are our brother and sister. Perhaps they wanted to treat us the same way they would for their own family\", Charlene answered.\n\nI saw what my sister was getting at and nodded. \"I know...still, I can't help feeling a bit inadequate compared to our older half-siblings\", I mentioned, referring to everything they had. Charlene immediately put her hands on my cheeks and moved in closer to me.\n\n\"You're not inadequate to me...and I'm sure that Valerie and Melissa would say the same thing if they were here right now\", Charlene replied, right before I felt her embrace me and put her lips on my own, kissing me deeply. Feeling my sister's tongue in my mouth and her holding my body inspired me to grab at her tush and grope it a bit while I felt my foxhood spring to life inside my pants, noticing that Charlene was starting to rub against it a little. We remained like this for a few moments before Charlene pulled her tongue out of my mouth and looked at me with her bright blue eyes.\n\n\"Mmm...there...what are you thinking about now?\", she asked after the kiss, causing me to blush as I kept grabbing at her butt cheeks.\n\n\"Mmm...you...as well as how much that I wish we could get it on here in the cabin\", I replied in a soft and somewhat playful manner, causing Charlene to giggle before she placed a hand at my bulge and rubbed it a little.\n\n\"Save it for when we arrive. Even if we could have sex in the cabin, there's likely not enough time for us to enjoy it before arriving\", Charlene mentioned just before I saw the \"Fasten Seat Belt\" sign appear on the console.\n\n\"Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We are upon final approach to Victoria and will be entering Kapernian atmosphere in a few moments. At this time, we ask that all passengers fasten their seatbelts and prepare for landing. We should be on the ground in just a few minutes\", the female captain announced over the intercom system, just as the Silver Eagle's heat shield went in place over the window.\n\nThis interrupted the private time Charlene and I had together as we quickly got into our seats and buckled up, preparing for arrival. \"I wonder who's going to meet us when we arrive\", Charlene commented as we got into our seats, holding each other's hand just as the automated voice spoke over the intercom.\n\n\"T-30 seconds until entering Kapernian atmosphere. All passengers should be seated and buckled in for arrival\", the voice announced while Charlene and I kept holding hands through the entire entry into Kapernian atmosphere.\n\nAfter several minutes of flying through the atmosphere and over the three main islands of the United Island Colonies, the Silver Eagle Spacecraft touched down at the Victoria Spaceport in the suburb of Dallas. Unlike the previous time we visited Kapernia, it was cloudy and drizzly outside, with an outside temperature in the low-50's. However, that was still an improvement from the type of weather we had back home, with temperatures in the single-digits and about 10 inches of snow on the ground.\n\nWe stayed seated until the spacecraft arrived at Gate Red-3 before getting up and waiting to leave our cabin. We were in Cabin #9 this time around, so we were amongst the second group of cabin-level passengers to depart from the craft and walk down the gate tunnel. After a few moments, Charlene and I looked around for a few moments and saw a yellow-furred vixen wearing a Victoria Stars jersey, she had light brown hair and light blue eyes, and she seemed to notice us right away.\n\n\"Hey! Over here!\", she called to us, with Charlene and I looking a bit puzzled.\n\n\"Is this someone you know, Sis?\", I asked Charlene, thinking that she might know something I didn't.\n\n\"I don't know...she looks a little bit like Michelle, but she doesn't seem to be as tall or as athletic as she is\", Charlene replied as the mystery vixen came to us and explained everything.\n\n\"I'm sorry, my brother and sister must not have told you that I was coming to pick the two of you up\", she explained. \"My name is Jennie, and I was asked by my siblings to bring you to the family compound after you arrived\", she added. \"Mikey insisted that I should have you two visit with him before you did anything else\", Jennie continued.\n\nAlthough I would've preferred to see Melissa first, I didn't really have much of a choice in the matter. As such, Charlene and I went along with Jennie after gathering our things from baggage claim. After this, we got into the black hovercar that Jennie drove to the Spaceport in and made the drive from Dallas to North Victoria.\n\nInstead of going to the more modest house that Mike and Michelle owned, Jennie took us to the primary Mason family compound, located about a mile from Independent Entertainment's World Headquarters. The compound itself was huge...even larger than the property that was owned by Todd and Melissa Mason in Fox Valley City. It was about 80 acres in size, with the exterior of the compound completely surrounded by a 10-foot high wall of solid Indestructium-reinforced concrete that was painted a golden yellow color. The top of the wall had decorative steel spikes that stuck up another 2 feet from the top of the wall.\n\nUpon entering the compound, the car drove past a regulation-size football field, complete with exterior lighting and training equipment. It was used as an alternate training site, in addition to the team's main facility in Victoria. There was also an outdoor swimming pool and recreation area, but the pool had been closed off for the season, though I was told that there was also an indoor swimming pool and hot tub.\n\nAs we got closer to the mansion, we drove past a few smaller but decent-looking homes on the main drive. These homes were provided by the Mason twins for their hired help, offering six-figure annual salaries and providing a comfortable living for the workers that helped maintain the grounds.\n\n\"Holy shit! I heard that Mike and Michelle were wealthy, but I didn't imagine that they'd be THIS wealthy!\", I commented while Jennie was busy driving towards the mansion.\n\n\"Yeah, we get that a lot whenever we have company over. My brother and sister aren't ones to let it go to their heads, though. They both have far more money than they'll ever need and try to help others out whenever they can\", Jennie replied. \"In the past several years, my brother and sister helped pay to build a number of new schools, several hospitals, and even helped start up a new university. They believe in doing things to help make communities stronger and provide better futures for Kapernians, especially kids\", Jennie explained as we pulled up to the main mansion.\n\nThe main mansion was even bigger than the one in Fox Valley City, being four-stories tall with a stone exterior. The mansion had a main entry way and two separate wings that extended from each side about 100 feet from the entry. The driveway ended in a cul-de-sac with something called Neon Rose bushes sitting in the middle of the roundabout, as well as on each side of the doorway. Of course, being winter, the bushes weren't in bloom, but during the spring and summer months I was told that they would blossom with yellow, pink, and purple flowers that glowed in the dark.\n\nThe car stopped in front of the main entry way and we got out, with Jennie suggesting that we should grab our bags and bring them with us. We curiously did as she suggested, with me grabbing the suitcase and backpack I had with Charlene grabbing her suitcase and the travel bag she had. After this, we made our way to the main entrance of the mansion where Jennie opened the door.\n\n\"You two go on ahead, I'll catch up with you in a bit\", she mentioned with Charlene and I stepping into the entry way and having a look around. The entrance of the mansion was quite elegant, with a stained glass window above the door and a crystal chandelier on the ceiling. Curiously, my sister and I made our way further inside, heading in the direction of the main family room, seeing the fireplace and lit Christmas Tree that was present in the picture I received in the mail. In addition to these, the family room had two full-size couches, three arm chairs, and a very large 70-inch TV. Curiously, no one was in the family room at the time, which made me feel a bit confused. That is, until I heard a deep male voice come from nearby.\n\n\"It's about time you two got here\", the deep male voice called, causing both of my tails to stand up straight as I nearly jumped from being surprised.\n\nCharlene took Mike's presence better than I did and turned to face him as he stood nearby. \"You'll have to forgive my brother. He gets a little jumpy at times, especially when someone comes from nowhere\", Charlene explained while I calmed down and turned to face my older (and much larger) half-brother.\n\n\"Anyway, now that you two are here, why don't you leave those bags of yours here for now and come with me to the indoor pool area. I think you two will be in for a bit of a surprise\", Mike explained as Charlene and I looked at each other, both of us feeling puzzled.\n\n\"But we weren't prepared to go swimming. We didn't think we'd need our swim clothes\", Charlene replied.\n\n\"That's quite alright...if you two want, I'll have Jennie go out and pick some up...or, you two could always swim naked in the pool. Michelle and I won't mind if you do it, though just make sure you don't do it while the kids are around\", Mike commented.\n\n\"Kids? There are kids here?\", I replied, wondering what exactly was meant by that.\n\n\"Yes...come along with me and I'll show you two\", he answered back as Charlene and I made our way down the left wing of the mansion a little way before coming to a junction about halfway down the hall. We turned down this hallway, walking past a large game room with several arcade cabinets, a pool table, and a few pinball machines, as well as the mansion's laundry room. At the end of this corridor, there was a glass double door that led to an expansive indoor pool area, complete with three different water slides, all enclosed by a retractable roof. In one corner of the pool area, a large hot tub existed, one that was big enough to fit about a dozen adults comfortably.\n\nInside the hot tub, I noticed that Melissa's littermates (Brian and Brianna) were in the tub, with Brian having his arm draped around his sister while they each had unbreakable wine glasses in their hands. \"Wait...Brian and Brianna are here?\", I asked curiously while Mike guided us through the pool area.\n\n\"Yes...as well as someone else that I'm sure will be quite eager to see you\", Mike replied. \"However, I'll let you go find Melissa later, right now I think there's someone else who wants to see you\", Mike continued while we walked with Mike over by the pool. Along the way, we happened to pass Abigail, who was in the pool along the side near the 5-foot line.\n\nThe teenage mousette wearing a turquoise-colored bikini noticed as Charlene and I walked by and called out to us. \"Hi-i-i-i-i-i! Mel-Mel is going to flip when she sees you here!\", Abigail called to me from the swimming pool as I looked at her and decided to come over to the edge, speaking with my future sister-in-law.\n\n\"Abigail, do you know where your sister is?\", I asked curiously, looking down at the mousette as she looked up at me with her emerald green eyes.\n\n\"She's in her room right now, probably taking a nap along with your son. He got a little excited when he got to go swimming for the first time\", Abigail replied. \"I can take you to see her in a bit if you'd like\", she added.\n\n\"I would like that\", I replied to her in a calm tone, seeing the mousette blush a little. I knew Abigail had thoughts about me sexually, but I did my best to resist any temptation from her. Besides, she was only 15, I would get in trouble if I got caught sticking my foxhood in her mouse hole...especially while I was in the home of two high-ranking officers of the Kapernian Elite Guard.\n\nSpeaking of which, Mike soon turned my attention away from Abigail as he wanted us to follow him. \"Come along now, let's not keep our 'baby brother' waiting\", Mike calmly explained as my ears stood straight up when he mentioned 'baby brother'.\n\n\"Wait a minute! \"Baby Brother?\" You don't mean...\", I started to reply, thinking that I knew exactly who Mike was referring to.\n\nHe smiled and chuckled a bit. \"Why don't you go on over to the 'kiddie pool' and see for yourself!\", he suggested. \"It's over by the picnic tables\", he added, referring to the picnic area that was contained inside.\n\nCuriously, my sister and I made our way towards the picnic area, seeing the tables as well as a couple of gas-powered BBQ grills. The grills were sometimes used when the roof was open for special occasions and parties.\n\nCharlene and I kept walking towards the kiddie pool area and were surprised at what we saw. Sitting in a chair next to the kiddie pool was Joleen, a Raposian female with vivid orange hair, bright green eyes and traditional raposian fur colorations. She was wearing an orange swimsuit with white \"flowers\" on it. Charlene and I met Joleen before, back when we were 16 and she was still a young mother. In fact, Joleen was only about 5 years older than us. She was polite, sweet-natured, and saw her son as the most important thing in her life.\n\nShe saw my sister and I approach and immediately got up from her chair. \"Chad! Charlene! I was hoping you two would come!\", Joleen happily commented with her cheeks blushing a little, turning her attention to the young male raposian in the swimming pool. \"Hey, Jo-Jo! Look who's here!\", she sweetly told her son as I saw the young male look at me with his bright green eyes (inheriting them from his mother) before squealing with joy.\n\n\"BIG BROTHER!!!\", he happily exclaimed, running through the kiddie pool while wearing nothing but a pair of blue swim trunks with dark red trim. It was our 'baby brother' Jowee, the one that we first met back when our father was killed in a motorcycle accident*. Jowee was playful and cheerful in nature, taking a lot after his mom in many regards, and I seemed to be his favorite sibling.\n\nJowee made his way out of the pool and immediately ran towards me, intending to jump up into my arms. \"Wait a second, Jo-Jo. You're soaking wet. Perhaps you should dry off some before you...\", I tried to tell him before he reached me, but it was already too late. He sprang up and leaped into my arms, pressing himself against my body and chrrr'ing with happiness. \"Aww...crap! Now I'm all wet!\", I commented, getting a chuckle out of Charlene.\n\n\"Well, better you than me!\", she replied playfully while Jowee happily cuddled with me.\n\n\"I missed you, big brother!\", he soon commented sweetly as I tried my best not to be put off by the fact that I was getting water all over my clothes.\n\n\"I missed you too, Jo-Jo\", I replied calmly, taking a moment to touch one of his cheeks and tickle it a little, getting him to giggle. Jowee had grown since the last time we saw him. Of course, a lot of that was because he was now 9-years old, but he was still only about three feet tall. \"Anyway, do you think you could climb down now? You got me all wet and I think I need to change my clothes\", I told him in a soft tone, doing my best not to get upset with him.\n\n\"Can we play games together?\", he asked in a cheery tone, remembering how I helped show him how to play video games the last time we met.\n\n\"Sure, Jo-Jo...after you dry off and after I change, OK?\", I answered before his mother intervened.\n\n\"Besides, it'll be dinnertime soon enough and I think it's about time we headed back to our room to get ready\", she mentioned, taking hold of one of Jowee's hands.\n\n\"Aww, but Mom! Can't I play with my big brother now?\", he whined before I set him down on the ground.\n\n\"Later, honey. Your brother is going to be here all night, so you two will have plenty of time to play games after dinner\", she softly told him. \"For now, it's time for us to go\", she added as Jowee's ears dropped down low and he felt a bit bummed.\n\n\"It's alright, Jo-Jo. Go with your mom and we'll play together later\", I assured him, finally convincing the young male to follow his mom's instructions as they started to leave the pool area. Meanwhile, Mike caught up with Charlene and I, giving me a chance to ask him a question.\n\n\"Uh, yeah...exactly how did you know that Jowee was our brother?\", I asked Mike curiously.\n\n\"Well, after I learned about you and Charlene, I got curious to see if I had any other siblings that no one told me about. When I did a search, I found Jowee and his mother and decided to invite them to spend Christmas here\", Mike explained.\n\nI thought about it for a moment and figured that it made sense. \"OK, but what about our other sisters?\", I mentioned, referring to the fact that we also had two more half-sisters back on Earth.\n\n\"Couldn't get in touch with them\", he mentioned. \"Well, except for Eva, I was able to get in touch with her. However, Eva said that she was too busy to attend. It sounded like she wanted to be here, though. Especially after I told her that you and Charlene were also staying with us\", Mike continued before changing the subject. \"Anyway, I would like to have a personal meeting with the two of you in my office, so why don't we head upstairs so we can talk in private\", he soon mentioned.\n\nCharlene and I were curious, so we went along with Mike, leaving the pool area and heading back towards the main entry way. Just before arriving in the family room, there was an elevator that led to the other levels of the mansion. There was another elevator in the other wing of the mansion as well. After pressing the up button, the elevator door opened and the three of us got on board. Once inside, I watched as Mike produced his Independent Entertainment I.D. badge and scan it on a chip reader below the elevator buttons. This allowed him to access the fourth floor of the mansion, which was off-limits to anyone unless they were a diamond-level Independent Entertainment employee (which was limited to Mike, Michelle, Jennie, and their parents).\n\nAfter scanning the card, he pressed the button for the fourth floor and the elevator door closed before ascending. It took a few moments before the elevator arrived at the top floor of the mansion, revealing that this had the master bedroom that Mike and Michelle used, as well as a private office. Like the elevator, a chip reader was located by the door to the office. Mike scanned his I.D. across the reader once more before the door clicked, unlocking it long enough for the door to be opened. \"Go ahead and have a seat over at my desk\", he instructed calmly.\n\nWhile holding hands, Charlene and I entered the office, heading in the direction of the desk. The interior of the office was decorated much like any major corporate office, with dark blue carpeting on the floor, a small lobby area with a couch and coffee table made from what seemed to be solid oak, and a separate conference room area with a long table, 12 office chairs, and a large projection screen. Mike's desk was also made of solid oak, having a computer station set up on it with a large window overlooking the expanse of the \"backyard\". Inside a case near the desk, up against the wall, were numerous major awards that had been given to Independent Entertainment over the course of the years, with some of them dating as far back as the 1980's, long before Mike and Michelle took ownership of the company.\n\nIn front of the desk, there were two chairs with dark blue fabric covering the seat and back rest, while Mike's chair was made from faux black leather, being custom designed with his added height and bulk in mind.\n\nCharlene and I had a seat while Mike walked over to his chair, sitting down a moment later before he started to speak to us. \"So, I hear that you and Melissa plan on getting married\", Mike commented.\n\n\"Well, I would like to, but there are so many things that need to be worked out first. I've got to finish with college, move from Minneapolis to Victoria, find a job...\", I started to comment before Mike interrupted me.\n\n\"I think I can help you with all of that\", Mike started to explain. \"You see, ever since Dad founded Independent Entertainment, he wanted to be sure that the company stayed within the family. Because you and Charlene are family, we want to offer you a chance to become a part of the family business\", he continued while Charlene and I curiously listened.\n\n\"You see, we have several different divisions here at Independent Entertainment and it's hard for us to manage them all, even with the assistance of our android clones\", Mike continued. \"So, Michelle and I talked it over and figured that we would offer you a chance to be in charge of running the video game division for us\", Mike explained.\n\nFor a moment, I wasn't sure what to say about it. I never expected him to offer us a job like this. \"I'm not sure about this, I mean my sister and I don't really have any managing experience\", I replied somewhat nervously. \"I mean, I've taken classes in marketing, accounting, and economics, but I don't know if I have enough of a skill set to manage a department\", I continued.\n\nMike sat at his desk calmly and listened to my comments. \"Michelle and I didn't have any experience in managing either, but we're able to get by just fine\", Mike commented.\n\n\"Yeah, but haven't you had more training and preparation than us? Didn't your 'father' teach you and Michelle about the family business?\", I asked a moment later, still unsure about what to think about Mike's offer.\n\n\"True, but I think with a little bit of confidence and a bit of training, you and your sister will be able to do just fine\", Mike answered before Charlene had something she wanted to mention.\n\n\"I don't know if I could do it either. For years I've wanted to become a nurse, and this sounds like a massive departure from everything I've learned in college\", she explained.\n\nMike seemed to be determined to get us to join and kept trying to convince us. \"You two are willing to turn down a seven-figure a year salary and the potential to earn a share of ownership in the company?\", he replied calmly before turning to me specifically. \"Think about it for a moment. With the kind of money that you would earn, you and Melissa would be able to live a very comfortable life together. You'll have more than enough money to support a family, and Melissa would be able to leave The Mouse Hole. She's mentioned how much she would rather settle down and be your wife than to keep giving it up to total strangers\", Mike continued.\n\nThe offer sounded very tempting. A seven-figure income would be more than enough to raise Chad Jr. with Melissa, plus any other kids we may have in the future. Still, I was worried about whether I could handle such responsibility.\n\n\"Did I also mention that Michelle and I would take care of all moving expenses and travel arrangements?\", Mike commented, still doing his best to convince my sister and I to take the job. It was becoming harder for me to say 'no' by the moment, and I felt like I needed to talk to Charlene.\n\n\"Could you excuse us for a moment?\", I asked Mike as he nodded and suggested that we could go into the conference room for a private discussion. As such, my sister and I walked into the conference room and closed the door, leaving us alone to talk for a few moments.\n\n\"I think that I should take his offer. With what he's proposing, I think it would be foolish of me not to accept this opportunity\", I explained to Charlene as she took my hands and looked at me with concern.\n\n\"Do you think that you'll even be able to handle it?\", she asked curiously, holding my hands tightly.\n\nI sighed, then nuzzled my sister. \"I'm not 100% sure, to be honest. I mean, he did mention that there would be training, and I do have some knowledge about how businesses work. So, I might be able to handle it\", I answered while nuzzling Charlene. \"Besides, I want to be with Mel-Mel...I also want to be with you and Valerie, and a job like this would provide a golden opportunity for us\", I added. \"Plus, it might become a lot easier for us to finally get what we really want\", I continued, getting Charlene to blush a little.\n\n\"Well, I'm not sure if I can go with his offer. You know how much I've wanted to get into nursing, and I don't feel like I can give that up right now\", Charlene commented back before I kissed my sister on the lips.\n\n\"Charlene, you should do what you think is best. I'm sure Mike will understand if you want to become a nurse. As for me, I think it's in my best interest to provide for my sons and future wives\", I replied, deciding to accept Mike's offer. Charlene nodded in understanding, and we went back to Mike's desk to give him our answers.\n\n\"Well, after much consideration, I have decided to accept your offer\", I replied to Mike.\n\nHe seemed happy with my decision and provided me with a contract. \"Great! Go ahead and look this over for a minute and we can talk about when you can begin training after the holidays\", he replied while I examined the contract closely. The contract offered a 5 million UIC Dollar per year base salary, with bonuses for achieving certain milestones ranging from 25,000 to 250,000 UIC Dollars. The contract also mentioned that all moving and travel expenses would be paid for by the Mason Twins as well as any necessary training that I would need. However, I would need to complete training before I could start collecting on the annual salary. Until then, I would earn a 5,000 UIC Dollar/week training rate.\n\nWhile I was looking over the contract, Mike turned his attention to Charlene. \"So, how about you? Would you like to join your brother?\", he asked curiously.\n\nCharlene looked at Mike and sighed. \"Well, I'd love to. However, I don't know if I could deal with it, so I think I'll just stick with becoming a nurse\", she answered.\n\nMike seemed to get an idea and pitched it to Charlene. \"Well, you could always join the Kapernian Medical Corps. I could use my connections through the Elite Guard to get you in\", he offered.\n\nCharlene's ears perked up curiously when she heard him mention this. \"Really? You could do that for me?\", Charlene replied.\n\nMike chuckled as I kept reading over the contract some more. \"Of course! After all, you are my sister\", he mentioned to Charlene. \"You'll have to go through basic training first, but I think you should have no problem getting approval\", he continued. \"Plus, entry-level Medical Corps officers make about double what entry-level civilian nurses make\", he added, getting Charlene to think about his offer.\n\nMeanwhile, I finished going over the contract, reading through the part where it mentioned that I could become a partial owner of Independent Entertainment after 10 years on the job. After taking everything into consideration, I finally signed the contract and handed it back to Mike when I was finished. While I finished with this, Mike continued to explain to Charlene about the Medical Corps.\n\n\"The Kapernian Medical Corps mostly responds to mass casualty situations, like natural disasters and that sort of thing. It may mean that you have to travel to other parts of Kapernia from time-to-time, but for the most part you'll be able to work at the Medical Corps hospital in downtown Victoria, that way you can still be close to your brother if the two of you wish to live together\", Mike explained.\n\nCharlene looked over at me, then took hold of one of my hands, holding it firmly as she seemed to think carefully about it. \"What do you think I should do?\", she asked me a moment later.\n\nI gave Charlene a kiss on her lips and rubbed her hand gently. \"Well, I think that you should listen to whatever your heart is telling you, Sis\", I explained to her, not wanting to force Charlene into making a decision that she may later regret.\n\nShe kept holding my hand and kissed me on the mouth, using her other hand to rub my cheek when she did so. \"My heart is telling me that I want to stay with you. I couldn't stand to be separated\", Charlene responded after the kiss before she turned back towards Mike with her decision.\n\n\"I'll take the offer\", Charlene replied in a confident tone of voice, her hand still clutching mine.\n\n\"Very well then...when you're ready to move, let me know and I'll help you get in touch with the commanding officer of the training academy. Fortunately, the academy is also located in Victoria, so you'll be able to stay close to your brother even while you're in basic training\", Mike explained to Charlene. \"Also, if you decide that you want to join your brother later on, we can keep that option open so the two of you can work together\", he added. I could tell Charlene was thinking about it, but it seemed like she was more interested in being a nurse at this time.\n\n\"Is there anything else you need from us...because I'm still all wet from Jowee hugging me and I really should do something about it\", I mentioned.\n\nMike looked at me and chuckled. \"Of course...you two go ahead and run along now. Dinner should be ready in about a half-hour\", Mike explained before he realized something. \"Oh, that's right...I never told you where your room is\", Mike added before he pressed a button on his intercom system.\n\n\"Yes?\", I heard Jennie reply over the intercom.\n\n\"Jennie, do you think you could come to my office and help Chad and Charlene find their room?\", Mike asked his other half-sibling in a polite tone of voice.\n\n\"Sure thing...just give me a few moments\", Jennie replied before Mike turned his attention to us.\n\n\"We gave you a room right next to Melissa's. We knew that you'd probably want to spend time with her\", Mike started to explain. \"Just try to make sure you keep any of the adult stuff inside your room or hers, we don't want any of the kids to see that\", he added.\n\n\"Would it be alright if Chad and I had sex together while we stayed here?\", Charlene asked curiously, wondering how Mike would take that.\n\nHe chuckled once more. \"Why would you even have to ask me that? You know what I do with Michelle!\", Mike replied. \"Like I said, as long as you don't let the kids see it you two can do whatever you like\", he added just before the office door opened and Jennie stepped in. \"Anyway, I'll let you two go and get ready for dinner. I have a few things to take care of while I'm here\", he mentioned as I felt Jennie take hold of one of my hands.\n\n\"Come along with me...your room should be ready\", Jennie told me softly before my sister and I left the office, heading towards the room that had been prepared for us.\n\nIt took a few moments to make the trip from Mike's office to the bedroom, with Jennie letting us get settled in. The interior of the bedroom was a lot nicer than what I had expected. It had a queen-size bed with a large black comforter on top of gold-colored sheets and pillowcases, a large computer workstation in one corner (with a computer already provided), a dresser ensemble made from the finest of wood, given a reddish-brown finish, complete with solid brass handles. Then, by the wall across from the bed, there was an entertainment center, consisting of a 45-inch HDTV, DVD-player, and several game consoles provided. There was also a device that allowed for switching from one device to another without having to unplug anything. Then, if that wasn't enough, the room also had an attached bathroom, complete with a tub that was big enough for two.\n\nAfter looking around for a bit at our room, I went ahead and took off the wet clothing that I was still wearing, removing my shirt and pants before going into my suitcase to grab dry clothing. While I was doing this, Charlene was sitting on the bed relaxing a little. \"So, what do you think we should do after dinner?\", my sister soon asked as I was busy putting a dry pair of pants on.\n\n\"Hmm...I'm not sure\", I started to answer. \"I kind of want to get together with Mel-Mel since I haven't seen her since we've been here\", I added, thinking of her a bit before turning my attention back to my twin sister. \"Of course, I also plan on spending some time with you later on, it's just that...\", I started to answer before Charlene interrupted me.\n\n\"I know exactly what you mean\", Charlene replied in a soft tone while I was putting on the belt I wore with my pants. \"You should spend time with her. After all, she is going to be your wife soon\", Charlene added a few moments later as I finished with the pants and put on a plain navy blue-colored shirt. Once I was dressed, I went over to Charlene and sat next to her, placing a hand on her cheek while looking in her eyes.\n\n\"She's not the only one I want to be mated to and you know it\", I reminded my sister before kissing her on the lips, making Charlene murr a little. After the kiss, she chuckled and took hold of one of my hands.\n\n\"I know...but I also know how important she is to you, and I want you to be happy\", Charlene replied. \"Go ahead and spend some time with her. We can wait to have our fun until later\", Charlene added before she kissed me, causing my ears to perk up and my tails to coil around each other. \"Just make sure you have enough to satisfy both of us, OK?\", she commented after we kissed.\n\nI let my other hand brush against her soft cheek while still facing my twin sister, letting my nose touch hers. \"I'll do my best\", I answered before there was a knock at the bedroom door.\n\n\"Who is it?\", I replied, not exactly wanting to get up from my seat at that moment.\n\n\"It's Jennie...come on down to the dining room, dinner is almost ready!\", I heard Jennie reply from outside the door.\n\n\"Alright, we'll be there in a minute\", I answered back before hearing Jennie move on. I got up from the bed, stretched for a moment, then took Charlene's hand again. \"Well, I suppose we should head downstairs\", I mentioned, feeling my sister's hand hold onto my own.\n\n\"Yeah, I guess so\", she replied softly just before the two of us left our bedroom, walking hand-in-hand down the hallway towards the stairwell on the way to the dining room.\n\nTo be continued...\n\n*: More on this in a future side-story.\n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "Christmas with the Mason Twins (Part 1)

While I was spending my time living with my sister, going to school to learn how to get a good job to support my family, I couldn't help thinking about Melissa and Valerie, trying to support the sons I provided each of them with on their own.  I was more concerned about Melissa than Valerie, though.  Valerie at least had a lot of support from Eva and Kirara, not to mention plenty of financial support from the Sakura House.  Melissa, on the other hand, was largely reliant on her income from her job at "The Mouse Hole", which (while paying well) made me fear for her well-being.  I felt that Melissa needed me soon, and although I promised to marry her, I didn't know when I would be able to do so.  A lot of things would need to be done before I could finally make her my wife.

Weeks passed, and I kept getting letters from both of my future mates, along with pictures of my sons, which only made me lament more over not being there with them.  Charlene saw me like this and tried her best to make me feel better.  "You know, sometimes I can't help thinking that I've become our father.  He stuck his dick into several different females too", I commented to my sister while she massaged my shoulder as I looked at a picture of Satoshi with his mother.  "Charlene, do you think that I'll end up like he did?", I asked my sister.

She blushed and kept massaging my shoulder.  "Well, in some ways you already are!", Charlene replied in a playful tone, only making my ears droop and feel worse.  She noticed this and nuzzled against me.

"I didn't mean it like that.  I know that you want to show Melissa and Valerie that you wish to love and support them", Charlene added a few moments later.  "Besides, you're not the only one around here who thinks about them regularly", Charlene continued as I knew all too well what she meant by that.  "We've only got a few more months left of college, then we should be able to move to Kapernia to be with our loved ones", she continued before I felt her kiss my cheek softly.

"Until that happens, though, don't forget that Melissa and Valerie aren't the only ones who want you to be their mate", Charlene suggested in a slightly playful tone, hinting at her own desire to have pups with me.

"Mmm...I haven't forgotten about you, Sis.  Trust me, as soon as we move and get settled into our new lives, I'll put some pups in your belly.  Until then, though, I would prefer not to create any more sons or daughters.  I would like to have at least some stability in my life before I decide to breed some more", I mentioned to my sister.

She murred, nuzzled against me sweetly, then kissed my cheek once more.  "That's OK...I'm not quite ready to become a mom yet either.  We'll just keep doing it for pleasure for now", she answered.

I agreed and gave her a kiss on the lips, making her murr excitedly when I did so.  She returned the favor by giving me a deeper kiss, putting her tongue into my mouth and brushing her hands along both of my cheeks.  We soon grew sexually aroused and went into the bedroom to mate, getting a little bit of "practice" in for when the time came where we would conceive for real.

A few days later, just as the first major snow event of the winter began, another letter appeared in the mail coming from Kapernia.  This one was different from the others, since it was addressed to both me and Charlene.  Furthermore, unlike the other letters, this one came from Mike and Michelle.

In the time that passed since we first met them, DNA tests confirmed that we all shared the same father.  Mike and Michelle promised that they would keep in touch with us whenever they had the chance, but this was the first time that we received any mail from them directly.  We didn't give too much thought into it, considering that they had very busy lives and maybe didn't have a chance to write to us before now.  As such, I brought the envelope back to the apartment, called my sister into the dining room and opened it to see what was inside.

Inside the envelope, I pulled out a hand-written note, along with a picture.  The picture was that of Melissa, her siblings, Chad Jr., and the Mason Twins all gathered at what appeared to be a large den or something, one with a fireplace in the background and a fully decorated Christmas tree.  The back of the picture had writing on it, placed there by Melissa.  "I can't wait to see you again, honey fox!  Love, Mel-Mel", the note read with a kiss in red lipstick placed beneath the writing.

"Boy, she must really want you to go see her!", Charlene commented as I reached for the note and prepared to open it.

"I wish that I could, but you know that we already have plans.  Besides, how the hell are we going to get to Victoria anyway", I replied, knowing that we were supposed to go out of town for Christmas to our parents' new house.  That is when I started to read the note.  Unlike the picture, the note was written in what appeared to be Michelle's handwriting.

"Hello, Chad and Charlene!  We're sorry that we haven't gotten in touch with you, it's just been crazy busy around here these last few weeks.  Anyway, Mikey and I have talked about this, both between ourselves and with Melissa and we think that you two should come join us for the holidays.  We would really like to have a chance to spend some more time with our little brother and sister", the note started.

"Did I not just say that I would go there if I could?", I grumbled after reading the note, feeling slightly annoyed by the statement before Charlene pointed out that there was more.

I kept reading the note and discovered that there was something else mentioned in it.  "We realize that it might be hard for you to get here on your own, so Mikey and I want to help you.  We've enclosed our personal phone number for you to call and make arrangements with us (please do not give this number to anyone else, this is a private line, and we wish to keep it that way).  There are a lot of things we would like to discuss with the two of you, but we want to tell you in person, so please call us as soon as possible so we can start making plans", the note continued.

After reading through it, Charlene and I looked at each other for a few moments and thought about what to do.  "Well, what do you think?", I asked my sister curiously.  She did not hesitate for one moment before answering my question.

"I think you should go spend some time with Melissa and your first-born son", Charlene mentioned in a somewhat serious tone.  "She clearly wants you to see her, so why not take advantage of the long break we have coming up to spend time with your family?", she added.

Charlene had a point, Christmas was a time of year that was best spent with family, and I honestly liked the idea of spending my holiday break with Melissa and our son.  Then again, I also had to think about our family here, I didn't know how Mom would take it if I told her that I wanted to spend my Christmas with Melissa.  In fact, I hadn't even told her that I planned on marrying Melissa or that we had a son together.  I was too afraid of what she might say if she knew.

Charlene could tell that something was bothering me and once again tried to convince me.  "You're gonna have to tell Mom about this eventually, so you might as well just go ahead and get it over with", she commented.  "Besides, we're adults now, we should be able to make our own decisions in life.  If you love Melissa as much as I think that you do, you'll go to Victoria to see her for Christmas", she added.

I took my sister's comments into consideration and came up with a decision.  "Yeah, I know...you're absolutely right, Sis.  I should go see her", I replied.  "I just hope that Mom doesn't flip out or something when I tell her that she has a grandson", I added before Charlene corrected me.

"You mean, two grandsons", my sister replied as I looked at her and placed a hand on hers.

"Sis, let's not tell her about Valerie and Satoshi...at least not right now.  It's going to be hard enough to explain why we're not going to be able to visit them without bringing that up", I mentioned.

"Yeah, I suppose that's fair enough.  After all, I remember how Mom took it when I told her that I went both ways", Charlene replied, referring to an incident back when we were teenagers, back when Charlene first discovered her bisexuality.

After this, Charlene went into the living room for a moment, grabbed the cordless phone from there and brought it back to me.  "Anyway, I suppose you should go ahead and call them", she suggested, handing me the phone as I started to sweat and feel nervous.

"Sis, I don't know if I'm ready to do this yet", I commented as she came up behind me and placed her hands on my shoulders, massaging them some.

"Nonsense...you just need a little bit of motivation!", Charlene replied in a cheery tone before leaning towards one of my ears.

"When you're finished talking to Mom, I'll take you into the bedroom and let you have sex with me in any way that you'd like.  I'm sure that you'd love to do that, wouldn't you?", she whispered to me, causing my ears to perk up and my foxhood to begin coming out of the sheath inside my pants.

"Yes...I'm pretty sure that I would", I replied before she nuzzled up against me and reached into my pants, grabbing hold of my emerging shaft.

"Then give Mom a call, tell her what you need to say, then you and I can go have some fun.  I'll try my best to keep you motivated while you're talking to her", Charlene mentioned as I felt her hand begin to rub along my sheath, causing more of my maleness to come out.

"Alright...but don't get too eager now.  After all, Mom might get curious about what we're doing if she hears us", I replied.

"I'll be careful, I promise", Charlene whispered while her cheek touched against mine and she slowly massaged my member with her hand.  "Just focus on talking to her and let me handle this", she added.

I trusted my sister and tried not to sound too excited as I made the call to our mother.  At the same time, I continued to feel Charlene's hand gently rubbing my growing erection, helping it further along as I started to talk to Mom.  I explained to her the situation that I was in, all while doing my best not to get too excited for Charlene.  I'd say that Mom took the news rather well.

"You and Melissa have a son?  Why didn't you tell me this before?", she asked in surprise over the phone while I continued to feel Charlene stroking my now fully-erect foxhood inside my pants.

"Well, it's not like Melissa and I planned on having a kid, at least not right now.  It just sort of happened", I replied.

"What do you mean 'it just sort of happened'?  Didn't either one of you think about using contraception before you decided to have sex?", she answered back in a more irritated tone.

"We did...Melissa told me that she was on yiffberries before we had sex, but she still managed to get pregnant anyway!", I replied in a slightly annoyed tone.  "Also, I'm sure that you're aware that it's a little hard for me to wear a condom during sex", I added, bringing up the fact that traditional condoms were not designed for Kapernian canid anatomy.  "In fact, I didn't even know that Melissa got pregnant until recently", I also mentioned.

Mom seemed to calm down some after I mentioned all of this, but had something else she wanted to mention.  "Well, I hope you plan on doing the right thing and marry her", she replied while Charlene kept stroking my foxhood with her hand while I continued talking with my mother.

"Yes Mom, I already plan on marrying Melissa.  Of course, this will mean that I'll have to move to Kapernia, but...", I started to reply before Mom interrupted me.

"Honey, you need to do what's best for you and your family.  I know how much Melissa has meant to you and I'll be more than happy to see you and her get married.  I just wished that you two could've waited a little longer for this to happen, that's all", she explained.

"It may still be a while before we can actually get married, though.  I have a lot of things to figure out first", I mentioned to my mother.

"I know, but you need to do this for her", mom replied.  "Anyway, once you two have things sorted out, let me know so that I can come see you, OK?", she added a few moments later.

"Yes, Mom", I answered while I felt Charlene continuing to stroke my still-erect foxhood with one hand, moving slowly along it.  "Anyway, I suppose I should start making some travel arrangements, so I'll talk to you later, OK?", I added.

"OK honey, I'll talk to you and your sister again soon", she replied calmly before the two of us hung up and I felt my sister lean against me.

"See, that wasn't so difficult now, was it?", Charlene replied.

"Well, no...not really.  Still, it seems like Mom wasn't too thrilled to learn that she already has a grandson", I mentioned to Charlene just as she squeezed my maleness and made me yip.

"Well, it's not like she's that old to begin with.  After all, she turned 20 the day we came into the world", Charlene replied, bringing up a good point.  "Even if you and Melissa waited to have kids, she'd still be pretty young for a first-time grandmother", she added before I felt Charlene squeeze my maleness again.  "Of course, you know that Melissa and Valerie aren't the only ones who want to have your pups.  I want to have some as well", she commented with a playful giggle, causing me to blush and nuzzle my sister softly.

"Not for a little while, Sis.  I think two pups is enough for the time-being", I mentioned.  "Besides, we should really focus on the move to Kapernia and all that before we think about breeding together", I added.

Charlene chuckled, then nuzzled me some more.  "I didn't mean today, for crying out loud!  I want to have pups of my own, but I'm not THAT eager!", she exclaimed before I felt her lick at my face.  "Mmm...still, it would be nice to feel your seed fill my womb and think about the day where you and I do it for real", she soon mentioned in a more playful tone, still rubbing my foxhood with her hand.

I got the message right away and murred.  "Alright...you've waited long enough.  I suppose I should give you what you want", I replied before I kissed Charlene on the lips, feeling her release the grip around my foxhood with her hand.  From there, my sister and I went into the bedroom and mated together, with me turning the tie with Charlene as I planted my seed in her uterus.  Following our mating, Charlene and I cuddled together on the bed, with me spooning behind my sister, my foxhood semi-erect and touching her rump as it was coated in a mixture of my cum and her vaginal sauce.

"Chad...I just had a thought.  Suppose that you and I conceive twins of our own when we breed together?  Do you have any idea what we would name them?", she asked curiously.

I thought about it for a moment, then came up with an idea.  "Well, you and I both have the same initials, so I suppose we should come up with names that have the same initials for them.  We also have the same middle names as Mom and Dad, so maybe our middle names could be their first names", I replied.

Charlene seemed to think about it for a few moments, then had a response of her own.  "Hmm...maybe...but Edward and Ellen might sound a little too formal", she mentioned as I nuzzled my sister from behind and tickled her belly a little.

"Let's not think about it too much right now, Sis.  We can wait until you're actually pregnant before we decide on their names...assuming, of course, we end up having one of each at the same time", I mentioned before my sister and I relaxed together on the bed, basking in the afterglow of our mating.

Following the mating and once everything was set, we made the call to our half-siblings in Victoria and made travel arrangements.  We were fortunate enough to have an extended break from college in late-December and early-January, which would give us a lot of time to visit Kapernia.

Several days later...

After making the travel arrangements with the help of our half-siblings, Charlene and I left for Victoria on the 23rd, boarding a Silver Eagle Spacecraft to make the trip.  Much like when we traveled with Valerie, we received the first-class treatment, getting our own private cabin on-board the spacecraft, allowing us to fly to Kapernia in comfort and luxury.  Of course, it helped significantly that the Mason Twins were incredibly wealthy and that they insisted that we should have our own cabin for the trip.

During the final part of the journey, after passing by Kragor en route to Kapernia, I stood over by the window and took a moment to think to myself.  Charlene noticed me standing there and joined me.  "Hey...is something bothering you?", she asked curiously as I turned to her and sighed.

"You know, I can't help feeling a bit guilty about traveling like this.  I mean, the accommodations and the food are great, but it seems like Mike and Michelle have gone to an awful lot of trouble for us", I told Charlene before she placed her hand on my shoulder and looked at me.

"Well, they are our brother and sister.  Perhaps they wanted to treat us the same way they would for their own family", Charlene answered.

I saw what my sister was getting at and nodded.  "I know...still, I can't help feeling a bit inadequate compared to our older half-siblings", I mentioned, referring to everything they had.  Charlene immediately put her hands on my cheeks and moved in closer to me.

"You're not inadequate to me...and I'm sure that Valerie and Melissa would say the same thing if they were here right now", Charlene replied, right before I felt her embrace me and put her lips on my own, kissing me deeply.  Feeling my sister's tongue in my mouth and her holding my body inspired me to grab at her tush and grope it a bit while I felt my foxhood spring to life inside my pants, noticing that Charlene was starting to rub against it a little.  We remained like this for a few moments before Charlene pulled her tongue out of my mouth and looked at me with her bright blue eyes.

"Mmm...there...what are you thinking about now?", she asked after the kiss, causing me to blush as I kept grabbing at her butt cheeks.

"Mmm...you...as well as how much that I wish we could get it on here in the cabin", I replied in a soft and somewhat playful manner, causing Charlene to giggle before she placed a hand at my bulge and rubbed it a little.

"Save it for when we arrive.  Even if we could have sex in the cabin, there's likely not enough time for us to enjoy it before arriving", Charlene mentioned just before I saw the "Fasten Seat Belt" sign appear on the console.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain speaking.  We are upon final approach to Victoria and will be entering Kapernian atmosphere in a few moments.  At this time, we ask that all passengers fasten their seatbelts and prepare for landing.  We should be on the ground in just a few minutes", the female captain announced over the intercom system, just as the Silver Eagle's heat shield went in place over the window.

This interrupted the private time Charlene and I had together as we quickly got into our seats and buckled up, preparing for arrival.  "I wonder who's going to meet us when we arrive", Charlene commented as we got into our seats, holding each other's hand just as the automated voice spoke over the intercom.

"T-30 seconds until entering Kapernian atmosphere.  All passengers should be seated and buckled in for arrival", the voice announced while Charlene and I kept holding hands through the entire entry into Kapernian atmosphere.

After several minutes of flying through the atmosphere and over the three main islands of the United Island Colonies, the Silver Eagle Spacecraft touched down at the Victoria Spaceport in the suburb of Dallas.  Unlike the previous time we visited Kapernia, it was cloudy and drizzly outside, with an outside temperature in the low-50's.  However, that was still an improvement from the type of weather we had back home, with temperatures in the single-digits and about 10 inches of snow on the ground.

We stayed seated until the spacecraft arrived at Gate Red-3 before getting up and waiting to leave our cabin.  We were in Cabin #9 this time around, so we were amongst the second group of cabin-level passengers to depart from the craft and walk down the gate tunnel.  After a few moments, Charlene and I looked around for a few moments and saw a yellow-furred vixen wearing a Victoria Stars jersey, she had light brown hair and light blue eyes, and she seemed to notice us right away.

"Hey!  Over here!", she called to us, with Charlene and I looking a bit puzzled.

"Is this someone you know, Sis?", I asked Charlene, thinking that she might know something I didn't.

"I don't know...she looks a little bit like Michelle, but she doesn't seem to be as tall or as athletic as she is", Charlene replied as the mystery vixen came to us and explained everything.

"I'm sorry, my brother and sister must not have told you that I was coming to pick the two of you up", she explained.  "My name is Jennie, and I was asked by my siblings to bring you to the family compound after you arrived", she added.  "Mikey insisted that I should have you two visit with him before you did anything else", Jennie continued.

Although I would've preferred to see Melissa first, I didn't really have much of a choice in the matter.  As such, Charlene and I went along with Jennie after gathering our things from baggage claim.  After this, we got into the black hovercar that Jennie drove to the Spaceport in and made the drive from Dallas to North Victoria.

Instead of going to the more modest house that Mike and Michelle owned, Jennie took us to the primary Mason family compound, located about a mile from Independent Entertainment's World Headquarters.  The compound itself was huge...even larger than the property that was owned by Todd and Melissa Mason in Fox Valley City.  It was about 80 acres in size, with the exterior of the compound completely surrounded by a 10-foot high wall of solid Indestructium-reinforced concrete that was painted a golden yellow color.  The top of the wall had decorative steel spikes that stuck up another 2 feet from the top of the wall.

Upon entering the compound, the car drove past a regulation-size football field, complete with exterior lighting and training equipment.  It was used as an alternate training site, in addition to the team's main facility in Victoria.  There was also an outdoor swimming pool and recreation area, but the pool had been closed off for the season, though I was told that there was also an indoor swimming pool and hot tub.

As we got closer to the mansion, we drove past a few smaller but decent-looking homes on the main drive.  These homes were provided by the Mason twins for their hired help, offering six-figure annual salaries and providing a comfortable living for the workers that helped maintain the grounds.

"Holy shit!  I heard that Mike and Michelle were wealthy, but I didn't imagine that they'd be THIS wealthy!", I commented while Jennie was busy driving towards the mansion.

"Yeah, we get that a lot whenever we have company over.  My brother and sister aren't ones to let it go to their heads, though.  They both have far more money than they'll ever need and try to help others out whenever they can", Jennie replied.  "In the past several years, my brother and sister helped pay to build a number of new schools, several hospitals, and even helped start up a new university.  They believe in doing things to help make communities stronger and provide better futures for Kapernians, especially kids", Jennie explained as we pulled up to the main mansion.

The main mansion was even bigger than the one in Fox Valley City, being four-stories tall with a stone exterior.  The mansion had a main entry way and two separate wings that extended from each side about 100 feet from the entry.  The driveway ended in a cul-de-sac with something called Neon Rose bushes sitting in the middle of the roundabout, as well as on each side of the doorway.  Of course, being winter, the bushes weren't in bloom, but during the spring and summer months I was told that they would blossom with yellow, pink, and purple flowers that glowed in the dark.

The car stopped in front of the main entry way and we got out, with Jennie suggesting that we should grab our bags and bring them with us.  We curiously did as she suggested, with me grabbing the suitcase and backpack I had with Charlene grabbing her suitcase and the travel bag she had.  After this, we made our way to the main entrance of the mansion where Jennie opened the door.

"You two go on ahead, I'll catch up with you in a bit", she mentioned with Charlene and I stepping into the entry way and having a look around.  The entrance of the mansion was quite elegant, with a stained glass window above the door and a crystal chandelier on the ceiling.  Curiously, my sister and I made our way further inside, heading in the direction of the main family room, seeing the fireplace and lit Christmas Tree that was present in the picture I received in the mail.  In addition to these, the family room had two full-size couches, three arm chairs, and a very large 70-inch TV.  Curiously, no one was in the family room at the time, which made me feel a bit confused.  That is, until I heard a deep male voice come from nearby.

"It's about time you two got here", the deep male voice called, causing both of my tails to stand up straight as I nearly jumped from being surprised.

Charlene took Mike's presence better than I did and turned to face him as he stood nearby.  "You'll have to forgive my brother.  He gets a little jumpy at times, especially when someone comes from nowhere", Charlene explained while I calmed down and turned to face my older (and much larger) half-brother.

"Anyway, now that you two are here, why don't you leave those bags of yours here for now and come with me to the indoor pool area.  I think you two will be in for a bit of a surprise", Mike explained as Charlene and I looked at each other, both of us feeling puzzled.

"But we weren't prepared to go swimming.  We didn't think we'd need our swim clothes", Charlene replied.

"That's quite alright...if you two want, I'll have Jennie go out and pick some up...or, you two could always swim naked in the pool.  Michelle and I won't mind if you do it, though just make sure you don't do it while the kids are around", Mike commented.

"Kids?  There are kids here?", I replied, wondering what exactly was meant by that.

"Yes...come along with me and I'll show you two", he answered back as Charlene and I made our way down the left wing of the mansion a little way before coming to a junction about halfway down the hall.  We turned down this hallway, walking past a large game room with several arcade cabinets, a pool table, and a few pinball machines, as well as the mansion's laundry room.  At the end of this corridor, there was a glass double door that led to an expansive indoor pool area, complete with three different water slides, all enclosed by a retractable roof.  In one corner of the pool area, a large hot tub existed, one that was big enough to fit about a dozen adults comfortably.

Inside the hot tub, I noticed that Melissa's littermates (Brian and Brianna) were in the tub, with Brian having his arm draped around his sister while they each had unbreakable wine glasses in their hands.  "Wait...Brian and Brianna are here?", I asked curiously while Mike guided us through the pool area.

"Yes...as well as someone else that I'm sure will be quite eager to see you", Mike replied.  "However, I'll let you go find Melissa later, right now I think there's someone else who wants to see you", Mike continued while we walked with Mike over by the pool.  Along the way, we happened to pass Abigail, who was in the pool along the side near the 5-foot line.

The teenage mousette wearing a turquoise-colored bikini noticed as Charlene and I walked by and called out to us.  "Hi-i-i-i-i-i!  Mel-Mel is going to flip when she sees you here!", Abigail called to me from the swimming pool as I looked at her and decided to come over to the edge, speaking with my future sister-in-law.

"Abigail, do you know where your sister is?", I asked curiously, looking down at the mousette as she looked up at me with her emerald green eyes.

"She's in her room right now, probably taking a nap along with your son.  He got a little excited when he got to go swimming for the first time", Abigail replied.  "I can take you to see her in a bit if you'd like", she added.

"I would like that", I replied to her in a calm tone, seeing the mousette blush a little.  I knew Abigail had thoughts about me sexually, but I did my best to resist any temptation from her.  Besides, she was only 15, I would get in trouble if I got caught sticking my foxhood in her mouse hole...especially while I was in the home of two high-ranking officers of the Kapernian Elite Guard.

Speaking of which, Mike soon turned my attention away from Abigail as he wanted us to follow him.  "Come along now, let's not keep our 'baby brother' waiting", Mike calmly explained as my ears stood straight up when he mentioned 'baby brother'.

"Wait a minute!  "Baby Brother?"  You don't mean...", I started to reply, thinking that I knew exactly who Mike was referring to.

He smiled and chuckled a bit.  "Why don't you go on over to the 'kiddie pool' and see for yourself!", he suggested.  "It's over by the picnic tables", he added, referring to the picnic area that was contained inside.

Curiously, my sister and I made our way towards the picnic area, seeing the tables as well as a couple of gas-powered BBQ grills.  The grills were sometimes used when the roof was open for special occasions and parties.

Charlene and I kept walking towards the kiddie pool area and were surprised at what we saw.  Sitting in a chair next to the kiddie pool was Joleen, a Raposian female with vivid orange hair, bright green eyes and traditional raposian fur colorations.  She was wearing an orange swimsuit with white "flowers" on it.  Charlene and I met Joleen before, back when we were 16 and she was still a young mother.  In fact, Joleen was only about 5 years older than us.  She was polite, sweet-natured, and saw her son as the most important thing in her life.

She saw my sister and I approach and immediately got up from her chair.  "Chad!  Charlene!  I was hoping you two would come!", Joleen happily commented with her cheeks blushing a little, turning her attention to the young male raposian in the swimming pool.  "Hey, Jo-Jo!  Look who's here!", she sweetly told her son as I saw the young male look at me with his bright green eyes (inheriting them from his mother) before squealing with joy.

"BIG BROTHER!!!", he happily exclaimed, running through the kiddie pool while wearing nothing but a pair of blue swim trunks with dark red trim.  It was our 'baby brother' Jowee, the one that we first met back when our father was killed in a motorcycle accident*.  Jowee was playful and cheerful in nature, taking a lot after his mom in many regards, and I seemed to be his favorite sibling.

Jowee made his way out of the pool and immediately ran towards me, intending to jump up into my arms.  "Wait a second, Jo-Jo.  You're soaking wet.  Perhaps you should dry off some before you...", I tried to tell him before he reached me, but it was already too late.  He sprang up and leaped into my arms, pressing himself against my body and chrrr'ing with happiness.  "Aww...crap!  Now I'm all wet!", I commented, getting a chuckle out of Charlene.

"Well, better you than me!", she replied playfully while Jowee happily cuddled with me.

"I missed you, big brother!", he soon commented sweetly as I tried my best not to be put off by the fact that I was getting water all over my clothes.

"I missed you too, Jo-Jo", I replied calmly, taking a moment to touch one of his cheeks and tickle it a little, getting him to giggle.  Jowee had grown since the last time we saw him.  Of course, a lot of that was because he was now 9-years old, but he was still only about three feet tall.  "Anyway, do you think you could climb down now?  You got me all wet and I think I need to change my clothes", I told him in a soft tone, doing my best not to get upset with him.

"Can we play games together?", he asked in a cheery tone, remembering how I helped show him how to play video games the last time we met.

"Sure, Jo-Jo...after you dry off and after I change, OK?", I answered before his mother intervened.

"Besides, it'll be dinnertime soon enough and I think it's about time we headed back to our room to get ready", she mentioned, taking hold of one of Jowee's hands.

"Aww, but Mom!  Can't I play with my big brother now?", he whined before I set him down on the ground.

"Later, honey.  Your brother is going to be here all night, so you two will have plenty of time to play games after dinner", she softly told him.  "For now, it's time for us to go", she added as Jowee's ears dropped down low and he felt a bit bummed.

"It's alright, Jo-Jo.  Go with your mom and we'll play together later", I assured him, finally convincing the young male to follow his mom's instructions as they started to leave the pool area.  Meanwhile, Mike caught up with Charlene and I, giving me a chance to ask him a question.

"Uh, yeah...exactly how did you know that Jowee was our brother?", I asked Mike curiously.

"Well, after I learned about you and Charlene, I got curious to see if I had any other siblings that no one told me about.  When I did a search, I found Jowee and his mother and decided to invite them to spend Christmas here", Mike explained.

I thought about it for a moment and figured that it made sense.  "OK, but what about our other sisters?", I mentioned, referring to the fact that we also had two more half-sisters back on Earth.

"Couldn't get in touch with them", he mentioned.  "Well, except for Eva, I was able to get in touch with her.  However, Eva said that she was too busy to attend.  It sounded like she wanted to be here, though.  Especially after I told her that you and Charlene were also staying with us", Mike continued before changing the subject.  "Anyway, I would like to have a personal meeting with the two of you in my office, so why don't we head upstairs so we can talk in private", he soon mentioned.

Charlene and I were curious, so we went along with Mike, leaving the pool area and heading back towards the main entry way.  Just before arriving in the family room, there was an elevator that led to the other levels of the mansion.  There was another elevator in the other wing of the mansion as well.  After pressing the up button, the elevator door opened and the three of us got on board.  Once inside, I watched as Mike produced his Independent Entertainment I.D. badge and scan it on a chip reader below the elevator buttons.  This allowed him to access the fourth floor of the mansion, which was off-limits to anyone unless they were a diamond-level Independent Entertainment employee (which was limited to Mike, Michelle, Jennie, and their parents).

After scanning the card, he pressed the button for the fourth floor and the elevator door closed before ascending.  It took a few moments before the elevator arrived at the top floor of the mansion, revealing that this had the master bedroom that Mike and Michelle used, as well as a private office.  Like the elevator, a chip reader was located by the door to the office.  Mike scanned his I.D. across the reader once more before the door clicked, unlocking it long enough for the door to be opened.  "Go ahead and have a seat over at my desk", he instructed calmly.

While holding hands, Charlene and I entered the office, heading in the direction of the desk.  The interior of the office was decorated much like any major corporate office, with dark blue carpeting on the floor, a small lobby area with a couch and coffee table made from what seemed to be solid oak, and a separate conference room area with a long table, 12 office chairs, and a large projection screen.  Mike's desk was also made of solid oak, having a computer station set up on it with a large window overlooking the expanse of the "backyard".  Inside a case near the desk, up against the wall, were numerous major awards that had been given to Independent Entertainment over the course of the years, with some of them dating as far back as the 1980's, long before Mike and Michelle took ownership of the company.

In front of the desk, there were two chairs with dark blue fabric covering the seat and back rest, while Mike's chair was made from faux black leather, being custom designed with his added height and bulk in mind.

Charlene and I had a seat while Mike walked over to his chair, sitting down a moment later before he started to speak to us.  "So, I hear that you and Melissa plan on getting married", Mike commented.

"Well, I would like to, but there are so many things that need to be worked out first.  I've got to finish with college, move from Minneapolis to Victoria, find a job...", I started to comment before Mike interrupted me.

"I think I can help you with all of that", Mike started to explain.  "You see, ever since Dad founded Independent Entertainment, he wanted to be sure that the company stayed within the family.  Because you and Charlene are family, we want to offer you a chance to become a part of the family business", he continued while Charlene and I curiously listened.

"You see, we have several different divisions here at Independent Entertainment and it's hard for us to manage them all, even with the assistance of our android clones", Mike continued.  "So, Michelle and I talked it over and figured that we would offer you a chance to be in charge of running the video game division for us", Mike explained.

For a moment, I wasn't sure what to say about it.  I never expected him to offer us a job like this.  "I'm not sure about this, I mean my sister and I don't really have any managing experience", I replied somewhat nervously.  "I mean, I've taken classes in marketing, accounting, and economics, but I don't know if I have enough of a skill set to manage a department", I continued.

Mike sat at his desk calmly and listened to my comments.  "Michelle and I didn't have any experience in managing either, but we're able to get by just fine", Mike commented.

"Yeah, but haven't you had more training and preparation than us?  Didn't your 'father' teach you and Michelle about the family business?", I asked a moment later, still unsure about what to think about Mike's offer.

"True, but I think with a little bit of confidence and a bit of training, you and your sister will be able to do just fine", Mike answered before Charlene had something she wanted to mention.

"I don't know if I could do it either.  For years I've wanted to become a nurse, and this sounds like a massive departure from everything I've learned in college", she explained.

Mike seemed to be determined to get us to join and kept trying to convince us.  "You two are willing to turn down a seven-figure a year salary and the potential to earn a share of ownership in the company?", he replied calmly before turning to me specifically.  "Think about it for a moment.  With the kind of money that you would earn, you and Melissa would be able to live a very comfortable life together.  You'll have more than enough money to support a family, and Melissa would be able to leave The Mouse Hole.  She's mentioned how much she would rather settle down and be your wife than to keep giving it up to total strangers", Mike continued.

The offer sounded very tempting.  A seven-figure income would be more than enough to raise Chad Jr. with Melissa, plus any other kids we may have in the future.  Still, I was worried about whether I could handle such responsibility.

"Did I also mention that Michelle and I would take care of all moving expenses and travel arrangements?", Mike commented, still doing his best to convince my sister and I to take the job.  It was becoming harder for me to say 'no' by the moment, and I felt like I needed to talk to Charlene.

"Could you excuse us for a moment?", I asked Mike as he nodded and suggested that we could go into the conference room for a private discussion.  As such, my sister and I walked into the conference room and closed the door, leaving us alone to talk for a few moments.

"I think that I should take his offer.  With what he's proposing, I think it would be foolish of me not to accept this opportunity", I explained to Charlene as she took my hands and looked at me with concern.

"Do you think that you'll even be able to handle it?", she asked curiously, holding my hands tightly.

I sighed, then nuzzled my sister.  "I'm not 100% sure, to be honest.  I mean, he did mention that there would be training, and I do have some knowledge about how businesses work.  So, I might be able to handle it", I answered while nuzzling Charlene.  "Besides, I want to be with Mel-Mel...I also want to be with you and Valerie, and a job like this would provide a golden opportunity for us", I added.  "Plus, it might become a lot easier for us to finally get what we really want", I continued, getting Charlene to blush a little.

"Well, I'm not sure if I can go with his offer.  You know how much I've wanted to get into nursing, and I don't feel like I can give that up right now", Charlene commented back before I kissed my sister on the lips.

"Charlene, you should do what you think is best.  I'm sure Mike will understand if you want to become a nurse.  As for me, I think it's in my best interest to provide for my sons and future wives", I replied, deciding to accept Mike's offer.  Charlene nodded in understanding, and we went back to Mike's desk to give him our answers.

"Well, after much consideration, I have decided to accept your offer", I replied to Mike.

He seemed happy with my decision and provided me with a contract.  "Great!  Go ahead and look this over for a minute and we can talk about when you can begin training after the holidays", he replied while I examined the contract closely.  The contract offered a 5 million UIC Dollar per year base salary, with bonuses for achieving certain milestones ranging from 25,000 to 250,000 UIC Dollars.  The contract also mentioned that all moving and travel expenses would be paid for by the Mason Twins as well as any necessary training that I would need.  However, I would need to complete training before I could start collecting on the annual salary.  Until then, I would earn a 5,000 UIC Dollar/week training rate.

While I was looking over the contract, Mike turned his attention to Charlene.  "So, how about you?  Would you like to join your brother?", he asked curiously.

Charlene looked at Mike and sighed.  "Well, I'd love to.  However, I don't know if I could deal with it, so I think I'll just stick with becoming a nurse", she answered.

Mike seemed to get an idea and pitched it to Charlene.  "Well, you could always join the Kapernian Medical Corps.  I could use my connections through the Elite Guard to get you in", he offered.

Charlene's ears perked up curiously when she heard him mention this.  "Really?  You could do that for me?", Charlene replied.

Mike chuckled as I kept reading over the contract some more.  "Of course!  After all, you are my sister", he mentioned to Charlene.  "You'll have to go through basic training first, but I think you should have no problem getting approval", he continued.  "Plus, entry-level Medical Corps officers make about double what entry-level civilian nurses make", he added, getting Charlene to think about his offer.

Meanwhile, I finished going over the contract, reading through the part where it mentioned that I could become a partial owner of Independent Entertainment after 10 years on the job.  After taking everything into consideration, I finally signed the contract and handed it back to Mike when I was finished.  While I finished with this, Mike continued to explain to Charlene about the Medical Corps.

"The Kapernian Medical Corps mostly responds to mass casualty situations, like natural disasters and that sort of thing.  It may mean that you have to travel to other parts of Kapernia from time-to-time, but for the most part you'll be able to work at the Medical Corps hospital in downtown Victoria, that way you can still be close to your brother if the two of you wish to live together", Mike explained.

Charlene looked over at me, then took hold of one of my hands, holding it firmly as she seemed to think carefully about it.  "What do you think I should do?", she asked me a moment later.

I gave Charlene a kiss on her lips and rubbed her hand gently.  "Well, I think that you should listen to whatever your heart is telling you, Sis", I explained to her, not wanting to force Charlene into making a decision that she may later regret.

She kept holding my hand and kissed me on the mouth, using her other hand to rub my cheek when she did so.  "My heart is telling me that I want to stay with you.  I couldn't stand to be separated", Charlene responded after the kiss before she turned back towards Mike with her decision.

"I'll take the offer", Charlene replied in a confident tone of voice, her hand still clutching mine.

"Very well then...when you're ready to move, let me know and I'll help you get in touch with the commanding officer of the training academy.  Fortunately, the academy is also located in Victoria, so you'll be able to stay close to your brother even while you're in basic training", Mike explained to Charlene.  "Also, if you decide that you want to join your brother later on, we can keep that option open so the two of you can work together", he added.  I could tell Charlene was thinking about it, but it seemed like she was more interested in being a nurse at this time.

"Is there anything else you need from us...because I'm still all wet from Jowee hugging me and I really should do something about it", I mentioned.

Mike looked at me and chuckled.  "Of course...you two go ahead and run along now.  Dinner should be ready in about a half-hour", Mike explained before he realized something.  "Oh, that's right...I never told you where your room is", Mike added before he pressed a button on his intercom system.

"Yes?", I heard Jennie reply over the intercom.

"Jennie, do you think you could come to my office and help Chad and Charlene find their room?", Mike asked his other half-sibling in a polite tone of voice.

"Sure thing...just give me a few moments", Jennie replied before Mike turned his attention to us.

"We gave you a room right next to Melissa's.  We knew that you'd probably want to spend time with her", Mike started to explain.  "Just try to make sure you keep any of the adult stuff inside your room or hers, we don't want any of the kids to see that", he added.

"Would it be alright if Chad and I had sex together while we stayed here?", Charlene asked curiously, wondering how Mike would take that.

He chuckled once more.  "Why would you even have to ask me that?  You know what I do with Michelle!", Mike replied.  "Like I said, as long as you don't let the kids see it you two can do whatever you like", he added just before the office door opened and Jennie stepped in.  "Anyway, I'll let you two go and get ready for dinner.  I have a few things to take care of while I'm here", he mentioned as I felt Jennie take hold of one of my hands.

"Come along with me...your room should be ready", Jennie told me softly before my sister and I left the office, heading towards the room that had been prepared for us.

It took a few moments to make the trip from Mike's office to the bedroom, with Jennie letting us get settled in.  The interior of the bedroom was a lot nicer than what I had expected.  It had a queen-size bed with a large black comforter on top of gold-colored sheets and pillowcases, a large computer workstation in one corner (with a computer already provided), a dresser ensemble made from the finest of wood, given a reddish-brown finish, complete with solid brass handles.  Then, by the wall across from the bed, there was an entertainment center, consisting of a 45-inch HDTV, DVD-player, and several game consoles provided.  There was also a device that allowed for switching from one device to another without having to unplug anything.  Then, if that wasn't enough, the room also had an attached bathroom, complete with a tub that was big enough for two.

After looking around for a bit at our room, I went ahead and took off the wet clothing that I was still wearing, removing my shirt and pants before going into my suitcase to grab dry clothing.  While I was doing this, Charlene was sitting on the bed relaxing a little.  "So, what do you think we should do after dinner?", my sister soon asked as I was busy putting a dry pair of pants on.

"Hmm...I'm not sure", I started to answer.  "I kind of want to get together with Mel-Mel since I haven't seen her since we've been here", I added, thinking of her a bit before turning my attention back to my twin sister.  "Of course, I also plan on spending some time with you later on, it's just that...", I started to answer before Charlene interrupted me.

"I know exactly what you mean", Charlene replied in a soft tone while I was putting on the belt I wore with my pants.  "You should spend time with her.  After all, she is going to be your wife soon", Charlene added a few moments later as I finished with the pants and put on a plain navy blue-colored shirt.  Once I was dressed, I went over to Charlene and sat next to her, placing a hand on her cheek while looking in her eyes.

"She's not the only one I want to be mated to and you know it", I reminded my sister before kissing her on the lips, making Charlene murr a little.  After the kiss, she chuckled and took hold of one of my hands.

"I know...but I also know how important she is to you, and I want you to be happy", Charlene replied.  "Go ahead and spend some time with her.  We can wait to have our fun until later", Charlene added before she kissed me, causing my ears to perk up and my tails to coil around each other.  "Just make sure you have enough to satisfy both of us, OK?", she commented after we kissed.

I let my other hand brush against her soft cheek while still facing my twin sister, letting my nose touch hers.  "I'll do my best", I answered before there was a knock at the bedroom door.

"Who is it?", I replied, not exactly wanting to get up from my seat at that moment.

"It's Jennie...come on down to the dining room, dinner is almost ready!", I heard Jennie reply from outside the door.

"Alright, we'll be there in a minute", I answered back before hearing Jennie move on.  I got up from the bed, stretched for a moment, then took Charlene's hand again.  "Well, I suppose we should head downstairs", I mentioned, feeling my sister's hand hold onto my own.

"Yeah, I guess so", she replied softly just before the two of us left our bedroom, walking hand-in-hand down the hallway towards the stairwell on the way to the dining room.
