The Best Laid Plans...


      Rick and Dina sat in the den, drinking soda and listening to the
interesting noises floating down the hall.  Dina shook her head, "I never in
my life expected this!"

      Rick regarded her, "How did this REALLY happen?"

      "Mum got nosy when I came home," she replied.  "I went into cover
mode, but she wasn't having any, and kept probing.  I whipped you out - just
that you were there, seeing Mandi - to provide a distraction, but then they
REALLY cranked up the heat.  I didn't admit anything, and played the whole
thing off as a science project - I told them that you and Mandi were doing
some 'nature thing' - but the fact that you were out with a girl at all was
enough to keep the dogs baying.  When they started in on you, I figured you
deserved help, and went on the attack.  By the way - nice backup!"

      Rick smiled. "I recognized the effort for what it was.  I couldn't
believe the crater that opened up when you let go with that salvo, though!"

      Dina shook her head, "Me either.  I knew, somewhere, that there was a
serious problem out there - but I didn't know it was so close to the
surface!  After we got going, I just played it by ear.  Gram put the pieces
together, and I started adjusting things to suit.  What did Pop say?"

      "I feel obligated not to betray his confidence - but it's been a near
thing.  This stupidity of Mum's - and the fact that Pop wasn't the type to
put his foot down - we almost came from a broken home!"

      "Well, this might fix it, from the sound of things - IF Mum doesn't
manufacture some moral conundrum, or find a way to make Pop ashamed of
himself!" Dina reasoned.  "If Gram's right, she won't do the former - and
only Pop can defend against the latter!"

      Rick nodded sagely, "Things sound pretty good, up there!"

      "Yeah," replied Dina, grinning.  "Righteous wrath stopped some time
ago, and the begging and pleading... has turned into something else!"


      "Let's watch some TV," Rick urged.  "I feel like a voyeur."  The TV
provided a merciful respite from the noises - and the knowledge that serious
sex went with them.

      Thirty minutes or so later, their parents appeared in the doorway,
hand in hand.  Both had that sated look - and Marilyn carried a glow that
made her appear several years younger.  "Well," began Marilyn, "where were
we?"

      Robert came to their rescue, "We were discovering that out children
were well educated and very capable of handling themselves in this area."

      "But..."

      "You want to hear about Rick and his significant other.  I got the
tale while you and Dina were upstairs.  Suffice it to say that they have a
committed relationship" (Robert added a significant glance) "with ALL the
trimmings.  I suggest that we make a date to meet this remarkable young lady
- and her mother - I suspect she's going to end up our daughter-in-law!"

      "What about THIS one?" Marilyn asked, picking up Dina with her eyes.

      "THAT one is 14 going on 40!  You won't teach HER anything - it'll all
go the other way!  Her brother characterizes her - accurately - as a 'master
manipulator', a talent we've seen displayed recently.  Nothing is going to
happen to HER that she hasn't planned - in detail!  She told me that she's
still virgis intactae, and I believe her.  But she also told me she WON'T be
in two weeks - and I believe that, too!"

      Mother and daughter eyed one another, the Marilyn slowly nodded.
"You're right - I'm not rated to teach graduate level courses in sex."  She
collected them with her eyes, "Come see me if you need a second opinion,"
she said, then turned and walked out.   Robert gave the pair the fish eye
for a moment longer, then followed his wife from the room.
      Dina lurched up and followed the pair into the hallway, "Mum, I'll
need to start on the Pill."

      Marilyn sighed, "I'll call Dr. Bentley tomorrow."  She stopped,
locking eyes with her husband, "What about Rick's - Mandi?"
      "Handled, so she says," Robert replied. "Rick - be sure you SEE a pill
case!  Do you know what they look like?"

      "I'd recognize one," Rick replied, looking surly.  "I trust her!"

      "Many a young man has placed his trust in the word of a young woman
out to hook him, only to be trapped by biology!" Marilyn intoned.

      "Well, I KNOW she's on the Pill.  Denise is always giving her shit
about how unnecessary it is... or was..." announced Dina.

      "An object lesson on how things can change rather quickly," Robert
pointed out, mildly.  "Let's see what we can whip up for lunch.  I'm
starved!"

      "Poor baby's got to recharge his sperm bank!" Marilyn simpered.

      "...Said the fool to the man who can reduce her to jelly!" responded
Robert, archly, as the foursome entered the kitchen.  "Why don't you just
bait bears and withhold steaks from tigers?"

      "I know a place where you can buy mink lined handcuffs..." Dina
murmured.

      Both parents whirled on her, "Where? Write it down!" Robert roared.
