My dad’s secret

Hi, my name is Megan, I’m 5’7 and have brown hair with B-cup boobs. Unfortunately my mom passed away when I was 12. I’m 18 now and I wanted to know a little more where I came from. So I looked at my family tree in my bedroom and saw some of my ancestors. I never saw it before honestly, but when I did, I knew why.

“Holy shit,” I said.

I looked and saw that both of my parents were under one couple, Gina and Andy Thompson under Frank and Julie Thompson. That only left me with one conclusion: could my parents have been brother and sister? If my grandparents had both of them, what other explanation could there be? I sat there and pondered this horrific scenario, but after a few minutes, I calmed down a bit. If that was in fact true, there would definitely have to be a story behind it. I also wondered if I should ask my dad about this, and would I be OK if it was true. That was would also explain why he never liked to talk about the family. So I brought the family tree out to the living room one Saturday night.

“Hey, sweetie,” My dad Andy said.

He saw what I had in my hand, and then all of the sudden he seemed less happy by the look on his face.

“What do you got there?” Andy asked.

“Just our family tree,” I replied as I sat next to him.

He played it cool, but I knew at the back of his mind something was up.

“Dad, you’ve never lied to me before, except about Santa and telling me you had my nose,” I said.

“Yes?” Andy hesitantly asked.

When I was first thinking about it, I thought it would be easy, but that wasn’t the case.

“If I ask you something, will you promise you’ll be truthful with me?” I asked.

“Yes, I promise,” Andy replied as he took a deep breath.

So I put out the family tree so we could both see it.

“I never saw this before today, and I just noticed something weird about it,” I said.

“Really, what?” Andy asked.

I was hoping he’d just come out with it, but he didn’t. I held it out for a minute trying to wait him out. It was like a game of chicken, just seeing who would say something first. I just knew that he knew what I was wondering about, but he wasn’t budging at all, so I just asked him.

“Dad, according to this family tree, you and mom have the same parents,” I said.

“What, let me see that,” Andy replied as if he was surprised.

He took it so I couldn’t see it, and he looked at it for a minute.

“Well, this must be a misprint or something, it’s not important. I’ll be sure to get a fixed copy for us,” Andy said.

He just got up and jetted back to his room, but that just made me think my scenario really was true. I couldn’t help but go to his room with him, he was sitting on his bed looking stressed.

“Dad, what’s wrong?” I asked.

“Shit, after so many years, I thought this was a done deal and you’d never find out,” Andy replied.

“Find what out?” I asked.

I could definitely see he wasn’t gonna just answer, I was gonna have to pull it out of him.

“Come on, dad, tell me what’s going on? Why are you so nervous about this?” I asked.

“Well, sweetheart, you are an…” Andy replied.

“I’m a what, dad?” I asked.

He took in another deep breath.

“You see Megan, your mother and I were very much in love,” Andy replied.

“Yes?” I asked.

“Your mother and I were an…” Andy replied.

He stayed quiet for a few more seconds.

“Incestuous couple,” Andy whispered.

I knew exactly what he said, even know he whispered.

“Were you and mom brother and sister?” I asked.

He actually shed a couple of tears and nodded his head. I gave him a hug, and it was a lot easier to swallow by then for some reason.

“Why didn’t you tell me, daddy?” I asked.

“Your mother and I just didn’t want you to know, we didn’t want you to think you were an incest accident,” Andy replied.

“Was I an accident?” I asked.

He was silent, and that was my answer.

“Yes, you were an accident, but we still loved you nonetheless. We both wanted to keep you and be together,” Andy replied.

I just gave him the biggest hug I ever gave anyone. I don’t think I ever saw him get so emotional in my life. He told me how it happened and everything else. Nothing changed, it wasn’t like I was gonna have superpowers from that knowledge, but it was definitely something to think about though.
