Project Twincest: The First

Nurse Joy quickly retrieved the folder and left once more, taking with her any chances of finding out just what was in that red folder. With nothing else to do but sit and wait, I tried to focus on the video but my thoughts were soon drawn to Alex as I began to wonder about how his exam was going. Had he already gotten his results? Had they come back negative? My heart sank at the idea that Alex had found out he wouldn't get to be a father and I couldn't be there to console him. I could only hope he had received good news and that he was already meeting his new mate.

When the video finally ended, I hardly even noticed. It wasn't until Nurse Joy walked back in to the room and turned on the lights that I realized how much time had passed. I also took notice of the pink envelope that she was carrying in her hands.

"Are those my test results?"

"Indeed, they are. Are you ready to find out if babies are in your future?"

"I guess."

Opening the envelope, I watched Nurse Joy's face to try to determine what she was reading. I was surprised by just how important this actually was to me. I hadn't been expecting to feel so anxious about my test results. Thankfully she didn't keep me waiting as I didn't know how much more suspense I could take.

"Yes, it's just as I thought. Congratulations Grace, you're going to be a mother."

Despite all the anxiety that I'd been feeling leading up to this moment, I actually felt excited about being a mother.

"Alright, so let's get you back up on the exam table and I'll call them the lab and have your iCherry brought in and then once you're wired up you can go and meet your new mate."

"He's here now?"

"He is. I told you we've really streamlined this whole process since your parents came through these doors."

While I positioned myself back in the stirrups, Nurse Joy picked up the phone and seconds later the same G-Man from earlier walked in carrying the box containing my iCherry. But there was one thing different about this box. Instead of being black, this one was red, just like the folder I wasn't allowed to see.

I was about to ask about the colour of the box when I noticed the G-Man taking up a position right behind Nurse Joy, leaving me fully exposed.

"Uh, does he really need to be here?"

"He does dear. He's here to make sure that your iCherry isn't tampered with prior to being implanted. Now you may feel a slight burning sensation, but that will only last a moment while your iCherry bonds itself. After that there will be a slight settling sensation when you stand up, but this too will quickly go away. All of this is completely harmless and won't have any affect on your ability to conceive. We've yet to have an issue associated to this little device."

Feeling humiliated, I was glad that Nurse Joy made quick work of the whole ordeal. The process was completed with a small tool that looked a lot like one used to insert a yeast infection pill. When it was all over, I was granted a small bit of modesty when I was left alone to change back in to my own clothes. Afterwards Nurse Joy wished me good luck and informed me that the G-Man would be escorting me to what they called the matchmaker wing where my new mate was waiting for me.

The matchmaker wing turned out to be a long hallway filled with small rooms and I couldn't help but notice that all but one of these rooms were open and empty. Once more my thoughts turned to Alex and the possibility that we were the one out of five twins who didn't test the same as their sibling. As I placed my hand on the door knob and saw the ring Alex had given me this morning and I said a silent prayer that Alex had already met his mate and was simply waiting for me to meet mine before I opened the door.

"Grace?"

Sitting on a small couch, clearly designed to encourage closeness between new couples was Alex, looking completely shocked by my presence. I couldn't blame him obviously I was equally shocked. There was something incredibly wrong here but as the door closed behind me, I realized that my escort was paying no attention to who was in the room with me.

"Alex! What are you doing here?"

"Waiting to meet my new mate. What are you doing here?"

"Same as you."

"This must be some sort of mistake. They must have gotten the rooms mixed up." Alex was standing now and getting rather loud which made me worry about the G-Man standing just outside the closed door.

"Alex, I don't know how to put this but I think I'm it. All the other rooms are empty, there's nobody else here." I was trying to get Alex to relax but he was really getting himself worked up and I started to worry about him getting arrested. But I couldn't get him to focus on me so I had to take drastic measures. In such a confined space I couldn't get much behind it but I managed to get enough of a swing behind my hand to get his attention. I felt terrible about hurting him as the sound seemed louder than expected in such a small room, but it had been necessary.

"Ow! What did you do that for?" Alex replied in shock, his hand moving to the spot on his cheek where I had slapped him.

"Sit down." Like a dog given a command, Alex sat down on the small couch and I squeezed in next to him. Holding my hand up in front of his face, I made sure he was looking directly at the ring.

"What is this?"

"A promise ring"

"And who gave me this ring?"

"I did."

"And what promise did you make to me when you gave me this ring?"

"That I would always be there for you."

"Now do you think you would be fulfilling that promise by freaking out and getting yourself arrested?"

"No." Alex began to realize what I was getting at and couldn't seem to look me in the eye anymore. Placing my hand under his chin, I lifted his head until we made eye contact again and I could only hope he could see the love in my eyes.

"I'm freaking out about this too Alex, but we have to keep it to ourselves. There is clearly something going on here that neither of us is aware of yet. The last thing we need to do right now is go and get ourselves arrested. We need to be on the same page here if we're going to figure this out." Alex took a moment, closed his eyes and seemed to clear his head before opening his eyes once more. When I looked in to his eyes again, I could see the focus and determination I needed from him in them.

"So, what do we do?"

"I don't know, did you notice anything strange during your exam? Like a red folder or box?"

"No box, but there was a red folder that was dropped off during my physical. I tried to get a look at it but all I saw was my name before the nurse covered it up."

"Well that was more than I saw. They sure were secretive about it though."

"So, what do we do now?"

"I don't know, but first I think we need to get out of here. For the time being let's just play along, okay? Right now, they have home field advantage and it won't take much for them to lock us both up. Once we're out of here we can start trying to get some answers"

At that moment and before Alex could respond the door opened and a different official walked in to the room. Behind him I could see another nurse who I didn't recognize, but she stayed outside the room as the door was again closed. But that was no surprise, there was barely enough room for the three of us.

"Well this is a wonderful sight, I'm so glad you two are already bonding. I'm Special Agent Jay West and I'll be handling your file as long as you are raising any children under the age of eighteen."

"How soon until we can get out of here?" Alex asked rather impatiently. We were still holding hands from earlier and I felt Alex give mine a gentle squeeze which I quickly returned, reassuring him that we were doing the right thing.

"Soon. We just have to get some paperwork taken care of first. Now I know you've both been asked this but I'm required to ask again. Are you both still willing to participate in the G.H.O. fertility program?"

"Yes." I answered immediately, but Alex hesitated. He hesitated so long that I feared he was about to say no.

"Yes, of course." I didn't realize I'd been holding my breath until I exhaled as Alex gave his response. But hearing him say yes was a great relief.

"Wonderful, wonderful. Now if you'll both just sign here acknowledging your consent, we can get things moving here."

Alex and I both signed the forms and were each given a copy for our own records. Had we just lost any chance of getting out of this situation without any issues? The thought did cross my mind as I put my name to paper, surely there was no way this could hold up in court once it was revealed we were brother and sister.

"So, when does the government start paying for all our stuff?" Alex asked.

"As soon as conception can be confirmed. But hang on to any bills that you may incur up to that point and you can file them for reimbursement at that time as well. Now you two both understand how this works right? You have forty-eight hours to initialize a sexual encounter in which Alex must climax inside of you Grace. From that point you'll have a period of two years to conceive your first child together. Failure to meet either of these two requirements may result in imprisonment."

"What if despite all efforts we are unable to conceive a child in those first two years?" Alex asked. I wasn't sure why he was asking since that wasn't going to be something we would have to worry about, but it seemed like a natural question to ask and perhaps Alex was just playing the role.

"Well that is highly unlikely, we've never had that happen before. But if for some reason that does happen, or your iCherry malfunctions Grace there are other tests we can administer in order to confirm your efforts at procreation."

"Okay." Alex said, speaking for both of us.

After more forms were signed and questions were answered, Special Agent Jay West knocked on the door and the nurse from earlier stepped in to the room pushing a small metal cart. On the cart was a red box just like the one my iCherry had come in. I could tell from the way Alex reacted that he'd spotted it as well. His whole body momentarily stiffened and in the corner of my eye I saw him glance in my direction.

"What's with the red box? I've already been wired up here." I asked.

"Oh, that's just a shot for Alex to help in the initial mating process. So, Alex if you'll go see Nurse Vance, I'll get Grace activated here and you two can get out of here."

While Alex went over to Nurse Vance, I stood up in front of Agent West. He then proceeded to wave a wand similar to a metal detector over my pelvis, I could swear I heard an actual beep come from inside me but soon realised it was the wand Special Agent West was holding. When one last form was signed acknowledging when our time began, and when it ended, Alex and I were finally permitted to leave.

Neither of us spoke from that point on, but I wasn't worried as Alex reached out and took hold of my hand as we walked to the car. It wasn't until we were parked out front of our house that either of us said anything with Alex raising a very important issue.

"What do we tell Mom and Dad? We can't possibly tell them that we've been paired with each other."

"I think our best bet is to play it as close to the truth as possible, only leaving out the fact that we've been paired with each other." I replied, the problem of our parents not occurring to me at all up until now.

"Good idea."

"Shall we head inside then? You know they're in there waiting for us."

"Yeah, let's go. I'm actually surprised that they haven't come out to welcome us home yet."

Together Alex and I got out of the car and walked to the front door. But before we stepped inside, Alex held me back and looked me in the eyes.

"Grace I know this is a really screwed up situation but I want you to know that if we can't figure this out and we have to have sex with each other in order to keep from getting arrested, there isn't another person I'd rather have to sleep with than you."

"That's very sweet Alex, but we are going to figure this out and we won't have to have sex with each other."

"Of course. I'm just saying you can count on me to do whatever is necessary."

"I know." Those simple words coming from my brother was the most reassuring thing he could have said at that moment. With him by my side I knew that we would get through this.

Inside the house we found our parents sitting at the kitchen table. After greeting us with hugs, Mom asked the question that we knew was coming.

"So, are we going to get to be grandparents?"

"Yes, twice in fact. As it turns out in cases of multiples four out of five times the siblings will test the same. Grace and I are both going to be parents. We've already met our partners as well."

"That's wonderful news." Mom exclaimed before both of our parents embraced us once again.

Finally sitting down with our parents, we answered all their questions as best we could without revealing who are real mates are. It was a difficult conversation and we both had to be very careful not to reveal any details that would expose our secret. It was also difficult because Alex and I could no longer hold hands and not having that physical connection to Alex was beginning to affect me in an unexpected way.

"So, Grace, is he good looking?" Our mother asked.

Suddenly feeling everyone's eyes on me I knew I had to be very careful about how I answered this one. One wrong answer and I could reveal Alex as my mate. I also knew that Alex was watching me and I was sure he was very interested to see how I would respond.

"I would have to say that he is very handsome. But what really draws me to him is how caring he is, even from the limited time that we had together today. I can tell that he's going to be a wonderful father to our children when that time comes." I was careful not to look too directly at Alex, but I could see him smiling in the corner of my eye.

"And what about you Alex? Is she a beautiful young woman?"

Now it was my turn to put my attention on Alex and see just how he responded. He seemed very confident however, perhaps too confident as he never took his eyes off me as he spoke.

"She is very beautiful of course, but what I love the most about her is her eyes. She has a great depth behind them and I could get lost staring into her eyes."

I couldn't believe the words out of Alex's mouth, I had no idea he could be such a romantic, this was well beyond the tender side of him I was familiar with. I could feel my cheeks turning red and I only hoped that our parents didn't notice me blushing or it was going to raise some very unwanted questions. Thankfully Mom was practically weeping with joy and Dad was smiling with pride at both of us.

"Well I hope you two know how to reach them as your mother and I have booked you both in at a hotel so that you don't have to worry about us overhearing you as you take care of your initial responsibilities. So, go call your new partners and change quickly, the clock is ticking."

Discovering that Mom had planned ahead for us was a great relief. I knew they had no way of knowing just what kind of gift they had given us but not having them around was going to make things a lot easier for us. Alex and I would be able to speak openly with each other about everything as we tried to figure this whole mess out. Leaving the kitchen, I waited until we were out of earshot at the top of the stairs before I stopped to say something to Alex.

"You were laying it on rather thick there don't you think?"

"Well they bought it didn't they? That was the goal wasn't it?"

"I know. But sometimes over doing it can be just as bad."

"I meant every word of it though."

I didn't know what to say in response, I was surprised that Alex had actual intention behind his words and wasn't simply playing it up for the sake of our parents. I was stuck at the top of the stairs gaping at him in shock. Thankfully Alex changed the subject and gave me an out.

"You should wear that green dress of yours that you never seem to wear. I know you don't like it but you look amazing in that dress."

Once again Alex shocked me with such sweet words. This was completely unlike him. Although he has always been very sweet to me, I'd never experienced anything like this before.

"We'll see. By the way, if you really want to know, I wouldn't wear that cologne Dad gave you for your birthday last year. It doesn't smell as good as you think."

On that note and with a hug that I greatly needed, Alex and I separated and went in to our respective bedrooms. I managed to get in to the shower first and spent a little more time than usual cleaning myself up and making myself look good. I didn't understand why I was doing this, but I somehow felt it was necessary. When I was finished, I knocked on the door to Alex's side to let him know the shower was open.

Back in my room I took a moment and stood naked in front of my mirror. I had always taken good care of myself and stayed in good physical shape but I tried to picture myself with a big round belly, pregnant with Alex's child. The thought sent a shiver down my spine. Could I really be considering sleeping with my brother? Having his children? It certainly wouldn't be the worst thing. Alex was a wonderful and caring person and any woman would be lucky to have him, why it had to be me though I didn't know.

Out of the blue I heard my phone ring and I walked naked across the room to answer it. The call display said it was Alex and I wondered why he would be calling me.

"Hello Alex."

"Hi Grace, I just wanted to call to let you know that my parents have booked us in to a hotel room for the next two nights so that we can take care of our initial responsibilities without them around."

"Alex, what are you doing? You're supposed to be getting ready."

"I'm just doing what I was told to do."

"Very funny. Now quit wasting time and get changed."

"Okay, I'll see you downstairs then."

"Okay."

As I disconnected the call, I couldn't help but smile. It was no surprise that Alex would be able to find humour in such a stressful situation. We always seemed to know just how to make each other laugh even in the darkest of moments. But it had been just what I needed and it made me feel much better about everything that was happening to us.

In the end I decided to wear the green dress that Alex seemed to like so much. The reason why I didn't wear it was because it showed off a lot of leg and a lot cleavage, more than I was comfortable with. When I finally presented myself, I was at the top of the stairs when I found everyone was waiting for me at the bottom. Alex was there dressed sharply in pressed slacks, a collared shirt under a leather jacket and he had my jacket folded over his arm. What gave me pause however was the lump in my brother's pants. I didn't know if he could tell that I'd noticed but it was quite clear that Alex was fully erect. Could I have caused his current state of arousal by wearing the dress he liked so much?

At the bottom of the stairs Alex held out my jacket and helped me slip in to it. He had a smile on his face as we stood there together with our parents giving us a once over. It felt very ceremonial and official, like our parents were about to officially announce our arrival into adulthood to the rest of the world.

"Alright you two, stand together so that we can get one last picture of you before you go out in to the world and become adults." Dad said once Mom had finished fussing over us.

Alex and I stood arm in arm and smiled while our father took our picture.

"Alright, off you go. We've already packed everything you'll need and put it in the car. Now go out, have sex, and don't come back until your pregnant." Our father said as we hugged them both goodbye. It felt strange walking out the door, knowing that the next time we crossed over its threshold our lives will have changed drastically.
