OUR NEW NORMAL - CHAPTER 11 -- Graduation And CHAPTER 12 -- Rules

By Slowhaands (copyright 2025)

Thanks to all that have read this. I especially appreciate those who have graded my stories and those who have commented. All comments, suggestions, and criticisms are greatly appreciated, and I hope that I am learning from your responses to help me become a better writer.

As I was mapping out some upcoming story lines it became clear I needed to revise Chapters 11 and 12. I need to introduce Lois and Clark's parents who would be attending Hermione's High School Graduation, laying the groundwork for later stories that will include Ron and Hermione's Grandparents. I am posting this as a replacement for the existing post for Chapters 11 and 12. I will leave the existing Chapters 11 and 12 on the site labeled as the Original, but remove them from the series. So, if you have already read the original Chapters 11 and 12, please understand that this revision was needed to support future chapters so I can continue with chapters 13 and 14 and further submissions for your reading pleasure.

It has taken much longer to get this republished than I expected and I apologize to all my readers for the delays. The next two chapters should drop in about 2 weeks.

With more to follow. I have at least two more installments in the works as that I hope you will all enjoy as well.

Thanks

And on with Chapters 11 and 12.

Chapter 11 -- Graduation week.

Hermione's graduation week was here. Our grandparents were arriving on Monday, the graduation itself is on Friday, and then they head home on Saturday.

Mom's parents (Rubin and Helen Schwartz) lived in Northern California. They had been married for 35 years and were still very much in love. Grandpa Rubin was the President of a small private bank in Napa that was heavily involved in the vineyards that region was so famous for. Granny Helen was a Registered Nurse in a Free Clinic that served many of the low paid vineyard workers.

Dad's parents (Joyce and Alfonse Philips) lived on the opposite side of the country. Papaw Philips was a big chicken rancher in South Carolina. He raised hundreds of thousands of chickens every year on the same land that his father had raised chickens on forty years earlier. Mamaw Joyce taught high school Math and Science for 25 years before becoming the principal of the same school that both she and her future husband attended. They had been happily married for 40 years.

Over the years, our grandparents have become good friends. They had gone cross country to vacation at each other's home, and they had taken trips together a couple of times over the years. They all got along very well with their in-laws and both our parents commented on the fact that there were no tensions between the families. So, no barbed jokes about the dreaded Mothers in Law.

Mom and Dad were taking his SUV to pick their parents up. Their flights were supposed to arrive about an hour apart. After picking up all their checked bags at baggage claim, Dad took them to their their hotel chatting and laughing and catching up. As they had on previous visits, they had connecting suites at one of the nicer suites hotels close to our house and had a rental car waiting for them at the hotel. Mom and Dad dropped them and their luggage off at their hotel. Their parents were going to get unpacked and change into comfortable clothes and then bring their suits to our house for a welcoming BBQ around the pool.

Our parents got home from the airport and we all dressed for the pool party, which was, by itself, a bit uncomfortable since we were almost never dressed at home. Gloria arrived soon after and got changed before helping Mom in prepping the sides and condiments for the steaks, shrimp, and chicken that Dad and I were prepping for the grill. The grands got in from their hotel about an hour later. Hermione and I happily fully greeted them at the door with hugs and kisses. I introduced them to Gloria. They seemed to immediately hit it off with affectionate hugs and cheek kisses. They had all been here like this over the years, most recently for my high school graduation 3 years ago, and we were all comfortable with each other. They quickly changed into swimsuits and joined us around the pool. Mom's parents gave us 4 bottles of some of the finest wines out of the Napa and Sonoma valleys. Wines that were certainly out of my league though I knew Mom and her mothers would truly enjoy those great wines. Grandpa Alfonse brought out a bottle of Willetts Bourbon and gave it to dad. I had tasted it before and really loved it.

Dad and I had the grill fired up and Mom was laying out the sides and condiments. The women, including Hermione, had wine. Dad had already brought up some fine whiskeys and started by opening the Willetts and pouring generous shots for this fathers and I. It tasted as wonderful as I remembered. Dad and I returned to our duties on the grill. Dad was good at putting the three different meats on the grill at the right time so that they all came off the grill together. I was learning, but he was still the master. For the first time, I found myself noticing how hot my grandmother's both were. That was not something that would have occurred to me before we became incestuous nudists. Hermione told me later that she couldn't help but notice how good looking her grandfathers were. Both Hermione and I were wondering how our grandparents might look naked. LaTonya arrived a little later. She had met our grandparents a couple of times over the years, so our grandparents knew that LaTonya and Hermione were best friends. I don't know if our grandparents knew that LaTonya and Hermione were lovers, but it was clear they weren't trying to hide it. LaTonya whispered in my ear that all of my grandparents were kind of hot.

Dinner was great. Everything came off the grill perfectly done and Mom and Hermione knew how to make perfect baked potatoes, Ceasar Salad, corn on the cob and other tasty treats finished off with Cherry Pie and a New York style cheesecake.

At some point, I was by the grill when Papaw Philips came up and put his arm around me. He had a twinkle in his eye as he looked out over the pool deck and then hit me with a question I was not prepared for. "Have you noticed that none of those beautiful women have tan lines?"

"I hadn't made any note of it, but it is certainly true. And that seems to include both of my grandmothers.

"Yes, it does," He replied.

"Since none of our neighbors can see into the yard we might not always be dressed when relaxing around the pool."

"That would seem to include your Gloria and LaTonya as well."

"Yes," I said with a chuckle. "They would be included in that."

After that, I was thankful that we weren't all naked. That would have made it impossible to avoid getting hard, especially since I had already made love with four of those women.

It was going to be an interesting week.

We spent the next few hours relaxing in and out of the pool. Enjoying wonderful drinks and some after dinner snacks, just catching up and looking forward to our week. Of course, Hermione got asked a ton of questions about where she was going go for school and what her plans looked like, Buy this time she knew that she had secured her scholarship to Purdue and that LaTonya had her scholarship as well and that news let to plenty of hugs and kisses in congratulation.

By 10 o'clock or so, which was 11 for Dad's parents, the grands decided to head back to their hotel suites to recover from the travel day and the time changes. After a round of goodbyes that had everybody hugging and kissing everyone else that and probably 30 minutes, they got in their car and headed back to their hotel.

Tuesday, the grandmothers insisted on taking Hermione and LaTonya out shopping. They were always generous at Christmas and on Birthdays and had often sent gifts to LaTonya as well. For Graduation, they wanted to splurge. They got Hermione a ridiculously expensive designer purse (they called it a handbag) from a company called Coach. They also got a smaller bag from the same company for LaTonya showing their understanding of how important LaTonya was to their granddaughter. They came back home after 4 hours of hitting all the best stores in town. Hermione was thrilled, probably about like I would be if they bought me a bottle of Pappy's or a really old Dalwhinnie. They got home about 3 and we all insisted on a fashion show. Hermione and LaTonya were thrilled to show off their new treasures (except for the lingerie since the men were enjoying show as well). I presumed they would show the lingerie to Mom separately. And Dad and I knew we would get to see the hidden treasures after the Grands had headed back to their homes on Saturday.

Mom's parents had made reservations at one of the best restaurants in town for all of, including LaTonya's parents, Stephen and Juanita Brown, in another expression of their gratitude for LaTonya's love and support for their granddaughter and including Gloria since they could tell how close she and I had become in just a few months. So about six, the ladies all came out of their rooms, dressed to impress (and arouse.) LaTonya and Hermione were wearing the very sexy cocktail dresses that they had just gotten that afternoon. And they were both carrying their new Coach bags. We showed up as scheduled and were quickly escorted to a private dining room with two dedicated servers. It was one of the most amazing meals I have ever had. I had Roasted Garlic as an appetizer. Then Beef Wellington with mashed potatoes and asparagus sauteed in Lemon, Balsamic Vinegar, and Garlic. Everybody had equally magnificent meals. The setting was perfect, and the desserts (including Vanilla Bean Cheesecake) were all amazing.

And with all the love and bantering, I had to notice that my mother and my grandmothers were wearing more revealing clothes than I remembered them wearing in the past. With our new lifestyle, I was used to seeing my mother in the nude, so I hadn't had the opportunity to see her dressed to impress and arouse. I may have been more attuned to their attire because of how openly we lived our lives when we were not visiting. Mom and both grandmothers were all wearing relatively short dresses and sexy tights with tops that displayed generous amounts of cleavage. Though not as blatantly sexy as my mom and grandmothers, even LaTonya's mom was flaunting her fabulous ass and luscious breasts. Had she always been dressing like this before and I just hadn't noticed??

While I was trying to figure what to think about how beautiful and sexy all these women were, they had all decided to head to a club for some drinking and dancing. I am still trying to process what it felt like to be dancing, let alone slow dancing, with one of my grandmothers. I was successful in not getting a hardon while dancing with either grandmother, but it didn't stop my mind from thinking what would usually be forbidden. I must admit that I very much enjoyed feeling Joyce's bra covered breasts against my chest as we shared a slow song while dancing together. We all called it a night about 11 and headed to our homes/hotels. The Brown's had ridden with Mom and Dad and the girls had ridden with me. I headed home while Dad dropped the Browns off at their home before coming home. We all got naked and found ways to express our love and lust for each other. In the end we all ended up in our beds with our partner/lover/BFF. It would be hard to explain to any of the grands what was going on if they found Hermione in my bed while Gloria and LaTonya were in Hermione's. Which is not to say that I didn't get to spend some time with Mom and LaTonya, just that I ended up in my own bed with the owner of my heart.

I woke up Wednesday morning to find Gloria lying next to me just watching me sleep. "Good morning my love, seeing your smile when I wake up is the best thing that I can imagine waking up to. I hope you slept well!"

She leaned in, kissed me gently on the lips and said "Yes, I did. I wasn't sure we were going to get any alone time with your grandparents here for the graduation."

"I was worried about that as well, but it looks like it's going to work out. Yes it does. I guess we should probably get our shower so we are out before they get here, especially since LaTonya and Hermione will need their shower as well."

"So, no time for nookie this morning?"

"I would love that as well, but we should get going."

"Kill Joy!!!" she said as she got out of bed. We headed to the shower. I could hear someone, probably Mom, working in the kitchen. Though we did get some play time, we were still out of the shower pretty quickly. As we came out, Hermione and LaTonya were just waiting for us to finish so they could get their shower. Gloria and I got dressed and headed down to join Mom in the kitchen.

"Morning Mom! Last night was fabulous. I love having your parents around. It is so cool that there isn't, any conflict or jealousy between in-laws.

"Yeah, we are very lucky in that. We all know families that have issues with the In-Laws. I am glad we don't. Real quick. Can you go make sure your sister and LaTonya come out dressed? Your grandparents should be here in about 20 minutes."

"OK Mom." I went to the bathroom to let Hermione and LaTonya know when to expect the grands. I headed back down to the kitchen to talk to Mom. "Mom, something happened yesterday that I wanted to let you know about. Yesterday, at the BBQ, Papaw Philips commented to me that none of the women around the pool had any tan lines. I agreed with him and added that that included both my grandmothers as well, and he agreed with that. I wasn't sure if he was upset or angry or just fishing. I tried to minimize it by saying that, since no one could see into our pool yard from outside, sometimes we weren't always careful about the way we dressed. He didn't ask anything else or even really react to what I said. It was kind of weird. What does he, or any of our other grandparents, know about our lifestyle now."

"Well, our lifestyle has certainly changed since going nudist and especially since you brought Gloria home. I guess that they would not be surprised if they found out we were nudists. Over the years they have been pretty casual about seeing and being seen naked on various visits. Nothing overly sexual, but still comfortable with seeing and being seen not fully dressed. They never knew about our nudism before Hermione was born, but I don't think they would have been surprised or upset about it if they knew. They might even join as long as we are here. But I don't want to risk them knowing that we have crossed the lines we have crossed. I have no clue how they would react."

"That's pretty much what I thought. I just wanted to let you, and dad know what Papaw said."

"Yeah, thanks for letting me know. I will get your father alone and talk about it. I don't think you need to worry about it very much. Let me or your dad know if you hear or get asked anything else. There is no need to tell anyone else."

"OK mom. So far, this visit has been amazing. What are we doing today? Yesterday will be hard to beat."

"They have made some hints about today and what they might want to do, but so far, I really have no clue. Just going to play it by ear."

About that time, LaTonya and Hermione came out of the bathroom and headed back to Hermione's room to get dressed. A few minutes later the grands arrived, and we started discussing what we were going to do with another beautiful day.

Dad asked "So what are we doing today. Since we were all together to celebrate my beautiful daughter and her BFF's graduation, I asked them to think about what they would like to do. So, what would you two beautiful, amazing, brilliant ladies like to do today?"

LaTonya responded for them, "Thanks for putting us on the spot. Fortunately, we both had the same idea. A tourist day. Breakfast at some local pancake house, then go to the zoo then to lunch in some good burger joint and then maybe to the museum and then a nice Chinese place for dinner then come home to collapse around the pool."

Everybody seemed to like the idea. We were all pretty much dressed for a tourist day and the weather was supposed to be beautiful, so it wasn't long before we were all loaded into Dad's car and the Grand's rental and headed for the zoo. For years while we were growing up, we had gone to the zoo at least once a year, so we already had a family membership that included 2 guest passes.

It was a perfect day for the zoo. Partly cloudy and warm without getting baked. They had expanded the lions enclosure to start a pride. They had brought in three fertile females. Which meant that they would have to ship out two of our three males, otherwise the males would kill each other fighting over the females. Watching them fighting and grooming and sleeping was fascinating for a while. Then we moved on. The ten of us browsed the zoo for about 4 hours, and it was time for lunch. We decided on a smashburger place a few miles away. The joint was busy so we were lucky to find two tables that we could push together. so we could all sit together. Their music selection was interesting. Tricia Yearwood followed by Jethro Tull then a bluegrass song I didn't recognize. It was a great lunch, all of us just chatting and telling jokes and simply relaxing in the day. It took a while for us to finish, too much laughing and not enough eating. It was 3 by time we were all finally done. Hermione said we should skip the museum and just head back home. We had done enough walking for the day. We could order Chinese delivery later. That made sense to everyone, so we loaded into the cars and headed home.

Between bathroom breaks and getting changed we were soon all out around the pool in our suites when Mamaw Joyce changed the rules. She had a quick discussion with Granny Helen and then they both went to talk to Mom. They were whispering all mysterious like. Then Mom laughed and stripped off her bikini top. That got attention from all of us. "My moms tell me that they normally go topless around their pools. I told them that we are normally nude around ours. We agreed to start with topless and see how that feels."

Hermione and LaToyna both cheered as they shed their tops, Gloria just grinned and joined the other ladies in being topless. Granny Helen quickly stripped off her top and said, "Ahhhh, that feels better!! Then she looked at Mom and asked, "So are you all usually nude around the pool?"

"Well, actually we are all normally nude anytime we are home, unless we have company that isn't comfortable with it."

"Granny Helen laughed, we aren't normally nude in the house, but we have gone nude around the pool sometimes. Does anybody object if I drop my bottoms as well?"

Mom laughed again, "I am sure none of us will object. I was hoping that our secret would get out so we could go back to being nudists."

"Great! Granny Helen said as she untied the strings on her bikini bottoms and let them fall to the deck. It didn't expose much that we hadn't already seen, but still it took a couple of seconds to adjust to seeing my grandmother's fully naked. Helen was almost fully shaved, like Mom and the girls. And then Grandma Joyce stripped off as well.

Granny Helen kept things moving. Come on guys, we are showing it all, it's time for you to drop yours and share the wealth." It only took a few seconds for everybody to be nude.

Granny Helen asked, "How long have you been nudists?"

Dad responded, "This time, since Hermione turned 18 earlier this year. We started my second year at university and continued until Ron was about 4 and Hermione was 2. We didn't want our kids to have to deal with us doing things so uncommon. Kids can be cruel, even brutal about that kind of thing. So, we went back to a textile lifestyle. We did take some trips to nudist resorts over the years and missed it so we decided that we would try to return to the lifestyle when Hermione turned 18 and the kids could decide for themselves if they wanted to join us. I guess I am not surprised that you 4 are nudists, you always seemed casual about nudity around the house growing, not that I ever saw you having sex, but I did hear you. And, more than once, you might have been pretty lax about closing your bedroom or bathroom doors, so I saw each of you naked at one time or another."
