----- Still growing

In case you were wondering we were keeping track of Julie's growth pretty closely lately. Still getting bigger, but slowing down.

It was impossible for me to stand on the chair to measure her -- I had to resort to using the step ladder. And because Julie was naked during these measuring sessions I had to be naked too. Those steps hurt my feet.

How high? 6'11"! Almost seven feet now. However, there was bad news: I had lost another full inch -- I was now 4'6".

I could gaze admiringly right into that washboard stomach of hers while standing. Her belly button is over my head when she wears her 6" heels, which she does when she wants to "play"; that's nearly a three foot difference.

She loves standing right next to me and saying "Now where did my little man go? Oh, there he is. Trying to hide under my boobs again, huh?", She can't wait until she's tall enough that I can go "down" on her standing "up". I'm afraid that time may not be too far away.

But it's getting ridiculous. We can't hold a normal conversation standing -- our necks would break. To remedy this Julie spends a lot of time on her knees at home. It is much easier for us to converse this way. I still have to look up to see her eyes and she can reach things in the shelves that I can't, even on her knees. I guess longer arms help. But at least, it makes hugging fun again, rather than trying to fit my arms around Julie's hips with my head in her stomach and hardly being able to reach high enough to touch her tits.

What with her knee problems and all the kneeling at home, we were welcoming the doctor visits. She had been working over a month at her new full time job as a human relations representative and her health care just kicked in. The doctor's appointment was scheduled for Thursday next week.

I couldn't get an appointment on the same day for me but did succeed in getting it for the day after: Friday. And as it worked out, we would have a whole weekend to contemplate the results.

All in all, things were going pretty good with the new job and everything but Julie was getting frustrated a lot. I guess when your perspective of the whole world changes in such a short time it becomes hard to adjust. She'd would run into things and hurt herself and trip over her feet. Even when we went running she would stumble, especially in the woods. This was terrible as we both loved running in the woods. It almost made her change her route.

People at work were generally intimated by her size, yet when she spoke, people listened. When I spoke, I wasn't taken seriously.

She had made casual friends at work; most didn't talk to her much. However, there were a select few who took the time to talk to her, got to know her and became good friends. I was looking forward to meeting them. I hadn't met anyone from Greg's gravel; I suppose we were both just too busy with our lives. Julie can't wait for the company picnic -- says she wants to show me off. Right. She probably wants to show off our height difference.

There is some bad news that has me worried, however: sometimes she would get so mad she would break things. In her defense, I don't think she had realized how strong she had become. So, on the whole things were good; Julie just needs time to get used to her new stature in life.


----- Wednesday

I had just come back from the office at about 2:00 with time to kill before Julie came home. I went to the gym and had a nice workout then went for a two mile run. I was getting out of the shower when Julie walked in, ducking to get through the front door. That's without her heels too.

Julie didn't wear too many clothes at home anymore since she had so few that fit and wanted to save them to wear to work. So when she got home she went to the bedroom to change. She came out in bra and panties. I love gazing at all that skin: bare shoulders, flat stomach, and miles and miles of legs. Did I mention Julie has great legs?

"So, how was your day?", she said.

"Good. Yours?"

"It was ok.", she said. "Mom called me today."

"That's good. How is she?"

"Fine. She said hello. She's going away this weekend."

"Oh. Where?"

"My Uncle is in hospice care now and Mom is going to spend the weekend with my Aunt."

"I'm sorry to hear that. I hope everything turns out ok. Is there anything we can do for her?", I said.

"Well, she also asked a favor."

"Anything. What?"

"She wants us to take Jill this weekend."

"What did you tell her?"

"I told her I'd ask you."

"Thanks for asking. I guess it's alright then." I enjoyed talking to Jill. I'd been talking to her a lot lately, more than Julie had. I was still a little apprehensive of her spending the weekend based on what happened last time she was here though.

"But, isn't Jill old enough to stay home by herself?", I asked.

"She's only 17; she won't be 18 until November. I suppose she could stay home but it's the whole weekend and she doesn't have a car. Mom only asked us to check in on her and I suggested Jill come spend the time with us."

I was getting that feeling that I was going to regret what might happen.

"Don't worry. Nothing bad will happen.", she said. Famous last words, huh?

"We shall see.", I thought.

Sex was really energetic that night. We started standing, her in heels and head nearly touching the ceiling. I bent a little and gave Julie head. It drove her wild. Went she was satisfied she picked me up for a kiss, my head this time nearly hitting the ceiling.

Then she turned me upside down with my face in her tits and it was my turn to receive. It was pretty special that night. Perhaps Julie really was scheming and anticipating Jill's stay. I know I was thinking of it.


----- That Friday with Jill

Finally Friday came and Mom had dropped Jill off that night. We watched a movie on TV eating popcorn. Jill was amazed at the size of her sister now. When kneeling Julie was almost as tall as Jill.

Since we still didn't have too many clothes that fit Julie, she only wore panties and a way too small sports bra that was straining to keep the puppies confined again. Jill didn't seem too comfortable with this, but didn't complain.


----- That Saturday with Jill

It was only an hour or so after we woke the next morning that Julie's phone rang: it was work. They needed someone to drop off a signed form to a client in the next town over. They couldn't contact the guy who usually did the courier work so they asked Julie to do it. I guess being the new gal, you had to pay your dues. They would pay her extra and she really wanted the money.

I asked Julie if she wanted Jill and I to come with her.

"No.", she said. "It's boring. Besides, you and Jill can have your alone time and talk." I wondered what she meant by that.

I would honestly welcome spending time with Jill. Julie knew of our talks. With Julie being gone about two hours or so, we should have plenty of time for a talk too.

Julie got ready and was heading out the door when she asked, "Do you mind if I take the bimmer?"

"Sure, go ahead.", I said. "The keys are in the kitchen hanging in the usual place."

"Thanks. I'll see you two in a couple of hours."

"Ciao. Have a safe trip.", I said.

Jill and I retired to the deck. It was the middle of July and was hot and muggy. It was also overcast that day but that only seemed to kill the breeze and it make extra muggy. Jill and I were talking about nothing in particular when I noticed her having trouble breathing.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah. But I think my asthma is kicking up.", she said.

"Do you have an inhaler or something?"

"Yeah, I left it at home."

"You left your inhaler at home? That's not good."

"I forgot."

"You don't sound so good either. We'll need to go home and grab it." Thankfully, it wasn't too far.

"Always looking out for your little sister.", she giggled."Let's go then."

I grabbed the pickup keys and we went out to the garage.

"Hey, nice gym.", she said as I opened the garage door.

"Uh yeah.", I said. I never really thought of it as all that great. But I was proud of it.

"Julie really likes it.", I said. I didn't realize that Jill had never seen it before.

"She works out a lot huh?", Jill asked.

"Sure does. Hop in, let's go." I didn't want to wait too long. The ride in the truck wasn't going to be easy -- it has no air conditioning.

Now Julie had been suffering, I mean driving the pickup for a while so it was no surprise that the seat was all the way back. Even then, she found it cramped and would talk of getting her own car excitedly. "Give it some time. You only just started working full time.", I would say.

I pulled the seat all the way up, like I do in all cars, hopped in and put the seat belt on. I tried to put my foot on the brake to start the pickup but I couldn't reach it. I guess I'd lost a few inches since the last time I drove it -- it was for all intents Julie's car now. I slid down as far as I could in the seat and was just barely able to press the pedal. But then I couldn't see out the window. The pickup has always been big for me, and the BMW seat goes up a lot further, I guess. Damn it.

"Jill, do have your license with you?"

"Yes."

"Do you feel good enough to drive?"

"Sure."

So we switched places and Jill drove to her house. We went inside and she took a couple puffs on her inhaler. Then she packed it up and drove us back home.

"Feeling better?", I said.

"Yeah. Can I see the gym?"

I guess she takes after her big sister. "Sure." I showed her around.

Julie must have bought some new weight plates -- I noticed there were four 45 lb plates (two on each side) as well as two 35 lbs and two 15 pounds on the barbell: a total of 280 lbs. What I keep forgetting was the bar and we bought a new one which weighed 45 pounds, plus add another 10 for the collars. That was 335 lbs of barbell sitting on the bench! Did Julie press that once, or several times? Based on the other times I had seen her I guessed she probably benched several reps. It made my head swim. I'm sure the magnitude was lost on Jill. I'm gonna have to investigate this.

"What's that?", she said while pointing to the inversion table.

At this point it looked a little baroque with all the stuff I rigged to make it sit up higher.

" That's an inversion table."

"Oh, that's the thing Julie talked about. Says that's what made her bigger."

Oh dear.

"Can I try it out?", Jill asked.

"Why not."

I dragged the steps I had bought a while back over to the table so she could get on the correct way. The steps were for me around the house, but it suited its purpose out here better for when I wanted to hang inverted. Obviously, Julie didn't use this.

Jill took her shoes off and climbed up. I gave her the standard briefing. "Prepare for takeoff", I was thinking as she got ready to swing back.

"Aaaa", she screamed as she swept back almost all the way.

"Easy!", I said. "You can't swing your arms back too fast. Here bring your arms back down. Slowly. I'll hold the table so it doesn't crash again. Now bring your arms up again slowly."

She did a couple times and got the hang of it, then she hung there herself for a few minutes.

"Julie's right. This does feel good. Can I come over and use it sometimes. I want get bigger too."

"Sure, you can come over but I've been using this for over a year and I haven't grown."

"I know. You've even shrunk."

She noticed too. I guess the fiasco with the pickup clued her in.

"Just great.", I said. "I guess another giantess in my life won't hurt."

Jill laughed. "Aw, don't feel bad. You know I'll still like you, even if I get as big as Julie."

"Thanks. Do you know how I feel when my girlfriend's kid sister has to drive me around?"

"Not good, huh?"

"No. Not good."

"Julie perks you up, doesn't she?"

"Sure. She's my life now. I don't know what I'd do without her."

"She loves you. I can see it. And I'm still jealous."

"Don't worry, I'm sure someone will come into your life and make you happy forever. You're a super person, Jill."

"Well, I'm happy now since we started talking. You're a good guy too, Sam."

"Aw shucks." Yes, I'm a dork.

I continued, "I was a little worried when we decided to let you stay here this weekend, but I do like talking with you. At least you talk to me and take me seriously unlike, oh say, 99.999 percent of the rest of the people in the world."

"Oh it's not that bad. Are you worried something bad is going to happen?"

"Yes."

"Don't worry. We'll have fun."

"I am worried.", I said. "Did you guys plan the errand that Julie had to run so we could be alone."

"Oh, no. I'm sorry. Am I making you uncomfortable?"

"It's ok. I actually welcome this time we have together. Come on, finish up on that thing. Too much blood to your head will make you go blind."

"It will?"

"No. I'm just kidding.", I laughed.

She got off and we went back to the house.

"Are you going to go back out again?", she asked.

"Yeah, I was thinking about going out on the deck. The sun's out, and I like hot days. Will you be ok?"

"Yes, I should be alright. Can I change and come out too?"

"If you're feeling ok, then sure. I'll meet you out on the deck. I have lemonade and iced tea. Which do you want?"

"Ooo, lemonade sounds good."

So I poured a glass of lemonade for her and iced tea for me, then went out to wait for Jill on the deck.

After a short while she came out wearing her bikini. It was one of those strapless things; a bandeau top, I think it's called. When she saw me looking wide eyed she simply said, "I don't want tan lines where the straps are. It'll show when I wear low tops." And did I mention she had great legs like her sister?

I walked over to hand the glass of lemonade to her. She looked even taller than before. Ah, that's right, I remembered, I lost another inch since I'd seen her last. She was nearly a foot taller now.

Jill went to lie down on the chaise lounge. She needed a place to put her drink so I scootched a little table over. She turned over on her stomach.

"You and Julie have been talking more, right?", I queried.

"A little, maybe."

"Well, I think that's good. Don't you?"

"Sure. I guess I owe you thanks Sam. You got us talking, at least a little."

"You guys didn't talk much before, huh?"

"Well, not in any real way since she was in high school."

"Why?"

"Lot's of things, I guess."

"Ok. Wanna tell me about it?"

"It's about Mom and Dad splitting up. But, I don't know if I want to talk about it, Sam."

"That's ok. Julie doesn't talk much about that either."

Speak of the devil. Just then Julie came home. She noticed us out on the deck.

"Hold on guys, I'll be right out.", Julie yelled from inside.

"Hey, you want some iced tea? I made lemonade too if you'd rather that.", I yelled back.

"Iced tea sounds good." I knew what she wanted even before I asked. We were coming to know each other quite well.

I went inside to pour her a glass. She has a big one that she likes; a pitcher really. Only she put it up on the top of one of the cabinets. I couldn't reach it.

Jill had followed me in. "You want me to get that?", she asked.

"Please."

When she stretched to reach the glass her bandeau top came right up to eye level and I certainly did get an eyeful. Mr. Happy wanted to dance. Down! I had to think of quantum mechanics and solving partial differential equations again.

I filled Julie's glass with ice and tea, then put some water to boil for more. Jill brought the glass out with her.

Julie finally came sauntering out; in her underwear.

"Here's your tea Julie.", Jill said as she got up to walk over to Julie. She looked up at her sister with awe. Her head was way below Julie's shoulders now.

"Thanks.", Julie said then went to sit down at the table. She looks funny nowadays sitting in a normal sized chair with her knees way up.

"So, what'cha talkin' about?"

"We were just talking about your Mom and Dad, Julie."

"No, we weren't!", Jill adamantly denied.

"That's right. We weren't. Seems Jill doesn't want to talk about it."

"I don't blame her.", said Julie.

"Ok, I'm sorry. I can see it's a sore point with both of you.", I said. "Let me ask something though: why did you guys keep your Dad's last name when Mom changed hers back?"

"What was I supposed to change it to?", said Jill.

"Same as your Mom, I would think.", I said.

"Well, I will. As soon as I turn 18.", she said.

"You can change it before then. You just need your Mom's permission.", I passed on.

"I know. I figured I'd just wait until I'm 18 and change it myself. Mom had to pay a lawyer to do that and we didn't want to make it more expensive.", Jill said.

"What about you, Julie?"

"Oh, there'll be a time for changing it soon enough.", she said. I wondered what she meant by that.

Just then I heard the water boil. "Let me go make some more iced tea. I'll be right back."

"I'll help.", Jill said, following me inside.

"I don't need any help. Why did you come in with me?"

"Just in case you couldn't reach something.", she was giggling as she came up close as if to try to measure our relative heights. "And I didn't want to stay out there with the naked amazon."

"Whatever. She's only in her underwear; not much different from you in your bikini. Here fill this pitcher up with ice.", and I gave her pitcher. She actually did reach the ice tray in the freezer a lot easier than I could.

I put tea bags in the water. We let it sit for five minutes while we talked. Jill stayed awfully close.

I noticed that holding the ice close to her chest made Jill's nipples poke out of her top. Mr. Happy noticed too. Get down, boy. I tried to solve the problem of reconciling the standard model of matter arising from quantum field theory with Einstein's general relativistic theory of gravity in my head. I almost succeeded.

"Sorry.", I said. "I shouldn't have brought up the subject of your father."

"It's ok. Maybe it's good we start talking about it.", she said.

The tea was done. I poured it into the pitcher of ice, Jill refilled my glass with ice and I poured myself more tea.

"Want some more lemonade?"

"Sure."

So with both of our glasses refilled we wandered back out. Julie was leaning way back in her chair, face up to the sky, eyes closed and those long beautiful legs splayed way out. Damn, she has a great pair legs!

We found our seats again. Jill started this time.

"Julie. How come you and I never talked about what happened with Dad?"

"I don't want to.", Julie said.

"I wanted to talk but you always turned off when I brought the subject up."

"Yeah, well, that's all you wanted to talk about."

"No, it's not. After a while you wouldn't talk at all."

I could see Jill opening up. It looked painful for the both of them, but I figure this would be for the best.

I did have a hunch so I took a gamble. "Julie,", I said. "This happened right around when we started going out in high school, right?"

"Yeah."

"Did us going out back in high school have anything to do with your parent's splitting up?"

She crossed her arms across her expansive chest, grabbed a boob in each hand, looked away, and said, "No!"

"Ok.", I said.

"Hold on a minute.", Jill was talking now. "I remember that. You hated guys when you started high school Julie. I can understand that, but then you suddenly started talking about this guy you met on the track team and I thought you had gone crazy."

"It was the cross country team, Jill.", Julie corrected.

"Did you really hate all guys, or just the one's like daddy?", Jill replied.

Now, daddy, by the way, was six feet, eight inches tall. I found out from Jill sometime back. Their Mom and Dad must have looked a bit like Julie and me, only our situation was inverted. I didn't think much of it before but now I started thinking: this could explain a lot.

"Yes, I hated all guys back then.", Julie said, scrunching up more.

"But you started going out with me.", I replied.

"Yeah. So I did. Look, I don't want to talk about it.", and she withdrew further into herself, emotionally as well as physically, bringing her knees up to her chest this time.

"I'm sorry I brought it up.", Jill said, eyes starting to tear up.

"Now look, Julie. You're making your sister cry.", I said.

Julie was curled up for while. Then she suddenly put her feet down hard, placed her hands on the arms of the chair, leaned over and said, "Fine! You two want to gang up on me, then ... fine."

"Yes, Sam. I went out with you because you were short. I hated tall guys. I figured you would never cheat on me like Dad because nobody would go out with you at your height. There. Satisfied?"

Ouch. I felt a foot tall at that moment. She changed her tune real quick.

"Shit. Shit. Shit. I'm sorry, Sam.", she said getting up and running over to me to give me a hug on her knees. "I didn't mean that." She picked me up into her arms, standing and hugged me, tight. "I'm so sorry. I didn't know what I was saying. I'm sorry."

My head was spinning. "I can see why you didn't want to talk to me about that. You can put me down now, Julie."

"Wait. Here me out. That's not all Sam. Really. I thought you were the most handsome man I ever met."

"Yeah, right."

"No really. Remember, you were still taller than me back in high school."

"Yeah. The good ole days.", I said, rolling my eyes.

"You were also the sweetest person I ever met."

Just then we both heard Jill sniffling.

"Jill, you're still crying.", I said. "You ok?"

"She started going out with you but then forgot about me.", Jill said, sniffling again.

"Oh, Jill. I was young then too. I didn't mean to ignore you. I had my own problems.", Julie told her.

"Yeah, well, great. You found a guy. I have nobody in my life."

Julie had a pained look on her face.

"Is that why you started being mean to me, Jill?"

"I don't know. Maybe."

"Oh, sweetie. I didn't want to hurt you."

Julie got up and went over to her sister, knelt down then started hugging Jill.

Jill suddenly stopped crying. "Um, Julie?", Jill said, kind of timidly.

"What?"

"You're naked."

That made Julie break away.

"No, I'm not."

"Sorry. It's just that ... maybe you should wear a swimsuit."

"I to topless with a swimsuit. Sorry, tops don't fit anymore.", she said. That got Jill laughing.

Jill started loosening up again. Julie went to sit back down in her chair. I wasn't sure they accomplished much but there's not doubt they were feeling a little better.

"So, um, at the risk of opening up the wounds again, would any of you mind telling me exactly what happened with Mom and Dad?", I said, quickly following up with, "But you don't have to. I'll understand."

"Sam, Dad cheated on Mom.", Julie said.

"Ok. I know that's bad, but people cheat all the time.", I said.

"But when Mom confronted Dad about it, he beat her. Ended up putting her in the hospital.", Jill said.

Then I looked over at Julie. She had a frown on her face.

Julie looked down, "And Shawn used to beat me up too. Not as bad as Dad did. But still."

"Oh.", I wondered. "That must be why you were so quick to come to me way back when, wasn't it?" It was only two or three months but felt like several lifetimes ago.

"Oh, honey. I would have come to you just as quick anyway.", Julie replied.

"Oh my God, Julie. I didn't know Shawn treated you like that.", Jill said.

"And neither does Mom. Let's not tell her, ok? She'd have a shit fit."

We all agreed with Julie on that point.

"Jill, you've been the closest to Mom the last few years, right?", I asked.

"Yeah."

"How's she doing? Really."

"She's good. A lot better now without Dad.", Jill said. "She's actually real happy now, especially seeing how Julie has grown. And I mean figuratively as well as physically."

"I'm sure she is proud of both of you.", I said looking over at Julie.

"She keeps trying to get me to get a job.", Jill complained.

"Well, you're out of school now. You should get a job.", I said.

"Yeah, Jill. It would be good for you. It would get you out and you can meet new people.", Julie told her.

"I can't do a job."

"Sure you can. You don't have to be, say, a doctor, like, right away. You could work at the clothing store where my sister works. I bet she could get you a job real easy there. They're always looking for people."

"I'll never be a doctor. But I don't know.", Jill said.

"I bet you'd find a real nice guy like Sam too.", Julie piped in. I blushed, Jill smiled.

It seemed like spirits were up and the girls were reconciling their latent distaste for each other. We made dinner then went out to a movie that night. It was sort of a chick flick that the gals wanted to see. I can't remember what it was, so you see I was real interested. But it was good to get out with 'family' and I truly felt that Jill was part of my family.

Plus, it was real funny watching Julie fold her legs into those theater seats. Did I ever mention she has great legs?
