Perfect Timing

Some might call this incest, but she is my aunt by marriage not a blood relative. My family is very well off, and I've never had to struggle with money. My aunt married my uncle for a better life, and it was conditional on her providing at least one child for him. My uncle a pig of a man my own father's description of his younger brother. A loudmouth know-all who failed high school had to repeat his last year twice. His parents didn't send him to college not wanting to waste the money. Had a job in the family business and was put out of the way you could say. Always in some trouble or another, done drugs, drank to excess and smoked like a chimney. At 30 he was given an ultimatum, clean up your act and marry and start a family. For 3years he dodged it as much as possible, but on his 33rd birthday he was told he'd a year to compile. Now desperate he finally found a woman who was desperate enough to marry him. Ten years his junior, great looking, married with a prenup (family condition). Unfortunately, he was unable to perform in the bedroom. Nice way of saying he was always either drunk or spaced out on drugs. My aunt is a very nice person (my view) and only thru desperation had married my uncle. My father is oldest of 5 and his only brother the youngest, my parents married at college and I'm the oldest of 3 and same age as my aunt. My aunt has no family of her own being raised in state care and hadn't been to college. I liked her quite a lot and being a nerd is the quickest way to describe myself, not into sports and not great at dating. So, when I needed a date for the prom, my grandmother asked my aunt to accompany me as her husband was again in rehab. She was living with them, I felt very special with my aunt as my date for the prom. I of course didn't tell anybody she was my aunt, she stayed close to me and refused all dance requests from others. Mainly because she was nervous attending the prom, out of her comfort zone. I was comfortable because I knew her and had always liked her from my first meeting. I found out two things while we were at the prom, first her desperation was the only reason she'd married my uncle and second, she was still a virgin. My uncle as I've already said was unable to perform in the bedroom. After the prom I seen her every chance I got, my uncle returned from rehab and started drinking and drugs again almost straight away. Given up as a dead loss by the family, my uncle blamed his wife for nor having children. I of course had told my grandmother about him being unable to perform. She has a soft spot for my then aunt, my uncle stunned everybody by filing for divorce on the grounds no child a condition of the prenup. My grandmother supported my aunt and suggested she not oppose the divorce. She had made up her mind her son was a complete loss and decided to marry my aunt to me. At least I would give her great grandchildren, and she already thought my aunt and me were perfect for each other. My uncle was stunned by the quick divorce, and it was soon followed by my engagement to his ex-wife. My marriage was delayed a month by the sudden death of my uncle, drunk and high on drugs he rolled his car and didn't survive. A year later we welcomed our first child a daughter named after my grandmother. As far as the family is concerned my wife's marriage to my late uncle didn't happen. But it did bring my now wife into the family, the only good thing my uncle ever accomplished according to my grandfather.
