Make mine to go

[Kyanimal]

HA! Seems Paul is having more "problems" than Bob.

Butt, like Lee is the "stabilizer" for Chris, and Keith is the "rock" for Brian (and visa versa), and Wayne is the "hope" for Ronnie, I'm sure that Everyone is going to get through all of this All Right!

Definitely looking forward to Chapter 41, and those Beyond!

SO, "Lake", don't just sit there reading this! Get BUSY!!

And, of course ... no matter what ...

Keep smilin'!!

Hey guys. Here is another chapter. I hope you enjoy it.
Let me know what you think.

"Make mine to go"
Chapter 41

Paul looked like he was about to freak out baby." Chris said as he and Lee sat on the couch with Lee's head resting on Chris' chest. "Give him a day or two at home with the babies and he will calm down. Its all new and most of the time has been in a vehicle on the road. " Lee said. "Yeah I guess. I was just expecting to see more excitement and less stress." Chris said. "Well I remember this strapping stud walking up to my table not too long ago that had been on the road with two even older than the twins and he seemed to be on his last leg." Lee laughed. "Yeah you are right. I had really forgotten that. It seems like so long ago at this point. " Chris said. "So don't worry. Paul will calm back down soon enough." Lee said. "Thank you." Chris said and kissed Lee on the top of the head. "For what ?" Lee asked. "For making mine and the boys life so complete that I can totally forget about the bad parts." Chris said. "Oh I didn't do that. You would have calmed down after a couple of days being home with the boys even without me. " Lee said. "One of these days I will make you accept a compliment and not argue. " Chris said laughing.

Bob and Lee came into the living room to see the boys playing in front of the group. "That will be us one day." Paul said. The four adults turned to see them standing there. "Feeling better ?" Lee asked. "Oh yes he is. I need to find out what Bob's secret is to his magic wand. Seems like it brought out a whole new Paul. " Keith laughed. "KEITH." Brian scolded. "Hey Paul must have gotten some and it must have been really good. " Keith laughed. "Sorry guys. I am trying to train him." Brian laughed. "Well he has a point. Yes I got some and yes it is always amazing. It always makes me feel like a new man." Paul said causing Bob to blush. "Leyton drank his milk. I gave him a kiss on his head for not crying. But I promise I was really careful. " Alex said. "Come here little buddy." Paul said as he leaned down to pick Alex up. "You can kiss Leyton or Addyson anytime you want too." Paul said. "See Papa . Unca Paul said I could kiss Annyson too." Alex said. "Its Addyson baby." Chris said. "Thats what I said. Annyson." Alex said. This brought a big laugh from all the men. "Dinner is ready. You guys ready to eat ?" Lee asked. "Always." Keith said. "I give up." Brian said laughing. "We don't want Keith any other way. Thats why we love him so much." Bob said. "See somebody loves me. " Keith said as he looked at Brian and pouted.

Dinner went well. About half way through the meal there was a cry that came over the baby monitor. All the men began to stand at one time. "You guys eat. This is my job. " Paul said. After a few minutes you could see the glow on Bob's face. Paul had forgotten the baby monitor was on and all the men could hear him talking to both babies telling them how much their two daddies loved them and how much their two daddies loved each other. "I want to hear that one day through our baby monitor." Keith said. "Baby monitor ?" Chirs asked. "Well hell I am trying everything I can and Brian just wont get pregnant." Keith said as if he were serious. "Like I said. I give up. I can't take him out in public." Brian said. "Well you can lock me in the bedroom as long as you are in there with me then. " Keith said. That brought another round of laughter from the men. "You still haven't answered my question." Chris laughed. "I have already told Brian that I want he and I to have a house full of kids." Keith said and he pulled Brian closer to him on the love seat. "Thats great guys." Lee said. "Well if Brian still refuses to get pregnant Lee has the right hook up for you to get that house full. " Paul wouldn't get pregnant either and believe me we tried every day. I finally had to get Lee's help." Bob laughed. "Well when I finally delivered from all your efforts I brought you home one of each." Paul said. Not realizing that he had came back in the room and heard the conversation. "Yes you did baby. Hand me which ever one that is you are carrying." Bob said as he reached out to take the infant. "Can't tell your kids apart yet ?" Keith laughed. "At this point not with a diaper on." Bob laughed. "Well Addyson wanted her other daddy." Paul said as he handed the baby to Bob. "Alex, come here little buddy." Bob said. "Yes Unca Bob. " Alex said. "I think Addyson needs a kiss from her cousin Alex." Bob said. Alex was almost trembling as he leaned over and kissed the baby on the top of the head. He stood there after the kiss and just stared. Not a movement nor a sound. "You alright buddy ?" Bob asked. Alex ran towards Chris and Lee and jumped into Lee's lap and wrapped his arms around his neck. "Pop I have a cousin." Alex said still trembling. "Yes you do buddy. You have Kolt and Shasta and now you have Leyton and Addyson. So now you have four cousins." Lee said. Alex sat back straddling Lee's lap. He held up three fingers. "I have this many ?" Alex asked. "No baby. You have this many." Lee said as he held Alex's hand and raised another finger. The amazement in the little boys eyes was priceless. Alex turned quickly. "Unca Brian I have this many cousins." Alex grinned. "Yes you do buddy. " Brian said. "Unca Brian. That was so sweet. I guess I am family now." Brian thought. Lee saw the look in Brian's eyes. "You have always been family Brian." Lee said. Brian sat for a minute and wondered if he had said that outloud. Realizing he had not all he could think was. "Boy is Lee scary."

Lee and Brian were cleaning the kitchen after dinner while Chris and Keith cleared the table and brought the food and dishes to the kitchen. The mood was light and the men laughed and joked. Bob stood in the kitchen doorway holdong Addyson while Paul entertained both Cody and Alex. Lee had a dish rag in his hand and was wiping the stove when all of a sudden he grabbed his chest and dropped the rag. "Chris saw what was happening and dropped the two dishes he had in his hand. Luckily they were the platic dishes that Alex and Cody were eating from. Brian had gotten to Lee just before Chris did. "Whats wrong ?" Brian asked. Chris grabbed Lee and hugged him tight. It scared him that Lee remained motionless and did not return the hug. Lee pushed Chris away. "Phone... phone.. where is my....." Lee tried to say about the time an alarm went off on his phone and also on Chris'. "What the hell ?" Chris said. Lee grabbed his phone and mashed the falshing button. "Mash the falshing button Chris." Lee shouted. "What the hell is going on ?" Chris asked. Still looking at the phone. "MASH THE DAMN FLASHING BUTTON." Lee shouted. Bob stepped back shielding Addyson's ear from the the shouting. Not sure what was going on Chris mashed the button on his phone. "I mashed it, Don't shout at me. " Chris said. with a little anger in his voice. "Hello. Yes sir.. yes sir... they are here with me. Yes sir I am on it. Who is coming ? I need clarification when they arrive. Is everyone alright ? Where are they taking her ? I understand. Oh shit. Where are they taking him ? Yes sir. Consider it handled on this end. Yes sir he is here too. Don't worry about that sir. Yes sir. Keep me informed. " Keith said as he hit the end button on his phone. Heairng the conversation Lee's knees had gotten weak and without the help of Chris and Brian he would have sank to the floor.

"Sit tight everyone. We are about to have company. " Keith said. "What's wrong and who is it this time ?" Lee asked. Keith told the group about the conversation he had just recieved. Mrs. Ruth's security company caught someone hacking into their computers and activating all the families GPS's. They had activated and pinged not only vehicles but cell phones. Mrs. Ruth was headed home from dinner with friends and a truck forced her off the road and down an embankment. Dean was headed home from work and another truck forced him into the interstate mediun wall. They were both a little bruised but were being taken to the hospital. When the security company got to Dean and Breanna's and also Lee's brother's houses there were unknown vehicles on the property and both the security company and the sheriff's office were in pursuit of the vehicles as we speak. Lee's brother and his family and Breanna and the kids were fine but they were all at Breanna's house now with security there. "Who is it ? Is this about the boys ?" Lee asked. "They are not sure at this point. They don't think so though." Keith said. "Who the hell could it be ?" Chris asked. "It could be any number. While Mr. Ward was alive someone came after his family in retaliation to the governer. They tried to force the governer to change a law. That didn't go well for them though. You think Mrs. Ruth is tough. Mr. Ward was a big man and even bigger force to reckon with." Keith said. "Baby there are a bunch of vehicles coming up the drive." Paul said as he entered the kitchen. Lee took off out the back door and met the lead vehicle as it stopped. Keith was fast on his heals trying to stop him and let him make sure they were security. "What do we need to do Chris ?" Bob asked. "Well that is a side of Lee I have never seen. But apparently he has been trained for this and apparently went through it before. At this point all i plan to do is do as he and Keith say and not ask questions. " Chris said. Watching from the window they saw Keith and another security officer taking the car seats out of Lee's vehicle and putting them in one of the SUV's. Lee was pointing and waving as if calling other security people to him. It didn't seem that any were brave enough to argue with Lee from the other men's vantage point. including Keith.

Lee was on the phone as he came through the back door. "Yes Mom we are all fine. Let the doctors do what they need to and we will be there as soon as we can. I love you too." Lee said as he closed his phone. He walked straight to Chris. "Hold me baby.. Please." Lee said as Chris took Lee into his arms and held him for a minute. Keith came in through the back door and walked over and pulled Brian too him and wrapped his arms around him from behind. "What's going on or should I ask ?" Bob asked. Paul walked up and took Addyson from Bob and headed back to lay her in the bed. Once Paul had returned Keith began to explain what he knew. " I really don't know much more. Apparently someone is trying to send a message to either Lee's family or someone connected to them." Keith said. "Is your Mom alright ?" Brian asked. "She is pretty banged up but she drives big cars. We wont allow smaller ones. We want plenty of metal around her just in case. That town car is totaled. She was scared to begin with but now that she knows everyone is alright she is pissed." Lee said. "We have to go south baby. But they don't want us to go until the sun comes up. They are at the house now going through it to make sure nooone is hiding there. You, I and the boys are going in that SUV in the front. We will come back later for mine. " Lee said. " The Sheriff told me not to let you out of my sight so I will drive your vehicle and Brian can drive my truck. Baby we have to stay at Lee and Chris' tonight." Keith said to Brian. "Just tell me what I need to do." Brian said.

Lee had tears running down his cheeks. "Everyone is alright baby. Thats the important part." Chris said. "I know. I just feel bad. We came back to help Bob and Paul get adjusted with the babies and now we have to go." Lee cried. Paul walked over and took Lee from Chris and hugged him. "Buddy you have already done too much. We have my parents and Bob's parents that are dieing to help. We will be fine." Paul said. "Bob you will need to meet with the security people when we leave. They will need both parents names and pictures if you have them. " Lee said. "Why?" Bob asked. "You will have two security teams here around the clock until we know what is going on." Lee said. "I told them about the grandparents but that is about all that will be allowed without either of you approving it until we know something." Lee said. Chris jumped as his phone rang. Usually it does not startle him but this time it did. "Hello Pamela. " Chris said. "Sir this is the security officer. We were to contact you when we had this home secure." he said. "Are you at Pamela's ?" Chris asked. "Yes sir. We are contracted to protect anyone that could be used against a family member until we know what the threat is. " he said. "Let me speak to her." Chris said. "Hello Mr. Hamrick." Pamela said. "Are you alright ?" Chris asked. "Yes sir I was scared to begin with but I am fine now. Besides this security guy is a cuttie. Just don't tell my husband I said that." Pamela laughed. Chris had known her long enough to sense the stress in her voice. "Everything will be alrgiht. I promise." Chris said. "As long as you, Lee and the boys are alright then I am fine." Pamela said. "Remind me to give you that raise." Chris said. "Don't worry Mr. Hamrick I will sign your name to the papers." Pamela laughed.

The security men had met with Bob and Paul while everyone else was being loaded into their appropriate vehicles. At the end of the drive a Atlanta police officer was there to escort the convoy to Chris' house. The first SUV had a full security team. The second vehicle had a security officer with Chris, Lee and the boys. Behind that vehicle was Keith driving Lee and Chris' SUV followed by Brian in Keith's truck and then two more SUV's behind him. "Hell I don't think the President gets this much when he is in town." Brian thought. As they traveled through the dark night in Atlanta Brian's cell phone rang. "Hey baby." Brian said. "Are you alright back there ?" Keith asked. "Yeah I just have to watch the curbs. I am not use to this big truck." Brian laughed. Out of the corner of his eye he could see two vehicles speeding down a side street and didn't seem to be slowing. One of the SUV's broke out of line and began to speed around Brian into oncoming traffic. "We will be at Chris' soon baby and ..... OOHHH FUUCCK." Keith shouted as the first vehicle ran the intersection and broad sided the SUV. The Suv that had tried to pass Brian cut him off and forced him over the curve into a parking lot. "BABY.....KEITH....BABY answer me." Brian screamed into the phone as he watched the SUV roll to its side and spin around so that all he could see was the under carriage and the tires still spinning. The door to the truck came open and a security guard pushed Brian down in the seat. As the gun fire rang out Brian continued to scream into his phone. The call had not been dropped but there was no sound coming from Keith.

"HOLY SHIT. GO BACK." Lee shouted as he saw the action unfold behind him. "I am sorry sir but my instructions are to not stop for any reason until we reach our destination." the security officer said. "..... I.... said go back." Lee said. "They have plenty of help baby. Let him do his job. I am sure that Keith and Brian are fine." Chris said. "Call somebody. I want to know whats going on." Lee instructed the security officer. "Sir we will find out shortly. Just relax we will be at our destination soon." the officer said. "You got your one gimme when you refussed to go back. But if you don't punch that fucking phone and find out what is going on you will find out exactly who I am and what I can do." Lee barked. "Calm down baby. You are scaring the boys. We will find out. " Chris said. "Son I think the best thing for you to do is make that call. " Chris said calmly. Chris could feel Lee's body shaking in the seat beside him. He released his seat belt and slid over so that he could take Lee in his arms and hold him. "Sir you need to put your seat belt back on." the security guy said. "I think the best thing for you to do is focus on the road son and let me worry about my family. Got it ?" Chris said firmly. "Yes sir." the officer said. " I bet you wish now you had not stopped to get something to eat that night. " Lee said crying. "Baby I don't regret a minute. I will fight them off single handed and not regret a minute from the time I saw you setting there. I thank god every minute for the hunger pain that made me stop there. So you forget you ever thought that and let me take care fo you. " Chris said.

"Yes sir. Everything is secure here. There were two ? Have both been imobilized ? Oh the white SUV. The one the deputy was in ? Three fatalities so far. The deputies pick up will have to be towed too ? Fine sir. We are secure here. If you need any of my men just call." the security officer said. "What was that all about ?" Bob asked. "There was an incident on the route. Mr. Lee and his family are fine. Two vehicles tried to ram the convoy. They hit the white SUV and turned it over and the truck was forced over a curb and into a utility pole." he answered Bob. "Oh shit baby. Keith was drivnig Lee's car and Brian was driving Keith's truck." Paul said. "You said three fatalities so far. What about the SUV and the truck ?" Bob asked. "Sir they didn't say who the fatalities were. All I know at this point was there were two vehicles disabled and there was a gun fight. Sorry I don't have more to tell you." the officer said. "Bob took Paul into his arms and held him tight as Paul shook and Bob could feel the tears soaking through the shoulder of his shirt. "Come on sweetie. Lets go check on the babies." Bob said trying to calm Paul down.

"Baby please talk to me. PLEASE say something." Brian cried into the phone. One of the security gurads ran by the guard at the truck. "Hold your postition. Three dead here so far." was all Brain could hear as the officer ran on. "What about Keith?" Brian asked the officer. "Sir I couldn't say. You have heard as much as I have." the officer said. "Baby I love you with all my heart and soul. Please speak to me. Please say something. KEITH." Brian screamed into the phone to recieve no response from the other end. The call had not dropped but there was no sound coming from Keith's phone.

Heres another chapter guys. I hope you enjoy.
If you enjoy it please let me know.

"Make mine to go "
Chapter 42

"Hey, What's going on ?" Lee asked as Breanna answered her cell phone. "Are you guys safe ?" She asked. "We are fine. I am freaking out though. I can't find out anything about Keith and Brian." Lee said. "We heard there was an accident and a shoot out. The only thing they would tell us was that You, Chris and the boys were not involved." Breanna said. "Well I have been speed dialing both Keith and Brian and it goes straight to voice mail." Lee said. "Hopefully they will tell us all something in a few minutes." Breanna said. "Well I am really starting to get pissed off." Lee said. "Just calm down. You know Memaw hires the best. " Breanna said. "How are she and Dean doing ?" Lee asked. "Memaw is just a little bruised up but they are going to keep her over night just to make sure. Dean is raising hell wanting to get home but he had to have a few stitches and has a couple of cracked ribs. " Breanna said. "Is everyone else safe ?" Lee asked. "As far as I know they are." Breanna said. "What the hell is going on. Who is behind this ?" Lee asked. "We aren't sure yet. At first they thought it may have something to do with the boys but I think they have ruled that out. Apparently it is someone trying to send Memaw a message. She is steaming so I am sure we will know very soon who is behind this. " Breanna said. "Well now that I know everyone is safe I need to see what I can do to help Keith and Brian. Breanna the SUV was still sliding on its side the last time I saw it. " Lee said trying not to cry. "Lee remember. This is Keith we are talking about. He is trained in all this crap. I am sure he will be fine. You have to hold it together because ":YOU" are the one that will have to make things happen on that end. Remember that. " Breanna said. " I know that. We love you girl. Give the babies a kiss and keep all of you safe. I am sure we will be seeing you tomorrow. " Lee said as he hung up the phone. "Everyone alright baby ? " Chris asked. "Apart from Keith and Brian it seems to be. I Have to find out they are alright." Lee said and he broke down in Chris' arms and began to sob.

"Keith baby, please pick up the phone and talk to me. I love you baby. You are my reason for living. Please talk to me. " Brian cried into the phone. "The men had surrounded the SUV and Brian watched as two men climbed up the vehicle to try to get inside. Moments later the phone went dead. Brian began to have a panic attack. Every time he would move towards the SUV he would be stopped by the guard. "Please sir. Stay here where you are safe. Let our men do their job." he would say. Brian's phone rang. "KEITH, KEITH , baby speak to me." Brian screamed and cried at the same time. "Brian? Whats wrong?. This is Wayne." Wayne said with fear in his voice. "He's in the car Wayne. They wont tell me if he is alive." Brian cried. "Holy Shit buddy. Whats going on ? What can I do ?" Wayne asked. "Get me an ambulance. I need help Wayne PLEASE." Wayne said. "O.k. Wayne listen to me carefully. Keith is a strong man. He is going to be fine now you need to be strong. He was strong for you now you need to be for him. Tell the EMT's to take him to Piedmont and I will call Ronnie." Wayne said. "Thank you. You are my savior right now. " Wayne said. "You don't need my strength buddy. You have enough for you and Keith too. Let me call Ronnie and get him to the hospital and I am on my way. Stay strong buddy. Keith will be fine. " Wayne said.

"The party you have reached is not available. At the tone please leave you name and number." Ronnie's voice mail had answered. "Ronnie this is Wayne. Call me ASAP." Wayne hung up and thought to himself . "If he is with his partner it may take a while for him to call." Picking his phone back up Wayne sent a text to Ronnie. "Call me 911....911." Ronnie's phone went off signaling a text message. He had been in the living room at home setting across the room from his partner and didn't want to have to explain talking to Ronnie. He lifted the phone and his heart almost stopped. "Hey whats wrong ? Are you alright ?" Ronnie asked as Wayne answered the phone. "Its not me. It's Keith. They still have not cut him out of the vehicle. Brian is standing on the side of the street and has no idea if Keith is even still alive. I told them to have them carry him to Piedmont. " Wayne said. "O.k If you talk to Wayne again tell him I am on my way." Ronnie said. "What happened ?" Ronnie asked. "I really don't know. I know that Lee, Chris and the boys were being escorted home by Lee's security people and someone tried to run them off the road thinking it was Lee but it was Keith driving his truck." Wayne said. " Lee's security ? What are you talking about ?" Ronnie asked. "Long story. I will tell you sometime but please just get to the hospital. I will be there as soon as I can." Wayne said. "I am headed out now. And baby. Please be careful." Ronnie said. "What was that all about ?" the partner asked. "I have an emergency at the hospital I have to go. " Ronnie said. "What about me ? What about my dinner ?" the partner protested. "Eat a fucking sandwich for all I care." Ronnie said as he headed out the door. "I want be talked to this way in my house." the partner called from the door. "Good this is my house. Yours is across town. Go to yours and I want talk to you that way." Ronnie shouted as he shut his car door and started the ignition.

"I am going to the hospital." Lee stood and announced. "Sir we can't let you leave. " the security officer said. "CAN'T. We will just see about that." Lee said. He opened his phone and pressed a code. "Yes sir, how cam we help you?" the voice on the other end said. "This is Lee and I am leaving here going to the hospital even if I have to fucking walk." Lee said. "Sir for your safety I am asking you to stay home and let us call you with reports." the voice said. "I have tried that and have been treated like shit. I am going to the hospital. If you have to call out the Army fucking national guard you do what you have to do." Lee said. "Sir your and your families safety is our first concern. " the voice said. "Well let me just put it this way. You have two minutes to have me in a vehicle headed to the hospital or my next call will be to replace you and your entire company. Do you UNDERSTAND me ?" Lee said. "Yes sir. Give me a couple of minutes and I will work out something." the voice said. "Know this. If I call you back because I am not on my way to the hospital it will be to tell you that you and your company are fired. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME ?" Lee shouted as he held the phone away from his ear. "Sir please calm down." the security guard in the house said to Lee. He looked over at Chris as if looking for help. "Hell no buddy. I wouldn't get in the middle of this for all the money in the world and he loves me. If you don't do what he says then you will also have me to deal with." Chris said. Moments later the guards phone rang. "Yes sir. Piedmont. Any futher instructions ? " the guard asked. "Mr. Lee your escort will be here within five minutes." he said. "I guess someone finally understands me." Lee said huffing out of the room. Chirs followed Lee into the bedroom and walked up behind him and warpped his arms around him. "You alright baby ?" Chirs asked. "Noone is taking me serious. I told you once that I would move heaven and earth and turn hell inside out if I needed for you and the boys. If that escort is not here in three and a half minutes, close your eyes and ears because you will see a small dose of exactly what I am talking about. " Lee said. "I believe you baby but please calm down. You know I love you, don't you ?" Chris said. "I love you too baby. Please don't take anything I say out of line persoanlly. I just have to pull this side out sometimes to get my point across. " Lee said. "Just remember I love you with all my heart and soul." Chris said. A lite tap on the door. "Sir your escort has arrived." the officer said. "Go baby. I will stay here with the boys." Chris said. "Sir I have three children and the female security officer has two. Your boys are asleep and if you feel safe leaving them here we can take care of them while you go with Mr. Lee." the officer said.

"Babe, I feel lost. We need to be doing something. " Paul said to Bob. "I don't know what we can do. All we can so is wait for news." Bob said. Paul had brought Leyton into the living room and was trying to feed him. Leyton was crying and not eating which caused Paul to begin to cry. "Sir if you don't mind let me try to get the little fella to eat." the security officer said. Reaching out and taking Leyton from Paul the baby almost immediatly stopped crying and as soon as the bottle was in his mouth he began to eat. "See my son doesn't even like me." Paul cried. "No sir thats not it. Hold your hands out. " the officer said. Paul held his hands out and could barely do so they were shaking so bad. "See sir. This baby senses when you are nervous, scared or upset. The only way he knows to react is cry because it scares him too. " the officer said. "How do you know so much about babies ?" Bob asked. "Have a couple of my own at home. My little girl is only three weeks old." the officer said. "So gruff straight men loves babies too ?" Paul said laughing. "Who said I was straight ?" the officer laughed. "Sorry." Paul said. "No need. I am straight but my brother in law and his partner are my best friends. Every time my wife gets mad at me I tell him and her that I married the wrong sibbling. " which made all the men laugh. The officer stood and handed Leyton back to Paul while he was still eating. "See little man your daddy is much calmer." the officer said. "I don't get to hold my own while my brother in law and brother in law are there. They have been trying to adopt for years but I am sure you two know how long it took you. Being a gay couple and all I mean." the officer said. "Yep took us six weeks." Paul said. "Those babies can't be six weeks old. I was informed two days." the officer said. "Oh they are. But from the time we decided to adopt it only took six weeks." Bob said. The officer sat there puzzled. "Well my brother in law lives in Charleston, South Carolina and they have spent many thousands of dollars and over seven years and are no closer." the officer said. "You need to talk to Lee." Paul said. "We are not allowed to speak to clients except for business matters. Plus I don't think I want to see him for a few weeks." the officer said. "Why is that ?" Bob asked. "Well sir since you are his lawyer I guess I can speak freely. I got a call a few minutes ago that Mr. Lee had threatened the whole company. It only took my boss about two minutes to decide to do as Mr. Lee said. " the officer said. "What was his issue ?" Paul asked. "He wanted to go to the hospital and was told no. BIG mistake." the officer said. "If he is anything like his mother I bet that was the wrong answer." Bob said. "To be honest sir. We are all more afraid of Mr. Lee and his niece than we are his mother. She comes right out the gate strong and you know where you stand. Those two can blow up like dynamite and its too late." the officer said. " I can't see Lee doing that. " Paul laughed. "Oh I can." Bob said. "Well you may not be able to talk to Lee on your brother in laws behalf but I can. So give him my number nad have him call me." Paul said. "Thank you sir. Any help you could give but be great." the officer said. "How long have they been together ?" Bob asked. "We just went to Charleston for their twentieth anniversary. They have been together since high school. " the officer said. "Wow thats awesome." Paul said. "Yeah Mrs.Gladys will love them." Bob laughed.

Brian sat beside the truck crying. All he could see were sparks flying from Lee's SUV as the firemen cut away the vehicle to get Keith out. The accident was was on Ronnie's way to the hospital. Not knowing this was the accident that Keith was in he was getting anxious trying to get around the accident to the hospital. As he sat in traffic he looked to his right and saw a young man setting on the ground with his hands on his head. As he watched the young man Brian raised his head and it only took a moment for Ronnie to realize who it was. He threw his car in park and jumped out and ran to Brian. The security guard stepped up. "Sir get back in your vehicle." he said. "BRIAN" Ronnie called out. Brian looked up and suddenly felt some relief. He jumped and ran to Ronnie. Ronnie immeditaly had him set on the ground. "Get me an EMT." Ronnie shouted. "No. They need to help Keith." Brian cried. "Just set still. You have a bad gash on your head." Ronnie said. "No, no its not me Keith needs you. " Brian cried. "I am here Brian. As soon as they free Keith I will be right there." Ronnie said. "Keith can't leave me." Brian cried. "Let me go check and I will get some bandages for your head." Ronnie said and ran towards the over turned SUV. It seemed like an eternity before Ronnie returned. He began to try to clean the cut on Biran's head. "No, no Ronnie.. Just Keith." Brian cried. "They almost have him out. I am going to ride in the ambulance with him." Ronnie said. "He's still alive?" Brian asked. "Yes buddy. He is in bad shape but he is still alive." Ronnie said. The words had not even cleared Ronnie's lips before Brian passed out. "Please God help me to help Keith. I can't let them or Wayne down." Ronnie thought.

Lee and Chris arrived at the Emergency room as the ambulance pulled into the Emergency bay. Another black SUV matching the one Lee and Chris were in pulled in right behind it. Two security officers opened the door and helped Brian out of the SUV. Lee's heart stopped when he saw all the blood on Brian's shirt. Another officer walked up and handed a set of keys to Brian. "Thank you for all your help." Brian said. Lee ran o Brian. "Are you alright buddy ?" Lee asked Brain broke down. All he could say with a very horse voice. "Keith." Brian cried. "Where is he ?" Lee asked. "Ronnie rode with him in the ambulance." Brian said. "So he is o.k. ?" Lee asked. "Ronnie said he is alive but its not good. I can't loose him Lee." Brian cried. "Listen buddy. We have to be strong for him. If it is within his power I know he wouldn't leave you here. Trust me." Chris said. "I am so sorry Brian. This had nothing to do with you or Keith. I am so sorry you got dragged into this. " Lee cried. "Get him in here. We need to fix that cut." Ronnie called from the Emergency Room door. "You fix Keith. I will be fine." Brian called back. "We have him in the trama room. As soon as I get the tests run I will be back in there. For now you get in there and let us see about your head. " Ronnie demanded.

Once in the Emergency room Brian was taken into a cubical. Ronnie examined his head and instructed another doctor to clean the wound again and stitch it while he went to see if Keith's xrays were finished. Brian reached up and took Ronnie's hand as he walked by. "Save him please. I can't live without him." Brian pleaded. "I will do everything in my power to return Keith to you even better than before." Ronnie said. "I just want my Keith back. I don't need him better I need him alive." Brian began to cry again. A few minutes later Brian returned to the waiting area that all the men had gatherd. Ronnie came to the door. "Guys, we have Keith stable. He has a severe concusion and is unconcious. I am sending him upstairs for a MRI to see if there is any other damage. He was bleeding from his nose and ears but I hope that it is from the brain trama. Brian I will let you see him but only for a minute. I need to get him upstairs. He should be concious by now but we have to find out why he is not responding." Ronnie said. Wayne had arrived and was standing with Lee. "I need to at least see him and see he is breathing." Lee said. "Sir you have to stay here. That area is not secure." an officer grabbed Lee's arm to stop him. Lee turned to the officer. "Gather around officers." Lee said. The officer let go of Lee but he grabbed him and held him almost face to face. "Lets get one damn thing straight right now. You do not and will not EVER.. TELL.. ME.. NO.. AGAIN.... G O T IT ? I write the fucking check and I pay your fucking salary. You DO NOT tell me NO. FUCKING GOT IT THIS TIME ?" Lee shouted. "And the next one of you that dares just grab me I promise as God as my witness I will make it my mission to FUCK YOUR LIFE UP. G O T IT ?" Lee shouted. There was silence and noone spoke. "I said FUCKING GOT IT ?" Lee shouted again. "There were multiple "Yes sirs." from the officers. The shouting had brought Ronnie to the waiting room to see what was going on. He scanned the room and saw Wayne there. As he started in the room Wayne shook his head "no" to Ronnie as to signal him to leave this alone. "Now I am going to check on my friend. Any objections ? Speak now or forever hold your DAMN peace.But if you speak be prepared for it to be your last words." Lee said. Chris stood frozen. He had never seen such rage in Lee's eyes. As Lee walked out of the room he turned towards Chris and winked at him and blew him a kiss. "What the fuck was all that ? Remind me not to piss him off." Chris thought. Keith's boss the Sheriff was in the room during the conversation. He walked up to the security officer and put his hand on his shoulder. "Son. The next time you are working with a client do yourself a favor and read the profile. Once you read it. Start over and read it again. It may save your job. I have seen guys fired for a lot less. Just a warning." the sheriff said as he walked into the hall to wait on Lee's report.

Chris pulled out his phone and called Breanna. "Hey Uncle Chris." she said. "Hey sweetie. How is everyone there ?" Chris asked. "Dean is still pissed off. They are making him stay overnight. I had to set him straight over the phone. He's alright now though. He will be sore. Memaw is beside herself. She is out for blood. Other than that things are normal here. Any word on Keith or Brian ?" Breanna asked. "We are at the Emergency room now. Brian has an ugly gash on his head but Keith is not doing too good apparently. They can't get him to wake up." Chris said. "How did you get to the Emergency room ? Never mind. I already know." Breanna laughed. "Remind me to never piss your Uncle off." Chris said. "Oh hell sounds like he let some of his uglies hang out." Breanna said. "Some ? I hope that is the worst it could get." Chris said. "Is the hospital still standing ?" Breanna asked. "Yeah." Chris said. "Well then he didn't let all his uglies hang out." Breanna laughed. "What did Memaw feed these boys growing up ?" Chirs laughed. "Spine, backbone and power. And the means to use it affectivly. I think my Dad was allergic to it but Uncle Lee sure wasn't. That was a gift to him from both Memaw and Papa." Breanna laughed. "Sorry I missed that one." she added. "Well it may not be over yet. I am worried though. He was holding his chest when he went to check on Keith. I think he is having a panic attack. " Chris said. "Don't worry about him. He can handle that. One question though ?" Breanna said. "Sure." Chirs said. "When he had his little tantrum did he have a tear running down his face ?" she asked. "Not that I saw, why ? He winked at me as he walked out the door." Chris said. "Oh hell that was not a tantrum then. If he ever starts and you see a tear run down his cheek the best thing for you and everyone else to so is run yourself." Breanna said. "I can't see having to run from Lee." Chris said. "Don't say I didn't warn you then. " Breanna laughed. "Well I will let Lee know about Dean and his Mom. Kiss the kids and we love you guys." Chris said. "We love you too. And don't worry about Lee. As long his conversation was not directed towards you then you are safe. He wont take it out on you. Now the ones he did they are on very thin ice but you are safe. " Breanna said.

"I just heard about Dean and Mrs. Ruth. How are they ?" Wayne asked. "They will be alright. Breanna said that Mrs. Ruth was fuming." Chris said. "I am sure she is." Wayne said. "Sounds like you got a short lesson on Lee from Breanna. I wasn't ease dropping I promise." Wayne said. "Yeah I guess. That didn't worry you ? " Chris asked. "Nope. I was watching. Now if he had pulled out that cell phone or his check book I would have snuck out quickly. My face would not be one etched into his memory at that moment." Wayne said. "Check book ? Lee doesn't have a lot of money. " Chris said. "Maybe not in the balance in his book but I gurantee you that not a single bank he deals with would dare bounce a check for any amount he wrote. That's where they inflict pain. They use the power of the pen." Wayne said. "I told Breanna to remind me to never piss him off." Chris laughed. "Oh don't worry buddy. I don't think you could. Excuse me. I need to speak to Ronnie." Wayne said as he touched Chris on the shoulder and headed down the hall to catch Ronnie. "Hey baby. I am glad you made it here safe. " Ronnie said as he reached out to touch Wayne. "I just wanted to thank you for answering my text." Wayne said. "Forgive me. I should have answered your call." Ronnie said. "I understand why you didn't but I couldn't wait for you to get a chance thats why I text you." Wayne said. "Well I should answer anytime you call. I am sorry." Ronnie said. "Don't worry. I wont call unless its an emergency." Ronnie said. "Don't say that." Ronnie said. "I know I could but those days are over. If I call it will be important. " Wayne said. "Please don't say that. You call me anytme you feel like it and I will answer." Ronnie said. "Look. Right now it is what it is. So I wont be calling. Now is not the time for this. Go take care of Keith." Wayne said as he leaned up and kissed Ronnie on the cheek and headed back to the waiting room.

"Male mine to go"
Chapter 43

All the men were still gathered in the waiting room. Brian had returned with Lee when they took Keith to run tests. "Baby, I love you." Lee whispered to Chris. "I love you too." Chris whispered. Wayne was setting on the other side of Brian with his hand on his back as Brian leaned over and cupped his face in his hands. Trying to sob but his body just would not let him. He had cried so much and his stress level was so high his body just would not give in and let him cry anymore. "He is going to be alright buddy. Ronnie is good at what he does." Wayne said. "I know he is. I am sorry that you got dragged into this and have to be here with him." Brian said. "Don't you worry about that. This is not about me and Ronnie. This is about you and getting Keith well." Wayne said. Brian turned and hugged Wayne tight and his body finally allowed him to cry again.

Ronnie entered the room and everyone stood quickly as if the President had walked in. Wayne stood with his arm around Brian sensing how weak Brian was from the stress. "We have finished the tests and I have reviewed them. " Ronnie said. "How is he Keith ?" Chris asked. Ronnie began to explain about Keith's injuries. There was no sign of internal bleeding. His brain had swollen slightly but that was to be expected. The blood from his nose and ears was caused his nose being broken and his ear due to the pressure on his brain causing a blood vessel in his ear to burst. The seat belt had dislocated his collar bone and had severely bruised three ribs. The lap belt had bruised and fractured Keith's hip. Ronnie explained that they had him on an antibiotic but no other medication. The shock to Keith's body and the swelling on his brain was apparently the reason for his temporary coma. They would not give him pain medication until he wakes hoping that pain would help him to wake sooner. Those words almost made Brian collapse. Wayne was able to steady Brian before he fell. "We are moving him to a semi ICU ward. He will be in a private room and not in ICU but the nurse there will only have two patients and it has the same equipment as an ICU if needed. His heart rate is a little elevated so we are going to keep a close check on that also. Brian, its all up to him now." Ronnie said. One of the officers walked up to Lee. "Same protocal ?" he asked. "Yes, but inform the Sheriff of everything you are doing and why." Lee said. "What was that ?" Chris whispered. "We pay for the room across the hall and it has to be the two rooms at the end of a hall so that security can control it. " Lee said. "Oh." was all Chris could think to say. "He will be in his room in about fifteen minutes Brian so a nurse will come get you once he is settled. I have also ordered recliner and sofa bed to be placed in the room for you." Ronnie said. Brian walked slowly to Ronnie and reached out and hugged him as tight as his weak muscles could. "Thank you so much for bringing Keith back to me. I owe you my life now." Brian said.

The nurse came in about ten minutes later and ask for Brian. She led Brian, Wayne, Chris and Lee to Keith's room. "His heart rate has been around 130. He is not in danger but we are monitoring it. We don't want it higher. We hope that it goes below 100. If he is having any pain at this moment it will cause his heart rate to be higher, but that may help him to wake up sooner." she said. Brian pulled the recliner to the side of the bed. The nurse moved it slightly. "This will give us the room so you don't have to be disturbed and also give you access." she said. "Thank you." Brian said. Chris and Lee stood against the wall with Lee leaning back against Chris. This had become almost automatic for the two. Wayne stood in the doorway leaning against the door frame. Ronnie walked up behind Wayne and leaned his weight against Wayne's back. Wayne had recognized the cologne and even the body heat before Ronnie ever touched him. Ronnie slid his hand into Wayn'es back pocket cupping one of Wayn'es ass cheeks. "You alright baby. I am really glad to see you." Ronnie said. Wayne turned his head and kissed Ronnie on the cheek. "Thank you." Wayne said. "Well I am just doing my job. You are the one to be thanked. You dropped everything to help them. It shows just how much love you have bottled up inside." Ronnie said. "Yeah. love that nobody wants. " Wayne said as he moved away from Ronnie and moved to the other side of the bed. "Did you see that ?" Lee asked Chris. "Sad isn't it? I have both of them quite a few times. When Ronnie walked up and leaned into Wayne it looked like they both glowed." Chris said. "You did see then." Lee chuckled. "It is sad though. Have I told you in the last two minutes that I love you ?" Lee said. "Nope." Chris laughed. "Well I ahve to make up for lost time. I love you with everything I am." Lee said. "Ditto sexy." Chris said.

Keith lay there not able to open his eyes. "God this pain is too much. I didn't have time to react. I could have minimized this but that truck pushed Brian. Where is my baby ?" Keith thought. Brian sat in the recliner. Scared to touch Keith. Ronnie walked up and placed his hand on his shoulder. "You can touch him. Talk to him. We don't know if he can hear you or not but you may be able to help." Ronnie whispered. Brian reached out and took Keith's right hand into both his hands. It almost felt like static electricity. "God what was that ? It was a shock but it felt good." Keith thought. Brian lightly kissed Keith's hand. "Baby its me Brian. You are going to be fine. Please stay strong. I need you." Brian whispered. "Oh shit. I hear his voice. Where is he ? He is alright. He is talking to me." Keith thought. Keith could feel his hand being rubbed and kissed. "Thank you Lord my baby is here and safe. " Keith thought. Ronnie watched the monitor as Keith's heart rate began to lower. "Keep talking to him." Ronnie said. After a couple of minutes Keith's heart rate had lowered to almost 100. "Can we try something ?" Ronnie asked. "Sure you are the Doc." Wayne said. "You know he is here and you know he is safe. Leave him for a couple of minutes and let the others talk to him. I need to see something. " Ronnie said. Brian let go of Keith's hand and stood. Keith's boss walked in and spoke to Keith for a second and then allowed Chris, Lee and Wayne to speak. Within about two minutes Keith's heart rate was back up to 130. "Now set back down and take his hand and talk to him again." Ronnie said. Brian took Keith's hand and leaned over and lightly kissed Keith on the lips. I am here baby. Wake up for me baby." Brian said. He leaned over and whispered in Keith's ear. "I have your super tight ass that needs your attention sexy." Brian whispered. Within a minute or so Keith's heart rate had began to lower again. "My babies here. Where is he ?" Keith thought. "See. He knows you are here. I think he will be fine but talk to him as much as you can. You both need to rest though. " Ronnie whispered to Brian.

"Hello." Bob said as he answered his cell phone. "How are you Mrs. Ruth. I heard about your accident." Bob said. "I am fine son. I am just a little angry at the moment." she said. "Uh, we didn't know anything until the phone calls came. Chris, Lee and the boys are fine. I just off the phone with Chris and he says they think Keith will be fine too." Bob said "I am not angry with you. I want to thank you for keeping a cool head. How are those precious babies ?" she asked. "They are fine. Paul is a little bit of a wreck though." he laughed. That drew a punch in the ribs from Paul. "I know that you just got home today but I would like it if You, Paul and the babies would come to Lee's tomorrow until we have this threat sorted out." she said. "I will talk to Paul about it. I don't know that he will want to interupt them though. " Bob said. "I can fully understand that and you will have security there as long as you need it but I at least need to have a short meeting with you tomorrow before lunch if that is possible." she said. " That will not be a problem plus I will discuss your other proposal with Paul." Bob said. " I have some important papers that I need taken care of tomorrow." she said. "What time will be good for you ? " Bob asked. "Well I will be dismissed around eight a.m. so would ten be too soon for you ?" she asked. "Not at all. I will see you then." Bob said. "I appreciate you doing this on short notice. If you don't bring Paul and the babies then at least bring me pictures. " she said. "I will see you at ten sharp Mrs. Ruth. You get some rest. " Bob said. "What was that ?" Paul asked. Bob explained to Paul what Mrs. Ruth had asked. "Well baby I wanted to get them settled here but until I know we are all safe I had rather be where I know they can be guarded better." Paul said. "Well no need to unpack their things then." Bob laughed.

The men had left the hospital and headed to their homes. Chris and Lee had demanded that Wayne spend the night at their house instead of driving back south that late at night. They had also asked Ronnie to come to the house for a cup of coffee. When they arrived they were surprised to see Alex cuddled up in one of the officers laps asleep. "He just walked in here half asleep and climbed up in my lap and said "thank you police man". I didn't want to chance trying to put him back to bed." the officer said. Lee took the sleeping Alex and headed upstairs to Alex's bedroom. "Its Pop stinker. I have you now." Lee said. "I'm not a stinker. The nice police man let me sleep in his lap." Alex whispered. " I hope you didn't mind." the officer told Chris. "He has had a rough short life buddy. I am sure he has slept many times in an officers arms so he feels safe." Chris said. "Hey I am finally seeing some of the things that Lee talks about." Chris thought. Once Lee was back down stairs Ronnie was standing to bid his goodbye's. He had gotten a few angry texts from his partner. His partner had looked at Ronnie's calendar and saw that he was not on call. He was accussing him of ignoring him and putting everyone else in front of his wishes and he was not pleased. Ronnie didn't want to leave. He did not wnat to leave Wayne and defiantly did not want to go home to all the drama. Chris and Lee left Wayne and Ronnie standing at the back door as they said their goodnights and headed upstairs.

Chris and Lee were both exhausted from the days events. While Lee packed a few things for their trip in the morning Chris took a quick shower. Once he was finished Lee took his turn. They both knew the other was too tired to shower together and get each other too excited. Chris put on a pair of shorts and went for one last check on the boys. As he headed back to the master bedroom he saw Wayne coming up the stairs. "You alright buddy ?" Chris asked. "I am fine. I am just glad that everyone will be alright." Wayne said. Chris waited for him to reach the top of the stairs and pulled Wayne into a hug. "Thank you for being such a good friend. You will never know how much that means to me. Sweet dreams buddy." Chris said. "Sweet dreams to you too." Wayne said as he headed to the guest bedroom. Once back in the door Chris dropped his shorts and headed across the room. Lee was standing there naked looking out the window. Chris walked up behind him and wrapped his arms around Lee. Chris loved the feeling of the hair on his chest and the hair on Lee's back weaving together as if to make a sweater. As Chris reached around and placed his hand on Lee's chest he could feel the moisture and then felt a tear drop land on his hand. Chris slowly turned Lee so that he was facing him. Lee had finally realized that everything was calm and everyone safe and had allowed the emotions of the day take over. "Whats wrong baby?" Chris asked as he wiped the tears from Lee's eyes. "I am sorry baby. I am sorry that you got involved in this crazy ass life of mine. I fully understand if you want me to leave and you never see me again." Lee said. Chris pulled Lee to the bed and pulled the covers back. "Lay down here. I need to tell you something." Chris said Lee lay down while Chris crawled in behind him and pulled him tight to him. Lee's body flinched thinking that Chris was going to tell him he could not take the stress. As Chris pulled Lee as tight as he could he leaned over and kissed Lee's cheek. "Baby do you remember what you said about moving heaven and earth and turning hell inside out for me ?" Chris asked. "Yes." Lee said. "Well i may not can do that but for you my love I would fight the devil himself bare fisted. Are you planning on leaving me and the boys ?" Chris asked. "Well your life would probably be easier." Lee said. "Well if you plan too then you need to pack more clothes because as I told you before the boys and I are going with you." Chris said. "Baby I know that you are exhausted but I need to feel you as close as you can be." Lee said. Chris rolled over and grabbed the bottle of lube from the nightstand. When he rolled back he guided his hard cock directly at Lee's ass. The head popped in with some effort which brought a gasp from Lee. "Damn baby you are stressed. You have never been this tight." Chris whispered. In one strong push Lee pushed back on Chris' over sized cock letting a loud grown escape from his chest. Once Lee's breathing had calmed Chris kissed Lee's neck. "My baby feel better now ? " Chris asked. "Oh yes. I have your magic wand inside me now." Lee whispered. "You amaze me you silly, sexy man." Chris said. Within minutes they were both sound asleep with Chris' cock imbeded deep inside Lee.

The next morning went smoothly. Alex never mentioned the events of the night before. Bob and Paul had been escorted earlier so that Bob could keep his appointment with Mrs. Ruth. Arriving at her home they removed the babies and carried them inside. The men could telll that Mrs. Ruth was sore but that did not stop her from holding each of the babies for a few minutes. "Thank you Paul for allowing me to hold them." she said. "Anytime Mrs. Ruth. You are welcomed to see them as often as you like." Paul said. Paul was still very intimidated by the small lady. "May I borrow your husband for a few minutes ? We have some business to discuss." Mrs. Ruth said.

Entering the sunroom Mrs. Ruth pointed to one of the chairs. "Please take a seat." she told Bob. Her personal attorney was present also. "What can I do for you Mrs. Ruth ?" Bob asked. "First I would like to ask a very personal question." she said. " I will answer if I can." Bob said. "So you think that Chris loves my son ?" she asked. Bob felt as if he was out on the spot. "Do not be afraid. You will earn shortly why I ask." she said. "Well Mrs. Ruth I have known Chris for over ten years and I have never seen him this happy. The man almost glows. Plus the incident earlier when Lee was missing almost caused Chris to freak out. I would definatly say he loved him." Bob said. " I feel the same way. I just needed to make sure that I was not overlooking something just so that my son was happy." she said. "I do not think you are seeing something that is not there." Bob said. "Good. All of Lee's life has been surrounded by people that wanted something from him with no reguard to him. All I want is my children safe and happy. I think Chris is the one for Lee. Right now I could not be happier." she said. "Well I have heard Chris tell Lee that if he planned on leaving that he needed to pack enough clothes for him and the boys because they were going too." Bob said. "My first concern is happiness for my children. My second concern is safety as you have probably seen. My husband and I started out with nothing. Over the years and with very shrude business minds and a lot of sacrafice we were able to build quit a nice little nest egg of money and also business aquisitions. I just hate that he died before we were able to enjoy all our hard work." she said. "Do you mind me asking how long ago he passed away ?" Bob asked. "This year will be twenty five years. We tried everything we could find to fight his cancer and we spent a couple of million dollars out of pocket looking for a cure. I would spend that money again to give him hope even though it was to no avail." she said. "I am so sorry to hear that but I understand. I would do the same for Paul and I know for a fact that Chris would do the same for Lee." Bob said.

The next hour was spent going over a protion of the family protfolio and the changes that she wanted made. Bob and her personal attorney had planned to drop Paul and the babies off at Lee's house and then head to her attorney's office to get the paperwork finalized. She could not stress the point enough that she wanted it completed by early afternoon. Bob tried to hide his surprise at what he saw in the protfolio and then was surprised to learn that this was only a portion. Her persoanl attorney was not even privileged to all of her holdings. They both found out that her Certified Public accountant did not even know all of her holdings. "Now I trust that this remains strictly between us. My sons have no clue what my worth is. You two as attorneys don't know it all but I think just this covers more than my sons could ever imagine. " she said. "Now let me hold and kiss each of those precious babies again before you men get to work. Oh by the way Bob. This envelope is for you and Paul to open later." she said as she stood, shook their hands and handed the envelope to Bob. Everyone was loaded and they were headed to drop Paul and the babies off. "What was that all about ?" Paul asked. "I have some paper work to go do. Do not let on but we will have someone freaking out later today. And do not tell Lee and Chris that I met with her. I would hate to have to lie to them" Bob said. "Oh she gave me this envelope for you and I to open later." Bob added. "Open it now. You know it will kill me wanting to know what is in it." Paul said. Bob opened the envelope. Inside was a blank voucher for them to take a two week second honeymoon anywhere they chose with all expenses paid. Also in the envelope were two bank books. One had Leyton's name and the other Addyson's. Each account was started with five thousand dollars each for their education. Paul sat there with his mouth open. "Thats too much baby. We have to give that back." Paul said. "If you only knew sweetie." Bob laughed.

[lakesinclair]

Thank You fastone. I am glad that you are enjoying my little fantasy.

Thank you too KY. I know the story count goes up but unless someone speaks I don't know
if anyone is reading or just stopping by.

Thank you slickgrant. I have learned that many don't like my style of writing but being a die hard romantic I can't write any other way. I have no idea where this story is headed. Some of the chapters are difficult to write since they pretain to situations that are on going and some of the characters are real ones. I have had to divide certain traits and situations out among multiple characters in case someone by chance reads this that may put the puzzle together and know the true characters. Thank you for reading.

We are up to chapter 44. I hope you guys enjoy.


"Make mine to go"
Chapter 44


Chris and Lee arrived at Lee's house to what felt like a family reunion. Bob, Paul and the two babies were there as was Breanna, Dean and their two. "Baby we are going to have to apply for a daycare license." Chris said as he and Lee put their luggage in the master bedroom. "Oh no we aren't. I love all the parents and all the babies but they aren't leaving them all for us to watch." Lee said laughing. "Just wait. Keith can not stop talking about he and Brian adopting. He even asked me one day what the chances of finding triplettes." Chris laughed. "Poor Brian. Having to raise four kids." Lee laughed. "Four ? Oh yeah Keith. I almost forgot. " Chris laughed. "Mom called this morning and wanted everyone to come for supper. What do you think about calling her and asking her to come here. It would be easier than getting a school bus to carry everyone over there." Lee laughed. "Sure I will help anyway I can. Have I told you in the last two minutes that I love you ?" Chris said. "Nope." Lee pouted. Chris walked over and took Lee into his arms and gave him a deep passionate kiss. "Does that make up for it ?" Chris asked. Lee looked down at the front of his shorts as a large wet spot was forming. "Yep, I still got it. Now I guess you will have to change." Chirs laughed as he rubbed the wet spot and then squeezed one of Lee's ass cheeks and headed out of the room. "Hey, not fair." Lee said. "Sorry babe. I have a daycare center to run and a meal to help cook. Sorry." Chris laughed as he left the room.

"How is our buddy this morning ?" Ronnie said as he entered Keith's room. "Still the same. He still hasn't opened his eyes." Brian said. "That is probably a good thing. This will give his body a chance to heal a little more and the swelling in his brain to go down without him trying to over do things." Ronnie said. Brian stood and released Keith's hand to walk over and hug Ronnie. "Thank you so much. One of the night nurses said that you were not on call this weekend." Brian said. "I would have been upset if someone had not called me." Ronnie said. "I owe Wayne a lot. Any ideas of what Keith and I can do for him ?" Brian asked. "Buddy I have been trying to figure that out for years. The most simple gestures mean more to him than anything you could buy in a store." Ronnie said. "When Keith is well we are taking you both out for dinner. Well seperate dinners." Brian said. "I know what you feel I should do but its not that simple." Ronnie said. "I am not fussing at you. Its your life. I can't say anything. My life is laying in that bed. I owe you my life for saving his. " Brian said. "Look, watch his hand." Ronnie said. The fingers on the hand that Brian had been holding were moving slightly. "He knows you were holding his hand and he realizes you aren't. " Ronnie laughed. Brian raced back to Keith's bed side and took his hand and leaned over and kissed Keith's lips. "I am here baby. I love you." Brian whispered. Ronnie went around to the other side of the bed to check Keith. Ronnie finished his check up on Keith. "I think Keith here is going to be as good as new. I think he is just keeping his eyes closed and enjoying the extra attention. " he laughed and said. "If he knows whats good for him he better wake up. If thats what he is doing and I find out you wont be able to help him when I am finished with him." Brian said laughing. "Well take care of him. I will be back this evening to check on him. If anything changes you call me. Don't wait on the nurses too." Ronnie said as he headed out fo the room.

"How did my life get so messed up ?" he thought as he sat in a shadowed corner of the street just south of the downtown MARTA station in Atlanta. (Metro Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority) "I gave him everything I had. At least he is well and safe now. I did my part." the man thought. As he watched the people rushing to get from point A to point B. "I just need to come up with enough money for a bus ticket to a new life." he thought. Someone walking by saw him crouched in a corner and tossed him a quarter. "I use to own a business, my own home, and now strangers are pitching quarters at me. Did I do the right thing ?" he thought as he began to quietly cry. "Crying wont help. I just need to stand up and brush myself off and get on with my life." he thought. "I guess a quarter is a start." he whispered to himself reaching out and picking the coin up.

Lee's Mom arrived late in the afternoon with the food she had prepared. "MEMAW" Alex screamed as he ran across the great room to greet her. He stopped just inches from her and extended his hand as if to shake it. "I don't get a hug and a kiss ?" she asked. "Papa and Pop said that you were hurt and that I had to be careful and not hurt you more." Alex said as he lowered his head and twisted his right foot back and forth. "Alex baby I am sore but I am not hurt so I still want my hug and kiss." she said. Mrs. Ruth got down on her knees so that Alex could give her a hug. Alex lay his head on her shoulder and patted her back as if to tell her it will be alright. Another "MEMAW" scream came as Kolt came running through the great room. "KOLT" Breanna shouted. Chris was close enough to grab the little boy and pick him up and spin them both around. "Thank You. He would have treated memaw like a bolling pin." Dean laughed. "Ohhh.. It hurts to laugh." Dean added. Chris tilted the little boy so that he could give Memaw a kiss before putting him back down. Finally all seated at the table. Mrs. Ruth could not have been happier. Alex sat on one side in a booster seat with Kolt on the other side in another booster. Shasta was in her lap while Lee and Breanna prepare her a plate. "Do I need to save her ?" Chris whispered. "Just try." Lee laughed. She was in heaven trying to make the two boys eat their dinner while Shasta waited patiently for her great grandmother to give her small bites off her plate. When Memaw was not fast enough she would reach out and pull the spoon towards her mouth. Every bite that went to the elderly ladies mouth and not the infant's caused a look on Shasta's face as though her world was crushed only to be rewarded by a small amount on the next spoon.

Dinner was finished and the kitchen almost clean. "I need to borrow you for a few minutes Chris." Mrs. Ruth said. "Oh boy. What did you do this time Uncle Chris ?" Breanna laughed. "Leave him alone Breanna." she said. Chris had slight fear in his eyes and he and Mrs. Ruth went into the den. Lee followed them into the den. "I said Chris. I didn't mention Lee." Mrs. Ruth said and smiled. At that point both Chris and Lee were feeling a little bit of concern. "Remember Mom you are in my house. This is not my brother's . You don't own it." Lee said with a stern tone. "I know its your house and I am not upset with Chris. Quite the opposite. So go and let the adults talk." she said. "Yeah adults." Chris said and laughed. "I will remember that mister." Lee said as he turned and headed back to the kitchen.

"Please take a seat." Mrs. Ruth said. "What can I do for you Mrs. Ruth ?" Chris asked. "Do you love my son ?" she asked. "More than I could ever explain. I couldn't if I tried. Why ?" Chris asked. "I can see that." she said. "I am sorry that if you are upset that we are gay but I love him more than life." Chris said. "Gay does not bother me. I have known that Lee was gay since he was about four years old." she said. "Four ?" Chris asked. "I will explain that later." she said. "Lee said that you have asked him to marry you. " she said. "Yes I have. If you want a prenup or anything you want I will gladly sign. I don't want money. My business is doing great. I just want Lee." Chris said. "Calm down. I don't need a prenup. Besides they are no good anyway." she said. "I had to ask. I have already talked to Bob about it." she said. "Bob ? His ass is toast." Chris thought. "I truely believe you love my son. I have no doubt that he loves both you and the boys. My original issue was that Lee has been used his whole life by the people around him. He opens his heart and also his wallet. They take what they want and then leave him to rebuild his life." she said. "Well I am trying to talk him into selling his properties except this one and quitting his other jobs and just retire. I make enough money for both of us." Chris said getting concerned. "Well son that will be a tough argument for you to win. I know my son. " she laughed. "You have been thrown into a whirl wind in the last few weeks and you have stood strong beside my son." she said. "I told him last night that I would fight the devil bare handed for him. I also told him that he planned to leave me and the boys he had to pack enough for all of us because we were going with him." Chris said. "Well that makes me feel even better about what I am about to do. " she said.

Mrs. Ruth explained to Chris about some of the things she has done over the years to keep her family safe and insure their future. She also explained that she wanted to insure that her and her late husband's hard work was not squandered. She explained that the day would come that Lee would have the responsibilty of insuring its safety. " His brother is a different story. He has been married twice. It took me a few years to be comfortable enough to do with my daughter in law what I am about to do with you and I still wonder if it was a smart move with her sometimes. Please don't make me have the same feeling with you." she said. Mrs. Ruth pulled out some papers. Each of her sons and also Breanna and Dean own a portion of the family corporation. She explained that she had given her daughter in law part of her husbands shares so that if anything happened she would have the access to do what she needed too. "These papers are to transfer some of Lee's shares into your name. If anything happens I want you to have the authority to do what needs to be done. Also you have seen how crazy things can get very quickly. This also gives you the authority to deal with the security people, lawyers and accountants. " she said. "Mrs. Ruth I don't want all that. I am not here for money." Chris said. "Well son this really isn't money as far as putting it in your account. In a few minutes your net worth will jump a few million though." she laughed. "I need to discuss this with Lee." Chris said. "Nonsense." she said. "There is a provision in there that if you and Lee seperate that your shares become penny shares though. I do trust you but I have to protect my family." she said. Chris began to stand. "I don't like this. I don't want your money. I don't even want penny shares." Chris said. "Set down son. I trust you. I trust that you love my son. I believe you were sincere when you asked him to marry you. This is not a test. This is to help me sleep easier at night. " she said. "One day Lee will have to take the reins in this family. I want you to have a footing in this to stand beside him and hold him strong and not be told its non of your business because once you sign these papers it will be your business. The day will come that Lee needs your strength and your support. This way you have the power to give him just that." she said. "Also there are trust funds that you and Lee both are executors of for Alex and Cody. At this point I started them with $500,000.00 each. By the time they are twnety five they shold be wealthy young men. This is not for education. That is a seperate account." she said. "Now Paul is the only one here that can witness our signitures since he is neither family nor employee. Can you ask him to come in please ?" she said.

"Paul Mrs. Ruth needs you in here for a minute." Bob said as he entered the great room. Paul tenses up. "Oh fuck." he whispered to Bob. "Its all fine baby. You will see." Bob said. Paul entered the room and was given a brief explaination of what was expected of him. The papers signed and witnessed both men sat and waited on further instructions. "I do ask that you only discuss this in private and not in public." she said. "No problem." both men responded. "Well do you have any questions ?" she asked. "I have one. You said that you knew Lee was gay when he was around four. How ?" Chris asked. "I need to excuse myself." Paul said. "Nonsense. You can hear this too." she said. Mrs Ruth explained that her mother was full blooded American Indian. You could not tell by looking at Mrs. Ruth or her family. They carried more of the Irish traits. She explained that her mother had told her when Lee was a very small child that he was a "gifted one." Native American Indians welcomed homosexual men. They call them gited ones because they felt they could walk in two worlds and it was a gift from the gods. One other gift handed down to Lee was that he was considred " a seeker of lost souls." Lee was not psychic but was given the insight of troubled souls. In his youth he would scare her and her husband sometimes. He always knew minutes before something bad happend. He would get up and go to the door and noone was there but within a couple of minutes and car would pull in the drive. Many times he would get up and walk to the phone just before it rang. Her mother was the same way. She also gave him the gift of reading the seeking souls. If presented with a fully troubled soul Lee can see what is going on and also determine what part of the problem is. "He has tried to hide it and would never pursue trying to figure it out better. He told me recently about a doctor he met recently that his soul sought Lee out immediatly." she said. "Ronnie" both men thought immediatly. "That explains the other night then." Paul said. "What happened ?" Mrs. Ruth asked. "Lee was cleaning the kitchen and he almost freaked out. He needed his phone. He couldn't find his phone and then within thirty seconds it rang. That was when the security people called. " Paul said. "That doesn't surprise me." she said. "Don't worry boys. I see the look on your faces. Lee would be mad if he knew I told you this. He doesn't read minds or predict the future. But he is very good at reading people very quickly." she said. "I can see that. Plus he is amazing with children." Chris said. "I always said he needed to be a child psychologist. In Indian folklore until a child is trained tainted by life they have the ability to see into our souls. I believe that they can see into Lee's soul and see that all he has for them is love." she said. "That makes a lot of sense." Paul said. "O.k. men. Thank You. I have a room full of babies that are waiting for hugs and kisses and Memaw to spoil them. Thank you Paul for your signature and discression and welcome to the family Chris." she said as they stood and headed to the great room.

"Baby please wake up." Brian whispered. "You have to come back to me. Our future house full of children need, will need their father." Brian said. He pulled Keith's hand up and kissed it lightly. "I can't raise them without you." Brian whispered. "Lord I will give you my life and anything else you want if you bring Keith back to me." Brian whispered. Brian stood and leaned over and lightly kissed Keith on the lips. As he sat back down he lay his head beside Keith's hand. "Will you marry me my love?" Brian said. Brian dozed off with his head laying beside Keith still holding his hand. He was not sure how long he slept but he awoke to a hand running through his hair and then brushing the side of his face. Startled he sat up and looked over at Keith. Keith's eyes were open and he had a faint smile on his face. "Oh my God baby you are awake. I love you so much." Brian said. "Yes." Keith whispered. "Yes ?" Brian asked puzzled. "Yes I will marry you." Keith said. "Oh baby you heard me." Brian said. "Yes, and our children need us both." Keith whispered. "Alright mister. How long were you listening to me and pretending to be asleep ?" Brian asked. "Baby I have heard you.. .. .. from the beginning and was trying to wake up to tell you I loved you too. I just couldn't" Keith whispered. "I need to call Ronnie. You rest but you better wake back up this time. You hear me ?" Brian laughed. "Yes boss." Keith said as he closed his eyes. "Pain please." Keith whispered. Brian pushed the nurses button as he looked Ronnie's number up in his phone and hit send. After a quick conversation Brian quickly sent out a blanket text message. "My baby is awake."

The evening wound down at Lee's house. Everyone had returned to their respective homes except for Bob and Paul and their new family. "Boy your ass is grass." Chris said to Bob. "Sorry buddy I couldn't say anything." Bob laughed. "Well I was definatly not expecting that. I was expecting to be given a check and told to leave." Chris said. "She is not that brave." Lee said. "Well I almost pissed myself when they said she wanted to see me." Paul laughed. "Well you never know with her. " Lee laughed. "I have a personal question. It is non of my business but do you have any idea how much your Mom is worth ?" Paul asked. "PAUL." Bob said. "No its a legitimate question. I have no idea. Everything is explained in detail in her safety deposit box. If I had to guess I would say maybe ten or twelve million maybe. I really have no clue." Lee said. "Damn. that porfolio was only part and it was in access of $400million. " Bob thought. "Well she definatly knows how to use it." Paul said. "Yeah she calls me every month and complains about the light bill. She isn't sure if she can pay it." Lee laughed. "Alright you two. Lee and I will take first shift of babies while you two get a shower. Then you can take over and we can get ours." Chris said. "Don't read my mind while I am in the shower. You may blush." Paul said to Lee. "What did he mean ? " Lee asked. "Your grandmother." Chris whispered. "I will kill her." Lee said as he sat back and folded his arms. Chris pulled him into his side. "Its alright baby. I am really glad she told us. It explained a lot. A lot that I am sure you would have never excplained." Chris said. "Yeah I think its cool. " Paul said. "Well please keep that as our secret." Lee pleaded. "What are you guys talking about ?" Bob asked. "Oh so now we know something that Mr. know it all doesn't. " Chris laughed. "Yeah that makes it even more cool." Paul laughed.

Paul and Bob returned to the great room after their shower. "The boys are asleep and the babies are fed so you two should be good for three or four hours." Chris said. "We are going to shower and hit the sack." he added. Paul had sat next to Lee on the couch. "Magic wand , huh ?" Lee whispered. "How did you know ? Oh never mind." Paul said. "No, not that. You are glowing." Lee laughed. "Yeah that thing works miracales on me." Paul said. "Well time for me to go test drive Chris' magic wand. Well magic ball bat I should say. " Lee laughed. That brought a bright red tent of embarrasement to both Chris and Bob. "Night guys. Hopefully we will find out more tomorrow about what is going on and we can get our lives back to normal.:" Lee said.

Lee had the warm water flowing in the shower when Chris entered the master bath. "God baby you are gorgeous." Chris said as he walked towards Lee. The site of Chris naked and his oversized cock and balls swaying still took Lee's breath away. They entered the shower and as they soaped each other up. "Hey mister. I have never been fucked by a millionare before. Care to help me out there ?" Lee whispered. "Not funny." Chris said. "Oh yes it is." Lee said as he moved down on his knees and began to lick the mushroom head of his lovers growing cock. Chris reached down and pulled Lee back to his feet. "Baby I tried to turn the money down. I hope you don't think I am in it for the money." Chris said. "I know you aren't. You will realize soon enough why she did what she did." Lee whispered. "As long as you don't think thats why I am here." Chris said. "Not at all stud. Now hush. I want to be royally fucked by Georgia's newest millionare." Lee whispered.

The shower went fast with more deep passionate kissing than washing. Out of the shower Chris dried Lee off and then himself. Neither man full dry Chris picked Lee up and set him on the bathroom counter. Chris leaned down and licked the tip of Lee's dripping cock. "I have wanted to taste this honey all day." Chris said. Chris began to suck and nibble on Lee's engorged cock. He slid Lee forward and lay him back more lifting his legs. Chris began to lick from Lee's cock down to his low hanging balls lathering each as he went and stopping to feast on Lee's twitching ass. "Oh God baby I can't take much more." Lee whinned. Chris just chuckled and continued his feast. Lee was on the verge of cumming just from the attention as Chirs stood and reached over to grab a bottle of lotion. Chris had already gotten Lee's ass as wet as possible with his tongue. He applied lotion to his raging cock and aimed it at Lee's twitching hole. Chris reached down to pull Lee up as he slid his lotioned cock inside of Lee. "Uuuuugggggghhh.... oohhh .... sshhhiittt." Lee shouted because at the same time Chirs bottomed out in Lee's ass Lee shot his first rope of cum which hit the mirror over his head. The second shot hit Chirs on the chin. "God baby you are fucking amazing. That is just too hot." Chris said as he began to kiss Lee passionatly.Chris took a finger and wiped the cum off his chin and licked his finger. "Damn baby this is sweeter than any honey." Chris whispered. Chris then took Lee's arms and placed them around his shoulder and picked Lee up still fully imapled on his cock and walked towards the bedroom. "Uuhh...oohh....uuhh." Lee moaned into Chris' ear with every step. The pressure on his prostrate and cock from Chris walking was about to drive Lee insane as his body shook. Chris lay Lee on the bed and began to slide him up further with his cock still planted deep inside Lee. "Daddies turn now baby. You are going to get a royal fucking from Georgia's newest millionare." Chris whispered. Lee wrapped his legs tightly around Chris' waste as Chris went to work giving Lee's ass the fucking that he had begged for. Within five minutes Chris' pace quickened. "Uuugghhhh... uuuhhhh.....hhhoolllyyyy.... ssssshhhhiiiitttttt.....Uhhhh." Chris called out as he leaned over and stuck his tongue deep into Lee's mouth as his body shook and his cock flexed dumping the heaviest load of his life deep inside Lee. "Holy fuck baby. That was worth a million dollars right there. " Chris whispered trying to catch his breath. "Good I will set you up on a payment plan. No cash, no checks, and no credit cards. Just cock." Lee whispered. "Oh I look forward to those payments. " Chris said as he rested his body on top of Lee's.

Eighty seven cents the man counted in his hand. "Fifty towards a bus ticket and the rest with anything I find tomorrow will go for food. Maybe I will eat tomorrow." the man thought. "I use to keep dollar bills in my pocket to give to anyone I saw in need. Now a dollar bill would make me feel rich. I can't dwell on that. I would do the same thing all over again if I had too." the man thought as he settled in the corner under a bridge to try and sleep.

"Make mine to go"
Chapter 45

"How is our patient this morning ?" Ronnie asked as he entered Keith's hospital room. "Horny." Keith replied rather quickly. "Well the swelling didn't change the personality." Brian laughed. "Well you are going to have to stay horny for a while buddy. An orgasm causes too much all over body pressure. Especially the brain." Ronnie said. "But Doc. Its really rough having HOT twins waiting on you hand and foot." Keith said. "Twins?" Brian looked puzzled at Keith. "Yeah I thougth I had the hottest man in the world. But my dream has come true. There are two of your now." Keith laughed. "Double vision is to be expected. Thats why we give you motion sickness medicine to keep it from causing nausea." Ronnie said. "Well I don't mind it when I am looking at my sweetie." Keith said. "Well buddy you are only taking one home. So you better choose wisely." Brain said. All three men laughed. "Ooohhh. Don't make me laugh. It hurts too bad." Keith said. "Well Brian I think you will get your wish. Keith will be back to normal fairly soon. Maybe even a little more frisky." Ronnie said. "Doc. He can't get any friskier. I may need to take that twin home if thats the case." Brian laughed. "Well I guess you don't want it anymore." Keith said trying to pout. "Baby you will forget that statement in about ten seconds. You know better." Brian said. "Thank you Ronnie. We owe you big time. I owe you for Brian and now he says he owes you for Me." Keith said. "All you owe me is to get well and go on and enjoy life." Ronnie said. "I owe you guys too." Ronnie added. "How is that ?" Brian asked. "Seeing you two together and seeing you with your friends has given me a lot to think about." Ronnie said. "Well I thank God every second of the day for him directing Wayne to call me at the right moment." Brian said. "What do you mean ?" Keith said. "I was crying in the phone begging you to speak to me. The call had not dropped. When the security people got into the Navigator your phone died. Just as soon as it went dead mine rang. It was Wayne. He had called to see how the evening went with the new babies. He told me to have them bring you to Piedmont and he would get in touch with Ronnie for me. I told him I didn't want to him to put himself through that. No offense Ronnie. He told me that at that moment that Keith and I were the priority and don't worry about it." Brian said. "He is one of a kind." Ronnie said. "No pressure here Doc. but remember you said it. We already know it." Keith said.

Lee had a restless night. Everytime he fell asleep his grandmother appeared in his dreams bringing someone to him. He saw the shadow of a man. The man seemed broken. There was no face just the silhouette. Where the man's heart should be there was a hole. To the left of the man where family normally appears there were dark shadows with their back to him. On the right where friends normally appear there were only very faint shadows. If you didn't look carefully you would miss them. Above and behind the man where your love interest usually appears there was a man facing sideways but he had a very dark and evil shadow surrounding him. The more puzzling part was there was a glow around the broken man. In the left corner of Lee's dream was a religious figure as if it was protectiong the broken man. Lee is not catholic but knows he has seen this figure but not sure who it was. Lee's grandmother kept pushing the scene towards Lee as if claiming that he needed to fix this. "Who is he Grandma ? How do I find him ?" Lee pleaded in his dream. All she would do was push the scene even closer. "I need your help if you want me to do this." Lee pleaded with her. Lee woke up in a cold sweat. He slid out of bed slowly. The clock said 4:11 a.m. He sat at the desk in the bedroom and wrote out notes on his dream. He turned and watched his lover sleep and a calm came over him realizing how good his life was. The security people were moving around outside so Lee put on a robe and went to the great room. "Everything is fine sir. Just a precaution. Sorry we woke you." the inside guard said. "Not a problem. I was already awake." Lee said. "It has been an active night." the guard said. "Is everything alright ?" Lee asked. "Everything is under control sir." he said.

Lee made a pot of coffee for the guards but his dream still haunted him. One pot of coffee only made one round for the officers so Lee prepared a second pot still lost in his dream. Once the coffee had brewed Lee prepared a cup and sat on the couch. His body automatically relaxed. He had sat where Chris normally sets and could still catch a hint of his lovers calogne. The baby monitor was still on and he heard one of the babies start to cry. He could hear both Paul and Bob struggling to wake up Lee got up and knocked lightly on the door. "Come in." Bob called out. "Hey guys. Let me take this shift." Lee said. " We can handle it. Leyton has had a rough night. Sorry that they woke you up." Paul said. "I was already awake. You two just sleep. I will take both into the great room." Lee said. "Thank you but I don't want to inconvenience you. You go back to sleep." Bob said. "Stop arguing. Lay back down and go back to sleep. Your babies are in safe hands." Lee said. Around 7:30 am Chris made his way into the great room. He walked up behind the rocking chair that Lee was in and kissed him on the top of the head. "Morning baby."
Chris said. "Morning lover. Sleep well ?" Lee asked. "I tried but you were having a very bad night. I started to wake you up but you didn't seem to be too stressed." Chris said. "Sorry about that. It was just a dream." Lee said. "Don't apologize. I was just concerned." Chris said. "Coffee is ready baby." Lee said. "Here give me one of those." Chris said as he walked around the chair and took one of the babies. "Come to Uncle Chris little lady. We need coffee." Chris said as he took Addyson to the kitchen with him. Both men moved to the couch. Each man with their own baby. "You look so natural. Do you want one like this." Chris asked. "Ask me that again around ten after the two little monsters have had a good nights sleep and are trying to burn off the energy from their breakfast." Lee laughed. "Good point." Chris laughed.

"Bring it on mother fucker.... I will kick every ass here... Bring it the fuck on. " Keith whispered as he tossed and turned in bed. "Baby wake up. Your dreaming. I am here please wake up." Brian pleaded. Keith's eyes opened as if he was startled and his fist was clinched. Brian had one hand rubbing his face and the other covering one of Keith's fists. Keith looked around the room but his eyes stopped looking directly into his lovers eyes. "Hey sexy." Keith said as the tension left his body. "Baby you had a bad dream." Brian said. "Sorry if I upset you. I am fine now. Well now that I see you." Keith said. "What was your dream ?" Brian asked. "I was surrounded by a bunch of men in black hoods. They all had guns and I didn't. There were three behind them that had you and was dragging you away. You were screaming for me to help you." Keith said. The door opened quickly and a security guard and one of Keith's deputy friends entered the room scanning it quickly. "He had a bad dream. Everything is fine." Brian said. "Just making sure." the deputy said. "Thank you. But we have this." Brian said. The door bursting open had brought Keith back on the defensive and his body had tensed back up. Brian turned to Keith and took his hand and placed it on the side of his face. "Baby I am here and nothing is going to happen to me. I have you to protect me." Brian said. "I almost lost you." Keith said. "No baby.I almost lost you. If it had not been for your quick actions I may have been hurt too." Brian said. "All I could think was to take the threat away from Brian." Keith said. "Well we are both safe and fine. I do have to say I am sorry though." Bian said. "Sorry for what ?" Keith said. "Your truck. I know you loved that truck." Brian said and lowered his head. Keith reached up and place his hand under Brian's chin. "Baby that truck means nothing to me compared to you. They make new trucks every day. Besides I figured you wanted me to get a neon pink or purple one. " Keith laughed lightly. "Only if you want to ride in it by yourself." Brian laughed.

"Shit this job market has changed." Wayne thought as he filled out online applications. "If I am going to live my last few years in peace I have to get out of here. " he thought. Wayne loved his job but could not stand the pain of being this close to Ronnie and with his expanded circle of friends he knew that he would come in contact with Ronnie even more. "Shit you use to walk in and shake a persons hand and they interviewed you. Now if you don't look good on the "net" then you don't even get considered." Wayne though. "Damn. This job was posted less than an half hour ago and I am number fifty three as an applicant." Wayne thought as he sat back and looked at his computer screen. A few sips of coffee and his screen saver came up. It was the only picture he had of him and Ronnie together. " I have to do something besides this to get a job and get out of Georgia." Wayne thought.

"I hope you know you ruined my weekend." Ronnie's partner said. "How do you figure that ?" Ronnie asked. "You were not on call. I had made plans for you to carry me to the bars with my friends but "NNOO" you had to go play doctor." he said. "Thats my job." Ronnie said. "Well you need to start paying more attention to my needs. Do you know how embarassed I was to show up at the bars without you ?" he said. "You know I hate those bars." Ronnie said. "Thats not the point. I love them and you promised to make me happy." he said. "I have to work. What the hell do you want me to do ?" Ronnie asked. "Well doing what I want, when I want would be a good start. What good is it to have a doctor as a partner if you aren't treated in the manner a doctor should treat you." he said. "Well you may need to go find you a lawyer then." Ronnie said. "No I have a doctor and one way or another "HE" will fall in line." he said. "Don't hold your breath." Ronnie said. "We will see." he said. "I guess we will. I have to go. I have to make rounds." Ronnie said as he headed for the door.

The men were in the dining room eating breakfast when the Sheriff rang the door bell. Alex raced Lee to the door. When the door opened Alex stood there looking at the huge tower of a man in a police uniform. "Wow." was all he could manage. "Come on in. Have you had breakfast ?" Lee asked. "Not yet. Its been a long night. " the Sheriff commented. "Come on in. Babe get the Sheriff a plate and a cup of coffee please. " Lee called out. "Sure thing. Come on in." Chris said. "I can't impose on your breakfast." the Sheriff said. "Well if you look at the table there is plenty for you and half the county so don't argue and eat all you would like." Lee said. The Sheriff sat down and fixed himslef a plate. Alex's eyes were glued to the police man in his uniform. I am not sure if he even blinked. The Sheriff informed the group that they had caught two people stalking Mrs. Ruth's house but were able to surprise them and take them into custody without incident. It had been a long night of interrigation but they were very close to having an answer to this threat. One of the men was what is called a third timer. The threat of life without parole made him realize the more he talked the better his odds were. "This still make take a couple of days but hopefully we can make a huge dent in this threat today." the Sheriff said. "Did it alarm my Mom ?" Lee asked. "She slept right through it. I just told her about what happened before I came here. " he said. "Well I trust you and know that you will get all the information you can." Lee said. "We really appreciate the attention your department has made towards this." Chris said. "Oh don't worry I would quit before I faced Mrs. Ruth and had to tell her I didn't do all I could." the Sheriff said. "I can believe that." Paul said. This brought a round of laughter from all the men.

Lunch was simple. Sandwiches and chips. He was not expected to but Lee was so greatful to the security officers that he felt the need to feed them also. With very little sleep Lee was too tired to cook a meal but would not let the others know how exhausted he was. Two of the security officers had asked if Alex could come out and play. Cody was down for a nap and both babies sound asleep. Bob and Paul took advantage of nap time and lay down themselves. Chris was in the office looking over a couple of files that needed his attention. Lee went into the master bedroom and lay on the chase. He had not realized how tired he was until he dozed off to sleep. Once again his grandmother appeared. The same man and the same scene but there seemed to be some difference. Lee tried frantically in his dream to make mental note of everything. The same scene played over and over in his dreams. "You have to help me find him." he thought to his grandmother. There were more detail in this dream. Lee and his exteneded family were now in the far right corner. The religious figure had a cord in her hand that embraced the broken man, the love interest figure, and also Lee's family and friends which seemed to connect them together. "Who can this be ?" Lee thought. In this vision the broken man's hand was extended slightly with a half a penny in it. "What does a broken penny mean ? " Lee thought. The intensity of the dream woke Lee up and he jotted his additonal notes. Chris came into the bedroom and sat beside Lee. He opened Lee's hand and place a penny in it. "Penny for your thoughts baby." Chris said. Lee looked at the penny and then at his note and all he could see was the phrase "broken penny." and began to cry.

"Baby please don't cry. It was just a joke." Chris said. "Its not that." Lee said. He handed the note pad to Chris. Chris began to read the notes. Not being able to make much sense of it all about half way down the list he looked at Lee. "Dream ?" he asked. "Yes and I can't figure it out." Lee said and turned to stare back out the window. Chris read further and ran across the phrase "broken penny" "Oh shit baby. I am sorry. If I had known I wouldn't have given you the penny." Chris said. "No baby if you had not someone would have. The problem is that his penny is broken and mine is whole." Lee said. "Baby I have no clue what is going on but please talk to me. You never know I may be able to help." Chris pleaded. Lee explained everything he could to Chris that he had seen in his dreams. Chris sat there with his mouth open and not saying a word. "I have to figure this out baby. Please don't be upset with me." Lee said. "I would have been if your Mom had not told me about this but I know you can't control this. Just do me a favor and don't shut me out." Chirs said. "I wont, I promise. I have just never had anyone to talk to this type thing about." Lee said. "Your Grandmother didn't explain any of this ?" Chris asked. "No, I was only eight when she died. I am not sure in these dreams if she gets more frustrated with me or me with her." Lee said. "Does this happen often ?" Chris asked. "It use to. But the past few years it has been very seldom. The first time in about five or six years was when I met Ronnie." Lee said. "Ronnie ?" Chris asked. "Yes I wanted to run. I didn't want to have to deal with dreams again but Ronnie's was not a dream. I was standing looking at him at the reception and I could see the figures around him." Lee said. "Do you think its Wayne ?" Chris asked. "I thought that to begin with but nothing in this even remotly applies to Wayne but I have this aching gut feeling that Ronnie is also connected to this person I am seeing now. I am not sure how but it just seems that the two have some sort of connection even if a brief one. " Lee said.

"Mmmmm baby. The babies are asleep. " Paul moaned as Bob began kissing and licking his way down Paul's body. "I know." Bob laughed as he continued. "Should we be doing this with them in the room? " Paul asked. "Baby I don't think at their age it will corrupt them for their dad's to have sex in the same room. When they are older the thought of their dad's having sex will gross them out. Much less in the same room. " Bob said and continued his tongue assault on Paul. "Do you think us being gay will gross them out ? " Paul whispered. "Think about your parents having sex."
Bob said. "Eeewww." Paul said. "Exactly. It wont matter to them gay or straight." Bob said. "Yeah I see what you mean." Paul said. "Now stop stressing and enjoy." Bob said. "I will when you swing that magic wand around here where I can reach it. This baby needs his passifier to suck on too." Paul said. "Magic wand coming right up." Bob laughed. Bob moved back up and kissed Paul passionatly and then moved to get into a 69 position. Both men were busy licking, sucking and deep throating each other. The moans from each only intensified and only took minutes for both to force thier cocks down their lovers throat as far as they could get them and begin to unload deep in each others throats. Bob moved to kiss Paul deeply mixing both their semen together in each one's mouth. "I love you baby." Bob whispered. "Not as much as I love you." Paul said as they settled together for a quick nap.

"I have to ask a very personal question." Ronnie asked. He and Brian were standing in the hall talking about Keith's condition. "Shoot." Brian said. "When Keith has an orgasm rating it from one to ten how would you say it was in intensity." Ronnie said. Brian had a puzzled look on his face as he tried to figure out how to answer. "Its not a perverted question believe me. But with his head injury and his total body trama I need to know so I can judge when you can begin again according to his healing. " Ronnie said. "Yeah that makes sense. To be honest I would have to say eleven or twelve. Ten just doesn't get it. The first time we had sex I watched his face turn red, the veins pop out on his neck and the depth of his moan actually worried me. There have been some that were even more intense." Brian said blushing. "Well I will need your help because if he tries too soon it can severly affect his recovery." Ronnie said. "Well Doc. that thing wont spit until you say its alright. I promise." Brian said. Both men laughed as they chatted and then Brian froze. "Oh shit" he said. "What is it ?" Ronnie asked. "Look down the hall. That little lady in the middle of that group headed this way is Lee's Mom, Mrs. Ruth." Brian said. "Well I will let you go so you can visit." Ronnie said. "Oh no hell you don't. You are staying. Come on." Brian said as he grabbed Ronnie's hand and led him back into Keith's room.

"Whats up Babe ?" Keith asked while Ronnie laughed. "You will see soon enough." Brian said as he sat beside Keith's bed. The door opened and Brian wanted to run. "How is our patient today ?" Mrs. Ruth asked. "Hello Mrs. Ruth. I made it so thats all that matters." Keith said. "I can't thank you enough for preotecting my family. Hello Brian its good to see you again." she said. "Good to see you too Mrs. Ruth." Brian said. "Mrs. Ruth. This is my doctor Ronnie. He is good friends with Wayne." Keith said. Keith laughed a little. "What was that for ?" Brian asked. "I am sorry Mrs. Ruth but its a little uncomfortable seeing two of you standing there." Keith said. "Two ?" she asked. "The trama to his brain has caused temporary double vision." Ronnie said. "Well don't tell my family there are two of me. I don't think they could take that." She said and laughed. "It should only be temporary." Ronnie said. "So you know Lee and Keith's friend Wayne ?" she asked. "Yes we are friends. He is the one that called me about getting here to take care of Keith.:" Ronnie said. "Well if you are friends with Wayne you have accomplished something most can't. He is one in a million. He has been a great friend to Lee over the years. He doesn't know it but he works for one of my companies and I make sure he is treated well and paid very well so he doesn't run off." she said. "I didn't know you owned that company." Keith said. "And you still don't. Lee and his brother don't know so I trust this is our secret." she said. "They wont hear it from me." Keith said. "Good man. I knew I liked you. Even when you were a dirty faced little brat." she said. This caused all of them to laugh. "The main reason I am here is to thank you in person for saving my son and his family. The second reason is I hear your truck was totaled." she said. "That was my fault." Brian said. "It was not your fault baby. As long as you are safe that truck means nothing. " Keith said. "Well I have had Dean contact the local dealership. When you are able to they are expecting you there to pick out a new truck or whatever you want and send me the bill." she said. "I can't do that Mrs. Ruth." Keith said. "I have to talk to my insurance agent and then I will go from there. Besides I think Brian will be driving for a while." Keith said. "I want take no for an answer. And the dealership has been instructed to not let you leave unless the vehicle has every available option. So no picking the cheapest on the lot or I will pick it for you." she said. "You don't need to do this Mrs. Ruth." Keith said. "I do a lot of things I don't need to do. Besides I am 81 years old. I can't take it with me. Plus this truck will not hurt Lee or his brother. There will be enough left for each to take at least a nice vacation." she said. "Well thank you Mrs. Ruth. I greatly appreciate it. I will give you the insurance check." Keith said. "No son you take that money and take Brian somewhere special. This one is on me." she said. "Get well soon. I look forward to seeing you both around the house. It was nice meeting you Ronnie and thank you for taking good care of Keith. When you see Wayne tell him I said hello. Remember he is a rare gem. " she said as she turned and left the room. "Damn that was unexpected. She is a super sweet lady but seeing two of her was a little alarming." Keith said. "Hell seeing one of her scares the hell out of me." Brian said. Keith and Ronnie both laughed but not Brian. "She said there would be enough for each of her sons to take a nice vacatio. More like each buy theor own vacation island." Keith said. "Well I figured she must have a coin or two to have all this security and buy you a truck." Ronnie said. "You have no clue. And no she doesn't know about you and Wayne so that was not planned." Brian said. "Speak for yourself. Doc. here needs to hear an unbiost opinion of Wayne. " Keith said.

"Another miserable day. At least that lady that dropped her bags was kind and gave me a dollar for helping her. I need something to eat but that dollar looks mighty good towards a bus ticket. I can last another day. $2.12. I wonder how much a ticket costs. At thsi rate I may get out of here in a month" the tired and ragged man thought. " I need to go to the motel dumpster. Maybe they threw out some more soap, shampoo and razors." he thought as he stood and started slowly down the street towards one of the motels. Once there he found soap, deoderant, toothpaste and an unopen pack of crackers. The man looked towards heaven and with a tear in his eyes he mouthed the words. "Thank you." "Half the crackers today and half tomorrow and I can save even more." he thought. The man sat under the edge of the bridge and eating only three of the crackers he could not have been happier if a seven course meal was placed in front of him.

"Make mine to go"
Chapter 46

It has been a month since the threat to Lee's family occured Keith was in the hospital for two weeks but was able to go home with limited activity. Its funny to see Bob and Paul with the babies. Though Paul is home with them all day its tough to see which one is the mother hen. The comforting thing is they do not argue about the children. They seem to think as one when it comes to the babies. It was quite commical but Keith's first truck was rejected. The dealer called Dean before delivery and Dean said no. So Keith had to pick a much nicer truck. The insurance company had settled with Chris on Lee's SUV. To Chirs' surprise Lee wanted one exactly like the one that was wrecked. Lee said that he had loved that one especially since Chris picked it out and that he didn't want something different or even different color as a reminder every day of what happened. Lee wanted things as close as possible to what it was before this happened.

Four days after that scary night the threat was revealed. There was an individual that had run a major ponzi scheme. It was about to fold and he had tried to embezzle money in an attempt to take over one of Mrs.Ruth's business interests. Her CPA caught the fraud and the man was on the verge of loosing everything and going to prison. He spent some of his ill earned gains to try to force Mrs. Ruth into hiding so that he could get away. It came to light that he also figured if his threat was strong enough that Mrs. Ruth would drop her legal action and run and hide. Boy was he surprised. There is no fear from him anymore since all assets were frozen by the IRS he even had to ask for a public defender. His attorney would not even touch the case becasue there was no money to get paid. Life had returned to its normal hustle and bustle. The dreams still haunted Lee. He was still clueless as to who was presented to him in his dreams. He was convinced that Ronnie was involved in this even if it was just be a hint to who this may be.

Fall was in the air and the days had cooled and nights become chilly. "Morning sexy. Did you sleep well ?" Chris whispered as he pulled Lee even closer. "With you in the bed every nights sleep is a good one." Lee said. "You charmer. I bet you say that too all your men." Chris said as he hugged Lee tighter. "I do. I tell you that and when Alex and Cody end up in our bed I tell them that too. I am too old to handle more than three men." Lee laughed. "What are your plans today ?" Chris asked. "I have a few invoices to get sent out and then don't forget all the guys are coming for dinner. Its funny. Ronnie told Keith he could drive earlier this week but he wont tell Brian. He is forcing Brian to drive his new truck some so that he isn't scared to drive it." Lee said. "Those two are just too funny." Chris said. "Oh and don't forget to call Ronnie today and make sure he is coming too." Lee said. "Is his parnter coming ?" Chris asked. "I don't think so but from what I understand from Wayne I would like to meet this guy. It sounds like he is a real piece of work." Lee said. "Is Wayne coming ?" Chris asked. "No I wouldn't do that to him. He is coming up tomorrow night and we are taking him out to eat." Lee said. "I knew that. I just wondered if he would be here tonight too." Chris asked. "Alright sexy. Get that cute ass in gear. You have to meet with your future mother in law today. She is coming to town to meet with Bob remember?" Lee said. "Can i call in sick ?" Chris laughed. "Not today sexy. You know she is coming by here. I doubt she will stay but I am going to invite her to stay for dinner." Lee said. "Thats right. She has never been to this house before." Chris said. "Well her companies main office is only a couple of miles from here so she is going there too. " Lee said. "Guess I need to look my best then." Chris laughed.

The office visit to Chris went smoothly. Pamela was so stressed when she found out Lee's Mom was coming she wanted to go home herself. Lee's Mom stayed for about twenty minutes and got a tour of the offices. "She was a charming lady. I don't see why she scares you so bad." Pamela said. "She defiantly is a charming lady but that little woman also packs a mighty powerful punch when she wants too." Chris laughed. At the house Lee and his Mom sat in the living room and chatted while the boys took turns climbing all over their new Grandmother. Cody was the funniest. Mrs Ruth had picked him up to get a goodbye kiss and hug claiming she already had other plans for dinner so she needed to head home. Cody turned towards Lee. With one arm around Mrs. Ruth's neck he waved and told Lee "bye, bye." "Sorry munchkin you have to stay here with me." Lee said as he took Cody from Mrs. Ruth. This was the first time that Cody have ever cried after someone. Chris and Lee came closer than they knew to loosing one little boy for the night.

Dinner was almost ready as the guests began to arrive. Keith and Brian were the first to arrive to see if they could help prepare. Ronnie was the last to arrive but he was still early. Chris entertained all but Lee and Brian in the living room. Well lets just say that the twins and Alex and Cody did the entertaining. Ronnie held both the twins at different times and assured Paul that they seemed to be in perfect health. Paul's concern was their size. He had seen other babies that were larger at the same age. Ronnie assured him it was common for twins to be smaller at that age. Everyone took their places at the table and the prayer was said. "We are sorry your partner was not able to be with you Ronnie." Chris said. "Don't be sorry. I looked forward to a meal in peace." Ronnie said. "You call this peaceful ?" Lee laughed. "Believe it or not . Yes." Ronnie said. Lee kept looking at Ronnie and could not get the images out of his head from his dreams. He wanted badly to talk to Ronnie about it but was scared that like many others it would freak Ronnie out. "You alright baby ? You haven't eaten a thing hardly." Chris whispered. "I am fine. I just can't shake these images." Lee said. "Talk to him about it." Chris said. "And be labeled the freak of Atlanta. I think not." Lee said. "He wouldn't do that." Chris said. "Been down this road a few times. I will know when the time is right." Lee said. "Alright you two. We are trying to eat and you two are talking dirty to each other at the table." Keith laughed. "You are just upset because you are still can't get any. " Chris laughed. "Soon buddy. Very soon." Keith said. "How does it feel driving again ?" Ronnie asked. "Uummm." Keith hesitated. "Driving ?" Brain said as he sat back and looked at Keith. "Oh I told him earlier this week he could start driving again." Ronnie said. "Oh you did , huh ?" Brian said. "Baby I wanted you to get comfortable driving my truck. You still think its your fault.PLus as long as you drive I can look at you and not have to watch the road." Keith said. "Excuses, excuses. You just wanted me to keep spoiling you." Brian laughed. "Well that too." Keith admitted. "I guess we will have to wait until next week then. If you were doing fine driving and no complications I had planned to lift your other restrictions tonight." Ronnie said as he winked at Bob. The look on Keith's face brought a round of laughter from all the men. "Hold up. I can go drive now. I will be back and you can lift my restrictions." Keith said. "Too late. We will revisit it next week." Ronnie said. "See what you get for fibbing ?" Brian laughed.

The table was cleared and Chris, Bob and Lee were finishing the kitchen. Lee stood looking at Ronnie as he chatted with Brian. "Where are you at buddy ?" Bob asked. Not realizing that he had zoned out Lee turned quickly to the sink. "I'm here are we almost done ?" Lee said. Bob looked at Chris and he shook his head no as if to leave it alone. "I will be right back. I need to change my shirt." Lee said. After leaving the room Bob walked over to Chris. "Is he alright ?" Bob asked. "Yeah I am not sure if Paul told you about our conversation with Mrs. Ruth or not." Chris said. "Well most of it I think." Bob said. "Well did Paul tell you about Lee's Grandmother." Chris asked. "Yes. I think its neat but Paul said that it freaks Lee out for people to know so I just stayed quiet." Bob said. "It does. I don't know why but then again I have never been in his situation. He had been having dreams for almost a month. One of his dreams is about Ronnie and his situation." Chris said. "Dreams ?" Bob asked. "Well I call them dreams. I am not exactly sure what they are. But he can see Ronnie's life situation surrounding him and he can't shake it. There is another guy in the dream that is even more concerning and Lee feels that Ronnie is connected somehow. I told him to talk to Ronnie but he almost freaked out." Chris said. "I think Ronnie would be fine. Should we talk to him ?" Bob asked. "Hell no. I have learned there are some things you don't try to fix for Lee. I never want that side of him aimed at me. I have to let him deal with this his own way." Chris said. "Well I don't want to see what you saw aimed at me either then." Bob laughed.

"How is Keith doing ?" Ronnie asked. "He is doing great. He hasn't had any double vision in almost three weeks and I think he has taken maybe two of the pills you gave him for headaches." Brian said. "Well the driving part was only a poor joke. When was his last headache ?" Ronnie asked. "Well he had one yesterday but he said it was sinuses and took a sinus pill and it was gone in minutes." Brian said. "Has it been a week since he took a prescription pill for headache ?" Ronnie asked. "Probably longer than that." Brian said. "Are you sure he isn't taking them without you knowing ?" Ronnie asked. "We are talking about Keith. He doesn't even know where they are. If he needs one he has to ask me to get one for him. " Brian laughed. "Well I knew you would not believe him if I had told him but since he hasn't had to have any of the meds. in over a week I am lifting his restrictions." Ronnie said. "Oh God.. Are you sure ?" Brian said beeming. "Yes but don't tell him until later. I will let this be your gift to him. I will say though if he needs something for a headache afterwards then I need to know." Ronnie said. "Oh thank you so much. I am so excited." Brian said. "Well don't let on until later. This can be your payback for the driving thing." Ronnie laughed. "I Like the way you think. Thank you for everything Ronnie. We owe you so much." Brian said as he hugged Ronnie.

Paul walked up as Brian had finished his hug. "Alright you two. You are suppose to be mingling. Here your turn to mingle with Leyton." Paul said as he handed the infant to Brian. Alex had followed Paul and stood with his arm wrapped around Brian's leg looking up at Ronnie. "Unca Brian is he a doctor ?" Alex asked. "Yes little buddy. This is Doctor Ronnie he is the one that fixed Uncle Keith." Brian said. Still holding onto and peering aournd Brian's leg Alex looked at Ronnie. "Mr. Doctor. Did you give Uncle Keith a shot ?" Alex asked. "Your Uncle Keith was very sick so he had to have a shot." Ronnie said. "Oh." Alex said. Brian squatted so that he was more on Alex's level. Without taking his eyes off Ronnie Alex moved his arm from Brian's leg to his shoulder. "Do you give little boy's shots ?" Alex asked. "No little buddy. Not unless they are really, really sick." Ronnie said as he squatted to Alex's level also. "You pomise ?" Alex said. "I promise little buddy. I only give little boys shots if they are really sick and have to have it." Ronnie said. Alex hesitated for a minute and then walked slowly over to Ronnie. He wrapped his arms arounds Ronnie's neck and whispered. "I like you Mr. Doctor." Ronnie picked the small boy up and when he turned Alex was all grins. "Pop I like Mr. Doctor he doesn't give little boys shots." Alex shouted. "Don't worry in a week or so you will be Uncle Ronnie." Brain said laughing.

"Oh no buddy. Ronnie said you could drive so here you take the keys." Brian said as they headed to Keith's truck. "I hope you aren't mad. I swear I was going to tell you. I just wanted you to be comfortable driving my truck. You only drove my other one once and that didn't go well. " Keith said. "I forgive you but no more secrets. " Brian said. "I promise baby." Keith said as he kissed Brian and took the keys. "Well I have a small secret but I will have to tell you later." Brian said. "Well I owe you that one." Keith said. Back at Brian's apartment he had excused himself to prepare before he revealed his secret. Keith was in the living room watching the news. "I'm headed to bed baby." Brian called out. Keith turned out the lights and made sure the doors were locked. When he entered the bedroom Brian was in the bed with the covers pulled up. Since the accident they had not slept nude because it was too tough on Keith. Keith went into the master bath to brush his teeth. Brian was so excited about his surprise that he almost wanted to shout for Keith to hurry up.

Keith walked to the bed and began to remove his shirt. Brian pulled the covers back to reveal his naked body. "I'm lonely baby. Hurry up." Brian said with a seductive voice. "Oh I see. Now I get punished for the driving thing." Keith whinned. "Come here baby. I have a secret to tell you." Brian said. Keith slowly got in the bed stopping to run his hand up and down Brian's body before he leaned over for a kiss."One day soon I am going to prove to you just how sexy you are and how much you turn me on." Keith said. "Still want to know my secret ?" Brian whispered. "Anytime baby." Keith whispered. Brian had seen Keith's cock go from flacid to raging hard in only seconds through Keith's boxers when he opened the covers. "Well my secret is that Ronnie said that your restrictions are lifted." Brian whispered. "Your fucking kidding right ? " Keith said. "No that is what he and I were talking about when Alex came over. You are free baby." Brian said. "Fuckin' A. Time to tear that sweet ass of yours apart. I have dreamed of this every minute since I woke up in the hospital." Keith said. "Well I am all yours baby. Prove to me how much you have missed this sweet ass." Brian whispered. Keith almost lost his balance trying to remove his boxers. "Baby your restrictions don't come back in five minutes." Brian said. "I know but I plan on cumming deep in my babies ass for the first time tonight within five minutes." Keith said. "Five minutes ?" Brian said. "Yep Babe but I said for the "first" time remember." Keith smiled

Keith began kissing Brian and then moved to his neck. As he moved his body so that he was between Brian's legs Brian raised his legs and wrapped them around Keith's lower back. "No baby turn over. I need to see Keith junior sliding into that sweet ass. I know then I am well."Keith whispered. Brian realeased Keith and within seconds he was on his stomach. "Mmmmmmm.. this is the sexiest ass on the sexiest man I have ever seen." Keith whispered. "Its your baby but hurry and reclaim it. I need you inside me. Its been too long." Brian said. "I have to savor this for a second. I have dreamed of it every minute of every day for a month." Keith said. Keith took the head of his raging cock and covered it with lube. He slide his cock up and down the crack of Brian's ass. "Oh baby I am going to stretch this sweet ass wide open." Keith whispered. "If you don't hurry your restrictions will come back." Brian whinned. "Oh no baby. Never again." Keith said as he slipped the head of cock into Brian's ass. Brian had tried to stay loose during the month but without the real thing it just wasn't the same. A sharp pain rushed through his body for only a second. Brian raised his head back and let out a low moan. Keith reached around Brian's neck and kept his head up as he lowered his body onto Brian inching his cock further in as he moved. "Half way there baby. God I love this ass." Keith whispered. As Keith's massive dick bottomed out in Brian's ass his lips landed on Brian's neck. Keith held his lips on Brian's neck gently kissing as he pounded into Brian's ass. "Baby its time for more lube for my big cock for round two." Keith whispered. Within a minute Keith locked his lips on Brian's neck and began to suck while his body went frigid. Keith dug his toes in the bed tryiong to get even further in his lover while he dumped a month worth of cum deep inside Brian. "Oh fuck baby. I am cured." Keith whispered. Keith raised up enough that he could turn Brian on his back without pulling his cock out. The feel of Keith's cock messaging his prostate as he turned over caused Brian's cock to empty its month long load. As he turned his cock shot ropes of cum all over the bed and then both his chest and Keith's. "Yep thats my baby. No hands." Keith said as he lowered his body back onto Brian's and began a long and deep passionate kiss. The two made slow passionate love for almost an hour. Brian was woken to a surprise two more times during the night with Keith slowly sliding his hard cock back inside his lover for a slow comfortable fuck. "I am cured baby. It feels so good." Brian whispered. "Welcome back baby." Brian whispered.

"Why me lord ?" the ragged man cried as he took an old news paper to wipe the blood from his face."He was dressed nice." he said. "I had $12.40. Thats not much God but it was a start to get me out. He took it all. Even my ragged shoes." the man cried. On his way back to his space under the bridge the homeless man encountered a couple of thugs. For their entertainment they had beat the man cleaned out his pockets and even took his shoes. "God I have trusted you and still do but why do you not want me to leave. I don't understand." he cried. Reaching his perch under the bridge the man drifted off to sleep to dreams of the life he once had. The big family meals, his own home, a small business and a new vehicle. Sleep was not easy but the man knew that the weather was getting colder and the next day would be back to square one. His only solice was that he was not new to the streets this time. "I am strong. I will survive." he thought as he dozed back off to sleep.

Lee could not sleep. His dream seemed almost desperate. " I need help." he cried. Slipping out of bed Lee took a blanket and lay on the chase looking out the window. Wide awake the dreams were still real. They played out in front of him as if he were watching television. "I can't do this. I just can't. I don't know who to help." he thought. He felt a breeze on his back realizing the back of the blanket had been lifted. He felt the body heat before Chris ever touched him. Chris wrapped his arm around Lee resting his hand on his chest lightly storking Lee's chest hair. "Everything alright baby ?" Chris whispered. "Just these dreams." Lee said. "I thought so. Just remember I am here and I love you." Chris whispered. "I love you too baby. Go back to sleep. I will be fine." Lee said. Moments later he felt the warm breath on the back of his neck and knew that his lover had fallen back to sleep. As he looked back out the window the images, but these with pain and blood, came racing back. The pain brought tears to Lee's eyes.

Thanks KY. I hope you are still enjoying.

Here is the next chapter. I hope you enjoy.


"Make mine to go"
Chapter 47

"Hey buddy come on in. I hope traffic wasn't bad." Chris said to Wayne as he hugged his friend. "Traffic wasn't bad. It was a fairly nice drive." Wayne said. "Come on in Wayne. We planned to take the boys to Piedmont Park for a picnic and hope that you would enjoy it too." Lee called from the kitchen. "Sounds good to me. Its been years since I have been to Piedmont." Wayne said. Alex came running around the corner arms extended screaming "Unca Wayne." Bags dropped quickly to catch the flying child Wayne was greeted with a big hug and a kiss. Cody stood in the doorway just smiling. "Yeah you are next little man." Wayne said to Cody. "I am glad you are staying tonight too." Chris said. "Well I brought clothes just in case." Wayne said. "Settled then. You are staying." Chris laughed. "What can I do to help ?" Wayne asked. "Just help Chris get the boys ready. I have most of the food packed already." Lee said. "Hello" Lee said as he answered his cell phone. "What are you guys up to today ?" Paul asked. "Wayne just got here and we are going to take the boys to Piedmont Park to play and have a picnic." Lee said. "That sounds wonderful. I may talk Bob in to coming to the park. I have been wanting to try out the twin stroller." Paul said. "Who is that ?" Chris whispered. "Paul" Lee mouthed without speaking. "Why don't you guys come join us in the park. I don't think Wayne will mind." Chris called out loud enough for Paul to hear. "Oh we wouldn't do that." Paul said. "Look buddy. You know me well enough by now to know I have packed enough food to feed the park. Besides Chris and Wayne may need help from Bob keeping up with these two munchkins. I did the food so they have chasing children duty." Lee said laughing. "Bob we are going to Piedmont for a picnic so get dressed." Paul called out. "You sure he wants to go ?" Lee asked. "Oh he is fine. If not he will get over it. " Paul said and both men laughed. "See you there in a couple of hours then." Lee said.

"Morning sexy." Keith said as he kissed Brian's shoulder. "Mmmmm... very good morning sexy." Brain said. "What do you want to do today ?" Keith asked. "Fuck" Brian said. "I think I can handle that. What do you want to do after that ?" Keith asked. "Oh probably fuck some more." Brian said. Keith reached down and lighly ran his finger over Brian's ass. "You are a bit swollen baby. Sorry. Are you sure you are up to it again ?" Keith asked. "Baby swollen and tendor makes me realize just how much more I love you." Brian said. "Really though. What do you want to do ?" Keith asked. "I told you. Fuck. What I really want to do today is put my lover in the shower and wash him off and not allow him to put on any clothes all day. That way when I want to climb on and ride I don't have to wait to get home or even remove his clothes." Brian said. "Your wish is my command sexy." Keith said. " I still can't believe that you love me and think I am sexy." Brian whispered. "Well never doubt it and "yes"." Keith said. "Yes?" Brain asked. "Yes I plan to marry you. Yes I plan to make you the happiest man on earth every day for the rest of my life." Keith said. "As long as I can do the same for you." Brian said. "Speaking of getting married. When do you want to do this ?" Keith said. "I wanted to wait until Chris and Lee set a date. I felt sorry for Lee when Bob and Paul jumped up and got married. " Brian said. "Look baby. I have known Lee my whole life. He was happy for them. It didn't upset him. I understand you saying that but believe me he will be happy." Keith said. "You just want to jump to the honeymoon night." Brian said. "Well I plan on practicing a lot to make sure I get it right. Any objections ?" Keith asked. "As long as I am the only one you practice with." Brian laughed. "Oh well. I can change my plans then." Keith said. Brian rolled over and began to tickle and tussle with Keith. "I'll change your plans alright buddy." Brian laughed. Keith's cell phone rang. "Hello" Keith said breathless. "Hey buddy. You could have finished and then called me back." Chris laughed. "Don't worry its been a busy night. Brian has slacked up a little. He is up to two minutes now ?" Keith said. "Two minutes ?" Chris laughed. "Yeah it took about ten hours but he finally gives me two minutes to recover and get hard again or he pouts." Keith said. "KEITH." Brain screamed. "Hurry buddy. I guess that was my one minute warning." Keith laughed. "Wayne is here and Bob and Paul are meeting us at Piedomnt Park for a picnic and wanted to see if you guys wanted to come." Chris said lauging. "Normally we would love too but my baby told me that he wanted to wash me good and keep me naked all day so that we wouldn't have to get home or have to worry about clothes. He could just climb on and ride anytime he wanted." Keith said. "KEITH." Brian screamed. By this time he was struggling just to keep the phone from Brian. "Sounds like my kind of day buddy. Make you a deal. You enjoy your day and then one day soon we will send you two the boys and I can have that type of day myself. " Chris said. "Sounds like a plan. We would be glad too anytime. Just remeber once we start having ours you will need to return the favor. " Keith laughed. "Deal."

"Do you mind watching the boys while Lee and I take a quick shower ?" Chris asked. "Sure, take your time. This will be fun." Wayne said. "Come on babe. Lets get our shower real quick." Chris said. "Buu..." Lee started. The look from Chris meant he had a trick up his sleeves. Lee was fully aware that both he and Chris had already had their morning showers. "What are you up to mister ?" Lee asked as he enter the master bedroom. "Hearing Keith and Brian's plans for the day got me so damn hot I just had to get my hands on your body." Chris whispered. "Phone sex with Keith, huh ?" Lee laughed. "Not quite but I did make him promise to keep the boys soon so I could have the same type day he is having today." Chirs said. "Oh and what type day did Keith say he was having ?" Lee asked as he began to unbutton Chris' shirt. "All he said was that Brian wanted to wash him clean and keep him naked all day so that he could set down and ride anytime he wanted." Chris said lifting Lee's face and kissing him deeply. The shower started both men moved under the hot running water still locked in a deep kiss. Since they had both showered earlier there was no need for soap. Lee pulled away from the kiss and began to kiss his way down Chris' body. Once he had reached his prize Lee opened wide and slowly took Chris' raging cock all the way down until his nose rested in Chris' pubic hair. "Oh shit baby." Chris said as he leaned back against the shower wall. Moans were coming from deep down inside Chris as Lee attacked his cock as if it were his last meal. "Oh baby.. I .. amm... cloosee." Chris whispered. Lee began to hum a high pitched note and all Chirs could do was grab Lee's head and hold on as his body vibrated while he sprayed his load deep down Lee's throat. Lee licked his way back up Chris' cock and then back up Chris' body until he reached his lips. "Better than phone sex with Keith ?" Lee whispered. "Oh baby. Keith don't even come close." Chris said. Chris started by nibbling on Lee's neck and worked his way down to his chest. He took extra time kissing, licking and then nibbling on each nipple. This alone almost drove Lee over the edge. Chris licked his way down Lee's hairy body until he was face to face with his prize. Chris darted his tongue out touching the tip of Lee's cock and then retracting. He leaned forward and took only the mushroom of Lee's dick in his mouth. "Oh fuck baby you taste so sweet." Chris said. Chris reached his hand between Lee's legs and began to play with Lee's rosebud. He circled it with his finger and on every third trip around he would take and dart his finger in and out of Lee's ass quickly. "Oh shit baby that is too hot. I am about to explode. " Lee gasped. Chris deep throated Lee's cock a couple of times and on the third time down he quickly shoved two fingers in Lee's ass and began to finger fuck him as fast as he could. Lee came to his tip toes. "OOOoooohhhh
fffuuuuccckkk..." Lee called out as he began to dump his load deep in Chris' throat. "Mmmmm..
Chris said. Damn baby I can't stand it. Your cum is addictive. " Chris said as he stood and took Lee into a deep kiss. Both men came back down off their high tasting each others cum and the mixture of the two with the kiss. "Remind me to put Keith on speed dial." Lee laughed.

The park was perfect. It was a beautiful fall day. The weather was amazing and I am not sure which of the five kids had the most fun. When I refer to kids I mean Alex, Cody, Chris, Bob and Wayne. Alex ran, screamed and giggled for a full three hours. Cody just ran. He didn't care if he was part of the group or not. I enjoy people watching and there is no better place in Atlanta than Piedmont Park. "I can't wait until we can run around with Leyton and Addyson like that." Paul said as he and I sat under a shade tree watching the kids play. Yes kids, even the grown ones. "Don't worry buddy once they take their first steps you will wish for the days that a stroller would keep them in place. " Lee said. "I know. There have been some tough times especially with two but I have loved every minute of it. I am so greatful to you. " Paul said. "Look buddy. I just knew who to call. You and Bob did the rest so its all you. Not me." Lee said. "Well you know that Keith and Brian will be hunting that number pretty soon too probably. " Paul said. "I know. I want to be there when Mrs. Gladys meets Keith." Lee laughed. "Yeah I would buy a ticket to that one." Paul said. "Oh she will love him to death. She will just have to make him do it her way instead of his. " Lee laughed. " I hate to bring up a bad subject but Chris told me the dreams were getting worse." Paul said. "It just gets so frustrating because I have no clue which way to go." Lee said. "Well remember if you do figure it out and you need Bob's help all you have to do is ask." Paul said. "And have to explain myself to him. No thanks." Lee laughed. "Well don't be mad but he knows." Paul said. "Oh shit. Now I have a lawyer that thinks I am a froot loop." Lee said. "No buddy he doesn't. I am sorry but we don't keep secrets and when we started talking about mine and Chris' talk with your Mom I couldn't be honest with him without telling." Paul said. "Well he was bound to find out since you and Chris know. It just gives me more time to prove to him I am not insane." Lee said. "Lee he thinks its neat. Just like me. We both love you too much to ever think you are crazy. Well except right now. See what your man just did ? " Paul laughed. "You spoke too soon. Look at your babies' daddy." Lee laughed. "What's Brian's phrase. Can't take him out in pulic." Paul said as both men laughed. "But seriously Bob doesn't think its nuts. He believes in this stuff just never has known anyone that could do it." Paul said. "Well he still doesn't. Like I told Chris. My Grandmother died when I was eight and never explained how I am suppose to read this crap. It really gets frustrating." Lee said. "Well can you cut it off or block it out ?" Paul asked. "In a cemetary." Lee said. "A what?" Paul asked. "If it really gets bad all I have to do is enter a cemetary. The Indian spirit world will not desicrate sacred ground." Lee said. "Damn." Paul answered.

Chris left to take the boys to Pamela's. We had invited Wayne to Atlanta to take him out to a nice dinner partially as a thank you for all he did for us. Plus it was a way to get him out of the house. "Where are we going ?" Wayne asked. "There is a nice little place that Chris and I go to a lot. Its not real fancy or expensive but the food is out of this world. That is unless you had rather go somewhere else." Lee said. "Oh no I don't care. Just wondered if I was dressed alright." Wayne said. "Jeans and Polo are how I plan to travel." Lee said. "Sounds perfect." Wayne said. Chris returned and the men loaded into the Chris' Suv. Its a little smaller and no car seats. Chris gave Wayne and Lee a tour of the architecture of downtown Atlanta . He pointed out some of the unique sky scraper designs that he had either designed or helped to design. Each building at night seemed to make its own statement and each seemed to be designed to out show the one next to it. They turned onto Peachtree Street headed towards their destination. Each block Chris drove Lee's chest seemed to get tighter and was become difficult to breath. They had traveled about four blocks. "STOP. Stop the truck." Lee shouted. Chris was stunned. Whats wrong ?" Chris asked. "Stop the fucking truck." Lee shouted. Lee was deseperatly trying to get the seatbelt undone. Before Chris could completely stop Lee had the door open and jumped out. "Oh shit." Chris gasped. "I got him. You park." Wayne said and jumped out to follow Lee. Lee slowly walked down the street as if he were hunting a clue or trying to pick up a scent. "What going on Lee ?" Wayne asked. "He is here Wayne. He is close." Lee said. About that time Chris came running down the side walk. "He said he is here." Wayne said. "Who is here ?" he asked. "Damn. His dreams. The guy must be close. Hell I don't know. He scared the shit out of me." Chris said. Lee walked along the block slowly not wanting to miss anything. The further down he went the more the image faded. The group crossed the street and started back towards where it all began but on the other side of the street. Lee looked closely at everyone he met and especially the homeless and pandhandlers.

Lee slowed and stopped in the middle of the sidewalk and looked at a shadow in the corner of the doorway of a closed shop. He stood there as if watching an outdoor 3D movie as the figures he had seen for so long danced around the crouching man. Lee moved forward and squatted. Chris moved quickly to grab Lee but Wayne stopped him. "He has to do this his way." Wayne whispered. "Hello kind sir. My name is Lee." Lee said softly. "I have nothing to give you. They took it all last night.:" he said. "Sir I am not here to take anything from you. I hope I am here to help." Lee said. "You seem to be a kind man. It's not safe to approach homeless people on the street. You can get hurt really bad that way." the man said. "I appreciate your concern but I have only approached you." Lee said. "Lee you seem to be a very upstanding man but I don't need your charity." the man said. "I haven't offered you charity. It may sound crazy but I feel like I was sent to find you. " Lee said. "I am sorry Lee. Even though I am gay I don't turn tricks. " the man said. "Oh no you misunderstand. This big oath beside me is my fiancee Chris. We only play with each other." Lee siad. The ragged man looked up for the first time to make sure that Lee had a Chris with him. This man beside my fiancee is a friend of ours Wayne. He came to town for us to carry him to dinner." Lee said. "You are a fine looking group of men. Nice to meet you. My name is Kyle. Enjoy your dinner. It is a beautiful night. " he said. "I would be honored if you joined us." Lee said. "I knew this was coming." Kyle said. "What was coming ?" Lee asked. By this time Chris' heart was about to pound out of his chest. He had pulled his phone out ready to hit the panic button on it that would bring the security army running. "Did Lee's Mom tell you that he was an expert at reading people ?" Wayne whispered. "Yes but..." Chris tried. "But nothing. It is one tired and hungry man against three so chill and leave Lee alone." Wayne said. "I don't accept charity. You see I have no cup to try to panhandle. I make my own way." Kyle said. The traffic on the sidewalk was fairly busy and Lee sat Indian style on the sidewalk in front of the man. Chris moved to one side and Wayne on the other to deflect the foot traffic. "I am not offering charity. I don't need to do this to make me sleep easier. I don't need to prove anything to my God or anyone else for that matter. What I am offering is not charity." Lee said. "Why would you want to have dinner with me ?" Kyle asked.

Lee sat for a minute trying to decide how to approach this. He had gone thorugh too much and lost too much sleep to just walk away. "Can I be honest with you ?" Lee asked. "Honesty is the best policy." Kyle said. "First I know that you use to have a good life. You had family and friends that were always close. You had someone that you either risked everything or spent everything you had on for some reason." Lee said. "Who sent you ?' Kyle asked. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you." Lee said. "Well when I stepped onto the street I was debt free so if they think I have more to give go back and tell them to fuck themselves." Kyle said. "It's nothing like that. If that had been the case I would have told them to find you their fucking self." Lee said. That statement brought them man out of his shell a little more. The men standing saw the change. "Told you." Wayne whispered. "You may think I am crazy, insane, off my rocker or just fucking stupid. But I would really love to, better yet I would be honored if you would share your story. And no I am not a writer or reporter. I don't have the imagination or the vocabulary." Lee said laughing. "You don't want to hear my tale of woes. Besides its my cross to bare." Kyle said. "Remember friend even Jesus had help carrying his cross."Lee said. He saw a tear come to the mans eyes. Lee was really surprised. The man was fairly clean to be on the street and had no strong odor. "Will you join us for dinner ?" Lee asked. "I am not a charity case." Kyle said. "Kyle will you answer me a question honestly ?" Chris asked. Lee tensed up thinking Chris was about to ruin everything. "As honest as I can." Kyle said. "When was the last time you sat down with friends and had a full meal ?" Chris asked. "A full meal probably three months. With firends. Sometime last year. But I am fine. Thanks anyway." Kyle said. "When is your Birthday ?" Wayne asked. "December, why ?" Kyle asked. "Well I wont be here in December so this isn't charity. Its and early Birthday dinner." Wayne said. "You guys don't give up do you ?" Kyle said. "You have no idea how hard headed my fiancee is. I just say yes honey." Chris laughed. "As if." Lee said. "Make you a deal. We will tell you our story over dinner and if you think its freaky enough then you can grace us with yours." Lee said. "I need a good story tonight." Kyle said. Lee stood and reached out his hand towards the man. "Come on buddy. We have a Birthday to celebrate." Lee said.

The four men headed to the next block to their favorite restaurant. As they entered the door the host who was a very flamboyant retired drag queen greeted them. "Hello Mr. Lee. Party of three ?" he asked. "No party of four." Lee said. "Oh you are expecting another guest ?" he asked. "No. Count with me. Me one, Chris two, Wayne three, Kyle four. See four." Lee said. "I am sorry. We don't serve trash here." he said. "I would hope not. I pay good money for this food." Chris said. "No sexy. I mean him. We don't serve trash here." he said as he admired his new manicure. "He is my guest and you will serve him. " Lee said. "Not tonight honey. Sorry." the man said. "This was a bad idea. Thank you for the offer." Kyle said and headed out the door. Lee never took his eyes off the host that was bringing his blood to a boil but reached his hand back and snapped his finger as if to tell Chris and Wayne "you better not let him get away." Wayne took off out the door and as Chris moved closer Lee pushed him back as if "you better go too if you know whats good for you." Chris took off down the street and caught up with Wayne who was desperatly trying to get Kyle to stop. Chris finally got in front of the man and warpped him in a tendor bear hug and just let Kyle melt.

"Let me tell you something you old dried up drag fag. I am the customer and you don't tell me who you "WANT" to serve and who you don't." Lee said. "Chill honey. I got rid of the trash for you. Now its a party of three. By the window or in the back?" he said. "I wouldn't eat here if I was the guest of honor you dizzy bitch." Lee said. By this time there was almost fire coming from his eyes and he could feel the steam riding from the collar of his shirt. "And secondly I don't I have never understood why Charles shames his establishment by having trash like you at the door." Lee said. "I bring a flair too it." he said. "You bring a disgrace to it." Lee said. "Hello Lee. Is there a problem ?" Charles asked . He had seen Lee from across the room and as he approached he could see that Lee was beyond aggitated. "Yeah this fucking "has been" you have here refused to seat me and my friends." Lee said. "We have empty tables." Charles said. "Not for one of his friends. we don't " he said. "Don't worry.You will never have to worry about seating me, any of my friends, or anyone that asks how the food and service is here ever again." Lee said as he started for the door. "Wait Lee I will be glad to seat you." Charles said as he followed Lee to the door. "I will never spend another penny here Charles. Good luck." Lee said as he exited. Charles turned around with rage in his eyes. "What the fuck was that all about ?" Chrales asked. "They had a piece of white trash. A homeless guy with them." he whispered. "I don't give a damn if he brings a pig in here dipped in cow shit you seat him. " Charles said. "And have someone see me seating someone like that. I have my reputation you know." he said. "Do you know who the fuck he is ?" Charles asked. "Some nobody that comes here sometimes." he said. "He owns the fucking building you idiot." Charles said. "Him, No way." the guy said. "Yes way and since he loves the food he has dropped the rent increase for the last two years." Charles said. "He can't be all that." he said. "He is. But you aren't. Dixie come here please. Would you like the hostess job ?" Chalres asked. "Yes sir." she said. "Good you start right now." Charles said. "Thats my job." he said. "No you wash dishes. " Charles said. "These hands don't dishes." he said. "Then those hands don't endorse a paycheck from here." Charles said. "Now let me go see if I can fix this fuck up." Charles said as he went out the door.

Fantastic, "Lake"!

I've witnessed similar incidents to those last few paragraphs before, and it would seem that Charles should have made that move much sooner. But, now, he's certainly doing the right thing.

SO ... Let's get those FOUR back in, and seated!

Keep smilin'!!

Thanks for another episode of this fantastic ongoing story!

 

[lakesinclair]

Thanks KY. I am glad that you can relate to part of my story.
Thank you too Autolycus. It is difficult to continue writing when you think noone is enjoys it. I appreciate you
following my little tail.

Her is another chapter guys. Tell me what you think ?


"Make mine to go"
Chapter 48

"Hey guys. Ready to go eat ?" Lee said as he reached the men standing down the sidewalk. Chris was still holding Kyle and just letting him cry. "You guys go. Thank you for the offer but I can't take that again." Kyle said. "Fuck them. They aren't the only ones that serve food." Lee said. As Lee started the group back up the street Charles came running up. "Please come back guys. Dinner is on me. " Charles said. "Is the Queen gone ?" Lee asked. "Well he is my wife's brother but he is the dishwasher now." Charles said. As they appraoched the front window they saw the same man seating a couple in the window. He just waved at the men, winked and pranced away. Lee looked at Charles and saw the anger in his eyes. "That bitch." Charles said. "Well Charles you need to go back in and enjoy your business while you can still afford to have it. Thank your wife for putting her brother back out front for me." Lee said and kept walking. "What was that all about ?" Chris asked. "Well baby you remember I said I owned some rental property?" Lee said. "Yes." Chirs said. "Well you and I own that building." Lee said. "Ah, we need to have a long talk." Chris laughed.

Three doors down was a nice looking eatery with and outside terrace and indoor seating. As they entered the door Kyle began to tense up. "Welcome. How many in your party ?" the young lady asked. "Four please." Chris said. "Patio or inside ?" she asked. "I had rather be in the back." Kyle whispered. "A nice cozy table in the back would be perfect." Chris said. "One moment and let me check." she said and headed to the back. "Guys I can't do this but thanks anyway." Kyle said. "Nonsense. She is just making sure there is a table." Chris said. "She will come back with the manager." Kyle said. Moments later she returned. "Your table is ready. Please follow me." she said. As the men were seated Chris noticed Kyle grab his side and moan. "You alright there buddy ?" Chris asked. "Fine. Just some sore ribs." Kyle said. The men looked over the menu. Kyle had to hold it close. They were not sure if it was to hide himself or if he needed glasses. "May I get your drink order ?" the waitress asked. "Your the Birthday boy so you start." Wayne said. "Just water will be fine." Kyle said. The other men gave their drink orders and the waitress was off. "See anything you like baby ?" Chris asked. "They have a great menu. I need to decide." Lee said. "How about you Kyle ?" Chris asked. "Just something simple." Kyle said. "Its your dinner. Order the whole menu if you want." Lee said. "I know you guys are trying to make me feel better about this. But its not my Birthday dinner." Kyle said. "Pre Birthday then." Chris said. Chris glanced at the menu picking out the cheapest things figuring that was what Kyle would order. When the waitress returned with the drinks she began taking orders. Just as Chris suspected Kyle ordered spaghetti with marinara which was the cheapest. Chris motioned for the waitress to lean over. "If you come back in a minute and tell him that tonight that comes with either chicken or steak, a chef salad, and a vegetable there is an extra $20 in it for you." Chris whispered. A couple of minutes the waitress returned and informed Kyle he had ordered the special and she had forgotten to ask what he wanted as add ons. "I will pick something else." Kyle said. "Those things aren't extra Kyle. Its just tonights special." Lee said. Kyle gave his prefrences and Chris had the $20 folded in his hand. He figured he needed to give that promise now because he may need her help again later. She smiled at Chris and headed off to place their order.

"Deal time." Lee said. Lee told Kyle about the first night he and Chris met. How it was the two little boys that introduced them. He also told of the party and how he ran. Chris told his side of the story with very few differences. Kyle had tears running down his cheeks. "Whats wrong buddy ?" Lee asked. " I was always a die hard romantic but I had to let that go. Well it got snatched from me. I haven't had romantic thoughts in months. I am glad to hear it works for some at least." Kyle said. The waitress returned to check the mens drinks. "Sirs here is the desert menu. The manager said that desert was on the house tonight so when your entree arrives I will take your desert order." she said. Chris and Keith looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. They did not know that some of the customers that had left the other restaurant because of the commotion had pointed them out and told the manager. They thought that it was just three men wanting to help a homeless man. Different ones had offered to help pay for their meal. Moments later a handsome young waiter in a differnt uniform appeared at the table. "Mr. Lee this is for you and your guests." he said. Lee immediatly recognized both the waiter and uniform. There was a note attached. "Enjoy this wine on us. I have it sorted and we look forward to seeing you soon.". "Wait son. Can I borrow you pen. "Yes sir." he said. Lee wrote a return note and signed it. He then handed it to Chris. "Sign this baby." Lee said. The note read "You may need to keep this one for you and your wife to have when you get your lease revision proposal on Monday.". Chris just signed the note and handed the bottle and the note back to the waiter. "Here buddy. This is for your lost tables bringing this." Lee said and handed him a ten dollar bill. Kyle just lowered his head and shook it. "What wrong buddy?" Wayne asked. "If he only knew how much ten dollars was. It took me a full month to get just over twelve dollars towards a bus ticket. That meant eating maybe twice a week to save my money. Then it only took two minutes for thugs to relieve me of a months work." Kyle said. "Is that why your ribs are sore." Lee said as he remebered the pain from his dream. "Yes that was last night but I will be fine." Kyle said. "It is him baby. It is." Lee whispered to Chris. "We need to get that checked out." Chris said. "No I will be fine. Besides I would have to go to Grady Memorial and that place scares me." Kyle said. "Well if it needs to be checked we can take you to Piedmont." Lee said. "OH NO. Please I can't go there again." Kyle said with fear in his eyes. "Again?" Chris asked. "Long story." Kyle said.

A nice looking man approached the table. "How is everyone tonight ?" he asked. "Just great so far." Chris said. "Your meal tonight is compliments of our guests." he said. "I can't accept that. We invited our friend for an ealy Birthday dinner and this bill is on me." Chris said. "They have already contributed." he said. "Thats great then. Let all your employees help us celebrate. Didvide the money equally between them all." Lee said. "Thank you sir. They will greatly appreciate that." he said. "Tell them it is their bonus for making Kyle's pre Birhtday dinner a success." Lee said. " I certainly will. You gentleman enjoy and if you need anything just ask." he said. "This was still a bad idea." Kyle said. "Why do you say that ?" Chris asked. "The lady behind us keeps looking at me and making these disgusting faces. I don't want to ruin her dinner." Kyle said. "Bullshit. I will be right back." Wayne said. Moments later the manager approached the table and asked the guest to either move tables or leave. The lady left with a discusted look on her face. "Better?" the manager asked as he stopped at our table. "Much better thank you." Wayne said. Kyle laughed a little. "Whats so funny ?" Lee asked. "Well I am ashamed to say it but six months ago I would have not been comfortable with me being at the next table. I wouldn't have shown it but I would have felt uncomfortable." Kyle said. The salads arrived and the men watched as Kyle took only a couple of pieces of lettuce and one tomatoe wedge and applied dressing to those and ate leaving the rest of the salad. The men were too busy eating to talk much. Kyle took his time taking small bites as if he were trying to make it last.

The entrees arrived. "May I take your salad plates ?" the waitress asked. Everyone let her remove thiers except Kyle. The table filled up and looked like a Thanksgiving feast. "Alright buddy we had a deal. We told you our story now tell us a little about yours." Lee said. Chris watched as Kyle divided everythig on his two plated including the left over salad into six seperate portions. "MIne is not that interesting. Depressing really but I would do the same again if it came down to it." Kyle said. Kyle ate about two bites of the different things on his plate and then lay his fork down. "Food not good ?" Chirs asked. "Oh no its delicious." Kyle said. "Well then eat up." Chirs said. "If its alright with you I have had enough for tonight. If they will give me a carry out tray I can make this last more than a week." Kyle said. "I need to go tot he restroom. I will be right back." Lee said. Chris watched as Lee went to the hostess and she directed him to the wiatress station. He saw Lee pull out his credit card and give it to the manager and then return to the table. "I was paying for this." Chirs whispered. "You still are baby." Lee smiled. "This is your pre Birthday dinner. There will be no carry outs tonight so eat up." Lee said. Tears began to fall down Kyle's face. "We weren't making fun of you Kyle." Chris said. "I know that. You just don't realize how long just this that you have bought me tonight can keep me from being hungry." Kyle said. "Well I don't think you will be hungry but please eat your fill tonight and the rest will work itself out i promise." Lee said. Kyle began to eat slowly. Stressing over every bite knowing that would hold him for a full day he began to remember the fun meals out with friends when a carry out tray was not even an option. "I will try to enjoy this. I will survive. I have so far." Kyle thought.

Once the waitress had refilled the drinks Kyle began to seem more nervous. "Well I guess we had a deal." Kyle said. "I use to own a home just south of the city. I met a dentist a few years ago and we eventually fell in love. Before that we had decided to meet and on the way I had a car accident. Someone ran a redlight and hit me. I wasn't injured but my car was totaled. We weren't able to meet that night and his Birthday was the next week. Some friends of his planned a dinner for him. They brought a guy to introduce to him. They started dating and within a month the guy he met moved in. He is a real piece of work. My friend is the only one that works now. Plus he has to cook and clean. Well enough of that. We had met and he told me that he hoped that his partner would find someone else and move on. But his partner liked the lifestyle so I knew that he wouldn't. This has been going on for five years. We talked every day by email and twice a week by phone. He finally told me that he loved me and was going to make some changes. I told him that I loved him too and that I would do whatever I needed too. The week after he said that I got a call from one of his friends that I had met. I had met the partner many times too. He really didn't care for me though. Oh well. His friend told me that my friend was rushed to the hospital. I dropped everything and rushed there myself. He had and aneurysm and they had to do emergency surgery. His partner was there palying the full roll of the grieving spouse. The minute the elevator door closed with the last friend leaving he announced he had done his part and that he was out of there. He informed the nurses that they were not to allow anyone in the room unless he was there. He gave them his number and said they were to stall everyone until he could get there and get in the room before them. I stayed in the waiting room for three days. I never left except to go to the restroom. I listened in to the doctors and nurses as they discussed my friends condition. His partner had never returned. Noone had visited. There were a couple of friends that came to see him but when they called his partner he said it wasn't convenient and to tell them he wasn't allowed any visitors. The fourth day the head nurse came and asked me who I was there with. I explained the situation. About an hour later she came back and told me that I was free to visit him anytime I wanted. I told her if the partner found me in there he would cause a problem. She assured me that he would be stopped and I would be given time to leave." Kyle said. About that point the waitress returned with deserts for everyone. "Kyle. I promise we are not kidnapping you. When you get ready to leave we will take you anywhere you want to go but what would you say to getting this desert to go and coming back to the house for desert and coffee." Lee asked. " I would like to take a ahower if that would be alright ? That is if you don't mind." Kyle said. "Not a problem. Plus I have some clothes I was going to take to Good Will. I had rather you see if you want some of it first." Lee said. "Only if you were going to give them away." Kyle said. "Done deal. These to go and the check please." Chris said. As the men started towards the door the manager stopped Kyle and handed him a card. "This is a gift card. It has $100 on it. You can use it for eat in or carry out." the manager said. "I can't take that.. Besides on the street someone else would take it from me so thank you anyway." Kyle said. "I will put your name on it and leave it in the register at the bar. You can come in anytime. " the manager said. "Thank you. If I do it will be carry out. Its really nice here but I don't want to upset your customers." Kyle said.

The ride to the house was much like the one the restaurant. The men discussed certain building and what they looked like and would try to guess at what they were designed after. Once in the house the men put the deserts in the breakfast room while Lee made coffee. "Let me run get the babies. I wont be long." Chris said. "Oh I forgot about you two having kids." Kyle said. "You can go ahead and take me back so you can save a trip." Kyle added. "I have plenty of gas so don't worry." Chris said. "Do you mind if I take a shower ?" Kyle asked. "Sure. lets look at some of those clothes real quick and then I will show you where the bathroom is. " Lee said. The men were off to get a couple of outfits. Once in the bathroom with the door shut Kyle leaned against the counter and just let the tears flow. It was not a sob, just strictly tears. Lee returned downstairs to the living room. "You alright buddy ?" Wayne asked. "I am utterly exhausted. That took too much out of me but until I get answers he is not leaving." Lee said. "He seems to be a super nice guy. I can't wait to hear the rest of his story." Wayne said. "I am so sorry buddy. We invited you up to spend time with you and take you out for a thank you dinner and then this happens. " Lee said. "Don't you dare say that. This has been the most interesting night I have had in a long time. Do me a favor though and be patient with Chris. He is still on pins and needles." Wayne said. "Yeah I am sure I will have to calm him down later but right now if I stopped to calm him Kyle would be gone." Lee said.

"Pop, Mrs. Pammla give me some pockorn. She let me bring some home." Alex said as he ran from the door into the kitchen. "Give me a kiss buddy. I will fix you this popcorn tomorrow. Will that work ?" Lee said. "Wayne why don't you help me with the boys baths real quick. Kyle should be down in a minute and Chris can keep him company." Lee said. When Kyle made it to the living room Chris was watching television. "Pull up a chair. They are giving the boys baths and will down in a minute." Chris said. "I thought that might be what all the noise was up there." Kyle said. "Well I haven't heard them down here so it must be a calm bath night." Chris laughed. "Calm?" Kyle laughed. "You look like a different man. Feel better ?" Chris said. "I do thank you. You never realize how much you miss a shower until you can't take one." Kyle said. As Kyle sat in the chair he held onto his side as he sat. "Kyle I wish you would let us have those ribs checked out." Chris said. "You have already done too much. Besides living on the street you have to learn fast to bite your lip through the pain and move on." Kyle said. Moments later all the noise from upstairs was headed down the stairs. "And the quiet ends." Chris laughed. Alex went straight to Kyle. "Hey Mr. Will you play with me ?" Alex asked. "Moments later Cody was in front of him with his arms out. "up peez." Cody grinned. "Boys leave Mr. Kyle alone." Lee said. "No please. I have a great nephew and niece about their ages and I really miss them." Kyle said as he leaned over to pick up Cody. Chris saw the pain in his face. "Buddy don't let him hurt you." Chris said. "Children are worth a little pain." Kyle said. Alex returned with a small truck. "Wanna see my truck ?" he asked. "Sure." Kyle said. As Alex climbed in his lap you could not only see the pain in his face but in Chris' too thinkong of how much it must hurt. The other men watched as Kyle gave his undivided attention to both boys in his lap at the same time. A few minutes passed. "Alrgiht stinkers its bedtime." Lee said. "Can Mr. Kyle tuck me in and say my paryers?" Alex asked. "Sure buddy but let me help him get you two upstairs." Chris said. Chris stood and watched as Kyle tucked the boys in and they both wanted a hug. As Kyle started to the door Chris could see more tears in his eyes. Chris reached out and pulled Kyle into a small hug. "It will be fine. I will see you down stairs in a minute." Chris said. as Kyle turned the corner and started down the hall. "Sweet dreams baby. Did you like Mr. Kyle ?" Chris asked. "Papa he needs me." Alex said. "Why would you say that ?" Chris said. "Papa his insides are sad just like Pop's was. He needs me and Cody." Alex said and rolled over to go to sleep. Chris sat on the side of the bed speechless. "Lee's insides were sad ? Can Alex see things like Lee ?" Chris thought.

Chris was still puzzled when he got back to the living room. Lee had served the coffee and put the desert on plates. Chris took his seat beside Lee as normal. "You alright sweetie ?" Lee asked. "Yeah I guess. Tell you later." Chris said. "Kyle I hope you don't mind me asking but what happened to your friend in the hospital ?" Chris asked. "I have no idea how he is now. I know he has gone back to work. I was able to save enough a couple fo times to ride a bus close to his house. I watched from behind a dumpster and would see him come and go headed to work. " Kyle said. "A dumpster ?" Wayne said. "Yes its near a stop sign that he has to pass through." Kyle said. "Why didn't you stop him to see how he is ?" Lee asked. "I can't do that. I gave him everything that I had worked my whole life for. Every last penny and then I was asked to leave. I have been on the street since." Kyle said. "Bastard." Chris said. "No Chris. I don't even think he knows what I did ?" Kyle said. "Now you hvae to tell us the rest of the story. If not I wont be able to sleep." Chris said. "Do you mind telling us ?" Lee asked. "I guess not. Just don't think me to be a fool." Kyle said. "Anything but a fool." Wayne said. "Well I relive those nine months in my mind everyday." Kyle said.

Kyle sat back and began his story. He told the men that the hospital staff let him shower in the doctors lounge and the five or six times his firends partner visited over the three months in the hospital that they were able to get him out before the partner came in. His friend had woken up and was doing better. The problem was that the next day he had forgotten everything from the day before. Kyle said his heart sank the day the doctors told him that his friend was going home. He knew that he would never know how he was doing. He had only been home that day for about two hours when his phone rang. It was his friends parnter. He asked if he could come and stay with his friend for a couple of days. His partner had to go on a trip and needed help. Kyle packed a bag and headed to his friends. Four days later he finally got the partner on the phone. The partner told him that he had gotten most of his clothes before Kyle got there. He told him that he didn't have time for a sick man and he had moved on. Kyle asked him about the bills. The partner said that all he did was give Kyle's friends the bills and he paid them. His money was his so he couldn't help. Kyle said he knew his friends passwords and spent two days researching how and what to pay. He had no access to any bank accounts but he could get in and pay bills and credit cards using the password. He caught up the utilities on his friends house and vacation property. He then caught up the mortgages on both. When his checking and savings ran out he contacted someone about buying his small business. That money lasted about three months and then I was out again. Kyle put his home up for sale. It was almost paid for so he would get almost three hundred thousand to help. That money lasted another three months because insurance and taxes plus also income taxes had to be paid for his friend. His friend was getting better but still never realized Kyle was there. Kyle held his hand during the day. He fed him and bathed him and kept the house. The partner would come by sometimes and bring more bills. Kyle said he was broke again. The only thing he had left to his name was his vehicle. He had saved for seven years to buy one so he had the title. He sold his vehicle which gave him about thirty thousand dollars. Since taxes had been paid the money he got for the vehicle substained them for about four months. The day he paid the last money he had other than the couple of dollars in his pocket the partner showed up. The partner had found out from some visiting friends that Kyle's friend should be back to normal in a few days. They had been able to stop one medication and change another which was helping the short term memory loss. The partner showed up and while Kyle was cooking dinner he went in packed all of Kyle's clothes and when the food was finished the partner informed him that he was back now and Kyle was no longer needed. The partner even refused to carry Kyle to the bus stop. He had to walk. Kyle said he was also informed that if he came back he would call the law.

The men sat quietly all with a shocked look on their face as Kyle finished his story. "Why haven't you tried to talk to him ?" Wayne asked. "Well I still had my cell phone. They turned the service off two weeks later. He never called so I figured he never remembered I was there. Besides if he had been serious about changing his life he would have called." Kyle said."Well he owes you money." Chris said. "No he doesn't. He is fine now and he didn't loose anything. So it was money well spent." Kyle said. "What about your family ?" Lee asked. "They were upset with me selling everything to pay my friends bills. I just couldn't face them. This was my mess not theirs." Kyle said. "I think I would have to say something." Wayne said. "Well when you give nine months of your life and every penny you have built over your life to someone in the name of love and they don't say thank you then you have to wake up and realize that you have nothing left to give. No need in getting hurt even more." Kyle said. "You have a point." Chris said as he squeezed Chris' hand.

 

[Kyanimal]

Well, "Lake", I have to agree with Kyle. There certainly are more Important things in Life than Money, and "stuff"!

However, I doubt I would have taken it to the Extreme point that Kyle did.

Then, again ... without going into specifics ... I just might be in a similar "downward spiral" myself, at the moment!

And, that's without a "Lee and Chris (and Wayne)", that I know of, in sight!

I was also Very Impressed with the reactions, of all the diners, staff, and management, except that One "lady", at the Second restaurant!

We often underestimate the Innate Goodness of our Fellow beings!

And, I'm also thinking that Charles's wife needs to meet Brianna, and Ms. Ruth!

NOW ... look at your Views ... not just Replies (though I wish you'd Speak UP, JUB Peeps!) ... and keep , "Lake"!

Keep in mind that ... No Matter What ...

Keep smilin'!!
