Miguel Sanchez Chapter 9 I turned around and Andrew looked like he had seen a ghost. I walked over to him and asked, "What's wrong son? You don't have to be afraid or ashamed to say anything here." Andrew just dropped his robe and walked over to lay beside Alex. I wasn't sure what was going on. I was about to find out. Andrew laid beside Alex and took the same position he did. I walked over and felt and sure enough he had the same thing but it was much further developed yet I had no clue what it was. Andrew looked at Alex and said, "I knew when I saw you that we were brothers. I knew this isn't they way I would have liked to have found out but I don't care. My god Alex, I do have a brother and you are handsome and stunning. I love you my brother." He took Alex into his arms and hugged him as the tears rolled down his cheeks. Rhys came over to me and I held him as he watched his boyfriend and brother get acquainted. I heard the door open and Trey came in. Trey saw Andrew and Alex hugging and crying and he said to me, "They are brothers for real?" I just nodded and said, "It sot of seems that way son." I went over to the bed and sat down to talk with Andrew and Alex. Rhys was dozing on my lap so Trey took him and said he could sleep with him tonight. He wasn't going to keep these two from getting to know each other and didn't mind brothers sharing a bed together. Trey kissed them good night and went back to his room with Rhys. We talked for several hours and I learned even more about their mother. I didn't know if this could be used when it came time to fight for Alex but I had the information just in case. I kissed the two good night and I returned to my room. We never said anymore about the things I saw because other things were more important. I laid there for a few minutes trying to think how a person can live with themselves for doing something like that. I ran this through my head until sleep finally over took me. The next thing I knew my bladder was screaming at me to empty it before it would do so on it's own. I grabbed my robe and threw it on but I left it untied so I could relieve myself before I had an accident. David had left the seat up so all I had to do was point and shoot. As I was standing there I suddenly realized how nice it was to live in a house with all males. Having someone leave the toilet seat up was not necessarily a bad thing as I just quickly learned. I decided to take my shower since David was still sleeping. I turned on the water and it's so nice having an automatic setting so after a few seconds, the water temperature was perfect. I was just about to begin washing my hair when the door opened and I had two unannounced although not unwelcome guests in my shower. It's also nice having a rather large shower so there is room when company drops in unexpectedly. I turned to see who was joining me when I felt a pair of hands reach around and pull me tightly against their body. I was just about to turn around so I could see who was holding me when I felt my head being massaged. I tried to speak but I felt a finger come across my lips then I felt the rest of my body begin to be lathered. I just closed my eyes and decided to go wherever this was going to take me. I was being washed like I was a newborn baby. I felt a pair of hands begin to wash my most personal area but to my surprise, I wasn't really getting aroused. I felt my dick getting soaped but before it had a chance to respond, the hands left and I was getting rinsed. Once I felt the soap off my hair, I opened my eyes and there was Andrew and Alex giving me the treat of a lifetime. I just stood there in amazement then I reached for my two stunning boys and pulled them close so I could hug them. I kissed both on the cheek and said, "Thank you boys. I've never had a shower like this before. You two were wonderful." I felt lips on both of my cheeks then Alex smiled and said, "You're welcome Dad. I can't believe how really lucky I am. I have my brother and very soon I'm going to have a permanent home with people I truly love. I should be thanking you all for coming into my life." I was about to speak again when the water was shut off and I had a warm towel being wrapped around my body. I felt Andrew begin to dry me and I just stood there letting my eldest dry me. I felt his hands descend to my butt when I stopped him and turned to look at him. By now, he and Alex were standing side by side and it was totally amazing at just how much alike these two young men were. I held the towel and gave Andrew a kiss on the lips then said, "I had no way of knowing but I guess everything does come full circle if we give it enough time." I stepped out of the shower and I handed the boys towels so they could get dry. I guess they showered earlier. I finished drying myself and went over to shave when I heard someone standing in the door. I looked and there was David, Trey and Rhys all with smiles on their faces. David came in where he kissed me and said, "I hoped you enjoyed this love." I was totally speechless. It seems these guys were up before I was and they planned this whole event. I went over to David and returned his kiss. I then took him in my arms and said, "This was a very welcome surprise. Let me get dressed and we can talk more over breakfast." I smiled at everyone and quickly finished shaving. Phillip had laid clothes out for me and as soon as I was dressed, I went to join my family. I walked into the dining room just as Phillip brought the food in to be served. The boys all smiled at me and I returned the smile just as Phillip set my plate in front of me. He gave me one of those quizzical looks as he poured my coffee but I just remained silent as I continued smiling at my family. As he finished serving Andrew spoke saying, "Dad, Alex and I both need to see your doctor as soon as possible. Trey and I tried making love before we showed you those things last night and it was a little uncomfortable for me. I don't know what this is but if it keeps getting bigger, I'm afraid doing that may become impossible and I sure wouldn't want that to happen," he said as he turned and looked at Trey. Alex looked at me and said, "Dad, Rhys and I had some fun also but it's not painful yet but I don't want it to get as far as Andrew's. I know it's a growth of some kind based on looking and feeling Andrew's and we will probably need surgery. I don't care. I just want to be able to show my love for my boyfriend. Andrew, you told me a lot before Dad came in and some of what I remember from a while ago is making sense. Dad, if you have some free time later, may Andrew and I talk with you. I think I can now fill in more to what I told you last evening." I looked at the four of them and said, "I have something to do this morning but I will be sure to have time after lunch where we can talk more. Is that alright?" I saw heads turning to look at everyone then they all looked at me and just smiled and nodded in agreement. We finished breakfast and I went inside my office to sign some reports and make a few call to the office. I was considering getting a messenger to take the papers over when I thought I could get Andrew to do that for me. I brought him into my private office and made him his own personal security badge along with his company identification card that all employees must have. There is a magnetic strip on the back that allows them to enter different parts of the building depending on their job. I was allowing Andrew to enter the executive area of the company so he could deliver these reports. I had first thought of Dave but he and Trey were going to the safe house to see how things were running. They were also supposed to have a board of directors meeting and I knew that could take some time. I was on the board but Trey had my proxy so he could vote in my absence. I looked at my watch and I had cleared everything off my desk in record time. I was just going to get some coffee when I heard the phone ring. Since it was one of the private lines so I decided to answer it myself. I would get several calls a day from my staff needing information on some matter. I just thought this was another of those calls. I answered it saying, "Mike Davis speaking." A woman's voice came on the other of the phone saying, "Mr. Davis, this is Ms. Daniels. I am Alex's mother and I would like to talk to you in person. I got your number from the card I received. This matter is about the return of my son. If we can not do this civilly, I am prepared to retain counsel and we can let the courts handle this matter." I took a moment before speaking to think about what I was going to say to this woman. She didn't really want to take this into the courts, did she? I didn't want to think she was totally out of her mind. I quietly took a deep breath and began to speak. "Ms. Daniels it's good you called. It just so happens that the rest of my morning is free and if you be here in say, an hour, I can sit down with you and we can discuss this matter." She thought she must have had me where she wanted me and she said, "That would be fine sir. I'll see you about 10:30. Good day to you sir." She hung up the phone and I did like wise. I leaned back in my chair and rang Phillip to bring me some coffee. While I was waiting on that I called Andrew on the cars cell phone and come to find out, he was on his way back home. This was perfect. I had Andrew and Alex here and I now had my ace in the hole. I knew I would need DNA blood tests on them to confirm that they are indeed brothers but this would show the courts this woman's disregard for her children. I knew she would not deny Alex, but once I had the blood test how could she deny Andrew was her son also. I'm sure the courts would open Andrew's adoption records that proved Cora Daniels was in fact his mother. I had a smirk on my face when Phillip came in. He saw this and said, "Am I disturbing you sir? Here is the coffee you requested. Shall I pour you a cup?" I looked at him and said, "Go right ahead my friend. I just had the phone call of my life." Phillip looked at me like I had lost my mind so I proceeded to tell him what was going on. I had known this man for almost twenty years and he has been with my family for as long as I can remember. There was nothing I could tell this man that wouldn't stay with him. I had on many occasions talked thing out with him and taken his advice. I heard Andrew come in the private entrance and I asked him to come into my office. I had to fill him in on what was going to be happening in about forty-five minutes. This took me about ten minutes so I decided to call my physician and have an appointment so he could look at Andrew and Alex. I explained what it was I found and it peaked his interest. He remembered seeing something about this and he even knew a surgeon who had removed a couple of them. He said he was going to look into this and get back with me. I scheduled an appointment while I had him on the phone then he could get back to me when he had all his information. I was just hanging up the phone when Alex and Rhys came in. I fixed myself another cup of coffee and went over my dissertation for the third time. I thought it best that the boys just stay upstairs. I wasn't sure if this was going to get ugly or not but if it did, I was not about to have them hear it. We sat and chatted for a few minutes until I heard the front doorbell ring. They went upstairs to play while I tended to that matter at hand. Phillip answered the door and I stepped into the hall to see who it was. Sure enough Cora Daniels was right on time. I went back inside and sat down and got out a legal pad so I could take notes. I heard a knock on the door and Phillip came in and announced Ms. Daniels. I asked her to sit and Phillip closed the door on his way out. I offered her some coffee but she declined stating she wished to get right to business. She began by saying, "Mr. Davis, I understand Alex is living with you here and I wish to have him returned to me without any delay. It has taken me sometime to locate him and I wish to be reunited with my son." I took a mouth full of my coffee and said, "You throw your son out onto the street, tell him you never want to see him again and if you do you shall have him arrested. Now you come into my home and demand him back? I think you have some nerve." She took a deep breath and said, "I don't know what you heard but we had an argument. It's not uncommon for a mother and child to do that." I was just about to speak when I saw the light for the door on the private entrance on the security panel go on then off. I knew Dave and Trey were home. I excused myself for a moment and motioned for him to come in. When he came into the room, I thought Cora was going to have a heart attack. Dave looked at her and said, "Well Madam, I see we meet again. What threats are you here to make against that young man now. I know he hasn't been anywhere near you or your home. Oh yes Madam, I remember exactly what you said and I'm prepared to testify to that fact in a court of law. I do happen to know that it is illegal for a parent or parents to tell a minor child they have to leave their home. It is your responsibility to raise that child until he is eighteen years of age." I really didn't want this going to court. I wanted her to sign papers terminating all her rights to Alex and to agree to my adopting him. I felt the only way I could do that was to play my ace in the hole. I excused myself and went to talk with Alex and Andrew. Alex knew there might come a chance where he would have to see his mother. I didn't know how Andrew would feel about seeing her again but since it was here, I would be in control. I talked with them and both agreed. We came downstairs and went to my office. I opened the door and Alex went in first. His mother tried to say something but Alex went and took a seat and remained quiet. I came in next followed by Andrew. I thought she would faint. She started trying to find words but try as she might, nothing came out. Finally after a few minutes she finally spoke. She looked at me and said, "Alright sir, what is it you want?" I looked at her and just said, "Madam, you know what I want and I'm prepared to get it one way or another. How you wish to proceed now is strictly up to you. I don't see how you could possibly win." She couldn't even look at Andrew. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed it. This woman could not acknowledge her child. She did try to speak to Alex once when she said, "Alex can't you hug your mother?" Alex looked at her and replied saying, "Madam, I don't know who you are. I know that my mother would never dismiss me from her life for any reason." With that, I let both boys go on back and play. I also broke a rule I smoked with someone in my office other than those who already smoke. I lit a cigarette and said, "Alright, it's your call." This woman knew she was beat. I picked up the phone and called Steve Matthews and had him set up an appointment with their adoption counselor. He would have all the papers drawn up and ready for her signature then all we would have would be a hearing where the judge signs off on the adoption and then everything is legal and final. Steve had me on hold for a few minutes then he came back. The appointment was scheduled for next month. I knew I could have the blood test back about the same time so it looked like I was going to be holding yet another trump card in my hand. I wrote the person's name, the date and time on a piece of paper and handed it to her. I jotted the information down for myself because I knew I would need to be there so I could sign my request for adoption along with her approval. I now started hoping that things would proceed quickly and smoothly for all our sakes. Since the day I paid that guy off to get out of her life, I hadn't given her another thought. I was happy having my family together. Now I just want everything over so our family can stay together. Ms. Daniels stood and said, "I guess I will see you next month Mr. Davis? I just want you to know that I don't consider myself a bad person." This really got to me. Here she was trying to justify herself to me and I wasn't buying it for one minute. I looked at her and said, "Madam, after you sign the papers, we have the hearing and Alex is legally mine you can go back to being whatever kind of person you were. I just want you to stay out of our lives, and one more thing. You have the gall to come here thinking you know me and what kind of person I am. Madam, you don't know me at all. If I so desired, I could have fought you in court and you would have been the only looser. The only reason I didn't was because of Alex. Don't think for a minute he doesn't know who you are. He was respectful and polite. I just wasn't going to have him know that I was responsible for putting his mother in jail." She looked down a little after I said that. Then she turned to head towards the door. I opened it and there was Phillip to escort her to the front door. I went back over to my chair and sat down to think about all that just transpired. I poured a cup of coffee, lit a cigarette, took a drag and thought about the events of the past twenty-four hours. Alex was reunited with a brother he never knew he had. Andrew found Alex, moved into my home and in with Trey where their lives and love were now growing and maturing. My family was now complete but at what cost? I began thinking that I had kept a child from his mother then I remembered Andrew and Alex. No, I hadn't done that. I rescued a child who had been discarded like yesterdays newspaper. I suddenly remembered Rhys. He to was unwanted and I want to adopt him too. I had the meeting and those papers had been signed but I had as of yet received the hearing date on him. Well, I could take care of that next month. I sipped the rest of my coffee, finished my cigarette and thought that I was the luckiest man walking the planet. Lets hope the next several months would prove me correct. I was just about to walk out to see the boys when I saw them walking down the hall towards me. It was just after twelve so lunch was about to be served. We entered the dining room just as Phillip brought the food out. It was a warm day so we just had sandwiches and chips along with some iced tea. I told Alex and Andrew that I was free for the rest of the day so we could talk any time they wanted. They thought that was fine, but since I was home they all wanted to spend time together with Dad. Dave seemed left out until Trey looked at him and said, "Hey Pop, don't think you're getting off the hook. We want you here too. Just because it seems here lately that Dad has needed to handle things, that doesn't mean you aren't important to us too. We need you and love you just as much as we do Dad and I don't want you to ever forget that." Dave was smiling after that but I think it was because of the kiss Trey gave him after he told him what he did. I noticed the others nodding their heads in agreement as Trey spoke and I know he needed to hear that. Dave is the love of my life and the boys are just as important. I think I'm going to need to balance my love for Dave and my love for my boys just a little better. Being a full time father is a big responsibility in itself. It's bigger than I thought it could ever be. Plus there is someone I love with all my heart and soul. I guess it's just going to take a little more work on my part. The afternoon was spent being with the ones I loved. We swam for a couple of hours then the boys wanted me to commit suicide by getting on roller blades. After a short time passed, I wasn't doing to badly. The two youngest even commented on how well the old man was doing. This adventure wasn't without its moments though. Trey and Andrew had slowed down so they could talk and our two young speed demons weren't paying attention and soon we had a large pile up of bodies, mine included. We all laughed it off and decided we had had enough excitement of one day so we went back to the house. The rest of the day passed quietly with us in the family room watching movies on DVD. Time was passing both quickly and slowly. All to soon, it was time to take Alex and Andrew to the doctor's for their appointment. The pediatrician, Dr. Whitesand along with my doctor examined both boys and came to the same conclusion. The growth, which appeared to be just a benign cyst in the perineum, had to be removed on Andrew but it was way to small yet in Alex. The boys had blood drawn for DNA testing and the results would be back in several weeks. We then saw the surgeon who would do the operation on Andrew. I thought that since Alex was going to be facing the same thing, he could be present if that was alright with Andrew. We all knew that it would be fine with him but we still thought he should be in on everything. Andrew's surgery was scheduled for the following week and he had a preoperative appointment and Trey took him for that. He wanted to know for himself just what his baby was going to have done to him.
