Lil Dude Chapter 14

Tia and Danny approached James from the rear so he didn't see them coming.
I was surprised Danny was able to keep his little tongue from wagging and
blowing the whole surprise, but he did.  I think he had a little more
coaching from Tia after I had left them to go upstairs.

"Babe, I have a little surprise for you."  I had the attendant turn the
wheelchair around.

James bolted out of the chair.  He grabbed Tia and Danny both in his arms.
The tears were streaming down Tia's and James' faces.  Danny was giggling.
It was minutes before anyone said anything.

James turned to me and laughed.  "Babe, you and your surprises! I can't
believe this!"

Tia was asking him how he felt. He told her great.  He was telling her how
great she looked.  Danny was sharing his role in the surprise, telling
James about Danny and me calling Tia earlier in the week and making all the
arrangements for her visit.

The attendant was waiting for James to sit back down in the chair.  I
indicated this to James.

"I'm sorry, I really don't want to get you in any trouble, but there is no
way in hell I'm going to get back in that chair now guy.  Thanks for the
ride, but I've got it from here just fine."

The attendant looked over to me as if for some support to help getting
James back into the wheelchair, but I knew what a futile attempt that would
be.

"Don't worry, you won't get into trouble.  We know what the policy is, but
the door is only two steps away.  I don't think you'll hear any
repercussions from it."  I tried to convince the poor guy it was okay.

He smiled at me forlornly and turned the chair around and headed back to
his return destination.

James was flanked on one side by Tia and the other by Danny. He had his
arms around each as we left the exit for the car.  It looked as though all
three were walking on air.  I was following behind at a close distance
enjoying the scene in front of me. We got to the car and I opened the front
passenger door and helped Tia get in, James and Danny got in the back seat.
I put James' bag with his personal items in the trunk then got in and
started the car.  Driving out of the parking lot it was so great hearing
the mixture of English and Spanish bouncing about in the conversation.  I
was even able to join in seeing how comfortably 'Spanglish' was being used
for the conversation.

Thanks to light traffic we were back at the apartment in a short time.
James was all smiles as we got out of the car.  You could see the joy and
appreciation in his eyes, coming home, and most of all, coming home OKAY.
We opened the front door to the apartment and the boys had stretched an
oversized 'WELCOME HOME
  DAD' banner across the living room wall, and the fresh floral
arrangements of James' and Tia's favorite flowers were all over the place.

All three of the boys shouted a hearty "Welcome home Dad", and came running
over with welcoming hugs for their Dad.

Everyone settled down and took a seat there in the living room and I went
to the bedroom to set James things down.  I returned to join them and found
Jorge, Tia, Danny and James seated in that order on the sofa, the two older
boys were sitting in chairs and I took the recliner to sit down in.

Jorge got up and offered to get us all beverages to drink while we talked
and Danny got up to help him.  Jorge took our orders and they went into the
kitchen to get them for us.  Danny came out with a glass in each hand and
gave one to Tia and the other to James.  Danny returned to the kitchen and
came back out with two more for the older guys.  Jorge brought mine out to
me.  They went back into the kitchen, each got their beverage and returned
to their seats on the sofa.

We all talked on and on for a few hours, talking about everything from
James wonderful recovery to Tia's visit, to the remodel, to Tia learning
more about Jared and Dustin.  Eventually Tia yawned and it was followed by
a yawn from James, I could see that they were both a little worn down from
the day's events and suggested we could all do with a little siesta before
dinner.  And after dinner we could visit 'our' new place to check out the
progress over there.  Everyone was in agreement. Jorge and Danny escorted
Tia to her guestroom.  The older boys headed for the terrace, Danny and
Jorge went to their room after seeing Tia was comfortable.  James and I
went to our room.

James hugged me tight and held me in his arms.  "Sweetheart, thank you.
Thank you so much for the wonderful surprise.  I can't believe you were
able to get Tia to come here.  How did you ever manage to get her on a
plane?"

"You're welcome Babe.  It was so hard keeping it a secret and I was so sure
if I didn't give it away Danny would."  I laughed.

"That WAS the hardest part.  I convinced her it was like riding a bus.  I
shared my little secret with her, I told her once she sat down in the seat
and fastened her seatbelt to just close her eyes and pretend she was riding
a bus.  She said she could do that.  And she did."  I was proud of Tia
being able to overcome her phobia of flying to be here with James and
Danny.

"Babe, I really like Tia, she is one of the sweetest ladies I have ever
met.
  We've become good friends already."

"I knew you would like her when you met her.  Everyone does.  I don't think
she has an enemy walking the face of this earth."  James yawned again, this
time it was more pronounced.

"Now, how about that nap you were talking about Sweetheart?  I'm ready for
it."  He winked.

I smiled looking into his beautiful face as I bent down to remove his
sandals, then standing up I removed his shirt, I loosened his belt and
pulled his pants down and he stepped out of them.  I edged him back to the
bed.  He sat on the edge of the bed and had me raise my foot to him to
remove my sandal then did the same with the other foot.  I pulled my shirt
up over my head while he was unfastening my pants and removing them as I
lifted each leg for him.  I sat down next to him.  We laid back and swung
our legs up onto the bed, and with me behind him he cuddled into my arms.
Oh what a great feeling it was, to have the man of my heart safely in my
arms again, in our bed again.  We were soon blissfully napping away.

A couple of hours later we were awakened by gentle nudges from Jorge and
Danny.  It was getting close to dinner time and their stomachs' meal alarms
had gone off.  James was all smiles awaking and seeing his boys standing
there.  We managed to roll over to the edge of the bed and get up.

"Daddy, you have to wear shorts and shirts now that Tia is here, hunh
Pops?"
  Danny was informing James of the discussion we all had last night
regarding dress code during Tia's visit.

"That's right Danny.  I don't think we would be showing very much respect
to Tia if we all ran around bare ass naked in front of her."

James laughed, "Knowing Tia, she would probably get a kick out of seeing
all the guys naked.  And Heaven knows she has seen Danny and me both naked,
but then we were babies when she did...changing our diapers."  He laughed
again.  "But yes Danny, we should be respectful and wear our shorts and
shirts while she is here."  James agreed.

James and I pulled on our shorts and shirts and we all grouped in the
living room.  I told the boys to go wake the older ones, then I corrected
myself and asked Danny to go wake them.  I remembered what had happened the
last time Jorge had woke them up.  Jared was out for revenge for the next
two days.  Jorge just grinned knowingly.

Dustin and Jared joined us in the living room, without incident this time
involving Jorge's hi jinx.  We were all just waiting for Tia to join us.
She entered the living room and we all stood.  She blushed and motioned for
us all to sit down.  As soon as she sat down Danny was right next to her
and she was patting his hand while holding it.  I told everyone dinner
would be delivered in less than an hour.  All four of the boys got up and
started getting the table set and everything ready so when the meal arrived
we would be ready to sit down and eat.  Tia got up to help.  James and I
asked her to sit with us and let the boys get it.  She reluctantly sat back
down.

"Now I want to get one thing clear with you Mijo and Segundo, while I am
here nobody waits on me. And I will help out where I can and when I can.
That is what I came down here for besides seeing Mijo, Danny and all of
you.  I carry my own weight."  She was warm but firm with her words.

"Tia we'd like you to enjoy this as a vacation, and just visit with us,
relax and let us show you a good time."  I was asking more than telling.

"Ahora, Segundo (Now, Second Son).  I like visiting, but I like doing
better.  I don't just sit at home and I won't just sit here.  Esta bien
(Okay)?"  She looked right at me smiling, but I knew she meant business.

"Tia, si bueno, si lo quiere. (Yes Auntie, that's fine, if that's what you
want).  Tia this is your home whenever you are here and whatever makes you
comfortable while you are here will be your decision and respected."  I
bowed to her wishes.  She was as strong willed and independent as my own
mom had been.  I liked this lady more with each interaction.

The boys had everything finished and ready.  There was a knock on the door.
James opened the door and it was the delivery person from Don Carlos'
Restaurant with the food.  James invited him in and the boys helped him
with the food.  I signed off on the delivery check and he left.  Tia put
all the food out on the table and commented she was going to do this next
time so we had the REAL thing, not restaurant fare.  We all sat down to the
table.  Tia said grace and we all dug in.  She did admit for restaurant
food this was very authentic and tasted pretty good. James nudged me and
said it must be really good for her to say that.  We literally ate it all;
there wasn't one grain of rice left even.  James said the chili rellenos
(cheese stuffed chilis) were his favorite, then winking at Tia, said nobody
made them as good as hers were though.  You could see that James knew his
way around Tia very well with a lot of practice.  She nodded, smiled and
blushed back to him.

James asked Tia how long she could stay with us.  She had told him she had
planned on being here about two weeks, and then she needed to go back home
and take care of some things there before she came back.

"You're going to come back?"  James liked this tidbit of information.

"Si, Segundo has asked me if I could come back about once a month to check
on everybody and keep everyone behaving.  And besides we all have a wedding
to plan Mijo.  Riding that big bus in the sky is not so bad.  I just closed
my eyes, held and said my Rosary, and pretended it was a big noisy
Greyhound bus going down a bumpy road.  It really worked Segundo."  She
looked over to me and grinned.  I grinned back to her with pride in her
accomplishment.

"Segundo, hunh?  What's with all this Segundo?  Right behind me, hunh?  You
been making points behind my back with MY Tia?  I don't know what to think
of that already."  James was kidding me.

Laughing I looked over to James and replied, "Well I'm working on Numero
Uno, just give me time."  I teased back then asked him.  "I thought in our
new home we could make the guest room suite, Tia's room if that's okay with
you Babe?"

"Okay?  That's great!! That's terrific!!!"  James' excitement was like a
little kid's.  "But Tia are you sure you want to be around all these
rambunctious guys all the time...they won't drive you a little loca
(crazy)?"  James asked her.

"Mijo, you and your brother and sister and cousins haven't driven me crazy
yet; I don't think these boys will succeed where all of you failed."  She
laughed.  We all joined in laughing at her response.

Watching Tia's and James' interaction and listening to them talk you would
really have thought that they were mother and son.  The special bond of
love between them just radiated to all around them.

Jared was anxious to share what had been his responsibility of the day, "Is
everyone ready now to go take a look at our new home?"

James was very excited to see the progress that had been reported to him by
all the boys.  "I know I do!  Come on Tia, come with your 'Uno'," he
laughed over to me, "let's go see our new home."  He helped Tia to her feet
and walked with his arm around her shoulder.

We all gathered at the front door behind Jared for him to lead the way.
The gang followed James and Tia as they walked through the complex toward
the new home.  When we reached the front door to the new home, Jared
unlocked the door and led Tia and James, followed closely by the rest of
us, on a guided tour.

Things were about finished in the older boys' wing...electrical and small
plumbing fixtures were all that remained to be installed there. The
office/study was finished...the built-in cabinets, bookcases and desks all
looked very functional and comfortable. The kitchen was finished except for
the installation of the major appliances and some of the tile work. The
dining room was finished, and the terrace of course was finished.  The
family room was really the only room still under major construction, but
that was progressing quickly also.  Work was about to begin on the other
wing with the younger boys' rooms, their enlarged shared bath, the guest
suite and a remodel to the master bath off James' and my bedroom.

James was astonished to see the amount of work that had been accomplished
in so short an amount of time.  He said he couldn't believe his eyes.  Tia
expressed her admiration of the new kitchen and its design, the warmth and
spaciousness of the dining room and the openness but privacy of the
terrace. She especially liked the small garden plot that we informed her
was to be hers.  At the last minute I had the crew add a small garden area
for Tia.  Danny had told me how much Tia loved gardening.

Dustin and Jared were excited about moving into their new permanent
quarters early in the coming week.  Jorge and Danny were a little
disappointed to see that their rooms would be among the last
completed. They realized they would be sleeping in the temporary apartment
like James' and me until completion of the remodel.  I told them if they
asked their older brothers just right I was sure they would share with them
their new rooms until all of the bedrooms were complete.  They immediately
ran over to Dustin and Jared to ask if they would share their rooms with
them.  The older guys were very comfortable with the request and agreed
that it would be great company to have their younger brothers over there
with them.

The bond between the two generations of boys was growing tighter with every
day.  The younger ones idolized their older brothers and the older ones
were most caring and protective of the younger brothers.  Jorge and Danny
had become shadows to Dustin and Jared.  Dustin and Jared also realized the
responsibilities involved with being older brothers. This meant setting
good examples of behavior that they knew would be mimicked by the younger
guys.  They took their roles as older brothers very seriously.

James and I discussed how our family had been like a wonderful jigsaw
puzzle...the picture, or family, had not been complete until each one of
the six of us were placed into the picture in the proper place.  Now Tia
perfectly framed this picture puzzle family for us.

We returned to the apartment and indulged in the flan that was sent over
with the dinner.  The caramelized custard dessert was a hit with everyone,
including Tia.  Tia then asked if one of us would be able to take her to
the market tomorrow, she wanted to buy groceries so she could start
preparing meals for the family.  Dustin volunteered to take her shopping.
She asked if there was a good market with Mexican specialty foods
available.  I told her there were several in the area and suggested my
favorite to her and told her of the others she could checkout for herself.
She said she wanted one with a good butcher department that had good
chorizo (a spicy Hispanic sausage) and specialty cuts of meat familiar to
Latino cooking.  With all of us being native Californians or with Hispanic
backgrounds, Mexican food would be a hit with all of us...though Tia
assured us with a chuckle that she could also cook up a delicious southern
fried chicken, meatloaf and other 'gringo' delicacies.  Jorge asked her if
she knew any Cuban dishes, she told him that she cooked a mean black bean
and rice dish and a great Ropa Vieja.  Jorge smiled from ear to ear and
licked his lips hearing this.  James said that with her living in San
Francisco for so many years a lot of her lady friends were Chinese and
Italian, and she cooked a lot of wonderful Asian and Italian dishes also.
You name it she could cook it, and cook it to make your mouth water with
delight he said.

After dessert dishes had been collected and returned to the kitchen and
loaded into the dishwasher.  We moved the conversation to the terrace.

Jared shared a tidbit of information with all of us; he had a date with
Steve from Luigi's.  They were going to dinner and a movie this Saturday
night.  We were all pleased, we all enjoyed Steve's visit the other night
and really liked him a lot, he was a very nice young man.  Jared said they
had been talking everyday since then and were becoming good friends.  He
confided that he had a small crush on Steve already.

Dustin then told all of us he had a date this weekend also, his was with a
physical therapist that he had met at the hospital on one of his visits to
Dad.  He told all of us about Juan, his new possible romantic interest.  He
said Juan was much older and mature and that they had been talking everyday
also since they first met. We were all looking forward to meeting this Juan
who had made such an impression on our Dustin.

It was wonderful to see that the older boys were getting their social lives
off and running again.  And that they were able to be so open in sharing
all of it with the family.  We wished them both good times on their dates
and reminded them to be careful.

James shared that he and I would like everyone to keep Sunday morning open
because we'd like everyone to be able to go to the eight o'clock Mass with
us to Our Lady's.  That was if they wanted to.  They all replied that they
would.  Father Mike was going to be coming over tomorrow night for dinner
to meet everyone.

In conversations during the week James and I had learned of all the boy's
religious backgrounds.  Jared was baptized and raised Catholic but had not
been to church since his parents' deaths and funerals.  Dustin was raised
an Episcopalian so he was very familiar with the same or very similar
services, rites, holy days, etc. as the Catholic Church practiced.  He
hadn't been that active though in attendance or participation for quite
some time.  They both expressed interest in returning to their religious
beliefs and Dustin said it would be no problem for him to make the change
from Episcopalian to Catholic so he could participate with all the rest of
the family.  I told him he could still pursue his Episcopalian heritage and
we would support him wholeheartedly, he would never have to change churches
for us.  We'd rather he be true to what he was most comfortable with.  He
said he was pretty sure he wanted to make the change.  I told him to take
his time deciding.  There was no hurry.  It appeared there was going to be
much to discuss with Mike when he came to dinner tomorrow.

Tia was quite pleased to hear all of this.  She said her faith had
sustained her through so much in life.  It was central to what she thought
and tried to live.  Her volunteer work with her church at home was very
important to her.  She was looking forward to meeting Mike and finding out
where she might be able to participate actively in the parish here and/or
the Dignity activities.

As a family we were all still finding how we fit in with one another, but
it was a very comfortable adaptation for all of us.  We were all surprised
how smoothly and comfortably things were proceeding.  It was amazing that
six, and now maybe seven, lives could blend so easily and so lovingly into
a bond of trust, dependence and consideration.  It was working for us
though and we weren't about to question the reason or timing of our
'family'.

Part of this last week's routine had developed different areas of
responsibilities for the two older guys.  Jared was primarily overseeing
the construction on-site and taking care of things as they arose there.  He
had some previous experience in the construction business while in high
school.  His dad had a small construction firm that built custom designed
homes.  Jared had worked many a summer and school holiday as a day laborer
with his dad's company.  Dustin took care of doing the daily family chores
as they arose, transporting the boys to and from needed appointments,
running errands, doing some of the light grocery shopping and helping me
out by doing errands for me that I hadn't been able to take care of due to
time at the hospital with James.

It was getting on into the evening and Dustin and Jared announced they had
to get back to our 'home' to move the furniture again.  They had been
moving all the furniture and items from room to room every night to get
things out of the way for the construction crews.  As one area was started
or about to be they would move items into another area to get things out of
the way for the construction crews.  Now they would be starting to move
things into the finished rooms.  This had been a nightly ritual for them
since the construction began.  The younger guys asked to go with them to
help and spend the night there with their older brothers.  James and I said
okay, but the younger ones had to be in bed at a decent hour to get their
full sleep and rest.  Jared and Dustin said they would see to it. They said
they would see us at breakfast and Dustin told Tia he would take her
shopping whatever time she wanted to go.  They gave us hugs and kisses and
said their good nights, and then left for our 'home'.

James and I now had time to talk with Tia, just the three of us.  She
commented on how happy she was for the both of us.  Saying she could see
how very much we loved each other, how much we loved all the boys and how
much they all loved us.  Tia told of her pride in James and all his career
accomplishments.  And she couldn't be more proud of the wonderful job he
had done with Danny as a single parent after Danny's mother passed on.  Of
all her nephews and nieces, James had always been her very favorite, and
the one she had always wished was her own child.  She told me that no one
in the family had done more for her than James had, at every opportunity he
could.  He was always there for her and she was missing that now that they
had moved down here.

Then she dropped the bomb shell that not even James had a sure knowledge
of.
  She said she had been a lesbian all her life, but because she was the
eldest of all her siblings, it was not strange to any of the family or ever
questioned that she had remained single all these years, because her
responsibility had always been the children.  First taking care of all her
siblings, nine of them and then starting in with the next generation, all
her nieces and nephews.  She was merely the maiden aunt as far as all their
family had been concerned.

She said once had a 'girl friend', that they had been 'girl friends' for
over thirty years and that she lost her heart's companion to breast cancer
about the same time that Danny's mother had passed away.  James conveyed
his apologies for not knowing and not being there for her.  She told him
nonsense.  She hadn't told anyone so how was he to know, and he WAS there
for her, he and Danny were both there for her when she needed them the
most.  They just didn't know it at the time was all.  At a time when she
needed closeness, they needed her as much as she needed them.  Danny's and
James' needs were such that they helped take the emptiness out of her
personal loss.

James asked her what she might think of moving down here permanently or if
she would even consider it.  She said she had already been thinking about
it a lot since he and Danny moved here.  But she still needed some more
time to decide for sure.  She said a lot of her friends up there in the bay
area had passed on and that she knew she could make new friends here.  Most
of the family up there didn't bother to come by to see her or even call
her, and this was after she had raised most of them.  She said that she
felt like she almost didn't belong there any more.  Except for her
community work, her volunteer work at the church and her participation in
the Dignity organization she really had no reason to remain there.  She
knew she could find all of that here, plus be with family members who loved
her and wanted to be with her and share in her life.  It looked like she
really had been giving it very serious consideration.

Tia and James asked me what I thought about it all.  I told them I already
felt very close to Tia and respected her and would welcome her sharing our
home.  That all the boys today had commented to me what a grand lady she
was and they wished she would become a permanent member of our household.
It was almost like we had all considered her a mother figure already.  I
assured her everyone would be most considerate of her feelings at all times
and we would appreciate her input on all family matters.  But none of us
would ever try to pressure her into deciding to move here.  The most
important consideration was her happiness.  Only she knew what would bring
the most happiness to her and we would respect her decision, but would hope
that if she didn't move here that she would at least continue to visit on a
regular basis.

James said he thought she would find that she would feel at home here.  She
would be where she was wanted and needed.  She could participate in all the
same activities that she had up there.  She could still come and go as she
pleased, and with all of us here and Max Jr. on call, there would always be
someone around to watch over the younger guys.  And she could really be
herself; she could possibly even meet a 'girl friend' if she found the
desire to.

I was surprised James added that last statement; I didn't know how
comfortable Tia had been with sharing that with us.  Her question following
it put me at ease though.  She asked if there were many lesbians in the
Long Beach area.  I assured her that there was a large open and proud
lesbian population that was very active in the area.  The expression on her
face said it all.  She looked to be glowing.  Ahh, Tia still knew her
heart's desire and still had the desire to fulfill it.

"Mijo, I hope I didn't shock you with my revelation just now.  But I
thought maybe you had always known on your own about me and that it just
never mattered to you."  Tia was feeling out James' reaction.

"Tia, I didn't know, but some how I always felt there was the possibility,
but you're right it didn't and doesn't matter one way or the other.  I feel
so good though that we do have something else in common.  And now I can see
why you have always been more understanding of my personal feelings than
anyone else in the family.  You have always accepted me for just being me.
Everyone else had a problem with it, but you never did.  I love you more
than anyone else in the family, you know that.  And you have been the
grandmother to Danny that he has always needed.  Danny may wind up to be
the only straight member of this family; it's too early to know yet.  But
he has had and will have wonderful role models in all of us to become the
best person he can be, gay or straight or whatever.  You have had a great
deal to do with his early upbringing and the all values you have instilled
in him will continue his life time, just as they have with me.  For that I
owe you, for both Danny and I, a great amount of gratitude.  Tia you are
more to me than just a mom, you are my friend. Thank you Tia.  I love you
so much."  James had tears forming in his eyes and Tia's eyes were already
showing signs of tearing up also.  He moved right next to her and put both
his arms around her and she held him in hers.

I started to get up and leave the room to give them more personal time
together when Tia spoke up.

"Segundo, just where do you think you are going?"  She laughed through the
tears.

"Tia I was just going to give you and James some private time together was
all."

"Thank you but you don't need to leave.  I want you here with Mijo and I,
you have come to be a most important part of Mijo's life now, and that
means you are a most important part of my life too.  I hope I will become
an important part of your life too if you will let me?"  Her voice dropped
off to a tone of question to it with her last statement.

I got up from the chair and went over and sat next to her, it was my turn
now to put my arms around her.  "Tia, you are already an important part of
my life.  And I thank you for inviting me and all the rest of the gang into
your life.  We adore you already.  You are a wonderful lady in every
meaning of the term.  I respect you and love you."  I hugged her tightly.

"Gracias Segundo, you have my heart. Thank you for loving Mijo and Danny
like you do, they need and deserve someone like you in their lives.  I am
glad that it is you."  She kissed my cheek.

I looked over to James and could see the smile of approval on his face.  He
mouthed the words 'I love you'.  I smiled and winked back to him.

Tia said that she thought it was about her bedtime, she was feeling sleepy
and it had been a long full day.  James and I agreed with her, it was
bedtime.  We all got up, we walked Tia to her door and kissed and hugged
her good night wishing her sweet dreams.

James and I headed for our room.  We decided to shower before hitting the
bed.  Stripping all of our clothes off there in the bedroom we left them in
a pile on the floor and went into the bathroom.  James stood in front of
the toilet taking a pee while I turned on the shower's water to heat up.  I
joined him in his pee.  I finished emptying my bladder right after him, he
flushed and we stepped into the shower.  Under the spray of the welcomed
warm soothing water I gently soaped his entire body; I did linger longer at
certain areas than others.  He rinsed off, and then washed my upper body to
my pelvic and anal regions.  He still could not get the bandage on his head
wet.  I finished all areas below, then rinsed off.  Stepping out of the
shower we toweled ourselves dry then headed for the bed.

Once in bed we cuddled up close together in each other's arms.  We began
kissing and let our hands wander and explore all that was available to
them.  I kissed my way from his ear to his neck, slowing proceeding toward
his nipples.  He was emitting groans and moans of pleasure with my every
movement.  Pausing and pleasuring him there I slowly made my way down his
furry chest and stomach to his navel.  I tickled and teased him with
flicking and lapping my tongue over, in, and around it.  Then I moved to
his lush pubic forest. He was fully erect by the time my tongue found its
way to the shaft of his firm pulsating cock.  I gently laved the entire
shaft with my tongue and lips.  Moving my lips to the engorged head I
enclosed it within my lips tightly.  I sucked on it savoring the warm
velvety soft texture of it in my mouth.  From there I went for his full
relaxed scrotum.  His scrotum hung so low that it was difficult to get the
entire sack into my mouth comfortably without accidentally grazing it with
my teeth.  I nibbled on each large testicle, giving each a thorough massage
with my tongue, then massaging them both and sucking on them together.  He
opened his legs wider revealing the perineum's trail to his sweet rosebud
anus.  My tongue took the hint and massaged and licked its way to the
desired target.  I kissed, licked and plunged my tongue toward and into his
pleasure hole.  His entire body started writhing in pleasure.  I moved my
attention back to his marvelous cock.  After another tongue bath of the
entire shaft I covered it with my mouth and began to slide the full length
of it up and down all the way to his lush pubic hairs, burying my nose in
them upon arrival there and relishing the manly musky soapy aroma.  I could
feel the swollen large mushroom head slide into my throat.  I began bobbing
slowly up and down on it with adoration.  Sliding, sucking and swirling my
tongue around it all, concentrating on the head with each upward motion.  I
removed my mouth and thoroughly wet my fingers with saliva.  Resuming
sucking his cock, I first entered his ass with one finger feeling it give
way and relax inviting me in farther.  I massaged his prostate and felt a
shiver from his body and heard a murmur from his lips.  I entered him with
one more finger and followed that with another.  Timing the finger thrusts
making sure to hit the prostate with each lunge inward, with my deep
plunges on his cock with my mouth and throat I could see his scrotum
drawing up.  His moans of pleasure were getting louder.  His vocal
expressions led me on to more intense action on my part.  I picked up the
pace vigorously, his body began stiffening and I knew he was on the brink
of sharing his tart and salty man nectar with me.  He shuddered, moaned the
word 'Babe' and spurt after spurt after spurt of thick cum filled my mouth
and throat.  His loads were full and many.  After the last of his liquid
ambrosia stopped flowing I continued to suck wanting to get every drop that
had been stored in my lover's body to be shared with me.  I kept my mouth
over his cock as it began to soften and shrink, still enjoying the sensual
feeling of him and his essence physically in me.  He had completely
softened and relaxed.  It was so hard for me to break our connection of
love at this point, but I knew it was a given and I couldn't remain here
forever, no matter how much I didn't want to, I had to release him from my
mouth.  I gently pulled off of him and moved my body's position where my
head was now back even with his on the pillow.  I looked into those dark
loving eyes and saw the purest love looking back at me.  Moving my lips to
his, I lightly brushed them with my tongue, and then eased my way beyond
his lips into the warm moist throne of his caressing lips, tongue and
mouth.  We shared his cum for the longest time churning it and savoring it
before slowly swallowing it.  I withdrew my tongue and we continued with
light kisses to each other's lips.

"Babe, I love you and the way you make love to me."  He sighed.

"Babe, I love making love to you.  It brings me more pleasure than you know
to see your delight in our love making."

"Sweetheart, I want you inside me now.  I want to feel your body next to
and inside of me while you fill me with your love juices.  Please enter me
now."  He lay on his back and pulled his ankles up in the air holding them
in his hands, spreading his legs open revealing his passion hole inviting
me to penetrate and fill him.

I moved over between his legs and lubricated my cock with my saliva and
precum.  I touched the skinned back head of my cock to his pink love
entrance.  I pressed slowly and felt the head pass through the relaxed
sphincter, it then grasped tightly on the head and he gasped with pleasure.
I slowly pushed more of my cock into his warm tightly clenching hole, the
more I pushed the more his body was inviting me inside, pulling me almost
to its full depth.  I had my full length in him; my pubes were meshed into
his furry buns and crack.  I hesitated for a while before starting my in
and out motion.  I felt so good for me, so intimately connected with my
lover's body, inside of him.  We were coupled as intimately as any two
human bodies could possibly be.  I loved being a part of my lover and his
body.

As I began my slow rhythm of filling him to his depths and withdrawing to
his entrance I bent over and kissed him with an intensity I never felt
before.  We became so enthralled in our emotional, sexual and physical
union that passion took over completely.  The more vigorous and passionate
our kissing became, the more vigorous our coupling became.  Our bodies were
pulling us together as one as much as our hearts were.  I came to the point
of no return and began spewing his inner most depths with my cum.  I felt
the most intense orgasm I had felt for a long time.  It seemed as though
the ecstasy was going on forever.  I collapsed on top of him just as I felt
his cock erupting with another load of cum between our joined bodies.  My
cock began its withdrawal from the warmth and tight comfort of his clenched
ass.

We lay there overcome with the intensity of what we had just shared.  At
the moment there were no words that we could share that would really say
anything.  Our eyes, smiles and embrace said all that could be expressed.
I rolled off the top of him and moved in next to him, our bodies sharing
full length contact.  James moved onto his side, laying his head on my
shoulder and pulling his top leg over my legs, our crotches were positioned
so that our softened cocks were even in contact with each other.  I wrapped
my arm that he was laying on over his chest and pulled him in as close to
me as I could.  Our bodies relaxed and with deep breaths we almost fell to
sleep at the same time.

"You guys follow us and bring the boxes, okay?"  Jared was directing the
younger guys on what they were to do.  Dustin and he were moving the
furniture and contents from the study/office to the new one; the younger
ones were now moving the boxes.  With everything moved that they could at
this time, they took a break and each got a soda from the ice chest cooler.
They went out onto the terrace and all sat around the edge of the jacuzzi.

"Can we get into the jacuzzi tonight?"  Jorge asked.

"I don't think just a little while would hurt, what do you think bro?"
Jared answered but asked Dustin's opinion.

"Yeah, I think a little while would be cool, but then you guys need to take
your showers and go to bed, okay?"  Dustin answered.

"Cool."  Danny and Jorge said together.

They all stripped off their clothing right there on the spot and got into
the jacuzzi.  Jared turned on the underwater light, the water jets and the
air jets.  The jacuzzi became a bubbling cauldron of young male flesh.
Games of grab ass, cock pulling and tickling ensued.  The terrace was
filled with laughter and giggling.  The games quickly calmed down and Jared
turned off the air jets and the light.  The noise level subsided and the
mood changed to one of gentle body caresses, hugging and holding.  Each
older brother had a younger brother in his lap embracing and kissing him.
Jorge was in Jared's lap and Danny was in Dustin's lap.  The younger boys
were leaning back into their older brothers' chests totally relaxed and
trusting.  Both older boys' erections were pointing straight up between
their younger brothers upper thighs, rubbing up against their smaller
scrotums and cocks.  The older brothers each took one hand and encircled
their cock and the smaller one together.  The younger boys took their
opposite hand and entwined their fingers in their older brothers' forming a
complete ring of flesh around each double set of cocks.  Slow stroking
began and it became faster and tighter with each stroke.  Danny was the
first to reach orgasm followed right behind by Dustin.  Behind their moans
of pleasure Jorge reached his and while he was still in the middle of his
Jared shot his load of love juice.  They all continued their entwined
grasps until all cocks had relaxed and fully softened.

Jorge turned his face to Jared and said, "That was cool bro." And he gave
Jared a kiss on his cheek.

Dustin asked Danny if he was okay.  Danny said he was, that it felt great
and he gave Dustin a kiss on the cheek which Dustin returned with a kiss to
Danny's forehead.

"Okay guys shower time, then let's hit the bed."  Jared turned everything
off and they all got out of the jacuzzi.  They bent down, picked up their
clothes and headed for the bathroom.  They decided to shower two at a time
this time.  Danny and Jorge then followed by Jared and Dustin.  This would
be the sleeping arrangements also.  The younger boys finished their showers
and got out of the tub.  The older ones dried their younger brothers'
bodies with the fluffy towels evoking giggles, gave them good night hugs
and kisses and them patted them on their butt cheeks as they exited the
bathroom for their bed.

Jorge crawled into the bed first and Danny crawled in next.  He positioned
himself in front of Jorge allowing Jorge to wrap his free arm over Danny's
chest.

"Good night little brother."  Jorge said and kissed the back of Danny's
head.

"Good night big brother."  Danny giggled and kissed Jorge's arm.

They cuddled tightly and drifted of the dreamland.

Jared and Dustin were taking turns soaping each other's body.  There was a
lot of sensuous massaging going on at the same time.  They turned and faced
each other under the gentle spray from the shower and began a passionate
kiss.  The kiss led to more.

"Bro fuck me.  I want you in me so bad right now."  Jared was pleading with
Dustin to enter him.

Dustin took the shampoo bottle and squirted some on his finger and massaged
it inside Jared's inviting hole.  He then squirted some on his cock and
smeared it all over.  Gently positioning the head of his engorged cock to
Jared's welcoming hole he penetrated him in one slow deep push all the way
in.  He then stopped and just waited for Jared's go ahead.  Jared clenched
his ass ring tight around Dustin's cock and signaled him to continue.
Dustin was taking long full thrusts into Jared's love canal.  Jared began
humping back against Dustin with each thrust Dustin clenched his arms
tightly around Jared's chest as he began to furiously pounding his meat
into Jared's depths.  Moans of pleasure escaped both their mouths as the
pumping picked up pace.  Dustin could feel every sinew of his body tighten
as he reached the edge of fulfillment.  With an expression of, "Oh, Bro."
He began to fill Jared's ass with his cum, eruption followed by eruption
until he was spent.

Dustin relaxed into Jared's back with his head on his shoulder still
embracing him and whispered, "I love you bro."

He regained his composure then said to Jared, "Now it's my turn to take
care of you bro."

He got down on his knees in front of Jared and took Jared's fully erect
cock into his longing mouth and throat.  Jared's knees began to buckle so
he leaned against the tiled wall for support.  Dustin made love to Jared's
hard hot cock with his tongue and sucking motions.  He paid special
attention to the head with each back motion.  It was no time and Jared's
body was shaking with anticipation and then began to tense for the
impending ejaculation.  Dustin saw Jared's balls retract so far up in his
scrotum that they nearly receded up inside his torso they had tightened up
so.  His ejaculation was furious, his cock spasmed and shot load after load
full of thick cum.  Dustin had to swallow some of it there was so much and
he didn't want any to escape his mouth.  He held Jared's cock in his mouth
until it fully relaxed and softened, then let it escape the tight embrace
of his lips.  Dustin slowly stood up and brought his mouth to Jared's.
They had a deep open kiss sharing the savory taste of Jared's cum.
Swallowing they let their kiss break.

"Thanks bro. I love you too."  Jared whispered to Dustin.  They embraced
once again then turned off the water and stepped put of the tub.  They each
dried their own body then left for their bed.

Crawling into the bed Dustin held the sheet up for Jared to crawl in next.
Jared scooted next to Dustin and laid his head in the crook of Dustin's arm
and shoulder.  Dustin reached over with his farthest arm and laid it gently
on top of Jared's hairy chest.

"Good night bro."  Jared sighed to Dustin.

"Good night bro."  Dustin softly replied.

They relaxed their bodies into one another and began their night's slumber.
Soft snores followed.

I awoke to the early light of dawn.  James had turned on to his side facing
away from me, but was still right next to me.  He was softly snoring.  I
realized what I had and could have lost; tears came to my eyes of gratitude
and joy that I won this time.  His soft snore was the most beautiful music
to my heart.  His body's touch was the magic that fulfilled my soul.  I
slowly got out of bed to not awaken him.  I went into the bathroom and
closed the door behind me. I took my morning pee and then stepped into the
shower.  After shampooing, washing and shaving, I rinsed got out and dried.

Quietly I opened the door and went to the dresser and pulled on a pair of
running shorts and a tank top and headed to the kitchen.  As I passed Tia's
room I saw that the door was open.  I continued down the hall and as I
rounded the corner to the living room I saw that the light was on in the
kitchen and my nose picked up the overpowering aroma of fresh brewed
coffee.

As I rounded the corner into the kitchen there stood Tia with a coffee cup
in her hand and she gave it to me.

"Good morning Segundo."  She leaned over with a bright smile on her face
and kissed my cheek.  I returned it with a kiss to hers.

"Good morning Tia.  Thank you for the coffee.  I didn't know you would be
up so early."

"Oh yes, I have always been an early riser.  Too many babies in my life and
the habit just continued."  She laughed.

"I can imagine so."  I laughed back.  "How did you sleep last night?"

"Oh I had a wonderful rest, thank you.  That is a nice mattress you have on
that bed, I like it very much.  It is very comfortable."

"Good, I am so glad to hear that."

"How did you and Mijo sleep last night?"

"Tia, I slept the best I have since he first told me about the brain tumor.
Having him beside me again was such an emotional release, that I slept like
a log.  And he is still sawing logs."  I laughed and she joined in.

"Good, I am so glad to hear that.  I do know what you mean; it is such a
relief now that it is all over.  I was so afraid for him.  But thanks be to
God, he is just fine now."  She teared up a little and so did I.  We both
knew what we could have lost had the tide turned the other direction.

"What does everybody like for breakfast Segundo?"

"They will eat anything and that is no exaggeration."  I assured her.

She laughed, "Yes, that is the good thing about boys; their stomachs are
satisfied as long as they are full."

"I've got buttermilk biscuits baking now and was going to make some country
gravy to go with them and some scrambled eggs with onion and pepper and
fried ham.  Do you think they will be satisfied with that?"

"Satisfied, they will be in Heaven!  What can I do to help you?"

"You can get the table ready for me dear heart.  That would be wonderful.
Thank you."

I started setting the table and doing what I could to assist her with
breakfast.  She and I talked more of the possibility of her moving in with
us.  She said she gave it a lot more thought last night before she went to
sleep, but still needed some more time to really make up her mind.  I told
her I understood that it would be a major move for her, not just physically
but emotionally too, with all her long time attachments to the bay area.

She said when we finished breakfast she wanted to make up a shopping list
if that was okay.  I told her I thought that would be great and that Dustin
would take her to the market whenever she wanted to go.  I would give her
the money for the groceries before they left.  She started to balk and I
asked her to let me do this and she gave in.  I was not about to let her
spend her own retirement income on food for our hungry gang.

She asked me about Father Mike. I told her about our, Miguel's and my close
friendship with him during Miguel's and my participation with Dignity.  She
asked about Miguel and I shared our story with her.  I finished the story
and she came over and hugged me and held me.

"We both have lost our hearts to the grave dearest, but we have survived.
You know what, maybe they are neighbors up there and watching us right now.
Wouldn't that be great?"  She laughed through the tears.

"Yes, Tia, I am sure they are both very happy for us now."

I told her about Mike, his wonderful Irish humor, his compassion and his
respect in the religious community, not just the Catholic community but the
religious community of Long Beach as a whole.  He was active in many areas
and was loved and respected by all who had the good fortune of knowing him.
He practiced what he preached!  As he told me once, "God gives us love not
bullshit, why can't we all do the same with each other?"  She laughed and
said he didn't sound like he minced words.  I told her he didn't.  If it
was black he told you it was black, if it was white he told you it was
white, but he had a way of saying it to never hurt your feelings, but just
got you to thinking.  She said he reminded her of one of her favorite
priests who had died several years ago.  She was anxious to meet Mike.

She asked if I knew what he might like for dinner.  I suggested since it
was Friday, maybe some kind of a fish dish.  Even though we were no longer
required to eat fish on Fridays except during Lent and on some holy days,
he still adhered to it out of habit.  She suggested a nice broiled halibut
with a Vera Cruz sauce.  I was familiar with Vera Cruz sauce, it was a
pungent delectable sauce of bell pepper, onion, tomato and garlic; always
an excellent compliment to a light flavored seafood.  She said she would
prepare a light salad, some saffron rice, a fresh steamed vegetable of some
kind and some warm rolls to accompany it.  Then for dessert a bread pudding
with an Irish whiskey sauce in his honor.  I told her she would tempt him
to leave the priesthood after he sampled that meal and ask her hand in
marriage.  She laughed and said, "Yes, like that has a chance in hell
happening for either one us considering our status...his marriage to the
church and my being lesbian."  We both had a good laugh over that one.

Breakfast was getting close, I told her I was going over to wake the boys
and get them back over here.  She said she would go in and wake James.  I
thought I should warn her that he was asleep in the nude.

She laughed and said she had seen him naked as a baby, naked as a boy and
naked as a man.  "No big thing," then she laughed and corrected her, "well
it IS a big THING...but I guess you'd know that too now!'  She giggled.

"Tia!"  I exclaimed as I was blushing and busting a gut laughing, she
caught me completely off guard with that one.  I loved ribald humor when it
was so off the cuff.  Her giggling continued as she grabbed onto me for
support.

I could see now that tonight would be fun.  Tia and Mike in the same room,
laughter is sure to be guaranteed.

The laughter tapered off and she released her hold on me.  We were still
laughing over it though.  I told her I would be back in a few minutes and
she said she would go wake 'big thing', our laughter started all over
again.

I left to wake the boys, still laughing.

To be continued . . .
