                       Chapter 24 -- New Beginnings



From Last time:

Michelle returned and noticed that Michael was now sitting with the rest on
the Petitioner's side.  She smiled.  "In the matter of the requested
adoption of Cole Allerd by Matthew Johnson.  The court is satisfied that
all legal requirements have been met.  I hereby order that effective
immediately, Cole Allerd will now be known as Cole Johnson.  His adoptive
parent can contact the clerk for a new birth certificate in the boy's new
name."  She banged her gavel once more, stood, and left the courtroom.

Cole, Devon, Michael, and Matt hugged. Matt took his two sons, an arm on
each of their shoulders and led them from the courtroom.

Chapter 24 -- New Beginnings

James awoke in severe pain.  Both of his legs were in casts, he had a
dressing wrapped tightly around his ribs.  His head throbbed.  He looked
around his room and for a moment was frightened.  He couldn't see Tom
there.  Tom had been there with him non-stop since the accident happened
and he'd regained consciousness 2 days ago.  Moments later his fears were
eliminated when Tom exited from the bathroom.

Tom saw the look of fright in his lover's eyes and with as much compassion
as he could muster he said, "James, there's no way in hell I'd ever leave
you.  But I am human and I need to pee.  I'm not the one with a tube up my
dick."  James grimaced at the reminder he'd had a catheter inserted.  He
really wished they'd remove it. Tom can help him use the bottle if he
needed it.  He would talk to his doctor when he came in on his rounds.

"I just got scared.  I really expect to see your face when I open my eyes
now.  I loved you before, but now I know you love me in the same way."  Tom
approached the bedside and tenderly kissed the boy he would gladly give his
own life to protect.  As they were kissing, James' doctor entered.  At
first, the relationship between these two young men was bothersome to him,
however after several discussions over the past couple days, he'd come to
realize that their love was no less nor less important than that he shared
with his wife.  He cleared his throat to let the lovebirds know he was
there.

He examined James and said, "It looks like you're out of the woods.  Do you
think you'd like to go home?"

James smiled broadly.  Tom and Melissa had discussed the situation and Tom
had gotten permission from his father to accompany James home and take care
of him so Melissa could continue working.  Tom and Melissa thanked the
doctor for all he did for James.  The doctor said he'd process the
discharge paperwork and he'd be on his way in about an hour. He would be
forced to either get around by using crutches or a wheel chair because both
of his legs had been broken.

                                     * * *

It's been two days since Michael came to live with Matt and Cole.  Both had
decided to give him some space to be able to adjust to his new environment.
Matt had asked Cole to take an active roll in trying to get Michael
comfortable enough to talk.

Cole had entered Michael's room, after knocking.  Michael was laying on his
bed in his Jockey shorts, arms crossed behind his head and appeared to be
deep in thought. Cole approached and said, "How's it goin, Bro?"

Michael looked over at him and shrugged his shoulders but said nothing.
Cole asked if he could sit on the edge of the bed and Michael just shrugged
his shoulders. Cole took a seat.  They remained as they were for a few
minutes when Cole again broke the silence.  "It's gotta be weird for you,
getting tossed into this like you did.  I thought we were friends though.
I want you to know, I'm here if you wanna talk, okay?"

Michael looked at Cole and suddenly tears began to stream down his
cheeks. Cole wrapped his arms around Michael to comfort him.  "Everything
will be okay, just relax and we can talk it out." Cole said.

Michael sobbed for a time but when he started talking, the dam burst.  He
began to flood with what had happened to him in his short life.  "It
started when I was about 9.  Dad's brother, my Uncle Trevor came over.  It
was kinda neat cuz I'd never met him before.  We got to be really good
friends that day.  He was totally cool.  At the end of his visit, he asked
Mom and Dad if I could come visit him at his place for a whole weekend, I
was like totally stoked over the idea and got them to say it was okay."
Michael had a faraway look in his eyes and continued, apparently oblivious
to the fact that Cole was even in the room.

"I went to his house the following weekend.  Dad dropped me off on a
Thursday since school was already out, and told Trevor and me he'd be back
on Wednesday evening to pick me up.  I was jazzed cuz I thought I'd only be
there like 2 nights, but this way I had almost a whole week.  He showed me
around his house which was really cool.  He even had a swimming pool in his
back yard.  We just chilled for most of the day, but it was kinda warm that
day.  He asked me if I wanted to go swimming. I told him I really did and
went to get changed.  I went into my suitcase and realized Mom didn't pack
a swimsuit for me.  I was totally bummed."

"I told Uncle Trevor I didn't have a suit and asked if we could go out and
get one. He just told me I could go naked or in my undies if I wanted.  I
guess I looked kinda funny at him cuz he said, 'Hey it's just us guys, if
you want I'll swim naked too.'"

"That seemed fair to me so I took off my clothes.  He watched me and kinda
stared a little bit but then took his off.  I couldn't keep my eyes off his
dick it seemed huge to me. We swam in the pool for a while and had a great
time.  I couldn't help but notice though that he kept grabbing my butt,
dick, and balls, but it kinda felt neat.  I kinda liked it.  That's all
that happened that first day though other than when it was time to go to
sleep he asked if I wanted to sleep in his bed.  I told him I did but he
told me he slept naked."

"I slept with him, naked too.  It was neat cuddling up to him and it made
me feel kinda grown up too.  He rubbed my whole body that night before I
went to sleep.  It made my dick hard and his was really hard too.  I fell
asleep eventually."

"Way early in the morning, like before the sun came up even, I woke up cuz
I thought I hadda pee.  My dick felt kinda weird though and when I looked
down I saw he had my dick in his mouth.  It felt really good.  Eventually,
I got this feeling and my whole body shook.  Then I fell back to sleep."

Cole was sitting quietly listening to the story of how Michael was
molested.  He was actually getting really pissed but didn't say anything.
He thought it was important for Michael, to Michael, to get it out in the
open.

Michael continued, "The next day when we woke up I asked him about what he
was doing before.  He told me that when someone liked someone they wanted
to make them feel good.  He asked if I liked him and I said yeah.  He said
he really liked me too and that is why he made me feel good.  He asked if
it did feel good and I told him it was really good.  He didn't say anything
more, but I got to thinking.  I said to him, 'I really do like you a lot,
Uncle Trevor, can I make you feel that good too?'"

"Trevor just smiled at me and told me it made him feel very happy that I
liked him like that.  He got naked and I sucked on his dick the way he
sucked on mine.  The difference was when I was done, all I did was shake
around a lot and it felt really good.  But after a while he held my head
down so I couldn't get his dick out of my mouth, then some stuff came out
and I almost choked.  Some leaked out of my mouth, but I swallowed most of
it.  Honestly, I kind of liked the way it tasted."

"Over the next couple days, he showed me lots of stuff.  Even showed me
what it felt like getting fucked.  I really liked what he was doing, I
really did.  The night before I was supposed to go home, Trevor asked if it
was okay if he invited a few of his friends over to play with me.  I told
him I didn't care so he had 4 of his friends over that night.  All of them
fucked me.  I sucked all of them off at least twice.  It was cool being the
center of the party.  Everyone wanted me."

"About midnight I fell asleep.  But I guess they fucked me a few times
after I was sleeping cuz I woke up a couple times cuz I felt one of them
with their dick up my butt and felt their stuff going into me.  The next
morning I woke up and went to find Trevor.  I found him in his study
talking to one of the guys that was there the night before.  They didn't
see me.  I heard the guy tell Trevor, 'Damn Trev, that kid was fucking hot!
He was well worth the $200 you charged each of us to be there and fuck him
as much as we wanted."

"I got pissed.  After the guy left, I asked Trevor about the money.  At
first he tried to lie to me but I told him I'd heard the guy.  I asked if
he'd really gotten $800 for what his friends did to me.  When he said he
did, I told him that if he wanted me not to tell about this, he needed to
pay me too.  He gave me half of the money."

"After that I got an idea that I could find other guys who would pay me to
play with my body.  I would find guys in the park, at the mall, just about
anywhere. Especially at the 'Y'.  Those guys were always checking out the
boys and were easy to get to take you either to a motel or to their house
and fuck you for money. Over time I got to the point where I had about 10
guys who would hire me during any given week.  Most of them were regulars,
but I found someone new once in a while."

"I was making a lot of money.  Most of it I was saving.  I got it stashed,
but I can get it whenever I need it. It's safe."  Michael now looked into
Cole's eyes.

"I kept my two lives totally separate.  I had that, and I had you guys for
my 'normal' life.  After we met with Matt that day, all of us in our
Speedos, and after I saw you and Devon getting close, I started wondering
if what I was doing was right.  I had decided that I was gonna quit.  I met
with each of my regulars for one last time.  I charged them extra actually.
That last few days was really cool.  They all actually told me they had
real feelings for me.  I knew it was bullshit, and that they were just
trying to get me to change my mind, or not charge them at all.  I made
almost $3,000 that last 4 days.  After my last regular, I stopped off in
the park.  I saw a guy there who I'd never seen.  He was watching all the
kids and I knew.  I went up to him and after a while he took me to a motel
room.  I made another $500 from him.  I was the fucking best!  I was on my
way home when I came across that guy.  That cop.  I figured, one more, just
to top it off.  You know the rest."

Michael finally finished talking.  Cole looked at him and asked, "What do
you want to do about it.  I am happy you told me all of this, but what we
do, if anything, about it is up to you.  We can tall Matt the story, or
not.  But I think we should. He'll know what to do.

"I dunno, Cole.  Lemme think about it a bit.  But for now, can we cuddle?
Just for a bit?"

Cole wrapped his arms around Michael and hugged him.  That was how they
remained.

                                 * * *

Devon and Donna were on their way to a meeting.  Devon was made to wear a
suit, something he hated to do.  On the way they stopped and picked up
Cole, Michael and Matt.  They arrived at the Federal Court House and were
escorted to Judge Phelps' chambers.  There they were met by two men in dark
suits. They introduced themselves as agents of the Secret Service.

Arthur stepped in from his courtroom and greeted everyone.  He explained
that the Secret Service guys were there to make sure they were safe until
after the press conference.  They all went to a conference room and took
seats in the front row.  A few minutes later the doors opened and in walked
a bunch of people.  Immediately they started approaching the group already
seated but were kept away.

The room got quiet when a man walked up to the podium.  He looked around
the room and said, "Thank you all for coming.  In a few moments, The
President will come out and address you all.  After his address, there will
be time for questions."  He looked off to the side then turned back to
everyone and said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, The President of the United
States."

The President strode out onto the stage confidently listening to the
applause in the room.  He stood behind the podium and looked out at the
assembled crowd with a genuine smile.  Devon looked directly at him and was
rewarded with a smile just meant for him.  The President held up his hand
to stop the applause.  Once it was quiet he began.

"Today there are well over 500,000 adolescents waiting for adoption.
However there are less than 100,000 families that have been approved to
adopt.  This sounds staggering.  But, let's complicate this a little
further.  Of those 500,000 there are those that have yet another strike.
They have a strike because they are simply without a family, they're
looking for adoption.  They have a bigger strike because they're older.
People want to adopt very young children. Older kids are lucky to even be
considered.  But if you add a strike against that child because they
identify themselves as living an alternative lifestyle.  Of being Gay, the
chances of adoption plummet.  People today who apply to adopt simply are
unwilling to take on the stigma of adopting a child who isn't 'normal' in
their eyes."

"Over the past few weeks, I've had the opportunity to meet with various
members of the community.  Both in and out of government.  This is a topic
that has been ignored by previous administrations.  Ignored primarily
because the previous administrations were worried that it would hurt them
in future elections."

"I was elected to try to bring about a change in our country.  A change
that would make things better for ALL Americans.  I have in the room today
a shining example of this kind of change of attitude.  I am going to bring
up to talk to you two very courageous young men.  Two young men who, just
so happen, to be in love with each other.  One of whom was tossed out on
the streets by his parents simply because of that love.  Please welcome,
Cole Johnson and Devon Williams."

Cole and Devon approached the podium.  Devon started speaking.  "When I
told my mother that I was gay she was really cool about it.  I knew that
because of who she was, and how our relationship was it would be okay.
However, for my boyfriend Cole here it wasn't the same.  His family kind of
freaked out.  He was tossed out of his house and came to live with me.  His
mom wouldn't go against his dad about it.  His dad actually tried to kill
both Cole and I.  Well, it was decided that Cole was going to have to go
into Foster care even though there was someone who was more than willing,
more than able to take him in and raise him as a son.  See, the problem
was, the person who was willing happened to be gay."

"Thanks to a caring judge, and a great lawyer, and a lot of people doing
stuff I still don't understand, Cole now has his new dad.  He's here in the
room sitting next to my Mom.  I have a question to ask all of you.  I know
you guys are the press and usually it's your job to ask the questions but,
here's my question.  WHY should it be wrong for someone to adopt simply
because of who they love.  They don't have a choice, neither do I, neither
do straight people.  They love who they love.  The important stuff should
be what kind of a Parent can they be.  I want to thank you all for allowing
me to speak, now I will let Cole tell you what's on his mind."

Devon turned and gave Cole a kiss, right there on TV.  Cole took his place
at the podium.  "Wow!  Wasn't THAT cool!  Anyway, thanks Dev, Thank you,
Mr. President. It's up to each of you down there, writing in your
notebooks, standing behind cameras, and each of you (looking directly and
pointing directly at a camera) sitting at home to realize that just because
a person is black, white, old, young, fat, skinny, straight, or gay, it
doesn't effect who they are.  You wouldn't stop a couple from adopting
because they're black, right?  And you wouldn't stop them because they're
overweight.  Or Asian.  It's even okay for a single person, man or woman to
adopt, as long as they're not gay.  THAT is what's wrong.  Devon said it
best, it should be how good a parent someone can be.  Matthew Johnson may
be gay. But he's the best dad anyone could have.  Thank you."

The President stepped back to the podium and, taking Cole on one side and
Devon on the other, his arms over their shoulders said, "I am introducing a
new bill today. The Cole Johnson Equal Adoption Rights Act, as I hope it
will become would make it a federal crime to discriminate against a
prospective adoptive parent solely on the basis of their sexual
orientation.  It is my fervent desire that this bill be acted on by both
houses within the next 30 days.  I further hope that both of these fine
young men, along with their parents, and in Cole's case his foster brother
will be in Washington when the bill is signed into law. Thank you."

The room was silent.  Reporters, notorious for asking questions were at a
loss. Nobody expected this.  Devon, Cole, Michael, Matt, and Donna were
escorted off to the side of the stage while the press core sat dumbfounded.
Time would tell what happens next.

Author's Note:

I am aware that this is a fairly short chapter.  Due to some health
problems I have been unable to get this chapter done as fast as I'd have
liked.  So, I'm posting what I have.  I expect that in a week or so, I'll
be able to continue the story.
