Part 2

Tyler was spending more and more time at Jess' house, and not just on
weekends either.  His mother was gone more often with each passing week.
By the time September was over, Tyler was spending about four days of
each week with Jess and they were having sex on a regular basis.

David and Tyler were not spending as much time together as was normal for
them, and David was beginning to suspect that things between the two of
them were changing.  Tyler had blown him off the last two times they were
supposed to overnight together at David's house, and he was afraid that
he was losing his best friend.  He had made up his mind that he was going
to get to the bottom of whatever was going on, one way or another, and on
Friday, he followed Tyler home on his bicycle.  He thought it was odd
though, when Tyler turned his bike down the street that Jess lived on,
instead of going the rest of the way to his own house.  David stopped
short of going down Jess's street, until he was sure that Tyler wouldn't
see him following.

When he got to the house where his coach lived, he got off his bike and
walked quietly into the yard.   Noticing Tyler's bike on the carport next
to Jess's car, David's curiosity got stronger as he began looking for a
window that he might be able to see into, but as he peeked into the
windows on the front of the house, he found himself unable to see
anything, or anyone inside.  He walked around the house but the windows
on the back side were too high for him to look into.  Looking around, he
found a crate and quickly pulled it over under the window, then climbed
up to peer into the window at the bottom of the shade which had been
pulled down, almost to the bottom.

He nearly fell off the crate as he looked in to see Tyler, naked, sitting
on the edge of the bed, with their coach's cock all the way in his
mouth.  Regaining his balance, David continued to watch, as Coach got
onto the bed with Tyler, and Tyler straddled him, sitting down onto the
coach's hard cock, then rocking himself back and forth making the big
thing go in and out of him.  David noticed a tightening in his own groin,
and reached down to absent mindedly fondle his own stiff young cock,
never once taking his eyes off the show before him, eventually wiggling
his own shorts down over his coltish legs until they were bunched around
his ankles.

David had been masturbating for several weeks, having been told about it
by an older boy at school, and he had been hoping to get Tyler to join
him in it during one of their sleepovers.  He was convinced that Tyler
would enjoy this new found game as much as he did.  Now, here he was,
watching his best friend and his little league football coach, actively
engaged in sexual activity, the likes of which he had never imagined.  He
was steadily stroking his four inch cock, trying hard to match the rhythm
that his coach was using, moving in and out of his best friend.  While he
hadn't had a wet orgasm yet, David loved the sensations that he felt when
his climax hit him.  He knew that he was getting close, but at this
point, he knew that he couldn't stop.  He watched intently, stroking
himself, until he had to close his eyes because of the intensity of the
feelings wracking his young four foot eight inch frame.  He let out a
squeal as his climax took over, making his whole body shake, and that's
when it happened, he fell off the crate he had been standing on.
Suddenly scared that he would be discovered, he quickly pulled up his
shorts and ran to the front of the house, getting on his bike and headed
home.

Chuck Carver was just getting out of his car as David pulled up on his
bike and hurriedly entered the house without so much as saying hi to his
father.  David went straight to his room and flopped onto his bed, not
sure what to do about what he had just seen.

Chuck knocked on his son's bedroom door.  "David, you ok  bud?"

David didn't answer.

"Well, I'm going to go shower and get ready to fix us some dinner, I'll
call you when it's ready."

David still didn't answer and Chuck walked away from the door toward his
own bedroom.  Once inside his room, Chuck stripped off his clothes and
walked into his bathroom to shower.  He reached in and turned on the
water, allowing the temperature to come up to what he felt was
comfortable, then got in.  As he shampooed his hair, some of the soap had
managed to get into his eyes, and while he was busy trying to clear his
eyes, he didn't notice his son  enter the bathroom, watching him through
the glass door.

Chuck felt comfortably alone, and once he had managed to clear the soap
from his eyes, he began to fondle himself, keeping his eyes closed so
that he could enjoy the visions creeping through his mind.

It had been four years since his wife had left him and David.  He had
tried dating, but somehow the sex never seemed right.  Chuck kept wanting
something that he knew was wrong.  He didn't want sex with women, he
wanted sex with a young boy, and not just any young boy, but his
beautiful son, David.  Seeing David taking showers after football
practice had only helped to strengthen his desire to have sex with the
boy, even though he knew that this could never happen.  As he thought
about David's lithe young body, supple mouth, and perky little round
butt, he suddenly erupted ,  his cum splattering the shower stall wall
and running down to join the water that was rapidly flowing down the
drain.  As he opened his eyes for the first time since getting the
shampoo into them, he thought he saw movement in the bathroom doorway.

"David?"  he called out, but there was no answer.  He reasoned that it
must have been just his imagination.

Dinner was quiet, all too quiet to suit Chuck.

"Is Tyler coming over tonight for a sleepover?"

"Nuh uh."

"Oh, that's twice now isn't it?"

"Yeah, but it's ok, he has other stuff."  David said, fiddling with his
food and remembering what he had seen earlier in the day.

"Want to watch some TV with your old dad tonight then?"

"Nah, I think I'll just go to bed, I'm kinda' tired."

"Are you  feeling ok champ?  You don't seem like yourself tonight."

"Yeah, Dad, I'm fine.  I'm just tired from a long day at school."

"Oh, well, go and get some sleep, you have football practice tomorrow.
Maybe Tyler will come and spend the night tomorrow night."

David got up from the table and went to his room.  Stripping off his
clothes down to his underwear, he climbed into the bed and pulled up the
sheet.  When he finally managed to fall asleep, he dreamed.  In his
dream, he could see Tyler, Coach Jess, his dad and himself, and they were
all naked.  He felt his body shiver as his dad kissed him, starting at
his neck, then moving down his body until he stopped at his butt, and his
firm hands feeling and touching all over David`s body.  He felt his dad
pick him up and lay him on the bed on his back, then lift his legs and
start pushing his cock into him.  The whole time his dad was getting
ready to fuck him, he never took his eyes off of Tyler and Coach Jess,
who were  doing the same thing.  He couldn't imagine anything more
awesome than having his dad's big cock driving into him and making him
feel good, while his best friend was experiencing the same thing with
their coach.

David was suddenly startled awake by a wet feeling in the front of his
underwear.

"Damn, I haven't pissed the bed since I was little."  He said as he put
his hand to the front of his underwear, which were damp, but not wet
enough to have been pee.  He pulled back the sheet and turned on his
bedside lamp to find that the wetness was all in the front of his
underwear.  He got up, pulling them off and noticed that they were
sticky.  Tossing them into the hamper in the corner of his room, he got
another pair from his dresser drawer and went back to bed.  "I  wonder
what that was?"  he said, to no one, and turned over to go back to sleep.

Chuck was calling David to get up and get ready for football practice.
They were running late, and only had a half hour to get to the field.

David jumped out of bed, pulling on the same shorts he had worn the
previous day and grabbing a clean t shirt from the drawer.  As he got to
the front door, he picked up his bag with his football gear in it, and
pulled open the door.

"Come on Dad, we're going to be late!"

Chuck came from the kitchen, carrying two sandwiches and two small
containers of juice.

"Go, I'm right behind you."  Chuck said as he pulled the door behind him,
making sure it was locked.

When they got to the field, practice was just getting started, so David
hurriedly changed into his gear and fell into line with the rest of the
boys, running laps around the field.

"I was beginning to wonder if you were going to make it Chuck."

"Yeah, me too.  I had a rough night last night, didn't sleep much."

"Problems at work?"

"No, not really, just a lot to think about is all.  By the way, is Tyler
spending the weekend at your place again?"

"Yes, as a matter of fact, he is.  His mom is out of town again."

"Poor kid, it's a good thing he has somebody he can depend on, like you
Jess."

"I don't know, it seems like she's always dumping him and leaving town,
not that I mind having him around, you understand, it's just that she is
his mother, and she seems only too happy to leave him behind with little
or no explanation, not to mention staying gone longer than she says
she'll be.  I honestly think she would give him away if she could."

"Well, he is a good kid really, I know that he has never been any trouble
when he's stayed over with David."

"It's really great that they are such good friends.  He talks a lot about
David when he's at my house."

"Did you know that he was supposed to spend the night with David last
night?"

"No, I had no clue.  He never said anything about it."

"Well, if you don't mind, and Tyler wants to, he's welcome to spend the
night tonight, I know David would love to have him over, he seemed so
upset because he didn't spend the night last night."

"Sure Chuck, I'll talk to him about it, in fact, if he wants to stay at
your place tonight, we could all go out to have pizza, and maybe go catch
a movie too."

"Hey, that sounds like a good idea, of course it means that we would have
to sit through whatever movie they want to see!"

"Yeah, or we could send  them to see what they want to see and us go into
another movie, if there is something playing that we'd like to see.
Besides, I think they need to spend some time away from the grown ups."

"Damn Jess, I like the way you think."

Jess blew his whistle, calling the boys over to where he and Chuck were
standing, then got them started doing their next workout routine.  When
practice was over, Jess blew his whistle again.

"Ok boys, let's all hit the showers, and head home.  And everyone
remember, we have a game Monday right after school."

The boys all headed for the school building and the lockers to get their
showers.  All of them, that is, except for Justin Davis.  In the entire
two months that they had been together as a team, Justin had never
showered at the school.  He headed for the front of the school to meet
his dad for his ride home.

Chuck and Jess talked about this and that while the boys showered,
dressed, and headed off on their way home.  As always, David and Tyler
were the last two in the shower, and from the office, both Jess and Chuck
had a bird's eye view of the shower and locker area.  The boys were
taking their good old easy time about finishing, laughing and slinging
water at one another, like boys do, and Jess and Chuck both stole
frequent glances, thinking the other hadn't noticed.

When the boys finally got out of the shower, and dressed, Jess and Chuck
made their way out into the locker room to tell them about their plans
for the evening.  When Jess told Tyler that it was perfectly ok for him
to spend the night with David, he seemed to be a bit happier, but his
smile soon turned into a look of concern.

"But what about you Coach, I don't want you to be lonely tonight?"

"Don't  worry about me Tyler, I'll be fine at home.  I'll just make
myself a drink, watch some TV and chill."

"Well Jess,"  Chuck interjected, "We have a spare room at our place, and
you and I could kick back, drink a few beers and watch some grown up
stuff while the boys play games and stuff in David's room.  That is, if
you'd like to."

"Hmmm, I really don't get out much, and a few beers with a good friend
wouldn't be a bad thing.  But I would have to stop at the house to get
some things, clean clothes and something to sleep in, you know."

"Don't worry about it, David and Tyler sleep in their underwear, and I
sleep in the buff, so what ever you  feel like you want to sleep in is
fine with us."

Jess thought for a minute, "Let's do it!  It will be a guys night!  Who
knows, it might even be fun!" Jess smiled.

Tyler's face lit up and he and David began hugging each other and jumping
around cheering.  Jess suddenly thought that the feelings he was having
must be like what Chuck felt to see his son happy.  Was he actually
starting to think of Tyler as his son?  Still, their exuberance seemed to
be somewhat contagious, because he was feeling a bit giddy himself.

He and Chuck shared a pitcher of beer during dinner at the pizza place,
while the boys drank soft drinks, then they headed for the movies.  Tyler
and David wanted to see some sci-fi  flick, and he and Chuck went to see
a suspense thriller, then they met in the lobby afterward and headed to
Chuck and David's house.

The boys made a bee line for David's room as soon as Chuck opened the
door, and Chuck motioned for Jess to go in ahead of him.  Showing him to
the living room, Jess sat down on the couch as Chuck headed through to
the kitchen.

"Want a beer Jess?"  Chuck called out.

"Sure."  Jess answered, but Chuck was already headed into the room,
carrying two long neck bottles.  He handed one to Jess and sat down next
to him on the couch, picking up the TV remote from the coffee table.

"So, what's your pleasure Jess, you're my guest?"

"How about something funny?"

"Sure, no problem."  Chuck said as he tuned the TV to a sitcom.

The two men laughed, talked, and occasionally watched the TV.  They
seemed to be enjoying each other's company, and the conversation soon
turned to the team, discussing first one boy then another, comparing the
different boys attributes at playing the game.

"I've been meaning to ask you  something for a while Jess, what's up with
Justin?  I mean, he's the only kid on the team that doesn't shower after
practice."

"That's kind of touchy Chuck.  I talked to his dad about it a few weeks
ago, and he told me that because Justin is so big, and he's developing so
fast, he's embarrassed about the other boys seeing him naked."

"I wouldn't mind seeing him naked!" Chuck mumbled, not intending for Jess
to hear him.

"Did you say something Chuck?"  Jess asked as he turned his beer up to
take a pull off it.

"What?  Oh, no, I was just thinking out loud I guess,  maybe we should go
check on the boys, it's getting late and I think they should be getting
ready for bed."

They got up from the couch and headed down the hall toward the bedrooms.
Chuck opened the door of David's room to reveal the two boys sitting on
the floor in their underwear, playing a game on the Nintendo system.

"It's 11:00 guys, time to wrap it up and head for bed." Chuck said.

The boys got up from the floor, and Jess noticed that both boys had a bit
of a tent in the front of their briefs.  They headed to the bathroom
across the hall, then back into the room, where David hugged and kissed
his dad goodnight.  Tyler smiled,  then walked over to Jess, motioning
for him to lean down.  He did, and Tyler hugged him around the neck,
kissing him on the cheek, and said good night to him too.  Chuck turned
oout the light and started to pull the door shut.

"Dad, could you leave it open please?"

"Sure champ, you boys get to sleep now."

Chuck turned to Jess saying,  "This room next door is yours Jess,
whenever you're ready, you can turn in.  My room is on the other side of
the bathroom there, at the end of the hall."

"Well, like you said, it is late, so I think I am going to head for bed
myself.  Good night Chuck, and thanks again for asking me to stay over."

"No problem.  I'm going to lock up and turn off everything, and turn in
myself.  Have a good night, and sleep well."

Jess went into the spare room, flipped the light switch, and looked
around.  There was a double bed and a dresser in the room, and a small TV
with a VCR on the top of it.  Jess noticed a box sitting on the floor
just beyond the end of the dresser and peeked into it.  The box was full
of video tapes, X rated video tapes.  Jess wondered if David and Tyler
had ever snuck in here to watch them when Tyler spent the night, then
smiled to himself as he began to undress and climbed into the bed,
turning off the light.

He had been laying there for nearly half an hour when his curiosity got
the best of him, and he got up, turned on the lamp on the dresser and
opened the box.  There were several straight videos, and a couple of gay
ones, but there was one tape, at the very bottom of the box, with no
label on it at all.  Now his curiosity was really peeked.  He sat on the
side of the bed and put the tape into the machine, then turned on the TV
and adjusted the volume down low.  The video was extremely grainy, as
though it might be a video copy or an old home movie.  There on the
screen were two young boys who looked like twins.  They were wearing
identical red shorts and t shirts and sitting on a log and they looked
very much like David.  A man came onto the screen who looked like an
older version of Chuck.  The man could have been around 45 or so.  It
could have been a dad or grand dad just having fun with his boys, then
there was another man who came into the picture who looked exactly like
Chuck, only a couple of years younger.  The two men picked up the boys
onto their laps and began to talk to them, touching them on the legs and
back, and brushing their hair back with their hands.  The boys stood up
between the men's legs and then got down on their knees, and began to
unzip their pants, then leaned forward and began to suck their cocks.
Jess turned off the lamp, and lay back on the bed, still watching the TV.

The boys soon released the men's cocks from their mouths and stood up as
the two men began to undress them.  Their young bodies were nicely
tanned, but appeared darker where their clothing would end, at the shirt
sleeves, and the legs of the shorts, and they both had identical little
four inch cocks, sticking straight out from their flat little bellies.
The men then stood and undressed themselves, then sat back down on the
log as the two boys turned around facing the camera and backed up until
they were firmly against the men.

Jess heard a noise and quickly turned off the TV and the VCR, then lay
back onto the bed, breathing hard, and afraid he might have been caught
being nosey.

He needed to go to the bathroom, so he got up and went out into the hall,
wearing only his briefs, and headed for the facilities.  When he
finished, he washed his hands, turned off the light and headed back into
the hall.

Hearing a noise coming from David's room, he crept over to the door and
peered inside.  In the moonlight that shown through the window, he could
see David and Tyler, in a classic 69 position, greedily sucking each
other's cocks.  Jess thought he should leave, but couldn't bring himself
to walk away.  He stood there, nonchalantly rubbing his cock through his
briefs, as he watched the boys noisily sucking one another, until he saw
both boys suddenly stiffen and then the boy on top fell down onto the
other.  Then he heard Tyler mumble "Wow, David, you actually can cum!
That's so cool! I can`t wait until I can."

Jess hurried back to the bedroom and got into the bed.  He didn't know
how long he had been laying there, but it had been a while, when Tyler
came into the room and climbed into the bed with him.

"Hi sport." Jess whispered, "I've been missing you!"

"Yeah, me too.  David's asleep, so I wanted to come in and see if you
were ok."

"I'm fine, just a little restless,  having some trouble sleeping."

"I know what would make you sleep better."  Tyler whispered as he reached
for the front of Jess's briefs.

Tyler began to massage Jess's  cock, which grew instantly at the boy's
touch.  He lowered the thin cotton garment, as Jess lifted his hips to
assist him, then pulled his own briefs down and off.  He then leaned
downward, engulfing Jess's hard member in his hot little mouth.  Once he
was sure he had it good and wet, he raised up and turned over, then moved
his butt back towards Jess, lining up the man's cock with his own hole,
and pushed back.  Jess moaned as his cock slid easily into the boy's
hole.  Jess wrapped his arms around the boy's chest, kissing his neck and
ear as he fucked into him.  He fucked slowly, so  as not to make any
noise, then gradually began to roll himself and the boy over so that
Tyler was on his stomach.  Tyler bit into  the pillow as Jess picked up
speed and force, then Jess rammed fully into the boy,  as the scene he
had witnessed earlier, played through his mind again.  He too wished
that Tyler could have a wet cum, and he was really curious about the
video tape.  Jess felt his climax building to the point of no return,
when Tyler suddenly stiffened beneath him.  Jess lunged forward, burying
his cock full length into the boy, as he unloaded blast after blast of
hot cum deep into Tyler's bowels.  Jess pulled his softening cock from
Tyler's hole and, turning the boy around to face him, began kissing him
furiously on the lips.

After about ten minutes of kissing and caressing, he told Tyler that he
should return to David's bed so that no one would get suspicious.  He
gently wiped the excess cum from the boy's butt and upper thighs using
his own briefs to clean him, then kissed him once more and sent him on
his way.

David stirred as Tyler climbed back in the bed.

"Where'd you go?"  David asked.

"I went to the bathroom."

"That must have been the longest shit on record." David whispered.

The two boys  lay there giggling, then hugged each other and went back to
sleep.

Sunday morning, Jess awoke to the smell of bacon frying.  He pulled on
his pants and shirt, stuffing his briefs into his pocket, then followed
the scent out to the kitchen.

"Good morning, smells mighty tasty in here!"  Jess said to his host.

"Bacon and eggs with hash browns on the side.  Coffee's in the pot if
you'd care for a cup."  Chuck answered.

Jess fixed himself a cup, then sat at the table.

"Anything I can do to help?"  he asked.

"I have everything under control here, why don't you go wake the boys.
It will take them a while to get started, so it should be done by the
time they  get out here."

Jess got up from the chair and headed through the living room and down
the hall toward David's room.  When he opened the door, the boys were
still hugging one another, sound asleep.  Jess walked silently over to
the bed pulling the sheet back very gently and surveying the two sleeping
boys.  He marveled at the differences between the two boys, David's long
slender legs, one draped over Tyler's legs, their bodies so close that
you  couldn't slide a slip of paper between them, and their lips nearly
touching.  Jess felt his cock begin to  rise, and decided that he had
better wake them and get back to the kitchen before Chuck came looking
for him.  He carefully pulled the sheet back up over the boys, then
gently shook Tyler by his shoulder.  Both boys seemed to wake up at the
same time, quickly pulling apart and rubbing their eyes.

"Time to get up guys, breakfast is ready!"

Tyler sprang from the bed and headed across the hall, closely followed by
David.  They left the door standing wide open as they stood in front of
the commode, their respective piss streams seemingly dueling, as they
aimed it carefully into the bowl.  Amidst titters and giggles, they
washed their hands then bounded back into David's room to dress and we
all headed for the kitchen.

Breakfast conversation centered mostly on the upcoming game, who we would
be playing, how good they were and so on.  Chuck asked what Jess had
planned for Tyler and himself for the day and he informed him that they
really didn't have any plans made.

"Do you ride horses Jess?"  asked Chuck.

"Well, it's been a while, not since college actually, why?"

"I have a friend who owns a stable and David's been after me to take him
riding for a while now, but with  football practices and my work, I
haven't had the chance, so I was thinking that we might go out today and
ride for a couple of hours."

"Please Dad!"  David chimed in.

"Yeah, please Dad!" Tyler squealed, looking straight at Jess.

Jess was stunned at first by Tyler calling him dad, but at the same time
very pleased, so he agreed.

"I will have to go to the house, shower and change though."

"Nonsense."  Chuck said, "We wear the same size pants and shirt, and I
have a brand new razor and toothbrush in the cabinet, so I'm sure that we
can get you taken care of.  You can  use the shower in my bedroom while
the boys shower in the hall bathroom, and then I'll grab a shower while
you shave  and we can be on our way."

Jess couldn't think of any reason why not, so he agreed to that as well.
They cleaned up the breakfast dishes,  then Chuck and Jess went to
Chuck's bedroom.  He opened a drawer and pulled out a package of jockey
briefs, tossed Jess a pair then opened the closet getting out a light
blue polo shirt and a pair of kaki shorts  which he handed to him also.

"Towels are in the closet in the bathroom, and I'll get the razor and
toothbrush."

Jess was already in the shower by the time Chuck had returned with the
razor and toothbrush, and as he stepped out, Chuck got in.  Jess was
drying himself with the towel when David and Tyler appeared at the door.

"We need some towels, there aren't any in the hall closet!"  David said,
never taking his eyes off my midsection.

Jess felt himself blush slightly, but moved to the linen closet and got
out two towels, then handed one to each of the boys, without covering
himself.  Tyler had to nudge David in the ribs to snap him out of his
daze, and they ran out of the room and down the hall.  Jess wrapped his
towel around his waist and began to shave.  By the time he had finished,
Chuck was getting out of the shower.  Jess saw Chuck's reflection in the
mirror and got a very good view of his naked body, mentally comparing him
to the men that he had seen in the video he had partially watched.  He
knew instantly that Chuck couldn't have been either of the two men, but
then as Chuck turned and bent over to dry his feet, he noticed something
else, on his left butt cheek, there was a small birthmark.  It looked
vaguely familiar, but Jess couldn't quite figure out how or where he
would have ever seen it, having never seen him naked before today.  Jess
finished shaving then brushed his teeth and went into the bedroom to
dress.  When Chuck came from the bathroom, Jess told him that he was
going to go  check on the boys while he finished dressing.

Jess went down the hall to find both boys getting out of the shower
together, which didn't really surprise him, since they took showers
together at school and after practice.

"Come on you  two, get a move on, we don't want to hold things up waiting
for you guys to get ready."

"Can you dry my back Coach?" David asked, turning around as he handed me
his towel.

Jess sat down on the lid of the commode, and began drying his back,
starting at the shoulders and working his way down.  When he got to his
firm little butt, the towel slipped, and his bare hand moved across and
down his soft, damp cheek.  Jess quickly grabbed the towel again and
finished, as Tyler pushed David aside.

"My turn!"

Jess dutifully dried Tyler's back, then swatted him gently on the butt.
"Now, you two get dressed!"

As they  scampered out of the bathroom, Jess was glad that Chuck had
given him the briefs, because his cock had hardened while he was drying
the two young hellions and the briefs kept it from  sticking straight
out.  The boys came out of David's room just as Chuck was coming out of
his.

"We can  take  my SUV, " Chuck said as he pulled the keys from his
pocket.

After stopping for sodas at the gas station, and driving for thirty
minutes, listening to several choruses of "99 bottles of beer", they
finally arrived at the stables.  The owner took them out to the barns
where they saddled four horses and headed out for a ride.  An hour and a
half later, they were sitting under some trees, while the horses grazed
in the field.  Chuck and Jess watched as the boys played around in the
grass.

"Chuck, can I ask you a personal question?"

"Sure Jess, ask away."

"How come you have David and your ex-wife has your other boy?"

"Well, long story short, we each agreed to take one of the boys, which
eliminated either of us from getting or paying child support, and the
judge decided that since David was already ten, he could pick which
parent he wanted to live with, and he chose me."

"Do you ever wish it was the other way around, or that she had both
boys?"

"No, not at all.  David is more like me,  he loves football, and horses,
and he has a head for business.  Keith, my other boy, is into music and
artistic things like his mother.  They go to a lot of plays and things
like that, and he couldn't be happier.  But there are times when I wish I
had both boys.  I would be lying if I said I didn't miss him."

Jess was quiet for a moment, then looked back at Chuck.

"Sometimes, I wish I had gotten married and had kids.  I know, I have the
kids at school, and the boys on the team, but it's not really the same.
I do have two nephews  that come over sometimes and spend the weekend,
and I guess I am like a dad to them, because their dad isn't in the
picture at home, but sometimes I just wish."

Jess choked up a little as Chuck put his arm around his shoulder.

"Listen buddy, you see that little boy over there with my son?  That boy
looks up to you as if you were his dad!  You heard what he said earlier,
he actually called you dad, I heard him, and believe me, when a boy calls
you dad, he means it!  Whether you know it or not, that boy loves you,
and it's not a teacher-student type of love, or even a coach-player
thing, it's real dad and son love, and that's the best kind of love there
is!"

Jess looked at Chuck, then looked back over at the boys playing.  He
smiled as he realized that Chuck was right.  Tyler did love him, and he
loved the boy too, more than anything or anyone in the world.

"I guess we had better head back," Chuck said, "It will soon  be time for
Tyler's mother to pick him up won't it?"

"Yeah, but then again, she may  not show up at all, she's been doing that
more and more lately."

They got up and called the boys, as they gathered up the horses, helped
the boys up onto theirs, then mounted up as well to head back to the
stables.

Once they got to the barn, they took off the saddles, brushed the horses
down, and put them into their stalls, then headed back to Chuck's house.

As Jess and Tyler started to back out of the driveway, Jess spoke softly
to Chuck,  "Thanks for a great weekend, and everything else too!"

Chuck just smiled as he and David waved bye to them.
