The Cabin by the Lake part II

Chapter 2

The guys from the lake arrived at Judy's office a little before 10:00. When
they walked into the waiting room, a woman was playing the piano. Joel and
Jeremy immediately ran over to her and both starting crying.

She started to stop but Joel begged her to continue. "Our grandmother
played the same song on her piano. We thought that she had returned but she
can't because she was killed in an accident and she is in heaven now. I bet
she is playing for all the angels," Joel said.

"Boys, would you like to sit on the piano bench with me. If you know the
song, you can sing along with me. I bet you both are very good singers."

Kyle and Dennis took a step toward the boys but Judy touched them on the
arm and shook her head no. After playing a short introduction, she and the
boys started singing `Yankee Doodle' Kyle, Dennis, Judy, and Aunt Clara all
sang along with her.

When she finished playing, Jeremy asked, "Do you know `Puff the Magic
Dragon'?" She didn't answer and just started playing and again everyone
started singing.

When they reached the end of the song, Aunt Clara said, "Boys, I think we
had better stop for now because we do have some business to discuss. First
of all, introductions are in order. This is my very good friend, Patsy
Johns. Pat, I would like for you to meet Joel and Jeremy, my nephews. This
is Dennis and Kyle, the couple who plan on adopting Joe and Jeremy."

Joel and Jeremy grabbed her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Dennis and
Kyle walked up and Pat extend her hand. Dennis said, " We are hugger not
shakers." Both Kyle and Dennis gave her a big hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Thanks, for that grand way you welcomed us. The boys, Dennis and I were
all a little up tight but you certainly put us at ease," said Kyle.

"I have a little confession, Aunt Clara is the one who suggested that I
play the boys' favorite song. You see I was also tied in knots and it was a
very good way to relieve some of the tension," said Pat.

"Pat, I assume that Aunt Clara has filled you in on all the details of why
we are here. I think that you should know up front that Kyle and I are
domestic partners, which means we are gay. I certainly hope that this won't
be a stumbling block for you," Dennis stated.

"Dennis, you and Kyle being partners does not trouble me one bit. I just
hope me having six toes on my left foot doesn't bother you," laughed Pat.

"Pat, do you really have six toes on your left foot. Can I see them?" said
Jeremy all excited.

Pat looked toward Kyle and Dennis for guidance. "Pat, this is your problem
and now it is up to you to solve it. I think I am with Jeremy. I would like
to see it also!" exclaimed Kyle.

Pat didn't say anything and just started removing her shoe and sock. "Okay,
Jeremy you get first peek and then you Kyle. The rest of you close you
eyes. Remember, just look and no touch."

"Pat, you cheated! You don't have six toes. You just painted one on you big
toe!" shouted Jeremy.

Laughing Pat said, "Hey, Guys! I got you this time."

Kyle replied, "Chalk one up for your side, but we will get even, right
Jeremy?"

"You bet! We'll get you big time!" giggled Jeremy.

"Pat, you're just what we were looking for. I think you will fit right into
this family. I don't know how much Judy and Aunt Clara have told you but
Kyle and I run a very successful wilderness packing operation called The
Wilderness Experience located at Elk Lake. Therefore, during the summer we
will be gone a lot, some times we may be gone for several days. We will
take the boys with us most of the time, however, the rest of the time they
will be left in your care. When you don't have the boys, you will have free
time. You can go shopping, visiting, come with us, or whatever turns you
on. Your main responsibility will be the boys but you can cook, help around
the house or whatever. You decide and if we ask you do something, you can
always say no if you want. No, you won't have to do windows or wash dished
by hand. What I am saying is the job is yours if you want it. If not, thank
you," said Dennis.

"I made up my mind as soon as Aunt Clara and Judy told me about the job. Of
course, I'll accept. I have fallen in love with four of the best looking
guys around. Only one thing, you can't call me Pat or Mrs. Johns. Mom will
do just fine. Oh, one more thing, Mom would like a big hug to seal this
bargain." She was mobbed by four guys, two of them were squealers.

Judy received a call on her cell and she excused herself and left to answer
it. She was just on the other side of a large plate glass window and in
plain view of everyone in the room. Everyone saw her face become very pale
and she had a very shocked look. She even had to sit down. Judy closed the
phone to end the conversation and just sat there taking some very deep
breaths. She rose and started back into the room. Dennis and Kyle were by
her side immediately.

Kyle asked, "Judy, we know that you got some bad news. Would like for me to
get you a glass of water or something?"

"Thank you, but I will be ok. You are right, I just receive some very
disturbing news and I don't think you'll like it one little bit. Let's go
back into the room and I will tell everyone at once."

"Aunt Clara, you lawyer just called and has some bad news. The cousins that
you mentioned filled a petition to get custody of the boys and have been
granted a court date for tomorrow morning at 9:00 am."

Aunt Clara cried, "Oh, no! I was afraid something like this was going to
happen." She couldn't go on. She sat in a chair and buried her face in her
hands and started sobbing. Kyle and Dennis rushed to her side and took her
in their arms and just held her tight.

Joel and Jeremy started crying. Judy and Pat moved to the boys and took
them in their arms. "Does that mean that we can't live with Kyle and Dennis
any more? I don't want to leave them. Please Judy, can you do something?"
sobbed Joel.

"Listen everyone! Now that the shock is over. Let's have a big group hug
and shed some more tears. Then we can plan our next move," explained Judy
"We haven't lost yet, and we are not giving up with out a big fight!"

After about a minute, Judy had everyone sit and stood in front of the small
group. "Aunt Clara, you lawyer would like to meet with all of us in his
office as soon as we can get there. Dennis and Kyle, your lawyer will be
there also. They want us to plan our attack for tomorrow's court
hearing. We want to present a well planned and unified front. Pat, do you
think that you and the boys could find something fun to do. You could take
my car and one of my cell phones. Do you know how to find the Penny Arcade
out on Division Street. I bet that would fun!"

"I sure do. You can bet we'll find something to do. Can't we boys? Maybe
even a walk in the park and feed the ducks."

"Sure thing, Mom. Can we go now?" asked Joel.

"May we go now? Let's do it then!" Mom said.

"We'll, call you when we return to my office," said Judy

Dennis took $50 out of his wallet and handed it to Mom. "Don't forget that
the Dairy Queen has the best milkshakes in town. Don't let the boys
convince you that they need a large one, a small one will do just
fine. Boys, remember you manners and listen to Mom. Love you and see you
when you get back. Have fun!"

The boys gave everyone a hug and they were on their way, squealing with
delight.

Larry met the group when they walked in to his office.

"Please follow me, Jim is already in there waiting. We really have our work
cut out for us now. If we all pool our resources, we shouldn't have a
problem."

"I have checked the courts schedule and we have a court date in two
weeks. The lawyer for the cousins is from out of town, so I don't know how
he was able to get a court date as soon as he did. He must have some really
good connections, which could cause problems. He is working with one of the
local lawyers here in town who is new and I don't know anything about
him. Judge Allison has been assigned to preside over the case. He is fair
enough but I prefer Judge Riley. She has been assigned our case." Jim
explained.

Larry explained, "I'm going to ask that the judge to throw the case out.
I'll try to get it at the same time as the one we have scheduled. By
combining the two, we can save the county a ton of money. That of course,
will be one thing, I will stress. Clara, I have requested that your case be
sent to the probate office and maybe we can have a decision by late
afternoon. We need a ruling by a probate Judge stating that you and the
boys are the only living legal heirs. We are putting a clause in it saying
that Clara will put half of the estate in trust and she will be named
trustee. Then we can start the probate process. This will of course, be in
our favor and will remove the dollar signs from the cousins eyes. The final
settlement may take six months before it is complete."

"I have done the same thing for the boys. They are the only heirs of their
father and his parents. Their father was an only child, so any thing from
the grandparents would go to Joel and Jeremy. I have asked that Kyle be the
executor of the estate and Dennis to be added when he turns 21 in a few
months. This is not as urgent as Clara's case. There is no way the cousins
can get any of this unless of course they happen to be appointed executors
of the estate and under certain conditions they could be given complete
control of the money and spend it as they see fit. If this be case, I will
file an immediate appeal and this case could be tied up for a long time. I
doubt that this will happen but I don't want to take any chances," Jim
said.

"Now, Judy, you will be playing a key role. Joel and Jeremy are wards of
the state and have been placed in your care until such time as you find
permanent foster care, custody is awarded, adoption or you responsibility
has been transferred to someone else. It is your responsibility to do
background checks, secure references and make recommendations to insure the
boy's well-being and safety. I must ask, Have you done any of this for the
cousins or any one else involved in the case?" asked Larry. "I will be
calling on you for your testimony, if need be."

"Larry, in answer to you questions, no, I have not. I have never met the
cousins nor have I had an interview with them, their representatives or any
one connected with them," replied Judy. "Of course, I have done all the
preliminary work on Kyle and Dennis. I have completed all the paperwork and
filed every thing with the Juvenile Courts. It is my intentions to request
that permanent custody or adoption be given to them.

"Good, Judy! Bring all you documented paper work that you have turned over
to the court, you petitions and anything connected with case. If the judge
does not throw the cousins' case out, we can present all the evidence to
him and he can make the decision on the adoption. Be prepared!"

"Kyle and Dennis, I want you to be there also. Bring the boys and Pat
along. We may have to present our case. If need be, we will," Jim said.

"Clara, you will be there also, right? Bring any documentation that you
have showing that you and the boys are the sole heirs. If you have a family
Bible,old letters, or any thing else you can find.  The bible would be just
be just perfect."

"Please excuse the interruption but I know this is something that you need.
Larry, the call form Judge Harrison came. He said that he will sign the
papers stating that Clara is sole heir. He knows the family well, and would
like to have her come with any documentation that she has just to make it
legal. He just gave me the message and I told him you would stop by later
in the day," Larry's secretary said.

"Thanks, Sue! It looks like we just jumped over one hurdle. I just hope
there aren't too many more. I am getting to old to be doing all this hurdle
jumping. I know that someday I will trip on the top bar and fall flat on my
face or my butt."
