The following is a work of fiction and is the property of the author.  If
you are bothered by same sex relationships, read no farther.  This is a
story about the inter-relationships of males of differing ages.  It's a
story with some sex, not sex with some story.

Pop

Chapter 17

New Year's Eve was spent in quiet celebration in the apartment with our
fully extended family.  The younger boys played with Nintendo and some of
the hand held computers and board games they had received for Christmas.
The older boys played with the new pool table which Dexter had given the
family.  I had never realized how entertaining it would be to sit and watch
four younger men as they circle the pool table, bending to tap the ball
with their cue as their snug trousers hugged every curve of their tight
butts and thighs.  It was sometimes like an erotic dance and made me
constantly think how nice it would be when everyone went home, or to bed
and I could really ring in the New Year with Dex.

The physical sex with Dex had originally started out great and gotten
better and better, as had the mental sex.  He was an extremely intelligent
man and I often conjectured he had developed his fabulous body to hide his
outstanding mind.  He had a skill with handling people which extended from
our staff and customers right down to counseling and guiding our boys.  His
natural care for them caused them to quickly treasure his friendship and
trust him implicitly.  He had a natural, grounded approach to life which he
not only lived by, but influenced others toward, just by being with them.
Dex was an alpha male not because of a domineering preoccupation with being
number one, but because of his natural ability to lead and cause others to
wish to follow.  He was unique.

In our bedroom, we were well matched.  Dex had a curious and adventurous
spirit which fit perfectly with my maturity and steadfast experience.  When
he would lead, we would be open to enthusiasm and fast paced fulfillment.
When I led, we indulged ourselves in lengthy passion and exploration of our
senses and commitment.  It was an ideal mix for both of us, which at a whim
we could reverse and surprise both ourselves and our partner.  To satisfy
our dominant personality traits, we each took responsibility for certain
specific portions of our lives.  These areas were not absolute and if one
encountered a problem with some aspect of the other's territory, we
negotiated to resolve the problem.  I can honestly say there were very few
occasions when a raised voice or harsh word ever occurred between us.

Early New Year's morning as we finally reached our room, I was so hot I
could have spontaneously combusted.  My cock had been rigid for the last
two hours and every man I looked at for the last hour had appeared in my
mind to be naked.

"Strip, boy."  I ordered gruffly as our bedroom door was closed.  Dex
turned his head slightly and glanced at me.  He could read me like a
Braille book, even at a distance and my excitement shone from me like a
beacon.  In an instant his clothing lay in a heap on the floor beside him
and all he was left wearing was a big, sexy grin.  He walked to me and
dropped onto his knees.  Grasping my butt in both hands he rubbed his face
over my groin causing me to gasp and groan as he nibbled on my cock shaft
through my slacks.  I unfastened my pants and he slid them and my shorts
smoothly down my legs

My manhood was as stiff now as it had ever been and when his lips
surrounded the head I gave into my lust, grabbing the back of his head
firmly and sliding it down his throat.  Dex knew how to handle a cock.  He
swallowed, massaging the head and shaft and nearly brought me over the
edge.  I slid out of his mouth.

"A couple more seconds and I would have been all done."  I told him.  "I'd
like to at least get in you before I blow my wad."

"Why don't you let me get you off ?  Then we can start from the beginning
slowly."  he suggested.

"I'm really excited tonight."  I admitted.  `When I blow, it's going to be
a big one.  I can't be sure I'll be up to a second session before morning.

"That's okay, David."  he responded.  "I'd like you to have a big one
however you want.  You're the boss."  I knew if we just got started and I
ejaculated it would not be much of a night for Dex, but if we both got off
and then we took our time later, we would both be way ahead.

"Let's 69 for now and see what comes up later."  I suggested, knowing he
would accept it as a direction rather than a suggestion.  We climbed on our
bed, head to toe, and settled into an oral adventure.  Dex proved to be
just as excited as I was, so when we both had engulfed the other's manhood,
it was not anytime at all before we delivered major loads into our
partner's gullet.

Sleep captured both of us as we held one another and cuddled.  It seemed
like we had just closed our eyes and there was a knock, knock, knock at the
bedroom door.  Actually it was more like a pound, pound, pound.

"Hey, guys.  It's 10 o'clock."  Timmy's voice yelled from outside our door.
"Tom says, I can have some cereal, but I want pancakes."

"Timmy.  I told you not to wake them up."  We could hear Tom scolding.  "Am
I going to have to come over there and thump you before you listen ?"

"I was listening."  Tim insisted.  "I just want pancakes, not cold cereal."

"Okay, you're in trouble now."  Tom threatened.  "I'm going to go and tell
Billy you woke up Pop and Dex.  Wait `til he finds out."

"No, Tom.  Don't.  Don't tell Billy."  Tim pleaded in a whiny voice only a
youngster can produce.  "I don't want him to be mad at me.  I'll eat the
cold cereal."

Silence.

"I guess our big morning `SEX-O-RAMA' is going to have to wait, so we can
save poor Timmy from the cold cereal demon."  Dex whispered to me.  "At
least we now know the truth about the old question, `Does having children
affect your sex life ?'."

"I'm beginning to appreciate all those couples who answered, `What sex life
?'."  I responded to Dex while chuckling.

"You have an I.O.U. to be used anytime you want."  Dex declared, giving me
a bright morning smile as he pecked my lips and slid from our bed.

"You too, My Love."  I promised.

				----------------------------------

On Saturday, January 4th in the early hours of the morning, Mattie Horton
passed away.  Billy and I were there when she died, Billy sitting quietly,
holding her hand.  We had spent the night at the hospital, knowing the end
was near.  It had been a peaceful night, Billy and I talking quietly,
Mattie semi-conscious, but not experiencing any pain.  I'm sure Mattie knew
we were with her as she squeezed Billy's hand several times throughout our
vigil.

After the Doctor had pronounced her death, Billy released her hand and came
over to me.

"Can I grieve now, Pop ?"  he asked and when I nodded to him, this manly,
sixteen year old, sat on my lap, placed his head on my shoulder and wept
softly, allowing himself to express a boy's sorrow from within..

The funeral, two days later, was small, with our extended family and a few
of Mattie's friends and neighbours.  Bill spoke briefly at the church and
reminded everyone we had gathered to celebrate his Mother's life, not
grieve our loss.  He managed well with his grief and allowed his brothers
to extend comfort and companionship to him throughout the following weeks.
I know watching Bill deal with his grief helped Greg and Brian to finally
bring some closure to their feelings of loss and despair over their parents
as well.


Chapter 18

By the beginning of February, our little hive was taking on the look of a
happy and productive operation.  All of our schedules were set, the boys
were attending school and all were doing well, Brenda was all aglow
monitoring the success of her growing family, Cliff and John were both up
for promotions and the Health Club was busy, busy, busy.  Into every well
oiled machine a little disruption must fall.

Her name was Millicent Tudpost and she was Betty Grolier's new Supervisor.
They had come, by appointment, on a "courtesy" call, so Ms. Tudpost could
become more familiar with Betty's case work.

"Very nice to meet you, David."  she greeted me at Betty's introduction.
There was a certain tone to her voice and the manner in which she extended
her hand and then shook mine which caused the little hairs on the back of
my neck stand up.

"Thank you, Millicent."  I replied and noted the slight pause she had as I
used her given name like she had used mine.  This lady was out to dominate
the situation and I imagine she was use to having her own way.  "Please,
come and sit in the lounge area.  We will have a little time to talk before
the boys start coming home from school."  She and Betty followed me to our
comfortable seating area.  After preliminary chatter, Millicent got to the
core of what she was after.

"There seem to be some problems with the placements which we have put in
your care, Mr. Merrill."  she stated.  I expect I was suppose to show
concern at this point and draw out information from her in bits and pieces,
but I just sat quietly and waited for her to continue which seemed to make
her a little uneasy.

"I see Mr. Hyatt has moved into the residence without obtaining our
approval."  she pointed out accusingly.  "This is a small offense, but then
it was repeated when Billy Horton also moved in without our approval.  We
can't have just anyone living here while our boys are in residence."

"Dex and Billy moved in while only Tom and Timmy were living here with me."
I responded.  "The boys required more residential support than I could
provide alone and they approved of his moving in.  Dex has applied for his
Fostering License.  Billy was placed here by State Troopers.  I thought
your Agency co-operated with the Police Departments.  After they were here,
your Agency saw fit to ask us to accept further emergency placements which
pretty well endorsed them being here, wouldn't you say ?"  I now waited
quietly for Ms.  Tudpost to reply.

"Well yes, I can see your point."  she grudgingly admitted after a pause.
"We just need to see approvals are given to cover changes in your
household."

"I'm quite sure you are vastly qualified to wade through the necessary
bureaucratic red tape, Ms. Tudpost.  We tend to be a little too busy
looking after the boys' immediate needs to worry if we dot all the i's and
cross all the t's.  The boys are of course the most important thing, don't
you think ?"  I stopped and waited for her to acknowledge my question.

"Well of course they are."  she acknowledged.

"I'm glad we agree."  I replied.

"You have had several very difficult cases, all in a very short space of
time."  she observed.  "Betty notes that she has spent nominal counseling
time with the boys, because you have handled most of the counseling.  What
type of counseling experience have you had, David."  I could see Betty
physically tense up when the question was asked.

"I have a number of years youth counseling experience working under
Dr. Eleanor McDivott."  I told her, naming the prestigious University.  "I
have also found Betty to be an excellent Supervisor, guiding me whenever I
have been uncertain."

"Actually I would like to comment here."  Betty interjected.  "David is a
superior therapist and in truth, I have learned a great deal from him in a
very brief time.  One aspect of this is the boys come to trust David
totally, within a very short period of time, so he is in a much better
position to reach them than anyone else.  You know how backed up our
psychological referrals are and I believe the boys in this residence will
not need therapy beyond what they are receiving here."

"I know about the work of Dr. McDivott in child therapy and she is an
outstanding educator."  Millicent admitted.  "We appear to have gotten a
bonus when you signed on with us, Mr. Merrill.  I look forward to seeing
the boys, to see how well they are adjusting to living here, in a
homosexual home."  The last two words were said in a manner which implied a
lower status which I thought was likely a dig for her having to admit the
therapy issue.

I didn't get a chance to say anything further as at that moment the
elevator doors opened and out poured our five young residents chattering,
laughing and carrying on.

"Miss Grolier !"  Timmy announced in a loud voice on spotting Betty sitting
in the lounge area and came charging over.  Seeing someone he couldn't
identify, he stopped abruptly.  "I'm sorry if I interrupted the
conversation."  he apologized quietly.

"It's okay, Timmy.  We've been waiting for you guys."  Betty said, standing
and stretching her arms out to him.  He proceeded immediately to collect
his hug.

I called the other boys over and introduced them to our guest.  Each was
polite, but you could feel the air of uncertainty from them.  They were
invited to sit with us and talk.  I took the opportunity to excuse myself
for a few minutes and went down to the Club to see Dex and Brenda.  I
wanted Ms. Tudpost to have an open opportunity to question the boys about
living with us and find out for herself if they were happy.

Returning to the apartment about 15 minutes later, I was immediately
enveloped by an atmosphere of anger and hostility.  Millicent remained
seated where I had left her in the lounge, but she was alone.  Betty was in
the kitchen area with Tom and Billy.  The other boys were seated around the
dining table.  Tom appeared in an agitated state and Betty was trying to
calm him down.  Everyone exuded either animosity or antagonism or both..

"Hey guys.  What's going on ?"  I inquired as I entered the common area.
When Tom heard my voice, he came whipping out of the kitchen and over to
me, wrapping his arms around my chest tightly and holding on to me.

"You know what she did, Pop ?"  Timmy called to me from where he was seated
at the table, pointing at Millicent Tudpost.  "She asked Tom if you or Dex
ever touched him on his penis."

"It's all right, guys."  I soothed them, stroking Tom's back gently as I
spoke.  "Ms. Tudpost is just making sure you guys aren't being treated
improperly.  She might not have asked very diplomatically, but she is just
covering all the bases."  The boys seemed to calm down a little at my
assurance and I suggested they take their things into their rooms and start
any homework they had for tonight.  I then guided Tom back into the lounge
area with me and we sat down together.

"Tom, what did you tell Ms. Tudpost when she asked about touching you ?"  I
asked.

"He told me I was a dirty minded, old bitch."  Millicent interjected with
an ill-treated tone to her voice..

"Is that what you said, Tom ?"  I asked him.  He had released me and was
sitting staring daggers at Millicent.

"Yes, Sir.  That's what I said."  Tom answered.

"But that doesn't answer the question she asked."  I responded.  "Do you
want her to think you are afraid of her question ?"

"No, Sir."  he replied.  "It's just that after what all those others did to
me, asking about you and Dex is so stupid.  You two are the only adults I
wouldn't object to touching me, but other than looking after where I was
hurt, you never would."

"It's okay, Son."  I told him.  "We'll talk about this later.  You go and
put your things away now and start your homework, or read for awhile."  I
stroked his back a couple more times as he got up and left us.

"You need to read the case files more carefully before you start asking
question, Millicent."  I commented.  "You picked the wrong one to ask that
question.  Any of the others would not have created an upset, but Tom is
still too close to his abuse.  He is just now beginning to work out his
feelings."  There was a silence.

"You knew what I was going to do, didn't you David ?"  she asked.

"I had a good idea."  I replied.

"If I were to ask you if you set me up, would you tell me ?"  she inquired.
I didn't respond, I just sat quietly.  "I don't often apologize, David, but
I do sincerely apologize to you and that young man.  The reports coming in
about this place were just too good.  I was sure two homosexual men could
not possibly be doing the wonderful work which Betty has been reporting.  I
realize it was in part my own prejudice, but I was sure I'd find a demon.
Tom found the demon and it was me.  He nailed it right on.  When I asked
him, I was being a dirty minded old bitch and he could see it."

"I'm quite willing to believe your goals were good, Millicent."  I told
her.  "You wanted what we all want, to see the boys safe and well cared
for.  We are lucky.  The boys here have responded well, they have found
security and they are healing and growing.  Let's resolve to all continue
working toward those goals as co- operatively as possible."

"It would be a pleasure to strive for those goals with you."  she
responded.  "From now on please, call me Millie."

Millicent Tudpost had arrived looking to find a den of iniquity from which
she could save the persecuted and abused children.  Instead she found a
group of bright, happy, moderately to well adjusted, young men who related
to each other and the adults who cared about them.  By the time she left,
she had tucked in her horns and made a commitment to do everything she
could to help with their continued well being.


				------------------------------

In the middle of February we celebrated Bill's seventeenth birthday.  I
discussed his wishes for a party with him a week or so ahead of time and he
felt he would like to keep the celebrations small and simple.  Brenda
insisted on cooking him a Birthday dinner and he accepted her offer, making
it clear he considered that to be a thoughtful and generous present from
her.  When asked about inviting anyone special to dinner, Bill requested we
only have our regular group and extended family come, so eleven of us were
present to embarrass him when we sang, Happy Birthday and insist that he
too put on one of the funny hats.

In spite of Bill's protestations of not wanting people to buy him gifts, he
received a nice selection of clothing items, CDs, a new electric razor,
some computer games and a gift certificate for a Driver's Course which he
quickly realized would lead to him getting his license.  Just before he
climbed into bed that night, I went and sat with him for a few minutes.
His reflections were about how fortunate he felt to have family and friends
who cared about him and his appreciation of his good fortune.  Our eldest
son was becoming a really terrific young man.


				-----------------------------------


By the end of March, I had reached a point I could barely remember what
life had been like for me before Dex and the boys.  The one thing about it
which remained with me was the memory of being lonely, a feeling I had not
encountered since Tom and Timmy first arrived.  Over the winter months, we
had all become adjusted to living with each other.  I expect learning to
live with adolescents is much different than having raised children to that
stage.  Each boy had unique qualities and eccentricities which, while
making them singular, also had to be learned by the rest of us as part of
their individuality.

Billy came to us as a loner.  Having lived all his life with just his
Mother, he was adept at being on his own.  This provided him with the
ability to be independent and to make decisions on his own.  We had
supported his continued martial arts training and three times a week, one
of us took him and picked him up from his classes.  He accepted
responsibility and had an advanced level of maturity from interacting with
adults most of his life.  On the other hand, he had a slight tendency to be
selfish in some matters and sometimes had a difficult time understanding
the younger boys were not up to his level.  Overall, he was a great young
man who adapted well to community living and what he lacked in experience
dealing with the younger boys he made up for in enthusiasm about and love
for them.

Tom was trapped living at two different levels of maturity.  On one side he
was a youth, undergoing all the changes and challenges which all older boys
becoming young men experience.  He was rapidly experiencing and adjusting
to thoughts and feelings which he had repressed for several years and
combined with the adjustments to daily life and learning, he had a full
plate to deal with.  The other half was the part of him which had
experienced a squalid side of adult sexuality.  The experience and
treatment he suffered left him with knowledge of an aspect of male
sexuality condoned by few and yet he had also gained an aspect of sexual
sophistication far beyond his tender years.  Tom had worked hard to
establish relationships with all in his new family and therapy had helped
him to accept himself as an individual, worthy of love and respect.

Timmy was a boisterous, exuberant adolescent who bubbled his way through
his daily adventures.  In therapy he had been able to release the fear and
anger which had encased him during his torment.  He had a unique
perspective of life for any human, much less a youth of his early years and
that along with a will of iron and a remarkable sense of humour had
propelled him into his new life.  His spontaneity often placed him on the
edge of trouble, but his innocence usually saved him from forging too far
into the unknown.  In any tenuous or stressful situation, it was almost
certain without realizing he had done so, Tim would blurt forth an
appropriate or significant comment which more often than not would lighten
the mood and turn events from whatever perilous direction they were headed.
His natural enthusiasm radiated from him and was bound to effect all within
his venue.

Greg was a typical 13 year old adolescent.  His thoughts and interests were
geared within the normal level of his peer group and sex, clothes, music
and girls, in that order were his preoccupation.  His sexuality was
currently in the experimental stages and his questions and desires were
being satisfied by his association with Tom.  Therapy had helped Greg deal
with the horror of his Mother's murder and he was now able to accept the
reality of the events he had witnessed and acknowledge the legitimacy of
feelings which had been generated.  Greg's Father had been found unbalanced
and committed to an institution for the criminally insane where he would
very likely remain for the rest of his life.  Although Greg had some issues
dealing with the concept of homosexual relationships, because of his
father's expressions of hatred, he was accepting of Dex and myself in our
roles as parents and resistive to any suggestion about relocating Brian and
himself.

Brian was a very quiet young boy, who we took special steps to insure was
not overlooked.  A naturally passive disposition left him vulnerable to
being swept along with the flow and in our busy household, those who did
not speak up, ran a risk of being overshadowed.  He had taken the loss of
his parents deeply and it required several sessions with him before he
would share his trust with me.  An extremely sensitive youth, he was a
thinker, who would go off quietly and read for long periods.  I had a
"spend time with Brian" sticker in my daybook calendar which I moved
forward to a day or two from when I had last visited with him.  Brian was a
true friend and admirer of Timmy, who also sensed the need to draw Brian
out and did so naturally at least three or four times a day.

These five boys had within four or five months accepted Dex and myself as
substitute parents and settled into a family structured life with us.  They
had accepted as well the extended family available to us and were gaining
the benefits which each of those special individuals were able and willing
to offer.  Brenda had become a Grandma figure to all of us, although it was
sometimes hard to picture this vital, exuberant woman as a Grandmother.
John and Cliff had become Uncle figures as they fit in with Dex as if they
were all brothers.  Neil's relationship to the family was the most
difficult to categorize, although he could easily be seen as the youngest
brother of the previously mentioned group of three. I never asked, but I
was pretty certain Tom knew about his sexual relationship with the Troopers
and if so, he appeared to be accepting of it.

Then there was Dexter, who I often thought of as "the oldest boy".  Often
it was hard to delineate his exact relationship with any one boy as it
changed from parent to big brother to co-conspirator.  He had a marvelous
ability to feel out what role would best meet their needs at any given
moment and fill that role to perfection.  He could sit and talk with them,
give them shit for some misdeed, or get down on the floor to play and
wrestle.  Each time, in each role, he was accepted and appreciated.  I knew
the strength of this man was not solely in the marvelously defined muscles
which covered his body, but in the perceptive feelings and caring which lay
within him.  He was one of a kind and I gave thanks every time I wrapped my
arms around him, or saw him guiding one of our boys, that he had come my
way.
