Subject: Where Life Takes Us - Chapter 4

	Well lets go: This story is Fictional, all similarities to someones
life are completely coincidental. The story itself and the characters in it
belong to me, kuragari129. If this is illegal for you to view this in your

	This chapter I will try and speed things up. I wont linger on
Wyatt's birthday like I do in Life's Expectations but I wont make it super
short either. This chapter I will try and focus more around Talon and his
shyness. Lets see how that works out.

	So last chapter you guys met Zaine, Brett, and Dante. Let me make
something very clear, This story is a slow starter for the sexual
content. Last chapter will probably be the only sexual act for a while. But
you met Talon's friends.

	As I said this chapter will be more about Talon's shyness but I
will also introduce some extended family. You'll meet the other
grandparents! So I hope you enjoy the chapter! If you have any
questions/comments/concerns of this chapter or story email me at

	Chapter 4 – Raise your Glass


	The day arrived, July 7th Wyatt's birthday, and it was like nothing
was going to happen. Wyatt had spent most of the night playing League of
Legends with Brett and Talon. He woke up at a 'late' 10 am and got out of
bed.

	When he arrived downstairs he was welcomed by everyone, Kayla even
had a smile on her face. There was a small store bought cake with Wyatt's
name on it and a single wrapped box on the counter.

	Wyatt came up slowly blushing, "You already got me so much, you
didn't need to get me more." He looked over at the cake, no more than 20
dollars for that right?, he thought to himself.

	Kenneth smiled, "Wyatt we celebrate birthdays in this
household. Yours just so happened to be close to when you moved in. We may
have bought you many things but not many toys."

	Wyatt took the card off the box an opened it. The card read Happy
birthday on the cover. When he opened it each family member had their own
little birthday wish for him, Talon's took 3/4s of a page. When he finally
removed the wrapping paper Wyatt found a remote control helicopter.

	Talon had gone info gathering for his parents. He found out exactly
what toy Wyatt would enjoy the most. Talon was pound when Wyatt started
jumping up and down spinning around at his gift. It filled him with joy
that he definitely got the right gift.

	Wyatt and Talon raced through breakfast and cake. As soon as they
were done they ran outside and took the toy for a test flight. They were
outside for two hours before they realized it was lunch time and went for
food.

	The entire day was centered around Wyatt. Breakfast, lunch and
dinner were all Wyatt's favorites. Dinner was Butter Chicken, which Wyatt
had first tried only a few days ago. He was convinced it was the best thing
you could do with chicken.

	The day was over faster than it began. Sooner than later Wyatt was
past out on his bed music playing from his laptop and his bedroom light
still on. Diana found him and turned everything off and gave him a kiss on
his cheek.

	The next couple of days were normal. Wyatt ended up helping out the
maids, Jesse and Rachael. Wyatt enjoyed helping out around the house. He
learned exactly how clean something must be for Jesse to be satisfied. This
lead to Wyatt's room being cleaner than the others.

	The Luis house was calm for a couple of days. It wasn't until the
16th that something occurred. Diana got a call from her parents that they
would be in town tomorrow and would require a room for a few days. Diana
felt that this experience would not be a kind one toward Wyatt.

	So once the family was informed arrangements were made for where
the grandparents slept. They usually slept in the room that was now
Wyatt's, so they would have to sleep in a different spare room now. Once
again Diana knew this would not go over well with their parents.

	Diana knew how her parents would react to adopting a 12, now 13
year old, and so did Kenneth. Grandpa Hans, and Granny Helen were very
against adoption. They believed that if a child were to be raised it should
be by their own parents, not 'fake' ones.

	Knowing this Diana had to warn the entire family. "Kayla, Wyatt,
Talon, Caitlyn Grandpa Hans and Granny Helen are going to be staying here a
for a couple of days." There was cheers all around, "Before you get to
excited, they don't know we adopted Wyatt yet."

	"What, why not!?" Talon almost jumped out of his seat.

	Diana anticipated such a response, "In short, they don't believe in
adoption."

	"That's dumb! How is adoption bad? It gives kids families and
parents kids."

	"Your right Talon, but your Grandparents think it should be the
birth mother and father to raise the child, not a family like us." Talon
was about to speak again but was hushed by his father. "While your
grandparents are here I ask you to act as you normally would. Try your best
to be how it always is."

	With his new knowledge Talon planted a seed in his mind to hate his
grandparents. He never liked his mothers parents. They were always critical
of him and his siblings. They would always claim his bathroom for their own
and force Talon to use a different one. In a way making them stay in
another room was the beginning of Talon's revenge.

	It was ten in the morning when the Luis' were standing outside
waiting for their visitors. They arrived a few minutes after in a top of
the line SUV. Hans got out first acting like a chauffeur letting his wife
out.

	The elderly woman made her way over to her daughter, "It's so nice
to see you dear."

	"As it is to see you mother. You should have called earlier we
would have made better preparations."

	"Oh I'm sure you did fine." The woman moved down the line, "Kenneth
still doing what ever it is you do?"

	"I am a banker who also buys and sells stocks." This must have been

	"I can never remember that. Kayla you have grown since I last saw
you."

	"I last saw you when I was 12 I hope I have grown since then."
Kayla when she gets proper warning always goes out for the time her
grandparents are in town. Kayla and Talon share the same opinion of their
mother's parents.

	"Talon, what is wrong with your hair? It looked so good last time."
Talon had a almost a buzz cut last time he saw his grandmother.

	"I like it this way. It offers more styles than having really short
hair." Talon's facade was in full force. There wasn't an ounce of any
distaste for his grandmother.

	"Oh Caitlyn you are growing into a fine young woman. Who do we have
here?" Helen walked past Caitlyn to Wyatt, "Are you Jesse's boy?"

	"Ma'am I don't have any boys, I have 3 girls."

	"Mother this is the newest addition to our family, Wyatt." Helen
turned and looked at her daughter, "Boys, why don't you take their things
to their room?"

	Talon and Wyatt went and grabbed the bags and were out of the way
before anything could happen. Caitlyn and Kayla went back to their own
thing. Jesse and Racheal went back to cleaning. Leaving just Diana and
Kenneth to face Helen and Hans' wrath.

	Of course Helen started the conversation, "What were you thinking
adopting!?"

	"Talon was being very antisocial and then Wyatt came into the
picture." Diana started to explain.

	"So you thought Talon needed a pet brother!?"

	"Wyatt is not a pet mother. They had met and were friends long
before we even considered adopting Wyatt."

	"So now Talon has his own play toy in the form of a
'brother'. Adoption never leads to good things Diana. Wyatt will be a
trouble child, what if his actual parents file for custody?"

	"Mother we have thought everything through. There isn't an issue
with having little Wyatt in our home."

	"Like hell there isn't. He is the problem..."

	Kenneth cut his mother in law off, "If you don't shut your mouth
you can sleep at a hotel for the night. Wyatt is a member of our
family. We, as in me and my wife, have decided that it would be a good
thing for the entire family. Even my father believes it is a good thing!"

	"You will not threaten me. I will come and go as I please!"

	"This is not your home. It is Diana's and my home. You are a guest
and you will act like one or you will be asked to leave. We've had more
than one problem with you staying in our home already."

	Helen walked on by into the home. Hans wished his wife wasn't so
stubborn, "I sorry your mother has such views. We've been together 47 years
and I can't get her to change her mind."

	"You don't need to apologize dad. Its mom who needs a rain check."
The trio smiled and walked into the house. Where they would find Helen
complaining her 'room' was being used by Wyatt.

	Once calmed down and settled into their room Hans and Helen went
about catching up with the grandchildren. Hans has always had more of an
interest with Talon and now he was interested with how Wyatt came into the
picture. Helen got her head talked off by Caitlyn about the gossip of an
eight year old.

	Hans listened intently to the boys telling their story. They didn't
miss a single visit and told everything they could remember about
them. Hans was quite fond of Wyatt, he agreed with his daughter Talon was
happier.

	Helen, with her talk with Caitlyn, was told all the 'awesome'
things about Wyatt. Even Kayla was growing to like the new family
member. Helen couldn't understand how or why they could enjoy him so much.

	Helen's parents adopted a newborn when she was 13. As a result a
lot of the attention went from her to the newborn. She has always thought
that a adopted child just makes it harder to love your own children. With
that in her head for 60 years there was no changing her mind.

	Diana never met her uncle growing up. She never saw him at any
time. Not at Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter. In fact she never even heard
of him until she was 21 and he past away from a car crash. She pleaded to
go to the funeral but Helen would have nothing of it. Now 21 years later,
she still wished she could have gone.

	When it was finally dinner time, everyone sat at the dinning room
table. A rare occasion in the Luis house. Once again it was Helen's ideals,
'a family must eat at the dinner table every night.' Kenneth and Diana had
a different one: The dinner table is for special occasions. Which is why
they invested in a breakfast bar.

	The family said grace and ate dinner in silence. Helen ruled
everything she was involved in with an iron fist. Not talking and eating
everything on your plate are just two of her dinner table rules.

	Wyatt per usual finished his dinner first. "May I be excused?" It
was only 20 minutes after starting eating dinner.

	"How are you already done my boy?" Hans asked.

	Wyatt blushed, "In the orphanage when you finished you could go
back to what you were doing. I wasn't allowed to bring my books to dinner
so I always ate fast so I could go and read them."

	"Rinse your dish and you may go, Wyatt." Kenneth smiled to the
boy. Wyatt smiled and walking towards the kitchen. When he had left the
room Wyatt quickly did his dishes and raced up to his room, away form
Helen.

	Slowly the children finished their meals. First Kayla, then Talon,
Caitlyn took about an hour. Since she had to finish her dinner and she
didn't like the vegetables. In total it took an hour for the adults to be
alone in the dinning room.

	Grandpa Nicholas had joined for the dinner. "It's good to see you
two after such a long time."

	Hans answered, "It's been nice to see everyone. Wyatt seams to make
quite the difference in the house."

	"Why is the boy even here in the first place though?" Helen asked
crudely.

	"Mother!"

	"I don't care for adoption and you know this. You did this just to
attack me didn't you?"

	"Kenneth and I thought about our immediate family. The ones who
live in our home and have to see each other everyday. You weren't even
brought up while discussing it."

	"But you pushed for it to happen cause of what happened with your
Uncle!"

	"I was originally against it mother. I wasn't sure if having a
fourth child would be good for our family. So far that thought has been
proven wrong ten fold. If you continue like this you wont be welcome to
stay a second night."

	"Excuse me!

	"You heard me mother. If you continue to insult my family then I
will personally ask you to leave."

	"Kenneth, you wouldn't have any of this would you!?"

	"Darling I think you need to calm down." Hans insisted, "This has
grown out of proportion."

	"This is still in proportion Hans! Now Kenneth would you?"

	"I agree with my wife. If you insist you will not be staying a
second night. Hans, if you wish to stay you are more than welcome."

	Helen stormed out of the room. "Once again I would like to
apologize for my wife's behavior. I don't know what has her so tided up
about adoption. I personally find Wyatt a nice and polite child."

	"Thank you dad, I hope you might be able to get mom to smarten up."
Diana picked up her and her mother's plate.

	"I hope I can as well, dear." Hans brought the remaining dishes to
the kitchen and washed them up for his daughter before returning to his
wife.

	The night in the Luis family was mixed. Grandpa Nicholas, Hans,
Diana, and Wyatt all had troubled sleeps. Talon, Caitlyn, Kayla and Helen
all slept like babies.

	It before noon when Hans and Helen were on their way. Helen had
decided that they had extended their visit longer than it should be. Hence
Helen leaving early with out a good bye. Hans said good-bye to all who were
awake

	When Talon awoke he expected to see his grandfather. When he
entered the kitchen Wyatt was sitting with Kenneth. "Where's Grandpa?"

	"Grandma decided that she wanted to get going. They left about half
an hour ago."

	"Aka: The witch took him away."

	"Wyatt, that is enough"

	"I'm sorry... She didn't even give me a chance, she just hated me."
Wyatt stared into his pancakes in self doubt.

	Talon hugged his brother, "Well we love you and that's what
counts!"

	"Wyatt, even if someone is to hate you. They don't matter in your
life. The ones who love you for who you are are the ones that matter. But
that doesn't mean you can call them names."

	"Sorry..."

	"The older you get, the easier it will be for you to understand
what I just said." Kenneth got up and messed up the boys' hair. "And Wyatt,
you can call me dad if you wish."

	"It still feels weird right now. I'll try though."

	"If it makes it easier you can call me Ken. Kenneth is just so
professional." The three exchanged smiles before continuing on their days.

	Chapter end.

	I AM SO SORRY FOR THE LONG WAIT!!!! Vacation and figuring out where
I left off and how I was going to get the chapter to work. It all took so
long for me to get motivated again into writing this chapter.

	Don't worry I am motivated enough now to continue writing my
stories! I also have another story in mind to intertwine with Life's
Expectations. Kind of a small back story to a semi major character in Gage
and Nick's back story.

	Moving on! If you have any idea send me an email at
kuragari129@hotmail.com. Anything is welcome to be said! Thanks for
reading!

	p.s. I bought 8 games while on vacation.... I have beaten one and
have started the rest... I beat boobs, I mean Tomb Raider (inside joke with
my friends) and am working on The Last of Us! Naughty Dogs... I love you!
Not as much as Squenix but I still love you!
