Chapter 11

The following day, Grandma and Grandpa boarded their flight on time and made it home in good time and safely. As soon as they made it home, they called the boys to tell them that they were home and safe, so they all breathed a sigh of relief. For the rest of the day though they spent it in the house, not really doing a whole heck of a lot, but Nathan and James did spend a good few hours writing.

The next week also went by quickly for them all, none of them going out and or doing much, other than James and Nathan getting lots written. As it always seems to, everything always seems to happen at the same time. It started with Michael calling.

“Hey there baby brother.” Mitchel grinned when he knew who was calling.

“Look who's talking there baby brother. I was just calling to talk to James, could you put him on the line please?”

“Sure.” Mitchel grinned and passed the phone over to James, telling who it was, but James already knew anyway. He had talked to both the sign maker and painter the evening before, paying them both for all their work, so he knew Michael would be calling.

“Hi there Michael. How's the store looking and going?”

“It's great. Thanks so much for everything once again. The painter and sign maker refused to take any money, saying that you had it all taken care of already, but everything looks great and business is going great, better than it ever has before. Tony loves it as well. I also got a few things in that might interest you guys, so if you can come over before I open, it would be best.”

“Oh, okay. You open at three right, so if we were to meet you there at about two, would that be good?”

“That'd be great. See you at two then.” Michael said, sounding so happy that James could hear his smile.

“Excellent, meet you there.” James smiled.

Not even ten minutes after hanging up, Nathan's phone started ringing. He knew who it was going to be though, so just said hi Grandma and Grandpa, knowing that they would be on speaker phone, because they usually were.

“Hey there Baby. You have an awful lot of explaining to do.” Grandma said, sounding serious.

“Wish I knew what for! What could I possibly have done?” Nathan asked, actually sounding worried.

“How could you have written such fantastic books, my god boy, they were amazing! Grandma and I haven't slept more than a few minutes here and there since we got home. We read every one of the books you wrote. And how could you not have let James send them in already?”

“Oh.” Was all that Nathan could say to that.

“Put James on the phone will you please?”

“Okay, but what for?” Nathan asked.

“Just do it please.” Grandma asked softly.

“Okay.” Nathan said, and then passed the phone to James. “They want to talk to you too.”

“Hi guys. Tell me, did you sleep any at all since you got home?” James laughed, knowing what and why they were calling for.

“Hell no. We thought your books were good, but his writing is amazing. And that's not just our grandparents opinion either. Against his wishes, after reading the first book each, we sent a copy to the friends, and they all agree. We finished yesterday, they all finished this morning and told us the same thing. You have to send them into your publisher. Don't take no for an answer, he has a talent that rivals yours and mine together. He won't like the fame much, but he'll be fine, especially if you keep a low profile, which I know you all will anyway. Now, we need to go to bed.”

“Geez, you old folks, always going to bed so early in the day and taking naps.” James giggled.

“Yeah, what do you expect.” Grandpa laughed.

“No kidding. Well, have a good day guys.” James smiled and hung up.

“Well Baby, I guess it's time to both do something that we never thought we'd do. Should I just call or should we just go in and see them?”

“We may as well just go in and see them.” Nathan sighed.

“Well, we still have a couple hours to kill 'til we have to meet Michael, so let's go now.”

“Okay.” The boys all said, Nathan slowly, Mitchel and Isaac excitedly.

They all went and got dressed, because they were still in just their diapers after their daily workout. They had worked out every day the last week, twice a day in all actuality, once in the pool house, once in their bedrooms, and they were all enjoying themselves a great deal. James though felt as if he were being kept in the brink of exhaustion, but it was really starting to show how much better shape he was truly getting in. As soon as they were dressed and ready to go, their diaper bag checked to make sure it was all good, they headed out. It was almost a half an hour drive to get to the publishers office, and James took them directly there.

“Hi there, I want to see John please?” James asked of the receptionist, possibly one of the most flamboyantly gay men that James had ever met in his life.

“Hi James. Wow, you're looking good, hot even. You've lost a lot of weight since the last time I saw you, I almost didn't even recognize you.” He said in shock.

“Thanks Bill.” James whispered in embarrassment.

“You'll have to forgive him, he still doesn't see himself as very good looking.” Nathan said.

“Yeah, I know. I always thought he was real cute, just like a great big teddy bear, but he blushed every time I asked him to be my teddy bear.” He grinned.

“Yeah, know what you mean.” Nathan said, then realized how that might sound.

“Ah, thought so. No worries. My first lover was considerably older than me too, we're still best of friends and he's even my son's godfather.”

“Good for you. How come you're not still together?”

“He was a boy lover, as soon as I was too old, we just sorta fell away from wanting and needing sex with each other, and I really wanted someone closer to my own age. My son though has shown him a few good times since he was eight. Had no idea 'til he was ten though that he was helping him out. Was so damn proud of him. He's twelve now.”

“Oh, well that's good that it all worked out for you both, and I'm happy for your son. How'd he come about? If you don't mind my asking of course?” Nathan asked curiously.

“Me and a lesbian friend wanted kids, we've had sex four times, she got pregnant three times, two girls and one boy, she kept the girls and I kept our son. We all see each other all the time though, we live next door to each other, and we're over at each others houses almost as much as we're home. It's a great arrangement.” He smiled.

“Great.” Nathan smiled.

“Oh crap, you want to see John, I should be doing my job rather than being a busy body.” He giggled and called John, telling him that James was there to see him. He told him to send him in, so James headed back, his boys following him.

“Hi James. Wow, look at you! You look great, how much weight have you lost?” John asked in shock.

“Not a clue, thanks though.” James said softly.

“You know, for a famous writer, you really don't have much self esteem, you need to work on that.” John grinned.

“I'm not famous.”

“We're working on it.” Nathan said before either man could say anything further.

“Good. So, Who's with you today James?”

“My son's. I adopted all of them recently. They were all throw away boys who needed a caring home.” James smiled warmly.

“And all gay too I'm betting, at least they sure look it to me, and I'm rarely ever wrong.” He grinned, all three boys grinned and nodded.

“How did I end up working with the worlds largest all gay owned publisher anyway?” James grinned, asking the same question he had asked a hundred times or more.

“Just good luck I guess. Good for you for adopting though, you deserved it, and it looks like it's been good for you as well. You really do look great. So, anyway, what can I do for you today?”

“Well, we want you to tell James just how famous he really is, he won't listen to us.” Nathan answered first.

“Are you sure? James made me swear to never tell him anything of the nature, that I was just here to publish his books, nothing more, nothing less.”

“Yes, he needs to hear it.” Nathan answered, once again before James could. James just nodded his silent agreement.

“Okay. Well James, you have seventeen books published, that much I'm sure you already know. The least popular book has only sold fifteen million copies. Your best book, which made three different top sellers lists has sold well over one hundred million copies. You have ten books on various best sellers lists, and all told, you have somewhere around seven hundred million books in print. You're averaging somewhere around twenty million dollars a year in royalties. Let's see, oh yeah, and I've had at least ten producers asking if we could turn at least that many books into blockbuster movies. I think that's about it.”

“See, told you Daddy.” Nathan said, smiling, because James' face had totally fallen, he had had no clue, really and truly, he had never looked at any of it, not even his bank account. He just always assumed he had money.

“You might want to slap him on the back, I think he's gone into shock.” John suggested.

“Right.” Nathan said and then did just that.

“Ouch, did you have to smack me so hard?” James grouched.

“You were in shock. How do you feel now?”

“I don't know. I never wanted to be famous.”

“Well, that was a given on your very first book, even if you didn't want to acknowledge it. Only our companies stringent policy of non disclosure has kept you hidden at all, although almost every one of the employees here have been bribed and begged to give up the information. They've all come to me and let me know each and every time, and I gave them a bonus for being strong enough to deny it.”

“Oh, well thanks at least.” James gasped.

“No problem. That can't have only been the only reason you came here for though, you could have gotten that information just by looking on the internet if you'd really wanted to, it's pretty much all out there anyway.”

“No, it's not. Here, I want you to publish this for Nathan. This is his first book, he wrote it when he was ten. It's been widely accepted, by his grandparents and their friends, as well as us here that he's an excellent writer, and he needs to be published. You'll have to give him a false name. In exchange for him doing this, I had to agree to allow you to allow my books be made into movies.”

“Wicked, thanks. That'll help reduce some of the pressure around here. I have at least one of those guys asking at least once a month. I'll read this, but I can't promise anything.”

“Well, it's publish it or not put my books to movies, but I guarantee that you'll love it.”

“They shared them with their friends? Grandma said they wouldn't.” Nathan said, sounding hurt.

“They had to Baby, they wanted their opinions as well, and they all agree. Besides, you honestly think that with everything that they share that they weren't gonna share that?” James pointed out.

“I know, but she promised.”

“I know, you can talk to her later about that. So John, what say you?”

“Well, I'll read it, but if it's not suitable, then I guess the movie deals will have to wait, but if it is, then I'll get it done. So Nathan, if this was your first and you wrote it when you were ten, have you written anything else yet?”

“Yeah, I'm on my tenth book right now, but it's already hitting the five hundred and fifty page mark, and I write really small.”

“You write them by hand?” He asked in shock.

“Yeah, it's always what I've done. I've done a bit at home now on the computer, but this story I started before I moved in with James, so it was started by hand. I didn't have a computer before then, so I had to if I wanted to write.” Nathan answered.

“Impressive. I know writers far older than you that have written far less books in far more time.”

“Yeah, but it's all I did in my spare time, either that or read. In fact, I'd already known almost everything to know about James well before we even met, because he was one of my favorite authors.”

“Impressive. Most kids your age wouldn't read such books. Is that the style you write as well?”

“No, I write almost anything and everything. Mostly mystery and conspiracy theories though.”

“Excellent. I can't wait to read it then.”

“Great. Well John, call when you have an answer for us then, because we should probably be heading out, we have another appointment to keep before too long.” James said, happy that Nathan would soon be a published author.

“Thanks for stopping by. I'll call in a week or two when I've finished reading.”

“Oh, you'll be calling the day after tomorrow at the latest, I almost guarantee it.” James grinned.

“That good is it?”

“You'll see.” James grinned.

James and the boys all stood to leave at that and before John could really say too much, they were gone.

“Well Daddy, we told you, didn't we. Even about looking hotter than before.” Isaac said as soon as they hopped in the van.

“Yeah, I guess you did. Doesn't mean I have to like it any though.” James sighed.

“No, but you need to accept it. Come on, let's go to Michael's.” Mitchel said.

“Okay.” James said and got them on their way.

They were still ten minutes early when they arrived, but they could clearly see that Michael was there, because his car was in the parking lot and the lights were on. They hopped out and headed to the door and knocked, because obviously it was locked. Someone none of them knew came and opened the door for them.

“Hi, you must be James, and you're definitely Mitchel, you look just like your brother. I'm Tony, it's really good to meet you all.” Tony said, shaking each of their hands and getting the other two names that he did not already know, or at least matching their faces to the names he had.

“It's really good to meet you as well Tony. Where's Michael?” James asked.

“He had to go back for a diaper change. I just changed before coming here, and I would have gone and changed him, but you guys knocked just as I was untaping him.”

“Ah, understandable.” James smiled.

“Hi guys.” Michael said as he walked into the main store.

“Hi.” Everyone called out.

“How are you guys today?” He asked.

“Great, and you?” James answered and asked.

“Really good. So, like I said, I had something here for you guys. I put everything I thought you might want or need into this box here, don't open it 'til you get home though.”

“Oh, okay. How much do I owe you then?” James asked.

“Honestly James, do you seriously think you're gonna pay for this?” Michael asked.

“Well yeah, you had to pay for it I'm sure.” James said thickly.

“Sure, I had to pay for it, but look around you and see all that I didn't have to pay for. Trust me, this is nothing compared to what you paid for, so don't worry about it.” Michael said, handing the rather heavy box over.

“I guess thanks then.” James said, sighing, knowing he would not win this one, and wondered if he would ever have to pay for anything in the store ever again, betting no.

“No, thanks to you.” Michael smiled.

“Yeah, thanks.” Tony said.

“You're welcome. I couldn't let Mitchel's big brother get knocked down so horribly by some idiot. Have you got a new insurance provider yet and get all that taken care of?”

“Oh yeah, the very next day I got it all taken care of.”

“So, how's business going then?”

“Really good. It's actually increased since the break in and destruction. It seems that word spread around the gays of town like wildfire, they all found out about the horrible hate crime, and they came to offer their support. A few couldn't buy anything, but most bought at least a little something to show their support.”

“That's good to hear. I guess it's good in a way. And have the police said anything yet?”

“Yeah, the detective was in yesterday and telling me that they still haven't got anything to go on. Sadly there doesn't seem to be any witnesses, there were far too many finger prints for them to even attempt to do that, and there was nothing else for them to go by. Sadly, he thinks that unless they do the same thing elsewhere, or even here again, and they get caught, then they may never be found. Too bad really that they'll never be caught more than likely, unless they're really stupid and try it again. I hope they try here, because they're never gonna get in unless they do so while I'm open.”

“And you always stay near at least one of the panic buttons that Andrew put in for you right?”

“Oh yeah, for sure.”

“Good. With all the video cameras and the panic buttons, they'd be stupid to try anything, but you never know right.”

“Well, clearly whoever it was wasn't exactly smart, so hopefully they'll be smart enough to never try anything during the day when we're open.”

“Hopefully.”

“Yeah.” All the others said as one.

“So, what all new things have you gotten in?”

“Nothing more than what you have in your box will likely interest any of you anyway, but some leathers and a new sex swing.”

“Oh, okay.” James shrugged, hoping that Michael would fall for it.

“So, what are you guys up to today then?”

“Nothing much really, but we should probably go grocery and supply shopping.”

“Ooh, sounds riveting.” Michael laughed.

“Not exactly exciting, but a necessary evil I'm afraid.” James laughed.

“Tell me about it. I have to do all the shopping. Tony absolutely hates going shopping, can't even drag him into the mall at all. If I didn't know any better, I'd swear he wasn't gay at all.” Michael laughed.

“Yeah, I bet it if weren't for the liking to take it up the ass, you might not think so huh?” Mitchel giggled.

“Ain't that the truth.” Both Michael and Tony said at the same time.

“That's good at least. Well, come on boys, we should probably get going, we really should go shopping.”

“Okay.” All three said.

“Well, you guys have a good day. See you later.” Michael smiled.

“You too.” They all said, Mitchel giving his brother a hug.

A few moments later they were all piled back in the van and they headed to the medical supply store first, because they were all getting low on diapers. In fact James had only three diapers left in the closet, plus maybe that many left in the diaper bag. They all went in, the boys having gotten used to this already, and they all went in and picked out what they wanted. As promised, when they picked out James' diapers, it was the next size down, so that they fit him better. They each grabbed one large pack, as well they all grabbed a new tub of diaper rash cream.

From there they headed to the mall, because like Nathan pointed out, none of James' clothes fit him any more. None of the boys needed anything at all, so they went right to the mens section and stayed there for long enough to get James a few good outfits, so that he was fully set up again. They did not buy too much, because they knew that before too long, James would be out of them as well, because he still had a little ways to go before he was down to proper weight, but he was far closer than he had been since he was a teen.

Next was of course the grocery store. They grabbed one cart of stuff for themselves, and on the boys' urging, grabbed another two carts for the soup kitchen, saying that they would go there the following day and help cook up lunch again. They spent more time at the grocery store than they had at the other two places put together, and by the time that they were done, they were all tired and hungry, especially considering that it was nearing dinner time and they had missed lunch altogether once again.

They headed home and got everything put away, made dinner, ate that, and then sat back and relaxed for the rest of the night. Once again this evening both couples played, and James got a really good workout before going to sleep. Nathan had totally forgotten to call his grandparents and give them a piece of his mind, but in reality, he knew they were right to do it.

The next day went by really quickly for the four of them, because right after their workout, they headed to the soup kitchen and cooked their hearts out and fed all the homeless and needy people. This time though before going to the soup kitchen, Nathan had James stop at a toy store, and he bought an entire cart full of small toys, mostly stuffed animals, and James was happy to pay for it, and as a kid came through the line to get food, Nathan gave him or her a toy that was appropriate for their age. All of them were very happy with that, none of them having a lot to call their very own. The parents were also very pleased and thanked Nathan graciously.

“Well, that was another long day, but it was very nice.” Nathan sighed once they were piled in the van. It had taken a long time to get everything cleaned up and put away after everything was all done.

“Yeah, it was.” Everyone said.

“And that was a very nice thing you did for the kids. We only had like ten toys left over, so it was perfect. Sad really though when you think about how many kids came through today.” James said.

“Yeah, but we do what we can. We should have brought all your old clothes with us as well to give away.” Nathan said.

“We probably should've yes, but none of them would've fit any of the people. Let's face it, most homeless and needy people aren't exactly fat.” James pointed out.

“True, but that doesn't mean that they can't use it. We'll take it all to the Salvation Army then, because they can sell it at least to make more money for everyone.” Nathan had to agree.

“Okay.”

They talked the rest of the way home, but not really about much of anything. When they got there, they sat back and relaxed for a bit, had some dinner, and then sat back and watched TV together for the rest of the night before bedtime, and evening exercises of course. It was a very good night all around, not one of them even remembering the care pack that Michael had given to them, in fact it was still at the bottom of the stairs. After a good exercise session, that lasted a minimum of an hour, and that was Mitchel and Isaac, they all passed out for the night after getting nice and thickly diapered.

The following morning, it was not until they were heading downstairs to go to the pool that they found the box that Michael had given to them.

“Crap, we totally forgot about the stuff Michael gave us. I wonder what's in it.” Mitchel said.

“I don't know, but we better go for our morning exercises, because if we open that, then we may never get to the pool.” Nathan grinned.

“And how exactly would that be bad?” Isaac asked curiously.

“Well, it probably wouldn't be, but I'm sure we don't have to spend the entire day in our bedrooms.”

“How 'bout half a day?” Mitchel grinned cheekily.

“Maybe, that might not be so bad.” Nathan grinned right back.

“Come on boys.” James laughed and led them out to the pool, where they had their more normal workout.

On their way up the stairs, James grabbed the box and took it to the living room, where they all excitedly opened it up. In there they found two hugely thick all in one cloth diapers a piece, three cute babyish diaper shirts each, a penis shaped soother each, an engraved bottle with penis shaped nipple each, as well as two nice thick pairs of rubber panties for each of them.

“Wow, look at all this, it's awesome. Can we go put on our cloth diapers, and even though they're an all in one, can we put the cute pink rubber panties on over them?” Isaac asked, he was so hard from seeing it all that he was dripping.

“Why not. I don't think we have anything better to do today.” James grinned, thinking that there was no way that any of them were going to be able to get diapered until a little pressure was relieved first. Although he could not see that as being a bad thing.

“Goody.” All three boys said as one, and Nathan grabbed James' hand and dragged him to their bedroom.

“Can you suck me a little first and slip in a nice big butt plug before you diaper me, I'm so hard?” Nathan asked.

“Sure, as long as you'll do the same for me when it's my turn.” James smiled.

“You bet.” Nathan said and threw himself on the bed.

James followed him onto the bed, not quite throwing himself, but close enough. He pretty much landed with his face right in Nathan's crotch, and started sucking him hard and fast. This was not about love, this was about release, and they both wanted it. As James was sucking Nathan, he started fingering his hot little hole as well, and before too long, he had three fingers buried inside, all this without any lube, but that was all Nathan could take. He exploded, and James was only too happy to slurp down all the cream that his baby boyfriend was able to give to him. As soon as he was able to, James grabbed the butt plugs, and took one of them and slipped it deep inside Nathan, and with a pop and a grunt, it was firmly seated.

Nathan then pushed James over onto his back and latched on, giving it his all sucking James, just the same. James though was too close, and not even thirty seconds after starting, Nathan was slurping down his tasty cum. The problem of course was that Nathan only had time to just slip his second finger inside James. So, this would not do of course, so he just kept sucking and fingering. Not even letting James come down from his orgasm at all, it was driving James mad. Nathan was not allowing James to have any rest at all, he just kept sucking and fingering him. The second that Nathan slipped his third finger inside and hit James' over heated prostate though, James exploded. The explosion must have burned something fierce though, because James screamed out his intense pleasure. And still before James was even down, Nathan grabbed the butt plug and slipped it inside. With a pop and a grunt, it too was seated.

Nathan grabbed the two diapers and rubber pants that had fallen to the ground, got James' prepared, and then worked them up his legs with a little difficulty, because James was not yet entirely with it. He then slipped the rubber panties up to complete the package, and he smiled. James was still coming down, so he grabbed his and slipped into his by himself. A few seconds later, James fully came too.

“Wow, what the hell was that?” James groaned.

“That my baby boy was an incredible blow job.”

“I'll say. Wow, these diapers sure are thick and soft huh.”

“For sure. Let's go grab our new baby diaper shirts and slip one of them on, and then maybe have a bottle.” Nathan grinned.

“Okay.” James said brightly, and on still shaky legs, he got up and followed Nathan from the bedroom.

When they made it to the living room, they found that Mitchel and Isaac were already there, they were already in their diaper shirts, and they were already sucking on a bottle of milk. There were two other bottles ready and waiting for them.

“I see you finally made it. We took the liberty of making you two a bottle as well. Go ahead and slip into something more comfortable and have a drink.” Isaac offered.

“Sure, thanks. You two musta just had a real quickie to already be out here.”

“We sucked each other at the same time and fingered each other 'til we could put in a butt plug. As they were slipping in, we both came, and that was all we needed.” Mitchel said.

“Nice. We went one at a time, and Nathan sucked me twice.”

“Sounded like it was a good time, we heard you from here.” Isaac grinned.

“Once again, I thought I was gonna die. I just don't think the human body was designed to have that much pleasure coursing through it all at once and manage to survive it.”

“Well, either you're an angel, oh wait, you are, or it clearly can.” Nathan smiled softly to his man, giving him a quick kiss as well.

“You're corny.” James laughed.

“Thanks.” Nathan said and handed James his diaper shirt to slip into.

They helped each other into their diaper shirts, and then grabbed their bottles and drank them with the other two.

“That was really quite nice.” Nathan said as he finished his bottle, the last to do so.

“Yeah, it was.” The others all sighed.

“And these diapers and diaper shirts are awesome, so thick and so soft.”

“For sure.” The others all sighed again.

“So, what should we do now?” Nathan asked.

“Who knows, who cares.” James sighed, but just then his phone started ringing.

“Hello.” James answered as soon as he found his phone.

“Hey James, it's John.”

“Oh, hey John. So, how'd you like the book, because I don't doubt that you're finished already?” James asked, grinning.

“Okay, I thought you were good, but he's great. Now I know why you said I'd be calling you yesterday. I started reading it at the office, I didn't even leave to go home 'til nearly eleven, and when I did get home, I made myself a sandwich and sat back down to read it. The sandwich is still sitting where I set it when I sat down, and I read through the night and all through most of the day, totally forgetting to go into the office. When I finally did get home last night, I was so tired that I just crashed, I just woke up, and I had to call you before even leaving for work. So, in other words, hell yeah I'll publish Nathan.”

“Tod ya so, thanks. So, I guess this means you'll be calling those producer people now too huh?” James sighed.

“I'm keeping up my end of the deal, not that it's all that difficult, so yeah, I will be.” John laughed.

“Figures. So, how long do you figure it'll take you to get it released?”

“I'm gonna try for a month or so, but could end up taking two. It'll really be pushing it just to get two months anyway.”

“Good, glad to hear it.”

“Well, all I need is to come get yours and Nathan's signatures to release it to us and then I can get started on it.”

“Okay, come on over right away, we'll get dressed. Oh wait, I moved, here's our new address.” James said, and then remembered and told John the new address.

“Okay, be right there.” John said and hung up.

“Well boys, we need to get dressed, and as you heard Nathan, you'll be published real soon.”

“Crap, that means we'll have to get out of these diapers.” Isaac said, sounding more than a little downcast at the prospect.

“Nah, no worries, just get dressed. I have a feeling that John's more than a little understanding. Let's just say I've noticed that he's a little padded before as well.” James grinned.

“Cool. We didn't see him standing the other day, so we hadn't noticed.” Mitchel grinned.

“No, you wouldn't have.”

They all got up, James taking their box of goodies with him as they headed to their bedrooms to get into some grub clothes, none of them caring one way or the other what they looked like when John arrived, they were at home after all.

Not even ten minutes later John arrived and James went and answered the door.

“Hi boys.” John greeted when he made it to the living room with James.

“Hi.” They all said.

“Wow, you boys sure are thickly diapered, aren't you.”

“Yeah, it's awesome, they're brand new super thick and soft cloth diapers.”

“Wicked, where'd you get them?”

“Michael's Guys Erotica, Michael's my brother.” Mitchel said proudly.

“Hmm, might just have to head over there and check it out. Never been there before. Is he knew?”

“Yeah, he bought the store a few months ago and changed pretty much everything. Granted, due to a nasty hate crime he had no choice, and we all helped him to totally rebuild the store, because someone trashed the entire thing.” Mitchel answered.

“So sad, but it sounds like he's got it better now then. So, anyway, the reason I'm here is simple, you just have to sign everything over to me, and because Nathan's a minor, I have to get his parent or guardians signature in order to do so. Now Nathan, you can't enter into this lightly, you give a lot of your writers rights up in order to do this. We own the rights to the book, but you still retain all the rights to the works themselves. In payment, you get a royalty from the sale of every book. The contract you sign gives you the breakdown of what you'll make, it varies depending upon how many you sell. I can tell you this though, in my many years in this business, I've never had such a well written book, and that's saying a lot, considering we're sitting here with James.”

“Okay, I guess so, it doesn't really mean much to me anyway. I don't really even want to do this, but James and my grandparents and all their friends really think I should.”

“The decision has to be yours and yours alone. Even though James has to sign it, I won't let him do so unless you truly want this to happen. I can understand why they say you should though, it was by far some of the best mystery and suspense I've ever read, and that was your very first. You can only get better, although I daresay I can't understand how that could be.”

“He is, each one after that's just a bit better than the one before it.” James smiled.

“Can't wait to read them then. I'll ask that you hold off for at least a few weeks, so that I can catch up on missed work.” John laughed.

“No worries. I think we agreed that we'd send in one every six months until they're all done.” James said.

“Cool. So, what will it be Nathan?” John asked softly.

“I just don't know. Can you promise me that no one will ever find out who I am and I won't be bothered?”

“I can promise that no one in my company will spill the information, that's about as far as we can go. James has never been found out though, so you shouldn't have to worry. Who's to say though what some unscrupulous person could really do if they truly wanted to dig and search. I won't say that there's no way on Earth that we can protect you a hundred percent, but I can guarantee that it won't be us that does it.”

“I guess I can't really ask for anything more than that, now can I!”

“No, not really. You two won't be the only writers that want peace and quiet. Most do. Writers are a far different creature than actors, they love the limelight, but you writers all seem to hate it.”

“I never understood that. I'd hate having someone sticking their camera up my ass at all times.” Nathan laughed.

“You and me both.”

“You better pass those over and let me sign before I lose my nerve.” Nathan said.

John smiled and handed over the contract, and Nathan read it very closely, making sure he understood each and every thing in there before he signed anything at all. The two times that he did not understand something, he asked, and it was more to do with how something was worded than him not fully understanding something. Finally, some thirty minutes after taking the papers, he finally signed the last of the spots where he was supposed to sign. It was then passed over to James, who also read it over and signed everything. He actually had to ask a couple more questions. And then John took it all and signed off on it as well.

“Well Nathan, there you are, you're now a published author. How does it feel?”

“I think I'm gonna be sick.” Nathan said, and then actually ran from the room.

“I seem to remember you doing the exact same thing the day we signed your contracts.” John laughed, not worrying about it in the least, he had had more than a few do the same thing.

“Yeah, and I peed my diaper so much I started to leak and had to change.” James actually laughed as well.

“Yeah, I remember. I hope he's okay.”

“He'll be just fine, but I know how he feels.” James smiled and then got up to go be with his baby while he lost his breakfast.

“You doing okay in here Baby?” James asked softly when he entered the bathroom to still hear Nathan retching.

“Oh god. I can't believe I just did that. I never wanted to be famous.” Nathan cried, not even worried about the fact that he just ran from a room full of other people to be sick.

“Yeah, you and me both. I did the same thing, and John assured me even then that I wasn't the first, nor was I the last to get sick after signing the contract. It's a huge step, and it's scary. It does get easier though, I promise. And you know better than I do how famous I am, yet it doesn't show. Come on Baby, let's get you washed up, unless you think you need to be sick more.”

“No, I don't think so, I don't think I have anything left in me to throw up either though.”

“That didn't matter when I signed that very same contract my first time. I hadn't eaten yet, I was too nervous, and I still threw up for a good five minutes. Trust me, it hurts far more to throw up with nothing in your stomach than to not.”

“I know, don't worry. Don't care for either too much though to tell you the truth.” Nathan laughed lightly.

“Yeah, me too. Come on Baby, let's get your mouth washed out. How's your diaper by the way?”

“I peed quite a bit, but I don't think I'm anywhere near leaking, so I should be fine.”

“That's good Baby.” James smiled warmly and handed Nathan the mouth wash. Nathan gave himself three good rinses before he was satisfied that he could not taste the vomit in his mouth any more. And looking more composed than he had a few minutes before, they left the bathroom together.

“Hey there Nathan. You feeling okay now?” John asked softly when they made it back.

“Yeah, thanks. James said you were used to it.”

“That I am. For as brilliant as most of the writers I deal with are, none of you can take stress worth shit. It's funny really.” John laughed.

“Yeah, well I sure didn't think it was funny, but I can see how it might be from your point of view.” Nathan smiled.

“That's good. So, unless you have any other questions, I think I'll take my leave now. Oh, except James, I'm gonna call someone today, and don't worry, I won't even tell them anything about you, I'll act as the middle man entirely, I'll deal with it all for you.”

“Great, that'd be appreciated.”

“It's my job.” John smiled.

“Good, I knew you got paid lots for a reason.” James smiled.

“You have no idea. You've made me a very rich man.”

“Good. Well, thanks for coming today John, we appreciate it. Well most of us anyway.” James grinned, ruffling Nathan's hair as he said the last part. Nathan just looked up and grinned.

“I do have a question before you go.” Nathan said.

“What's that?”

“When will it be released?”

“Not too sure, but I'm gonna try my damnedest to get it out in a month, but two months might even be pushing it a bit. We'll see. I'll get it done as quick as I can though. The next few days are gonna be hard, because we first have to transfer all your hand written stuff onto computer, and I don't trust anything but a person to do that. Granted, even they make mistakes, but at least the editors catch most of those.”

“Oh, okay. All my new ones will be done on the computer, so that'll make your life easier.”

“No worries, don't worry about them, it's what they do. I have a sneaking suspicion that a few of them will be staying late nights, forgetting to go home again. Usually happens every time James sends in a book. Oh, did I tell you about that on your last one James?”

“No, what happened?”

“My chief editor stayed at his computer going over the entire thing for three days straight, he forgot to go home. I actually found him passed out on his keyboard, the page going on to more than five hundred thousand, because he was pressing a few keys with his nose.” John laughed.

“Yeah, been there, done that before too.” James laughed.

“Yeah, we've all been there, that's for sure. Well, I should get back to the office and get this going, because it's gonna be a lot of work.”

“Okay, thanks again John.” James said, and a few minutes later, he was gone.

“Are you okay now?” Mitchel asked in concern.

“Yeah, I'm fine, just the nerves slammed into me and made me throw up. No biggie.” Nathan smiled.

Can't say's I blame you at all. I doubt I would've handled it any better.” Mitchel laughed.

“No, probably not.”

“Are you okay Nathan?” James asked, he had just come back up after showing John out.

“Yeah, I'm fine now.”

“Good. Well, I think you should call your grandparents. They're probably wondering why you haven't called yet to bitch them out.” James suggested.

“Yeah, I guess I should huh.”

“Yeah, just don't be too hard on them, they did do it for your own good.” James smiled warmly.

“I know, but doesn't mean I can't mess with their minds a bit.” Nathan grinned evilly.

“I would.” James grinned back.

“Me too.” Mitchel and Isaac both said together.

Nathan grabbed his phone and went and laid on their bed to make the call. He dialed and waited the few seconds for the phone to be answered.

“Hi Grandma, is Grandpa on the line as well?”

“Oh, hi Nathan, he isn't, but he can be in a second, just a sec.” She answered and then called grandpa to grab the phone as well.

“Hi there Handsome, how's it goin?” Grandpa asked as soon as he picked up.

“Not too bad, considering you guys went behind my back and did what you said you weren't gonna do.” Nathan said softly.

“Sorry Nathan, we had to. They made us promise that as soon as we read what you'd written that we'd give it to them as well.”

“So, your promise to them means more than to me?” Nathan asked curiously.

“Yeah, well we didn't do it to hurt you. You needed the multiple opinions that that got for you. Trust me, it had noting to do with your trust meaning less to us than the friendship of people we've known almost all our lives. Besides, can you honestly say that you're mad?” Grandma asked softly.

“Well, I was a bit, I was hurt that you gave your word and didn't hold it. Remember, my mom did that sorta thing to me all the time, promised me something only to go ahead and do it anyway, all the while laughing at me that I was stupid for trusting someone.”

“Oh god, Nathan, we had no idea about that. If I'd known she'd done stuff like that to you, I never would've done that. I'm so sorry.” Grandma said in disgust at herself, she honestly had no idea of that.

“It's okay. I didn't want to say that to hurt you, you just have to realize that I already have trust issues, and doing stuff like that really hurts me. I was never really truly mad, because I knew why you did it, and I know you guys do love me, but please, just remember that, okay.”

“We promise Nathan.” Both grandma and grandpa said at the same time.

“Thanks. So, I guess I should tell you before you see it in the stores, but the publisher was just here and he's sending my first book to be published as soon as he can get it through.”

“Wow, that's awesome Nathan, congratulations. How are you feeling?” Grandma asked happily.

“As soon as it was all done, I had to run to the bathroom, and I threw up for several minutes.”

“That's too funny. Your grandma did the same thing after she signed her first book deal too.” Grandpa laughed.

“Good. So did James, so I don't feel so bad.” Nathan laughed as well.

“Well, my publisher told me it wasn't exactly uncommon.” Grandma said, completely unashamed.

“Same with mine. So, how was our meeting grandpa?”

“Some asshole at some pharmaceutical company insulted me, totally low balled me to the point of insult, wanting to buy something that I've been working on. They seem to think it'll help them in something that they're doing for cancer research. I told him that it wasn't even designed to be used with humans anyway, or animals of any sort. He said it didn't matter, they wanted the technology I'd designed to make what they're trying to do work. I told him that when he was serious that he could come back with a real offer, and that if he ever insulted me again, I might accidentally give him the wrong cup when I gave him his next cup of coffee.” Grandpa giggled.

“Yikes, how much did he offer?”

“Only a hundred and fifty thousand dollars.”

“Oh, and what's it really worth?”

“For what it's supposed to do, eat certain oils, it's worth millions, and I've already got another offer for two million for it. Granted, it's cost me almost that much just to make it, so that's the minimum I can take for it.”

“Yikes. You had to pay a couple million dollars to make something work properly?”

“Oh yeah. The oil I needed is kinda hard to come by and expensive, and the chemicals I needed to make the product were even more so. So yeah, but I never have to worry about money. I have no problem selling the product, but they never get the rights to anything, no matter what, I own all rights to everything I make, or else they can shove it up their asses.”

“You tell 'em.” Nathan laughed.

“A few haven't cared for my stance, but if they want what I make, then they usually deal with it. Because I'm totally freelance, and I patent everything I do, they can't say a thing.”

“Good.”

“So, have you boys talked to James more about home schooling, we think it'd be a good idea. Given how much trouble you had, now that you're happy and secure, you wouldn't be truly happy at school?” Grandma asked.

“No, we haven't actually, been busy. I think I'll go ask him after we get off the phone though.”

“Good. It'll be good for all of you boys. Just remember that you do in fact have to go out and play with other kids too.”

“Yeah, I know. Granted, we haven't gone to the park in weeks I guess. We probably should though.”

“Yes, you should. You should try and make an effort to go at least once a week to play with other kids.” Grandpa said.

“Okay, we'll try. So, when are you guys gonna come out next?”

“Afraid it won't be 'til Christmas now, I've been asked to go in for the beginning of next week to get our new facilities all set up. Seems they actually finally fixed my department up over the summer. They did it as a surprise, because they never told me they were doing it at all, and I never go there during the summer, but apparently it's a bit of a mess, and they all know how anal I am about things, so they won't bother doing anything with it, so if I want it ready, the way I like it, then I have to go in and get it all done. I also have to do a bunch of interviews, new students wanting into my advanced literature course have to be interviewed. I only just received the list, normally I have all my interviews done by now.”

“Oh, that's too bad. I was hoping to see you again before then, but that's okay. Maybe I can talk James into coming to see you guys.”

“I'm sure it won't take much talking.” Grandma chuckled.

“You're probably right, but he really hates planes. Not sure I'm a huge fan either, I think I'd rather stay firmly on the ground. Although the fair was awesome.” Nathan laughed.

“We're not huge fans either, but it's either that or a week by train. We'd rather the few hour flight.”

“Hmm, train, might not be such a bad idea, might be a nice trip too.” Nathan said in thought.

“Probably would be. We've never had the time to be able to do that, so we've never done it before.” Grandpa said thoughtfully.

“Okay, well I should probably let you guys go, I'll talk to you later, okay.”

“Okay Baby, have a good day, talk to you later as well.”

They hung up a few seconds later, and Nathan went out to tell the others what all he had talked about.

“So, can we do home schooling, and if we do so, in a month or so, can we take a trip to go see them please?” Nathan asked.

“I was wondering when you'd ask. You know I'll let you boys do it if you want, and a trip would be okay as well. I'd rather go by train though, I hate planes.”

“I know, that's why I mentioned it. Thanks though, you're the best.”

“I know.” James smiled warmly.

All three boys hopped up and hugged their loving daddy warmly, and they stayed there for several minutes.

“So, what should we do for the rest of the day Babies?” James asked once the hug broke.

“Well, nothing much, that's for sure, especially not dressed in these awesome diapers. I do want to go do some more writing and maybe finish my book today, I only have a chapter or two left to go.” Nathan smiled.

“Same here actually. How about you two?”

“Don't know, we'll figure something out while you two are holed up in your office writing away.” Mitchel answered.

“I think tomorrow we should go to the park or something. Grandma made me promise that because we're gonna do home schooling that we had to get out and play with other kids, so I told her that we'd make sure to do that.” Nathan said.

“Sounds good to me.” Mitchel and Isaac said.

“And I'll take that time to go out and figure out how to get you three registered for home schooling and get it all done.” James said.

“Okay.” All three boys said.

So, for the rest of the day, the four of them sat around doing not much. James and Nathan got more writing done, both of them finishing the books that they were working on, and even Nathan had to admit that this was going to be the biggest and best book yet. Mitchel and Isaac just sat back and watched TV until the other two joined them. They ate lunch together, only when Mitchel and Isaac nearly dragged Nathan and James out of the office to eat. Once they were done, they joined the other two in watching TV for the rest of the day. Once bedtime hit, they all went to bed, and both couples had their nightly exercises, Nathan making poor James cum six times inside him, making him do some serious ab crunches, and Nathan did not even enter James at all.

The next morning, as soon as they were finished their daily exercises, they all went and got diapered and dressed to go out. It was still far too early for them to go out, but they were ready to regardless. They decided that they may as well stay in until after lunch, so when lunch time came, they made and ate that.

“Okay, you boys go and have fun, stay safe, and call if you want or need anything.” James said, giving each boy a hug, and giving Nathan a nice kiss as well.

“Okay, you have fun too.” Nathan smiled.

“Right. I have no idea where to even start.”

“I suggest you just call the school district office, they should be able to tell you anything you need to know.” Nathan suggested.

“Good idea. Well, have fun boys.” James smiled to the boys, shooing them out of the house.

The three boys walked to the nearest park, laughing and joking all the way there. They had a lot of fun. When they got there, they all went and had some fun. It was a really big park, large fields for them to run and play in, a large playground, where they could go and sit back and relax for a bit as well. When they got there though, they realized that they did not have anything to play with, and there seemed to not be much of anything happening at all. There were a number of kids at the playground, but almost no one on the fields. So they just headed to the playground.

“Hey Mitchel and Isaac. Why are you hanging with him?” One of their friends from school asked as they came up.

“Because, he's our brother now, and don't treat Nathan like that.” Mitchel said dangerously.

“Oh. I wouldn't think that your parents would adopt anyone, except, you guys are cousins, not brothers.”

“Actually, we no longer live with our parents, all three of us were adopted by the same guy, because we all had home problems.” Mitchel said softly.

“Oh. Sorry to hear about that. What happened?”

“Well, you remember several months ago when you asked if there was something between Isaac and I, well, there was, we're boyfriends, and let's just say our parents freaked and kicked us out. I even found my brother recently, who they also kicked out, because he was gay.”

“Oh.” He said in shock, and they could see that he was not at all pleased to hear that they were gay.

“If you don't like that we're gay, your problem, not ours, and don't bother harassing us for it, because you'll only be the one harassed.” Mitchel warned.

“Right.” He said, and then turned and walked away.

“Well, I guess it's a good thing that we're not going back to school, because that's definitely gonna go around the school.” Isaac laughed.

“No kidding. Whatever, let's go play.” Nathan smiled.

They ended up playing for a good three hours before they were ready to go. The only one to not come near them again was the one boy, who Mitchel guessed was no longer a friend, otherwise they played with all the kids there. At one time, they were playing tag, and another boy happened to tag Nathan on the bum, and he stopped and looked oddly at Nathan, wondering if he had felt what he had. Nathan just let him deal with it, but just as they were about to leave, he shyly came up to him.

“Um, are you wearing a diaper?” He asked softly, nearly whispering.

“Yeah, I am. Why do you ask?” Nathan asked happily.

“Oh. I thought I felt it. How come you wear them?”

“Because I need to. Do you wear as well?”

“Only at night.”

“Oh. But you want to wear during the day, don't you?” Nathan asked softly, and boy did he blush.

“Yeah.”

“Good. To tell you the truth, we only truly need them at night, we just wear because we like to during the day.” Nathan smiled.

“Really!”

“Well, we don't really need them at night either, at least we didn't.” Mitchel said.

“True. Even during the day now, I doubt I could go without them. I'd totally forget and pee my pants now.” Nathan laughed.

“Wow, all three of you are diaper lovers too?”

“Sure are. So, how long have you known you were a diaper lover, and have you admitted to being gay yet?”

“Since I was eight I guess, and I sorta had to admit to myself I was gay when I was ten. I accidentally saw some of a porn with two girls in it, and well, it disgusted me. A couple weeks ago, I checked out another with two guys, and that really got me going.” He blushed.

“Know how you feel. To see a girl naked would probably make me throw up. So, how old are you then?”

“Twelve. How about you guys?”

“Thirteen. So, do you have a boyfriend then?”

“Sorta.” He blushed again.

“Ah, I see. How old is he, and did he adopt you?” Nathan asked.

“Yeah, he adopted me, but he adopted me when I was five, and he's almost thirty.” He blushed.

“Good. My daddy adopted me too, and he's my boyfriend as well.” Nathan grinned.

“Cool.”

“Does your daddy know you like to wear diapers then?”

“I don't know if he knows I like them or not, but obviously he knows I wear them at night. I always have though.”

“Why not just tell him, and maybe get him to wear with you as well. I bet he would.” Nathan grinned.

“You think so?”

“Sure, what have you got to lose.” Nathan smiled.

“True. Well, I gotta go, will you guys be coming back again?”

“Yeah, we'll come back for sure.” Nathan smiled.

“Cool, hopefully I'll see you again then.” He smiled, and skipped off.

“He was nice, and cute too.” Nathan smiled as the three of them walked off together.

“Yeah, he was. Shoulda got his name though.” Isaac said.

“If it's meant to be, we'll meet again soon.” Nathan smiled.

“True.”

They walked the rest of the way home, and when they got there, they told James all about what they had done and what all had happened.

“Sounds like that boy would be a good friend for you boys, he sounds a lot like you. Odd really how many boys just in this area are gay diaper lovers.” James grinned, thinking that it was great though, the world could stand to be far more gay in his opinion.

“I think it's great.” Nathan grinned.

“I bet you do. So, anyway, I was able to get you three all registered and got all the programs and books and stuff that you'll need. There's really not lots, since most of it's done online anyway, but there were a few things to get.”

“Awesome, thanks Daddy.” All three boys said as one.

“You're welcome. Well, I'm gonna head back in and continue writing for a bit 'til dinner then boys, it's what you caught me doing when you came in.”

“I think I'll join you.” Nathan smiled.

“We'll get dinner when it's time guys.” Mitchel smiled, but was sure that they had not heard, because they were already on their way.

For the rest of the evening, that was pretty much what they did. Mitchel and Isaac cuddled up to each other and watched TV, played on their computers and made dinner, whereas James and Nathan both sat at their computers typing away. The following day was about the same as well, but the boys did not go out, mostly because it was not very nice out. Both nights though all four of them got a really good exercise session going, and James passed out the first night, but he paid Nathan back and made him pass out the following night. Their morning exercises were also going really well, and the boys were starting to push James just a bit harder and further again, and it was starting to show more that he was losing weight.

“Daddy, I think we're gonna head to the park today after lunch, okay.” Mitchel said after they were finished their workout for the day.

“Okay, that's a good idea.” James smiled warmly to the boys.

“What are you gonna do Baby?” Nathan asked.

“Probably give the house a good cleaning and then I don't know. It won't take me long to clean up, so probably get more writing done.” James shrugged.

“It won't take long, considering how clean we always keep it.” Isaac said.

“True, but it's been a week since all the dusting was done, and all the floors need to be cleaned again, as well the plants all need watering, so there's a bit to do, but certainly not much.”

“Why don't we all just do it now, that way we can all help, and when we go play, so can you?” Nathan suggested.

“That's okay boys, you don't have to help with that.” James said, but it was futile, because they each went and grabbed a cloth and started wiping everything down. James just shook his head and did the same.

It took them at most thirty minutes to go through the house and do their light chores, and because they really did do everything as soon as they were finished anyway, it was all really clean already.

Once they were done, and they ended up finding a few more things to do as well, they all sat back and watched TV together until lunch time. They made and ate that, then the boys went and grabbed a diaper change, got dressed, and then with goodbyes all around, they headed out.

“Hi guys, I was hoping you'd come back today. Can we go and sit and talk for a few minutes?” The boy asked as soon as he ran up to them. He had seen them coming and was excited to see them again.

“Sure.” All three boys said as one.

They went and sat under a nice shady tree at the edge of the park where they were certain to not be overheard.

“I should probably introduce myself to start, I'm Benjamin, but I go by Benji.”

“Hi Benji, it's good to meet you. I'm Nathan, and these are my brothers Mitchel and Isaac.”

“It's good to meet you guys.” He smiled warmly.

“So, was that a nice thick diaper bulge we just so happened to notice as you were running toward us?” Mitchel asked softly.

“Yeah, but I'm surprised you noticed.” He grinned.

“We know what to look for, but it's hardly noticeable. So, what did your daddy say to that then?” Nathan asked.

“He just smiled and said he wondered when I was gonna finally admit it. I asked him to wear with me as well, and he said that he would try it, but that he had never been a diaper lover before, but admitted that he sure liked seeing me in them. We went and bought him some that night, and he wore them, and even changed when he wet, and he hasn't been out of them since, so I think he likes them too, but I'm giving him the space to accept it on his own.”

“That's really smart of you. Just let him get used to it in his own mind first and go from there. So, how's it been getting to wear diapers all the time like you wanted, and how hard was it coming to the park in a diaper?” Nathan asked.

“Thanks, I'm not exactly stupid, so it helps. It's great though getting to wear diapers all the time finally, it's been awesome. Coming here today wasn't really all that hard, because I know you can't see the diapers, and about the only way you can tell at all is if you touch my bum, like I accidentally did to you the other day, but I doubt it'd happen, and who cares if it does.” He smiled.

“True, we're glad though that you're happy. So, where do you go to school, we all go to the one up the road, or at least we did, and I'd think that we'd know you from elementary school at the least?”

“I've never gone to school, at least not since kindergarten. I was super shy back then, and I used to pee my pants a lot, so I got really teased by some of the older boys, so my dad pulled me out and he home schools me. Why don't you go there now?”

“We're gonna home school as well, so that's cool. I know what it's like to be bullied though. In fact, the two leading boys to bully me are sitting right here with me.” Nathan smiled, punching both big bad bullies in their shoulders lovingly.

“Really, they bullied you, and now you're friends and brothers!” Benji said in shock.

“Yeah.” They all said, and then they told their tale.

“Wow, that's some story.” Benji smiled, thinking it sounded like a nice ending to a bad story.

“Thanks. So, what does your dad do then, because he must not work away from home?” Mitchel asked curiously.

“He's an artist. Paintings and sculptures mostly, but he'll do almost anything. He's even made a statue of me, I was ten at the time, and I'm naked. He said it was his best work ever, but no one gets to see it, it's in our back yard. He says that he won't sell it 'til I'm at least eighteen, so that no one can cause us any trouble.”

“Awesome. We'd really like to see it.” Nathan grinned.

“If you just want to see me naked, come to our house and we can go swimming, we don't wear clothes.” He grinned mischievously.

“Us neither.” All three boys said together.

“Cool. So, what about your dad, what's he do?”

“Little bit of everything really, but he's independently wealthy, so he doesn't have to work.” Nathan lied.

“That's cool. Dad's not rich, by any stretch of the imagination, but he does really well. He does at least one painting a month and sells it for quite a bit.”

“That's really good. Sow, how did you guys end up being lovers as well, if you don't mind my asking?” Nathan asked curiously.

“Not at all. I think I told you the other day that I was ten when I had to admit to myself that I was gay. Well, I'd known since I was seven that my dad was gay too, let's just say I accidentally caught him and another guy doing something that very few children want to witness. He didn't know it though 'til I was ten. Anyway, I went to him and told him what happened, and that I thought that I might be gay too. He was surprised that I knew he was gay, he had tried to be very discreet about it all, because he said he'd suspected I was gay since the day he adopted me, so when I was five, and he didn't want to influence my decisions any at all. Well, it was only about two weeks after that that I realized who and what I wanted and needed. I went right to him and told him so, and he managed to hold me off for almost three weeks, but by then I'd already been playing with all his toys, I was already ready to take him fully and completely, and of course, at ten I wasn't gonna too big for him, so I sorta raped him in his sleep. He sleeps naked, I of course slept in diapers, but I got naked as well, fingered myself for a while, working up the courage, and then just went to his bedroom, and that as they say was that. He woke up as he was cumming inside me, and was powerless to stop anything from happening from there. He told me that he's not even a boy lover, that me being so young is even still really hard on him, but as I get older, he's getting better. How about you and your daddy lover though, and how about you two?” He asked.

“Wicked, so you were a horny little boy, that's awesome.” Nathan grinned, and then between the three of them, they all told their tale.

“Wow, that's awesome. I never knew that there was gonna be another diaper lover in town, I mean, I know there's lots out there, I've done more than enough research to know it already, but to have four more right here as well, that's awesome. And all of you are gay, and one of you has an adult lover as well. I had no idea.”

“And my brother and his boyfriend are diaper lovers as well. He's quite a bit older than me though and owns the gay erotica store in town.” Mitchel added.

“Wicked. Daddy says he likes the new store a lot, it's really nice. He told me all about how it was destroyed by some gay haters, he talked to the owner all about it.”

“Cool, and I bet you enjoy the toys as well.” Nathan grinned.

“Like duh. What little gay boy wouldn't really!”

“For sure.” All three boys said, and then told the tale of rebuilding Michael's store.

“Wow, that was super nice of your dad to do all that for him, even though he didn't even know him.”

“Yeah, but he's a great guy all around.” Nathan smiled warmly.

“Sounds like it. Do you guys wanna go play or something then?” Benji asked, because he felt that they were pretty much all talked out.

“Sure.” The boys said, so they all got up and went and played on the playground for a while, all having fun. They played for a further hour before they were all tired and wanting to go home.

“Benji, why don't you come to our house tomorrow and we can all have some fun together?” Nathan asked as they were about to break apart and head their own ways.

“Sure, why not. I think my dad has to go out tomorrow anyway, so it'd be nice to spend the time with friends.”

“Where does he have to go?”

“To an art show that's doing his works for him, and he has to be there to talk to all the people. It's usually an all day affair. Usually happens at least once a month, but if it goes good, then he could sell two or even three paintings, and maybe a statue even.”

“That's not very much.”

“It is when he dells a painting for no less than ten thousand dollars, and statues can be two or three times that.”

“Oh, then I guess that would be good. What kind of art does he do then?” Nathan asked curiously.

“Whatever he wants to at the time. He does everything. His best selling painting though was one that I hated, it was an abstract art, and some lady said it spoke to her. Not sure I wanna know what it said, because to me, it said crazy with a capital c, but daddy said some people really like that stuff. I even told him point blank that it wasn't very nice, he likes my opinion, because I won't lie to him.”

“That's funny, but as long as she was crazy enough to spend the money, than who are to say anything.” Isaac laughed.

“That's what we thought too. He wasn't even gonna take it, because he said it didn't turn out like he'd wanted it to either, but he decided to see if someone wanted it. She was the first person to really look at it, and she just couldn't take her eyes off it. When some other lady came up to look at it, almost an hour later Daddy said, he said she almost bit her head off and went and offered daddy almost three times what he normally asks for his normal works, and way more than he thought he'd have to sell it for. He gladly sold it though.” Benji laughed.

“Well, I hope that taught him a lesson. Never underestimate his work. Something both Nathan and our dad need to learn.” Mitchel said, grinning at Nathan.

“Nah, he still thinks his stuff isn't that good, but his agent always gets him into prime shows because he really is quite good. Why would you or your dad underestimate your work though Nathan?” Benji asked curiously.

“That's not really something I want to go into yet, and I wish Mitchel hadn't brought it up either.”

“Oh, okay.” Benji said a little dejectedly.

“Let's just say he and our dad are also really good at something, and don't seem to think so.” Isaac said.

“It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that, well, our dad wouldn't want me to, at least not yet. And I'm not exactly comfortable with it either.” Nathan said softly.

“Okay, I guess. What time should I come over tomorrow anyway?”

“Any time after eight is good with us. We're usually finished our daily workout by then. If we don't answer right away, just wait a few moments and ring again.” Mitchel answered.

“Okay, cool. Thanks. See you guys tomorrow.” Benji said and headed out.

“I really wish you hadn't told him that Mitchel, I don't want anyone to know who I am please.”

“I know, but he's a friend, and if you can't share that with friends, then what can you share. Trust me. By the way, I've been meaning to ask you for a while, but telling Benji all about us, and how you tamed us, reminded me that I wanted to ask if we can see those pictures you took of us.”

“Ah, about that. Well, you know as well as I do that the likelihood of my having a digital camera when I lived at home was slim to none, so how could I have taken pictures. I lied to you to make you think that I had something, when clearly there was no way I could have. It was the only way to totally disarm you guys. Sorry.” Nathan said softly.

“I thought that you had to be lying, I didn't know how you could've gotten pictures of us, we were always so careful. But there was the one time when we made love to each other in the woods, so I think we both figured that was when you had to have caught us. I'm glad no one did though.” Isaac said.

“You're not mad at me are you?”

“Nah, how could we be. You're the one who's made us the happiest. You made everything possible for us to truly love each other and be together. No, if it weren't for you lying to us that day, then there's no telling where we'd be now.” Mitchel smiled warmly.

“Just promise us you won't lie to us again.” Isaac added.

“I promise that I'll never lie, unless I have a very good reason to, but as soon as I'm able to, if I can, then I'll tell you. I'd expect you guys to do the same, because there are times when telling the truth can get you into far more trouble than telling a lie.” Nathan said pointedly.

“Good point.” Mitchel and Isaac nodded.

“Good. Well Babies, let's go home then, it's almost dinner time.” Nathan smiled brightly, the other two grinned and nodded and they all headed home.

“Hi Babies, how was your day?” James asked as they walked in, he was surprisingly in the kitchen making dinner. They figured that he would still be in the office writing.

“Really good, how about you?” Nathan asked, giving his daddy a nice not so father and son kiss.

“Pretty good. Got some good writing done, and just relaxed a bit.”

“That's good.” Nathan smiled, and then the three of them told James all about Benji.

“I wish you hadn't told him about us Baby?” James told Nathan.

“Like I told you the other day, he already has an adult lover himself, so what's he gonna say. He can't say anything, nor can we about them. It's fine though.” Nathan smiled warmly.

“I suppose so. Why don't you boys go get undressed and more comfortable, dinner's almost ready. Don't forget to wash up.”

“Okay.” All three boys said together and took off to do just that.

A few seconds later they were back in the kitchen, where James asked them to set the table, and then a few seconds later they were sitting down to eat. After dinner they all sat back and watched a good movie together, and then headed to bed for the night. Once again, sleep was not on their mind, at least until they were very nearly passing out, something they were all looking forward to all too much.

The following morning though was another long hard workout, the boys actually worked James for a full hour and a half, skipping out on diving, because they knew that Benji was going to be there soon. They climbed out of the pool after their cool down, went and got washed up, and then headed into the house to get diapered and dressed. Just as they were finishing up getting dressed, the doorbell rang, so Isaac went and answered it.

“Hey there Benji, come on in.” Isaac smiled brightly to see their new friend there, even though he knew it was going to be him.

“Thanks. Nice house.”

“Thanks. The others are all upstairs, so let's go find them.”

“Okay, lead the way.” Benji smiled.

“Hi Benji.” Nathan and Mitchel said together.

“Hi guys.”

“Benji, this is our dad, James.” Mitchel introduced.

“Good to meet you James. Now I know why Nathan loves you so much, you're pretty good looking, and definitely gay.” Benji smiled.

“Thanks, I'm not that good looking though. Did the boys ask you to say that?” James asked shyly.

“Um, no, why would they have?”

“I think you can guess from his response.” Nathan laughed.

“Yeah, true. I'm guessing not enough people tell him that huh.”

“No, and even when they do, he still blocks it all out. Hey Daddy, can you take us to the store so we can pick out a movie or two please?” Nathan asked.

“Sure.” James said, glad to have the distraction.

“Cool. Let's go then guys.” Nathan said and led the others back down to the foyer to get their shoes on, and then they headed out to the garage and hopped in the van. As soon as they were all seated and buckled, James pointed them at the store they liked best for movies.

When they arrived, they all went in and right to the movie section, and they all looked around for a few minutes. Even Benji was told to go ahead and look at them, and to tell them if he saw anything that they might like. He picked out three for them, but two were vetoed right away, because they had them already. The other though they took, and with the two others that the rest of them had picked out, they had three movies. They looked around the store for a little longer, to see if there was anything else that they wanted, but they did not find anything, so they paid for their movies and headed out. Nathan told James to hit the grocery store, so he did, and they went in and got a few nice healthy snacks for them all for during their movies, as well as lots to drink as well. After that, they headed back to the house. The boys led Benji right to their theatre room.

“Wow, would you look at this, this is incredible.” Benji gasped when they walked in.

“Thanks.” James smiled, he knew that this was a boys paradise practically.

At random one of the movies was picked out, and as it so happened, it ended up being the one that Benji had chosen. It was put in and the glasses passed around, so they all donned their eye wear and enjoyed the movie a great deal. Benji was amazed at the setup and complimented them all on it a great deal. They decided that they wanted to have lunch after that, so they went and got a nice snack style lunch done up with all sorts of fresh fruits and vegetables, some cheese and crackers, pickles, and a few other things. With drinks as well, they all headed back down to the theatre and watched another movie while enjoying their lunch. They all enjoyed that movie as well.

“Okay, now that the movies are done, and lunch has settled, let's go swimming.” Isaac said after everything was shut down.

“You boys go ahead and have your fun. I'm just gonna go play on the computer for a while, I can't possibly go swimming, I'm still so tired.” James said, but that was only one of the reasons, he did not want to get naked in front of the new boy, at least not yet.

“Okay Baby, go have some fun and relax, we worked you pretty hard this morning.” Nathan smiled warmly.

“I'll say, and on top of the workout you gave me last night. I feel as if I'm one massive bundle of pain.” James laughed.

“Yeah, but we're pretty tired too.” Nathan smiled.

“Glad to hear that at least.”

“Okay, go have fun, we will too.” Nathan smiled, and he and the others all headed off.

As soon as the boys made it to the pool, they all started stripping,and as they did, there was plenty of looking going on, all the boys wanting to see what the new ones looked like naked. Benji had never seen another boy naked before, and the other three had only seen each other naked, so this was all new to all of them. As they all stripped off their soggy diapers, they were all happy to see what they saw.

“You're pretty cute when you're naked.” Nathan smiled to Benji.

“Thanks, so are you guys. You're way bigger 'an I am though.”

“Yeah, but we're a year older and bigger all around than you are, but you're a really good size too. Must be all the exercise you get. Can you wet cum yet?”

“No, can't wait 'til I do though. I do enjoy eating my daddies though.” He grinned.

“Know how you feel.” Nathan grinned.

“I bet. So, what's up with James anyway? Why's he so shy?” Benji asked curiously, they were all in the shower now rinsing off.

“Let's go sit in the hot tub and we'll tell you all about it after we finish in here.”

“Okay.” Benji said, and they all finished rinsing off.

“Well, daddy's just had a long time to get into a really bad rut. It started out by his best friend betraying him when he was our age and telling everyone that he was gay and that he wet the bed. From there it just spiraled out of control, to the point that he has no self worth at all, or at least had. When I found him, he was way more shy than he is now, trust me.” Nathan answered.

“Oh. That's too bad. He's really pretty cute, I don't know why he doesn't see it.”

“Yeah, he is, but 'til quite recently, he was also quite over weight, and that really ruined his perception of himself as well. Hence the reason for the workout comments when you got here. We've all been working him really hard to lose weight and get back to what he was when he was younger and in shape, and we're almost there. He still has a few pounds to lose, but has almost no muscle left to gain back, because I bet he's stronger now than he ever was then. You can still see that he was overweight if you see his skin, because it's pretty loose, but it's getting better.”

“Oh. I sorta noticed that his cheeks looked a little flabby, and his neck too I guess.”

“Exactly. Not sure how to deal with that though.”

“Why not go to a health food store or somewhere like that, I bet they have something for that.”

“That's not a bad idea actually.”

“No problem. So, how is it James can be so shy, yet be so rich and end up adopting three gay boys?” Benji asked curiously.

“I'll take that one.” Mitchel answered.

“Please don't.” Nathan said, but Mitchel ignored him.

“Well, you see, and please tell no one this at all, but Daddy's a really famous author. As you might guess, many authors are very introverted, meaning of course they have no people skills.” Mitchel started.

“Yeah, I know what that is. My daddy's always telling me to stop being such an introvert and go out and do something. He's the reason I was at the park the other day. I'm really quite shy normally too.”

“Yeah, so anyway, Daddy's always been a reader and a writer, and when he was a teen, he wrote his first book, and his cousin, his best friend in the world went behind his back and got him a publisher to get it published, because it was that good. Shortly after that was when the rest of his rut started, his cousin was killed and his parents died as well, so he buried himself in his writing and wrote a lot. The reason we don't want you to tell anyone's simple though, we like our nice quiet life here, we don't want anyone poking their noses in where they don't belong, I think you can understand why that is, because you have at least one of the same reasons.” Mitchel finished.

“Oh. I can understand that no problem. I wouldn't want to be famous either, it'd be horrible. So, does that mean that you're a writer too Nathan, because yesterday Mitchel said that you and James were the same that way?”

“Yes, I am, and my first book is in to be published right now, but again, please don't tell anyone.” Nathan answered softly.

“Wicked, you're only thirteen though, that's so awesome.”

“Yeah, well that one was one of the ones I started when I was eight. I've been writing my entire life. You know some of my history, let's just say that to escape my horrible life, I read a lot, and started to write then because I had so much stuff in my head and it just came pouring out.”

“Wow. I mean I could write and stuff like that at eight, but I definitely couldn't have written a book.”

“You'd be surprised by what you can do actually.” Nathan smiled warmly.

“Maybe, but I'm nowhere near to being a writer. As it is, I never get very good marks on essay writing, but the rest I do really well on.”

“That's fine, no one expects you to be great at everything.” Nathan smiled.

“So, tell us more about you Benji?” Isaac asked.

“Well, as I told you yesterday, I was adopted at five by my daddy, and we've been together ever since. I was teased in school, so Daddy decided to home school me. Not much else to tell really.”

“Maybe not, but how'd he adopt you, where's your parents?” Mitchel asked curiously.

“Not too sure. He doesn't know either. My parents and he were friends, and he was asked to be my guardian if anything ever happened to them. Well, one weekend, they went away, asking him to watch me, and they just never came back. Technically I guess he didn't adopt me for almost two years after that, but he became my daddy that weekend, because we knew that my parents had abandoned me. There was never anything heard from them again, they emptied the house and just left. Even Daddy has no idea why they'd do something like that, he always thought that they were good parents. I don't even remember them, but Daddy says that's more than likely because I did a lot of crying, 'til one day I just stopped and I never mentioned them again, so he thinks I buried it so far beneath everything that I just no longer remember them at all. He says' it's probably not a good thing, but because I'm happy, there's no point in doing much about it.” Benji shrugged.

“Hmm. That's too bad. I wonder what could have caused them to do such a thing?” Isaac said in thought.

“Who knows. Daddy and I've tried to figure it out, and a couple years ago he even had a detection agency look into seeing if they could find them, but they found nothing at all. I told him not to waste his money, but he said it was important that we know what happened to them, and that it wasn't wasted money. If they didn't want me, then I think it was wasted money. I'm happy with who and what I am and how it all turned out, so why bother.”

“Yeah, but really, you should know, so that you can heal, because trust me, if you've repressed memories that much that you can't even remember your parents from when you were five, then that's bad, and will cause problems later on.” Nathan said softly.

“Why, they're nothing to me any more, they abandoned me, they left me with nothing, with no explanation, they just left me. Why should I remember them, why should I remember anything?”

“They didn't leave you with nothing though, did they? They left you with a kind caring person, they made sure there was something there for you, and maybe they did it for a reason.” Nathan said softly.

“What kind of reason could you think of for them to just leave with no explanation?” Benji asked softly.

“Not too sure. Maybe they were running from something, maybe they were dying, maybe they just didn't think they were cut out to be parents.” Nathan said.

“Running from something, okay maybe, in order to save me and Daddy, they wouldn't say anything, so that they couldn't be traced, but really, any other reason, why didn't they just say something, instead of just leaving.”

“Who knows, but unless they're found, or something, then you'll never truly know, now will you.”

“Exactly, so I'll never know.”

“You don't know that. Personally I think you should see a therapist or something, because you're already angry with them, it can only get worse.” Nathan suggested.

“I don't wanna though. What if the person figures out what's going on between me and Daddy, we'd be ruined? And besides, the only reason I'm angry is 'cause they left without saying anything, not even goodbye.”

“Didn't they? Didn't they give you a hug and kiss goodbye when they left you with your dad?” Isaac asked.

“I don't know. I guess maybe they did.”

“So, maybe they were saying goodbye to you for forever but couldn't actually say it. I bet they were crying too, weren't they?”

“I.....I....I.....Don't know.” Benji answered, honestly not knowing.

“So, there you have it, maybe they did, maybe they were trying to tell you as best they could, but couldn't. I can understand why you wouldn't want to see a therapist, but you and your dad should talk it out a great deal.”

“I guess so.” Benji sighed.

“Good. Now, hows about we talk about something more fun. This is much too serious.” Nathan said, all upbeat.

For the next five minutes, they joked around, until they all decided to hop in the pool. All the toys were brought out, and they all played and had fun, just like friends were supposed to. For more than an hour more, they swam and played and had fun, before they all sat back in the hot tub for a bit more to relax.

“This is really nice. I've never had any real friends before. I go to a home school support group once a week, but none of the others have much to do with me, I don't know why I go. If it weren't for Daddy telling me I should, and to try and make friends, I wouldn't bother.” Benji sighed.

“Why won't they have anything to do with you?” Mitchel asked.

“Not too sure. Maybe they know I'm gay, but at least one other there I'm certain is as well, so not sure.”

“Yeah, but have you ever really tried to make friends there?” Isaac asked.

“Yeah.”

“Really?” Mitchel pushed.

“Maybe not as hard as I should've.” Benji conceded.

“Then there you go. When's the next meeting, we'll go with you as well?” Isaac said happily.

“What, really?”

“Sure, why not. We need other friends too.” Mitchel smiled.

“Cool. It starts the same week as school does, so in a week, holy crap, we only have a week left before school starts.”

“Yeah, didn't it register before now?” Nathan asked, laughing.

“Apparently not.” Benji laughed as well.

“Clearly. So, when do you have to be home then?” Nathan asked.

“Doesn't matter really, as long as I'm home before eight. Daddy won't be home 'til probably then at the earliest, but he said home by eight, no questions, so I won't.”

“I wouldn't either. That's plenty of time though. Want to have dinner with us as well?”

“Sure, if James doesn't mind.”

“He won't. Come on, let's go get cleaned and diapered and then go do something.” Mitchel said.

“Okay.” They all said.

They nearly ran through the shower, rinsed off, dried off, and naked, ran into the house. They headed right to Mitchel and Isaac's bedroom, where Benji was urged to lay down first, and then the three of them creamed and diapered him, obviously he got hard for that. He then helped to cream and diaper the others as well until they were all set, and all in just diapers, headed out to find something else to do.

James had went to his office to do some writing, but a few times he got up and checked on the boys, looking through the kitchen window into the pool house, and he admitted that he liked the new sight that welcomed him as he checked out Benji. He was really very cute, and decently endowed for a boy of twelve. He enjoyed watching the boys play care free and free to be who and what they were. He smiled every time he went to watch them. He did wish that it could have been him at that age, but that was the past, and now he was going to allow the boys the freedom he did not have and could not have back then.

James heard the boys come in and get diapered and came out to meet them just as they were coming to find him. Seeing Benji naked was fine, but seeing him diapered was fantastic, he was really hot in his diaper, every bit as hot as the other three boys were.

“Hey boys, what's up?” James asked.

“From the bulge in your diaper, I'd say you.” Nathan teased.

“Yeah, and seeing four hot boys in just nice thick diapers wouldn't make you hard.” James grinned.

“Touche.” Nathan grinned right back.

“What were you boys gonna get up to now?”

“Not too sure, we were just coming to find you to see what you wanted to do, if anything.” Isaac answered.

“Cool. Well, what time do you have to be home by Benji?”

“Eight.”

“That's good. I trust you're staying for dinner then?”

“The boys said I should, but only if you say it's okay.”

“Of course it is. If we want to eat though boys, I think we should go grocery shopping. We probably should've just done that earlier, because we're getting low on the food stocks. So, you can either come with me or stay here, your choice.”

“Well, I for one am going with you, how about you guys?” Nathan said.

“Up to you Benji.” Isaac said.

“Yeah, if you want to go, then we'll go as well, if not, then we'll stay here with you.” Mitchel added.

“Sure, why not.” Benji smiled.

“Okay, go get dressed boys.” James smiled, and they all headed out to get dressed.

A few minutes later they were headed out to the grocery store to get themselves all the food that they would be needing for the next week or so. They were there for at most an hour, and stocked up on pretty much everything that they would need. James was getting better though, he not even once tried to throw something unhealthy into the cart, and when they headed to the tills to pay, Nathan smiled to him and said he was proud. James did not have to ask what for, because he knew. As soon as they were done, they headed back to the house and got all the groceries brought in, and then James and Nathan got started on dinner, while the other three sat in the kitchen and talked to them.

Once dinner was ready, they all sat down to eat, and as they did so, they laughed and talked and had a good time. After that, they all sat back and watched TV until it was time for Benji to be heading home.

“Thanks for the great day guys, it was really nice. I like having friends.” Benji smiled warmly, he was standing there, already dressed and with his shoes on, ready to head out the door.

“You're welcome, we were happy to have you over.” Nathan smiled as well.

“I won't be able to come over tomorrow, but maybe I can come over the next day, that is if you guys aren't doing anything.”

“I was thinking of spending the day at the soup kitchen cooking, since that seems to be the day we do it, but if you want to come and help out, another hand would be appreciated I'm sure.”

“Um, what for?”

“We try and make it once a week to the soup kitchen, we take a bunch of food and we cook food for the less fortunate in the area. Sadly, there's far too many of them, so we do what we can to help out.” Nathan answered again.

“Okay, sure, that sounds nice.”

“Okay, come over the day after tomorrow then at he same time and we'll head out shortly after you get here.” James said this time.

“Cool, thanks a lot guys, have a good night.”

“You too.” They all said, and then Benji headed out.

“He sure seems like a nice boy.” James said as soon as he was gone.

“He is, and he's hurting a lot more than he cares to admit.” Isaac said, and then the three boys explained to James why.

“Poor kid, just not knowing like that.” James said sadly.

“Yeah. Is there a way that we can find anything out for him?” Mitchel asked this time.

“If his dad already had a detective agency look into it, then probably not. I mean, we can give them more money and task them with finding anything, but money can only go so far. If they wanted to stay hidden, it wouldn't be that hard to do it, and no amount of money could find them. We'd have to run an ad campaign worldwide to have everyone look for them, but that's not really possible.”

“Oh, I guess you're right. It's too bad though, because he hurts so much because they didn't say anything, didn't leave anything, just left him, abandoned him. At least they left him with someone they knew and trusted, someone to be his daddy, but still, it hurts him.” Mitchel said softly.

“I'm sure they had their reasons, and even though we don't see it as right or good, at the time, to them maybe it was the best option they had available to them. At least they cared enough to make sure that he had someone there for him. Sadly far too many kids are just told to go and never come back. You boys know that far better than most, just look at yourselves.”

“Yeah, we know.” They all said, even though technically Nathan had not yet been thrown out, but he was not allowed to live there really at all.

“Exactly, just point that out to him, that at least they did love him enough to do that. Maybe he'll talk to his daddy more and find out everything, he needs to find it all out, find out everything that his dad knows, it'll help him out.”

“I guess so. I wish there was more we could do though.” Nathan said.

“We always wish we can do more, but sometimes there's just nothing more that can be done. And money isn't the be all and end all solution either. No, we're not gonna bother even trying to throw more money at it, because it'll be a pointless waste. If we had anything to go on, then maybe, but we don't.”

“Yeah, I know you're right.” Nathan smiled.

For the rest of the night, they all curled up on the couch and watched TV, all of them enjoying the nice comfortable cuddles. They went to bed early, and tonight was actually a fairly tame night. They did get their nightly exercise, but not as much and for not nearly as long, but they were satisfied.

The next day went by slowly for all of them. Mitchel called and talked to Michael for a while in the late morning, and Nathan called and talked to his grandparents for a while in the late afternoon, otherwise, they sat around doing nothing much for the most part. They had their two workouts though, and both were good, but their nightly one was far more pleasurable.

“Good morning Benji.” Nathan said as soon as he answered the door, he was still dripping wet from climbing out of the shower, they had just finished their workout.

“Good morning. I figured you must have still been in the pool, I've been waiting a few minutes.” Benji smiled.

“Yeah, sorry about that. There's no doorbell out there and we had an extra long workout this morning. We probably should get the doorbell hooked up out there though, it'd make it a lot easier.” Nathan smiled.

“It's okay, don't do it on my account.” Benji smiled.

“We wouldn't, it would be for everyone's benefit.”

“True.”

“Come on in, we just have to go get dried, diapered and dressed, so give us a few minutes and we'll head out.”

“Okay.” Benji smiled.

The others had already headed upstairs, so Nathan went and joined them, and within a few minutes, they were all ready and raring to go, so they all hopped in the van and headed out. Their first stop of the morning was a thrift store, where the boys all picked out an assortment of small toys for all the kids, they having to explain to Benji what they were doing and why. From there they headed to the grocery store and they loaded up another three carts of food and paid for it all, before heading out to the soup kitchen.

Once again the man who ran the kitchen was more than happy to see them, and ecstatic about all the food that they had brought, and for the next several hours, they all cooked and served the food. It was nearing four by the time they left, all the toys were given out, all the food was eaten, and everything was cleaned spotless by the time they left.

“Wow, that was a lot of work. I had no idea that there were so many people that needed the soup kitchens, and all those kids too. Did you see how dirty and worn their clothes were though?” Benji said in sadness.

“Yeah, it's a lot of work, but it feels good to do it. The sad thing is, there's loads more than just the ones we saw today, there are at least three other soup kitchens in town, all in different areas. That one usually does a nice big lunch, because it's a good meal for everyone, but the others usually do a small breakfast and dinner. There's always lots of kids there, and yeah, their clothes are usually that ratty looking. In fact, next week, instead of toys, I think we should get all the kids some new clothes. Most of the kids were the same as last week, so they've mostly gotten a couple toys now, so some good clothes that aren't all worn out might not be so bad.” Nathan answered.

“Yeah, but how will you know their sizes?” Benji asked curiously.

“I won't, at least not exactly, but we'll buy lots in different sizes and hopefully everyone will get something that they can use. We should probably buy a whole bunch of socks and underwear new though, so that they can all get at least a couple new pairs of those. I'll remember most, but I won't be able to know though who all will be there next week.” Nathan answered again.

“Oh. That's super nice of you guys to do all that.”

“It was nice of you too to come and help. You certainly didn't have to.”

“Yeah, but I didn't pay anything.”

“So, neither did we, James paid for it all, we were just there to help with everything else. Money isn't the be all and end all to fix things, more often than not, it's being there to help out is more than enough. The soup kitchen probably had plenty of food to cook already anyway, we just brought nice fresh stuff, so that's what we used instead. They always have lots of dried, canned and frozen stuff to use, as well as a bit of fresh stuff, but we brought all fresh. We wouldn't really have to, but they all appreciate it. Anything you do, even if it's just a bit, is more than enough, and usually far more than most do, that's for sure.” Nathan said again.

“Oh, I guess I see your point. I have a bunch of clothes from when I was smaller that I could bring though. We still haven't taken them to the thrift store, so I'd like to take them and give them to the kids.”

“There, that's all you really have to do, and to some kid, that'll be huge.”

“Thanks.” Benji smiled warmly.

“No prob. So, when do you have to be home, or would you like to come to our place and go for a nice swim and hit the hot tub for a while to relax?”

“My dad's out 'til at least six again, but probably eight, so he told me to be home by eight again, so I'd like to go and relax with you guys for a bit, and I wanted to talk to you about something as well.” Benji smiled.

“Good, we'll get an early dinner then, since we all skipped lunch again, and then we'll relax.” James said.

“Okay.” All the boys said, they were all very much good with that, since they were all hungry as well. They had all skipped lunch, they were too busy to eat themselves, but the smells just made them far more hungry.

As soon as they made it home, they all went in and made and ate dinner, and then headed out to the pool. They rinsed off, and then just slipped into the hot tub. James did as well without really even thinking about it, all he wanted was the hot tub and was not thinking about the fact that Benji was there with them, not that he would mind though.

“So, I trust the guys told you about me James?” Benji asked as soon as they were all seated comfortably.

“Yeah, they did.”

“Good, then I don't have to go over all that again. Anyway, I talked to my daddy last night, I asked him anything he remembered about my parents, I made myself relive those days I forget. He told me that they had always been great parents, 'til the day they left. They asked him to watch me for the weekend, they gave no hints to say they weren't gonna be coming back at all. He did say that they cried a lot when they said goodbye, but he said in all fairness, it didn't tip him off as to what they were planning, because while I'd stayed there for the evening when they went out, they'd never left me over night anywhere 'til then, so he just thought it was really hard on them. They weren't rich or anything, in fact they had very little, but they gave me everything that I needed and everything they could give to make me happy. He didn't have many pictures of us together, and when he looked in the house to see if they left anything, there weren't even any pictures. He hoped that they took the pictures to remind them of me, but they knew that he had lots of pictures of us together as well, but he doesn't have as many as he thought he did, nor that they must have thought. One of his photo albums was missing, and he can't find it. He hopes it's just hiding somewhere, but what few pictures he had, we looked at and he told me everything he could remember about that time, because most of the pictures, it was him behind the camera. We still have no idea what could have made them leave, but one thing we're both certain of, is that they didn't want to.”

“That's good Benji, we're happy for you.” Nathan said softly.

“Happy, why would you be happy?” Benji asked, sounding almost hurt.

“Because you found out what you wanted and needed to know. They didn't abandon you, they left you with their best friend for some unknown reason, that they didn't want to, but clearly they had to. They also took all your pictures with them, more than likely so that they always had you with them. No, you may never find them, but at least you finally have them back in your heart again, and that's all anyone can hope. Trust me, we all know far too much what real abandonment is like, we were all abandoned, Mitchel and Isaac worse in some ways than I was, but in some ways it was worse for me, because I never had a family at all. No, trust me, they loved you and it hurt them to leave you, maybe, more than likely it hurts them far more than it ever has you. No, for whatever reason they had to leave, it wasn't because of you, and them leaving you wasn't your fault.” Nathan said softly.

“Yeah, I guess I can see your point. How could you guys have dealt with being abandoned though, I hated feeling like that?”

“We had others there to help us, and so did you, you just didn't really know it well at that time, and well, I never had a family. Sure, they were there, and they gave me what I needed, except the one thing a child needs more than all else, love. You had that, but at that age, you just saw that your parents left you and never came back, and with no explanation. I'm still bitter over my childhood, trust me, I'm not as cured as you might think, I really do have a serious trust issue, and it takes a lot for me to trust anyone. You know that a little bit, I didn't want the others to tell you that I was a writer, I don't want anyone to really know me. James and I got to know each other, we were so much alike, it was hard for us to not trust each other when we first met. It took a long time for me to really trust Mitchel and Isaac, but now I trust them with everything I have. They have family love issues, because since the age of eight, when they started to realize what exactly they were and what they knew their parents would do to them if they were ever found out, they knew they weren't loved. They're getting better too, because of the love that we all share here. No, none of us will ever truly be cured, and James is no exception to that either, you know his story too, but together we'll be just fine. Your daddy will always be there for you, he's the one you really need now most of all, and he'll help you to grow.”

“Yeah, I suppose that's true, and I did know about you guys, it does show a bit.”

“It is. Well, come on, let's go play in the pool for a bit.” Nathan smiled warmly and led the others in hopping in the pool. They all joined him though.

For almost half an hour, they all swam and played in the pool, just having a great deal of fun, the boys all getting up and diving from the boards for a bit.

“James, why don't you get up on the boards and see if you still have it and really show us boys? You haven't even climbed up on them since we moved here, and you used to dive so well you said.” Nathan called out and asked James, he was standing up next to the diving board at the time.

“No thanks. I'm not ready for that yet.” James said shyly.

“Come on Baby, you're as ready as you'll ever be. You can do it, we know you can.” Nathan gently urged.

“But, I haven't been up on the boards since you boys were all born, or longer.”

“So, you still know everything there is to know about it, look how well you've been teaching us.” Mitchel said this time.

“I don't know.”

“Come on Baby, hop up, let's see your stuff.”

“All I have to do is climb out of the pool for that to happen.” James chuckled.

“True, but that's not what I was referring to you sick old man.” Nathan laughed.

“Fine, just don't laugh at me if I flop.” James said softly.

“We'd never do that, you know that, and if you do, it's because you're out of practice and need to get back into it again.” Isaac said this time.

James did not say anything further, just climbed out of the pool and headed to the low dive board, the boys all cleared off for him, and he climbed up and prepared himself. Doing a soft run, James ran and jumped, sprang and then flew. Then something happened that he was not expecting, all his practice just flowed through him as he was in the air, and he remembered why it was that he loved diving so much, he was totally and completely free. In mid air, almost without his thinking about it, James curled and executed a very respectable single front flip and entered the pool with only a bit more splash than he was used to.

“Wow, you did that so gracefully.” Nathan said as he pulled himself back up and out of the pool.

“Thanks. That felt really nice. It's been so long since I felt free like that, flying through the air.” James said wistfully.

“Go for it again, go for the double you're trying to get us to do.” Nathan urged.

“Okay.” James said, and then hopped up on the board, and this time with a much harder run, he ran and jumped, sprang into the air, and did just as Nathan told him to, and nailed it. It was still a little sloppy, but it showed that he used to, years before, have a lot of skill.

“Wow, that was awesome. None of us can do it that well.” Nathan said as James pulled himself from the water.

“Thanks. I forgot what it was like to dive and why I enjoyed doing it so much. It feels nice. Thanks.” James smiled and hugged Nathan warmly.

For about half an hour more, all five of them played on the diving boards, James really showing the boys now how to dive, and he was having just as good a time as the boys were, more actually. They all ended up stumbling into the sauna, laughing and tired, to sit back and relax for a bit, then hit the hot tub, and finally the pool almost twenty minutes after that to cool down.

“Now, that feels so much better. Thanks a lot boys.” James smiled again as they were heading to the showers to clean up.

“You're welcome.” The boys all said.

From there, they all headed into the house and got diapered up, had a snack, and sat down to watch TV until Benji had to head home for the night.

“Thanks a lot for the great day guys, it was nice.” Benji said as he was ready to leave.

“Thanks for the help, we're glad that you had fun as well.” James smiled.

A few seconds later, with goodbyes all around, Benji headed home with a promise that he would come back in a few days. Just as Benji was leaving, Nathan's cell phone started ringing.

“Hi.” Nathan answered.

“Hey Baby, it's Grandma, how's it goin'?”

“Good, and you?”

“Really good. We just received the pictures that Jim and Sally did of all of us, and we've scanned and sent you the pictures in an email, and we want to know which ones you guys want blown up for yourselves.”

“Oh, okay, let me go grab my computer and we can all look at them and I'll call you back as soon as we've picked out which ones.”

“Okay, talk to you in about an hour then.”

“Is there really that many?”

“Oh yeah, and it'll take a while to pick which ones you like. We got the pictures at four this afternoon, and we just finished looking at them and scanning them into the computer.”

“Oh. Maybe we'll look at them tomorrow then, because it's getting late, so maybe I'll just call you tomorrow then.”

“That sounds good, that'd definitely put you boys really late. So how's it been lately?” Grandma asked.

“Really good.” Nathan answered, and then told her all about Benji and what they had done that day. “How about you guys?”

“We're doing pretty good I guess, nothing so exciting as all that though. Been at work most days though trying to get everything prepared. I don't know who or what they were, or what they were doing, but they made my entire department a disaster area, and it's taken me the better part of a week just to clean it all up, I haven't even started organizing anything yet. Oh well, whatever right. It's nice to hear that you have another friend, and it was nice to show him how to help out others like that.”

“Ooh, sounds exciting. He's really nice, and he's super cute too, but he had as much fun as we did as we were working, so that's good.”

“Let me guess, if you didn't both have perfect boyfriends already, you might be interested in each other!” Grandma said.

“Actually, I doubt it, I think we see each other as better friends than we ever could as boyfriends.”

“Maybe, or maybe it's because you're both already in relationships. Who's to say what would happen if you weren't.”

“Possible. Well, I better go and tell the others what's happening, and we're getting pretty close to ready for bed.”

“Okay Sweety, have a good night, talk to you tomorrow.”

“Okay, love you.”

“Love you too.” Grandma said and they hung up.

Nathan went and told the others what was happening, and then as soon as he was done, they all headed to bed. Not only were they getting tired, but they were also more than ready to go have their evening exercise session. Nathan passed out tonight, James worked him so hard and long, but James nearly passed out as well. Mitchel and Isaac too were almost passing out by the time they were finished making love to each other, but all of them did end up nice and thickly diapered, so they were all good to sleep.

The following morning, after breakfast and morning workouts were complete, this time James joining the boys in their diving, they all went and got cleaned up and diapered for the day, and then went and sat around Nathan's computer and looked at all the pictures. It took them almost three hours to go through all the pictures and decide which ones they wanted blown up. To ease in the choice though, because they were having a hard time seeing the pictures, they hooked the computer to the TV and looked at them in fifty inch high resolution, that made it a lot easier to see. They ended up choosing five photos to have blown up, one of each of the four of them, which they would have done in eight by tens, and then one of them with the grandparents that they wanted blown up to around twenty by thirty for in the living room. Once they had that done, Nathan called his grandparents.

“Hi Grandpa, how's it goin'?”

“Good Handsome, and you?”

“Really good. We just went through all the pictures you guys sent to us, and we really liked them, but we managed to choose five of them.”

“Wow, you either got a late start, or it really took you a long time to pick out the ones you wanted.”

“It took us almost three hours to choose the ones we wanted.”

“Yeah, about how long it took us I guess.”

Nathan then told Grandpa which ones they wanted and in what sizes.

“Okay, I'll have Jim and Sally call you when they're done for you then, and you can just pick them up there. No point in having them shipped here and then back to you guys, it's just silly.”

“Yeah, it would be. Thanks.”

“No problem. Well, unfortunately I have to get going, I have a meeting to get to in about half an hour, and I'm still in just my soggy diaper, so I have to get ready to go.”

“You and me both. Well all of us here actually. Have a good day, love you.”

“Love you too, have a good day.”

“You too.” Nathan finished and they hung up.

Nathan went and told the others what was happening, and then for the rest of the day, they stayed around the house, not really doing much of anything. The next day was much the same again, nothing much happening, but they all had a nice time together as well. There was only a few days left before the end of summer, when the boys would have to get back into the swing of doing school work every day. They had decided that while they were certainly welcome to do so, that they did not care to start before they had to, but that they would do it wholeheartedly once they had to. Benji showed up about fifteen minutes after the guys finished their workout for the day, and then they spent the day together, once again doing not much. Today though Benji was asked to be home for five, so that they could have dinner together.

Saturday came, and Benji was there again just after the guys finished their workout, and he had a large bag with him of all his old used clothes that he no longer fit into. He had even gone through his dresser to check everything to make sure it was still fitting, and he added an extra few articles of clothing to the bag.

“Hey there, looks like you have a good sized bag of clothes for the kids today.” Nathan said as he answered the door and saw the bag Benji was carrying.

“Yeah, I do. When are we gonna head out?”

“Pretty quick here actually. The others just went to get diapered and dressed, but you rang the doorbell just as we were entering our bedrooms, so I told the others I'd come let you in. Come on in and let me go get dressed. Don't bother taking your shoes off, we'll be right out.”

“Okay.” Benji said, and Nathan headed off to get diapered and dressed, James of course happily helping him to do so.

A few minutes later they were all off and running, all the others saying hello to Benji as they went out the door.

“Where to first boys?” James asked.

“A cheap department store for socks and undies.” Isaac suggested.

“Good plan.” James said and headed off to a nearby store that would fit the bill.

Once there, they all went in and got about twice as many socks and underwear as they would need, figuring that they could give the kids two pairs of each. They grabbed pretty much every size that they had, and in both boys and girls, and before too long, headed out. From there they hit a thrift store that they knew always had lots of clothes, so went there and got a lot of good used clothes for the kids and piled them in a cart. They also went and grabbed a couple dozen pairs of shoes in various sizes, and then went and paid for it. From there was to the grocery store, where they once again loaded three carts up nearly to the point of bursting, then paid for that and headed to the soup kitchen.

Once there, they went about the daunting chore of bringing everything in and setting it out where it needed to be. Benji and Nathan went about getting all the clothes and shoes set out in bins for the kids to pick through to choose what they wanted. The others got started on cooking, but when Nathan and Benji were finished, they went and helped with the food preparations as well.

At the allotted time, the doors were opened, and the people started coming in, and today there were more people than normal, most of them kids. It seems the less fortunate with kids were told to come to that particular soup kitchen, because there was a generous person there almost every weekend to give kids little things they needed, so there were more than they had expected. They were all thankful that they had bought a lot extra though.

Nathan and Benji went about the chore of helping kids pick out clothes, they asked all the boys and girls to pick out one outfit, underwear and socks as well, that they would be able to use, helping them to do so. All the kids were happy, the parents were more so though. They all ate a really good meal and the kids got some much needed clothes, and by the time that the soup kitchen closed for the day, they had run out of everything. Food and clothes alike. A couple kids, two girls and one boy, did not end up with new shoes, because there were none to fit them, so they ended up getting a couple pairs of pants and underwear instead, whereas there was one boy that there were no pants to fit, so he got two pairs of shoes, and the rest mostly got one full set of good clothes to wear. The last few kids to come through though ended up getting the remainder of the underwear and socks, as well as almost two full outfits, just no shoes, because they were already gone. It was a good day.

“Wow, that was a lot of people.” James said as they closed up for the day.

“Yeah, it was more than normal, that's for sure, and it seemed that we had twice as many kids today than we normally get as well. I think word's gone around that this one is more kid oriented than the others, and that we have stuff for the kids here.” The organizer of the facility said.

“And that's okay, as long as they don't come to expect something every time they come here. We're happy to bring stuff to help the kids, but we won't every time, we just wanted to get some more good stuff out there for them.” James said.

“And I'm sure they'll be fine with that. May I make a suggestion though. Not now, but soon, before winter, that if you care to bring anything, that you bring warm clothes, jackets, gloves, blankets, things like that.”

“I think we were all planning on it already, no worries there.” James smiled.

“Good. The closer to winter it gets, the more I see people needing that sort of thing. I always bring in whatever blankets and stuff I can get from storage, but they're always gone long before the people who need them are.”

“I bet, but we'll do what we can.”

“I wish there were more people like you guys out there. We have so few volunteers, especially ones who bring so much as well. This week, even with buying almost all those clothes at thrift stores, you guys had to have spent a couple thousand dollars.”

“Nearly three actually, but really, it's only a little bit, and they need it more than we do, and we have lots.”

“Yet you never ask for a tax receipt.”

“Nah, why bother. That small amount isn't even worth it for me.”

“Oh.”

“Yeah, well we'd better be heading out, Benji here should be getting home pretty soon.”

“Oh crap, yeah, it's almost four already and Dad wanted me home for five.”

“Then you guys go ahead and head home, have a good day, and thanks. Will you be here next weekend as well?”

“More than likely, but we never know what's happening, so we'll see then.” James answered.

“Okay, well, see you next time then, thanks.”

“And thanks to you as well.” James said, the boys all said goodbye to him and his helper, and then they headed out.

“Wow, all those poor kids. Most of them were nearly crying about getting used clothes, they said they were so nice, and getting brand new socks and underwear that no one else had ever had before was amazing.” Benji said in awe once they were in the van.

“Yeah. There's far too many kids out there that have so little, and here we were thinking that we all had it bad.” Nathan said softly.

“Gives life a whole new perspective, doesn't it boys. Just because you have it rough, doesn't mean that there isn't someone out there who doesn't have it even worse. Of course, that's not to say that what you had wasn't bad, and in some ways it was far worse than even those kids today. At least most of them have a caring parent there with them, even though they're dirt poor, or worse, they still have each other. While you boys all had the material things you needed, you didn't have the one thing that some of those kids have, and that's a loving parent. No, each person has their own personal hell to deal with, but no child should have to go without warm clothes and good food, that's where we can help so much.”

“Yeah, you're right. Thanks for teaching us all that.” Mitchel said.

“It was really taught to me by my parents. They always told me that no matter what I thought was bad about my life, because I did have a rough childhood with being sick all the time, they always told me that at least I had a caring family to come home to, a nice roof over my head that didn't leak, we had no insects or rodents crawling all over us, we always had good food, and I rarely had to go without that of which I wanted. They told me from a young age, that even though we weren't terribly rich, we did pretty good, that we had a thousand times more than so many others, and that every day I should be thankful for it. I spent many days in soup kitchens even as a kid, younger than you boys, and I learned what it was like to help out others that were less fortunate than I by the time I was ten.”

“Then they were good people as well, and it shows in you. And now you're passing that onto us, and that can only be good too.” Nathan smiled warmly.

“Yes, they were, and yes, it's good.” James smiled warmly.

As soon as they made it back to the house, Benji said that he should be heading home, so he headed out right away after saying goodbye to the others, while the rest headed into the house, got an early dinner, and then went and relaxed in the hot tub for a while, before going and watching TV for the rest of the night.
