Also allows for discussions and more fun (Sean M 31, Kweli M10, Kareem M8, Ash M11, Luca M6, Lucifer M5) "Ok Caroline, hit me what condition is it that I must do to foster the two boys?" I said partly knowing where this was going. I was cuddling into Lucifer that was softly rocking still omitting the noises but they had gone down greatly in volume. It had appeared to me that he was slowly calming down and this was good. "I have never seen someone react to Lucifer that way. I can't believe that you swaddled a 5yo autistic boy called Lucifer. So to Foster the boys I want you to take him on too. You are the first one to actually look up his condition and treat him with affection. Most ignore it or try to restrain him" I actually giggled and looked down at the restrained boy and she continued "you know what I mean smart ass. You did what was best for him not put more strain on him. Therefore I think it would be extremely beneficial to Lucifer if you become his guardian." She replied. Sitting in the position I was I could see the whole room, I could see Ash and Luca watching me and Innocence looking at me expectantly. "Caroline I'm sorry I can't foster Lucifer and if that means you don't want to place the other boys with me too I understand. I saw Ash and Luca's shoulders drop slightly but their faces never changed. "What? Why?" Caroline asked her plan going totally out of the window. "Sean what the hell why not" Innocence said to me angrily. "Why uncle Sean" Kweli started "He needs you" Kareem finished. I motioned for them to be quiet and said "You all right. From what I can see and hear Lucifer needs someone to take the time to help him become the man he should be. One to learn and understand that he is not an autistic boy but a boy with autism and someone that will learn what that means to him. To do this he can't just be passed around he needs someone willing to devote at least 15 years to him. That's why I can't foster him. I want to adopt him. He needs the stability that adoption brings so I want to adopt him. If the other 2 wanna stay with me further down the line I will adopt them too." I said to a stunned silence whilst watching the 2 new boys. "You....you want to adopt him?? You do know he can't do anything and just sits and screams or rocks backwards and forwards. He has to be force fed. He has to be forced dressed and forced bathed I mean look at him he is that dirty because of how he reacts to baths. No one can handle him for more than a month." Caroline said to me in shock. "Caroline look at him now he is calming down. If you look at him now he is not the boy you described. If I was to guess the people that had him before didn't understand his needs so couldn't help him advance to be the person he is. I am willing to do that for him and learn to understand him. Is that not the best thing for Lucifer? For any child? But I understand your concern so how about this. If I can last a month with Lucifer you will let me adopt him?" I said back. "Yes that will be fine but I don't think you will still want him after the month." Caroline said back to me. I had been watching Ash and Luca as I was talking to Caroline and noticed that they where following the conversation very well for people who didn't speak the language. I also could feel that Lucifer had stopped rocking and seemed much calmer. I got up off the chair and lay Lucifer on the floor and gentility started to unwrap him. I watched him carefully as I unwrapped his dirty pale body. He was showing no signs of stressing back out so once unwrapped I got him some blank paper and pencils and put them in front of him. Turning to Caroline I asked "if you have the papers I will sign them and let you get on the way." After we signed the papers I walked her to the door before she got in the car she turned to me and said. "Sean the two boys you found has been missing a week and don't stay long with foster families before running out on them. Also they know how to speak English." "Oh I know they do. They put a wall up in front of me and part of that is pretending not to know what I say." I replied "How did you know?" "Just by watching them. They were following what we were saying too well for people that didn't understand, also when I said I wouldn't take them if I fostered Lucifer their shoulders dropped a little as if they were upset showing they understood what I said." "I didn't pick up on any of that your very observant. You might just make this work Sean. Good luck. Oh can I come in a few days to check up and give you details on all the boys cases." "Of course you can Caroline. I will see you in a few days." I answered. I watched as she drove away and I went back into my house and grabbed my laptop before making my way to the family room. I had Kweli put on a tv show for them to watch as I started to look up autism. I had been looking up thing for almost a hour when I saw that Lucifer was starting to rock again. I looked over at him and saw him fingering the front of his briefs which looked pretty damp. I touched Kareem's arm and motioned for him follow me. Once into kitchen I filled a mop bucket up with soapy water. "Kareem after I take Lucifer upstairs can you go in and clean up where he was sitting I don't think he has been trained to use the toilet or has some fear/anxiety of the bathroom." "Ok uncle Sean." "Thank you cutie" I said kissing the top of his head. "Al need you to translate for me when I talk to Ash, Lucifer, and Luca." I asked the computer system. "Yes sir" came my reply over the speakers. I walked back into family room and walked so I was facing Lucifer but had the table he was using to draw on between us. I then sat down so that I was not over him but at his own level. I softly tapped the table to attract his attention. I spoke softly to him "Lucifer can you come with me and get a bath." (Lucifer nak yj maas tem ym mok ne n' dab yrk). I reached out my hand out to him and lay it on the table just in front of him. He looked at my hand and put down his pencils. He then stood up. I followed suit and moved to the door. I watched as he slowly followed me. I couldn't help but notice the way he reacted to his name. I then led him to the washroom which I felt would be the best place to do this. I moved him to the Center of the room and closed the door I went back to him and getting on one knee so I was at his height I said "Lucifer we need to get you washed. I understand that this has been hard for you in the past but I hope to make this easier for you. I'm not sure if you even understand this but I don't think ur stupid so I will explain what we do." (Lucifer, sno teom uoj taal leops. Ke naatsrev tad tid edelrev riv uoj kilieom saw, raam ke pooh tid riv uoj rejilkam et kaam. Ke si ein rekes fo tid sfles naatsrev ein, raam ke knid ein yj si mod ein, os ke las kilediudrev taw sno neod.) I said in a calm light neutral tone. The next thing I did was go over to the unit and picked up all the different fragrant shower gel, soap, and shampoo I had. Taking them back over to Lucifer I sat them all on the floor I noticed that he was looking all around the room very nervously and was squinting a little like the light was bothering him. "I am now going to let you smell each of these as we are going to find one you will like. Al lights to 50%" (ke naag uoj uon neekle taal kiur tadmo sno nee naag dniv taw yj las liw eh. Al gil tot 50%) I said before I demonstrated to him what I was doing before I attempted to do to him. The lights turned down to a softer level and his movements looking around the room become less erratic and slightly more focused. I went through each of them first taking a smell of each before offering them to Lucifer to smell. All but two of the bottles had the same reaction and that would be them knocked out of my hand and onto the floor. The two that didn't at first I was surprised at one before thinking about it. The other I had anticipated having a reaction but not as strong. This was a mint shower gel and to be honest it is strong. Lucifer took it from my hands and threw it across the room. It was then I decided that this was not going to be used in my house again. I would not want to cause stress in Lucifer just by one of us using it then sitting near him. The other one that had some reaction was the lavender one. The soft scent actually made Lucifer move the bottle towards him. Again without making contact with me. I put down the bottle and put the others away. I also placed the mint one inside the bin to be thrown out. Then I went and turned on the shower and got the temperature down to what I thought was a reasonable temperature for a 5yo. Then I went to Lucifer and explaining what I was going to do I took off the last of his clothes. I made a mental note of the size and then binned them too. I then undressed myself and stood under the shower showing Lucifer it was ok and won't hurt him. I shivered at the warm temperature as I was used to it very hot. Once I was fully wet I helped guide Lucifer under the running water and had him stand there under the water as his body and hair got wetter and wetter. Gently I moved him out of the shower and started to wash over his body. Rather than keep my touch soft which you would do when bathing a child I kept it firm and methodical. The way I was washing his body was like I was giving him a firm deep massage. In my mind this was helping him remain calm as it was like I was doing deep touch pressure. After each wash I rinsed him off his skin getting lighter and lighter. After 4 times of washing him and rinsing off I finally got him down to his natural skin colour. This light pale colour would of give Casper a run for his money. This could be his aversion to strong light, fear of going out due to the external stimuli or because his previous parents just didn't bother to take him out. The next thing I felt would be the hardest bit and that would be the mass of hair that he had. It looked to be black in colour and appears never to have been washed or even brushed in his life. Once again I had him stand under the water spray and focused the spray on getting his hair as wet as possible. I noticed that as the water was running through there was brown streaks running down his chest and back. I knew this would need washing again. I got him back out of the water and took a bottle of lavender conditioner. The next thing I did was cover his hair in as much of the conditioner as I could. I actually used the full bottle covering his head. What I needed to do next was distract him as I let the conditioner soften and start to untangle his hair. Sadly I knew it would need more than just this to fix. Whilst I was waiting for the conditioner to do its work I decided to have some fun. I stood to the side of the shower and flicked the water at Lucifer who jumped when the water hit him. He then started to watch me. I started to laugh and did it another few times. I saw the start of a smile on his face. He still didn't look at me directly but was starting to smile. I then moved him to the side of the water and moved away a little. He looked at me and the water. I laughed again and mimicked throwing the water. Lucifer looked at me then at the water. I saw his hand snake towards the water, then I saw the water flying towards me. When I felt it touch me I screamed like it burnt me. He jumped and I started to laugh. I mimicked doing it again. I watched as he did it again and I did the same reaction. He stopped and watched me again. Once again I mimicked the splashing. This time he completely understood and started continuously throwing the water to me and I screamed and ran away from the water. I stopped when I heard the strangest thing. Giggling. I turned around and got a face full of water to see Lucifer laughing at me. This continued for another 5 minutes before we stopped. I knew this next bit would be tough and I moved him back under the water to rinse the surface conditioner off his hair. Sadly the one thing I didn't count on was soap going into his eye. The scream that come out of him was like he was being murdered and he attacked me. Realising what I had done I got out of his line of attack and went to where I had a long shower cable and head attached. I got that whilst avoiding the screaming windmill intent on following me around. Once I got it at the temp I wanted I turned to Lucifer. I knew this would be unpleasant and if seen by outsiders it would look bad but I grabbed him and pinning him to the floor lay on top of him. I looked at his face and into his hazel eyes. Seeing the left was bloodshot I knew that was the eye to focus on. I grabbed the shower head and shielding his eyes I washed the soap off his face. Next I angled the shower head so the water flowed over his eye but not beat down on the eye itself. With my free hand I held his eye open this left me open to punches, and I got many. I ignored the hits I was getting and continued to wash out his eye. I then adjusted my body to be more comfortable and that was a wrong decision as his knee came up in a perfect nut shot. I bit my tongue to stop me swearing and calling out but continued as nothing has happened. I felt his movement lessen and I stopped the shower on his eyes. Getting up I got a cotton towel and wiped over his eyes. It still looked bloodshot but his cry's and fighting had stopped so I guess it wasn't as bad now. Me I was aching. I kept him lying down and used that position to rinse off the rest of the surface conditioner. It was becoming clear there was no way I was going to untangle it. I was going to have to cut it off. I went and got him a chair to sit in and helped him do that. I then went and got a pair of scissors. I showed him them and made a cut in the air to show what I was going to do. His hand shot out and the scissors went flying. Next I tried the shears but once turned on they went flying too. I was beginning to see why his hair was so bad if he hated his hair touched this bad. I wanted to get him over this but I knew it would take a lot of work. I had only one option left and it was a dangerous one. I got my cut throat razor. I showed him the razor and got no reaction. I kept it sheathed so it couldn't be used to hurt someone accidentally. When I got no reaction I showed him me running it down and up my arm. I still didn't get the blade out. I softly took his arm and watching him closely I ran it up and down his arm. I was happy to see no reaction. The next thing I did was show him me running it over my hair and brow. I then slowly did it to him and was pleased to see that it caused no reaction. I felt that if I was going to hack his matted bits off I would get a extremely negative reaction. Without him seeing I got the blade out and resting it on his hairline I started to rub it across the skin edging it under the hairline. I made a small pocket under his hair where I had separated it from the scalp. From there I widened the pocket softly moving it to one side and easing it over his head towards the ears. This once done created a flap of hair on his head. I put the blade back away and waited a little bit. I then moved back and slowly started to widen the flap of hair by separating it from the scalp after a little while I stopped again. I repeated this process slowly as I cut through his hair until I cut through the last bit and could remove it fully like a twisted wig. Looking over his head I then cut off and hairs that I missed resulting in Lucifer having no hair on his head. I felt it was the best way with him. To start again. I got him up and binned the hair. After putting away the blade I took him under the shower and give him a quick wash over. Once finished he started to splash me and giggling again. I decided to let him have some fun. I explained to him that he can do that for 2 minutes then we got to get dry. After a minute I let him know again how long was left. Again with 30, 10, and 5 seconds left as the shower room was filled with laughter. Finally the time come to stop and I let him know to which he stopped his actions but still giggled for a little while. After turning off the water I took a towel and patted him dry rather than rub him dry. After drying him and ignoring the fact he had developed a 2 inch erection I got myself dry. I got dressed and got a cotton pillow case and the cord from my bathrobe. Going back to Lucifer I made him a loincloth to wear and we both went back to the family room. Lucifer went straight back to his drawing. I sat down getting looks from everyone. "What?" I said and the computer translated for me. "What's with the hair and the new outfit Sean" Innocence said to me and again the computer translated. (When I'm with Lucifer, ash, and Luca the computer will always translate). "Well the haircut is simple there is no way I could untangle his hair without a lot of pain. Even then there would be tangles in his hair. With him hating scissors and shears the only way I could do it was to have him shaved using the cut throat razor. As for his clothes you saw how much he hated the ones he was wearing so it was either improvise or have him wear nothing." I said. Once I finished saying that we both noticed Lucifer was fidgeting with the cord on his loincloth. "Why don't you just let him go naked it seems like he would prefer that to what he has on." Innocence said. I looked at Innocence and shrugged. Going over to Lucifer I got where I could see him and explained what I was going to and I moved over to him and untied his cord. Taking the cord and pillowcase away I could see him visibly relax. I sat back down and saw Kareem and Kweli looking at me expectantly. I laughed and said "Guys it's not up to me. Ask ur mom" Both boys turned to Innocence and together went "Mooooooooooom" I burst out laughing at them and at Innocence's defeated looking face. "If you boys want to let it all hang out who am I to stop you. I mean I've seen them little worms before." She deadpanned back to the boys. Me I was laughing like crazy. Both boys then took of their clothes. I could see that luca wanted to say something but Ash was holding him back and hiding his groin from view. I sat back down with my computer and started to look up more stuff on autism and ways to alleviate their symptoms. As I was looking up this stuff Lucifer came over to me and handed me the picture I was shocked at what I saw. It looked like a photoshopped picture made to look like a artist drawing. That was not the only thing that shocked me. The picture was the outside of my house and had me running out of the door and appeared to be drawn from the perspective of someone in a car. It was then I realised that it was me going to Lucifer earlier in the day. I was really proud of my little artist. I passed it over to Innocence as I went to get something to put it on the wall. Lucifer watched me hang it with a smile and went back to drawing more. I was looking up stuff online and ordering stuff for Lucifer when I noticed the time. I decided to go and make us all lunch at that time. I was going to make us something plain and a little bland so there was a good chance that Lucifer would eat it. I thought a roast chicken and French fries. I put the chicken in and set a timer for when to put the French fries on and went back to sit down with the rest. I explained to Innocence that I would show her where the house was being built. It was now Lucifer stood up and handed me a new picture before running to the wall and pointing "here....here" "Oh My God!" I gasped after seeing the picture that was handed to me going so red in the process. Despite what was on the picture I couldn't take away that joy on his face to want the picture put up on the wall. I mean how could I refuse him. I put the picture face down next to me as I went to get stuff to use to put it up on the wall. As I left the room I heard Innocence laugh and say "you might as well come back naked Sean" I turned even redder. "Wow your big uncle Sean" Kareem's voice floated after me. "Wow!" Followed Kweli's voice. "Iaardrev!" Came the voice of Ash. The computer translated for me and I was not happy with what he said. Plus I will not repeat what he said. Getting what I needed I went and put the picture up on the wall. Again it was from the perspective of Lucifer and showed me washing him in the shower. Like before it was professional quality and showed everything. I mean everything. I was totally naked in it and the position I was in everything was on display. Likewise you could see me rubbing suds into his body all of lucifer was on display too. I was surprised at the detail of the picture but because of the picture before I was not shocked at the level of detail. I went and pinned it on the wall where Lucifer wanted and he practically skipped back to his drawing area. It was then I noticed that he was walking on his tiptoes as if he had a pair of invisible heels on. I heard the timer go off and went into the kitchen to put on the French fries. Getting the timer I came back in and set it for 20 minutes. "Lucifer when this counts down to nothing it will make a beeping noise and dinner will be ready. At this time I want you stop drawing and we can have our meal." I said and the computer translated. I sat back down and got into ordering what I needed from the internet. I got them on an express delivery to be delivered before 10am. It didn't take long for the alarm to go off causing everyone to jump and Lucifer who had already put his pencils down to cover his ears. I quickly shut it off and reassured him. It was then we all went to the dining room and me and Kareem served the dinners. I sat next to Lucifer and watched as he ate with his fingers. I knew it would take time to get him to be more socially acceptable but I decided to take things one step at a time and felt his hair was a big step forward. After the meal we relaxed in the tv room and Lucifer went back to his drawing. I could see he loved what he was doing and I could see the joy that comes from him when drawing. I was happy seeing how much that he was starting to relax. Again it was not long before he came with a new picture for me. This one showed me and him in the bathroom and me running away from the water. It was quite funny to see how I looked to him as I was doing it. Once again I put it up next to the other picture and everyone had a look and a laugh. I followed this up with giving information on people's bed times. It soon become time to take Lucifer and Luca to bed. I explained to Kweli that I was going to put lucifer next to me and move him a little further down as I wanted to be close in case he needed me. Kweli agreed immediately and I took the two youngest upstairs to bed. Firstly I took Lucifer to his room and showed him where my room was. I told them both that if they got scared, had a nightmare or anything to come and wake me up. I then tucked Lucifer into the bed. I give him a kiss on his head and took Luca to his bedroom. I give him some pjs from Kareem to wear but he opted for just underwear. "Luca will you be ok here? If you need anything just call out to Al and he will tell me to come to you." I said and Al translated for me. "Sean taw nav eid retsnom redno eid deb." (Sean, what about the monster under the bed.) Luca said to me. After a quick questioning I found out that Luca was scared that a monster was going to grab his feet and pull him out of the bed and hurt them eat him. I told him to wait a second. I went out and came back with a big throw over. I then took off the blanket. I had Luca lie down where he would naturally lie. Then I got the throw over and lay it on the bottom of the bed covering up to mid calf on his legs. I then held it in place and had him get up and off the bed slowly. I then showed him tucking the throw over tightly under the bottom of the mattress. I then tightly tucked up the sides of the throw over tightly under the mattress this secured the throw over tightly. I then explained how now if there was any monsters come they would no longer be able to reach up and pull him out of bed. I then asked if he wanted the lights to be left on but dulled down. I had the computer turn the lights down to 10% and checked if that was ok for him. He said it was and I helped him back into bed and put the blanket over him. Kissing his head I turned to leave. "Sean" he called out. "Yes" I replied with the computer translating. "Sean I'm sorry we lied to you but we can speak English too. I don't know why Ash don't want to trust you but I trust you now and if it's ok can I stay here. You didn't have to help us or Lucifer and you have been nothing but nice. I feel safe here. Please can I stay." Luca said nearly in tears. I turned around and quickly went back to the bed. Sitting on the edge I stroked his dark brown curly hair. Looking into his hazel eyes I replied, "Luca, I already know u both could speak English. Also if I didn't want you both here then I wouldn't have you here. I also wouldn't give you these" I tapped the watch on his wrist. "The only issues I had would be whether or not you wanted to stay. Now if and that's a big if, Ash wants to leave he can but he would always be welcome here to see you if you decided to stay here. It's all up to you. But yes I want you here." I bent over and give him another kiss before leaving the bedroom. Before going back downstairs I checked on Lucifer and found him looking a little stressed. I went to the closet and got out a heavy but thin throw over. Going back into the room I began to see the challenges that we were going to endure as we grow as a family. I went over to the bed and lay the throw over the bed and saw Lucifer calm a little as the weight took hold of him. Once I saw that I leant over and kissed his brow telling him I loved him. It was now I managed to go downstairs and went and sat down. Despite relaxing I was seriously thinking about things and the future. "Sean, Sean, Ash was saying how luca sleeps and that he can't sleep alone. He said that he expects Luca to be back down stairs in a matter of minutes scared." Innocence said to me. "Oh I don't think that will happen." I said back with the computer translating for me. I picked up the computer and logged into my A.I. App on it. "Mokeoh?" (Why?) Ash asked a little panicked. It was now I locked the door to the tv and turned off the translation command. I also displayed a video of both Luca and Lucifers room. If Ash was going to play me, well I was going to play back and play hard. "He won't be getting up tonight because I strapped his naked ass to the bed he can't move from it until someone releases him." I said calmly with a straight face. This time the computer did not translate for me but still had the desired result. Ash bolted for the door as Innocence and her family looked at me with open mouths. I pressed a button and the 2 cameras where displayed on tv behind a manic Ash who was trying hard get out of the room. I nodded to Innocence to Ash and to the TV and she realised what I had done. "Taal ym tiu uoj nekkof trevrep yj nok sno ein reih uoh ke naag nekkof uoj kaamdood. Taal ym nekkof. Ke liw uon reorb nein." Ash said to me in anger and the computer translated in front of me again I will not translate the language he said. "Ash, I know you can understand me and talk English as you reacted to what I said. Now if you sit down we can have a proper conversation. Then I will let you out and if you then want to go see Luca but he is safe and actually asleep." I said calmly to him. What I didn't expect was him to launch himself at me and start to hit and kick me. All along he was calling me names like pervert. He managed to get in a few good shots and I guess I was going to have a nice black eye tomorrow. I managed to grab him and pin his arms to his side. I then sat with him struggling on my knee and with my legs I pinned his to the sofa. It was a good 5 minutes before his spirit broke and he calmed down. All I could think was this guy could give Lucifer a run for his money in the Tantrum department. I felt the fight go out of him so I let go of him. As I saw him stand up I could see tears streaming down his face and his actions were robotic. We watched stunned as he went to the table in the middle of the room. He dropped the trousers and boxers he had on and I could see his pink and purple hole slightly dilated. "Sean I give up just fuck me now and get it over and done with. Just please don't fuck Luca, I've done whatever it took not to let this happen to him." He said distantly and it sounded like a well rehearsed statement. "Ash" I said but got no response. "Ash... Ash.. ASH." I shouted finally breaking through the wall he put up. When he responded I continued, "Turn around and sit down. Sorry Innocence for what ur about to see." With all eyes on me I stood up and took off my trousers and underwear. Standing where they all could see I said, "Ash look at me. You where sitting rubbing your ass against me for 10 minutes, I've had Lucifer, Kweli and Kareem naked most the afternoon and as you can clearly see I'm not hard and I'm not in the mood for sex." I watched as his eyes filled with more tears. I lent over him and pulling him to his feet I softly dressed him. I did however notice he had a erection and when he realised that I had seen it he began to blush. Leaning closer I whispered "It's our secret." Then I got myself dressed and picking up Ash I sat down with him on my knee, pointing to the TV I said "Ash look at who they are" his face lit up when he saw his brother and Lucifer asleep and that Luca was not tied up. I pressed a few buttons on the computer and the TV went blank and the door unlocked. "Why? Am I not good enough for you?" Ash asked me "and how did you get Luca to sleep like that. No one has got him to sleep alone since our parents." "Come on Ash lets go somewhere to talk and do you still want to go to Luca? Also boys your bedtime in 30 minutes. Kweli I will fetch you some clothes in the morning and move them all into the room later tomorrow." I said. Ash shook his head at the mention of Luca. Taking Ash by the hand I led him through the house and out of the back door. We walked over to the pool and I sat down and dangled my legs into the water. Ash looked at me as if I was crazy as the water was slowly creeping up the legs of my trousers. "They are just clothes Ash. They will get dry again. Even if they get ruined look around you don't you think I can't afford a new pair?" I said laughing. Ash looked around and shaking his head said "Guess so." I patted next to me, and Ash come and sat next to me. He also placed his legs in the water. "I would like to live in a house like this as I miss swimming." "So you and Luca can swim" I asked and he nodded at me, "ok cool. I don't know why you couldn't stay here." I held up my hand stopping him from talking. "I don't care what you have said or done with me at all and I don't want to know about your past unless you want to tell me. I do think we will have to go see a doctor about some of the stuff you have had to do to survive. Also I don't care if you are gay, straight or bi, I only say this because I think you know what you are and to be honest I don't care. Luca has asked to stay here and if you want to then your welcome to stay too." I finished saying. I felt a pressure on my arm and moved it so he could cuddle into me and I placed my arm around him. As I felt him start to shake as he was crying and turning back into the boy he should be. I picked him up and put him on my knee, I felt his arms wrap around me and take me in a vice like grip. His head went on my shoulder and he cried his heart out. I could hear him sniffling so I knew that it would be covered in tears and boy snots. I'd probably have to burn my top when we get done with this. He continued getting it out of his system for another 5 minutes before he started to quieten down and moved his head to my other shoulder as we sat quietly for another 5 minutes. I wanted him to make the first move. "Sean, I'm sorry I messed up your top and I think I got you all wet, I think I'm ready to go in now. Thank you" "Ash you got that much snot on my top I'll have to burn it. Don't worry I'll get u back for getting me wet." I replied as we stood up. "Sean I'm so sorry I will find a way to pay you back for the top. Please don't be mad." "Ash I'm not mad at all. It only needs cleaning and I'll show you how to do it so there it's fixed. We are ok" I said as I pulled him in for a hug. "However I need to get you back for getting me wet." I said as I pushed him backwards into the pool. Once I knew he was ok I turned and ran to the house and inside. Once inside of the house I took off all my wet clothes and grabbing two towels I quickly dried myself off. I held a towel and waited for a dripping Ash to get into the house. Once he arrived laughing I told him to get off the wet clothes and was surprised that he did it in front of me. I guess that our talk had broke down some barriers and that he had put up against me. I wrapped the towel around him and showed him how to put on the washer. Turning to him I said "there you go, you have fixed my clothes." We both walked through the house laughing at stupid stuff as I took him to his bedroom and he dropped his towel and climbed into bed. "Ash do you want to do something for me?" I asked. "Sure Sean what is it?" I leant very close to and whispered into his ear very softly. "Really are you serious?" When I nodded my head he continued "Al lock down!" I could see his surprise when the windows and main doors started to lock themselves. I could see the pride in his eyes when he saw that I had trusted him enough to give him a house command. "That is so cool I wish I could do something like that" he said. "Ash you can do anything you want to and if you want to stay here, when ur staying permanently I will have some control chips implanted in you boys so the house recognises you as living here and not a visitor." I said speaking my mind. "Sean if it's ok with you can me and luca stay, also can u teach me about lucifer and what's wrong with him." He said curiously. "Ash yes you can stay as for the other we can talk about it tomorrow. Is that ok?" I said. As he agreed I got up and walked to the door. I told him how to reach me if he needed me during the night. Leaving the room I went back into the tv room and sent the other boys to bed. Me and Innocence finished the day relaxing and watching tv. I couldn't believe the change that the day had taken and I knew the battle with Ash wouldn't be over and the fight I would have to get the best for Lucifer. It was not long before we were both ready for bed. I took Innocence to the lift and to her room before checking on all the boys before climbing into bed myself and let sleep overtake me. I felt eyes on me. I opened my eyes to see Lucifer's naked body standing at the edge of my bed looking at me. I sat up and asked what was wrong. But I got nothing in return. I got out of bed and took him to the toilet. He didn't need to go but after some time he managed to pee. He then followed me back to my bedroom. It was now I noticed the time. I decided I wanted to show him something so I picked him up and took him to the window. At half 5 in the morning the sun was starting to rise and I was going to share this with Lucifer. But first I pointed out a star. The brightest star. "Lucifer I know you don't like your name I see the way you react to it. But can you see that star I'm pointing to. The brightest one?" I felt him squeeze me a little in response. "That star there is called the morning star. Another name for it that it was known for is Lucifer." I saw and felt his head whip around to look at me. I left my curtains open so we can watch the sun rise. I took him and we sat on my bed. "Lucifer is not a bad thing, it means bringer of light. People lost at night and sailors where always happy to see Lucifer as it meant that the day was coming and so was the bright light. You see this star always appears before the light. So you can say when you see Lucifer it brings light into your life." I could see Lucifer flicking his eyes between me and the star. "Lucifer that star you see is really a planet and the planet is called Venus after the Roman Goddess of love. So you can say Lucifer brings light and love. Now come sit on my knee and watch this." Lucifer moved onto my knee and I wrapped my arms around him. We both watched as the sun peeked over the horizon and edged its way higher creating more light until Lucifer and the other stars were consumed by its light. "Lucifer, watching a sunrise and sunset is a special thing and I will show you the other. But for now let's get into my bed and sleep for a few more hours and then we will get up." We both got into bed and Lucifer snuggled into me as we fell asleep. I woke up with the feeling of love surrounding me as I was in the middle of a sandwich. To my left it looked like luca was lying pressed against my side with his head on my shoulder and my arm down his back. My hand was cupping his ass and it felt like he was drooling a little on my chest. His soft regular breathing suggested he was deeply asleep. To my right was my little morning star. Lucifer was lying with his butt pressed against my hip and his head on my shoulder. He had his arms around mine and was pulling my arm into his chest. I then noticed my hand was cupping his groin and his morning stiffy was sticking out between my fingers. I gently extracted myself from under the boys and got out of bed. I did my daily routine and went down stairs into the kitchen. I was busy making breakfast for everyone when the doorbell rang for the first time today. It was one delivery guy with 4 of the packages that I had ordered. I grabbed a drink and started to open them. The first box had in it 7 sets of swimming goggles for the boys to use swimming and 2 for Luca and Lucifer to wear whilst getting washed. The next box was about the same size I opened it and pulled out a nice pair of sound cancelling headphones, I knew these would come in handy when we are not in the house and doing things like shopping and travelling. The smallest box was next and in it was a set of P.E.C.S. cards and I knew these would be used until Lucifer could talk otherwise it's a tool he would use for the rest of his life so I knew these would be valuable to Lucifer and his life and for where he is now would be a life changer. The final box was the most important to me and I paid extra to get it here for today. In it was a cotton t-shirt that was specially made for people with autism. The company that made it is called Tjacket (https://www.mytjacket.com). This is a special designed top that monitors "arousal" levels in the person. For people with ADHD and autism "arousal" is denoted as when they are becoming agitated. This allows the caregiver to see if the person was going to have a "episode" and can monitor areas of high stress. This then allows the caregiver using a app to apply deep touch therapy using air pressure and air pads in the tshirt itself to calm and relax the person down. The amount of pressure can also be controlled by the app to tailor it to individual person. I was putting all the rubbish in the bin when I heard a set of running feet heading in my direction. "Sean.... Sean..... Please help me I can't find Luca. I can't lose him please help me find him. I can't protect him if I can't find him." A crying Ash came flying into the room. I placed a cloth on the unit. Picking his naked body up I give him a cuddle and say him down on the cloth covered unit. "Ash calm down. As long as you boys are here and wearing them watches you guys won't ever be lost." I could see confusion and hope in his eyes. "Ash have you noticed the doors opening as you get close to them." He nodded, "the watches have trackers in them so the computer can find you in the house and help guide you when you need to, but also it allows the watch to be tracked to any location in the world. All you have to do is ask." I used one of the invoices and wrote some for Ash. "Al show me Luca please" he said adding the please on the end. I was happy he was being polite, even to the computer. I laughed as my bed popped on the tv to show Luca and Lucifer lying together practically hugging and barely covered by the blanket. I lent over and wrote something else on the paper. "Direct me to Luca please." Ash said. He then looked confused as nothing happened. I pointed to his watch and his eyes lit up when he saw the arrow pointing where to go. "Ash can you go get everyone up, knock on Innocence door first please. Also can you tell all but Lucifer to get dressed and meet me back here. That includes your cute butt. Oh are u ok now?" I said as I got a damp cloth and washed the tears from his face. He happily nodded. "Let's keep what happened this morning between us." He launched himself off the unit and luckily I caught him as he give me a massive bear hug before leaving the room. I noticed the TV was still on and I watched as a naked Ash entered my room and softly woke up the two sleeping boys. He then told Luca to get dressed and both of them to meet me in the kitchen. I watched as they left and Ash began to make my bed before I had the computer turn off the image on TV. It didn't take long for Lucifer to find me. After asking and receiving a nod I lifted Lucifer onto the unit that Ash had been sitting on moments before. However unlike Ash, Lucifer was looking at everything but me. "Lucifer I have got you some stuff to help you out. I want to help you be the best person that you can be in the future. I will make some mistakes in trying to get it all right. Like yesterday when washing your hair I got some stuff in your eyes that's why I got you these." I handed over the swimming goggles for him to look at and feel and of them. I picked up a pair and put them on my eyes. Lucifer saw what I did and mimicked me. "Next one Lucifer is these." I handed over the headphones for him to hold and get used to. "Lucifer these are for you to use when we go out of the house. As we are going out later we will be using these. Also as we have to go out I will need you to wear some of the clothes you don't like for a little while. If you can do that for me then we can get you some better clothes." I heard and felt that I had company but I was still focusing on Lucifer. I felt the person hug me and from the size I could tell it was Luca. Just then the doorbell rang again. "Luca can u get the door for me and tell me how many parcels come?" I heard him say yes and scamper out of the door. I held my hand out to Lucifer and asked for the headphones and goggles back and was happy to see he handed them back without a fuss. I picked up the Tjacket and give it to Lucifer. "Lucifer this is a special top for you to wear it will help when you start to get stressed out and need a cuddle." I said to him as he was cuddling the top and rubbing it on his face contently. I picked up the PECS cards and handed them over to Lucifer. "These will help us understand what you want Lucifer, right now I know you understand us but we are finding it hard to understand as you as you don't talk to us. So you can use these as a way to help us know what you want, but I want you to say what it is as well in both languages." I said to him. "Sean there was 3 parcels" Luca said coming back into the room followed by the others. I felt my arm being touched and looked at Lucifer holding out one of the cards and could see it had food on it. "Lunch etegaddim" He said. I smiled said well done and lifted him into the table chair and set out some pancakes and some sausage and bacon. I helped the boys load up on theirs and we all ate breakfast in silence. After breakfast I cleaned up Lucifer and Luca before placing the Tjacket on Lucifer and sending Luca to put on a new tshirt. I also asked Kareem and Ash to clean up the kitchen as I went and helped Lucifer get dressed. Once we were all dressed and ready I took Ash, Luca and Lucifer to the car letting Innocence know she could spend the morning with her boys. As I started to leave I saw the builders and had another idea. Running over to the Forman I laid out my plans for a special little building next to my house for Lucifer to use. The Forman acknowledged my idea and called over some of his team to make start on my idea. I got into the car and took my boys out of the grounds and drove down into town and the mall where I took my other two boys. Pulling up at the car park in the mall I could see that lucifer was starting to get a little uncomfortable and I kicked myself for not thinking about putting the headphones on him earlier. Getting out I opened the door and gentilly placed them on him covering his ears from the sounds. I could see him again start to relax. The other 2 where waiting for me next to the car. I held my hand out for Lucifer and told the others to do the same as I didn't want any lost bodies. After watching the brothers take each other's hands and seeing my outstretched hand Lucifer places his small hand in mine. I lead them through the mall on a direct course to where I had done the clothes shopping before. Before I went in I told the brothers exactly what I wanted them to get and that I wanted to focus on Lucifer and getting him what he needed. I advised them just to fetch back the stuff to me. I said if you do one item of clothing at a time then they won't get confused. Seeing lucifer was getting agitated I used the app to activate the Tjacket. As it had 5 pressure settings I started off on the lowest one and a few minutes later saw him calm down when I activated the 3 setting. This seemed to be the best setting for him to calm him. Knowing all of Lucifer's sizes and since he didn't care what he looked like then it meant that I could just get him the clothes that I thought would suit him and make him look good. I went around pretty quickly getting all the clothes I wanted for him as well as some sandals for him to wear. All of his clothes that I got where made solely of cotton and his trousers and shorts I got baggy with elastic waistbands. These I thought would be the best for him to feel comfortable and content with. I went to the cashier and asked if I could put Lucifer in some of the new clothes as it could relax him even further. Having seen the way I reacted with the security guard and not wanting to follow suit as well as me offering to leave my credit card at the till she allowed me. I took him into the changing room and took in a pair of shorts and a t shirt. I then took off his nylon tshirt leaving on the Tjacket and placed on him a soft white T Shirt. Next I took off his trousers and underwear before placing on him his new baggy white shorts. Finally before leaving the room I took off his socks before placing his shoes back on. As he seemed more relaxed and content I deflated the Tjacket and took the tags off his clothes. I put his old clothes in the bottom of the trolley and we left the changing rooms to see the brothers waiting with arms full of clothes. I was happy to see they had finished and that they seemed happy. I had the cashier ring through all the clothes starting with the tags I had took off Lucifers clothes. We packed them all in bags and put them in the trolley. Next it was haircuts for the two brothers as Lucifer was sheared as short as possible. I sat with Lucifer as we watched first Ash then Luca got their haircut in a design of their choosing. Whilst both boys were being cut Lucifer was watching what was happening. This give me a idea. After talking to the barber we stopped everything and turned off the radio. I took off his headphones and described what I wanted to happen telling him it won't hurt and he is safe. I also turned on his Tjacket to help keep his stress levels down. Sitting him in the chair the barber pretended to cut his hair with scissors and then the sheers, not actually touching him but close enough that he could hear and feel it. I could see he was getting stressed but he didn't react. After a minute he was done and I lifted out telling him how good he was. Seeing his eyes light up was amazing and I put his headphones back on. As I was paying for the haircuts and I included Lucifer in with that as he was helping Lucifer relearn getting haircuts, I felt my arm being tugged and Lucifer handed me a card with the toilet on. "Toilet teliot" he said. I asked where the closest toilets where and the barber said I could use their toilet again I had a idea and took Luca with me. I asked if Lucifer needed to pee by saying "Toilet" and pointing to the front and then said "Toilet" and pointed to my bottom. Lucifer understanding pointed to his front. I asked Luca to show him what to do and watched as Luca fished his penis out of his trousers and peed into the toilet. After watching him Lucifer did exactly the same. Again I told Lucifer how proud I was of him and the kid looked like he was walking on the air. I then had a feeling he had never been praised in his short life. I then realised I left the Tjacket turned on and turned it off. After washing their hands we all left the bathroom and with a thank you we left the shop. I told them I wanted to pop into another shop and I took them into the electrical shop. I told the shop worker quietly what I wanted exactly and he seeing the commission from this sale practically skipped away and came back 10 minutes later with my items already placed in bags for me as I requested. I paid for them and we all left the shop and mall with our hands packed full of bags. On the drive back I made a detour and collected us some pizzas. When I arrived back home I took off Lucifer's shoes, T shirt and Tjacket before we sat down to eat and I was right to do so as Lucifer needed a chest and face clean up, Luca needed a face clean. All of us needed hands washing but it was fun. After we had a bit of a rest I separated the bags out into 4 piles and sent Luca with his and Kweli to supervise him as he put away his clothes. I sent Ash to his room with his pile to put them away. I asked Kareem to put away Lucifers and he agreed and took the and left. I got lucifer dressed and took him with me outside after collecting the 3 boxes from the hallway. Outside I unwrapped the biggest which was a child size easel. I stood that up facing the house that was being built. The next package contained 3 canvases to which I placed one in a landscape position on the easel. The last box contained a nice box full of all a budding artist needed to do the best they could. I set it down next to the easel. "Lucifer these are all for you. I wondered if you could do a drawing or painting of the house being built as a present for Innocence." Lucifer looked at me then the house then the easel and picking up a pencil started to draw. "I'm going back in Lucifer come back in when your finished." I said but I don't think he heard me. I collected the rubbish and what needed to be taken back into the house. After depositing the rubbish in the bin I went back into the house myself and met Innocence in the family room. I got my computer and after making sure you couldn't see what Lucifer was looking at or the picture he was creating I placed the feed on the TV so I could watch him to make sure he was safe. I then got out the two computers and laptops I had bought. Abet one of each where the very basic child versions of them and proceeded in setting them up whilst Innocence spoke to me about what she and the boys did and talked about whilst I was out with the others. Once I had set everything up the way I wanted them with access to Al and the parental locks on it I wanted as well as putting all numbers in the phones I hid them away and relaxes into talking to Innocence as we compared our days so far whilst watching Lucifer. I then had a idea and grabbed my laptop I also added a stress level feed to the bottom of the screen so I could monitor that too. As he had on his headphones I knew the noise wouldn't stress him. We were watching and talking when the TV displayed a smaller window showing a car driving up to the house and Caroline getting out of the car. I got up and met her at the door. Fetching her into the house and into the TV room she sat down before saying "I come here to tell you about the boys. I see that you are already not being in the same room as Lucifer." "Actually Lucifer is away doing something that he really likes doing. This I am actively encouraging." I replied. I had to bite my tongue as she scoffed at what I said. "Ok I will start with Lucifer. He was born still in his embryo sack. As he is from a superstitious area we think this is where his name come from. We believe that because of his birth and name the community pretty much shunned him. We also believed that because he's not normal he was neglected. He came to our attention when he was being subjected to a very bad exorcism. From there he was moved from career to career as no one could handle him and his tantrums and the fact he is too stupid to do anything or learn anything." She told me as a matter of fact. I was furious at her. "Lucifer is not stupid at all neither is he possessed. Ok I understand that he was born en-cual and that is a super rare thing and people are superstitious about that. However, the people including you who have wrote him off as being unmanageable and stupid is just plain wrong. Lucifer to which they got his name wrong the idiots, seems to be a very intelligent boy with a unbelievable talent for art. Moving him from one place to another and another was not helping him or the foster parents. What should of happened is they received support to help do the best for Lucifer and the way you talk about him you have give up on him and that makes me furious." I then noticed Lucifer was missing from the TV. The door opened and Lucifer walked in barefooted and come over to me. He handed me a PECS card said "Toilet teliot" I excused us and took Lucifer to the to the toilet. As Lucifer needed to pee he was able to go how Luca showed him earlier in the day. Afterwards Lucifer went back to the drawing and I went back to Caroline. "So who was that? You find another stray?" Caroline asked. "That was the useless stupid boy you call Lucifer" I replied smugly. "How on earth did you get him to talk, cut his hair, wear clothes?" She asked. "Honestly I listened to him and understood his condition and didn't prejudge him. Let's start with the clothes. Like you said he didn't like clothes. From what I understand with a hypersensitivity to touch clothes can be painful to the wear. For example jeans can feel like sandpaper to wear. So when I first met him I wrapped him in a cotton sheet. As he relaxed with that I thought cotton feels ok to him. Therefore I got him only cotton clothes and baggy clothes so they don't put stress on his body. Next when I was showering him I showed him what I was doing and made it fun. The kid likes water. Like with his clothes people on the spectrum can be sensitive to strong smells so I found one that he felt comfortable with. I used that to wash him. With the haircut I again tested out what he was comfortable with and I believe with the matted hair was the issue with getting it cut as it was hurting him to cut. Therefore, I used a cut throat razor to gently work under the hair and cut it all off in one. Now as his hair grows back I can keep it untangled and he will get used to it being cut. All it takes is calming tender baby steps. As for the talking I got the P.E.C.S. cards as a method to communicate with him as I didn't know if he could talk or if he ever would therefore the cards where essential for learning to understand him and reducing his frustrations. As well as that I bought him a Tjacket that monitors his arousal level and allows me to create pressure to calm him down before he has a melt down." I said "Sorry, AROUSAL levels? Children that young can not become aroused and why you talking about a 5 year old in a sexual manner?" She snapped back. "Really your going to go there? Ok according to the dictionary arousal has 3 meanings, 1, to stir action or strong response. 2, to stimulate sexually. 3, to awaken or to wake up. Does any of them sound like when Lucifer have a episode? Next, Innocence how young was the first time you noticed the boys getting hard?" I asked her. "Strangely both boys would get hard when they were getting their diapers changed and still have erections first thing in the morning" Innocence replied "Fine but I will be watching you very carefully in the future" she said back and I was filing away the information. "Ok now about Ash and Luca. The mother died of a drugs overdose from which their dad supplied the drugs. As a result he was stripped of his rights as their father and placed in a loving foster home. Unable to cope they ran away and continued to run away from all foster homes placed in after that. They seem to have no desire to stay with anyone that we have placed them with. I believe that they are just being difficult and need someone with a firm hand to fetch them back into line and to keep them in the home." She continued. By now I was starting to get annoyed. "We you don't have to worry about the boys running away from here as both Ash and Luca have expressed their desire to stay with me here." I replied. "I bet they say that now and will run within a week. Anyway how did you get them to say that and understand them as they don't speak English in front of you. It's only been one night with them." She said back. "Firstly they do speak English to me now and I didn't get them to say it. Secondly Luca expressed the wish to stay when I listened to his fears and helped him see how to slowly overcome them. As for Ash I believed he wanted to stay when I started to show him trust and let him relax into being a boy again. I also believe that refusing to abuse him helped make his mind up to stay." I said calmly. "Excuse me are saying that Ash was abused by his previous foster parents?" She asked surprised. "I am saying at least one of his foster parents have abused him." I replied "I'm sorry but do you expect me to believe that the respected families I place children with abuses children. Anyway who told you that crap." She said back to me. "From Ash and unlike you I believe him and I'm not going to reject him over this." I said. At this point 4 boys walked in the open door. I had not realised I didn't shut it as a result the boys heard what we talking about. "You.... You believe me? You still want me? You trust me?" Ash gushed at me as he shot into the room and onto the sofa next to me. It was now Lucifer come in holding the drawing "Look Look Look" he said as he passed over a beautiful picture of the house being built with the workers all over it. I was very impressed. "Lucifer that is beautiful and amazing. I want you to give it to Innocence as it's a present for her." I said full of pride. Lucifer then took it from me before walking over and giving it to Innocence. "Look. Present. You" he said handing in over before standing watching it. Innocence took the picture and looked at it. I could see the surprise in her face before she showed everyone to the chorus of wows from the boys and then said "Thank you Lucifer it is beautiful and when the house is built you can pick where it goes." "Come on you expect me to believe all this shit. My friends who I placed them liars with abused them and that was drawn by a 5 year old retard?" Caroline snapped at me. "Ok that's enough please leave this house right now. No one will talk to anyone like that in my house." I said "You can not do that as I am a worker for children's services and thus I am allowed to visit when I want. If I wanted to I could take all these boys from you and if you refused have you arrested for child abduction" she snapped back. "Caroline I would like to see you try to remove Kareem and Kweli from their mother. Also you don't have the paperwork to just take them unless they are in immediate danger with they are not. Finally if you don't leave now I will call the police and they will remove you." I said still calmly. "Fine I will get the paperwork and be back." She said getting up and stomping to the door with me escorting her all the way. Once she left I went to my office. In my office I got on the phone and called Caroline's superiors and arranged a visit for her boss to come out the following afternoon. We also agreed no action with Caroline's plans until the visit. Next I called my friend at the police and informed them what was going on and they said that until tomorrow they would not act on anything Caroline would do until tomorrow afternoon too. Finally I called the doctors and booked all 5 boys in for a physical too. This would be done first thing in the morning. I went back to the room to a silent room. I told them all not to worry as I had it all sorted out and would be finalised the next day. We decided to go out for something to eat and that was uneventful as it could be. Then I helped get them all bathed and into bed before taking to bed myself.
