My First Christmas

Part 4

From

Eric Murphey

I wake up and I know its early. I look at my phone and its 2:54 am. But I'm wide awake. I look over at Bo who has lifted his head from the bed to look at me.

"You know you have more beds than I do. Why do you sleep in mine?"
If he ever answered me I would have a heart attack. But, I do talk to him a lot. I get up and go pee. I make some coffee because I know I'm up for the day. It happens to me sometimes. I make some toast to go with the coffee. I'm looking at my phone and think Walmart is open all night. So I get dressed and go to get the boys bikes. I see what she said she is getting them. They are surprisingly put together for the same cost. Yay go me not having to put them together. I wouldn't have minded though. It might have actually been fun. I go through and pick up a few things I know the boys will like. I get some of those can cinnamon rolls. They aren't great. But they are nice, and the best part easy. I get a few other things and pay and get home by 5:30.

I take in the groceries and the gifts for the boys. I grab the key to the shed and get the bikes from the back of the Escalade and wheel them out there. I put the key in the lock and the damn thing is frozen. I sigh and think why don't I live somewhere warmer? Then I think because warmer places are mostly red states. I would rather not thank you very much. I walk back into the house and grab a bottle of hand sanitizer and go back out. I pour some in my hand and coat the key in it. It takes a couple of seconds but it unlocks. I push the bikes in, then shut and lock the door. I get back in and let out Bo who has decided its time to get up. Hes so lazy. I'm not complaining I'm in awe.

I look at the clock and its now 6 am. What the Hell am I going to do now?

I turn on the TV and find a Christmas show I haven't seen before. Which would be nearly all of them. Its called Elf. I watch and its stupid as shit. Funny in some parts but mostly just ridiculous. I turn off the TV and turn on my laptop to look at log splitters. To say they are expensive is an understatement. I'm not poor but I am cheap. I decide that my old ass can get some muscles for what they think these things are worth. Bo who is at my feet lets out a soft bark. I go to the door him following and we open it as they boys stop on the porch.

"Good morning guys. Bo let me know you were coming."
They come in the house and strip off their winter gear and I walk into the kitchen and turn on the stove.

"So how was you boys evening?" It was good. We watched another movie when we got home. Then mommy got home and we watched one with her." Kevin answers for them.

"Watch anything good?" I ask.

"Not really. What did you do last night?" Jake answers this time.

"I watched the two movies you boys suggested and they were good. I liked them a lot."

I get out the rolls and put them in the pan and into the oven. I get the boys some juice to get some vitamins in them.

We chat about just little stuff and when the rolls are done I pull them out and get them milk and then ice the rolls and give them each three. I don't really want one. OK I wanted one. But that's all. The boys got the rest gone in no time flat.

"So what are we gonna do today?" Jake asks me.

"Well, I was thinking about going to get the wood for the bridge and we start on that. But I was thinking of doing that because I was going to get a log splitter, and with what they want for them I will do it myself. Well, with you boys help too."

"Cool, you are gonna let us help build the bridge?" Jake asks.

"Sure, that way you can learn how to build some things too. Its always a good skill to have."
"Be neat to build stuff too." Kevin answers.

"It is. You know lets do that first. Then we can get the rest of the wood. This way it will be easier to get across and I wont soak you guys again."
They giggle at my mentioning my mishap.

"Lets go get some measurements and then we will know what we need."
"Maybe you will." Jake says.

"Ah its easy to figure I will teach you."
"Cool."
So that's what we do. It takes about an hour to get everything figured out and we head to the lumber yard. I called and told them what I wanted and they said they would have it ready. I guess they do that. I had no idea. I was just calling to see prices and if they had everything.
We get there and we get it loaded onto the trailer I put on the Truck. I'm sure it would have fit. But I don't want it in the vehicle. I know then why get it? Because I like it silly. I don't need a reason. After I get it paid for and we are getting back into the truck my phone rings and I see its their mom. I smile and answer it.

"How are you this morning?"
"I've had better days. First I need to say I'm OK."
"Alright?" I answer slowly. "Care to elaborate?"
"I'm at the hospital. I was hit on the way to work. Idiot ran a stop sign and totaled my car."
"But you are OK?"
"Yeah pretty much. I broke my damn arm. I hit my head pretty good and they want to keep me overnight for observation. So I know its asking a lot. But, will you keep the boys tonight. I know they would be fine on their own. But, I just don't like the idea of that."
"Of course I will. We are at the hardware store and will be there in say 5 minutes."
"You don't have to do that."
"I think I do. Because not knowing and not seeing is bad. Its best they see and then know its all good. Did that even make sense?"
"Yes it did and you are probably right."
"See you shortly." I tell her and we end the call.

"Who are we going to see?" Kevin asks.

What do I say without freaking them out? I think a few seconds.

"That was your mom on the phone. She was in an accident. Since you now it was her that called you know shes OK. But we are going to go see her for a while. She has to stay overnight and she asked if you two could stay with me tonight. Is that OK with you boys?"
"Shes OK?" Jake asks.

"For really OK?" Kevin asks.

"She is for real OK. That's why we are going to see her. SO you both can see with your own pretty little eyes that shes OK."

They both nod and have scared looks on their faces.

We get to the hospital and i have to park eighteen miles away because of the trailer. We walk into the emergency room and both boys have been holding my hands since we got out of the truck.

"We would like to see Tina Morrison please." I tell the lady at the desk.

"Are you family?" she asks. She looks like a by the rules person.

"Yes I am, and these are her sons."

"What relationship to her are you?"
In anger I look at her.

"I'm her father if its your business."

"Are they gonna let us see her grandpa?" Kevin asks with sad eyes.

"Yes they are." I say and look back at the lady and if looks could kill that would be one dead bitch.

"Right this way sir. Your daughter is right back here."

She goes behind a curtain and I hear her tell Tina.

"Your father and sons are here."
"Oh well that's nice." Tina responds.

The lady opens the curtain.

"Thanks for bringing the boys down dad. I appreciate it." She says smiling at me.

"We were in the neighborhood."
while we joust back and forth the boys are at her side one holding her hand the other rubbing her arm.

"You sure you're OK mom?" Jake asks.

"Yes honey I'm sure. Going to suck working with a broken arm. But Ill be just fine." She says grinning at them.

We sit and visit a little while until Tina runs us off. She said the boys need to do something other than sitting there talking to her all day.

By the time we leave its lunch time. I think McDonald's but we had hamburgers yesterday. There is a Taco Bell KFC combo I think will be better Gives the boys more choices.

I pull in and they boys look at me funny.
"What aren't you guys hungry?"
"Sure but we cant spend no money.'
"I didn't ask you to. I'm buying. But I'm just curious. Why cant you spend any money?"
"Cuz Jake and me are getting mom another present."
"That's nice what are you getting her?" Jake pulls out some papers from his pocket and hands it to me. I look at it and smile.

"We was gonna ask you if you could write a check for us and mail it." Jake informs me.

"I tell you what buddy. We will do better than that. We will go over and do it while we are in town."
"Cool!!!" I get from both of them.

"Now lets go get something to eat."
They both take my hands as we walk across the parking lot to go in.

"What are you getting Grandpa?" Kevin asks me giggling.

Jake and I cant help but chuckle at his humor.

"I think I'm going to get the three soft tacos. What are you thinking?"
"I was thinking the same thing." he tells me with a smile.

"Alright. Jake what would you like?"
"I want some fried chicken. Can I get a two piece?"
"Buddy if you want a bucket of chicken to eat Ill get it. That's what grandpas do." I tell him and grin. He giggles.

"No I just want a two piece. Can I get both breasts?"
"Sure can." I place our order and hand the cups to the boys.

"Go get the drinks, and find a table. I want a Mt. Dew."
They scurry off on their task and I wait patiently for our order. It gets up and I take it for us to eat.

The boys make it through lunch without incident. Me not so much. A person would think that two boys would make a mess not an old man. Half my taco filling fell out and I tried to catch it with my hand hit my cup and knocked it over. Thankfully the lid didn't pop off so it only made a little mess. I look at the boys and Jake says.

"We cant take you anywhere." With a straight face.

I cant help but laugh and they do as well.

Other than that lunch was uneventful. We head to where I said I would take them. We get in a line. Its pretty short and soon we are next.

"What can I help you with sir?" The lady asks me.

"Its the boys that have business here."
"Oh what can I do for you two cuties?" She asks.

They both blush I think Jake more than Kevin because shes a very pretty young lady.

"We come to pay this lectric bill for our mom for Christmas." He says holding up the bill and the cash to her.

She grins.

"That's so sweet. I bet shes going to love it." She tells them grinning the entire time.

She punches it into the computer and the receipt prints and she staples it to the bill and stamps paid on it.

"Hold on a second you two." She tells them holding up a finger to them and races off. She comes back a moment later. She picks up the bill and attaches a bow to it.
"Whats a present without a bow?" she says grinning at them. "I also got you both some fudge I made at home for Christmas to share here at work. I got you boys and your grandpa one too." She says smiling at them.

"Gee thanks." Kevin says taking the offered fudge.

"Yes thank you." I tell her.

"Its just so sweet is all. I hope you boys get everything you want for Christmas."
"We already got it."
"Whats that?" She asks with curiosity.

"To spend time with out Grandpa Randy of course." Kevin answers.

I just roll my eyes at them and we take our leave. Her waving at the boys until we were out the door.

We head back to the house enjoying a piece of fudge on the way. The girl should sell it is all I'm saying about it.

When we get back I back as close to the area as I dare with the snow on the ground. Granted I know how to get a car out of the snow. I would just rather not do that if it can be avoided. The boys and I make quick work of unloading all the lumber and things we will need for the bridge. I drive back up to the house and they walk up. I unhook the trailer and put it where it lives. The boys and I go in and are attacked by Bo.

Dogs I swear you leave and they must think you are never coming back or something. I go get the mail and am gone 5 minutes. If Bo doesn't go I get back and he acts like I've been gone for years. But its nice to know you are loved that much.

"Can I take a shower? I got all sweaty moving that stuff." Kevin asks me.

"Why don't we do this instead. We go over to your house and you get some clothes for tomorrow and whatever you sleep in and maybe some games and things you boys can play. Then we come back and then you can shower if you still want to."

"OK." He agrees quickly.

The boys and I load up and go to their place. I just wait int eh truck because they said it wouldn't take a minute. They both come out with two bags of stuff each. I'm thinking what the Hell do they have in there? But, I just open the back of the truck and help them load it in. When we get back the boys decide they don't feel as icky and decide to just take a shower after supper and just get ready for bed then. I agree it makes sense if that's what they want to do. We decide to watch a Christmas movie. Its the animated Disney version of Scrooge. Its pretty funny. We laugh and enjoy it. I liked it so much that I picked a movie I saw forever ago at the theater. Shrek. We are watching and having a good time or so I thought. But, as its playing Kevin starts crying. Not crying but more racking sobs. Hes on my lap and I'm at a loss as to why hes crying. Shrek is funny. Hes on my lap and I of course pull him into a hug. Jake notices the situation and pauses the movie.

"Daddy?" Jake asks.

Kevin nods his head against my now wet chest.
It takes a good ten minutes but Kevin calms down. Then Jack starts telling me about their dad.

"It happened last summer. Not this one but a year ago. But we was all happy. Daddy was a truck driver and he was gone a lot. But when he got home it was great. It was great with just mom home too. But we had a good dad. He was always as happy to see us as we were him. But he just dropped of his truck and was on his way home. Some drunk guy hit him and it killed him instantly momma said. We have all been pretty sad for a long time. Now, I think with you showing us love and being around a man again has kind of made us both think a lot about our dad lately. Then momma getting into a wreck scared us both real bad."
"I imagine with that in your life that it would be pretty upsetting with your mother being in an accident. But, you both saw her and shes doing just fine."
"I know. But it just scared me a lot. I'm not a baby and cry all the time." Kevin says trying to defend himself.

"Shit buddy if I had a good dad and lost him like you guys. Then my mom got into a wreck I bet I would be crying too. Don't you worry about shedding some tears. Its how we let out our pain and fear. So don't you ever worry about crying around me. Tears help a person feel better. Since you have cried do you feel better?"
"Yeah kinda."
"Alright then. So no more of this talk about not being a baby. I'm not a baby and sometimes I need a good cry. I think everyone does."

He looks at me with his big brown eyes.

"So you don't think I'm a big baby?"
"No way would I ever think that. It sounds like you boys had a really great dad, and I know you have a great mom. It only seems right that you would be upset and need a good cry. I'm surprised it took so long to slip out."
He gives a little smile and puts his face back against my chest.

"You know what I think we deserve a treat for supper tonight. I got a frozen pizza we can have for supper. Have some soda and we can lay back and watch movies and eat junk food all night. I can even make some cookies for us. Hows that sound?" I ask the boys.

I'm greeted by two smiling faces.

"I know I should feed you boys healthier but once in a while its nice to just eat junk."
"Yeah it is." Jake agrees.

"I'm pretty hungry now. Are you boys ready to eat too?"
I feel Kevin's head nodding and see Jake's.

"Well, for goodness sake. If you boys are hungry you tell me. I don't want you being hungry That's silly when I got a kitchen packed full of stuff to eat. So heres what I'm thinking. We eat the pizza. You boys go ahead and shower and get ready for bed. I know its early yet but we aren't going anywhere else tonight. Then after we all get cleaned up we can make the cookies together so I can show you how easy it is."
Kevin pulls away from me and looks at me.

"That would be so cool." he answers with big eyes.

"Yes it will be. OK lets get the oven started and get the pizza in."
I get up slipping him to my side and go to the kitchen with both boys trailing me. I have a dog that seems to think hes getting a treat too. He isn't wrong. I get out the treats and give one to each boy to feed him. Bo is so excited hes wagging the back half of his body. Hes a goof ball. I love him despite it. Or, maybe because of it.

I get the oven on and pull out the pizza.

"You now when I lived in Syracuse there was this pizza place by the college that was so good. I think I will ask your mom if I can take you there one day. Its not too far away. But it is an hour drive."
"Wish we had a good pizza place here." Jake says.

"We sure could use one that's a fact." I agree.

"Its not that frozen pizza is bad. Its pretty good...." Kevin says trailing off.

"I agree buddy. Its not bad. But a fresh pizza is so much better."
We get some extra cheese added to the frozen thing and pop it in the oven. I hand the boys some plates and they set the table. They get us all a can of soda for all of us. I ask for a Coke and they both choose Fanta Grape. I like it and drink it about half the time. I like to mix up my drinks so they always taste fresh and nice. I noticed you tend to get used to a flavor and don't enjoy it as much if you drink the same thing all the time. So I mix it up for that reason. Or, maybe I'm weird. OK I probably am weird but not because of that.

Once it gets done the boys and I go to shower and get ready for bed. Granted its only six. But, like I said we aren't going anywhere else tonight and we did all get hot and sweaty moving the materials earlier. So it not as crazy as it sounds. I get in my shower and I let the water cascade over my body and enjoy the feelings of it. I think of the revelation of how their father died. I would have been thrilled if my father was killed when I was a boy. But, I didn't have a nice dad at all. What I had was a man that made me and regretted it everyday and let me know just that with his belt and his fists.

I push those awful memories from my mind and think about Jake and Kev. They are so wonderful and I think I now understand what the bible is talking about a man having a child late in life and the joy he feels from that child. Except they aren't mine. But I still fell the joy from them being around. I think about Kevin on my lap all afternoon and how hard my cock was until he started crying. I reach down and feel my cock and its tired I suppose as it just lays there. i contemplate having a jerk but decide against it. I get done with my shower towel off, and put on some sleeping pants and a t-shirt. I head out to the living room and Bo is doing his I need to go out dance. I let him go and he races off into the woods. I think he loves it here as much or more than I do. I felt bad living in a one bedroom apartment with him. But I owned the house so I kept control of the back yard for him. I would never let the property manager rent the other apartment to anyone with children one so that Bo could have the backyard and two I didn't want to be tempted by a cute boy that lived just downstairs. I worked too hard to lose it all for some cheap thrill. I sit down and wait for the boys to return. I'm scrolling through trying to find us something new to watch. I think the momentum of Shrek wore off when Kevin had his little melt down. I'm not upset with him for it. I meant what I said to him that sometimes we have to let the flood gates open and have a good cry.

I decide to just put on some Christmas music since we are going to e in the kitchen making cookies anyway. Kevin comes walking around the corner and much to my surprise he is buck naked. Much more to my surprise is Jake is right behind him wearing the same fashion.

"Aren't you going to put on some pajamas?"
"You said get ready for bed. So we did." Kevin informs me.

"You boys sleep naked?"

"Sure it feels good that way. Dad used to and so does momma." Kevin says.

I don't know what to say. Its a dream come true. But how the Hell am I going to hide my hard on all night? I certainly cant let Kevin sit on my lap. I may be able to avoid it if that doesn't happen.

"OK if you are fine with it. I am too. What kind of cookie is your favorite?"
"Peanut butter." They both say in unison.

"Then peanut butter it is then. First I need to get the recipe for it."

I pull out a cookbook and look at the recipe. I get all the ingredients out.

"I get everything out before I start to make sure I have everything. Once I started making something and didn't have something. I was mad at the time. But it was a good lesson because I haven't done it again."
They both nod at my statement and I get a stool for Kevin to stand on. I get the ingredients in the bowl and get them all mixed up. I make sure the oven is at the right temperature. I get out a cookie sheet and have Kevin make up six cookies and put them on the sheet. Then I have Jake do the same. That way they both helped and can have some pride in the cookies. Seems it always makes them taste better.

Jake starts singing Jingle Bells. But not the way they taught me.

"Jingle Bells, Batman smells. Robin laid an egg. The Bat mobile lost a wheel and the Joker got awaaay." He sings making Kevin giggle and me laugh too.

"They's kind of funny there buddy. Did you make it up?"
"No I heard some other boy sing it like that. I thought it was funny."
"It was." I agree.

"Hey Jake sing that song you sang last Christmas at the school holiday party."
He blushes.

"Grandpa Randy don't want to hear that." he tells him.

Grandpa Randy? HM? I like it. But, now I feel like more of a pervert seeing as how I have been admiring their young bodies on display in front of me. If I'm honest I'm ashamed of myself. These sweet innocent boys just loving me for spending time with them and I want to perv on them. I mentally slap myself.

"I want to hear it, if you want to sing it."
He starts singing Silent Night. I have heard it. I don't know it well. But I have heard it. He starts out and it sounds really good.

I stop what I'm doing and just watch him. When he gets done I smile and clap for him.

"It wasn't any good." he tells me.

"Yes it was. You're a good singer. I mean you aren't Joey Murphey but, you are pretty good."
"You now who Joey Murphey is?"
I'm a boy lover of course I know who that little cute boy is.

"I don't live under a rock. The boys songs are on everywhere. Hes really talented."
"And super cute too." Kevin adds.

"He is a cute boy for sure."
"Whats your favorite song by him?" Kevin asks. I'm not sure if he is curious or testing me. Either way I have an answer.

"Trans song. I think its so beautiful the way he sings about his love for his brother, and the fight he had to save his life. Its so touching to me. Makes me cry every time I hear it." I admit.

"It is a pretty song." Kevin agrees.

"Can we play a game?" Jake asks changing the subject as quickly as a politician or a little boy can do with ease.

"Sure what would you like to play?" Is my response.

"We brought some Uno cards and Skip Bo."

With the mention of Bosname I look and see if hes ready to come in or not. Hes not. He likes to run around for a while and investigate the woods. I let him because hes a dog and it is his happy place. I like that for him. He likes it for him too it seems.

Jake gets the card games from one of his bags and we sit at the table and I have another Coke and the boys have another Fanta.

The first bath of cookies are done so I set them on a cooling rack an the boys take turns making the new batch. I figure they are cool enough after we get the new batch in the oven and let the boys have a couple and I can resist anything but temptation and have two as well.

"Man these are so good. I cant believe we made them." Kevin says while looking at the cookie in his hand.

"Yes they are good. You boys did a good job."
"We just put them on the pan. You mixed it all up." Jake says.

"True. But you watched me do it. Did it look too hard?"
"Not really." he replies.

"Next time I will let you boys make them all the way. Then you will see its easy to make them."
"Cool."

Bo is ready to come back in. I let him in with both boys standing next to me. He walks in looks at the boys and sniffs then licks Jake's. penis.

He giggles at it and is hard in a second. He is pushing Bo away to stop him. I'm thinking I have the best dog in the best dog in the world. Maybe reincarnation is real and Bo was a boy lover in a past life. Because I have been wanting to do that since I met the boys.

"Jake can shoot." Kevin tells me with some enthusiasm in his voice.

"Really?"

"Yeah but its not much yet."
I don't know where to go with this conversation. I start to change the subject but Kevin beats me before I do.

"Yeah I bet you shoot lots. I seen your balls and I bet they got gallons in them."

"Its hardly gallons. But I'm sure I shoot more than Jake."
"Can I see?"
"Uhhh. Lets finish our game." I say thinking this will end this conversation.

"OK. Can we see after the game?"
"Probably not."
"Why not? We want to see it."

Jake is nodding he too wants to see it.

"No, I don't think so guys. I could go to prison for doing things like that in front of you two."
"We ain't gonna tell nobody. We ain't stupid." Kevin says.

"Yeah we wont tell nobody." Jake agrees.

"I know you got a great big one. I felt it gt hard earlier."
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean for you to feel that."
"Shoot its OK I wanted to. So can we?"
"I'm not sure guys. Maybe another time. Lets finish the game."
We sit down and finish the game. Not a word was said but I know we were all thinking about my cock. Shit I was solid as stone just thinking of them wanting to see my cock. If I was to do that I wouldn't last but a few seconds because I have been so worked up the past few days and haven't given myself any relief. I should have done that. Hindsight and all that stuff.

"I was thinking guys." I say breaking the silence.

"About?" Jake asks.

"Santa Clause."
"Uh huh." He continues.

"He has a list of all the naughty boys right?"
"Sure."
"I would like to have a list of naughty boys." I tell them smiling thinking IM funny.

They both giggle.

"I can be pretty naughty." Kevin tells me with a grin.

I feel myself blush thinking about what he is insinuating.

I did as I wanted and broke the ice with them and we laugh and joke around until around 10 when they are starting to yawn.

"Alright guys time for bed. I figure you can share the bed int eh spare room or one of you can sleep in it and one on the couch. Your choice where you sleep."

"OK I'm sleeping with you." Kevin tells me.

"That wasn't one of the options." I respond.

"Yes it was you said my choice where I sleep. I choose to sleep with you." He tells me.

"I don't know if that's a good idea buddy."
"Of course it is." he tells me.

"Can I sleep with you too?" Jake asks.

What the Hell now I have two boys that want to sleep in my bed with me. Bo is going to be pissed.

"I don't know guys. What would your mother say if she knew this?"
"Nothing. We sleep with her all the time." Jake informs me.

"Yeah we started after Daddy died because we were so scared and sad all the time."
HM Guilt.

"I suppose its OK." I tell them knowing this is a bad idea.

I can resist anything but temptation. The temptation of two very cute naked boys in my bed with me. Yeah, this is a bad idea for sure.
