Sorry the last two have been a bit short but the endings are so perfect I just had to stop on those notes. The story is just flowing so easily. The muses are not whispering or talking they are screaming. I must say that i have received well over 100 emails in the last few days from this story. It is really great. I had no idea something in my head could actually be worthy of anything. I am making some really nice internet friends and have shared some lengthy emails back and forth. Thanks guys i appreciate you. You know who you are. I'm amazed really at the global reach that this little guy in middle America has had with my story. I'm really very humbled by all the fantastic emails i have received. One gentleman from Holland mentioned he only follows two stories regularly on here and i was honored he put me in the same category as those two which are fabulous stories. I have to say its a real rush seeing i have more emails. I do know that i will not be posting anything probably for a couple of days due to working both jobs. I'm just to exhausted after that. I'm sorry. I think i will possibly post another chapter Friday if not Saturday for sure. I've had several people ask if i have a list to send emails of a new chapter. No sorry not yet. I will see if i can figure that out. I'm not too brilliant when it comes to computers. I'm going to ask the IT guy tomorrow at work how to do it. Now we all have fun here reading and now me writing. You know what Nifty is right in front of you make a donation. As always make it in my name your name the neighbors dogs name a teacher you hate in third grade. Nifty doesn't care they need some funds to keep up the fun. I will warn you nothing sexually graphic happens in this chapter but it is discussed a bit. If this offends you i apologize. Wait no i don't. Its a story Enjoy it Shalom Eric Transitions Chapter 4 As Joy sees what Alejandro has written she smiles as tears begin to fall from her eyes. "Hey don't get it wet Joy." Eric says. Joy doesn't respond she sits the coloring book down and quickly leaves the room. Eric just holds Alejandro hugging him. "Oh buddy we are going to have an amazing life together. I am so happy that I have found you." Alejandro squeezes bag. As Eric calms his emotions and stops crying he lets Alejandro go and turns him back around so hes again facing forward on his lap. "Well buddy what now? Should we play with some..." "Breakfast for the most handsome boy on the floor." Nurse Judy strolls in with the breakfast tray. "Gosh Judy i know i look young but I'm hardly a boy." "Its not for you ya old fart." Judy jokes. "How are you Judy still well i hope." "I couldn't ask for a better life. I have everything i want if i hit the lotto all i would do is buy a better car." "That is a pretty good life." "Hold that thought i will be right back." She leaves and returns a moment later with another tray. "Look Alejandro they think you need to eat more. Now they are giving you two trays." Eric says tickling Alejandro's belly through the robe. Alejandro giggles. "No sir its for you. Dr Ross heard what happened last night when you left to get something to eat because you silly man hadn't eaten all day and then Alejandro got a bit upset." "A bit huh?" "Yeah just a smidgen. So apparently now silly men who don't eat get a tray now too." She says smiling "See that Alejandro now I'm in trouble with Dr Ross." Alejandro looks at Eric with sad eyes. "No not really buddy. He just wants to makes sure you are OK and if i eat and stay with you he knows you will be fine." He says tickling his sides. Alejandro giggles again. "Ready to eat buddy?" Alejandro smiles and shakes his head yes. "Alrighty then awaaaaaay we go." Eric plops Alejandro over onto the bed. Alejandro giggling. Eric slides the bed table over to Alejandro and lifts the cover off the tray. "OH Boy oh boy french toast and sausage. Super Yummy!!!" Eric exclaims. Alejandro gives a big smile and a head shake yes. "Do you need help cutting up the toast or do you have it OK?" Alejandro tilts his head sideways to ponder moment fidgeting his lips. He lifts his hand and kind of waves and grabs his fork. Signifying its OK I got this. "Don't forget the syrup." Alejandro looks over at Eric and nods his head. Sits the fork back down and grabs the little syrup carafe of syrup and pours a liberal amount over the toast. "MMMMM." Alejandro says. "That's my boy." Eric says then realizes indeed that is his boy and smiles. Judy smiles and hands Eric his tray. Its the same so Eric pours on the syrup and he too says "MMM." as he does. "Birds of a feather." Judy laughs. "I'll be back in a while with Alejandro's pills. By the way the doctor canceled three of them and hes down to two. Dr Ross says if he continues like this he may be able to leave tomorrow around 2 after he checks him." "Well isn't that great news my little friend. We can hopefully begin our lives together sooner then we thought." Alejandro smiles and nods. "That's exactly what i was thinking buddy lets get you home." Alejandro nods again and takes another bite. Eric looks and sees Alejandro has syrup smeared all over his cute little cheeks. He thinks about wiping them off and figures why they are just going to get messy again we will wait until hes done. They eat in peace and are both humming as they eat loving the french toast. Alejandro finishes first because Eric after years in the restaurant industry has forced himself to slow down and eat. Instead of just wolfing something down when you have a second. Eric has a half of a piece of french toast left. "You want this Alejandro?" Alejandro smiles and shakes his head yes. "Fantastic I was getting pretty full." Eric says lying hes still hungry but his boy needs it more then he does. He slips Alejandro's plate off his tray and slides his onto it. Alejandro continues eating doing a kind of sitting down dance as he eats. Eric takes out his cell phone and videos him. Alejandro notice and bounces his head back and forth smiling and takes another bite. Eric just enjoys watching his boy happy. I would give him all the french toast in the world if i could. Eric slips his phone back in his pocket. After Alejandro is done he points to the piece of sausage and then at Eric. "You don't want it?" Alejandro rubs his tummy. "Pretty full huh?" Alejandro smiles and nods his head. "How can i turn down some sausage?" Eric snatches it up with his fingers and eats it. "Yummy. I do love little sausages." Eric smiles while still chewing thinking to himself the double meaning to this. "Good Morning Boys!!!" Dr Ross loudly greets them as he walks in the room. "How is my favorite little patient today?" Alejandro's eyes open wide and he puts his hand to his chest. "Yes you little man. I tell you what you are a great patient. You do what I ask and don't give me a bunch of lip in the process." The doctor jokes. Eric chuckles and Alejandro smiles and blushes a bit. "Is it OK for me to check you now Alejandro?" Dr Ross asks. Alejandro looks to Eric for an answer. "Well do you have other plans today?" Eric asks. Alejandro smiles and shakes his head no. "Nurse Judy said if you do well we can go home tomorrow if Dr Ross says its OK. So i would if i were you." Eric says opening a wet wipe and cleaning the syrup off Alejandro's face. Alejandro shrugs and nods yes. "OK then lets have a look then. Can you open your robe for me?" Alejandro unfastens the tie on the robe and opens it up exposing himself in all his glory. Eric sighs softly at seeing him naked once again. He cant help to look at his boy bits and feels a stirring down below. I've got to get this under control he thinks. I don't. want to lose him now. We would both be devastated. Most importantly him. He is the most important in this situation. Well in all situations. While Eric is thinking this the doctor lays Alejandro back and again feels down his body. Pushing and poking. "OK Alejandro now comes the crummy part. I need to check your anus again." Alejandro frowns but rolls over and grabs the pillow and puts it under his hips for the doctor. The doctor grabs a pair of gloves off the wall and applies the ointment to his finger. He spreads Alejandro's pert little globes exposing his little brown star. Eric is instantly hard imagining inserting his cock into him. "Well this is good news. All the swelling is down and it looks like the tears have nearly healed. Eric i don't think after today you will have to put any more medication here." "That is great news doctor/" Eric says excitedly. But inwardly is kind of sad he wont have to put a finger into his tight little hole again. Hes thrilled his boy is healing but dammit that was super exciting to do. The doctor removes his finger from the little brown boy bottom and removes the glove. He tosses it in the waste bin. "Yes boys i don't see any reason why he cant go home tomorrow. He seems to be doing very well. I think honestly Eric that if you hadn't been coming he would have been here another week or two. I think you may be the child whisperer." "PSHAW!!" "No I'm serious. I have had many patients over the years and never have i seen one take such a quick a dramatic turn for the better. Its nearly a miracle. At first i wasn't sure he was going to live. Or that he really wanted to for that matter. Now look at him all smiles and in a cute new robe." The doctor says tweaking Alejandro's cheek as he puts his robe back on sitting in the bed. "Well thank you doctor. I know that you had a big part in him getting better." "Not as much as you. But, thank you for the compliment." "Well off i go to see a cranky old man a few rooms down." "Why is he cranky?" Eric asks. "He had his gallbladder removed and he isn't liking getting old. He needs to learn to embrace every day no matter what his age. Every day is a gift to be savored. I have never understood bitter people." "I have met my fair share of those." "In your business I'm sure you met them all." Eric shakes his head yes. "That's very possible." And chuckles. As the doctor leaves Judy returns with a bag from the gift shop. "Where did you run off too?"Eric enquirers. She holds up the bag. "I went to go buy a new car obviously." "Smart ass." "Indeed." "Oh I'm sorry Alejandro I shouldn't swear in front of you." Alejandro shrugs like I haven't heard worse every day. "I got Alejandro some presents at the gift shop because i wanted to apologize to him because i have to take you to court in a few minutes and i wanted him to know that I m sorry to take away his new poppi for a while." "What do i need to go to court for?" "You have to go to court for custody. Do you really not know this?" "I suppose i did but I just didn't think about it." "So we need to leave now then?" "Yes right now Judge Williams despises people being late. We don't want to make him angry." "No we do not." "Lets get going." Eric turns to Alejandro. "Buddy I don't know how long i will be gone but i promise i will be back as soon as I can. Are you going to be OK while I'm gone." Alejandro smiles and nods yes. "Will you be a good boy and do what the nurses ask of you?" Alejandro nods yes. "You promise? Because I haven't given you your pills and you will have to do it on your own." Alejandro makes a sour face. "I know buddy but will you?" Alejandro nods yes slowly. "Promise? Between us a promise cant be broken we have to do what we promise.?" Alejandro nods yes again and waves him to go. Eric bends down and kisses him on his cheek rubs his hair. "I will be back as soon as i can. Remember its the most important thing i will ever tell you. Are you listening?" Alejandro looks intently at Eric and nods a firm yes. "I love you." Alejandro smiles and stands in the bed arms spread wide. Eric takes him in his arms gives him a loving embrace. "I know you love me too." He feels Alejandro's head nod yes on his shoulder. Eric lets him go. "Be back as soon as i can." After they leave Alejandro smiles at the thought of his new Poppi. He knows he can trust him but hes scared. Mommy's boyfriend was nice at first but then he got mean. He forced him to do things he didn't want to because he said it made him feel good. Alejandro spits thinking of the mans rancid tasting cum in his mouth. He thinks of the way the man forced his cock in his mouth and told him he would kill him and his mother if he didn't do it. A lot of times even after he would still beat him he thinks. But hes pretty sure his new Poppi wouldn't force him to do things like that. But he thinks he would if he asked. His new Poppi is really nice and he saw that his pee pee was big after he put his finger in his butt. He knows he likes it but thinks he wouldn't force me to do things like that. He smiles and thinks No Poppi Eric wouldn't force me to. But if he stays nice i might do it because i know my mean Poppi really liked it and it felt good. I would like to make Poppi Eric feel good like that too. He turns on the TV and sees Poppi Eric's favorite Tom and Jerry. He thinks about him and Poppi Eric sitting and watching cartoons and Poppi Eric just held him and giggled at the cartoon. He remembers the dream he was having when he fell asleep in Poppi Eric's arms. He saw him and Poppi Eric when he was about 13. Then he saw himself graduating high school Poppi Eric in the crowd clapping and so proud of him. Then he sees himself in a coat like what Dr Ross wears and Poppi Eric telling him hes so proud. Then he sees himself older and Poppi Eric is old and he sees children running and playing and he knows its his children and he sees his beautiful wife. Poppi Eric looks so happy and Alejandro knows hes happy too. Yes he decides i will make Poppi Eric feel good when i get a chance. ************************* Eric and Joy are sitting outside the court waiting. Eric is fidgety. "Whats going to happen i never thought i might not get custody?" "Trust me hunny bunny its just a formality." "If the judge says no it will kill me and i know Alejandro will be devastated." "Never happen." Door opens to the court. The bailiff pokes his head out. "Joy your next. Come on in with Mr Murphey." Joy leads the way and Eric follows. The judge a big black man is sitting behind the bench. "Good afternoon Joy. Mr Murphey." He booms in a deep voice. "Good afternoon your honor." They both say in unison. "Let me see the file bailiff." The judge says. He gets the manila folder handed to him. He glances over it. "Oh this case. So tragic. Joy how is the boy." "Hes doing much better your honor. I do have some things i would like to show you if that's OK?" "Bring them up let me see what you have?" Joy opens her briefcase and removes another folder. She walks forward to the judges bench and hands him the folder. He opens it and begins reading. "When did you get all of this?" "This morning your honor." "I see you even had everything notarized." "Yes sir i didn't want any doubt in your mind." "No i have no doubt. Mr Murphey I have a few questions for you. Would you stand and be sworn in." He does and is. "Mr. Murphey I have known you for well over 20 years. I remember seeing you as a child with Mr Brown. He was a wonderful man. I also know as you do that both of my children worked for you at some point. They always had the highest praise for you. However i need to ask a few questions first." "Ask away sir." "OK lets begin with the basics then move from there. First do you want to be granted custody of the boy named Alejandro Gutierrez?" "Yes your honor more then anything in the world." "Alright. Do you still reside at the same home my family visited for the cook out?" "Yes your honor." "Joy says that your home is more than up to standards for a foster child. What do you plan for in the future with the boy in question?" "I want to adopt him sir. I love him and i could not imagine what my life would be without him sir." "Now as far as your income that's not here in the report." "Sir i keep my income very private. I don't. think its anyone's business what i make nor is it there what i make." "I think it is my business.' Judge Williams says firmly. "No sir that's not how i meant it at all. I mean the general public." "Oh that's better. How much do you earn a year?" "Well sir it varies." "Can you give me a ballpark figure?" "I can tell you what I have made the last three years if that helps?" "Yes Mr Murphey it would help." The judge says starting to get perturbed. "Well sir i own 137 McDonald's restaurants as of three years ago. I'm in the process of purchasing another 108 on the west coast. My stores generally earn better then the average of others which is 150,000 per year per store. I also own 102 apartment complexes around the nation. So last year i made 42.4 Million dollars. The year before 39.6 and the year before 38.2. Is the sufficient sir?" Joys mouth dropped ope at this. She knew Eric owned a few stores but she didn't realize the vast amount of money he had. She knew he wasn't poor but also didn't realize he was that wealthy. "So what is your net worth?" The judge asks a bit surprised himself. "Well your honor after donations of an automatic 10 percent to St Jude Children's hospital and a donations of lesser amounts to several charities I feel are helpful to people such as the Trevor Project and the likes my net worth is right at 250 million sir." "That's your business worth?" "No sir my business is worth much more then that you asked for my net worth is that correct?" "You must be a business genius." The judge states. "No sir i just know to hire people who know what they are doing. I'm just the lucky recipient of their vast knowledge. I of course pay them handsomely because a well paid person no matter what level is a good worker." "All i can say is wow." Judge Williams says. "Sir I am not proud of my wealth. Honestly i didn't earn it at all. Mr Brown when he died gave me my first store and 3 million dollars. I used what he gave me to buy more. I sir do not deserve credit for what others have done." "I believe you are being modest." "No sir. To be honest all i ever wanted in my life is to be the manager for Mr Brown, have a nice little house and a family to love and call my own. The money to me doesn't matter. If you said i had to give it all away to have Alejandro I would in a second and never look back." "I honestly believe you." "I better be telling the truth I'm under oath right?" Eric chuckles "Yeah that's very true." The judge responds chuckling as well. The judge fumbles through the file Joy gave him. "Mr Murphey let me read something to you." "Sure?" Eric says not knowing if its a question or not. "It reads. I have known Mr Eric Murphey for most of my life. I have never heard him say an unkind word about anyone. I have seen customers berate and demean him and he just takes it. After they leave i would ask if he was angry. He always responded the same way. I wish that person wouldn't have such bad days. I wonder what we can do to make their lives better. I have seen him help homeless people into homes. I have seen him feed hungry children. He does this all for no one but for the in need. I have heard him say ever since ive known him. "If you cant help the person in front of you what good are you." He is a special man who is modest and i know is one of the kindest gentlest men i have ever met. Mr Murphey or Mr Eric as most refer to him simply out of the great respect and admiration they have for him does not see color. He sees people. He doesn't see gay or straight he sees people. He doesn't see rich or poor he sees people. I have never known of Mr Eric to ever ask anything from anyone something he wouldn't do himself. I think that its a wonderful thing that Mr Eric wants to foster a child. I see no reason you shouldn't grant him his desire." The judge stops reading. "Mr Murphey the last sentence really got me. Listen carefully." "Mr Eric is one of the greatest men i have ever known and if you don't allow him to foster this child i swear daddy i will never talk to you again because you don't have the sense god gave a rock." Eric shakes his head in disbelief. "So what do you think of that Mr Murphey?" "I think your daughter thinks more highly of me then she should sir." "No i don't. think so. I believe she is spot on. I personally believe that the boy is one lucky little fellow to have you as his foster dad. I'm sure that we will soon grant the adoption as well. In the case of Alejandro Gutierrez custody will be granted to Eric Murphey pending his final adoption that date will be set now six months from today." The judge slams his gavel closing the case. "Congratulations Mr Murphey its a boy." The judge says smiling. Tears flow from Eric's eyes. "Thank you so much your honor thank you. I cant tell you how happy and grateful i am to you for this. From now on your Thursday Big Mac meal is always on me." "No Mr Murphey i cant do that it may be misconstrued by other parties." "OK your honor but I do want to thank you with all of my heart," "Your welcome Mr Murphey you are very welcomed." The judge smiles. Joy and Eric leave the courthouse Eric is jumping around like a little boy. "Oh my god Joy Hes really mine hes going to really be my son. I'm so fucking thrilled.!!!!" Joy smiles a big smile. "I'm thrilled for you." "Its just so amazing Joy so amazing." They get to Eric's car and get in. "So Eric my friend you are worth HOW MUCH?" She says. "Oh Pshaw its just money. You want a million you can have it. Hell have ten million i really don't. care." "I don't. care about your money i care about you. But one question." "OK?" "When we looked for apartments for Lucas the rent was 950 a month. When i said to the landlord we couldn't afford that much he shrugged it off like sucks to be you. Then he calls two weeks later and says that if we sign a 4 year lease for the entire time Lucas is in school we can have it for $450 a month. Did you have anything to do with that?" Eric just looks down in his lap. "You fucker. You knew i wouldn't take money so you manipulated the system for me." "I'm sorry. I just wanted to help. I knew you were kinda mad when i got the car for Lucas you said he didn't need a new one that one 5 years old or more in good shape would have been fine. So i knew you wouldn't allow this." "See you are a big softy." She says smiling. "How much did you pay for the apartments?" "I really don't. know my money manager took care of it. But i think he said around 3.2 million." "You know your a dick right?" She says smiling. "Yeah I know." Then they took off to the hospital to tell Alejandro the great news. When they got to the hospital Eric nearly ran to the room where they were keeping Alejandro. He burst into the room a huge smile on his face. Alejandro stand on the bed arms spread wide. Eric grabs him up and swings him around. "Its official Alejandro you can stay with me forever if you want." Eric says still spinning holding the boy. Alejandro giggles wit glee. "I cant wait until tomorrow when we get to take you home. But buddy we got lots of work to do today to get ready." Eric says sitting Alejandro down on the bed gently. Alejandro looks confused. "We got to pick out some furniture for your room silly." Alejandro holds his hand to his little chest. "Yes for your room. I want it to be just like you always wanted your room to be." Alejandro smiles. Judy finally enters the room. "Ya couldn't wait on me?" "Not a chance i was way too excited," "Well i just came up to make sure everything is OK." "Everything is GREAT!!!! Right buddy?" Alejandro smiles his beatific smile and nods vigorously yes. "Well guys i gotta go. Sadly there are more kids in need that i have to help." Eric gives her a hug picking her off the floor. "Thank you Joy so very very much. I know it went so quickly and so easily because of you. You are truly the greatest friend ever." "No i just saw you two needed each other. And today you two were the people in front of me." She smiles and leaves.
