Date: Sun, 15 Jun 2008 13:35:35 -0400 From: Lone Wolf Subject: ZackandJay-chapter#7 Zack and Jay Chapter 7 Author: Lone Wolf Author's note: Just a reminder this is a work of fiction. I hope some day the Governments of this world remove their heads from their collective asses and change the laws so gay and lesbian couples can share in the same benefits that married heterosexual couples have. I believe that everyone should have the right to marry whom ever they choose; regardless of their sexual orientation. I hope that some day everyone will be able to share what Zack and Jay share in this chapter. Enjoy! Hope to hear from everyone soon. Lone Wolf Unable to sleep any longer I get up at about seven thirty. I take a shower, shave, get dressed in jeans and a t-shirt and head down stairs; nobody else is up yet. So I decide to go for a walk. I walk around town not really thinking about where I'm going, not thinking about anything. After about a half hour of walking I'm entering the cemetery. I walk over to Josh's grave and stand there looking down at his tomb stone. "Josh, I really don't know why I'm here. I was out walking and this is just where I ended up. Jay and I are getting married today, and we're adopting Shawn; Jay's nephew. We're going to raise him as our son. Josh, I still love you. But I love Jay, too. Maybe even more than I ever loved you, I don't know. I just thought I should tell you. Well, I had better get back to the house. Good bye, Josh." I kiss my fingers and place them on the top of his tomb stone and walk back home. I get there just as Judge Mitchell arrives around nine thirty. I meet him at his car door as he is getting out of it. He hugs me and says, "Congratulations Zack, I never thought I would be marrying you." "To be completely honest with you Judge Mitchell; neither did I." I tell him. I show him into the house, Jay and my parents are sitting in the kitchen eating a light breakfast. Judge Mitchell goes to say hi to my parents and Jay comes to me and asks, "Where have you been? I've been worried you got cold feet, and had walked out on me." "Jay, no; I didn't sleep well last night, I guess I'm just nervous. I went for a walk and found myself at the cemetery. I told Josh that we're getting married and adopting Shawn. Then I came straight back. I thought I needed tell him." I kiss him and pull him into a hug. I see Judge Mitchell walking back toward us so I break the hug and introduce them. We sit down at the table with my parents and Judge Mitchell asks Jay and me what kind of ceremony we want. I tell him, "I found one on line that we both like; I have a printout of it, just a second." I get up and grab a folder off the counter. I flip through the papers inside and find the sheets containing the ceremony and hand them to him. He reads the papers; when he is done he looks up at Jay and me and asks, "You both agree on this?" Jay and I both say, "Yes." And he continues, "I have done a couple hand fasting ceremonies, and I think they are beautiful. This will make for a very special day for you two. What are we going to use for the hand fasting?" "I'll be right back, I found something at a store the other day, and I think it will work perfectly." Mom says, and leaves the room. When she comes back she is caring an ornate bow with eight cords hanging down below it; four of blue and four of green. They are almost the same shades as Jay's and my eyes. "I didn't want you guys to see this until this morning. After you both told us you wanted to incorporate hand fasting into the ceremony I found this and thought it would be perfect." "Mom that is beautiful. Isn't Jay?" "Yes it is. Jenny, I don't know how Zack and I will ever be able to thank you and Steve for everything you have done for us." Jay says. "You just did." Dad says. "Ok, that takes care of the ceremony. Now what about last names; is anyone changing their name or are you going to keep your names as they are?" Judge Mitchell asks. "We're going to keep our names." I say. "No we're not. Zack you have helped me so much since we met. I want to take your name as mine after the ceremony." Jay says. "If anyone takes the others name it should be me. You're two years older then I am; I should take your name." I tell him. "No. I want to do this; no arguing." He says and drops the subject. "Well, I guess you have your answer." I say to Judge Mitchell. "Ok, the lawyer you hired to handle the paperwork for the adoption dropped it off at my office on Friday. We will have to make the needed changes with Jason's name. But that won't be a problem, we can make the changes right on them and still file them that way." Judge Mitchell says. He makes the necessary changes to the paperwork and he and Jay initial and date each change. We head outside so he can see where the ceremony will take place and what we have in mind. We tell him that as the ceremony starts Jay will come out of the small tent on the left and I will come out of the one on the right. We will meet in the middle; right in front of the arbor that has been recently decorated with fresh cut flowers by the florist that Mom hired; sometime. I honestly didn't know about that one. I thought she was just going to get the wedding party corsages to wear. But as I look around the back yard, I notice flowers everywhere. 'The florist must have been here while I was out walking.' I think to myself. Tom shows up a little later with Jay's parents. About fifteen minutes later Gary and Chris show up. Our father's and best men head upstairs to get changed into their tuxes. Soon guests start arriving. Mom asks some of our family to sit on the left side because most of Jay's family can't be there. But tells them there will be a couple photographers taking pictures and taping the whole ceremony with camcorders so Jay's family will be able to see the wedding. "When did you come up with that?" I ask her, laughing a little. "Zack, I told you to leave everything to me. I want this day to be special for you two." She says with tears in her eyes. "Mom, don't cry; you promised." I say to her. "You know damn well if you start so will I. And I don't want to cry. Today is a happy day." "Alright, I'll try." She says taking a deep breath. Everyone is finally there and it is almost time to start. Jay and I head over to our tents to get changed. Tom takes him his tux and Gary brings me mine. I change into the tux and sit on a stool from the kitchen waiting. I hear music start and low murmuring from the guests as they take their seats. Gary walks in and helps me pin my corsage on and I hand him my Claddagh ring. "It'll just be a couple more minutes." He says to me. "Are you nervous?" He asks. "I've been nervous for about two months. I can't believe I'm getting married and getting a son all in the same day." I tell him. "You'll be fine. Jay is a great guy." He says. "Yeah, he is." I tell him and give my friend a hug. "Thanks for doing this for me." "I wouldn't have missed this for the world. What are friends for?" He asks. I can only smile at him. I hear Mom outside the tent ask, "Zack are you ready?" "Yes, we're ready." Gary leaves and takes his place outside the tent. The volume is turned up on the music and John Lennon's "Stand by Me" starts playing. When Lennon starts signing, Gary opens the tent and I step outside. I look over at Jay and just about fall over. He is wearing the same tux as me; his cummerbund and tie are the exact shade of green as my eyes. 'I can't believe it; we picked the same one. We truly are soul mates.' I think to myself. I start slowly walking towards him, Gary following behind me, never taking my eyes from Jay's, and meet at the arbor just as the song ends. "We think alike, don't we?" He whispers to me. "Yeah, we do!" I say, I feel like crying. I feel so much love for this man I've only known for nine months. Judge Mitchell asks us to turn towards him and then reads aloud to our guests, "Good afternoon and welcome to the ceremony that will unite Zack and Jason in marriage. We gather here today to celebrate their union, and to honor their commitment to not just gazing at one another, but to looking outward together in the same direction. Today Zack and Jason proclaim their love to the world, and we rejoice with and for them. "In marriage, we give ourselves freely and generously into the hands of the one we love, and in doing so, each of us receives the love and trust of the other as our most precious gift. But even as that gift is shared by two people who are in love, it also touches the friends and family members who in various ways support and contribute to the relationship. All of you are Zack and Jason's community, and each of you has played some part in bringing them to this moment. This is why gathering as a community is such an important part of a wedding ceremony. Because Zack and Jason are now taking a new form as a married couple, and in this form, they become part of their community in a new way." And then to us he says, "Jason and Zack; know now before you go further, that since your lives have crossed in this life, you have formed eternal and sacred bonds. As you seek to enter this state of matrimony you should strive to make real the ideals that to you, give meaning this ceremony and to the institution of marriage. "With full awareness, know that within this circle you are not only declaring your intent to be hand fasted before your friends and family, but you speak that intent also to your creative higher powers. The promises made today and the ties that are bound here greatly strengthen your union and will cross the years and lives of each soul's growth. Do you still seek to enter this ceremony?" Judge Mitchell asks us. "Yes." Jay and I say together. "Will everyone please rise." He says. Then he continues, "In many cultures it is believed that the human soul shares characteristics with all things divine. It is this belief which assigned virtues to the four cardinal directions; East, South, West and North. It is according to this belief that we align ourselves with these elements. Each of these blessings from the four cardinal directions emphasizes those things which will help you build a happy and successful union. "Blessed be this union with the gifts of the East and the element of Air, for openness and breath, communication of the heart, and purity of the mind and body. From the east you receive the gift of a new beginning with the rising of each Sun, and the understanding that each day is a new opportunity for growth. "Blessed be this union with the gifts of the South and the element of fire, for energy, passion, creativity and the warmth of a loving home. From the fire within you, generate light which you will share with one another in even the darkest of times. "Blessed be this union with the gifts of the West, the element of water, for your capacity to feel emotion. In marriage you offer absolute trust to one another, and vow to keep your hearts open in sorrow as well as joy. "Blessed be this union with the gifts of the North, the element of earth; which provides sustenance, fertility and security. The earth will feed and enrich you, and help you to build a stable home to which you may always return." He finishes and has our guest take their seats. He turns and picks up the bow from a small table sitting next to him, and turns back to us. "Zack and Jason, I bid you look into each others eyes." He says, and Jay and I turn to each other and look into each others eyes. Then he asks, "Will you honor and respect one another, and seek to never break that honor?" "We will." We respond in unison. He places one of the cords over our linked right hands. "And so the first binding is made. Will you share each other's pain and seek to ease it?" He asks. "We will." Jay and I answer. A tear runs from Jay's eye. He places the next cord over our hands. Then continues, "And so the second binding is made. Will you share the burdens of each so that your spirits may grow in this union?" He asks. "We will." We say. He places the third cord over our hands. I'm now crying, too. And continues, "And so the third binding is made. Will you share each other's laughter, and look for the brightness in life and the positive in each other?" He asks. "We will." We say and smile to each other. He places the fourth cord over our hands. And then says, "And so the fourth binding is made." He then loosely ties the remaining four cords to the four he had placed over our hands. When he finishes tying the cords together; he says, "Jason and Zack, as your hands are bound together now, so your lives and spirits are joined in a union of love and trust. Above you are the stars and below you is the earth. Like the stars, your love should be a constant source of light, and like the earth, a firm foundation from which to grow. "Zack and Jason, we are here to remember and rejoice with you and to recount with one another that it is love that guides us on our path, and to celebrate as you begin this journey together. It is in this spirit that you have come here today to exchange these vows. "Zack, repeat after me:" He says. And then continues, "I Zack take you Jason to be my husband"; "I promise above all else to live in truth with you"; "and to communicate fully and fearlessly"; "I give you my hand and my heart"; "as a sanctuary of warmth and peace"; "and pledge my love, devotion, faith and honor"; "as I join my life to yours." I repeat each vow as he finishes it. Then he turns to Jay and says, "Jason repeat after me:" He says the same vows and Jay repeats them, one vow at a time. After Jay says his last vow Judge Mitchell says, "For thousands of years lovers have exchanged rings as a token of their vows. These gold bands are not of great value in themselves, but are made precious by our wearing of them. Your rings say that even in your uniqueness you have chosen to be bound together. Let these rings also be a sign that love has substance as well as soul, a present as well as a past, and that, despite its occasional sorrows, love is a circle of happiness, wonder, delight, and joy. "Zack take Jason's ring and put it on his finger, and repeat after me:" Jay turns to Tom and gets his ring from him and hands it to me. I slide it on his finger with the heart pointing up his arm towards his own. Then I repeat what Judge Mitchell says, "Just as this circle is without end,"; "my love for you is eternal"; "Just as it is made of indestructible substance"; "my commitment to you will never fail"; "With this ring I take you to be my trusted confidante"; "and partner for life." Judge Mitchell then turns to Jay and says, "Jason take Zack's ring and put it on his finger, and repeat after me:" I turn to Gary and he hands me my ring and I give it to Jay. He puts it on my finger with the heart pointing up and then repeats what Judge Mitchell had me say. Judge Mitchell continues when Jay is done, "Zack and Jason, although I'm officiating here today, it is not truly in my power to sanctify, legitimize or bless your relationship in any way, because the two of you have already done that in your hearts. So, by joining hands right now and looking into each other's eyes, let it be known that you are joined, body and soul in this lifetime, and that this bond is sacred and eternal. And now that you have stood before me and been hand fasted, exchanged these rings and these vows, and have agreed to be married according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, it gives me great pleasure to pronounce that you are life partners. You may kiss your husband." He says to us. We kiss very passionately for quite some time until I hear Shawn yell from my mother's lap, almost like he's trying to tell us to knock it off. Jay and I turn to him and smile and shake our heads, everybody starts laughing. We carefully remove our hands from the hand fasting without untying it and place it back on the table. Then Judge Mitchell continues, "Zack and Jason would like to sign the adoption papers for Shawn now. They want you all to witness them becoming a true family." Mom and Dad and Jay's parents get up and stand by us. Mom hands Shawn to me. Judge Mitchell lays the adoption papers out on the table and gives Jay a pen and shows him where to sign; he signs his first name and middle initial then hesitates. After a few seconds he finally signs Miller. I hand Shawn to him and look at him with a questioning look. He whispers to me, "I almost signed it Ferguson." I give him a kiss and then turn and sign the papers. Our parents return to their seats and Judge Mitchell says to everyone, "I give you: Zack, Jay, and Shawn Miller for the first time as a family." Everyone stands and claps. Jay and I walk down the short center isle and stand at the back as our family and friends greet us and congratulate us. After fifteen minutes, everyone has gone through the line and I have introduced my family to Jay. Then we spend about an hour with the photographers, they take about a million pictures. Spending more time than necessary in setting up the poses; I've found over the years poses look more natural if they aren't forced, but they're 'professionals'. Shawn is really crabby and wants to go to sleep so I take him upstairs; we actually had to wake him for a few of the pictures he was in. I bring the baby monitor out with me so I can hear him when he wakes up. The caterer arrived sometime during the picture taking and has everything set up. Everyone takes their assigned seats, and Jay and I start the buffet line. There are a lot of different kinds of food; Mom must have changed the menu that Jay and I had picked out. I turn to him and ask, "Do you remember agreeing to all this food?" "No. This must be your mother's handiwork." He responds, smiling at me. "Well, you gotta love her." Is all I can say, wanting to start crying again, because of the love I feel for my parents. This day had to have cost them a fortune. We make our way through the buffet line and head back to our table. Once seated; one of the waitresses comes over to us and pours us both a glass of champagne. I don't say anything to her, but after she has filled Gary and Tom's glasses and walks away, I look at Jay and say, "I'm only eighteen. Don't they realize that?" "It's our wedding day, don't worry about it. I don't think anyone here is going to tell if you have a glass or two. But don't over do it. I don't want you passing out on me later." He says, with a come hither look on his face. I lean over and give him another kiss and drop my hand in his crotch. "That is not going to happen." I tell him as Gary sits down on my left side and Tom takes the seat on Jay's right. I carefully remove my hand from where it lay so they wouldn't notice. They both pick up the gift boxes that we left for them at their places and open them. We got them matching sets of gold cuff links for thank you presents. They both thank us saying they love them, and we start eating. After everyone has eaten their fill; the plates are cleared away by the caterer's staff. Everyone starts dancing to the light music that has been playing since the meal started; or walks around and talks. I hear Shawn's cries from the portable baby monitor and head into the house to get him. As I walk from his nursery I meet Jay in the hall. He comes to us and pulls us into a hug and kisses both of us. "I love you guys." He says with tears streaming down his face. "We love you, too." I barely manage to say before I start crying with him. After a few minutes of just standing there and holding each other I finally manage to say, "You have made me the happiest guy on earth. A month before my nineteenth birthday and my life is fulfilled." "I can't even imagine I could love you more then I already do, but then you do or say something like that, I can feel my love for you grow. 'You' have made 'me' the happiest guy on earth." Jay says. We walk down the stairs and back outside with our arms wrapped around the others waist. As we walk back out to the reception I hear the deejay ask for Jay and I in the center of the dance floor. We walk into the middle of our guests and the floor empties. Then an altered version of 'Embraceable You" sung by Frank Sinatra starts playing. Jay and I start dancing holding Shawn between us. Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you. Embrace me, you irreplaceable you. Just one look at you My heart grew tipsy in me You and you alone Bring out the Gypsy in me I love all the many charms about you Above all, I want these arms about you Don't be a naughty bo-oy Come to papa, come to papa do My sweet embraceable you I love all the many charms about you Above all, I want my arms about you Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you Embrace me, you irreplaceable you Just one look at you My heart grew tipsy in me You and you alone Bring out the Gypsy in me I love all the many charms about you Above all, I want these arms about you Don't be a naughty bo-oy Come to papa, come to papa do My sweet embraceable you I love all the many charms about you Above all, I want my arms about you So don't you be, a naughty boy Come to papa do My sweet embraceable you The music fades and Jay and I stand there in the middle of family and friends and kiss again. Everyone claps and hoots and hollers. Then our parents take the floor and a slow waltz plays for them; Jay and I stand there and watch our parents almost float around the dance floor. Their movements just seem to flow from one into the next. I never saw my parents dance like that before. I wonder to myself if they took lessons for this. Jay's parents are just about as good, maybe if they were younger they could match my parents step for step. As the song ends we go out on the floor and hug our parents. I quietly ask my dad, "Did you guys take lessons?" "Yes." He says. "You actually did that for me; for us? Dad I love you." I say crying again. 'My father took dance lessons for my wedding, I can't believe this.' I think to myself as I pull him into another hug. We leave the dance floor and then the deejay says that the karaoke machine is available if any one wants to try it out. A couple of my cousins go over and pick out and butcher a couple of songs. I can't take it any longer and go over and ask the deejay if he has Bette Midler's "Wind Beneath my Wings". He says he does and loads it for me and hands me the Microphone. The music starts and I look over at Jay standing and talking to his parents and sing: It must have been cold there in my shadow, to never have sunlight on your face. You were content to let me shine, that's your way, you always walked a step behind. He looks around and then our eyes connect; and I continue: So I was the one with all the glory, while you were the one with all the strength. He starts walking towards me. A beautiful face without a name -- for so long, a beautiful smile to hide the pain. He walks up to me and I take his hand in mine. And look directly into his eyes as I sing. Did you ever know that you're my hero, and everything I would like to be? I can fly higher than an eagle, because you are the wind beneath my wings. It might have appeared to go unnoticed, but I've got it all here in my heart. I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it, I would be nothing with out you. Did you ever know that you're my hero, and everything I would like to be? I can fly higher than an eagle, because you are the wind beneath my wings. Tears run down his face. Fly, fly, fly away, you let me fly so high. Oh, fly, fly, so high against the sky, so high I almost touch the sky. Thank you, thank you, thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings. Our guests erupt into thunderous applause as I kiss Jay. As it quiets down I hear Mom yell, "Zack sing "Hotel California" for me." The deejay loads "Hotel California". The long intro starts and everybody goes quiet. On a dark desert highway Cool wind in my hair The warm smell of colitis Rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night There she stood in the doorway I heard the mission bell And I was thinking to myself This could be heaven or this could be hell Then she lit up a candle And she showed me the way There were voices down the corridor I thought I heard them say Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place, such a lovely face There's plenty of room at the Hotel California Any time of year, you can find it here Her mind is definitely twisted She's got her Mercedes Benz She's got a lotta pretty, pretty boys That she calls friends How they dance in the courtyard Sweet summer sweat Some dance to remember Some dance to forget So I called up the captain Please bring me my wine He said We haven't had that spirit here since 1969 And still those voices they're calling from far away Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place, such a lovely face They're livin' it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise, bring your alibis Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice And she said We are all just prisoners here of our own device In the masters chambers they're gathered for the feast They stab it with their steely knifes but they just can't kill the beast Last thing I remember, I was runnin' for the door I had to find the passage back to the place I was before Good night said the night man We are programmed to receive You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave More applause when the music stops, "How come you never told me you could sing like that? That was beautiful." Jay says. "I don't know, I guess it never came up. I used to be in the choir at school and went to the all county competition a couple of times and sang solos. Am I really that good?" I ask him. "I wish I could sing half as good as you do." He says and gives me another kiss. He turns to the deejay and asks if he has "Peaceful Easy Feeling" by Eagles. He tells Jay he does and loads it into the machine. The music starts and I sing: I like the way your sparkling earrings lay, against your skin, it's so brown and I wanna sleep with you in the desert tonight with a billion stars all around 'cause I gotta peaceful easy feeling and I know you won't let me down 'cause I'm already standing on the ground And I found out a long time ago what a woman can do to your soul Ah, but she can't take you anyway You don't already know how to go and I gotta peaceful, easy feeling and I know you won't let me down 'cause I'm already standing on the ground I get this feeling I may know you as a lover and a friend but this voice keeps whispering in my other ear, tells me I may never see you again 'cause I get a peaceful, easy feeling and I know you won't let me down 'cause I'm already standing on the ground 'cause I'm already standing... on the ground oooo, oooo Another thunderous applause; I thank everyone, and Jay and I walk over to where our parents are sitting. Mom asks me, "Do you want to hold your son?" "God; that is going to take some time getting used to hearing, yes." I tell her and she hands Shawn to me. I hold him up so I can look into his already very blue eyes. I kiss him on the forehead and whisper in his ear, "I love you, little man." It's time to cut the cake so Jay and I head over to it and take a spot on the back side so everyone can see us as we cut into it. The photographers take a bunch of pictures of us and because of them it takes about twenty times longer than it should. 'If I ever become a photographer and do a wedding, I hope I don't slow things down as much as these two bozos.' I think to myself. 'Mom should have asked my advice on this one.' We finally manage to get small slivers cut between the three roles of film the photographers used between them and are getting ready to feed it to each other. I say quietly to Jay just before we feed it to each other, "Play nice! Please." He very gently places the piece of cake into my mouth as I do the same to him. I lean in and lick a small bit of frosting of the corner of his mouth and say, "Thank you. I really hate it when couples smear the cake all over each other's faces." We move out of the way and Sarah, Jay's mom, and Mom finish cutting the cake and dish it out. Mom makes sure the top tier is placed safely out of the way for us to have on our first anniversary. After everyone has had cake Jay and I head over to the gift table and start opening gifts. Mom of course is right there right down who gave us what so we can make out thank you cards to send everyone. We get a lot of very expensive looking wedding presents and many things for Shawn. Apparently my family turned this into a little baby shower for us, too. When we are done opening all the presents; Dad hands Jay an envelope and he opens it. Inside Jay finds an airlines envelope and opens that. He just sits there looking at the open envelope, not moving. Finally he looks up at my dad and starts crying. "We can't accept this." He says. "Yes you can. It's already paid for, and it's un-refundable." Dad says. Jay looks at me and hands me the envelope. I look at what's inside and just about fall out of my chair. My parents have bought us a six day seven night honeymoon in Hawaii leaving in the morning. 'God, how much money have my parents spent on us in the last five months?' I think to myself. I finally find my voice and ask Mom and Dad, "Are you guys sure about this? Why don't you two take these and go?" "Absolutely not; we will have plenty of time to travel when we get older. We want to do this for you two. We know what you've been through this past year; both of you. And if this helps get your minds off of it for a week, then it was money well spent." Dad says. I look back at the tickets and notice it is only for two and ask, "What about Shawn? Who's going to take care of him? I'm not sure I can leave him for that long." I say, now crying myself. "Your father and I, and Bill and Sarah will. We already told them and they are going to be staying here with us until you get back. That way we can get to know each other better." Mom says. I look over at Bill and Sarah and they both nod their heads to me. Almost telling me it will be all right. "God, if someone would have told me six months ago I would have this much trouble accepting an all expenses paid trip to Hawaii; I would never have believed them." I think out load. Jay and I finally get up and hug and thank my parents. Not just for the trip, but for everything they have done for us over the last six months. I still can't believe they did all this for us. As it is getting late, people start leaving. Jay and I say goodbye to everyone as they leave. Once alone except for Jay's and my parents and Gary, Tom and Chris; we head into the house and Dad opens a bottle of expensive looking champagne and pours glasses for everyone. When everybody has a glass he says, "To Zack, Jay, and Shawn Miller; may they remain as happy as they are today for the rest of their lives." "Here, here!" Everyone says, and we drink to the toast. Everyone left takes turn toasting us, and by the time they're finished Dad has poured everyone another glass. I'm really starting to feel light headed when everyone heads out to their hotels. Jay and I finally get out of our tuxes and Mom asks if we are hungry. We both tell her no; that we are going for a walk; just for a little quiet time together. We leave Shawn with them and go for a romantic moonlit walk around the neighborhood with our arm around the others waist. Several of our closest neighbors are sitting on their front porches enjoying the beautiful night and congratulate Jay and I as we walk by. We thank them and move on our way. Once well away from my parents house I say to Jay, "How much do you think today cost my parents?" "I have no idea, but they went way over board. We didn't need all of that; and then the honeymoon on top of it? The only thing I can say is I love your parents; almost as much as I love my own." He says. "Yeah, I know the feeling. And I know your parents would have done the same for us if they could have." I tell him. He doesn't answer, but doesn't need to. I know him god enough by now to know he is not jealous. He is just overwhelmed by the day. "Let's get back; I don't want to spend any more time away from Shawn than we have to before we leave tomorrow." So we turn around and head back to the house and tell my parents that we are going to call it a night. We thank them again for everything they have done for us and take Shawn with us to bed. Jay doesn't say a word about it when I lay him on the bed and strip, then crawl into it cuddling him. He strips and crawls in too. We hold each other with Shawn lying between us and kiss for a long time before falling asleep. Shawn wakes up around three in the morning. I get up and put on my robe and head down to the kitchen with him and make him a bottle. I feed him in a chair in the living room, and when he is done I take him back to the nursery and change him. I place him in his crib and cover him with a light blanket. When I walk back into the room; I can see Jay lying in bed from the street light coming in the window. He has kicked the covers off himself in his sleep and is lying on his back. His magnificent cock is beckoning for me to take it in my mouth. I remove my robe and toss it on my computer chair and head back to bed. I carefully crawl onto it as to not wake him. I want to wake him with my mouth wrapped around his huge member. I take his cock in my hand and begin sucking it. It feels so strange to be sucking his dick while it is soft; I have never done this before. Every other time it was rock hard; and felt so different in my mouth. He stirs in his sleep; and his dick stiffens a little to my sucking. It is hardening steadily as I shove it down my throat. He moans in his sleep and stirs again. I deep throat him and he slowly moves his hand to the side of my head and runs it through my hair. "That's a nice way to wake somebody up. Maybe you should do this more often." He says quietly. His cock now rock hard. I am already hard and I can feel the pre-cum leaking from my cock. I move around and we get into the classic sixty-nine position with me on top. He takes me into his mouth and deep throats me with out gagging this time. He has my whole dick in his throat, and I almost loose it right then; God what a turn on, knowing this is only the third or fourth time he has sucked a cock and he can take my nine inches without gagging. I recover from the initial ecstasy and continue working on his dick. I suck him until he shoots his load down my throat. With him working on my cock, his cum hitting the back of my throat is enough to put me over the edge. I paint his tonsils white with my cum. After recovering for the orgasm, I get off him and lay next to him, with my head on his chest and he holds me. "I love you." He says. "I love you, too." I tell him and we fall back to sleep with him holding me.
