Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2003 17:09:40 EST From: TjLINY@aol.com Subject: my life with pete 5 The boys started to talk about college; it made us happy to see them making plans for the future. The boys had good grades and had decided to both go into the same career, they wanted to get into law. Oh my bankbook. But they were good students and we felt they would do well. Pete was our scholar he know what to do to get the boys ready and what to get them to study. Pete had turned the spare room into a classroom for the boys. Pete worked them hard 4 times a week. He got them on the right track. The boys told use that they wanted to have their own law firm, they wanted to be partners. Mikes parents supported them as well. Helen and Dan were a good family despite Dan seeing a man on the side from time to time. Pete and I had more time with each other, as the boys got older. We had made a great family, both Pete and I had no other family, they did not want us around them. Well, that's okay; I'm pleased how my life was and not change a thing. Pete and I had many good friends. Mike became ill, he went to the doctors and they did not know what was wrong with him, they did every test in the book. He started high fevers and infections, it was not aids. Mike had to be put into the hospital, tom never left his side. Tom was wearing himself down with worry. I made him come home with me while Pete stayed with mike. Pete promised tom he would call the second anything happened. After 4 days in the hospital they found out that he had a very rare virus, so new it had no name yet. But they were able to treat him. Helen and Dan took mike home and invited tom to stay with mike. They knew tom would never stand still for being kept from his mike. Tom would do everything for mike for the next week, so mike could get his strength back. Pete and I both knew how they were feeling; we had been there ourselves. After mike was well and started to be a fixture around the house again. Everything was back to normal. Tom and mike knew that they would get all kinds of paperwork protecting their rights as soon as they were both 18. We discussed what to do at great length. Tom and mike are off to college together after having all legal papers made out. They would never have anyone else in their lives. Pete and I are now home alone, having the greatest sex. We have gotten through raising a teenager, and we were proud of him. I think we did well with tom. I really hated to see them go off to college, I miss my little chats. I see Pete kind of quiet at times; I know he misses our son. We both do. Well I had a surprise for Pete. Since we were both still young, I wanted to see if we could find another boy to adopt. But I wanted to tell Pete in a special way. A few days later I asked Pete to run up to the store for me while I finished dinner, while he was out I set up a very romantic scene for my man. When Pete arrived he came in and found me waiting for him at a candle lit table. Pete was all smiles, I took him to the table and seated him, and I served him dinner. When we were done I told mike to wait at the table while I did something. I returned to Pete in a robe, I took him by the hand and lead him to our bedroom; it was flooded in candle light with some soft music in the background. I sat on the bed facing my man, I slide back and layed down, I gave Pete that look, I told him, Pete, I want another son. Pete just smiled at me as he dropped his clothes to the floor. Pete made love to me all night; it was the most passionate lovemaking ever. Pete whispered in my ear, yes, I want another child also. Pete made me happy by agreeing to adopt again. In the morning, late morning we called on Eric and matt and told them that Pete and I wanted to adopt another child. They just smiled at us; you really are going to do it again. We both told them we like being dads and wanted to see if we could find another boy to help. It was now our turn to get a surprise, they too were going to adopt and that they just visited with a boy they wanted to give a home. Matt and Eric saw what it was like with tom and us. And saw us after tom went off to college. They knew it was something they wanted to do, and matt's mom wanted a grandchild. Eric called the worker, it was the same one we had 5 years earlier. She started to laugh she already had a boy for us, she told Eric that when she heard how we were taking toms going away, she was sure she would be hearing from us. We all were in the family way now. Pete and I are going to classes with matt and Eric. We arranged to meet with our worker. She was happy to see us again. She told us she knew it was right for tom to be with us and she was so proud of tom, we promised her that we will have tom stop and see her when he was home from college, it pleased her to hear that. Well boys, let's talk about your new son Steve. He was also gay and just turned 13. We decided to meet him, so it was set up. We met him and he was a small boy and very shy. We went to mc d's to chat, he finally asked us if we knew about him. Pete told him we knew everything about him as he knew everything about us. He smiled at Pete, and slowly got closer to him. We chatted some more, he asked about tom. And our home. We had to take him back all too soon. We all agreed to move forward, we liked Steve, and he like us, but I think he is attracted to Pete, like tom was with me. We are now having weekend visits. Matt and Eric called us to see how things were going. They too were having weekend visits with their 12-year-old boy. We decided that next weekend to get together and let the boys meet. I had called tom at school after Pete and I decided to adopt. I told him he was going to have a brother, that boy let out such a yell of joy. He was happy we were going to get him a brother and we would not be alone. Tom told me he was sad for Pete and I, he knew how much we were missing him. I told him it was his fault because he made us happy and now we were missing him. Tom promised me to come home first chance to meet his new brother. Steve was given the room next to toms. We helped him decorate it his way, to make it his room. The next week matt and Eric brought over their son Taylor. He was a nice boy; he liked having Steve as a friend. The boys stayed out by the pool most of the day. While us older folk got a BBQ ready for the afternoon. We enjoyed seeing the boys get along. After the BBQ Steve asked if Taylor could go in his room and play. It was ok with us, so we told them to go and not make a mess. Pete and I, matt and Eric all decided to take a dip into the pool, as usual they did not have their Speedos, so once again it was skinny dipping time. We older guys become like teenagers in the pool. We had a great time dunking each other and playing a little grab ass. We all headed to the hot tub, were we sunk into a quiet bliss of passion with our partners. Matt and Eric made a great couple, they too were right for each other, they complemented each other. They had what I had with my partner in life Pete. After an hour or so, the boys came out by us. Wanting to join in. we were all naked in the hot tub. When tom was home we never hid our nudity but never pushed it, tom had scene us naked many times, as we saw him. It was natural with a house full of males. Pete and I had no problem with the boys joining us, but we had no idea what matt and Eric thought about it. We asked them if it was ok for Taylor to join us. Matt told me that it was fine, even though Taylor never saw them nude he was sure it was only a matter of time, so why not. So I told them they could come in, the two boys were wearing their swim trunks from earlier. As the two approached us they stopped dead in their tracks when they saw we were all nude. Matt told them it was up to them if they wanted to join us, and if they wanted to be nude also. The two stood looking at each other not sure what to do. The whispered to each other and they looked at us, next thing we new they stripped off their suits and joined us. Eric and matt had Taylor sit between them and Steve between Pete and I. We all explained to them it was natural, though we did not want them to think they could do this all the time. We needed to explain what was proper. They understood what we told them. I'm sure when tom found out Pete and I will hear him complain we did not have him join us naked. I guess Pete and I are getting somewhat mellow. Steve enjoyed being with his dads, he held Pete and I by the waists while in the hot tub. Pete and I put our arms over him onto each other's shoulders with a kiss thrown in every now and then. Matt and Eric are a very loving couple also, they showed their love for each other freely, like we did. That's one of the reasons we all got along. Pete and I intended to raise Steve as we did with tom, with love, honesty, and compassion for others. Once again Pete was the homework person. I think he really enjoyed sharing his knowledge with Steve and showing him how to work things out, Pete taught him great study habits. Unlike tom, Steve was not into sports very much, but he loved science and biology. Pete had to admit that it was not his strong subjects, but it was Eric's. So when there was something Pete could not handle, Eric came to our rescue. Steve liked Eric a lot and he picked up on a lot from him. I guess if you like the teacher the learning is easier. Eric told us this kid is a natural to be a doctor one day. Oh no, more money.........med school$$$$$$$$ We promised to do right by our two sons, even though Steve was not legal yet we still thought of him as our son. One very stormy night, Pete and I were making mad love to each other; I like doing it in thunder and lightning. It was a bad storm, but I loved it, it's the kind of night where I was the bottom having Pete pound me into tomorrow. While we were at it, I happened to look up and there was Steve standing at the door scared shit. Damn, Pete pulled out of me so fast. Pete jumped up and grabbed a sheet, then grabbed Steve. He was trembling, we put him in bed in between us and assured him he was safe. We did not mention to him the closed-door rule at that time. Steve settled down and fell asleep, soon after so did Pete and I. In the morning I grabbed my robe leaving Steve with Pete. I wanted to take a look around and see if we had any damage around the house. When I returned to the bedroom, I found Steve sprawled out on my side of the bed and my loving Pete just starting to stir. I walked over to Pete and quietly and slowly lowered myself onto his warm smooth body, we never finished what we started last night and it left me wanting Pete like I never did before. I kissed and hugged my man, feeling his soft lips with my tongue. I wanted him, but could do nothing more. Steve started to stir; he rolled over and slowly opened his eyes to Pete and I watching him. He smiled and moved over to us kissing Pete and I, telling us how scared he was of the storm. And he was sorry for not waiting for us to reply to him at the door. With all the noise in and out of the bedroom there was no way we were to hear him at the door. We just left it, as we never heard him because of the thunder. He just looked at me and gave me a smile, that little devil. Steve was a lot more aware of what went on in our bedroom than tom was, we think. Well, tom did not let on of what he knew. Steve on the other hand would always give us that smile when he knew better of what Pete and I were doing. Steve was well over his shyness with us and was not afraid to ask about gay sex, tom us to kind of stumble over his questions. We always tell them the truth. But never add more than what they asked about. Steve and Taylor were both going to be at court the same day to be made our legal sons. We all met at the courthouse, matt, Eric and Taylor were first on the calendar, and we were second. We had the same judge. He came into the courtroom and come over to the tables to greet us all. He told Pete and I that he was told of tom's achievements and he was so glad that he agreed to place him with us. He told us that at the very begging he wondered how two gay men and a gay son would make out. He told us he had social services see what was happing over the years. We were the first gay couple he placed a child with and he wanted to see if it was working. The judge was very happy how it turned out, and was very happy to see our friends also adopting a child. He felt secure in knowing it would be a good thing for all concerned. The judge went to the bench, he had matt, and Eric and Taylor come to the bench and approved their request for adoption. Then it was our turn, we approached the bench the judge asked Steve if there was anything he wanted to tell him. Steve looked the judge in the eyes and said our honor, my dads love me and I love them, please let me stay with them were I'm wanted and loved like I never had in my life. Tears came to Pete and my eyes, we had no idea he was going to say anything, but that's Steve not afraid to open his mouth. Pete and I both put our hands on his shoulders. The judge told Steve that if that's what he wants, he would have to do just that. The judge gave Steve a big smile and approved the adoption making him Steve parries. Yes, you know it. We went to Disney world all six of us. This time I did not call in any favors. We just had a wonderful time in the gran Floridian. When we returned we found tom and mike waiting for us. Tom only met Steve once, when we went to see him at college. They hit it off right away. When Steve saw tom, he ran to him and said tom you're my big brother now. Were legal! I always wanted a brother said tom; dads you made me happy to have a brother. C'mon bro lets get you unpacked said tom. And off went our two sons, with mike right behind them. Damn that sounded good. I held Pete around the waist watching our sons go off to the bedroom to unpack. Comments to tjliny@aol.com
