The Z-1 Ranch P-31
CGW©


 Zack had the four boys hang back for a moment he needed to inform them of
the deal. Okay this is the way it's going to go boys, Eddie; you and Willie
will take over your cabin you will be roommates you keep your room he takes
the spare room, the two boys will stay in a guest quarters for the weekend
leaving Sunday afternoon, they will not be allowed to stay overnight nor
will you be allowed to stay in their quarters, daylight hours contact fine,
after 9 o'clock no contact.

 Vincent and Jeremiah have work to do next week come Friday evening they
will pack a bag and they will be here Saturday morning; starting for two
weeks the four of you will live together as two couples in Eddie's place
for the next two weeks following. This will be a make it or break it event,
after two weeks we'll sit down and discuss everything. If you get along
fine then your stand together as two couples, but if you cannot get along
there will be no coupling. They will see their sons born no problem but
they will not have any contact with you or the child after it
arrives. Celeste will have access to her grandchildren regardless but the
boys no contact with you or the children until they reach transition
age. This may seem very Stern but that's my rules, it's either make it or
break it, now get outta here enjoy the weekend and think about what you've
gotten yourselves into.

 Both young couples walked out of Zack's office in a state of shock. This
next week was going to be hell being apart from one another, but the
following two weeks there would be a great deal of adjustment. Suddenly
you've got someone looking over your shoulder monitoring every move that
you make and they weren't thinking about to Mr. Zach at all it was each
other. They would have to work is a four-person team no independence, they
were relying on each other for their futures.

 Both couples made their way to Eddie's place, it was sparsely furnished
and very plain. Eddie spoke up; I'm sorry that is not fancy but it's only
been me this ever lived here, I've lost so much I'd didn't need anything
fancy. But Jeremiah you need to know the truth about who and what you're
getting involved with.

 When I first transitioned, I was dumb and stupid and I let someone on top
me and he bred me. Z1 is all of ever known in my life and Mr. Z he's been
the best thing that could ever happen to anyone. I was alone because the
father went back to his ranch and I was scared, he set me up in this place
and I started to make it a home for me and the child that I was
expecting. Out of the blue the father filed paperwork through the Council
claiming so custodial care of his child, if I wanted anything to do with my
child, I had to give up everything I knew everything I loved and become his
servant in order to keep my child. Because we hadn't filed any prelim
papers of conservatorship, he had all the rights.

 Mr. Zack tried his best; I won't ever fault him because he fought against
the Council tooth and nail and it almost cost him the Z1. When I went into
labor Mr. Z was the one that delivered my son, he cleaned him up and tied
his cord off he showed them to me and they took a photo for records which I
received a copy of. I wasn't allowed to handle him or nurse him. Mr. Z held
on to me as I had to watch my newborn son being taken from the delivery
room by counsel officer so that the father could take custody. Every month
since then I have mailed off a card to my son told him that I love him and
I wish them the best.

 I never got any back so maybe he saw one after they were delivered by the
Council representatives or the father just threw them away. We have no
bonding but at least I know what he looked like, Mr. Z apologized for not
filling out the proper paperwork because we had no idea and I do not blame
him for the loss of my son. He went by the rules where the child was
conceived and born is for the child belongs, but someone had something on
someone else in order for my child to be taken. I sent them a transition
card last week with all of my contact information and if he ever wishes to
get a hold of me. Jeremiah, there's one thing I won't ever do again, I will
not lose another child to do not even think about trying to take our
children from me.

 Jeremiah's heart was breaking as he held Eddie tightly, I'll guarantee you
one thing no one no one will ever take our sons away. I know it's not the
Genman way but if they even try there will be plenty of individuals 6 foot
under.

 Willie had no idea that this happened, he laid his hand up on Eddie's and
said; this will be our pack protect our children from all wish to harm them
no matter the cost. Vincent had to agree, I have 18 brothers that I can
call and they'll be here soon as they get from the city. Plus, there's a
little Sicilian woman with a wooden spatula they can get very mean and if
someone messes with her grandchildren, I fear for them because she will
have no mercy and they will not find any bodies.

 There came a knock on the door to which Willie answered it was Mr. Zach,
he saw the tears in Eddie's eyes and saw the baby book laying on the
table. He walked over to Eddie and laid his hand on the shoulder; history
will never repeat itself again that much I will guarantee you. May you boys
need to take a few minutes and come on out and finish up the celebration
this is enough of this, it's time to make the tour.

 The whole interactive tour was amazing; townspeople and Genmen near and
far were amazed at the information that had been amassed within the
exhibit, shackles, cages, living quarters and even breeding rooms were all
intact. The new mockup of the original bridge and its viewer screen as it
played the last moments of flight data for the crash were especially
amazing to individuals. But the second section was the most talked about
one, the display a holographic recording of historical fact of a genman
going to the process after conception to birth in Tim the ultimate Genmen
experience was by far their biggest accomplishments. Zach had Emma take a
bow along with Tim. People couldn't believe that there was a real Tim they
thought at the beginning does not knowing he was just a special-effects
program. He posed for so many photographs that it was unbelievable. The
children were off limits even though people asked for photos to be taken
with them also. Tim told them that his children were just that children and
not sideshows. The food court promoting Mr. Zack's famous pancakes were a
sellout hit. People begin to make standing reservations at Donnie's the
ultimate restaurant experience of the Z1. In fact, they were making
reservations to come back to the restaurant on a separate date in the
future. No one could believe that one human could be so determined to bring
the truth out about Genmen. And what was even more amazing was to know the
Genman actually came from the original planet a Georg and they were known
as Goran. Details of the division and split of the planets inhabitants the
second planet was colonized by the warrior race of female rulers was quite
interesting to everyone, no one knew that Genmen males were slaves or even
the fact that Goran males were slaves up to a point. Genmen males were used
as breeders to supply an unlimited workforce for the females that ruled
them.

 Some of these facts were unsettling to a lot of Genmen and humans
alike. Some humans began to express their opposition for the local
government and the way that Genmen were excluded from certain in legal
rights guaranteed to all by the planet charter itself set up by old Earth
alliance. Amongst the crowd there were a lot of educators from the city's
specially invited and several had come up to Emma and Mr. Zack wanted to
know if school to workers could also be made available so that students
could learn the entire history of both humanoid races that populated the
planet. Mr. Zack put all that right in to Emma and Carter Hawthorne's
capable hands.

 The first day of festivities were starting to wind down and Zack looked at
his watch and realized that it was time for their evening meal at
Donnie's. Celeste was the guest of honor, Donnie pulled out all the punches
and made a traditional Sicilian feast to their table.

 Celeste was overcome with emotion; she had not seen some of these dishes
since she was a child due to shortages of food and vegetables upon old
earth. She hugged Donnie's neck and told him that in the city she had all
of her traditional cookbooks that were brought from old earth and Sicily he
was welcome to them since he had showed her respect and honor for her
heritage. She also told him that there would be quite a large party one day
because all of her family would be coming to dine there on traditional
Sicilian dishes. Donnie knew he had made it then, here was an expert
congratulating him on his cooking restaurant reviewers be damned he had the
real thing standing right next to him.

 The ending of the day found Zack in his office making some special notes
for himself, Harold came down and set next to his mate. You did good today;
this is a life's work in dream finally realized by you, congratulations my
love. Zach's mate back as the baby that he carried kicked repeatedly. Zach
laughed; won't be too much longer and this young man of the out in his
special meals. Harold Pat his stomach and said; Yep won't be too much
longer and he'll be meeting his father the first time.

 The whole weekend was packed with festivities, Vincent and Jeremiah did
more tell the boys goodbye but they understood Mr. Zack's rules and they
were going to abide by them they couldn't wait to Saturday morning that
they could be back two very special Genmen to them.

 Zack was woken up early Monday morning, Jarvis said that there was a line
of reporters out front of the Z-1 ranch wishing to gain access to the
library learning center and interactive museum, word had gotten around to
the city and it was the biggest news on the planet. Zach walked out to the
front of the mansion and got into the buggy went to the front gates that
were closed and locked wearing his robe.

 Gentlemen and ladies of the news media I appreciate your eagerness but is
only 6 o'clock in the morning please do us all a favor go back to the
Township dine at Constantine's diner and be back here at 10 AM for a
special guided tour would ask that everyone stay together and not harass
the residents or workers here at the Z1 were building a separate entrance
and to the Learning Center and Museum area so that the public can attend
the new entrance will be open within two weeks, and tell them please bear
with us because we just had our coming home ceremonies over the weekend and
everybody is still trying to get their footing back it was a great event
for those that were fortunate enough to attend they got to see a sign of
Genmen they've never seen. We hope after we take special guided tour that
you will understand a little bit more about the second set of humanoids
that inhabit the planet along with us and can show them kindness and
respect.

 Zack crawled back in the speeder and went to the main house went directly
upstairs and got the shower today was going to be a long day.

 Zack came down from upstairs and found Madison waiting on him, he ushered
him into the office and wrote down a list of names and extensions for him
to call and have these people report to his office here at the main house
ASAP.

 Madison looked at Zack; is everything all right sir I heard there was a
disturbance outside this morning early.

 Not a disturbance just the press, well maybe that is a disturbance but
were all to be on our best behavior and put our best foot forward because
were going live at 10 AM from the center. I've seen cameras and all so that
means there's going to be live feeds of our little project that we've got
out here. No doubt is going to ruffle some feathers and cause a bunch of
history buffs and books to be rewritten, say what you can but you cannot
deny the truth and if it's an embarrassment so be it.

 Madison started making all of the phone calls that were requested by
Mr. Z. Tim was the first one to be there in the office in full blown panic
mode.

 Dad what you mean the press, I thought the present Press juncture was for
another two weeks after the main entrance was built.

 Tim it's like this sometimes our best laid plans must be changed to
accommodate others, between Carter, Emma, you, me, Madison and a few
technicians were going to pull this off and we will blow their minds with
it, then we are going to sit back and laugh at the naysayers.

 I've already been talking to Jake and Ed and we're going to put a 250-room
hotel in the Township on one of our extra pieces of property plus a full
retail center. The shops will be available to local residents first, no big
corporate entities will be allowed leases at any of our properties. Jake
just made another acquisition of land and it's for residential facilities
and local families he able to buy the modest homes at cost plus.

 Father what kind of acreage are we talking about may I ask.

 Well it's divided up to several sections but I think 2500 acres was the
housing area that he figured out along with schools, parks and rec
areas. It will be open to humans, hybrids and Genmen wishing to strike out
upon their own but yet still with the distance of a full-fledged ranch for
their protection. There's one stipulation they can buy from us at what it
cost to build the home if they take care the home and live in the home is
fine if they wish not to live there, they must sell back to the original
owners after a durable period of time at cost plus. There are no taxes or
fees within the subdivisions all electricity will be coming from their
solar power systems on their homes, a communal well will service everyone
for water. There are some areas for farming through an initiative that is
community-based overseen by the Hawthorne Corporation and Hawthorne Ranch.

 Father that's a very ambitious plan, but if anyone can do it you can, look
what you have done with the Z1 since you've had it, nothing short of
amazing. I guess we need to go meet our guest then.

 The whole press juncture went off without a hitch, they were so amazed by
the interactive museum and historical recording of the plight of the
genman. Tim was the biggest hit, yep he was going to be famous. One female
reporter even asked him what he consider fathering children for human
females that desired to have a Genman baby. Tim smiled and respectfully
declined he said his heart was with one person and one person only.

 The week was spent making fine adjustments to all the programs at the
interactive center, and starting on the new entrance immediately. Willie
had a complete report of the new transit system for the ranch, when he
added in the extra revenue that would be brought in by shuttling people
from the new hotel to the ranch, museum, learning center and library it
even made it 10 times more cost-effective. Since it was serving a dual
purpose it was a win-win for everyone.

 Saturday morning rolled around quickly, Vincent and Jeremiah he packed
when Madison came to pick them up, the desk was notified that the rooms
would be available for the next two weeks but they need to be reserved
after that for a day or two unoccupied in case something didn't work out.

 Two very excited young genman were waiting on their front porch when
Madison pulled up. There was no doubt Jeremiah and Vincent were well wanted
in that household. Madison excused himself and the celebration is he need
to check on Benjamin since he was getting close to his due date.

 The guys were very surprised when they opened the door to the cottage as a
whole inside had been redecorated and painted throughout.

 Walked up to William and kissed him gently on the lips, William returned
the kiss and almost ripped his lips off.

 A very gentle Jeremiah walked up behind Eddie and gently wrapped his arms
around him placing his hands up on his stomach, hey daddy how our boys
doing. Eddie looked over his shoulder at Jeremiah, is fine and they're glad
their father is here in the same household as them.

 Everyone was enjoying a quiet calm moment when no doubt a loud knock came
at the door. William spoke up; okay grandfather, come on in I know it's you
I know your knock.

 Zach stuck his head in, would you rather it be me or your dad and all the
kids? You definitely you grandfather, so what you think about the place a
little bit of scrubbing some rearranging don't worry we didn't lift
anything we had help, and granddad the crew over to paint the place the
coming back as soon as we pick out the outside colors.

 Well it looks more like a home, it served you well Eddie but it's time we
live in the here and now, it will be what it will be but we never know what
our future brings.

 Eddie smiled and walked over and hugged Mr. Zack's neck, I'll give it some
more time then I will put the album away, but just a little bit longer and
I promise. Mr. Zack couldn't help but hugged Eddie back; don't worry he'll
be a great big brother when he finds out.

 The next two weeks went fast, faster than anybody thought. Saturday the
last day before the big decision was to be made. Vincent went to talk to
Mr. Zach about final arrangements for them all, Willie and Eddie went to
the vegetable house to pick up some fresh vegetables for a celebratory
meal. Jeremiah told him he would stay home and hold down the fort, had a
few things he wanted to do special for Eddie.

 Someone knocked at the door, Jeremiah thought it was one of the guys
playing tricks on him and told them come on in. Is again someone knocked
lightly at the door, he broke loose what he was doing and got to the door
and pulled it open rapidly.

 At the entrance to the cottage was a young genman no more than 18 carrying
a small bag clutching a piece of paper with something scrawled upon it.

 Jeremiah looked at him and said may I help you; a startled young man
spoke; I'm looking for cottage number 16 and a person by the name of
Edward.

 Jeremiah responded; you got cottage 16 right and I guess you're looking
for Eddie, at least that's what he does by. I'm sorry but he's not here
right now; the young man looked disappointed. But he and Willie will be
back in a little while after they get through with the vegetable house and
a few other places they are looking for specialty items for tonight's
upper. I will help worse my manners come on in that you back down over
there by the chair and have a seat and maybe we can talk about a few things
before they get back.

 The young man looked scared; I'm afraid I made a mistake I better not come
in I just need to go about my business and leave the past in the past.

 Jeremiah wasn't so thickheaded and it hit him like a 2-ton block wall,
this was the visit that Eddie was hoping for but yet dreading at the same
moment. Where's my manners I'm Jeremiah I live here with Eddie and unless
my intuition is incorrect, you're looking for your dad. So, what is your
name young man.

 Young man walked in and set down his bag then had a seat; my name is
Chadwick I recently discovered my birth papers and even though they were
mostly blacked out I had a friend help me discovered that I was born here
on the Z1 and my dad's name was Eddie.

 I didn't know anything about him until one day when my father was out one
of the Council representatives delivered a letter to me and care of my
father. In closing it was my baby picture and a very nice long letter
saying that he hoped this reached me since I should now be the age of
transition. I had one of my best friends right there with me as I tried to
read the letter but he had helped me as I kept on breaking down explained
my entire existence and how we became separated shortly after my birth. I
went into my room and pack my bags put them out in the bushes past the
front porch in case father saw them. I waited to he got home, I didn't cook
anything and he got very upset. I placed the card on the table in front of
him and asked for an explanation I showed him my baby picture that had been
included in the envelope with a letter. He became totally irate; he becomes
so verbally abusive toward me that the neighbors had to come in and
intervene fearing that I might be hurt. I told my father goodbye and I
traveled for two days the transit looking for this place and my dad.

 I don't want to cause anybody any problem, I just want to see him to know
that his real.

 Jeremiah handed the young man a glass of Coolwater and told him to follow
him to the reading area he needed to see something that belonged to his
dad. Jeremiah told Chadwick to take a seat at the table why he retrieved
Eddie's journal to his son.

 Chadwick; in this book your dad has written down every moment, feeling and
emotion that he has had ever since he found out he was carrying you, there
are others here that can tell you more from an outsiders' aspect but these
are your dad's words. Every card that he sent you has a duplicate in here,
every letter that he wrote you has a duplicate here in this book. This is
his heart and his soul and the way he feels about you.

 Here's your Coolwater, now sit here and read it, understand where he was
coming from and how very much you mean to him. Now when he arrives here, we
need to be a little careful because he has newly conceived and is carrying
your twin brothers, our sons.

 Chadwick's mouth fell open when he found out his dad is pregnant with
twins; you mean I'm going to have two baby brothers. You kidding me right
you just pushing my buttons right.

 Hey I'm not going to kid around like that with anyone, you should've seen
me when he went into conception with first one right after we finished in
the second fertilization came about an hour and a half later so that means
he dropped two eggs. You need to read the book.

 Chadwick was busy reading the book when a sudden pounding came at the door
followed by the door opening was Mr. Zach. Jeremiah; I need to let you know
right now there's young man here on the ranch and he's looking for Eddie. I
haven't seen him yet but I bet my boots that it's his son returned. I don't
know if he's mad or he has got questions for Eddie, but our number one
concern is Eddie's pregnancy.

 Mr. Zack turned about two shades of white when the young man came out of
the reading look holding Eddie's private journal and memory book. Excuse me
Sir, but I don't mean my dad anything but good luck and well wishes. I'm
not going to create any problems I just need some answers so far, the first
two passages of this book have already answered most. But I need to do one
thing, may I touch your hands. You might be someone from my past that links
me to this place I'm not sure but I feel an attraction to your voice.

 Zack held his hands out and Chadwick took them within his and closed his
eyes. I feel kindness, tenderness and affection, with a strong protective
nature yet loving. These hands are the first ones that came in contact with
me when I was born, you delivered me. Zack took Chadwick within his arms
and hugged him tightly. Yes; I did, at 11 pounds and 3 ounces you were a
little bit large for your dad and he struggled. I cleaned you up tied off
the record and wrapped you in a waddling blanket. I kissed your forehead
and told you that you were beautiful. I attempted to hand you off to your
dad so that he could least see but after the photo was taken your father
grabbed you and left our delivery area to this day nobody here at the Z1
has ever laid eyes upon you.

 You have turned into a wonderful young man; your dad's can be proud that
we had to be careful is only three weeks along and he doesn't any big
shocks and you'll be a big one.

 Sir; since I was born here on the ranch do, I still have rights reside
here?

 Young man; if you don't have the right to be here no one does your family
has been here for a very long time, generations in fact. You have a few
cousins scattered here and there on the ranch but it's just you and your
dad your grandparents have since passed on.

 The three heard the door handle rattling, Jeremiah knew it was the guys
coming back from the vegetable houses. Chadwick made the book down on the
coffee table along with his copy of his transition card and he stood back
kitchen area out of the way and instructed by Mr. Zach.

  It was the first thing that Eddie saw when he walked into the room was
his book, he dropped all the vegetables on the floor. What the hell is my
memory book doing in here on the table it doesn't come out of the reading
look it is not for anyone to see as I show it to them. He gave Jeremiah the
most scalding look anybody could have received. Then he realized there was
envelope also by the book, you've already got some of the insides coming
out, I keep these things in their special place, every time I send him one,
I put a copy here in this book so that I will never forget. He took a seat
on the sofa grabbed the book and the letter and went to the back he
realized that his copy was still in his memory book. He looked at that
Mr. Zach and Jeremiah with a questionable look upon his face, his mouth was
moving but no words were coming out. A young man come out of the kitchen
and took a seat beside him, he was afraid to look at him because he felt
that he wasn't real.

 Yes dad; I was looking at your memory book so that I could make my own
memories and I brought your card back to show you that no one could ever
forget about you.

 It was a touching moment as Eddie held his firstborn for the first
time. The tears were flowing, and he asked what do I call you I don't even
know your name.

 Dad; my name is Chadwick three weeks ago today I transitioned and
something inside of me tore loose and all I wanted to do was find
you. Three days ago, this letter came from the Genman Council
representative. I intercepted it because it was actually mine, after a
little back-and-forth I picked up my bags and I walked out of the house
headed to the only address I knew this envelope. I had an okay life, he
didn't abuse me, he didn't beat me but he still didn't treat me like a son
should be treated. I don't blame him because he is not capable of love, but
now that I'm back home I'm staying here where I was born and were my family
lives. I hear congratulations are due to you and Jeremiah for my baby
brother's that will be here when they are born. I can't tell you how much I
wanted someone else in my life growing up, and now I'm going to have two
baby brothers to start out with.

 Zack looked around, it's a little tight in here until we can get an
addition built on to the cottage. There's plenty of room to add on and I'll
get with Ben to see how soon they can start; it's going to be a little
tight on the scheduling with everything else we've got going on and with
Benjamin due any second, Ben is waiting on that grandbaby.

 Jeremiah spoke up; Mr. Zach we're in no big hurry we've got to pull out
sofa bed if Chadwick doesn't mind sleeping on it and we can make do until
things slow down for you.

 Mr. Zack; as long as I'm home I don't care where I sleep, as long as I can
sleep in my dad's house and I've been denied far too long.

 Vincent came bopping into the house whistling; he saw the guys all
standing together. He looked over at Chadwick and said; I see you found the
place all right see my directions weren't hard to follow and you were
afraid you'd get lost.

 Willie looked at him; you mean you sent this young man over here and
didn't bring him to his dad's house. What in the hell were you thinking, a
young man searching for his dad and has never seen his dad and you act like
it is no big deal just send him to the house and put him on the front
porch.

 Vincent with this good Sicilian charm walked up to Willie and grabbed him
in his arms, one look and that's all it took, I knew exactly who his dad
was. I don't know why you're getting all worked up must be the hormones, is
that what happens at almost 4 months along, Genman get grouchy and
irritable but damn, that makes you even sexier to me.

 Willie blushed a bright red; Vincent; my grandfather's right there, tone
it down, plus the boy's there what do you think you're doing. we need set a
good example for him.

 Vincent kissed Willie and patted him on the butt as he headed toward their
room to shower, I'll be right back I'm cleaning up because I smell and I
don't want to stink everybody else out.

 Willie stood there flabbergasted, can you believe that Vincent knew all
the time he was here didn't tell no one did more know what just send him to
the house.

 Jake started to laugh at his grandson, you've definitely got the hormone
thing going don't you boy why don't you take it down a few notches go get
you some Coolwater and cool your jets, all that stress ain't doing that
baby no good. Then he gave his grandson a Stern look, Willie walked into
the kitchen.

 Jeremiah motioned for Chadwick to have a seat beside him on the sofa then
invited Eddie to have a seat on his other side. The three of them slowly
went through the memories book, Eddie explained to his son what every entry
into the book meant to him.

 Zack walked in the kitchen and set the table and told his grandson to do
the same, Willie your hormones are out of control and there was no need to
snap at Vincent the way that you did, I suggest you get your ass up from
this table and you ease into that bedroom and you apologize. He was
supportive of the situation that was in front of him, he helped the young
man find his dad without getting involved into a situation that he did not
know how it was to turn out.

 Willie set there with his mouth open, grandfather Zack took Vincent's side
in this situation, he wasn't out of line he didn't get irate he didn't know
what the problem was with everybody. He slowly got up and went to the
bedroom for the showdown with Vincent he knew he would have to eat Crow
just not how much.

 Willie found Vincent setting on the bed drying his feet and he took a seat
beside him, before he could say anything Vincent spoke up. It's not your
fault and I'm not going to blame you; your hormones are causing you to be
irritable without your knowledge. I've seen it many a time in my
sister-in-law's a simple thing will make them explode and they doing know
they're doing it. It just goes along with being pregnant so don't worry
about it, I still love you you're just not human but hormones or hormones
no matter what or who. So, let's make nice and go out I'll help you start
on supper while the three of them catch up on several years.

 Vincent and Willie snuck into the kitchen and started to prepare the
evening meal. Mr. Zack was asked if he would like to attend supper as a
guest but he told Vincent maybe next time, he hugged his grandson goodbye
and eased out the back door.

 Zack walked around to the front and to Madison; you want to stop by and
check on Benjamin on our way across the ranch, because will be outback for
a while.

 Yes; Mr. Zack that would be nice in case he's not okay but doesn't realize
it yet. The twins called me three times saying that he's too nice. Hell, on
wheels for the last week but today he's a baked three cakes and cleaned the
house twice.

 Zack chuckled; well young man I think we need to go to your place pick up
Benjamin and take him directly to the clinic because he is about to go into
full blown labor at any time.

 Mr. Zack he can't not yet, mama Celeste is supposed to be here to help him
bring this one into the world. He said; he can't do it without her and no
matter what he's not going to do it without her.

 Well; I need to make a call find out where Carter is in the city and have
him stop by little Sicily and pick up a special guest get her out here is
not going be long for Benjamin. Zach made the phone call and Carter
definitely understood what Mr. Zack was talking about and told him he was
going to drop everything and headed home with Celeste in tow.

 45 minutes later Carter pulled up to the doors of the clinic, he stepped
out when around the passenger side and helped Celeste out of the
runner. Celeste made her way into the clinic and headed to the labor and
delivery section.

 Celeste walked into the delivery room three only to find Benjamin walking
around, he wasn't in the chair where he belonged and he was in labor. He
looked up and saw her, I'm so glad are here, I wouldn't have this baby
without you, it's starting to get a little painful.

 Celeste in her spicy way popped Benjamin on his arm and told him to get
his ass in the birthing chair. A Big boy like you and you're afraid to push
out a little baby, shame on you. You could hurt the baby being such a big
cry baby yourself.

 I'm sorry but my dad's not here to help me and you weren't here yet so I
decided not to have him.

 Well I'm here, Madison is here waiting beside you, Lex is here, now get
your ass in the delivery station and sit down we're going to have us a
baby.

 Benjamin had just taken a seat in the delivery station when his first
major pain hit him in his water ruptured. He came wide-awake, and started
moaning and groaning and crying that it hurt. I change my mind I can't do
this; I can't do this I have to get out of this chair, I'm not gonna do
this.

 Wrong young Benjamin, you are doing this, so keep your ass in that seat
right here with your man holding your hand and you pay attention to Madison
he will help you breathe through the pains. After about 30 minutes of cry
and moaning and claiming he couldn't do it, he had to stop. Celeste that
had enough and popped him upside his head. A big strong young man like you
not pushing that baby out, my last one weighed 19 pounds, look at me I
weigh 98 pounds soaking wet, you think that did my oonie any good, Vincent
was so big he wrecked me but I still push him out. Now the next time you
have a pain you push and you push hard or I'll pop you upside your head
again.

 The next pain started coming on and Celeste yelled, push hard push dammit
push, Benjamin bare down and pushed as hard as he could. As the baby's head
began to emerge, he started to hyperventilating, Celeste quietened in him
down and made him take deep breaths.

 Look at the monitor look at your baby's head, it's come almost halfway
out, that's why you feel funny back there. You are having your baby, now
the next time you have a pain, you push and bare down again. And if you
keep it up, he will be here before you know it and it's all over no more
pain.

 Lex was taking care of everything as the baby slowly began to emerge, the
natural rhythms of the body were expelling the child.

 Now Benjamin one more push and Cole will be here, next pain push. I want
to see my godson.

 Benjamin grunted slowly Cole slid from his body, Lex was very quick about
cleaning up the baby up tied off his cord. Celeste was standing by to take
the baby from him so that she could handed him off to his father and then
to his dad. Celeste made a comment, he's a big boy going to make many
Genmen happy he will, just give him time.

 Madison was speechless as he looked into the face of his newborn son,
gently he placed him upon up on his dad's right nipple so he could
nurse. Benjamin was overcome with emotion and gently embraced his son.

 Lex was all smiles, well Benjamin you did wonderful, Cole is perfect he's
a little bit larger than normal and it 29.2 pounds almost a record.

 Benjamin was speechless for a moment; how much did you say he weighed.

 Celeste smiled and touched his face, 29.2 pounds young man and you did
wonderful, now you might be a little tender for a couple of days but
believe me they all go back to what it was before.

 Lex came in and checked on him and Cole, and said; that he needed to take
Madison & Cole to the other area so that he could run a blood test, take
Cole's prints and his photo. Benjamin replied; okay he's finished nursing
so yes you can take them and do what you need to then just bring him back
I'm sure the grandparents will get here eventually. Celeste and Zack said
they would stay with Benjamin.

 After about 10 minutes Benjamin was resting comfortably when the door flew
open in walked Ben and Earl. Ben checked on his son who was lying on his
side covered with a blanket; are you okay we just got the messages that we
need to come here that you've been brought to the clinic.

Benjamin smiled told his father he was okay. And was fixed to say something
else when Ben cut him off.

 Boy I'm a to you right now you think you can't scare me like this here
when you get ready to have this baby you need to let us know the first time
you have a pain please get in contact with us, Earl and I were at the other
site looking over the housing areas looking over the new clinics over there
for an outreach program for the humans. We've been very busy but is not we
don't want to talk to you or Madison everybody's busy so you need to let us
know when you're going to have this baby.

 About that time Madison came waltzing into the front door holding their
son; well would you look at that your grandparents finally decided to show
up after everything is finished, isn't that a great welcome to the world by
your own grandparents. Madison wasn't let anyone live this down.

 Earl and Ben both stood there with their mouths open not uttering a word.

 Benjamin straightened up; father and granddad and grandfather, I would
like to introduce you to the newest member of our family Madison Cole
O'Malley, we are going to call him Cole. So, it looks like you two are the
ones that missed out on everything but don't worry Lex made sure that you
have a video to watch and started to laugh.

 Earl walked up to his son and asked if he could hold his first grandson,
Madison handed the baby over to his dad as Ben looked on waiting for his
own chance to hold the boy.

 Zack and Celeste were giggling and snickering, when Zack blurted out; yes
snooze, you lose in this business. But even Zack's witty comment couldn't
keep the two from enjoying their grandson.

 Earl made a comment that the baby weighed a lot.

 Celeste smiled; it was my joy to bring the 29 lbs. 2 oz. young man into
the world along with Lex, Zach and Madison. Benjamin hit a couple of rough
spots but we talked him through it and he delivered like a champion that he
is, must be something in his bloodlines.

 Celeste's comment made Ben even prouder his son, he was going to make sure
that there was one heck of a celebration.

 Lex cleared his throat; we may need to take this somewhere else because we
have a little situation here, there a lot of people are wanting to see this
young man here. Seems like he has a whole lot of uncles and a future aunt
that are just biting at the bits to say hello.

 Zack walked over and opened the curtain on the viewing window, and Lex was
right the whole hallway was full. For some reason Cole had a full audience
as did Madison and Benjamin. Talk about two very proud parents these kids
were going to be okay.
