But I wasn't part of it so I don't know. This is just to let you know that this is a STORY! It came from my imagination. The fact that my imagination seems to be oftentimes way south of my belly-button just is the way things are. By the way, this story is dedicated to Wil. Thanks for letting me watch you grow. Anyway, here's a little story about a boy who suddenly has to face some things about himself that he never realized or understood. It's all.... DOUG'S DILEMMA Part 8 by RimPig 2003 I cried myself to sleep, exhausted by not just my emotions but from Ty and I making love to each other before he left. I just kind of 'conked out' face down on the bed, leaving the lights on and everything - not even bothering to take my clothes off or get under the covers. That's how my Dad found me when he came down to say good-night. I woke up when I felt him sit down on the bed and his hand rest on my back. I was startled awake and looked around, hoping it was Ty come back to sleep with me again, but it was Dad. Though I tried to hide it, he had to have seen the look of disappointment on my face when I realized it was him and not Ty. "No, son. It's just me." he said quietly. "Why don't you take your clothes off and get into bed." I wiped off my face with the back of my hand. Dad had to have seen my eyes so red and know that I'd been crying. I stripped off my clothes, not even realizing that I was naked in front of Dad. It had been a long time since he'd seen me that way. "You've grown up quite impressively, son!" he said, smiling as he looked at me. I blushed. "Thanks, Dad. I don't know whether I'm a man yet or not." I said. "Well, I'd say you are. Off to college soon. Maybe to the Olympics. You're gonna have all the things that I never had." Dad said wistfully. "You have a lot, Dad." I said, sitting down on the bed next to him. "Yeah. I do. Five good sons and a wife that I love. Love is a wonderful thing, isn't it, Doug?" he asked. Something about the question struck me funny, almost like Dad was trying to tell me something. "Uhh. Yeah, I guess it is." I said. "Course it can hurt, too. Especially when you can't be with the one you love." he said quietly. I just looked at him, speechless. "You do love him a lot, don't you? Ty, I mean." Dad said softly. I didn't know what to say! How the fuck had Dad figured this out?! "Uhh...why...why do you say that?" I mumbled. "Doug, I could see the way that the two of you look at each other. It's obvious to anyone that knows you that you're deeply in love with him and, unless I miss my guess, he's deeply in love with you." Dad said. I hung my head. "I'm sorry, Dad." I apologized. "What the hell for?" Dad asked. "For being a disappointment to you." I said quietly. "What makes you think you are? Just because you're in love with Ty?" Dad asked. I looked up at him, on the verge of tears again. "Doug, we don't choose who we love. It just happens. If you and Ty love each other and make each other happy, that's all I could ask for." Dad said. "Dad, do you mean that? I mean, you're not angry that I'm...uhh...that I'm..." I sputtered. "That you're 'gay'? No, Doug, I'm not angry with you any more than I can be angry that you have blue eyes, son. People don't decide to be gay. You were born that way. Though you did have me fooled with Paula for a while but I figured out that there was nothing more than friendship there finally." Dad said. "But you were afraid I was fucking her." I said. "Well, Doug, friends do fuck around. Hell, I did when I was your age and younger." Dad said. "You fucked other girls other than Mom?" I asked. "Well...no. It was other guys I fucked around with. Guys on the football team. We used to get our rocks off together. No big thing. Just messin' around, havin' fun." Dad grinned. "That's not what it is for Ty and me." I said. "No, son. I know that. Did you ever mess around with other boys?" Dad asked. "No. Ty is the first guy, actually the first sex, I've ever had. I was too afraid to do anything with anyone else. I didn't want to get a reputation." I said. "Yeah, that can be rough. I know that's why it was other guys on the football team that I messed around with. Most of them were the same way. Only other guys on the team. That way, none of us dared to squeal on the others." Dad grinned. "So what happened. Why Ty? Why this weekend?" "It was incredible, Dad! Ty was so gentle and loving with me. I knew I wanted him almost from the moment I first saw him! I had no idea that it would happen, though. What I didn't know is that Ty had already seen me and wanted me!" I told him. "How had he seen you?" Dad asked, confused. "The tapes of me wrestling that Coach Reston had sent up. Ty had borrowed them from Coach Fallon and watched them." I said, not mentioning that Ty had also jacked off to them! "So it was like 'love at first sight' for you two?" Dad asked. "Yeah, I guess you could say that." I said quietly, wondering if Dad could truly understand that. "It was like that for me and your Mom, too. The minute I laid eyes on her, I just knew that she was the one I wanted. She claims she saw me first, but I don't think so! But it doesn't matter because she says she felt exactly the same way." Dad grinned at me and I grinned back. Yes, he could understand! "Does Coach Fallon know about...well, about you and Ty." he asked. "Yeah, Dad. He does. And he doesn't care. As Ty told me, all Coach cares about is what you do out on the mats. He's not interested in who you sleep with." I said. "Speaking of sleep, I guess it's about time you got some, huh?" Dad asked. I looked down at my empty bed, remembering how it had been filled with Ty the night before. "Yeah. I guess I should. I don't know if I'll be able to, though." I said quietly. Dad reached out and hugged me to him, gently kissing me on the cheek. "I know you're gonna miss him. But it won't be too long before you'll be with him all the time." Dad said. "I know, Dad. It just seems like forever." I said, dejectedly. "Well, what about going to see him?" Dad asked. "What about it? He wants me to come back up next weekend. I told him I'd ask you and Mom if I could. Can I?" I asked. "I don't see why not. And then the next weekend, you have him come down here. And, don't forget! Your graduation is coming up. I'm sure you'll want him here for that, won't you?" Dad asked. I pulled back from Dad's embrace and stared at him in wonder. I couldn't believe how easily he was taking all of this! "Dad, you are the most wonderful father in the entire world! Do you know that?!" I said. "No, Doug. I'm not. I'm just a guy who loves his son - very, very much and a guy who wants nothing more than to see his son happy. Does he make you happy, Doug?" Dad asked. "Oh, yeah! He makes me incredibly happy, Daddy!" I said, throwing myself into Dad's arms again. It wasn't until later, after Dad had gone upstairs after 'tucking me in' for the night, that I realized that I had called him 'Daddy' - a name I had stopped calling him years ago. I realized then that, no matter how old I got, no matter how much I grew and changed, there would always be a part of me that would be 'Daddy's little boy'. A part of me that would always belong to my Dad. The next morning, I got on the computer first thing and sent an e-mail to Ty telling him all about the conversation with Dad and that I would be coming up again for the weekend. I figured that he would probably have the same shocked reaction that I had to what had happened. I went through school that day in a kind of daze. A lot of guys on the team had been really impressed by Ty (as well they should be!) and some of them even expressed their envy to me of my friendship with such an incredible athlete. They were even more envious when I casually mentioned that I would be heading up to the University to spend another weekend with Ty on Friday. When I got home that afternoon, I went down to my room and turned on the computer. There was an e-mail from Ty, expressing his surprise at my conversation with Dad but also saying how much he really liked my Dad. That made me especially happy because I could tell how much Dad liked Ty. It was great to know that the two most important men in my life liked each other. He also said he had a surprise for me this weekend but told me not to ask what it was. He would tell me when I got there. He had already checked both the train and bus schedules and found out that there was a bus that left right after school on Friday and got me to the state capitol quicker than the train would. It was also cheaper. He told me when the bus left and told me he would meet me at the terminal when it arrived. Mom got home early that day. I think she planned it because she was no more in the house than she was telling my four brothers to get to their rooms and do their homework. She said she wanted to talk to me and we went downstairs to my room. I sat down on the bed and she sat next to me, almost where Dad had sat the night before. "Doug, I know about the conversation that you and your Dad had last night. I want you to know that what your Dad says goes for both of us. I'm very happy that you've met Ty. He seems like a very nice boy and it appears he is very much in love with you. I don't have to ask how you feel about him. I can see it in your eyes, every time you look at him." she smiled. I was blushing again! "Now, I understand you're planning on going up to the University to be with him this weekend. I know your Dad told you to invite him down here the following weekend. I want you to know, sweetie, that Ty is welcome here anytime." Mom said. "Thanks, Mom! You're the greatest!" I said, putting my arms around her and hugging her. She hugged me back but then sat back. "There's one thing that I do need to talk to you about, however, and that's your brothers." Mom said. "What about them?" I asked. "I don't know what you've told them already, but your Dad and I feel that it would be better if you didn't talk to them about any of this. At least not for now. We both feel they're a little young to be dealing with this." Mom said. My next oldest brother, David, was only 13. The other three were; Danny - who was 12, Derek - who was 10 and little Denny (or "Dennis the Menace" as I often called him!) who was only 8. "Don't worry, Mom. I haven't told them a thing and don't intend to! First of all, I agree with you that they're way too young to understand. More importantly, I don't want them knowing what's going on in my personal life - even if they are my brothers!" I assured her. "I kind of figured that, but I wanted to make sure. Understand, please, Doug! Your Dad and I are not in any way ashamed of you or the fact that you're gay! Nor are we ashamed of your relationship with Ty. We just don't think that your brothers are really old enough to understand all of this yet." Mom said. "Don't worry, Mom. I promise that Ty and I won't suck face in front of the brats!" I laughed. "Douglas! That's no way to talk about your brothers! Even if they can be brats at times!" Mom laughed. "Don't forget, you were not always the perfect child either!" "Ahh, Mom! How can you say that! I was always a little angel!" I mugged at her, talking in a baby voice. Mom cracked up laughing and reached over and hugged me. "I love you so much, sweetie. I hate the fact that I'm losing you. But I know that you and Ty are going to be happy together. Actually, I'll tell you a secret, but you are NEVER to tell this to anybody!" Mom said. "I promise!" I swore to her. "I'm much rather lose you to a cute and sweet boy like Ty than to a girl. I can just imagine what I'm going to have to go through with your brothers when they start dating!" she giggled. "Yeah, I don't envy you, Mom. And I promise I won't tell anybody - especially not Dad. I don't know how he'd deal with the fact that you think my lover is cute!" I laughed. "Yes. I don't think that's something that your father ever needs to know!" she grinned. "Don't get me wrong, Doug. Your Dad was just as cute when he was Ty's age. By the way, how old is Ty?" Mom asked. "He's just turning 20." I told her. "And you just turned 18 so there's a nice, close difference in your ages." she said. "Yeah, but there's something better than that, Mom." I said. She looked at me like she was afraid of what I was going to say next. "And that is?" she asked, trepidation showing in her voice. "He's just as honorable and trustworthy a man as Dad is." I said. She looked at me for a moment and then a softness came into her eyes. "Your Dad is that, isn't he. Honorable and Trustworthy." she said wistfully. "I'm just happy I found a guy who is like him." I said. "So it is true!" Mom said in wonder. "What's true?" I asked. "Well, I kind of wondered. They say that little boys often marry women like their mothers and little girls often marry men like their fathers. I wondered if gay boys married guys like their fathers as well." Mom said. "Well, I couldn't tell you whether that's true or not in all cases - or even most cases. I know it's true for me because I really love Dad and I guess I do judge every other guy by him." I said. Mom hugged me again. "There isn't a better man on the face of the earth to judge by than your father, Doug." she said. "I agree, Mom. I agree." I said, hugging her back. I thought that the week would drag, what with my anticipation of seeing Ty again, but instead it was Friday, almost before I knew it. I carried a backpack to school that day, filled with what I would need for the weekend and since the bus station was not that far from the high school, I caught a ride with one of the other squad members who had a car. I bought my ticket one-way as Ty had told me that since he didn't have classes until Monday afternoon, he'd drive me home again, spending the night before heading back to the University on Monday. Ty had been right. The bus trip took much less time than the train and when I got off the bus, there he was, leaning against the wall outside the bus terminal, waiting for me. He grabbed me in his arms and hugged me. "I have missed you so much! I must have jacked off four or five times a day thinking about you!" he whispered in my ear as he held me. "Me, too!" I murmured. "Come on. Let's get going." Ty said. We got into his Jeep and headed back to campus. We didn't talk, there wasn't any need to. We were both just basking in the warmth of being together again. However, this time, his hand was resting on my knee again - not on the gear-shift. We ran up the stairs to his dorm room. I didn't figure that Ty was all that excited until I noticed how he fumbled with the key trying to unlock his dorm room - nearly dropping it! He smiled sheepishly at me as he finally got the door open. I went inside and heard the door slam behind me. Almost at the same time, I felt Ty's arms around me and his mouth, licking and sucking at my neck. I turned in his arms and we kissed passionately. We quickly stripped each other and fell onto the bed together. He rolled over on top of me and raised my arms over my head so that he could bury his face in my ripe pits. I moaned at the feeling of his tongue and mouth, licking and sucking at the tender underarm skin. He kissed me again passionately, allowing me to taste my own funk and then moved down to my chest, taking first one and then the other nipple into his mouth and sucking on them until they hardened into dark rose cones. My hands were busy, stroking his head and shoulders, feeling the strength and the warmth of him. He moved down my body, avoiding my cock entirely but snorting and licking at my ball-sack as he pushed my legs apart to bury his face in the 'Y' of my body. I knew what he wanted because it was what I wanted so badly! I grabbed under my knees and lifted my legs, pulling them back to give him total access to my ass-trench. I could hear him moan as my ass-scent rose to his nose. I was the one moaning when I felt his tongue begin its travels up and down my cleft. When his tongue and lips began attacking my hole, however, I couldn't take any more! "Fuck me! Please! Fuck me, Ty!" I begged softly. These were the first words either of us had said since leaving the bus station. "Oh, yeah! I'm gonna fuck you! I'm gonna fuck you all weekend!" Ty promised, looking up grinning from between my legs. "When I take you home, I may have to carry you out of the Jeep because you won't be able to walk! But, then again, maybe I won't be able to either!" I laughed at him, so eager, so sexy, so hot! He got up off the bed and got the lube from the drawer of the night table and then got back between my spread legs. He greased up my hole with the lube, quickly working three fingers inside of me. I had been afraid after a week of not being fucked by him that I might have trouble opening up but my ass seemed to remember clearly how to get Ty's cock back up it! Ty then lubed himself and leaned over me, putting his body between my legs. "Wrap your legs around my waist." he husked as he brought his cock-head in contact with my wrinkled hole. I did as he told me and he rested on his elbows. This brought his body much closer to mine than any of the other positions we had tried. His mouth came down on mine and his hips began to press his cock against my hole at the same time. As we kissed, I could feel his cock slowly filling me up and I moaned into his mouth at the pleasure it gave me to have him inside of me again. My arms were wrapped around his neck and we lay there tasting each other as he let his cock soak in my hole until he could feel that I was sufficiently used to him before he began fucking me. He pulled back and I moaned as his cock slid across my prostate, sending chills of desire through me! He slid back in, moaning into my mouth as his cock felt the tightness of my ass surrounding him. "Oh fuck! I love your butt!" Ty said, looking down into my eyes. "Just my butt?" I smiled. "No, not just your butt. All of you! I can't believe that you're finally here with me! I didn't think I'd miss you so badly! Coach has been yelling at me all week because I can't concentrate during practice! All I can think about is you!" Ty murmured to me. "I've missed as well! Every night, laying in bed, all I could think about was you! How much I wanted you laying next to me, holding me!" I swore. "I dreamed of you fucking me. Please, don't stop, Ty. Fuck me!" "You've got it, babe!" he grinned. His hips started moving again -stronger, harder - until he was ramming my ass with what felt like every bit of his raw, male power! He plunged into me, driving us both into a frenzy. This wasn't making love - this was all-out fucking! We needed to get past this initial hunger for each other, our need to release our seed with each other so that we could make love to each other. Harder and harder, faster and faster he drove into my hole, his cock sliding against my prostate with every movement. I knew I couldn't last. I knew that it was only a matter of moments. I moaned deeply as I felt myself going over the top! "Fuck! Ty! I'm gonna cum!" I moaned. "Yeah, babe! Cum for me! Cum just for me!" he moaned back, looking into my face, seeing the naked hunger there. The look on his face was one of power! He knew it was his cock, his body that was making me cum! He knew that it was all him! I hadn't touched my cock. Only the relentless slamming of his cock up my butt-chute was making me lose it! "Ohhh! FUCK!!!" I screamed as my load shot out between us, spraying our chest and abs. Each slamming of his cock up my butt shot more and more of my load out of my cock. Then I felt it! His rhythm went to hell and he moaned out as he cock began to batter my hole. "Fuck! I'm cummin'! I'm cummin' up your ass!" he groaned and I could feel his cock spasm inside me as he dumped his load of cum deep up my ass! We trembled together in the mind-blowing, body-exhausting orgasm that we shared until Ty collapsed on me and grasp my body in his arms. My legs wrapped tightly around his waist and my arms around his neck. It was like we never wanted to let the other one go! I buried my face in his shoulder and suddenly felt something inside me let go and I was crying! Crying in his arms! It was like all the pain of missing him, all the loneliness of being without him suddenly was released from my body. "Babe, what's the matter? What's wrong?" he murmured to me, deep concern in his voice. "Did I hurt you?" "No! I just missed you so much! I haven't cried since the first night you left but it's just that, being here in your arms again, all of the pain just came out!" I said. "That's okay, babe. I'm here. You're with me again. Let it all out." he murmured and pulled me tighter to him. My tears ended and he kissed them away, actually licking them from my cheeks. "I love you so much, Ty!" I moaned. "I know you do, babe. You know how much I love you, don'tcha?" he asked. "Yeah. I do. I just hate being away from you so much!" I said. "I know, but it's only for a little while. I promise! And then you sleep in my arms every night for the rest of our lives!" he said kissing me passionately. I finally calmed down and he slowly slid down my body, pulling his cock from my just-fucked hole. I raised my legs and he locked his mouth to my hole, licking and soothing the opening while sucking his load from my ass. Crawling back up beside me in the bed, he pulled me to him and deeply kissed me, sharing his load from my ass with me. We fell asleep for a while in each other's arms. When we finally awoke, it was dark outside but the clock said it was only a little after 8. "How about pizza and we rent a movie?" Ty asked. "How about pizza and no movie." I said. "I just want to be with you." "Even better idea!" he smiled. This time, we didn't go to the pizza place, Ty called for delivery. We lay in each other's arms waiting for it to arrive. "Okay, so what's my surprise?" I asked. "Well, actually, there are two of them." Ty grinned. He sat up in bed and turned his back to me. There, on his upper right shoulder the tattoo of a Ram! My zodiac sign which I could look at whenever I fucked him from behind, letting me know how much he loved me. I ran my fingers over it and kissed it gently. He looked over his shoulder, grinning at me. "Cool, huh?!" he asked. "Very cool!" I said. "We're getting you one tomorrow, if you still want it, that is." he said. "Oh, yes! I want it!" I grinned. He turned back around and sat there cross-legged grinning at me. "Now, for the second surprise. Coach got you a job." he said. "Coach got me a job? Where? Doing what?" I asked. "Right here on campus! At the campus bookstore! The guy who runs it is an alumnus and wrestled when he was here at the university. The job pays very well - way beyond minimum wage because they have to follow the salary structure of the university. Getting a job there is usually very hard but one of the wrestlers that worked there is graduating and so Coach got the guy to hold the job for you!" Ty said. "That's great Ty." I said, not especially enthusiastically. I mean, yeah! I needed a job! My scholarship alone wasn't going to make it. I still needed to buy books and have money to live on but this wasn't the type of 'surprise' that I thought Ty meant. I could see him grinning at me and finally figured out that something was up. There was something he hadn't told me yet. "Okay, what else is there?" I asked. "Well, it's just that you really don't understand about the job. You see, the guy who had it is graduating!" Ty said. "Yeah?" I asked. "Don't you get it? Graduation is in June! You need to take over the job THEN!" he grinned at me. It took a moment for it to sink in but I finally got it! "IN JUNE!!!" I screamed, throwing myself into his arms. He hugged me tightly to him. "Yeah, babe! June! Not August! In fact as soon after you graduate as you can get your butt here!" He said. "How about you drive me back here the next day! Mom and Dad want you to come to my graduation anyway." I said, grinning at him. "They do!? Fuck!" he gasped in amazement. "Yep! As far as they're concerned, you're a member of the family now! It's all arranged. We got an extra ticket for you already and everything! You have to come! Then we can drive back here the next day!" I grinned. "Your...your Mom and Dad think that I'm 'family' now?!" he said, his voice filled with wonder. "Yeah, my Mom even thinks you're cute!" I laughed. "Fuck!" he grinned. But I had a sudden throught. "Ty, how can I move here in June. My scholarship doesn't start until August!" I asked. "Oh, that's not a problem. Coach arranged for you to have housing until your scholarship starts. You won't have meals, but food in the cafeteria is really cheap. With your job, you won't have any trouble handling things until the scholarship kicks in. Plus, working in the campus bookstore, you'll get a discount on all your books!" he said. "Where did Coach arrange for me to have housing?" I asked. Ty didn't say anything, he just got up from the bed and walked over to his dresser. He came back with a very small box, like a jewelry box and handed it to me. "I was gonna give this to you later, but now is as good a time as any." he said. I opened the box and there lay a key ring with two keys on it and a silver medallion with a Ram on it. I looked at Ty questioningly. "The one key fits this door." he said, pointing to the door to his room. "The other fits the Jeep." I looked at him in wonder! "I rooming with you? Here?" I asked, almost unable to believe it. "Where else would you room?" he grinned. "Think you can get used to the double bed?" I laughed. We'd slept together like we'd done it all our lives, right from the first night. "I don't want to be anywhere else but with you!" I said. "But, Ty! A key to your Jeep?" "To OUR Jeep, babe. There is no more mine and yours. There's just 'ours'." he said softly, taking me in his arms and kissing me deeply. The rest of the weekend, except for when we went and got my upper right shoulder tattooed with a small lion - the symbol of Leo and my personal symbol of my love for Ty - we never really left the dorm room. Actually, we hardly left the bed, making love to each other over and over again. Finally, on Sunday afternoon, Ty and I left the campus in his Jeep and headed back to my home. Mom and Dad were thrilled to see us and had already given dinner to my four brothers so that it was just the four of us who sat down to dinner that night. Ty told them about the job and my need to move to campus as soon after graduation as I could. Mom and Dad looked at each other and I could see them winking at each other. "I take it that you had something to do with getting Doug this job, Ty?" Dad asked, smiling. "Well...I did mention to Coach that the job was coming open and that Doug could sure use it..." Ty admitted. I had figured he'd arranged the whole thing and now I knew I was right. Dad laughed at Ty's admission. "I take it you couldn't wait for Doug to get there in August. I don't blame you. I understand what it's like to be young and in love." Dad said to Ty and then his eyes drifted over to Mom and he smiled. So there it was, out in the open - the 'L' word. I wasn't surprised but I could see the look on Ty's face. But Mom and Dad were obviously comfortable with us being a couple. They shooed us off to my room soon after. I'm sure they knew that we wanted to be alone and why. When we got downstairs, Ty sat down on the bed and just kind of hung his head. I sat next to him and put my arm around his shoulders. "What's the matter?" I asked. "Doug, I've got to tell you something. There's no chance that you and I will ever be welcomed into my parents home like this. I haven't been home in two years. I have no contact with my parents at all. Basically, my father has disowned me." he said quietly and I could see tears starting to form in his eyes. "Why?" I asked. "Because I was stupid enough to be honest with him. I told him about my being Gay. I told him about Paul. He threw me out, saying he didn't want a 'faggot' as a son. If it hadn't been for the scholarship and Coach, I'd have had no place to go. I'm sorry. I should have told you. I didn't know how your parents were going to react. I can't even begin to tell you how much their acceptance means to me. Oh, I would have loved you without that. But they're being more accepting than I had any right to expect!" Ty said, looking at me. "I know. It kind of blows me away, too! But, looking back, I've never had any doubt that they loved me. They never asked me to be anything other than myself. They loved me - not some idea of who they thought I should be." I said. "Do you know how lucky you are?" Ty asked. "I'm sitting here, looking at you in my bed. Of course I know how lucky I am!" I grinned. That was the end of talking for that night. We made love for several hours and I was exhausted when I woke in the morning. Of course that didn't stop Ty and I from making love that morning either! He left after breakfast and this time, it wasn't so hard. I knew he'd be back Friday night. He did come to my graduation. In fact, he came two days before it and helped me pack for my move to our room at the university. When I walked across the stage to receive my diploma, the entire wrestling squad rose to cheer. But when I walked down the steps on the other side of the stage - there was Ty waiting for me with my Mom and Dad. Ty reached out his arms and I flew into them! Dad got this great picture of me in Ty's arms and our mouths locked in a deep kiss! I think it might have shocked a lot of people who saw it happen, but I didn't care anymore! The next morning, Mom and Dad had breakfast with us and then saw us off. I heard my Dad say talking to Ty as we sat in the Jeep, getting ready to leave. "Now you take good care of my son, mister, or you'll have me to answer to." Dad said, but with a grin. "I promise, sir! I will take very good care of your son!" Ty grinned at Dad. "Ahh...Ty...drop the 'sir'. Why don't you just call me 'Dad'?" My Dad said quietly. I saw Ty look at him and I didn't know if Ty was going to smile or cry. I don' t think he did either! But he finally grinned and said. "Thanks, Dad!" My Dad took Ty into his arms and they hugged. Then Dad kissed Ty gently on the forehead before coming around to my side and hugging me and kissing me on the forehead as well. "You be good to him, Doug. He loves you and he's a good man." Dad said quietly. "I know that, Dad. I only fell in love with him because he reminds me so much of you!" I smiled. Dad looked at me with shock on his face! I guess he never quite figured that one! He grinned though and hugged me again. In the mean time, Mom had hugged and kissed Ty and told him to also call her 'Mom'. She then came to my side of the Jeep. "Are you happy, sweetie?" she asked. "Happier than I've ever been in my life, Mom." I said honestly. "Take care of yourself - and Ty." she smiled. "Don't worry, Mom. I will." I said and then she hugged me a kissed me on the cheek. "You ready, babe?" Ty asked, reaching over and putting his hand on mine. "Ready." I said, smiling at him. We waved good-bye and Ty headed the Jeep back in the direction of the university and our new life together! THE END of DOUG'S DILEMMA I hope you liked the story.
