Once again special thanks to Miguel Sanchez for the inspiration and the patience to help a new writer come into his own We both stripped down to our underwear and played around with each other a little bit. Cody pulled my underwear down and dropped to his knees and attended to my now erect penis. He sucked on it and licked it until I couldn't hold back anymore and shot my sweet boy juice down his wanting throat. I then did the same to him and we got into bed and kissed each other good night and cuddled until we both fell asleep. The next several days flew by as I fell into the daily routine at the Weaver house hold. On the weekdays Cody and I were expected to be up by 6:30 and have a bath and be dressed and downstairs by 7:00. We would grab a quick bite to eat and get our bikes out of the garage and bike to school. We would get home around 3:30 in the afternoon and it was upstairs to do homework before we could play video games or watch TV. Once we were done with our homework we could go out and play until about 6;00 or so and then we had to be back in for dinner. After dinner we would take a shower or a bath and get dressed in pajamas ready to settle in for the night. Lights out were around nine or ten on a school night depending on what was going on. The week seemed to fly by so quickly and the next thing I knew it was the night before we had to go to court so that the Weavers could finalize my adoption. As usual Cody and I followed the nightly routine and once we were done with our baths we got dressed in our pajamas and went downstairs to talk with mom and dad. Dad was sitting on the couch and mom was on the love seat that was next to the couch. I sat next to mom and Cody sat next to dad as he talked to us. "Well it's the night before the big day boys. I know you are both nervous about tomorrow but I am pretty sure that everything will work out for the best and hopefully at the end of the day tomorrow Cody will have a new brother and this family will have a new addition to it. Mike, in the past week, you've become another member to our family and I see no reason why we shouldn't adopt you into our family. Cody has been an only child for the past ten years of his life. His mother and I have tried to have another child so that he could have a sibling to play with but unfortunately that hasn't been the case. I hope that you will take us as your parents and I already know that you will take Cody as a brother." He finished. The tears welled up in my eyes as I thought back over the events that led up to this moment. I missed my father dearly and I wished that he was still alive. My mother had died when I was younger so I had never really gotten a chance to know her but I still missed her as well. These two people had given me a new home and a new chance at a normal life (whatever that is) as the tears now began to fall. "Mr. Weaver I don't consider you to be just Cody's father anymore. You took me in when I had no one else and for that I will forever be grateful. I consider you to be my father." I turned and looked at Mrs. Weaver. "Mrs. Weaver I feel the same way about you as I do about Mr. Weaver. I consider you to be my mother and I would not trade you two for anything else in the world." Cody looked over at me smiling then walked over to me. I put my hands in his and looked deep into his blue eyes. "You are the only person who has ever shown me any kind of attention other than Mom and Dad. You were the only one who ever showed any interest in me at school and I see no reason as to why I wouldn't want to have anyone else as a brother. I love your Cody and I always will. You have my heart and that means more than anything in the whole wide world to me." I had to get control of my emotions. Tears were flowing harder and now I had the hic cups. Cody went into the kitchen and brought me back a glass of water. "Here love, drink this. Maybe it'll help get rid of your hic cups." I chugged the whole glass of water then held my breath for as long as I could. When I finally exhaled, the hic cups were gone. I sat back down and looked at my family. "I have been through a lot in my short life and I don't know if I will ever be able to thank you enough for what you have done for me. I hope that I will be able to return the love that you have shown me by allowing me to come here and live with you. You know that I love Cody and I want to spend the rest of my life with him. You haven't taken him away from me and you have accepted me for who I am. I would be privileged to be a member of your family.' I got up and put my arms around Mrs. Weaver and then Mr. Weaver. I saved Cody for last and when I got to him I wrapped my arms around him and kissed him passionately on the lips. He returned my kiss and got up and took my hand and led me upstairs to the bedroom. Once we got up there we both got undressed and got into bed together. Cody kissed me tenderly on the lips and snuggled up close to me and whispered in my ear. "You are mine and no one else's. I will never let anything happen to you. I'm sorry about having sex with Eric. From this day forward, I will always be true to you." I lay there while Cody snuggled even closer to me and finally I heard his breath slow down and I knew that he had fallen asleep. I lay there and watched him sleep for a little while before I finally drifted off to sleep myself. That night I had a dream where Cody and I were in a field playing and my mother and father were there watching us. I stopped playing and looked up and saw them looking at us. They didn't say a word just smiled and nodded their heads as if to say "We know and it's ok with us." I awoke the next morning with a wet pillow where I had obviously cried in my sleep. Cody was still asleep with a smile on his face. I got up and used the bathroom and then went back into the bedroom where Cody was sleeping so peacefully and gently shook him until he turned and looked at me with sleepy eyes. "Time to wake up my love." He got up and went to the bathroom and came back in the room and threw on some underwear and a shirt and headed down the stairs. I continued to lay there lost in my own thoughts until Mr. Weaver came up and stuck his head in the door. " Are you alright son?" I looked at him and smiled nodding my head letting him know that I was ok. He left the room then I got up and went into the bathroom. I got into the bathtub and started the water. I turned the hot water on to a temperature I could bear and then stretched out as the tub filled up. Once he tub was full I relaxed thinking about everything. Cody knocked on the door and came in. "Mind if I join you?" I nodded my head as he shed his clothes and stepped into the tub sitting across from me. We relaxed there for a good ten minutes or so and then washed each other. We got out of the tub and got dressed and then headed downstairs. We stuffed ourselves with French toast and bacon that Mrs. Weaver had prepared. After we were done and helped with the dishes we all went outside and piled into the Hummer. The drive to the courthouse was a quiet one. Everyone seemed to be lost in their own thoughts during the drive. We pulled into the parking garage, found a parking spot then got out heading into the courthouse lobby. The lobby was very spacious with a desk in the middle of the floor that had a security guard sitting behind it. There were two metal detectors beside the desk and we each had to take everything out of our pockets and go through them to make sure we didn't have any weapons. We got into the elevator and headed up to the second floor which was Family Court Services then sat in the waiting room while we waited for the bailiff to call us into the courtroom. We didn't have to wait long before a uniformed officer came into the waiting room and let us know that the judge was ready to see us. We got up and headed into the courtroom. The courtroom looked just like the ones that I had seen on TV. There were about six rows of benches on either side of the courtroom with an aisle that split the middle of them. In front of the room there was a rail and two tables apart from each other and at the front of the courtroom was the Judges bench. Judge Long was a middle aged man with graying hair. He had a no nonsense look in his eyes. "Alright Mr. Bailiff, what have you got for me?" The bailiff picked up the top file then handed it to the jurist. "Docket number A-4537 is the contested adoption of one Michael Allen Lee by Mr. Tom Weaver and Mrs. Elaine Weaver. This adoption is being contested by Paul Burlington who claims to be said minors last living blood relative." "I see and who will be representing Mr. Lee in these proceedings?" The judge asked. A man walked into the courtroom at a quick pace. "Nicholas Jones representing the minor, Michael Lee, Your Honor." "Mr. Jones my court starts at nine o' clock sharp please do not make a habit of this in the future." The judge said admonishing him. "My apologies your honor the traffic was horrible this morning." He said. "Ok Mr. Jones is here now where is Mr. Burlington's council?' The judge asked. "I will be representing myself your honor." Mr. Burlington said. "Very well then but I want it made clear that I wont stand for any nonsense in my courtroom. Let's go on the record." He said. "I have here in front of me a petition for adoption that was filed by Mr. Jones on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Weaver. I also have here a motion that was filed by Mr. Burlington contesting the adoption stating that he is the last living blood relative of Mr. Lee here and should be granted parental rights. I don't want this to take any longer than it has to. Mr. Burlington why may I ask are you contesting this adoption?" He asked. My Uncle stood looking at me briefly then looked at the judge. "If it pleases the court, I have only the best intentions in adopting Michael and raising him as if he was my own. My brother's unfortunate and sudden demise left Michael as an orphan and I feel it is my responsibility as his uncle to raise him and keep him in the family." "Ok now Mr. Weaver if you would please state why you want to adopt Michael. He is not related to you and from what I understand had never met you until about four months ago when he came home with your son. I am wondering what intentions you have." The judge said. "Your honor my wife and I have been trying for several years since Cody was born to have another child so he wouldn't have to grow up alone and we have been unsuccessful. When Michael's father was killed in an accident, he didn't have anywhere else to go. He came back to our house and stayed there for the night. He was then placed in foster care for three months the following day by social services. I am wondering why Mr. Burlington has just now stepped forward to take custody of Michael. Certainly he's had plenty of time to do so while Michael was in foster care." Mr. Weaver started. "We have raised Cody in a loving and caring home and if the court would allow us, we would like to bring Michael into our family to continue doing the same thing." The judge sat there and stroked his chin with his hand, "Michael would you come up here and sit next to me please?" I got up out of my chair and walked up to the bench and sat down in the chair next to the judge looking up at him. He smiled which allowed me to relax. "Michael I am sorry for everything that you have been through in your life what with loosing your mother and then witnessing the accident that killed your father. I want to ask you who would you want as your parent or parents?" I didn't have to think about that. "I have only met my Uncle Burlington one time. The reason I haven't seen him more, is because he has spent most of my lifetime in prison. I met Mr. and Mrs. Weaver about four months ago and they have showed me nothing but love and care since that time. They came to the group home and got me and took me home. I like Cody a lot and I want to have him as a brother." "Very well you may step down now Michael." The Judge said. I walked back over to the table where Cody and Mr. and Mrs. Weaver sat. "After having spoken to Michael I am ready to make my ruling." Just then my uncle shot up. "Not so fast." Judge Long banged his gavel so hard it made me jump. "Mr. Burlington, I warned you about not putting up with any nonsense from you. If you want to represent yourself then I expect you to conduct yourself properly." Uncle Paul was staring at the judge with his mouth hanging open. "I apologize, Your Honor but I would like to ask him some questions?" I started shaking then I felt Dad wrap his arm around me leaning close. "Just relax son, Mr. Jones and the judge will look out for you." Judge Long motioned me to come up. "It's alright Michael, come sit in this chair inside that box." My uncle was staring at me as I came through the gate in the rail then sat down. I don't know why but he made me real uneasy. "Do you think family should raise you?" "I, I guess so," I said softly. My uncle smiled when I said that. "So then I'm better suited to raise you." Mr. Jones stood. "Is that a question or a statement Your Honor?" Judge Long didn't seem happy. "Ask a proper question Mr. Burlington." My uncle started coming closer then stopped when I saw the judge stare at him. "Michael, since I am family would I be better suited to raise you than a total stranger?" I shook my head. "You're the stranger." "I'M YOUR UNCLE!" He started shouting then Mr. Jones stood up at the same time Judge Long started banging his gavel. "Order, Mr. Burlington you will lower your voice immediately. If I have to warn you again about your conduct, I'll make my ruling without hearing from you any further. Do I make myself clear?" I could tell my uncle didn't like what the judge told him because he went back to asking questions. "I'm your uncle, not a stranger so wouldn't I be better suited to raising you?" Again I shook my head. "You might be my uncle but the Weaver's are more family to me than you are. I've seen you one time in my entire life. Why were you in prison?" "That's none of your business," he spat at me. "Now answer my question." I saw Mr. Jones smiling nodding his head. "Up until today, I wouldn't have known you if I fell over you because of how long ago it was when I last saw you. You never once saw me when I was in that group home and now you say you're my uncle. I don't know if you could be best for me or not." I could tell he didn't like my answer but this time he didn't shout. He turned around and sat back down. "That's all I have." Mr. Jones stood. "Your Honor, if it pleases the court, I'd like to examine Mr. Burlington." I had just made it back through the rail when he got mad again. "WHAT? I don't have to answer his questions." Judge Long banged his gavel and then pointed it at him. "I'll give you a choice sir, you can answer his questions or you'll answer mine. " He started looking between the Judge and Mr. Jones then stomped over to the chair I was sitting in. "Fine, I'll answer any questions you have." Mr. Jones walked up to him then rested his arm on the box. "Mr. Burlington, why were you in prison?" He shook his head. "I'm not answering that." "If you want to be considered as a suitable parent for Michael, you'd better. Remember sir, you're the convicted felon." My uncle's face started turning red and I could see the veins sticking out on the side of his neck. He started looking back and forth then just sat there saying nothing. After waiting a few minutes Judge Long banged his gavel. "Mr. Burlington, take your seat." He stood up then glared at Mr. Jones. "Fine Judge, I'm the only real family that kid has. I'm better than a bunch of strangers." Mr. Jones stood in from of him. "We'll let the Judge decide that." "I'm ready to rule now," Judge Long started. "It is unfortunate when a child loses a parent. The loss and pain they carry can not be understood by anyone but them. For a child to lose not one but two parents is a tragedy. Mr. Burlington I have looked over your petition for custody and nowhere in it do you have a home study or any form of documentation that you can provide a stable home for Michael. Being a blood relative doesn't mean that you have guaranteed custodial rights. I do not like having to take a child from his blood family however there is no precedent that has been set forth in this court by you that makes me feel that Michael would be happy or safe in your home. You have also refused to openly tell us why you spent time in prison so therefore it is the decision of this court that Mr. Tom Weaver and Mrs. Elaine Weaver are the legal adoptive parents of Michael Allen Lee and he will henceforth be known as Michael Allen Weaver. I hope that you will have a happy life together. This court is adjourned." He said as he banged his gavel. I got up and hugged my new Mom and dad and Cody. I finally had a family that loved and cared for me. I walked over to my Uncle and stuck my hand out. He looked at me but turned and walked out of the courtroom. We got outside and piled back into the Hummer then went to Denny's for some lunch then went back home. Once we got back home Cody and I quickly went upstairs and changed into some more comfortable clothes. After we had changed clothes Cody went downstairs. I heard him get his bike out of the garage and head off somewhere. I decided to stay at the house and play on the computer. The time ticked by and soon it was time for dinner and Cody hadn't returned home yet. I went downstairs to see if Mom and Dad had heard anything and they said that he hadn't called. At just that moment the phone rang and mom went to answer it. "Hello Weaver residence." She said. A voice came on. "Mrs. Weaver this is Officer Pendleton with the Clark Country Sheriffs Department. I have some bad news for you ma'am." "Oh my god what's happened to my little boy?" Mom said. "Apparently he was with some friends and they were playing together. Someone pulled up in from what the report that was taken from one of the boys a red sports car and the man inside asked for Cody by name. When Cody went over to the car the man grabbed him and took off." The officer said. "Well are you looking for him?" Mom asked "Well we found him but he had a deep stab wound in his stomach and was unconscious. He was still alive when we got to him but he is in critical condition. He was transported to Legacy Salmon Creek Hospital where he flat lined twice but they were able to bring him back." The officer told her. "OH MY GOD! MY POOR BABY," Mom screamed She hung up on the officer turning to us. "Cody was kidnapped but the police found him with a deep stab wounds and he has been transported to Legacy Salmon Creek where he is listed in critical condition." I was in shock. I couldn't believe how this wonderful day had turned into such a tragic one. We ran out to the Hummer and Dad floored it all the way to the hospital. We flew into the parking lot and jumped out of the car and ran inside. Once inside Dad went to the front desk. "I need to know what room my son is in. His name is Cody Weaver." "Your son is in surgery right now. His doctor is Dr. Linton and he is the head of the pediatric surgery team. Your son is in good hands." She told him. We headed up to the Pediatric unit where we sat in the waiting room waiting for news on how Cody was doing. Time seemed to crawl by and I had cried so much if fell asleep on Dad's lap. I woke up and had to use the bathroom. I came back then sat on Dad's lap. A few minutes later, a man walked in wearing scrubs and approached us. "Are you Mr. and Mrs. Weaver?" "Yes we are and this is our other son Mike. I take it you are Dr. Linton." My dad said. "Yes I am. Cody is fine now. He was touch and go in surgery and he lost a lot of blood. The stabbings caused a lot of damage to his stomach. He was brought right into surgery and it was there we found 2 additional stab wounds, both to his back hitting both of his kidneys. We have him on dialysis but he will need to have a transplant before to long." The doctor started telling us. "Have either of you been tested to see if you are a match for Cody?' "Yes sir we have. We were tested about two years ago just in case we ever had to donate for someone as well as our son. We don't match Cody since he has a rare blood type." Dad said. "Dad may I be tested?" I asked him. "Are you sure this is something that you want to do son?" he asked me I nodded my head yes and he looked at me and slowly began to nod his head. Dr. Linton left for a minute and came back with some papers. "You will need to sign these so that Mike here can be tested for compatibility and if he is compatible you will also need to sign the consent form allowing us to perform the transplant surgery." I was taken by a nurse to a room and there they drew blood and took it down to the lab. After my blood was drawn they also took a urine sample which I had no clue what that was for and then I went back to where my parents were at. They had finished filling out the paper work when Dr. Linton came back in the room and looked at us and said "Cody is now in recovery and you will be able to see him. We won't know if Mike is a match probably until tomorrow. Just sit tight while I make sure that the ICU Staff know you are here and will let you in." The night dragged on and on while mom and dad went back and forth between the waiting room and Cody's room in ICU. Since I was young I wasn't allowed back there. A nurse got me a cot and I finally fell asleep. Dad woke me up. "They have your test results back and are going to tell us what they are in just a minute." Dr. Linton came into the waiting room with a chart and a nurse following right behind him. He looked at the three of us. "Mike's test results are back in. I had them expedited because of the short time we have. Mike is a perfect match for Cody. There shouldn't be any problems with a transplant. Now Mike, before we go through with this you parents will need to sign this form and I need you to sign it as well. There is some risk of death involved in this and I want you to know that up front." I nodded my head and looked at my parents and said "I am Cody's brother and I would rather give him a part of myself than watch him suffer the pain that he would go through if I don't do this." Mom and Dad just nodded and signed the consent forms. I was admitted and placed in a room of my own. The operation wouldn't take place until the following day. I was nervous about what was going to happen but my brother was the only person I had in my life that meant everything to me other than my new parents. Later that afternoon, I got up out of the bed and walked over to the ICU unit. I rang the buzzer and surprisingly they let me in. The nurse at the desk looked at me and smiled. "Dr. Linton said to let you see your brother because of what you are doing for him. He is in the third room. I think what you are doing is very brave." I walked into Cody's room and saw all of the tubes and wires he had hooked up to him. He was awake but barely. I walked over to him and placed my hand in his and squeezed. He squeezed my hand back and just looked at me. I sat down in the chair that was next to the bed. He looked so weak and small in that hospital bed. He looked over at me and saw the hospital bracelet on my arm and looked back at me and managed to speak to me in a soft voice. "Why are you wearing a bracelet like I am?" I looked at him with love and tears in my eyes. "I can't sit here and watch you go through any pain. You have to have a kidney transplant and I am a match. I am giving you a part of me that you will have forever." The tears started to fall down Cody's face when I told him this. He squeezed my hand even harder than he had before as his body was racked with tears. I could see he was getting upset and I just stroked his head and kissed him on the forehead and left. Once I was back in my own room I lay there and watched some TV. After dinner, I picked up one of the books that mom had left there for me before they had gone to get something to eat. I got half way through it and I was getting sleepy so I decided to turn in for the night. I put the book next to my bed and got up and went and brushed my teeth and used the bathroom and crawled back into bed and turned the lights out and went to sleep. To be continued...
