Dave took a look at me and kind of hesitantly came over to me and stuck out his hand. I pushed his hand aside and wrapped him in a bear hug which after a few seconds he returned. "Damn it's good to see you little brother." "Good to see you too Dave." Alice was right there after hugging Mike. She turned to me and I gave her a little hug and a peck on the cheek,neither of which she returned. Dave jr, all of 11 now if memory served looked up at me for a second before he wrapped his arms around my waist and gave me a hug followed closely by his little brother Bill who did the same. The kids were off right after that and into the house to change into their bathing suits. While the kids were gone I turned to Alice. "Can we at least for the sake of the kids keep it civil?" "It's no secret I don't approve of your lifestyle Jeff,but the kids love you. As long as there isn't anything untoward, yes I can keep it civil." I was very glad that Mike hadn't revealed the reason I was out here. I just hoped the boys didn't let the cat out of the bag. Soon enough I was in the pool with the kids as were Mike and Dave and we were horseing around. Alice was keeping a very close eye on things though she decided not to get into the pool. Bill, the youngest of the bunch was getting tossed around pretty good. I noticed that he hit the water rather awkwardly and didn't immediately come to the surface. I went under and grabbed him and brought him to the surface. "Get your filthy hands off of my son!" I ignored Alice as I brought Bill to the side of the pool where he continued to choke out the water he had been swallowing. Alice hauled him out of the water and hurried him away. The guys just stood there looking embarrassed for me. "Don't worry about it guys. Just the momma bear protecting her young. Relax and pretend it didn't happen." "But it did happen Jeff and I think it needs to be addressed." "No it doesn't Dave, at least not here and not now. What you do once you get home is up to you. Does it hurt? Yeah a bit but I know what I was doing even if Alice doesn't. I'll get over it." Dan looked at me like he wanted to say something,but I waved him off. He just shook his head that he understood. Eventually Alice an Bill came back to the rest of us and Alice didn't say a word and kept Bill very close to her. I wasn't about to say anything as I knew it would only cause a ruckus. Things would get a little lighter when lunch was served,but Alice made it a point that her sons were on the other side of the table from me. I could see where Dave was getting a little pissed about it all. He looked at me with an apology in his eyes and I just nodded. This was the first time the family had been together,other than a funeral,in over 4 years. I was trying damn hard not to be the one to ruin the whole day. When it came time for Dave and his family to leave,Alice gave Mike and the kids a hug and then went straight to their car. Dave gave me a bearhug as did both boys. "I'm really sorry about that Jeff." "I know brother,but she is entitled to her opinion just like everybody else. Maybe some day she'll get over it,but I'm not counting on it." Soon eough it was just the 4 of us again. "Ok Dan I know you're about to burst so get it off your chest." "Why is she like that?" "Some people just have a narrow mindset Dan. They think that love,emotional and physical,should be between a man and a woman period. Your Aunt Alice is afraid that I'll contaminate her sons simply by having contact with them." "But you said you won't get physical with us no matter what. What makes her think you would with Jr and Bill?" "Well for starters,she wasn't privleged to that information. Secondly, she may think that a gay person has no control over themselves. Now I'll admit that there are some guys who would love to get their hands on guys your age. They are called pedophiles,and I'll neither defend or berate them. I suspect it is just the way they are,just as much as being gay is just the way I am." He had to think about that one for a while and he and Gary wandered off while I helped Mike get things cleaned up. "I know you're trying to be honest with them Jeff and I'm betting that there's going to be a lot more questions tonight." "I'm not doubting that in the least big brother and I hope I'm equal to the task." "All I or they can ask is that you give it your best shot." "That's what I'm intending Mike. Now how much do I show them on the net tonight?" "Hey you told them you'd show them everything,so that's what you're going to do." It was a while later that we were all together once again for a little bit of supper and then the boys took me to their room and sat me down in front of their computer. Before I even booted it up I wanted to have a bit of a talk with them. I covered just what other alternative lifestyles were out there from being bi through what a transvestite was. They did get some confused looks on their faces at times but didn't interupt. I finally booted the computer and took them to a variety of websites from simple text encounters through to one of the most popular and extensive video sites and even to a simulator site. By the time I was through and they had seen enough,I think they had more questions than answers. It was late and I told them to sleep on things and we would talk again in the morning before I left. I left their room and I found Mike sitting in his living room. "I'm not sure I've really helped the situation Mike." "But you gave them what they asked for right?" "Yeah and I think they have more questions than when we started and they only have my point of view. Mike, they're out of school right now and I want to make a suggestion and I want you to think about it overnight before you answer me. I want to take them back into town with me for the week and really let them see what it's like to live gay. I trust everyone in the building except one guy and he is easily enough avoided." Mike started to say something but then shut his mouth. "I know it's a lot to ask Mike,but I'll be right there all week long." "You asked me to think about it Jeff,and that's what I'll do, but not a word to the boys until I make a decision." "Not a word I promise." We just kind of hung out for a while before we both decided to hit the sack. I didn't sleep to well as I kept thinking about having the boys for a week and what dreams I did have were not the kind I'd care to talk about. Sunday morning and breakfast was a rather quiet affair. I didn't press Mike for an answer. The boys did spend a good deal of time away with their father. Lunch was had and one last swim before I started to get things packed away. I was beginning to think that Mike was going to veto the idea,until he called me aside. "Jeff, I'm going to let them go with you. I think the only way they're going to understand is to live in it for a while. But so help me if any of the guys in the building lay a finger on them,they won't survive long enough to be served with an eviction notice." "That I promise you Mike. Now you want to tell them or should I ask and see if they are even interested?" "You go ahead and ask them,they might say no thanks." "True, but I'm doubting it." I corraled the boys a bit later and put the question to them. They looked at each other and went into a bit of a huddle. "What are the ground rules Uncle Jeff?" "Nothing physical period. I don't care how much pressure anybody puts on you. I'll ask the tenants to be as open and honest with you as they can be,but if somebody tells you to bug off,then you bug off and leave them alone. Do you guys mind sharing a king size bed?" "Nah we do it all of the time when we go somewhere on vacation." "Good you two will have a bedroom to yourselves,and I won't tolerate any visitors understand?" "Yeah we get it." "Then go get yourselves packed. The last train into town leaves in two hours. Be sure to bring everything you will need." They took off like shots to their room to get packed. An hour and a half later we were standing on the platform tickets in hand waiting on the train. Mike gave them both hugs and when the train finally pulled in we boarded and found ourselves some seats. I let the boys sit near the window and they waved goodbye to their dad as the train pulled out. It was an uneventful trip back into the city and seeing as the boys were with me and it was starting to get dark, I grabbed a cab back to the building. As luck would have it the first person we saw when we entered the building was Andrew.
