Unexpected Robert 30


Last Chapter

This is the last chapter of Robert and possibly the family. I do not want
to take the guys and their families through university. I have written a
story of three generations of a family and a lot of time has passed and
characters are aging. I have had ideas for more adventures for Robert and
Lucas but I am not sure that I can or want to go that route. I guess only
time and rest will tell. As I have said several times, I started writing
this story of the family (or as one reader has called it, the Clan) in the
winter of 2014. It is hard to believe that four years have come and
gone. If by chance in the future, you ever see the title Unexpected in the
Nifty archives, give it a look and see if the family has returned.

To the many people who have written, thank you for the kind words and
support. That has helped to keep me going. I am not certain if I shall be
writing anything else. It has been an interesting journey from my first
publication of Unexpected Change in April, 2011. There are themes that run
through the stories and perhaps I have said enough. So enough said for now,
enjoy the last chapter.

Jeremy. "Son, this is just the start for you. Believe me; you will have
many more times like this in both your lives. We are so happy to have you
here and to do this for both of you. Now it has been a great day but we are
tired. I think time for bed. Anything that you want to do tomorrow?"

Robert and Lucas looked at each other. "We have been on the Boulevard
Haussmann and we would like to go back and do some looking and shopping for
things to take back home. Lucas and I could use some fashionable French
clothes."

Timothy looked at them. "Excellent idea. Can I make a crazy suggestion? The
Opera Garnier is close to the major department stores. The tour is really
interesting and it is one of the old historic buildings in Paris. If we
don't make it, that's OK. Just a possible suggestion."

Robert looked at his dads. "We saw the outside if the Opera but didn't have
the time to go in. Great idea. Thanks for a really great day. Breakfast at
our bistro tomorrow?"

There was a definite yes from everyone.

Robert and Lucas undressed each other slowly, stopping only to kiss. Hands
roamed each others bodies. It was Lucas who muttered. "How can we be so
lucky? How can I be so lucky. They treat me like a son and then I have
you."

Not a lot more was said but a lot more was done. Robert made love to his
guy again in Paris. He would remember each time they did that.


Present

They were out the door the next morning and received an even more cordial
welcome from the owner of the Bistro. The owner had finally asked them if
they were in fact tourists as they had just turned up and were coming back
daily.

They explained who they were. That led to an interesting conversation as
the owner had visited Quebec. He remembered his trip as a wonderful visit
to Montreal, the second largest French speaking city in the world and to
Quebec City, founded in 1608, which had been a surprise with all its
historic architecture and its modern suburbs.

They ate and drank too much coffee but luckily they had started out early
and so they were walking up to Au Printemps on the Blvd Haussmann just
after its opening time. They went to the main floor menswear
department. The dads bought almost anything that they looked at. Well it
just seemed like that and the guys told them to wait until they saw what
was available at the Galleries Lafayette and other stores. They spent the
morning looking in various boutiques and went over to the new shopping
gallery at the Saint-Lazare metro station, They had so many parcels that
they decided to go back to the apartment. The Opera Garnier might have to
wait for another visit.

They arrived back and deposited every thing in the apartment. They were
hungry. Robert and Lucas had quietly discussed a late lunch on the Metro.

"Dad, we found a really good restaurant close by in the 5th. There is no
discussion; we want to take you there as our treat for lunch. Then we can
show you some of the things that we have seen or go back and rest before
going for our dinner with Charles and Emile and their friends, Claude and
Thomas." He looked at his dads with a look of determination. "The only
credit cards that will be produced with be mine and Lucas'. Can you manage
that?"

Timothy turned and looked at Jeremy. "Whose steely look is that? Yours or
mine?"

Before either could answer, Robert jumped in. "It is both of yours
combined."

They left laughing. The Maitre d' recognized them. They introduced his dads
in the now, usual way as their fathers, Jeremy and Timothy. The Maitre d'
did not speak English to them this time and gave them a good table outside
but not close to the street. It was a charming place and it was one of
those lovely small restaurants with an interesting menu even at lunch. They
noticed that there were a fair number of well dressed male and female
patrons who were there as well. They were glad that they had dressed up a
bit. They discussed the menu and as it turned out all the meals would go
well with a red. Everyone praised their choice and the wine that Robert and
Lucas had chosen.

At the end of the meal, it was Jeremy who spoke up. With the remnants of
his wine, he toasted his two sons. "We can see that you have grown in poise
and understanding. We have said to each other that we are so proud of
you. To our sons."

Lucas told himself not to tear up. Robert looked with love at his dads. He
had spoken to their server quietly to bring him the bill. As was the case
in many good Paris restaurants, the gratuity was already on the bill but
Robert added extra. He asked to see the Maitre d'. When he arrived, Robert
asked him if knew of a very good wine store in the area that they could
trust for good quality wines.  He smiled and said that it would be his
pleasure. He gave them a name and an address with directions.

By this time, the guys knew their way around a lot of the 5th and they were
soon in a wine shop that did not look large on the outside but it was very
deep and had an amazing quantity of bottles of wine. The proprietor arrived
and looked at each of them in turn. Robert suspected that he was trying to
figure out what language to use so Robert decided to start with his best
French. "We have a dinner invitation with some friends tonight who know
their wines well. We would like to take two good bottles to their home
where we are dining this evening. We would like reds. Suggestions? Oh, my
partner and I shall be paying for one and my fathers will be paying for the
other."

Timothy was just holding back a smile. "Robert, we didn't discus this. We
feel that we should pay for both."

"Papa, you can buy as many as you wish but Lucas and I will be taking a
bottle ourselves."

Jeremy and Timothy broke out laughing. Timothy looked at the owner. "Our
son and his partner have grown up too fast. Two bottles if you please. My
partner and I shall pay for one of them." Graceful in defeat.

Lucas spoke up. "I noticed when we were at supper with Claude that he
ordered a bottle with Bordeaux on it. I am not certain of the name of the
chateau. I did notice Grand Cru on the label."

Robert looked at the owner. "I think that the other was from Provence but
it was very good."

The owner looked at them. "Do you want a big name or something special that
is a very good wine but a sleeper?"

Almost together Timothy and Robert. "A very good wine, a sleeper!"

It was so spontaneous that it broke everyone up. The owner disappeared and
came back with two wines, each with dust on it. He wiped the bottles clean
and there was a bottle from Bordeaux and another from the Cote de
Roussillon Village not Provence but in the south of France in
Roussillon. "Both these wines have been in my cellar for a number of years
and they should be ready and at their peak. I have enjoyed this time with
you and I can give you a good price. It won't be inexpensive but I think
that your hosts will enjoy them as fine wines."

They were wrapped and it was Lucas who pulled out his credit card as it was
Robert who had paid for lunch. They would settle the difference later.

"Gentlemen, it has been an interesting and a pleasure. I noticed that two
of you have a slight accent which I suspect is from a French speaking
country and the other two have an accent that I am not sure of but French
was not your first language even if you are fluent in French." He had
looked at Timothy and Robert first and then at Jeremy and Lucas."

It was Robert who answered. "There is really only one country that really
gives you the answer to your question." He raised his eyebrows.

"North America, Canada. Right?" They all shook their heads yes and bid him
goodbye.

 Jeremy took down the address of the wine shop. He had decided that if the
wine was as good as the owner had said, he might just drop in on the way to
the airport the next day and buy a couple of bottles to take home.

They were back at the apartment. Jeremy looked at his two young men; that
was the way he saw them now. "Thanks for lunch and that was fun at the wine
store. You have shown us something. You both have really grown in the last
year and I think that the trip has done you a world of good. I was so proud
of you at the restaurant and the wine store." He walked over and gave them
a hug. "Now it is time to rest and then to dress and go for dinner with
your professors and their friends. We are looking forward to it. Thanks to
you, this will be a Paris that we have never seen before."

Lucas was surprised. They actually rested holding each other tightly. For
Lucas, it had been two wonderful days with his guy and his parents. For
Robert, it had been magical with all that had happened. It was so totally
different from his trip last year. His Dad was right. He and Lucas had
grown and changed and for him, so much was because of the man beside
him. They had shared so many things as partners, problems to be solved,
situations to be faced and then taking on the hockey team as co-captains.

They both fell asleep but Robert had set a timer on his iPad which would
give them lots of time to get ready and call a cab. His dads had insisted
that tonight it was taxis to and back at his and Timothy's expense. Robert
smiled to himself when his Dad had said it in that voice, that one that
Robert had used at the wine store.

They had looked at internet maps as he knew Claude and Thomas' address.
Robert had saved the maps as photos on his phone. They could direct the
taxi driver if he were not certain where the address was or had language
problems. It turned out that they didn't need them.

Their welcome was warm. Robert introduced his dads. Timothy happened to be
the closest so he was introduced as his father, Timothy Malenfant, the
senior partner at his law firm. Then it was Jeremy Marchese-Milner, CEO of
The Accountants. That stopped the conversations.

Claude, the professor at the Sorbonne, spoke up looking at Jeremy. "You
gave an address at the Sorbonne a few years ago. Your topic was fascinating
and all my colleagues were impressed that you gave your speech and answered
questions in French. It is not often that that happens from visiting
lecturers here. What a pleasant surprise. Welcome to our home."

Thomas with a wink, "We also want to welcome two very impressive young men
to our home. Robert and Lucas, it was such a pleasure to meet you on
Saturday and now to have you in our home." He turned to the dads. "These
two young men turned some heads on Saturday night at the restaurant and
certainly at the club."

Robert moved and gave Claude his wrapped package. It was taken and
opened. "Claude's eyes opened wide. "This bottle is eight years old. I know
the area but not this wine. A treat."

Timothy gave his bottle to Thomas. On opening it, "My lord, a Grand Cru
Bordeaux and it is ten years old. Gentlemen you are almost profligate. Our
food will never reach these heights."

Robert shrugged. "We realized on Saturday night that you knew your wines
and you enjoyed them. We wanted you to have something to savour and
enjoy. They don't have to be opened tonight. They are for your enjoyment."

"Young man, thank you. You are right. They are for our enjoyment and we
choose to share them with our guests."

Robert was smart and he knew when to stop talking. The host had spoken. His
dads were impressed yet again with their son's words.

There was conversation all around the room. Jeremy was talking to Claude
about The Accountants and his well known forensic division. Timothy had
Emile laughing at some of his experiences and antics in court and as the
senior partner of his law firm. Robert had started a conversation with
Thomas about computer technology and some how they started to talk about
Robert's favourite computer language that he had learned last year and when
he took over his professor's classes. Robert happened to mention his
Marchese web site and the new Accountants web site. When it was loaded onto
his laptop, Thomas could not speak highly enough about The Accountants
site. Jeremy had watched some of it and he had mentioned it to Claude. Soon
everyone was looking at the site. Charles and Emile simply sat back and
watched how this young man handled himself. They were more impressed than
ever. Then they heard Lucas talking about forensic accounting and they
realized that he was as good as his partner.

Over a delicious dinner and superb wines, friendships were made and
strengthened. By the end of a very late evening, it was obvious that there
was a very good chance that Claude and Thomas would be spending some time
in Canada visiting their friends and this very bright, interesting family.

They saw the dads off the next morning as their flight to Basel was at 13
hours. It was a very emotional send off. The guys had enjoyed their time
with his fathers as equals and a new relationship was forming between
them. The guys felt the loss of his parents within minutes of their
departure. They went back to the wine store and each bought a bottle of
very good wine to take home with them. They had tasted the best and it
would become a passion for them. They discovered that his parents had
stopped by as well on the way to the airport.

They took the metro to Monmartre. They visited Sacre-Coeur. They had
refused to take the lift and walked the entire way up the interminable
number of steps. Then after touring Sacre Coeur, they meandered around the
Place du Tertre with its cafes and artists. A little off to the side, they
discovered the Dali museum which was fascinating as both had heard the name
but had never really seen his work. As Lucas had commented, Dali was quite
a contrast to the Impressionists.  Then they just wandered and finally took
the Metro and went back at the apartment.

They decided to rest before going out for supper. As Lucas was to say
later, some rest. They went back to the restaurant that they had taken the
dads to. They were recognized and welcomed by the owner and the Maitre d'
who again gave them one of the best seats in the restaurant. He even took a
few moments to recommend what he felt were their best choices that
evening. After a fantastic meal, the guys left a very good tip and a very
vocal thank you to their waiter, the Maitre d' and the owner. The guys
wondered if the Maitre d' was like them in his orientation. He had been
very attentive.

They decided the next day to have a leisurely day. They had read of the
Bois de Boulogne and had done some research on it during the summer. It
sounded as if it was exactly what they wanted for their last day in
Paris. Robert didn't remember the details but he had remembered his Papa
talking about their magical time visiting the Boston Common on Jeremy's
first presentation at an international conference with Michael Burtchell.

They knew that there were lakes and gardens in the Bois. They looked at
maps and took the Metro to what they thought was the appropriate
entry. They were soon walking by the lakes through woodland paths. They
were enchanted by the concept of this huge park almost in the centre of
Paris. They stopped several time to just sit closely together and enjoy the
ambience.

The took the short boat ride over to the Chalet des iles where they walked
around the island and arrived back at the Chalet des isles for lunch. They
had saved a lot of their gift money by eating in the apartment and they
decided that they didn't care what it cost. They would have a good lunch
that would tide them over until dinner with Andre. It was a time that they
would remember sitting eating a very good meal reminiscing about the
wonderful time they had had. His Dad was right. They had enjoyed the
planning and the time in Paris had sped by as he had suggested.  By sitting
in the wonderful setting and talking about their time in Paris, they hoped
that the memories would stay with them for a long time.

They had read about the Fondation Louis Vuitton situated in the Bois. They
were overwhelmed by the architecture of the building and the art displays
in it. They spent so much time that they did not have a chance to tour the
rose garden at Chateau de Bagatelle built for Marie Antoinette. They
decided instead to go back and sit by the lake and relax.

They found a fairly private spot by the lake and sat on the grass. Lucas
sighed. "Another wonderful day together in Paris. This was the perfect way
to finish our time here." He put his arm over Robert's shoulder. He didn't
care who saw what.

Robert sighed and snuggled in to Lucas. "That feels so good. Can you
believe what we have done since that day that we met each other. You were
talking a mile a minute and then accused me of being bossy. Now I am
sitting beside my partner in Paris." Robert looked both ways and gave Lucas
a quick kiss." He paused. "A word about tonight. Andre can be quite upfront
about what he wants. He wanted ME, gay or straight, back in August last
year. He tried but he was then graceful with my decision. He may see things
differently now. We haven't talked about situations like this. He may want
us to join him and his partner in some intimate activities." Lucas laughed
at Robert's diplomatic language.

"Robbie, I hope that you have the same reaction I would have. I don't want
to mess around with anybody but you."

"Thank you. I figured that would be your answer. I didn't want any
hesitations from us that might lead them on. It has been a busy day. We
still have some packing and we have to catch a taxi at 6:30 tomorrow
morning. None of that is totally untrue. We may have to be
definite. Perhaps, I am over thinking this but I don't want a nasty
surprise that spoils the evening."

Lucas leaned over and gave Robert a kiss. It lasted just a bit longer than
the last one. "Let's go back and change. We have the bottle of wine and the
food that we want to take with us. I know that you checked the Metro lines
for where they live. So we want to arrive around 17:30 hours."

They had a warm welcome from Andre and Lucien. Hugs all around. "Guys, this
wine looks very good."

"Yes, we found a good wine shop in our area and have bought a few from the
owner. So far everything that we have bought has been excellent."

It was a small apartment but well furnished. Lucien served the hors
d'oeuvres that Robert and Lucas had brought. Andre looked at Robert and
then Lucas. "So have enjoyed you time here?"

The guys outlined all that they had done. Andre laughed saying that it was
a remarkable amount. They talked about their year at university and Andre
and Lucien talked about their work and that they had done.

Robert was curious about Andre and Lucien. "When and how did you meet." It
turned out to be an interesting story.

Finally, the question came that Robert was expecting. Andre looked at
Robert, "You mentioned a girlfriend last year at the dance club." He raised
his eyebrows.

"Ah, a little lie. I had broken up with her in June and well, I wasn't gay
so I bent the truth just a bit."

"How did this rather impressive man come into your life."

"You said that evening that every straight guy had some gay in him. Turned
out that I had a lot more than I realized at the time. Also, you and I
clicked on several levels and I realized that you could find a soul mate in
many ways." With lots of fun and laughter Robert and Lucas explained how
they met and how it had all changed at the family chalet.

Lucien stood up to go to the kitchen. "It looks as if the food is ready."

It was lovely meal and the desserts that they had brought were very much
appreciated.

They chatted for quite awhile about their courses and Andre and Lucien's
work. Robert had looked at his watch and realized that it was getting on to
22:30 hours.

Andre must have caught the glance at the watch. "Hope that you are not
leaving. I was going to suggest something a bit more intimate. I told you
last year that I could show you a good time. I suspect that you and your
partner could certainly give us a good time."

Robert's eyes shifted quickly to Lucas. Lucas got the message.

"Andre, we have had busy day and we still have some packing and getting the
apartment ready for the owner. We have a taxi coming at 6:30 tomorrow
morning to get us out to Charles de Gaulle for check in for our flight
home. I don't want to disappoint and I know that you could give us an
interesting experience but we really do have to go." Robert wanted to yell
out. "Well done, lover." Instead, he just nodded in confirmation to what
Lucas had said.

Lucien got the message and he looked a bit relieved after Lucas'
comments. Andre did not look quite as pleased. Robert was so glad that they
had had their strategy session in the Bois de Boulogne

In fact, they were packed and the apartment was spotless. When they arrived
home, they were quickly in each others arms. Kisses began and became more
and more intense. They were finally naked and lying on their sides facing
each other.

Lucas looked at Robert. "Robbie, I was a mess that first day we met. I was
so worried about what my roommate would be like, my orientations, the
hockey try outs and the toxic relationship with my mother. I realized over
that month that you were not bossy; you were so caring and helpful. I would
go to sleep at night wishing that you were like me. I finally decided that
you would just be a best friend. I don't even know how I had the courage to
kiss you as I did that night. I was so afraid after I did it that you would
back off or throw me aside."

Robert put his fingers over Lucas' lips. "I can't explain the tears that I
had when I broke it of with Anna.  Papa held me tightly and said the right
things. I came to the try outs with an ended relationship and a lot
questions about the year, my courses, the hockey team and my
roommate. Early on, I realized that I really enjoyed being with you. Even
then, we worked like a team. I saw you start to blossom especially after
you told me your orientation. At some point, I realized that we did
everything together and we had become best friends. Then I saw you
literally come alive at the chalet. Papa warned me that you had fallen for
me. I think that I just said that I knew. You have told me that you were
lucky last Fall. I know that I was the luckiest person in the whole
university."

They kissed again stroking each others bodies. They looked at each other
and knew that they were going to make love in Paris for the final
time. Well for that year.






Epilogue


Robert did not made much progress that first summer on a computer program
to assist forensic accounting. In the next year, he did very well in two
courses on forensic accounting and gained a lot of knowledge of the mind
set of forensic accounting. He did very well in his courses of computer
languages and systems. By the end of his third year, he and Lucas had a
program working that Lucas had used on several cases. It had helped. But it
was in his last year, when things seemed to come together. By graduation,
he had a program working that Lucas was convinced was better than anything
on the market. It needed a better interface and some more sophisticated
compilers but they both thought that it could be ready for market in fairly
short order.

Lucas had become one of the bright stars in the university Accounting
Department's forensic program. He worked every summer and became not just a
summer hire but a member of the forensic staff at The Accountants for those
four months. He had even been called back in his fourth year to help crack
one of their most difficult, big cases.

Charles watched Robert become one of the brightest and best in their
department. When Professor Robertson decided to retire in the Spring of
Robert's third year, Robert was given the course to teach in the Fall and
the course was so successful that he taught it in his last term before
graduation. It was a hectic year but he managed it successfully. Charles
and Emile had bonded with the guys and they were frequent guests at their
home.

Robert and Lucas had been correct about what might happened when they went
to the Computer Technology Department BBQ at the end of their first year as
partners. When they returned in that second September at University, in the
third week back, they were approached by the student newspaper to talk
about the rumour of their partnership. The guys gave a very forthright
interview explaining what they had done in their first year and why they
had stayed in the shadows. Some members of the LGBT group were upset with
them but they explained their point of view, joined and participated in a
many events. They had to tell the executive of the group that they were
just too busy to do much more. There were a few nasty, homophobic slurs
yelled at them from the stands in the first game at home but they ignored
them. The second time it happened, there were boos and hisses from the
spectators at the guys doing it. Being big strong guys, they were not going
to be challenged and with crowd support, the comments stopped.

Coach was correct. The guys were on the team until they graduated and were
the co-captains for the entire time. Hank graduated two years ahead of them
and was given a great party by the guys and the team. They stayed in
contact with him and he spent many weekends at the chalet. He had became a
very good water skier and a very close friend.

Paul and Brett separated in late Fall of their third year. Robert and Lucas
noticed some friction between them during the Fall term. They asked Paul
about it and he just shrugged and said that he wasn't sure what was
happening. He happened to add that they were not active physically very
often. By late Fall, they never saw Paul and Brett together. Brett had
become very involved with his studies spending long days and nights doing
research and study time with others in the math department. He met someone
who was in his department and apparently was as bright as Brett was. Brett
moved out over Christmas from their house that they had then rented for a
year and a half.

For the rest of that year, there were a number of guys who stayed the night
with Paul but then disappeared. He was having a hard time forgetting his
first real love, Brett. Towards the end of term that year, he met a guy at
the club and they hooked up. The guy virtually lived at their place for the
remainder of the term. They all liked him. However, he disappeared over the
summer. Paul had a long talk with Jeremy at the chalet that summer after
their third year. The talk seemed to galvanize Paul. He met Sean at a party
during the summer. Even though Sean was in the closet, Paul fell for
him. Sean eventually came out to his family with a lot of support from Paul
and the guys. Their relationship lasted and grew.

Pops had a second heart attack in the winter of their final year. They
thought that he was recuperating well but one morning when Momma went up to
get him down for breakfast, he had passed quietly away during the
night. The guys saw all their professors and the heads of their departments
and were able to be there for the entire time as they celebrated his
life. Momma was the rock. She spoke so lovingly of their many years
together and the guys saw that other side to her life. Robert and Lucas
felt incredibly honoured to be amongst the pall bearers at the service and
then at the crematorium.

They visited Paris every year and had managed to keep their friendships
with Antoine, Claude and Thomas and Andre and Lucien. Antoine visited
Canada and they had a great time showing him around. Claude and Thomas came
to visit their friends Charles and Emile. They spent time with Robet's
parents and the guys. Robert and Lucas spent a lot time with them over the
years both in Canada and in Paris.

Anna and Michael became engaged during the Christmas of their final year at
university with a wedding planned for late August. They had become almost
Robert and Lucas' best friends and many weekends were spent together both
at each others universities, at the Chalet and at Michael's family's
cottage. Robert was asked to be best man which delighted him. Lucas was one
of the ushers. It was the highlight of their summer.

Against most odds for guys who had met when they were so young, Robert and
Lucas grew stronger together. There were times when they each had to say
stop to the other who was becoming too involved in their work and projects.
They were touched by Anna and Michael's wedding. On the night after the
wedding, the guys were at the chalet by themselves. They relived the entire
day. They were so happy for their friends. As the sun was setting on a
beautiful August evening with just the two of them holding hands and
looking down at the calm lake reflecting some of the brilliant colours of
the pink, red, grey sky, they looked at each other. Lucas looked at his guy
and asked why he enjoyed the wedding so much.

Robert simply said that he loved both of them and he was delighted in their
joy. Robert had added that it was a way for two people to tell the world
how they felt about each other. He was proud to have been part of it. He
added that he really felt that the marriage ceremony was a time when two
people told each other and their families and friends about their
commitment to each other.

Lucas gave Robert a look after his explanation. Then Lucas asked very
quietly whether they would ever be ready for that commitment to be made
publicly to friends and family.

Robert looked back at him trying to figure out how he wanted to say what he
was feeling so intensely. Finally, he gave Lucas a loving look and simply
told him that he had been ready for a long time. Lucas moved closer and
very softly said that he was ready, any time, any place. There were of
course damp eyes as they sealed the deal with a very passionate kiss.

They were married in early November. Where else would the honeymoon be?  In
Paris, in their apartment that they had rented so many times. They
celebrated appropriately their wedding night but somehow they both felt
more intense and close as they made love in Paris for the first time as a
married couple.
