. . .  Chapter 53 . . .  We decided that the best way to celebrate was to
call all our friends and have a huge party tonight.  So we started with
Peter and his Mom, then Mr. & Mrs. Prince, Helen, and Edith Benson and some
others from school and of course Professor.  The final number of guests for
our big party is just over 30 people.  We will all celebrate the formal and
final decision to make Liam officially a member of the Roberts family.  As
I looked at the boys smiling Neil stepped over and said . . .  "You know
Jake they really look like brothers."  They do and I love them, I said.

   Professor was unable to attend but did say he would be up for Ian's
party.  To make the party real special Deputy Morgan and the Judge would be
here and the Judge said he would prepare a special surprise for Liam and
Kori.  I was excited and had no idea what he would do.  Now the party was
only hours away and what to have and all the preparations.

   Neil had a great idea . . . "Jake call our meat market and see if they
have a 50 or 60 pound pig to roast."  Wowww great idea and we were in luck
they had a 55 pound pig that they could have finished and delivered with
all the trimmings for 6:30pm.  How perfect and we haven't had the
opportunity to have a pig in three years.  We called Helen and Peter's mom
to ask for help and they were all in.  We needed extra tables and chairs
and coolers filled with ice.

   The guests arrived and the porch and yard was alive with chatter and the
boys all playing games.  The roast pig arrived on time and with a beautiful
presentation.  Just before we ate the Judge made a 2 minute speech and
presented Liam and Kori a certificate stating that they were now official
Roberts Family members; the Judge was also so thoughtful as to have a
certificate of appreciation for Ian for his outstanding teaching.  Then we
all enjoyed a fun filled evening of family fellowship.  The boys even
dragged the Judge out for horseshoes.

   The evening was over at nine o'clock and by ten o'clock everything was
completely cleaned and it was just Liam, Kori Garret and Ian.  I was so
proud on the boys and happy that Ian was recognized for what he has been
able to accomplish.  We all went to get chores done and in 10 minutes we
were ready for showers and bed.  The routine for showers is mostly the same
now Garret and Ian, and either Kori and Liam or the three of us in the
master bath.

   I think we were so exhausted emotionally and physically from the
activities of the day that bed, sleep and morning were just a blur.
Breakfast was French toast and of course Liam breaks the eggs and today it
was very a happy family breakfast.  While we were talking about the day Ian
said he was going to miss us when he returned to Yale.  We all made plans
to have Ian up to join us as much as he can so every long weekend and
Thanksgiving and Christmas he will be here.

   After breakfast Ian did lessons and then we decided to load the bikes
and ride the Crow Hill trail to Holly Hill and the pond. Oh yes the pond
and nobody thought to bring swim suits.  With only two weeks and a few days
left we all wanted to spend as much time together as we could.  While we
were loading the bikes Garret asked me what I thought would happen with his
dad in Tokyo.  He asked if I thought he would have to go back with his dad
as soon as he arrived back from Japan.

   I looked at Garret and said . . . "Garret I don't have any answers to
those questions but I do know that your dad honestly loves you very much.
Did you know that the morning he left he looked in on you and wanted to
tell you what had happened?  He saw how you were snuggled up to Ian and
decided not to disturb you."  Garret was surprised and thought maybe he
does not really understand how much his dad really loves him.

   We had a great day of fun on the ride and certainly at the pond.  There
was lots of laughter and swimming between legs.  That reminds me I need to
talk to Ian about being frisky as he swam between my legs.  Nah it was fun
and everyone had a great time.  We were back to the house early enough that
the boys took turns riding Dusty and Eric and then I went for a short ride
with Kori, and Liam.  Finley is getting very used to Liam riding him and it
gives Kori and Liam and I the opportunity to all ride together.

   We were all sitting on the front porch and I listened to Ian as he gave
the boys their afternoon lesson.  I'm impressed the boys were speaking
conversational French with Ian.  I couldn't understand anything so I
decided to get dinner ready and then we could have a fun evening together.
I thought spaghetti with meat sauce and Italian sausage and garlic bread.
As I was getting things ready I thought the next two weeks will go so fast.
I wanted to make the best of time with Ian for the boys and perhaps a
little time for Ian and me.

   Everything was ready and we sat for dinner at 7 and I think we just
enjoyed being together.  Dinner was over and the boys cleaned the kitchen
and I did early chores and there was nothing to interrupt the evening.  We
decided it was time for a family game of Monopoly and try not to let Liam
win this time, he gloats.  We were well into the game when the phone rang
and it was Garret's father.

   Garret's Father had good news with the help of other family members in
Tokyo he will be able to settle his sister's holdings with in the week and
will be home in about 10 days.  The surprise for Garret and his father is
that Garret's aunt has given his father custody of her son Riku who is 13
and speaks Japanese and very little English and Garret speaks mostly
English and very little Japanese.

   Garret's father spoke with Garret and explained that Riku would coming
to the states to live here and asked Garret to help as much as possible.
Garret was polite and said . . . "Father I will help as much as I can
remember I don't speak much Japanese so I guess Riku and I will need lots
of help too.  Are you sure you will be home in 10 days? .... Ok Father I
will see you then.  Do you need to speak with Jake?  .....  Ok we will look
for the email in a few minutes. Bye"

   Garret hung up the phone and looked disappointed.  It was obvious from
his looks and the phone conversation that Garret knew he would be needed at
his father's house and Ian would be here.  It was unexpected and I saw the
tears well up in his eyes.  Garret walked out to the back porch and Ian
followed.  Kori, Liam, and I just sat at the table and then decided to just
pick things up and leave Garret and Ian alone.  We put things away and went
in to watch TV.  Kori and Liam hugged up to me as we watched Doctor Strange
on Netflix.

   Kori and Liam almost asked at the same time if Garret would be alright.
I could only say that I think in a little time he will be fine his father
loves him as much as I love you.  Soon Ian and Garret came in and Garret
asked if he could use my computer to check his email.  I told Garret to
help himself and let us know if he needed help.

   Garret went to the den / office and opened his email from his father
.....  "Dear Garret everything here is going smoothly and with the help of
some family and friends it looks like I will be home in 10 days.  I will be
bringing your cousin Riku with me and he will live with us and I think you
will like him.  Riku is 13 and plays piano and has just started to take
violin lessons. Perhaps you may like to learn an instrument.  Riku like you
is very smart and fast at learning.  I have included an attachment so you
may see him.  I hope you will like him and be friends like you are with
Ian.  I love you Garret and want us to be a family like Jake has a family.
Love your Dad.  Photo attached.

   The next thing we heard was . . .  "Hey come see the photo of Riku he's
cute!  Dad said he will be home in 10 days."  Well we all ran to see the
photo.  Kori took one look and . . . "Oh Wowww, Riku is cute; sleepovers!
Liam just looked and wanted to know what he was wearing.  I looked at
Garret, and . . . Oh my . . .  Garret had some smile on his face.  Perhaps
Riku will ease the pain of Ian returning to school.  Think I will see if I
get a smile when I tell Garret that he can just give Riku his new bedroom.

   I noticed that Garret re-read the email and then clicked on the photo
again.  We all went back to watching the movie including Ian and Garret. It
was time for popcorn.  As I was making the popcorn Garret joined me and was
helping, almost, and asked . . . "Jake do you think I could learn and
instrument like maybe Cello?"  . . . "I think that is a great idea and I
know you can do anything you want; that is when you want."  I replied, then
I looked at Garret and he had this simply devious little grin.

   I gave Garret the popcorn to pass out and I walked out on the back
porch.  In a minute or two Ian joined me.  He stood pretty close and began
by saying how happy he has been to be with us this summer.  Ian continued
with a big thank you for allowing Garret to stay with him at night.  He
told me that he and Garret mostly just cuddled at night and sex was only a
few times.  I told Ian that I had trusted him and that as long as Garret
was comfortable then I was Ok with it.

   I knew it would happen with Garret and Ian and if I had made a big issue
then it would have happened anyway but there would have been guilt feelings
associated with it.  I wonder if that is where I am.  Is the guilt from
when I was 12 and 13 keeping me all locked up most of the time?  Ian is the
only person I have had sex with in 10 years.  Sometimes I want to
scream. .............................!

   The constant thought that I have to protect my image.  What will people
think?  Will my job be gone?  Almost every day or a part of the day I think
did I say something that made people think . . .  "Is he gay?"  I fight so
hard to make sure the Kori, Liam, Garret and Peter will not have to live
with this cloud over their heads.  I don't care if their gay, straight, bi
or purple.

   I went back in and looked at the boys and all I saw was love.  They were
all on the couch and much like little pups all lying on each other sharing
their warmth and love for each other.  I returned to the kitchen to make
cold drinks for them and Kori came out and joined me.  I felt his hand on
my butt and then a good pinch . . . Oww!  I turned to give him what for
. . .  but he kissed me . . . no not a peck . . .  a full lip to lip kiss
. . .  and when we heard Liam go . . .  "yuk! go get a room" . . .  What
the hell did Liam just say?  I was ready to scalp the little tyrant, but he
ran down the hall to his bathroom.

   You know?  I looked at Kori and said . . . "Hey stud muffin do it again
I really liked it."  And Kori did and then Garret applauded.  Geeez, no
dang privacy here.  I winked at Kori and said . . . "Wait till we go to bed
tonight sweet pea."  OMG what a smile I got.  Now Kori may have one idea
and I may have another . . .  Like I just want to cuddle and maybe give him
a few kisses he's been missing out on.  Now the smile he had meant
something else completely!  You know you've been reading the story
. . . . . . .

   I walked down the hall to see what Liam was up to and as I passed the
den door I spotted Garret looking at the photo o f Riku again.  I couldn't
help myself and said . . . "Hey Garret he doesn't speak English but I bet
you can teach him."  Oh I was bad.  Garret looked at me ... red faced and
said . . . "Jake I'm gonna try."  It was the inflection in his voice that
told me he was being naughty.  I walked in and looked at the photo.  Hmmm
Riku is really cute.

   I walked back to the living room and just looked at my boys one more
time before going to the barn.  It is always best to check the horses
before ending the night.  I am more relaxed tonight than I have been in
some time.  I really think Garret will be fine with his father and he knows
he will always have a place here any time he needs.  Ian has had a good
summer and I can see he is ready to return to Yale, I know the boys will
miss him and they will also look forward to his visits during the year.

   It seems so much has happened since April and it all has happened so
fast.  I am happy that Kori and Liam have not had to go through some long
month by month process of becoming a family.  I am however looking forward
to just three weeks and back to school and a slower life style.  I am even
looking forward to new kids and the constant turmoil for the first few
weeks.  There is so much going through my mind right now.  I am looking
forward to going to bed and just holding Kori and Liam.

   The movie is over and Garret and Ian have said goodnight.  I hear their
shower running and Kori and Liam have disappeared.  I can almost bet they
are in the tub.  I wonder why in Japan and some of the Scandinavian
countries it is accepted that nudity and either family bathing or naked
sauna is just a way of life and here in America it is shame.  Why are we
ashamed of being naked?  Oh well I'm not, I'll clarify that, I'm not here
in the house in front of the boys, I was a little at the pond when that
elderly couple stopped to chat.

   I walked in the bedroom and I heard voices from the bath.  I was right
there is suds to the neck were two cute boys having fun in the water.  Oh
boys and water go together like a horse and carriage.  Kori said . . ."Hey
Jake don't forget your rubber ducky."  I love his humor.  I slid in behind
Kori and felt him just relax as he leaned back against me.  Liam was in the
same position in front of Kori.  I know many people will think this to be
boring, the same ole thing every night and every morning but it is what we
do.

   Don't families pretty much have a set routine for mornings and bedtimes?
We do and we enjoy it the boys look forward to showers or baths together.

   I handed Kori the shampoo he poured it on Liam and began to lather as I
poured it on Kori and did the same.  The felling of peace and that
everything will be just fine . . .  was when Liam began to sing his song.
And that poor bear just keeps going over the mountain to see what he can
see.

   The bath was over and the boys dried.  Liam in his Spiderman underwear
tonight and Kori in his birthday suit and I in my boxers and we all crawled
in bed.  Tonight was mine and I was not letting anything stop me from
holding and loving my two boys.  I wrapped my arms lovingly around Liam and
felt Kori as he hugged up to me.

   My hand slowly traced around Liam's face and I sweetly kissed the back
of his neck.  I will cherish every minute with the boys as I know all too
soon they will grow and be gone.  I felt Liam's body when he drifted off to
never land and then I turned and kissed Kori.  He lovingly ran his hand
through my hair and his finger traced my lips.  He drew close till his body
was touching mine his arm and hand resting on my side and I heard those
three words. "I love you"

   I have said it and thought it so many times before it is the way Kori
says it.  The words spoken have so much depth and I think it all comes from
the pain he endured.  Kori has a very realistic understanding of what is
meant by the words.  He says the words not to please me but because he is
letting me know that the relationship we have is completely unconditional.

   Kori was just in a very loving mood tonight.  I just watched his
beautiful blue slowly close, his breathing slowed and he was asleep.  I
love my boys.
