. . .  Chapter 69 . . . Once again the morning was anything but still,
quiet or peaceful.  Liam had Peter and Kori awake first and had one thing
on his mind or should I say one person on his mind, Abby.  There is one
thing to be thankful for Kori and Peter love making breakfast; including
good coffee.  Now Peter and Kori know better than to touch the toaster or
there is hell to pay.

   I was just about to roll out of bed when Peter rounded the corner and
with a flying leap landed beside me.  Without warning he kissed me and said
. . . "I love you too."  and ran out the door as fast as he entered.  Well
I know it was because of earlier this morning when I thought he was Kori.
The thing is Peter is a great kid and I really do love him too.

   Today I had shorts and T-shirt on when I arrived in the kitchen only to
find 3 boys with very tight underwear and no T-shirts.  Liam obviously was
in a hurry putting on his Spiderman briefs because they were on backwards.
I told Liam and he just dropped them right there turned them around and put
them back on, with a smile he did.

   Kori and Peter were afraid to laugh or say anything.  If someone didn't
know the boys they would think they were all brothers.  I love to watch
Peter with Liam, most of the time, because he seems to adore Liam.  Just as
we were sitting for breakfast Peter sat next to Liam and gave him one of my
sloppy kisses.  Eww . . .  as Liam wiped it off.

   Boys will be boys and they do the most disgusting things sometimes.
Liam got even ...... he got up to get more toast and as he sat back down he
licked Peter's ear.  Kori and Peter laughed and Liam shot Peter the finger.
WHAT?  Liam . . . . I shouted.  I don't think Liam even knows what that
means.  Liam looked at me and said . . . "sorry".  I better never hear that
word form Liam or it will be time out for a week.

   I told the boys that I wanted chores done then showers then practice.  I
also decide that Kori and Peter would go spend the day with Ian, Garret and
Riku.  That would allow me to breathe a little easier while Abby is here.
Kori and Peter said they would get chores done and Liam and I would take a
quick shower.

   The shower was going and Liam was all soaped up when he turned and
motioned that he had a secret.  I bent down and the little rug rat kissed
me and said . . .  "Love you."  I grabbed him and gave him one of those
great big sloppy kisses he hates and said . . .  "I love you more".  Liam
was all about having fun with Abby and was so excited to show her his flute
and trains.

   With chores done Kori and Peter took a quick shower so I know there was
no time for fooling around.  Kori came out of his room he took one look at
me turned around and went straight back to his room.  A minute later I
heard him practicing his clarinet.  I don't know what Peter was doing but I
knew what Kori was doing.

   I don't know why but every so often I flash back to when I first spotted
Kori.  He was a young boy hanging on the fence and the first thing I
noticed was that curly dirty blond hair you know kind of messy but cute.  I
remember asking . . . "do you like horses?"  He replied . . . "yep
... someday I would like to have a horse like yours he is so beautiful" He
spelled his name for me . . .  "K o r i not Cory."  I think I was in love
that very minute.  He was all wound up that day and wanted to give Finley
an apple.

   I remember he asked me if he could hang out sometimes and watch me work
Finley.  I told him if it was Ok with his rents.  Then it happened the
beginning of A Story of Love.  Kori didn't know who his dad was.  Kori
looked at me with a sad face and a tear rolling down his face; I gave Kori
a hug and tried to make him feel better but the tears and sobs continued.

   Things have changed and now Kori is practicing clarinet and I am in
tears remembering his miserable past.  Kori and Liam will never see days
like that again.

   The boys finished practicing and Liam and I took Peter and Kori over to
the Ito's to spend the day and a sleepover with Ian Garret and Riku.  I
reminded myself to have a talk with Kori and Peter about hygiene.  I know,
I know we all take 2 showers a day but there are all those hours in-between
and, and well you know. . . . .

   Abby arrived at 1:30 and Liam had given me detailed instructions as to
what I should or should not say or ask.  I was informed what Abby likes to
drink, what snacks and I was told/asked not to be around too much.  Excuse
me he's 9 well getting close to 10 and I'm thinking about getting one of
those babyCams.

   The day was perfect.  Liam showed Abby the trains and even let her run
them.  Wowww he doesn't Kori run the train.  Then he played the flute and
they even played X-box.  Liam asked me to saddle Eric and Dusty and he and
Abby went for a ride.  At 4:30 Abby's mom showed up and was telling me how
much Abby likes Liam and she think they are just amazing together.

   I need to remind this lady that they are only in 4th grade and her
daughter better take her claws off my little Liam.  Ok I'm a little
protective here at least she isn't suggesting a sleepover.  Abby politely
thanked me for the day and horseback riding and she and her mom were on
their way.

   Liam was all smiles.  I mean he was really all smiles!  We had dinner
together and it was great conversation accept I never said anything.  It
was Abby this, Abby that, Abby takes riding lessons, Abby sings, Abby is at
the top of her class . . .  Hell no! ......  She isn't Liam is.

    Well Liam and I watched TV, I won't tell you what we watched you should
know by now.  Then it was a bath a nice long hot bath with the tub warmer
on and nice music.  I held Liam in the warm water.  He wasn't singing just
a happy little hum.  He kept reaching back and touching my face or he would
turn and shampoo me, like 4 times.

   I remember holding Kori like this.  There is something about it that
goes deep inside you.  Neither Kori nor Liam have to say anything but you
just feel their incredible love.  I took the sponge and lathered him real
good and told him to raise his arms ......... oh my goodness the giggling.
I told him to stand and I washed all the way to his little feet and back.

   I was done he was not.  Liam handed me the sponge and wanted me to do it
all again.  I said . . . "arms up" ....... And there was the giggling and
it was down to the feet and back up and I didn't miss anything.  He giggled
even more when the sponge passed over his stiffy then he was back down in
the tub and leaning back against me.  Finally we rinsed, dried and were off
to bed.

   Liam and I were both tired and the cool of the room and the deep blue
darkness settled about us.  I held Liam tight.  I began to think Liam was
sniffling then as I held him I realized he was crying just softly.  I
turned him over and kissed his nose and asked what was wrong.  I couldn't
believe his answer.  Liam looked at me with those beautiful eyes and said
. . . "I miss Kori"

   Liam and Kori don't always sleep together especially if Peter or Riku
are here.  The difference is that Kori was not in the house.  It's very
apparent that without Kori, Liam feels emotionally abandoned.  How deep the
love between the two boys.  How deeply connected their love is, it is as
deep as any two brothers.

   It was eleven o'clock and the phone rang.  It was Kori and he wanted to
know if Liam was alright, I put Liam on the phone and Liam was all smiles.
I hung up the phone and Liam was asleep in seconds.  Love is a funny thing.

   As Liam was sleeping and my arms tightly around him I thought again of
Kori that first day.  He was so thin, so terribly thin and his clothes were
old and worn.  He was hungry and we had "pizza with everything" and two
large glasses of milk.  It was mid afternoon and we watched some movie.  I
remember he asked to sit next to me and I could feel the warmth of his
little body next to mine.

   The movie ended and I knew he had to go home.  He was cuddled next to me
and fast asleep it tore at me that I had to wake him.  I made a sandwich
for him and saw the tears as he walked away.  Tonight my tears would run
till I entered sleep.

   The morning came in the most beautiful light.  The early morning sun
sent its light dancing around Liam as if making a joyful noise to come and
join the day.  My arms were around him just as when we went to sleep.  His
sleepy eyes blinked open as he turned to me.  Liam did something that Kori
does as he quickly leaned forward and kissed my cheek.

   I said . . . "Morning sunshine" and gave Liam a quick little peck.  His
smile was all I needed to know this would be a great day.  After a quick
pee and wash Liam and I made breakfast.  Blueberry pancakes and I showed
Liam how to make coffee that I could drink.  For us today it was what we
needed to get done, chores, shower, "Liam go practice" and 12 or 15 hugs.

   The phone rang it was Kori asking if he could spend another day and
night.  I had to think for just a second and then answered . . . "Kori I
think if you come home and practice an hour then you could go back."  Hmmm
Kori was thinking then said . . . "Ok can I come "home" now?  Ian can give
me a ride then listen to me practice and take me back to the Ito's."

   That was a perfect plan and Liam could visit with or torture Ian while
he was here.  Things didn't go exactly as I thought.  It was just 20
minutes and the back door opened and it was Kori followed by Peter, Garret,
Ian, and Riku.  The door closed only to open again with Yori and Neil.
There was an acknowledgement that I was actually here as they all trotted
up to the playroom.

   The last I saw or heard was Neil saying we have more stuff for the
trains as he disappeared up the stairs.  I could hear Kori in his room
practicing and I was left standing alone in the kitchen.  I have lost
possession of my house.  Yori did leave a rather large tray of food on the
kitchen table.

   About thirty minutes later Yori and Neil came down to join me.  How
thoughtful, I'm just kidding.  They say that enthusiasm is contagious well
apparently so are trains.  Yori said Riku and Garret love Liam's trains and
now want a train layout of their own.  I was delighted to hear that but I
also noticed the expression on Yori's face.  Neil confirmed my suspicion
when he was pointing to Yori with a big smile.

   I had to laugh as I was asking Yori . . . "Yori now be honest is it
Garret and Riku that want the train or could it be your suggestion?"  Yori
broke out in a big smile and did say . . .  "Well Jake I may have had
something to do with it.  As a kid I always wanted a train set" I had to
admit I love watching Liam and the train as it goes round and round.

   Liam's train layout is really coming along and it has become an ongoing
project just like "Neil's" project with Peter.  Speaking of Peter he and
Neil are making all kinds of little buildings and they look great.  The big
project now on Liam's layout is this massive mountain with a tunnel through
it.

   Kori walked down the hallway to the kitchen playing his clarinet.  It
was his first real song, Ode To Joy, simple arrangement but Kori sounded
good.  No squeaks just good solid notes, I was very proud.

   Kori stepped up beside me for a hug.  He set his clarinet on the table
and was going to say something but I spun him around and gave him a big hug
and kiss, on the `forehead'. << see Neil and Yori were right there too.
Yori and Neil complimented Kori on his progress and the boldness of his
sound. Yori pointed out that Riku and Garret could play that song too.

   Kori was all excited and wanted to take his clarinet back to the Ito's
house after lunch.  Everyone came down from the playroom and we had lunch
together and plans were made that Liam and I would go over to Yori's house
this afternoon at 3 to see if the boys could really play together.

   Yori and I were putting the food on the table when I spotted Kori
pulling Liam by the hand down the hall.  I peeked around the corner to see
Kori hugging Liam and whispering something in his ear.  The boys were back
in just a minute and we enjoyed finger sandwiches and chips with OJ and
sprite.  Yori had made these little bite size pastries to finish off lunch.

   The house was quiet again with just Liam and me.  Liam came over punched
me in the arm and said . . . "Let's go saddle Eric and Finley and ride down
to the orchard."  So off Liam and I went for a little afternoon ride.  The
sun was shining and the treetops sparkled and we were having a great
afternoon.

   Liam was chatting away about his trains and Neil's plans for the
layout. Excuse me Neil's plans for the layout?  Neil is just a big kid.  It
looks like this may be a never ending project.  Then Liam told me about
what Kori said in the hallway.  It appears Kori hugged Liam and told him he
loved him and that tomorrow night they would cuddle and sleep together in
the boy's room, just the two of them. >just the two of them<

   Liam and I finished our ride and were back in the house for a quick
shower and nice clothes to go over to the Ito's house.  We are together so
much and I see the boys naked every day I don't pay much attention to how
they look.  As Liam was just about to get in the shower with me I noticed a
real change in his body.

   When Liam first started living with me he was thin and you could count
his ribs.  Within the first week he was eating everything he was my little
T-Rex and he gained a little weight.  I just really noticed he has grown
maybe 4 inches and his little tummy is slimming down.  Well he is almost 10
but still my little boy.

   We showered quickly and as always I washed him to his toes and back to
his head. Uh-oh under the arms and then the giggling and some more giggling
but now it was time to dry and get going.  We were dressed in nice clothes
and we wanted Kori to know that it was special for him.  The Ito's house is
quite large and the living room is beautiful.

   We arrived and were a little surprised at the number of people.  There
was Ian, Garret, Riku, Peter, Neil, Riku's teacher and his wife, Peter's
mom Helen, and Mr. Prince and his wife.  Yori introduced some of his
friends who spoke very little English and then he introduced Kori, Garret
and Riku. I was a little surprised at the gathering.

   The boys were seated in typical trio position.  Now I expected to just
hear Kori play his simple arrangement of Ode to Joy.  Was I ever surprised!
First Riku began to play an introduction then was joined by Garret on
Cello.  As they repeated this simple arrangement Kori came in with clarinet
and they simply played through it twice but Riku switched to piano.

   Wowww I was amazed and it was just beautiful and I was so proud of Kori.
Yes Kori had the simplest part but his notes were clear and strong.  The
boys finished the simple piece and Riku and Garret continued to play
several more with Riku switching from violin to piano.  To finish Riku
played Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata 3rd Movement and it was awesome.

   Riku's teacher made a few comments one was that Kori needed to be in the
school band as they needed a strong player.  The biggest announcement was
that Riku has been given an audition at Boston Conservatory in March.  It
was a complete surprise to Riku and he was excited but remained very polite
and in traditional Japanese custom bowed and thanked his teacher.

   Refreshments followed with all three boys receiving many compliments.  I
had to keep Liam close as he was trying to get to Kori; he broke away and
was instantly hugging Kori.  Garret grabbed Liam stood behind him and told
everyone that Liam was next and they were forming their own quartet. The
next question was what did Liam play? . . .  well the quartet would be
Violin, Clarinet, Flute, and Cello.

   As the recital broke there were many handshakes and compliments and
Liam's hand was in mine and I could tell by the little pressure he was
ready to go.  We made our way and thanked our host Yori Ito and
complimented him on Riku's outstanding ability.

   Liam and I were home in minutes changed and did chores quickly.  We were
not hungry so it was soup and ham and cheese sandwiches and then movies and
popcorn.  It was a warm bath and Liam was resting in the warm water with
his back against my chest.  Then there was a big question.  . . . Liam
asked . . . "Jake why does it do that?"  Hmmm "Liam what are you referring
to?"  Liam turned and stood up and pointed to his stiffy . . .  and said
. . . "This" ahhhhh he's turning 10 soon.

   I didn't want to make this long speech so I said . . . "Well you have
heard me and Kori and Peter talk about puberty and those things called
hormones and how they make boys feel crazy sometimes ......  well kiddo you
are heading that way."  I just left it at that.  Liam smiled plopped back
in front me and there was a little happy humming from the rug-rat.

   We dried and it was off to bed.  I could only imagine what Kori, Peter
and Riku were up to and it gave me an erection.  As I hugged up to Liam and
kissed him goodnight I heard his last words . . . "Jake you got a stiffy
again." I rubbed his tummy and would have bet he did too.

   We slept till early mornings light ..................................
