A Neglected Boy    "The Twins" XLIV
jacoblion@tutanota.com

    I grabbed my brother and Ethan and said . . . .  "Ok Let's show them
how a real New England breakfast is made."  . . . .  Twenty slices of
bread, 14 eggs, almost a quart of milk, 2 pounds of hickory Vermont bacon,
14 cups of coffee, a pot of tea, 1 quart of orange juice (OJ), almost a
bottle of maple syrup, 2 sticks of real butter, 9 plates, 2 platters, 7
cups, 9 glasses a roll of paper towels and 7 hungry people and 2 pint size
kids.  That was a French toast breakfast and every plate was cleaned.

   Jake, Liam, Abby, Ethan and I had the opportunity to talk about the day
almost uninterrupted because Kyle, Justin, Will, and Alex were really
enjoying breakfast and not talking much at all.  Unusual for the rug-rats
for sure.  Liam asked Jake how he intended to get the 16-foot 4x4s up
straight and that 20 foot 4x4 across the top. ...... Jake thought
............ he thought for quite some time. ...... Ahhhh ...... Jake had
the answer . . . .  "Well, we will build it on the ground and then, you
guys will dig 2 holes 4 feet deep, attach ropes to the top 4x4 and pull it
up sliding the end posts into the holes ......"

   Liam and I were looking at "Dad" ......  Ethan was waiting for the
response.  Liam said . . . . "Nope! Not today, not tomorrow
`Dad'...... we'll call that Woodard Construction guy and have him and his
guys come and put it up while we go horseback riding.  Then we'll know you
and the rest of us will live to see another day."  . . . .  Ethan looked
relieved, Jake was smiling that slightly clever smile he has, and I'm not
sure that was not what he had planned all along.  That Jake Roberts guy can
be pretty sly sometimes.

   "Hey has anyone seen Alex, Will and those two little destruction kids?"
I asked and sure enough there had been an escape.  Ethan and Abby were
first out the door flying across the porch and lawn running toward the
horse trailers.  There next to the barn were Justin and Kyle with Alex and
Will up on their shoulders so the 2 little ones could look in at the
horses.  Liam, Jake, and I soon were standing behind Abby and Ethan just
watching as Kyle and Justin were telling the other "Twins" all about
horses.

   The story was remarkable as told by the rug-rats; ...  We all stood back
and listened as Justin and Kyle told this story. . . . . Justin explained
....  "Well, it was a long, long time ago and the horses came from this far
off island of huge creatures where there were dragons and dinosaurs,"
. . . .  Kyle interrupted and continued ........ "and gigantic fish that
could fly.  On the island there were little people really small like you
and Will", as he was looking at Alex, ....  "but they had magical powers
and rode the horses all the time rounding up all the other animals and
putting them in a huge boat at night.  In the morning they would open the
door and let all the animals out."

   Alex and Will asked . . . . "You come from that place?" . . . .  Kyle
and Justin laughed and said . . . . "No, you guys so silly, our `Dads' and
Ethan told us all about them big creatures." ..........  Liam was about to
crackup and looked at me, Jake and Ethan and said . . . . "Kori, you
remember when `Dad' used to tell us stories like that, sounds to me like he
still does." . . . .  Standing there, Jake was smiling ear to ear and I
know he still does; but how did Ethan and I become part of this?

   I called Woodard Construction and they said they could meet us at 1pm if
it was convenient.  Then Mr. Woodard asked if I was the Kori that lived
with the teacher Jake Roberts.  I said yes and he seemed excited to know
that Jake and I had bought the farm.  We really needed to get a move on if
we were to have a good ride and be back in time to meet with Mr. Woodward.

   We checked all the horses and saddles; the 4 large geldings and the
large mare were for Liam, Jake, Ethan, Abby and me and the 2 smaller horses
were for Kyle and Justin.  Alex and Will would ride with Liam and Abby, we
were just walking this morning.  We passed through the lower pasture gate
heading toward the apple orchid.

   Justin's horse stopped to pee, of course we all waited, ..... Kyle was
off to one side watching, his eyes were so big as Justin's horse drop his
penis from it's sheath.  It was as long as Kyles arm and as always, he said
what he was thinking `excitedly' ......  "Whoa, Justin look down he's
peeing n his dick is so long, .... Ethan, his dick is much bigger n yours!"
. . . . "Shut up Kyle! ... I'm bigger than you, you little twerp" ...  he
was bright red and embarrassed.  I convinced Ethan that only Justin, Liam
and me could hear what Kyle said.  I told Ethan I would have a real talk
with Kyle.

   We rode on and Ethan was way up in front with Justin and Kyle right
behind.  Soon Liam was riding next to me and he just had to say
. . . . "Kori remember when we used to measure ours and Peter was always
bigger?" . . . .  We both started to chuckle and were happy that Jake was
far behind us talking with Abby as we began to remember other things like
with Riku.  Liam remembered .... "OMG Kori that kid loved sex I remember
the first time he sucked me up in the train room; I don't think you n Peter
knew about it, he did me a lot more but I only did him once." ........

   I looked at Liam and said . . . . "Holy sh... Liam I never knew you did
that." . . . .  Liam smiled one of those sheepish smiles and went on to
tell me that he wasn't so innocent or naive as I thought, but wasn't going
to tell me when we 11 and 12.  Then he told me that he let Riku suck him
off all over the farm when he was 11 and 12.  Then he said . . . . "Kori
you and Peter and even Garret were doing it too, so don't go thinking
stuff.  I bet Justin and Kyle know more than you and Dad think n you told
me they sleep with Ethan sometimes.  We both heard what Kyle said."

   All of a sudden we heard Jake close from behind saying . . . .  "If you
go any slower we'll spend the night here so let's get a move on." . . . .
Well, we were way back of Ethan and the rug-rats so we did move a little
quicker.  The ride all through the apple orchid was beautiful.  Some of the
trees were still producing a good number of Cortland and Gala apples and
the aroma was intoxicating.

   Soon we were back at the barn and had just unsaddled the horses when
Mr. Woodard arrived.  He was much older than I remember but then again, I'm
sure I looked much older too.  Mr. Woodward and Jake along with the rest of
us, except Abby, Alex, and Will, joined in the directions for the swing
set.

   I'm sure Mr. Woodard understood perfectly especially when Kyle and
Justin finished explaining just how high and wide it needed to be; then
they described how wide each seat had to be.  Justin and Kyle held their
hands apart and Mr. Woodard took a tape measure to get exactly that
measurement between their hands.  It was so cute to hear them describe in
every detail, it must have been when Jake and Ethan were talking about it.

   Mr. Woodard told us he would have the crew here at 2:30 and the swing
would be up by 5 but it would be best to let it set so the cement could
cure for at least 4 or 5 days.  OMG the rug-rats reaction; it was what
Justin said that took everyone by surprise as he said . . . . "Holy sh- -
Mr. Woodtard you no good builder my Dad could do it and we could swing
tonight!"  . . . .

   Mr. Woodard laughed but Jake was furious and quite embarrassed he looked
at Justin and Justin knew he was in big trouble.  With Kyle and Justin,
it's the eyes and Justin had great big tears already.  Jake just said
. . . . "House Now!" . . . .  Justin turned and started for the steps and I
could hear him crying.  Kyle didn't say anything but walked away toward
Justin; he stopped turned and looked at Jake and said . . . . "We don't
need no swing just forgets it."

   Mr. Woodard looked at Jake and said . . . . "Jake don't worry we'll have
the swing up and maybe we can figure a way the boys can use it tomorrow but
best you go take care of your boy.  I think he was just protecting you."
. . .  I have never seen Jake react the way he did but it was very obvious
to me, Liam and Ethan that Jake was feeling horrible right now.

   Jake walked off toward the house and Ethan, Liam and I just thanked
Mr. Woodard and walked him to his truck.  Liam was looking at Ethan and I
and said . . . . "Since Abby and I have been here we noticed how much you
all love `The Twins'.  Kori as much as you and Dad love both boys, and you
really don't show any favoritism the thing Abby and I have seen is that
Kyle has attached himself to you and Justin very much to Dad."  Liam was
correct Justin always crawls in Jake's lap and Kyle is always hugged up to
me and when they snuggle in bed it's the same.

   Moments later Jake appeared with Justin riding on his shoulders and Kyle
was skipping along then wanted up on my shoulders.  Jake's eyes were all
bloodshot and he appeared sad; kids can do that to you.  Ethan came to the
rescue when he asked Liam for a piggy back ride and they fell on the lawn
and it started another pig-pile and laughter and more laughter.

   It was a good time for hotdogs and hamburgers and the rug-rats agreed
because they were starving.  After lunch we decided not to ride but instead
to have a volleyball game and play horse shoes.  We called to have the
horses picked up and drove iron stakes in the ground so we could play horse
shoes.  Mr. Woodard and his crew arrived and began to put up the swing.
Abby put Alex and Will in the bedroom for a nap while we played volleyball.
It was Abby, Lian and Ethan against me, Kori, Justin and Kyle. ...  Liam
cheats!  Ethan cheats and so does Abby.  "So they won, so what."

   We all had so much fun.  The rug-rats attacked Ethan and Liam every
chance they got and I haven't seen Jake laugh that much ever.  I love him
so much.  The volleyball game was over and we sat for a few minutes having
cold drinks then went to that old shed part of the barn where we used to
have the camping gear and fishing poles and found some old horse shoes for
a game after dinner.

   I whispered to Ethan to go ask Liam to make his special Shepherd's Pie
for dinner.  Wowwww Liam was so excited and it was going to be a huge one
with lots of garlic bread.  The mention of garlic bread brought up Peter
and Neil and the next hour we all talked about those two characters and
that they would be giving up the business in Valberg and building a new
house and workshop down just past the lower pasture.

   It was late afternoon Mr. Woodard and his crew had finished the swing
and it was Big! Real Big and we all went to look at it; 5 seats and the top
was 12 feet in the air. ......  It was almost 6 when Liam began his famous
shepherds pie.  Three pounds of hamburger, eggs, applesauce, seasoned
breadcrumbs and a lot of other things.  In the oven for 1 hour and 14
minutes at 325 that was the secret.  While that was in the oven, we all
took a walk describing all the things we would do when we visited the farm.
Of course, Jake and I would still be teaching at Yale, Ethan would be back
at his school and the rug-rats at University school and swim team.

   Abby and Liam would be back at Boston but the best thing was that long
weekends, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and winter break we would be
at the farm.  We decided that it would be best to just have horses brought
over for when we were here.  It is almost the same driving time for Abby
and Liam as for us to drive up from New Haven.  We finished our walk and
just sat on the back porch and talked about how nice it was to have our
family back together and then there was the smell of the pie in the oven.

   Liam was in the kitchen when he hollered out . . . .  "Dad, Kori, does
Neil and Peter have the sleigh?" . . . .  I hollered back . . . . "Yep Neil
has it but its in Maine and I hope we can get it here as soon as Peter and
Neil get back for the winter."  Dinner was ready and being such a nice
evening, we ate on the back porch.  Liam had made the shepherd's pie just
like he always made it and it was so good.  Then it was ice-cream with
fresh strawberries and whipped cream.

   Everything cleaned up and now for horseshoes.  Liam, Kyle and Ethan
against Jake, Justin and me.  Abby sat with Alex and Will and took hundreds
of photos and video.  The game was even and it was Jake's turn he tossed
the shoe it hit the stake went around twice and there it was a perfect
ringer.  He had one more shoe to throw but he thought he twisted his wrist
and gave the throw to Justin.  We won!.

   We were all happy, full and tired.  It was time for showers and I was
looking forward to a little fun time.  Ethan took Kyle and Justin with him
and Jake and I had a few minutes to enjoy a nice warm shower together.  I
guess we were both more tired than we thought and Jake seemed really
exhausted.  We tried but tonight I think we really just wanted to sleep.

   Justin and Kyle came back from their shower with Ethan and kissed Jake
and I and said they were going to sleep with Ethan.  Justin whispered in
Jakes ear . . . . "Dad I love you." and off the rug-rats went.  I think
Justin was reassuring Jake that everything was fine and he wasn't mad.
Jake and I talked for about 20 minutes about how special this was; we were
just about asleep when the door opened and Justin and Kyle crawled in bed.

   I said . . . . "Hey I thought you guys were sleeping with Ethan
tonight?"  reply ...> "Nope he's texting Keith n told us to go sleep with
our Dads." .... Hmmm .... they've been in with Ethan for 20 minutes? Doing
what? and now Ethan is texting Keith and wants to be alone???  Dang Liam
has me thinking and it's probably nothing ............

   We were tired and in seconds were fast asleep.  About 3 I woke and Jake
was in the bathroom it sounded like he was throwing up.  He came back to
bed saying he ate to much and it was a long day.  I don't think it was even
a minute and we were asleep again.  I awoke again but this time Justin was
shaking me saying Dad's sick.  I looked at Jake and he was all doubled up
holding his chest.  I didn't even ask just reached for the phone and dialed
911.

   I told the operator send an ambulance I thought Jake was having a heart
attack.  I sent Kyle to get Ethan and Justin was holding Jake and crying.
Ethan came running and I told him to go wake Liam in seconds Liam and Ethan
returned and Jake was in terrible pain.  Ethan was able to get Justin to
let go but we could get Justin more than a foot from Jake as he was
screaming ....... "Dad I'm sorry over and over ............."

   Liam held Justin while Ethan ran to meet the ambulance.  It arrived in 5
minutes with a sheriff's car and it turned out to be Deputy Morgan.  Things
were all crazy and now Abby was up with Alex and Will.  Thank goodness
Deputy Morgan took charge.  We all got dressed best we could as they had
Jake hooked up to so many things and were wheeling him out and into the
ambulance.  Kyle and Justin were crying and just wouldn't stop and Justin
was screaming and sobbing to the point he puked.

   Morgan drove ahead of the ambulance lights and siren.  It was to the
same hospital as where my mom died, I was getting sick, Ethan was crying
and trying to hold Kyle and Justin.  Then Justin was on the floor throwing
up over and over.  We arrived at the hospital and they wheeled Jake in with
3 doctors at his side.  They brought a second gurney for Justin he had
completely collapsed.  They rolled him to emergency put an IV in with
something to stop him from throwing up and to calm him down and then gave
something to Kyle that in minutes put him to sleep.

    Liam, and Abby with the kids were in the emergency room with Kyle and
Justin and I was with Ethan just outside the room where Jake was.  I asked
Ethan to go stay with Justin and Kyle and ask Liam to come here with me.
It took Liam almost 5 minutes to Join me and almost immediately the ER
doctor came out and said Jake was stable but critical and they had called
for a life flight to Massachusetts General in Boston.

   Liam had turned very pale; I was sick and sweating and we could see the
lights and could hear the chopper as it was landing.  Only one of us could
go with Jake and that was going to be me.  Liam had his hands full getting
everyone else to Boston.  I gave the keys to the SUV to Liam and told him
to give the keys to Ethan and have Ethan follow Liam to the hospital there.
Then our friend Deputy Morgan said . . . . "No you both will follow me it
will be faster."

   Jake was being wheeled to the chopper and a doctor walked me out, I
stepped up and was strapped in and we took off for Boston.  Flying time was
20 minutes.  We landed and Jake went directly to surgery.  It was 2 hours
later when Deputy Morgan, Liam, Ethan, Abby, Justin, Kyle and the twins
arrived.  Morgan was carrying Justin and Ethan had Kyle.

   A doctor and a nurse with a gurney arrived for Justin and they
immediately hooked him up to and IV with electrolytes.  They explained they
had received all the information from the other hospital.  Justin was
severely dehydrated and the continued vomiting has caused small tears in
the esophageal mucosa.  Justin and Kyle were so young and had been through
so much, why ....................?  Now it was wait just wait and the
seconds felt like hours.

   Two hours later the surgical suite door open and the surgeon walked out.
It was his warm smile that immediately told us Jake would be fine.  He
explained that it was a blood clot that had caused the heart attack but
after a number of diagnostic procedures following the surgery they can't
say where the origin of the clot was.  It could have been something very
simple like a bump to an area where there was a weak blood vessel.

   The very good news is that Jake would be up and around tomorrow but with
limited exercise.  Moments later Justin arrived in a wheel chair looking
much better, his color had returned and so had his voice but very soft.
Jake was moved to a private room and only I was allowed to sit with him
until he was fully awake.  Outside Jakes room Liam and Ethan paced
continuously.  I felt Jake's hand squeeze mine, he was smiling and I knew
everything would be just fine.

   The surgical nurse came in followed by the surgeon and I was asked to
step out.  Liam, Abby, with Alex and Will, Ethan with Kyle and Morgan
holding Justin's hand all asking questions at the same time.  I could only
say he was awake and had a smile.  The door opened and the nurse and doctor
stepped out and said Jake was remarkable and it would be a very short
recovery.  We were all allowed in but only for a few minutes.  Just as I
was about to go back in the doctor pulled me aside and explained .........

   "Dr. Preydon I have spoken with the pediatric specialist that attended
to Justin and he and I have discussed what appears to be a very sensitive
and emotional relationship between Justin and Dr. Roberts" ........ I
interrupted and asked . . . . "Please call me Kori and Jake not
Dr. Roberts" . . . . The doctor smiled and continued . . . . "Ok Kori, we
feel that it's best for a quick recovery for both Jake and Justin that we
move a small bed in the room with Jake for Justin.  Justin feels that he is
the fault of Jake's heart attack and we're having a pediatric counselor
visit with Justin and Jake together later this afternoon."

   It was time for everyone to give Jake a rest break and time for me to
explain what was going on.  Kyle was glued to me and Ethan and Liam and
Abby understood but nobody was going anywhere till Jake was leaving the
hospital.  The only person that had to leave was Deputy Morgan.

   Soon a small bed was wheeled into Jakes room and rolled right up next to
Jakes bed.  Liam picked Justin up and put him on that little bed next to
Jake, they were both smiling and Justin was asleep in seconds.  A nurse
arrived with a cup of juice and a little pill for Kyle and soon after Kyle
was very calm and looked really tired.

   Abby thought it would be good to run home with Alex and Will to let them
have a lunch and a nap as their home was only 15 minutes away.  Liam stayed
out in the lounge area just a few doors from Dad's room and Ethan and I
took Kyle to the cafeteria for lunch.  We returned to find Liam asleep in
the chair and gave him a break so he could have lunch.  When Liam returned,
we took a peek to see how Jake and Justin were doing.

   We just peeked in and it wasn't really a surprise but the little bed had
been pushed away, and there was Justin all wrapped up in Jake's arms.
Ethan made the next move and quiet as a mouse pushed the little bed back
against Jake's bed and Kyle crawled up and was fast asleep in seconds.
Ethan, Liam and I turned just as the nurse walked in ..... uh-oh ..... she
smiled, winked and gently pushed Liam, me and Ethan out.

   Jake is remarkable.  The doctors said he was very strong and his
recovery was extremely fast and was released the next afternoon.  Where the
blood clot originated will just be a mystery and our family project now
will be to keep Jake calm and quiet for a week and make sure he takes all
the medicine.  Watching Justin, we don't think there will be any problem
with that he checks the clock about every 15 minutes and hasn't moved from
Jake except to pee.

   We were back in Ashfield and at the farm in time for dinner.  Liam
picked up all their clothes and toys gave Dad a hug and kiss and was headed
for their home near Boston.  Just before Liam left he turned and said
. . . . "Dad you're in good hands with Kori and Ethan and the rug-rats; but
you should know they all have my phone number and if you misbehave, they
will call me and then you'll have to deal with me ....... Just remember how
much we all love you." ...... We heard Liam as the Wrangler drove out of
the driveway.

"It's a late afternoon, in a library so big you need a ladder to reach the
top shelf that's the same height as the ceiling.   The library is so old
and hardly anyone goes there anymore, so the floor is covered in piles of
books that never got put away.   The only source of light coming from large
windows with the sun singing through, giving the room that warm golden glow
as you rest your body in a half-circled pile of books next to an old wooden
ladder.   A ray of sun falling nicely on half your sleeping face as you lie
there curled up with an open book on your chest.    The young librarian
casting his shadow over you for a moment before ruffling your hair,
removing the book and throwing his jacket over you, as he continues to walk
down the aisle letting you sleep, even though it's past closing time.   The
sound of him playing piano waking you for a moment, then lulling you back
to sleep as you know you are warm, safe, and right where you
belong.........."
