GIVE WHAT YOU CAN TO KEEP NIFTY UP AND RUNNING!!! Chapter 46 I slept pretty well on the single bed, it was 4:30 but I stayed in bed watching my grandson and Zachary sleep. I wanted to get up so bad, but didn't want to disturb the rest of the house. I know Andrea would be getting the boys up at 7 or try to anyway. Sr. said he was going into the office by 7:30, so he would be home by 4 in order to fry the turkeys. I waited till 5 then got up and decided I was going to go for a run or semi run for an hour. It was dark but I took a flashlight with me. I was amazed almost every house had their Christmas lights lit including my family. I weaved my way through the neighborhood and even ran into other joggers. My only concern was dogs, but I think this neighborhood didn't let their dogs out without a leash, if there were any. I got back around 6:30, I felt good like I did something, and after all we only walked yesterday. I put coffee on and jumped into the boys shower, they were smart buying a house with 3 full baths. Nobody made a sound and when I came back to the kitchen Sr. was grabbing a juice and leaving telling me have a good day. I looked in on the 3 older boys and they were sleeping. I went into Stephan's room the two of them hadn't moved at all. Stephan was behind Zachary with his little arm holding on to him as much as he could. I knew Andrea had our old waffle iron, and found it; I put together batter and started making waffles, keeping them warm in the oven. I made about 24 waffles and started on a couple pounds of turkey bacon. I would wait on the eggs, seeing who wanted what. I know Andrea and I like our eggs fried with waffles and pancakes. Zachary and Stephen were starting to come around to it also. But I didn't know what taste the other three boys had. I was just finishing the bacon when Andrea came in. She had already woken the other three. She said Stephen and Zachary were up and plotting something. The three older boys came in and took over setting the table from their Mother. They were in reasonably good spirits as Eric put it we are up but we don't have to go to school. They still had a week off from school. These poor kids very seldom had a snow day not like us up north. Stephen came out still in his pajamas and said he wasn't getting changed till after breakfast, his reasoning is Papa says I eat with gusto and sometime I make a mess with breakfast. I asked what did he do with Zachary he said he was making the beds and getting dressed. Andrea asked why he wasn't helping. Stephen said I tried but Zachary said it would go faster if he did it. The three older brothers said that was the truth. Zachary popped in still in his flannels and said he would wash up and shave after breakfast. I know it killed him not to touch me, but I got the smile. I took the egg orders and it was 3 for scrambled and 4 over easy. Stephen told the brothers you don't know what you are missing mixing the yolk with the syrup and waffles. They just went 'ewwww', he says look at Papa and Zachary they are strong and that is how they eat them. Then he added plus they taste so good. Andrea told them less talking and more eating. I asked "What do you boys want to do today, go to the movies, play video games, or tag football?" The 3 older boys wanted to go see the new Marvel movie, Andrea put a nix on that saying she still wasn't comfortable having her family sit in a crowded theater. The boys booed her and she said I don't care there are still cases out there. Why would you want to do something like that when Papa will be leaving tomorrow. The boys agreed and decided on flag football. While we eating I said "what kind of sweet potatoes mashed or candied?" Again it was unanimous for mashed. I had bought 10 pounds so there would be more than enough. It was a nice leisurely breakfast I got to talk more with Stuart and Eric. They are good boys, they are all Sr. they are the Brainiac's, not that the other two aren't, but you know these two will go somewhere. I asked them when they wanted or if they wanted to visit their old Papa, and both said they would like to in the summer, but would there be room for both. I said if you don't mind sharing a bed. Stephen looked hurt, and I said to him come sit on my lap. I explained to him how Eric and Stuart never had a chance to visit like you and DJ and it is only fair. He agreed, so Andrea says how Sr. may have to fly north for his late Dad's estate maybe we can do something with that, there is no way Stephen was going to fly alone and I agreed. She added I'm not sure even about Eric and Stuart being 11 and 9 going by themselves. He looked like he was going to get smart mouthed but surprisingly Zachary looked at him as if to say keep quiet and he did. We finished breakfast the boys cleaned up and loaded the dishwasher and I set about baking off the sweet potatoes. They went to play video games and I said we would play football once I finished. Andrea and I were alone in the kitchen as Zachary went to play with the boys. I said to her let Stephen fly up with Sr. I still have family leave so if he has to come twice if it is close together let him stay with me for a week or so, I won't mind and I know Zachary won't either. But I was concerned about Eric and Stuart feeling slighted, she said don't worry about that, those two have so much going on in their lives the same as DJ. I said "what about you, wouldn't you miss him?" She said "Of course he is my baby". Then I proceeded to tell her what I overheard Stephen telling Zachary about what he was planning for 'spring break'. Andrea goes "Dad he is only 5 can you imagine when he is a teenager." I told her they were all thoroughbreds and he is going to be like her and I and have no fear of anything. I finished off the potatoes and had made the stuffing while they were baking off. All that was left was a salad and making the peas, Andrea took over dressing the birds. She decided to make one in the oven. I figured out what time to put it in so both birds would be done at the same time. While I had the boys occupied, she wanted to do some shopping like wrapping paper, cards and what not for next year. We went out in the bag yard to play ball, the boys kind of grumbled but I said you need to get some air. The only one really excited was Stephen we chose teams it was me, DJ, and Stuart against Zachary, Stephen, and Eric. I acted kind of hurt when Stephen says he wants to be on Zachary's team. He looks at me and just says "Papa, Zachary played football last year in school, when was the last time you played football?" Zachary wanted to laugh as did I, after all the little shit had a point. I and the other boys said "that's ok, we are going to beat you anyway." We would have won too if Stuart didn't run the wrong way twice and scored for the other side, but hey he is only nine. So the score was 12 to 0. We broke for lunch about 12:30; the boys all looked handsome with color on their faces. By the time we were done Andrea was back and had put the turkey in. I asked what they wanted for lunch and gave them the choices. Eric, Stuart, and Stephen wanted the left over pot pies from last night, DJ wanted a yogurt and fruit, Zachary and I had the same, and Andrea opted for a grilled cheese. Zachary and I played board games the rest of the afternoon with the boys till it was time to start getting dinner ready. Dinner was ready at 5:30; the boys were they said it was like a Thanksgiving do over with all their favorites. Stephen told Sr. about the game, and we both assured Stuart it was a natural mistake to get turned around, I said when you are young and inexperienced the first thing you think of is running to the nearest goal. Sr. agreed telling him that his logical mind sought out the fastest route. Stephen was going to say something smart mouthed but my look told him otherwise. After dinner was finished and everything was put away and straightened out Sr. and Andrea were going to see friends for an hour or so. I told them to stay longer but Sr. said he had work. Eric and Stuart facetimed with some friends, DJ was going over a friend's house for a while, so the remaining three watched a movie. Everyone had showered and got ready before the movie. Let us say that I only lasted 20 minutes into it. Before I knew it Stephen was nudging me telling me to go to bed that I was snoring and they couldn't hear the movie. He seemed to get a big kick out of that. I got up to go to bed, and he says Papa don't forget you are sleeping with me tonight. I went in and fell right asleep, must have been all that turkey. Zachary came in while Stephen was in the bathroom and gave a good kiss it was the first time in over 24 hours we had any kind of human contact. I immediately got hard and so did he; we got a few pecks in before we heard the toilet flush. The little man came in and told me to scoot over I was on his side and he wanted me to hold him. I saluted and said 'yes sir' which of course made him giggle, he said goodnight to Zachary and it was lights out. He whispered to me Papa I love you, and I said I know you do. I told him I would miss him. Zachary was asleep before we were and you could hear his whistle. Stephen nudged me and I said what, He half turned and whispered Papa he started already and giggled. I said Ssshssh you will wake him up and then he says he loves Zachary like he is his older brother. I told him he Zachary thinks the same of him. The night flew by got up and went for another jog/semi jog and by the time I came back SR. was up getting ready to leave. Sr. says he will be flying up after the first of the year for his Dad's estate, evidently there is problems with his siblings, so this may turn out to be a long drawn out thing. But he is all for taking Stephan with him and bringing him to me to stay for the few days he will be there or maybe longer. He was close to his Grandfather on his Mother's side and visited him as much as he was allowed and he sees Stephen's bond with me and wants it to grow. I said "I had no problem with that and also wanted it." Sr. told me to have a safe trip and he would see me in a few weeks. I made French toast with the challah bread I bought and made more turkey bacon. I was just about finished cleaning up the mess when everyone started to come into the kitchen. The flight was at noon and we should be there by 10:45 seeing how crowded it was when we landed. Zachary made the beds for Andrea; all we had to do was shower and finish packing. The three older boys had plans after breakfast and they said their goodbyes. Stephen also had a pre-planned play date, but didn't want to go. I told him to go have fun with his friends and we will face time in a couple of days. He holds on like DJ does when we hug, and it makes my heart swell. Traffic wasn't bad which I was glad for her sake and she still cries when I leave and I told her I would text when we landed. We were on our way home by 1:20; it was about 20 degrees colder than in Virginia. Zachary's Explorer didn't take long to heat up. I texted Andrea while we were waiting for the vehicle to warm up. Even in Connecticut the traffic wasn't bad it seemed everyone was heading in the opposite direction. After stopping to grab milk we were home by 3pm, we unloaded the car and Zachary ran across the street to get our mail and visit. While he was there I unpacked our bags and started laundry which was basically what we wore last night and what was here when we left. I got the sheet spread on his bed and got almost naked and waited for him to come back home. Zachary was gone about the time for the clothes to finish he threw them in the dryer and called out to me; evidently I nodded out and said I was upstairs. He ran up the stairs, and looked in my room first, then his and was surprised at that he found me, naked except for my white socks. I have never seen Zachary get undressed so fast, I handed him the Palmer's and he lubed himself up. There was no foreplay I was on and in him in seconds. The moan and watching his eyes go up in his head, I knew I had hit the right spot. We had a lip lock on each other, and he was holding on to me for dear life. I felt him tense up and he dropped a good size load between our stomachs and I wasn't that far behind him. We lay there without moving and we were both still hard. I started kissing, licking and biting his neck, I asked if he was ready for round two he just held on tighter and slipped his tongue into my mouth. This time we lasted about 20 minutes and I was done, but I stayed in him till I got soft enough to slip out of him. He jumped up and ran to the bathroom; he had my two loads in him. He came back with a warm wash cloth and cleaned me up and we laid there and snuggled. Neither one of us fell asleep we just talked about the trip. It was starting to get dark and the Christmas lights came on. Zachary said we were invited for supper if we wanted at the grandparents, it wasn't a big deal whether we went or not. I told him we had our own leftovers from Christmas to finish and to ask them if they wanted any of ours since theirs was gone. They laughed and said "No Thanks." While I got things warmed up Zachary put all our clothes away, we sat and ate, he cleaned up grabbed a Klondike bar and came and sat on my right leg and I took a bite of the ice cream, I'm glad we froze all of the cookies they will be good in another month or so when I am craving something sweet. He suggested we go for a walk I was up for it neither one of us had worked out since Dec.26. I said tomorrow we are going back to the gym, he agreed. We walked for almost a good hour and went back and took a shower and watched some TV. We were in bed for 9:30 and asleep in no time. We were going to the gym for 6am seeing that tomorrow was the 30th and I wanted to get what I needed for New Year's Eve. And then I just wanted to relax at home.
