"Good morning, Tonny; are you feeling
somewhat better this morning?" "I'm
trying to, Dr. Jaiden, but it's hard."
"What do you mean?" "I miss Jake
not being up here this morning, and I'm still upset about making you angry
yesterday. But, Dr. Jaiden, I really
didn't mean to do that; I really didn't."
"Tonny, you're going to have to let
that go. I've already told you I wasn't
angry; a little disappointed, yes; but angry, no. I only want what's best for you, and right
now, as I see it, what's best for you is for your cancer to go away and stay
away. Everything that has been done to
help you can be undone by a simple cold virus."
"If I didn't do or say something about
what I saw between you and Jake, and you got sick, that would tear me apart
emotionally. I care about you, and I
would feel like a failure if something I could have stopped happened to
you."
"Besides, when we all get to Erie and
have the big party, you have to be well enough to come to eat hotdogs,
hamburgers and have some of Mr. Dale's homemade ice cream at our synagogue."
"You're going to have a party at your
synagogue for your patients?" "Not just
any patients, and not necessarily all patients, Tonny; the party will be for
patients who do what the doctors tell them to do."
"Dr. Jaiden, how will you know who
does that?" "Patients who do what they
are told to do by their doctors usually have good results. We have ways to make sure you take your
medicine correctly and on time. We can
also tell by your energy level."
"And before you ask, yes, Jake can
come with you if you come to the party.
We may even have the party at the beach if the weather is good."
"Erie has a beach?" "Yes, it does. Have you ever studied the Great Lakes around
Michigan, northern New York, and Maine?"
"Yes, sir."
"The beach in Erie is at Lake Erie, one
of the great lakes. It's a lake, but
it's as big as some oceans in the middle east."
"There are some catches to attend the
party, Tonny: you have to keep
progressing in treatment, you have to take your medications correctly, you have
to eat responsibly, and you have to maintain a healthy weight. Sometimes, if the water is too warm for a
long time, it can have harmful bacteria in it.
So if we go to the beach, the doctors will have the water tested to make
sure it is OK for our patients to go in."
"Now, before I go, can you think of
something you will enjoy about getting ready to go to the beach with
Jake?" "I'm not sure; what do you
mean?"
"Think about it: what do you have to do before you go to a
beach?" "You have to put on a bathing
suit." "And?" "And what, Dr. Jaiden?" "What do you have to do before you put your
bathing suit on?"
"You have to take your clothes and
underwear off." "That's correct,
Tonny. And if you and Jake are getting
dressed in the same room, what does that mean?"
Jake didn't say a word as a smile spread across his face.
"What are you thinking, buddy?" "I can't put on my bathing suit unless I get
naked, and neither can Jake. So, if we're in my room naked, with the door shut,
we can sneak a hug and a quick kiss; and I can feel his warm body on
mine."
"Yep!
So let me ask you this: is that
worth following all the rules and getting well?" "What do you think, Dr. J? "Tonny, you are one smart teen!"
"By the way, you won't be getting
dinner from the hospital tonight?" "If I
don't get dinner here, what am I going to eat for supper?" "What did you tell me your favorite dinner
is?" "Liver and onions, with creamed
potatoes and asparagus."
"You are going to have four visitors
tonight who have the prettiest sun tans you have ever seen. The ladies cook the best liver and onions you
have ever put in your mouth, and my brother, Dale, grills the best asparagus
you have ever tasted; that's what my friends are bringing you for dinner since
you have done so well this week."
"But I disobeyed you!" "They don't know that, and if you tell them
about it, I am gonna put my foot in your butt; understand?" "YES, SIR!"
`That's what I thought, Tonny. So
enjoy the treat, buddy; I promise the ladies are the best cooks ever."
"By the way, Tonny, one of the ladies
raised me when I was a little boy until I went to high school." "Which one, Doc?" "Figure it out and tell me who she is
tomorrow." "OK, thanks, Dr.
Jaiden." "You're welcome."
That evening at 6 p.m., Ginny, Granny,
Gampy, and The Reverend walked into Tonny's room, introduced themselves, and
placed the food they brought in front of Tonny.
Ginny and Granny were puzzled when he looked at the food and didn't try
to eat it.
"Tonny, is something wrong?" "No, mam, I don't eat until everybody says
the blessing." Ginny and Granny looked
at their husbands as they all got up and walked over to Tonny's bed. Tonny looked at them and asked, "Can we hold
hands like we do at home? Granny said,
"we surely can, son."
They joined hands, and Tonny began to
pray, "Lord, thank you for my new friends who were so kind to bring me this
wonderful food that is going to help my body get stronger. Bless the hands of the ladies who prepared
the food and bless Grampy and Grandpa who brought them to the hospital so they
could give me this food. And Lord,
please bless Dr. Jaiden and Dr. Peyton; they are neat doctors, and they really
care about me. Thank you, Lord; I love
you. Amen.
When Tonny finished his blessing for
the food, the four adults in the room had tears in their eyes. It had been a long time since they felt so
blessed by someone they prayed for and tried to make happy. The men and their wives would have a story to
tell Jaiden and Peyton when they got home.
When Tonny finished his meal, he said,
"that was delicious; I wish I had some more.
It was so good!
Granny glanced at Ginny and said,
"Martha, peek out the door and make sure nobody is coming to the room." Ginny looked out the door and said the coast
was clear. That's when Granny grinned
from ear to ear and said, "young man, you better not tell anybody, even Dr.
Jaiden and Dr. Peyton, about this." Then
she pulled another plate of food out of a paper bag and put it in front of
Tonny. He dove into the food like a child
jumping into a pool and ate every morsel of food on the plate.
When Tonny finished his meal, he laid
back in his bed and watched tv while he talked a little with his new adult
friends. After a few minutes, Ginny and
Granny noticed Tonny had quietly gone to sleep, so they and their husbands
quietly gathered the plates and utensils and stepped out of Tonny's room, and
headed home.
As soon as they got home, they stopped
by Jaiden's and Peyton's to tell them how their meeting went with Tonny. "Jaiden, I have never seen a boy put away so
much food. Of course, you ate a lot when
you were a boy, but I swear, you don't hold a cotton to that boy and what he can eat."
"Granny, did you surprise him with the
extra plate of food?" "Son, you know I
did, and I told him he better not tell anybody, even you. I have never seen a teenager shovel down food
the way Tonny ate that second plate of food – and you know my boys eat a
lot!"
"That's good. Did y'all get a chance to pray for him?" "Not in the room because he fell asleep soon
after eating, so we went out in the hall and prayed for him."
"Tonny is my first case to see in the
morning, so I'm going to have some fun about that second plate of food. I'll see if I can get him to admit it to me
before we talk about anything else, and before I examine him." "Jaiden, you can be so devious when you want
to be." "And who taught me, Ginny?" "Guilty as charged, son!"
The following morning, Jaiden went
into the room and pulled Tonny's chart up on the computer. He was shocked by what he saw, so he called
Tonny's parents and asked them to come to the hospital for a short conference.
When they got to the room, the nurse
let Jaiden know they were with Tonny.
Jaiden called Tonny's room, and his mom answered the phone. "Mrs. Fitzgibbons, this is Dr. Jaiden; I'm
tying up some loose ends on a case before I can come to Tonny's room. If you and your husband would, get Tonny
talking about his feelings and get a feel for his attitude. When I get through with this case in a few
minutes, I'll come to get you, and we can have a talk in the conference
room. I'll be there shortly."
Jaiden went to Tonny's room five
minutes later, got his parents, and took them to the conference room. He pulled Tonny's chart up on the computer
and had Tonny's parents sit on each side of him.
"Mr. Fitzgibbons, Mrs. Fitzgibbons, I
had the lady who raised me, and the lady helping raise our brother's children,
cook some calves liver and onions and bring it to Tonny last night. He thinks I don't know about the second plate
of the liver and onions he ate, but it was a plan we cooked up for him. He ate every morsel of food on each of the
plates."
"Ginny, the lady who raised me, and
her husband, Gampy, who was my adoptive father after my dad was killed in a
plane crash in Africa, and their best friends, Granny and the Reverend, prayed
over Tonny after he went to sleep. I
have had what I am about to show you happen in another case where they prayed
for the child. I am simply going to let
you see the results of the blood tests from last night and this morning, after
they prayed for Tonny, and then we can discuss the results."
"Dr. Jaiden, are the results bad? Is something going wrong?" "Just read the results of the blood tests to
the left of each test, and then we'll discuss the tests."
The Fitzgibbons' looked at the long
list of blood tests run from the night before and again that morning. They read down the list of results and were
in shock.
"Dr. Jaiden, what does this
mean?" "It means that as of last night
and this morning, Tonny shows no evidence of cancer anywhere in his body. I had an MRI run this morning, and the MRI
showed the same results as the blood tests:
there apparently is no cancer in Tonny's body.
Every time Granny, Ginny, Grampy, and
the Reverend have prayed over a patient of mine, the results have been what we
are seeing for Tonny."
"Due to the results of the blood tests
and the MRI, the doctors had staffing this morning on Tonny's case, and we are
all in agreement that he needs to go home in the morning if tomorrow's tests
show the same results.
You'll be given a list of rules Tonny
must abide by, then I'd like to see him
in my office in Erie on Wednesday, June 15 at 10 a.m." "I'll give you my
personal cell number to call me if you need to before I see him in Erie; that
is if you want me to continue to be his doctor."
"Dr. Jaiden, we have already discussed
that, and we have every intention to remain with you and the other doctors in
your practice."
"Well, thank you for your vote of
confidence; it means a lot to me. I'll
get Dr. Peyton to stop by this afternoon and check Tonny so we can make sure we
are on the same page before he goes home."
"Now, if y'all don't mind, I like for
us to go to Tonny's room so I can aggravate him a little before I see my next
patient. When we go in the room, try to
look a little disgusted."
"Tonny, your parents and I have just
had a discussion about your case. Based
on things I have seen in your tests, it appears you had more than one plate of
food last night; do you want to tell me about that?" "Extra food, Dr. Jaiden?" "Isn't that what I said, Tonny?" "Yes, sir, it is."
"SO!"
"OK, I did have an extra plate of liver and onions, and it really was
good. I didn't want to say anything and
get anyone in trouble." "So, you're not
going to tell me who gave you that extra food?"
"Not if I don't have to; I promised the person I wouldn't say
anything. Besides, it was someone you
knew who gave it to me. I'm not in
trouble again, am I?"
"No, I just wanted to rag you a little
bit; I know Granny gave you the extra food because I got her and Ginny to cook
it for you!"
"Dr. Jaiden, that was mean; you had me
scared to death." "Tonny, did I tell you
I was angry or upset?" "No, sir." "Did I look upset?" "You didn't look mad, but you didn't look
happy either."
"You are correct, so what do you think
your parents and I want to discuss with you right now?" "I'm not sure; I just hope I haven't made
y'all angry at me because I've tried hard to be good like you told me to be."
"Tonny, I'm sorry I don't know how to
tell you that there has been a dramatic change in your case." Tears started to well up in Tonny's eyes as
he thought his cancer had gotten worse.
"Tonny, hold on to those tears, son; they're going to come in very handy
in just a second."
"Tonny, you know we ran blood tests
last night and this morning, and I had exray run a full-body MRI on you. Unfortunately, there is nothing else we can
do for you in the hospital, so we have to send you home. Everything shows you don't have cancer
anymore. So you get to ring the bell and go home after lunch; however, you will
need some help getting ready to go home, so I had someone come to the hospital
to help you get ready and to help you get home."
Jaiden opened the door to Tonny's
room, and Jake walked in. He climbed
onto the bed and sat next to Tonny. The
only difference between today and the last time Jake was in the room was that Jake
had an N-95 mask on.
Jaiden told the parents to meet him in
the conference room. He would complete
the release papers and give them a prescription for the pill Tonny would have
to take for at least the next few years to ward off his cancer's return. As they turned to go out the door to the
conference room, Dr. Jaiden pulled the covers back from the end of Tonny's bed,
pulled one sock off Tonny's foot, and handed it to Mr. Fitzgibbons. Tonny's dad looked at him and said, "this
sock will be on the door handle outside as we discussed yesterday. We'll be back in an hour or so."
Jake looked at Tonny and asked what
his dad meant by saying the sock would be on the door handle outside. Tonny told him what his dad said about a sock
on the door handle at home, then looked at Jake and asked, "Well, are you or
not?" It didn't take another second: Jake stripped off his clothes, climbed into
the bed with Tonny, and cuddled as close to his love as he could. They were so comfortable together, and Jakes'
body felt so comfortable to Tonny against his skin that before they realized
it, they had fallen asleep.
An hour and fifteen minutes later,
Tonny's parents returned to his room, and the sock was still on the door
handle. Finally, Tonny's dad peeked into
his room and saw he and Jake were sleeping hard, so he motioned for his wife to
quietly enter the room.
They looked at their son resting so
peacefully, with Jake holding him tightly.
They couldn't help the tears that fell from their eyes as they smiled at
the loving sight of their sleeping son, with the one person who loved Tonny
almost as much as they did.
They sat in Tonny's room and read
books they brought to the hospital. Then, almost two hours later, the two boys
awoke and freaked that Tonny's parents were in the room with them. Jake was so scared that the parents could see
he had started trembling.
Mr. Fitzgibbons said, "Relax, Jake, we
have seen teenagers sleeping before. You
can't help it that after you fell asleep that your clothes somehow slipped off
your body and fell on the floor. That's
the point at which Jake turned at least ten shades of red.
Tonny's mom being the liberal she is
and had always been, said, "Jake, don't worry, a penis with a little hair
around it isn't any different than a younger one without hair; I've seen'em
all. So when y'all get ready to get up
and get dressed a little more than you two are right now, don't worry, we'll
stare at you and see how embarrassed you get."
"MOM! PLEASE!" "OK, son, I promise, we'll stare at both of
your naked bodies, not just Jakes'."
"Son, don't let your mom get to
you. We don't care if you two love each
other and want to snuggle. We think the
two of you are a cute couple. So, when
you get ready to get up and get dressed, just say so, and we'll step outside so
you won't be embarrassed, OK?"
"Mr. Fitzgibbons, I'm already
embarrassed, so getting up to get dressed wouldn't bother me any worse with
just you in the room, but I would like for Mrs. Fitzgibbons to go into the
hallway so I can get up and get dressed."
Mrs. Fitzgibbons stepped into the
hallway, and Jake got up to get dressed.
When he did, Mr. Fitzgibbons got a look at his naked body and nearly choked
when he saw that Jake's flaccid penis hung two inches below his knees.
Jake and Tonny decided to take a walk
down the hall and back. When they
started their walk, Tonny's mom returned to the room and sat down to resume
reading her book. Mr. Fitzgibbons said,
"Margarete, be glad you went outside while Jake got dressed. If you had seen what I saw, you would have
fainted."
"Why do you say that, Douglas?" "Jake's very soft pogo stick hung at least
two inches below his knees." "You have
to be kidding me!" "Nope, dear, not in
the least. I hope Dr. Jaiden has that
safety talk he mentioned to the boys, because they are going to need it."
"Jaiden walked into the room as
Douglas finished his sentence and said, "why are they going to need that talk?"
"Dr. Jaiden, Margarete stepped out of
the room when Jake got up to get dressed.
He had said it wouldn't bother him for me to stay in the room, so I
did. When he got up, his flag pole at
its most flaccid state hung at least two inches below his knees."
"Damn, what happened to me?" "You know, Doc, that's the same question I
asked myself." "I'll go ahead and have
the safety talk late this afternoon before I go home. That way, if they slip around and have an extracurricular
activity, they'll know how to do it safely. "
"Dr. Jaiden, I would appreciate
that. I don't think after seeing Jake
that I would know how to explain what they both need to know, and believe me,
it wouldn't be because I am embarrassed to talk with them about the
subject." "Don't worry, Mr. Fitzgibbons,
I'll talk to them this afternoon before I go home."
Jaiden met Peyton and Richard for
lunch in the cafeteria. Since they were
in the doctor's lounge, they discussed several of their patients – including
Tonny. "I have to examine Tonny – and
Jake – before I go home tonight. It
seems Jake has something that could be a problem for Tonny, so I have to talk
to both of them."
Peyton and Richard asked Jaiden what
could be so bad that he needed to examine Jake and talk to Jake and Tonny
together. "Tonny and Jake cuddled and
took a nap this morning – sans clothing – and when Jake got up to get dressed,
Mr. Fitzgibbons was in the room and got a good look at Jake. He said he nearly choked when he noticed that
Jake's flaccid appendage hung a few inches below his knees. When I went to the room on rounds, he asked
me to have the `safety talk' with the boys because he wouldn't know what to say
or why, so I told him I'd do it this afternoon; I hope I'm not too blunt with
the boys." Richard commented that it was
better to be too blunt with the boys than not informative enough, and Peyton
agreed.
Later that afternoon, before the
doctor's headed home, Jaiden took Jake and Tonny into the conference room,
turned off the lights, and started a video.
It thoroughly explained and showed
examples of what the two boys needed to know to have a safe sexual
relationship. It was funny how both boys
were very red-faced when the video was over, and Jaiden turned the lights back
on; it took all Jaiden could do to not burst out laughing.
"So, guys, that video was graphic,
explanatory, and told it like it is. Do
either of you have any questions for me?"
Jake spoke up and said he didn't after seeing the film, but he would
have had beforehand, and Tonny, he didn't say anything; he was mortified at
what he had just watched.
"Jake, are you embarrassed at what you
saw on the video or because I was in the room while you watched it?" "A little of both, Dr. Jaiden."
"Why?"
"It's just that I have something most
guys don't have, and everything has to be a little different for me, and
sometimes I forget and have problems."
"What's different, Jake?" "Doctor Jaiden, it seems I got my dong from
King Kong." Jaiden started laughing as
he said, "Jake, six to eight inches is the rule for when you use your
tool. Less is OK, but more isn't; just
be very careful."
Tonny said, "But what if we want to
give each other a blowjob; what then?"
"Tonny, that's something you have to control in that situation if Jake
is pitching and you're catching. Take
things very easy and work on getting to the point you can take in a little more
at a time. Over time, you'll find that
you'll both be able to give each other more pleasure. You don't want to go too fast and risk
damaging any part of your throat.
Surgery to repair that kind of damage is very painful."
"Jake, you said it seemed your dong
came from King Kong. Just how long would
a dong from King Kong be?" "Twelve
inches soft, fourteen when it's hard."
"You are much longer than the average
three and a half inches soft that most men are, but your other measurements are
in line with the average. For example, an erect penis generally is about three
inches longer than a flaccid penis, so you're average in that regard. A good rule for you to follow is that if what
you are trying to do is exceptionally uncomfortable or too painful, don't do
it."
"Intercourse will be painful
initially; you'll have to go slow at it and use the products and do the things
you watched in the film; it should become more comfortable if you do that. Now, any questions you'd like to ask
me?"
"No, sir, not right now; that was a
detailed video. Tonny and I have to talk
about things." "That's a good idea. You guys take it easy tonight; I need to go
home, see my boys, and eat something for dinner."
"Jake, I think Dr. Jaiden and Dr.
Peyton are right; we need to hold off on booty bouncing until we are older and
more responsible. I don't think we
should do that right now." "Me either,
Tonny, but I don't want to give up holding you and feeling your warm body
against mine." "Jake, that ain't gonna
stop; nope, nada, no way!"
Hey, guys, Daddy's home!" Suddenly, five little boys charged Jaiden and
began climbing all over him with four nephews and a beautiful little
niece.
Jaiden ran to the den and lay on the
floor playing and laughing with the children.
It would be nice to go outside and play hard on the ground, but as it
does in the south this time of year, storms were moving through with warm air
trying to usher Winter out and Spring in.
Jaiden played with the children until Peyton had changed clothes and
swapped places so Jaiden could have a quick shower before dinner.
As Jaiden headed to his room to shower
and dress for dinner, Charley and Dale came in from work and played with the
children. Peyton took the chance to
surprise Jaiden by climbing into the shower with him.
"Babe, turn around, lean against me,
put your head on my shoulder, and close your eyes."
Jaiden did what Peyton told him to do
and cooed when his lover took a luffa sponge and began to softly bathe his
back. Once Jaiden's back was done,
Peyton knelt as he gently washed Jaiden's lower body. Then, with the luffa in hand, he cleaned the
front of Jaiden's torso as sensually as possible.
Peyton stood and retrieved a soft
Egyptian cotton washcloth and soaped it up with Jaiden's favorite face
soap. Then, he cleaned every part of his
husband's head with a feathered touch.
But, Jaiden's face having been cleaned, there was one area of anatomy on
which Peyton wanted to spend a lot of time:
the love tool.
The warm washcloth felt amazing
against Jaiden's most sensitive skin. As
his husband bathed the central part of his anatomy, thoughts of college, the
initial emergence of his and Peyton's relationship, the love they shared, and
the closeness they felt...it all raced through Jaiden's mind. As the beauty of their budding relationship
played in his mind, Jaiden rose to the occasion.
Jaiden's change in Peyton's presence
didn't go unnoticed. Peyton dropped the
washcloth, took Jaiden into his hand, and began to suckle Jaiden's sausage like
drinking milk from a cow's teet. He took
in the entire length of Jaiden's rigid oak tree, making him weak-kneed.
The guy's shower is large, six feet
long by four feet wide. So, after
Jaiden's oak tree rapidly released sap at its meatus, he sunk to the shower
floor and laid down as Peyton cleaned the remaining juice from his oak tree.
When Jaiden got his breath back, he
went and lay on his stomach on the bed.
Peyton retrieved Jaiden's beloved lotion and massaged it into Jaiden's
back and legs, flipped him over, and did the front of his body.
Jaiden, now totally relaxed, dressed
and went to the den with Peyton. When
Charley and Dale heard them walking down the steps, Dale went to the kitchen,
prepared them a cup of coffee the way they like it, and served it to them when
they sat on the couch.
"Dude, you look totally relaxed. When we came in the door, Dale said you
looked like you'd had a busy day."
"Charley, I am, and I did. Thank
you two for watching the children so Peyton and I could take a shower. After being in the hospital all day, there is
no telling what germs are on our clothes when we get home."
"We need to eat something for dinner;
what do you think about going to the synot restaurant?" "Jaiden, what is the synot restaurant?"
"Charley, in your head only, say synot
backward." "You don't want to get someone antsy, do you, Jaiden?" "You got it!"
"I'm game if everybody else is
game." "Dale? Peyton?"
Peyton said, "game," and so did Dale, so to Tony's they would go. The children would find out when they got
there.
When they pulled into the parking lot
at Tony's, the children started squealing.
This particular evening, the children would be getting a surprise for
dinner; their dads wouldn't be asking them what they wanted. Instead, the children would be getting
pepperoni and cheese pizza – and skety.
When the waiter asked what the guys
and children would like for dinner, Jaiden ordered a small pizza for each child
and a family-style bowl of skety with the children's special sauce.
The dads would cut up the skety and
let the children eat it along with the pizza they were having. As usual, when the children finished their
dinner, Alaina Noelle asked if they could have some ice keem, so Dale relented
and ordered it for them.
Normally, as early as it was, the
families would go to the park so the children could run off some of their
energy and the food they had eaten. So,
Peyton turned to the children and asked, "Would you guys like to go to the park
and play for a little while?" The
typically always quiet child, David Alexander, spoke up and said, "Cold, Daddy,
cold." The rest of the children seemed
to agree, so they went home.
When they got home, all the children
ran upstairs to their rooms for some reason.
A few minutes later, the outspoken, never shy Nathan Robert walked back
into the den as naked as a jaybird and asked, "bath, Daddy, peeze."
The dads went upstairs to bathe the
children, but they were in for another surprise: all the boys said, "I do it,"
and got their washcloths after the dads got them soaped up and then bathed
themselves.
After their baths, the children put
their nightclothes on, ran to the den, and climbed up on the couch. Finally, Alaina Noelle asked, "stowee, Unka
Jadin?"
Jaiden went to the bookshelf and
picked out a book titled It's OK To Make Mistakes by Tom Parr.
The children didn't make a sound when Jaiden read the book to them. When he finished the book, the children went
to their rooms and bed.
The dads had a cup of coffee, some peach
knishes and gave the children time to fall into a deep sleep. Then they went to their own rooms, shut and
locked their doors, and turned out the lights leaving only the light of the
moon to illuminate their rooms.
Peyton was standing in front of the bay
window when he removed his clothes. His
naked body glistened in the light of the moon, prompting Jaiden to rise to the
occasion. He walked to Peyton, threw his
arms around him, and held him tightly as he said, "Tonny is right, babe."
"How's that, Jaiden?" "There is nothing that feels better than the
bare body of the one you love as that body is pressed against yours." Peyton leaned in, kissed Jaiden lightly on
the lips, and said he agreed. On the
other side of the hallway in Dale's and Charley's room, the mood and scene were
no different. Both couples were standing
in the light of the moon - looking like perfect bronze statues.
