"Well, folks, we fly back to Memphis in
the morning at 9:00. I got the flight
rescheduled so the baby wouldn't have to get up so early and get his schedule
interrupted. Mom Isenberg, would you
like to fly with us and stay with Richard and Sally so you can help your
daughter?"
"Jaiden, I appreciate the offer, but you
don't need the added expense." "Mom
Isenberg, the cost of the flight won't even be a quarter of the interest I get
each month from our investments, so you are more than welcome. When Sally recovers sufficiently, and you are
ready to fly home, we'll make sure you get there in comfort and style. Dad Isenberg is welcome to fly to Memphis
with us too. We have an extra vehicle
you both are welcome to use, and you can stay at our house since Sally and
Richard's apartment is an efficiency apartment."
"Jaiden, thank you for the offer, but with
four adults and ten children already in the house, are you sure you have
room?" "Yes, mam, we do; we have nine
bedrooms total with four downstairs where it is quiet."
"Adelle, you can stay at Sally's and
Richards, and I can stay at Jaiden's.
That way, you'll be there to help Sally if she needs it. Then, when y'all are ready for me to come
over and bug you, you can call and let me know."
"Sam, why don't you just come over around
nine in the morning after you get up and get something to eat?" "I can do that, darlin'." "Good, then it is settled; we'll get peace
and quiet until our medicine kicks in so we can stand you when you get
there." "I didn't think about that,
Adelle; that idea works both ways."
"Keep it up, you old buzzard, and one day, I'll spike your coffee."
"Damn, that sounds like heaven, Adelle;
then, I won't have to see you clearly when I look at you in the morning." "All right, Sam; I warned you!"
Sam walked to Adelle, put his arms around
her, and said, "You know, honey, you are still cute when you are ticked at me,
and I love you more every day." "I know,
Sam, and I love you too; otherwise, I would have killed you long ago."
The guys went outside to sit on the deck
that evening, and Peyton asked, "Dad Isenberg, how long have you and Mom
Isenberg been married?"
"Forty-five years, Peyton, and we've cut
up as we did earlier for forty-five years.
I am scared that Adelle will go before I do, and if that happens, I
don't know if I can take that; I have loved
that woman since the day I laid eyes on her.
Damn, she was hot when she was young; still is for her age."
"You really love her, don't you, Dad
Isenberg?" "More than anybody will ever
know, Peyton."
"Her Daddy caught me at an inopportune
time, and he gave me a choice of marrying her or going to jail; if I'd gone to jail, I'd be out of prison and
off parole now."
Since the skeeters had come out and the
females were biting the men relentlessly, they decided to retreat to the den,
where the ladies were catching up on the day's gossip. Mom Riley asked, "Why did you boys come in so
early?" "The women out on the deck were
buzzing around and biting us, and we got tired of it, so we came inside."
"What women, Jim?" "The women from Sketerville,
Phyllis. You know how miserable those
old bats can make you." "They don't
bother me, just you and the boys. We old
bats stick together." "Tell me about
it!"
Peyton, Jaiden, Charley, and Dale
realized the boys weren't around and weren't making a sound, so Peyton asked
where they were. His mom said they told
her they were sleepy and going to bed, and then they went upstairs.
"By themselves, Mom?" "Yep, by themselves." "Oh, lord, I better go check on them."
A few minutes later, Peyton came back downstairs to the den and said,
"I don't believe what I saw." His mother
said, "And?" "They are all asleep on
their cots – naked as jaybirds." Jaiden
said, "You've got to be kidding me!"
"Nope, naked as jaybirds and sleeping soundly." "I wonder why they didn't put on their
pajamas?" "That's my fault, Jaiden; I
packed them this morning, forgetting they'd need them tonight."
The following morning, the dads got the
children up, dressed, and fed them breakfast.
Then they loaded the luggage into the van and got ready to head to the
airport. Peyton's dad said he'd drive
Richard, Sally, and her parents to the airport.
Peyton told his dad that wouldn't be necessary, that Jaiden had made
arrangements for them to be picked up and taken to the airport. At 7:30, a double-rear seated Rolls Royce
pulled up to the house.
Richard looked at the limo and said,
"Jaiden, you're crazy. We could have
ridden in a regular cab." "You could
have, but my nephew couldn't. He's about
to take his first chartered jet ride, and he is going to get to the airport in
style. I promise that when we get back
to Memphis, he can ride in a nice Lincoln with the best car seat money can
buy."
"Jaiden, on behalf of my wife and our
son, I thank you." "You're welcome,
brother-in-law. Y'all deserve the best
of the best, and you know it."
"I don't know about me, Jaiden, but Sally
and Seth sure do." "You deserve it too,
Richard, and you know it because I told you so long ago." That comment got Jaiden and Peyton a hug from
Richard and Sally. Sally may have let
little Seth give them a hug, too, but he was busy filling a diaper."
Richard didn't say anything as he took
Seth from Sally and went into the den to change his diaper. "Richard, I would have changed Seth's
diaper." "I know, sweetheart, but I
could do it and did it so you wouldn't have to.
It isn't fair for you to have to change his diapers all the time. I'm half the reason our son is here, so don't
you think I should have to share the dirty details?" "Now that you put it that way, sure. But whoever finds the dirty diaper first can
change it." "Deal, babe!"
"Phyllis, I couldn't ask for a better
son-in-law." "Adelle, I couldn't ask for
a better blessing in a son either."
As the families got on the jet for the
trip back to Memphis, Seth got on a plane headed back to Jacksonville and the
University of Florida. But, of course,
nobody saw Mom and Dad Riley get on a jet bound for Memphis; there was no way
they would miss Monday's Bris Melah of their newest grandson.
"Folks, we have been cleared to land in
Memphis; we should be on the ground taxiing to the terminal within twenty
minutes. Please take your seat if you
are walking about the cabin and fasten your seatbelts. Please remain seated until the plane has come
to a complete stop at the terminal. As
always, thank you for flying Anderson Charter Airways; we hope to see you again
soon."
"Jaiden, are you thinking what I am
thinking?" "What, Peyton, about renting
a van to drive to Brevard for the graduation ceremony and then chartering a
flight to Erie when we head home?"
"Yeah, I like the lesser travel time, and the children slept all the way
from Orange Beach to Memphis." "I was
thinking the same thing. Traveling an
hour and a half on a jet to get home versus traveling ten or more hours in a
van is a no-brainer."
"Peyton, I've talked with Granny's sons,
and they said they'd pick up their parents and Ginny and Gampy at the airport
and take them to their new homes.
Granny's daughter-in-law and son took care of having the new homes
painted and furnished to suit Ginny and Granny; all they'll have to do is get
their living room and bedroom furniture arranged once they get there." "Jaiden, I hope they like their homes being
like the houses here." "So do I, love;
we had everything designed to make their lives incredibly comfortable, and they
are nearby ours, so we can look after them in case they get sick."
When the jet landed in Memphis, they got
the children and their luggage loaded into their van to head home. Peyton pulled a Jenny on Richard and
Sally: when they got to their car,
Richard went into a near panic when he realized they didn't have a baby car
seat for Seth.
Dale, Charley, Peyton, and Jaiden stood by
their van laughing as they watched Richard dancing around, trying to figure out
what to do to get Sally and Seth home – and not get a ticket for not having the
baby in a car seat. Richard didn't want to read an article in the newspaper or online
saying, "Pediatrician Gets Citation For Not Having His Child In A Car
Seat."
Finally, Peyton walked to Richard's and
Sally's car and said, "What's wrong, Richard?
You seem upset about something?"
"We don't have a car seat for Seth yet, and I wonder how we will get
home without getting into trouble with the police, or worse yet, having an
accident and risk Seth getting hurt!"
"Richard, walk to the van with me for a
second." Charley picked up and handed
Richard a large box when he and Peyton got to the van. "Richard, take this to your car; I think it
will solve your and Sally's problem getting Seth home."
"Dale and I figured you didn't have a car
seat, and we didn't see anyone give you one in Orange Beach. Everyone seemed to do something for Seth, Sally,
and you, so Dale, the children, and I wanted to do something special for
y'all. We ordered this gift for you as
soon as Seth was born."
"Guys, thank you from the bottom of my
heart. I'll take it to the car and open
it with Sally." "OK, Richard, we won't
leave the parking lot until we're sure it fits your needs; we'll be right
here."
Richard carried the box to his car, and
when he and Sally opened it, Richard turned and looked at Dale, Charley,
Peyton, and Jaiden with disbelief. Then,
he walked back to the van, hugged Dale and Charley, and said, "Are you two
serious, a Nuna EXEC All-In-One Caviar Car Seat? That thing costs a fortune; I thought maybe a
seat more in line with what's sold at Walmart, but I never thought of something
that nice."
Charley said, "Richard, we may not be
blood-related, but we are family, and our nephew will have the best we can get
for him. The car seat should last him
until he gets big enough that he doesn't need one."
Tears rolled across Richard's cheeks as
he hugged and held Charley and Dale.
Then, finally, Dale said, "Richard, can you get the seat in the car
OK? Charley and I know two pretty good
engineers who should be able to get it installed just right if you need them to
help." "Thanks, Dale, but I think Sally
and I can get it in the car OK. By the
time I get back to the car, she'll probably have it installed and have Seth
sitting in it."
Dale and Charley walked to Richard's car,
and, sure enough, Sally had the car seat installed and had Seth seated
comfortably – asleep - in the car. She
got out of the car, tears crossing her face, and thanked and hugged Dale and
Charley. "Dale, Charley, this is so
nice; you shouldn't have!" Charley
replied – as Dale smiled – "the heck you say, our nephew is going to have the
best of everything if we have anything to do with what he gets."
On their way home, Sally looked at
Richard and said, "Sweetheart, as your mom says, talk to me."
"Sally, the past few years have been surreal
to me. First, you came into my life and
gave me a purpose I never had before; secondly, I have a family because THEY
chose to be my family; they didn't have to do that, but they did. And then...then you gave me the most precious
gift ever..."
"Richard, you are a fabulous man, an
incredible husband, and a brother like no other; don't you think you deserve
what you now have in your life?" "Sally,
I don't know if I deserve it, but believe me, sweetheart, I truly appreciate
everything Hashem has gifted to me."
"Honey, if you didn't deserve it, I don't
think Hashem would have given it to you.
I think you've earned everything you have because of the man you were
and are. And you know what, I am the one
who is incredibly blessed by having you in my life." Richard smiled for the first time since he
and his small family left the airport.
When Richard and Sally got home, their
phone rang, and it was Ginny calling to tell them she had lunch prepared for
everybody and to come on over. Everybody
was well, so Sally packed a diaper bag, and they headed for Peyton's home. The house would get exciting when Sally,
Richard, and Seth got there because the guys hadn't told Ginny and Granny the
baby had arrived.
The trio got to the
Riley-Reynolds-Leonard-Anderson home.
Nathan Robert said, "Daddy, Uka Ric an An Sally here wif Sef." "Peyton, I
didn't know Seth was coming with Richard and Sally; is he doing well in
school?" "In a manner of speaking,
Ginny, he is doing well, but he isn't ready to start school yet." That comment drew a curious stare from Ginny
and Granny.
Their wonderment was answered when Sally
entered the house holding little Seth.
Granny and Ginny went nuts, and the partying began.
The partying began with an enormous,
delicious mean of roast beef, mashed potatoes, roasted new potatoes, and
grilled asparagus, ala' Jaiden style – grilled!
Granny had sliced some of the beef roast and chopped it in the blender
so the children could enjoy it. Their
asparagus was cut into small pieces, and their potatoes had been mashed.
Granny asked Sally if she or Ginny could
prepare some formula for Seth, and Sally told them she had the food supply
under control. Then Sally threw a towel
over her shoulder and proceeded to breastfeed Seth.
Granny said, "You go, girl, that baby
will be a lot healthier with you loving on him that way. I sure am proud to see you decided to feed
your baby the way God intended for it to be done." Ginny spoke up and said she, too, was
incredibly proud of Sally.
The dads thought the children would want
to play after eating lunch, but they went to the bathroom and took care of
business. Then, when their dads got them
cleaned, they climbed into their beds and took a long nap.
The adults were sitting in the den
talking and drinking coffee when Richard said, "I need to run to the children's
furniture store to get a few things; would you like to go with me,
Peyton?" "Sure, but what do you need
from the furniture store?"
"Sally has some baby furniture in mind
that she chose for Seth, and I thought I'd go pay for it and have it set up for
delivery." "Do you have anything set up
for Seth to sleep in tonight?" "Not yet,
Peyton; I was going to get a bassinet and set it up when we got home."
Dale said, "we have Alaina's bassinet
upstairs, and everything is cleaned and sanitized; you're welcome to use it if
you like. Peyton spoke up and said,
"Sally, what if we put the bassinet in the large bedroom downstairs. You and Richard can stay in that bedroom
until you get things set up for Seth at your apartment or until you recover
enough to feel like doing something.
Your mom and dad can stay in one of the bedrooms so your mom can help
you. The bedrooms are comfortable and
quiet."
Ginny said, "Sally, take the offer,
Granny, and I can do the cooking, so you and Richard will eat right, and your
mom can focus on you and Seth instead of housework and cooking."
"Ginny, I don't want to be a burden on
you and Granny." "Baby, you won't be a
burden to Granny and me; we've already talked about what we wanted to do. If you stay here, we also get to spend time
with our new grandson."
"Ginny, you, and Granny are going to help
his uncles spoil Seth rotten, aren't you?"
Ginny didn't say a word as she turned her head toward Sally and cut a
sly smile." Richard, he started
laughing. He was proud that so many
people were loving Seth, Sally, and him because they wanted to – not because
they had to or were expected to.
"Charley, don't forget, Sally and her mom
are downstairs!" "Oh crap, I forgot;
sorry." "By the way, you may want to
stop hanging a brick from that thing before it starts dragging the ground; if
it gets any longer, you can tie it in a knot, or you can tie it in a bow, and
then you can throw it o'er your shoulder like a continental soldier!"
"Where did that come from, Jaiden?" "I was over at Greg's house one day, and he
was griping about how his baby breastfeeding had sucked all the beauty out of
his wife's perky breasts. She heard him
and then walked through the living room singing, "Do your boobs hang low, do
they wobble to and fro; can you tie `em in a knot, can you tie `em in
a bow; can you throw `em o'er you
shoulder like a continental soldier, do your boobs...hang...low. In your case, Charley, you can change the
word boobs to your hose pipe."
"Jaiden, do you wonder how it got this
long?" "The thought did cross my mind,
Charley." "Well, I was making love to
Dale, and I got stuck. We tried
everything to get me unstuck since we didn't want to go to an emergency room on
an ambulance gurney to get help. I
finally was able to work my feet in between Dale and me, and when I gave a hard
push, I came out of Dale with a loud pop like a cork coming out of a full
champaign bottle."
"I bet that hurt." "Yeah, it did, Jaiden. But you know, it made it so long that I can
get a little booty and a blow job at the same time." "TMI, Charley!" "You started it, Jaiden. Of course, you know my dick is no longer than
yours, but thanks for the compliment."
"Charley, you're crazy." "Nah, not crazy, un-shy, and brutally
honest." "I'll agree with that. And I'll admit that's part of what makes you
so much fun to be around – and to love."
"Aw...Jaiden, you love me!" "Platonically, Charley, platonically."
The next morning Charley, Dale, Peyton,
and Jaiden rode to work together after eating breakfast. Dale kept a frown on his face and rubbed his
throat as the guys drove toward the hospital.
Jaiden made the mistake of asking, "Dale, you don't seem like you feel
too well; are you OK?" "Not really,
Jaiden. Charley made love to me last
night, and my throat was sore after he climaxed and laid over on the bed."
Jaiden exclaimed, "Damn, I just knew that
comment I made last night would come back and bite me in the ass!" Peyton asked, "what comment, Jaiden?" When Charley explained to Peyton what Jaiden
had said the night before, everybody in the car erupted with laughter.
"Jaiden, you reckon if I get stuck while
making love to you and get myself loose the way Charley did from Dale, I might
be able to scratch your throat the next time we make love?"
"Damn, this is going to go on all day,
isn't it." Peyton replied, "Oh, I don't
know about all day, maybe at opportune times, but not all day." Without saying a word, Jaiden thought it
would be a very long day for him – and it was.
Every time Peyton walked past Jaiden,
especially at the nurse's stations, Peyton frowned and rubbed his neck, and
Jaiden turned several shades of red.
Finally, one of the nurses asked Peyton if he was OK and why Jaiden
turned red every time Peyton walked past him.
Peyton explained to the nurse, as politely
as he could, that it was a private joke involving Dale and Charley, whom all
the nurses also knew. Then, the nurse
started laughing and said, "watch Dr. Jaiden the next time he walks by."
When Peyton noticed Jaiden walk by the
nurse's station and abruptly stop, throw a notepad in the air, and rest his
head in his hands, he knew Jaiden had been had by the nurse. A few minutes later, Peyton heard over the
intercom system, "Dr. Peyton, please go to 3 main...Dr. Peyton, please go to
three main."
When Peyton got to the nurse's station,
Jaiden was standing there with fury in his eyes, or so Peyton thought. Jaiden pointed his finger at Peyton like he
was about to give his husband pure hell, and before he could get his first word
out, he burst out laughing. "Dang, you,
Jaiden, I thought I was about to get my butt crawled!"
Every nurse at the station was laughing
with Jaiden, and this time, it was Peyton who turned several shades of
red. "Peyton, can we call a truce on
this?" "I guess so, Dr. Jaiden; I really
don't have a choice, do I?" "Nope, not
unless you want to keep swapping pranks all day." "Truce!"
At lunch, Jaiden and Peyton were joined
in the hospital cafeteria by Dale and Charley.
Jaiden asked, "Dale, is your throat OK now?" "It is, Jaiden; Charley gave me some cream to
swallow, which helped tremendously."
Jaiden had been gotten again and called for a four-way truce which
caused extreme laughter at their table.
When the guys got home later in the
evening, Granny and Ginny had dinner ready.
It appeared to be quite a spread:
German Rouladen and gravy, fresh, homemade creamed potatoes, broiled
asparagus, baby English peas, a salad with Ranch dressing for everybody, and a
congealed gelatin salad. The dads were
concerned about whether or not the children would eat the Rouladen and
expressed their concern to Ginny and Granny.
"Young men, just watch your children when
I give them the Rouladen chopped up."
"Ginny, are Gampy and the Reverend coming
over for dinner?" "We thought we'd cook
something for them when we got home."
"It looks like there is enough food for them and ten more people. Would there be enough if they came over for
dinner?" "Yes, but we wouldn't have much
to put in the freezer for later, Jaiden."
"We can always prepare more later on;
please call them and tell them to come over for dinner; I don't like the idea
of you two being here all day, preparing dinner for everybody, and then going
home and cooking again." "Are you sure,
Jaiden?" "Positive, Ginny."
Granny called Taylor and Ginny called
Ezra, and they were at the house for dinner a few minutes later. Everybody had a good time at dinner, talking
about the past week's activities, doting on little Seth, praising Sally for her
stamina, and Richard for his patience.
Richard said, "Ginny, Granny, if I have
patience as you have said, it is because of the amazing brother and
brother-in-law I have; they have gone out of their way to make everything easy
for Sally and me, and I am incredibly grateful for that."
"Richard, what was it like to be in
Orange Beach and be surprised by your son's birth?" "Granny, it was surreal. We had no idea Sally was in labor when we got
to Alabama - until Mom freaked out and had Dad call a doctor friend from their
synagogue. He came to the house,
examined Sally, and immediately called an ambulance. Then, about a half-hour later, Seth was
here." "That fast, son?" "Yes, mam, Granny."
"And then big Seth walked into the
hospital room about two hours later and surprised us. You might say the day was magical. Everybody cried and then partied at dinner
that night. They brought dinner back to
Sally and me at the hospital. We hated
not getting to eat with everybody at the seafood restaurant, but what they
brought us was so good."
"When they went home, I lay next to
Sally, and we fell asleep until the nurse came in and told me to get off the
bed. I tried to pull rank on her, and
she let me know real quick that I wasn't a doctor there, and that she was in
charge."
"What did you say to her, Richard?" "Ginny, I said yes, mam, and got off the
bed." "You're an intelligent young man,
Richard; she would have probably eaten you alive if you hadn't done what she
said." "There's no doubt about that,
Ginny; she always had Sally's comfort and well-being in mind."
"I'm just a man with a beautiful wife I
love more than anything in the world, who now has a perfect son, and you know
how we men are." "That I do, son, but at
least you're a good man." Sally said,
"Amen to that! They don't come any
better."
Peyton cleared his throat, and Sally
said, "Well, maybe except for Jaiden."
Peyton cleared his throat again, and Sally added, "...and Peyton, Dale,
and Charley." Peyton smiled and gave
Sally a kiss on the cheek. That's the
point at which Seth started whimpering.
Jaiden got up, got a diaper, and gave it
to Richard. "Why are you giving me a
diaper, Jaiden?" "I know that cry, and
Sally needs her beauty rest, so get your butt up and change your son's
diaper." "Jaiden, you're his uncle; you
can change his diaper as easily as I can!"
"Richard, if you don't want to change that diaper, give me the clean
one, and I'll do it for you."
"Everybody started laughing when they
heard Jaiden gagging. Richard smiled,
looked up, and said, "I know that cry, too!"
That comment threw everybody into hysterics, especially Sally's parents,
who both said, "Richard, you learn quickly, son." "Mom, Dad, I do, and getting Jaiden to change
that dirty diaper is priceless! I love
it."
Jaiden walked back into the den and
commented, "Richard, you knew, didn't you?
You set me up, didn't you? You
knew I was going to gag, didn't you?"
"Jaiden, I plead the Fifth; I ain't saying
nothing!"
A few minutes later, Jaiden heard a noise
coming from his boy's room upstairs.
"What the heck is that? Richard,
you might as well get used to getting up to check on your son, so come with me
and get some practice."
When they got upstairs, and into the
boy's room, three boys weren't in bed.
Jaiden knew where they were, but Richard didn't, so he looked at Richard
and asked him to see if the boys were in the bathroom.
When Richard walked into the shower room,
the boys were sitting on the toilet – as Jaiden walked in behind Richard,
closed, and locked the door, and tossed Richard a roll of toilet paper. "Brother-in-law, there is no way to be better
prepared when the time comes than to have experience for the task!"
"Damn you, Jaiden, you knew, didn't
you?" "I plead the Fifth, Richard; I ain't saying nothin'." Richard helped Jaiden clean the children and
get them into bed before returning to the den.
When he got there, Sally and Peyton were smiling from ear to ear.
Sally looked at Richard and asked,
"Honey, did you learn anything?" "I did,
sweetheart; don't set Jaiden up, lest he gets you back."
Again, everybody was rolling on the
floor, laughing at Richard's
response. He had indeed learned a lesson
– it wasn't as bad a task as he thought it would be, and it made him feel
closer to his nephews, something he didn't believe was possible.
"Y'all know, that usually isn't a
pleasant experience – wiping someone's fanny, but I must admit, it helped me
realize just a little more how much some people rely on us – especially
children. So, Jaiden, thank you for
helping me to learn that."
