Jaiden was still sleeping and I was enjoying seeing him sleep so soundly and so peacefully. When he started waking up, I noticed something I had not seen in a while, Jaiden's smile was back. I snuggled up to Jaiden and laid my head on his chest and put my hand up to his face and started running my hand across his hair. Jaiden looked down and saw my red eyes and he asked me what was wrong and I told him nothing. Then I asked him, "Do you have any idea what you are doing right now, what you were doing when you woke up?" "Not really, Peyton. What am I doing that has made you tear up? Please tell me I didn't do anything wrong again." "Jaiden, you haven't done anything wrong. What you are doing is so right and I see something I haven't seen in awhile and it makes me more than happy." "Peyton, what is it you are seeing?" "Your smile, sweetheart. Just your smile. I have missed it so terribly." When I said that, Jaiden rolled over to me and held me as close as he could and gave me the sweetest kiss I can remember. I have davened for this moment since the mishap. Jaiden looked at me and asked, "have I told you how much I love you lately." "In many ways, Jaiden, in many ways. To have the true you back, to see your smile again, I don't know how to describe the feeling that is giving me. Right now, I don't want this moment to end because I am feeling so blessed and so happy. I have a happy spouse back. Welcome home my love, welcome home." We got up, dressed, and met Dale and Charley in the kitchen's breakfast nook. I am so thankful Dale loves to cook because I don't and Jaiden loves his cooking. Dale and Charley took one look at Jaiden and walked over to him hugged him and said, "welcome back, Jaiden, we have our brother back and that is so awesome." We ate breakfast and since med school starts on Monday, we decided to go get our schedules, get our books, and buy the supplies we would be needing. Then we were heading to Penn State to do the same for Dale and Charley. We were amazed at how simple the process was. What surprised all four of us was that when we put the notebooks, pens, and other supplies down with the books at the register, the cashier told us that a full-ride scholarship meant just that at LECOM, all supplies included. We thanked her and bagged the books and supplies and headed to the car. When we got to Penn State, Dale and Charley were told the same thing: full-ride means just that, everything is included including incidental supplies. It was nearing lunchtime, so we decided to head to Tony's. Phil was there when we arrived and we asked if he got moved in ok and he said yes and that the bed was mega comfortable. He got his clothes unpacked and put in the dresser and chest of drawers. Then he told us he had met Ginny when she got there. He said she tried to get him to let her cook his lunch but was ok not doing it when he told her he was the manager at Tony's new place. Phil asked Jaiden, " if you got upset and said something a little cross if Ginny would crawl your case." Jaiden nearly died laughing and said she would do exactly that, and if what you say is a little bit too `cross,' she would probably tan your hide as well. Phil laughed and said he had thought correctly. He also said Ginny is a neat lady. Jaiden told Phil he didn't know how special Ginny was, that she had raised him from birth until high school. Phil looked at Jaiden and said, "so, she knows you pretty well and you can't get away with anything." "Pretty much." "Guys, before I forget, Tony told me to tell you that your pizza pass allows you to get whatever you want to eat, anything that is on the menu, so sit down and look through the menu and see if there is something besides pizza that you think you would enjoy." Dale and Charley said they would like to try the eggplant parmesan. I looked at Peyton and he said, "why not, let's try the same thing." Phil had the server bring us 3 sweet teas and one unsweet tea with Stevia for Jaiden. When the food arrived, Dale took one bite and said the eggplant was cooked as it should have been, that it was crispy even under the sauce. Dale was right, it was delicious. When we finished eating, Phil said he wanted us to try a new dessert on the menu, Italian Wedding Cake. We use Dale as our barometer on whether food is good or great. When he took a bite of the cake, he closed his eyes and savored the bite of cake. We knew it was perfect. As we were getting ready to head home and read ahead in our texts, a customer walked up to us and said, "I thought so, you are the guys whose picture is on the wall just inside the restaurant. Peyton replied, "You are correct, sir. This handsome young man to my right is Jaiden Riley-Reynolds, I am Peyton Riley-Reynolds, and the other young men are Dale Leonard-Anderson and Charley Leonard-Anderson. When Peyton told the man who we were, he stood there with his mouth agape and said, "wait until I tell my son who I met today. He has wanted to meet you since reading all the stories about the four of you. He is going to be so jealous." The gentleman then introduced himself as Pete Gray. Jaiden looked at him and said, "Mr. Gray, it is nice to meet you. Give your son my cell phone number and tell him to call us tonight, we would love to speak with him. Mr. Gray said, "please, I'm just Pete. I'll give your number to my son and I'll tell him to call you before Monday since I know med school starts Monday and you will be very busy after that. Jaiden told Pete not to tell his son we will be at Tony's on Saturday around noon. Bring him in and sit at the table to our right. We will try to sit at this table and see how long it takes him to recognize us from the mural on the wall or recognize our voices after we talk to him. Pete told us we were very nice to do that for his son. Dale told Pete that Jaiden and Peyton could encourage his son the way they had encouraged him and Charley. Pete thanked us and said he would see us at lunch on Saturday. We got home and told Ginny what we were going to do Saturday and she said she would love to be there and see that boy's face. Jaiden looked at Peyton and then back at Ginny and said "why can't you be there? You are more than welcome to bring Gampy and have lunch with us and see how long it takes the boy to realize who we are. His Dad is going to bring him to Tony's at noon on Saturday. We will talk to his son on the phone and then on Saturday we will see how long it takes him to recognize us from the mural or to recognize our voices from the telephone call." Ginny laughed and said, "you young men are so devious when you want to be. Saturday is going to be fun!" We went to the den and started reading our textbooks. We want to read two chapters per day and have twelve chapters per text read by Monday. We all think that will help us get a good grip on what we will face when classes start. Ginny looked at us trying to be studious like Dad Leonard instructed us to be. She grinned and shook her head as she said, "Jaiden, you haven't changed one bit. You still work hard on your studies just like you did through grammar school and high school. And to see Peyton, Dale, and Charley working just as hard, I am so proud of all you young men." Jaiden got up and hugged Ginny and told her that without her guidance, he might not be so studious and serious about school. She smiled and kissed him on the cheek. Boys, I am going to head home now so you can study without being bothered by me. Do me a favor if you will: before I come back, say Friday, leave something messy so I'll have something to do." "Ginny, when you are here, we all want you to be able to relax and not be so busy." Ginny said, "I love you boys too," as she walked out the door. We all smiled at her comment. By dinner time we had finished three chapters in each text. It was grueling, but we did it. Peyton and I are blessed to have parents who are doctors because we already knew much of what we read today. Charley and Dale said their texts didn't seem as hard as the engineering classes at Wellstone. We hope that is the case. We hadn't run in a while, so we decided to change into our running gear and try for three miles. We were going to need our runs to keep stress down. We got our run in and when we got home, it was VERY evident that we all needed a shower. So Peyton and I headed to our bathroom, Dale, and Charley to theirs. To be honest, I was scared to death to take a shower with Peyton. We haven't done that since the incident at Moms. Peyton could feel my apprehension and he told me to stop the fretting. He undressed and I was scared to start, so Peyton did it for me. We got in a warm shower and he started bathing me. When he completed the task, he looked and me and told me I knew what to do. Talk about a cat in a room full of rocking chairs, that was how I felt. I did what Peyton wanted and it was kind of cathartic for me. What took me by surprise was when Peyton went to his knees and began giving me oral copulation. I came close to fainting. After about 10 minutes, I climaxed and Peyton smiled at me. "See, Jaiden, we take it easy and enjoy each other's bodies. That is part of being married. A bit of tenderness goes a long way." Jaiden simply and softly kissed me. We got out of the shower and dried off. Jaiden took me to the bed, laid me on my back, and cuddled up to me. He started kissing me rather tenderly and then started spending some time on my neck and nipples. When he was comfortable with what we had done, he began to move down my stomach following the contrails of hair leading to the pleasure capital of Erie. When he took me in, I closed my eyes and enjoyed every minute of having my real husband back. It took the same amount of time for me to climax that it took Jaiden, and when it happened, the tears started. My tears scared Jaiden, but I assured him they were tears of joy because I not only had the smile back that I loved so much, but I also now have my lover back. Jaiden snuggled up to me and said, "thank you, Peyton, for helping me through my fears," "That is part of what I am here for, sweetie. That is what I will always be here for, to support and help you through whatever we face together. We fell asleep holding each other and slept until Dale woke us up for dinner. We had left our door open and Dale told us he almost lost it when he saw us back snuggling with each other, asleep, and with smiles on our faces. His eyes got a bit red as he said that and turned to return to the kitchen. I took Jaiden's face in my hands, kissed him, and told him how much I loved him. He smiled, I melted. After dinner, we went outside to sit on the deck. The Kravitz boys saw us and ran over and asked if we wanted to practice catching the baseball. Jaiden smiled and told the boys "of course we want to play ball with you fellas." The Rebbetzin saw the boys over at the house and yelled to us that if the boys were bothering us to send them home. Jaiden told her it was just the opposite; they were helping him to smile and finish off the day happily. The Rebbetzin smiled and went back inside. About an hour later, the Rabbi called for the boys to come home. They gave Peyton and me the best hugs ever. If our children turn out half as good as those boys are, we will be blessed beyond measure. I am still having problems with guilt; it is so hard to reconcile what I did. What I want more than anything in this world is to be able to look at Peyton and not see hurt. We are new to his area and I don't know what I can do with him that would be romantic, stress-free, and create memories that will help erase my feeling of guilt. I talked to Rabbi Kravitz and asked him what the most romantic thing I could do for Peyton would be in Erie. Without hesitation, Rabbi said a Lake Erie Bay sunset cruise on the `Lady Kate'. I checked out the `Lady Kate' and booked a sunset tour for Peyton and I. It would be just the two of us. After the cruise, I am going to take him to the Bayfront Grille at the Sheraton Erie Bayfront Hotel for a romantic dinner sitting outside on the bay and then head upstairs for an evening's stay in a room overlooking the beautiful sites of Erie Bay at night. When we get in the room, I bought some CDs with the songs `I Will Always Love You' by Mariah Carey, Elton John's `Don't Let the Sun Go down On Me', Tina Turner's `Rolling on the River,' and Lady Gaga's `Million Reasons.' Music from "The shirtless Violinist' will also be playing for most of the evening on our MP3 and CD on the television. I want Peyton to truly feel loved, to feel wholly appreciated, and adored. It has to be a special night for him. Charley and Dale came in and I told them of my plans so they wouldn't look for us Friday night and I asked them not to tell Peyton or say anything around him. Peyton is at the Rabbi's house tutoring David in environmental biology. He is determined to help David get an `A' in the course, and from what Peyton says, David is taking it all in and he should get a high `A' in the course. If he does, he gets $10 from Jaiden and me. If he makes all `As', he gets $10 for each course, and $50 is a lot of money to a ten-year-old. So, David is working extremely hard. I talked to Mom and she got a good laugh about David trying to earn that $10 per `A'. I told Mom if he makes all `As' on every report card, that should set a pattern of studious work on his part and he will be all the better for it. She agreed. I told her about my plans for Jaiden and me on Friday night and she said it was an awesome, romantic idea and she hoped it would reduce some of my stress. I certainly hope so. When Peyton got home from tutoring the Kravitz children, he was in good spirits. He was truly in a great mood when he discovered Dale and Charley had prepared Chicken Piccata, grilled asparagus, and garlic-infused creamed potatoes. That is one of his favorite Italian meals. After we had eaten, Peyton and I cleared the table, rinsed all the dishes, and put them in the dishwasher. Everybody went into the den to rest and watch a movie since the reading schedule had been met for the day. I walked in the den and asked Peyton if I could see him on the deck for a little while. He said, "on the way, love." When Peyton came to the deck, I was playing music by the `Shirtless Violinist' on the computer via auto-forward on YouTube. I had my head in my hands, so when Peyton saw me, he said, "what's up sweetheart?" "Peyton, please sit down with me here at the table, I have something I have to talk to you about." He had a worried look when I said that with the tone I used. When he sat down, I told him he could not stay at the house Friday night. Peyton asked why with a bit of hesitation and trepidation in his voice. Peyton, you can't stay here Friday night because I will not be here. He said with some alarm in his voice, "Jaiden, why can't I say here Friday night and why won't you be here Friday night, where are you going to be?" "Peyton, you can't stay here Friday night because you're are going to be with me. It's a surprise, so I won't tell you anything about the night until we get to where I have planned to take you. I hope you love what I have picked out and I hope it will be the most exciting, most loving night you have had since we've been back stateside." "Now, I have told you all I am going to about Friday night. Would you please do me the honor of taking a long walk with me on this beautiful, early evening?" "It would be my pleasure, my dear sir!" I stuck my head inside the door to the den and told Charlie and Dale that Peyton and I were going on a long walk together. Dale said to have a good time and make it quality time. "Dale, that is precisely what I intend to do." While we had been at the house for two and a half weeks total, we had never driven through the entire neighborhood much less walked through it. Peyton and I walked past the Rabbi's home toward the circle at the dead end. We walked around the circle and back to the first street we had passed. We made a right on that street and walked to the main road in the subdivision. One of the things Peyton and I noticed as we walked through the neighborhood was how beautifully all the homes had been kept up and how beautiful the yards were. There was so much color that reminded us of the beauty of the tenants of marriage; you take care of what you love, who you love and you nurture everything around you. If I didn't get anything else from this walk, it was that I need to be tender, gentle, and loving to Peyton. We were holding hands as we walked and I pulled Peyton's hand to my face and inhaled deeply to smell if not to taste the scent that reminds me of just how fortunate I am. There is not a billionaire in this world who is richer than I, not one! When I pulled his hand to my face, I softly kissed it and told Peyton how much I love him. He looked at me and smiled without saying anything. I told Peyton, "you know, you are a lot like Mom." Peyton sort of laughed and then told me, "Yeah, if I had a cup of coffee in hand, and if I had a home office, I would smile at you and walk into the office and close the door." We both laughed at that and I hugged Peyton. He said, Thank you, Jaiden!" We walked back toward the house and got stopped twice by neighbors. Each said they had read everything that was printed in the newspapers and broadcast on the evening news shows about us and how nice it was to meet us. They welcomed us to the neighborhood and said if we had time one day to stop by and say hello. We told them we would do that, but medical school was going to occupy the majority of our time with classes, research, and everything else the professors could challenge us with. One of the neighbors with whom we spoke was a surgeon, so he was able to laugh at our comment to him. He said, "son, how well I remember. The first year is the most butt-kicking year and the remaining 3 years is learning, memorizing, and putting into practice what you have learned. If I can help you in any way, please call me. Here's my card with my cell number on it for the two of you. He said if we ever wanted to watch a surgery to call him. We gave him our telephone number and address and told him if he has a particularly interesting case to call us and we would try to be there. I called Mom when we got back and asked her if by chance if she knew Dr. Peter Brannon. Mom bluntly asked, "Jaiden, where did you get his name?" "So, Mom, you do know him." "Too well, Jaiden. He was my boyfriend during the beginnings of med school until I met your Dad. He just didn't measure up to your Dad to me. Do you happen to have his telephone number?" "Yes, mam, I do? "Jaiden, call him and ask if he knew a Peggy Anderson, a dark-haired Jewish girl with an attitude and then call me back and let me know what he says." "Ok, Mom, but what if he asks for your number? "Give him the clinic number. I'll let Becky know he might call and tell her to let me know as soon as he does." "Call you back in a few Mom." As soon as I hung up, I called Dr. Brannon, apologized for bothering him, and asked him if he knew a dark-haired Jewish girl with an attitude named Peggy Anderson. Dr. Brannon said, "my word, I haven't heard that name in years. We dated for a little while in the first year of med school in Philadelphia. Son, how in the world do you know her? "Dr. Brannon, she is my Mom, Dr. Peggy Anderson Reynolds." "So, your Mom married Abe." "Yes, sir, she did. Dad was an orthopedic surgeon at St. Jude's Medical Center and Mom practiced emergency medicine nearby. She has owned and practiced emergency medicine at a clinic in Abingdon, Virginia since Dad was killed in a jet crash in Africa where he was working in a children's medical clinic doing a sabbatical to help needy children there." There was a moment of silence before Dr. Brannon said anything. "Jaiden, I suppose you were rather young when your Dad passed away." "Yes sir, I was." Jaiden, I guess by now you know your Dad was also an orthotics engineer and designed many devices for children so they could walk after bone removal from cancer." "Yes, sir, but I just learned about that fact a few weeks back when I came to LECOM to meet my professors and to take Dale and Charley to meet their professors at Penn State. The young man I was walking with earlier, he is Peyton Riley-Reynolds. We got married at the end of the spring semester at Wellstone." "Whoa, you are `that' Jaiden?" "Yes, sir, I am, and my spouse is that Peyton." "Damn, I had no idea. I truly want to help you now." "I understand why I lost out to your Dad; he was that great of a person. I am so sorry he left this world way too soon. Do you think your Mom would mind if I called her?" "No sir, she said to give you this number at the clinic. She is going to let Becky know you might call and to let her know when you do. She practices emergency medicine, so she may be tied up when you call, but she will call you back." "Thank you, Jaiden, I'll call her tomorrow." "Oh, by the way, Dr. Brannon, she is still just as stubborn as ever." "Thanks for the heads up, Jaiden." "Sure thing, Doc." I called Mom and let her know he was the same person and told her what he said about Dad. That shook Mom up. She was silent for a moment and then said she hoped Dr. Brannon would call tomorrow. When I hung up, I went to talk with Peyton to tell him who Dr. Brannon is. "Peyton, do your remember Dr. Brannon we spoke to earlier? "Yes, why?" "Well, it turns out he was Mom's boyfriend during their first year in med school." "Jaiden, you've got to be kidding?" "Nope, I called Mom a few minutes ago to ask if she might have known him and she told me the whole story. I called Dr. Brannon and gave him the number at the clinic. He is going to call her tomorrow." "Jaiden, that is just too unreal." "Yeah, Peyton it is." "Tomorrow is the last Thursday before school starts, what would you like to do?" "Jaiden, I would like to spend some quality time cuddling with you. I want you to make love to me and then have a long warm soak with you holding me." I looked at Jaiden after telling him that and he was trembling like a scared puppy in a bad thunderstorm. His eyes had gone from bright white to swollen and red. I walked over to him, put my arms around him, put my head on his chest, and held him for the longest. "Jaiden, I want to show you that it will be ok. We can't stop our love for each other over one bad incident. I need this from you. I promise everything will be ok." I felt the tears roll off Jaiden's face and hit mine; he was genuinely petrified at the idea of making love and he needed to get over that and there was only one way to do that; it is to do `that'." When we went to bed that night, Jaiden would not try to sleep sans clothing. We both wore tees and boxer briefs. I snuggled with Jaiden all night, but when the sun started to rise in the sky and the birds began to sing, Jaiden began to tremble uncontrollably. The question was how to stop this fear, how to help Jaiden restore his confidence in being a loving and gentle soul, how to help him regain confidence in my love for him and his love for me. The only way for me to help him is to help him do what he has to do: make love to me. "Jaiden, come over here for just a minute. Now, look at me. What do you see? Do you see an ogre who is out to destroy the rest of you, to destroy what confidence you have left, to demean you and kick you while you are down, or do you see someone who loves you more than life itself, who loves you no matter what, and who stands by you willing to do whatever it takes to make you the happy, carefree, confident person you used to be? What do you see, Jaiden? Tell me: what...do... you...see?" "Peyton, I see the person I love more than life itself with tears in his eyes that I don't want to see. I see the person I love hurt so much with unbearable pain. I see the person I love pleading with me to become the person I used to be, the person I still am, to embrace life to the fullest with the one I love the most, and, damn it, it is killing me minute by minute. But I am so scared that I will hurt you again and I would rather die than do that. I am scared Peyton, petrified beyond belief. I am so scared." "Right now, Jaiden, I feel the same way, but it is about to stop and that fear will not be allowed back." I removed Jaiden's tee shirt and then I removed his briefs. As he was standing there trembling with absolute fear, I removed my clothing. I took his hand and led him to the bed and made him lie down. I opened the drawer to the nightstand and removed a condom and laid it on the nightstand with my and Jaiden's favorite lube. Then I crawled into bed with Peyton and started to hug and kiss him with all the love I had inside of me and I helped him get the erection that he was going to need to finally face his darkest fear, the fear of allowing himself to make love to his spouse who so desperately needed him to do just that. I needed to prove to him that he could make love to me and he could do it with the love and tenderness he has always had within him. We caressed each other. We explored each other's bodies with the utmost tenderness. I placed the condom on his penis and squeezed the lube on the condom and spread it down and around Jaiden's penis. Then I rolled onto my back and made Jaiden lie on top of me. I told him to slowly and gently enter my body and make slow, passionate love to me. Tears were flooding from his eyes as he did what I asked of him. We took it very slowly and I continually kissed Jaiden as tenderly as I knew how as he made love to me as tenderly as he could. When we both climaxed, Jaiden was beside himself with raw emotion and I was right there with him. We held each other and we cried together. The way Jaiden made love to me was indescribable. He was amazing and I told him so. I asked Jaiden to get a warm washcloth and clean us. He did that. I asked him to go draw a warm bath in the jacuzzi tub, and he did that. I asked him to help me up and walk into the bathroom with me, and he did that. I asked him to get into the warm bath and to sit back so I could sit between his legs and lean back on him, and he did that. He had the most cathartic emotional release of his life and so did I. I said, "Jaiden that was so amazing, so loving. That is what I craved, the love I was desperate to have back in our lives and you just proved to yourself and me that you were more than capable of giving that to me. Now, I just want you to hold me. I don't want to talk about anything or do anything right now except be held by you. And when you have calmed down completely and I feel you relax, then I want to go back to bed and snuggle with you, skin-to-skin; no tees, no briefs, just you and me holding each other in bed like we used to do." Jaiden looked at me, kissed me on the cheek, and told me to get out of the jacuzzi and let him dry us off. When he had done that, he took me by the hand, led me to the bed, picked me up, and laid me on my right side. He then jumped over me bouncing into bed in front of me, pulled the cover over us, and then pulled me to him giving me the most loving hug I could remember. My eyes were red, swollen, and wet as I fell asleep in his arms. I had my Jaiden back, the Jaiden full of confidence and love. We had each other back; it was and is the most glorious feeling in the world. When we awoke, we got dressed, walked through the den holding hands, walked into the kitchen, and started to get something for breakfast. Dale and Charley walked into the kitchen with tears in their eyes and told Jaiden and me to have a seat at the breakfast table and they would have breakfast for both of us in a few minutes. Banana-macadamia nut waffles, the Hawaiian syrup, bacon, and the best coffee we had ever tasted. When we had finished breakfast, the telephone rang and a young child asked to speak Mr. Jaiden Reynolds. "This is he," I said. The child said, "Hi, this is Jason Gray, Pete Gray's son. Dad gave me your telephone number and said it was ok to call you. I was excited when he told me he met you, Mr. Peyton, Mr. Dale, and Mr. Charley. I have read everything about y'all and I want to be the kind of student and the kind of person you are and help people the way you do. I just think y'all are so neat." "Jason, that is a compliment to me and I thank you. Hold on just a minute and I will get Peyton, Dale, and Charley in the room with me and we can all talk together on the speakerphone." "Peyton, can you, Charley, and Dale come in the dining room for a few minutes to speak to Phil Pate's son, Jason?" "We're on the way." "I have Jason Gray, Pete Gray's son on the speakerphone." Hi, Jason, this is Peyton. How are you?" "Fine, Mr. Peyton." Hi, Jason, I am Dale. I heard a lot about you from your dad the other day and I am glad we can talk together. Charley is sitting here next to me." Hi, Jason, this is Charley. I hope you are having a great day. I am Mr. Charley and I hope you are too. We all are, Jason." "Jason, how are you doing in school?" I am doing ok, Mr. Jaiden, but I am having a hard time with math and science. I have mostly `As' in everything else." "You know, Mr. Cale and Mr. Charley are really good in math and Mr. Peyton and I are great in science. Maybe we can talk with your Dad and see if we can work something out to help you with your math and science." "You mean that, Mr. Jaiden?" "I surely do, Jason. Maybe we can talk to your Dad this weekend and see what we can work out." "That would be so awesome, Mr. Jaiden, thank you so much." "You're welcome buddy, talk to your Dad about it and maybe we can talk to him this weekend." "Thank you, guys, so much. I hope you have a good weekend." We hope you do to buddy, goodbye." "Goodbye, Mr. Jaiden." Jason is going to freak out tomorrow. It is going to be some much fun watching Jason. When Ginny came into the breakfast nook, she put her hand over her mouth, sprang a river of tears, hugged Peyton and me, and said, "I knew it. I just knew today would be the day and God didn't disappoint me, he answered my prayers.
