G. A. Patrick

Dale's Dad arrived in Erie and took a look and the monies the Amigos had
received and it blew his mind.  He was going to start working on what
needed to be done to best safeguard the money and the wisest way to invest
it.  Jaiden told him that his mom wanted him to talk to her accountant to
make sure ideas mesh positively.  Dad agreed that would be the best thing
to do, but Jaiden would need to do that since it could cost him his job if
he did it.  He needed to do the right thing because he had no idea what
would be waiting for him when he got back to work in Pensacola.

Dad Dale laid out his investment idea and gave Jaiden a copy he could fax
to his mother's accountant, something he would do first thing in the
morning.  About noon, Dr. Mom's accountant called Jaiden and said he
thought the plan laid out by Dad Dale was as good as it goes and since the
company was not charging for their services to go for it.  He said the fact
that the firm had a million-dollar insurance policy on the money was
unprecedented and he was extremely impressed that they did that.

Jaiden went into the den and told Dad Dale what his Mom's accountant said
and that his firm has the investment contract as far as he is concerned.
He talked to Peyton, Dale, and Charley and they agreed.  The question now
is how much more funds will come in today.

The Amigos all went to their classes and Dad Dale stayed home to receive
the mail.  There was only one large bag of mail today which hopefully means
the craziness was slowing down.  When the guys got home, they went over
today's class notes and read the assigned readings for tomorrow.  Jaiden,
he was hugging the toilet since it was a lab day and they had to open up
the cadavers to start learning to do surgical procedures and identify any
problems they may notice in their newest `friends'.  He finally started to
calm down after 45 minutes.

When Jaiden finally went downstairs to the den, Dale handed him a mug of
homemade chicken broth and told him to sip on it.  Jaiden said he didn't
know it he could sip on it right now.  Dale asked him, "would you rather
have your Mom up here by 7 or would you rather sip on the broth?"  "I'll
sip on the broth."

They started opening the mail and thankfully the cards were mostly
congratulatory with maybe a 3rd containing donations totaling $75,000
today, so Dad Dale said that would be no problem to add to the other funds.
The Amigos felt a sense of relief at that.  So far, the funds stand a
little over three-quarters of a million dollars.

Peyton said that would help Dale and Charley when they finish school, set
up their careers, and buy their first home.  Peyton and Jaiden want Dale's
and Charley's first home to be as nice as the home in which they now reside
and they related that to Dad Dale who had a lone tear escape his right eye
when he heard Jaiden's and Peyton's comment.

Day three of the week rolled around and there was a fairly small bag of
mail left for the guys.  Dale called from school to see what came in and
since it was a much smaller amount of mail, Dale told his Dad to go ahead
and open it and they would talk about it when all the guys got home.

Dad Dale opened all the mail and there was only about $15,000 today and he
was going to tell the guys to use that money to buy some electronic
up-grades for Carolyn Spencer's classroom and if enough was left to buy
Apple laptops for David and Jason; after all, those boys earned such a
gift.

They didn't wait on the laptops, when they had reviewed their notes and
completed their assigned reading for Thursday's classes, they headed
straight to the Apple store and bought the best laptops for the boy's
needs.  The computers were identical, so it didn't matter which one either
boy received.  They called Pete and told him they had something for Jason
and asked if he, Allison, and the children could meet them at Tony's for
dinner.  Pete said they would and then asked what they had for Jason.
Peyton told him they would find out at Tony's.

When the Gray's arrived at Tony's, they joined the Amigos inside and saw a
wrapped box on the table.  It was maybe 16 inches wide and 12 inches tall.
Robert was working tonight and took their drink orders.  He would take
their food orders when he retrieved the drinks.

Everybody looked over the menu and when Robert came back, he took their
orders on the hand-held computer sending them directly to the kitchen.  All
the guys got eggplant parmesan. Jason shocked his parents by ordering the
same thing.  Jaiden looked up and said, "just watch him when it gets here.
He's tried ours before and loved it.  I bet he still does."

When the food was delivered, all eyes were on Jason who carefully cut up
the eggplant and pasta.  With impeccable manners, he began to eat his meal
to the amazement of his parents.  Pete asked Jaiden how they got him to eat
that.  Jaiden replied that it was simple.  You cut it up, don't say what it
is, and then get him to try it.  So far, he's had broccoli, squash, green
beans, peas, and a few other vegetables chopped up and hidden in spaghetti
sauce and served over pasta.  We heard Allison say he wouldn't eat
vegetables, so I talked to Phil and had him fix that dish the last time he
got spaghetti here.

Allison looked at Dale and said, "Dale you are going to have to teach me
some of the tricks of the trade on that one.  I never would have thought of
that."  "Allison, I got the idea from Jaiden's mom when she told me that is
what she did to get Jaiden to eat vegetables.  I've tried it at home a few
times and it still works."  That earned him stares from Jaiden, Peyton, and
Charley.  It got a laugh from Pete.

When they completed their meals and had dessert, Peyton pulled out two
wrapped boxes and told Jason he was going to let him open them but that he
could not use them until his Dad set the parental controls.  Jason was ok
with that.  All he wanted to do was open the presents.

When Jason unwrapped the boxes, Pete and Allison could not believe the boys
had gotten Jason such a nice gift and told the boys they shouldn't have.
Peyton told him that after the news coverage last weekend, they had been
blessed way beyond measure with gifts sent to them.  Pete said they must
have been good gifts.

Jaiden asked if he could invoke the attorney-client privilege.  Pete said,
"Of course!"  Jaiden slid him a note with one thing written on it:
$775,000.  Pete's chin hit the floor and he exclaimed, "You have got to be
kidding me!"  "Afraid not, Pete.  Dale's Dad is a very good accountant with
a large firm in Pensacola and he has been here three days sorting things
out as far as handling, investing, and growing the money so we can put it
to the best use.  The first gift was just given to Jason to use for his
school work.  The quality of the computer should last him until he is out
of high school.  When he starts college, we will get him whatever Apple has
out then.  By the way, there is a 10-year no-questions repair warranty that
covers whatever may happen to the computer and there is a theft tracking
system inside the computer that doesn't show up in the apps.  The little
box is an external CD hard drive to make it easier to buy programs on a CD
rather than having to rely on downloads."

Pete and Allison were beside themselves at Jason's gift.  Dale said to make
sure that whenever he used the computer it was where they could eyeball it
while Jason was using it.  Allison said she would make sure that would be a
standing rule.  After handshakes and hugs, and Jason's `Jason-Hug' and his
`I love you,' everyone headed home.

When the guys got home, they called Rabbi Kravitz and asked if he and the
Rebbetzin could come over with the boys.  He said they would be over in a
few minutes.  Dale had made some horderves and started a pot of coffee so
they all could relax and talk.

When the Kravitz clan arrived, the horderves were heated and ready to eat.
Dale had fruit knishes, figs with goat cheese and honey-date sauce, and
some cheese straws made with a variety of cheeses.

The guys sat in the den with the Kravitz's and talked for a good while.
Jaiden had his laptop on a table in the den, and said, "that reminds me,
does David have a good computer he can use when he does his school work?"
Rabbi Kravitz said, "Not yet, three boys are expensive and a computer is
something we will save for and purchase somewhere down the road."  Peyton
told the Rabbi they would like to help with that and he went upstairs and
came back down with two wrapped boxes and asked the Kravitz's if the minded
if the guys gave David a gift.  The Rabbi said that was fine, so Peyton
handed the boxes to the Rabbi to give them to David.

When David opened the boxes, his mouth was open in surprise as he looked at
the guys.  The Rabbi and his wife were also in disbelief.  The Rabbi said,
"a computer, and an Apple at that, why?  Jaiden said David had earned it
and that they had been blessed with some donations after last Thursday's
school board meeting and it was something they wanted to do for David and
Jason.  All the Rabbi could say was, "WOW!"

Peyton told David he couldn't use the computer until his parents set up
parental controls on it.  The Rabbi looked at Peyton and said he had no
idea how to do that.  Peyton said, "then let me do it for you while you are
here."  He then went to the parental controls app and set controls on what
David wouldn't be able to access, controls the Rabbi and Rebbetzin
approved.  He then had the Rabbi write down a number so he could change the
controls if he wanted to.  He told the Rabbi to file the number away so he
wouldn't forget it.

Like with Jason's computer, Peyton told the Rabbi and Rebbetzin that there
is a theft tracking device in the computer so that if someone stole it,
they could easily find it.  He also told them that the program will not
show up in apps on the computer.  They thanked the boys over and over for
their generosity and promised they would monitor David's use of the
computer and would make sure when he was using it, they would eyeball it
the entire time.  Jaiden told them he thought that was a good idea.

Oh, the item in the small box is an external CD hard drive so you can buy
and more easily install educational programs you think will be useful to
David. And there is a ten year no questions asked repair contract for
anything that could possibly happen to the laptop.

Guys, we simply cannot thank you enough.  Rabbi, you already have.

The stress has greatly reduced over the past few days.  Mail and donations
are still coming in but not at the rate they originally arrived.  Jaiden,
Peyton, Dale, and Charley had sat down and decided that any additional
funds that came in would be donated to Carolyn Spencer's class for her to
purchase whatever electronic aids she needs to make her job easier for her
and more entertaining to the students.  It seems the more fun she makes
things for the class the better the students learn, and she has already
taken them into next year's math and they are excelling.  The national test
scores for her class are off the charts they are so high.  Never in the
history of the Erie school system has that ever happened.

Since it is Friday night, the guys would have two days off from school
which means they have time for each other.  It was late enough that Peyton
and Jaiden didn't need to worry about the Kravitz children or their parents
being up.

Temple would be at 9 am tomorrow and the Rabbi had to get his sleep.  So
Jaiden took Peyton out on the deck and sat in the chaise lounge and pulled
Peyton into his lap.  Jaiden began kissing Payton tenderly, showing him how
much he truly loves him the best he could.  Words can sometimes be cheap,
so Jaiden truly wants to show his love for Peyton.  He held Peyton and ran
his fingers through Peyton's hair gently stroking the side of his head.
Peyton laid his head on Jaiden's left shoulder and before long, he had
fallen asleep.  Since Peyton had incurred a very stressful time over the
past week, Jaiden just sat there holding Peyton all night right where they
were.

When the sun started to rise and the birds started singing, Peyton started
to awaken.  When he realized where he was, he asked Jaiden if he had been
sleeping all night in his lap and Jaiden told him he had.  Peyton started
apologizing profusely and Jaiden looked at him and said, "shut up!" I have
loved every moment I have held you and you rested better than you have in
the past two weeks, so let me enjoy the privilege of getting to hold you."
Peyton looked up at Jaiden and said, "Yes sir!"  Jaiden leaned town and
kissed Peyton very lightly on his lips.  You can't measure Jaiden's love
for Peyton, it is simply too deep to do that.


Dale stuck his head out the door and yelled, "wake up lovebirds, breakfast
is ready.  We need to eat if we are going to make temple services."  Jaiden
and Peyton joined Dale and Charley in the breakfast nook for some of the
best onion, garlic, and potato knishes they had ever tasted.  Peyton told
Dale his mother made knishes but they were not as good as his.  And when
you add the fact that Dale makes the best coffee they have ever drunk,
breakfast was heavenly.  After they ate the potato and onion knishes, Dale
pulled out peach knishes for desert. They were all perfect.  They took one
each to Rabbis Kravitz and Belson.  The boys had truly come to love their
Rabbis and their families.

Rabbi Kravitz delivered his sermon that was based on the subject that
sometimes there are good people we fail to notice walking through our lives
and then there are people who walk among us whose works are impossible to
miss, whose footprints leave such indelible memories in our lives that we
must acknowledge their contributions.

The Rabbi mentioned how four young men in the congregation had been blessed
beyond measure after the recent school board meeting and how those
blessings continued to pour in.  He also spoke of how the nice young men
chose to continue helping others rather than keeping the gifts they had
received for themselves in honor of the tenants of their faith requiring
charity where possible.


"Two months in our community and as members of our temple, they have done
more for the Erie community than anybody in the past 50 years.  How blessed
we have been because Hashem sent them to us.  Hashem even sent me to Hawaii
as an answer to their prayers to find a temple where they would be accepted
and loved, and Anshe Hesed is where Hashim has sent them.  Is that a
blessing or not?  I believe it is!  The question now for everyone is this:
How can we emulate their love for our temple, for our community, for our
children?  That is a question you each need to decide for yourselves and
then act upon the answer you receive."


Since Jaiden, Peyton, Dale, and Charley are members of the Country Club,
they decided to have lunch there and they invited the Rabbis and their
families and Pete and Allison and their children to join them.  Peyton made
Jaiden drive the Lincoln so the children could ride to the country club
with them if they wanted to and if their parents approved.  They guessed
the parents approved because Jason and David climbed into the back of the
vehicle and buckled themselves in.  They guys got in and everybody went to
the club for lunch.

Jaiden slipped the waiter a note that everyone's dinner would be on his tab
and that whatever the boys ordered, they were to receive prime rib with the
garlicky mashed potatoes and a vegetable casserole with the vegetables
disguised as much as possible so the children would eat them.  Josh, the
waiter, understood the request and smiled when he said, "I don't think we
will have any problem doing that."

The boys ordered hamburgers and fries and were blown away when they were
served the 8-ounce prime rib, garlicky potatoes, and especially the
casserole which they loved.  The waiter gave Jaiden a note saying the
casserole was made up of eggs with no blood spots, mashed peas,
butterbeans, squash, okra, and shredded brussels sprouts mixed with
mushroom soup and plenty of melting cheese with a minute amount of sugar
added to disguise the taste a little.

The parents were surprised the boys downed the casserole first and asked
Jaiden what made up the dish.  Jaiden said I will show you but you have to
promise me you won't say anything about it out loud.  He passed the note to
Allison first and she passed it on to the Rebbetzin.  They both looked at
each other and then at Jaiden with broad grins on their faces.  He just
looked at the ladies and said, "That is Mom's trick and it worked well on
me.

From what I UNDERSTAND, a Chef named Dale has done that for us in our
home."  That's when Dale got a stare from all three brothers.  He laughed
and said it was very true and that the brothers loved what they ate.
Peyton said he hated to admit it, but Dale was correct, they truly enjoyed
what he had prepared with that method.

Allison looked at Dale and asked him to come to her house tomorrow and use
what she had bought and prepare a similar dish for Sunday's lunch and that
the Rebbetzin would be there to observe.  So there would be the Gray
family, the Kravitz clan, and the Amigos at Sunday lunch at the Gray's
home.

When Dale arrived early at Pete and Allison's home he asked if she had an
Instapot.  It so happened she did, so Dale borrowed it and put a whole
chicken in it with some Goya chicken seasoning, a little salt, a little
more pepper than the salt, an eighth of a teaspoon of Rosemary and a fourth
teaspoon of Thyme.


He told them to always use a little Thyme with Rosemary to even out the
rosemary.  To that mix, he added Brussels sprouts, corn, fresh English baby
peas, carrots, and, this time, canned rutabagas.  He set the timer of the
Instapot on the chicken setting and set the timer for 35 minutes.  When the
chicken had finished cooking, it slid off the bones.  He got the Rebbetzin
to shred the chicken very finely and had Allison to put the vegetable
evidence in a garbage bag and take it to the refuse cans outside.

When the vegetable mixture in the Instapot cooled down, Dale whipped four
eggs and tempered them with the vegetable and chicken broth.  While that
sat for a moment, he pureed the vegetables in Allison's food processor and
then stirred in the tempered eggs.


Allison cut the melting cheese into small cubes and Dale had her add the
cheese to the vegetable-egg mixture and then had the Rebbetzin add the
shredded chicken and stir the mixture well.  He greased a 9 x 12 Pyrex dish
with Pam Baking Spray and poured the mixture into the Pyrex dish and placed
it into a preheated oven at 425 degrees.


While that was cooking, he took two sleeves of Ritz Crackers which he
pulverized in the food processor.  About ten minutes before the casserole
was ready, he removed it from the oven, added the crushed crackers and
drizzled them with melted butter and put the pan back into the oven until
the crackers lightly browned.

When Dale pulled the dish out of the oven, he said, "here you go, ladies,
chicken casserole and that is all you have to say.  Let' get the children,
including the husbands, washed up and eat.  Luckily, Dale had made the same
casserole at home and brought it with him so there would be plenty to eat.

When everyone sat down, the Rebbetzin used a large ice cream scoop and put
a large scoop on each boy's plate and Allison asked her to please dish out
some for Jason's plate.  The adults served themselves and raved over how
good the chicken casserole was.  The young boys had already scarfed down
the casserole on their plate and were asking for seconds.  Jason and David
had thirds.


Allison and the Rebbetzin were about to die to laugh and Pete and the Rabbi
noticed the twinkle in their eyes.  They looked and asked their wives what
was so humorous to them.  Allison told the boys to go outside and practice
juggling which they gladly did.


When they had gotten outside, Allison and the Rebbetzin died laughing.


When they composed themselves, Allison looked at Pete and asked him, "Pete,
what is it that Jason absolutely will not touch if you put it on the
table?"  Pete replied, "vegetables. Why?"  The Rabbi spoke and said it was
the same for David and the Rebbetzin started laughing hysterically which
puzzled the Rabbi.


Allison said, "Pete, the casserole Dale prepared for us had Brussels
sprouts, corn, fresh English baby peas, carrots, and canned rutabagas which
Dale pureed in the food processor and added to the chicken and cheese with
four whipped eggs to congeal the mixture in the oven.


Pete and the Rabbi looked at Dale and asked if that was true and Dale told
them it was and asked, "did you see how your boys enjoyed it and scarfed it
down?"  Pete and the Rabbi laughed in amazement with their wives.


Pete said, "Dale, I just don't understand how you make something like that
work so well."  Dale replied, "it's simple, don't give your game plan away
by telling them what's in it.  They'll keep eating it until they are old
and gray or develop a taste for what they said they didn't like."


Jaiden chimed in that children have thousands more taste buds than adults
and that a heightened sense of taste is why they won't eat many foods that
adults enjoy, prime rib excepted.


Pete said he never thought of it that way and that if disguising healthy
foods that caused intensive taste bud reactions in children could be
remedied by disguising the food, it was a brilliant concept.  Everyone
agreed.


Charley and Peyton very nicely washed up the dishes, cleaned the kitchen,
and wiped off the dinner table so Allison and the Rebbetzin could spend
some time talking with each other without worrying about some of their
normal mother and wifely duties.  When they returned to the living room,
they told Allison all the dishes were washed, the kitchen was cleaned Dale
style, and the table had been wiped off.  Allison was astonished and
thanked the guys repeatedly.  Charley looked at her and said, "enjoy that
little bit of time off, you earned it.

Allison got a little sick and turned a bit green.  Peyton looked at her
face and asked her to look at him so he could see her eyes.  He said,
"Allison, your face has a red tint to it, your energy level is increasing,
you are smiling non-stop and your eyes are very glassine looking, and that
can only mean one thing."  Allison looked at Peyton and asked what that one
thing would be.  "Allison, you are pregnant and it is going to be another
boy."  "Peyton, how can you tell?"  "It is something I learned when my
sister had each of her three boys and I haven't missed a call yet for any
of our friends who were pregnant.

Allison looked at Pete and said, "I'll call the doctor Monday morning and
get an appointment for a pregnancy test.

The doctor's receptionist told Allison they had a cancellation at 11 and
she could come in then.  Allison took the appointment and was at the
doctor's on time.  The doctor examined Allison and told her there was no
need for a urine test to check for a pregnancy that he could tell she was
at least four months pregnant and that he wanted to do an ultrasound which
Allison agreed to.

When the doctor squirted the gel on her stomach and began doing the
ultrasound, he said, "Allison, look at the screen.  See this area right
here, look at it closely.  You have a perfectly healthy fetus.  He pointed
to another spot and asked if she saw a little appendage?"  "Yes sir."
"That is a penis, you're having a little boy.  There is a shadow in the
background behind your little boy.  I can't tell right now, but I think you
may be having twins."  He printed off copies of the ultrasounds and gave
them to Allison.

Allison took the ultrasound pics and headed straight to Pete's office.  She
walked in the door and asked his secretary if he was with anyone or on the
phone with anyone.  The secretary said no, and Allison said, "I am going to
leave his door open so you can enjoy what I am about to do."  They both
smiled.

Allison walked into Pete's office and said, "Damn it, it is all your fault,
you have stirred up a hornet's nest and now you get to figure out what to
do about it! "  Pete looked up at Allison and asked, "Honey, what did I do?
I'll do whatever I have to do to get everything straightened out."  "Well,
sweetheart, it is going to take you about twenty years to fix this problem!


With that, she put the ultrasounds in front of him and asked him what he
saw.  He looked carefully at the pictures and started crying when he looked
up at Allison and asked, "you're pregnant" Allison smiled and replied,
"VERY, look at the ultrasounds again."  "Tell me everything you see, Pete."
Pete said, "I see the baby and I see what looks like a little stick in the
middle."  Allison told Pete, "Yes, you have a bigger stick like that that
got me pregnant.  The baby is a boy.  Do you see what looks like a shadow
behind the baby boy?"  Pete said, "Yes."

When he said yes, Pete stopped in his tracks and looked up at Allison and
asked, "Are you telling me it is twins?"  "Precisely, sweetheart.  The
doctor said to prepare for two bris ceremonies."  Pete cried more at that
point.


He said to let him send two texts and he would go home with her.  The first
email was to Jaiden telling him that he was going to send Peyton an email
asking that they come by his house when they got out of classes.  "DO NOT
TELL PEYTON THIS, but he was right on target yesterday when he told Allison
she was pregnant and that it would be a boy.  He did miss one thing, the
second baby boy. "  When Jaiden got the text it was at the end of his last
class for the day.  He put his hand over his mouth as a tear rolled from
his eyes.

The professor saw the tears and asked Jaiden if everything was ok, and
Jaiden told him everything was more than ok that there was a surprise
waiting on Jason when he got home.


To not clue Peyton in as he was standing in the hall, Jaiden slipped the
professor a note and told him Jason's mom just found out she is pregnant
with twin boys.  He said Peyton called it correctly yesterday before
Allison had seen a GYN-ob.  She is 4 months pregnant and didn't know it."


The professor grinned from ear to ear.  As soon as Peyton finds out, let me
know."  "Yes sir, we are headed to the Gray's house now.  They are going to
tell Peyton when we get there."


Peyton stepped back into the classroom and asked Jaiden why he thought Pete
would be asking them to come by his house when they got out of their
classes.  Then he saw the tear in Jaiden's eyes.  Peyton, we are headed to
their house now to find out the answer to that question but don't worry
about it, I know what's going on and it's extremely good but Pete wants to
tell you himself.

When they arrived at Pete and Allison's, Peyton nervously knocked on the
door which Pete immediately opened and said, "Come in guys and have a seat
on the couch."  When Peyton and Jaiden had a seat, Pete started telling
Peyton that he had correctly predicted something that was going to take him
twenty years to straighten out.  Peyton asked him what he meant.

"Peyton, do you remember telling Allison in front of the Rabbi and
Rebbetzin that Allison was pregnant and the baby would be a boy."  `Yes
sir."  "Well, you were only half right!"  "Pete, what do you mean?"
"Peyton, Allison went to the doctor this morning because of what you said
and she is indeed pregnant to the tune of four months and we had no idea.
The something you missed is that it is not one boy, but two!"  I took the
afternoon off to discuss this with Allison and we both agreed that we are
going to name one boy Peyton and the other boy Jaiden and hope they turn
out to be as loving as you two are."

Peyton started crying and got up and hugged Pete and Allison.  He asked if
Jason knew and Allison said, "no, he is getting off the school bus right
now.  We want you to give him the news for us."  When Jason came into the
house, he was thrilled to see Peyton and Jaiden.  Peyton looked at him and
asked him to come sit on his lap for a minute.


He looked at Jason and asked, "Jason, how would you feel about having a
little brother?"  "Mr. Peyton, that would be super awesome, but why did you
ask me that?"  "Well, Jason, I have one more question for you.  How would
you like to have two little brothers?"  "Mr. Peyton, don't joke with me
like that."  "Jason, I'm not joking with you, your mom went to the doctor
this morning and she is going to have twin boys."

Jason started tearing up and looked at his Mom and asked if that were true
and she told him it was.  He cried at that point and said he had wanted a
little brother for a long time but he didn't want to be rude by saying
anything about it.  Pete picked him up and let him cry his little heart out
while everybody cried with him.  Damn, what a way to end a tough day!

When Jaiden and Peyton headed home, Peyton said, "Told ya!"  Jaiden said,
"yes you did, love and it won't be long before it is our turn."  Peyton
leaned over and put his head on Jaiden's shoulder and got very quiet.

When they got to their house, Jaiden told Peyton to get in the Lincoln that
he was going to take him for a walk on a mountain trail they liked that had
a beautiful waterfall.  The Lincoln rode so well that by the time they got
to the trail, Peyton was asleep.  Jaiden sat in the parking lot and watched
the love of his life sleep so peacefully. About thirty minutes later,
something woke Peyton and he said he was sorry for falling asleep.  Jaiden
told him to not be sorry because he had thirty minutes to watch his
favorite person in life get some quality rest.

They got out of the car and started walking up the trail when a light misty
rain began to fall.  It was perfect for them since they were walking under
the canopy of the trees.


When they got to the benches at the waterfall, Jaiden sat down and pulled
Jaiden to his lap and laid Peyton's head on his left shoulder.  With the
soothing sounds of the waterfall, Peyton was asleep in five minutes.
Jaiden rubbed his hair, kissed him repeatedly on his head, and smiled.  He
was in heaven with his love sleeping so peacefully.  He sat in the misty
rain and the spray from the waterfall until it started getting dark.

He woke Peyton and told him the park was closing and they needed to head
home.

When they got home, Jaiden led Peyton to their bedroom, took his shirt off,
and laid him in the bed, and removed his pants and briefs.  Jaiden then
ditched his clothes and climbed into bed by Peyton and began to massage him
from head to toe with the lotion Peyton loves that Jaiden always uses.


When Jaiden completed his massage, he went down on Peyton and gave him the
most sensual BJ possible.  He was gentle, slow, and methodical so Peyton
could relax and enjoy the attention he was receiving.  When the mountains
were moved and the mountain stream released its flood, Jaiden got a warm
washcloth and cleaned Peyton and then climbed in bed and snuggled with him
until both fell asleep.


About an hour later, Dale knocked on their door and told them dinner was
ready.  They threw on their khaki shorts and a tee-shirt and headed to the
dining room.  Charley looked at Peyton and said, "bro, you look really
tired."  Jaiden told Charley Peyton was tired from an earlier event.


Naturally, Charley, being Charley, asked what that event was.  Jaiden told
him Peyton got a text from Pete asking us to come by his house when we got
out of classes.  He wanted to personally tell Peyton that he was right on
the money yesterday when he told Allison she was pregnant and she was going
to have a boy.  She went to the doctor this morning and found out she is at
least four months pregnant and had no idea.  Peyton only missed one thing
in his prediction: it is twin boys.  Charley looked at Peyton and said,
"bro, you are so awesome and I am so glad we live like brothers.  You never
cease to amaze me with the goodness that comes out of you."  He then got up
and gave Peyton a real brotherly hug.


Dale stuck his head in the door and said, "Ditto, Peyton."  Peyton laughed
at that since it was reminiscent of our Wellstone graduation addresses.
