If we didn't have such an important task to take care of in Orange Beach, we would stay through next week." "Jaiden, thank you for coming and helping me to smile more and to be happier since I was able to see the two people who mean the most to me in my life. "The Rabbi called me Tuesday and spoke about how happy and settled you both looked and how proud he is that you have been a member of our temple and for the works you have accomplished. You have certainly made the Rabbi and the members of the temple extremely proud and you have sent me over the moon with pride and admiration of my two sons." "I cannot believe I have been so blessed with such a good son and a great son-in-law. We don't know what is going to happen down the road, but whatever it is, please, please don't ever forget how much I love you and Peyton. I hope you have a great time with Peyton's parents in Orange Beach and that things go well for you two with Jenny. Call me and let me know you got there OK." "I will call when we get there. I love you to Mars and back Mom, and thank you for all you have done to help Peyton and me and for what you have done to help Charley and Dale." "I love you, too, Jaiden. Don't forget to call." "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Captain speaking. Welcome aboard Flight 1251 bound for Mobile, Alabama. There is a weather system developing in the Mobile area that has delayed our flight by approximately 30 minutes." "Some of you might not know that Mobile, Alabama is the rain capital of the United States receiving approximately 69 inches of rain per year. We expect the current weather system to move out of the Mobile area within the next 30 to 40 minutes. We are expecting turbulence during our flight so please keep your seat belts fastened during the entire flight. Now please listen to our wonderful flight attendants as they explain safety procedures. Thank you for flying Delta, we hope you have an enjoyable flight." "Peyton, I am glad Mom insisted we have breakfast before boarding our flight." "Me, too, Jaiden. I have a feeling we are going to be starving by the time we get to Orange Beach." "Don't worry, love, I have a plan to get some good seafood when we get there." "A plan, Peyton?" "Yep and Mom usually falls for it, and the restaurant is in Mobile. It is the one I took you took when we first started dating." "The open-air restaurant on the beach?" "The one and only." Jaiden kissed Peyton and told him to be nice to his parents when they got to Mobile. Peyton said he would but that he wanted the seafood for lunch or dinner. It didn't matter which, but seafood it was going to be. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Captain. We have been cleared for take-off and should be in the air within the next 15 minutes. Our flight to Mobile will take approximately two hours given the headwinds we will be facing. Please keep your seat belts fastened due to the turbulence we expect. Sit back and enjoy your flight, and thank you again for flying Delta. As the jet began speeding down the runway, Jaiden took Peyton's hand in his and kissed it telling Peyton, "I love you, sweetheart!" "I love you, too, Jaiden, with all my heart." Peyton was still tired from yesterday, so he slept during most of the flight to Mobile. Jaiden, he did what he always does with the most tender of smiles: he watched the love of his life sleeping peacefully and loving him more every second that passed. What an awesome love the two shares. Everybody should be so fortunate to be so loved. Ladies and gentlemen, the Captain has received permission to land, please return your trays and seats to the upright position as we prepare to land. Thank you for flying Delta, we truly hope you have had a most enjoyable flight. It was very evident the steward serving Jaiden's and Peyton's area of the plane was very gay and he didn't put up with a lot of guff from passengers. Jaiden noticed the well-dressed lady across from him had not put her seat or her tray in the upright position, so he nudged Peyton and said, "watch this" as the Steward came by and politely asked her to bring her seat and tray to the upright position. The lady told the steward that where she was from, she was a princess and took orders from no one. The Steward looked at her and replied, "In my country, I am considered a Queen and a Queen outranks a princess, so seat and tray in the upright position. The lady complied as Jaiden and Peyton fought as hard as they could to not roll on the floor laughing. The plane taxied to its gate and the passengers were soon deplaning. Jaiden retrieved a large envelope from the seat pouch in front of them. The envelope held cards and gifts for the steward and stewardesses who appeared dumbfounded that two young men would recognize them for the flight service they had provided. Jaiden told the Steward that the way he got the `Princess' to put her tray up and raise her seat to the upright position was priceless. He and the Steward had a good laugh over that. Peyton and Jaiden headed to Carousel B to retrieve their luggage. As they were descending on the escalator, they saw Peyton's Mom and Dad holding a sign that said, "Peyton Riley-Reynolds welcome home from Prison." Jaiden started laughing hysterically and Peyton turned a crimson red. As they got to the carousel, Mom Riley grabbed her two boys and said, "it has been such a long time, I am so glad they finally released you!" The people standing around them started applauding and Peyton truly turned red. Jaiden, he busted out laughing. Dad Riley grabbed his two boys in a bear hug, told them he loved them but that he was starving and ready to go eat. "How about we go to the seafood house for lunch? Peyton turned to Jaiden and winked. "Let's go, Dad, we are starving too." Jaiden grabbed their luggage and they headed for the car – and the seafood house. When they got to the restaurant, the host said, "Dr. Riley, we have your table waiting and we have already put in the order you requested." "Thank you, Ed, I appreciate that." As they all sat down, the waiter brought out their drinks and fresh shrimp cocktails for everyone. When the food started coming out, Dad, Mom, and Jaiden got the Captain's platter and Peyton was served three shrimp, ten French fries, and a slice of lemon. Jaiden was stifling a laugh, Dad Riley was smiling, and Mom seemed oblivious to everything. Peyton didn't seem amused, but a few moments later, he, too, was served a Captain's Platter. Jaiden finally let out his laugh and Peyton shot him a glance to say, "It isn't funny, dude." That just made Jaiden laugh even harder. When they got home, Peyton and Jaiden went to hug Jenny who was sitting at the kitchen table eating a shrimp salad with a raspberry vinaigrette dressing. Peyton asked, "sis, why didn't you come to the seafood house and have lunch with the rest of us?" "Peyton, a lady who is about to be pregnant has to watch her diet!" Somehow, she knew the reason for the visit. Peyton sat down, put his face in his hands, and cried. Jaiden hugged his husband as he held him and rubbed his back to help him calm down. When Peyton had finally calmed down enough to talk, Jenny told him and Jaiden that if they wanted to, her sister-in-law, Jennifer, had offered to make this a tandem pregnancy event. The two lovebirds had not even thought of that. Peyton looked at Jaiden and seemed to be a bit in shock. Jaiden simply said, "Peyton, let's talk about it this afternoon and let Jenny know after dinner tonight." Peyton was fairly quiet the rest of the day and Jaiden gave him space to think. He was fairly confident he knew what Peyton's answer would be, but it would be Peyton's decision. To help Peyton stay a bit calmer, Jaiden took him to the beach where they walked barefoot in the sand for several hours, their arms around each other's waist. Peyton kept his head on Jaiden's shoulder. Every once in a while, Jaiden would kiss Peyton on the top of his head inhaling his lover's scent that he so loved. They got to an area where there was a bench on which they could sit, so they sat down. Peyton, with tears in his eyes, looked at Jaiden and asked, "Sweetheart, what do you think?" "Peyton, I am fine with this being a tandem pregnancy if you believe you can handle it. I know I can, and I think having two children the same age would make things a bit simpler on both of us, and I think Ginny could handle two, but that would be all I would want her to try to handle at one time. If we have two or more, we can let her choose one of her friends to help with the children. I also think it would be fun, if we have two, to have our two to play with Pete and Allison's three. It would be fun to watch." "Jaiden, do you mean that?" "Babe, if I didn't mean it, I wouldn't say it. You know I'm like Mom in that regard." "Yea, I know Jaiden." "I have my answer. I would like to make this a tandem pregnancy so our children would be the same age and get to grow up like twins. I think it would be more meaningful for the children, create less jealously, and make our lives infinitely more interesting. It would change some things in our lives, like the spontaneity we sometimes enjoy, but I know babies sleep an awful lot, so we could still have a bit of spontaneity then. I never thought of the idea of a tandem pregnancy until Jenny mentioned it, but I would like to do that if, and only if, you would too." "Peyton, I, too, would love to have our children at the same time. It would certainly make life more interesting. We can talk to Jenny about it after dinner and she can talk to Jennifer." "Jaiden, would you please hold me right now?" Jaiden pulled Peyton to him and laid Peyton's head on his chest and let him get his cry out. This time, though, Jaiden cried too. After the awesome dinner Peyton's Mom cooked, Peyton, Jaiden, and Jenny went out on the deck to talk things out. Mom and Dad Riley kept a close eye on the three just in case. They saw Jenny take out her phone and make a call. She put the phone on speakerphone so all four could talk to each other at the same time. After about thirty minutes, Jenny put her phone back in her pocket as she, Peyton, and Jaiden were crying. After they calmed down, they went inside and let their parents know they had decided to try and make this a tandem pregnancy. Peyton would be the bio-Dad of the child with Jenny's sister-in-law, Jennifer, and Jaiden would be the bio-Dad of the child he would father with Jenny. Now five people were crying. Since they didn't call when they landed, Jaiden called his Mom. "Mom, you know the issue we came down to discuss with Jenny?" "Yes, son, I do." "Well, Jenny suggested that if we wanted to, her sister-in-law, Jennifer, was open to making this a tandem pregnancy. Peyton and I decided we would like to do that for a variety of reasons we have talked about and thought through. So, if things work out, there will be two pregnancies this summer." "We just have to work it out with the doctors regarding the who, what, when, where, and how the IVF will take place. If they want, we can use the doctor, Andrew Schrader, in our temple and Jenny and her sister-in-law can stay at the house for the IVF procedures and, once the pregnancies are confirmed, they can go home during their pregnancies and use their physicians for prenatal care. Dr. Schrader has offered his services to us at no charge" "Jaiden, that is worth thousands of dollars! He is an awesome man to offer his services like that." "I am so happy for you and Peyton, and to have two grand-babies to spoil at the same time, that's priceless to me. I know Peyton can get emotional when it comes to you and what you experience together so you need to go spend some time with him and let him get it out of his system. I'll call you in the middle of next week. Take care, son. I love you and will talk to you next week." "Thanks, mom, I love you too." Jaiden walked over to Peyton, put his arms around him, kissed him on top of the head, and said, "Babe, I love you so much. We are going to do this together and we are going to be so blessed. You told me you thought I would be an awesome Dad. The way you keep things on an even keel, I think you will be even more awesome." Jaiden took Peyton out onto the deck pulled him onto his lap, laid his head on his shoulder, and held him until late in the evening. It was a bit nippy being the first of Spring, but it made it enjoyable for the two lovebirds to have some private time together to get their thoughts set for what they are about to face. Jenny would talk to Jennifer about Andrew Schrader as the IVF/fertility specialist and let us know what they decide. Peyton wanted to go back to Orange Beach to have a long walk to think and work things out in his mind, so Jaiden took him there. They walked hand-in-hand, arm-in-arm, and arms around waists not saying much of anything. Peyton needed to think about things and Jaiden intended to ensure he was able to do that. The two lovers had walked a couple of miles down the beach when Jaiden stopped Peyton, turned him slowly to face him, took Peyton's face in his hands, and lovingly kissed and hugged him. "I love you so much hubby, and when you are happy, I am happy. Hashem will work all this out for us and we won't have any worries or problems. All will be good and our support will be tremendous. The only problem we may have is with one woman trying to outdo us as parents." "Who would that be sweetheart?" Jaiden replied, "my mother doing her best to spoil the children." Peyton finally loosened up and started laughing. Jaiden and Peyton got home in time to eat with the family and spend some time relaxing on the deck before retiring for the night. Before they went to bed, they shared a warm shower and stood under the cascading water holding each other in a loving, tender embrace. Peyton looked up at Jaiden and pulled his head down to kiss him. Then he placed his head on Jaiden's shoulder and didn't say another word. Jaiden bathed Peyton and then himself before cutting off the shower. After he had dried his mate and then himself, he carried Peyton and placed him near the center of the bed and then snuggled as close as he could get to his babe. There wouldn't be any sex tonight. The day had been emotionally draining given all that had occurred and all Jaiden wanted to do was hold Peyton as lovingly as he could. Tomorrow would be a new day and perhaps their intimacy would pick up then, just not tonight - it is a night for love, true tender love between two people who love each other more than anybody else in the world, two people who have decided to share their lives most perfectly with children they would father.
