Chapter 5

I have to admit that I do not believe I had ever slept so well in my life. It was very warm and cozy all curled up like we all were. We were piled up like a pack of puppies sleeping next to their mother, heads and feet on any part of any body. When I woke up, I found that my head was on Benji's tummy, someone was actually hugging my right arm and holding it like a security blanket, and my left foot was nestled in a warm soggy diapered crotch of someone else. As I looked around, I only saw more of this and had to smile. Benji woke up within seconds of me, as he normally does, and he smiled to me as well, and we just laid there for a while, smiling to each other as we did, waiting for the others to wake up. Within about ten minutes the last of them started stirring, and finally five minutes later we were all awake.

“Good morning everyone.” We all said more or less at the same time.

“Come on everyone, I for one really need some breakfast, and then I think we should go for a swim before you guys all have to head home.” Sheldon said.

We all agreed with this, so we headed upstairs and made and ate a really good filling breakfast, because for some reason we were once again very hungry. Once that was all cleaned up from, we headed to the pool, stripping off our very wet double diapers as we went and depositing them all in the garbage can as we went past it. We hit the showers to rinse off and then finally we dove in the pool. None of us even thought of doing anything so silly as working out, we had done that well enough the night before thank you very much, we just played and had fun. For almost two hours we played in there, once again alternating between the hot tub, sauna and the pool. Finally we were all ready to call it a day, so we got out, washed and dried off, got dressed, helped to clean up the rest of our mess, and then we were ready to go. Benji and I were the last two to leave.

“Thanks very much for all this Sheldon, and thanks for holding off 'til we were ready for it. We really appreciate it and thanks for showing us such a great time.” I said.

“No problem. Had I have done it sooner, not only would you have said no, but you wouldn't have enjoyed it any, and that's just no fun. Thanks for arranging to get us into the warehouse, though as my dad calls it, the whorehouse, that was totally awesome.”

“No problem, but I don't think it can technically be called a whorehouse, considering no money is needed.” Benji giggled.

“Doesn't matter, it's still pretty fitting.”

“I wasn't disagreeing any.”

“I wouldn't either.” I added.

“So, I guess I'll see you two at school tomorrow then, and of course you're welcome to come sit with us from now on.”

“Sounds great, see you tomorrow.” We both said.

With that we headed out and went home. It was a short bike ride and we headed straight to my place, where we were told to go. When we made it, both our dads were there like they said they would be. As soon as we had our things put away, we were told to spill our guts and tell them everything, we laughed and did so. They loved the story.

“So, how was you guys' weekend then?” Benji asked.

“Almost as good as yours was, but we didn't fire nearly as much as you boys did by the sounds of it. I bet every last one of you that can shoot yet was dry within only a couple baby boygasms.” My dad grinned.

“I know I sure was. It was actually starting to get painful at times, like my balls were gonna eject out the tip of my dick.” I giggled.

“Same here.” Benji said.

“Yep, been there, done that.” Both our dads said.

“I bet.” I laughed.

“What else did you do?” My uncle asked.

“Watched movies, played games and swam a lot. That actually brings up something.” I said.

“Let me guess, you liked Sheldon's dads' house and you want a pool now?” My dad grinned.

“Gee, how did you guess!”

“I'm a psychic of course.” He grinned.

“Right. Yeah, we'd really love a pool, but neither of our yards are large enough to really do it, so any chance we can get a bigger house built for us and put in an awesome pool and basement like Sheldon has?” I asked, telling them everything about the pool house and the basement.

“Believe it or not, we know exactly what their house looks like, as you boys may have heard, we know his dads very well and we've been guests there a few times. You may have also found out that they both did almost all the work there in the designing and the artwork. What you don't know though is that for the past two years, they've been working on our new house.”

“What, and you never told us?” Both Benji and I nearly screamed out.

“Didn't want to ruin the surprise.”

“When is it gonna be ready?”

“Actually, it was ready last weekend, the movers are scheduled to start moving us all this week. We were actually hoping that you boys wouldn't have found out 'til you came home from school tomorrow and found the houses very nearly empty. Actually, that's not entirely true, because none of the furniture is being moved at all, we've got all new stuff made for us. We had to change you boys' bedroom suites, since we felt that you'd probably just share a bedroom now, but yours weren't done yet when we called and asked, so that was good. So yeah, tomorrow you boys will get to see the new house.”

“Why can't we go see it today if it's already done?”

“Nope, not 'til it's completed do you get to see it, and that means with all the new furniture in it and everything. We've been assured that it'll all be done by tomorrow afternoon though.” My dad grinned.

“Is the pool gonna be as awesome as Sheldon's?” Benji asked.

“Even more so actually. His dad's gone all out for us, but we're paying him nearly a million to do it all for us in stones.”

“Wicked, and how about the awesome fountain?” I asked.

“We have one done of the two of you boys from when you were eight. You remember that picture we took of you then, you were hugging each other side by side and naked? We're having that one of the two of you done, so two people can have a drink if they want to. Otherwise it's identical to Sheldon. You weren't hard in the photo, but you sure are in stone.”

“Well duh, it's stone silly.” I giggled.

“Yeah, it is, but you know exactly what I mean.”

“This is gonna be so awesome. How many bedrooms is it and where is it?”

“Seven bedrooms, ten bathrooms, massive kitchen so that we can truly enjoy cooking, you should see what all we put in there, nice living and dining rooms, a really nice office for us, and then there's the basement. You'll have to wait to see it, we couldn't possibly do it justice by telling you.” My uncle started.

“As for where it is, it's actually only a couple kilometers from here. Fifteen acres, fully treed, it can't be seen from the road at all and is completely fenced in as well for full privacy. The house itself is slightly higher than the rest of the property on a slight rise. We shouldn't have spent so much money on it, but we sure do like how it turned out.” My dad finished.

“Wow. How much did it cost to build?”

“More than you can imagine. Total bill with everything is just over five million dollars. There's a million just for stone work though, both inside and out, the cost of the actual structure was almost twice that much again, but we went with the best of everything. The fence cost us almost half a million to do, and another half million again for all the furniture and electronics. Landscaping has taken a little more than that, and then finally because we made the house as self sustaining as we possibly could, there was more than another half million for all the solar heat and power collectors, the wind power generators, the water collection system, and of course the water purification system, since we'll be using almost totally collected rain water. We have a well for backup, but it'll only be used as that, the rest is runoff from the house itself. The entire house is foam encased concrete, steel and the best possible building materials to keep the house as energy efficient as we could make it. It's also earthquake proof to the best of anyone's abilities, would easily withstand an F4 tornado if we had to worry about them here, it's fire proof, it would take a bomb going off inside to get it to burn at all, and is almost impervious to flooding. Not only is it of course too high up for it, but nothing would be harmed by water with the small exception of the hardwood floors and the drywall, but even that's protected as much as possible in the only areas that could flood. In the basement it's only tiles, so water can't hurt them, and the drywall is water resistant stuff, so again, almost impervious to water. No, it's the best possible house money can buy, and we went all out.” My dad answered proudly.

“Wow, that's awesome. I so wanna go see it right now.” Benji whined.

“Well, you can't yet, so there's no point whining about it.”

“I know. What are you gonna do with these houses though?”

“Rent them out for good deals to our employees who have families and need them. They're gonna be provided with or without furniture, and we already have one family that really needs one of them. Their house just burned down two weeks ago and insurance is jerking them around. They're gonna take the house and we're not charging them any rent at all 'til they get back up on their feet again. It's the least we can do since they lost everything they had. We of course helped to get them and their kids all into good clothes and we replaced some of the kids' toys and electronics, but what they need most of all is a house right now, because they're having to pay for the hotel out of their own pockets, because like I said, the insurance company is jerking them around. We've already sent our auditor in to look at it and make sure that they're doing their job, boy did the insurance agent ever yell at me when I told him I was sending one of my guys to audit them to make sure they were doing their job properly and not ruining a good hard working family. He tried to tell me it wasn't allowed, but I pointed out that it was within a persons full legal right to audit any and all insurance decisions and they could do nothing about it. We'll hopefully have the report this week some time and then we go to the courts if they find the insurance company is liable and has to pay. If they are not at fault and the people just did not have proper coverage, then we'll do what we can for them to help them out.”

“That's a really good idea, and that's really nice of you guys for doing that for the family. I think I know one of the kids, because they were burned out of their house a couple weeks ago as well and they had nothing. Hopefully there aren't too many of them.” I said.

“We do what we can for our employees whenever possible. We're very proud to call ourselves a family business, so that means family means something to us. We help all our employees out whenever and however we can, and we've had to fight insurance companies before for them. Only once have we found that it was actually the families fault for not having adequate insurance, the other three times it was the insurance company that was at fault and were made to pay out and do so immediately. The one family that did not have proper coverage, we got them rebuilt and got them the proper coverage, and they're doing great now for it. We're also the only business people that we know of that automatically give our people a raise when they have a child, and we also give annual raises to offset the cost of living. Once again, we're a family business and we want them to have families.” My uncle said.

“Wow, I bet your employee loyalty though must be really high.” Benji said.

“Highest employee retention in the country. Between all our businesses we may only lose two or three employees a year due to unforeseen circumstances. This last year we had four, two due to death, they can't easily work for us from the grave, though I'm sure they'd still try, and one was because he decided to retire, and one sadly was because we had to fire him. We've fired a grand total of ten people over the past ten years, one a year average, I know some places that fire more people per week. This year though the one that we had to fire, we tried to help, he kept stealing though and though we got him professional help and everything he still kept doing it, so we had to tell him that he had used all his free passes and that we had done all we could for him, so had to let him go. You know, I bet we're the only bosses that cry more than the employees do when they're fired.”

“Wow. That's incredible, and you guys have more than a thousand employees total you told us.” I said.

“Almost fifteen hundred actually. When our dad owned the one business, he had a hundred and fifty people working for him, and they all hated him. He lost one or two people a month and was forever having to replace them. We've now grown his firm to three hundred strong, and lose at best one person every two years from there. It's still our largest business though, so it has the highest turnaround rate. Still, it's the single lowest in the country, if not the world.”

“That's really amazing. I hope that when it's our turn to run the businesses for you guys that we can continue doing just as well as you do.” I said. I knew I was nervous about this proposition, but both Benji and I knew it was our birth right, that eventually it would be handed to us.

“You boys are far smarter than even we were at your age. When it's time for us to hand over the reins, we have no fear at all that you'll show even us up. Of course that doesn't mean that you can't start now and do something either. The two of us had huge plans when we were your age, and when we were finally able to, we used the money we had and made those plans come true, and look where we are now. If you ever decided to try something on your own, you know we'll back you fully, so anything within reason we can do, you just ask.”

“You mean it?” Benji and I both said again.

“Of course we do. We're nothing like our asshole father was. When we went to him with a business idea, he laughed at us and called us stupid kids and to stop wasting his precious time. We were thirteen, and our business plan was simple, sell a service that was needed in the area desperately. All we asked him for was a couple thousand dollars to get it started, and he laughed at us. We never were able to get the money, until we got his company, and then we actually started the business and it has done exceptionally well for us and we have almost a hundred employees working it for us. Guess which one that is?” My dad said.

“The only one that I can think of that's geared toward kids our age that you could possibly have thought of then is the youth clubs in town.”

“Exactly. We knew when we were your age that we needed something like that in the area, because there were so many kids going out and getting into trouble. So, we started the first one and it was a huge success. We have great music there, there's lots of great food and drink for them, there's lots of games for them to play, and it keeps hundreds of kids a night off the streets. There's absolutely no drugs or alcohol allowed on site, and we monitor for it very strictly, all age kids are welcome, up to the age of eighteen, and there's no sexual touching allowed at all either. This is so that the younger kids don't have to see it. It only costs two bucks to get in for the entire night, and then everything they want to do once in we try and keep as cheap as we can, but all the foods and drinks are healthy too. No pop or candy are there at all, and while you're allowed to bring it in if you really want to, we try and discourage it. As you know, we now have four of them throughout the city.”

“Yeah, and one of these days, I'd actually like to go to one of them and see what they're like. Lots of the kids from school go and say they're great.” Benji said.

“Any time you and your friends would like to go, you let us know and we'll take you. There's also free rides home every night, so that kids aren't walking home in the dark.”

“Oh, I didn't know that, that's a good idea.”

“Thanks. That way everyone's safer and we feel more comfortable. Saves having some poor kid out after dark and getting beat up and killed or something like that. Just doing that gives us less worries.”

“And I'm sure all the kids and parents alike appreciate it as well.”

“As we've been told numerous times before.”

“We've never really thought of it before, but if we do think of something, then we'll come to you guys for sure.” I said.

“Good.” Both our dads said.

Shortly after that, Benji and his dad decided that they should head home for the night, so my dad and I were left alone. We kicked back and relaxed for the rest of the day and enjoyed each others company. Once we were ready for bed, we headed off and slept well all night long. I missed having Benji cuddled up to me though and smiled to myself in the knowledge that it would not be long and I would never have to go without again.
