Uncle Carl -- Part 10 of 10 Carl arrived at the house after he got off work. He walked into the kitchen, and the boys ran to him, threw their arms around him, and hugged him tight. The boy's faces plastered against his belly. "Hey you sexy things" he said. "I'm happy to see you too." Colt walked over to Carl, placed his hand behind his head, and kissed him. "Glad your home baby" he whispered in his ear. "Did Deb get off ok to the airport?" he asked. "Yeah! She sent me a text when she arrived at her gate." Colt said. "She's probably in Chicago by now. I suspect she'll drop me a text when she gets to the hotel. Maybe she's staying with Maggie. I don't really know. I forgot to ask." "Something smells good" Carl said. "I'm working on dinner; we're having eggplant parmesan, garlic potatoes, and fried zucchini." Carl smiled, patted his stomach, and said, "Damn! It's nice to be home; sexy men and good food." Colt walked over to the fridge and grabbed a beer for Carl. "Hey babe. I'm going to take a quick shower first." The boys followed their Uncle upstairs. There was no way they were going to let him shower alone. They were both naked by the time Carl got his shirt off. Carl sat down on the toilet and started to remove his work boots. The boys stood to the side watching his every move. Carl stood up after removing his boots, unbuttoned his 501's, and slid them down his legs. The boys, knelt before him, he lifted one foot at a time and let the boys pull his jeans off. Carl opened the shower door and stepped thru, the boys right behind him. He turned the shower on, adjusted the temperature, and let the water cascade down his body. First the front, and then the back. Josh grabbed the shower gel and squirted some in his hand, and then in Jake's palm. He sat the bottle back on the shelf, and the boys started to wash their uncle. Carl stepped back out of the spray, and let the boys bathe him. Jake at his front, Josh at his back. Jake ran his hands up and down Carl's torso, over his cock and balls, and down his legs to his ankles. Josh did exactly the same, but on the back of his body. Josh stood back up, and ran his hands over his uncle's firm, round ass, and slid his fingers into Carl's crack. Carl bent slightly forward, sticking his ass out towards Josh. Carl felt the boys fingers over his rosebud and moaned. Jake was washing his crotch, working up a good lather and fondling Carl's balls. Carl could feel his cock growing as the boys worked the front and back of his body simultaneously. Carl thoroughly enjoyed the boys hands on his body. As the lather started to thicken and dry, Carl stepped back under the water as the boys helped rinse him off. Carl's dick was standing at full mast, Jake slowly stroking his hard cock. Carl turned and let Josh rinse the lather out of his ass crack, and turned the shower off. Carl turned around, and placed his hands on the wall in the shower and stuck his ass out. Josh needed no direction. He leaned over and buried his face in his uncle's ass. Carl gasped when he felt Josh's tongue on his freshly laundered asshole. Jake took Carl's cock in his mouth and started to bob his head up and down. Jake was a pretty good cock sucker now and could take a portion of Carl's manhood down his throat. Carl moaned with pleasure, a tongue on his asshole, and his cock in a hot, wet mouth; absolute heaven. Josh grabbed Carl's ass and spread his cheeks apart to get maximum access to his Uncle's hole. Josh loved to eat ass as much as his brother loved to suck dick. Carl felt Jake grab his sack as Josh ran his tongue over his taint. Carl could feel his eruption approaching. He started a low guttural growl and Josh stuck in tongue in Carl's ass as far as he could go. Jake heard Carl's growl and knew he was going to get his prize any second. He tightened his lip-grip around his uncle's cock as Carl unloaded in Jake's mouth. Jake swallowed the first shot immediately, and felt the second shot hit the back of his mouth. Jake learned well how not to let even a single drop escape, swallowing all of his uncle's load. Josh withdrew his tongue from Carl's hole and continued to lick his crack while Jake continued to suckle on his softening cock. "Damn! I love it when you guys eat me like that." Carl said, his hands still leaning against the shower wall. Colt turned away from the stove when he heard Carl and the boys walk back into the kitchen. Carl smiled and winked at Colt. "Did the boys have their way with you again?" Colt chuckled. "They sure did" Carl said. "Josh ate my ass while Jake sucked me off. It was wonderful; they're getting pretty good you know." Colt nodded his head, "Tell me about it; they're like little hoovers. "Have a seat guys; dinner is almost ready." After dinner, they cuddled up together on the sofa and watched some TV. Deb had sent Colt a text and said she was staying with Maggie. The next morning, Colt stopped over at Douglas and Martins' house, and filled them in about Deb going back to Chicago. Over the next several days, they enjoyed each other's company, and bodies of course, and went about their day. Colt planned on Shrimp Scampi for dinner, so while the boys were next door, playing with Winston, he went to the market to buy what he needed for dinner. When he got back, he called Douglas to let him know he was back and he could bring the boys over whenever they were ready to come home. He hung up the wall phone and started dinner preparations. He had just finished peeing the shrimp, when Carl walked into the kitchen. "God, it smells fishy in here!" Carl said. "That's because I'm making Scampi tonight for dinner." Carl walked over and kissed Colt on the neck as he rinsed the cullender of shrimp under the tap. He dumped the shrimp in a bowl and put it in the fridge. Colt washed his hands and then gave Carl a proper welcome home. "Are the boys next door?" Carl asked. "Yeah. They went over to play with Winston. He's getting so big." Colt stated. "Did you get my text?" Carl asked. "No. I haven't seen any message. My phone hasn't buzzed" as he reached into his back pocket to pull his phone out. His pocket was empty. "Where's my phone?" he said out loud. "Fuck!" He hissed, "I hope I didn't leave it at the store." He hurried to the garage, opened the car door, leaned in, and checked the center console. "Thank you, God!" he exclaimed, and turned to walk back in the house and bumped into Carl standing right behind him. "I left it in the car" he said relieved. Carl reached around and grabbed Colt's ass in both hands, and slowly backed him up against the car. "I'm going to eat you right here" Carl said, and pressed his growing cock against Colt. "Get on your knees!" Colt ordered. Carl did as he was told. Colt grabbed a handful of hair and pulled his head back. "Pull my shorts down. Now! Carl reached up and slid his hands down Colt's back slipping his fingers under the waistband of his shorts. He slowly began to lower Colt's shorts, and then quickly pulled them down to his ankles. Colt pulled Carl's face into his crotch. Carl inhaled deeply and felt his cock begin to throb in his pants. "Lick my balls!" Colt commanded. Carl was eager to comply. He took Colt's heavy sack into his mouth and started to run his tongue over his balls. He let one drop out of his mouth and gave his full attention to the other. One by one he would suck and release. Carl pressed his nose into Colt's wet sack and breathed in his heavenly scent. Colt reached down and grabbed his ball sack, pulling it up, and cupping it in his hands. "Eat me" he ordered. Carl grabbed Colt by the thighs, spread his legs, and dove in repeatedly running his tongue over Colt's sensitive taint. Carl ran his tongue over Colt's taint to his rosebud, as Colt gasped loudly. Colt started stroking his hard cock as Carl licked his hole. His strokes became faster and faster. He grabbed Carl by the hair, pulled his head back, and said "Open your mouth!" Carl opened his mouth, and stuck out his tongue. Colt started to growl softly, aimed his cock at Carl's open mouth, and watched his cum shot out of his cock, across Carl's tongue, to the back of his throat. He shoved his dick in Carl's mouth and continued to empty his balls, as Carl tightened his lips around his brother's meat. Carl felt his brother's cock stop convulsing in his mouth and he started to suck gently, letting the remaining juice ooze out onto his tongue. He loved Colt's cum and continued to suck until Colt pulled his dick out of his mouth. Carl stood up and kissed Colt to let him taste his own seed. Carl dropped back down to his knees, grabbed Colt's ass, and pressed his nose into Colt's pubes. "Fuck! I love it when you feed me like that" Carl said. He leaned back slightly and took Colt's cock back in his mouth. Colt rested his hand on the back of Carl's neck as he slowly sucked his spent dick. Carl felt his mouth start to fill as Colt released his piss. He swallowed eagerly and squeezed Colt's ass hard, moaning loudly between gulps. When the stream came to an end, Carl stood up and kissed Colt gently on the neck. "I fucking love you so much" he whispered in Colt's ear. Carl thought he heard something, he froze and listened intently. "The boys are back" Carl said, stepping back, releasing his hold on Colt. Colt bent down and pulled up his shorts. He grabbed his cell phone off the roof of the car, and together, they headed back into the house. Colt looked across the living room and saw Douglas standing in the foyer. "Hey Doug, thanks for bringing the boys over." Colt said, as he walked over to Douglas, and gave him a hug. The boys went up to their room after giving their dad and uncle a quick hug. "I'm making Scampi tonight; why don't you and Martin join us for dinner." Colt said. "Thanks so much for the invite handsome, but Martin and I have reservations tonight at Oh Henry's. I'll take a rain check though. I have to run guys, we have a 6:30 reservation," turned, and opened the front door. "See you guys later" he said, and stepped thru the door, closing it behind him. Colt and Carl went into the kitchen. "You said that you sent me a text?" Colt asked. He grabbed his phone to read the text and noticed that he had a missed call notification. He checked the log; it was Deb. "Deb called he said." Carl looked at Colt and said, "Don't worry about my text. We can do it another time. I just asked if you and the boys would like to do a movie tonight. She left a voice mail I presume" Carl inquired. Colt checked his voicemail and hit the speaker button on the phone. "Hi it's Deb. I wanted to let you know that I will find out tomorrow if I got the job; they just called me to let me know. Keep your fingers crossed. As soon as I know, you will be the first one I call." Colt terminated the call and looked at Carl. "Wow! They waiting is finally over" Colt said. We'll know definitively tomorrow." When Carl left the house to go to work the next morning he said to Colt, "Call me as soon as you talk to Deb." Colt rested his hand on Carl's ass and said, "As soon as I hang up the phone, I'll call you; I promise. With the time difference, I expect to get her call by noon today, our time." Carl kissed him and walked out the door. Colt went into the kitchen and started getting the boys breakfast ready. The boys came down, shortly after he called to them from the bottom of the stairs. "OK guys, School starts in 45 minutes. You need to put clothes on before you log on; at least a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. We need to be careful." Colt set up a kind of alcove in the boys room just for school. He set it up so the boys would be facing each other, and set up a wall around the alcove with free-standing room dividers he found on Amazon. When the cam was engaged, it was impossible to see anything else in the room. He, or Carl, could come and go from the boys bedroom and no one would see a thing. After breakfast, the boys followed their dad upstairs, the boys went to their room to begin their school day, and Colt to his, to begin his work day. About two hours into his work day, the house line rang. He jumped up and hurried down to the kitchen to answer the phone. Although the house had a jack in every room, the kitchen was the only room in the house with a phone. Thinking it might be Deb, he rushed to answer before it went to voicemail. "Hey Colt, it's Jenny. I am calling to let you know that the divorce will be final and complete by noon tomorrow. I am going to call Deb next and let her know. I know she's back in Chicago; if she doesn't answer, I'll leave her a voicemail." Colt felt a sense of relief. He thanked Jenny for calling, and hung up the phone. He pulled out his cell, and sent Carl a short text. "No call from Deb yet. Divorce final tomorrow." He hit the camera button on his phone, and took a quick selfie of his dick, attached it to the text, and hit send. About 12 minutes later, he got a text notification. He opened the text and an image of Carl's hard cock appeared on screen. He could tell Carl took the pic in his truck. The text read "Hungry?" Colt smiled, sent a horny emoji back, and closed the text. Before going back to work, he decided to log onto Amazon and buy a phone for each room in the house. Noon was approaching. He went down to prepare lunch for the boys; tuna and avocado sandwiches. There was still no call from Deb. He sent a short text to Carl, "Still no news from Chicago." He sat the boy's lunch on the table and waited for them to come down. At 1:12 his cell phone buzzed with a text notification. The text read. "I'm sorry; I couldn't get away until now. I'm in the women's toilet at this very moment. I got the job. I signed the contract, and have been in introductory meetings with some of the executive staff. Will call tomorrow." Colt sent a short text back and included a happy face emoji. He immediately called Carl. "Hello my love" Carl answered the phone. "Deb got the job baby" Colt said. I don't have any details yet. She sent me a text from the women's bathroom." Carl started to giggle. "The women's bathroom?" he said. "Apparently once she signed the contract, they started introducing her to executive staff back to back. She excused herself and went to the restroom so she could give me the good news. She'll call tomorrow and give me all the details." "So tomorrow we find out when the big move will take place?" Carl asked. "I suspect so. The only issue now is how the boys are going to react to Deb leaving. I'm mean, when she leaves the house for the last time, and moves to Chicago, that's it. She and I will no longer be husband and wife. The house will no longer be her home. It's makes me sad in a way." "I understand" Carl said. "But it's not as if you're never going to see her again, or the boys are never going to see her again, she will always be family, divorce, or no divorce, she's always going to be a part of your life, and the boys life. Concentrate on that when those sad feelings pop up. Let's have a kind of date night tonight: just you and me. What do you say sexy?" Carl asked. "I love that idea. That would be nice to spend some time together; just you and me. We haven't really done that since our lives have changed with this quartet thing we have going on here. What'd you have in mind?" Colt asked. "Let's keep it simple and easy, we'll just go to the flicks. You pick the movie. It's two hours, hopefully the boys can hang out at Doug & Marty's, and we'll be back by bedtime. Easy-squeezy. It's just a little something different." Carl said. "Sounds good to me" Colt said. "I'll call Douglas right now and see if they're available. I presume you'll be home at the usual time then stud?" Carl thought for a second, "I'll try my best to get back early. Maybe we can have an early dinner and still make happy hour before the movie." "Perfect. Let's do that. I'm going to call Douglas right now. See you soon baby." Colt hung up the phone and called next door immediately. By the time Carl got home, Colt had dinner ready to go; all that was left to do was the actual cooking. Carl walked into the house and called, "Honey, I'm home" and started to giggle to himself. He walked into the kitchen and gave Colt a hug. "Everything good to go with Douglas and Martin? He asked. "Everything is ready. I have prepared everything in advance. I just have the actual cooking to do. As you can see, I have already set the table." Carl kissed him and smiled. "You're the best. I'm going to go up and shower. You know as soon as the boys hear the shower, they will be right there by my side." Colt looked at Carl and said, "Oh yes they will; just do the best you can. Dinner will be ready in 30 minutes. We're having pan-fried, blackened Cajun catfish, corn on the cob, and spinach. It won't take long." Right on cue, as soon as they heard Carl turn on the shower, Josh and Jake were right there. "Hey guys" Carl said. They ran over to him and wrapped their arms around him. He sat down on the toilet, pulled them into his arms, and gave them a big hug. "Your dad and I are going out tonight for a couple of hours. You guys can play with Winston until we get back. We are having and early dinner tonight, so I need to take a quick shower." Josh put his arm around Carl's shoulder, "Can we go with you Uncle Carl?" Josh asked. "Sorry buddy, not this time. One of the places your dad and I are going to is a bar, and minors are not allowed in a bar. But, I promise, this weekend we will all do something fun together." "I'm going to take a quick shower. I will come to your room when I'm done, and we'll all go downstairs together. Deal?" The boys nodded their heads in unison. "Can we wash you?" Jake asked. "Absolutely you can wash me" Carl responded. "But tonight, and just for tonight, we don't have time to play in the shower. Understand?" The boys nodded their heads, "We understand Uncle Jake; no fooling around." Jake said. Carl and Colt left the pub and drove over to the movie theatre. They decided to see Bird Box since they were both fans of Sandra Bullock. They stopped at the concession stand and got a medium popcorn and a Dr. Pepper to share. The theatre they went to only shows movies that have been out for a while; never current releases, and as such, the price of the ticket is only $5.00, $3.00 for seniors. It's a good deal if going to the movies is your thing. When the theatre opened originally, all movies were $1.00. The theatre has 9 screens. Bird Box was showing in theatre 8. Colt was hoping that their theatre that night was one that had been renovated. Some of the theatres had those, large, leather reclining chairs that were adjustable at the push of a button, with its very own cup holder in the console. Much to their chagrin, theatre 8 had not been renovated; it still had the old-style seats. Each theatre entrance, as well as the lobby, had signs all over the place about keeping social distancing. You had to sit at least 4 seats away from each other. The front rows, closest to the screen were completely sectioned off; they were closed. When they walked into theatre 8, there were maybe 6 people in the whole theatre, scattered about. They climbed up the stairs to the very last row of seats, and sat smack-dab in the middle of the last row. Carl had to pee, thanks to the beer he had at the pub, and went back down the stairs to find the men's room. He kept his mask in his back pocket just in case. He walked into the bathroom and selected a urinal far away from anyone. There were only a couple of guys standing at the urinals, all of whom, were wearing masks. He reached in his back pocket and put his mask on before walking down to his selected spot. He had just started to pee, when the guys up the line started to leave. He heard the bathroom door open, just a few seconds later, someone stepped into the stall directly behind him. He heard the guys stream hit the toilet water with considerable force, and wondered what the guy looked like. He finished peeing, shook off, and stuffed his dick back in his shorts. As he was putting himself together, the guy behind stopped peeing too. He turned, took a step back, and saw the stall door wide open. The guy was standing sideways, drying the head of his dick with toilet paper. Carl immediately took a picture of the guy in his head. He was about 20 Carl guessed. He was cute, lean body, with black hair, and very sexy, with a nice cock. Carl stood there for a second and watched the guy dry off his dick. The guy looked up at him and smiled. "Nice, very nice." Carl said, feeling his dick twitch. "Enjoy your movie" Carl said, and headed for the door. He made it back to Colt, grabbed some popcorn from the bucket, and told Colt about the guy in the bathroom. Just before the theatre lights started to dim, he saw the cute guy from the bathroom coming up the stairs. "Babe, that's the guy I'm talking about. That's the guy from the bathroom coming up the stairs right now. That's him." Carl said. Colt only got a quick look at him before the theatre went dark. The guy from the bathroom took a seat three chairs down from Carl. He slouched back in his chair, and spread his legs, his feet flat on the floor. Carl lifted his left arm rail up hiding it between the chair backs to get a better view of the bathroom guy. He watched Carl lift the chair arm and he reached over to the chair next to him, and lifted the arm. One by one he scooted right, and lifted each chair arm. When there was an unobstructed view from Carl to him, he scooted back to his original seat. Carl's cock twitched again. This guy was obviously interested; no question about it. The previews started and Carl turned to watch the screen. He raised his left arm and rested it on the top of the chair back to his left, he spread his legs wide, and placed his right hand in his crotch, and squeezed his cock thru his shorts. Colt smiled when he saw Carl spread his legs and squeeze his member for the benefit of the bathroom guy. About halfway thru the previews, the bathroom guy, stood up and headed down the stairs. Carl wondered where he was going; perhaps back to the bathroom maybe? About five minutes later, Carl saw him coming back up the stairs, a small bag of popcorn in his hand. The previews ended and the main feature started. Twenty minutes into the movie, Carl looked over at bathroom guy, and his hand was in his pants. Carl jabbed Colt, leaned over, and whispered; he's playing with his dick. Colt bent forward slightly, and looked over. There was obvious movement in his pants. Colt reached over and grabbed Carl's cock. "What are you doing?" he whispered. You'll get me hard." Colt squeezed his cock. "Let's show him how it's done stud" Colt whispered. Carl knew exactly what Colt was thinking and his cock responded. Colt placed the bag of popcorn on the seat next to him. He leaned back and spread his legs. Carl reached over and grabbed Colt's cock. He began to rub his dick thru his pants. Colt unbuttoned his shorts and slid the zipper down. He pulled his fabric to each side exposing his pubes. Carl reached into Colt's pants and pulled his cock out. Colt moaned as Carl started slowly stroking his growing cock. He turned to look over at bathroom guy and saw him looking back. Carl's cock was straining to be set free. He released Colt's cock and unbuttoned his shorts making sure that bathroom guy was well aware of what he was doing. Carl slid his zipper down as he watched the bathroom guy slip his other hand into his pants. Carl lifted his butt off the seat and slid his shorts down, his cock popping up at full attention. Carl grabbed his hard cock at the base and rocked it back and forth, waving it thru the air. Bathroom guy scooted one seat closer to Carl, both hands still in his pants. Colt bent over and took Carl's cock in his mouth, and started a slow bob up and down on his shaft. Carl placed his right hand on the back of Colt's head, and with the left, motioned for bathroom guy to come closer. Bathroom guy scooted one seat closer to Carl, he was almost within reach. Colt released Carl's cock, and sat back in his seat. He lifted his ass off of the seat, and lowered his shorts as Carl did just minutes before. Bathroom guy watched as Carl and Colt stroked their dicks. He scooted one seat over and was now sitting right next to Carl. Carl leaned over and grabbed the front of bathroom guy's pants and started to pull them down. He lifted his ass off the seat, and pulled his pants down to his thighs. His rock-hard dick popped up and pointed to the ceiling. Carl leaned over and swallowed the guys cock. He started to suck hard and then stopped. He held the guys cock in his mouth and stuck his tongue in the guy's piss slit and tasted his precum. Colt dropped to his knees in front of Carl and started sucking his cock. Carl let bathroom guy's cock go and leaned back in his seat. Colt released Carl's cock. Carl grabbed his cock and started to rub it over Colt's face and bounce it off Colt's tongue. Carl placed his hand on the back of bathroom guy's head and pushed him down on his cock. Bathroom guy dropped to his knees next to Colt, and began licking Carl's cock like a lollypop. Colt and bathroom guy started to lick Carl's cock as a team, their tongues meeting at the center of Carl's dick. Occasionally they would kiss and go back to sucking Carl's cock. The sight of two guys sucking his cock brought him to the edge. He felt his balls tighten as his cock shot ropes of cum into the air. Some of his jizz landed on their faces or hair, some in Carl's pubes. They continued to lick Carl's cock until his eruption ceased. They took turns licking the cum off of Carl's cock, and out of his pubes. When none was left, they proceeded to lick the cum off of each other's face. Colt sat back in his seat and bathroom guy slid across the floor and started to suck Colt's cock. He swallowed Colt's cock and soon, Colt felt his balls start to churn as he emptied them in bathroom guys mouth. Once Colt stopped shooting, bathroom guy released Colt's cock and took a seat next to Carl. Carl leaned over and wrapped his hand around bathroom guys throbbing erection. He rubbed his thumb over his piss slit and licked the nectar off his thumb. He leaned in and kissed him hard, tasting a remnant of Colt's load on his tongue. "We're going to make you cum sexy" Carl whispered in his mouth. Carl sat back and scanned the theatre to make sure everyone was still seated and looking forward. Stand up in front of us Carl whispered to him. Bathroom guy got up and stood before them. Carl took his cock in his mouth and started a rhythmic suck. He would pull off and let Colt take over. Together they took turns sucking bathroom guy until Colt felt his dick get even harder and knew he was going to pop any second. He's gonna cum Carl told Colt. Both Carl and Colt stuck their tongues out. "Cum in our mouths" Carl whispered to him. He grabbed his dick and started to jerk. In just seconds his cock exploded and they tasted his young load on their tongue. He divided his shots so they each got a good taste of his cum. After he stopped shooting, he rubbed his cock on each of their tongues wiping off any remaining ooze. They each took one last taste of his cock before he pulled up his pants and walked back to his original seat. Carl and Colt leaned back into their seats, their shorts still down around their thighs. "Fuck, that was hot" Carl said. They looked over at bathroom guy and he pulled his dick out, ran his finger over his piss slit, and licked it off. "Man, after my own heart" Carl whispered. "He's a cum pig too." They left their shorts down around their legs almost until the end of the movie. When the movie ended, bathroom guy stood up, nodded his head goodbye, and headed down the stairs. Carl and Colt waited until the end of the cast credits before leaving the theatre. "We are going to have to Netflix this movie; we missed half of it." Colt said. "Yeah, but it was worth it. That guy came in buckets." Carl responded on the way down the stairs. As promised, Deb called Colt the next day and filled him in on all of the details. Colt filled Carl in when he got home. Her start date in Chicago was 30 days following the signing of the contract. The good news is that once she arrives in Chicago, the hospital will put her up in a fully furnished, executive apartment they have on the top floor of the hospital. She can stay there up to 90 days so she will not have to rush to find a place to live right away. When she gets home, together, we will break the news to the boys. The first day back at work, she will submit her resignation. She's decided to UPS her clothing out, and whatever personal paper files she may have at the house. She will also ship her car out. In terms of physical things, there was really nothing she wants to take to Chicago. Most of her pictures were on her computer and or in the cloud. The physical move was going to be a piece of cake. The emotional component to the move was an entirely different matter. "What time do you anticipate Deb getting home tomorrow?" Carl asked. "Her plane is scheduled to land at 3:09 PM. She will catch the shuttle to the hospital, pick up her car, and then she'll drive home. So, I suspect somewhere around 4:30ish." Colt answered. "It's sounds like she's got all bases covered." Carl said. The next morning, they all had breakfast together. Carl made arrangements with Chuck to go in late so he could spend as much time with Colt as possible before Deb got back. When the boys went to school, or more aptly, logged on to school, Carl and Colt shagged each other until the minute Carl had to leave for work. Before Carl left the house, they embraced in the foyer and hugged each other tight for a long moment. "See you later baby" Carl said, opened the door and stepped thru. Colt stood in the doorway until Carl's truck was out of sight. Later that day, about 3:30, Colt got a text from Deb. "I'm on my way to pick up my car. See you soon" the text read. Colt felt a wave of anxiety pass thru him now that the time to tell the boys their mother is leaving was fast approaching. In his head, and on several occasions, he had rehearsed telling the boys their mother was moving out permanently. Each rehearsal was different than the previous. He was unsure how to tell them, and their reaction to the news, and it gave him a lot of angst. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and prayed that everything would be alright. When Deb walked into the kitchen, Colt was making a container of iced tea, Douglas' recipe that Josh likes so much. Colt looked over at Deb, "How was the trip?" he inquired. "Uneventful" she replied. "At least there is a direct flight from Chicago; that will make it easier in future." Deb said. "Is Carl around?" Deb asked. "No, he's working. Why?" Colt answered. "I have been thinking a lot about what we talked about several weeks ago, about maybe Carl moving in. I know how the boys feel about it. Have you said anything to him recently? How do you feel about the idea?" she asked. "To your first question, no, I have not talked to Carl about that since we, you, and me, talked about it last. As for me personally, I think it's a great idea myself. Carl & I have always been close since we were kids, the boys love him and vice-versa, so I'm all for it." "Do you think he would seriously consider the idea; moving in permanently? Deb asked. "I do Deb, yes. He wouldn't have to pay rent or utilities, that's a huge savings right there. So, knowing Carl as I do, I think he would." Colt could see a sense of relief in Deb's face. "I think we should talk to Carl seriously about the idea. If he agrees, it would make me feel so much better I can't tell you. Do you mind if I call him and ask him over for dinner tonight?" Deb asked. "No, not at all. Give him a call." Colt said. He was feeling a little guilty about knowing full well that Carl will gladly move in permanently, however, he thought it would be better for Deb to pursue the idea. It was more important to him to reduce her anxiety about the Chicago move. Colt watched Deb dial Carl and leave him a voicemail with an invitation to dinner. "I'm going to take my bags up to my room" Deb announced. "Want some help?" Colt asked. "Nah, I'm good, thanks." Colt went back to making the iced tea. Deb met Carl at the door. Carl stepped into the foyer and Deb gave him hug. "How was Chicago?" Carl asked. "Come on in, I'll get you a beer, and fill you in. I'm sure Colt has probably told you everything anyway. Have a seat; be right back." Carl took a seat in the chair in the living room. Deb walked in and handed Carl his beer, walked over to the loveseat, and sat down. About twenty minutes later, Carl said to Deb, "It sounds as if everything is working out." Deb nodded her head. "I'm really, really anxious about how the boys are going to react. That's one of the reasons why I asked you over to dinner Carl. I know that you and Colt had a brief conversation about the possibility of you moving in several weeks ago. I wanted to talk to you personally about the idea." Deb took a deep breath and started fidgeting with her hands and squirming around in the loveseat. Carl couldn't tolerate seeing her anxiety and just wanted to give her a big hug. He looked at her and said, "Deb, the answer is yes." Deb looked over at Carl, her mouth wide open as if she saw something scary. She didn't say a word. Carl got up and sat down in the loveseat beside her. "My answer is yes" Carl said softly. Deb leaned into him and Carl wrapped his arms around her and squeezed to try and relieve her anxiety. "Don't worry Deb. It's all going to work out. You'll see." She extracted herself from Carl's embrace, and leaned back in the loveseat as if she just bench pressed 500 pounds. Carl could see the relief in her face. "God! Thank you, so much Carl. Are you sure this is something you want to do?" she asked, hoping she gets the answer she so desperately wants to hear. "Look Deb, I'm never going to have a family of my own. I love you, Colt, and the boys so much; you guys are my family. Of course, I'm sure. I have thought about this since Colt first mentioned the idea." This time, it was Deb doing the hugging. "Thank you, Carl. Thank you, thank you." Deb said repeatedly. "I'm hoping that this is going to make the world of difference when we tell the boys I'm moving. They love you so much I hope when they learn you are moving in, they will not feel like I'm abandoning them, or that I don't love them anymore. That's my biggest fear; it terrifies me." Her words almost brought tears to Carl's eyes, but he maintained composure to support her; to be strong for her. "I'll do everything within my power to help anyway I can Deb." Carl said, trying to ease her pain. It broke his heart. He has never seen her in such distress. "If you and Colt want me to be here when you tell the boys, just say so. It's not a problem." Colt told Deb. "You and Colt talk about it and let me know." "Talk about what?" Colt said as he walked into the living room. Deb looked up at Colt, "about the three of us collectively telling the boys I'm moving." Deb said. "I think it will be better for the boys if Carl is here with us when we tell them." Colt sat down in the sofa, "I agree" Colt said, "as long as it's OK with you Carl." Carl looked over at Colt, "It's OK with me; whatever you two think is best for the boys." "Do you think we should tell them tonight after dinner?" Deb asked Colt. "I don't really think that delaying it serves and purpose. Your 30-day timeline is already ticking down. The longer we wait to tell them, leaves less opportunity for them to adjust to the news, or ask questions while you're still here. So, the sooner the better for those reasons alone, is best." Colt said. "If you disagree, please let me know. That includes you too Carl." "I totally agree" Deb said. "As do I; I think that would be best for the boys." Carl added. Deb took a deep breath and exhaled. "It's settled then; we tell the boys tonight after dinner. God help us!" she said softly. Deb picked at the food on her plate all thru dinner. She didn't eat much. Her stomach was just a ball of knots. Colt could feel her anxiety and wished he had a magic wand to make it go away. It hurt his heart to see her like this and fought back the tears that started to well up in his eyes. He quickly wiped his eyes with the napkin, took a deep breath, and decided, now or never. "Hey guys" he said. "Your mom and I have to tell you something." Colt cleared his throat, and took a sip of his iced tea. He looked at Deb quickly, and then back to them. "As you already know, your mom has had to go to Chicago for work a lot recently. Well, the people in Chicago really like your mom, and the work she has been doing there for them. So much in fact, that they have offered your mom a really, really good job. It was such a good offer, your mom accepted the job, which means that she has to move to Chicago permanently." "Now that does not mean that you will not see her anymore. You can see your mom and talk to her just like we have always done in the past when she went away for her job. You can skype, facetime, talk on the phone, and even email each other. Just like you have always done before. What do you guys think about that?" Colt asked the boys. For several moments, the kitchen filled with absolute silence. Deb held her breath in fear of their reaction. Carl had his fists clenched under the table, and Colt squeezed his glass of iced tea in his hand so no one would notice it trembling. "So, you wouldn't live with us anymore mom?" Josh asked. When Deb tried to respond to his question, her voice cracked and she had to clear her throat. "No baby, I would have to live in Chicago." "For how long?" Jake asked. "I had to sign a contract with this job promising that I would stay in Chicago for 2 years. After the 2 years are up, I can go someplace else, or stay in Chicago for another 2 years." Deb answered. "Will we see you mom?" Josh asked. "Oh yes, absolutely you will see me. Like your dad said, we have Skype and Facetime. I will come and visit you guys and your dad. You will definitely see me guys." "Think about this too guys" Carl jumped in. "You guys can go see your mom too. You can get on an airplane and go to Chicago. Your mom can show you around; it's a big city." Judging by the smiles on their face, the boys seemed to like that idea. For the next 40 minutes or so, the boys asked a lot of questions. Deb answered most of their questions, with Colt and Carl occasionally jumping in to reinforce her answers or clarity them. At the end of the question & answer period, Deb said, "we also have some good news for you too guys. Since I have to move to Chicago, your Uncle Carl is going to move in with you and your dad permanently. How's that sound?" The boys looked at each other, started to cheer, ran around the table, and threw their arms around their Uncle. Deb immediately felt relief to see the boys so happy about their uncle moving in. She sat back in the chair and took a big breath of relief. When it came time for Carl to leave, Colt and Deb walked him to the door. "Thank you so much Carl" Deb said. As difficult as that was, it made it easier by you just being here with us." Colt stepped up and hugged Carl, "Yes, thank you, brother. I think it made all the difference in the world." Carl looked at them both and smiled, "You're welcome. I'll see you guys later." Colt and Deb walked into the living room. Deb plopped down in the chair, and Colt in the loveseat. "Man! I'm so glad that part is over" Deb said. "I thought that I was going to faint there for a while." Colt looked over at her, "You want a beer?" Colt asked. "Oh God yes! Please." Colt went into the kitchen and returned with two beers. He took a seat and said, "Be aware that I fully expect the boys to have more questions for you over the next couple of weeks. Once they start to process all of this, they are going to have questions. This part is not entirely over yet." Deb looked over a Colt and nodded her head in understanding. Over the next couple of weeks, Colt was absolutely right, the boys had more questions for their mom. Fortunately, she was able to answer their questions calmly, and put the boys at ease. She resigned from her job, shipped boxes to Chicago, and made arrangements to ship her car out the day before she left. Colt thought that it was a good idea if they all went to the airport together to see her off and say goodbye. He asked Carl to drive since his truck could accommodate everyone comfortably. They stood in the short-term parking lot at the airport and said their goodbyes. Everyone had tears rolling down their face, the courtesy shuttle pulled up. She leaned over and hugged the boys, "I love you! I will skype you guys tomorrow" she said to the boys, and boarded the shuttle. Colt wrapped his arm around Josh, and Carl, Jake, and got back in the truck. Carl looked at Colt, then the boys in the back seat, "Let's go home my loves" and started the engine.
