The following contains scenes of explicit scenes involving male sex and in a variety of consensual activities. But, if you're looking for non-stop sex then this isn't the story for you. If any of this content is offensive to you or illegal to access in your geography, please do not proceed any further. The characters are entirely fictitious and are not based on anyone who has or is still living. This story may not be copied or posted to any other websites without explicit written permission from the author. I have been absolutely astounded by the amount of emails and messages I received about the story with Jared and his family. I am thankful that some of these words I printed may have touched some people's lives, and that they shared those moments with me. I had no clue that writing a story like this would affect so many people in the ways they have described to me. I'm idealistic and have spent my life in the public service in law enforcement and then in the field as a paramedic wanting to make a difference. But, being a Medic is a young man's job so I'm doing something else now. When I am not working, I'm at home reading the news or playing with my pets and watching the history channel, the space channel or cartoons. I am not a professional writer but I have been enjoying myself to like this hobby for the moment or until a squirrel leads me into another direction. If you have any questions or comments, please send them to me at snowblind94@yahoo.ca I truly pray for the readers of this story and their loved ones; may you all have long, healthy and lives filled with true love, acceptance and peace every day. *************************** Preamble Jared the Paramedic Volume II - The Family Gathers "Healing doesn't mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives." Recap Adam is still living with his grandfather while working at the store, and he has applied to both the Police Academy and Paramedic school. He has developed a strong and healthy friendship with Conner and Mark while continuing to attend healing sessions with Jared and Liam. All three of them are having very positive effects on each other and progressing steadily. Conner and Mark are still very good friends, but neither want to use the term "boyfriend" when speaking of the other. To be honest, they don't know if they are boyfriends, good friends or anything in between. Frank (Mark's dad) is very happy to have both of them living with him and even refers to them as his twin sons as one is never far from the other. Adam stays with them regularly and Frank thinks of all three of them all as his sons. When Adam is visiting, they are like triplets - or more like Larry, Curly and Moe. Adam, Conner and Mark still visit with the guys and stay over at the cabin on a regular basis. Jared and Liam now both live at Jared's apartment, together. There weren't any logistical problems in moving Liam's personal property and furniture over to the apartment as he actually owned very little. He had been renting a furnished apartment full of items which looked like a Goodwill store or garage sales had supplied him. Jared was quite relieved to find out Liam didn't have a lot of things, and was very happy to realize Liam had not furnished the apartment he had been living in. Jared had actually described it as looking like a Salvation Army truck had backed up and barfed its contents into the space. They were actively looking for a bigger apartment or a house where they could live together. He had spoken to grandfather about it and strangely enough they had been told by the old man it was being looked after. Jared and Liam were both invited to commence instructing at the college part-time. The main instructors needed assistance during the psychomotor or scenario based training days. At other times, a replacement is needed the College to teach for the day when the regular instructor is sick for the day. Rob returned to work after a week of recovery at home. He has no recollection of the happening in the church after being slapped by the Pastor, hitting his head and going unconscious. Both Liam and Jared were very pleased with Rob remembering the implanted story without hesitation. Rob has a new Human Resources person at the ambulance base that he is going to affectionately refer to as the "Tiger Lady" after her mentor, the Dragon Lady. Melanie had known the new HR Manager Dawn in the Marine Medical Corps and while she has same sense of humor as Melanie, Dawn is more or a correct paperwork and procedure fanatic. Rob is quite happy with the help and leaves most of the daily interactions with the staff to her to deal with. There have been several new staff members brought in, and Rob has been impressed with the quality of people his new HR Manager has been hiring. Dawn has continued to hire newly graduated people and give them the opportunity to prove themselves while balancing them with a few who were previously in the military who excellent previous experience. These people also need some help psychologically to reintegrate into civilian life, and this was a good opportunity for her and Melanie to help them in that respect as well. It had been done with Rob's blessing, after Melanie told him it was going to happen anyways in spite of whatever his skinny little ass said. *************************** I hope to get the first chapter out shortly. It's in the hands of my editor Scott who has shown a wonderful knack of interpret my crayon writing and pictures to make it into a story.
