Date: Thu, 5 Jan 2023 04:17:00 +0000 (UTC) From: cgf2662 Subject: The Z-1 Ranch P-123 The Z-1 Ranch P-123 CGW© Mom, you don't understand I don't want this, it was never supposed to happen. I was going to find a young lady when I was a little bit older, settle down and have children. Sometimes the best laid plans get altered by nature and we can't do anything about this Dwight. Do you think this is what Blake wanted, from what I can understand he has a job on the construction crew and he is one of the young up-and-coming breeders over at the conception center. He didn't plan anything either, but here we are it happened nature and genetics. I'm so human, I'm not like him he's a pureblood they do this kind of thing second-generation human hybrids don't do this at all. Father told me I was to never let myself be opened, by a human or a Genman he wanted me to father my own children with someone like you mom. Son there's nothing that can be done about this, in nine months you will birth the child, one that you and Blake have created. Likewise, he will birth a child also, one that you created with him and they will be full siblings. My grandchildren, do you understand that? The child that you carry inside of you will be my grandchild and the one that Blake is carrying will also be my grandchild. But what about father, he's going be so disappointed in me he will never speak to me again, I failed him. Dwight; calm down and take a deep breath and relax. You will not blame yourself for nature taking its own course, and if your father does not accept this, he is the one that has failed you, his son. Blake, I need to know how you feel, this is not what you intended. I know this because I've spoken to Mr. Ben about the whole matter. How can I help you? Nothing can help me; this is done and it will be as it should be. Blake, baby look at me you are no different than my son. You carry my grandchild and I will help you every moment that I can. You have the network of the entire Burke family and your family here at the Z1. Allison leaned over and gently kissed Blake on his cheek. You are not alone; you now have a mother. Tears began to roll down Blake's cheeks. Ms. Burke, I have never had a parent that I can remember. We were raised by someone in the program until we are about six months then we were put with other children in an environment that was no better than warehousing. No one has ever fought for me, we were just a number; I got my name like the other boys did out of the shoebox when we drew out papers with names written on them. Well, you have an older brother-in-law and you have Dwight to lean on, he's a little shaky now, but Joe Junior he's good and he'll treat you right. Plus, you have grandparents, Joseph and Poppy who will treat you no different than they do Dwight or Joe Junior. I don't think I deserve too much in life, I will birth the child and raise him teaching him right from wrong. When he is three celebrations, he will start his own life and I will be the best parent that I can. Tobias guffed, Blake; look at me, you know what happened to me, the shape that I'm in is not my choice either but this is something that I have come to accept. I was to go into the breeding program after I learned a little bit more about things. Mr. Ben said that I can start sitting in and taking notes during some private conception sessions but I can't see myself getting with anyone in my shape. Tobias you were kidnapped, nothing was done with your consent. They drugged you and just took over your body. No one can blame you for the shape that you're in, this was something I did, this was something that my body did, it betrayed me and what I had planned. You know that in class Blake we learn that things like this can happen, we may go in for a private breeding session and come out pregnant ourselves if we hit the right hormonal balance and our body reacts to them; remarked Ben. He's very true Blake that's what I tell you in class, we take every precaution so that this will not happen but once a rutt starts other than tranquilizing both parties, there's not a whole lot can be done if the copulation has already started. I've told every young person that wants to go into the conception program that these are realities. Nature has plans for us that we don't even know what to do with. I know Mr. Ben but this was something that should not have happened, I was out in public and I couldn't control my simple urges. Blake there was nothing simple about this, the moment you and Dwight first met it started to build. When your hands touched and you shared that French fry between the two of you your fate was sealed. You would have seriously hurt or even killed someone to get back to Dwight so that the two of you could conceive together, that's what happens in a double rutt. I know Mr. Ben but that room you didn't see it, I don't know how I'm going to pay for any of it. I know we make a little bit selling our nectar plus I make money working for Mr. Ted but what we did to that room was beyond anything you could ever believe. I've seen it, not in person but Mr. Zach sent us some photos and video footage of the disaster that the two of you created. It's the simple shit that happens and you just deal with it. A little drywall, a little paint, a little texture, a new mattress, new bed frame, a couple of new doors, some light fixtures nothing was done that cannot be replaced or repaired. My vent can't be repaired, I'm going to have problems from now own, since I've been broken open. Blake it's nothing that we can't take care of, we know that you are susceptible to pheromones especially when the you get next to good-looking guys like Dwight. Likewise, he's susceptible to you. I doubt that you will react this way to anyone else, in fact I bet neither one of you will react with anyone else. Now I'm going to call to the main house and see when lunch is going to be brought over for everyone here. Zach and I have a few things that we need to take care of. I want the two of you young men to stay here in the house. If anyone stops by, you have the flu and they cannot come in. Thank you, Mr. Ben and Mr. Zach you didn't have to do this. We take care of each other, just like family here on the Z1. Zach will clear your work schedule with Ted you will take a couple more days off because of your illness. Dwight; you need to get settled in here at the house and get used to being here for a few months. You can take class here at the University so that you don't miss any credits and it will be updated at the city University to reflect that. They don't need to know anything about your life, so you can save face and not be embarrassed. Because young man there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Thank you Mr. Ben I don't know what I'm going to do I might drop out of school. Like hell you will son, you will continue your education, you will not fail yourself by walking away just because you're expecting. Mom; I'll try my best but my mind is somewhere else. That's okay; why don't you and Blake go to his room and relax until lunch arrives. I imagine the two of you were quite hungry and by that time your grandparents should be here. I wished they had not decided to visit. I don't feel like a visit, I know the they don't pass judgment like father but still I feel that I've let them down. You better not hear Poppy talk like that dear brother, pregnant or not he will whip your ass. He is always told us to be proud of who and what we are because we were special. I know you've always been jealous of me and the way I turned out. It's just simple genetics and you are the lucky one. I was always envious of you that you could reproduce and raise your own child, I mean it's not that Mitch and I don't get along and I'm going to love the baby just fine but there's something that is missing in me that I cannot help. Joe, I didn't know you felt that way, really and truly you don't want to be like me. Locking myself away for my cycle so that I didn't attract unwanted attention. Getting hot and bothered and having to wear a shield so that I didn't soak my pants. When it's cycle time my glands swell and ooze nectar through my shirt if I wasn't wearing pads to soak up the nectar. Having to pump twice a day when I was producing too much. Why didn't I know that you are having that problem, why didn't you come to me your mother, I could help you? It's nothing that I couldn't handle, I didn't want anybody to know so I poured out the nectar. Young man here that's not allowed, you will pump and put it in containers and it will be sold so that other Genmen can benefit and also humans because with our nectar they make medications and it saves lives of newborns at the hospital in the city. You will earn credits from all of the nectar that sold. I didn't know that was possible, you mean there's a market for this stuff? A very competitive and high-priced market, it's sells by the ounce and the value fluctuates daily. But we can talk about that later, I will bring you all the paperwork and explain everything to you. I could refer you back to someone else but I want to handle this myself. Thank you very much Mr. Ben, I'll do my best. Okay now you two young men need to go to Blake's room and lay down, that way the two of you can talk about things. The boys were resting for about an hour when Ben's phone went off and interrupted the conversation that everyone was having in the living room area. Hello you have Ben's phone how can I help you? Is there any way that I can talk to you Mr. Ben there's been a development here in the medical area and I really need some help, you are the expert around here. Rupert is everything okay? Yes, sir but then no it's not. I have an emergency placement here in the clinic but he's gonna have to have a very special host family. Let me step out front so that we can talk in private Rupert, okay I'm on the front porch the boys house what's up. First thing Mr. Ben is everything okay with the two wayward ones? Everything is fine but they will need to be set up with appointments, monthly appointments if you get my drift. So, what is the problem? We had a young genman show up at the clinic in labor, he has never been here before and likely will never see him again. But that's not the problem, he signed a waiver and left without the child. He disappeared out the front gate and was gone. We ran DNA and neither parent shows up on any registry. That's not a problem Rupert, you can place the child at your discretion. No Sir this is one for you, the child is very special. Births like this only come once in 1.5 million births. What's the deal? Now you have my interest peaked. The father was human and the dad was a pureblood and the child is a first-generation human hybrid. I know it happens in second and third generations even more readily in forth generations if there is a human aspect every time and even more common if there are human females giving birth but this was a pureblood that gave birth to him. So, you see my problem no one here is really qualified to accept this child and even if they did on a part-time basis there would be too many animosities. Ben thought about it for a few minutes, Rupert please bring the child to the boy's home, we have an authority here on the situation. Allison is Joe Junior and Dwight's mother and she's here. I'm going to do something very out of line and out of character. Dwight is a second-generation hybrid that was born of a human female and a hybrid genman father, his brother is a human hybrid so he has been exposed to this his entire life. I can't think of anyone that is more qualified in the aspects of the conflicts the child would have. Are you sure Mr. Ben or do you want to discuss it with them before I bring the child. Absolutely not, bring the little tyke to his new home and if all goes well in nine months, he will have two siblings. Did he bond with the birthing dad? Absolutely not, he would not even touch the child much less let it suckle, he has been given neutralized nectar so that he didn't pick up any attributes from any donor. We will see you when you get here just knock on the door and someone will let you in. Ben returned to the family meeting that was in progress. Attention; a special guest will arrive in a few minutes and he needs to meet his caretakers. Tobias looked at Mr. Ben; caretakers what are you getting us into Mr. Ben? Nothing for you to worry about other than every now when a couple of individuals might need a little assistance from you, Sammy, Joe Junior, Mitch, Ron and Chris but I'm thinking about Blake and Dwight as the primary caretakers. Allison you may need to assist your son and Blake in the proper care and handling of the special visitor. Tobias; please go wake up the boys and have them come back out here so that they will be ready when the special visitor arrives. Tobias left the living room area headed back to Blake's room. I don't know what you have planned Ben Spinelli, but I sense that it was urgent and appropriate to complete this task? Zach just watch and learn; the master is at work and I will not take no for an answer. Rejection will never happen twice on this ranch. Everyone but Zack was at a loss at what Ben had planned. Tobias came back in the room followed by Blake and Dwight. Ben had them set side-by-side for the next event. The doorbell rang and Ben went to the door and let Dr. Rupert. Thank you very much Mr. Ben, I have the special delivery, everything is just fine. But it will need to bond with someone. Blake you and Dwight please hold both hands out in front of you in a cupped position and close your eyes please. The boys complied and they had no idea what was about to happen. Rupert took the child who was swaddled in a blanket and placed it in both of the young Genman's hands so that they were holding the child together and then backed away. The baby made a whimpering sound in both young man's eyes flew open. Together they held the newborn which was no more than 45 minutes old. Ben spoke; the two of you have a job, he has no one in his life. His father is unknown and was human, the dad was young and abandoned him shortly after birth because of his unique genetics. What you hold in front of you is a first-generation human hybrid. This only occurs once in 1.5 million births. I could think of no one else more qualified than you Dwight to teach the youngling the aspects of being a human hybrid. Blake this also falls on you to teach him the purebloods way of life. Both young men set there gawking at the child with their mouths open. Failure to make this child thrive in a nurtured environment is not an option. The next nine months will be trying for both of you, raising him will ready the both of you for parenthood. Dwight, you have your brother Joe Junior and your mother to assist you and Blake. What's the child's name sir? The child has no name, the birthing dad would not even let him bond or nurse. He was fed neutralized nectar so that there would be no bonding until he found parents. The two of you have plenty nectar to go around. This is a great honor and responsibility; I do believe that the two of you are ready. Blake uncovered the young child's face and discovered that the boy had a head full of wavy blonde hair and blue eyes. He could be either one of ours. Were both blonde and both have blue eyes, no one would know the difference if they saw us with him. Dwight looked at his mother, mom what do we do? Son you and Blake are his parents, you have someone that depends on you now, teaching you so that you can be ready for when you both birth. I get another grandchild; you and Blake are the first ones to bring a grandchild into the family. He will be accepted no doubt by your father because he is special just like Joe Junior. And your father will never say anything about you being a disappointment or a failure. Plus, Poppy and Joseph will have a fit when they arrive. The only thing that you two young men must do is bond with the child by letting him nurse. Dwight looked it Blake, are you ready for this? I wouldn't have been ready for anything two days ago. But I know what it's like to be rejected, not to have anyone to call your parents. I'm game if you are but this is something that we will not fail at, that's not an option. Hand him to me and he can nurse on me first, I need to get in practice anyhow nine months will pass before we know it. Blake took the child and lifted his shirt no sooner than the infant got a whiff of his ripe gland he was attached and nursing. Whoa that feels weird, not a bad weird but a good weird. When he gets through with you Blake, I'm ready to commit. Failure is not an option; this child is not going to suffer any indignities. After about five minutes of nursing and Blake's right gland was dry, he handed the child to Dwight so that he would attach and bond. What shall we name him because he needs a good name? Blake if you don't mind, I've got a name that I'm thinking about but let me tell you first, and before you say no just think. I think we should name him Joseph Blake Burke, Joseph after his great grandfather Blake after his father and we will use my last name Burke. I don't have a problem with that, we just have to make sure that is placed on his birth certificate and who his parents are. You're his father, I'm his dad and his last name is Burke. Problem solved. Mother what do you think, you think grandfather will be okay with this? I do believe that your grandparents will be just fine with the name that you two have given the child. I know I am and if your father has a problem that's on him. Now I need to get a picture of the two of you holding the baby. This is the first family portrait with the first grandchild of the family and your father can just bite me when he gets it. Plus, it'll be a little bonus if we send it to your grandparents who are on their way. I will put on the text, details about the child must be related in person if you fail to come see the child in person and you have failed as a relative, that's what I want to tell your father. If that's what you think is safe mom. Joe Junior walked up and took a knee beside his brother who was holding the child as it nursed. You do know that this child is going to be very spoiled. He has plenty of uncles and several siblings on the way and cousins also. I'm sure if you grow tired and you need a babysitter you will not have a problem finding one. Thank you, Joe; but this little one needs a lot of bonding time. I will have a lot of questions for you without a doubt. Allison took several photographs, Blake and Dwight holding the child, Allison sitting between the boys holding the child herself, Joe Junior took that one. Joe Junior holding the child with Mitch, Joe Mitch Dwight and Blake together in a photo, Tobias with the new parents, Ron and Chris with the new parents and everyone together in a group shot including Sammy. Then there was one with Mr. Zach and Mr. Ben holding the child there was one with them and the new proud parents. There was a knock at the door, Tobias went to answer it and there stood Madison with a new Porta crib for the baby. Don't worry about clothing, the little one at the house is growing so fast we're changing clothes out every two weeks. So, this little one will have plenty. If you ever get tired and need a babysitter, Benjamin is always available. Blake and Dwight thanked Madison very much for the clothing and the new crib. Madison bid them goodbye and left. *************************************************************** Joe Senior's phone went off, he had just finished with the symposium and was waiting for the limo to arrive and take them back to the hotel. Terrence was busy collecting things and getting them in order for their next symposium coming up in three days. Joe looked at his phone and there were pictures attached to the message from his wife. Congratulations grandfather this one arrived first, meet our first grandson Joseph Blake Burke weighing in at 26 lbs. 3 oz. and 32 inches long born today here at the ranch. He is the first son of his adoring parents Dwight and Blake Burke; he is an adorable human hybrid. There were several photos of the baby, with his parents together and then as he nursed for the first time from both parents. Joe Senior could not believe his eyes. How could Dwight hide something like this from him his own father? Terrence; cancel the rest of the tour, give my regards to everyone but tell them we have pressing family matters that must be attended to everything will be rescheduled at a much later date. What's wrong Mr. Burke has something happened? Take a look at this last message for my wife and the pictures. It tells the whole story why my son went to the Z1. He was hiding a very precious secret, and I need to go. Please arrange transportation. You can go home and take care of your life, you have passed your class with flying colors, and accept my apologies for taking you away from Aries for so long. Excuse me Sir what you mean Aries? I may be older and I may be an asshole but I'm not blind. I saw the way you two looked at each other when we left, it's your life go live it the way that you wish to. I have been such an ignorant fool and I have so many wrongs to right. I'm trying to get you a direct connection to the Z1 Sir, it might take a few minutes but give me a chance. I'm not worried about it take your time. I need to send a message to my wife. Why don't you call her instead Sir, I'm sure that the two of you have plenty you need to talk about before you arrive. The way you left it earlier Sir it wasn't in the best of light. That's why I gave you such high marks Terrence, you are smart beyond your years. Sir that's called genetics, Genmen are inherently quick studies of certain situations and we retained so much. It's one of the perks of being a Genmen, or even a hybrid. I think I'll do just that; I'll go out and take a walk so that I can speak to my wife. Sir I can make all the arrangements you don't have to leave the room sir I will. No, you will not, I need the fresh air to clear my mind, it will do me good. Joe walked outside so he could have a little privacy and talk to his wife. He dialed her number and it began to ring. Hello; Joe what's wrong? Can I not call my wife every once in a while? Joe is everything okay because you don't sound, okay? Allison is there a place that you can go and we can talk in private over the phone, I need to talk to my wife without anyone trying to listen in on our conversation? Boys excuse me, your father is on the phone and he wants to talk to me, but he wants a private conversation so I am going to step outside. Joe Junior was the first one to speak up, is everything okay mom? You know your father; he wants me to leave the room so that we can talk together probably away from prying ears. So, I'm going to step outside. Okay mom, if you need us, you know where we're at. Allison stepped out on the porch and walked out to the swing in the yard. Okay Joe I'm outside by myself what is so important that I had to leave our family inside to speak to you. Allison, I owe you a very big apology. I really fucked up this time, I just hope that I have not done too much damage and the boys never forgive me. What did you do Joe? It's everything that I've done to you and the boys over the years. I didn't know how wrong I was until you sent me the photos. I have been more concerned about my lectures than I have my own family. You deserve all the credit for the boys growing up to be perfect gentlemen. I called off the lectures, the symposiums and canceled everything. My family is more important to me than anything and it took me missing such an important event in my children's lives. I don't know if they will never forgive me especially Dwight, it took someone here telling me that I was wrong and I need to re-examine myself and my relationship with my children. And he was right, I have done everything wrong. I am taking a private transit and it will take all night to get to where you are. I shall arrive around 6 - 7 AM. Please do not tell the boys that I'm coming, I want to surprise both of them. I saw the look that Dwight and the young man Blake that he was sitting next to holding the baby had on their faces. It was pure joy, I missed all of that, and I just hope they can forgive me. Joe there's a lot going on here that you have missed, but if you want to save your relationships with your sons, I think this is a step in the right direction. When you arrive at the front gate tell the security officer who you are and that your wife is staying in the guest cabin in section F, they will have no problem helping you find your way here after I inform them of your impending arrival. Thank you very much my dear wife, I owe you especially for keeping our family together when I have been such a fool. The car is arriving so I need to hang up and will get underway shortly. I love you Allison with all of my heart and soul. Allison clutched her phone to her chest and took a deep breath. She looked up and coming up to the front gate was Joseph and Poppy. She smiled this was going to be a blessing for them. Father Joseph did you and Poppy have a good trip? Yes, we had a very long but nice trip, so how are the boys doing? They are going to be good; it will be a long nine months but when the babies arrive, they will have had plenty of experience. Why don't you both come on inside and meet everyone there is someone else here that you will especially enjoy meeting for the first of many times. Allison what is going on now? You are not as forthcoming with information the last time we talked. That's because Poppy you will have to meet someone for yourself, and that's all I'm gonna say. Allison turned the doorknob and walked into the boy's home, Joe Junior please come to the front area and help your Poppy with his luggage. Joe Junior walked and hugged his grandparents, welcome to the Z1 this is Mitch and his roommate's home. Mine is across the ranch and is not convenient so I been bunking with Mitch for a couple of days. I suppose that you are here to meet Dwight and Blake and our special guest who is staying with them? Joe Junior what is all of this side talk going on between you and your mother; inquired Joseph. Grandfather I am not allowed to say anything but I believe it would be best if you and Poppy saw for yourself, if you please the living room is straight-ahead and to the right. Joseph and Poppy walked forward and turned to the right and took two steps into the living room and saw their grandson Dwight sitting beside a very nice-looking young man and in their lap was a bundle. It wasn't until it moved that they realized it was a baby. Dwight what do you and the other young man have laying in your laps. Dwight chuckled; Poppy I would like for you and grandfather to meet the newest addition to our family. Joseph Blake Burke your great-grandson. Joseph had to prop his mate up before he fell out. You know he won't break you can hold him if you would like to remarked Blake. But be careful he's full we just fed him a few minutes ago for his third meal. Poppy took a seat in the nearest chair and Joseph went to pick up his great-grandson and bring him over to his great granddad. Would you look at that head full of blonde curls, he is splitting image of his parents. Now what in the hell is going on here. Grandfather it's not what you think the baby is ours yes, he is bonded with both of us, he was born earlier here at the medical facility and rejected by the dad who signed a waiver of custody and left the ranch. We need practice before we welcome our biological children so Mr. Ben and the doctor presented us with the child if we would accept him. He's very special, he is a first-generation human hybrid. I named him after you and Blake because you're both very strong. So that means that both of you are still with? I'm afraid so and we are due in nine months and they will join their older brother. No one will ever tell him that he is not good enough, no one will ever put him down for what he is and that's perfect. Because if they do, somebody better pulled me off of them. Blake because he is a pureblood and is more relaxed and docile but thanks to you and mother, I have enough human in me that I will beat their asses through the pavement. I can't agree with you more, now if my son would only see it that way. He is about as stubborn as your Poppy is but I still love them both. Grandfather if my father cannot accept my children then he will have no place in their lives or in mine. I don't mean to sound cold and cruel, but I will not ever let them be controlled by someone like I was. I respect my father and I love my father I may not have always liked him but that is my mountain to climb. I know what you're talking about Dwight, I have spoken to him many times and I told him one day he would come to a point that if he didn't bend and flex, he would lose both of you boys. I just hope it's not too late. Do you see him here anywhere around here no, he's on another lecture circuit holding symposium after symposium. But is not my loss it's his. Poppy was having the time of his life with little Joseph. My gosh he's a very healthy child, he's blessed to be part of this family as we are to have him as part of our family. If you decide to tell him the circumstances of his birth that is up to you, but if you decide not to that's also your choice. We've got a little bit of time to worry about that, but I believe that we should always refer to him as our gift from the stars above. The visit went on for a while until Joseph decided that Poppy was getting tired and said that they would need to get some rest for the night. Allison agreed that it was best for everyone to get a bit of sleep. I will return early and stay with the baby so that you two young men can have some alone time. Dwight thanked his mom as did Blake. Everyone left the boys home so they could rest. ******************************************************* At 6:32am Allison's phone start to buzz alerting her with a message. Visitor at front gate security will escort him to location. Allison responded for to security bring him on to her location. Joe Senior was very impressed with what he was seeing of the Z1 ranch. He had heard rumors that it was quite expansive but he had never in his wildest dreams believe that it would be this nice of a living environment for the common Genman. The security staff was very proficient and quite well educated in protocol. This is something that you would've seen in a city dweller who had extensive education but not of the common ranches and farms that are available for Genmen to live on. They pulled up in front of the guest quarters of F section, waiting on the porch was Allison she held up a cup of coffee as he got out of the security buggy. He was about to go to the rear of the buggy and retrieve his luggage when the security staff helped up his hand. No Sir you are a guest here at the Z1, I would fail in my job if I did not prove proficient enough to retrieve your luggage and escort you to the Guest cottage to your wife Sir. Thank you, young man, here please take this tip as gratitude. The Young man looked at Joe Senior. I'm sorry I must respectfully decline your offer Sir. If the Spinelli's caught one of us accepting gratitude for doing our job we would be reassigned. They expect nothing less than excellent service out of us sir for all of the visitors here on the Z1. We are to treat them as they are a family member. I'm certainly impressed young man; this is something that has been lost in the city among the dwellers. Whether they are Genmen, Hybrids or even humans. As I have heard Sir, I was born and raised here on the Z1 my parents are here and my grandparents are here. One day I shall find a mate and settle with him to start my own family. May I inquire of you, will you breed or will you carry for another? I hope to find someone that I can truly love and we can carry for each other. If I start getting too much older, I will request to use the conception center and have an independent breeder come to the ranch and I will raise the child myself. So, you're okay raising a child alone? Sir I would rather raise a child alone than not having an heir to my genetic line. I know that's kind of old-fashioned thinking but it's what my heart desires. Don't worry young man one day you will meet the right person, and whether he's a pureblood Genman, a hybrid genman, or even a human I'm sure you will be just fine. I could not in my wildest desires hope to attract a human Sir. I'm plain and not from a good family line, I only wish to better myself. Do not sell yourself short young man, I know plenty of young human males who would gladly desire you. Here take my card and if you desire to meet one of these eligible young human bachelors' that I know, talk to the Spinelli's and give me a phone call. Thank you, sir the honor is all mine. Young man I did not get your name, may I have it please and if it would be okay take a photo of you? Yes, sir my name is Aransas and you're more than welcome to take a photo Sir. Joe Senior took a photo of the young man and listed it in his album under the name Aransas at the Z1. Allison came down the pathway with a cup of coffee to her husband and kissed him on his lips. Doing more research already Joe? Quite the contrary my dear. Maybe I can help this young man find his future. Prof. Burke, I did forget to mention I will not leave the Z1 to live anywhere else, this is my permanent home and anyone that is interested must be able to understand this. From what I can see of the place young man, you will have no problem attracting a mate that is willing to live his life here with you. Until we speak again keep your options open. Aransas placed the luggage on the front porch next to the door like he was instructed, he bid goodbye to Mr. & Mrs. Burke and went back to his security posted at the front gate. What a pleasant young man, and this place my dear is unbelievable. Now how is that grandson? Little Joseph is doing just fine, with his parents and we will see him shortly when I go to take over babysitting so that they can get a little extra sleep. This is amazing Allison; it is hard to believe that we are blessed with a beautiful child. Now what about the condition of the boys? They're okay they are recovering from their little escapade but only time will tell. I had no idea that Dwight was involved with anyone, when did he meet this young man in order to produce such a beautiful child? Joseph is a precious gift from the stars. Husband of mine please sit down on the swing and I will explain everything to you. Joe set down and listened to his wife's story as she told him about the boys and what happened and the opportunity that arose when little Joseph's biological dad rejected him because he was a human hybrid. She also explained to him how the Spinelli's especially Ben was instrumental in securing a loving home for such a special child. Joe was overcome with emotions; he could not believe what his ears heard about his sons and their prospective mates. He looked at his watch and it was nearing 7:00 AM, do you think that we could go see our grandson now? I believe that you've earned that much, but when Dwight says something that you do not agree with, do not contradict him. Just accept it. I have been such a fool, rather than risking losing my sons or the ability to see my grandchildren I had to wake up. And this was my wake-up call, I do not intend to miss one moment with my family ever again. Well Joe, what happens when you have another lecture circuit or symposium to give about the aspects of Genmen life and what should be expected of them as lesser life forms. I'll have a lot of humble pie to eat. I can tell you I will be changing my previous Outlook. Allison and her husband left the Guest cottage where her in-laws were asleep and headed to the boy's cottage, so she could sneak her husband inside there he could meet his first grandson. Joe Senior was very nervous and even a little terrified as he and his wife walked up to the boy's house. He felt like hurling everything he had in his body. Allison sensed the nervousness in her husband and took his hand and patted it, you'll do just fine. We'll go inside, I'll put you in the living room and go get the baby don't make a sound as it still early and folks have the day off so no one's, stir. Joe sat on the sofa waiting for his wife to return, every little sound scared him shitless. Allison returned with little Joseph wrapped up in his blank and handed him to his grandfather and took a seat beside her husband. Joe couldn't get over how much the little boy looked like Dwight and Joe Junior when they were little. He was such a strong young man; he could not ever make the mistakes with this little boy that he made with his own. Allison was amazed at her husband and the attention that he showed his first grandchild. Something in her husband had woken up and he was a better man for it. As Joe was giving his full attention to little Joseph, he nor Allison noticed Tobias walking up with the tray with coffee cups and a fresh bottle for the baby. Tobias whispered; I don't want to startle you but I have coffee and a bottle for the little one. He's going to get fussy and wake up the whole house if we are not careful. Allison was a little embarrassed. Tobias, she whispered; someone wanted to visit with his grandson before they woke up in case there was ill feelings and things did not go good between the parents and him. I know I'm taking a chance sneaking Joe Senior in but a mother will do what I mother has to for her children. Don't worry Ms. Burke; I'm sure that Dwight and Blake will be okay with this little bit of bonding time. It seems that someone has captured someone's heart already. Joe looked up at the young genman who was prominently showing his pregnancy. Looks like you have a young one on the way also young man. Yes sir; whether I agreed to it or not, this little one is getting bigger and bigger. And just let you know right now the father is no were in our lives, he was a human that is no more. I know exactly what happened. You do not have to hide it from me, you made every news channel there was even with all of the censorship by the government your story still got out. You have more friends than you will ever know that were rooting for the safe return of you and the others. I've never heard this, and Mr. Zach and Mr. Ben always let us know everything here at the Z1. I read the underground papers thanks to my undergrad student and watch the news reports on the underground channels as well when I'm on tour. I doubt they get this far out but they're well-known in the city. You are a hero and the inspiration to all young genman who find themselves in a precarious situation of being impregnated by one, that you're not with. Joseph started to fuss he did not want the bottle; it was neutralized and did not have taste. It might have been nutritious, but the little tyke wanted tastefulness. Joe Senior sensed this and lifted his shirt to expose his left nectar gland. Little Joseph didn't even think about it, he just latched on and started to nurse from his grandfather's gland. It has been a while since you did that my husband. I know and that's one thing I really missed out on. When you were running low, I fed the boys so that they would get the nutritional value that every young hybrid in Genman needs. Dwight came stumbling around the corner. I'm sorry mother I heard the baby crying and I know that he does not like the bottle he's, Dwight stopped in mid-sentence when he looked up and saw his father sitting on the sofa feeding little Joseph. Father you're here? And where else would I be at young man; my family needs me and it is my duty to be ready for my family. Especially my grandson who is very hungry. I'm sorry father responded Dwight. Sorry for what, being a natural Genmen. Being an awesome parent to my first grandchild? I am the one that's sorry for treating you and your brother the way I did all of these years. I denied something in myself therefore I took it out upon both of you boys I just hope that you can forgive me. Dwight stood there gawking at his father. Or at least he thought this man was his father, he looked like him and sounded like him or at least his voice did but not the words coming out of his mouth. Close your mouth Dwight and have a seat remarked Allison. I'll need to go wake up the rest of the house so that your father can explain himself. No rush mom, just let him enjoy himself and his grandbaby. I need a cup of coffee, a strong cup of coffee. As long as I'm nursing why don't you go ahead and take mine from the tray, your roommate was very gracious enough to make your mother and I a cup of coffee when he brought the baby's bottle. Dwight did not have to be asked or told twice, he picked up the cup of coffee and turned it straight up one big gulp. Tobias; can you bring the pot we are going to need it please. Father there's a few things you need to know about, first about little Joseph and then there's the situation between Blake and myself. Dwight; you forget I have a Genman's nose, I can tell everything about you and the child. And I could not be happier, no matter what I have said in the past this is the way that it was supposed to be. I just can't wait to the others arrive that way I have more grandchildren to spoil. Blake came walking into the living room only and lounge pants, is it my nipple duty yet, he questioned. He automatically tried to cover himself when he realized that his mother-in-law was on the sofa along with a strange man. Good morning son the man responded; I think as his grandfather I have this session covered but you might want to cover yourself in front of your mother-in-law. Not that the Genmen physique that you present is not appealing but your glands are severely engorged. They would be very appetizing to a mate or a child who is in need of a meal but not around your mother-in-law. Blake turned red in the face and went back to the bedroom really quick. Dwight why don't you go help him, and tell him that I was not insulted at all. It's just natural for a pregnant Genmen especially a pureblood to be like he is, unashamed of his body. And I might say you got yourself one with a very good body. Dwight blushed and left the room. I am impressed husband, you handled that very eloquently. The boy's bodies do not embarrass me one bit and in fact them feeding the child out in the open does not bother me either it is natural for Genmen. They don't have the false modesty that humans have. No, they do not and that's one thing I had forgotten, with all of my training and my education in human ways, we were encouraged to cover ourselves even in the homes. There are a few things that I need to talk to the boys about today, it's father and son if you don't mind not that I don't want you to hear everything is just some things are passed from father to son. I understand Joe, I might have been born a human but I have lived around genman and been sleeping with a hybrid genman long enough that I know these things too. You are one in a million Allison; I just hope that I can live up to your standards forever. Joe's phone started to beep, that meant it was from the University staff database. He let out a sigh. Who's calling you Joe? It's a university prefix Allision, so it could be anyone. But this is family time and they can go to hell. Joe's phone was going off constantly even though he hit ignore. Father, you can answer it incase it's important. No Dwight, like I said; it's family time and they can kiss my ass and go to hell. I've always let them interfere in my family life but no more. Dwight was surprised at his father's attitude. Joe's phone started to ring, but Joe knew this ring. It's your Uncle Artemis should I answer it, Dwight? You know he will have a million questions. By all means and tell him the truth, I have nothing to hide or be ashamed of. Joe pushed the answer button on his phone. Hello Artemis what's up? Well Joe it's about damned time you picked up your phone, I've been trying to call you for the last 30 damn minutes. Okay so I didn't pick up my phone, what's the big deal? Excuse me what is the big deal Joe Burke cancels all of his lectures and symposiums and takes off to who knows where without a word other than they inner office communication. I thought I made it perfectly clear that I had family business to attend and I would return at a later date. Joe, you have never had family business to deal with and left your lecture circuit before this is so out of character what the hell is going on? This is not one of the University numb nuts that you're talking to this is your best friend Artemis Harris. I went to your home no one's there. I went to your parents' home no one is there and not anyone around you knows anything about what's going on. So, spill the beans our do I have to have you tracked down? Okay Artemis you caught me, I'm not where you would think I'm at. Are you being coy, are you not gonna tell me anything? Okay, these two photographs that I'm going to text to you are for your eyes only no one else. Do not breathe a word to anyone. After you see the photos then I will try to answer some questions. I don't know what's going on first thing Dwight was missing and Allison left your home without a word of where she was going. Joe; I've known you for years and you've never been a responsible a you know how well I know you. Okay I'm going to send you the first photograph now and give you a minute to study that one and I'll send you another one. Please keep my family's private matters to yourself do not let it slip. What the hell is going on Joe you're being so secretive? A notification sounded on Artemis's phone. He opened the file. There was a dead silence. Joe what the fuck is going on, what is this photo all about? Well first all there's Dwight and Blake and they're holding Joseph Blake Burke born yesterday 26 lbs. 3 oz. and 32 inches long to his parents Dwight and Blake Burke. Great uncle Artemis meet your great nephew and our first grandson. The notification went off again on Artemis's phone and up popped a photo collage with Joe Senior and Allison holding the grandson, the new parents and the grandparents together and a few more assorted photographs of the family. Joe how in the hell is this possible? I don't understand. The proof is in the photos and that's all that I will say. When you get some time off from work, we will all get together and visit the boys. Time off that's not a problem I been suspended again. First of all, I did not get tenure once again and my belief that Genmen are inherently intelligent and dumb themselves down to fit in human society went over like a lead brick with the Board of Regents. This university does not deserve a linguistics professor at all much less interpretive languages. And it could have been because I told the Dean he could take his desk and shove it where the sun will never shine. Why in the hell did they not give you tenure? They said I'm too controversial and my studies are just conjecture no matter what proof I show them they do not want to recognize a fully functional language and syntax that predates humankind. But the reason I called you was I was worried about you; I still don't understand what's going on or where the two of you are at, but you have my respect for the family matter. Dwight motioned for his father to please give him the telephone which he complied. Uncle Artemis, since you're on suspension there's no reason you can't come and see the baby. Plus, there's a whole lot more you need to know about the situation. Would you consider riding a transit out to where we're at? To see you, and that beautiful little boy I travel to the distant stars. I've always loved you boys more than anything else. I was always a little jealous of my best friend who found the perfect girl who had the perfect family and now it seems he's getting it once again. Let me talk to a couple people and asked them for permission for a visitor and you will be getting another call back from us. Dwight if it's going to get you in trouble wherever you're at don't do it, but I would love to see you and I need to meet this young man that is in the picture with you. He must be some kind of guy. You do not know how special he is, and I believe it'll be okay. Here's father back. Dwight handed the communications phone back to his father. Artemis not a word to anyone that you're going out of town once you receive the information. I don't want anyone to know where I'm at, I'll probably informed Terrence in a couple of days. About Terrence we need to talk, he was caught with a young man in the locker room and they were kissing. He has been suspended without grades; it will cost him his degree Joe. The other young man got away with a slap on the wrist because they know they can't win a championship without him and his father is quite important. Artemis say no more until we speak in person my friend. Coming Soon P-124 CGW© Please Help Keep the Archive Free for everyone to enjoy make a Tax-Deductible Donation.
