Date: Sun, 29 Oct 2023 19:02:59 +0000 (UTC) From: cgf2662 Subject: The Z-1 Ranch P-134 The Z-1 Ranch P-134 CGW© Erickson looked at the young man as he attempted to eat while sitting on the floor, he decided to try something. You I believe your name is Dalton? Dalton looked up at his controller, yes Sir you are correct he answered. Standup and pick up your dish, now put it here at the table and have a seat. Dalton was a little apprehensive at his commands but he was decidedly trying to follow them. He placed his bowl upon the table and took a seat, he didn't start eating he just looked at his controller as he was asking permission to begin to eat with just a simple acknowledgment. Go ahead you have my approval and permission to begin to consume your food once again. Might I request a utensil to eat with or shall I continue to eat like an animal with my hand Sir? Where are my manners, I will get you a utensil to consume your meal. Not knowing the human's immediate reaction, he walked to the cabinet and removed a disposable spoon and set it up on the table next to the bowl. This shall do for you Dalton until we know each other better. Might I request your name or shall I just call you Sir? In private my name is Erickson but in public you shall address me always as Sir or you will be disciplined do I make myself perfectly clear? Yes; Sir I fully understand you. The two of them set in consume their meal when Dalton had finished, he sat at the table without moving waiting for Erickson to finish his. Erickson had completed consuming his meal and looked up from his plate when Dalton inquired, would you like for me to remove the dirty dishes and wash them Sir? That would be an adequate repayment for the meal that you consumed. Dalton slowly rose from his seated position picked up his dish along with Erickson minus the silverware that Erickson had used. Sir I did not remove your silverware because I did not want you to mistake anything as an act of aggression or manipulation by me. I realize I am here to learn and I don't want to overstep my bounds. Good Dalton you have done very good. Please pick up the silverware and wash all of it and put it in the drainer. Don't worry I will know if you take anything, when you are completed with your assignment, please go to the living room and sit on the sofa until I come in the room and then stand for inspection. Erickson stood up from the table and walked away he had a few things he needed to finish up. Genman do not wear glasses because they have perfect eyesight, the pair that Erickson had on were fitted with tiny little display screens that could only be seen by the person who was wearing them. The entire home was one giant surveillance camera only Erickson could see them, not even the Spinelli's or the Z1 had access to his home. He had designed the entire system himself. After little while Erickson walked into the room where Dalton was seated on the sofa and he cleared his throat. Dalton stood up and took a step away from the couch, Erickson walked up toward him and inspect him as he walked around the young man. He did something that was totally out of character for a human but yet very Genman, he ran his fingertip down the young man's back from the center of his neck all the way to the top of his hips and back. Over the next few weeks everything had been going fairly well, Dalton was adjusting to life within the confines of the Z1. He was allowed to go outside in the yard to do yard maintenance he wore a pair shoes, a pair of jogging style shorts and an athletic style sleeveless shirt. While in the confines of the Z1 he wore a short sleeve shirt that was skintight and a pair of exercise pants ones that didn't bind but they also showed off everything that he had to offer. It was a little embarrassing for Dalton some of the looks that he received from single Genmen and some that were with their mates. Erickson had shown him around and introduced him to several mixed couples, even some couples that contained a male Genmen and female human who were bonded. Every aspect of daily life was thoroughly ingrained into Dalton's memory. Dalton never spoke to anyone unless he had permission from Erickson to conversate. It was early and Erickson watched Dalton as he slept contently. Have I done something wrong inquired Dalton as he laid there with his eyes closed? No absolutely not replied Erickson, sometimes I like to look upon my subjects and try to find out what is going on in their minds. Why would you think that you did anything wrong? Well, it's like this with humans especially young ones like myself we have a tendency to wake up in the morning with a special condition. You mean the erect member that you have between your legs? Yeah; I hope I don't embarrass you by the way you find me in the morning. I'm not embarrassed by you; in fact, I think your very appealing. And if I was going out for a mate, I would pursue you in the hopes of being impregnated so that I could carry. You think I'm appealing even with my past record? The young males with a high sex drive no matter if their hybrid, pureblood or humans have a tendency to overstep their bounds and sometimes he gets them in trouble. Just like yours got you in trouble. I guess I'll never get past that, I cannot believe I even attempted but something was so strong it felt like it was pulling me to do that. You have to watch out for that kind of Genmen even when they're pubescent they have a tendency to attract older males with her scent. But how were you to know you were not trained in the Genmen educational world. I might not have been but from what I'm learning in class it's a whole new world out here. What if you have my permission to get off of your pallet and sleep here in this bed with me Dalton? I would respectfully refuse the offer, because I don't want to do anything to screw up my reeducation chance. And if I gave you direct order to sleep in this bed with me, what would you tell me? Once again, I would have to deny myself the offer because I'm not sure that it was made in earnest and do not wish to cause any infraction that would be punishment phase. Erickson smiled the young man had learned and was of good moral character deep down. He asked for Dalton to stand up for a second which he did. Erickson slid to the side of the bed stood up took two steps toward Dalton and kissed him upon his lips. Not any kind of peck on the lips but a full-blown deep sensual kiss. Dalton's legs buckled beneath him when he was kissed by Erickson. He didn't expect this but yet he did not find it repulsive it either. Erickson looked at Dalton and smiled; bet you didn't expect that now did you? No Sir; what was that about if I may inquire? You may, and that was about us. I will not force you and I will not coerce you, but if you decide that this is your way for life, I will be here for you. I thought that you didn't get involved with any subjects or anyone for that matter? Normally no I would not, but I have decided it is time to take a mate, and you would be the mate if you accept. Dalton took a deep breath, what was Erickson saying and why was he acting like this? Excuse me what did you say? I didn't stutter, I said if you wish we could become a bonded pair. May I sit on the bed beside you so I can think about this offer you have made to me? Yes, you may Dalton, it's a big step for both of us. You have to understand that Genmen like myself who were very discriminating when choosing a mate will not just hook up with anyone because it's our time or even our age. We will try our best to find a mate who is appealing to us, I don't mean because of physical attributes or anything else I mean someone that we sense through pheromones is a good mate and will throw good offspring with us. I have sensed this in you, I denied myself in the beginning but I've seen you with others here on the ranch and whether you realize it or not you are a chosen one. How can I be a chosen one, after what I did or attempted to do? As I said you are pre-dispositioned, you didn't realize what you were doing but you were attracted to the young man because of what he was, not who he was. Was your advance repealed because he did not find you attractive, yes it was but, in another situation, he might have accepted you. But I'm glad he didn't. Will this violate any rule here that you have to follow regarding me since I am here for re-education and you are my conservator? Now you have grown, thinking of someone other than yourself. A few weeks ago, or even a month ago you had no care for anyone other than what you wished, but things change and people grow. Even humans can learn. Dalton initiated the first move; he leaned over and kissed Erickson on his lips. He had never noticed how deep his pale blue eyes really were. You have the most beautiful eyes of anyone I have ever seen, they Almost sparkle their so bright. That's because you bring the best out in me, when a Genman is near a mate that is acceptable, eyes change they Almost become sparkly. Our skin becomes a little flush and our bodies react by producing extra moisture in certain areas. You mean you get all hot and bothered and wet? If you need to get technical in the human way, yes you make me hot and my vent is so wet right now it's dripping on my bed covers. Well, I guess that we might need to do something about this, can't have you dripping around others and attracting the wrong kind of attention when we're out in public. Dalton stood up and extended a hand out towards Erickson so that he would stand up also. Erickson stood there and looked at his future. Dalton slid off Erickson's robe so that he was totally naked in front of him, he slowly walked around his future mate, he smelled so good. Dalton walked back in front of Erickson and dropped his trainers. Both young men stood totally naked in front of each other surveying their futures together. Would you please be gentle with me, it is the first time that anyone has touched me in my special place, requested Erickson. I would never hurt you, to do so would be a violation of your trust and I will never violate your trust. I can't believe that my future standing directly in front of me and making themselves available for the first of many times. I hope you like babies because I'm going to make one with you as often as possibly, if you want one will only have one if you want the whole house full and will have a whole house full. The choice is yours, but I Dalton Carrington Meyer will be beside you until the end of our lifespan, I make this commitment and pledge to you for eternity Erickson Carrington Meyer, I take you today and forever as my mate. I want this written down so that no one can come between us. I guess I need to call the main office and request a meeting for us with the Spinelli's. They will not say no but they will question our sincerity Dalton, since you are my charge and I wasn't supposed to let this happen. Erickson you cannot stop something that is inevitable, and let no one put us under nor get between us. I want this to be proper before we take the next step to our future. I think I need to call Mr. Tim, he's no longer on leave since having the baby and maybe his situation has calmed and he will listen to me reasonably. By all means and we shall have a meeting with him, I will state my case as you will yours and it will be the end of it. Erickson picked up his communicator and dialed the main offices extension. It rang and someone answered. This is Erickson I need to speak to Mr. Tim please. There were a few clicks and then Tim's voice came upon the communicator. Yes, Erickson this is Tim how may assist you this morning? Erickson's voice was a little crackly; Mr. Tim I need to meet with you in the office as soon as possible Sir it is pertaining to my charge Sir. Everything okay; he hasn't done anything out of line has he? No Sir he has not done anything out of alignment, but we do need to discuss a certain matter that has arisen and it's time sensitive Sir. We have an open slot in about 30 minutes if you can come here, we can send someone to watch over your charge while you're here in the meeting if needed. No Sir; that will not be a problem Sir, he will be there with us during the meeting Sir. Thank you very much for allowing us to meet with you Sir goodbye. Luther looked at his younger brother with a questionable look upon his face. What in the hell was all that about and since when is Erickson so damn apologetic? About that time Tim and Luther both looked at each other and said; holy fucking damn Erickson has chosen. Luther that has to be wrong, I mean the charge is nice-looking and well-built but Erickson doesn't play coy, he does not to get involved with his charges. Little brother; you ever thought that maybe just maybe the two are compatible? You know it's not out of the realm of possibility. You think we need to get father over here and let him know what's going on? No; absolutely not this is why we run the Z1 together to make informed decisions. Plus, if this is the situation, we need to be trusted that we will make the proper decision for Erickson and his charge. Erickson looked at Dalton and realized it was now or never, if he was truly sincere, he would take no action and he would make no attempt to escape if his control devices were removed. He walked up to Dalton and placed his hands upon the neck banding and Deactivated and removed the item at the same time the rectal control device disengaged and slipped out. What did you do that for, do not need this on to walk across the compound? We do not need to get into trouble if I am seen without them? These are no longer needed; besides they have been turned off for the last week. You could've left any time but you chose not to. And you're not concerned that I might make a break for it now? Now I'm not, I feel deeply that you are sincere in what you have said and you would never break the bonds that we have made between us. Dalton reached over and pulled Erickson towards him and kissed him passionately. I will never ever do anything to violate your trust in me. It is my job to watch over and defend my mate against all other intruders. Now let's go after we dress. Dalton then Erickson left their home and walked towards the main office, Dalton reached over and took Erickson's hand in his and smiled. We shall walk as a bonded pair from now on, what we do at the front office is a mere technicality because we are now one with each other. Erickson smiled and affirmed his grip with Dalton's hand, he looked around with pride that he had his mate beside him. The two went on over and were shown in to the office. Both brothers were behind their desks and they looked at the two as they walked in together hand-in-hand. Tim glanced at Luther and Luther at him they both smiled. Tim spoke; and what business do you have with this office of the Z1 today? Dalton was the first to speak; Sir we come here today to officially request that the two of us be allowed to be a bonded pair, so that we may mate and become one with the children that we shall produce. Tim looked at the young man then looked back at Erickson; is this the truth Erickson have you and this human become one as of yet? Erickson's voice was a little reserved, we respectfully ask for your permission so that it can be entered into the record as fact Sir. We have exchanged our own wording but we would like to make it official with the office of the Z1. I enter into this with clear conscience and without regret. He has given me his name so that all others shall know never to trespass where they are not desired. From this day forward I will be known as Erickson Carrington Meyer mate to Dalton Meyer. Dalton Meyer step forward announced Luther. You have not been here that long to know our customs, but it seems that you have found another. If you are challenged, how will you defend your mate? With my very being and my life Sir, I will protect Erickson until the end of our times. And if we deny you permission to bond with this pureblood Genman, what will you do. I will respect your authority Sir, though I may not agree with it and I will pine forever I will not disrespect Erickson by making him an outcast from his home. This was not planned; this is something that occurred because to people who belong together found each other. What Dalton and Erickson did not know is that they were being monitored on close circuit video conferencing. Mr. Zach and Ben were monitoring the situation as were Dalton's parents Justin and Gloria Carrington Meyer. Nothing was being done underhandedly it was all recorded for prosperity and records. Would you two please step to the outer office, we must confer to make the proper decision either to allow or deny this bonding announced Tim. Dalton and Erickson walked out of the office holding hands, they set up on the sofa out in the front area but they were being monitored. They tried to hold in their emotions but Dalton wrapped his arm around Erickson and held him tightly against him, brushing away a tear and gently kissing him on his cheek. Both display monitors turned, Mr. Zach and Mr. Ben you have seen their pleas as well as you the parents of Dalton Myers, Mr. Justin and Mrs. Gloria Carrington Meyer how so you say it? Is this bonding to be allowed or shall it be denied to the both of them? Justin was the first one to speak, I wasn't fully on board when my wife suggested the program. But this is not the same young man that left this home, he has grown and matured in wisdom beyond his years. If my son has chosen such a fine upstanding Genmen as this Erickson appears to be, whom I to deny them a lifetime of happiness. Gloria was the next one to make a comment, I have no objection I can see in my sons face and his general actions that he has found someone for him for his lifetime. Ben in his caring way spoke, Genman do not express emotion unless they have truly found their life long mate. The way that the two of them act and especially Erickson's body language speaks for itself. He is not a fool and has good moral character, if he has chosen Dalton Meyer and accepted his name then who are we to deny these two young people their future. But I will say that the continued education of Dalton shall take place. Erickson is still a conservator because that is his chosen profession but the two of them are allowed to be one and the same. Zach cleared his throat; I could not have spoken any truer words. When a Genman and a human bond such as the way that these two have no one shall ever get in their way and survive very long. I approve their choice for one another. Tim you and Luther deliver the news to the new couple about their status here at the Z1. When Dalton requests for his parents, they will be brought here to the Z1 for a visit. The screens went back up so that Dalton nor Erickson would know the difference. They were asked to return to the office for the final determination. Erickson and Dalton returned, they were both very nervous and holding onto each other's hand very firmly. Tim spoke; Dalton Meyer you have not been with us very long and the reason for you to come here was not the most honored one. Dalton cringed he knew what was coming. But you have made your case and we have conferred with authorities about the possibility of the two of you becoming a bonded and mated pair and we are now ready to render our decision. Luther, would you like to make the announcement Sir? In the case of Dalton Myer, human and Erickson pureblood Genmen we find that from this day forth they shall be known as Dalton and Erickson Carrington Meyer a bonded pair let no one interfere in this bonding least they suffer the consequences announced Luther. Dalton turned to Erickson and kissed him fully on the lips without any shame in front of everyone on the campus. Yes, it was broadcast to the entire Z1 ranch circuit so that everyone would know not to interfere between the two of them. ****************************************** One month later; Erikson was walking across the Promenade when he ran into Mr. Tim. Good morning and how is the newlywed and his new mate doing? We're doing perfect Mr. Tim; Dalton is enjoying his classes and according to the instructors he's within the top 2% of is classmates. Okay but how are the two of you doing? Fabulous in fact we couldn't be better, just got back from the doctor he said everything is fine, the twins are doing great and growing fast. Dalton hopes to be able to get a job as soon as he graduates here at the Z1 more fitting to his degree. Until then he works at the warehouse on his off time from school and home. I am keeping busy around the house just like the Dr. told me too, since it's my first carry he doesn't want me to get too tired because it's twins, even though they are hybrid they are still twins. Are you happy with your situation? That I am, I knew there was something different when we first met, but then I knew it later for sure he is the one my forever. Mr. and Mrs. Meyer had been up to visit and are very happy with the news that it's twins. His younger brother Jason still feels betrayed by Dalton and it will take time for that wound to heal. But I'm sure he will come around after the babies are born, if not it's his loss. I understand that the Myers are considering sponsoring a younger one from the collective? Yes, they are looking into the situation of becoming sponsor parents for a youngling. They have become very attached to John Matthew and Stefan; they feel that they have what it takes to give another child even if he's not of the same race. I think maybe a youngling will help bond the brothers, it will take time but Dalton and I have spoken at length and he knows what he did was totally wrong and out of line but he has a high sex drive and that was his downfall. One may never forget but sometimes they can forgive past indiscretions. Well Erickson I hope that you are correct and the two brothers can put their lives back together. I really do need to get to my exercise and feeding class Mr. Tim, if I am late Titan will give me hell. Tell Titan to be a little forgiving since you were with Mr. Tim. I'm sure he will understand it. Thank you Mr. Tim I'll talk to you later. Tim headed over to the factory to check up on Ted and Ted Jr. when Tim arrived, he didn't say much he just observed a very proud father taking care of his young. Ted had the baby in one arm and was letting him take a bottle as he did some final corrections on a blueprint with his free hand. He was the perfect father in all aspects. Tim spoke; you do know if you need any help, Mason and I can help you at any time with Ted Junior. Ted looked up and smiled, I do realize that but I wouldn't trade this time in his life for anything it's too precious. May I take our son for a few minutes so that you can finish that blueprint that you're working on inquired Tim? If you wish, it's not necessary but I appreciate all the help that I can get it at times. Besides we really need to talk about Timothy Benjamin and how big of a little shit he's being lately. Is he causing you any problems because of he is, he's going to have hell to pay. No this is one for the record books we need to sit down and discuss. He and I are finished and I have let him know in any uncertain terms that we are over. He's gone rogue and you need to know. Am I going to be disappointed or pissed? I would say enraged and pissed-off to the Max, because you were in the final stages of the pregnancy, nobody wanted to get you upset but now it's time. Okay let me have a seat and take the little one and I can feed him because I need some relief I'm swollen to the Max. Okay but you don't get to upset while you're holding the baby, do you understand me right now? So, it must be bad. Ted handed the baby to Tim and he set down and began to feed Ted Junior. Let me figure out where to begin. He's been acting up and acting out and spending a lot of time in the Township it's certain locations not fitting for someone of his upbringing. You know there's a couple of seedy places where wild Genmen go to get certain wanted needs satisfied. And there's even more, that I have been made aware of. How do you know that this is correct and not just someone with an ax to grind? One of my workers who is out of the Township was approached by Timothy and offered his goodies. He attempted to get him out of the area and bring him home but Timothy got mad and punched the worker. He felt shamed and dishonored for the entire Z1 ranch and especially the Spinelli family over the actions of your son. Tim took a deep breath, exactly what actions? They run a train on him, and that was just the beginning. When he had had sex with everyone at that location he went to the next even worse establishment and let all of them have their way with him. And this has been happening quite often almost nightly. That's not the worst of it. So, my son is bending over and offering his body to any and every one at these establishments in the community? Precisely and he is even gone into the city and done even more shameful things. How shameful are we talking about? He's been dancing at clubs and has even made a Genporn flick. Total rebellion against every moral being that he was raised with. So, you're telling me that my son has made a movie for everyone to see him being used by individuals in a physical way? Yes, he has and I did look it up and the young man that reported to me was correct. It's the nastiest and most perverted Genporn I have ever viewed. I did not view it long but what I saw was revolting, he is down a dark path. So, I guess we have to raise the little one, that he is carrying now also because it doesn't sound like protection was used. According to the worker he went to one of the clinics in the city and was fitted with a blocking device so that a pregnancy would not occur. You know the kind that are outlawed that were designed by the consortium ones that were so dangerous that they usually ended up in sterilization of the Genman that they were installed within. His father will kill him you know that, Ed Hawthorne will kill his son if I don't do it first. My parents are going to be equally outraged; Ted I need help. I don't know what I can do, I have attempted to speak to him and he tells me that we are not anything that I have decided to go a different path and I am not a part of his life. I'll put a surveillance tracker on him. He will not know anything about it but I'll track his movements. And when I get ready a security team from the Z1 will take possession of Timothy. You do realize he will hate you forever, in at the first chance he will bolt and you will never see him again. I'll call the medical department and I'll speak to Dr. Wooten about bringing him in for a medical update and a new inoculation where he won't even realize that he is had a tracker installed. I know he trusts Rupert and Dr. Stirling also so we will do a three-point approach. I love my son, I may not always like him but I love him and I as a dad will protect him whether he wants to be protected or not. Personally, I would like to knock his dumbass out but I think I will speak to his brother and find out what I can about things are going on if he has any knowledge. Tim picked up his communicator and dialed his son's extension it rang four times before Eddie picked it up. Hey dad how's it going responded Eddie? It's going well today I'm just over here taking care of Ted Junior and thought I would call one of my other sons to see how his life is going? It's going well, studies are going very well but I suppose this isn't what you called me. There's a certain amount of concern in your voice. So, what do you want to know? Have you spoken to your twin brother? You haven't heard? Haven't heard what, after giving birth to the baby I've taken some time off, I just put myself back into work and relaxing as much as possible? Timothy and I are on the outs, we got into an argument and then a physical altercation which led up to a major blowout. Dad; I'm telling you this in confidence please do not let father know anything about the disagreement. Does this have anything to do with your brother's extracurricular activities or even his acting career? Oh, holy shit. I know about the extracurricular activities because that's what we fought about and I've heard something later about a video but I have not seen it as of yet, none of my friends will give me the link out of respect. I have not seen the video as of yet either and Ted doesn't want me to see it because I would be to upset. But if your grandparents or even his father gets wind of this, I fear for him. I know you boys are young adults and you will test the waters and boundaries of what is decent and proper but I still love both of you no matter what because I'm your dad and that's my job. Monica had a suggestion, maybe you and he could meet in a neutral location. Make it a boy's day out at a nicer restaurant in the city. Is there possibility that you and Carter could come together on this without father knowing about it. I fear for his health if he finds out because he's under a lot of stress with everything going on. Eddie, I believe that you have a very good idea and Ted is here shaking his head in agreement so I think I shall get a hold of Carter and set up a luncheon engagement with Timothy. Okay dad just be mindful that Timothy is on guard at all times so don't try anything that grandfather Zach might pull, granddad Ben would probably have the boy fitted with a tracking device so he could track his every move but I think that would be a disaster, so don't go there either. That was my first course of action so I won't do that now. Well, I better let you go so I can set up a location with Carter. Ted this is exhausting, raising children after they been raised is very exhausting. A parent's job is never done no matter how old they get, now I know what my folks mean when they say they never quit worrying. Tim dialed Carter's number and waited for the Trilling of the ring. Good morning, Tim how are we doing today, have you recovered from your latest adventure that you had at Constantine's? Yes, I'm fully recovered and doing good, but that's not why I called to talk to you. Are you alone or is someone there with you? I'm alone Ed isn't here right now what's the matter? I need to talk to you about Timothy Benjamin. Okay what has he done now? His father had a little conversation with him a few weeks ago about his attitude but it only seemed to make things worse, because you know Ed has to dominate the conversation. Tim and Ted explained everything to Carter about Timothy's adventures. Carter had to agree with Tim and Ted's assessment of the situation that Ed needed to be nowhere near this as the grandparents. His dads would take care of this. Carter volunteered to make the arrangements at an exclusive private restaurant. Where they in for a shock. It took almost a week before Timothy could find time in his busy schedule to fit a luncheon in with his dad, he knew nothing about Carter being there. They were sitting there at the table when the maître d' came across the floor with a person following him. Carter took a deep breath as did Tim when they saw Timothy. His hair was every color of the cosmos, his face was painted in four different colors with heavy mascara in different shades and bright red lipstick. He looked like a walking Picasso as for the matter of his dress it was even more shocking. 6" Spike Heels, fishnet stockings and a skin tight black leather ensemble. His fingernails were all painted with every imaginable color. Hello dad spoke Timothy, good morning daddy Carter. I didn't realize that you would both be here. Carter smiled good morning, Timothy please have a seat it's been a while since we have seen each other and I wish it would be more often. It would be if your husband wouldn't rag on me all the time, I mean father. Tim spoke; we didn't come here to discuss your father at all, this is a meeting between you and your dad's. We want to make sure that you are fine and that you are doing well in life and safe. All this that you assembled yourself into for shock value doesn't bother me in the least. I find it quite inventive and imaginable; I don't know how you pulled off walking in those hills but oh well better for you. Those would kill my feet. Carter had to snicker a little bit in agreement. So, while we're waiting what can we preorder as an appetizer. Timothy responded; oh, a dinner and a show y'all get it all. Tim looked at his son, no I skipped breakfast I'm starving it has nothing to do with the show and tell, it's dinner nothing else I'm starving. Would you like to know about your little brother and how he is doing? I have pictures for you since you have blocked me from your communicator, I can't share in it his progression with you. Ted sends his best to you and just let you know Mason is pregnant again. It was not planned; it was a total accident it was towards the last of my pregnancy and we didn't think about using protection because he wasn't in cycle but according to Dr. Wooten the enhanced hormones on my level and me being a hybrid it was meant to be. I guess you heard about the fight? I heard that you and your brother had a disagreement and a scuffle, but other than that he would not elaborate on anything, he said it was your business to tell us. That's the first time Eddie isn't interfering in my life. I guess you have Monica to thank for that, she's a grounding force in his flawed character. Carter responded; flawed hell, he acts just like his father. He came by it naturally; poor child didn't have a choice. Well not to shock you, he caught me in bed with four guys at the same time we were having a around the world when he walked in. Needless to say, it broke up after he started screaming obscenities at everyone demanding that they leave. Carter looked at Tim, well we know what happened between the boys now, somebody was getting some and somebody was jealous. Monica keeps him on a tight leash and doesn't let him stray. But that's normal for a female human to do, it goes against every grain of Genmen biology. I had my wild times too before Ed. Timothy looked at Carter, you were wild "sure". I could tell you stories that would make you sick, but that was another lifetime before I met Ed Hawthorn and started my life again. Bet you didn't do a skin flick. Nope; I did a whole damned series that cost Ed a lot of money to squish them. But a person will do that for someone you love, with all of your heart and soul. Your father isn't squeaky clean either, but that's not for me to tell you about. How do you think we first met? Really? Yes, we're not perfect, but we learned from our past mistakes. Timothy was blown away at what he was hearing. ************************* Stephanie was sitting at her desk and she looked up, Ted can you come here for second please? Ted Wallace walked into the outer office to see what Stephanie needed at her desk. Yeah, what's up what you need today? I need you to call the clinic and tell them to get ready. And while you're at it tell Blake to get his ass over there right now. Excuse me why would he need to go the clinic, and what's up. About that time, he noticed the floor was wet underneath her chair, her water had broken. But why Blake your neighbor? Are you okay? And what's Blake got to do with everything? About that time, it dawned on him who the father was it was young Blake. Oh, shit your time, and Blake is the father, young Blake up on the tall iron? Yes, and don't worry about it, it was just a one-time deal we aren't in love it was just lust and companionship at the time you know when everything was going on with the kidnappings. But if we don't get outta here this kid is coming right here in the office, call Blake and tell him to get his ass to the clinic now, tell him red alert. Blake's communicator went off and he picked it up only to see was his boss call it, that's kind of strange but okay whatever. Yes, boss man what's up? Red alert, Blake red alert get your ass to the clinic now young man. Blake stood there with a shocked expression on his face. Sammy looked at his friend and inquired what was up? Baby on the way, Stephine clinic, was all that Blake could utter out. Sammy looked at his friend and knew exactly what had transpired without another word. Get your ass to that clinic dumbass is not every day you become a father now move. I'll call Monica and let her know that her mom is on her way to the delivery suite. Sammy took out his communicator and dialed Monica's number, he got a recording; Monica was temporarily unavailable but would pick up your messages when she was out of class. Dammit girl this is emergency, your mom is on her way to the clinic for delivery get your ass out here to the ranch immediately. By the way the father will be there, so don't be surprised. He ended up the message by putting the alert tone 999 so that it would get her attention hopefully. Ted notified Mr. Ben and Mr. Zack about Stephine's current condition and that the child's father would be attending the birth of his first child. Two hours later and the labor was progressing, Stephanie was dilated to a full 10 in the pains were quite intense. Blake was by her side holding her hand and rubbing her stomach as every twitch and every pain hit, just like any Genman mate would be for his carrier. Sammy's communicator finally went off and it was Monica calling, she had just retrieved her messages. I'm so sorry Eddie and I were in finals and my communicator was put on silent as required how is my mother doing? Well from what I can tell you she's doing fine the doctors say that everything is going well she's fully dilated and your little brother is being a little stubborn. What about the father, the son of a bitch finally showed up, and where the hell has, he been. Girl your mother is full of surprises, seems that she has been in contact with the father this entire time. He made every doctor's appointment with her for her prenatal care and has been hands on the entire time unknown to everyone. I don't give a damn, when I see him, I'm going to fuck him up, he won't be able to hide on the ranch. Monica; hold your roll, this was not planned not even them two getting together. Your mother told us everything that they were only consoling one another during the time that Tobias was kidnapped. They are friends and that's it, they only hooked up the one time and other than the baby that was conceived they have no love interest in each other. I can't tell you who the father is because I have been sworn to secrecy until you arrive. His ass better not be there, I will clean the room when I walk in if I find whoever there. You know the Spinelli's and the doctor are not going to allow you to do that, they want your mother's delivered to go off without a hitch. When you get here, you'll understand everything a lot better, now you and Eddie be careful get here soon as you can. The only thing I will understand is when I plant my fist on that son of a bitch's mouth. Monica when you get here talk to me first, you know I only have your mom and that baby's best interest at heart. Things happen to good people that are beyond everyone's control and sometimes you have to have an understanding and leave the rage behind. Typical Genmen mentality, always trying to find a peaceful solution to every situation. Non-aggressiveness it's bullshit Total bullshit. I'm going to hang up before I get even more enraged, so I'll be there soon. Sammy put the communicator down and looked at Stephanie and Blake shaking his head. Let me guess my daughter is a total ass, I've told her about her temperament but I guess I'm just as responsible for it is anyone. Told her never to put up with the man's bullshit, to handle her own. Blake looked at Stephanie, and she wouldn't be your daughter if she wasn't that way, you have raised a wonderful young lady that is independent and very outspoken. If our son has just 1/10 of your initiative, he will be a great man because you are a great mother to your daughter already. Stephanie took Blake's hand and smiled, you will great as a father to our son, he will be levelheaded because of you. I know that we didn't go out to do this but I'm glad we did. I'm very glad that you are his father. Now get ready because it comes another pain, holy shit it fucking hurts feels like my whole body is getting ready to separate, being split in half. Matt was checking the progress of Stephanie's delivery; he's decided to start moving again so he's coming closer to the birth canal. It's going to be rough because he's big due to the fact that he is half pure blood Genmen. You knew that he was going to be big, we figured 12 to14 pounds but from the looks of it he's more like 19 to 20 pounds so it will be rough. If he stalls and he doesn't progress I will let you know, we will be doing a C-section. That shit is not going to happen, I will push his little ass right out. Just keep monitoring him and make sure that he doesn't get in distress. But I will take care of the pushing, Blake; haul your butt over here, stay with me. We made him and together we will bring him into this world. I'll try not to break your hand when I squeeze. As they waited on the transit bus Eddie really wanted to talk to Monica about life and things especially secrets being Kept. But she was so out of control right now nothing but sound reasonable coming from anyone, he just held onto her hand as they waited on the transit to arrive. His mind was going a mile a minute, it was almost 6 months ago that it happened at the gym one night when Monica wasn't with him. He did his complete work out as usual and went to the showers they were communal styles so nothing was hidden from anyone plus he wasn't ashamed of himself at all. He was scrub himself down getting rid of the sweat when a deep booming voice behind him spoke. Tonight wasn't the night to come in, especially with you smell and so fine and available Genmen. Eddie spun around but he didn't recognize the guy that he was looking at it wasn't a regular at the gym the guy was huge. Excuse me, don't want no trouble just cleaning up before going home to my fiancé she's waiting on me. Don't worry not going to give you any trouble just going to give you something else something you need. Eddie attempted to move but the guy was upon him before he could get out of the area. He was shoved to the corner and the big guy entered him before he could react. He was fully impaled deep into his innocence. The pain was great as he was ripped open violently. 80 couldn't speak because the guy had his hand over his mouth as he began to thrust with inside of him. Eddie's mind was screaming, one part of him wanted it the other part denied the other one. This couldn't be happening he can't carry I'm a breeder I'm not a breeder carrier. Please stop don't do this is mine screamed. Calm down young one, you shouldn't have come out smelling the way you do. Our race cannot deny pheromones and we have to react when they get into our bloodstream the guy said. You didn't realize that you were producing did you but you will now as my child gets ready to grow inside of your belly. You will never see me again; I will bother you but take care of the child that we produce he will do good for you. The Genman whispered in Eddie's here as he bred him firmly. It was late and there was no one else at the gymnasium at this time just the two of them in the showers and Eddie suffering throughout the breeding as his body was torn into from the inside. It lasted for two hours as the Genmen on top of him emptied himself multiple times into Eddie's young fertile body. Eddie was defeated as the Genmen removed himself stood up walked to the shower rinsed off and left. It he gathered himself and cleaned himself up other than little blood from it being his first nothing else was leaving his body so he knew for fact he had been bred by the big Genman. Honey where are you where is your mind asked Monica? Just got a lot on my mind at this time babes, things happen things go on it's just a lot. I hope you don't mean about my mom and her pregnancy because that was totally avoidable. She could've used protection and she wouldn't be in her situation trying to push a half-bred out of her body. Have you ever thought about when we decide to have children, it's not going to be easy for you either. Eddie Spinelli, you mean if we have children, my career comes first and foremost. Besides if you want a family, you can always pop one out after you get horny and bend over for someone. Monica was really more outspoken in her temperament; she really didn't feel this way it was just emotions shining through. But what would she really think if he told her what had happened over six months ago and even though he wasn't showing soon he would start putting on a few pounds. He needed to hold this back for as long as he could. Maybe he could speak to his granddad and something could be put into place so that Monica would never know about the baby that he carried within him. The ride on the transit was a little bumpy and it caused Eddie a little more discomfort than normal, being 6 ½ months along does get uncomfortable at times. You have been moaning and groaning over there all the time are you starting your cycle again, you're supposed to be a breeder but you come in regularly that's for sure. Being a second-generation hybrid doesn't help you a damn bit Genmen biology be damned. Monica quit complaining, it's something natural for me and you know that about me because we been together long enough. You're just upset at the situation with your mom but I tell you right now before you damage the relationship that you and your mother have you need to stop and calm down. I know that this is my Genmen side of my heredity speaking but you need to chill the fuck out or you're going to lose everything. Eddie Hawthorne, don't you dare tell me that chillout you have no right to speak about how I feel. I'm just trying to caution you I'm not telling you how to feel I just want you to be ready with a little bit of compassion and understanding I know being human comes with a lot of emotion to especially the rage side of the emotional spectrum. Blind rage is what you have you cannot see anything because your rage is blinding you. Fuck off, and I do mean that in the most sensitive way for your Genmen mentality. Maybe we do need to take a break, I'll let you keep the apartment in the city and I can work remotely from the Z1 and stay with my grandparents. A couple months or so apart should do is right. You stay where the fuck you want to, I don't give a damn. I can do without sex I'm not so sure you can, so you probably knock up half the damned population at the Z1. Monica got up and walked two hours away and took a seat by herself, after her performance she needed to get the fuck away before she punched someone. Three hours later in the transit pulled up in front of the Z1 ranch, several individuals got off of the transit before Monica stormed off. Eddie got up and made his way out the door with a small case. He decided against heading to the clinic so that he would be there for the main fight. He was sure that was going to be one but he needed to get away from Monica for a while so he headed to the main house. Franklin saw the young master walking up the sidewalk with a slight case. It didn't take too many steps to he figured out exactly what was going on and that there was a problem with young Eddie. He walked up to greet him. I'm sure that the right was not comfortable in your condition Sir would you like to take a side entrance so that you don't have to go to the main gallery Sir and I can prepare you a room. Is it that noticeable Franklin? Only to a seasoned pureblood Sir, I want to ask and you don't have to tell but I will maintain your secret for as long as you wish Sir. I believe that you need a rest in your condition what are you about six and half seven months? About that Sir, please don't tell my grandparents not until I'm ready. Nothing will ever be mentioned, that is yours to discuss with your granddad Ben first. Franklin helped Eddie into the house through one the side entrances so that they would not be noticed. Did not want to expose the young man to his dad or his uncle before he was ready to discuss the situation first. No sooner than Eddie removed his shoes and lay down he was out on the bed. Franklin covered up the young man wishing him a pleasant rest. Monica for her part was causing plenty of excitement at the clinic. The doctors had already barred her from the delivery room even though she cussed and screamed her head off. The boys were in the waiting room all except for Blake who was in the delivery room where he was wanted and needed. She looked at the rest of the boys so what the fuck is been going on since I've been gone? Since when are Blake and mom is such a damn specialty around here catering to their ways? Sammy looked at Monica; have a seat young lady and listen now. Sammy had never raised his voice to Monica before so she knew something was up and she did what she was told. Do you remember when Tobias was captured emotions ran high and things happen when emotions are high. Some things that wouldn't normally happen. Sammy quit beating around the dam Bush and let me hear it. Monica shut your mouth and listen to me for one time in your stupid and mature life. People react differently to stress especially when someone's life is in jeopardy in your mom's case, she reacted with someone that she normally would've considered only a passing friend. Nothing was intended at all when the two of them got together but yet something wonderful came out of it your little brother was about to enter into this world. If you remember about that time certain hormones were off with a young Genman because he was just starting to carry for someone that could not have a child of their own. I don't understand what you trying to say? Your mom and Blake had sex and due to his situation, he was very fertile and impregnated your mother with the child that she is now giving birth to. He has been there throughout this entire pregnancy for your mother and the child that they conceived together. It was totally by accident but it was meant to be. Your mother was never able to give your father a son because of his illness and after he passed away, she felt that she would never ever have another chance to bear a child until now. It's something that she feels so passionate about being able to bring forth a little brother for you one that she promised you your entire life but was never able to produce. Blake is terrified of what you will think of him, letting emotions and hormones get in the way and a friendship. You mean my mother and Blake; our Blake did the deed and that's what happened? Monica yes usually when humans and Genmen's get together and have unprotected sex the pregnancy does occur but this being a Genman male and human female was a little different it was meant to be because human females aren't fertile 100% of the time like Genmen are they get with a human male. Let me have a seat and digest this, Eddie and I got and one hell of a fight, will taking a break because of it. He staying at the main house I'm staying at the house. Hope ship I have been totally overbought about everything. Ron looked at Monica, you think possibly just a little bit overboard. Girl it's been hell around here Tobias is still out in recovery after almost losing his life-giving birth to Bryson I mean everything here is still all disarrayed and you were through a little pissy ass bitch fit about who your mother got with. You need your ass whipped no matter your age. I'm a telling you right now grow the fuck up and quit acting like that's snot nosed little bitch. You owe your mother and Blake both a huge apology. And there's one thing you don't have to worry about Devlin Blake Rogers will never wonder about his parentage because he will know. He will know that he has two loving parents though they may not share the same home they love him equally plus he has all of us to run to if he has a problem. The only question is will he have a big sister that can show him love? Craig looked at his mate, don't fault her too much she's only human. You know that we humans have some difficulty at times with our aggressive emotional side and we get our heads up our asses and ignore everything but the facts. Yes, Craig I understand, but this is something that Stephanie and Blake do not need this moment that outburst in the delivery area was above and beyond. Mitch finally decided to speak, we were raised differently in fact us boys were not raised at all we just survived we had to depend upon our basic Genmen instant. Monica did the very best she could, being raised by a single mom who also had a chip on her shoulder. She was thoroughly in love yet the love of her life was taken from her. She put everything she had in Monica and tried her best, she didn't have a lot of trust and a lot of people and maybe some of that rubbed off on Monica the issue of trust but is just human nature and that we cannot fault anyone for because Genmen had their problems also. We can't say no to anyone when it's our time even though we don't want to have reproductive sex if we get caught out, we have it regardless it's just who we are the way we were bred to be. Is one race superior to the other one no, do we complement each other yes, we do and we produce beautiful offspring that will help ensure both of our races will survive. Monica will have to come to grips with everything, it will take time and it will take someone to stand by her side and support her. Ben came walking out the delivery room with a smile upon his face. I am pleased to announce Devlin Blake Rogers is doing great at 18 pounds and 6 ounces he was born into this world with both of his loving parents with him. Mom other than a few stitches is doing great but will be sore for a few days, his father is currently holding him and giving him his first round of nectar. Now for all of those who do not have a problem you will be allowed in the viewing area of the nursery, young lady you and I need to talk before you are allowed near your mom the baby or Blake. By the way where is my grandson it? That would be my fault to answer Monica, he isn't here he went to go stay at the main house we had a fight on the transit bus in route to the Z1. I don't really know how bad it was because I wasn't listening, I did want to hear anything he had to say. Ben took out his communicator and called the main house and the call was picked up by Franklin. Good day Sir how is everything at the delivery? Everything is fine baby has arrived doing well parents are doing well but I understand my grandson is there at the main house why? He wasn't very talkative other than he and his cohabitant were having problems on the trip and he was going to stay at the main house away from her. Sir he is exhausted and I have asked Dr. Rupert to come to the main house so that he could check on Eddie. He seems undernourished to me and his color was off. Thank you very much Franklin. I will be on my way in a few moments to check up on my grandson. Sir he doesn't want a lot of people especially his parents to know that he is here at the main house staying he has agreed to see only you Sir. Is there something I need to know now Franklin? Sir I told him the situation was between the two of you but I did call the Dr. over on my own Sir not wanting to violate anyone's privacy or confidence. Ben sensed that there was a lot more to the situation and he hung up the phone. Monica is everything alright between you and my grandson? There's nothing that you need to tell me is there? No Sir we've had a little strain and I relationship. Most of it is my fault for being so hardheaded but other than that we just go to school the gym and study. We see each other in passing because were on different schedules now. He sleeping I'm in class I'm sleeping he's in class and in the meantime, he likes to go to the gym. I'm going to check on my grandson, young lady you watch your attitude and watch your mouth or I will bounce you right off of this ranch right back to the city. Ben turned and left. Ben blasted right into the house not even stopping for staff or others. Franklin where is he at inquired Ben. He is located in the room next to yours and Mr. Zach's the old nursery area. Figured you might want to have him near during his time. Ben's face turned pale, what do you mean his time? I've said too much Sir, you need to go be with your grandson. He will need your guidance during this portion of his life. Ben walked up to the room and took a deep breath as he opened the door. Lying on his side was Eddie, Ben approached the bed and took a seat on the edge and gently stroked his grandson's hair and cheek. He noticed that the tray of food had not been touched either the young boy was asleep when it was brought or he just didn't eat and that wasn't like Eddie. Eddie felt the warm embrace of his granddad's hand against his face and tears began to stream down his cheeks. He started to sob as Ben gently cradled his head next to him. It's okay, we will deal with this together. You have me and you have your entire family. I didn't mean for it; I didn't ask for it I didn't want it it just happened. I can't do it. Tell your granddad what happened, it might be painful to talk about but speaking about it always helps the trauma of the event. It was late I was at the showers in the gym, he came up behind me and was up on me and impelled me before I knew what happened. I couldn't stop them and I couldn't stop it, when he was finished, he left me in the showers on the floor. Said that my aroma made him take action. I didn't know I was, and I never expected to carry at all I'm a breeder. Okay so it was nobody's fault and nature took over, how far along? Six and half months ago Sir, I've been hiding it hoping it would go away or at least I wouldn't gain weight and I could deliver and leave it at a Genman clinic. Is that the reason you haven't been eating, no proper nourishment just enough to maintain yourself? Every time I get sick, and I don't want to get sick in front of people. But yes, I didn't want to gaining weight so I have cut back eating. Well, that's something this going to be ending right now, Franklin has brought you a special meal and it is still hot if I have to feed it to you myself you will eat it and you will eat every drop of it no matter how long it takes. Yes, Sir I understand what I'm I going to do with a child, I don't want children at least now and always thought it would be Monica who would give birth to my children not me giving birth to someone else's. You two were made for each other both of you are stubborn his help and pigheaded. You two are going to have the talk and what I mean by the talk is you two are going to sit there and listen while I do the talking. And whether you to make it that's up to you but all this nonsense all this childishness will stop now. You will have to break the news to your dad, your father on the other hand is another situation I'll talk to Carter. Franklin will stand here as you eat, and he will report to me if you do not eat at all. Do not try me on this young man because you need proper nourishment for you and the offspring that you carry within your body. I will return but remember this the child that you carry is the most important of all, Genman have given their lives for their offspring so that their lineage can survive. You do know that your grandfather will hunt him down and have his seedpods removed. ************************************** Gorka was working the high steel when he sensed something in the air more like he smelled something. He remembered the day that he came out to the Z1, it was a dark time for him he had done something that he was not proud of even though it was nature, he was still ashamed of himself forgiving in and taking a young Genman such a manner and leaving his seed behind. He had beat himself up constantly and even confessed his sins to Mr. Zach himself, the Spinelli's had spoken with the young man several times as he attempted self-harm. He was hybrid but he leaned toward the Genman side with his size much like young Tim did when he first matured. Gorka had been raised in a mixed family he was the first born and the only one of the boys that was misshapen as his dad called it. He had both reproductive organs like a normal Genmen and the size and growth pattern of a normal Genmen unlike his three siblings who took after the human side of their parentage. Two grew at a normal pattern for humans and the other one the last child born took after the Genman side growing with an accelerated pattern. He never told his parents what he did at the gym that night he just let them know that he needed to be someplace with more like his kind so he headed to the Z1 so that he knew he would be accepted even though he was hybrid by bloodlines. Ted got a phone call from one of the guys on the high steel Gorka was having a meltdown up high and refused to come back down. He was even talking about going down the hard way and it would all be over. Ted immediately called Zach and asked for his help for the young man. Zach left the main ranch with Madison driving like a bat out of hell, he didn't know why he felt so much for this young man Gorka and he realized he could not lose him because of the guilt that he felt. Zach told everyone to stay away and he would go up to the tall iron himself. As he stepped off of the gang elevator, he saw Gorka sitting on the edge of the steel by himself. Zack swallowed down hard and hope to safety line to the rail and went to go take a seat beside Gorka himself. Zach took a seat a few feet away from the young man. Well good morning what in the world is the problem? Something bad, I don't know what it is but there's something here and I can explain I smell it everywhere replied Gorka. Are you taking your medication like the Dr. wants you to Gorka? It makes me feel funny, almost numb like I don't exist. It's not right when I take it. We do you do Mr. Ben and myself a favor and come down with me off of this place. I do not relish the thought of having to call anyone's parent and tell them that their child is no longer. We can talk about it when we get down to the ground where we are both safe. Just to let you know Miss Stephanie had her baby this morning. I know that you and her talked a lot during lunch breaks and she'll be able to talk to you once again when she gets back but not if you do something desperate. How is she doing without a father for that child how can anyone raise the child alone? That's something that you don't have to worry about because the father has been here all along, they kept their secret between the two of them so that they would not upset anyone. He will be there for the child as he grows up even though the two will not share a home together, they still can raise a child with each other. That makes no sense, how can you be a father to a child but not live with one? It happens all the time and Genmen families especially those who are bred independently and raise the child by themselves. Children know both parents 99% of the time even though they're not together physically they will be there for them three phone calls through video chats. In the also visit what you think we have the visitors' quarters, sometimes father's wish to see their children and the dad's will allow that here on the Z1. Sometimes a dad needs a weekend off and the father comes to the Z1 to spend time with the child to help out. But Mr. Zach, that can never happen in my case because I don't know who the other one was much less where he is. It happened in the showers at the gym we were the only ones around because we had independent locking cards for privacy. The place was deserted and I left after I realized exactly what had taken place, I was scared for both of us. Now let's talk about your parents, why haven't you been in contact with either your dad or your human father much less a sibling? I can't tell them what I did because they wouldn't understand. My dad always told me that I was different and that desires and actions or impulses would happen but I needed to ignore them. My father he just would be shamed and never talk to me again. It's better that I live here away from them with no contact my siblings don't need to know what I did to another. You still need to go to your classes, to learn the Genmen ways you need to learn how to control yourself around others especially when it's their times. The doctors want you back on your meds and get used to them because they will help you. Some hybrids have problems with their emotions because genetics fight against each other. We will help you Ben and myself. I will even get Tim involved and even Luther can shed some light on what he went through as a young first-generation hybrid. We had our hell with him, but look at him now, he successful he's got a mate he's got children and he helps run the place. But now at this time we need to get out here off this high up and get a little closer to the ground, I feel safer down there myself and I would feel safer for you. Whatever you say Mr. Zach, I trust you and your good judgment. Zach picked up his communicator and let Franklin know that he was bringing a guest home for this evening to have a place at the table set for him along with an extra room in case it was needed through the night. Yes, Sir but I need to inform you that you already have a guest here Sir. His granddad is in with him now and it is quite the family affair if you would know what I'm saying. Okay Franklin I understand what you're trying to say without saying it so that must mean you cannot speak freely at this time because there are others in the area. Let Ben know that I have a special guest coming and he needs all of the attention that we can possibly spare after his attempted action today. May I have an indication of what his name might be Sir? G is all I can say. Thank you, Sir you have said, plenty I understand, everything will be set up so that neither guest should be interfered with. Franklin was very busy around the house and so was the rest of the staff trying to get everything in place. Jarvis was a little miffed at all of the goings on but he trusted his grandson to handle everything properly. Franklin walked up to the room and lightly tapped on the door as not to disturb anyone, Ben opened the door to speak to Franklin. Yes, can I help you? Sorry to disturb you Mr. Ben but Mr. Zach has messaged me to expect a guest for this evening for the meal and maybe a place to stay for a couple days as he can be watched here at the main house with respect. Did he say who this person might be Franklin? He just gave me the initial G so I believe it would be the young one that's named Gorka. I don't mean to speak out of turn but I imagine the young man failed to take his medication again and is battling with his demons. He's not the only one with demons after him, Eddie is also facing his demons in the reality of his situation. Maybe the two have more in common than we realize one can't forgive himself and the other one cannot come to grips with what happened. Both boys are in deep trouble so let Ronan know that if we need him, we will call on him but other than that he needs to protect himself and the twins.
