Date: Wed, 13 Oct 2021 19:19:35 +0000 (UTC) From: cgf2662 Subject: The Z-1 Ranch P-99 The Z1 Ranch P -- 99 CGW© Benny felt the coolness of the air as it blew through his hair going down the road in the speeder with Zach, it didn't hurt that it had grown over 6 ½ inches during the transition. Father Zach why are you putting so much emphasis on me? I'm nobody special I'm just a Genman like everyone else. Zack pulled the speeder off to the side the road. Because you are special you are my son your part of my family. It's time that you and the other boys get the recognition as Spinelli's like you should. But just don't be disappointed please and yourself, you are going to be a force to be reckoned with when it comes to the Z1. Zack pulled back on the roadway and blasted off to town. He parked directly in front of Sonja's boutique. Excuse me Father Zach why are we parking in front of this place? Sonja is like family in fact she will be family if Ty ever gets around to finalizing the dates, she is my miracle worker. You don't think I would trust my family to anyone else? Zach walked in the front door; we are here front and center where is everybody else set today they didn't take a day off did they? Sonja came out from the back stockroom, and just who is going to run this place if I take all the ladies are fine at their jobs but it takes my special touch. How you doing grandfather? I doing wonderful did my first arrival make it this morning and is the second arrival here yet? Number one mated got him all fixed up looks like 1 million credits, haven't seen number two yet but it looks like number three is here now and the damn. It's a good thing that I'm up with Tyler I might be looking. Sonja this is Benny, he is one of Ben's sons that came to live at the Z1 after the accident. As if you could hide the family resemblance from me, damn good-looking young man but I can make him even better. Some good clothing that fits, hair cut trim those nails off clean them up a little bit and you going to have to fight some Genman off of him. So, tell me Benny is you gonna pitch or catch. Benny smiled at Sonja; I am a pitcher exclusively. In fact, I'm joining the program if my father will allow it. Ben might be a lot of things but he's not a fool, only thing is who takes over when he retires. Father is not going to retire, and I have no idea who would replace him. He's a legend just like father Zach. Keep on young man, I can take all of the compliments that you can hand out. Too bad your father wasn't here so that he could have heard your statement. I don't want to give them the bighead, but he is one of the three most important people in my life that have made me who I am today. First there was dad, then there was father and next was you. I don't mean to seem like I'm begging but can we order a malted before we go back ranch. Nothing against the ones in the food court but when Constantine puts his magic too them, they taste so much better. The bell on the front door rang out, would you two excuse me I think I have another customer that just came in and he needs Sonja's touch. Sonja walked to the front and there stood a very well put together young man, he was dirty and in ill-fitting clothes but he was something else. Good day my kind sir and welcome to Sonja's boutique, give me just a minute and I'll be right with you. Sonja walked to the private room were Zach and Benny were sitting. Grandfather I believe that you have a visitor here, he's about what you described you called. Zach stood up and walked up front to the foyer of the boutique. Good I see that you have made it Steve. Mr. Zach, I don't need to be around these nice clean things here because my clothes are dirty from the trip and I'm not so clean either. Well, why do you think you're here, we have to make a good impression on the folks back at the Z1. Show them that the Samuels half class and Steve Samuels is no exception. Come back and meet the miracle worker her name Sonja. Her and the girls will take care of you just like their taken care of young Benny who has just transitioned into an adult Genman. It's not every day that a man gets to show off one of his sons. Steve followed Mr. Zach to the private room in the boutique, he was very careful not to brush up against anything. Sonja this is Steve Samuels his family or some of the newest residents of the Z1 in Ben's latest acquisition. Take him as a scruffy young man and make them into a desirable gentleman. Girls you heard grandfather Zach what he said; take the waif and return them man. Head to toe, top to bottom, steam room, soaking tub, nails, hair and especially the clothing must be perfect. Tell me Steve do you like chocolate? I've only had one piece in my life and it was very nice. Well, that's perfect then I know what flavor malted to get you. Grandfather you and I are going to step out as the ladies take care of these two fine gentlemen and get them started. We will return with malted's for everyone. Sounds great to me Sonja and I will need a little trim of the hair too. At will be easily taken care of but I need to talk to you about that Grandson of yours. I've set five dates down to him and he's got something happening every time. Could be Sonja that we just need to plan a wedding without the groom involved and invite him later when he shows up thinking it's a celebration party he walks into his own wedding? I love the way you think, because I was thinking about just hog tying him and dragging him down to the judge. That would work, you wouldn't get the wedding that you really would like, but you at least you would get the man. Let's talk about this over malteds. Robbie made sure that Ranger and Graham were ready to leave along with Hoyt and Halbert. They had everything for the baby and even though Ranger was grumbling a little about seeing a doctor, but he agreed with Graham and Robbie that he needed to be checked because of the tears that happened during the baby's birth. Robbie was the only one that knew about the celebration that would take place later on while they were at the main ranch. Everyone got into the speeder and Robbie drove to the front of the Z1, the crew had stabilized everything and the temporary sensors in and decided to call it a day so that they could go to the main compound. The ladies of the boutique knew the drill, Benny was sitting in the chair getting his haircut after it had been washed. Steve was in the body grooming area, he had been scrubbed down from head to toe especially his hair. It had to be rinsed five times to get all of the dirt out of it after it had been shampooed four times. They had applied some conditioner because of the sun damage and wrapped in only a robe they showed him the way to the front so that he could take his place beside Benny. Steve went to introduce himself to the young man that set beside him and offered his hand. His nice to meet you after hearing all about you for these past few days, you are just like Sam described you. You know my brother? Yes, I do he has been staying with us since were the host family for him. He's been a little preoccupied with a new interest for the last 48 hours. Me I transitioned last night and it's now for my cleanup and refitting of clothes that fit me since I hit my final growth spurt. Heck if I grow anymore, I don't know what to wear because I've outgrown everything there was. Sam left me up suit of clothes but they won't last long because they are so thin you can see daylight the shirt. That's okay I think father Zach has a few things in mind for you. Sonja will furnish you with the basics here that way you can make a good impression when you come to the ranch plus the storehouse is full of clothes. Sam got his whole wardrobe from the storehouse and it fits him like a glove. What's the storehouse? We recycle everything we can on the Z1 so clothing that is gently used is laundry and stored for someone when they grow into it once they have finished with its use if it still good, we recycle it again. Blankets are made out of the discard along with rags for the work crews. The Spinelli's do not waste an opportunity to make everything and everyone useful. You're about the same age as my little brother, just about to turn 19, correct? In a few days yes, I will and Sam will be 21. You and Brody should hit it off quite well, he's feisty though always got a sharp tongue and doesn't mind speaking his mind. Sounds like a nice guy, I don't mind meeting him plus maybe he can show me around the place I know it's hectic with Sam getting ready for school so I'll need someone. Brody would be the one to show you, plus as good-looking as you are I don't think he'd mind you tagging along. Can ask you something and I hope I'm not out of line? Sure, you can ask me anything you need you won't embarrass me. Benny, is it true that Genmen males can carry a baby inside of them just like a female human and I guess female Genmen? Yes, our bodies are dual sexed we were designed that way through Genetic Manipulation when we were created as laborers. Does that mean every Genmen has a baby, I've read all I can but the books are not always correct on some things especially when it comes from the government councils. Do not mix, do not interbreed do not associate. Be cautious can be aggressive and provoked. Benny started to laugh and just like the ladies. Sounds like a lot of Anti-Genmen propaganda, someone is always trying to stir something up. Historically Genmen are very docile, that's the reason we made such good slaves to the Royals for our ship crash landed here. This planet is the Savior for every Genmen and every hybrid genman that walks on the soil of Solaris 10. We still endure prejudiced treatment by members of the human society but it is what it is an we live those that live with us. And to answer your questions, not all Genmen carry offspring. There are three classes of Genmen first class is the Breeders they only breed other Genmen, then there are the breeder / carriers they not only breed but they also carry children, then we get to the final class and that's carriers their whole role in life is to work hard and birth children. And before you get the notion to asked that question, I'm an exclusive breeder. I understand the first and the last class but what about that breeder / carrier class I'm not catching on to that one? You have a Genman that will not only breed his mate but will accept a Breeding from his mate and they will both bear children for the relationship. Then there's the conception program where Breeders Carry and they also produce with the carriers that come in for conception. What's the conception program? At the Z1 we have special rooms at the center a young genman will come in from other ranches or farms and if they don't have a mate, they will choose from a list of Breeders that are made available. They usually stay three days and after they've conceived a child by a breeder, they will return to their farm returning once a month for medical checkup and to deliver the child. Both parents' bond with the child the Breeders known as the father and the carrier is known as a dad. The dad will take the child back to his ranch or farm and raise it up on transition if the child wishes to meet his father, he can seek out the Genman who produced him. What about this mixture, that I keep on reading about hybrids? That's easy some humans find a Genman that they're attracted to they have sex they get him pregnant and the offspring are considered hybrids. Not always accepted by the human population but never turned away by Genmen. So, you're telling me if I was to have sex with a genman when it was the proper time, I could get him pregnant? Yes, you could if that's what you wish to do in life, but father Zach has a little bit of problem with that. He prefers that they stay together during the pregnancy and bring the baby in the world together he doesn't want a lot of single parents anymore. Too many children were being produced by too many different fathers to the same dads. I don't blame him a child needs stability and a family around him with both parents. When I find my mate, I will stick with my mate. Zach and Sonja walked in and listen to the conversation between the two young men. Both of them were showing very good reasoning and maturity beyond their years. Well, I see the two of you have met and are getting along well when you gentlemen finish up here and have your clothing, we need to get to the Z1 so that I can arrange a few things that I need to be done. Sonja and the ladies packed up the extra clothing and the young men were dressed perfectly. Head to toe everything was new including the underwear that Steve was not so sure about because they made him feel crowded. Benny saw Steve pull at his crotch a couple times adjusting himself. Don't worry you get used to Sam has, underwear is a rule at the Z1 no free balling. Free what responded Steve? You know letting them swing in the breeze as you walk. Oh, now I understand just something you something different. So how far is it to the Z1 from here? 9 miles give or take an inch, but actually a lot of this belongs to the Z1 also. The diner next door in this whole block was purchased by Mr. Z and it's all been renovated plus all the new construction you saw coming in on the transit you know the neighborhoods is a call them, they belong to the Z1 too. This isn't a fly-by-night operation by no means that's what I tried to tell my father. Anyone who can purchase 250,000 acres of land in the government has to be big time. Who purchased what, how many acres? The other gentleman Mr. Ben purchased 250,000 acres to build upon to the Z1, didn't you know that? Nope but I do now, father is always full of surprises and this is a very big surprise. I wonder what father and Mr. Zach have in store? Well, I can tell you one thing, what they have done for my family is nothing short of a miracle. He sent out some machinery to help with harvest once that was finished the land was turned under along with extra acreage, replanted and ready to go. What would've taken my family almost 2 months to accomplish those machines that were graciously sent to us did all that in one day. Mother has a new house kitchen that she's never had before. We have electricity and new water wells thanks to the Spinelli's. My brother Sam is going to go to special school it's got some fancy name that I can't member. Mother wishes that I get a better education than she has been able to give me by just reading books and learning during off time from the fields. I need to talk to Mr. Ben and Mr. Zach to see if it is possible if not, I'll just go back home and stay in the fields. Benny Patted Steve on the shoulder, let me have a crack at it I've got inside track. Just play it cool and before you know it you just might be in that special school. Father Zach I need to ask you a question? Go ahead Benny, if the question out before we get on the road as I will be able to hear you. If someone lives on the Z1 main ranch and he has a younger sibling that wishes to attend school and university is that possible. Sure, the Z1 is always open to help anyone willing to learn. Why do you know somebody that is looking to do this? It's possible that I might but we need to let the young men get the lay of the land first. Okay not a problem he's ready he has to do is come to the main house talk to me and your father and we should be able to get him set up possibly with his sibling or even a host family. Thank you very much father Zach, that helped a whole lot. I guess it's time to head back to the Z1 now it's enough of the Township for me. Zach buckled in as the two young men did and with a flip the switch, they were off headed to the Z1. Benny had no idea what was awaiting him. Back on the ranch it had been busy all morning, then was not quite sure what Zach was up to and nobody would speak all they would tell him was talk to Mr. Zach they were on gag order. Ben's communicator went off with a message. Be dressed in something nice, your attendance is required. The same message went out to Benjamin and Madison. Benjamin knew something was up when Brody returned with a brand-new suit of clothing haircut and looking like a brand-new young man. He had asked him what was up but Brody would not break the only thing that he would reply was you will have to talk to father Zach. Jonathan had kept a low profile ever since the event, he knew something was taking place on the Z1 even though he did not know what it was so he contacted Augustus and asked him what he accompany him to the event. Augustus graciously accepted the invitation; he would be waiting at the house we picked up by Jonathan. Ed, Carter and the boys were all dressed in getting ready for whatever Zach had planned, for the first time since Constantine had taken over the diner there was a sign being placed in the window. Closing early for special event at the Z1 will reopen tomorrow morning. Zion had already warmed up so that he could play at the event that Mr. Zach's request. Banquet tables had been set up all in the Expo Center. Even the food court had been made available for extra seating along with Promenade area. Zack pulled up to the front of the main house. As requested, Sam was there but he had Chip with him and they were holding hands when Steve stepped out of the speeder. There was no hiding anything because right there and broad open he was holding hands with a Genman. Sam swallowed hard with his brother walked up to. So, this is why you were a little too busy to talk to me earlier when I tried to call? Steve, you don't understand it's not like it looks. All I can say it looks like it looks like you have hooked up with a very cute Genman and from what I can see with you holding hands there's a little bit more to it. Benny said that you had been out of the house the last 48 hours and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand where you were and who you were with. Steve please just don't say anything please, I don't want a big brouhaha. I'm not telling anybody; you are not at home anymore, you are an adult and allowed to make adult decisions about your life, that includes who you let in your life. Now are you going to introduce us are not or do I have to introduce myself. Steve I would like for you to meet Chip, Chip this is my younger brother Steve. I don't know what else to say. Chip held his hand out and Steve automatically pulled chip to him and hugged him. Keep the big lug safe, sometimes he gets in trouble and is because he's so trusting. So is this thing between the two of you a fling or you two going to set up shop. If Mr. Zach approves, I would like Sam to be able to stay with me in my home for an extended basis. He will go to school and finish his degree; he goes home and visits his family as he sees fit and when wishes to tell them about us, will all meet. I don't know something else is up here, can't quite put my finger on it but there's more to this. It's okay whatever makes the two of you happy I'm fine with it. How did you get away from the farm it's harvest season? That was easy, the harvester came out went to the fields removed the crop, then plowed the field under, planted the new crop we're through for the year plus they tripled the size of the fields. Mom is very pleased with her new kitchen when you come back for a visit don't be surprised. Don't ask me anything else because I'm not telling you. Sam looked over at Benny, Dang dude you grew. You are going to be one heartbreaker, going to have a trail of young carriers following you around. Benny chuckled, only if they follow the conception center's rules. Other than that, I'm off-limits until I'm ready to settle with a mate. So, you're really going into the program, like you talked about? If father approves, I am. Father Zach has no problem but as you know it can always be shot down by the one in charge. Mr. Ben is reasonable I don't think you'll have a problem if you talk to him. Zach looked at the boys as they spoke, because to him, they would always be boys. Okay we need to go to the Expo Center and that means all of us, we can all go together. Sam you and Chip along with Steve will have a table with the Spinelli family. Benny looked at Zach, sir exactly what is going on if I may ask? You can ask but all I will tell you is, it's long overdue now let's go. Okay, I guess that you have to do replied Benny. When they arrived at the Expo Center the place was packed, Sam and Steve were not used to this kind of crowd. This made Chip hang on to Sam's arm even tighter. Zach escorted the bunch up to the front and show Sam, Steve and Chip were to sit, he took Benny's arm. Come with me young man have an audience that awaits. It Benny was a confuse before he was most definitely is now. Benjamin and Madison made their way in and were shown where to sit, it was all laid out place cards. The children had their own tables. Bailey sat next to Antonio, Bryant set next to Nolan, Brody was seated next to Steve and young Zachary was bouncing around not wanting to sit at the children's table. Everyone was at a loss, but Brody couldn't be happier. He was sitting next sex to perfect legs, he introduced himself to Steve who was a little overwhelmed. Don't worry about anything I will be your personal escort here at the Z1. You can stay at our home tonight if Sam and Chip are still a little too busy to have house guests. Steve thanked Brody for his invitation; I'll let you know what I decide. I haven't seen Sam in a few of days and it seems like a lot has changed with him in his life. It sure has, one day he's our roommate sleeping in our home and the first time he gets to go out by himself he nails him a sexy one. How old are you Steve if you don't mind me asking Sam told me but I can't remember? Turning 19 in a week and two days after I turned 19 Sam turns 21. Wow, Steve that makes us almost the same age technically. I will transition within 6 to 9 months and that'll make me 20 human years. I was reading the way that Genmen mature and age, it's fascinating takes me all this time to get to 19, and you do it within 2 ½ years. And it three Celebrations your 20 and you go through some kind of transition and mature out. Yes, we do it that's what happened to Benny, he was running late a lot of it was due to the trauma of our dad's death and relocating here with father. I'm so sorry you lost your dad, but how did you end up with your father didn't live with him forever used to? No Steve; our dad conception program for all of us boys. He said he did not want to be tied down with a mate he wanted to raise his children his way one with respect and honor oneself. He selected the best of the best, and once a year he returned here during his cycle to conceive another child with the same breeder. A lot of Genmen do this so that all of the children can have the same genetics but others they pick up whatever is available and reproduce. I knew back home one Genmen had 12 children and all of them had different fathers. Wow Brody, that's pushing it. 12 children 12 fathers how did he ever keep them all figured out who's was whose. Personally; if you ask me, he was just a hoe that like different dick. I guess he was really no different than a lady of the night in the human world that decided to get pregnant and she wanted to buy a different gentleman that she picked up on the street corner. This was more than Steve could stand and he busted out laughing. Everyone stared at Brody, knowing he had something to do with the commotion. As the boys laughed at each other they felt a kinship. On the staging area behind all the pomp and circumstance, then was making sure that Benny was perfect. Zach had promised him something stupendous would happen this evening on the Z1 and he had better be ready. Ben realized that Zach was always up to something but tonight was even more. Zion took his place behind the piano and began to play a concerto from one of the ancient masters. When the music got to certain point the curtains behind the tables opened up and there stood Benny and the center flanked by Mr. Zach and Ben on either side of him. They walked to the banquet tables, Tim and Luther were already sitting on stage with their mates. Zach escorted Ben to his place then showed Benny to his, Zach walked to the podium and asked everyone to bow their head in prayer as Zion played a pleasant musical score. The prayer was said and everyone gave thanks. Zach began his speech; friends, family and constituents of the Z1 tonight we are gathered here in thanks and in celebration. I give thanks for our family; we have a very large family here in Spinelli's and we come from all walks of life. Ben and I are very proud of all of our children even those that are not here with us tonight. I would like to formally introduce the latest members of the Spinelli family and Ben's children who I think of as my own. When I announce your name would you please stand up. Benjamin, Bailey, Bryant, Brody, Zachary Don and our guest of honor tonight, Benny. Not every day you get to welcome one of your children into adulthood. Benny has transitioned and is now an adult, and he has made his choice of who you will be in life. I myself could not be more pleased with his choice. Benny has decided to join the program as an apprentice breeder. He has his father's great genetics to help him succeed. He has high aspirations within the program to be the best that he can be. After he does his apprenticeship and he serves his time helping the Z1 further the bloodlines he will succeed his father and eventually take over the conception program. As you all know Ben his semi-retired and mostly teaches, but when it's right Benny will take over the reins and continue the tradition that Ben and I started here on the Z1. And he sits right over here next us here on the stage our firstborn Luther, our third Timothy excuse me Tim as he's always telling me that he prefers. I could not prouder of these young men that have taken over the business in of the day-to-day operations of the Z1. Benjamin along with his mate Madison who are head of host program. Mostly is Benjamin but Madison helps out when he's not driving me all over the place. The other young men Bailey and Bryant have taken a back step and are raising families. When they wish they will find what they want here on the Z1. The construction department couldn't do without Robbie Luther spouse. Madison keeps the house for Tim and their son while playing stepparent when Tim's twins stop by. Our younger boys will be getting into trouble as they raise themselves up with the guidance of Ben, and the ever-watchful eye of Jarvis and Franklin as they take care of the main house. If you cannot read between the lines of my speech, I'll tell you outright. It doesn't matter how you get to the Z1 or one of her sister ranches once you're here you are family. Now I don't want to be to long-winded because a couple of people are about rate of fallout of the chairs right now. Let's enjoy the music the food and the celebration for all. And this is one side note to my grandson Ty, if you do not marry that beautiful young lady, you're fired she's got her dress, you got your suit and you need the date set don't make me wait. Ben stood up and walked to Zach at the podium. Ty, please stand up so the multitude can see what a procrastinator looks like. Ty was dressed in a very nice outfit as he stood there with everyone gawking. Once again, the backdrop curtains opened up in their standing in her wedding dress holding a bouquet of flowers was Sonja. Ben cleared his throat; my dearest grandson Ty. Everyone is here she's in her dress it's now or never. I have the minister waiting you get your ass up here. Ty slowly walked his way up to the front of the center and stood up on center stage. Zion played the wedding music and Sonja walked out and was escorted by Zach and being as they promised her, she would be. Once everything settled down and everyone took their seats. The minister began the ceremony, the vows were exchanged that they would be permanently bonded mates, husband and wife. Ty slipped the ring on Sonja's finger minister announced him husband-and-wife. They had a gathering of all of the single Genmen in the front of the Expo area, Sonja turned and pitched the bouquet behind her overhead. As if it were guided by an unseen force that flew directly into Chip's hands. Sam did not think the thing about it as he took Chip into his arms and kissed him passionately in front of the entire audience. Brody elbowed Steve, told you there was more to that. I don't know how father feels about it, but mother understands that there's not enough females and especially the way we were raised. As long as she gets a grandbaby eventually it be okay with her. Wow, Steve was kinda worried about what his parents, your parents would think if he brought the genman home with him to introduce to them. Much less when the sortie carrying their grandchild. Oh, shit I wasn't supposed to tell anybody please do not tell Sam I let it slip. I won't say a word Brody if you promise to show me around this place the next couple of days while I'm here, plus you're not half bad looking yourself. I'm going to have to watch out for you Samuel boys, seems like you both a little fast. Sam chuckled, only if you're too slow you get caught. You will only catch me Steve if either the you better be able to run very fast with long sexy legs of yours. They both laughed. Bailey leaned over to his younger brother; Brody be careful you don't lose your heart. Get to know him first before you invite him in. Brody smiled; not before my second cycle will anyone touch me in that way. And if they try to force themselves, I got me a sharp pocketknife and it won't be there anymore. You go little bro, keep that attitude and your wits about you. Just when everybody all they had seen everything, Rocco and Franklin came up the main aisle pushing the most elaborate wedding cake anyone had ever seen. Sonja busted out in tears when she saw the cake, Ty was set back on his heels. Rocco walked up to the podium and asked for a moment. Everyone quieted. To the happy couple may your days and nights be filled with joy and love. As a token of love the staff of the Z1 main house presents to you our gift of this beautiful cake, this is for you to enjoy. Sonja walked up to Rocco and hugged his neck and Ty shook his and Franklin's hand. Ben and Zach also took their turns at thanking Rocco because it was his surprise arrival that allow this magnificent masterpiece to be created. Between the all-you-can-eat buffet which was all eaten by the way, the music and topped off with the wonderful cake the evening was a great success. Benny was shocked at all the well-wishers that he received, knowing that he would be the one continuing his father's work and in tradition at the center. Tim walked up to his brother and shook his hand. I don't mind helping when I needed by request at the center and you know that but with my family, the main office, running this place and other obligations my time is a little short these days. The Job is all yours when Ben retires. Thank you, Tim; I know it might seem ambitious on my part and I have some mighty big shoes to fill but I'm going to make everyone proud especially our father's. Ben had a very special surprise for the newlyweds. He had reserved the Paris suite for them. Ty and Sonja slipped out and went to start their life together. Steve even asked Brody for a dance, which he gladly accepted. The two talked as they danced, Steve had read everything he could about Genmen since the new house was equipped with satellite feed and the tablets were also on open access. The party lasted into the early hours; everyone was fairly exhausted when Benjamin told Brody it was time for them to go home. Brody did not want to leave his newfound, he told Steve that he would see him early the next day. Steve, I have so much to show you here, it'll give us more time to get to know each other and Sam and Chip a little more time to do what they wanted to. Steve leaned in and whispered; don't forget to leave a little time for just me and you so we can get each other. Madison and Benjamin gathered up the boys and along with Brody went home. Brody had no idea what was going on but he was so damn horny all he wanted to do was play with his vent. It felt okay but he felt that something was missing. Bright and early Brody grabbed a sandwich to go from the kitchen and headed out the front door, see you guys later I've got something to do. Madison mumbled under his breath, as long as it's not someone to do. That boy has not slowed down since the party, I don't know what he's up to but his mind is elsewhere he didn't pick up his clothes off the floor. Benny, I expect that from because he is messy but Brody always cleans up his area. Benjamin, if you haven't noticed Brody is growing up and his transition might even be early. Just because Benny had a late transition cycle doesn't mean Brody won't be early. I do not be that, the first two I went through with them, with Benny, I blew it. If Brody comes into cycle father is going to have to handle him. Today call your father and go have a conversation with, he needs to be the one that teaches the boys about what is proper and what is not proper when it comes to the time of their transition. I guess you're right Madison I don't know what I'm thinking, I swear I'm so exhausted I feel like I'm pregnant not you. Have you had your cycle? No, my cycle is not due until next week, plus we have been taking all of the precautions and every time that we get together, we used protection. So far, the protection has not ruptured so I believe that we might be safe. It's more like a sympathy carry; some mates go through everything the weight gains, the puffiness, labor even then they're fine as soon as the baby is born by their mate. Just to be on the safe side stop by the clinic when you're out today take a test to be sure. Okay worrywart I will take a test, let's finish breakfast on a good note before the little ones get up and start bouncing. Brody got up and wandered into the kitchen were his brother and brother-in-law were sat down, that was some party I honestly didn't expect anything at all after I transitioned. What got into father this time? Madison chuckled; this was all Mr. Zach because there is no one that can pull a party together like that within 24 hours but Mr. Zach. As far as the announcement he made it was all on him you should've seen the look on your father's face when he announced that when Ben would take retirement in the future and you would be taking over the programs at the conception center. I would say he was surprised and very shocked, but very proud especially since one of his sons would be taking over. Yes, father Zach pull one over on good old Father, and I can say that I am very proud of my younger brother. Thanks to father Zach we have been brought into the family fold is full siblings. By the way what did Tim say to you if it's not too personal? Benjamin he just wanted to congratulate me and thanked me as a brother for stepping up to the responsibility of running the conception center once father retires, because he said that he did not mind helping out when needed, but he was very busy running the Z1 him and Luther. That's wonderful Brody, I know that things have been rough since dad passed away. The being in the condition that I was and having to shoulder the day-to-day raising of you boys even with Madison's help it's been hell. Our next problem is Brody, you know that he's a free spirit does is he well pleases and I don't know if that will serve him in the future. Benjamin, you do not have to worry about Brody, he may be a free spirit that he knows exactly what he wants and he's going to get what he wants no matter what. You better be ready for a passel of little hybrid nephews, when he starts popping them out. You don't mean, Brody wants a human as a mate? Without a doubt he said just as such, and he wasn't going to take just any run of the mill hard Dick human. He wants his mate to be special, and he's looking already. But he's only 19 he's not old enough and not even transitioned yet. How would he know what he wants? Just where is he right now by chance, he's not at the breakfast table? He said he had something to do and he would see us later. Madison, did you not notice last night at the entire party he was hugged up next to a very cute and young human? He set beside Sam's brother Steve; I didn't see anything unusual did you Madison? He's testing out the waters to see if they are inviting. But you do not have to worry about him doing anything stupid because he's already made the statement, is anyone attempts to gain entry before his second cycle one slip of the blade, they won't enter anyone. When the two of them have sex procreation purposes it will be when it is proper and time. I wouldn't put up such a fuss or ban the young man from the house or from them to seeing each other. You know at 16 humans can legally have sex and so can Genmen but procreation doesn't start till after their cycle. Benny, you think there really destined to be partners? If not partners, fuck buddies and you know what they say fucking, it leads to babies. I am staying clear of Brody and his choice for future as a brother if he asks me, I will give him my opinion that will be very subdued but I'm notifying father this is his territory he needs to step up and be the responsible one. I couldn't agree more my Benjamin, and this time you and father talk don't get in a screaming match again. That will never happen I should've had more respect for him because he is our father and more respect for myself than to allow that to happen. Sounds good to me let's finish breakfast you two. The biscuits and cream sauce are getting cold. Over the next couple of days Brody was out of the house first thing. He did all of his chores and everything else that was expected of him but he did not stick around the house he was too busy with his new friend and showing him everything that the Z1 had to offer. Almost nightfall Brody came bopping in the house. Benjamin and Madison were sitting on the sofa the younger boys were playing in their room. Benjamin inquired; you have a good day today Brody and what were you up to. Steve and I were busy all day between the library and the museum and the interactive displays it takes a long time to take in all of that properly. It can be rushed but you don't learn a lot and Steve wants to learn everything he can about Genmen and genman life. Well, that's wonderful being raised in a human home can have its limitations when it comes to Genmen's knowledge. Besides what else have you two been doing. Well, we ate a few meals, taking a few walks looking the place over I'm showing him everything. But mostly we just have sex. Brody excused himself and went to his room. Benjamin turned to Madison and looked him square in the face. But mostly just have sex? Did you hear what that boy said; but mostly we just have sex. Madison didn't blink I he just picked up the communicator and handed it to Benjamin. Call your father this is his territory to deal with not ours. Benjamin rang up his father. Ben answered the line, hello father I think I need to inform you that Brody is mostly just having sex with Steve you know Sam's younger brother. Benjamin how do you know this to be a fact? We were talking and I asked him what he had been up to and he told me that he was showing Steve around and they had been to the museum and other places but mostly they just have sex with his final words and he went to his room. This is all on you father you are the parent I am the brother. Madison I are staying out of this. Okay as well you should, this is my responsibility to talk to Brody and if need be, talk to Steve also. I appreciate you calling me and I will handle this situation. Very calmly Ben hung up the phone and laid his head slumped over. Zach saw Ben's actions and inquired what was up? You want to know what's up really want to know what is up? That was Benjamin and he told me that I might want to have a talk with my younger son Brody because this human Steve that's visiting and trying to move in to the Z1 so he can get an education. You know the one I'm talking about. Yes, he's a very polite and cordial young man, raise with mannerism and politeness. Well, it seems that He and Brody aren't just exploring the museum and the archives they been exploring each other as his own statement was "But mostly just having sex". What you think about that Zachariah? Ben, take a breath I'm sure that there's a full explanation for that statement. Brody knows to have sex he transitions or he will not grow to his full potential. I don't think that he's that irresponsible no matter what has transpired between him and Steve can be explained. Both come here to the main house sit down together all four of us in the study so that we will not be disturbed and you can keep a cool head. They are two young Zach, both of them do not know anything. They're basically 19 years old each and you do realize that it 16 they are able to have contact of a sexual nature so they're not violating any laws. Is it the best thing for a young genman to let another one on top of him? No, but sometimes it does happen. Let's find out for ourselves, let's send out an invite for breakfast in the morning to both of them here at the main house and when we get through with breakfast will asked him to stay and join us in the private nook. Zach got on his communicator and send a direct message to Brody and Sam, the invitation to breakfast for Brody and a separate one for Steve was sent via his brother's communicator. Okay Ben that will take care of everything 8 AM they will both be here for breakfast then when we complete that it will go on into a private meeting between all four of us. But if you start losing your temper, I will throw your big ass out of the meeting. Okay Zach I understand fully what you're talking about and if I lose my temper I deserve to be put out. At about 10 minutes till 8am the next morning Jarvis let in young Steve and showed him to the breakfast room, three minutes to 8am Brody showed up. Both young men had been shown into the breakfast room, they immediately knew something was up but didn't dare say a word. Ben and Zach walked into the breakfast room like there was no problem in the world and took their seats as the staff brought out the breakfast and set it up on the table. Steve said grace and they began to eat breakfast without any mention of anything other than just basic weather. Zach asked Steve how the planting had gone and was the harvest satisfactory for his family? It went very smoothly this year and because it was gathered at one time, we didn't lose crops and more was available to be marketed. Doing the quick turnaround also helps facilitate the ability to get another crop in the ground per year. Your land management helps show father where we were short on certain nutrients in our soil and how they could be replaced at the time of plowing under then replanting. This has allowed me to be able to come here and learn through attending classes here at the Z1's main ranch. You don't know how thankful I am to be off of that dustbowl that I grew up on. Ben clears throat; and how are you finding Z1 is everything to your liking? Yes, sir I am enjoying my time here and the people that I have met. The library and the museum had been very educational for me learning everything that I can about Genmen, who they are where they were originally from and what they're all about. The books that mother had worked old government style books and they painted a totally different picture. No wonder it's taken so long for humans and Genmen to come together as friends and more because of all the misinformation there is spread around. The meal went very well and the boys did need a lot. As everyone finished up Zach stood up and made the announcement. Now that we have finished our breakfast, we now need to go to the private reading room so that the four of us can sit down and have a discussion. And young men this is not an option. Brody and Steve both got a sinking feeling in the pits of their stomachs. They had been fattened up for the sacrifice. As the four entered the private reading room Jarvis close the doors behind them. Ben just looked at them both and smiled, he couldn't say anything or he would say too much he could feel it bubbling below the surface so he looked at Zach and nodded his head. Zach cleared his throat to get their attention, both of them were like rackknars in the middle-of-the-road in the headlights of oncoming transit buses ready to be blasted out of existence. I would like to ask you one simple question both and think about it before you answer. Just exactly what have the two of you been thinking doing what you have? Brody confidently looked at Father Zach; Sir I will not apologize for anything that has taken place between Steve and I. Like I told Benjamin we have mostly been having sex and I enjoy it and so does he. Zach nodded his head; now that we have that out of the way have you boys been safe? Brody looked at Steve and they both started to laugh. Ben could not hold his tongue anymore bordered out I don't see what the big joke is, there are major consequences that can happen when it comes to having sex especially for you Brody pre-transitional sex. Brody got his composure, father you do not have to worry about anything. He has not gotten on top nor have I straddled him that won't happen until after I had finished my second cycle. You have Nothing to worry about. Ben and Zach both looked at the boys a little stunned. If there has been no penetration, how can you have sex or claim you're having sex? Father your little behind the times, have you ever heard of a hand job, fellatio, ventilingus. There are many ways to have sex without the physical act of penetration which is in our generation considered fucking. We are both very careful with what we do and when we start getting a little too rambunctious one of us. The other there will be no full force anything. Steve spoke; Sam and Chip or paying the price for a rushed and reckless attempted having sex. If you ask me, they both got what they were really desired someone to share their love with and raises their own. And that's fine for them, they have to tell my parents what goes on between Brody and myself is just that our business until we bring our relationship out in the open and make our commitment to each other. I have no desire to look at anyone else but Brody, I know he still has to mature out to the transition process and that I must stay away from him for two days after he does transition so that the pheromones will not suck me back in to something stupid like ruining our chances at school. Becoming parents is not a problem will make that adjustment when it happens but were not going to be stupid about it. So. when you were telling Benjamin and Madison you two were having sex in every chance available you were talking about alternatives sex not full-blown reproductive sex? Yes, father that's exactly what I meant and we borrowed a room or two at the conception center. We're not Racknars we don't do it just anywhere we do have class. Yes, we do have class were not like my younger brother Isaiah. Ben looked at Steve, Isaiah the one that 16 turning 17 what's he got to do with this? You can't tell anybody Mr. Ben and I mean nobody this is Isaiah's place to tell her parents Sam doesn't even know about it. I wouldn't found out about it if I hadn't noticed certain attributes. Isaiah is fancy, and for almost a year since he turned 16, he and the postman have been having a go at it every time he goes to get the mail on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It doesn't matter if we have anything expected he goes and meets the 19-year-old right off the roadway so that they can have butt sex. I noticed a stain on the back of his pants one day and there was blood so I questioned him. Broke down and told me everything, nothing was forced, it was mutual but the first couple of times it was hard for Isaiah to accept Shia. When he turns 18, he plans on setting them both down and telling our parents what he plans to be in life and that he's leaving out to move in with Shia and they will live his mates. I asked what about children they wanted to have children what they would do about that? He said they had discussed about raising families in either they will attempt to adopt one from an orphanage or they will pay someone to have a child for them and surrender it one of them as the father. He showed me ads where there are individuals willing to have hybrid children are pure human children if you have enough credits. You mean people pay for the privilege of going through a pregnancy just to get the child questioned Ben? Yes Mr. Ben when you're hungry do a lot of things that you're not proud of, and caring a child is not a disgrace if you can help someone else's dream come true. Well, you can get word to Isaiah and Shia that when the time comes that they wish to raise a family and give the child a loving and stable home they don't have to pay some individual that might rip them off or earn credits. They just need to come out one and talk to us, our conception program here helps childless human and Genmen families fulfil their destiny. Isaiah is not like Sam and myself he smaller like mom, we take after dad. But I don't think that would be a problem once everything is settled down letting him come for only a weekend watching him closely so that he's not tempted. Explore the Z1 and find out what it's all about let him talk to you Mr. Ben about his future as a parent. Maybe Shia would like to join him, Steve. They can come out to Sam and tell him everything before he discusses it with your parents. Oh, I know he would love that and allowing Shia to attend would be a bonus. Well now that we have all this out of our way, I think you two young men have a lot more to discuss whole lot more to explore here on the Z1. And you need to come clean with Sam, I know it might be rough the way we're going to get this out in the open. Ben stood up and hugged his son and then he hugged Steve and welcome to the family. Zach hugged Brody and told him that he was proud of what he had found in life. I knew Ben with my forever even before that fateful night. We strayed that we're now back together and that's where were going to stay. I am so proud to have all you boys in our family together. Brody and Steve live private reading area and they were going to head over to Steve and Chip's house. Steve told Brody that; we might as well go ahead and pour the salt on this wound first, after this the other one will be easier because you've already let the rackknar out of the bag. I forgot to ask you one thing? What is that May I ask of you? When I transition, and we get together, just where are we going to live? Brody, we have a few months, I'm sure by the time get ready to start transitioning we will have a place all picked out and ready. As the two were discussing living arrangements Brody's communicator indicated he had a message, it was from Zach. The message read; Section E- cottage 47, it's all yours. You and Steve will have a beautiful life. See the pamphlets in the kitchen for instructions on ordering your furnishings. Love Ya, Z. Brody could not believe his eyes were seeing, he showed it to Steve and the two embraced in a hug. Let's go see it Brody, I've never had anything of my own. What's even better it will be ours. Steve there's no going back, I want to get this clear to you right now. We commit to each other it's for life, I'm not the kind of person that wants something now and then want something else later. And I would not have it any other way Brody, next year or so our commitment is to our educations and each other and when it comes time to welcome a little one, it's to our family. The Z1 will be our family as it is yours now. Stephen Brody's hand is in the two young men walked towards their future.
