Subject: Zachary All Grown Up Chapter 91 Zachary All Grown UP Chapter 91 By JJ [ ail ] I DISCOVERED NIFTY IN 1997-8. IT WAS STILL A GROWING SITE. IT GAVE ME HOURS OF EXCELLENT READING AND COUNTLESS LOADS!!! THIS IS IF NOT THE BEST FREE SITE. LET’S ALL DO OUR PART TO KEEP IT GOING STRONG. PLEASE DONATE!! Chapter 91 After I finished prepping the French toast casseroles for tomorrow I got Stephen into the shower. He was in a great mood singing as he went up the stairs and all the while he was in the shower. Zachary came up with warm towels for him and as he scampered past him to get dressed he whacked him on the butt. Zachary was going to take his shower next. I was holding off only for the fact I had to get DJ later. I asked ‘What movies are we watching?’ Stephen answered ‘I have three for tonight and tomorrow. I got ‘A Christmas Story’ and two of DJ’s favorites ‘The Polar Express’ and ‘Eloise at Christmas’.’ I say ‘I forgot about those you never brought them over.’ Stephen says ‘I have watched them with DJ and the other two or on TV a lot.’ I nod that I understand. I run up with warm towels for Zachary and we get in a little ‘touchy feely’ session till I hear Stephen coming back upstairs. Stephen says ‘It is too quiet downstairs.’ I am putting an extra blanket out and say ‘How many blankets do you think DJ and you will need?’ Stephen answers ‘We have two on our beds at home plus Mom leaves a quilt out in case we get cold. It should be warm with DJ he is hairy like you.’ I laugh ‘Let’s go downstairs.’ When Zachary comes down they start watching ‘A Christmas Story’. I get together a dish of cookies for them as they are watching the movie about half way through I yell to come and have some dessert. There were chunks of the gingerbread house and cookies that Maria and Andrea made. Stephen says ‘Our gingerbread house is gone. Eric and I ate the last of it when I was home.’ I say ‘That is good I will try to get them again next year.’ They go back to the movie and it is almost time for DJ to call. DJ calls a little after nine telling me to come get them. I find the place with no problem and he and three friends get in. They are kind of quiet and talking amongst themselves about school on Tuesday and starting training again. I smell beer but I wait till we drop the first guy off and I say before he gets out of the truck ‘I don’t know who drank and I don’t care but you guys smell of beer and smoke a word of advice when you get in jump in the shower brush your teeth and air out your clothes.’ The three friends say ‘Thanks DJ’s grandfather.’ I drop the other two friends off and on the way back DJ is quiet. I ask ‘Did I embarrass you in front of your buds?’ DJ smiles ‘No Papa you were pretty cool. I only had one beer and split another with Tim.’ I asked ‘Who was smoking?’ DJ answered ‘That was all of them except me. Papa there was booze there but I didn’t like the taste of it and I’m not that crazy about beer either.’ I say ‘Good a lot of those things are an acquired taste but don’t do it because you are afraid of being made fun of.’ DJ says ‘Meat was there and he was hammered I don’t think his Dad will be happy when he gets home.’ I laughed ‘Great I will have to hear about it at work.’ We walk in and DJ says ‘Stephen I have to take a shower and I will be down.’ Stephen says ‘Okay we saved you some gingerbread.’ DJ showers and comes down in sweats and a tee. He nibbles at some gingerbread and Stephen is right there quizzing him I leave them alone. Zachary and I can hear Stephen ask ‘What did you do there? Were there girls? Let me see if you have any ‘love bites’. What games did you play?’ DJ patiently answered all the questions and even let him look for ‘love bites.’ Stephen asks ‘What movie do you want to watch? DJ answers ‘Can we watch them tomorrow? I would really like to go to bed it is late even for you.’ Stephen says ‘I am tired too.’ I come back into the kitchen and DJ says ‘Papa we are going up to bed.’ I say ‘So are we.’ They hug me and say goodnight to Zachary and head upstairs. I lock up and turn everything off and we head up. Zachary goes into our room and I go in and check on the boys and put an extra blanket on the bureau for them. As we are laying there I can hear whispering and giggling. Zachary nudges me and I nudge him with my boner. It doesn’t take long and it is quiet. I kiss Zachary and we fall asleep. I am up at five I head down to the cellar and get on the treadmill then do a little lifting. I make three packages of turkey bacon pull the French toast out to get to room temperature put coffee on and go up and shower. I look in on the grandsons and they are sound asleep. DJ is sleeping on his left side and Stephen is behind him hugging him. I go back out and grab my phone and snap two photos. I go into my bedroom drop my towel and get under the covers. Zachary turns over and smiles and says ‘What took you so long I heard the shower stop a while ago.’ I say ‘I took a few photos of the boys to embarrass them with when they get older. By the way Happy New Year.’ Zachary smiles ‘Happy New Year and uggh work in two days.’ I laugh ‘Now you sound like Stephen.’ We kiss and I slip my boner under is balls. We both moan and Zachary says ‘We have to wait till tonight the boys may wake up.’ I say ‘Whoa look at you being the responsible adult.’ He answers by biting my shoulder and says ‘I should go workout before breakfast.’ I say ‘Yes I figure you will have at least a good hour. I’m not letting them sleep past nine or so they can always nap.’ We get up and head downstairs not before I look in on the other two and now they are facing the other way with DJ holding Stephen and I take another couple of photos. Zachary heads down to the cellar and I settle with a cup of coffee in the living room. I am watching the news and they are calling for a storm for Thursday going into Friday. I chuckle at the fact these kids will probably have a three day weekend coming up. My phone beeps and I get a text from Anthony wishing me a Happy New Year and asking if we are on for shopping tomorrow. I answer be ready for seven. I put the French toast in the oven and grab a coffee and water and go down to the cellar. Zachary is finishing up on the treadmill and is starting to lift. I hand him the water and say ‘Breakfast will be ready in about forty minutes.’ We kiss and I go back upstairs. Zachary comes up twenty minutes later and attempts to sit on my lap. I push him away saying ‘Ewwww you are sweaty and smelly give me a kiss and go and shower.’ He laughs and kisses me fast and at arm’s length and heads upstairs. I grab a towel to warm up in the dryer then head up. I look in on my grandsons DJ is facing me and Stephen is behind and raises his head and smiles. I hear the shower cut off and I knock and give Zachary his towel and a fast smooch. I go back into the boy’s bedroom and say ‘Breakfast will be ready in about fifteen minutes start getting up.’ Stephen says ‘I’m up Papa I’m waiting for Zachary to get out of the bathroom so I can pee.’ DJ says ‘Me too.’ I laugh his eyes are still shut. I say ‘Okay.’ Going downstairs I hear Zachary come out of the bathroom and go into our bedroom and Stephen run for the bathroom. Stephen comes downstairs and says ‘Happy New Year Papa.’ Before I can answer Zachary comes down and Stephen says ‘Happy New Year Zachary.’ Zachary says ‘Happy New Year Stephen and Jared.’ I say ‘Okay same to both of you, go get your brother up.’ Stephen hurries back upstairs and we can hear laughing and giggling then someone fell on the floor. It’s quiet then you hear a loud fart. DJ says ‘Ewwww Stephen gross you better go check your underwear.’ Stephen laughs and says ‘I can’t I’m not wearing any. You know you aren’t supposed to wear underwear under your pajamas. But I have to go to the bathroom anyway.’ I hear him run and after a few minutes DJ says ‘Did everything come out alright?’ Stephen laughs ‘Yep it did I’m real hungry now.’ They both come downstairs and sit at the island. I look at them and ask ‘Who’s hungry?’ They both answer ‘We are.’ I put everything out and say ‘Dig in’ to the older ones and make Stephen his plate. Stephen says ‘Papa you do make the best breakfasts.’ DJ and Zachary both agree. Stephen asks ‘Papa can I stay over tonight again and maybe DJ too?’ I say ‘You have to ask your parents they might want you to get use to going to bed early and getting up early.’ DJ says ‘Stephen I can’t tonight I have to finish reading a book before Tuesday and I don’t want to spend my last day doing that. But if you sleep home I will stay with you in your room and read it to you.’ He rolled his eyes but that seemed to pacify him. I ask ‘What are you guys going to do today?’ DJ says ‘Can I use the treadmill and weights after breakfast?’ I say ‘Of course anytime.’ Stephen says ‘Watch the movies with you, Zachary and DJ.’ Now it was time for DJ to roll his eyes. I wasn’t going to mention the snow storm it was still four days away and a lot can happen. Everyone helps clean up the breakfast mess and DJ heads down to the cellar and Stephen goes up to get dressed and help Zachary with the chores. When they come down I tell Stephen to call his parents and to see what they are up to today. DJ runs up to shower and Zachary says ‘Bring down your towels and what you are wearing.’ DJ says ‘Okay but I can wash the clothes I know how now.’ Zachary says ‘Okay it is all yours.’ I figure I’m not going to worry about lunch and supper until I find out what is up with my grandsons. After laundry is started and all chores are done I remind Stephen to call his parents just before they sit to watch the movies. The house phone rings and I know who it is I have Stephen answer. After they exchange Happy New Year, Stephen says ‘But Ma why? There is silence and then ‘Mom, Papa says I can but Ma I can do that here.’ DJ comes in and Stephen covers the phone and says ‘Andrea wants us home for supper and I have to sleep home to get use to going to school and you too.’ DJ whispers ‘Don’t give her a hard time. You do this and when you ask for something else sometime you can remind her of this.’ Stephen looked confused but did what DJ suggested and says ‘Okay we will be home for supper.’ When he hung up DJ explained the ins and outs of compromising to him. I don’t know if he got it completely but because DJ had said it was so it was good enough for him. As I’m sitting at the island having my coffee Stephen comes over and says ‘Papa we have to go home for supper and to sleep.’ I say ‘I know but you have slept here quite a few times while you were on vacation and I’m sure you will be here for breakfast tomorrow. I’m going shopping tomorrow is there anything in particular you want for supper on Wednesday.’ Stephen says ‘I want rigatoni with ricotta and meatballs.’ I answer ‘That’s good we haven’t had that in a while.’ All of us spent the rest of the day watching movies, playing checkers and talking to each other. Around four-thirty I tell them to get their things together and I will walk home with them. Stephen kind of sulked and I say to him ‘You two can come for breakfast and think about it is not like you are going back to Virginia.’ Stephen moans ‘But Papa I have to go to school and I only am here two nights for supper.’ I moan back and mimic him ‘But grandson I have to work every day so it won’t make a difference. You will still get to see Noni every day and DJ and Eric.’ Stephen giggles ‘I guess you are right.’ I say ‘Of course I am right let’s walk the long way home.’ We go home the long way there are a lot of trees on the curbs but nearly half the people still have their lights up. Stephen cheerfully says ‘Mom kept the candles in the window.’ DJ says ‘She did it for you. I heard her tell Dad they were staying up till Three King’s. Now you see aren’t you glad you didn’t give her a real hard time about coming home.’ Stephen mumbles ‘Yeah I guess.’ We go in and Andrea is frying pork chops and green peppers. I talk for a while and when I leave I tell all my grandsons they are all welcome to come for breakfast. I say ‘Stephen call me when you get up but make sure I am back from shopping. Andrea do you need anything?’ My daughter answers she is going herself tomorrow for lunches for the week. I hug everyone and leave. On my way home I know how Stephen feels I have that same feeling in the pit of my stomach Christmas is over and it is back to work but for me and hopefully him it passes once we get to work and school. I walk in and Zachary is making a big salad using up all the veggies that won’t make it through the week. He says ‘Not for anything but the house is empty when he isn’t here.’ I laugh ‘You say that all the time and it is true but our lives go back to normal by the next morning. I don’t want us to lose that feeling of being a couple not parents or in my case grandparents as much as I miss him, we need our time too. It’s not only about the sex but think back when you lived here playing a game, watching TV, the things just the two of us did. I’m not into ‘PDA’s’ but you know what I am saying.’ Zachary answers ‘I know what you are saying but I also want you to know I have no problem with any of the boys being here. I know what they are experiencing I was them at that age.’ I laughed ‘Until you realized you could do more with your dick than just pee.’ Zachary blushes ‘Soo true but that wasn’t all of it. I promise you I give you my word I will speak up if ever I feel we are getting lost in the shuffle or not having any time to ourselves.’ I say ‘Your word?’ Zachary says ‘My word. Listen as long as I’m with you I don’t care what we are doing. I have felt that way since I was small and you held me. The smell of Dove soap, coffee and cigarettes that was my security blanket.’ I laugh and say ‘I love you.’ He smiles and says ‘I know that and I love you.’ After we clean up after dinner he is sitting on my lap and we are picking on the last of the gingerbread house. I am adding veggies to my shopping list and ask ‘What do you want for breakfast?’ Zachary answers ‘Seeing it everyone’s last day before school and work how about waffles, bacon and eggs?’ I say ‘Great idea. I can make the waffles in between stores and knock off the bacon too or maybe before I leave in the morning. If all the boys don’t come we can take them to work or have them for supper one night.’ The two of us go into the living room we sit there with the tree and Christmas music on. I am quiet and lost in my own head. Zachary knowingly says ‘Are you getting a little nostalgic and sad?’ I say ‘You know me too well.’ Zachary says ‘I don’t want to pry will you tell me what you are thinking about.’ I chuckle ‘I can tell you. It really isn’t any big secret if you are interested it is just memories.’ I start ‘I think I have told you New Year was always kind of sad for me. When I was a kid it meant all of Christmas was put away and going back to school. ankara escort Christmas had a smell back then there was something in the air. Between the baking and smell of balsam. I seldom saw the excitement of celebrating New Years. Then as you get older it is the people and things that are no longer there. Like learning there isn’t a Santa Claus, my grandparents, my wife Carol, my parents, and your Mom passing then watching you, my kids, Anthony, and soon Stephen growing up and losing your innocence. So what I do is try to remember stuff that has happened. I know it sounds nuts and like I am losing it but there are times I wish there was time travel there are things I would like to relive.’ Zachary says ‘Tell me what you would like to relive.’ I say ‘There are so many. I have to show a photo of my grandfather he was a semi professional boxer in his youth. I was his favorite I was the first grandson he insisted I have an American name. He was so proud to be an American I have his middle name but he picked out Jared. He bought me my first tricycle and my first two-wheeler. I went everywhere with him in his big Lincoln. My grandmother was the one who took me to Radio City for Christmas for like three years. My grandfather loved the holiday. Zachary says ‘That is where the boxing comes in.’ I say ‘Yes my Dad and my Uncles and I think one of my Aunts were taught by him. Actually Anthony is named after him. On my Mom’s side was where I learned bocce that was what her family played. My Dad was city my Mom was suburbs he had no clue about bocce.’ I continue ‘As you have seen in the home movies my parents were great just like your grandparents. They loved all of us even Michael.’ Zachary says ‘From the countless times I have seen them you have a lot of your parents in you and so does Anthony. It had to be fun growing up in your house.’ I laugh ‘For the most part but we were at times like a dysfunctional Waltons.’ Zachary laughs ‘Do you think that Marcie, Sarah, and Michael will ever come around?’ I laugh ‘It’s selfish but I really don’t care if they do or not. My life is so filled with you, my children, grandchildren, Anthony and Charlie it doesn’t matter to me. It’s sad that we aren’t close but after what happened in the summer these are people I really don’t need or want to be around. Hey did you ever wish your Dad a Happy New Year?’ Zachary answers ‘Yes when you took the boys home. He may come home some time in February. All his projects are going smooth and on track. Plus he wants to stay close with my grandparents and me. He told me how Poppy’s brother was put in a rest home a couple of days after Christmas they couldn’t keep him home anymore. My Dad found out from his cousin so I don’t know if my grandparents know or not.’ I say ‘I’m sure they know but are probably still learning how to adjust to it.’ Zachary says ‘After breakfast tomorrow I am going over to see them.’ I say ‘That is a good idea.’ We go up to shower and of course have sex while we are in there. When we came out he went and stripped the bed in Stephen’s room to get a head start on his chores tomorrow and I went downstairs and pulled bacon out of the freezer and made sure everything was locked up. Zachary was already in bed waiting for me as I dropped my towel and got into bed he whistled. I laughed and say ‘Thanks.’ He asks ‘What can I do for breakfast tomorrow?’ I answer ‘Nothing unless I am running behind or late right now everything is under control. I will wake you if I need to.’ He kisses me and turns over and we spoon and fall asleep. I was up and out of bed at 5:30 got dressed and went down and got everything set up for breakfast. I broiled off three packages of turkey bacon and left to get Anthony. Anthony asked ‘Do you know about the storm maybe coming at the end of the week?’ I answered ‘Yes but if that is so the only thing I may need to get is gas and milk depending on the dates in BJ’s.’ Anthony says ‘Same here but I can always go first thing in the morning so if you need anything let me know.’ I answer ‘Thanks, have you heard from Charlie?’ Anthony answers ‘Not since the three of us talked. I’m sure he still has company tomorrow everyone goes back to work, life, etc. How are you doing with it?’ I smile ‘Last night I had my meltdown and I talked it through with Zachary.’ Anthony says ‘Mine will be today I haven’t had time to think about it.’ I laugh ‘That is good isn’t it. I was thinking I want to go to the cemetery after breakfast and get all grave pillows if we get a lot of snow I will lose them. Do you want to come? Could I store them in your garage if you have room? There are only three the fourth Zachary keeps at Mario’s.’ Anthony says ‘Jared of course I have plenty of room even if I buy a lot of lights over the summer on EBay. Bro you have competition now?’ I laugh ‘I will tell you when I see some cords that are a good deal.’ We finish at Shoprite and head home I drop him off and he says ‘I will be back in forty minutes or so.’ I’m home I unload, put everything away and start making the waffles. I made thirty waffles in case all four grandsons show up. I put on coffee right before I left so it will be fresh. I check on Zachary and all I see is the top of his head. I take the sheets from Stephen/Zachary’s bed and the towels from our showers and start laundry. I just about get that started and Anthony is here. Before I get into Anthony’s truck I look over at Stephen’s window and he his waving I wave back. I say ‘Geez Anthony I forgot to tell you Stephen almost broke Stuart’s nose and gave him a black eye.’ Anthony says ‘I don’t believe it when? why? Jared is this a joke?’ I answer ‘Christmas night after we came back from your house. I brought him home and Stuart walked in and made fun of the gloves Maria got him. Stuart called him gay and a baby. In a flash he hauled off and hit him in the nose. We were all shocked then his nose started to bleed like a faucet and Andrea got him to the bathroom. I think Stuart was the most surprised. Evidently Stuart has been bullying Stephen and his friend at school and even Eric at times. Well later when Stephen and I were in his room looking at his tree and things. Stuart came in to apologize and Anthony he looked at him like he was nothing and told him that if he bothers him, Eric or his friends he will do it again. Then tells him he hopes his nose gets better. Never apologized nothing went back to what he was doing like Stuart didn’t exist.’ Anthony says ‘Ooh time to get out the boxing gloves do you still have them? Jared does he remind you of anyone?’ I answer ‘I got the gloves in a tub in my garage. My concern is that Stuart is going to turn into a full blown Michael and Andrea already reminded me that two of her sons are a lot like me and you.’ Anthony laughs ‘My two boys are all Becky they only one who may be like me is the youngest.’ I say ‘Well he is built like us and is very mellow.’ I went on how Stephen prevented Stuart from getting punished and that made Anthony laugh at his ulterior motive. Anthony says ‘Smart guy I would have done the same thing.’ I say ‘Well there is one more thing. I had told Zachary on Christmas Eve when we got home from dinner that I thought seeing that it was a year we had been engaged that we should go away and get married some weekend before spring. Zachary answered that he wanted to wait he was in no hurry blah-blah. I figured if he was fine with it so was I whatever he wanted. Then I was telling Zachary what went on later in bed and he got quiet. I wanted to know what was wrong.’ Anthony says ‘Well did he tell you?’ I answer ‘Yes he told me this is why he is in no hurry to get married. That if Stephen reacted to Stuart calling him gay what will he do when someone calls him or me gay or worse not only him but even DJ and Eric. He told me when we get married he wants everyone there even you. Now I get what Maria and Zachary’s father Dan meant about putting this on these kid’s shoulders they are too young. I can understand Zachary feeling either all or nothing.’ Anthony says ‘I agree the kids today have it rough enough without more problems and you are lucky that you have someone that loves you so much that is willing to live in sin.’ I laugh ‘You are an ass. But I do agree with you I am very lucky.’ We get to BJ’s and are in out of the store in less time than Shoprite. We know what we want and even if it is crowded there is plenty of room to maneuver. Anthony stops at his house and we bring in his stuff and put most of it away. When we get to my house I look across the road and don’t see Stephen at his window but the shade is up so I know he is awake. Anthony and I bring all my groceries in and get them put away. The phone rings and of course it is Stephen. He tells me three grandsons are coming in about fifteen minutes and DJ will come later. I say ‘We should eat in the dining room.’ and grab something to cover the table. Anthony gets everything to set the table and as we are sitting at the island having our coffee. I hear them on the back deck. They all say good morning and Happy New Year to Anthony. I say ‘Go in and pour yourself some juice while I get things ready. Who wants an egg with their waffles and bacon?’ They all answer yes including Anthony. I make seven eggs over easy and they put them on top of their waffles. Anthony remarks to me that Stuart’s eye is still noticeable and the nose looks almost back to normal. We eat and talk about school tomorrow and the two older are excited about getting back to their A/V club and other things. I did notice that Stuart is quiet and did help Stephen with his juice which he did thank him. As everyone was having seconds Zachary came down and joined us. I ask ‘What is DJ doing?’ Stephen says ‘Something about football. Eric tell Papa.’ Eric says ‘Papa today he has to do some workouts with the coach.’ Zachary speaks up ‘It is for the guys that aren’t playing basketball you have to stay in some kind of training to keep fit until spring training.’ Eric says ‘Yeah that’s it unless DJ decides to run track or play baseball.’ Anthony asks ‘Is he?’ Stephen says ‘No he hates running and baseball is boring.’ I say ‘How do you know? He runs on the treadmill here.’ Stephen laughs ‘Papa he told me last night and he goes on the treadmill so he doesn’t get fat.’ Anthony says ‘Well Jared you got your answer.’ I laugh ‘I guess so.’ Stuart says ‘Papa can I use the treadmill sometime.’ I look at both Stuart and Eric and say ‘If you two decide you are going to do track or cross country in high school you are more than welcome to use it but no shenanigans that treadmill cost me a lot.’ Both say ‘Thanks Papa.’ Stuart says ‘Papa I am done is it okay if I go I have some things I want to get done,’ I answer ‘Of course.’ Stuart gets up and takes his plate and glass and says ‘Thanks for breakfast it was real good.’ He leaves and then comes back and hugs me and leaves again.’ I say ‘Stuart seems to have lost some of his attitude.’ Anthony says ‘It is surprising what a punch in the nose can do.’ Eric and Stephen nudge each other and giggle. I say ‘You two if you want this to stop you are not to antagonize Stuart about it or it won’t end. Stephen you told him already if he bothers you or anyone else again oyu will punch him so leave it at that.’ Eric asks ‘You did?’ Stephen answers ‘He came up that night to my room and said he was sorry and I told him if he bothers you or my friends or me I will do it again.’ Eric says ‘Bro you are like a little tough guy.’ Stephen says ‘I got tired of him being an ass.’ Eric’s eyes got big at that and Stephen realizes what he said says ‘Sorry Papa I meant tired of him acting like a tool.’ At this point Anthony and Zachary are about to lose it. I ask ‘What are you guys going to do today?’ Eric says ‘Mom wants us ot clean our rooms and get our clothes set for tomorrow and bed early.’ I look at Stephen and he shrugs ‘Yes Andrea put up a list of chores for us to do every day.’ Anthony asks ‘Andrea?’ Eric says ‘Stephen and DJ call her that to make her laugh.’ Stephen says ‘Papa I have to clean my room but can I come back later and maybe eat here?’ I answer ‘If your parents say you can I have no problem with it.’ Eric says ‘Come on if you are ready let’s get it over with I will help oyu after I do my side of the room.’ Stephen says ‘Ok and thanks.’ They help us clear the table and leave. I give them some waffles and bacon to take home for DJ and tell Stephen to call when he is finished. Zachary starts cleaning upstairs and Anthony and I take care of breakfast dishes. I grab and old tote to put the centerpieces in and Anthony and I leave for the cemetery. Anthony says ‘You know listening and watching my kids and your grandkids it is like living my life all over.’ I say ‘I get that. With DJ I watch how he handles them and have guided him when he gets frustrated with the ‘mother duck’ syndrome. Anthony adds ‘But he is lucky he has only one obstinate one you had two and at times three.’ I laugh ‘Yes and when they reached a certain age I didn’t care what they did unless it was something to bother you.’ Anthony laughed ‘You were my savior if I couldn’t handle them myself. Do you think we will ever be a family again with them?’ I look at him and answer ‘Honestly I don’t care if I hear or talk to any of them again. Don’t let that stop you from talking to them. You got close to Marci as you two got older.’ Anthony answers ‘No I do not like the person she has become. Becky never sent a Christmas card and we never received one so I guess that says it all.’ At the cemetery Anthony gets quiet again. I put my hand on his back and rub it he turns and looks at me with tears in his eyes. I shake my head take him in my arm hug him and say ‘What am I going to do with you?’ Anthony buries his head in my chest and cries for a minute. Breaking free he says ‘You forget until we moved back down here I never came that often sometimes only once year if that. This is another thing that we all depended on you to take care of.’ I answer ‘This is something I have always done I did it with them for our grandparents and now I do it for them but also for me and no one else. I have never expected anyone’s or wanted anyone’s help this is my way of staying close to them giving them my love and respect.’ Anthony says ‘I told you before I wanted to be part of this with you. I never realized how being here I can actually feel them.’ I say ‘You can come with me whenever you want or even by yourself and I won’t care if you cry. I get it.’ Anthony says ‘Thanks.’ We make the rounds and stop at his house and we put the tote in his garage. I would have walked home but I have Zachary’s Mom piece so Anthony took me home and came in for a coffee. I left the cemetery piece on the deck. Anthony asks ‘Where is Zachary?’ I answer ‘Across the street to see the grandparents. Dan told him on New Year’s that they had to put Mario’s brother in a home a few days escort ankara after Christmas. I guess the family found it too hard to take care of him so Zachary went to see how they were dealing with it.’ Anthony says ‘That sucks but that is becoming the norm now.’ I ask ‘Not that I mind the company but this is the longest we have been together in I don’t know how long.’ Anthony laughs ‘Well the boys have to get their homework and everything set for tomorrow. Becky is getting hers and theirs clothes ready for the week and she has to make sure her planning book is up to date. So I have a chance to spend time with my older brother.’ I say ‘I never asked how the boys are adjusting to living around down here?’ Anthony says ‘They love it. They walk to school have friends living around us. It isn’t like where we were before.’ I say ‘Eric and DJ have said the same thing.’ I say ‘We are going away for the MLK weekend. I need to get away just the two of us. Found a nice inn in Vermont to spend two nights and come home on Sunday and still have Monday to ourselves.’ Anthony says ‘That is good you guys are like a married couple you are never alone. Not that it is a bad thing well you know what I mean.’ I laugh ‘Yes I have more of a problem with it then Zachary he loves the boys being around and as he puts it we still shower and sleep together. Our relationship is too fresh to get into the rut of being like a married couple.’ Anthony laughs and says ‘Aren’t you afraid of missing these boys grow up?’ It was my turn to laugh and I answer ‘Did I miss any part of your life? Before they moved up here I had a different relationship with each one of them. Now that they are here my relationship with DJ has rekindled after all he was born here and he and Stephen are so much like you and me that I get to the point where they bring tears to my eyes. Now Eric has joined that group I always felt guilty that I may have slighted him and Stuart but he assured me that wasn’t the case but being up here he has developed the personality of the other two. The only odd man out is Stuart. Sr. thinks he is also like one of his brothers who is selfish and stubborn so I guess between that and our Michael there had to be one.’ Anthony says ‘No you never missed anything in my life and I doubt if you will miss anything in theirs or that they will allow you to. I see Eric has gotten close with Stephen and DJ and even Stuart was different this morning. So maybe the punch in the nose may have given him something to think about.’ I answer ‘I hope so. But even Michael had times he was tolerable.’ We both laugh at that and Anthony says ‘Geez what a whiner.’ We talked a little more about our jobs and life and Anthony left it was after two. I was ready for a nap and just got on the couch when the house phone rang. It was Stephen. I hear ‘Papa I can come for supper but I can’t stay too late. I have to be showered and in bed for 7:30.’ I say ‘Okay I will meet you in two minutes.’ I think so much for my nap but then again I will be ready for bed early myself. I grab my jacket and hat and I take the grave piece to being over to Mario’s. Stephen is waiting for me and DJ is with him. I ask ‘Are you coming for supper too?’ DJ says ‘No Papa I just wanted to thank you for the waffles and bacon and to say hi.’ I say ‘You are welcome I missed you this morning. You know you can use the treadmill and weights anytime you want. You have a key.’ DJ says ‘Thanks I might sometimes the school weight room gets crowded.’ I say ‘The only thing not so much with the treadmill but if you are going to lift you have to bring Eric or Stephen with you just in case. I insist on that.’ DJ says ‘No problem I will.’ Stephen says ‘Me me bring me and Papa did you go to the cemetery without me?’ DJ says ‘I will bring you and Eric so he can start learning how to lift. Well Papa I got to get ready for tomorrow see you later.’ DJ leaves. I answer ‘Uncle Anthony wanted to go so while we were there we cleaned everything up in case it snows.’ Stephen says ‘Oh.’ We go onto Mario’s back deck and Maria comes out as I am putting the grave piece on the picnic table. Maria says ‘Come in I haven’t seen you two in a couple of days.’ You don’t have to ask Stephen twice he is ahead of me. Stephen hugs her and says ‘Noni school tomorrow am I still coming here right?’ Maria answers ‘I’m not sure I have to see what your Mom says but you will be here Wednesday because your brothers have their meeting. Do you want a glass of eggnog? Jared would you like coffee? I decline but of course Stephen accepts. I ask ‘Where is Zachary?’ Maria answers ‘They are downstairs putting some things away.’ I ask ‘How are you and Mario doing?’ Maria says ‘We both knew it was inevitable but when it actually happens I don’t think anyone is ready. Basically it is a death for the reason that person is gone. Mario did talk to him Christmas day and it was fine and then all of a sudden the conversation made no sense at all. We are going to go out there in the spring or maybe earlier if Dan comes home.’ I offer that if they wanted to go sooner Zachary and I would take them. Maria thanks me but says Dan will take them he is his godson. Zachary and Mario come upstairs and are surprised to see us. I tell them the grave piece is on the deck and Zachary goes and gets it and brings it down the cellar. Mario asks ‘Stephen are you ready for school tomorrow?’ Stephen answers ‘No I want to stay home and be here with you and Noni.’ Mario laughs ‘Once you get there tomorrow you will be glad you went.’ Stephen says ‘That is what everyone keeps saying to me. I’m going to be mad if it doesn’t happen.’ Mario laughed again and rubbed Stephen’s head. I say ‘Well let’s get going before you know. It will be time for you to go home.’ The three of us say our goodbyes and leave. When we get home I light the grill it will be lamb chops, asparagus and sweet potatoes. Zachary takes care of the veggies as I cook the chops. The three of us sit and eat and it is quiet. I ask ‘What do you want to take for lunch the lamb chops or waffles or do you want a salad I got a lot of veggies today?’ Zachary says ‘Salads let’s eat light. I got our gym bags already packed and our workout clothes out. All that is left is to get our lunch boxes.’ I say ‘Stephen see you aren’t the only one going back to life.’ Stephen says ‘Yeah I guess so.’ Stephen and Zachary have cookies for dessert. I ask ‘Do you have any cookies for your school lunch?’ Stephen says ‘I think so. Mom took some out of the freezer today for us.’ Zachary says ‘I’m sure Noni will be making cookies this week for you.’ Around six I tell Stephen it is time to go and he hugs and tells Zachary goodnight. Zachary says ‘Don’t worry bud tomorrow will be fine.’ Stephen doesn’t answer. Without asking we take the long way home there are only eight houses that are still decorated and lit nad three of those were Stephen’s Mario’s and mine. I say ‘Well eight are better than none.’ Again no answer from Stephen and I squat down and look at him and feel his forehead and he laughs. I say ‘You are too quiet. I wanted to make sure you weren’t sick.’ Stephen says ‘No Papa I am tired. I didn’t nap today. I was playing with DJ.’ I say ‘Good you will sleep good tonight.’ We go inside and the kitchen counter is filled with lunch boxes and Eric and Stuart are already in their pajamas. They say ‘Hi’ and go in to watch TV. DJ comes down from taking his shower and puts his school books on the counter. DJ says ‘Hi Papa, Stephen let’s get you in the shower so we have a little time before bed.’ Stephen perks up and says ‘Okay but Papa can you stay till I get out I want to show you something in my room.’ I say ‘Of course if you hurry.’ They both take off and Andrea and Sr. and I talk as she is finishing up the boy’s lunches. Sr. says ‘Jared you know I am so happy we moved back up here. I can’t believe the change in my sons. It has done them a world of good.’ I say ‘I have seen that myself even Anthony told me this morning his boys are happier here than where they were up north. It has to be the area.’ Stephen yells he is done for me to come up. I go upstairs and he shows me how Eric got some hay at the party they were at for his nativity. I say it looks good but the fact is I’m not crazy about it. Stephen whispers ‘I don’t like it that much but Eric bothered to get it so I will keep it. I say ‘You have to get rid of it before you put it away it will attract bugs once it gets warm.’ Stephen whispers ‘Good I don’t want Eric to feel bad.’ I say ‘Goodnight.’ and hug him. DJ comes in to watch TV till it is lights out. I leave and tell Andrea about the hay and she tells me she will take of it tonight. I still feel melancholy on my way home. Zachary is waiting for me. He says ‘Jared let’s go it is shower time.’ He takes my hand and brings me upstairs. We take a nice long hot shower together. After having two strong orgasms each we get down to washing each other. Afterwards I shave while he brings our gym bags down to the kitchen and puts our lunch totes on the island. I come down still wrapped in my towel and he smiles and growls. Zachary says ‘I am so lucky I have a hot boyfriend.’ I laugh ‘I’m the lucky one.’ I lock up and we head upstairs. I stop and look across the street Stephen’s room is dark except for the candle in the window. We climb into bed and Zachary asks ‘How do you feel?’ I answer ‘I will be fine once we get to the gym tomorrow. But right now I am with Stephen and wished I was rich so that we wouldn’t have to go to work.’ With that Zachary growled and we both laughed. The alarm went off at 3:15am and I got up got dressed and went down and loaded the lunch totes. I waited to the last possible moment to get Zachary up. After that was done I went out to warm up the truck and brought our stuff out. By the time I came back he was down and we were off. I got into the groove right away of lifting and as we were getting ready to get on the treadmills Sebastian came in. He did not look happy at all. Zachary and I showered and was fortunate enough the gym was filling up that we weren’t anywhere near Sebastian. We got to the department and all the Christmas decorations were down and there were totes to be put away. Stanley was there and we all said our Hello’s. We will catch up once the shift starts. Zachary went to his bench to have his breakfast and I to my desk. I couldn’t wait and looked at my emails which considering the time I was gone wasn’t as bad as I expected. In fact I was finished by the beginning of the shift. Sebastian had come in quietly and of course Hector arrived with only minutes to spare. After everyone was settled Stanley and I talked and got filled on everything that had happened. Hector took Zachary outside to do some work and I told Sebastian where he could store the Christmas if he wanted to leave it here for next year unless he was planning on leaving. Sebastian says ‘Thank you. Yes that would be good. I will do that when I come back from final assembly I have a job to finish up.’ After he leaves I ask ‘Stanley what’s up? He seems preoccupied.’ Stanley laughs ‘He is facing the harsh reality that his children are growing up and becoming their own person and that this isn’t the old country not that it would be any different over there.’ I laugh ‘That is tough for anyone especially if their dream isn’t yours.’ Stanley laughs ‘The youngest came home drunk as a skunk on New Year’s Eve and the oldest son went away for like 3-4 days and came home with a giant hickey on his neck and scratches on his back. I guess Sebastian saw them by accident.’ I laugh ‘They are boys what does he expect? I know about New Year’s only because my grandson was there and told me ‘Meat’ was wasted.’ Stanley asks ‘Meat?’ I say ‘That is his son’s nickname at school.’ Stanley laughs ‘Sean is a big boy for 15. Did your grandson drink?’ I answer ‘No he tried a beer and didn’t like it and him and three of his friends left at nine. I know because I had to pick them up. I don’t understand what Sebastian is all upset over he has great kids doesn’t he realize the more he tries to control them the more they will rebel. I feel for his daughter she must really have to tow the line.’ Stanley laughs ‘Jared you’re saying everything that we have all tried to tell him. He doesn’t realize it would be the same even if they were back in Poland.’ We finished going over all the priorities from the previous week and were in decent shape. There were only three jobs in the queue that had to be finished. It is going to be a slow January and February. I met with Jim at nine for coffee in the cafeteria. He is going to hire Samuel in the next week he is having him come in to fill out paperwork and go through HR. Now for Sebastian Jr he has a couple of prospects out in the shop and when Samuel comes in tomorrow he will give them to Samuel to show his brother. Jim says ‘Unfortunately that is all I can do other than bring him into our department, which I won’t unless Sr. decides to transfer out.’ I laugh and tell him he is right and relay what Stanley told me. I say ‘You are a good judge of your employees it must have been all that Foreman school psychology courses.’ Jim laughs ‘I don’t think so I missed you and Zachary.’ I say ‘But that has nothing to do with our work ethics or personalities. So don’t be hard on yourself but I am glad you know about it.’ Then I told him about Stephen and how we are going to keep everything low-key for the present. Jim says ‘I hope you are bringing them to ‘Bring your kid to work day’ they are bringing it back this year. I ask ‘How can I they are not my kids they are my grandkids?’ Jim says ‘Today there are more grandparents raising kids than parents.’ I say ‘Okay.’ The rest of the day flies by and things are back to normal with the department by the end of the day. The only thing that has changed is that there isn’t any overtime during the week just on Saturdays for coverage. Stanley says ‘My wife isn’t going to know what to do with me home this early.’ Hector jokes ‘I told my wife that she better tell the kids I will be home early and out of my den.’ On the way home I relay what Stanley told me about Sebastian. Zachary laughed ‘I know the feeling to get that carried away to scratch and leave your mark. Do you think it is serious?’ I say ‘From what I get from Charlie I don’t think so. He isn’t looking for anything serious and it would be a long distance relationship. Sebastian would be foolish to give up a job in the shop it is better than where he is working now and there is nothing up that way for him. I’m only guessing love makes you do all kinds of things. Charlie may be just enjoying the sex there is nothing wrong with that a lot of people are happy with just that.’ Zachary says ‘When did you get so knowledgeable about gay life?’ I laugh so hard I do a Stephen snort and say ‘Duh I read, I hear things. Plus this applies to any life style there are ankara escort bayan a lot of straight people who do the same thing even married people. To each his own I may not agree with it but who am I to judge. Would you like to make this an open relationship?’ Zachary says ‘Not the least bit funny Jared, why do you?’ I answer ‘No not at all I am very happy, content and in love.’ Zachary says ‘So am I.’ My phone rings and it is Charlie. I answer ‘Speak of the devil we were just talking about you. We are on our way home from work. I am going to put you on speaker.’ Charlie laughs ‘I had to find out if Sebastian’s dad said anything. I guess they had kind of a row when he went home.’ I laugh and say ‘He was quiet all day but I heard how he wasn’t happy how Meat came home wasted from a New Year’s party and then his oldest was gone for 3 or 4 days and came home with a hickey and a scratched back.’ Charlie laughed ‘Yeah things got kind of heated.’ Zachary says ‘I get that totally.’ I say ‘Charlie you don’t have say anything it is your business.’ Charlie says ‘It is okay I have no one really to talk to about this other than you guys and Uncle Anthony. I am tight lipped with my friends always was. It only comes back to bite you in the ass.’ Zachary asks ‘Is this getting serous?’ Charlie answers ‘For me no. Sebastian is a great guy, looks, body, etc.’ Zachary says ‘I hear a ‘But’ coming.’ Charlie says ‘You are correct he is relationship minded but it would be like living with my Dad all over again. Sebastian is very set in his ways and ideas and I don’t want to get involved with anyone like that. Everything will be his way or no way.’ Zachary says ‘How do you know?’ Charlie laughs ‘Right now he is being all nice and everything to get into my bed. But spending those few days with him I learned a lot. He more or less said that when we move in together He will be the bread winner and I will cook, maid, and still work.’ Zachary says ‘Seriously.’ Charlie says ‘Yes whatever he did as far as helping cooking or anything he told me don’t get used to it. I just laughed it off but seriously I would date him but it will never be more than anything casual.’ I say ‘I’m sorry.’ Charlie says ‘Guys listen I am smart enough to realize I don’t want a relationship where I have to hope a person will change their ways. Hey the sex is great and until I find that spark with someone I am happy with a casual fling. I want to get situated at work first I can’t afford any diversions.’ We make a little more small talk and hang up. Zachary says ‘Charlie is smart he knows what he wants.’ I agree. We get home and start our chores. Zachary took care of the laundry I emptied our lunch boxes and started supper. While the chicken was cooking Zachary called me upstairs. He was naked except for his socks on his/Stephen’s bed. I quickly undressed and joined him. Fireworks went off inside of me as soon as our lips met. As I worked my way down his neck to his chest, his treasure trail to his hardon and balls. Zachary moaned and his hips bucked in pleasure. I separated his legs and pushed them over his head and licked the area around his hairy hole. I could see he was already lubed and I continued to nibble on the inside of his thighs. Zachary was begging me with his eyes to mount and when I did he lost his breath. I started out slow and increased my pace. His legs and arms as usual had me locked inot his strong embrace. It wasn’t long before he let me know he was cumming. I wasn’t even close. I was savoring this we hadn’t fucked in a bed in almost three days and I knew I could get him to cum again if I kept reaching his prostrate. Ha I was right within a few minutes it was like being on a rocking horse. I quickened my pace as he met my thrusts. As he was cumming again I started to cum myself. We lied there together for some time before we both ran to the bathroom me to the shower and him to the toilet we took a long shower together and changed into the clothes we would wear to the gym tomorrow. Zachary started another laundry load of our work clothes. The chicken was done and I put it outside to cool. I ran down to get sauce and meatballs out of the freezer for tomorrow’s supper then sat with a coffee at the island. Zachary was waiting for the laundry and came and sat on my lap. We were listening to the news on TV and it seems to be a good chance of a Nor’easter heading this way. Looks like Thursday morning going into early Friday. I laugh ‘These kids will only have two days of school possibly three this week and we will be off Friday for sure if we are getting the two feet.’ Zachary says ‘Do we need to stop at the store tomorrow or get gas?’ I reply ‘I filled up yesterday and you filled yours on Saturday and as far as groceries I think we are set I got a little extra yesterday just in case the boys were here. If not Anthony volunteered to go in the morning and there always your grandfather and Andrea I’m sure they will be going.’ I made chicken salad for supper along with a salad Zachary made. We would take that for lunch tomorrow too. Tomorrow would be the rigatoni, ricotta and meatballs. Thursday will be the left over waffles and bacon for supper. I went down and took a spiral ham out of the freezer I will make that for Friday and the weekend. While we were eating Zachary says ‘Call Stephen and see how his first day went.’ I got my phone and called DJ’s phone and put it on speaker. DJ answered I say ‘DJ is Stephen near you?’ DJ answers ‘He is right here next to me hold on.’ Stephen gets on the phone and I say ‘How was your first day back?’ Stephen says ‘Papa it was okay, my teacher left all the Christmas stuff up and she is gonna till the… DJ what is it called oh yeah the Epiphany.’ I say ‘See I told you it wouldn’t be bad. How was Stuart?’ Stephen whispers ‘Eric told me and DJ that Stuart told his friends he tripped and fell into a door. He didn’t bother us really he wasn’t near us that much.’ I hear DJ in the background and Stephen says ‘Papa we have to go. Andrea says supper is ready.’ I say ‘Okay see you tomorrow for supper. I love you guys.’ Stephen says ‘We love you too. Bye.’ I say ‘Wow that brings back memories of you and Anthony.’ Zachary says ‘Why because whenever you came home from school or work we were your shadows.’ I laugh ‘Exactly you know how many times I woke up from a catching twenty minutes to find you on my lap cuddling me or Anthony spooning me from behind on my bed.’ Zachary says ‘That is because we loved you or love you.’ I smile ‘I know I am not complaining. DJ has Stephen which makes the circle complete.’ We cleaned up after supper and got everything ready for the morning and actually brushed our teeth and went to bed. It was 8pm and we fell right asleep. The next morning the alarm went off at 3:15 and it was only the second day but it was already old. Zachary grumbled when I went to back to get him up. At the gym it was still getting crowded before we left. Zachary complained and I say ‘Give it another week or so and it will drop off and by the end of the month it will just be the few of us that are always here. All the New Year’s resolutions will be out the window.’ That made Zachary laugh hard. Sebastian was there early and seemed in a better mood. The work day was progressing and Jim called me to say that Samuel accepted the job he will be starting Monday February 6 and he gave him three other jobs for Sebastian Jr. to look at. Jim also mentioned the flight tower was following the storm and we would most likely be home Friday. After lunch I helped Sebastian put away the rest of the Christmas totes. I asked ‘Did oyu and your family have a good Christmas?’ Sebastian says ‘Yes but always too much food, drink and desserts.’ I laughed and agreed. I ask ‘How long do you keep your stuff up at home?’ Sebastian says ‘In the old country everything stays up till Candlemas which is the very beginning of February. Here we keep things up till at least the middle of January. Everything is up inside but with the snow coming I took everything down outside yesterday when I got home from work.’ I answered ‘The same at my house my grandson got mad but we all the candles in the windows.’ Sebastian asked ‘The football player?’ I say ‘No Stephen the youngest he is five but a Christmas nut like his me.’ Sebastian says ‘My middle one is like that Samuel. Stanley says your grandson was at that New Year ‘s Eve party.’ I say ‘He was I had to pick him up, he and his brother were staying over. Why?’ Sebastian asks ‘Did he drink?’ I answer ‘He went with his three friends and I took them all home they weren’t drunk but did smell of beer and cigarettes. My DJ told me he tried whiskey and didn’t like it and split a beer with one of them and didn’t like that either.’ Sebastian says ‘Well Sean didn’t stop at having one but he got sick enough that hopefully that will stop him.’ I laugh ‘It usually does but if you don’t mind a little friendly advice. Don’t suffocate your boys let them try things on their own and if oyu have instilled all the right values and that I am sure you have, in just getting to know you, you have nothing to fear. If you put too many restrictions on them they will rebel every chance they get. Sean is a good young man believe me if he wasn’t DJ wouldn’t bother with him.’ Sebastian gave me a genuinely warm smile and says ‘Thank you Jared I appreciate your honesty and you have said the same thing that a few others have already.’ I say ‘Hey anytime I am the oldest of five and have raised siblings, children and dealing with grandchildren now so feel free to ask anything anytime.’ The rest of the day flies by and the other guys have gotten use to going home early. On the way home I tell Zachary about Samuel being hired and my little talk with Sebastian. Zachary gets text from Maria that Stephen is napping but only for an hour. That gives us plenty of time to get our chores out of the way and supper started. We are finishing up with everything when Zachary gets a text that Stephen is ready to be picked up. Zachary grabs a hat and runs out the door. It isn’t long before I hear them on the back deck. Stephen comes bursting in ‘Papa I missed you.’ He runs to hug me and I rub his head and say ‘I missed you too.’ He takes off his backpack, jacket, gloves, hat and boots. Stephen says ‘Zachary where is the tin of cookies?’ Zachary says ‘Hell-o right here.’ I say ‘You guys go wash up everything is ready.’ They both head into the downstairs bathroom. I can hear Stephen say ‘Zachary you are lucky oyu get to be with Papa all day.’ Zachary says ‘But you are just as lucky you get to be Noni a lot more than I can and almost if not every day.’ Stephen says ‘I guess we are both lucky.’ With that I hear a whack and Stephen says ‘Hurry up swamp butt I am hungry.’ Zachary says ‘Wait I owe you one now.’ Stephen giggles and they both come back and sit at the island. Stephen says ‘Papa this is good.’ I answer ‘Thanks.’ Stephen says ‘Hey guess what you guys?’ We both answer ‘What?’ Stephen says ‘We are going to get a blizzard like last year. Our teacher gave us homework, she gave us stuff to do tomorrow and the next day in case there is no school. Can I sleep in oyur bed Zachary? So I can watch the plows again I can’t see the street from my room.’ Zachary says ‘Sure but won’t you miss being with DJ and Eric?’ Stephen thinks then says ‘None one of their rooms face the front only the home office work room that has three windows and I’m not allowed in there since the printer blew up.’ Zachary laughed ‘Oh yeah I forgot about that. I heard there were papers all over the place.’ Stephen laughed ‘I didn’t know numbers then and Eric tried to help. My Dad says the printer died of exhaustion.’ Zachary laughs even harder and Stephen joins him. I say ‘You can stay here if they say it is okay but don’t oyu want to be with your brothers on your first snow day?’ Stephen says ‘No they already say they are going to sleep and not have to get up early. I told them if they want to go sledding they have to get up early.’ Zachary says ‘What was the answer?’ Stephen says ‘DJ and Eric said Why? The snow isn’t going anywhere. Papa they don’t know you better tell them.’ I say ‘I will say something but they might not care. If you remember there were only young kids like you last year when we sledding.’ Stephen though about it and says ‘Yeah.’ Zachary says ‘They will want to go later with their friends and girls will be there.’ Stephen says ‘Ewww girls yeah I guess so.’ Zachary says ‘You say ‘ewwww’ but when you get older we will have to check you for love bites.’ Stephen laughs making kissing noises. We listen to the weather while we are still eating. They are saying 24- 30″ for us starting in the morning tomorrow becoming heavier as the day goes on and continuing into late Friday morning. I say ‘There you have it. You may get out early tomorrow but definitely no school Friday.’ Stephen says ‘Papa do you and Zachary have to go to work?’ I say ‘Yes tomorrow but we will probably be home Friday if we get all that snow.’ The house phone rings and it is Andrea she tells me that Sr. is going to the store at 7am do I need anything and I tell her just milk only for the fact if the boys are here I will use it and if she doesn’t have room to keep it to leave in on my deck it will cold enough all day. Then Mario calls Zachary and tells him to bring over the gas can he is going for gas as soon as BJ’s opens when we take Stephen home. After we clean-up they boys have eggnog and me my coffee and Stephen and Zachary eat the cookies Maria made. Stephen says ‘Noni makes the best sugar cookies and all of these are to stay here for you guys.’ Stephen doesn’t give me a hard time when it is time to leave. We stop at Mario’s to leave my gas cans. Mario asks ‘What about Sr.?’ I laugh ‘He doesn’t own a snow blower he has four strong bodies to shovel.’ Maria gives Stephen a bag of cookies to take home for his school snack. I ask ‘Do you need anything Sr. is going to the store tomorrow?’ Maria answers ‘No I am going to run into BJ’s when Mario get the gas. I asked if them if there was anything they needed there when Andrea called me.’ I say ‘You know get me milk I like theirs better.’ I leave money for the milk and gas. When we get to Andrea’s I tell them not to get me milk that Maria is. Sr. says ‘No problem.’ While we are there Stephen asks ‘Mom can I sleep at Papa’s tomorrow night? I want to watch the plows and I want to go sledding early.’ Andrea says ‘Okay if Papa is home.’ Stephen tells us both goodnight and hugs us and runs up to take his shower. Sr. says ‘If we get what they are calling for all of us will be home Friday.’ I agree and we leave. Once home Zachary brings our gym bags down and I make the lunches tomorrow will be the left over waffles and bacon. We shower (get off) and go to bed. I hope the snow holds off till late morning so these kids and us get home with no problem. JJ Thanks to all of you who have written and told me how much you are still enjoying this story. There will be another chapter or two of family dynamics before I concentrate more on Jared’s and Zachary’s relationship with each other. Thanks again. [ ail ]
