Chapter 97
Maxieplus.
I had thought I would have had a sleepless night, but I didn't. I only got up after we made love to check on the babies. They were in bed together, Jack had cuddled up to Curtis and I knew this would be their normal sleeping pattern from now on.
"They are in the one bed."
"I thought they may do that," Con said.
"Are you okay?" He added.
"Yes, and don't take this the wrong way Con, I'm so excited I could scream."
"I know how to make you scream baby." he grinned, I kissed him then said.
"Go to sleep, I have work in the morning."
I did sleep well, and was up with the sparrows, early. I checked the boys they were so adorable and still in the same bed, then I went to find coffee. Conner had been restless but I didn't have time to fix him up, because I have real work.
I put the coffee machine on then stood at the back windows my stomach was full of butterflies, then I heard John say.
"Good morning."
"Good morning John, did you sleep well?"
"Yes, Brent always."
"The boys slept in the same bed last night."
"I thought they might have, I guessed they would miss each other."
"It was so cute and they had plenty of room thanks to you."
"My pleasure, you are too busy to go shopping." He smiled.
"Can't wait to get to work, will you be fine with Conner?"
"Yes Brent, we will take them to see the ship and get those letters to Jill, we want to call in and see if she wants anything."
"I hope she doesn't get pissed off with me."
"She won't, she gets to spend more time with Luke also don't forget."
I was counting down the minutes and I can't get ahead of myself this morning. I don't need to be there until nine, easy day Sydney then Adelaide I should be home by four.
I sat with John and had my coffee then went upstairs to drop one off to Conner, then I showered. The kids were in bed with him when I arrived back and he was teaching them to sing Baa Baa black sheep, it was cute.
Ted was up I could hear his shower going he will be excited to sit with his buddies at the back of the room again.
"What time are you leaving?"
"In an hour Con, don't forget to get the posters done sometime this week."
"I will get onto them or maybe I will get Grant to do them." He smiled.
I started dressing and Conner was rubbing himself under the blanket, I looked at the smiley faces on my kids and said.
"Naughty boy Conner."
They started slapping him on the face. I put my tie on then went to sit on Ted's bed, I wanted to have a chat with him.
"Now son, I may not be able to make it to practice today so have a good one, and I should be home by the time you get here."
"That's okay daddy, you look so cool in that uniform."
"You reckon?"
"Yes daddy you always look good in it, it's the way it's supposed to be isn't it?"
"I think so son, I don't know how long I will be able to do it because I will miss you and your brothers."
"That's good daddy, better than dad going off overseas for months, I like him being here with us too and I love you being with uncle Phil and Dave."
"I do too baby, now make sure you pack your new glasses safely and tell your teacher if you can't see the blackboard promise me?"
"I will daddy."
"Okay breakfast, let's go."
He jumped off the bed and I hugged him, then he ran downstairs. Conner had already gone with the kids and was having more coffee.
"What are you going to do today Con?"
"I might sit with Grant for a while then remind him who is boss of him, he may offer me sex to keep his job." He grinned.
"You do that Con, I'm sure I will be able to put you back together when I get home."
"Together?'
"Yes because Grant will either deck you or walk out laughing, it's hard to know what option he will choose."
"Maybe I won't then."
"You could come with me." He looked at the kids and shook his head no.
"I have to go and look at ships baby, then buy a poster of me, will I get two?"
"Yes, Con and the photo shopman in the High street can do the ones of me."
"What time will you be home?"
"Around four." I started kissing him.
"I will miss you."
"Me you too."
I grabbed my flight bag, John had placed some biscuits in it for the boys, and then I kissed babies, grandfathers, and Teddy, then Con saw me to the front door. After he tried to get me randy I had to slip out and wave to him, leaving our home for the day. It was nice to be on the freeway again as I drove carefully towards Tullermarine airport, I don't know whether the boys were forewarned of my arrival but as soon as I pulled into the staff car park they ran towards the car.
"Welcome back." They both hugged me and took my bag. I wanted to shed a tear but held back because the two hunkiest pilots in the world were marching me up the stairs to be greeted by Tan whose smile was enormous.
"You look wonderful Tan." I leaned in to kiss his cheek and hug him.
"Mum said she told you about Tick so I guess the only thing you don't know is." He moved his shoulders a bit and looked down. I saw it as it glinted in the sunlight on his pilot wings.
"You graduated?"
"Yes, a week ago, surprise."
"But you didn't tell me."
"I didn't want an audience Brent, but apart from these two and mum, you are the first to know."
I grabbed him again and welcomed him aboard.
"Why Tick, I thought his name was Steven."
"We made a how happy we are listing the first night we made love, and he ticked everything off then I double ticked it, the nickname stuck." He laughed.
I settled into the cabin and then went about rearranging the galley to my taste, the boys did their pre-flight check, then I answered three messages from Conner and one from Teddy, he had got special permission to use his phone to let me know he can see from the back. Cons were all about sex, he's a sex machine and will be quite pumped up by the time I get home, lucky me.
"Buckle up Brent." I heard the engines whine into life. I locked everything down and sat in my favorite seat ready for take-off.
Phil was at the wheel today, a short almost ninety-degree take off a quick level out, and a slow dance to reach our cruising height.
The seatbelt light went out and I unbuckled myself then went to the galley. I looked across the aisle at the bedroom Con and I occupied then opened the door, it looked cold and empty without him in it.
I made coffee and plated up John's biscuits then took it to the cockpit.
"Thank god I have missed these biscuits, Brent," Tan said.
"He sends his love to you all, that was a pretty rushed take-off Phil, have you been practicing?"
"No Brent that was Tan's work." I looked at my new pilot and we slapped hands.
"Way to go, awesome."
"It was just a welcome back take off, won't happen again." he blushed.
"What have we got for lunch Brent?" Dave asked.
"Funny enough we have the Hilton today my favorite kitchen. I think chicken and rice not sure. It's been a while before I could tell by the smell but it has been a long time."
"You will get back into it quickly Brent, by the time you settle in you might even get in a candy crush game or two." He was right I was as nervous as my first flight with Conner today, I will settle in quickly.
I cleaned up the cups and left the boys to it. A short flight to Sydney, then Adelaide then home, I didn't want it to end, my men were all looking good today. I should have emptied my bag before I left home, now I am going to be randy all day.
I checked the food and yes I was right, chicken and rice I will put it on before we reach Sydney. I checked everything twice and then sat and had a game of candy crush, but I was too excited to concentrate so I put it aside and started looking at photos of the boys.
Tan came out to use the toilet and we talked about his life now, it was so different than before. He was still seeing Mary occasionally but now the questions were all about relationships and he's determined that he and Tick will have a beautiful life together. There was even talk of moving out and renting a flat, I will talk to the grandads when I get home surely they have something on their books.
I watched his bubble butt move to the cockpit and wondered if he was still a virgin. Shaking my head I could feel the plane descending so I popped the food into the oven to warm up. I asked the boys if they needed anything then went to buckle up. It's not a long flight from Melbourne a little over an hour or so, I heard my phone and Conner had sent me a small movie of the babies going crazy at Go Ship, they were running everywhere to get a view of the ships, again I fought back a few tears. I knew they were at the ready because I had in the past a lot of emotional things going on around me, and the flight is bringing back those memories and the tears, it's not the babies it's my surroundings.
So to fight tears emotions and the tightness that was trying to return, I sent a long sexy message to Conner saying I had fixed up all three pilots and I asked how was he doing with Grant. He sent back another small movie of him laughing alongside Grant just before he kissed his cheek. The next one he was in the toilet wanking.
We landed with a thud and I closed down my phone, rearranging my crotch I waited until we came to a dead stop. The smell from the galley made me hungry but I had to open doors and help unload the mail and reload more bags. I watched Phil's buns fight in his tight pants then I watched Daves.
"He's back Phil." I heard.
"Wiggle it more Dave I think he likes yours better." I slapped them both on the backsides and said.
"I could fuck a rabid dog at the moment, we missed out this morning. Kids will do that to a marriage."
I laughed as they followed me up the stairs and their hands were poking me in-between my legs, I lifted one so they could get a better grope, yes like old times.
"Lunch will be ready as soon as we hit cruising altitude."
"Good I'm starving," Tan said, I smiled he's a growing young man and if I remember rightly he was always starving.
It was Dave's turn to take off, they are always smoother and he certainly doesn't take off like a fighter pilot. I unbuckled and went to serve lunch, all three had seconds it was that good, and so did I as I sat with them.
Another few messages and Conner is about to burst, so I sent back a pic of me in the toilet stroking.
The trip to Adelaide was smooth and I cleaned up the galley to kill time. I then went to lay on the bed and have a nap, I missed Con and the kids and even John's constant banging in the kitchen.
I was woken by Dave who told me we were about to land. On the ground, I grabbed the garbage and stashed it in the company's bin, helped with the mail then in no time we were headed for home.
I was looking out the window remembering Ted's first flight he was looking for animals in the clouds, so I started doing that to kill more time.
I hugged them all farewell and started for the car, I may have got a speeding ticket I was that excited to get home. Opening the front door I didn't expect anyone to be there, and it felt empty and quiet. I dropped my jump bag in the family room and took my jacket off. That was when it started. Conner was naked on the sofa his awesome legs spread wide as he said.
"It's about time, hop in baby. I'm ready to go."
I couldn't get my clothes off quick enough and tripped on my underwear then fell on top of him. It was like making love in a raging storm, and there was nothing left out as he wiggled under me. We took it in turns and fully welcomed the invasions, I fell on the floor he collapsed on top of me. I keep saying that this is the best, and I can't remember when I had a better lovemaking experience with my Conner.
"Welcome home."
"Thank you, and thank you for the delicious surprise."
"We had better clean up baby, the kids will be here soon." He took my hand and we had a quick shower.
"Again tonight?' He looked hopeful.
"You better believe it, we will go to bed early."
I kissed him and was ready to go again but I had heard the front door so we had to go welcome my babies home.
Teddy jumped up on me and the babies were gathered up by Conner to meet me face to face. I kissed them all twice and then got down on my knees to hug them.
It was like new years eve at our place even John had a big smile on his face as I told Ted word for word what happened today at work.
He told me his glasses were a hit and he didn't have any problems seeing his work on the board. While we all had a big catch up the babies told me about the ships and then Conner let the cat out of the bag and said.
"There's a big surprise for you two in your bedrooms." They screamed and ran up the stairs, then they screamed louder.
"Did you do the posters?"
"Yes baby, I got security onto it."
"Well done." They wouldn't come down for dinner we had to take it up to them, they were also laying on one bed looking at their surprises, two big posters of a rock god and two of a flight attendant, who happens to be their daddies.
Surprisingly they ate all their dinner and then they wanted to go to bed, it's a bit early but we allowed them to play in their room. They did run into Ted's room to compare the posters and make sure they were the same.
Ted had parked himself in front of the tv, footy season is starting and there was a footy show on the screen, he and Ray watched that.
I ate some food and talked more about the flight, they could tell I liked it very much because I felt they were laughing more, and the vibe in the house was awesome. I couldn't wait to get into bed and I am at the bottom tonight if Con gets that far.
"This flying thing gets you a bit horny baby, we must talk about you doing it full time." He had just slipped out and my legs fell to the bed as I sighed.
"The kid's Con, I can't leave the kids they will miss me."
"They had a ball today, and only asked when you would be home twice. It's the uniform they like at the moment."
"Well we will see, I certainly don't want to put Jill out of work."
"Leave it to daddy, would you like some more?"
"Oh god yes, sit on my face for a bit."
Morning came too quickly I checked the kids, yes they were in the same bed cuddled up. That hopefully will curb their interest in running into Ted's room during the night. Before I went to make coffee I left Con with a big smile on his face. I cleaned up some toys and sipped on my drink, as I looked through my itinerary for the rest of the week.
It has been changed and instead of Darwin, I am only doing Victoria our home state today, then back to Sydney tomorrow, then Adelaide the next day. They were all short runs. I sat and thought about it, these runs get me home earlier, the Victorian one is five stops, and looking back I remembered Go Ship usually used a local airline to do that run.
John arrived and I placed the coffee pot in front of him, we said our good mornings and I asked him about the change. He shrugged and looked at the ceiling, I see Conners at it again interfering in my working life as usual.
I took coffee up to him but he wasn't in bed, he was in with the boys and Ted had joined them. Today he was teaching them how to sing this little piggy, he had Jack's toes in his fingers, the giggling was awesome and my sons were happy.
I decided that I wouldn't say anything, I will have a word with Jill and see what she knows. I can also talk to my boys today, that's if they are flying I may have some new pilots. I went back downstairs with Curtis on my hip he wants his cartoons and Ted followed because he still likes to watch them also.
Another coffee then I must shower and dress, according to my flight schedule, I will be needed again at nine. I was once again checked out and touched very intimately by Conner, he was on his knees now and talking to one big Mr piggy.
I had been bombarded with kids and had to kneel on the floor to hug them, they all wished me a good day and I promised I would be at the park. I told them to be good and not to forget to have a nap and I told my eldest I loved him dearly and for him to have an awesomely good day.
I left them all waving to me from the front door and drove to the airport, I should have rung Jill but I will do that from one of my destinations. Parking was easy and I could see the boys helping to load the belly of our jet, no Tan today. I took my jacket off and greeted them then started helping. It was only mail and magazines today.
"So what is happening boys?"
"We have no idea Brent, our schedule was changed last night so it looks like we are doing the magazine drops. There's a smaller plane that usually does that for us, maybe it's out of commission today."
"I see, has this happened before?"
"No Brent this is a first and we hope it won't be the norm from now on, we have no idea." I pulled my phone out and rang Jill.
"I don't know honey, but I am grateful you are doing my job. How are the boys treating you?"
"The same Jill, they always treat me good." I looked at Phil and winked.
"I will probably see you at the park then, my ankle isn't that bad and I have walking sticks when needed."
"Just take it easy and don't push it."
"I won't, you have a good day my friend."
I hung up still none the wiser.
"Okay, let's get this show on the road Brent, the food has been delivered, we have a stopover in Mildura for lunch."
I went inside and the boys started their pre-flight checks while I filled the oven and put the coffee on. I checked the toilets and bedrooms, they were spotless
as usual then I asked the boys if they wanted coffee.
"When we are in the air Brent, nearly finished." Dave smiled.
This shit has Conners's name all over it and I have to fix it quick smart, the boys are so much more than a newspaper run, and I doubt whether the plane would be making much money doing local drop-offs.
I sat down in my flight seat and buckled up, then I got on the phone again and sent a message.
'Fix this farce Conner Richards or I will withhold sex for a month'
I didn't get an answer but imagined Conner fainting.
It was when we got in the air I made coffee and sat with the boys.
"What's our first stop?'
"Merimbula Brent an hours flight then Bendigo Mildura and Geelong then back to Melbourne. I hope whoever changed the flight plan is aware that this plane is built for a longer haul, not hop on hop off city stops." Phil seemed pissed off so I placed my hand on his and said.
"He will be fixing the problem now, I can assure you of that."
"What's his problem anyway?"
"Me, and I apologize."
"Well he's gone too far, sorry Brent but he has. What happened to you is long in the past and I for one would much rather it stays there, your safety is paramount to us, and nothing is going to happen." He took my hand.
We were no sooner in the air and had our coffees, then they began their descent.
I helped unload the deliveries then we buckled up again. I turned the oven on and made more coffee with biscuits this time, I was a little out of whack.
After another hour and a half, we descended into Mildura. I remembered this airport it was where that awful drunk comedian punched me in the face, but I can't blame the city for that its a beautiful large country town.
We unloaded again and then we sat in the hanger to have our lunches, next is Bendigo then Geelong which is a fifteen-minute flight back to Melbourne. Phil was getting angry inside and I tried to calm him down.
`I need confirmation the schedule has been changed back otherwise two pilots are walking out, and I am walking home.' This time I got an instant reply.
`Fixed, Darwin tomorrow, sorry baby.'
'That's better, you have no idea the trouble this has caused me'
`Are they blaming you?'
'Not yet, but it's coming'
Phil's phone went off and he answered his face was red hot.
"Yes?" He said.
"That's better talk soon." He hung up.
"He apologized," Phil said.
"So you won't punch me now?"
"Of course, I won't, whatever gave you that idea?"
"Mildura is the place where people like to punch me." He thought about it and started laughing, then he said.
"Any more food?"
I went and got the rest and we sat laughing through our very delicious meal.
The day did go fast and I was early getting to the park, Con and the boys weren't there, in fact, I was all alone at the table. I poked through my jump bag and found my Ipad, the schedule had been changed back to normal and Candy crush was opened. I had a big smile on my face when they scooted across the oval, my little ones kept falling over they were so excited.
"Daddy daddy we here daddy."
"So good to see you sons, it's been such a long time."
"Good to see you too daddy." I gave them a hug and kiss then Conner got one, then John and Ray.
"So how was your day baby?"
"Shit house Conner, I had two very angry pilots on my hands and I was making mistakes all over the place, what a shit run that was."
"What mistakes?" He looked concerned.
"I forgot the biscuits, and John they have requested the homemade ones for tomorrow, or else I will be looking face down at the ground as they chuck me out." I smiled, John huffed.
"Well, you were in such a big hurry this morning I forgot to pack them."
"Tomorrow will be different, it's an early start." I grinned at Con, he blushed.
"I think your little plan backfired Con, the boys weren't happy."
"Sorry baby."
My sons were now sitting on my lap and were telling me about their day and playing with my name tag that was attached to my shirt. They were so happy to see me and I did feel a bit guilty, but they can have as much fun with their other daddy, at least he likes shopping.
The talk around the table was almost fever pitch when Andy and Fran arrived and when my beautiful son came with his mates the babies were forgotten and he hopped up on my knees.
"Did you have a good day daddy?"
"Yes son, it was most enjoyable. Uncle Phil and Dave send their love and wanted to know when are you going to fly with them again."
"Sometimes daddy, I just have to make some space for them." He's such a busy boy nowadays and as I said the footy season is nearly upon us.
I took one of John's rolls and Conner grinned at me, so I turned him on by licking the roll instead of deep throating it.
"Run Mr. Walsh?"
"Yes, Mr. Conner." I agreed, it has been too long and I think both our 'bags' are full again. I dropped my pants and changed my shoes, Conner was already warming up with the twins who wanted to run the oval or attempt it.
He headed off with his buns punching each other I stared at Grant's awesome butt as he ran off in a different direction.
We arrived at the bushes and shorts were dropped, it was a furious fight over who gives it first, he won and I leaned back on the tree.
Teddy headed straight for the table where Ray was waiting for him to do his homework, I put a load of washing on and played with my mate Benny, then I went to check my jump bag out. After placing it on the floor I turned to my sons and started playing with them. They were a little excited but as our moods slowed down the tv was their main focus, poor old daddy had to sit at the table with Conner.
He started kissing me and John made noises from the kitchen. I suppose he misses having me around all day but Conner can play scrabble also.
Ted got a hundred percent right then scooted off to sit with his brothers, now he's on the sofa Benny was confident enough to jump up on his knees.
I opened my Ipad and it's a seven am start tomorrow morning which means I leave here at six, three and a half hour flight there and back I should have time to go to the park but if not I will head for home. The next day was a day off then the following was our usual trip to Sydney, then Adelaide on the way back. We have a passenger that day on a round trip for a very busy businessman, that would be Conner. I looked at him he pursed his lips and sat up straight, then I winked at him.
"What have you on this week Con?'
"Just more writing tomorrow, then a day with my husband, then I may take a trip to Sydney." He grinned.
"Are we taking the children?"
"I would like to but it's your call."
"I have Go ship Friday Conner, don't forget," John called out.
"Yes, we are taking the children." He grinned again.
I didn't mind they will have a nap at some stage and I can always get Phil to look after them because I know Conner will want to test the bedroom out.
Food was placed on the table and Ray cleaned up he made Ted put his homework into his backpack and then they talked about football.
In two weeks it will be his first official game and he was getting very excited, if he looked at his footy kit once he looked at it ten times.
Conner was more than excited to get to bed but first, we have munchkins to get to sleep. He has started reading small stories to them, and once again they were in the same bed. I think he rushed the story but the boys didn't notice they were dead to the world by the time we went to organize Teddy.
He didn't want his story tonight he wanted to look through a magazine I had snaffled from the plane, a footy magazine.
"Don't stay up too late baby you have school."
"I won't daddy I just want to finish reading this story." We kissed him goodnight and headed for the bedroom, I didn't close the door fully but he couldn't see us anyway, as I slowly undressed Conner, his want became more urgent so as I undressed I had a few nibbles. No big stuff tonight I think he's saving that for Friday's flight but we dined very well and satisfied our greedy sides completely.
By the time we had finished Ted was sound asleep his magazine had fallen on the floor, so I turned his light out and opened our bedroom door wider. The babies were still asleep and wrapped up in each other's arms, they looked so angelic. I slipped back into bed and pulled Conner closer, he started nibbling at my ear, I went to sleep because I have an early start.
I was up before the sun, and quietly had a shower and dressed in the bathroom, Conner was still asleep and I kissed his lips before I left, then checked the babies and Ted out.
I made coffee and grabbed my jump bag, some biscuits had found their way into it, thank you, Johnny.
The trip to the airport was quick there was hardly any traffic, I sat in the car and watched the sun come up then Phil and Dave arrived. Flight checks were started and coffee and biscuits were handed out. I started loading up the belly on my own, there wasn't much today but it was all urgent mail. Dave checked the door was secure and we were ready to taxi down to the take-off point. The airport was waking up and three other planes followed us out to line up.
Dave did the honors today and I thanked him for the smooth take-off. Thankfully Helen was on the ball and breakfast had been provided and was warming up in the oven. I put more coffee on checked the rooms and the toilet then went to check on my boys.
"Brent after breakfast can you give us a half-hour on our own?" Dave asked.
"Of course, I will." I grinned.
"Thank you." They will be making love and I'm not invited as usual.
"That's if you don't want to join is I mean," Phil added.
"Dirty buggers have fun, breakfast in five minutes." I went to do that job and once again I wondered if their offer was genuine. Stop it Brent you are back to where you were two years ago, but I do have a good imagination.
My stiff went down eventually and I handed my boys their breakfasts, I sat with them and ate mine. They were asking how the boys were going and I told them everything I knew, I was waffling on but didn't care they loved the kids.
"They will be flying on Friday, you can see them then."
"Is Conner coming?"
"Yes, he has booked a bedroom I believe."
"As long as he's looking after you that's the main thing."
"He looks after me very well boys."
I cleaned up and gave them some space the autopilot will fly the plane, and I so wanted to film their escapade.
Eventually, we were descending into Darwin a place I hold no fond memories of, but I shook off the shiver that went down my back and replaced the bad thoughts I was about to have with good thoughts, my sons featured in my mind as we hit the tarmac.
After unbuckling I went and turned the oven on, then I bagged up the breakfast rubbish to be placed into the Go Ship bin. The mail was unloaded and parcels were taken away in a flight bin. Phil handed over a satchel to an official and I did the rubbish. It was hot and I'm sure my shoes were melting into the tarmac as I walked into the small hanger.
There was another plane in it being serviced so I stood back and watched.
Our jet was now being refueled and checked out by Dave, I trust him to do the right checks and there was no hint of him limping from that terrible day, think of the boy's Brent, I said to myself. I did one better and rang them.
They were so excited to get a phone call and talked over each other so I really couldn't make anything out of their conversation. Conner was also excited to talk to me for other reasons and when I told him Phil and Dave were back doing the dirty dancing in the cockpit he laughed.
"They haven't dared do that since Jill arrived, I think they were too embarrassed."
"Well, they are back on board now."
"You didn't watch?"
"No, but they did invite me to join in." I laughed down the phone.
"I will speak to them." He laughed, I missed him.
