Jaiden and Peyton took off to the airport to pick up Peyton's parents, Jim and Phyllis Riley, for the special presentation Saturday morning at the temple. They were due to arrive at six in the evening which would allow time for the group to go to dinner at the country club.
The Riley's flight was arriving at the airport just as the boys got to the airport. Peyton was the first to spot his parents coming down the escalator to retrieve their luggage.
Peyton and Jaiden ran to the Rileys where Peyton hugged his mom as Jaiden got pulled into a bear hug by Dad Riley and received the obligatory family kiss on the forehead. As soon as Jaiden escaped his father-in-law, Mom Riley gave him a huge hug and a kiss on the cheek. Both boys were excited to see Peyton's parents and couldn't wait to show them the pictures the four boys had taken in Maui, but first, there was dinner to contend with.
Dr. Mom, Dale, and Charley had already gone to the country club and secured a table for seven family members who would be dining together for the evening. They had been at the club for about fifteen minutes when Peyton and Jaiden arrived with Peyton's parents. Dr. Mom had ordered New York Strip steaks for everybody and had each steak cooked to each person's preference. She also had ordered the salads with the dressings each person enjoyed.
The Rileys hugged Charley and Dale who both had Dad Riley bend over a bit as they kissed him on the forehead. The whole group erupted in laughter when Dale and Charley did that. As Dale and Charley hugged Mom Riley, the three of them teared up a bit when Mom Riley told them she loved them to the moon and back. The boys told her the same, and they meant it straight from their hearts.
As they settled in for dinner, Charley and Dale again thanked them for all they had done for them. Their statement brought smiles to everyone at the table. Dad Riley somewhat smirked when he looked at the four boys and said, "Hmm, looks like y'all got rid of your tan lines." Jaiden and Peyton turned several shades of crimson which Dale and Charley matched. The Rileys and Dr. Mom laughed at the boy's reaction to what Dad Riley had said.
Mom Riley told the boys how much she appreciated them calling her and Dad Riley at their clinic and got them to go to the Kam 1 Beach Cam website so they could see the boys on the beach in Maui. They told the boys that was the highlight of their week and that everyone at the clinic had gotten to see them as well. Dr. Mom told the boys that Becky and the other ladies in her clinic had also gotten to see the boys on the beach and that Becky teared up a bit when she saw Jaiden and Peyton. She said it seemed her little boy had finally grown up.
The boys were surprised when Dr. Mom told them she had Becky record the boys on the beach so Ginny and Gampy could see them as well. Just as she said that Ginny and Gampy walked up to the table and grabbed Jaiden and Peyton around the neck and hugged them. Ginny also hugged Dale and Charlie and told them she loved them too just as she had told Jaiden and Peyton.
They had quality time together during dinner with Peyton laying his head on his mother's shoulder. He had missed her terribly. Jaiden, on the other hand, had lain his head on Ginny's shoulder. Their special bond had been rekindled after graduation from Wellstone and neither of them was going to allow their special bond to be broken ever again.
As dinner concluded, everybody agreed to meet at Dr. Mom's home to see the pictures the boys had taken in Maui. Jaiden pointed out the Cheeseburger Restaurant in Lahaina that led to the special event that would happen in the morning at the synagogue. Ginny and Gampy told Jaiden they would be staying the night so they could attend the award ceremony at the synagogue. Jaiden got up and hugged Ginny for quite some time before the two sat back down.
Peyton showed the older adults the resort, the beach at the resort, and the photos of John's art shop where they purchased the three-piece mural for their bedroom in their new home. Jaiden's mom said, "speaking of the mural, it is in my bedroom, let me go get it for you and Peyton."
Jaiden's mom brought the mural into the den and handed it to Jaiden and Peyton who opened the boxes to show everyone the mural. As they all had been told, the photos were eye-popping, beautiful. Jaiden shot his mom a glance, and she excused herself and went back to her bedroom to retrieve yet another set of boxes, except this time they were for Dale and Charley. Dale and Charley had no idea Jaiden had bought them a mural they had seen but wouldn't buy because they didn't have the money.
Dale had always been the more sentimental of the two boys and when Dr. Mom handed them the boxes and told the boys to open them, Dale broke down and Charley teared up when they saw the mural they wanted but didn't have the money to buy. Dale got up, grabbed Jaiden, and cried for a few minutes. Jaiden put his hands on both sides of Dale's face and lifted his head so their eyes would meet. Jaiden said, "Dale, I told you that brother's always take care of brothers and I meant it. I saw how much you loved and wanted that mural and there was no way I was going to let you leave Maui without it."
Jaiden then pulled Dale into a tight hug, put his chin on top of Dale's head, and said, "I love you to the moon and back bro, and I always will, you know that." Everybody again teared up at that point. Ginny said, "that's my boy, he always does the right and loving thing."
Dad Riley asked if anyone knew what the award tomorrow was about and they all said no. Little did they know how much they were going to be surprised in the temple, nor did they know the special people who would also be there.
It was getting late so the older adults decided it was time to turn in for the night so they could get up in the morning and have breakfast before it was time to go to the temple.
Each of the boys went to their bedroom, stripped-down as usual, and climbed into bed. Jaiden pulled Peyton close to him and gave him gentle kisses while looking into his baby blue eyes thinking about how much he loved Peyton. He kept looking into Peyton's eyes as he placed his hand on the side of Peyton's head and softly ran his fingers through his love's hair.
It was coincidental that Dale was showing Charley how much he loved him by running his fingers through Charley's ginger hair. There would be no sex tonight, just a pure showing of true love.
Everyone got up early in the morning and headed for the dining room. The boys were extremely surprised to find out that Ginny had gotten the recipe for the banana macadamia nut waffles and had somehow gotten the Maui syrup to go with them. And they smelled the unmistakable aroma of the Maui coffee they had enjoyed in Maui. Ginny found herself surrounded by four boys hugging her and telling her and Gampy how much they loved them. Ginny knew, and she returned that love in the best way she knew how filling the boy's stomachs with the best food possible. Ginny and the boy's parents were all smiles as they watched their sons scarf down those delicious waffles.
When they all got to the synagogue, Jaiden, Peyton, Dale, and Charley pulled out and donned their kippahs as they took their seats together since the synagogue allowed women to sit with their husbands and their children. Dad Riley especially teared up as he watched Dale and Charley affix their kippahs on their heads. He was so surprised.
As Rabbi Eichmann entered the synagogue to begin the services, the boy's chins hit the floor as they saw Rabbis Kravitz and Belson right behind Rabbi Eichmann. Jaiden and Peyton got a tap on their shoulder and when they turned around, there were the Rebbetzins and the four boys who were grinning from ear to ear. Everyone watched as Peyton raised his hand to wipe tears from Jaiden's eyes.
Rabbi Eichmann announced to the congregation that Rabbis Kravitz and Belson would have a few words to say before the services began. The president of Hadassah was called to the lectern to join all three Rabbis. Rabbis Kravitz and Belson then gave eloquent speeches extolling the mitzvahs that Jaiden had performed over the past four years and how Peyton had help Jaiden make those mitzvahs a reality. When they had finished their speeches, the President of Hadassah approached the lectern and called for Jaiden and Peyton to join them on the stage.
As Jaiden and Peyton climbed the steps to the stage, Rabbis Kravitz, Belson, and Eichmann shook their hands and gave them loving hugs. When the Rabbis stepped back, they, too, had tears in their eyes.
The President of Hadassah, Mrs. Eliana Schwartz, began to speak about what Rabbis Kravitz and Belson had just said. She then said that the presentation that was about to be made was the first such award in the history of the Temple Ahavath Sholom and that Hadassah was extremely honored in having a part in presenting the award. Peyton and Jaiden looked at each other in total shock. Another first! Their parents had tears running down their faces.
Mrs. Schwartz asked Jaiden and Peyton to stand with her at the Lectern. Then she asked Dale and Charlie to join them. "Jaiden and Peyton, it is with extreme honor and pride that, in association with the Jewish Teen Association, that I present to you and Jaiden the Eddleman Teen Tikkun Gelfman Award for the work you have done for the past four years in saving the relationship and college careers of Dale and Charley, for the campus counseling program that has begun at Wellstone due to your efforts to help your fellow students to reduce their stresses thus causing a meteoric rise in grade point averages for many students, and on the recommendation of the college counselor, the University President, Rabbis Kravitz, Belson, Eichmann, and Schlottman, we are proud to present you with this check for $36,000 to help you with your living expenses and to help you in your continued efforts to support your fellow students both emotionally and scholastically. Congratulations young men!
As Mrs. Schwartz presented the award to Jaiden and Peyton, the Rabbis caught both boys before they hit the floor of the temple. Dr. Mom and Dr. Dad both went to the stage to help their sons recover from the shock of the new award. As Jaiden and Peyton recovered enough to return to their seats, Peyton looked out and saw Rabbi Schlottman. He and Jaiden walked to the Rabbi and embraced him for several minutes as all three shared some tears. Rabbi Schlottman told both young men how very proud he was of them and told Peyton that he was the first member of his home temple to ever receive such an award.
As Peyton and Jaiden were returning to their seats, all four of the Kravitz boys went running to them and jumped into Jaiden's and Peyton's arms. Jaiden and Peyton kneeled to the floor and lovingly hugged the boys and then gave them each a kiss on the forehead before walking them back to their parents. Dad Riley chuckled when he saw his two sons by birth and by choice, kiss the little boys on the forehead. He thought, "the family tradition continues!"
As the service was concluding Jaiden and Peyton were again called to the lectern with the three Rabbis who had now been joined by Rabbi Schlottman and the four major officers of the temple. Jaiden and Peyton were asked to recite the Shema. He and Peyton joined hands with each other and then took the hands of the other men on the stage, raised all their hands to the Heavens, and recited the entire Shema to end the service. When Jaiden and Peyton finished the recitation, there wasn't a dry eye in the temple.
As all the families were exiting the synagogue, all four Rabbis and their families descended on Jaiden, Peyton, Charley, and Dale giving them hugs and pats on their backs. The Kravitz boys again grabbed hold of the four young men and gave each repeated hugs.
The entire congregation also gathered around the four young men to congratulate them. What shocked the boys the most was that President Jefferson was at the temple and shook each of the boy's hands and then said, "make that ten first-evers." Then Tony, who had snuck in unbeknownst to the boys, walked up to the boys, hugged them and cried with them. He told each boy how proud he was of them and that he would make sure every customer of the pizzeria knew of the ninth and tenth first-ever.
The media from Florida, Brevard, Erie, and Abingdon also were present and were going to report on the ceremony. Television reporters from Milton and Pensacola were also there and interviewed all four boys for a story to appear on that evening's six o'clock news. They would report that it was now ten first-evers.
As the crowd dispersed and the boys were headed to the car to go eat, Dale and Charley heard familiar voices yell "wait."
As all four boys turned around, the Rileys and Dr. Mom were hugely smiling. There stood Dale's and Charley's parents. Both boys ran to their parents and cried uncontrollably. Both Dads again told both boys that they loved them and were very proud of them. When Dale and Charley recovered from the shock, everybody headed to the country club for lunch. They were surprised when they got to the club and saw the Kravitz and Belson families there waiting on them. The parents would finally get to meet the revered Rabbis and their families.
As everyone entered the country club, everybody in the club stood and gave the boys a thunderous round of applause. The club manager came over and shook the boy's hands and told everyone that in honor of what had occurred this morning that their lunch was on the club. Needless to say, all the adults were in shock. They all enjoyed prime rib and an assortment of vegetables, with the four young boys enjoying burgers and fries.
After they had finished lunch, they all returned home for everyone to see the pictures and hear the stories of Maui, including the erasure of tan lines as told by Rabbis Kravitz and Belson. The Rebbetzins and the other adults were laughing so hard that tears were rolling from their eyes. Ginny looked over her glasses and said, "Jaiden, Peyton?" Jaiden replied, "Yes, mam, Ginny we did," after which everyone started laughing. Jaiden and Peyton had gotten caught by Ginny. It was ok, though, after Ginny `questioned' Jaiden and Peyton, she was doubled over laughing with the other adults.
All the parents loved meeting and talking with Rabbis Kravitz and Belson and their families. They especially enjoyed watching and listening to four little, inquisitive boys. Dr. Mom and the Rileys said they would attend services the following Saturday morning while they were in Erie to see the boy's new home. Unfortunately the Andersons and the Leonards would have to return to Florida soon after seeing the boy's new home.
The other guests sans the Rileys and Ginny and Gampy headed to their hotels and would meet up tomorrow to fly to Erie to see the boy's new home in Erie after which the Andersons and the Leonards would head home.
The Rileys would be staying the week with the boys at their new home and would attend Saturday morning services at Temple Anshe Hesed. There would be a surprise there that no one but the Rabbis and Rebbetzins knew about.
Everyone got up the next morning to another breakfast Ginny knew the boys had and loved while in Maui. To say she blew the boy's minds by preparing the meal exactly the way they were cooked in Maui would be a gross understatement. Ginny truly loves "her boys."
Everybody piled into their vehicles and headed to the airport to fly to Erie to see the boy's new home. A rental car, a Lincoln Navigator, would be waiting on them when they arrived in Erie. While the parents helped purchase the home, they had not seen it. A decorator had been hired to decorate the home and did an awesome job with everything down to the smallest piece of furniture.
As they pulled into the driveway, there was a strange car at the entrance to the garage. Jaiden mused who could be at the house. Peyton was trying to guess as well since he and Jaiden didn't expect anyone to be at the house.
What they didn't see and didn't know was that Dr. Mom had slipped Rebbetzin Kravitz a key to the house to let a surprise guest go inside and hide. As the boys and their parents went inside, they smelled the aroma of fresh coffee. At the point they smelled the coffee, Rebbetzin Kravitz knocked on the door to give the boys a homemade coconut cake she had made. While they were at the door inviting the Kravitz clan inside, the surprise guest slipped quietly in the dining room and was standing behind the parents. Dale and Charley were remaining completely mum.
Jaiden and Peyton reentered the dining room with the Kravitz's and placed the cake on the table. As they stood up from bending over to place the cake on the table, Peyton caught a glimpse of the surprise guest, it was his sister, Jenny. He immediately embraced Jenny and cried his heart out as she told him she was so proud of him and had hidden in the women's upstairs seating at the synagogue and had seen the entire ceremony. Jaiden joined the embrace and was rubbing Peyton's back trying to help him regain his composure. Mom and Dad Riley teared up at Peyton's reaction at seeing Jenny.
Jenny would be staying at the Kravitz's home that night since all the bedrooms at Jaiden's and Peyton's were filled. When the Andersons and Leonards left for home, Jenny moved back to Peyton's and Jaiden's and occupied the left lower bedroom. She would be attending temple services with the family clan on Saturday morning. Dr. Mom decided to fly to Erie on Friday afternoon since she had a full slate of appointments at the clinic all week. She had Becky double book appointments on several days and would be staying late a few days to be able to be off on Friday.
They all had a slice of cake and a cup of coffee as they sat and talked for hours in the den. When everyone decided to get comfortable for the evening, the Kravitz clan excused themselves and went to their house next door.
As the parents were getting comfortable for the evening, Jenny went outside to sit on the deck and talk to Peyton and Jaiden.
Jenny said, "Peyton, have you and Jaiden discussed having children?" "Yes, Jenny, Jaiden and I have discussed that and we do want children in the next three or four years. Ginny lives here and has said she wants to help raise our children as she raised Jaiden, and I can't think of anybody else here that I would want to raise our children."
"Peyton, I am going to make an offer to you and Jaiden that Rob and I have discussed in detail. Rob, Mom, and Dad are fully supportive of what I am about to propose. I want you and Jaiden to think about it and give me your answer when you are ready.
"I want your children to be YOUR children, so I would like to participate in invitro procedures using Jaiden's sperm to fertilize several of my eggs and have them implanted in me so I can carry your child for you.
Jaiden, I have also talked to your mom about this idea and she is extremely supportive. The other side of the coin is that I would also like for you to have a child fathered by Peyton. Rob's sister, Jennifer, is also offering to have several of her eggs fertilized by Peyton's sperm and carry Peyton's baby for you two. Peyton, Mom and Dad have agreed to help fund the procedures and when Jaiden's Mom heard the idea, she, too, offered to fund the other half of the costs. Think about this and let me know when you are ready."
Jaiden and Peyton were trying to wrap their heads around what they had just heard. They were somewhat in disbelief of what they had just been offered, and they both put their heads in their hands and bawled. Jenny walked over and put her arms around Jaiden and Peyton and cried with them.
When Jaiden and Peyton had composed themselves, they looked at Jenny and told her the offer was overwhelmingly loving to them and they didn't have to ponder what they wanted to do. They accepted her offer and asked Jenny to call Jennifer so they could talk to her and thank her for what she has offered to do for them.
Jenny called Jennifer and when Jennifer answered the phone, Jenny told her she had just spoken to Jaiden and Peyton about their offers of the most special gift Jaiden and Peyton would ever receive. Jenny handed the phone to Peyton and walked inside the house so they could put the speakerphone on to talk to Jennifer. When Peyton started to try and talk to Jennifer, he and Jaiden again broke down and had trouble talking. Jennifer got them calmed down and told them she loved them and as Jenny said about Jaiden, Jennifer said she wanted Peyton to be able to father a child as well and she truly wanted to be a part of that miracle.
and Peyton told her they were blessed by her offer and they would accept it in due time. Jennifer told them to let her know when they were ready. The boys told her they loved her and would let her know when the time arrived.
Jenny had gone to the Kravitz's house and gone to bed, so the boys went into the den closed the curtains, dimmed the lights, put on some soft jazz, stripped completely, and climbed into bed. It wasn't but a few minutes later when they were in a romantic tryst giving sensual oral pleasures to their spouses. They had been smart enough to hide wet washcloths in the den in case they decided to do what they had just done.
Jaiden hugged Peyton and then cuddled with him running his fingers through Peyton's hair until they fell asleep in each other's arms.
Dale and Charley kissed tenderly for a while until Charley fell asleep in Dale's embrace. Tomorrow night, they would be in their beds for the first time
It had been a whirlwind day, soft jazz was playing, the lights were dimmed, and the "brothers" were sleeping peacefully in their spouse's arms.
