The Bargain -- 4 CGW
Peter walked outside to the tables and introduced himself to the new men sitting there, he watched as Helm stood up to shake his hand. This guy was huge what a bonus he would be on the place; Peter leaned over and shook Eleck's hand, saying his partner Scott would be out shortly to meet them as soon as he made himself presentable.
Jacob knocked on the bedroom door and told Scott; be outside and greet the new arrivals Helm and Eleck in 5 minutes, Scott responded on my way in 2 Sir.
Sven was busy looking in the sock drawer for a pair that were not in too bad of shape when Jacob handed him a new pair and his older boots for Helm to have. Sven gave Jacob a strange look at the well worn boots he handed him, Jacob responded; they will do for a few days until we purchase him a new pair in the township. Let's find a couple pair of your older pants and shirts to get him by, for Eleck it will be no problem between Clay and me.
Scott went outside to meet the new residents he was joined shortly by Tommy. Sven and Jacob came back outside with the boots and clothes for the young men to wear and gave them to them. Sven told Helm to turn around in his seat and he would help him to put the socks and boots on and tie them for him. Helm was embarrassed at the fact that he didn't know how to tie shoes or put on his socks and he apologized to Sven.
Sven smiled and replied we are all able to learn new things if we are just given the chance to do so. Once he had the boots laced up he told Helm to stand up and try and walk around in them see how they felt, Helm stood and was so proud to have his first pair of shoes to wear in his life.
Sven looked at Otto and Peter and said; work time boys, Helm replied I will help I am strong and can carry big loads. Sven smile and said; come along big guy, Helm went to leave but turned around and gave Eleck a kiss then told him to get to know everyone and show them how good you can bake and sew.
Jacob said; that man loves you very much doesn't he, Eleck smiled and responded as I do him too. Jacob asked; are there still others like us in your sect who need to be relocated, yes answered Eleck there are two more plus one's special friend, they are Adam, Evan and Charlie who is Evan's friend. Jacob asked what are they like, Evan is like Scott and Tommy, Charlie is Mr. Sven's size but Adam is as big as my Helm and very nice looking, all the girls flirt but won't let him near because of his size and he is one of the touched ones.
Jacob asked; is that what they call our kind in your sect, Eleck shook his head yes and looked down. Jacob growled; and there's a special place in Hell for their kind too.
Eleck asked Jacob if he could have some patch material along with some needle and thread he could make the clothes for Helm look like new, plus I can show the others how to fix items they thought were too worn to wear.
Tommy remarked; you must meet my sister Inga she can make just about anything given needle and thread along with a scrap of material. Eleck smile and replied; then we must meet one day then.
The next couple of weeks were very eventful Eleck and Helm were fitting in nicely in the group, the houses were being built in record time with a lumber hauler like Helm it couldn't be helped. The crew had to keep telling him to slow down they could only nail them up so fast. Scott and Tommy were doing great in their cooking classes not near as much food was being feed to the pigs and fowl, Tommy was even learning to sew thanks to Eleck that's one thing his sister Inga couldn't do as much as she tried to.
Rob, Sven, Jacob and Otto sat down with Helm and Eleck; speaking to them about a plan to get Evan, Charlie and Adam out of the southern sect and relocate them to the Compound for their protection. It was agreed that Rob and Olga would travel south and retrieve the young men before there was incident.
It was an early morning trip for Rob and Olga that took 5 hours by vehicle one way; Olga took a deep breath as they entered the Sect and prayed this would go off without a hitch. Rob pulled up at the gathering hall and stepped out of the rover, with Olga acting as his translator he asked to speak to the Sect leader about a matter of great importance.
The Elder came and asked; what was the problem that outsiders dare come into his Sect? Olga responded it was the virus that strikes the unborn again, we need to take the Touched Ones away to protect you from the Virus they carry within them, and this is the Doctor who is taking care of them in a location far removed from the Sects to protect everyone.
The leader was very upset and asked Olga did she know who the infected one's were she answered; the doctor needs to see the following people, Evan, Adam and a close friend by the name of Charlie to see if he was infected also. Olga translated to Rob what the Leader was ordering, he told a group of men to gather the man up not touching them and bring them to the Doctor for an exam. They were sat on a log one by one, Doc Rob put on a disposable gown, mask and gloves to examine them. This scared the crap out of the Leader and the people gawking; after he completed the exams he removed the protective equipment and sprayed the young men down with a can of Freshener with the label removed. Rob stepped away and spoke to Olga and told her what to say to the Elder.
Olga that it was caught very early and they were sprayed to make them safe to transport but Charlie was a carrier of the Virus and would have to leave also. The Elder shouted at the man and motioned towards to the Rover. Just as Eleck had said; Adam was a giant and had to sit in the luggage area sideways.
Soon they were on their way to The Promised Land, Olga looked back at the three scared young men and they were holding hand as a sign of support. After about 3 hours on the road the young men were totally lost, they didn't recognize anything.
Olga spoke in English; this is Dr. Rob and my name is Olga and I am his nurse, we are taking you three to the Promised Land to live. The three young men relaxed after that. Rob spoke; Helm and Eleck are waiting for your arrival as are the others and a very good meal given in your honor. Adam spoke up; that can't be the Elder that they were lost to a Jaguar Attack, Olga replied; sometimes people tell non-truths because they don't have the answers, rather than their flocks learning that two of theirs left for the Promised Land.
Rob dropped off Olga at her home and preceded to the next destination, somehow Adam was able to squeeze into the front seat for the rest of the way. The three couldn't believe their eyes as Rob pulled up to the houses; Adam pried his big self out of the Rover and stood up. Otto remarked I'm not messing with him if he gets mad, Sven you are on your own.
Charlie and Evan departed the Rover followed by Rob, Clay walked up and asked; was there any trouble with the trip, Rob responded; only that you weren't there along for the ride and kissed Clay. Evan, Charlie and Adam stood there gawking when Rob remarked; meet my partner Clay and our soon to be son as he rubbed Clay's belly. Helm walked up and hugged his cousin Adam and said; there a lot of things different here in the Promised Land so open your mind.
Charlie remarked; nobody cares about that pointing to Clay's belly, Jacob replied nope nobody cares that I'm almost ready to explode either, now the meal is on the table and my feet are swollen from being on them too many hours today so everyone have a seat so we may say grace.
There were plenty of questions by the three new residents at the table and most were answered but the reproduction process was too much for Adam to grasp, he would never be able to have a wife that could bare him children.
Adam was quiet for the rest of the evening until Sven sat beside him and remarked, I know it's a lot to process but you will understand the whole process soon but for tonight until we finish up a cabin the sofa at our place is yours the other two will share a room at Doc's place and that means we are full until we finish up the new resident quarters.
Adam and Charlie were a great help with the houses and Evan showed Tommy and Scott a few things in the kitchen, the next few days were busy ones.
Tommy had a late evening Clinic appointment for a scan because Rob was worried about his recent weight gain but the test showed everything was normal for his pregnancy.
When they arrived back at the farm Doc said there wasn't anything to panic about Tommy was just going to be big.
Saturday rolled around before they knew it and it was visitor's day for Tommy, he was excited that his parents were coming out and maybe Greta would be with them this time.
There was a fine meal set on the table when Reed and Olga arrived but no Greta, instead Inga Tommy's sister was with them; Tommy tried to hide behind Otto and Adam. Inga walked up to Otto and barked out move it boys it you like your junk, both men stepped to the side leaving poor Tommy standing there with his huge belly sticking out leaving no doubt he was expecting. Inga surprised her brother and hugged him and rubbed his belly. So this is my nephew I heard about and he's a whopper by the size you are, she turned to Otto and said; congratulations Otto on a job well done and hugged him.
Her eyes went to the huge Adam and remarked; wow did you eat all the people at your other home you good looking man to grow to such size, Helm spoke up and said; it runs in our family, big men. Inga replied and being so good looking doesn't hurt either. Helm not knowing any better than to speak the truth said; I'm not available but my cousin Adam has no one of his own to share his life with.
Inga started to laugh and patted Adam's arm and remarked your cousin gave you up fast boy he must be real fond of you to display you so fast. Reed told his daughter that was enough and she replied; yes father.
Olga remarked; Jacob the meal looks great but you and Clay need to slow down your getting close, Jacob replied we did nothing this was all cooked by Tommy, Scott, Eleck and Evan today. Olga replied; my Tommy can cook, will miracles never cease to happen.
Blessings were said and the meal started, soon everyone was full. Jacob asked Olga if she wanted to go inside out of the sun and cool down in the eating area, Olga replied sure why not, and they went inside. Olga took a seat and Jacob had just sat down when his eyes got big and he had a strange look on his face, Olga asked him if everything was ok, he shook his head no then said; my water just broke get Rob now because this baby is coming fast. Olga ran to the door and hollered Doc, you and Sven get inside and make it fast, Inga you also.
Rob was first inside followed by Sven and Inga; Rob knew what was happening when he saw the floor. Rob asked Jacob if he could make to the bedroom and he shook his head no, and said; it's coming out doc and fast. Rob had him stand up and Olga helped him get Jacob's pants down, Rob told Jacob not to push until he told him to push. Sven asked Jacob if he was in pain to which he responded no just a lot of pressure but no pain. Rob said; Inga, please gather some clean towels out of the laundry area and a blanket to wrap the baby in.
Sven leaned over the table and held Jacob's hand, Rob spoke and said; your doing fine now, but you are about to have this baby if you will push now, Jacob groaned and pushed and a perfect baby boy entered this world and started screaming his lungs off. Jacob asked if he was okay and there were any problems with the baby. Rob said; Jacob he is in fact the most perfect baby that I have ever delivered.
Sven was crying at the birth of his first son, he leaned over the table and kissed Jacob and told him he loved him. Rob wrapped the baby up and told Inga to prepare the bed for Jacob so Sven could place him in it after Olga cleaned him up. Rob was busy checking out the baby and cleaning him up, so what's the young man's name was going to be. Sven replied it will be Jake after someone who means the world to me. Sven carried Jacob to the bedroom and placed him in bed to rest.
Sven returned to the baby to check and see if Doc was finished with his exam, Rob told the new father to show his new son to the others from a distance, but until they were cleaned up there would be no visits until later. Sven beamed with pride as he stepped out on the porch to show his new son to the rest of the people at the compound. He announced that when the day was finished they could come by and see Little Jake and Jacob after they were all cleaned up, because no dirty one's are allowed to handle him.
Adam looked down as he started to walk away, Inga stepped in front of him and asked; why so down big man a new life has just arrived and it's a blessing. Adam answered; can't hold him because I'm all dirty and no fresh clothes to be had, only have two pair all are dirty until they are cleaned I have no time to clean the others. Inga smiled and said; that I can take care of while you work so rest assured you will have a chance to hold that baby, Adam smiled and told her the small brown basket in the laundry was his.
Inga walked into the house and went to the laundry and picked the basked that contained Adams clothes, it smelled of a man who worked hard for himself and that pleased Inga, she smelled his shirt when she picked it up to her is was perfect. She placed it into the washtub and picked up his pants rolled inside was his undergarment she took a ragged breath when she placed her hand on its crotch, she placed it up to her nose and took a deep breath it was a wonderful smell. It was Adam's essence, his being that filled her nostrils when she heard someone coming to the laundry area she quickly put them into the wash water and started to scrub them.
Olga was surprised to see her daughter doing laundry; she hated doing it at home. Olga asked what she was doing and Inga answered; these are Adams things if he is to see the baby they must be cleaned and dry before this evening mother so I told him I would take care of these for him while he worked.
Olga smiled; he is quite good looking isn't he, Inga replied; who mom. My daughter you look at Adam with the same hunger that I looked at your father years ago don't try to deny it. Inga blushed she was busted. Just take it slow and gentle with him he has no experience at all in these matters, you will have to lead him gently and I believe you could be very happy together since you know everything about his condition like your brother has also. Inga sniffed and responded; he couldn't do anything to get me in trouble if we did it 24/7 in fact no man can unless there's a divine intervention involved, that was seen to years ago. Olga hugged her heart broken daughter and said; go fall in love with this young man Adam you have my blessings to live life on your terms and don't worry about your father I'll take care of him.
Towards the late afternoon the crew broke off building the houses, Olga and Reed had went home, Inga stayed behind to help with Jake and Doc when Clay's baby was to arrive.
Adam walked up to the house and was pleased to see Inga there smiling, Inga said; your bath is hot and ready for you, I will make your clothes ready for you to wear. Adam thanked her and headed for the tub, it was hot and inviting so he took off his shirt and had just stepped out of his pants when Inga cleared her throat. Adam almost jumped out of his skin and tried in vain to cover himself, Inga said; you have nothing I haven't seen before, I do have a brother you know. Adam replied; but I'm not your brother, no sir that your not are you responded Inga your butt is much nicer than his. Adam quickly jumped in the tub and covered himself.
Inga hung Adam's clean clothes and told him she was going to wash and trim his hair before he saw the baby because you only get one time to make a first impression. Adam was enjoying Inga's fingers running through his hair as she washed it when he remarked I hope that no one at home will be cross with you for cleaning another man's hair and trimming it.
Inga replied; nope not a chance, only hair I have to trim is fathers since Tommy moved. Now let me see your nails Adam, by the time she was finished Adam looked like a new man. Inga excused herself and told Adam his shoes were cleaned and by the door.
Adam stepped out of the bathroom, Eleck remarked holy spirits you look nice Adam, Helm seconded that comment. Inga spoke; would you Adam like to meet the baby now because he's ready to see you.
Jacob and Sven were shocked at the difference in Adam's appearance as he and Inga walked into the room, Sven told Adam to have a seat and walked over to him with Jake and placed the baby in his arms, he won't break you know. Adam get to know your new nephew since we are all family here he will have a lot of Uncles.
Adam was so proud to hold the lad in his arms as Inga stood beside him and placed her hand on his shoulder. Eleck entered the room and told Inga that it was Clay's time and she was needed, Inga leaned down and kissed Adam's cheek and said; duty calls I'll see you later then left the room. Adam was in shock as he realized she had kissed him.
Sven walked over and took Jake from the young man who had just received his first kiss from a female admirer. Adam turned beet red as he realized what had happened in front of others, he excused himself and walked to the porch. Tommy and Otto were sitting on the porch and that made things even worse for Adam, Tommy cleared his throat and remarked; my sister is very smitten with you and if she kissed your cheek she thinks a lot for you, just don't let her down.
Adam searched for his words and rambled when Otto spoke, looks like the feelings are mutual between the two of them so we had better make sure one of those houses is for them because wedding bells will soon be ringing, Tommy agreed.
Clay's labor was fast and delivery was very easy, soon Clayton Robert was welcomed into the world, Rob was one proud Daddy; Clay rested as Inga cleaned up the baby and handed him back to his Daddy who had welcomed his son into this world. Rob carried the baby to Clay and they cuddled together as a family.
Scott remarked there's two down and two to go then soon then its Eleck's turn as he smiled at Helm. Adam looked at his cousin and asked; did the two of you make a baby also, Eleck chuckled and placed Adam's hand upon his belly and told him to feel very closely. The baby moved and Adam jumped back and looked at his cousin then remarked; your child is in his belly, how did this happen so soon after arriving here.
Helm chuckled at Adams reaction, my dear innocent cousin this baby is the reason we left the Sect, we didn't want any harm to come to it or Eleck. Evan remarked; that's nice for you two. Charlie took his hand then said; as soon as our house is ready we will start on one of our own and he will be loved so much.
Rob walked out holding the baby and walked up to Adam then placed him in his arms, I thought that you would like to hold him first before anyone else Adam because we need to talk about him.
I heard your conversation earlier and I want to tell you something, that little boy will never know how he came to be he will only know happiness and joy in his life. I'm his Dad but I'm not his father, but if anyone ever means him or Clay harm I will see them 6 ft under and will answer to only one at the end of my life.
You don't have to have one's blood pumping through veins to be a parent, if Jake falls down or scrapes his knee I will be there for him to help him through the pain and to tell its okay. That's what a true parent does for a child, if you and Inga get together and you decide to have a child she will be its Mom, she might not have given birth to it but the child will turn to her for comfort and safety and you for guidance and love, together you will raise a child together side by side. So give life a chance, what do you have to lose but love and a great young lady sitting next to you.
Inga wrapped her arm around Adam's waist and said; we can wait and you and I can decide what's best for us.
Olga walked up to her husband and asked what was on his mind; Reed responded Inga shouldn't have stayed at the compound it's too far from home. Olga smiled at Reed and asked; when exactly did you know that I was the one for you, Reed looked at his wife and answered; the very first time I laid eyes on you and I waited for 2 years to marry you why. She's not a child Reed, she's 22 years old and if she's found someone that will love her who are we to stand in her way.
Reed looked at his wife with a serious look and asked; what do you mean love, who are you talking about. Think about it Reed and let me know in the morning because I'm tired and going to bed. Reed racked his brain and he couldn't think of any young man in the township who he had seen talking to his daughter.
Adam sat on the porch with Inga after everyone had went inside for the night and talked, Adam spoke; you know that I can't give you a child if that's what you wish. Inga smiled and responded; Adam something happened a long time ago it left me unable to bare children so if you want a brood mare you're out of luck here with me, nothing but a old stable nag here, but if you want a child we could always get you knocked up and laughed. Adam looked at her and said; ain't no man putting himself in me and breeding me like a brood mare. They both laughed, Adam leaned over and kissed Inga on her cheek and said; the first time we kiss on the lips will be on our wedding day young lady and walked her to the Doc's door, they embraced then Adam went home.
Sven was up and asked if he was going to be a gentleman to Inga, Adam replied; always but first I must gain permission from her father before I can ask her to marry me. Sven hugged the big man then bid him goodnight and entered the master room with a bottle in hand.
Adam lay on the sofa looking up at the ceiling most of the night trying to get his words right, before he knew it the sun was coming up.
Tommy came in the front door as Adam was sitting on the sofa still waking up, good morning Adam I've got to get the coffee on and breakfast started if you wish to keep me company I'll be in the kitchen and he headed through the door.
Adam sat down at a chair and Tommy handed him a cup of coffee and remarked; tell me what's on your mind besides my sister Inga, Adam replied; that's all that I can think of now, tell me why did you decide to let yourself be bred with the child that you carry. Tommy stopped, sat down and told him the whole story of him, Greta, Otto and the babies.
Adam sat there and asked for another cup of coffee and took a deep breath then inquired if he would let Otto upon him again to conceive another child. Tommy replied; with a simple answer; yes, yes I will because this child was conceived out of love, not duty or any other reason it's a blessing from above. And if you and Inga decide to start your own family you will do anything for your mate to please them.
Adam replied; the thought of another man getting on top of me and leaving his seed inside me just isn't what I thought becoming a parent would be like. Tommy looked into Adam's eyes and said; you would be asking her to do the same for you if she were able to bear your children wouldn't you Adam there's no difference just think about that for a while. Tommy got up and went back to cooking.
Adam had a lot to think about after talking to Tommy and his reasoning.
Reed walked by his wife and was heading towards the door when Olga asked just where do you think you are going this early. Reed replied; to speak to a man about a daughter my wife. Now Reed she's 22 and legal to make up her own mind if she wishes to, Yes my wife she is at that but she's still my daughter first and foremost and my job as her father is to make sure she's happy and safe so I will see you later then he walked out the door and drove off.
