The Bargain Part-6 CGW
The Bishop thanked all for their hospitality during such times and told Kirk that he was at the right place for ever after and bid the others farewell until he met them tomorrow at the memorial service for Greta. Reed, Olga, The Bishop and his wife left the compound. They all spoke along the way about the Wedding on Saturday for Inga and Adam, the status of the unfinished homes there on the place. Olga remarked if the men there have to work around the clock they would get at least 2 places completed on time. The Bishop responded; I feel that they will get a lot more done than they think they will, after I'm finished with a few people I know then smiled as Reed drove back to the township.
Adam showed Kirk around the place, he showed him the yet unfinished guest quarters it was like an semi-one bedroom place with a all in one living-kitchenette-eating area combo, a small bath with a nice sized shower area that would be finished in a couple of days at max. Kirk was very impressed with the place and asked if he could still sleep there until the place was completed since the toilet worked, Adam responded; I don't see why not at least it has a complete roof and that was better than his and Inga's place next door and laughed.
The two returned to the group when Jacob told Kirk that it was nice to talk to him but before he was allowed to continue there was the matter of a bath that was needed by him. He blushed and replied; guess I might be a little strong since it's been a while. Clay a little strong is putting it lightly, more like you stink like crap but that's to be understood so you will be getting the full treatment. Kirk replied that he had no clean clothes, Eleck replied; that we have covered several others have extras for you to wear until new ones can be made for you so follow me to the tub young man.
Kirk was shown to the bath, he removed his clothes and had just settled into the bath water when the door opened and Jacob, Clay, Eleck along with Inga entered and announced that they were there to make him look presentable to the world. Inga washed and cut his hair, Jacob shaved his handsome face and all four tackled his hands and feet. He sat there embarrassed covering himself as best as he could when Inga remarked; you had better get to scrubbing before the four of us do it for you, Kirk started to clean himself as they left, Jacob remarked you will find your clothes here on the bench, come out when you are finished so we can get to know each other better over a dessert or two.
Kirk walked out of the house a brand new man, Inga elbowed Adam and said; good thing he didn't get here before you did and laughed.
Kirk thanked everyone for be so nice and the clean clothes. Jacob sat down a slice of pie and told Kirk he earned it. Kirk smiled and thanked him. Jacob looked at Sven and remarked; at least he has manors and doesn't just grunt, Sven replied no more than you were last night. That brought a scowling look from Jacob, Helm said; looks like Hanna and her sisters for some folks around here for a few days, everyone laughed.
The next day was a long morning Reed, Olga, Inga and Otto went to attend services for Greta, everyone watched over Tommy while they were gone. Otto held Clark at the services, everyone paid their respects to the family they understood that Tommy was sick and Otto attended in his place out of respect for Greta. The Bishop requested that everyone remain after the family went home to carry the baby to Tommy.
The Bishop stood in front of the congregation and told them about The Promised Land and what it was all about to the people who called it home. He spoke about what he had witnessed during the birth of baby Elizabeth Anne and she was the result of love between two wonderful people a young man named Peter and his partner Scott one of the special ones but sometimes as the outsiders or even the whites. I come to you today to gather help for them to build some more homes, they have started to build them already but they will need extra help if one young couple intends to get married on Saturday.
I know that there are home builders that have a few extra models that need to be relocated soon due to the turndown unless they wish all to know everything. One man remarked we have 6 that we can move today, another replied I can donate 5 -- 6 to be relocated, the next gentleman stood up and said; I will donate 10 homes completed and ready to live in as a gift for these young people who are special and in need, my grandson Erin will never have to ask where he fits in since he's special and I challenge others to follow my lead and help with whatever they need.
The bishop's wife spoke; they are in need of extra clothing for the children and adults that will be arriving there and material for sewing. We need a storehouse for extra supplies they are donated also, so go forth and meet back here in one hour and we shall make the journey out there. A gentleman in the back stood up we have 3 box trucks for transportation and 5 busses for folks to travel in to this Promised Land place and I will be driving the biggest truck directly from my store full of supplies. Everyone dispersed and agreed to return in one hour.
The Bishop was amazed at the turnout of folks willing to help at The Promised Land; Buses were packed along with the box trucks followed up by people in trucks, cars and wagons. There was a line of homes being moved to the settlement some ready to live in and others that were shells waiting to be completed.
Sven whistled out to get everyone's attention, All I can see is a steady line of buses and trucks headed this way looks like something is going on everyone standby, get the children inside.
The first box truck entered the gate, Sven who was on the roof of a home being built saw the Bishop waving his arms, he hollered; it's the Bishop headed this way I'm coming down. Reed, Adam, Kirk, Helm, Charlie, Peter, Olga, Otto, Rob, Evan and Inga were standing locked in arms as the truck arrived Sven joined them to stand against anyone who might mean them harm.
The truck stopped and out stepped the Bishop who walked up to Sven, Rob and the group and said; I have brought your friends and neighbors to help with the settlement, we have supplies, building materials, clothing and behind all of this we have 20 homes headed this way, ready to be placed on foundations to help out with the wonderful job that you are doing here. Plus we have a resident for you today; Old Ben's Grandson Erin is in need of your special guidance in these untested waters of his life. This is a request of Ben himself who is bringing 10 homes himself. Sven had to take a seat before he fell down; never had he ever dreamed anything like this when he and Doc. Rob started this settlement for the other ones.
Sven walked to the house and told the others to come outside and see how glorious he works when you pray for help. Jacob, Clay Eleck and Tommy walked outside; Otto was helping Tommy and baby Elizabeth. Clayton and Jake were being held by Jacob and Clay.
The Bishop remarked if you can use the help we have 150 men here to help with the homes and the ladies here to help with the food and getting the new store room set up for you and any new arrivals you have coming which will be plenty if the all mighty has anything to do with it. Sven cried as the Bishop spoke, Jacob stayed by his partner's side holding their son tight.
An older man came walking up followed by a thin young man about 20 years old carrying a suitcase, He introduced himself as Ben and the young lad was his Grandson Erin who needed a place to stay since he was getting on in years and his other children treated him with disgust, I trust you will see that he's broken in right here so no harm comes to him. Jacob smiled and replied Mr. Ben, Erin is safe here in his new home, we are all family here, he will learn about his differences from others here at the Promised Land.
Ben hugged his grandson and told him to be grateful for the start in life he would be afforded here and he would be by to visit him often. Erin started to cry as his grandfather walked away, Olga wrapped her arm across the lads shoulder and walked him inside and motioned Rob to come along.
Rob sat down with the lad and told him if he needed to know anything to ask him because he was the Doctor, he lived here with his partner Clay and their son Clayton.
Erin asked; what's wrong with me, what went wrong with me when I was born to make me the way I am. Rob took Erin's hand and took a deep breath and started to explain to him everything that happened to all of those children born during the virus outbreak. Soon Erin had so many questions that Olga had to help out with the answers. Tommy came walking inside and stood there with his hand on his stomach, Olga asked if everything was okay with him to which he replied he was fine, the baby was very restless with everything going on the past couple of days. Olga had Tommy walk over to her and laid Erin's hand upon his belly and said; this is what makes you special Erin if you choose, you can have a baby of your own.
Erin was without words as he felt the baby kicking, Otto walked inside to check on Tommy and placed his hand alongside Erin's who looked at the big man, and remarked yes this is our son who will be here very soon, I'm very proud of Tommy for this opportunity to become a father myself.
Otto remarked; you can choose for yourself if you want to take this path to parenthood, no one will force this upon you if you don't wish it to be besides you'll have to find you a baby daddy first who's willing to knock you up. Erin laughed and smiled, I don't feel like a misfit amongst the folks here. I wish to go find my Grandfather and help out with the homes, Otto replied; let me lead the way young man and they walked out the door.
Erin found his Grandfather and walked up to him and hugged him. Thanks Grandfather I'm going to be okay here with others of my kind, I will be safe here and you are always welcome to visit me when you wish I will have a room for you when you arrive. Ben hugged Erin and asked if he was ready to work, Erin replied; just don't slow me down old man and laughed.
Sven walked up to Rob and remarked; looks like young Erin will fit in here just fine, Rob said; yes he will in fact. Rob's phone rang which was strange to get a signal here at the settlement; he placed it on speaker to hear the person on the other end.
Boy is that you on this phone, Rob was shocked, Pop's voice was clear as could be. Yes sir it's me is everything okay at home sir, How in the hell should I know we are at 30,000 ft headed your way and should be arriving there in about 2-1/2 hours if Laurence will kick this ole girl in her big ass. We will pick up a rental and meet you anywhere you want to meet us son and severed the connection. Rob was mortified his parents were on the way to see him.
Sven sat beside Rob and wrapped his arm around his shoulder and remarked; okay inquiring minds want to know, so the jig is up spill it we want to know everything about Rob Roberts and his Pops.
Rob took out his wallet and removed a photo of a tall man in a cowboy hat, him in his graduation gown and another man in a wildly colored outfit with a big floppy hat, these are my parents Pop's and Dad, Clay asked who was the good looking young man in the next photo, a older sibling. Rob smiled and responded that's Howard he's from the farm and an ex crush of mine; you don't have to worry about him he's hooked up with another guy now.
Clay looked at Rob strange and asked; just much how of an ex-crush is he, Rob took a deep breath and said; at 16 being impulsive I decided to explore my cravings, he was 22 at the time and damned good looking. I snuck into his bunkroom and into his shower with him; he took me to bed and busted my virgin ass that night. He's the only man that ever bedded me, after him I decided that it was top or nothing for me.
Clay asked; what did your parents think about that, Rob answered; I didn't say a thing, but Howard had the guilt's and confessed everything to Pop's, offered to go to jail. Dad wasn't told who but it was taken care of by Pop's so Howard wouldn't be in Jail. I limped around for a week and couldn't sit straight for a few days after he busted me. I promised Pop's; Howard and all men were off limits, due to my sore ass I had learned my lesson.
I hadn't had any contact with anyone until Clay and we've had a bit too much so in about 8 months it looks like he will be pushing out another bundle of joy. Everyone was blown away, Sven looked at Jacob and said; don't get ideas we need more rooms first. Everyone laughed at his reaction.
By the end of the first day several homes were on their pylons, the store room was organized and full of supplies. Kirk's shower just had to dry but it was finished along with the rest of the cabin. Adam and Inga's home was dried in and well on the way to completion. Everyone was getting ready to load up and return tomorrow.
Rob drove into the settlement he was followed by his parents and another man in their vehicle. Pop's and Dad got out first when Pop's knocked on the man's window; he squeezed out the rear door. He was a tall man, well groomed and a hunk; this didn't go unnoticed by one of the newest residents of the settlement. Howard looked around and saw his good buddy Rob and walked over and gave him a gigantic bear hug lifting him off the ground.
Rob was a little perplexed at why Howard and his parents would be together and where was Roy they never went anywhere without each other. Rob asked was Roy at, dad said where the hell ever he found in biggest dick to fuck him that's where the piece shits at, good riddance. Roy looked at his old friend and said; I'm very sorry I hope that I didn't upset you. Howard took a deep breath and said it's been a few months I couldn't talk about it in your parents would not let me stay at home alone so here I am.
Rob smiled and said I want to introduce someone to you Pops and dad and Howard Clay walked up carrying Clayton when Rob introduced him this is my partner Clay and this is our son Clayton Robert Roberts. Pops was blown away dad on the other hand was so excited to have a grandbaby boy could he spall him rotten and he would definitely would. Howard smiled and said congratulations you got the family you always wanted. Clay rubbed his belly he said you in about eight months number two's on the way.
Pops looked at it and said number two is on the way what are you talking about, Roy replied pops this is a special place this is nothing like you've ever seen before there are certain people here that are very special and that's why we're building this community here so they can have a life and never fear that their life are their children's lives will be in jeopardy. He said let me get Howard situated in a place to stay then will figure out what to do with you and pops and dad then we can talk more. Olga cleared her throat and said your parents can stay in our home we have plenty of extra rooms now that all the kids are gone plus I can catch up on some of the gossip about you I think you dad would like that and Reed can always visit with your pops. Kirk remarked; if Howard doesn't mind the sofa are sharing a bed with a another dude he can sleep at my place I got enough room for me and him and a good size shower was long as he stays on his side the bed. Howard thanked him and asked him to show him where the house was after he got his luggage.
Erin watched the new man walk behind Kirk and licked his lips, that was one good looking sonofabitch and his size he could definitely break someone in proper but it wasn't going to be a tap it and go it would be for a lifetime or no ass at all. Young Erin sexy little self had not escaped the eyes of the good-looking well hung Howard ether he sure would like to get in that little cute ass might even make it a little bit wider.
Howard and Kirk spoke as they walked to his place they got to know each other a little bit and found that they had a few things in common likes and dislikes even though what they were raised in two separate worlds. Kirk explained to Howard what made some of the young men special here in the settlement, Howard was at a loss for words he didn't know anything was even possible like that. Howard asked do you have anyone special, Kirk replied at one time but not anymore he's dead and so is my brother. Howard was at a loss for words but Kirk understood everything when he saw a tear flow down Howard's right cheek.
Howard was getting settled in and packing away his clothes as Kirk and him spoke, they were like old friends in no time.
