The Mennonite - A New Start 4 CGW
Cameron began to tire and it was agreed that he needed to go inside and rest for the night. As we got him settled in the bed I looked at the two boys and said; now remember what the Doctor said about no strenuous activities, so no hand jobs, blow jobs and diffidently no putting the stallion in the barn. Both boys blushed a bright red, Amma spoke up and said; you mean these two have been doing the you know what together. Cameron spoke to his mother through his wired jaw, mama I'm not a little boy anymore, I love Izaack and he loves me and we are going to live the rest of our lives together.
Yes Amma, I said; they are a mated pair, just where do you think he was when disappeared to for the week-end before he was beaten. And this is their home that you are standing in. Amma kissed her son and wished him the very best in his life with the fine young man he chose to spend his life with. She then hugged Izaack and said; keep him safe he has a tendency to be careless and too trusting of people.
I asked for Amma and Anne to join Micah and me at our home when they left for the evening. We were at house for about 30 minutes when the doorbell rang, David opened the door and let them in they had a seat and Amma asked; if they had done something wrong or upset anyone. Micah laughed and said; no Amma what you did was something right.
Clayton and I are opening a new section up in the Giving Community and it will consist on a new Seniors Center and 75 new larger 2 bedroom Homes the first one to be completed is for you and Anne. Also you will be in charge of Amma's Center for Senior Citizens; what do you think about that Amma. She was speechless, which brings me to you young Anne I have seen your wood crafts and the furniture you have made when you thought no one was watching you, which I must say is better than any of the Mennonite furniture built by the men here.
She thanked Micah for the compliment.
Starting on the Monday after you graduate you will take over the furniture design and manufacturing department at the mill and if any Mennonite man has a problem working for you send them to me and I'll set them straight, because they can always work at the farm in the fields.
Anne couldn't contain herself and hugged Micah in gratitude, embarrassed by her action she dropped to her knees and said; I'm so sorry for touching you Elder Micah. Micah helped the young lady off of her knees and said; never be ashamed to express yourself in thankful gratitude. You are just as good as any of our young men and they would be lucky to work alongside you at the mill, I fully expect you to enlarge the department because you have 75 homes to design and build furniture and the insides for as soon as you start, if you need more employees and equipment it will be yours to have.
Two weeks after Cameron was discharged, we carried him to see Doctor Ed during the exam the said something to Doctor Ed. He asked; Izaack what did Cameron say. He repeated it to Izaack who turned red faced and said; he wants to know if we can have sex Doc his blue balls are killing him. Doc Ed almost choked and said; as long there is no pressure placed on top of him and it causes him no pain you can take it slowly and engage in relations. So Doc is a hand job ok? Yes. How about a blow job? Yes. Can he park the Stallion in the barn? Doctor Ed said; what's that even mean Izaack. Doc there is a metal bar over the bed and I could use it to lower myself down onto him so there is not any weight on his body and then I can ride him to completion. It was Doctor Ed's turn to be red in the face, just as long as it causes him no pain, he can park the stallion in your barn, and he got up, shook his head and left the room saying I'll see you in two weeks.
We went back to the house and when we arrived there was a police truck waiting for us. Micah helped get Cameron to the bed where the officer questioned Cameron about the events of his assault. He remembered nothing about the day, the officer said; that if he couldn't remember who beat him and no one would come forward the names of men on the list was useless under the law. Other than the 2 men that admitted to beating him, the other 10 would go free and charges would be dropped. Anne stepped forward and said; that will never happen I will testify to what I saw with my own eyes, to make sure justice for Cameron was served, may they rot on jail for a very long time.
The prosecutor listened to Anne's testimony and said; we will shoot for the max sentence of 75 years at trial or we will offer then 25 years straight time for a guilty confession, the other 2 have already agreed to the lesser time of 25 years. This offer is for everyone but the victim's father, his minimum offer is 50 years.
Within 2 weeks all of those involved had been sentenced to prison time in a maximum security facility. The father took his life before he started his sentence when he hung himself in his cell and no one would claim the body so he was buried in the prison graveyard.
It had been 6 months since the assault and Cameron was walking with the help of a walker and his therapist, the medical staff was amazed with his progress, soon he hoped to start working again and his new job.
Erwin and Tommie were doing very good in their life together most Monday mornings Erwin had Tommie walking a little funny. I asked; Tommie how it was going? He said; it is perfect and I love my man, he keeps me on my back for most of the entire weekend and I love it, I'm a little sore on Mondays but I wouldn't want it any other way.
Izaack called from the specialist office and said; they are getting ready to remove the cast's from his legs today Poppa, I forgot to bring him any pants to wear because we weren't expecting it, what do we do. Izaack stay there Daddy and I will bring him some underwear and lounge pants so they won't bind him as he walks freely for the first time in 8 months. I called Amma and asked if she wanted to take a trip and see her son walk on his own for the first time in 8 months the phone went dead within minutes she was at the door and said; I'm ready to go.
It took us a few hours to arrive at the Doctor's office with the clothes, Izaack took the clothes and said; wait here you have to see this for yourself. The Door opened and Cameron walked out by himself supported by two canes. Amma burst out in tears and said; I'm so proud on my beautiful son he walked at 8 months and once again it took him 8 months to walk again. Cameron hugged his mom and said; let's go home it's been a long day.
Micah made a call and came back to the truck and said; let's go home Beth will have a meal ready for us when we get home. When we pulled into the Community he stopped at the commons park and there were tables and people everywhere and a sign that read "Congratulations Cameron". A cheer went up when he got out of the truck and walked to the park and took a seat at the table. David was one of the first to congratulate Cameron, so I guess this means I can't call you plaster butt anymore. David you can call me anything you want to, I'm just glad to have those heavy things off of my legs. Yep, now with those things out of the way you'll be able to take care of Izaack's hot ass.
Micah put his hand over David's mouth and carried him to the truck. All of the time David saying; I know I'm in trouble again, but I only said what everyone knows about Izaack' ass, he can melt a block of ice by just sitting on it.
Cameron said; Please Poppa ask Daddy to let David go he can't help but tell the truth, because everyone knows Izaack does have one hot little ass, and I love him because of it.
Amma remarked; Clayton you and Micah have your hands full with that young David. Yes we do but I wouldn't want him any other way, let me go rescue him from his Daddy. David sat in the back seat as his Daddy was chewing him out for his very poor choice of words about Izaack, I walked up and stood beside Micah placing my hand on his butt cheek and said; I remember someone with a irresistible ass in this family and it still drives me nuts. Honey; Cameron wants you to take it easy on David so he can sit next to him at the table, and he is correct Izaack has always had a hot ass, just ask Galen he should know better than most. David, apologize to your Daddy for your big mouth and go sit beside Cameron. David said; he was sorry for telling the truth out loud, and ran as fast as he could to the table.
I kissed Micah with a very passionate kiss and held him tight, I whispered Micah Earl Gunderson I love you so much.
David slid up beside Cameron and gently hugged and said; thanks for saving my butt. Cameron asked; where's Poppa and Daddy at? David pointed behind him and said; making out by the truck. When we walked up holding hands Beth popped of so the old man's still got it huh. Micah smiled and said; there may be snow on the roof but there's still a fire in the furnace. Adam said; TMI. Makayla remarked; you just wish you could be half the man that your Daddy is when you are his age.
I said; after that quote, let's bless this meal.
They next morning tragedy struck our quiet little world. Steve, Clay's partner was hit head-on and died instantly when a gravel truck tried passing a vehicle while going up a hill. The police were looking for Clay to tell him, Micah said; he and Izaiah would go to the farm and pick him up and bring him home, I needed to inform the family of the death. I called all of the family members to report to the house now, within minutes the house was full. I placed a conference call to Josiah in the US, Eve in the US and to Izabella in Paris. When they were all on line, I informed every one of the tragedy and asked for those that were able, to come home. They all said they would be on the next fight home and would call with the information on their flights.
Josiah and Eve would be here by 6:00 pm at the International airport and Galen would pick them up. Izabella would be home in 2 days, Micah and David would pick her up.
Micah and Izaiah came in the front door carrying Clay who collapsed as he walked from the truck. He was laid on David and Robert's bed, Beth pulled up a chair and sat by his side. Micah stepped to the kitchen and told me the officer said; they were still trying to free Steve's body from the wreckage but it was bad. He showed me a photo of the wreck and the gravel truck was sitting on top of Steve's truck which was underneath the rear-duels. I said; never show this photo to Clay he won't be able to handle it. Micah agreed with me. Daddy, Poppa he's coming to, we went to his bedside as did Izaiah and Zeak. Clay said; I need to see Steve, when can we go see him Izaiah said; not now son it will be a while. Clay sat up and said; take me to him now. I said; Clay sweetheart, it's too soon they don't have him ready yet for you to see him. He looked at me and said; Poppa what's wrong why won't anybody take me to see him. Clay what do you remember about what Izaiah and Micah said to you. They said; he was hurt in a wreck. No sweetheart he wasn't hurt in a wreck, Steve died in the wreck and he was trapped in the truck and they must get him freed from the wreckage of the vehicle; they will call us to go see him when they are ready, I want you to take this pill so you can rest for now, Beth handed me a pill and a glass of water and Clay took the pill and drank the water within 5 minutes he was out.
He will be out for a while, hopefully by then the authorities will call us with some news. Izaiah stood up and asked Micah if he would take him to the scene so he could make sure Steve was handled with respect, Micah agreed and they left.
I told Galen the flight should be in at about 6:00 pm, to give himself plenty of time to get there safely. Yes Poppa I will take my time. Adam said; I'll go with you Galen, Daniel and Jonah said; they would go also if he would take the larger van. Galen agreed the larger van would be safer.
When the boys arrived back from the airport I could tell there was a problem. I asked Galen what's wrong son? He looked down and said; I want to whip Josiah's ass, all he did was complained the whole trip back, that his plans were ruined, he should have just sent flowers. I walked to the living room and grabbed Josiah by his ear and yanked him off of the couch and drug his sorry ass out the front door and hit my son in his mouth with my fist putting him on his ass. Then I took off my belt and whipped his ass until I couldn't whip him anymore. I got up and said; get your sorry ass in that house and tell your Daddy what you said before I do and you'll get another ass whipping and it will be even worse, you not be returning anywhere You are home to stay.
He went to his Daddy and told him what he did and said; Micah took out his phone and showed him the photo of the wreck and grabbed our son by his shirt collar and took him back outside, the whole house could hear the shrieks of pain as his Daddy whipped his ungrateful ass.
Josiah came into the living room and apologized to the family for his commits and asked for forgiveness. Micah said; you will never say one word to Clay about how you disrespected Steve's memory. Josiah said; yes sir I will never utter a word to him out of honor and respect for he and Steve. Now Josiah grab you some blankets and make a pallet beside the bed in Daniel and Jonah's room and get your ass out of my sight.
At 9:00 pm the officer stopped by and said; Steve's body had been taken to be prepared. But it would have to be a closed casket.
Anne knocked at the door and walked in when she was asked to enter. Elder Micah; I have finished the casket for Steve that you requested, I hope it meets with your approval I have it on my truck ready for delivery when needed. Micah said; let's take a look at it young lady.
On her truck was a wooden casket light in color, with scenes of farm life painted along the sides. On the top was a corn stalk with his name painted on the across it. It was a work of art she had created. He was always very nice to me when I came to the store. This is how I can show my respect for him; I hope it meets with your approval. All Micah could do was shake his head yes as his heart broke.
Adam, go get you brother and bring him here so he can understand what it means to respect someone properly. Adam returned with Josiah and walked him to his father, Micah grabbed Josiah by his collar and said; take a good long look, this is how you respect a good friend that was always nice to others and apologize to Anne.
Josiah couldn't believe the beauty that was displayed on the casket, never had he seen such work done before. He hung his head and told Anne he was sorry and thanked her for such a beautiful tribute. Then he walked back to the house.
Izaiah asked Anne if he could accompany her to the funeral home and deliver the casket. She said; she would be honored. Micah said; I'm going also. They drove off.
