The Z-1 Ranch P-129 CGW ©
Over the next couple of hours Artemis and Joe went over every detail with Wolseley. He tried as much as he could to tell them what they were asking but he still had a problem. He really didn't know any more about Selmar than he did before they started talking. Wolseley was getting a little tired and asked if he could take a rest.
Artemis and Joe agreed that they had been at it for a while and Aransas and Allison helped with the babies as much as they could.
Mr. Ben stopped by to introduce a new addition to the Z1. He was hoping that Kirkland and Wolseley would hit it off as roommates, they could help each other out.
Kirkland was big as a side the house even though he was only two months along. It was his first time to carry, and he was terrified. He knew that he would grow as the pregnancy progressed but he was bigger than most carriers were at eight months and yet he was only two.
His father had brought him out to the ranch, his dad was heavy with another sibling at the current time and that wasn't a good thing for him to travel. Nor was he very pleased with Kirkland's predicament.
The babies were starting to get fussy because it was nearing feeding time once again. Those two boys could eat, and Wolseley was having a little problem keeping up with them, as he wasn't the biggest producer of nectar. Since Kirkland's nectar came in, he had produced more than enough before he conceived and afterwards, he was having to pump up to four times a day just to get relief.
I can help feed the boys if that's what you need sir? I have more than enough to spare.
Wolseley was a little apprehensive, but he could use the help.
Wolseley listen to me; you need help, the twins are more than you can handle. Young Kirkland has got plenty of nectar to spare in his current condition. If the two of you can get along it would be a win-win situation for the both of you. I believe that you have more in common than you both realize.
I believe that the two boys need to be here together so that they can get comfortable with each other feeding the little ones. So, Aransas; I believe in you and Allison need to follow me. Besides Wolseley could use a break from the steady line of questioning.
Kirkland went and picked up the boys and handed one to Wolseley. I hope that you don't mind, but it looks like you're a little overwhelmed in the nectar department, trying to feed two hungry little ones. This will save a lot of pumping for me besides I don't like pumps they're too impersonal.
So how much longer to you have your child, asked Wolseley?
Seven months and I will deliver.
Excuse me, you mean you're seven months alone, don't you?
No, I'm only two months, in fact the next morning after we had sex, I was already having a little problem in the abdominal region. I couldn't even fit into my pants that I wore when we met that night before. Theo just laughed and said; for me to get used to the way I would carry the baby.
So, is Theo around, you know the baby's daddy?
No that's the problem, he's not anywhere around. He left a very detailed note, and I still don't understand what he was talking about. He said his time was up and he had to return but not worry because he would find me when it was time.
Another pump, dump and knock and all the time that you need him, he's gone? Sounds like Selmar, the father to my twins and the new one that I'm carrying.
Excuse me, you say that you're already pregnant again, these babies can't be that old?
They're not but let's just say he showed up and left me in the family way again. He said he wouldn't be very long this time; he would come back to stay with me and the boys if everything went correctly.
So, what do your parents think about your situation?
I know my father is trying to do the best that he can because he's human, but my dad is not happy. Tell me I was no better than a common Gen slut out of one of those movies. He didn't want to see me until after the baby was born. And only if I promise to get rid of it.
Excuse me, the only way that he will see you again is if you get rid of your youngling?
Yeah; but I don't blame him he's under a lot of stress and is just hormones talking. Father said that dad's newest pregnancy isn't going easy and he's just lashing out.
Well at least it sounds like your father is being reasonable. But as far as anything goes here, there are not any parents on my side, the boys will never know anyone but me and their father when he comes back.
I guess when he shows up, I need to be moved again to another location to help someone?
Kirkland, one thing you must understand, this is my damn house. Selmar may be the father of the boys but when it comes to this house, I make the rules. You do not have to move anywhere and if he doesn't like it, he can stay out in the back storage shed.
Kirkland smiled at the ferocity of his new friend. Little Scott was going to town on Kirkland's very full nectar gland.
Aransas suggested that the two couples go into the Township and partake in a burger and malted but Allison and Joe declined and wished the two of them to have a good time.
Aransas and Artemis jumped on the next transit and headed up to Constantine's for a burger and malted. When they arrived, the place was very busy after all it was the weekend.
There was a young female human sitting at a table by herself, Artemis walked up and asked was it okay that the two of them took a seat with her since the place was quite full if she didn't mind?
I don't mind sir; I was just thinking about getting something to eat but my funds are little low, and I need to conserve my money.
I would like to introduce myself and to you my name is Prof. Artemis Harris, and this nice-looking young man here is my future mate Aransas.
My name is Sharon Wilson and I'm just traveling through currently. I didn't budget my funds as well as I thought I did, but that's okay I'll just drink a couple of glasses of water and eat some breadsticks if I don't get thrown out.
Aransas looked at the young girl she was maybe 18 to 19 years of age, and she looked like a little thing. I'll be right back, let me go make an arrangement or two. Artemis, would you like to keep our table mate company while I do a few things.
Aransas slipped up to the front counter and spoke with Constantin about the young girl. He took his liberties and ordered a cheeseburger, double order of fries and an extra-large malted for her and for them their usual.
Sharon was a little taken back when Constantine brought the drinks over and sat down the extra-large chocolate malted in front of her.
Excuse me, I didn't order this; I can't afford it.
Honey don't worry about it, it's on the house today is a celebration. And I expect that you eat every bit of the meal when it comes out for you also. Besides you look like you need to put on a few pounds, you're awful thin.
Sharon thanked Constantine and started to drink the malted right away.
I'm sorry I didn't mean to drink it so fast; I need to save some for the meal; Sharon apologized.
Don't worry about that baby, if you drink that when I'll get you another one. Constantine's is not a place where anyone goes hungry no matter what their station or their story is.
When the burger arrived, Sharon ate like she had not eaten in several days. She looked up and realized that she was not using her best table manners and apologized.
Sharon and Aransas spoke words here and there, even though Aransas was unable to get much from the young lady.
Sharon asked to be excused for a minute and went towards the restrooms.
After about 15 minutes Artemis was getting a little concerned.
She did not want to be embarrassed because she does not have any money. Even though she still had her pride; Artemis.
I know Aransas but I think maybe someone should go check on her?
Okay I'll go check on her just give me a second to get up.
As Aransas went to stand up, he bumped something underneath the table and a small cry was admitted. What the hell was that Artemis?
Artemis raised the tablecloth up and underneath the table there was a carrier for a child. Artemis looked at Aransas, oh crap go check and see if Sharon is still in the restroom.
Aransas raced to the bathroom as Artemis removed the carrier from underneath the table and gently set it up on top. His hands were shaking as he gently raised the cover up.
There was a very tiny child inside of the carrier. He couldn't have been more than a few days old, there was a note folded up and placed in his carrier beside him. Artemis removed the note and as Constantine stood beside him, he began to read it.
Please do not think bad of my mother, she loves me, but I am different from other children and cannot stay in her world. My father is no more, and she cannot keep me. My name is Daniel Ray and I hope that you can give me a good home.
Aransas was equally at a loss as he stood beside Artemis and Constantine reading the note.
The busboy returned to the restaurant and told Constantine that he could not locate the young lady anywhere outside.
Aransas reached into the carrier and took the small child out and held him.
Well, the two of you may not want to start out like this but it looks like someone else has plans for you; remarked Constantine.
Aransas stood there with wide eyes as he realized what Constantine was saying. I can't do that we haven't discussed anything like this. This is not what he needs, he doesn't need me. He needs his mother; this is a human child.
Artemis was reading the letter and flipped it over to the second page. He remarked; very special little boy. Aransas; Daniel Ray isn't what he seems like, his mother is in fact human, but his father was pureblood, and he was born a human hybrid. This is rare within itself; I don't know what happened, but we have been chosen to raise this young man. We need to carry him to the clinic and have a checkup done and let Mr. Zach and Mr. Ben know what has transpired.
Besides you look so cute holding our little boy. And just think you don't even have a stretch mark to show, you're good. Constantine we you please keep an eye out for his mother, if she shows backup point her to the direction of the ranch. I know it's not what we planned but things have changed.
Not a problem at all Artemis, but I really believe that I should call Mr., Zach and ask for a pickup of this young lad.
Lisa from Ms. Sonia's place came stumbling through the front door out of breath. Mr. Constantine, I need Shelton Chetman to come back to the shop with me. We have an emergency there and he must be there on Ms. Sonia's orders.
Exactly what kind of emergency is it; Sheldon is working?
The most urgent kind, I can't say anything else.
Can this wait a few hours and he'll show up during his break?
Mr. Constantine, these things don't wait for nobody. He needs to get down to the shop now Sir.
Constantine hollered out for Shelton to come to the front.
Yes, Mr. Constantine is everything okay responded Shelton as he arrived.
Lisa did not let Constantine respond when she blurted out; it's Cooper and you need to get down to the shop, it's early.
Sheldon didn't even have to think about anything, he rushed out of the banner so fast he almost knocked two patrons down as he departed the business. He was in a dead run all the way to Sonia's.
Before Lisa could leave Constantine walked in front and blocked her exit. Who is Cooper and what did you mean by its early?
Mr. Constantine, I can't say a whole lot, but sometimes they don't take nine months. May I please return to the shop?
Girl; get your ass out here and get back down that shop and help Miss Sonia.
Brad came walking in and looked at Constantine, where the hell did my little brother go running like a wild idiot?
Obviously, somebody named Cooper is early, and I don't know anything other than that I wish someone would tell me.
Brad thought for a second, surely not. When in the hell did, they get together, other than work they don't ever see each other. Shelton knew his father's rules, all Genmen were off limits to them. Warren Chetman barely tolerated his sons working for Jake. If they weren't so damn poor the boys never would've left the farm to come into Township to get jobs.
Shelton had been acting a little peculiar now that he thought about it, he was always out of funds even with two jobs. Cooper was nice but surely the two of them hadn't gotten together.
Constantine looked at Brad, are you going to stand here all day long and wonder about what's going on down at miss Sonia's that your brother has got himself involved in or are you going to go down there and find out and let me know something?
Yes or Mr. Constantine I'll go check up on Shelton to see what's going on.
Shelton had only been there a couple of minutes when Cooper, who was lying on his side in the dressing room area on the floor, pushed and out came a beautiful baby girl. The delivery had been very straight forth no pain to speak of in just a couple of pushes and the baby was born. Sonja wrapped the baby up in a blanket. Her skin was white as porcelain, sky-blue eyes and the brightest red hair anyone had ever seen.
Shelton was right beside Cooper as Sonja handed the baby to them.
Cooper was a little shellshocked with the baby came early and that it was female. He felt though as he had let Sheldon down by not delivering a male child.
I'm sorry I didn't mean to have a girl.
Sheldon held Cooper tight, as he gazed into his daughter's face. I couldn't be any prouder of the child that we made together. Do you have my name chosen?
There were plenty of boys' names, but I wasn't expecting a girl and the doctors never said anything about a girl child. What do you want to name her?
Let's name her after my mom, I never got to meet her, but I've seen photos and she was beautiful. Flaming red hair, white porcelain skin and sky-blue eyes. I want to name her Mavis Elizabeth Chetman if you don't mind?
No, I don't mind at all, do you think your father will approve?
Cooper; I really don't care what my father thinks or approves of this is our daughter that we created, and we will raise together.
Brad was fortunate enough to hear his little brother's statement and could not have been prouder of anyone than he was of Shelton by naming his daughter after their late mother.
The front door opened to miss Sonia's and Ben walked in. He had been alerted by one of the other girls that a Genman was in labor and delivering at the shop.
It didn't take Madison long to get from the ranch to Sonja's place.
Ben walked into the dressing area and saw what had taken place and who all was involved. Well young man what are you gonna name him?
Mr. Ben, I have named her after my late mom. Mavis Elizabeth Chetman and I would like you and Mr. Zach to be her godparents?
I'm not supposed to know a lot of things that happened all those years ago when I was born but thanks to Brad, I'm glad that I do know.
Weren't nothing at all, just someone in need, like I promised your mom I would be. And I know that she would be very proud to know that she has a beautiful granddaughter named after her.
Thank you very much Mr. Ben, but I'm afraid my father will be the one that we will have trouble with. I'm not scared to stand up to him, I just don't want to disrespect him, should he get out of line.
You let me take care of Warren, I'll straighten his ass out I'm about tired of his Holier than now attitude when it comes to you boys.
Thank you very much Mr. Ben, I think after Cooper gets a little rest, we need to get him back to the ranch. Is it okay if I stay with my family for a few days at the ranch, just until we can figure out what we're going to do?
Not a problem whatsoever. Brad honey would you get a hold of your father and have him come here to Sonja's. It's about time he ate some crow.
Not a problem Sir, I probably need to step outside so that he doesn't hear the baby in the background and comes up here in a very bad mood.
Go on out son, just do what you must do to get him here and let me take it.
Brad returned; Father is on his way, all he knows is that something has occurred, and Sheldon is involved. His attendance is required here at Miss Sonja's Place.
Perfect; now I need to go to Constantine's Place, something needs my attention there also. Seems like I'm a very important person today, now that Zack is at the construction site for the new arrivals. But it's all okay, I'll return in a few minutes.
Ben made his way down to Constantine's place to see exactly what was going on there. He walked to the door and saw that Aransas was feeding a youngling and Artemis was close by overseeing everything. Ben walked up and took a seat beside the new parents.
Okay out with the word, what's going on here?
Artemis handed the letter to Ben that was left by the mother of the child. Ben slowly read the letter and folded it and put it in the envelope that it was originally in. Congratulations you two have been blessed. I will talk to both of you later, but it looks like this young man might need to go to the medical department for a checkup and on to your home. I'll call and have a bassinet delivered to your cottage word you are staying. Congratulations and have fun being Daniel's parents.
Aransas looked at Mr. Ben with a questionable look on his face. You expect me to raise this child?
No, I do not expect you to raise this child Aransas; his mother expects the two of you to raise him and bring him up right in a loving and well-structured home together. There is no right way and there is no wrong way. Just keep him fed, keep him clean and keep him dry and believe me it'll be just fine. If you need help, there will be plenty of people around you to help you and that means the both of you. And when you have a little brother for him it will be even better. Now I need to get back to Sonja's place, I'm expecting a few fireworks but no major explosions, but I intend to light the fuse.
Artemis and Aransas were both puzzled by Ben's nonchalant attitude, whatever was going on at Sonja's must be very important.
"Well, that was a very subdued Ben," remarked Constantine. Whatever is taking place down there, it involves Sheldon so it must be a whopper. Don't worry about Mr. Ben, he will come back when he gets his job done or completed.
Madison walked in and went directly to the table where the new parents were sitting. I have been instructed by Mr. Ben to drive the 3 of you back to the ranch and see that you are settled in, then requisition a bassinet for you. After that I must Haul butt back here and wait for the fireworks.
What kind of fireworks would that be Madison; inquired Constantine?
I'm sorry Mr. Constantine but I'm not allowed to speak about certain things now, but you will know soon enough.
Sheldon and Cooper were thoroughly engaged with the baby and didn't notice that Mr. Ben had slipped back into the room. Sheldon, you need to think about what might take place when your father finds out about the little one and Cooper.
I know that you have known each other for several years thanks to Cooper running away and turning up at your family's place. Warren wasn't the most embracing of Genmen that turned up at his place but for some reason he took a little bit of liking to Cooper. He let Cooper stay for a few months until he started seeing changes with you boys, especially around Cooper. Now it wasn't anyone's fault that Cooper was maturing the way he was because of all the loving attention that he was receiving, especially from your father.
Mr. Ben, you need to understand Cooper, nor did I expect anything like this. We used precautions but sometimes things don't always in that the way we think they should.
No Sheldon they don't, in fact they take the route of nature. I'm just surprised it wasn't Brad that ended up with Cooper instead of you.
Brad liked Cooper but not that way, more like a younger brother. I think he has eyes for Miss Lisa, but she is a few years older than him.
More like about six months younger than him Sheldon, but Lisa does not reciprocate feelings towards others like it is common. She has a past that was very dark before she came to be here at Sonja's place. And that's all I will ever say, the young lady has made a life for herself away from the nightmares that she grew up with. But who knows, I might have a chance to talk to her.
Now let's talk about your father, I will take the youngling into the main area. You and Cooper will remain back here within earshot, that way you can hear everything that is said. I have my plans so just bear with it; young Mavis will not be in harm's way at all. No matter what you think about your father he's not an ogre and would never do anything to hurt any child.
Whatever you think is best Mr. Ben, we will wait patiently until you call for us.
That will be just fine, now let me see the young lady so that I can get comfortable in a chair with her and wait for your father to arrive.
Ben went up to the front lobby was sitting in one of the premier chairs that was arranged in Sonja's place for viewing there was a small table between the two chairs so that when someone was modeling a new outfit they could come out and talk and show their partners or even their parents the new outfit. It wasn't too soon Warren Chetman walked into the salon.
Sonja looked at the man who was a little dirty from coming straight off the fields and frowned.
Warren knew Sonja well and apologized for his appearance, but he was under the understanding that there had been an incident with his youngest and he needed to get there as soon as possible.
Sonja smiled and had the girls put a cover over the expensive chair before she showed Warren to his place.
Ben sat there holding the child gently rocking her. Have a seat my old friend. I see that you're still not afraid of an honest day's work.
That little one is awfully young.
Yes, Warren she is, but this is a special case. Now let's get down to business here.
Where's my boy, and what's up with him?
Sheldon is just fine, and he will be here in a little bit, we need to talk it's been such a long time since we've even spoken to one another.
We've known each other for such a long time, some good times and sometimes were not so good. You've done wonderful with the boys Mavis would be very proud of you.
I'm just a father this tried to raise his sons right, and if I haven't thanked you before, let me do it now. I know I come off all gruff and tough but if it hadn't been for you and Zach, I never would've been able to raise my boys.
It's nothing that we haven't done many a time, and I did promise a friend to watch over her family because she knew that you would need some help no matter how proud you were. What's a little extra food from the storehouse and some clothing for the boys when they started growing so fast. It's just what we do, we help take care of our own and Warren if you didn't know by now, your part of our family.
The front door bell went off and out came a voice; Miss Sonja have you received a shipment of stretches in yet. These pants are cutting me in half, we were hoping to hide it for a while but I guess we will have to tell folks sooner than expected.
Louie rounded the corner and came to a screeching halt when he saw Mr. Ben sitting in the chair. OH crap.
Ben didn't miss a beat, hide what Louie? And from whom?
I wish you hadn't had been here Mr. Ben, but I guess my big mouth give it away again.
I didn't know it was your time?
Genman can get pregnant at any time with the right mate.
So, I take it Louie that the father is a human?
Louie had never met Brad's father who was sitting in the other chair. So, he had no idea of what can of worms he had just opened. Well, it's an involved story Mr. Ben and I'm afraid it might take a little while to explain everything. I'm just don't break so I need to get back to the construction office, we can always pick this up later? And he chuckled a nervous chuckle.
Oh no young man, you will sit down right now and spill the beans. My guest here I imagine would love to hear how things happen between horny humans and oversexed little Genman.
Don't mind me Mr. Ben I'm just here waiting to hear about my son when we get back on that subject.
Not a problem old friend, I imagine this is going to be hilarious. Now Louie; spill the beans who what when and where?
You know how we talked about I had a little crush on one of the workers at the company, he kind of felt the same way but something was holding him back so I decided to make him jealous by showing attention to another one.
I remember and did it blow up in your face this jealousy factor?
More like it blew me up. I didn't intend for anything to physically happen but when we got to that point, I demanded that he used protection. He did in the beginning but then in the throes of passion he removed it. Needless to say, when he reached the point of no return I was impregnated.
So, what is this young man going to do for you since he has a child with you?
Absolutely nothing Sir, he finished up got out of bed dressed himself as I was in the throes of conception and he started to laughing about me being so dumb stupid and gullible all he was after was my innocence and a kid bearing his genetics would be a bonus but he would not be around to raise the little basterd.
Name I want his name; Louie, I will hunt him down and rip his seedpods from his body.
Mr. Ben, he left I found out that he left that very night cleared out all of his possessions jumped on the first transit and is gone. Which is for the best.
How do you mean it's for the best, he deceived you he impregnated you and then he ran out on his responsibility young man, Responded Warren.
Sir; I was very despondent after I left the motel and wandered over to Constantine's for a malted so I could get my head together. As they set there crying over my malted the person that I had a crush on walked in and saw me. I wanted to crawl underneath of the table and hide, but he demanded answers so through 15 napkins I blubbered and cried and spilled everything. I told him that I had ruined any hope of us getting together by my stupidity of trying to make him jealous.
What did the young man do, did he try to save your honor or anything?
Sir what he did was the most selfless act anyone could ever do. He took me by the hand and we ended back up at the motel where he made passionate love to me and let his seed override the others and claimed the child as his own. But that's where the real problem starts, Brad says that his father has a horrible attitude to inner species couples much less their children. Even though the child that I'm carrying will be his grandchild he fears that his father will never accept it nor me into his family and he will have to choose between them. I've told him that I expect nothing other than that the child that I carry will know his father and how great of a man he really is.
Young man; do you mind telling me the father's full name so that I may thank him?
No Sir I do not mind telling you his proper name is Bradley Darnell Chetman, but he goes by Brad. I only wish that his mother was around to see her grandchild be born. But she passed away shortly after his youngest brother was born. I've tried to tell Brad not to be hard on his father, because raising five little ones by yourself is very hard even for a Genman but for a human male without a mate anymore it is even worse.
Tears began to roll down Warren's hardened face as the man softened.
Louie was a little thrown off by this and had a questionable look on his face when he looked at Mr. Ben who was holding a child.
Louie I would like to introduce to you Warren Chetman, Brad's father Warren Chetman.
Louie turned white as a ghost and began to stumble upon his words as he attempted to speak.
Warren; I guess that you have a lot to talk to your son about? But this is not why you were called here this is just a bonus icebreaker. Louie; have a seat it's about to get a little intense in here. Warren now that we've broken the ice so to speak of, I need to talk to you about a development that has been hidden from all of us.
Ben; I guess there's nothing you can tell me that won't surprise me, what's going on with Sheldon?
Ben stood up and walked across the room carrying the baby and walked up to Warren's chair. My arms getting a little tired you mind holding her for a minute, I know that you remember how to hold the baby.
It's been a while but give the child to me hold him.
Ben handed little Mavis to her grandfather and as Warren was getting comfortable with the child he reached up and uncovered the child's face and head so that that red hair was on display for everyone to see.
Warren it's her, you are holding a little girl child and might I say a very special little girl child.
Warren studied the child's face looked at her hair and her porcelain skin, ruby red lips but when she opened her eyes, he knew that he was looking to a face that he had not seen for some time.
Yes; Warren your suspicions are correct, meet your granddaughter Mavis Elizabeth Chetman named for her grandmother. This is something that we knew nothing about neither the father nor the dad ever divulged any information until after her birth.
Who, how did this happen?
The birds and the bees and watch out for the bushes in the trees, Warren snap out of it. I have two people that are very apprehensive about the whole situation but they already have voice their opinion, reject this child and you will lose the father the dad and the child.
Is this the reason I needed to come and see Sheldon?
It's not a this she is your first grandchild Warren and an opportunity to regain a life.
Ben who is the birthing parent and how did my son and he meet?
A long time ago Warren, and you are the reason that they met. Everything happens for a reason and works out in due time you were not aware of the ramifications of your actions.
I don't know any of these young Genman, and what you mean I'm the reason they met?
Think back Warren; remember a young runaway that you begrudgingly allowed to stay in your home around your boys until he started to change as he matured. They fought nature but when that happens nature always wins.
You mean Cooper, young Cooper he and Sheldon made this sweet angel?
Yes, after Cooper matured and went through transition they met once again. They worked at the construction and Their relationship quiet. Cooper would not divulge the father's name to anyone. Why do you think Sheldon took the second job at Constantine's after working all day long on the construction site? He took responsibility for the actions and consequences of falling in love and having an accident, but all things happen for a reason.
The door opened and the Bell went off once again followed by a voice; Louie, please hurry up we have to get back to work plus I'm not thrilled to see my father in town with what's going on it's not going to be good. Brad come around the corner and saw his father sitting there holding a child and he froze in his tracks.
Warren looked at his son; Bradley Darnell, take a seat beside Louie. We will have quite a discussion about things and the future. But first have you met your niece?
Yes father; but Louie and I really do need to get back to the office and the construction site.
I'll call over replied Ben, they would allow you little bit more time. Sheldon; you and Cooper come up front please.
Sheldon helped a still unsteady Cooper walk up to the front seating area. He was a little surprised to see his father holding young Mavis and smiling.
What am I gonna do with you two boys, children do not raise themselves they are a lot of work and they need a lot of family around them. And I know if I screw this up your mother will never forgive me.
Cooper, Louie welcome to the Chetman family we are not rich but we do get by. There's three more young men at the house that will be more than surprised to see the two of you set foot on the farm. Wallace may try to be a little standoffish but after I get through with his backside, he will respect everyone.
Ben, do we need to do anything as far as Cooper is concerned, does he need to go see a doctor or does the child need a checkup before they go home?
The Dr. used the back door and give us both a checkup already Sir. He said I can resume normal duties tomorrow there was no trauma and little Mavis is feeding very well. I can always pump a couple of bottles and leave them at the house while I'm at work. She won't be any problem at all.
I'm sure that Constantine will let me off a couple of days to help out father.
I'm sure that everybody in the house will be more than happy to help with little Mavis. If they have any attitudes, I will have an assatude adjustment course behind the shed.
Father; you know that I've been working on the old homestead, give me a few days and it will be complete that way Cooper the baby and I will not be a hindrance on you and the boys.
Sheldon this precious little angel could never be a burden on anyone. You and Cooper will take the bedroom and Dale can take the sofa with Wallace since Brad and Louie will be in that room, Curtis can take a pallet on the floor. I don't think anyone will have a problem after I lay down the house rules to everyone. If they do the loft in the Barn is available to anyone can't abide by my rules.
Sheldon and Brad were shocked at their father's demeanor to the whole situation.
Cooper spoke up; If there's not enough room Sheldon and I can stay at the Ranch along with the baby so we don't upset anyone.
Nope not gonna happen son, this little lady that I'm holding in my arms will stay in her grandmother's home her first night of her new life. I have spoken on the matter and that's final. When you have rested, we all will travel home, and I mean everyone.
With Warren's commanding voice no one dared to counter his decree.
Warren and Ben started discussing business like nothing had changed. Warren holding little Mavis, like the little princess she was. Without missing a beat, he looked towards Sonja and in a gentle voice asked; please put together a bundle of supplies for my granddaughter. Clothes, diapers, car seat and a stroller. We have the family crib at home but she will need some new coverings along with a new mattress and a cute mobile to hang above her with a fancy music box please.
Sonja smiled at Warren, my staff and I will get right to it Mr. Chetman.
Sonja, please call me Warren; I feel that you will be seeing a lot of Us, as this little Angel starts to grow up.
Yes Warren; you just call or come by anytime you need anything for little Mavis and it will be done. Sonja looked at her staff as they went to different areas of the store to round-up the items that were going to be needed.
The door opened to Sonja's Place and Madison called out inquiring if everything was, ok?
Ben responded; yes, Madison we are doing great. But if you could have the Diner deliver a care package of food to the store. I imagine that Cooper might be hungry after birthing.
Yes Mr. Ben I'll get right on it sir; responded Madison. He departed the store.
Such a nice young man remarked Warren.
You don't know the half of it, he's been through a lot he and his partner have two children together and Zach and I would not know what to do without him. Technically he is not a Genman.
If he's not a Genman, what is he a hybrid?
Actually, he is a cross between the original Goran race and the human race his granddad was a pure Goran who took a human as his lover and he birthed quite a few children. Now they spent over 100 years in hibernation until they arrived here on Solaris 10 and were revived. The entire family is doing very well. I don't know if you realize Genmen were created in a process where it was genetic gene splicing by the Goran race so that they could have a workforce.
I had no idea, there's so much that our governments have held back.
Very much that's why the Z1 exist, we hope to educate the entire planet of the situation of the Genman when they crashed and what they were used for and how good they really are.
Ben, you don't have to convince me, when I lost Mavis had it not been for the generosity of Zach and yourself and all of the other Genmen that helped my family out I don't know where we would be at today. I just wish that I had not been such a pigheaded fool.
What you hold in your arms Warren, that is the future of your family. The next step in evolution of the human race and the Genman race together united.
Coming soon the Z1 ranch part 130.
