The Z-1 Ranch

The Z-1 Ranch P-152 CGF2662 ©

Adam and Denis arrived at home, Adam asked his son to please go to the living room and have a seat on the sofa so that the two of them could speak.

Denis was dreading this no matter what he still didn't want talk to his dad, it just wasn't a comfortable subject for him.

Son, please hold your comments until I get finished and I would like for you to hear me out on the subject not ignore me because in this matter I do believe I can help you.

Okay dad but I don't know anything really.

The young man that you had the interaction with at the diner I met him and I can tell you that he has no impure thoughts at all, I could feel that when I hugged him plus there's other things that you really need to know.

You hugged him? You didn't take his head off in the process?

From the moment I saw the young man I sensed something different, and usually my feelings are fairly accurate. He is not what you think he is.

A walking talking breathing human, what is he from Soloras 4?

And how he is not from Soloras 4, but he is part human.

Excuse you, what do you mean part human he comes from the city he works at of speeder dealership and knows humans especially Mr. Dan.

He is a lost one, he was brought as a newborn infant to an orphanage ran by nuns and given to them. They were told that he was special and to raise him correctly. He doesn't know what he is.

But you do just from hugging him?

Like I said I felt it within him would you like to know what I know about the young man?

Well duh, what exactly is he?

He is a first-generation human hybrid that developed at a standard human rate. He's been on this planet for 24 years. Because he doesn't know what he is he never developed any of his Genman senses. What you have is a virgin human hybrid, but yet when he got near you and smelled you because if I'm not mistaken both your times are close.

Yes Sir, my time is within about two weeks. So, what does this have to do with him?

You do realize what a human hybrid is, he has genetics of both parents but yet he takes the physical characteristics from the father's side who by the way this incident was human. I spoke to Mr. Ben and after all of the business is concluded they will be bringing him on to the property here at the Z1 and going to the medical department for cultures.

Once he learns what he is he will not be in the best mental shape because he is going to be lost. That's where you come in Denis.

Excuse me why me?

He spoke about when he looked at you all he could see was a glow about you, that's the same thing that your father told me when he met me. And I feel that the two of you need to sit down and speak.

Wait a minute first time in my lifetime that you want me to talk to someone. You've always told me to steer clear of others to keep myself apart from others and not to go around them now suddenly this guy shows up and you want me to put myself on display?

Tony will need a kind and caring voice, you and him are connected whether you know it or not.

I'm not having sex with him if that's what you're thinking no way I have my education to finish first and foremost.

And I would never ask you to do that, you have your principles and you let them be known. The two of you can become friends but as far as that there are no benefits and less you want them to be.

I'm so damn confused dad, first you tell me if I get involved with anyone you will make them disappear now, you're telling me that you want me to become a friendly person with him but yet grandfather wants to rip his head off. I give up, I really do I give up.

I am just telling you to give him an opportunity to get to know you and himself. From what I have understood he is a very courteous and kind person who has worked himself up from nothing, he is a self-made person and he's one that you need to get to know. You have been spoiled your entire life by myself even though I made you grounded and levelheaded, Tony on the other hand has never had anything and everything he has he worked hard to earn.

Can I go to my room please dad, let me know when the nightmare is over.

Go to your room and I'll call you later, think about the subject for little while and if you see the young man in the future give him a break.

Denis walked to his room muttering the entire time, who was this person in the house because if this was his dad he did not know him at all.

Adam picked up his communicator and dialed Mr. Ben's number.

Yes, Adam how's it going?

It's going okay I had a talk with Denis after we got home, I think that when Tony arrives here at the Z1 for his testing he needs to see a kind and gentle face. He is going be full of all kinds of questions and he needs someone that he can link with to help him through the revelations that he's going to discover about himself.

And who are you suggesting should link with him might I ask?

Denis as a matter of fact, let's face it the two have a connection already and with Denis being a levelheaded young Genman hybrid the two of them should get along well.

What if they get along too well, Adam can you handle that?

My son is not a little boy he is a young man just like Tony. They are both levelheaded and should be given a chance to prove themselves to each other.

Okay Adam if that's what you feel, I'll call you when we all arrive at the Z1 clinic area.

Zach looked at Ben and questioned him. What exactly is going on at the ranch or do I need to know?

Ben smiled, Adam has lost it and maybe that's a good thing. He wants to be notified when we bring Tony to the clinic so that he and Denis can meet us there. He believes that Denis can be a calming force for Tony.

That doesn't sound like Adam at all, but who am I to judge nature. Elvin on the other hand is about ready to pull his hair out when it comes to his grandson. I do believe you need to speak to Elvin just to calm things down.

I guess I could take Tony and go over there to extend an olive branch. Let's just hope I don't have to use the damn tree on Elvin.

Playing nice Benjamin Spinelli, I've got a few things to go over with Dan plus a couple phone calls to make.

Have fun I know I will, the houses should start arriving within 30 minutes so I'll be back.

Ben kissed Zach and motioned for Tony to come with him as they walked to the farm house next door.

Young Steve was just coming around the house when he looked up and saw Mr. Ben waved, good morning Mr. Ben how's it going today?

Right now, it's going okay where is your father at?

Grumpy pants, is in the house, he's been great but today something got his dandruff up.

Tony held up his hand and waved, that would be me I guess I got too close to someone and he took offense to it. I didn't know I was doing anything wrong but I guess I did.

You're not from around here are you, Remarked Steve.

No, I'm from the city I just brought a new speeder out to the Rosenburg's, it was a gift from Dan to Ari. I was at the diner when I run into someone.

Oh no let me guess, you met the golden grandchild and there was a little fluctuation between the two of you and my father took it a little personal?

You could say that he took it just a little personal and then some, the dad came in and things didn't go well from what I can understand.

You think that didn't go well there when he got back, he was in a very pissy mood and stepped crossways with not one but three expectant Genmen here on this place and all hell broke loose in the house that's the reason I'm outside working.

Ben looked at him and asked, what do you mean three Genman?

Well first off, he come in and knocked something over and Lyle chewed him out, then he tried to go out on the back porch and critiquing Andy wasn't the correct thing when he was just trying to do something nice. Never knew Andy had such a temperament, have you ever seen flying roses? If you haven't then go take a look at the back porch. Now and he is pissed because all of his precious little miniature roses are everywhere. Then when he was going back in the house he ran into Clarence and almost knocked him down and that's when their argument started. Elvin Willis really stepped into at this time because he caught it all three ways.

Tony looked at Mr. Ben, are you sure we should be even be here, maybe I should come back later.

Not a chance, I'll go in with you all that way it's three on one again. Besides sooner or later somebody is going to tap Denis and from what I can see, you look like you got good breeding.

What is it with everybody having kids and talking about hooking up, is that what it's like to be a Genman?

Steve chuckled, what would I know I'm only human 100%. But my brothers, they can tell you there's nothing like a good Genmen vent. But may I'm strictly human females, or maybe a hybrid female but definitely female.

Ben looked at him and grumbled, take us to the house young man.

Steve was the first one and opened the door and hollered out we've got company be on your best behavior.

Elvin stuck his head around the corner and looked at who was coming in at first all he saw was Ben and he smiled but it soon turned to a frown when he noticed that Tony was following Ben's heels. What's he doing here in my house?

Elvin Willis is that any way to treat a guest, Tony is the guest of Dan and Ari your next-door neighbors along with Zach and myself so play nice. You know what they say about hormones and grumpy Genmen.

Why do I ever, never knew hormones to be such a deadly match especially when you have three in the household better expecting.

Andy came in from the back and was still pissed-off about his roses when he saw Mr. Ben and walked up and gave him a hug. Finally, some civility, father is just over the top today for some damn reason.

Tony cleared his throat, that reason would be me guess I stepped over the line unintentionally.

Well finally the young man with manners and etiquette, welcome to the Willis crazy house my name is Andy and let me shake your hand. No sooner than Andy and Tony's hands touched Andy's eyes popped wide open, he couldn't believe what he could sense. Young man was near heat cycle it wasn't just any heat cycle it was a breeder cycle.

Excuse me Mr. Ben can we please speak, where is this person from?

His name is Tony he's from the city, he's delivering a new speeder to Ari and on Monday he will be back in the city.

Let's hope so, because of he goes into cycle were all in trouble. You don't know what you're dealing with.

Adam let's speak, come out with it what are you saying?

He's a human hybrid, and he is approximately 24 cycles old. This is very crucial in their development that they find a mate before they get 26 cycles.

Tony had a bewildered look on his face. What you mean 26 cycles and how do you know that I'm 24 years of age?

Our hands touched, I'm carrying right now and all my senses are enhanced. Is this the one that father is pissed-off about being near Denis?

Guilty, I don't know what's going on and I wish someone would tell me because I'm lost.

I know what I've read and seen it other places. What about your parents are they trying to prepare you for what you're about to go through?

What is this thing about everybody wants know about my parents remarked Tony. I don't know a damn thing about my parents, I was brought up in an orphanage and what is a hybrid human by the way?

Lyle walked in from the kitchen. Young man it is the offspring between the union of a human and a Genman. The child is predominantly always male and carries the traits of both Genmen and human within their bodies. They will look human 100% but they will evolve differently than others, some will pick-up the Genman genetics and mature within three human years just like a normal Genmen others will take the human development DNA and mature as a normal human child. You get your first heat cycle at 20 years of age you get one every six months; you will become very extroverted toward others during that time. Some get ill, others just to get horny and need to release. Some do this by self-stimulation others do it by hooking up and producing offspring.

Lyle he's not doing anything he has spent up frustrations in his body I can sense them, especially after we shook hands replied Andy.

Tony was very embarrassed. Here these people were talking right out in public about self-pleasures and other things that need to stay private. The nuns drilled that in to the young boys from an early age, but in Tony's case it didn't help him at all.

Elvin laughed out loud; what kind of red-blooded human male doesn't flog the log?

The nuns said that that was a sin, the seed shall not be wasted through physical means. It was only when two consenting adults got together and they were married that anyone do that Responded Tony. But like I tried to tell people I'm not a Genman, I'm human but around here nobody seems to be listening.

Clarence come cruising through headed to the kitchen and said everyone hello to everyone when he sniffed the air and looked at Tony. Who's the hybrid he asked as he looked around?

Tony shook his head again; another one he was getting tired of this.

Don't be ashamed of who you are, I'm not ashamed who I am. I'm a Genman and I'm pregnant with my first. People don't like us they can just deal with it, that's what you say about yourself, if they don't like you for who and what you are to deal with it. Oh, shit I'm hungry I need to go to the kitchen, this baby's got me eaten three times the amount I'm never going to trim back down.

Lyle excused himself, I need to head to the kitchen or Mr. Clarence will eat everything in sight and I need him to stay on a good nutritious diet.

Elvin looked at Tony then look back at Ben, now you see why I'm under so much stress. One pregnant with a purebred, and two carrying hybrids. This is not the way I saw my life going around at this point in time. Steven and I are taking a few days away so that we can both stop and think if this is what we really want in life. I need some peace and quiet he wants to have a child or two, just not sure if it's right.

Tony had to sympathize with Elvin, you do need a break Sir. Now I realize why you are so protective over your grandson Denis. But I don't mean anyone any disrespect and as far as intentions of a carnal nature, I have kept myself clean and pure and will until I join with someone.

Elvin looked at the young man standing in front of him and was ashamed of the way he acted toward him. Tony, please accept my sincerest apologies, I jumped to conclusions and I judged you for actions that you had no control over. You're welcome here at this house as a guest at any time.

Steve looked at Andy, well shit the mountain has come to Mohammed, can you believe that?

Boy don't you have some work outside responded Elvin.

Yes, Sir I need to go back on the back porch and rescue what I can of Andy's miniature rose collection. Come on brother let's go see what we can salvage. The boys went outside.

Just to let you know the first of three-pod homes will be arriving next-door shortly Elvin, come on over and check them out if you wish to.

Thank you, Ben we just might do that in fact, maybe get a few ideas.

Tony bid Elvin goodbye and wished his family well then left.

Elvin was impressed with the young man and smiled. Clarence came out of the kitchen area with a bowl of putting stuffing his face when his father looked at him, you know maybe if you hadn't been just fucking around because you were horny, you could have a nice man like that and carrying his baby instead.

Clarence walked out onto the back porch in a bewildered state, father has lost his mind. I can't believe what he just told me if I hadn't been so damn horny and just fucking around maybe I could be caring for that young man that was here, like I would let just anybody on top of me.

Andy chuckled, well you didn't mind bending over for me and it got you in the predicament that you're in now.

And look at you and your swollen belly, you need think about things before you say them out loud brother.

Steve looked around and shook his head, Will the two of you hormone factories please give it a rest. Tony is a very nice young man that is going through a lot and just discovering who he really is. I can tell you growing up pure human is rough, we don't get to skip around and mature out weekly like the two of you did, he had the same disadvantage as every other human he had to wait to grow. You don't know how lucky you have it my brothers.

Andy and Clarence looked at each other and had to agree, the Genman life was very blessed compared to some humans and what they have to go through.

Lyle came out onto the porch; your father would like for me to inform the three of you that you are expected to go to the neighbors next door with him, and this is not a request this is a direct order by your father. It seems that three of their new pod homes are coming in early today and will be placed on the property. He seems to think that maybe some ideas can be retrieved from viewing what they have been blessed with. With that said; Lyle went inside.

Andy was the first one to scoff, I really do not feel like walking around and looking at someone else's home.

Why not retorted Clarence; you afraid Dan's going to bend you over in one of the new bedrooms and give that big hog of his to you again.

Jealous bitch; responded Andy.

Itty-bitty teeny-weeny nobody likes a short-dicked man; shot back Clarence.

It got the job done on you, didn't it? And by the way it's not that small, you're just loose vented.

Damn; will you two please give it a break or I will go in and tell father myself that you are being nasty and crude to each other.

Both young men put their hands up and called it quits. But as Clarence left out, he got the last word in, slut and out the door he went before Andy could say anything back.

Andy looked at his brother Steve and shook his head no, not going there now you see who the instigator is?

Okay Preggo; let's cleaned up and get ready to walk next door. A little bit of exercise will do you good just don't over do it.

Did anybody tell you that you're worse than a mother hen, always keeping tabs on everyone to make sure we follow the rules.

If I didn't love my brothers so much, I wouldn't be after you both, since you and Clarence came to live here my life has been so enriched. So, let's go get cleaned up.

Ari was beside himself; first the new speeder and now the first of the new pod homes was being delivered. Life was fantastic.

Dan and Sampson had the placement of every structure on a plot map so everything should go off without much of a hitch. But you never know for sure.

A fancy speeder pulled into the driveway and Dan and Ari's place, Ben smiled good Ed and Carter have arrived just in time to see the first cottage.

Dan looked at Zach and questioned, Ed and Carter who have arrived?

That would be Ed and Carter Hawthorne, I took the liberty of calling our friends and letting them know what was going on and about a few of the other things that we talked about such as the sports complex along with the new speeder dealership, he was thinking maybe we could add a few of the midsize and larger transit some also to the inventory. We can always volume discount them to bring in more business, he personally thinks it's a fantastic idea Carter is a little reserved but he will warm up.

Dan looked at himself in the way he wasn't dressed, normally for a business meeting he would be in a suit and tie along with all of his reference materials and contracts available but he had nothing.

Ari could sense Dan's uneasiness and walked up beside him and took his arm; it will be just fine from what I can understand out here they are just common folk no matter how much money they have their hip pocket.

Ed and Carter and exited the speeder and it was like old time friendships being renewed everyone was hugging and getting to know each other. Carter walked up to Dan and extended his hand. I don't believe I have had the pleasure of meeting the two of you yet my name is Carter Hawthorne and this big lug over here is my better half Ed, welcome to the area made this friendship and new perspective business partnership prosper.

Dan took Carter's hand and shook it and thanked him for the kind words. Introduce to you the love of my life Ari, I found this place online Ed a real estate brokerage and fell in love with it just like him.

And what is your place in the business world may I ask?

Mr. Hawthorne, might I introduce myself as Dan Rosenberg I am with a legal firm. We represent firms of all sizes; we deal from personal to commercial matters. I am majority shareholder in the company. Ari heads up legal in research and development for contract negotiations and obligations. He is taking a little time off for and will be living here on the farm that we have purchased.

Fabulous; May I ask of you one question what are y'all going to do with the original homestead? And by the way it's just Carter to my friends.

Well then Carter, you see that fine looking young man over there; his name is Sampson and he is head of the farm operations here. His number one job is to refurbish and restore the original homestead back to its original luster, he intends to put everything back the way it was when it was first built down to the smallest detail. We have decided to leave it exactly where it is thanks to him and his visions of grandeur and luster.

Thank you so very much, when I discovered that the place had sold and Ed had not secured it like I told him too, I was so afraid that somebody would just walk a crusher right through the middle of it destroying all of the rich history of earth style architecture.

That is one thing Sampson is a stickler for, he said it must be a showpiece of bygone era inside and outside along with all of the furnishings must be duplicated. He says he wants to make a sort of showpiece or Museum so that others can learn what it was like to live on earth in older times.

You better keep a leash on that boy, if not I just might try to steal him from you.

I don't think Titus would appreciate that, seems that the two have hooked up and are very committed to each other.

Fabulous, just fabulous I am so glad that they have found each other every Genmen deserves happiness just like every human. So, tell me about these new ideas you have for the community that will help out the ranches. I want to get an earful first before Ed gets involved, I might have some ideas of my own that we can work on.

Dan offered Carter his arm so that they could walk on the property and get a little bit better idea of what the whole situation was. They discussed everything from the complex to the gym structure and additions that would have to be made within the community to keep up with the bustling traffic and visitors that would be coming their way. Dan spoke about the new dealership that he wished to put in so that everyone could afford a speeder new or previously utilized and he had just the person that had experience in the field of six years to run it.

Carter was all ears and taking everything in, he was impressed with Dan Rosenberg and his vision for the future of the Township.

Zach, Ed and Ari were in their own deep discussions when Elvin and the boys walked up.

Ari was the first one to speak; welcome neighbor and come on in it's an open discussion we are just deciding on what we're going to be doing around the area before the houses arrive. That should be any minute we've already got three updates they had to slow down coming through town. That reminds me Mr. Zach we need to make sure that the town cannot be bypassed should the planet government decide to rebuild the roadway or widen it.

That has been in the planning stages and we are good for a total of eight lanes of traffic coming through the Township in which either a subterranean walkway or raised walkways can be installed to alleviate potential hazards from crossing it explained Zach.

That is great and that would also alleviate confusion when the sports complex is built.

You said what kind of complex Ari questioned Elvin?

Well first of all we're going to start out with a total fitness club with a state-of-the-art arena for professional events then it will also migrate into a complete outdoor sports complex for all types of sporting events. We are almost the halfway point to the seafront and the city then there's the far side of the planet in the other direction so we are at a great place to be for traffic.

So, this place is finally going to grow a bit more inquired Elvin?

Carter spoke up; we certainly hope so the new opportunities will help everyone greatly. By the way who is the new young man over there, they one in the family way?

Dan spoke up; that would be Cassius he is going to be staying with us until the Health Club is built and he will be running it. He has all of the contacts in the sports area.

Looks like his time is getting close at hand remarked Carter.

He still has about 5 months to go, the father is a very big man and looks like the child is taking after him, but that's all I can say on that subject. You know Client privilege, remarked Dan.

Must be a very big man to cause that.

He cares for the safety of the child and his dad; he wants to keep them safe.

The first half of a cottage came into view with Robbie driving the transport himself, with a full following behind him. Tim was driving the second transport with the other half that followed.

Ari and Titus were so excited that a new home was getting ready to arrive. Behind them was a transport slowing down for a stop, this puzzled everyone.

Ari was a little surprised when the office summer intern Jamison Stroud stepped off of the public transport carrying a bag. The transport pulled off leaving Jamison standing in a cloud of dust.

Andy noticed the young man and his heart jumped; he was so cute. He walked up to Jamison and said; Let me help you with your bags smiling at him.

Elvin noticed his son's reaction to the young man.

Jamison what are you doing here inquired Ari with a concerned look on his face?

I'm sorry Mr. Ari but I didn't have any place else to go. Look at me I can't go to work and I can never show my face at college again not after this.

What the hell happened inquired Ari?

There was a party after one of the big games and I didn't know but someone spiked the punch, and you know what it does the Genman even hybrids. All I can remember I was downstairs we were having a great time next thing I know I woke up in the morning and Riley is on top of me passed out with himself planted firmly in my vent. There was no doubt what we did, and with this I know what happened.

The football jock Riley North did this to you?

Yes, Sir but is not his fault he doesn't drink either so we were both pretty much out of it. He cannot afford to lose his scholarship; his family is not rich they are poor and he is nowhere near mature enough to become a father. Becoming a dad wasn't on the top of my list either, but here I am. I'm three months along and I don't know what I'm having or how many.

What do you expect for us to do out here?

I didn't know where else to go, everyone said to come out this way because there were places for my kind. My parents are furious at me father and mother are beside themselves. Father wants nothing to do with me because they have the other boys to think about, you portray yourself to be a human but yet you have a pregnant son. They would lose everything so I left knowing that you were out here working remotely on a new campaign, I hoped maybe you could put me up.

Andy spoke up loudly, he can stay in my room with me I've got plenty space in my bed. I mean bedroom.

That's nice but I don't know you, I have no idea what to do.

Andy not wanting to be left behind remarked, well first of all you need to go to the clinics at the Z1 and have a complete medical checkup to check the status of your child, I can show you where it's at and this is not a problem.

Everyone was taken by surprise but Andy's offer of help no one more so than his own father Elvin.

Andy, aren't you forgetting something inquired Elvin? He's not a stray rackknar, since when do we not know about anything of someone and take them in?

I'm sorry father, but look at him he has nothing or no one. I know how that feels and, in his condition, he needs help.

Excuse me are you pregnant yourself inquired Jamison?

Yes, I'm fresh but this is an honor carry. I don't plan on being a carrier other than this time, I can watch after you so that you're not alone.

Dan walked up behind Ari and wrapped his arms around him, I think it's a great idea the boys could keep each other company while they go through their pregnancies. Then after Jamison has the child, he can figure out his life, Andy will be with him and they can help each other out.

Andy was not taken a chance of anything mess this up, he picked up Jamison's bag and took him by the hand. Let me show you where you can stay until we get this all sorted out, the two strolled off with each other.

Elvin looked in huffed, well I guess I don't run anything around my household anymore. I've never seen Andy like this before he was so different and in a take charge mode.

Steve looked at his father, from the time and he laid eyes on that young man he was head over heels. I'm not saying that hormones don't have something to do with it, but that will last if it's given an opportunity to grow. You should be proud of him; he is taking responsibility for a life.

Son, he did not ask for permission he decided what he wanted to do.

Better to ask for forgiveness than permission in some instances because you do not want to be disappointed in what someone else might think father rebutted Steve.

Dan with his arm still wrapped around Ari responded; we will help out with the expenses for the young man. I think Andy just grew up, he's no longer a naïve little boy he is a good man taking responsibility for someone else. That's what every parent wants for their children to grow up and be responsible.

Andy led Jamison to his quarters, I'm sorry it's not anything fancy but it's clean. I live out here away from the main house so that I can have privacy but I am willing to share with you.

Why are you doing this for me you don't even know me?

Andy turned around and stopped Jamison, he set the bags down and looked deep into his eyes. I know what I see and that is a very beautiful person on the outside as well is the inside. Even if you can't see it yourself, I will remind you every day of exactly how beautiful you are.

You're not going to tie me to the bed here and try to keep me prisoner are you, you're not a freak like that?

Andy took the chance and leaned in and kissed Jamison squarely on the lips. I'm not a freak, I just know what I see in front of me and it belongs in my future standing alongside me.

The kiss took Jamison totally off guard and he lost his breath. He could not believe that this person in front of him did that and then told him what he did it was nothing that, he had ever been exposed to anyone like him before.

The child that I carry is not yours, he's three quarters human. Are you sure you want to do this we could be stuck caring for this child for the next 20 years. I've read all of the research and it's a lot of responsibility.

I'm ready for responsibility in my life, first of all we need to get you an appointment with Dr. Wooten preferably the same day I have mine. We could make it a double date, then we could go have a malted and fries.

I could use a good malted and for some reason I've been craving French fries. But let's get this clear no hanky-panky in the bedroom. I'm still not normal back there after what happened.

Nobody is normal after they have vent sex, things are never the same as when you're pure.

You don't understand there was a lot of damage done to my vent when it happened.

I'm sure there was, you were not prepared and he was more than likely uninformed about the proper technique for a first time Genmen having copulation with another. Plus, our partners size has a lot to do with it, put everything together and it can spell disaster. Dr. Wooten will examine you, take care of you and the baby that you're carrying. Now let's take your clothes out of your bag and I'll make room for them in the Bureau and the closet. We have a private bath and shower area so you don't have to worry about anybody walking in unless it's me.

There was a slight knock at the door, Andy knew exactly who it was. Yes, Lyle please come on in. Jamison looked at him strange.

Mr. Andy I was informed that you would be having a guest staying with you in your quarters, I needed to make sure that you are properly stocked with towels for the shower and a new robe for him. I made sure to get one that was a couple of sizes larger, so that he can grow into it.

Lyle I would like for you to meet Jamison he will be staying here in my quarters with me. And we thank you for the towels and the use of a robe, I will let you know if there's any special requirements for his nutritional level at supper time.

Yes Mr. Andy, I will make everything the way that he needs it for he can have proper nutrition for the little one that he carries.

Lyle another thing is just plain Andy not Mr. Andy, we are all equal here on this farm.

I will remember that and thank you Sir. Lyle left the quarters and went back to the main house.

You have a servant that helps out on this place inquired Jamison?

Lyle is part of the family but he serves the family as dictated by his genetic coding. He was gifted to my father and will be here until he passes away.

That's one thing my father and never explained to me, I didn't know there was such thing.

They are rare but they do exist and it is left over from the old Royals line. In olden days they were used as concubines for the male Royals so that they did not stray from the females. They conceive one time and then never again, they were used to serve and make service of themselves to the males, they are very loyal because they are encoded genetically to their bound partner.

That is strange, but hey it's different situation for everyone.

Whenever you are ready to speak about your situation I'm here to listen. I reacted myself to a human and every time I was near him, I would have an issue where I would vent on myself. To alleviate this, I allowed myself to be impregnated by him so that I can get through with it, it's called an honor carry, if you don't know what it means there's a full library in the main house so that you can read about it. I know I did and is just life.

Well, if were talking about everything I can go ahead and tell you. The father of this child is human, his family is not rich nor is he ready to become a father. He is a premier athlete and, on every sports team, there is in college, he's very large and imposing due to his size. After the event he was disgusted that he had soiled himself with one of us. I apologize and told him that we had nothing to be shamed about it was just something that happened between two adults under the influence. I told him that I would depart from school as soon as I could and I would leave the city when I figured something out but he did not have to worry about myself nor the child that I carried within my body.

He told me he wasn't worried about that little basterd anyhow I needed to have it ripped out of me so that he never had to worry about it ever come looking for him later on in life. He inquired what kind of diseases did I have that I can pass to him because he was sure I was full of them.

I pointed at the bed and showed him that until he had done what he did I was pure so there was no chance that he had any kind of disease. But I would leave the city and never ever think about him again and the child would know nothing of him.

Are you sure that you do not wish to inform your family that you have arrived safely, I know that your mother worries about you even though your father is as you said not cool with you being with child.

I was cut off; I don't even have a communicator anymore.

You can use mine, call your mother with privacy and tell her to use my number for communications with you, when the baby is born you can send her pictures of him and you.

That's very nice but are you sure about this?

Did I not offer it, you need to trust people out here. We are all together in this.

Another knock came at the door, Andy went to go answer the door. He opened it and there stood his father.

May I please come in to your home son?

Father this is your home I only occupy it and yes you are welcome here in this house.

Jamison, I hope that you're settling in and I do owe you an apology. I sometimes am not the most warm and fuzzy person there is in life. I protect my boys but Andy has demonstrated today that he is not a little boy anymore, he is a young man with responsibilities and he shared his life and his home with you when you have nothing. Whatever you need for you and the baby it will be taking care of, you just let the family know and we will see that it is done.

Sir I appreciate everything but I will make sure that I pull my own weight, I can try to get a job in town and help out.

That's very nice but there's plenty things here to do, you do what you have to do to make yourself feel productive.

Elvin walked back next-door to see the progress of the placement of the new cottage, it was on the ground already. These guys don't mess around when it comes to the houses, he thought to himself.

Dan walked up to Elvin and spoke; if Jamison or Andy need anything don't hesitate to let myself or Ari know so it can be arranged.

Elvin replied; he wants to get a job in the township for one thing, but most important they do not need the past coming around to interfere in their lives if you know who I mean.

He won't be a problem if Riley North has a brain in his head, giving alcohol to a genman is a jailable offence that carries a stiff sentence that would screw up his future. He will relent all of his rights; I will take care of that matter myself on Tuesday.

I will be putting the young man on our account with a new communicator, under Jamison S. Willis so he won't be found out easily, it will be an old number recycled.

That will be great, be sure to give Ari the number so we can stay in contact with young Jamison.

Why are you so concerned about Jamison Dan? If you don't mind me asking?

Not at all Elvin, he is a bright young man that has a future ahead of him in the legal profession. He has been sidetracked at this time but I intend to see that he has every possible advantage in life. Andy and he will be blessed if they can make it together, the boys need each other in their lives.

I can see a remarkable change in Andy already since they've met remarked Elvin. This means they will be needing a house to themselves.

I agree with you on that Elvin, let me contact Pete with the real-estate office to see how much that parcel of property next-door to yours is going for.

Elvin laughed, too rich for my pocketbook that's for sure.

Well, I'll still put in a call just for shits and giggles replied Dan.

Are you sure we're not rushing things a bit asked Elvin?

We can always use the extra property if they don't work out replied Dan; but have seen Andy, my bet is on the long haul.

Clarence was walking up to the crowd with a drink in one hand and a sandwich in the other when a workman on one of the delivery trucks leaned out and took his sandwich in one fell swoop.

Thank you, babes I missed lunch thanks for the delivery and I'm hungry, your sandwich looks just like what I need. Besides too much bread will make your butt spread you don't want to mess up that figure you sweet thing.

Clarence was at a total loss for words, who the hell was this guy that just took his damn sandwich, the nerve of him.

Several of the other guys on the delivery truck laughed about it.

Robbie got out of the truck and walked back to where the work crew was, Dion that was not nice can't you see that that young man is in a family way and you just took his lunch.

But boss man, how else was I going to meet him. Just because he's packing don't mean he's got an old man around, hell I may want a shot at that fine thing.

I would say give the sandwich back but you already eaten 3/4 of it. Now go apologize to him and give him your name so that you can meet him.

Dion broke out in up big shit eaten grin; he was going to get lucky tonight. Dion walked back to where Clarence was standing and he presented him with the fourth of his sandwich that was left. I'm sorry sweet cheeks it was just the opportune moment, you are standing there looking so sexy, holding that sandwich so I just took a chance. By the way my name is Dion and I work for the delivery crew of Mr. Robbie's in the construction department at the Z1. Are you free for supper tonight at the diner in town to make it up to you?

Clarence looked at the man blankly; first you still my sandwich and you consume three quarters of it, then you bring me back the end of it which has very little meat or anything else and you expect me to go out with you tonight?

Steve walked up to Clarence and put his arm around his brother, hey bro if this man is offering to take you out and buy you supper as an apology you need to jump on him like a rackknars on a bone. Who knows Clarence you might get lucky and get laid, at least you don't have to worry about getting knocked up again.

Clarence turned red in the face with embarrassment after what's Steve said.

Dion chuckled, so what's it gonna be Clarence? A cold sandwich to replace this one or a nice plate of roasted Starbird with side dishes from Constantine's with a dessert for supper? You make the decision; me I need to go put the house together, let me know when you have made up your mind. Dion walked away still holding the sandwich as he started to munch on it as he headed back to the crew.

All the guys walked up to Dion and asked him what the hell went on?

I asked him out for supper at Constantine's, he just has to decide on a replacement cold sandwich or a good hot meal, dessert with a side order of me.

Robbie grumbled and growled when he walked by Dion bragging causing the men to scatter.

Elvin walked up to Clarence and stood beside his son, well boy what is it going to be a cold sandwich or a hot meal for supper with a side order of hunk. He chuckled and laughed as he walked away leaving Clarence standing there red faced again.

Ben looked at Elvin as he walked up beside him, that was cold blooded you do realize that.

Cold-blooded or not the boy has somebody looking at him even in his condition he needs to see where that one goes. besides if he works for Mr. Robbie, he's good people. He might give him a sore vent but he can't knock him up that's for sure.

Elvin Willis you are cold blooded, I know Dion he's had a rough go of it since before he arrived at the Z1, but he's a good young man.

Dan was in deep conversation with Pete Townsend from the real estate company about the property.

It just had a big reduction Mr. Rosenburg, it's 1500 acres they originally wanted 10,000 credits which was not even reasonable. The owner bought it as an investment property because he thought he was going to make lots of profit. He has reduced it down to 5000 credits but it's still too expensive. It is totally undeveloped no water wells of any kind and no perimeter fencing only stakes.

Are you at liberty tell me who might on the property Pete?

It's one Terry Blanchard, he says he's some investment mogul.

Dan started to laugh, Terry Blanchard owns this property and he's asking 5000 credits for this wasteland? Tell him that I feeling generous with my offer, I will give him 1500 credits and not a credit more for that ill-gotten piece of dirt and you can even give him my name so he will know who he's dealing with.

Yes, Sir I will do that, give me a few hours and see what his response is. Pete hung up the phone and went to work on the property case.

Dan walked up to where Ben and Elvin were standing.

Well did you get ahold of the real estate company and inquired about that property that we were speaking of asked Elvin?

I got in touch with Pete and he is now contacting the current owner of the property with my offer. Which if he doesn't take my offer, I will kindly let it slip to his soon to be ex-wife that he was holding out on the assets in their pending divorce. I just might do it anyhow, because I cannot stand Terry Blanchard, he's a lowlife two-faced backstabbing piece of guttersnipe trash that should've been put in the waste shoot on the transport that brought him here.

Ben chuckled; now really tell us how you really feel. I'm glad I don't have to come up against you in contract negotiations.

I'm glad we don't either, not to brag but I am considered one of the best in my field and the firm has plenty of satisfied clientele. And I have two secret weapons, one is Ari and the other is Jamison, he must've hidden this very well under a shell company for them not to find it.

Did I hear my name been spoken over here Dan Rosenburg?

Yes, you did Ari, you overlooked something in a very important case? Does the name Terry Blanchard mean anything to you?

That despicable lowlife piece of human trash if it were legal I would make sure he was planted underneath the biggest building being built on this planet never to be seen again what has he done now?

Did you know that he owns property here close to us?

Oh, say it's not true, I would have to dig up every square inch of it and move it to the other side of the planet leaving a big gaping hole in the ground.

I have a deal working right now to rectify that, we should hear back from Pete soon but you and Jamison might want to take another into all of his holdings and Shell companies before his divorce if completed.

The four were standing there chatting when Dan's communicator went off, he looked at it and it was Pete calling back. Excuse me said Dan and he walked away to speak. Hello Pete good to hear from you so soon do you have any news for me?

Yes, Sir I don't know what there is going on with you but as soon as I mentioned your name as the purchaser, his whole attitude changed and he agreed to your price. I hope that you don't mind but I went ahead and submitted the offer for finalization, whenever you're ready, all you have to do is drop by the office and sign the contract.

That's great Pete but I would like for you to put it in another name. List it as property belonging to Andy and Jamison S. Willis and heirs. Put an exclusion that it cannot be sold or transferred to anyone other than their estate.

Okay Sir that's not a problem, it's a little unusual but I will put you down as the authorizing party that way you sign the paperwork. Is that okay inquired Pete.

That's perfect, thank you very much Pete there will be a nice bonus for you when I finalize the paperwork let's say the sooner the better.

I can run it out to your place if that's where you're at right now, I've seen two homes come through so far so I think that is possibly where you're at?

Yes, we're here all of us bring the paperwork. Dan hung up the phone.

Tony was in awe at everything that was going on and how fast-paced it was going; the work crews were busting their ass getting the houses set in their locations.

Andy and Jamison were standing beside each other watching and the crews working when Andy slipped his arm around Jamison's shoulder.

Jamison did not pull away but instead laid his head on Andy's chest as he watched.

Steve elbowed his father, looks like we're going to be needing another cottage.

Don't worry, things are already in the works remarked Elvin.

One house down and the second one was well on its way to being completed. Zach had called for a leveler after speaking to Dan and he told him what was up with the extra property.

Andy's heart sunk when he saw a construction company truck offloading a leveling plow and it went on the property next door. Well fuck there goes my dream, I was waiting for the property come down so I could afford it but some rich muther Fucker probably picked it up for a few thousand credits he mumbled. I'm going to be sick Jamison; I need to go on the house for a while nothing left for me here.

Would you like for me to be inside with you or do you need time?

Give me some time alone I'm not gonna be very good company for a little while replied Andy. He strode away back to his quarters next-door.

Dan and Elvin both noticed Andy's reaction to the leveler. But there was more to come. Dan walked over to speak to Tim and Robbie asking if there was any way another structure could be delivered today, something in the 4-bedroom range if there was one available on the lot?

Sure, replied Robbie, where would you like it placed on your property sir.

Not on this property but next-door to the Willis property where the leveler is at now cleaning up and making a pad for it. They will be running water over from Elvins place to it tomorrow.

Not a problem sir, we are on it replied Robbie.

Pete arrived with contracts in hand looking for Dan, Ari walked up to Pete to see if he could help, he took the packet from Pete and slid the paperwork out to see what Dan was doing now. He began to scan the contracts, Ari walked over to where Dan was standing and glared at him.

Daniel Alan Rosenburg would you care to explain this matter to me, as he held up the packet from the real estate company?

Not necessarily since you used my entire name but what do you want to know? Because I'm sure that I'm going to get an ear full.

Why do you think we need more land on the other side of the Willis farm, you know that someone has had his eyes on that parcel.

Yes, I do know but when I told you earlier that I was working on a situation with a certain asshole from the city that owned property here, this was it. I cleared up the problem so it would not be around us at all. And if you will read the entire contract instead of being hormonal and flying off the handle you will find that I have made provisions for the property.

Ari pulled the paperwork out again and began to read it, he skimmed through the first two pages and then when it got to the third page everything fell in order. Ari broke out in a smile, when are you letting them know, he inquired?

As soon as the house arrives today, they have no idea what's going on. Andy in fact went back to his quarters huffing and puffing replied Dan.

It's not good for him to get upset, you should know that better than anyone Dan Rosenberg. Jamison is clueless, he thinks he's out of a home and has to stay with someone in their room just because he is being nice to him. He confided in me that he thought Andy was a very nice and appealing person but he just didn't know if he was ready to take on the responsibilities of being a parent. If he wasn't even willing to care for his own that was an honor carry, how would he feel about raising someone else's child?

I understand your concerns Ari, Elvin and I spoke about the matter at hand. If they have a start in life with property with a home on it, that might change Andy's thinking process of the child that he is carrying. And it's not just any home, Robbie said that it is one of the deluxe models so it cost a little bit more. But let's face it, they are both worth it.

Well then are you going to sign this piece of paper for Pete and finalizing the deal? You are totally incorrigible and I think Elvin Willis is just as bad as you are replied Ari and walked away.

Are we both in trouble or what inquired Elvin?

No, he was smiling when he said it, had it been a frown or a scowl then I would've said Elvin head for the house and lock yourself in; Dan commented laughing.

Pete showed Dan everyplace that was flagged that he needed to sign on, for the property as durable power of attorney for the estate and the others listed on the contract of sale. Now Mr. Dan after this is filed it will be sealed so that no others can view the transaction just like you requested.

Thank you very much Pete and I will stop by the office with your bonus for the deal.

Thank you very much Mr. Rosenburg for your business and for being such a gracious and good customer.

There are a few other things that we need to discuss fairly soon Pete, I will be needing some more property for a business venture inside townships Eastern end. I will get the partners together and we will negotiate contracts on said properties.

That is fine with me, we have a conference room that's available at any time for you and your partners so that you can meet and discuss anything you need to, I'll have all the plot maps for the properties around the Township that are available and some that are not at this present time.

That's what makes you a good real estate broker Pete, always thinking ahead.

Thank you very much Sir now I'll leave you at your business here. By the way the place is looking wonderful, congratulations to you and Ari on your new homes.

Jamison walked up to Dan and Ari were the others we're watching everything. I'm sorry but I'm going to excuse myself and walk over to Andy's quarters, I'm getting tired and I think that Andy needs a little consoling. He was very upset about the property next door, I tried to tell him that other things will come up, maybe that wasn't meant to be his future but he wouldn't hear it.

Steve leaned over and whispered, make sure and put on the night latch so that no one can just barge in on the two of you.

Jamison blushed and thanked Steve for his concern. He walked next door and headed toward the back workers quarters.

Dan looked at Elvin and snickered but was quickly elbowed in his side by Ari. You leave them two boys alone both of you, I don't know which one of you is the bigger child in the whole matter.

Zach came back with the ultimate slammer, well at least neither one of them can get in trouble, they're both carrying already. This brought a sudden frowned from Ben's face.

Tim knew his father and broke the ice by saying; here comes the next house everybody it's bigger than the other two cottages so this must be Dan and Ari's temporary quarters.

As the moving rig brought in the third house Dion was at the back hanging off of the trailer. Hey sweet cheeks you thought about supper yet, got me a suit of clothes and I'll be ready for you to make sure and have that sexy as the yours ready.

Clarence couldn't turn any more shades of red than he already was after Dion's comments.

Steve wasn't going let that slide, damn bro big guy there's got the hots for you better make sure and use plenty of lube or you will be limping tomorrow because it's going to get hot tonight.

Clarence stood there with his mouth open looking at his younger brother, he turned around and stormed off stomping all way to the house.

Make sure and wash it good boy and put plenty of vent spray on yourself remarked Steve as he chuckled.

Elvin didn't say a word to his youngest son, he just shook his head brothers will be brothers. He decided he need to talk to Dion just to let the young man know what he was dealing with when it came to Clarence. He wasn't going to be rude to him, but just let Dion know that he was tenderhearted and deserved a loving person not someone that was a quick and easy piece of vent.

The third house was lowered into place as Clarence watched from the kitchen window. Dion was a very hard worker that didn't mind getting dirty. Clarence was glued to the window as Dion removed his outer shirt and with out missing a beat, he pulled his t-shirt and doused himself with the water hose. Clarence gasped when he saw Dion's prefect physique covered with a thick layer of dark hair just like his head. Holy shit he's human, Dion is a human. Lyle he is a human can you believe that, holy shit what the fuck am I going to do?

Lyle walked up and stood beside Clarence, first of all you're going to close your mouth because it's about to catch a fly second of all you're going to clean yourself in the shower very nicely and you going out for supper with that young man. Need I remind you any man that takes a second look at you in your condition and he still willing to take you out especially a human taking out a pregnant Genmen. He has to be a very noble young man, cute, well-built and noble.

Clarence heard the front door opened and he rushed to the living room to see who it was.

Elvin stood there in the doorway with a shit eating grin on his face. Now that you got a good eye full boy, get your butt in to that shower and clean yourself up and don't have that man waiting. That right there Clarence Willis is your future if you play your cards right, he's already smitten with you, he knows your condition and he still wants to go out tonight with you. What the hell you doing standing out here move it boy hit the showers.

Yes, Sir father I'm gone replied Clarence as he headed to his room.

Elvin walked into the kitchen is Lyle stood at the sink washing dishes watching the construction crew.

Did you know he was a human Elvin?

Nope; didn't have an idea that he wasn't a Genman until he removed his shirt. He grabbed that water hose and doused himself and I bet it was pure entertainment for a certain young Genman in this household.

Don't worry I got me an eye full too remarked Lyle, but you have no worries you are all the human that I need to take care of. May I ask you if Mr. Steven will be returning soon? I can sense the longing in your actions and demeanor.

I don't know Lyle; I've given him space and he is contemplating his next move. Whether or not I am part of his life is totally up to him.
