Daniel gently stroked his son's hair, playing with the highlights that miss Sonja had done for him trying to distract him from the pain that his body was experiencing.
Rocky was ever so attentive to Drake gently rubbing his abdominal region as the twins were being attached after conception. He looked up at Drake, you have to know that I never intended for this to happen yet I wanted to wait just like you wanted to wait so that you wouldn't be so tired carrying a child.
Don't worry Rocky said Drake; I'm a pure blood I'm built strong I can carry these two babies without a problem as long as I have you by my side. I know that I can count on my family for support throughout this pregnancy but without you it would be so much harder.
Don't worry Drake I'm not going anywhere; I will be with whenever I am not at work providing for the family that we will build together. I will help care for you, Shelby and these little ones that will be here before we know it.
Are you sure you want me around really, just wait to I start pumping up? You will be lying next to a Genman with a big old swollen belly and you won't feel like making love to me.
Rocky looked at him, I will lay beside you and hold you for the entire nine months you go into labor I'll be right there and tell our sons enter this world.
Daniel listened to the two of them as they spoke to each other like no one else in the world existed. He realized right then that his family at the right place, they would never ever again and his sons had wisely chosen mates for their life.
Drake began to move around a little bit as the burning and the pain subsided. Well, if it's okay with you Rocky can we go home, I feel like I can walk that far easily.
Rocky looked at him, are you kidding after what you just went through you want to walk home carrying twins freshly conceived twins at that? I have to call the doctor and get him to okay that and if he doesn't that's okay because I'll carry you home in my arms.
Rory was one step ahead of the others he already made a phone call to Caleb and explained the situation. Caleb had agreed to step out of the clinic and come by and check on Drake.
Caleb rang the Bell and waited for the door to open, Rory was standing right there near the door so he opened it and inviting Caleb inside.
Caleb walked over to see Drake and did a quick examination and scan. You look fine your vent is a little bit loose from all of the action that you've taken but the babies are doing great and I said babies you definitely have two hotspots in your abdominal region I want you to go home and it's fine for you to walk as long as you take it easy but on Thursday, I want you to come to the clinic for a complete examination. The two you need to take it easy for a couple of days then as long as there's no roughness you can continue to have sex is much as you want in fact that's the doctor's orders have good gentle sex throughout this pregnancy and it will help you birth these boys just fine. I say boys because 99% of all Genmen births are male and 98% of inner species births are male. Now if you start gaining weight a little too fast, I'll handle that when it happens. I want you to follow a strict nutritional meal guide and occasional treat such as a malted is allowed but not every day fresh vegetables fresh fruits and high-protein meets is what you need to consume.
Dr. Allen you do not have to worry one bit, he will have a very nutritious meal guide set down for him to consume during this pregnancy. I will be with him on every visit and when his parents want to come there more than welcome.
Sounds very good Rocky take care of him and your new family which I know you will and congratulations.
Derek and Daniel were very proud of their children. Caleb turned around and took one look at Daniel, looks like you two will be delivering about the same time first Regent and then you two, three sons and a dad all in a row that'll make my life just perfect.
Daniel looked at Dr. Allen in shock, no Sir I'm not pregnant just my boys.
I know that shine on the face of a pure blood genman, and that posture of the body. You're fresh, but you're carrying a little one for Derek congratulations come and see me in three days and I'll get your routine going.
It was Daniel who had to take a seat next before he fell over. Derek chuckled, looks like I exposed you when you overheated your kettle.
Caleb Allen bid everyone a good afternoon and told them to meet him at his office starting at 1 PM on Thursday for their visits all three of them, I'll let Titan know myself to be ready for his visit on Thursday also.
Daniel was euphoric to say the least is him in Daniel walked back to their house on the Hawthorne ranch.
Rocky and Drake were rounding up a few things so that they could go home when someone knocked the front door.
Rory answered the door and Wilson stood there with Samuel who was holding Orrin in his arms, can we come in and visit for a minute.
Sure, not a problem the more the merrier in fact I'm thinking about having this house added onto again because so many family members.
Wilson misunderstood him and apologized for his intrusiveness and said that he would not bother them if it was a problem.
Rory realizing this chuckled, Wilson it was a joke it was a human joke, you don't get it yet but that was a human joke. With everything this been going on this afternoon, your parents and Dr. Allen just left we've had a house full.
Is everything okay were Regent and the babies?
They're fine the doctor was here to see Drake.
Wilson and Samuel entered the house, is everything all right with Drake?
Everything everything's wonderful he just has the flu and it'll last for nine months but he'll be just fine when he gets through with it.
Wilson was at a loss once again until Samuel elbowed him to get his attention, sounds like your brother is pregnant because the only illness that takes nine months is a baby.
How can that happen he's not in cycle, he's not even near his cycle because we go in cycle together.
Well, my dear brother-in-law number one you're living around humans and when humans and Genmen get together human seed can cause a genman to drop an egg even when they're not in cycle and they get pregnant. I'd like for you to meet Rocky Anderson, he's the human that caused your brother to drop an egg it wasn't intentional at least not this early. But sometimes condoms break and the result is hello daddy.
Wilson walked over to Drake and Kneeled down beside him, is it true are you expecting a child?
Drake reached over and took Rocky's hand within his, no Wilson it's not true I am not expecting a baby, I'm expecting twins. Thursday, I go see the doctor and you really want to know what shocking, I don't pass out you hear this. Dad it's expecting a baby also, it seems that father really laid the rules down to him.
Wilson set there in a daze, so dad is pregnant that's just great maybe he'll leave all of us alone he'll have another child's future to ruin and control.
Regent decided to speak up and speak to his older brother, I know that you're hurt and you're still pissed off at dad for what he did and I don't blame you, but dad has seen the error of his ways and he is trying his best to adjust himself to a new life. For our entire lives he has had to watch after us and try to keep us safe. Some things that have happened were out of his and father's control but please do not blame him for every bad thing that happened, he cannot help himself because of everything that happened to him before we ever came along.
Wilson looked at Regent with a questionable look, what do you mean everything that happened to him before we came along you know something that I don't?
Regent looked at his two brothers and told them it was time some family secrets came out and if they understood everything, they would understand their dad.
Dad wasn't born on the old farm; he was shipped there when he was only 16 just like we saw other young Genman coming into the farm throughout our years living there. He was placed in lineup just like others were done throughout the years, it seems the farm boss took a special shine to dad he was young and did not know anything. The farm boss walked them over to his quarters butt naked he showed him inside, once they were there, he locked the door behind them. Before dad knew anything, he was face down in the farm boss was up on top of him and took him for the first time. Dad didn't live with the rest the Genman he stayed in the farm boss's house and only come out when he needed supplies or he snuck out when the farm boss was not looking. This went on until he was 22 human years old.
One day a new Genmen come on the farm and he was a breeder, dad took an instant liking to him and when the farm boss wasn't looking, he gave himself to him. Everything was fine until dad started to plump up, the farm boss through dad out of the house and was using a whip on him until father stepped in the way of the whip and he called him in the face that's where our father received that scar from that we can see on his face today. When the baby was born father pleaded with the farm boss to let them get some help because dad was struggling trying to birth Titan. When the baby was finally born 37 hours later the damage had been done. Dad quickly became pregnant with Drake and he was birthed as the months went on and Drake began to grow Titan develops some behavioral and aggressive outburst issues and one such outburst, he knocked the highchair containing Drake over he didn't mean to hurt Drake but he did and Drake received his scar on his forehead dad was already heavy with you Wilson when the farm boss took Titan and sent him away so that he would never be seen again. After you were born Wilson, they took a little break and when the farm boss started to show dad some attention, father stepped in and I was conceived by dad.
So, before you hold a grudge against dad for protecting us please think about it now that you know what he went through.
Wilson started to cry and Samuel embraced him. Samuel looked at everyone and swore everyone to secrecy that what he was about to tell them they would not tell anyone including their parents. Everyone agreed that this would only stay between the boys no one else.
The day that your dad carried Wilson to the breeding rooms, he was stripped off outside like everyone else and sent into the breeding room to wait for the breeder to enter and take care of him. But we found himself in the darkened room he realized that he was not alone waiting for him in the darkness was the farm boss, he shoved Wilson face down the bed and he took him first, he released his seed into his fertile womb after he was finished with Wilson, he let the other breeder in and he also took Wilson. Orrin is the product of the farm boss and his revenge against your parents. I am a hybrid myself and the product of a meeting of a human with my dad that was never spoken about, I was abandoned right before my transition here at the Z1. Wilson and I are together now Orrin is so young he does not know the difference; I have bonded with him since I have been feeding him and he will never know the difference that I'm not his father. Anyone can be a breeder but a true father stays for his son protects his son and raises him right along with the dad. And I'm in his life forever so get used to it.
Regent and Drake set beside their brother and wrapped their arms around him to comfort him. They both told him what had happened would never be spoke about by them and as far as they were concerned Samuel was Orrin's father plain and simple. If he ever wished to tell his dad what happened in that room it was totally up to him, but his secret was safe with the two of them. Rory and Rocky told Wilson and Samuel that they would also keep the family secret and no one would ever question Orrin's legitimacy as he is and Samuels son.
Wilson looked at the mantle clock and decided it was time that they needed to go home so Regent and Rory could have their home back with peace and quiet. But everyone was always welcome in their home.
As everyone left Regent and Rory set on the sofa enjoying the peace and quiet of their home together because in 8 ½ short months it was going to get very noisy with triplets.
Zack asked Madison if you ever seen an ocean?
No Sir, Mr. Zack I've only seen them in pictures and a few old earth videos why?
Well son after we do what we need to in the city tomorrow were going for a very long and tiring trip you will be driving us and we're not stopping until we get to the Southern Ocean. I promised Ben one day we would go see it and no matter what happens tomorrow is time to go see it for ourselves. I would you to make sure and document the trip for all the others to see, I want Luther and Tim to see me and their dad together and happy, we will hold off on the announcement about the baby until we get back to the Z1. You will bring us back here with new provisions and were gonna stay a bit longer.
Yes Sir Mr. Zack, according to what is said tomorrow in this big announcement I wish to let Benjamin know that I'm okay and I will return as soon as I am finished with my assignment.
Not a problem Madison while we're at the hospital listening to the announcement, I will slip Dr. Smithers a note with a sealed envelope from you. I'm sure that Benjamin will get it without a problem. Now we need to round up a few things and head out and go to the city before anyone else arrives.
Within the hour the three had slipped out the back in were headed to the city. Zach knew exactly where to go there and head to the city shelter and stay there overnight so that no one would ever know, because the administrator there would definitely never say anything because Zack had helped her out so much over the years, she was definitely in debt to him.
It took almost 4 hours to make it into the City and they were at the shelter.
The speeder was hidden underneath a tarp in the back corner of the compound. Ben was pleasantly surprised at the accommodations that they were afforded. He played with the children and talked to their parents about their struggles. As they spoke with the administrator, she thanked Zack for everything that he had done over the years and for the new endowment for the shelter. She was very proud to show all of the upgrades and updates that had been done by the construction crews, along with the new mattresses on the bed's so that everyone could be comfortable.
Zack acted like it was not a big deal he was just trying to help out others who were less fortunate than himself. He told her about all of the children that had been placed with different families on the ranch and in the Township, she was very pleased to hear about their successes.
It was getting late and they were tired, so the three of them took bunks amongst the others who lived at the shelter because they had no home to call their own.
Before they knew it, morning was upon them, Ben could smell fresh coffee in the air. Ben quietly slipped out of his bunk and made his way to the kitchen area for the administrator was sitting at a small table enjoying her first cup. She invited Ben to have a seat and have a cup of his own.
So, after all of these years that I have known Zachariah I finally meet his one and only true love. It is such an honor to finally meet you Ben. You gave my friend two of the most beautiful and respectable sons that were ever allowed to walk upon this planet and for that I thank you.
Ben was embarrassed, thank you but the honor is all mine. You opened this place to us last night when we were in need just like we were anyone off of the streets and I think you.
She looked at Ben for a second, so is it his?
Ben smiled a million-megawatt smile, yes ma'am; it just happened for us and I couldn't be happier. We tried everything we could but true love is inevitable and will always come back together when it's time. The boys do not know about it all they know is were both gone young Madison took Zack first and drove him to an undisclosed location the next day we departed for parts unknown to me when he drove up to an old raggedy cabin and out walked Zachary, I saw the same person standing there that I had fell in love with so many years earlier before laws and rules tore as apart.
Madison drove off leaving me there with Zachary and is he held me in his arms the years melted away and when you love someone as much as I love him and he loves me things happen.
Yes Ben, they do and no matter what anyone says or anyone does the two of you belong together. No matter what the law says or the rules threaten you to will stay together this time until one draws his last breath.
A disheveled Zack walked into the kitchen area and asked if it was a private conversation or could anyone join in and get a cup of coffee because he needed one bad.
The director pointed her finger backwards, the cups and the coffee pot it is over where it always is, Zack make yourself at home and as far as the conversation is, Ben and I are very good. I need to get up and helped the cooks prepare breakfast for the three of you can be at your meeting this morning.
Zack set beside Ben, a penny for your thoughts?
Zachary I'm in it for the long haul, through the ups and the downs the good and the bad no matter what anyone says I will never let you go astray again. I will fight for you until I have no breath left in my body and my soul leaves to join those that went on before. So, if you're not committed to me and this baby let me know right now.
Zack leaned over and kissed Ben's cheek, you have been and you are forever my only love, besides our children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren you are first and foremost in my life. Anyone who does not respect that has no place in our lives or on the Z1.
Breakfast at the shelter was a busy and noisy affair as the children chattered, parents were getting ready to go out and hunt for work and others were getting other things ready so the children could be educated there at the shelter with their own guidance.
The chiming clock signaled that it was 7:30 AM and the director suggested to Zach that they need to be ready to leave so that they could join the press conference before it started. They needed to blend into the crowd so that they were not noticed.
One young man stood out to Zach, and he pulled him to the side and asked if he could do a job for him at the conference and he would be greatly rewarded for his service. Where are your parents' young man?
Sir my name is Ezra and I have no parents; I live here at the shelter because they have gone on. The director keeps me hit out so I won't be taken to a children's orphanage. It's much better here than on the streets, I get food and clothing and shelter here on the streets I would have to do things that I would be ashamed of just to feed myself.
Ben overheard Zach and the young man speaking and went to the director to talk to her about young Ezra.
Zack handed the young man the letter that was addressed to Benjamin from Madison. I will help you all I can to keep you safe but I need you to do something here for us. The letter that I have given you must be handed to Dr. Ron Smithers at the press conference so he can get this to the person it belongs to I will attach a note to it with his instructions. When you hand it to him make sure and disappear into the crowd and come back to us.
Yes Sir, Mr. Zack you can count on me to do what is needed. Ezra took the letter and placed it in a pocket on the inside of his jacket to keep it safe.
The three grown-ups and the young boy took a cab from the shelter to the Medical Center and they waited for the press conference to begin.
There was quite a crowd building already as they arrived so it would be very easy for them to go unnoticed. In front of the hospital there was a podium standing by itself waiting for the speakers to emerge from the hospital entrance. Dr. Ron Smithers came out of the front doors and approached the podium, in a flurry of activity the press began to pelt him with questions. He held up his hand, all in due time first for those who do not know me my name is Dr. Ron Smithers and I am the chief medical officer and director of the Hawthorne Memorial Medical Center and the generous endowments by the Hawthorne family and enterprises we provide medical treatment for all who seek it. Earlier this year we had a very special patient that required a very complex and dangerous surgical procedure to help save his life and without further ado I would like to introduce to you Sen. Ralph Moreself and his lovely wife Phyllis.
There was an around of applause and flash of light's as the senator and his wife walked out of the main entrance and up to the podium.
Good morning members of the press and honored guest that have taken out of their busy lives time to attend this press conference. And it is a press conference that I might add that would have never taken place had it not been for the Hawthorne Memorial Medical Center and its very talented medical staff and 2 very talented and courageous young men who saved my life six months ago.
When I entered this hospital very ill, I was given very little chance of pulling through the surgery much less surviving for an extended length of time due to a problem with my heart. Even though Dr. Smithers is a quite talented doctor in his own right the real thanks go to a very talented young man and his understudy who were tending a medical conference that was going on here at the center.
One of these young men is very exceptional, he knew me from nowhere and I meant nothing to him. He is self-taught, education was tonight to him because of his station in life and who he was. The other young man received the best education that can be afforded to him but it hadn't been for the first young man he would've wasted all of his talents due to prejudice and bigotry that was cast upon him from an early age. Certain circumstances found the educated man being mentored and reeducated by the self-taught man. I would not be here today before you had it not been for these two remarkable young men who working as a team saved my life. Sometimes our differences bring us together and make a stronger as it was in this case.
Sen. Moreself stepped aside from the microphone and his wife stepped up, without further ado I would like to introduce to you these two most remarkable young men that my husband and your senator has been speaking of, first there is now Dr. Caleb Allen the young man who assisted the other.
Caleb walked outside and took his place beside the senator and his wife.
And now I would like to introduce to the world the very talented and most humble young man I have ever met Rupert Sterling. Without his knowledge commitment and determination to learn everything that he could my husband and your senator would not be standing here today, I ask you to please give this wonderful young man a round of applause as you meet him for the first time.
As the door opened the news media went ballistic, had it not been for the security staff they would've rushed the podium. Voices were overlapping flashes of cameras were going off in video feeds were live. Around of applause erupted from the crowd as Rupert made his way onstage and stood to the right of the Sen.'s wife.
Phyllis stepped back in the senator once again commanded the microphone.
He held his hand up in the applause once again quieted, as I recovered in record time my wife was beside my bed always. And there were two young men that came into my room every other hour to check me to make sure I was doing fine. They were very professional with the care that I received. And it wasn't because I was a senator it was because I was a person in need and I was their patient to be cared for. For that we will always be grateful, and for the life that I now have I can never repay them at all. The center stepped aside and his wife once again took the podium.
As my husband recovered, I made time to speak with both of the young men and what I found out changed my view of others and my world forever. For Caleb he came from a family with money and resources the best of everything in the best of education, and I will never hold that against him because he is a very prized member of the medical community that he serves.
But when the other young man spoke and I learned about his life I was truly amazed. You see Rupert was born just Rupert and it a young age he ran from home the only home that he knew that mistreated him every chance they got. He was taken in by a kind yet humble person, he was assigned a job and became proficient with in it in mere weeks. The person who took him in noticed that Rupert remembered everything that he heard saw or touched and for someone to have a mind such as Rupert's is a rare. And his gifts do not stop just his mind he is truly one in 1 billion.
His caretaker noticing this about Rupert challenged Rupert's mind and made available to him an extensive private library. Rupert was not one to back down from a challenge that he was given or offered, he found out that he liked medicine and read every book and journal available to him from that library. But this was no ordinary library for this library contained medical books and journals spanning all the way back to earth and beyond. Besides human medicine he was also afforded the chance to learn Genmen and their predecessors Goran medicine. It was this wonderful young man and his ability to remember and learn from every source available to him that saved my husband's life. This fine young man standing beside me is like no other that his come before him. You see a man here standing beside me, but I will tell you what you truly see is the talented and gifted ability of the genman race. Rupert Sterling is a pure blood Genman and without his talents my husband's life would not be any more.
I asked him what he wanted in exchange for what he did for my husband and your senator. For himself he wanted nothing but for his people and those born of both of our races he wanted a chance to be recognized for what they contribute to our great planet. Children which are born of both races are not recognized in the human world they are actually shamed and discriminated on just like every genman. Even though their parents may love them when their human parent ceases to exist these children lose every connection to the human world and live only in the Genmen world. This is long overdue to be stopped, without their talents many things that humans take for granted would not be and I would like to thank Rupert, Genmen and the hybrids that make our world complete.
There was a moment of silence before a joyful round of applause erupted. Sen. Moreself then took over the podium once again. It is said in this proclamation that I am about to read; from this day forward by the proclamation of law passed by the governing body of this planet, by unanimous consent; all Genmen and Hybrid Human Genmen are equal to their human counterparts and fellow inhabitants of this world. This law all will be known to all as Rupert's Plight named after Rupert Sterling. No part of this law all may be relaxed or released by any future governing body. Genmen had been a part of our world for over 50 years when a transport during an electrical ion storm crash landed killing all but 50,000 of the slaves that it carried to his new home world. There were between 48 to 49,000 males that survived and released from slavery of the royal family that contained them there were approximately 1000 female members of the royal ruling family that survived the crash and quickly dispersed onto our planet hiding out in fear of reprisal for the way they treated their male slaves. This history has been hidden from every day humans for far too long and it is time that that ends also.
Thanks to a courageous human Zachary Spinelli and the Z1 ranch which he owns and runs he has made it his mission to educate the masses by building a world class Museum, education center opened to all, and the library that will rival anything anywhere else on this planet. The Museum features actual pieces of the crashed transport, what couldn't be salvaged has been re-created and is marked as a re-creation. There are monitors in each section that contain historical record of the flight from captain's records, pilots records and surveillance systems in the slave quarters. It is an eye-opener and I for one, though I have watched excerpts on a viewing screen will see this for myself.
Today we start a new era on this planet we are no longer separate we are the inhabitants of this planet and we are all equal. I thank you for the time that you have afforded me and if Rupert would take the podium and the news media is not acting like a bunch of rabid rackknars he will give a short interview but I implore you take time out and look up the Z1 Museum and library and pay a visit, what you learn will change your lives forever. Sen. then stepped away from the podium and Rupert while scared to death stepped forward.
The first reporter to ask her question was lead reporter Linda Lang, if I may address you as Rupert?
Please go ahead I feel most comfortable with my own name.
Tell me please Rupert, were you concerned of what was in it for you when you did what you did for the Sen.?
No Miss Lang, I saw all what I did when they opened the Sen.'s chest and I realized that no amount of human surgical procedure could save his life because he didn't need to be cut on, he needed an antidote that is only available due to genman technology and Genmen historical facts.
Can you tell me Rupert what was the Senators treatment?
He was given a specialized Genmen treatment that was made especially for his biology and without giving up any trade secrets that might be exploited by greedy corporations I will leave it at that. But I can tell you it was a three-part process that saved his life. I had no reason to feel sympathy or ill will toward the man that lie on that gurney because I did not know him at all. I was simply doing what I was asked to do by Dr. Smithers.
If you do not mind Rupert may I ask where you came up with a name Sterling?
Not at all Linda, my last name was taken from my mate. Someone that I love dearly and I respect.
So, you live with a human now Rupert?
Yes, Miss Lang I live with the human now, we were not together prior to this event that took place. And just to answer anyone else's questions yes, I am loved by human and he means the world to me. He's here with me but not on stage as we respect our privacy.
One of the other reporters held up a hand, yes man I answer a question for you Sir?
Since you have taken a human mate does that mean you will soon have children together or were you to wait?
Wow, somebody finally asked the big question and I fully intend to answer that. I work alongside my husband in the clinic on the Z1 we work as a team and in 3 ½ months we will welcome our first child because before you I stand a pure blood genman who is 5 ½ months expecting.
The announcement brought a flurry of questions from the news media like no one had ever expected.
You mean to tell me you're standing right there and you were 5 ½ months with a child that's hard to believe, I'm not calling you a liar it's just that you're not showing anything.
It's just the way Genmen are built, and our abdominal region we have what is called a girt. It is a series of fibrous muscles that maintain our abdominal region as we carry our young. Since this is my first time my girt is sturdy but like some others that have given birth multiple times their girt will slacken and they will show. I can tell you for a fact I have gained 28 pounds. My hips are larger my thighs are larger in my rear posterior has increased in size also. In the museum we have interactive section it's called Tim the incredible Genmen. It takes viewers from shortly after Tim conceives his child all the way up to and including the birth of that child that turned out to be twins. We have a wonderful technology called 8D scanning designed by Genmen for the complex scanning of the abdominal region of the genman and it has been offered free of charge to the medical complexes across this planet. The machines are small and offer a risk-free assessment to the expectant person or anyone that need to scan to the medical complexes.
Unexpectedly Matt walked out to join Rupert on stage. For everyone that doesn't know me my name is Dr. Matt Stirling and I am Rupert's husband and permanently bonded mate. And I can tell you right now no one on this planet could have made me happier than my mate has made me today. The first chance I get I am going to make it official Mr. and Mr. Matthew and Rupert Sterling. And if anyone has a problem with me choosing the genman as my spouse too bad it's your problem not ours. The two of them stepped back.
Phyllis once again stepped up to the podium and introduced Dr. Caleb Allen to the crowd.
Caleb almost threw up when his name was said but he cautiously walked to the podium. It was my honor to assist Rupert in the making of the three-part treatment for the Sen. when I first met Rupert, he and Matt were not together even though they were colleagues from the Z1 they were definitely not a couple. Rupert has taught me a lot in fact I have learned so much since I have been assigned in the medical department at the Z1 that it has changed my life. I was brought up to be arrogant and a snob when it came to the lesser ones. And I voice my opinion and almost got thrown totally out of my medical career. I was paired up with Rupert as my mentor by Dr. Smithers who told me I had a lot to learn in life if I was ever going to become a successful doctor, I might end up a mediocre Dr. never a success because of my prejudiced attitude.
And learn I did, I learned that I didn't know anything about anyone human or Genmen. I had been brought up in a very rich household never having to work for anything and never showing anyone any respect. That was until I had to humble myself and let Rupert be in charge of my career choice. What I have learned from him is immense, and I wouldn't change it for anything in this world Matt and Rupert are two of my best friends. My very best friend I met after I was assigned to the Z1 and he changed my world for the better. I can tell you without a doubt today is a very special day for us I would like to introduce the world to my mate and the dad to our future children at this time I would for everyone to meet my mate and future spouse who unlike Rupert is showing due to the fact he's carrying our twins please welcome Houston Roland Allen. The door opened and Houston very embarrassed walked out with his hand on his lower stomach which was bulging quite a bit.
Houston being so nervous took the stage beside Caleb. Caleb wrapped his arms around him and give him a full-on kiss in front of everyone and the whole world to see. There was no doubt how he felt about him and the children that he carried within his body.
One of the reporters asked Houston what it was like to be pregnant by human.
Houston had been waiting for this question all his life, no different than my dad feels every time he carries for my father who is human. I am proud to tell anyone and everyone that I am a hybrid human Genmen. No longer will I be locked away and made to feel that I am less than anyone else because now I am equal, I am the best of both worlds within one body. When the senator spoke of the new law Rupert's Plight, I felt that he was talking about my life I come from a very close family but if something ever happened to my father, my dad and my siblings and I under the old rules would have been left with nothing.
I thank Mr. Zachary Spinelli and the Z1 every day of my life now for everything that they have afforded us as we arrived. I grew up on a very small farm we were treated like second-class citizens because we were hybrids, but after we came to the Z1 everything changed thanks to Mr. Zach, he is as Mr. Z are Mr. Zach by most all that live on the Z1 for a lucky few he is known as uncle Zach or uncle Z and for the truly blessed they get to call him father, grandfather, or great-grandfather. Without the generosity and foresight of this man we would be nothing but very poor and struggling for everything. Wherever you're at Mr. Z thank you for the future that I now have due to your generosity and understanding and your wonderful ranch called the Z1.
Zack couldn't stand it anymore and lowered his shades and nodded his head so that Houston could see him in the crowd.
Houston broke out in a large smile and lipped thank you to him.
Zack, Ben, Madison and Ezra then disappeared into the crowd. Ezra had done his job as he was requested and delivered the envelope with a note attached to Dr. Smithers unnoticed by anyone.
Dr. Smithers step back to the podium, I would like to thank members of the press and everyone else that attended this press conference here and all over the world via live feed. I need to get back to work and everyone else has jobs that they need to do and places they have to be. I implore the media to please contact the Z1 and set up a tour of the ranch through their press juncture so they can get a realistic view of what really goes on a properly ran Genmen ranch. Take your families and journey to the Z1 go to the museum discover what has been hidden too long from the masses you will be amazed. Now we conclude this conference goodbye good luck and bless you.
All the members on the stage area went back into the hospital in the main lobby of the hospital patients and staff members broke out into applause as the group entered the main lobby.
Zack, Ben, Madison and Ezra went back to the shelter. Ezra went to his bunk and took a seat. Zach and Ben went to the administration office to speak with administrator, after about 30 minutes Zack and Ben left the office and in Ben's hand there were three letters. One was addressed to Lester, another one to his sons Tim and Luther and a third one was for their personal records.
Zack and Ben went to work as a was sitting on his bunk looking dejected and lonely. Ben was the first one to speak; Ezra Zach and I have made arrangements for you; no longer will you be staying here at the shelter. You're now young man on a mission, the first letter that I hand you will be for the driver of a special transit that will take you to your new home. The gentleman's name is Lester and he drives our personal transit that belongs to the Z1 ranch. When you arrive at the Z1 he will escort you to the main house, then you will speak to a man named Jarvis. You will tell him that you are to personally deliver this letter to Timothy and Luther per; Mr. Zack and Ben.
Ezra looked at both Ben and Zach, may I ask who Timothy and Luther are?
It was Zach's turn to speak, they are our oldest sons. They are running the Z1 while we are away, I would like for you to hand this letter to Tim and after they had both read it if they have anything else to say tell them this. Father says do not disturb a sleeping rackknar for he can be very vicious when angered.
Then what Sir what's next for me after I deliver these letters?
If they follow the letters as written your brothers will welcome you to the family and show you to your room. You will have full access to the entire ranch, don't try Jarvis he might be older but he is in charge of the house and he will not fill one bit guilty about calling you down when you misbehave that's one thing he has never been shy about. Jarvis is the oldest Genmen member living on the Z1 and he is the house manager.
You will be required to start school, and the boys know the routine you will go to Township you will go to miss Sonja she will clean you trim you get you presentable and make sure that you have proper clothing to wear. If the boys ask you, where we are at tell them that, our parents told you "quote unquote" that it's none of their damn business will be full back when we see fit.
Ezra looked at Mr. Zack and Mr. Ben. You mean that the two of you adopted me?
Ben took a knee in front of the boy and brushed his hair out from his eyes. Yes, we have just like we adopted him when he came to us at the Z1. Luther is our blood but you and Tim are our choice. So, gather your clothing so we can get on the road and get you to your destination, say your quick goodbyes to everyone here and we will be at a safe distance and we shall watch you get on that transit will leave and return later.
After the thunderous applause Dr. Smithers held up his hand for everyone to pay attention. This is a private announcement to the staff patients and family members here at Hawthorne Memorial Medical Center. Rupert Stirling, please front and center.
It pleases me to announce through unanimous decree by every Medical University on this planet. After thorough examination of your test scores and attendance, medical treatment plan and treatment of a patient under your care from this day forth you shall be known as Dr. Rupert Stirling, you are a permanent staff member of the Hawthorne Memorial Medical Center and all the privileges of being a doctor here on staff will be extended to you. Congratulations Dr. Stirling.
Rupert did what to say but to accept the plaque that was being handed to him and the diploma.
Ed and Carter Hawthorne were blown away they had no idea that this was about to happen. Dr. Smithers, kept this one under wraps.
The announcement brought rambunctious round of applause and Wolf whistles from the crowd there was only one media member amongst them Linda Lange. She recorded the entire event for prosperity and there was a special feed going live only to the Z1 and Hawthorne Ranch's.
Ron Smithers once again spoke to the crowd. This today will go down in history; Rupert is the first of many to come. Now known as Dr. Rupert Stirling he has broken ground for all those who wish to follow in his footsteps. Not only is he the first recognized and licensed Genmen Dr. on the planet but also the first of official recognized Genmen to have earned a college degree. And he is also the first Genmen that is allowed to practice medicine in any medical facility on this planet. This is a great day for Genmen, hybrid human Genmen and humans in general. Now if I can get this very embarrassed the young man back here maybe he can say a couple words.
Rupert stepped up in front everyone once again, I really don't know what to say other than thank you for believing in me, thank you for everything that I have received here today and for all of the Z1 who believed and supported me. Mr. Zack wherever you are I did this because of you and the others that encouraged me I owe you all more than you will ever know and I will not let you down.
Matt walked up to Rupert and in front of everyone wrapped his arms around him and kissed him so that the whole world could see how much he loved and meant to him.
Carter walked up to the two doctors and wrapped his arms around them and congratulated both of them. Rupert like I said; I'm shocked I'm amazed but I'm not surprised you did this you might've had encouragement but you decided not to put the books down, you must think yourself also.
Slowly everyone made their way out of the main lobby, Rupert was given his new doctor's coat. One side it had the Medical Center's name on the other it read Dr. Rupert Stirling M.D., Genman Medical Specialist. As Rupert put it on, he was humbled yet he swelled with pride for all Genmen, purebloods and hybrids.
Zack and Ben watched Ezra hand Lester the letter, Lester read the letter out on the sidewalk then ushered the young man into the transit shuttle, he looked around and just shook his head and got on to the transit.
Ezra had never been out of the city, in this ride to the country was nice. Before he knew it, they were pulling up to the gates at the main house.
Lester pulled up and parked the shuttle and he helped Ezra retrieve his things from down underneath. He walked to the front door and rang the bell; Jarvis opened the door and when he saw Lester standing there with the boy he smiled. Welcome to the Z1 I trust that you had a wonderful trip young man how may I be of service to you today Sir.
Ezra reached into his pockets and pulled out the letter, sir I have a letter with me that I have been instructed to give to Timothy and Luther by Mr. Ben and Mr. Zack.
Jarvis stepped aside, right this way and I will show you to the office where they are at so you make complete your job that you have been assigned by the Masters of the Z1. Jarvis went to the office door and knocked and was told to come on in. Jarvis showed Ezra into the office and told him to hand the letter off to Mr. Tim, then he left the room closing the door behind him.
Ezra walked up to the desk for Tim sat and handed him the signed and sealed letter and waited for him to read it.
Luther walked up beside Tim so they could read it together.
To Our dear sons Tim and Luther;
Before you, stands a young man, his name is Ezra. Congratulations to you both he is your little brother, we expect you to show him the upmost kindness and respect that any family member of the Z1 commands. And since he is your little brother you are expected to you will guide him and watch after him until we come home. If we come home and we find out that you have not been the two young men that have been raised at the Z1 and in the Spinelli household as our sons there will not be a rock low enough that you can crawl under and hide.
Your loving parents;
Zack and Ben Spinelli
Both of the boys stood there behind the desk with their mouth open, Luther looked at Ezra, use our parents are they okay?
Yes, they are just fine, we attended the press conference together and they sent me back home they said I am to stay here and mind Jarvis because he puts up with no shenanigans, he might be older but don't try him because he is quicker than the any young whippersnapper. Mr. Ben, I mean dad said that one of you would show me where I will sleep, and where I have to eat at. I don't need a big place just something small maybe a little room off, to the side out of the way where I don't bother anyone. I only had a bed where I was before but it was okay at least it was clean and no one bothered me.
Tim got up and walked around the desk and looked the boy up and down, he was a little skinny slightly under nourished but cook and Jarvis would fix that soon enough. Tell me young man what are you, are you human or special.
Ezra looked down toward the floor, I'm not special the other kids called me freak boy because I was built different. This is mean you're going to make me leave also?
Tim laughed and took a knee in front of Ezra. No, it does not because like you when I came here. Father and Dad took me in and made me a part of this family to, Luther was born to this family but he's my brother no doubt just like you are. And as far as you being built different, you are built just the way you are supposed to be. You are perfect Ezra just the way I am built and stick in the mud older brother Luther is. Now are you hungry have you eaten.
I had breakfast this morning but I am kinda getting a little hungry if I could have a piece of bread and something to drink it would be fine.
Tim stood up walked over and pressed the intercom button the voice on the other end announced you have reached the kitchen this is the cook how can I help you.
Yes, you can help me by setting another place at the lunch table I know were running a little bit late that we have a new member of the family joining us today and from now on. His name is Ezra and he is now the newest member of the Spinelli family that lives in the main house.
Yes Sir, Mr. Tim we will have lunch setting within five minutes, and if master Ezra is listening welcome to the main house from every staff member of the house enjoy your life here.
Ezra did not know what to think about it, were these people for real first a nice couple shows up spends the night at the shelter and today he's in this huge mansion, maybe he needed to pinch himself and wake up from this dream before it turned into a nightmare.
Luther couldn't help himself he just had to ask the boy. Do you know where our parents are at and when the going be back home?
Ezra smiled and turned to Luther; no disrespect meant Sir, but dad wanted me to deliver this message to whoever asked that question. It's none of your damn business where they are at or where they're going, they'll be back when they damn well please and not before then if you have any more questions save it till, they get home.
Tim almost fell out of the chair laughing at Luther and the stupid look he had on his face. Well, you just had to ask didn't you, and boy you got it with both barrels. It looks like our parents picked out the best little brother they could find and dad's message couldn't have been delivered any clearer than Ezra delivered it to you.
Luther wanted to laugh at himself but he did not want to disrespect Ezra so he stood up from his crouched position and announced; I think it is lunch time and we really need to go.
Tim reached over and picked up Ezra and set him up on his shoulder so he could stand up tall. Little brother it looks like you're going to fit in here just fine, score one for Ezra - Luther zero.
Coming soon P -- 57
