The Z1 Ranch P -- 68 CGW©
After Tom's delivery everyone was exhausted, it was time to go back to the manor house so that conversations and bonding's could resume with Chasten and his son. Zach wanted to stop by the transition section and check on the two newest young people going through theirs.
Go ahead Zach, I am exhausted and I will see you when you get to the main house.
Okay Ben I'll see you then, but remember I love you.
Before Zach stopped by the transition rooms, he decided to pay a visit to his grandson Lex. Working, late aren't you, young man?
Just trying to make sense of some of these new scans and new reports grandfather, personally I'm stumped on one of them. I've been over it five times and it always comes up the same, but I'm not so sure that it's a pure positive result because the patient has not completely transformed that will be done by in the morning.
Hell, hand me the file Lex let me sit down and look at it.
I want you to look grandfather at the two participants in front of you, look at their parental markers and then go back and look at their DNA and genetic markers. Tell me if I'm reading this correctly and we have a match?
Zack looked at all the paperwork in front of him column by column marker by marker DNA strand by DNA strand. He laid the paperwork down and looked up at his grandson.
Okay grandfather you've been doing this longer than I have, tell me if you see what I do, two siblings with the exact same parental DNA matches. And then after you see that tell me what bloodlines you see. Only after you tell me what you know or what you suspect will I show you anymore results, but I would like to wait till in the morning so that we have the newest samples to compare.
Well Lex what I see is two DNA matches, both offspring show the same father and dad, I don't understand what the problem is?
Lex removed two other pieces of paper from the files. Grandfather maybe this will clear up something for you as to why I am totally confused about this.
Zach took the paperwork and began to go over it, he looked up at his grandson. You fucking kidding me right now, you're playing joke on me, right?
No grandfather, no joke not whatsoever I would never ever do that to you.
You mean subject A and subject B are biological siblings, so that would mean parental unit for number two is the same Dad for both of them and the father who is an unknown DNA match, is also the father for both of them?
Yes, Sir that is correct, but I would like to wait in the morning until we get the final results after transitioning completion, so there will be no doubts.
Lex don't tell anyone, and when I say anyone, I mean anyone and everyone no one can know about this. Tomorrow morning I'll come back will take the subject out of the transition chambers and walk this person back to the main house so that we can sit down and discuss it with everyone first the two siblings have to understand who they really are and then we can bring the parent in and introduce him to his children, both of them.
Zach left the transition area without checking on either of the kids that were there, he needed to return to the main house so that he could gather his thoughts for what he was about to do to people's lives that he loved and respected.
Zach returned to the reading room where Ben and Chasten were sitting the baby Sebastian who was fast asleep in his father's arms.
Ben sensed that Zach was a little preoccupied, is everything all right at the centers?
They're fine everybody's doing perfect just like they should. So, I need to find out from you where is Sebastian going to sleep tonight?
Before Ben could say anything Chasten spoke up, with his grandparents that's where. I may be his father but if he gets hungry in the middle night, I can't feed him. Plus, the whole bottle thing and does not make sense at this time. Tomorrow morning I'll start learning to take care of my son, but I can't do it without the two of you helping me become the best father that I can.
Speaking of fathers. Chasten your father is coming by tomorrow to see the baby. He does not have any idea that you are here because we have not informed him yet of your whereabouts.
No offense Mr. Zach, but after everything I've been through, I'm not ready to see my parents yet. Enough damage was done to me and my family because of them.
Chasten don't be too hard on your father, he like you was in the dark about your parentage. The female that posed as your mom manipulated him because he fell in love with you, a little boy that he could claim as his own. He's just as much of a victim in this whole thing is you and the baby are and Christoph also. He's doing everything he can on his in to help us locate Christoph for you and Sebastian.
I hear you Mr. Zach, but for some reason there's a hole torn into my heart. It's going to take time before any of it can be healed.
Okay Chasten I understand but after tomorrow you might understand even more and realize the you are not in this world alone anymore. You have a family behind you now, a dad that needs to get to know his son and grandson, who he has fallen head over heels in love with.
Ben stood up, you two can stay up all night and talk but I'm tired and I know this baby is exhausted to so I'm going to put him to bed, Chasten hand me your son and were going go upstairs. Zach will show you to a spare room that you can use is yours for as long as you want.
Thank you very much Mr. Ben for everything you Mr. Zach are doing for us.
Don't worry about it boy, family looks after family. Ben smiled and walked away carrying Sebastian sleeping in his arms.
Okay Chasten, I'm tired after everything today. I'll show you to your room so I can get you settled in then I'm going to see my Ben, get out of these clothing and lay down for the night. Cook will have breakfast early in the morning ready for you so that you get an early start on the day. We will have to have a discussion after breakfast when I have returned from the transition quarters. And I want you to keep an open mind about everything, we talk about.
Yes, sir Mr. Zach I will do just that.
Zach didn't get a whole lot of sleep, and Ben noticed it because he kept rolling over and was restless.
Zach was trying to ease out of bed not to disturb Ben; so, would you like to talk to me about this now what kept you so wound-up last night that you could not get a decent night sleep? Questioned Ben.
Zack set back down on the bed, not really. But after I get through over with the transition center, and I bring the two young ones out we need to all sit down and have a discussion. First, they're going to eat, then everybody needs to report to the reading area so we can talk. You need to have Sebastian there; this affects him just as much as it does anyone else.
Ben was a little unsure what Zack was leaning toward because he didn't give him anything to go by, so as usual he was left in the dark.
Zach left the house to the shortcut from the east wing, he never cared for this long hallway. It was something left over from days gone by he considered tearing it down a many of times. But it was left over from the old days when it was call Spinelli's place, every time he talked about it the boys just cringed and so did Ben. He reached the other end connected to the center and the door was a little stuck because it hadn't been used in a long time.
Zach realized why the door was stuck, because somebody had placed a table in front of it. When Zach emerged on the other side there were a lot of shocked people. Most of the workers didn't even though it was still usable.
Zach close the door locked it back and proceeded to Lex's office, Zach walked on in as he saw Lex with his head down in paperwork.
Excuse me young man isn't it a little early for all this paperwork?
Not really grandfather, the results are still the same. Now how are you going to handle this may I ask?
Well Lex it's easy I'll go get the kids make sure that there decent dressed and I'll take them both back to the house through the tunnels. They're going to eat and I will call Zion's parents to come pick him up that just leaves me with Luna and what to do with her.
Yeah; about Luna, she really blossomed last night. We're going to have a problem, and the big thing is gonna hinge on how she handles herself around males.
I understand Lex, and that's the reason we're taken the tunnel to the house. The fewer the people that come in contact with her the better off she will be trying to adjust to her surroundings and her new body.
Yeah, it's the body that I'm worried about grandfather. Why don't you get Zion out first because he's ready to go? Let him take a seat and wait for you to ready Luna for her debut.
Sounds good Lex, bring the paperwork with you and will go check them both out of the center.
Zach and Lex went down to the transition area and went to the room that contained Zion. The young boy was now a full-grown man. He was 6 foot 5 and not an ounce of fat anywhere on him. It didn't hurt that he was very nice-looking. He was going to make some person very good mate whatever he chose to be.
Zion was a little unsure of his feet but mostly he was hungry.
Don't worry Zion were going back to the main house, Cook has a complete breakfast ready and you will sit there at the dining room table and eat your fill. Why don't you go and have a seat in the chair across the hallway and I will be there in a minute just as soon as I get the other party out of their room?
Okay Mr. Zach, but I sure could go for some of those wonderful cinnamon rolls I've been smelling for last two hours. I don't know who brought them to work with them this morning but whoever cooked those I could fall in love with him.
Zach and Lex just looked at each other as Lex handed his grandfather their files, cinnamon rolls what the hell is he talking about?
Zack knocked on the next door and asked Luna if she was decent for her trip to the main house.
Well, I guess I am Sir, this robe that you gave me it doesn't really cover up that much seems that I grew overnight. And I'm kinda sticking out everywhere.
When Zach got a look at Luna, he knew what she was talking about, she had gone from 5 foot 6 or so to her present height of 6 foot 2. Zach realized why there wasn't a planet of Genmen females, he was going to have to call Sonja and Luna would need to pay her a visit to get something that covered her properly. She was amply endowed top and bottom, front and back.
Luna was a little uncomfortable walking out of the room and just to robe, especially with the big genman sitting across the hall in the chair. All he was cute and tall, but she wasn't ready for no kind of nothing.
When Zion saw Luna he stood straight up, and he put his nose the air started to smelling.
Mr. Zach what the hell's wrong with him is he a special case maybe not so smart in the head or something?
Zack chuckled, I guess you don't remember him from last night.
Get the fuck outta here, you mean piano boy, that right there that big gorgeous Bastard is piano boy?
Zion cautiously stepped forward, so what I've been smelling. You smell fantastic, I don't mean to be rude or obnoxious but to me you smell like fresh pastries, pie, cinnamon rolls, cakes and everything all rolled into one.
Luna was lost she had no idea what Zion was talking about and began to smell herself. What you mean I smell like I just took a shower?
Zack interrupted; you to follow me keep your hands to yourselves and that means you Zion. As we walked back to the main house through the tunnel, I will explain to you; biology 101.
Zack went through the center to the tunnel, he let the kids in and locked the door behind them they were lost had no idea where they were.
Okay that stop right here before we go any farther. In the wonderful world of Genmen when you transition your nose becomes very acute to the smells of the pheromones of another person. You are attracted to some people because of the way they smell even though they don't know it. I can't say anything will become of it and I cannot say that there's nothing that will become of it.
Luna had a questionable look on her face, so you mean he can smell me? Piano boy thinks I'm a pastry to nibble on or something, because if he tries to bite me, I'm going to slap the hell out of him.
It's not quite that easy to explain Luna, when we are around someone that is compatible. A genman will pick up on the sent that we give off and either he's attracted to us or he's not. For instance, he may pass by a nice-looking Genmen and it'll set him off, it's up to them to get together to see who will carry and who will produce the child. Nothing here is forced we let nature take its way as much as possible.
So, you're telling me that piano boy is smelling me and he thinks of me as a subject for mating? I tell you right now a nobody touching this without my permission and nobody touching me at all.
I understand Luna you are a female and you choose your own mate when it's your time but that doesn't stop you from sending pheromones into the air attracting perspective mates. You just attracted Zion without him knowing why.
So, you mean my body is telling me that I need to try to get together with her so we can get our groove on.
Something like that Zion, but both of you have to be receptive. Now I will tell you one thing if another male Genmen or even a human comes up to her and attempts anything that you perceive as a threat to your mating ability with her, you will become aggressive toward him to fend off what your body feels should be your mate.
But right now, let's go to the main house and I'll leave you in the dining area so that the two of you can eat, visit and talk with Chasten. When the three of you are finished eating, I need all three of you to come to the reading area so that myself and Ben can talk to y'all.
Zach left the two young ones in the dining area with Chasten sitting at the table, Luna stood up and leaned over to grab a stack of pancakes when her robe showed little more of her anatomy than it should have, Zion dropped his fork.
Really piano boy, you act like you've never seen Tit before and your damn life.
No ma'am I have not and I'm so sorry for staring at yours but they're beautiful.
Within dammit stare away and Luna opened her robe and showed him everything she had.
A very embarrassed Zion covered his face and apologized once again.
Chasten could not let this go on anymore, Luna calm down please have little respect for the house. Mr. Zach and Mr. Ben have graciously put us up here at the Z1, Zion cannot help himself for something that comes natural to a male.
Then why the hell aren't you ogling them Chasten?
It could be because I'm not a genman. I human but yet I have a mate and I'm not attracted to the female form in any species.
Well, isn't that just my damn luck, hell you're acting more like my brother than a male.
That would be the day remarked Chasten. Let's eat so we can figure out what Mr. Zach wants to tell us.
The three of them ended up consuming four helpings of pancakes each plus the meats there were also available. Chasten looked at the other two, okay get this over with. They all got up and walked to the reading room where Ben and Zach were waiting along with young Sebastian.
Zach told each one of the young ones to have a seat and he would tell them why they were there.
Zion you have expressed your interest in Luna, she's made it abundantly clear that right now is not the time for your interest to be fulfilled. I don't mind you to hang out and becoming friends because everyone needs friends. Luna is going to need some people around her that feel protective of her. Now I don't have any doubt that she cannot protect yourself but if you see her getting into trouble help her out.
Now that being said; Chasten and Luna you to get along very well and there's no doubt that you will not become great friends but nothing else will ever become of it. I'm here to answer some of your questions, every new arrival has to have genetic and DNA testing done. Chasten we know who your dad is who your father is we have no idea, and you know that you have to have siblings and they live here on the Z1. Now you do have another sibling that we don't know where is at. Your other sibling is nine months older than you.
Now that brings us to Luna, we found out some disturbing information from your DNA. It was tested before and after your change. The results still turned out the same, you have a sibling here on the Z1.
Now there's something else that I need to tell you, your life has been a series of lies. Your father is 100% human. But it's your other parent that is even more unsettling and might even be disturbing to you.
What you mean my father is human? You might want to go check your results again because there's no way possible.
Luna, you were brought up in a caretaker's home. You have a younger sibling, and it's a male.
Mr. Zack you have something wrong my mother had two girls and she's never had another child.
Luna, I hate to tell you, your mother has never had any children. In fact, she's not your mother at all she is a caretaker. Read these papers your DNA results do not lie. Look them over and I can explain anything you need to know.
Mr. Zack what is all these lines of what are all these results I don't understand them?
Okay the first genetic markers on the left-hand side of the page are your biological father's and underneath it will say results are conclusive DNA match human. The markers on the right-hand side on the graft they are your other parents' DNA markers. I want you to carefully read it.
It says a 50-50 split AEH -- Goran, one sibling match. What the fuck is that?
All in due time. Chasten look at your results how do they read?
Father DNA match human, birthing parent AEH -- Goran, one sibling match.
Luna what does it say at the top of your results?
Subject -- A
Chasten what is your say?
Subject -- B
Here's a piece of paper that I would like for you both to look at and at the bottom you will find the results.
Chasten started reading it; the aforementioned subjects are found to be 100% birth siblings.
Mr. Zack, what the hell you saying here? What is all this mean?
Simply put kids, the reason that you got along so well is because you are brother and sister. You have the same exact parents. You have a father who was human and a dad who birthed you both nine months apart who is old earth human and Goran.
Luna looked to Chasten; you mean he is my brother? We have the same parents, how the hell does this happen how am I born female?
Zach started out; Luna you are nine months older than Chasten so you're his big sister. Undoubtedly where ever Stephen was being held at by the corporate monsters you are the first breeding and he was something different he was something new that they had never gotten their hands on to. He produced a female in an inner species breeding, the second time around he produced your brother than he escaped from the corporate center.
He didn't even know that he had birthed any children due to the drugs he was given, he found out about it later through physical exams that he had children out there. We never quit looking but they had you two so hit out that it was by a sheer miracle you two found each other. Luna the reason that you don't have any attraction to your brother is because he is your brother same way you didn't have an attraction to Madison because he is your first cousin. That is your genetics working for you.
Your grandfather is old earth human, he is born of the old earth. Your granddad was of royal lineage to the ancient Goran line. That's the reason you were so important to them. They wanted to see if you could be bred back to a genman and produce another female with the Goran bloodlines.
So, you're telling me that my sister was just a test case like I was, she was a female Genmen and nothing else she wasn't even my sister.
Precisely and I fear that they would've started to using you for gene splicing therapy so that they could duplicate your genetics had they been able to maintain custody of you. But you two had other plans, two siblings put their heads together and got fuck out of there. Sorry about the colorful language but I figured you could understand that Luna, since you speak very colorful.
Didn't you ever stop and think why Sebastian didn't feel threatened by you, he is part Goran and he can feel it within you.
Mr. Zack I'm still having problems understanding everything. Chasten and I were both birthed by a male Genmen that was being used for medical and breeding experiments? And since I was born female by this strange male that resembled a genman they try to do it again and they got a different result?
Yes, that's exactly what happened Luna, and you need to know that your dad doesn't know about you other than he's checked for DNA markers every month since he found out that he had two children that were lost. Lex goes over the results every month and double checks and Stephen shows up just to see if anyone matched that month.
No one ever thought anything about a female child carrying the same DNA because we were just looking for a child any child in fact.
You need time to process this in fact both of you to need time to process the findings one on you to and Zion go to the library and he can play something on the piano maybe this would help relax you both. Ben and I will take care of Sebastian while we wait on Stephen and Earl to arrive here at the house. I called Madison and asked him to bring his dad and his uncle we had discovered some more news.
Zach hope you know what you're doing remarked Ben. Because this is something that the Z1 has never had to deal with before. But putting families back together especially a family like this is very important for every one of us.
Ben, I agree with you but I just don't know how Stephen is going to take this, he saw Luna and he didn't react around her there wasn't even any questions about her?
As Ben and Zach spoke getting ready to talk with Stephen, Franklin and Micki showed up at the door.
I hate to disturb you Mr. Zach but how is Zion doing this morning?
About that time the music started to play.
Does that answer your questions Micki, listen to the passion of the music as he's playing it? It's almost as he's trying to prove that he's even better than he was which he definitely is if that were possible.
I'm sorry Mr. Zach is just with Zion and Rico both I the house it feels empty almost, I'm sorry that I'm such a worry wart. Franklin got on to me about my attitude the way I act when it comes to the children but they're all I have.
You two need to sit down we need to talk about Zion.
Franklin and Micki took a seat and waited patiently.
Zion is not a little boy anymore, he's grown-up into a fine young man. The young man who will take a mate of his choice and produce a child with them.
Are you saying Mr. Zach that Zion has already found a possible mate? That's kinda quick isn't it, he just transitioned last night?
I'm not saying there's any children coming along right away, but you two need to prepare yourself for what you're going to find out. He has smelled out his mate and he is made his intentions known to the mate, when they're ready to carry he wants to conceive a child with them. The mate in question is a little apprehensive because of having never bore a child, getting pregnant is the last thing on their mind.
Zion has said; he will wait until they are ready so you need to understand don't get in the middle of them because you will in the losing. Now if you want to go to the private library where he is playing keep an open mind and a civil tongue in your mouth in this house, you will see his future.
Luna's apprehension was melted away the moment Zion started to play, she sat down beside him on the bench and watched him masterfully play music of the old Masters. Unconsciously she leaned her head over on his shoulder as she sat beside him and gently wrapped her arm around his waist.
Chasten sensed that this was destiny, not only had he found his sister is only pure sibling but it looks like he might've found a brother-in-law also.
The serenity was shattered when Micki suddenly blurted out; get away from my son you fucking bitch.
It took less than ½ a second for Zion to spring to his feet and stand between his dad and Luna who set on the piano bench.
With fire in his eyes Zion lit into his dad. You will show respect to Luna dad, you will never talk to her in such a manner again.
Micki recoiled almost in fear at the booming authority of his son's voice as he warned him about the female that set beside him.
You will not talk to me that way boy; I am your dad.
I am not a boy, I am a full-grown man, capable of making my own choices in life. You will show Luna the respect that she deserves as my chosen one. When the time is right and she agrees we will start a family, you will show her respect.
Franklin walked in between his mate and their son facing his mate. Micki; Zion is correct he is no longer a boy; he is a man and he has chosen his prospective mate. The two of you can agree or disagree, like it or not that's on you. But we will show him respect for whom he has chosen to be in his life.
Zach walked in to hear the heated exchange between the three, and decided it was time that everyone knew exactly what was going on.
Franklin, please take a seat on the sofa along with Micki. I need to discuss something and explain everything to you before things get out of control and words are said that can never be taken back.
Luna is not what she appears yes, she's female but she's not genman. She is just like her younger sibling. She is the product of a forced breeding; her father was human but instead of the mother like other female Genmen's have, she was bore by a male. Her dad is of ancient Earth human and royal Goran DNA. How this happened we don't know, but she is not what she appears.
Chasten is her full biological brother, she is older than him by nine months. Until now they were both lost, but today she will be reunited with her birthing dad.
I was there this morning when I removed Zion from his transition room, the pull was so strong that he could smell her through the walls and around the doors. This is bigger than any of us, I'm not standing in their way and neither will either of you.
Franklin, I know that you had a reaction to her touch prior to her transitioning but it should be different now. Micki; you're just going to have to learn how to get over yourself and live with it. It's going to happen whether you like it or not, so you better make your peace or you will come out on the losing end. When the two of them start having babies, they're going to be beautiful it would be a shame to miss out on their lives.
Excuse me Mr. Zach, I'm not worth the trouble that I would cause for Zion. He has a crazy notion that we're intended for each other, he's very handsome that I cannot deny. But if this is going to cause problems within his family, I wish I'd never been found, much less met Zion.
I just feel blessed being here with him as he plays with such precision and elegance. He has a talent that is worthy of being shared with all on the planet.
Luna, I appreciate your honesty but young lady I've been doing this a many year, and if anyone is meant to be together it's the two of you. Will it please everyone, no it will not but guess what is not about everyone else it's about the two of you.
Zion; would you please play something that explains to your parents the way that you feel about her and what she means to you and your future.
Zion went to the piano and took a seat, and proceeded to play the most beautiful haunting melody that anyone had heard him play before. It wasn't something that anyone else knew, because this was all Zions.
As the music played it brought a calm over Micki and for the first time in his life, he truly saw his son for the talented artists that he really was. Maybe she did bring out the best in him.
When it was over suddenly someone at the doorway started to clap. Phyllis Moreself was standing there giving thanks to the young man that had just played the most wonderful tune that she had ever heard.
Wow, Phyllis there's a lot more to you than there was a few weeks ago.
Phyllis rubbed her now expanding waistline, yes Zach I'm sorry about dropping in like this but I had an appointment today with Caleb and Rupert for a checkup. And I thought I would stop by the house, since no one answered the door because everyone is obviously busy here and I can see why. Young man you have changed, and your music is even better than it's ever been before.
I've never heard that song before can you tell me who the composer was by chance?
Yes Mrs. Moreself, I wrote that and I'm dedicating it to someone that's very special to me. I'm thinking about calling it "Luna's Heart".
Zion that is a beautiful name for it and if it's okay after I have my point and I get checked out can we sit down and talk. I would love to take you back to the city and introduce you to the correct people so that everyone can hear you play. Especially this song here, young man you're going to go far in the industry. I can make sure that your best interest is watched after, after all who would ideas a friend if I let someone take advantage of you. Now can you introduce me to a few of these people here I seem not to know everybody?
Zion got up and pointed to his parents and introduced them to Sen. Moreself's wife Phyllis, he also told her of his new friend Chasten. But someone he was prouder of than anyone else was his future mate Luna, who the song is dedicated to.
Phyllis walked up to Luna and stuck out her hand, young lady I am very glad to meet you and I am so proud that a young man like Zion was fortunate enough to meet someone as special as you and have in his life. Don't worry about anything when it comes to Zion, because when he leaves the ranch you will accompany him with me. Can't keep you starstruck crazy kids away from each other. I know once I met my Ralph, I never left his side on the campaign trails. Anytime there's a public event, Phyllis is right there protecting her man.
You got some strange groupies out there, the moment they catch a glimpse of young Zion, honey you're going to have to beat them off with a shovel. And prove to them, he is spoken for.
Luna was thoroughly embarrassed; all she could do was smile and say thank you. This human woman was clearly someone to be reckoned with, she was going be a great ally.
Zack smiled at Phyllis, when is your appointment at the clinic?
Oh boy I'm running late I gotta go, tell you what after I get through, I'll bring the new scans by, sit down have a cup of tea. And listen to Zion if he would like to play me another bout of music. Then I have to get back to the city, a politician's wife's work is never done, always some new thing to go see, some new place we have to dedicate. But after the baby comes along, we are going to slow it down and raise this child right.
Well now that we got that out of the way, Luna it's time for you and Chasten face your dad. His adoptive father is going to come by today but doesn't know that Chasten is here. I think it would be great if you supported your brother. Plus, with all the drama going on we need some side interference.
Zion if you would like to be there to support Luna it would be great.
Jarvis walked into the room, begging your pardon's Mr. Zach. Ms. Torres of the GBI is here to speak to you concerning a very important matter may I show her in Sir?
By all means Jarvis show
Angela in so that we may talk were all family here so it's not a problem.
Agent Torres came walking in carrying two infant carriers. Mr. Zach, I hate to disturb you during this conversation but I have a problem. We made a raid on the encampment where Chasten and Luna were being held the place was abandoned except these two young ones that were left behind.
Zach walked over to where Angela was standing and lifted the blanket that covered the infant's head. Newborns, you mean they left behind newborns? Who in the hell would leave behind newborns?
Sir we didn't exactly find them, at least not right away these two were located in a shed area behind the main compound. They had been placed into a box for final dispatch. We found other such boxes as we searched areas behind the shed. We estimate they are 36 hours old and other than neutralized nectar they have not had anything for nourishment.
Being the caring person that Micki was he walked over to Angela and asked could he possibly look at the infants?
Yes Sir, just let you know there's twins, identical twin boys.
Micki couldn't get over how beautiful the little boys were, what were they placed in a box and left behind for?
Angela looked down, Mr. Zach I'm just glad we got there we did. I could tell you more but not in the setting. The boys need a family that will keep them together and since this is the Z1 this is the only place I know to bring them.
Luna spoke up; I heard rumors and talk behind the old hag's back. When the child is born if it was female it would be sent to a caretaker, boys on the other hand they were always told that there was something wrong in the child did make it. Now I know why the boys didn't make it.
Micki suddenly realized what Angela meant by they had been placed in a box for dispatch. Do they have names as of yet?
No ma'am they have not been named because the director didn't want anyone to form an attachment to them.
Micki looked at Franklin he knew what that look meant, and he nodded his approval.
Mr. Zack I am requesting that Franklin and myself be considered as possible candidates to be caretakers or adoptive parents for these boys. We have enough room in with people gone and leaving so much our house will soon be empty. We had four boys of our own and since the last one there's no more, try as we may there's just no kids anymore.
Zach grinned; so, let me get this right you have space in your heart and in your home, you're willing to take these two boys in and raise them as your own?
Yes sir Mr. Zach, these two beautiful young men will grow up strong and will never know any kind of disparity. I'm sure that their older brothers will accept the as their own or I will stomp a mudhole in their asses.
Okay Franklin, Micki you've got the job as parents to a pair of twins just one thing that you need to consider.
Yes Sir, what would that be?
A couple of names would help.
Franklin looked at Micki, what you think about Dani for one and Scott for the other young man.
That sounds wonderful to me, and I know exactly who is who. Dani has a little red spot on his right cheek at the upper portion, Scott does not.
Zach could see the little red spot which was a small birthmark on his cheek.
Besides a dad knows how to tell his children apart. They may can fool others but a dad knows who is who.
Luna, I need to apologize to you, I did a grave injustice to you and for that I am truly sorry. If my son finds happiness with you, whom I to stand in his way or even your way. You were brought here for a reason, without you and your brother escaping and finding your way here these little boys would've never been found. They would've ended in a box no names and no markers. I have you to thank for our two new sons, I just hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.
Don't worry about it, I guess some things in life are meant to be in these boys here are meant to be in your family whatever the circumstances are I know they will be loved by you and Franklin.
Angela took a deep breath, well that was easier than I thought it was going to be. I would've taken a myself but with two boys already in the house they keep me busy with a full-time job. I find myself in the morning time waiting for the alarm to go off so I can head to work and get some rest. Sir I'm sorry that I have to drop the kids and run but I need back the office there is so much paperwork to do.
Thank you very much Angela, you can rest assured that these two young lads are in perfect capable hands. Plus, with the extended family there's plenty of love to go around.
Franklin and Micki set there on the sofa and bonded with the newest additions to their family. Jarvis walked up and congratulated his grandson and his mate for their choice in giving these two fine young lads a home to call their own.
As Angela was leaving out the front door Stephen, Clark and Earl walked in and headed directly to the reading room. There they walked in on an impromptu family celebration going on.
Mr. Zack, I believe that you called for us according to Madison responded Clark.
Come on in Clark and you three have a seat, we need to talk and go over something that affects you Stephen, Earl and the whole family. Madison, take a seat beside Luna your part of this also.
As set down beside Luna and didn't think anything about it, he didn't feel threatened by her anything even if she was a female.
Stephen do you see anything unusual?
Mr. Zack, I don't know what you're talking about what do you mean unusual?
Do you not find it peculiar that Chasten and Madison have no apprehension to sitting beside Luna a female?
When you come to talk about it yes, normally female Genmen would never allow a male to sit anywhere near her, what's going on here?
Well, I need to look at some test results I have three sets of paperwork, one is Chasten the other one is you and then there's an extra one you need to compare these with Clark and tell me what you see.
Clark and Stephen looked over the paperwork, after a couple of minutes Stephen looked at Zack.
Subject A and Chastens paperwork or the same, and they both match up to me as the birthing parent they also show the same father in both subjects. Are you trying to tell me somehow you found my other son?
I'm sorry Stephen we did not find your other son, Clark; take a look at the genetic coding on the bottom and explain it to Stephen so that he can understand it.
Subject A says female Mr. Zach. What does this mean? Even I don't follow these results.
Well, it means just what it says. Subject A in subject B are biological siblings. Subject B is male and subject A who is older is female.
The three adults set there with blank looks on their faces. Madison started to laugh.
Okay Mr. Madison would you care to explain this to your dad and your uncle what these results mean. Since you obviously have a clue.
Yes, Sir I would be privileged to do such. Uncle Stephen, the reason I'm sitting here without any objection is Luna is not a genman female. So that means she has to be Goran. Do you realize what that means?
Suddenly tears started streaming down Stephen's face, you mean the first child that I had was a female and they allowed me to be bred back with the same male again in hopes that they could repeat the anomaly and produce another one? But when he was born male, they sent him away maybe for further experimentation to see if he could produce a female heir?
In the reason that Luna and the boys can sit beside each other and not have a pheromonal conflict is because they carry the same genetic codes. They are half human from this planet and the other half is ancient Earth human and royal Goran. That would make her a royal Goran female, something that dad said had not happened in centuries as Earl has told me.
Stephen stood up and walked over to where Luna was sitting, I know I have no right but may I hold my daughter for the first time in my life. Something that we were denied when you were born.
Apprehensively Luna stood up and allowed her dad to hold her for the first time. Suddenly there was feelings of calm within her. Chasten stood up and they both embraced their dad. They had finally found their place, found their family.
Ben set there crying as he rocked Sebastian.
Clark walked over to the kids who were standing there with their dad. I know that I'm not your father but as long as your part of this family you're going to be part of my life. So, for better or worse were all stuck together, besides your dad could use the help babysitting the boys they are a handful.
Chasten kinda felt bad, the man that cared for him his entire life wasn't any kin to him at all but he still felt close to him. He asked Stephen if it was all right that he still keep in contact with the man that raised him the best he could when the so-called mother allowed.
Chasten, let me tell you one thing, it's gonna take a lot for some of the pain and some of the hurt to go away. But he does love you because you were his little boy for years. And I'm afraid without him you would have not lasted. So yes, you can still keep in contact with your father that raised you. Look at the doorway somebody's come to see you, go to him set with him and talk. Take it one step at a time do not walk him out of your life. You are better than that because you have a better heart that no one could break.
Chasten went to the door and embraced his father, the two went out to the front foyer to set and talk. After a while Chasten come back in and took a seat near his cousin.
Is everything squared Chasten inquired Madison?
It will take time but it's okay, he told me to get to know my dad and my sister and he would drop by from time to time to check on me and Sebastian since were the only family that he has.
Honestly it sounds like he's a very straight up person and he loves you Chasten, you're very lucky.
The twins were getting a little fussy, Franklin and Micki took the boys and went home. They thanked Mr. Zach and Mr. Ben for everything. Micki wished his son well in any decision that he made.
Phyllis stopped by the manor house before she returned to the city and showed everyone how well her little boy was developing and would be here before anyone realized. Zion I'll be getting back with you very shortly, I would like for you to play for private dinner party for the Sen. and myself. I plan on introducing you to the world, you are going to put the music scene on their proverbial overstuffed asses. So, until we see each other again Luna; take care this young man and watch after his hands, and his heart.
Stephen looked at his daughter; young lady is there something that we need to talk about possibly?
I'm okay right now dad, but if you don't mind, I am going to need a place to stay for a little bit until I get my life sorted out. You think possibly I might stay with you and father Clark?
Sure, will shut to move your brothers in the same room together let them fight all night long but, that's what siblings do. Maybe you can play referee for a while. We were going to get together at this afternoon and introduce them to Chasten, why not introduce him to both of their older siblings at the same time. Talk about blowing their little minds, it'll definitely set them on their butts.
Well, that's even going to be better you can introduce into their nephew, Stephen it's about time that they knew that their family was growing and Sebastian will be proof of it. Besides I'm exhausted and I need to rest before I have to teach class tonight. Luna, you and Zion both need to attend class, it's at 7 o'clock I can't wait to the class gets a load of you.
Dad if you don't mind, can Luna and I wait a couple of days before we meet everyone. I mean you and uncle Earl are great and I know that you're excited to get the family to know both of us. But Luna his just went through a lot, I'm still trying to get comfortable with being a father myself. I don't mind you telling them but let's hold off before we formally meet them so that they can get used to the idea.
Chasten you know what, I do believe you're right and your dad needs to slow down. He's just very excited about having his children back in his life that he doesn't always think clearly and runs off head first. I know I the stepfather but I understand where you're coming from. The family can be a little bit much to take on all at one time.
Thank you very much Clark I appreciate everything. When Luna and I are both ready to take that plunge into the quite large family that we never knew I hope that your there with us. But for right now Madison's helping a lot. When he's not off working for Mr. Zack. Benjamin is great and getting to know that part of my family one person at a time has helped me get used to them, Luna's gonna need a lot more time.
Okay little brother, I am not a delicate flower I will wilt at the first sign of anything.
No, you're more like a dried arid cactus thorn that when someone gets too close you might very well stick him.
Chasten I love you too little brother, but you're quite right I have a tendency to be a little bit abrasive. So, Clark you can see where I might want to take time and ease into this myself please help dad understand. It's not that I don't want to meet my family, a family I didn't know about till a few hours ago. But with the kind of upbringing, I had, being stuck in a confined area with a lot of people I'm not comfortable with not yet.
Besides I need to get to know my nephew, and a few other things around the Z1 so that I'm comfortable being here.
Stephen stood up and walked over to his daughter and kneeled down in front of her. Luna you and your brother take as much time as you need, I'm sorry that I was rushing things but with me I never thought it would ever come true. You're not little children, but you are my children and what can I say I'm an overprotective dad who's proud that his children have found their way home.
Ben excused himself from the little family-style meeting that was going on and retired upstairs so that he could get some rest. Besides it was Sebastian's naptime also, and that's one thing with a genman child or yet any baby, you want to stick to a routine.
Mr. Zach's communicator beeped, he looked down and noticed on the readout it said Jordan Reeves.
Hello Jordan how you doing today? Whereabouts, are you?
Mr. Zack I'm coming into the Township and I'll be out there in a little bit at the Z1. I need somewhere that I can get away from everything. After everything that happened at the spaceport docking center, I just need some quiet I would definitely like to talk to you and relax if Zion might be available to play for little while.
Well, I don't know about that but, I'll just talk to him and see if he's still in the mood. A lot of things have been happening here on the Z1 also. But you know me and Zion we get along really well, I think I can work my magic for you.
Mr. Zack you are full of it and you know what, I'll see y'all out there in a few.
Zion and Madison were hanging on every word trying to figure out what was going on while Zach was on the communicator.
Zack turned and looked at the two of them, he's on his way be here little bit, Zion he is requesting if you're available could you please play a little music. You know how it relaxes everybody plus he's been through a lot.
Luna and Chasten were at a loss to what was being said and what he went on.
Chasten just flat-out asked Mr. Zach what was going on?
While you two were out at that farm with no communications or maybe you did, I don't know see anything that was going on at the spaceport?
Something happened somewhere that's what set off the head caretaker out at the farm we weren't privy to everything because we had to stay out of contact.
Well let's just say something major happened at the spaceport in the docking area, one of our associates that comes here was part of it. He is coming here shortly to the main house and will be talking about it you might find everything very interesting. I suggest that everyone stay put here that wants to that way we can listen to Jordan. He needs to rest after what is been through but still, seeing friendly faces around here that should help a lot.
Madison you definitely stick around, you know more than anybody. Because you have met someone just like that before in your lifetime.
Yes, Mr. Zach that's one day I will never forget, neither with my family.
Coming Soon P -- 69
