The Z-1 Ranch

The Z-1 Ranch P-94 CGW©

Everything was going good; Tim kept his parents advised on everything that had been happening at the Z1 while they were gone. Zach and Ben were very proud of their two boys the place could not have been in better hands.

Tim and Luther were in the office when Tim asked if they had heard from Ranger lately? He had missed his last two allotments of supplies and they were waiting for him at the warehouse. It took a lot for Ranger to come in because it was so far back and he walked most of the way. Going back was easy because someone always returned him home, you know common courtesy plus it gave Ranger a little bit of human companionship to talk with and an overnight guest.

Luther if you can handle the office for a few days here at the ranch I am going to the back, number one I need to see what's wrong with the communications again on the booster it's probably Racknars chewing through everything. I can catch up with Ranger and make sure that he is okay and see when is next time comes around so that if he wishes to carry again, he's more than welcome to use the services at the conception center.

No problem, Tim I still don't get why Ranger hasn't settled yet? He's carried five times for others and always return the children as soon as they were born to the father or parents. I know he wishes to do everyone a good service but sometimes you need to think of yourself.

You're so right Luther and I'm going to have a talk with him, thought I might carry Jonathan with me to show him a little bit of the backside of the ranch. It might trigger some of his memories of his home beforehand.

Okay little brother, pack you some bags and some extra provisions, I'm sure you can find something a little extra special to take to Ranger maybe a few fresh star birds in a cage?

Sounds great Luther I'll stop by the hatcheries after I pick up Jonathan for the trip.

Jonathan was overjoyed when he heard Tim's plan, he didn't mind the Z1 but it was a little crowded and with constant visitors he didn't get much downtime.

Augustus was a little sad to see Jonathan go with him but he understood that men needed time away, besides he was going to be busy in a few days himself with transition.

Benjamin made sure that Tim's pack was full of all the necessities and the luxuries, he had made a new blanket for Ranger since way in the back it tended to get worse whether than around the front side of the mountain range. He kissed him and wished him well then, he hugged Jonathan and told him to have a nice trip for the two of them.

Jonathan was embarrassed but assured Benjamin that he would watch after Tim on the trip.

Tim and Jonathan left with all the supplies on board plus repair items for the boosters because Tim was sure that the Racknars chewed through the cables again. It was a long tedious trip with Tim making calls back to Robbie telling him of places in the roadway that had washed away during the last storms, no wonder Ranger had not been to the main ranch to collect supplies.

After several hours they finally pulled up to the house, it was severely unkept. All the time that Ranger had lived out here he had never let it get this bad it almost looked like he had been outside. Tim looked over at Jonathan who was at a loss for words, well let's go see if he's alive, I don't like what I see right now at all.

Tim and Jonathan approached the house and the door he eased open, that's far enough I don't think you need to come any further, who are you and what are you doing here?

Ranger is that any way to welcome anyone to your house? As far as this guy he's with me this is Jonathan what that hell is up with you?

A timid Ranger's stuck his head through the crack of the door, I'm so glad that it's you Mr. Tim. I've been having some problems back here and afraid to come out, not that I'm in much shape but you will see that in a minute please come on in.

As soon as Tim walked the door, he knew exactly what Ranger meant, he was swelled up bigger than he had ever seen him before and any of his previous pregnancies. Wait a minute what the hell are you doing pregnant, you haven't used the services at the conception center registered?

Forgive me Mr. Tim, this is not authorized and his father was supposed to be back before now unless he was caught by raiders.

Let's have a seat, Ranger you have a hell of a lot of explaining to do why in the hell did you let yourself get like this and not request help?

The tower is down, Racknars chewed through the cables and knocked out the booster. Like I said Graham supposed to be back three weeks ago he told me he would not miss the birth of his first one unless raiders captured him.

Okay first of all who is Graham how did the two of you meet and why don't I know him from the program?

He's not part of the program, one day I was out taking care of the yard cleaning everything up getting ready for my full-cycle to start which was just beginning when this beautiful man walked up actually, he drove up on Wheeler. I didn't run I wasn't scared; he was filthy with dirt and asked if he could clean up prior to introductions.

I showed him where the hose was and he was not shy one bit and began to rinse himself clean removing all of his articles of clothing. He was the biggest anything I had ever seen before and he was so kind.

He introduced himself to me nothing covering him, he said he was there to take care of me in my time of need for it was his also. I don't know why but I let them into the house into my bed, we made passionate love for three days. I knew when it first happened the rest of it was just to feel good. He told me all about himself or he was from, actually where he had escaped from and that he could not stay long because raiders could catch up with him at any time.

Graham has come by as often as possible to check on me and the status of our child. He is like no other I have met before. He has ice blue eyes and hair so pale that it's impossible to describe. He has a light skin tone and he is massive 6-foot 7and built like no other who has lain with me before to produce a child.

The entire time Ranger was describing Graham he was rubbing his abdomen to quiet the child who was very active because it was near his time to be birthed.

Tim listened to Ranger about the father of the child and what he had went through before he escaped. He wanted to meet Graham to assure him that on the Z1 he would be safe anyone and anything.

Jonathan could not get the image out of his head that Ranger had professed. The man almost sounded like he was an albino, something that occurs naturally due to a genetic fault and nothing that can be passed on to an offspring. He conveyed his suspicions to Ranger and Tim both, maybe these people that had him didn't know different and felt that he was the next step in the evolution of Genmen instead of a simple anomaly.

Tim concurred with Jonathan's assumptions and asked Ranger how did Graham get his Wheeler into the Z1 since the perimeter was protected by the fencing?

The back section is down sir, the rackknars tore through it again Graham patched a place so that the sensors would be on in case someone tried to come through.

Well, if he shows up, I don't want to scare him off, I'm going to move my speeder to the side and cover it with a camouflage tarp so that it's hidden until your right up on it. But first we have supplies for you and I brought some things in case you were in the way that you are.

Ranger giggled; I never could fool you could I, the one Genmen I would've loved to carried for and kept the child but it wasn't meant to be no matter how many times I scented you, it never worked.

Oh, I knew it and you almost drove me crazy several times but I am committed, plus the child wouldn't be able to stay on the Z1 because of our rules But I appreciate the offer. I suppose he's pure blood, you've only gave birth to Hybrids before so this little boy is going to stretch you like you have never been stretched before. And we are not going anywhere until he arrives.

Mr. Tim, I appreciate the offer but I can do okay. I'm sure that Graham just got tied up, I don't think it's anything too bad.

Okay Madison talk, to me what the hell is going on with you? You don't think I've noticed you in the last few weeks and what you been up to, let it out.

Benjamin not sure if you understand, I'm not Genmen I'm human and Goran we don't have the exact same chemical reactions around others like Genmen do.

Okay my mate Enlighten me we've got children and we got a healthy sex life; you want to tell me what's missing?

All Goran males must carry once in their lifetime even exclusive breeders are mandated to carry when they meet someone that they're compatible with or it will drive them out of their mind.

Okay I give up, who is Tim you and him a been spending a lot of time together don't tell me he's the one that you're going to let on top he you.

Mr. Tim are you kidding no way, he scares me when he's too close to me much less getting up on top of me he would spread my vent to wide.

Well then who is it, I don't see you two hanging around anybody else too much. You do your duties you do your jobs and you come home to me and the children, what the fuck is up?

It's Jonathan, every time he gets too close to me, he sets me off, when he touches me even by accident, he makes me vent myself.

Benjamin busted out laughing, you mean the human, Jonathan makes you flood if he touches you, what would you do if you he grabbed you and wrapped his arms around you.

What my shield couldn't handle would be very evident, it would be so embarrassing like it was the first time it happened.

So that's what's been happening to my extra shields, I thought it was the kids playing with them again making boats in the bathtub, you have been having to wear my shields?

Yes, Benjamin I have had to borrow your shields just in case he gets too close, if we accidentally touch sometimes, they're not enough and I leak.

It's not something that I think about doing, in fact I wish I didn't have to but it happens in a Goran's lifetime. Some never find their mates and they are safe others meet up they're thrusted each other's life and its misery until it happens.

Well; let's get you bred; I can't wait to you see you sticking out all in front waddling. Mr. Zach is going to have a field day knowing that his precious Madison has gotten knocked up by a human no less, a 478-year-old human at that.

I think it's adorable, Jonathan can come visit you, and comfort the child and I will raise and feed him because let's face it your glands don't produce for squat and I have plenty. And I can give my body a rest knowing the next one will be birthed by you. I am so excited I can't wait till I can tell my father the good news, and your dad what will your dad think, what about both of your parents to see their Madison, their perfect Madison waddling with the baby on board.

You don't have to be so joyful about it, I've never thought about letting a male placing himself there and filling me with his seeds.

Don't worry it's just like a balloon one little prick and it's gone forever. You won't have to worry about anything since your genetics will be taking over. One-time breeding and it's over, you won't lust after him and he won't lust after you, your bodies need will be full field and we have a new child. Benjamin leaned over and kissed Madison and patted his stomach, I can't wait until our next child is here.

Madison gruffly pulled his arm back; you would just love to see me all stretched out of shape.

Come on Madison; I think it's adorable I really am excited about you having the chance to bring forth life. He will be more human than Goran that's for sure. Plus, it will bring new bloodlines.

Are you really okay with this Benjamin? The idea of anything getting near my vent scares the hell out of me. Much less trying to push it out that's gonna hurt like hell.

It will be a pain, yes only if you let it be but if you use the birthing chair at the center it won't be no problem. Plus, I get to raise him; I get to raise a new son. I can't wait to tell your parents about this news but what if the new human doesn't want to impregnate you then what?

I guess I'll flood every time we see each other or when he touches me until he finally relinquishes pride and beds me properly.

Ranger we have the rest of the supplies all inside and packed away for you, I took a chance and brought a few boxes of diapers just in case what I had suspicions was correct and I am glad I did so.

Thank you, Mr. Tim you have been too nice to me. You know about my hang-ups about big crowds and all of the stuff that goes along with and you let me come back here and be peaceful. And how do I repay that, I let a stranger to the Z1 put his child inside of me.

Not I'm not going apologize for it, because Graham is so sweet and so tender when he interacts with me on his visits. He won't break loose and tell me everything because something's or even too painful for him to remember, but I can tell you right now he is the best lover that I have ever had, to touch me.

Great; now we just have to wait on Graham to show up, and we can smooth things out and patch the hole in the back after he shows us where it's at. I can have Robbie and the crew down here within a days-time to fix that permanently. It's not that were locking him in, he'll just have to use the main exit and entrance to come see you no more sneaking through the back. And if those so-called raiders want to try something we will meet them full force Z1 style.

Jonathan spoke up and asked the question; have you and Graham thought about a name for the little boy that you will soon share together?

Ranger smiled; Braylee is his name that we picked out together. It took us a while to agree but I believe it's a strong name and he is going to be one strong little boy.

The three had set around all afternoon making small talk as the suns began to set once again. There were three rapid knocks at the door followed by two slow ones. Ranger smiled, he's here, he walked the door and spoke L.U.L. a key slid into the lock and it began to rotate.

Tim and Jonathan both held their silence.

The door opened rapidly and was slammed and locked behind him, Graham took his overcoat, goggles and helmet off.

He was a sight to see, filthy with dirt but all smiles once he saw Ranger in his most delicate condition. Baby I'm so sorry, I had to evade the Raiders twice and sneak into the back. It's not safe for me to sneak in, we have to find another way. I will not chance the safety of you or the baby.

Tim cleared his throat and said you don't have to.

A startled Graham turned around and reached for a knife which he wore on his side.

There's no need for that Graham, we are all friends here on the Z1. Your mere actions tell me more about your character and your willingness to protect those who you love. Let me introduce myself to you; my name is Tim Spinelli my parents own the Z1 ranch. Here we live is one big family always looking out for each other. When Ranger did not come in for his weekly allotments for the last two times, I knew something was up and came to check.

After you clean yourself and get some food in your belly, we can all sit down and talk. It seems that this might be overdue but if Ranger says that you're a good person and you treat him correctly, I will have to take his word for it.

Ranger helped settle Graham and took him to the master bedroom and bath so that he could clean up and redress in clothing that was more suited for the occasion.

Jonathan and Tim sat drinking tea and making small talk as the big man got himself in a more presentable fashion.

Jonathan spoke to Ranger; you know it's so quiet out here it reminds me a lot of where I was brought up on earth. Nearest neighbor was 5 miles away, towns were even further it's just so relaxing here. Now don't get me wrong the Z1 ranch itself is wonderful but crammed up underneath everybody even though there is space, this is so much more relaxing.

Graham chuckled when he came in to the room listening to Jonathan speak; you won't think it's so quiet when the Racknars start coming around yapping and there's even a few that will chew the tires off of the Wheeler, so if you don't mind, I need to put my unit in the lockup and Whatever you're driving it needs to be locked up tonight too, so that they don't chew the wiring, the fenders or even the tires and wheels off of it.

Yes, remarked Tim I guess that's the next thing on the agenda, it'll give us a minute to talk outside Graham, we can leave the two here to get to know each other.

Roderigo was setting at his desk getting ready to close out the books for the day and Ty was signing off when he heard water dripping. Roderigo are you okay over there?

Sure, I'm fine just finishing up for the day why you ask?

I think we might need to get you to the clinic and call Stefano, I believe your water broke.

I would've known that I would be, oh crap my water broke it's all over the floor and I'm sitting in and I didn't realize it. I haven't had any pains nothing, this can't be happening here.

Ty chuckled; it can and it is and in a little while you're going to welcome a new addition to your family but first, we need to get you to the clinic. Let me call them and you call Stefano and tell him to meet us there.

Ty called the clinic and alerted them that Roderigo's water had broken and he was at the office they needed to chair.

Roderigo commonly called Stefano who answered right up since he was getting ready to leave the construction office after he signed out. Honey I think you might want to meet me at the clinic when you get here, we are going to have a baby tonight.

Stefano listened to his mate, are you sure or is this just a false alarm?

Sure, as my water broke five minutes ago and I'm getting ready to go to the clinic for delivery so if you want to see your son born you need to get your ass there and while you're at it Call the boys.

Stefano called Everett just as soon as he hung up with Roderigo. Get your butt to the clinic the baby is on the way your dad's water has already broken and he's on his way there now. I'm in town so I have to wait on transit before I can get there, I just hope that I'm not late.

Jake had overheard the entire conversation and grabbed Stefano's arm and told him to get moving to his speeder they would take it and be at the Z1 in no time. Jake left out of the construction office full throttle, there was no way that baby would be born without both of his parents there. Stefano was a little frightened at Jake's driving, he only hit the high spots and not all of those. 9 miles in four minutes is how long it took for Jake to arrive at the Z1 he didn't slow down for the entrance gate and headed directly to the clinic.

Damn that's another set of bars I have to buy Zach, he's going be pissed but I don't give a shit you need to get the clinic.

Ty was standing by Roderigo and Stefano arrived, Everett arrived shortly after that. John was still on high scaffold and would be late. Ty gently backed away and let the Gomez family begin the process of welcoming a new child into the fold.

Everett watched intently as the medical staff prepped Roderigo for his delivery, the doctor checked in and told him that he needed to get in the chair because the baby was coming any time. As Roderigo settled into the delivery chair, he felt pressure being relieved of his lower body. Rupert looked at Roderigo and asked him was he ready to get this started because the baby was more than ready.

I don't think it's time Doc, I'm not having any pains and not a lot of pressure. My water broke but that doesn't mean anything it was two days before knucklehead over there arrived after my water broke.

That was your first time and you did not have the delivery chair, this time is going to be a lot different so if you're ready to meet your son I suggest you get ready because he is already crowning.

Roderigo was startled by the announcement that the baby was crowning, he didn't feel pain or even pressure how could his baby becoming coming.

Stefano took his place in front of Roderigo and took his hand. Just follow the doctor's orders and his instructions. And it will all be okay my love.

Roderigo; I need you to take a deep breath and give me a light push.

As soon as Roderigo pushed, he felt his vent spread wide in the feeling of the baby leaving his body. He was intrigued and shocked at the same time, how could this not hurt?

Rupert caught the baby tied his umbilical cord off and smacked the little boy on the ass to get him breathing. And boy did he squall like a banshee. Rupert in the medical staff cleaned the young one up he passed him on to Stefano so that they could bond and he could attach the child to Roderigo's gland for the first nursing.

Roderigo was a little lost, he had a child there was no pain he felt nothing but euphoria. Stefano held the child up to his right nipple and the little boy attached and began to nurse.

I'm I could stand to have a few more these since this easy now.

Stefano was shocked at what come out of his mate's mouth, to have more children now?

Why not it's easy, this chair is all the difference in the world between struggling in pain and nothing but light pressure and a beautiful birth. Yes, I'm telling you right now I want more babies so get ready.

Okay you're full of hormones right now, you will come down off your high and we can talk about this in a couple days.

Rupert finished cleaning up Roderigo and come around to talk to the couple. You did great this was your second birth at your age and in four months if you decide you wish to have another child then the two you can try. It is possible to get pregnant within 48 hours of delivery but is not recommended. We like for our dad's bodies to recover and repair themselves before they conceive again.

Stefano looked at Rupert; you mean when he's four months old it's okay for Roderigo to conceive another child?

Yes, with proper nutrition and vitamin intake there's not any reason other than y'all don't want to have any more, that you cannot have more children. But this time I want to see you once a month for the first seven months then every two weeks after that up until the baby is born. Is that a deal?

Roderigo smiled; that's a deal Doc count me in. We are going to have plenty of little ones running around the house.

John arrived and stood beside Everett. You just missed it, dad announced that he wants more children and I think it blew father's socks off. Dad was very apprehensive about having children, but after this smooth delivery here at the Z1 he is ready to have another one right now.

Let the medical staff get you out of the chair Roderigo and you go to a room for about an hour to rest then you and the baby can go home that is as soon as you name it.

Oh, I forgot about that, his name is Brent Gomez, I couldn't decide on anything but that name came to me and that's what I like so his name is Brent.

Okay let me get this put in the announcement board, born at 5:35 PM on this date to Stefano and Roderigo Gomez weighing in at 16 lbs. 3 oz. a bouncing baby boy by the name of Brent Gomez. Everyone is doing fine.

Did you say 16 pounds and 3 ounces just came out of me; my boy weighed that much?

Yes, I did and you did a fantastic. Being a little older does not mean that you cannot have children it just means there's certain precautions we take but yet your body is more mature and able to handle a child's birth easier. So, you need to lay down and rest and you will be released by the medical staff in an hour.

The announcement came across Tim's communicator and he smiled, another addition to the Z1 all are doing fine. He showed the announcement to Graham. You see here Graham here at the Z1 were all family, we take care of our own and since you are with Ranger you are family also. First light tomorrow I will work only new booster for the signal so that I can call a crew out you can show us where the fencing is down so that we don't have to worry about anyone trying to sleep in the back.

We will be placing more surveillance cameras along the perimeter so that these so-called raiders won't stand a chance. I one run this by you, how would you feel about a neighbor here at the home site. It will be someone very special and his new mate when he takes him.

It's up to Ranger is not up to me, but who would you have in mind?

The gentleman that's with me, his name is Jonathan Argola he is not of this planet. He comes from Earth before the big outbreak that killed two thirds of the population of the planet. He has been cryo sleep for 450 years so that makes him 478 years old. There's a lot that he can tell you about human past histories. But there's a lot that you can teach him about Genmen history here on the planet. I think it would be a great asset to have him around here I believe the two of you will get along good.

It's something that I would be willing to talk about with Ranger and we can all sit down and talk while you are here. I really don't have a vote but the man does seem to be quite well-adjusted as far as humans go. I have known a few and I can't say they are anything like him at all.

Tim and Graham parked both vehicles in the storage locker and closed it down and locked it for the night. And they went into the house where Jonathan and Ranger were having a great conversation.

Jonathan stood up and shook Graham's hand and congratulated him on his soon to be son.

Graham was a little thrown off and shook Jonathan's hand and return. Thank you I suspect we will get to be good friends here in the back section.

Ranger had a questionable look on his face and looked at Tim. Exactly what is going on in your mind Mr. Tim?

It's just Tim, Ranger and this is what I'm going to propose. With everything that's going on the new baby in the back teardown of the fence you need more protection in numbers. I'm proposing that we add another cottage adjacent to this one for another couple to stay out here with you. There's always strength in numbers. The couple I have in mind are not even together yet they are talking but there's nothing for sure.

Jonathan, I know that you like it out here and I understand where you come from, I researched it and it was a very desolate area. If we can work out the logistics and we put another cottage fenced with the perimeter fence around both places, like a small compound for protection against the wild rackknars and anyone wishing to do harm. I am putting a request in for a small speeder so that you do not have to walk back and forth to the warehouses to pick up supplies and necessities. This will help when you take a mate and your mate decides to bear a child and when Ranger decides to conceive another one.

Mr. Tim, I don't know Augustus may not want to live out here and that would make me sad because it is so peaceful here. Plus, he needs to go to school to finish his education.

Well, it's not a bad deal, at least I don't think it's a bad deal what about it, Graham do you think we could stand a neighbor? He has an interesting past and he has great ideas concerning water and solar arrays though so that we have perimeter lights at night.

I personally don't have a problem, and if you wish to have neighbors next to us and we will have neighbors. I think Jonathan is a very nice man well-settled and can bring a fresh outlook to the area.

Ranger give a grimmest look on his face.

I know that look Tim, the first labor pain just hit him whether he wants to admit it or not.

It's just gas, I've had enough that I know when my time is near and it's not.

Sweetheart this is your first pureblood delivery, it will be different from your previous hybrid deliveries, we have talked about this before we need to get you to bed and prep you in case your water ruptures during the night. I'll get you settled in bed and the guys can bring a pitcher of water in and everything we need to deliver.

Tim was a little taken back, I'm glad you're here Graham number one it's your first child together and his first pureblood, you have experience with purebloods, don't you?

Yes, I do I've seen hybrids and purebloods born and from personal experience there's a whole lot of difference. He raised his shirt to show Tim his pregnancy stripes on his side, there were 7 in total.

Tim responded in kind showed him his one stripe, I know what you mean it happens to all of us at times. Mine was not planned but I had the help of my father and a family friend that did a Sero conversion and when the twins were born, he took the twins along with his mate who could not conceive and they are raising them. They know who I am and why they are living with their parents as they do. I love my boys and I love the newest one that I had with my mate that he birthed recently. What about you were or yours at?

I was on a breeding farm, when it came my time, I was strapped into a breeding block and one of the large males was sent to me to make me pregnant. I did not wish to have a child from my body but sometimes others have their own ideas. They were hoping to reproduce my special qualities. One was born with my eyes and couple with my skin tone, but none have my hair color. I birthed my first child and within 48 hours while I was still dirty inside, I was impregnated once again. This went on for seven cycles.

After the last one was birthed, I played sick and complained about problems with my insides that they were falling out, I was hurting so bad that I needed to see someone. They made the mistake and left me alone and I saw the chance and I ran.

That's where the Raiders come in at, they hunt down escapees recapture them and return them to the breeding facilities. It's all about money.

This last time when I was trying to free some of the ones that are still at the facility I was almost captured. That's the reason I took so long coming back because I had to evade capture.

Graham that's one thing you do not have to worry about ever again, you are on the Z1 and we will protect you and this new baby that you and Ranger are going to have. Don't worry about your old life it doesn't exist anymore you only have your family now to contend with. I'm going to call for a security team to come here tonight and be posted outside of the parameters. If one raider gets his foot on the Z1 property he will not walk away. Loose lips sink ships, and this one will never be sunk.

Ranger said that the people who own the Z1 were different and I really didn't believe him but talking to you it means the difference. I thank you for all that you can do.

Don't mention it just stay here with Ranger and gently guide him through the first steps of his newest delivery when it gets further on, we will help out. Jonathan, I need to talk to you in front room concerning an important matter.

Sure, Tim not a problem let's go discuss whatever you need to.

You didn't tell me that before Graham?

It's not something that I'm proud of Ranger, I had seven offspring and I've never seen them nor know what they feel like.

It's not your problem Graham, you're not responsible for what was done to you by the greed of others. When Mr. Zach and Mr. Ben get back if you want to search for them, we can plus they know people who can help with the others that you try to get free.

That's enough about my past Ranger, we need to think about our future and our baby that is due to arrive at any time.

I know Graham, I just want you to know that I'm here for you. I chose the life of a surrogate so that others could have the joy of being parents. No one forced me to give up my children that I proudly carried for others. But this one is a new beginning for us both, I love you so much Graham you have made me complete and brought so much joy into my life I just wanted you to know this before all of the events take place.

Ranger I realized that the very first time we made love. It wasn't the act of reproduction or even non-menial sex it was love and I truly love you. Graham leaned over and kissed Ranger as the baby kicked big time, so glad to have his parents near.

Okay Tim what did you want to talk to me about?

This is kind of difficult to speak about you being new to the ways of our planet. Someone has an affliction where their body has chosen for them, it's more like a genetic encoding that is triggered when two compatible people meet and it's not satisfied until and impregnation has occurred.

And what the hell does this have to do with me?

Jonathan someone's genetics has chosen you, more precisely your seed to carry. He is not a carrier by nature but due to his genetics when his match has found him his body kicks into overdrive and must carry.

Tim, I don't have any idea what you're talking about and I'm not sure that I want to father a child even with Augustus. I mean I like him we get along good but if he saying that he wants to carry for me that's not in the deal right now.

Tim chuckled; know is not Augustus not yet. This person is not a Genman he is an original and human mix. He never dreamed that he would carry any child in his body even though he knew it was a chance that it could happen. One day you and him accidentally touched and you triggered his genetics, now every time he's around you he must wear a vent shield to keep from soaking his britches.

Who in the hell could that be? I only spend any time with you, the doctors a few of the medical staff and Madison.

Bingo you hit it on the nail.

You want to carry for me?

Tim looked at Jonathan with a wild expression; hell, no I carried once and that's enough for me I don't ever want to do that again. I am talking about Madison.

No way, he ain't into me I like him as a friend and a colleague but I don't want to have sex with him.

It would not be anything but a casual exchange of genetic materials through a physical act. You would not be making love, you would only be having sex, you would just crawl in bed with him scoot up behind him place yourself inside of him and do the physical act until you released your seeds inside of his fertile area. Then you could slip out of bed and go back about your life, he would carry the child birth it and Benjamin would raise the child as their own.

Say what? This is too strange I'm not that kind of person never have been, a lot of guys can go to the bars and pickup old broad and take them back the hotel room bang their brains out blow a load and walkout. And never think another thing about it, me I have feelings I have a conscience. The old wham bam thank you ma'am doesn't do it for me.

Jonathan, I don't think it should be entered into lightly either, but this is something that Madison has to have done so that he gets it out of his system once and for all and he get on with his life. And I suggest that the three of you, Madison, Benjamin and yourself sit down and talk about this that way you can understand what goes on with a male Goran human cross. His parents know all about it and they won't be happy. But they will realize this is his life and that when you get that yearning it will literally tear your insides out until it satisfied. So, when we get back to the ranch, I would like for you to come to the main house, all of you so we can meet in the library and discuss this like adults.

We can discuss it all we want but there is no way I am having sex with Madison; you and he are my best friends and you do not sleep with your best friends. At least I won't no matter what, I don't do it.

Well, we have discussed this matter all we can discuss. I believe we need to go in and check on Ranger to see what his dilation level is. Because before morning there's going to be five of us here.

Tim walked in the room to find Ranger struggling. Graham was doing all he could to help his mate, he rolled him from side to side and even had them set up for a few minutes trying to get the baby into the right position.

How long has he been like this Graham?

Not long Mr. Tim, he's been going through some very hard contractions and he's fully dilated but the baby is not coming out. It's just not in the right position and nothing that I'm doing is helping.

Tim walked over to Ranger and gently palpated his abdominal region in hopes of getting the baby into the right position but all it did was cause Ranger more pain.

Jonathan could see that this was a precarious situation, the baby was ready to come out but for some reason it could not hit the channel. If you don't mind me interjecting, there is an old Indian trick that I learned living out where we did. The squaw would be led out to a birthing pole in the middle of the room and she would be helped by two of the other ladies to gently let her squat down. This would put pressure on the child so that it could birth easier plus her legs were spread out and her pelvis area was relaxed to facilitate the birth.

Tim and Graham both looked at Jonathan and the center support beam that ran floor-to-ceiling in the room.

I don't give a shit, let's get this baby out of me he has to come out he cannot stay in. Somebody help me to that post and we can try it this so-called Indian way?

Tim grabbed a blanket and spread it on the floor in front of the pole, he and Jonathan helped Ranger out of the bed and got him to the pole.

Graham I need you to be behind Ranger is we gently let him down so that when that baby comes out, he doesn't hit the floor. You think you can do that as the father?

Yes, Jonathan I can do whatever is needed to make sure my mate and my child is safe.

Okay Tim whenever you are ready let's help Ranger out to the pole.

Tim and Jonathan helped Ranger get to the pole and grasp a hold of it. Now Ranger were gently going to let you down, let your body do the rest the natural flow of your body facilitate this child coming out. After we get you lowered down to the lowest position and you have your next spasm gently push.

Okay Jonathan, I trust you; crap here goes another one it hurts like a mother Fucker I think he moved, I think he moved.

Ranger you're doing fine, I can see the baby he is fully crowned and he's coming out, just a few more pushes and our son will be here you're doing great. Oh, crap I can't do this, Jonathan please take over for me, I'll stand beside him but I can't see my mate do this.

Jonathan and Graham changed out places. Jonathan made sure he had a blanket so that he didn't imprint on to the baby.

Jonathan was right behind Ranger; okay Ranger the next pain I need you to push just as hard as you can. We need to get this baby out and get him some air you understand me?

Yes, sir I do, oh Fucking hell it's a big one and I gotta push. This hurts none of my others had been this painful.

That's okay Ranger this is the first time that you are birthing a pureblood and he's not little.

You don't have to tell me that feels like my vent is being split wide open.

You're not being split but you are very stretched, okay here he comes take a deep breath and now relax.

What's going on, I don't feel nothing?

He's out Ranger, your son is out and I'm cleaning him up right now. Just let me clip off his umbilical cord and I will bring you your son once the guys have you back in bed.

He's not crying, is everything okay please tell me Jonathan is everything okay?

He is not crying no; he is breathing just fine he's even smiling. He is just going to be a quiet child hopefully. But give them a few hours and he'll make up for it when he gets hungry.

Jonathan took the boy over to the dressing table and cleaned him up and checked him over and got a weight of 26 pounds 3 ½ ounces. He was a very big boy.

Braylee was a very sweet child; he had the good looks of his dad along with his hair but he had father's size and eyes. Jonathan was checking over the child as he wiped him down, he did find something that concerned him. The child looked normal was male and had every physical attribute that a normal human male would have, he was missing something that a Genman would have in their physiology.

He asked Tim to step over for second before he brought the child to his parents, Jonathan spoke to Tim and told him what he had found. Tim wasn't really concerned because sometimes things don't always go as planned when to Genmen get together and produce a child.

Jonathan brought the child to the bed and handed him to Ranger, who started to counting fingers and toes making sure that all were where they were supposed to be. Braylee found exactly what he was looking for and latched on to Ranger's right nipple and began feeding.

As the four were in the bedroom after the birthing not a lot of attention was paid to anything else until they heard a crash.

Graham and Tim sprang into action, Jonathan was told to stay with Ranger and bolt door shut. Tim was at the front door listening when the doorknob started to turn even though there was a bolt on the door it was not a high secure door like the bedroom door was.

Graham reached into a bag of his and retrieved a Taser that he had for his personal protection. He motioned for Tim to release the lock on the door so that whoever was outside could enter and they would control him.

The lights were off in the main room in their eyes had adjusted, the door slowly opened and a large figure entered the home. He was alone and it didn't take Graham just a second to take him down with the Taser.

As a large figure laid on the floor of the home Tim slammed the door shut and locked it. Tim retrieved a piece of binding and tied the unknown assailant's wrist and legs as he laid on the floor quivering from the Taser blast.

Graham looked down and moved the man's head so he could see the face. Fucking raiders, they tracked me here, no one is safe.

Graham he might be alone, we are safe here all of us are we just need to get some answers out of this Dick head. I alerted security and they are on their way here tonight. We will have 10 highly trained security professionals protecting you, Ranger and the baby. We need to turn on the security floods.

About those; Ranger has not had those repaired yet. Rackknars chewed through the lines again just like they did with the booster system.

That's okay Graham, Security will have it covered go back and check on Ranger and your son, I'm going to make some coffee, it looks like it's gonna be a long night.

Tim rolled the man over on his back so he could get a good look at this so-called raider. The man's shirt came untucked and Tim noticed two stripes on the side of the man's abdominal region. Who the fuck was this? What kind of organization sends a carrier out to try and kidnap someone?

Tim had Jonathan help him place the man in a chair and bind him tightly. He applied a piece of tape to the man's mouth so that he could not call out for help. This guy was not going anywhere until he answered a lot of questions.

Graham filled Ranger in on the situation who was horrified. He realized that the child and him were not safe at this moment.

Graham gently reassured Ranger that he had the whole situation under control thanks to Tim and Jonathan who had the man bound. There was only one thing that needed to be done and he took his leave from Ranger to do it.

Graham walked to the kitchen and retrieved a very sharp knife. He went to the living room area where the man was tied up in the chair, as soon as Tim saw the knife, he stood up to defend the man.

Graham you don't want to do this there are other ways to take care of interlopers here on the Z1 you do not have to hurt him.

Graham looked at Tim and realized what he meant. Mr. Tim, I don't mean him harm but he has a tracking device located in his back in the region of his upper shoulder. If I do not remove it, they can track him when they go to monitor after he hasn't been in communication for a certain length of time. I had mine removed that's the reason they cannot longer track me they must have picked up on some old signals and been tracing back by previous pathways.

Tim and Jonathan watched Graham as he swabbed down the area with a disinfectant after he had located the device. Graham made a simple small incision and put pressure until the tracker was squeezed out of the man's shoulder. Quick get me the lead in that small blue box I have to in case it inside of it to hide the signal.

Jonathan took the lead out and made a pliable sheet in which Graham placed the tracker device in. Jonathan rolled it up then squeezed the ends tightly.

That should take care of it until we can dispose of it, we never want to destroy them because they will track it to the last place it was. If the device shows up on the opposite side of the planet when they login to find him they will start looking in that direction.

Tim was blown away with Graham's knowledge. That's something else, they have become so sophisticated we need to start finding a way to check all incoming Genman for trackers. We could have agents of the consortium and we would never know it.

If you can hook me up with your tech department Mr. Tim, I can give them the information that they need but at this point in time I am not leaving Ranger nor the baby.

I understand Graham and I do not blame you at all but we need to make sure that the three of you are safe and as soon as Ranger is able to travel, he needs to have an exam just to check him over plus the baby needs to be checked.

There's something that we haven't told either one of yet, the baby is not normal.

What you mean he's not normal?

Jonathan spoke up, on the examination I found him to be perfectly normal for a human child. But as a Genman child he does not have certain attributes that are indelible to your race.

I don't get it, what the hell is wrong with my child?

Graham he does not have the vent. He is perfect in every way and if you put him in a room of human children, he would be no different. He has only one reproductive organ in his body and that is that of a male.

Graham stood there for second, you mean he is a pure alpha not only a pure blood but a pure blood alpha? Do you realize how rare this is in the genman race that a child is born this way?

Tim answered up; I've never heard of it and we do selective reproduction here by request on the Z1 all the time.

That's exactly what I mean, they will seek him out to take him. Maybe this is what they were trying to get to happen every time I was made to carry.

Graham that's possible maybe there's a genetic string that we don't know about and you are a carrier of it so it's possible that you could produce an offspring such as this.

They heard a noise behind them and turned around to see Ranger standing there holding the baby.

Do you mean that our child is a very special child? I could've told you that the first time I held him that he was special, a dad can feel these things. And it will be a cold day in hell for the consortium ever gets their hands on this child. They will have to pry my cold dead hands away from his body before they can take him.

Graham looked down at the floor then looked up at Ranger, they would have no problem doing that in fact had this Raider discovered the child and his special gift after he dispatched both of us, he would've taken him.

Now that his tracking device has been removed, he can never go back because they will treat him as a traitor and escapee. As long as he stays on the Z1 he will be fine.

That's not gonna be hard, I will assign him to a personal security detail and he will take care of him and his every move replied Tim. But Graham there's one thing I don't understand, why would you assign a carrier a job like this?

They're not a standard carrier Mr. Tim, they are rewarded by the consortium when they capture a runner such as me. They liable to assign 10 to a runner and the one that apprehends him is rewarded with a lavish meal and a breeding by the breeder of their choice always. He carries the child inside of him knowing that he has done a tremendous deed for the consortium and he gifts them his child. Like he has a choice it would've been taken away regardless.

So, what you have here is a tracker that has found two runners and was impregnated twice, hopefully they will raise the child become a tracker like it's Dad.

That's just sick, that's a reward for doing the job that you were assigned, you are impregnated by whatever breeder of their choice?

It's a different world living under the consortium, after I transitioned, I was impregnated and then subsequently six more times, I found a chance in I ran. Braylee and Ranger are my life now. I will never go back to what I was made to do ever again.

And you never will Graham, Z1 is like a giant family we take care of each other. No one will ever touch you, Ranger or the baby.

The raider began to come around and started to struggle at his bindings. Jonathan walked up to the man and grabbed him by the hair of the head and tilted it backwards. You are never getting loose; you are on the wrong side of the fence and here is where you will stay until you draw your last breath. So, forget about grandeur of another successful capture because you have been captured instead.

There was a knock at the door and the voice outside and announced that he was there with the security staff as requested. Tim took a look out and sure enough it was Hal short for Halbert. The Z1's most trusted and valued security staff member. Then it dawned on Tim who they should assign to the raider as his constant caretaker and security protocol enforcer.

Tim opened the door and let Halbert inside and instructed the rest of the crew to fan out around the cottage until morning, if they could get the lights working that would be better but if not, they were to approach everything with extreme prejudice.

What do we have here Mr. Tim Inquired Hal?

Your future assignment, and your roommate responded Tim.

Hal looked at Tim, I have a small personal sleeping quarters with only a small bed meant one sometimes two if they were willing.

What you do behind doors is between you and him, don't ever let him tell you no. He's not fresh he's been spoiled twice before.

There was a Terror look in the raider's eyes as he heard Tim speak to the security staff member. He was being offered up as a breeding companion, what kinda place was this he had stumbled on to?

Mr. Tim, he might have done stuff in his past but I will never force someone to do something they don't wish just because I have my needs it has to be mutual.

While the two of you will be together 24/7 so you make the best of the situation. After he settles down, he will find himself a lot more accepting of his situation and agreeable to partake in certain personal needs that you have.

Graham was listing to the entire conversation and couldn't believe his ears. Calm and cool Mr. Tim had a devious streak in him, he had just offered up the raider as breeding material for this huge Genmen by the name of Halbert. He shook his head and walked back into the bedroom to speak with Ranger.

Jonathan looked at Tim, not me and say anything but the raider whatever his name is smells atrocious. He needs to be scrubbed down.

Halbert that's your job, unbind him except for his wrist, and be careful of his feet because you know they can kick. Take him to the shower strip him and scrub him from head to toe. I'm sure that Ranger has an older set of clothing that he can donate to the cause.

It didn't take Halbert no time to have the raider standing up and walking to the shower area. After they enter there was a small scuffle but it sounded like a couple of good blows were landed and then no more resistance was detected. After about 45 minutes the two reemerged, the raider wasn't half bad looking and you could tell that Halbert had taken a liking to him.

Gone was the tape from his mouth and when Halbert told him to speak and tell Tim his information he did.

Since my tracking chip has been removed, I am now a rogue. I have no place in the consortium now. Halbert convinced me to speak, I am designated 1477 I was assigned to capture escapee 1324. I have failed my job and have no place.

Tim looked at the young man who wasn't really that old but he had been through a lot. You look like a Hoyt to me if you agree to this designation is your name from now on you will be known as Hoyt.

The raider looked at Tim, wish to give me name?

Yes, your name from now on is Hoyt, this is what you should answer to when someone calls without or ask you what your name is you will respond with it.

Halbert take them into the kitchen and feed him please do not unbind him yet. That is something that he must earn.

Yes sir Mr. Tim, now Hoyt; stand up and will go to the kitchen so that you may be fed.

The two went into the kitchen without a problem, Halbert had never seen anyone consume food like Hoyt did. Boy when was the last time that you ate?

The last time that I ate was 13 cycles ago, I have had water but nothing more.

That never happened again now that you live here on the Z1 and you are my charge.

After the food was consumed a very full Hoyt was shown back to the living area and soon laid down on the floor.

Halbert gave Hoyt a pillow and covered him up and soon the young man was sound asleep.

Works every time, a good hot bath and a nourishing meal calm's the savage beast. Now Tim please tell me, what am I supposed to do with him?

Halbert, you have worked tirelessly and it's time that you earned some days off, you will get him a custom to the living habits that we do on the Z1 he is permanently assigned to you. If the two of you happen to get together and produce an offspring that's okay too. But he is your responsibility 24/7.

Halbert didn't know how to respond other than yes sir, thank you Mr. Tim I will not fail you.

Graham shook his head, Mr. Tim it might be easier said than done breaking the raider. They are subjected to some cruel treatment in their training, I wouldn't turn my back on him too soon. I could be wrong but Halbert is going to need to be very careful with this one.

Halbert looked at Graham, thank you very much Sir for the words of wisdom. But I realize that he has to be totally retrained. You cannot break him but you can show him a different way of life. The hand restraints will remain for a while. I will take the first watch so that the rest of you can get sleep.

Everyone bedded down, Graham went into the bedroom where Ranger and the baby were at and locked the door behind for security reasons.

After about two hours Halbert was sitting back in the shadow areas watching everything, Hoyt set up and looked around. You're not alone and if you think you're going to do something you are sadly mistaken said Halbert from the shadows.

No Sir, I will not attempt anything but my time is getting close and I've got cramping starting. I need to expel my bodily discards.

Halbert stood up walked over to Hoyt in assisted him in standing in the two went to the bathroom so that business could be taken care of.

We usually don't do it naturally, when our time starts, we are given a shot that stops it so that no unauthorized births happen. In my pack outside is a vial of medication and a syringe so that I can be injected to stop it.

Not gonna happen, you will be allowed to cycle naturally this time. We don't do that here on the Z1, when a couple decides to have a child, they do it at the appropriate time without any interference with unnatural drugs.

But when my pheromones release, it's going to be bad for everyone.

Believe me Hoyt we're not animals, here we can control ourselves. So let your cycle start naturally, I will lock you off and teach you how to use a shield to help with your discharge.

Hoyt stood there as the larger man unfastened his pants and let them fall to the floor. Halbert ran his calloused hand over the smooth ass that stood before him, now Hoyt, I need you to bend forward and exposure your vent to me and flex your vent like you're trying to push out.

Hoyt was shocked when his vent popped outward.

There you go just like a normal Genmen wanting to be taken but not now. Now the next thing that I do was sting but it is required to lock your vent off to keep others from you should you end up in a situation where you are along with other males.

Hoyt yelped and stood straight up after a firm smack of Halbert's hand upon his vent. Old shit that stings like hell what the fuck did you do?

I designated you is claimed territory and your vent is now locked to all others but me. Now been back over and let me fit your shield over your vent that way when you leak it won't soil your clothing.

Ranger knocked on the door. Is everything okay in there with you two?

Yes, Halbert responded; just taking care of a few things that needed to be addressed we will be out in a minute.

Okay when you're through come to the kitchen I've got coffee made. The little one is down for his nap after he fed.

A very embarrassed Hoyt stood there as the shield was applied to his vent and firmly positioned. He stood up and tried to walk around but he found it difficult with the extra padding between his butt cheeks.

Everybody is going to know there's something wrong with me back there.

Not hardly three guys in my crew right now or wearing them and they are locked by their mate's. Here it's natural just went back to the old ways of protecting what should be protected in a relationship.

What do you mean that should be protected in a relationship?

What I mean Hoyt is that a breeder looks after his carrier and protects him from all others. We are not on the slave ship anymore or part of the consortium where we are told when we will be bred and carry children. This is our choice now; it is no longer anyone else we control our bodies and since you been assigned to me it is my job to make sure no one desecrates yours.

The two left the restroom and entered the kitchen area. And sitting at the table was Ranger along with Graham who had his arm around his mate's shoulder.

Well, I heard we had a visitor last night and he was quite impressive. Welcome to my humble abode I understand the name assigned to you is Hoyt, my name is Ranger and beside me is my chosen mate Graham. Please have a seat so that we can get to know each other better, I understand our lives are intertwined because of what you and Graham have lived through. But I'm here to tell you that it's all over, never again will any group dominate you or control you here we are free.

Hoyt was shocked at how freely this very eloquent man spoke to him. He noticed that there was a wet spot on the man's shirt and mentioned it.

I'm sorry I'm still a little full the little one did not want all of his late-night snack and I forgot to put a pad.

You mean that you have a child here in this house?

Yes Hoyt, he is a newborn and he is our son. Mine and Grahams I birthed him last night, and he is only the beginning.

Graham looked over at Ranger, you know that still under discussion.

There's no discussion to it Braylee will have plenty of brothers to play with so just get ready to do your service as a father.

Hoyt looked at the two of them very funny.

Ranger smiled; we speak freely here we don't stand on circumstance. Yes, Graham as he is known now fathered my child, and it shall be the first of many children that we will have together he just has to get used to it. I can tell that it's your time, you know genman carrier nose so I understand what took you so long in the facilities. You want your first time to be special with someone that you're spending eternity with. Halbert is a wonderful man and it is very well-timed that he settled down and decided to have a family.

I know all about your past I have been told, but this will be the first that you will be able to raise as a dad and it will unlock so many feelings in you. This is my first to raise from infant, I have birthed before but all of those were honor births for childless couples or a father who wished to raise it by himself. So having the little one close to me has been extra special and Graham being here is all the better.

I can't stay here I'm afraid that the consortium will track my last whereabouts.

Halbert spoke up; no, they can't because your tracker, it has been reprogrammed and the signals are coming from the other side of the planet, Tim put it in a scrambler and wrapped it and lead.

Why then didn't Graham's device show differently?

That's easy he was not as diligent as we are, he only sent it somewhere else he never scrambled it because the person that removed it did not know any better. But you have been erased as far as they are concerned. They will never know where you are at, so life can begin anew responded Halbert.

The quietness was disturbed by Braylee signaling that he was hungry again. Ranger looked at Graham, dear would you please go get him. I fear that it will take a lot to raise this young man he is going to be hungry constantly and growing quite rapidly.

Graham leaned over and kissed Ranger yes, my dear I will go get our son and bring him back.

It finally dawned on Hoyt that there was a child here and it did belong to Graham he was the father. He had heard the discussion and even spoke to Ranger but when he saw Graham walk through the door coddling the child in his arms did, he realize that it was his. Maybe his life could start a new again also.

Coming soon P -- 95.

Please help keep the nifty archive up and running with your generous donation which is tax deductible.

To my readers I do apologize for the lengthy time between the last two chapters. August,18 I found myself in the hospital suffering from a case of cellulitis which turned into Sepsis. It was touch and go they even discussed if they could not slow down the spread of the poisoning that they might have to remove the lower left leg from the knee cap Down. They tried every cocktail of antibiotics as they could saving the last two strongest ones for the worst-case scenario. I am proud to report after a week-long five-way combination of antibiotics, between injections and IVs, I am on the mend, my leg is still swollen and it is still hot and red. I have four more days of antibiotics left then we see what happens. They have no idea what caused the cellulitis they could find no cuts no abrasions are no breaks and I had no previous histories of anything like this. This is drastically cut down on my time that I'm allowed to sit in a chair upright and write my stories. But don't give up because there will be plenty more to come about the Z1 and my other storylines here on the nifty archive. Enjoy life and live it to the max.
