The Z-1 Ranch

The Z-1 Ranch P-97 CGW©

The boys made it to the house without a second to spare Benjamin was sitting on the sofa looking at the clock on the wall as it struck the 5 o'clock hour.

I see that you cut it very close, but at least you made it in time. From the looks of it some of you might not need supper?

Do I see a little chocolate on your shirt front Brody?

Brody grinned, yes Benjamin you do, Mr. Zach gave me cake to eat and I set in the service area so that I would not make a mess and ate it along with a glass of milk. But you know me I'm always hungry I'm a growing young man.

Okay not a problem, Ben did you talk to father about what you needed to know, I'm not trying to nose is in, I just wanted to make sure that you were okay.

Yes, Benjamin I did, and I already know that I have a transition room reserved when my time is up and I thank you for that. When the proper time comes, I will let you know some more information until then what was said at the main house is between myself and father, no one else will utter other a word.

Not a problem Little Brother it's your life to live.

Oh, by the way Mr. Zack asked how Madison was doing. He was very concerned and said that if he needed anything just let them know. I told him that it was something he ate somewhere while he was out.

Thank you very much Benny, I know that Madison thanks you to. He should be okay in a couple of days you know his system is different from ours since he's human and Goran mixture.

Brody looked at his brother, Benjamin I thought Goran's were built like asteroids almost indestructible?

They are built pretty tough but sometimes they hit some things that knock them down or at least off course for a while.

The door buzzer rang; Brody do you mind getting the door and see who it is?

Brody ran to the door and swung it open and there stood Tim, he lunged into him and hugged him as hard as he could. Hey big bro how you doing, been a little while since you stop by?

And for that Brody I am sorry but I been busy, with the parents being out of town Luther and I have been very preoccupied running the place maybe I need to bring you in one day to help us out?

Sure, I don't think I can mess it up that bad one day plus you would be there to watch over me. And the kitchen is through the door to the left and around the corner, that will work out just fine.

And what about your studies young man? You think your teacher would let you skip a day just because of who you are, I think not.

There you go again Benjamin spoiling everything.

I'm not spoiling anything Brody I just want you to keep your head out of the clouds and back down where you need to be. You're growing up young man and there's responsibilities when you grow. Before long you going to have to start going to class for reproduction and physiology. And you can ask Benny it's not easy.

No Brody it's not, and you have to pay close attention to what is being said there because it's a lot of information about your future.

Really either you're a breeder or a carrier or a combination, then it's all about face down ass up and there behind you and they're going to fuck, next morning you walk out with the kid on board.

Tim spoke; it's a lot more to it than that and you know it. Get the wrong breeder and he can hurt you bad, either you going to be an independent or you can be matched up with someone of your choice it's all up to you nobody here will ever force you to do anything that you are uncomfortable with. But that doesn't mean that someone doesn't have ill intentions toward another and they take it out in the most devious ways.

Sam set there taking it all in he couldn't place this guy he thought he had seen them before but didn't know where.

Tim walked over and held out his hand which Sam shook. I would like to introduce myself to you I understand that you are new to the family here and my brothers are playing host. My full name is Timothy Zachariah Spinelli but I go by Tim.

Your him, you are the guy in the film at the center.

Yes, I am there's no doubt there and I won't deny it, if there's anything you need answered I'll answer it that's the reason I'm so intent on keeping Brody straight because he has to learn the right way so something like happened to me will never happen to him.

I'm sorry I don't know the full story is none of my business, but you really had twins?

Yes, I did and they are with their father and their stepdad their being raised with their half-brother. I go see them they come and see me they know who I am and what I am to them. My new mate and I just welcomed a baby boy not long ago. But for the time being production facility is shut down. And before you ask, I still help out at the reproduction center so that all Genmen have a chance.

You guys really take your lives seriously here on the Z1. Good to be free caring you know happy go.

Have a seat Sam let me explain a few things? Here at the Z1 we care and house over 30,000 genman, hybrids and humans. We have branched out into the local Township where we are building mixed neighborhoods and businesses for everyone. Father has seen his dream of the Museum library and university come to fruition. And this does not come cheap, we sell off what nectar is not needed and we split it with the Genman population that live here.

We have a construction company, we do solar arrays, hydroponic and natural gardening cultivating genetically natural planting. Some of our crops used to make sustainable clothing and furniture. No part of the Z1 is left to spoil, we do is much as we can to give back to this planet that we are allowed to live on.

I heard from dad and realize that your place was mixed in with the latest purchase. You can expect 100% cooperation from the people here at the Z1 and any time any help is needed it will be there.

No tell me what do you think about our little corner of this world?

Should I call you Mr. or not?

Tim is fine Sam.

I am amazed what has been accomplished here, I have never been to the Township here but the other place that we go the prices are just too much. They don't pay nothing for our crops and we don't carry them rejects we carry them prime vegetables. Then what goods we trade for we don't get much. I wouldn't have these nice clothes if it hadn't been for Benny, didn't know anything about undergarments in these funny things called socks to cover your feet before you put your shoes on top of them, they do help with the rubbing of the shoes.

I met several people today that introduce themselves and were very friendly, I saw your exhibit and you are incredible for what you did. But I had no idea that Genmen were ever bound to anyone and forced into servitude. That makes me sick to know that that happened and now you are free here on this planet since your ship crashed.

Most of us are but there are still small splinter groups left over that keep Genmen as commodities. We work closely with the GBI and the local government to put these places out of commission.

What is the GBI have never heard of that?

It stands for the Genman Bureau of Investigations, we work with them closely and they help us along with all Genmen by fighting for Genmen's rights. If it had not been for them my dad never would've been able to purchase land in his name, we would still be considered subhuman and not worthy of anything.

That's amazing Tim, what your parents have accomplished here is nothing short of a miracle.

I realize that myself and they have passed part of the facility to my older brother and myself to assist them in running it day-to-day. And for that I'm truly blessed as with anyone who walks through those gates. The Z1 isn't just a place to work or to live it is like a gigantic family all look after each other.

Tim, I hope you don't mind me interrupting but will you be staying for supper or will you be leaving for the meal was ready?

If I don't go check on Mason, I'm going be in trouble I've already called him three times and told him what I was doing and I would be over at the house for supper soon. I need to check in and touch base with Madison you know make sure he's feeling good after we ate the same thing but his system didn't take it too well.

You know where the bedrooms at it in the hall just knock on the door and see if he's awake, I imagine he'll enjoy the visit.

Tim got up and bid everybody a good evening and went to go check on Madison.

Brody looked at his brother, Matteson is going to be, okay?

Yes, he will if just gonna take a couple of days and he'll be back on his feet, guest Tim feels a little guilty about what they ate and it didn't affect him at all.

Whatever it was I don't want to eat it.

Brody it's something that has to do with Madison's genetic makeup is physiology. You know he's not Genmen he's human and Goran so that must be the problem that he's going through right now.

Tim knocked the door stuck his head into check on Madison. Damn dude you look like hell, who did you get in a fight with, both your eyes are black.

It's okay Tim is just a side effect of my body adjusting to the pregnancy. Is Jonathan okay with everything, I didn't get a chance to talk to him after everything took place while I was resting, he slipped out of the room. Please tell him nothing is his fault; it's just the way Gordon's are built.

I ran into him today and he's not doing the best, he understands why you asked him to do what you did and there was no option for you. He's coming to grips with the fact that he slept with someone of another race with different physiology. You are another guy in one light to his eyes, but yet you're totally different or something that he is never come across before.

Plus, he has a lot of baggage that to deal with, you know that somebody has shown interest in him and they aren't backing off. In fact, he has already announced that his first child will be Jonathan's no matter if they stay together are not.

Whoa there's no pressure there, and here I asked him for a favor I didn't know he was dealing with all of that, especially at his advanced age.

Damn good thing he didn't hear you say that, theoretically he's 28 no matter how long he was locked away in storage. And look at you how old are you, lets figured all this up, that would be 130 if my figures are correct. And it's your first time to pop one out, you kinda waiting late life to start, aren't you?

Okay I deserve that, but it's only one time for me and then I finished. Didn't make the process any easier, does it always hurt that bad?

It's according to your body structure and how big he was.

We ain't going there no more, I almost called at all but I know once started the process has to be completed. So, I just gritted my teeth in the hope for the best, it wasn't all that bad after two minutes but I sure am bruised.

I know your pain Madison, after my incident and the re-breeding I was bruised for over a month. And unlike you pregnant Genmen get horny and want to be fucked all the time, I was a slut and were not talking just a little slut I mean major slut. The father and I had to stay at opposite ends of the house because if we got close to each other I was getting screwed where the he wanted to do the act or not.

I'm glad that part of my life is over also and it will never happen again. Mason is all I need keeps me satisfied and my hormone levels in check. You know they say being a human Genmen hybrid is easy but it's not. And from what I've experienced Goran/Human Hybrids have it just as bad. Your brother is talking about having another baby right away, I put my foot down and remind him what the doctor said and how long he has to take to recover.

I want to wait a year or two before we have another, you know give us a chance to grow together as a couple and as a family before we fill the house up with tiny feet running everywhere knocking over everything, eating the drywall off of the corners of the wall and swinging from the chandeliers. And that's what your nephew does now, Mason is oblivious to all of this unless he goes near the fancy furniture to chew on a wooden leg then it's Ass blistering time.

Madison chuckled and groaned in pain, you're an asshole for making me laugh I hope you know it.

But we make a good team when were out and about, you just get better and get back to work I don't know how long father is going to stand around here with his hands in his pockets.

Tim told his friend goodbye and went through the room and bid us farewell to everyone and wished Madison a speedy recovery.

Tim looked at his watch and decided to leave really quick and get home before Mason started to ask questions.

Everyone was enjoying the meal that Benjamin had made, Madison was drinking some clear broth and eating some crackers to settle his upset stomach. A hard knock came to the door.

Benny opened the door and was shocked when he realized who was there, come on inside sir.

There was a panicked look on Benjamin's face when he realized that not only was his father there but Mr. Zach was to.

Everybody stay where they were, and nobody say anything or move I'm going to go check on my boy. Zach and Ben walked directly to the bedroom and Zach opened the door. The moment been saw Madison setting up in bed eating the clear broth he knew exactly what kind of sickness the young man had and he busted out laughing.

Zach was a little bit slower and turned to his mate, the young man is sick there's no sense of laughing at him for his illness.

Oh, he's sick okay and he'll be sick for a few more months, exactly 9 of them. Zach is not sick he is pregnant; this is a typical Goran alpha pregnancy if you don't believe me ask him.

Ben turned around and hollered down the hallway, Benjamin get your ass in here right now boy and I don't mean two minutes from now, I mean two seconds from now you have got I hell of a lot explaining to do the both of you.

Ben faced his son and son-in-law with his arms crossed and a horrible pissed-off look on his face. Okay somebody better start talking and I want the damn truth.

Madison looked up; Mr. Ben don't be mad at Benjamin is not his fault he's just going to raise my child that's all he wants to do. Goran have different genetic coding than Genmen, Altus have a very complex coding we can go all of our lives and never have a problem but once we need our match and they set off our biological clock for reproduction we must have the child.

I'm so sorry I never meant this to happen and I understand if you wish to fire me Mr. Zach.

Fire you why in the hell would I fire you, I just need to make sure that you can do the job after you get better, damn boy do you think we don't know better than this. Why would you be ashamed of something that happens to you naturally you could not stop it even if you wanted to.

We are here to help you; I just need to get some information that's all we were worried about you being sick from eating something wrong.

Benny and Brody were standing at the doorway as the conversation was going on. Brody popped off in his usual smart-ass manner, yep food poisoning all right got all the bad wiener and it's gonna blow him up.

Zach wanted to laugh but he didn't dare because Benjamin stared down his younger son with daggers.

That's enough out of the cheap seats, go finish your supper boys while we take care of an adult situation and do not mention a word of this to anyone whatsoever and less you wish to walk with your ass up between your shoulder blades when I kick it up there. Now move.

Benny and Brody were down the hallway in two seconds and back in their seats.

Who is responsible for this and will he take responsibility? Inquired Ben.

I don't want to say because it was done as a favor, he will be a part of the child's life as an extended uncle. As far as the child will know Benjamin is his dad and I will be his father since I have no glands to nurse him, he will not bond with me that way.

I hope the Genmen that you picked out for this deed will stay true to his word.

Mr. Ben I will let you know right now, father to the baby that I carry is not a genman nor a hybrid he is 100% pure human. Therefore, his genetics will be more human than Goran. But I will let you know the father is very nice looking and has a very good attitude, and well mannered.

How do we know that this human will not cause a stink later on if the child should look like him?

He had a contract drawn up and everything is set forth in the contract that this was a gift, that he forth right gives up any and all claims to the child. He refused to touch me until I signed on that portion.

Zack thought about for a minute, at least he's educated and he got everything in writing. He can't be a typical worker from the construction crew or even one of the ones living in the bachelor's quarters. You made your choice but it was not your choice because it was dictated by your body's genetic coding and desire.

Take as long as you need, Ben and I will be here 100% of the time and when the baby comes, we will both be in the delivery room along with the Earl. He does know about this?

No Sir there was only four people that knew about this arrangement and dad wasn't one of them. I did not want to hear his prejudgment and preaching, I love my dad and my father but they don't understand what my body was going through every time I came close to the other person. Please don't say anything Benjamin and I will let them know when the appropriate time comes.

You better hope your late bloomer, because if you start showing early your dad is going to know something's up.

I know, but maybe with my build I will stick out very much and I can wait as long as I can wait. I read all the books and everything that was ever written down about Goran pregnancies which isn't much. They just don't talk about being so sick.

Ben started chuckling again, I don't mean to laugh but you might want to check your levels for hormones, if they are very elevated, I know why you're so sick. But I don't want to say nothing until the doctor checks first and I suggest Rupert needs to make a house call tonight.

Is it something bad Mr. Ben?

No Madison is not bad but it might change your outlook on the whole situation.

Tell him to bring his bag and his test kits. I'm ready to get out of this bed.

Zach made the call and spoke to Rupert and asked him to come alone.

Rupert arrived and the boys let him inside, they pointed in the direction to the master bedroom.

When Rupert walked in the room, he was a little surprised to see Benjamin standing yet Madison was lying in bed look like shit. I guess my first intuition was incorrect, Benjamin you're not pregnant?

No Sir not at all but Madison is, and he sick as all get out.

Okay leave me alone with my patients that way I can talk to him and I can run the test I will give him the results first and then if he wishes to share them with you, he can.

I'm sorry Mr. Zach, Mr. Ben and Benjamin but this is patient confidentiality.

Okay the back your pants down enrollment or side it will take just a second for me to get a swab sample.

Benjamin should've taken it easy on you, I need to have a talk with him that's not right.

Dr. Rupert it was not Benjamin and when we come in cycle like this we bruise very easily at our vent.

It took Rupert just a couple of seconds to put the swab in and get his sample and he put it into the electronic reader. He had never seen numbers this high.

Madison, I have worked with others of your kind in your family so I am very familiar with the genetic coding and how to read the results.

These readings are almost at the top of the charts, congratulations you are pregnant I just don't know with how many. Hopefully it's only twins. The father what race is he?

Dr. Rupert he is pure human so the child that I am carrying will be 75% human 25% Goran and genetic makeup.

Madison, you did not understand me. You are not carrying a child you're carrying multiple children and I hope there is only two that you have conceived because you could have more very easily.

Want to invite the others back in while I'm here and relay the information to them.

Yeah, turn the herd loose lead them to the wounded animal for slaughter.

Rupert let everyone back in they were all standing there with their hands and arms crossed and just in a state of disarray.

I have checked him we ran the test; he is pregnant and in approximately nine months the babies will be here. Being that they are 75% human and 25% Goran DNA we will have to keep an eye out and do plenty of scans to find out what sex they are.

Nobody said a word because none of them heard the two words babies and they. Brody was standing at the door while the others made small talk. I don't mean to be the elephant in the room but did I hear the word babies as in more than one and the other one was what sex they are, or was that a Freudian slip of the tongue Dr. Rupert.

No Brody you are correct Madison is pregnant with more than one child that's the reason he so sick. It happens in Goran's, not very often but multiple births do happen.

Zach could not believe his ears; Madison was pregnant with at least twins. This would mean everything would change. No more traipsing across the countryside in the speeder at least not on rough roads and Madison needed to slow down his driving.

Benjamin had to take a seat; Ben was proud as he could be, he was going to be a grandparent again.

Madison broke the ice; nobody tells my parents anything about this situation here. Let me get a handle on the more than one, before we announce it anywhere and that means everyone here has to keep their mouths shut.

All parties in the room agreed, Sam was a little taken back with the whole situation. He asked Benny to explain everything to him about Madison's situation. The two took their leave and went to the bedroom so that Benny could explain everything to the best of his knowledge.

Robbie and the crews were making nice time with the improvements to the fence and security enhancements. They were waiting on the new cottages to arrive.

Hoyt and Halbert were doing fine, Hoyt's cycle was in full force and he was feeling the effects. Halbert was not like most Genmen he had a strong constitution and he could turn away from any Genman in full cycle fully displayed in front of him. That's what made him so great running the security team, he let nothing get in his way or distract him.

Wade was slowly learning his daily care routine, shower then clean the afflicted area then apply his shield with the scent masking fluid.

Ranger was taking a short cycle and very grumpy, between young Braylee hanging off one of his glands and Graham doing all he could not to mount him. Let's just say it was no picnic for Robbie with everything going on around him.

Robbie called Luther at least three times a day to talk, he had a tough job as it was but with all the distractions it made it worse. Luther; please tell your brother the first chance he gets to come back out here. And bring Jonathan because maybe he can sort some of this out, I know I need the help and he would be a welcome distraction since he's pure human and has none of these Genmen urges. Fuck if I didn't know any better, I'd say I was fixing to start mine but we know that that past is just too many hormones in the air.

Okay my love, I will tell Tim that you would like for him to bring Jonathan back out with you to the jobsite. And to let you know somebody has returned but they're keeping it very quiet.

Oh crap, they are not pissed because I'm not at the construction office?

No, the guys have that division very organized thanks to you and your staff that you have. But I thought I would give you a heads up because inspection time is coming and it's headed in your direction.

Robbie got off of the communicator went out to the job site for the guys were lounging and taking it a little too easy. I'm not gonna tell you guys but one time this wall has to be fixed and completed correctly. If somebody comes out or in inspection you can very well guarantee that it will be Nick picked.

One of the crew responded; the big man's back, correct me if I'm wrong?

Let's just say I wouldn't be caught sitting around worktime if I were any of you.

Okay guys break is over we need to get busy. The whole work site suddenly got busy.

Ranger stepped outside and saw all of the commotion going on. I take it somebody has returned from vacation, Robbie?

On the QT yes, so I would expect a visit. You know that Mr. Zach and Mr. Ben are not going to let the chance of seeing that beautiful child of yours and Graham's slip away from them.

The house looks like a wreck, I am a wreck and Graham isn't much better. Tried to hump me in the hallway he did, that Randy asswipe. Took a whack to the balls to back him off, he apologized. he said my scent is driving him insane. And when I went to the living room Halbert growled at me, talk about marking and protecting your territory, that house stinks so bad with the hormones and pheromones I don't think it will ever smell the same. I would open the windows but you wouldn't get any work done out of the crew, they would be climbing all over the outside of the buildings.

You're correct about the stench that has permeated your home. But give it a couple of days and it will be fine, and Graham along with Halbert will be back to normal.

I sure hope that it doesn't smell this bad when Mr. Zach and Mr. Ben come to visit. Talk about embarrassing, that would be the ultimate.

Ben is a Genman and Mr. Zach has either been living with one or around them enough that he knows the smell and the permeation of the pheromones that come out with them on top of that you just gave birth so your nose is even more sensitive to the smell. Stop worrying about it so much, it's going to be okay.

Zach stopped by the office to talk to Tim. Son tomorrow when we go to visit Ranger and the whole situation out there, I want you to drive us and bring along the new guy Jonathan, since he's already been to the house another time one hurt.

Father about that, there's a little more to it than what you know at this time and you can see the progress that's being made out at the back.

Okay, your dad and I will keep an open mind to whatever you're doing out there. I'm sure that you have the Z1's best interest in mind. Zach left the office.

Luther did that just happen? You know what I mean, father did not blow a gasket and demand to know what was going on?

Whatever he's been drinking, he needs to have a few more glasses of it. Our parents came back from the ocean with a whole new attitude.

Sam was sitting on the couch with his nose stuck in a book studying, he figured that he might as well learn everything that he could on his own before taking the entrance exam.

Benny came by the sofa and looked at Sam's sitting there, all those words are going to rot your brain. We need to go outside and get some sunlight, plus I think Madison is about to get up and he doesn't want us to see him struggling.

Sam closed the book up and went and put it back on the shelf where it belonged, okay you've got my attention as long as we can go get some of that stuff you called ice cream or even a malted.

Brody came flying out of the kitchen and grabbed his cap, Did somebody say malted I'm ready to go.

And do you have any credits young man to give you a malted?

Yes, Benny I do my card was refilled this morning and I have enough credits to get me a malted if I wish to get one, not like it's in any of your business.

Benjamin heard the two-way conversation, keep it up boys and Sam will be going by himself.

Both Benny and Brody looked at each other, not a problem here Benjamin just normal sibling rivalry responded Benny.

The three young men took out the door and headed to the food court.

Chip had just set down at his table and took a sip of his chocolate malted when he saw the most beautiful creature in the world walking up to the food court. He smiled, fancy meeting you here again today. That's two days in a row keep on somebody might start talking about us.

Brody nudged Sam in the back, talk to him he's cute. Sam stumbled all over his words as he tried to say hello.

That is so cute, and you're bashful to what am I going to do with you. Have a seat your friends will join us in a minute. Tell me have you decided what subjects you going to take at the Z University.

I don't really know, was a whole Lotta book learning where I come from so, I'm going to have to take it slow.

Don't worry about that the old Chipster will help you out, got my own place it's quiet and we can study. Any book for research material can be checked out at the library and I have a reading nook so we can study together. Make you some Coolwater and serve it to you ice cold, what you think about that offer?

Sounds nice, but you would really help me study if I needed to?

For you my door is always open, you about the cutest thing I've seen since I arrived here six months ago. Tell me are there any more at home like you?

I have four younger brothers, but they need to stay on the place to help with harvest. In my off time when I'm not going to school, I have to go back home and help the crops.

I don't know what ranch or from a farm but it sure different from this place, I thought Mr. Zach had everything lined out.

It's different were I'm from, we were just brought into the oversight by the Z1. I think there's a lot of changes that are going to take place and my people aren't so embracing of change.

Sam, I know what you mean, what I had the chance after I transitioned, I got off of my farm as fast as I could and headed here to the main ranch and I have not looked back I don't regret anything that I have done to better myself. And you don't have to regret anything that you do to better yourself all of us Genmen have to stick together or some of these corrupt people will just take advantage of us.

Benny and Brody walked up with the drinks, Benny couldn't help but overhear Chip's assessment and his last comment. He had no idea that Sam was a human, but with his size and general build he could've been mistaken for a genman by anyone else just like Chip mistook him.

Sam was about to say something when Benny shook his head no. This confused Sam but he went along with Benny.

Chip looked at his communicator and realized his time was near and he needed to get his assignment from the class. He stood up and bid everybody goodbye. No Sam my offer stands you wish to stop by the house section D cottage number 74 it's light yellow and my name is on the mailbox. Chip walked away.

Benny what did you stop me from telling him that I wasn't a genman?

Blending in is one of the most important things we can do. Nobody needs to know that you're a human let's just see where this goes. By the way what was the invite about or do you want to keep that secret too.

He invited me to stop by anytime I wanted to study or I needed help studying you know getting ready for courses.

So, you are going to go to university then?

Yes, I will notify my parents when I see them on my trip home that I wish to stay to be educated. I'm sure that I can stay at the dorms through the week and on the weekends, I'll travel back home to help my family.

Would you look at yourself making your first adult decision concerning your future right here at this table as our food court. Congratulations.

Zach and Ben walked up to the boys; excuse me what is the congratulations for May I ask Inquired Ben.

The boy stood up out of respect, Sam spoke. I have decided to take a placement exam for the University so that I can learn and hopefully earn a degree so that I can have a better future. If it is possible that I stay at the dorms during the week and the weekends I will return home to help with the farm work.

Zach crossed his arms and just looked at Sam, I don't know dad what you think as he spoke to Ben.

Well father, I know how you say that an education is the most important thing that any young man can ever give himself. I don't see why not; the dorms will be okay to start out with but may be a certain young Genman when he goes through his final phase will need a roommate and Sam could move in with him, they could share responsibilities in each one would have their own private bedroom and bath.

I don't know how his older brother is going to take to the news that Benny will be moving out of the house but I think he will be happy knowing that he and Sam will share a cottage.

Brody looked at his brother, hey dude there's flies around here you don't close your mouth are going to go in and make a home.

Benny your request about your future and what you want to do when you're not going to school or working for your special training has been approved by me. I recognize your commitment to this institution and what we do here. So, you can tell your older brother that will be attending training classes. With Madison out of commission for a while as he gets his bearings, we need good young men with great DNA and genetic backgrounds.

Benny jumped out of the seat and before he thought about it, he hugged his father. He suddenly realized what he did and was about to pull away when Ben bear hugged him.

Zach and myself are so proud of you, young man. I just wish your dad was here to see today.

Brody realized that this was a great accomplishment for his brother and was very proud of him.

Well, this seems like a great time for another round of malted's for everyone and they are on the house, Zach you don't mind telling the counter personnel that they need to repeat this order, do you?

Not at all whatever you wish, you will get.

Zach walked to the counter, the young man behind the counter took the order shook his head and started the make the malteds.

Brody was as happy as he could be he received a second malted and only had to pay for one, his father was the coolest parent there ever was.

Zach and Ben walked away leaving the boys to their fresh rounds of malteds.

Benny I'm thinking about that young Genman that invited me over for a visit, I think I might want to take someone with me the first time. I just feel funny around him, I don't know what it's all about.

Brody almost blew up his malted as he got choked. He looked at Benny with huge eyes. He dared not say anything out in the open in front of Sam.

It's okay Sam, I don't mind being a third wheel if Chip doesn't mind me tagging along.

As the three finished their drinks Benny looked at the time and realize that they needed to get back to the house. Benjamin might need help especially with Madison still on the disabled list. They got up from the food court table and took off to the house.

When the boys arrived at the house, they were pleasantly surprised to see Madison sitting on the sofa with his legs stretched out and covered up.

I'm sorry not to meet you earlier Sam, things have been a little difficult for me.

Yes, sir I understand that you ate something improper and it did a number on you, I hope that you're feeling better now sir.

Please Sam do not serve me I'm just a couple of years older than you and I don't want to feel even older by you calling me Sir, I know it's out of respect because that's where you were raised but my name is Madison.

But I do want to straighten up one little misconception. Everybody is here that needs to be here for this conversation Brody you stick around too. I did not eat anything that made me sick I have been recovering from an impregnation. I am different from everyone here and older than anyone here in this room theoretically, but we need to talk about things.

My dad was first-generation Goran hybrid, I am a second generation now before you ask the question what is a Goran, I'll let you know. The Goran or in ancient race as old as humans but raised in a galaxy far away from here. We have similarities with Genmen but we are not the same yes, we can both conceive and carry children and produce children as males. But to see a pure Goran it would scare you; they are a pale lightish blue skinned humanoid, straight white blonde hair and ice blue eyes. A Goran will only take one mate when it's time, but there are some that only produce children just like the genman race unless they meet a compatible subject and they will produce one time.

This is my such time; I will not divulge who the father of the child is due to privacy concerns. Benjamin will raise the child as our own. I will work for Mr. Zach until I become so large that I cannot fit behind the speeder then I will take some time off. Sam I'm going to teach you how to drive. Besides going to school and getting your education you will also help me out when Mr. Ben or Mr. Zach need to go somewhere.

Sir are you sure that that's a good idea, I need to go home on the weekends.

Would just how do you think you're going to get home if you don't learn how to drive and take the spare speeder, it needs to be driven it can stay in storage all time. Give me a few days and I would be back up to speed and you will never know anything happened.

Word did the Goran and Genmen come from? Since there are similarities there must be a common ancestry.

Sam your smart, and you need to know a little more than what has been publicized, most people do not even know what a Goran is.

Genman were genetically created to be a worker race. It was hoped that there would be an equal balance of male to female, but more males were produced basically 3.5 to 1 ratio. The females became aggressive and in time they dominated and overthrew the handlers at the pits where the Goran workers lived.

There was a division there was a power struggle and some renegade Goran helped the females escape and took all the slaves they could, others that were left behind were dispatched by the females.

Genman have Goran, and for different humanoid races that make up their DNA structure. In other words, they were created in the lab like an experiment because that's what they were. My granddad told me the whole history of his race; it was not a prideful time in the Goran history line. After several centuries the females had become a warrior race using the males as slaves to do their bidding and fighting when they needed. They came back and attacked the Goran home world and slaughtered everyone there. A lucky few escaped and spread out to the galaxies but were hunted down and one by one they were executed.

I wasn't born here on this planet I was born on the floating space supply station. My Grandfather was human that traveled throughout the galaxies, he would leave go into cryogenics come out when they arrived wherever they needed to pick up supplies and repeated the process on the return trip. It was just days for him but sometimes it would be months to a year for my granddad. He always tried to make sure he was there when their children were born and grandchildren.

He left went on an expedition only to return to find his family had suffered great loss at the hands of the female Genmen royalty. He packed all of us up that remained put us in stasis pods and were cryogenically frozen for a trip that lasted 108 years, any surviving humans from the station were also brought along. We arrived here we were brought out a stasis in here we are living amongst survivors of a slave ship that crashed.

Wow, Madison that is incredible I cannot phantom what your family went through but at least you're safe now you've got a great family here and you are going to have one of your own.

Yes, it's the last thing that I ever expected to happen to me but nature will find a way. Benjamin has got a pot of Starbird stew on the stove with fresh vegetables. It's what I can stomach so he made the meal to accommodate me I'm sorry boys but it's stew tonight.

I don't know about Brody, Benny and the others but where I'm from Starbird stew is a delicacy. You know how hard it is to hit one of them with a slingshot and a rock, damn near impossible. Especially when there's six people eating it there just isn't enough to go around one bird with a lot of vegetables is a little thin, but it's enough to stink up the pot.

Benjamin smiled; you don't have to worry about that Sam the vegetables stew goes on one side of the plate and the roasted Starbird goes on the other side drizzled with the broth and it served with a side of bread. And there is plenty to go around.

How do you get these things, I know they're very expensive if you see him in one of the stores?

We have rookeries where we raise them after they are hatched in our own hatcheries, the Z1 does a lot of raising of its own food product. I spoke to my father and from what I can understand your family farm is undergoing a complete transformation with an entire new process for growing vegetables and sustainable products so that your family will have plenty to eat.

Well, that's gonna go over like a lead boulder, my father is hardheaded in stuck in his ways. I can't believe that he even let me leave the farm for an education.

But here you are, with your host family enjoying a delicious meal all courtesy of the Z1 family. Enjoy yourself Sam your life has just started.

Brody looked at his brother, Benjamin when we get chance, I might want to let you in on some information. It doesn't need to be discussed here at this time but you need to know.

Is this about your future or someone else's?

Someone else's, and it could potentially be explosive if left unchecked.

Fine after supper and the dishes are done, we'll talk about it.

It was very informal and it was, set at the table when you wanted to serve yourself and have your meal. Benjamin made sure that Madison had his meal and was served where he was so that he did not have to move around much.

The two older boys went to the bedroom and Brody stayed behind. Okay since were alone and is just the three of us what is it that you need to tell me?

I'm not sure but after Sam said he felt funny around a young Genmen today I believe he got a whiff of pheromones from a genman going into cycle. And they must have been targeted were right at Sam because no one else paid the guy any attention.

Brody who is it that were talking about?

His name is Chip he's been here a little over six months, he has his own quarters and he's real cool he's very nice and very polite towards Sam but he has no idea what he's going to get himself into. Let's just say Sam is very well equipped to get the job done and if he's your first you going to be sore for a month or two because he can split a vent wide open with what he's packing.

And how would you know anything about how Sam looks like unclothed?

The first night when Benny's said to get ready for bed Sam just pulled off his clothes like it was no big deal, was going to sleep in the bed butt naked. And let me tell you that thing scared me and Benny told him to keep it to himself and do not even think about getting close to his vent. But it was all said and fun it was not rude or anything, Benny taught him how to control himself by wearing underwear and the proper way of scrubbing one's self down when it comes shower time. Did you know that they were only allowed three minutes to rinse themselves off because they didn't have the extra water where he grew up?

But he's making up for it now, he loves to take a shower in the mornings, in the evenings whenever he wants to. He's so polite and gentle if you did not know he was a human, you would mistake him for a genman.

Okay Brody now that we know that, we can keep a closer eye on this person of interest and Sam. Now off to bed with yourself.

Brody walked into the bedroom; Benny knew his little brother had been up to something but he couldn't jump him in front of Sam.

Sam headed to the shower and Brody filled Benny in on conversation that he had with Benjamin. Benny was relieved that someone else besides the two of them knew what was going on.

The three were lying in bed when Sam spoke. I want to ask you to a question, what you think that Chip guy has been so nice and polite to me and coming over the table every time I'm at the food court.

I don't know Sam maybe he wants to be your friend or something replied Benny.

Yeah, that or maybe he wants to get to know him very well because he's got the hots for Sam, blurted out Brody.

Hots for me but he's a dude I'm not interested in guys, I ain't gay.

Benny cleared his throat. Sam, I don't think you really understand yet what it's all about. Chip isn't gay either he's a carrier. When the right male comes along and they come to an agreement physically and verbally and hormonally he will accept them and he will conceive a child and carry it until it is born. If I'm not mistaken, he finds you acceptable as a potential breeder for him.

Wait a minute Benny you mean to tell me that he is trying to put the moves on me or something?

I wouldn't say he's trying to put the moves on you, but through body movements and gestures that you're oblivious to he is letting you know that you were top on the list when he comes in cycle.

That ain't going to happen, I'm not going to go sticking anybody in their butthole. I don't play that game.

Sam, on a genman it's called a vent, waste product is expelled every morning from another orifice and the vent is flushed naturally by us. We will produce a product which is called slick when it's our cycle time, it will be full of pheromones and hormones to attract a mate and to facilitate the joining of the two in a mating process.

Benny, I'm not following you I don't know what you mean.

Maybe I can explain it to you in a basic way since Benny is getting too technical. When is our time we get hot and horny get wet bend over and let you plow us, when you release your seed inside of us, we get pregnant and we carry it to rebirth nine months later end of story? What do you think happened to Madison, it was his special time in the Goran race he allowed another to enter his body and leave his seed creating a child?

Brody I still would have a problem getting behind another guy and putting my thing in his vent.

Sam it's called your Dick, and when you get hot and horny just like any other red-blooded human you going to fuck something or somebody and you will put your Dick where it needs to go. If you don't want to be a father to a hybrid, I would suggest you borrow a couple of condoms from Benny because his nightstand is full.

The boys spoke back and forth for several hours' questions were asked and answered between the three.

The next morning everything was going back to normal for the most part for Madison but it would still be a couple of days before he returned to work full-time. Mr. Zach made a point to come by and told him not to rush anything his health and the safety of that baby that he was carrying was number the one priority.

Benjamin and Madison called Madison's parents and asked them to stop by for the announcement, it wasn't the smoothest transition for Earl. Shannon on the other hand knew the drill and did not hold it against his son because it was inevitable but Earl did not take it easy, he demanded to know who the father was for he could rip his nuts off. But that was never going to happen.

Ben decided that it was time that he and Zack went to the back to see Ranger's new baby and meet the father. The man had to be something special for Ranger to want to raise this child since he had birthed seven others for other couples to raise.

Tim and Jonathan pulled up to the main house, introductions went around and Ben was delighted meeting Jonathan Argola for the very first time, Zach still had his reservations because this human was so different from anyone he had ever met. He was from the time or time, but the more Jonathan spoke about the earth that he left the more Zach wanted to hear.

Jonathan set in the back with Zach and they spoke as he began to the front passenger seat as Tim drove.

The road was still plenty rough and Ben made a comment that this never do and corrections would be made because this was the Z1 and they were better than this. Tim agreed with his dad and assure him that a crew would straighten out the road.

We have to fix this road because will never get those two new cottages down here if we don't.

Ben looked at his son, and want to cottages are we speaking about?

I take it that you haven't been reading the updates since you've been back?

Stop this buggy right now young man and you tell your father and I exactly what that hell is going on back here we get there. I don't want have to tell you that I'll shut the place down and move everybody off of the back section but I damned well will.

Tim knew that his dad was not happy and it was going to take a lot of Ass kissing to get Ben Spinelli in a better mood.

Jonathan spoke up, Mr. Spinelli I appreciate everything that you have done for me here on the main ranch but I requested a small cottage for myself to be placed in the back near where Ranger and Graham are living. It doesn't seem like a very big deal in the long run because someone else can utilize the one that I got on the main ranch here. The time that I spent outback and helping Ranger deliver the child it was phenomenal.

It reminded me of my place back home where I was raised, simple and basic but safe. And there's safety in numbers. As far as the second cottage you have to talk to someone else when we get there. I can't speak for the other person nor would I ever because that is his affair, and it's between you Mr. Zach and the other party. With three families out there it three cottages sitting side-by-side if something happens there's always someone to help out.

After having to defend the house from damage from the Racknars at night I understand why Ranger was concerned about raising a child there, but he doesn't want to live on the main ranch either he likes peace and solitude, Graham just loves Ranger for who he is and wants to protect his family.

I've heard enough, Tim let's go out to meet the baby and we will sit down and have a long discussion when we arrive. Zachary Spinelli not a word out of you because you're not gonna talk your magic and try to change my mind.

Yes, dear whatever you say, I will listen to the discussion with an open mind and we can make a decision about families here in the back. I know that Robbie raised his family out there and it was tough but he did great.

Tim took off in the speeder once again and they made the quite long trip to the backside of the Z1. Tim pulled up to the lone cottage, there had been a whole lot work you could see where damage to the exterior of the home had been repaired the perimeter fencing was already started around the back section protecting the storage shed areas. Setting in a rocking chair, rocking a small wee babe was Ranger. He was contentedly watching the construction going on around the house.

Ben was the first one out of the speeder. Ranger just what in the hell did you get yourself into now? I knew you were headstrong and hardheaded but to have a child out here in the back all by yourself if certain individuals had not arrived when they become concerned, you could've died having the baby.

A very nice young genman walked up beside Ranger and placed his left hand on his shoulder. Sir the fault is mine, I was supposed to be back three-weeks prior to the time that I arrived but I was upheld trying to help others and almost was captured. I would never do anything to Intentionally place Ranger or our son in any danger.

Ben looked at the man, and studied him intensely walking around looking him up and down. Then he spoke; Ranger I can see that you have chosen wisely the person to father this child that you are keeping, do I since that you two are going to be bonded mates and we can expect other children.

If it's meant to be Sir yes, from the very first time we met I knew that Graham held something special for me. With the new sensors on the rear fencing and his tracking device being removed and relocated to a different section of the planet I don't believe we will have a problem from any trackers or raiders.

Now I understand why it was decided to place two more homes here in this area but who is going to live in the third cottage?

About that time Halbert and Hoyt came out of the cottage carrying a large tray of glasses filled with Coolwater. Mr. Ben Sir that would be us we will occupy the third cottage if it is clear that we are allowed to stay together.

Ben and Zach looked at this strange young man that stood beside Halbert their head of security and wondered where the hell did, he come from and why was he wearing wrist bindings.

Young man would you like to explain your bindings to the two of us since we own the Z1 and you are here on our property?

I am a tracker that was sent here to retrieve 1324 now known by the name of Graham, I until recently was under the control of the consortium. My chief job was to locate escapees and return them to the consortium. For that I was rewarded by being allowed to carry.

The night that I showed up here I had tracked by pure luck 1324, I was very good at my job and if I had not been good, I never would have found his trail. His tracking device was no longer operational but I knew 1324 Personally. Your son and 1324 along with Jonathan took me down with a Taser. When I came to my tracking system that I was implanted with had been removed and sealed in a lead lined container so that no one could find me.

Due to the hormone and pheromone levels in the home after the birth of the child and Rangers own impending pre-cycle for the first time in my life I was starting to cycle. I begged them to take a prefilled syringe and vile and give me an injection to stop it.

When Halbert arrived and took over he refused to let me take my preventative and I started my first cycle ever. Though I have birthed twice I've never had a cycle before now. Halbert gave me the name of Hoyt instead of my designation by the consortium of 1477.

Since being here and allowed to be as nature intended genman I never want to go back and I will serve as Halbert's mate when he is ready to place a child within me. So, the third house is for us if you so allow it if you wish to remove me from the Z1 and dump me in the city I will be eventually found by the consortium and dispatched for my treasonous act of getting caught.

Ben looked directly at Zach, and in fact he was pissed often Zach had ever seen him in his life. Zachariah Spinelli this is the Z1 ranch, we started to build a future and one is here no genman is ever turned away from the Z1 unless the Council places them off of the ranch for the safety of all. You can think what you wanted thinking you can make your decision if you want to make one but as far as I'm concerned fuck the consortium and I want to take them Bastards down. As a race we have coming to far to be enslaved again we must work with the GBI and all of the information that we can gather from Hoyt and Graham will go a long way to taking these muther fucking son of a bitch's down so that no genman ever suffers again.

I would like to speak to Graham and Hoyt inside the house alone, Halbert remove these binders does not need these anymore.

Halbert remove the bindings and the three went into the home so that Ben could talk to the two newest residents.

Ben listened to both of their stories, he was hurt, appalled and furious at what he learned. Graham had seven children that he never knew, impregnated by who he had no idea it was all done in the service of the consortium, likewise Hoyt had birthed twice father's unknown in children taken away right as they exit his body. He was given shots to start and stop the gestation process this was a crime and there was going to be someone who would pay and it might even be a final payment.

A visibly shaken Ben walked back out and walked up to Zach and asked him if they could walk to the back and talk with each other.

Graham and Hoyt both stood by their mates as they watched the Spinelli's walk away.

Ben and Zach were gone for quite a while, Tim had never seen his dad so upset and he knew his father would be equally upset once the truth came out. There would be no doubt consortium's days were numbered, and to say heads would roll would be an understatement.
