Things went along swimmingly for several months. Daniel and Richard met for sex whenever both parents were out of the house. Then things changed.
Steve, Daniel's father, had a heart attack! They were so far out in the boonies that by the time the ambulance got to the farm, he was gone. The rest of the week was occupied by funeral arrangements. Steve was buried behind the farmhouse on the farm he loved. Richard consoled Daniel, but there was no one to console Daniel's mother, Amelia. To deal with her grief, Amelia threw herself into church activities. Life returned to as normal as possible. Luckily, Richard and Daniel were able to run the farm.
Over the next few weeks, Daniel taught Richard all about male-to-male sex. Richard was amazed when he was fucked for the first time. They settled into a relationship when Amelia was out of the house. Then Daniel got careless!
After each time they had sex, Daniel would gather the detritus of the "cleaning out" process, and place it in the outside garbage while Amelia was out. One day, Daniel forgot to remove the evidence. When he remembered, he went into the bathroom and discovered that the packaging of the ennemas was gone from the bathroom. He was filled with dread!
He went down to the kitchen and discovered his mother drinking a cup of coffee. The used ennemas were on the table in front of her. She had added two plus two, and realized that there was more to the relationship between Richard and Daniel, than she had thought. Daniel observed his mother and the used ennemas. He realized that she knew, and he had to talk with her. He got himself a cup and the pot of coffee. He filled his cup and refilled Amelia's cup. He returned the coffee pot to the base unit. He then sat down at the kitchen table and with a hollow feeling in his stomach, he waited for her to talk. After a while Amelia said: "Are you and Richard having a homosexual relationship?"
Daniel said: "Mom, I can't lie to you! Yes, Richard and I are lovers. What are you going to do abou?"
Amelia replied: "I don't know.The preacher says it is wrong!" There was silence in the kitchen. Daniel realized that he could not say anything else. He stood, put his coffee cup in the sink, and started upstairs. As he went up the stairs, he began to cry. He started to go into his room, when Richard came into the hall. He took one look at Daniel and knew something was wrong. He asked: "Daniel, what's wrong?"
Daniel replied: "She knows! She knows about us!" Daniel quickly filled Richard in on how she had found out.
After a few moments, Richard said: "I'll go talk to her!"
Daniel said: "I don't think that will do any good!"
In an uncharastic way, withsteel in his voice, Richard replied: "It won't hurt!" At that point, Daniel went into his room and threw himself on the bed. Richard went down the stairs to confront Amelia He went into the kitchen and saw Amelia reading her bible. He got himself a cup of coffee and sat in the chair that had been,so recently, been occupied by Daniel.
He waited until Amelia looked up and she said: "What do you want?" The contempt in her voice was so thick you could almost cut it with a knife. She went back to reading her bible.
Richard wondered what was the best way to approach Amelia. After some thought, he said: "So you love him, too?
Amelia looked up from her bible and said:"Yes, I love him. He is my son! For 9 months I had him inside my body!"
Richard wondered what to say. Then it came to him. He remarked: "I love him too. Since the first time I saw him in High school." There was silence in the kitchen, then Richard remarked: " You have two choices. You can go on the way we have been going. The other choice is to throw us both off the farm; knowing full well that that would kill him. You know how much he loves this farm."
Amelia turned a page in her bible, then looked up and made eye contact with Richard. She said: "The preacher says homosexuality is anathema! I have read the words of Jesus. Nowhere does He condemn homosexulity."
There was a pause while she took a drink from the coffee cup. She then said: "I have already come to the conclusion that Daniel would be a bachelor all his life. I am resigned to the fact that I will have no grandchildren. I am old and this farm will go to Daniel when I am gone. I only wish for Daniel to be happy! From what I can tell, you are his happiness. As long as you don't flaunt your sexuality in front of me, I will function as we have functioned. I will make no attempt to break you up or turn Daniel straight.
"I don't not know what others will think if the true nature of your relationship becomes public knowledge. I will tolerate your relationship as long as nobody knows. "
Richard realized that the conversation was over. He had to go upstairs and tell Daniel.
