Chapter 48  

One Last Christmas Present

After the young people went to get ready for bed, Tanner and I went to our bedroom, after saying goodnight to the parents.  I was working on my paintings and Tanner was reading a book.  The door to the bathroom opened and a naked Timmy entered into the room, “Brian and Tanner, Tiny Tim can’t get into the bathtub by himself and he can’t take a shower by himself.  He needs you guys’ help.”

Tanner and I went to be of assistance.  I looked at Tiny Tim, “Timmy, would you prefer to take a shower or a bath?  We can work it so you can take either one.”

“Could we take a shower?  I never get to take a shower, because no one wants to help me.  They put me in the bathtub so I won’t fall, and let me clean myself and then they come and get me out.  I could drown and no one would know.”

I turned to Tanner, “There's a plastic stool in the laundry room. Tiny Tim can use that to sit on while he’s in the shower.  I’ll get in with the guys and make sure they shampoo and condition there hair, well.”

Timmy giggled, “Brian and Tanner just want to make sure that our penises aren’t bigger than theirs.”

Tiny Tim was surprised when I shed all my clothes and was getting into the shower with them.  He frowned, “You weren’t kidding when you said you were going to get in with us?”

“How else and am I going to make sure your bodies are clean?”

I finished Tiny Tim, and helped him out, so Tanner could help him dry off, and then helped Timmy finish.  Since I was already in the shower, I took my shower.  As I was brushing my teeth, Tanner came and stood behind me and was playing with my penis, “You are commanded to not try to hide this little thing so I can give you your last Christmas present for today.”

When Tanner entered the room, he announced, “I checked on the two Timmys and they’re asleep.  I think it is safe for our private party to begin.”  He locked the door to the bathroom and the hallway.

I had no ideal for sure what was happening, so I decided to be passive and let Tanner be in charge.  He started kissing me, so our tongues were dueling.  I don’t know why I had taken a shower because Tanner was giving me a tongue bath and kissing parts of my body that had never been touched by human lips.

When he finally really reached the treasure that he was searching for, it was primed and ready for whatever he was going to do to torture me.

It turned out to be anything but torture, and because of my inexperience, I couldn’t stand much of his oral stimulation.  I tried to push him away because I was about to release my body fluids. I was being wracked by tingling in my lower body even more intense than when I would take care of my personal needs.  Tanner didn’t even attempt to pull away until I finished releasing my body fluids.  I expected Tanner to go spit it out the deposit I had given him, but he didn’t. “Tanner, do you always swallow what is ejaculated?”

“Brian, that’s the first time that I’ve ever swallowed it.  There must be some significance to that”

I decided to repay the favor and of course I was totally inept, but Tanner didn’t seem to mind.  I could feel his body pulsing, so I swallowed what was flowing into my mouth.  When I was sure that Tanner was spent, I pulled away, “Does that mean we have to get married, now?”

As much as I would have liked to have remained naked and holding Tanner, I realized that was not possible, because at least one young boy would be suspicious if the doors were locked.  We got up and put on clean briefs and unlocked the doors.  I went to check on the boys and they were still sound asleep.

We were awakened by Timmy. “Guys, can we take Tiny Tim with us.  He wants to go.  We can take turns pulling him in the wagon.”

I shrugged my shoulders, “I don’t know why not, but make sure he is dressed very warmly, since he won’t be running like us, to keep himself warm.”

We met Merry, and it was a tight squeeze getting Tiny Tim in the wagon but we did it, and he was really enjoying being out with us.

After breakfast, Lauren, Merry and Morgan decided to go to Oakvlew, so Lauren and Morgan could spend their gift cards they received from us guys.  Dad reminded the girls that the Blackstones were arriving in the early afternoon.

I called the Jameson’s house to see if Carmody would like to come and play with Meredith and the guys.  The Jamesons were more than happy for her to come and play.  We made arrangements for Tanner and me to pick her up at ten o’clock.

When Carmody arrived, it was as if the four young people were oblivious to any older people being around.  Tanner and I went to start packing for the skiing trip in the morning.  This trip was going to require some skillful packing.  It was certainly good that ski gear was going to be waiting for us at the chalet.

At noon, Tanner and I went to see what the young people might want for lunch.  They were easy.  They wanted a grill cheese sandwich and tomato soup.

Carmody had to go home at two o’clock, for an appointment, so Tanner and Meredith took her home. 

Tanner and Meredith had just returned when Morgan, Lauren and Merry arrived, Morgan started complaining, “I’ll never be able to spend all this gift card.  Wait until you see the neat outfits I bought to take to Swissland.”

Lauren, on the other hand, announced, “I was ready to come home after forty five minutes of shopping, thanks, guys. I was able to get some new things I’ve been wanting.  Where are the parents?”

“They’re still at the airport, picking up the Blackstones.  We need to see what we can fix for dinner.”

I looked in the refrigerator and there was big pot of something.  Mother had put a note on the top of the pot.  This is homemade lentil soup, for dinner.  I also have the things ready to make beef stroganoff.  The frozen salads are in the freezer.  I figured that you could take care of the rest of the trimmings.

I looked at Lauren, Morgan and Merry, “You need to go pack your things for our trip.  We’re leaving at eight in the morning.  Lauren, when is Derek arriving?”

“I invited him for dinner.  He should be arriving about five thirty.  Where’s he going to sleep?”

Timmy answered before I could, “He’s going to sleep in Ben and Grant’s room, with me.  It’s too crowded when four of us try to sleep in Brian, Tanner and my bed.”

The doorbell rang, and Timmy went to answer it.  When he returned he had a package, “It was the UPS man.  What’s in it?  It is addressed to Brian and me.”

I looked at him, “Well, open it, so we know what it is.”

Timmy opened it and he knew immediately what it was. “Brian, we won’t need this until morning.  I think I saw Daddy and Mother coming down the street.”

Sure enough, the garage door opened and Daddy and Mother were standing there with a couple about Dad and Mother’s age,  Timmy went skipping to Dad and Mother and hugged them and asked, “Are these Tiny Tim and Meredith’s daddy and mother?”

Dad hugged Timmy, “Yes, this is Doctor Herschel Blackstone and his lovely wife Doctor Reba Blackstone.”

Timmy shook hands with the visitors, “Welcome to our home.  Let me introduce the other people who are here.  I believe you know Tiny Tim and Meredith.” 

The twins went and shook their parents' hands, but nothing more.  Timmy looked at me as if asking, “What’s wrong?”

Timmy introduced Lauren, Morgan, Tanner and me as his brothers and sisters and introduced Merry as a friend of Lauren’s, who was going to be going skiing with us, in the morning.”

Doctor Herschel looked at Merry as he shook her hand, “Young lady, I’ve met you before, haven’t I?  Timmy didn’t mention what your last name was.  What is it?”

I held my breath wondering how Merry might respond, “Doctor Blackstone, I go by the name of Merry Black, but my passport has the name of Meredith Blackstone on it.  I haven’t seen you since I was two years old.  I’m the daughter you threw away.”

Talk about a stunned silence.  I took control and tried to spare Tiny Tim, Meredith and Timmy from what might happen.  I need your help in fixing dinner.  Let’s go see what we can find, and you need to set the table for thirteen people.”

The parents had taken the two Doctor Blackstones and Merry to the den and shut the door.  I could tell that Tiny Tim and Meredith were concerned by what was happening, Timmy asked me, “Does that mean that Merry is going to be our big sister?”

I hugged Timmy, “Tiny Tim, I don’t have any idea what’s going to happen.”

The parents, the Doctor Blackstones and Merry surfaced just about five o’clock.  Merry had obviously been crying, but no one said anything.   The situation was saved by the doorbell and I went to answer it, Derek was standing there, “Brian, I had no idea what to pack.  I’m going to rent skis where we are, because they were so unwieldy.”

“Derek, come in and meet our guests, and then you can help us finish dinner.  I walked into the living room and announced, “Everyone, this is Derek Cannon.  He’ll be going with us on our ski trip, tomorrow.”

Derek grinned, “Hi Mr. and Mrs. Benson, thanks for inviting me.  Doctor Reba Blackstone, you probably don’t remember, but you were the person who finally got me off all those unneeded drugs when my parents adopted me.”

Mrs. Blackstone nodded, “Derek, you were the person who made me realize that other psychiatrists have been prescribing medications to supposedly control their patients behavior.  I have found myself in a great many law suits, since I dealt with your problem and the American Psychiatric Association is after my license, because I’m making them look bad.”

Merry asked, “Mrs. Blackstone, would you evaluate the medications that I’m on, to tell me if my Mother was using drugs to control me?  I have the feeling that she has been, now that I know what a normal functional family is like.  I began to suspect that something was wrong, when I was going to have to stay at the school this year, over the holidays.”

Mr. Blackstone spoke up, “Meredith, you’re Mother committed suicide on the last Thursday.  It appears that she overdosed on drugs and wasn’t found by her maid, until it was too late.  I’m sorry you didn’t know.  The police have been trying to contact you, but didn’t know where you were.  It seems that your Mother left you a large sum of money.”

I looked at the people, “Merry, why don’t you and Derek come and help with dinner.  Dad and Mother and Doctors Blackstone, I suggest that you not discuss any of this during dinner.  There is no sense in needlessly upsetting the younger children with morbid details like these.”

As we were walking into the kitchen, Merry hugged me, “Brian, thanks for getting me out of there.  I was about to lose it.  Derek, please don’t say anything.”

Derek laughed, “I’m just a dumb high school football quarterback.  We don’t know nothing, do we, Brian?

 While I was busy intruding in the big people’s business, Tanner, Lauren and Morgan had the three younger people organized and dinner was ready when we walked into the kitchen.  Tanner announced, "We’re ready to eat if you people will tell the adults that they are to be seated.  Brian, I put some red wine on the table if any of the adults would like some.  The rest of us are having sparkling grape juice.”

As we were eating the scrumptious meal that Mother had started, Tiny Tim asked, “Dad and Mom, why can’t we eat dinner as a family like this, instead of you having to work all the time.  Is work more important than Meredith and I are?  We want to go skiing with Timmy and his family.  They love each other.”

Another moment of stunned silence was taking place in the Benson household, which was rare anymore.  Doctor Herschel Blackstone answered, “Timothy, we have to get you home.  You’re scheduled to have your final operation the day after tomorrow, to replace your other knee that you messed up when you were riding your skate board, without your knee pads.”

Timmy looked at Morgan, “Did you hear that?  We need to get knee pads before we can go skateboarding.”

Tiny Tim reminded Timmy, “You gotta have a helmet, elbow guard and some special gloves, to protect your hands if you fall.  Don’t try to be a hotrod, like I did.”

As we were finishing dinner which everyone consumed with great gusto, Mrs. Blackstone asked, I would like to visit with Merry and whoever are on medications, to evaluate what kind of drugs they are on.  Mr. and Mrs. Benson, you might want to accompany me while I talk to the young people.

Doctor Herschel Blackstone was getting the particulars of what had happened during the time that Tiny Tim and Meredith had been in the control of Ivan, Helga’s boyfriend.

Tim answered, “He didn’t try nothing funny.  We had plenty to eat, but Meredith and I were getting awfully tired of stopping at fast food places for breakfast, lunch and at night. I swear if I had to eat another McDonald’s Egg McMuffin I was going to choke. We even slept in the car.”

The conversation was interrupted by the arrival of John, Robbie and Ron.  John explained, “We brought our luggage, so it wouldn’t be so hectic in the morning.  We’ll be here by seven forty five.”

When I walked back into the living room, Doctor Blackstone asked, “How many people are going on this ski trip?

I shrugged my shoulders, “There will be 24 people.  Some are from here, our brothers and their friends from Ithaca will be joining us as will some friends from London and Paris.”

Mrs. Blackstone and Mother returned, and Mrs. Blackstone was frowning, “Hersch, you will not believe what your ex was doing to Merry.  I also think that Lauren was overdosed from having talked to her briefly.  Becca can explain my recommendations.  I’m guessing that this upcoming ski trip will do wonders to clear the air of any ill feeling.  Lauren is going to be the biggest obstacle.  I wish I had more time to discuss her case with her.” 

To be continued...

Editor's Notes:  Well, It does look as if things are going to be worked out satisfactorily, with regard to all the drug taking.  I was a bit concerned about Lauren and Morgan taking all those drugs, and then Merry taking them, too.  I am glad that Dr. Blackstone was able to intervene to reduce and hopefully eventually eliminate the drugs.  There are some people who depend on drugs to control certain chemical imbalance issues, but so often parents and school officials use mind controlling drugs to control children's enthusiasm or so called hyperactivity.  My goodness, these are children with tons of energy and curiosity.  We as adults need to let them blow off some steam, or they will become ill, in spite of all the drugs you can possibly prescribe.  

I just found out recently that many schools are either removing playground equipment or not installing it in new school yards.  They are also often totally eliminating recess periods at many schools.

I think that is a very silly idea. I could go on a rant about how we are keeping our children from learning to take proper precautions, since they won't learn to be safe while they go about their normal activities.

I hope there will be another chapter, soon.  I hope that we get to see more of Tiny Tim and Meredith.
