Matt was still antsy. “But I was going to spend the night. I could have gone to the store with him. Is Papa mad at me?”

Barbara lifted his chin. “Oh no son, he’s not mad at you. I bet you haven’t repacked your bag now have you?”

Matt turned a little red. “Um well no ma’am, I haven’t.”

She gave Matt a kiss on the head and a little swat on his butt. “Then I suggest you get that done. Miguel said he’d be home in about an hour.”

Chapter 62

Matt hurried and went back inside the house and packed some clean clothes while I went to pick up Gerald. I had the address but it hadn’t dawned on me just how close they lived to me. I parked the Blazer then went up to the door. I was surprised to see about a dozen garbage bags littering the front yard. I knocked on the door and Gerald was standing there with a huge smile on his face. “Hi Papa, come on in.”

As soon as I entered he gave me a big hug. I hadn’t heard Ida come in until she spoke. “Hi Miguel, please excuse the mess outside.”

Gerald let me go then gave me a quick kiss on the cheek. “Papa, do you think Matt can come over?”

Ida rolled her eyes. “Son, remember what we talked about. You both have school tomorrow so I’m sure he’s got things to do.”

Gerald sighed as he headed towards his room. “Yes Mom. I have my things all packed. I need some help please.”

“I’ll be right down there son.”

As soon as he was in his room, Ida and I talked. “I’m sorry Miguel but he’s been floating since he knew he’d be able to see Matt again.”

I giggled softly, “Matt’s the same way about Gerald. I do have a question I need to ask. How would you feel if Gerald turned out to be gay?”

I could see her start to get angry. “Dr. Sanchez I’d love my boy just as much as I do now so just what is that supposed to mean.”

I put my hand on her shoulder. “Calm down Ida, I’ve raised 2 sons who are gay so that doesn’t bother me in the least. I know you’ve said you support him but I was wondering if you were hoping it was just a phase or something.”

I could see her relax a little. “No Miguel, that doesn’t bother me at all but I do feel better in knowing he’s with someone who knows how to deal with all the issues.”

“I can’t say I’m an expert but he too will have my full support. Now, I know 2 boys that are going to have a huge surprise. Matt was going to be spending the night because we both have to be in court tomorrow. Matt doesn’t know Gerald is my new foster son.”

She broke out into a huge smile. “God, they’re going to be so happy Miguel.”

Just then Gerald shouted out for me. “Papa, can you help me please?”

I smiled at Ida then went down the hall to Gerald’s room. I walked in and he had a large suit case sitting on the floor and another on the bed severely over stuffed. “My God son, how much did you pack?”

He went over to the closet and opened the door. “I didn’t pack everything Papa.”

I busted out laughing as I went over and rubbed his hair. “OK kiddo, come on and let’s get this thing closed.”

We went over to the bed and I managed to get the things hanging over the edges inside. I held the top down then motioned for him to sit on it. “Papa, are you sure?”

I nodded my head. “Sit on it and I’ll lock it quickly.”

He gingerly sat on it and we managed to get the suitcase closed. He hopped down then tried to lift it up. “Man, that’s heavy.”

I got the bag off the bed while Gerald managed to get the other. We went right out to the Blazer and I put the bags into the back. We went back inside so Gerald could say goodbye and give his Mom a hug. He went out and got inside to the Blazer while Ida and I talked once more. “I don’t know if he’ll remember to call tonight with Matt there but I’ll remind him.”

She hugged me and smiled. “Thanks Miguel for everything.”

I walked out to the Blazer and got in looking at Gerald. “Ready to go kiddo?”

He looked at his Mom who was smiling and waving at him. He waved back then looked at me. “Yeah Papa, let’s go.”

It took us about 10 minutes to get home then I helped him carry his bags into the house. Matt and I had cleaned the house before we left so the second bedroom was clean and the bed had clean sheets on it. We went right to his room and I put the bags on the bed. I opened the closet and pointed out the dresser. “You better get your stuff hung up before it wrinkles.”

He went to work while I went out to the kitchen. I called Barbara then put on a pot of coffee. 15 minutes later there was a knock on the door. Gerald was still hard at work so he didn’t hear it. I opened the door and Matt jumped into my arms. “Did you get everything you needed at the store?”

I smiled at him then looked at Barbara winking at her. “I sure did son. Go put your bag into your room then we’ll get dinner started.”

Matt started down the hall then stopped and came back. “Why’s my door closed Pop?”

I shrugged my shoulders. “Dunno son, did you close it on the way out?”

He scratched his head then shrugged. “Guess I did Pop.”

He walked down to his room then Barbara and I got ready for the reunion. “OH MY GOD GERALD!”

Barbara and I were standing outside the door. The boys were wrapped into a tight hug and both had tears of happiness rolling down their faces. Matt turned and saw us standing there. “Did you know about this?”

We were both smiling then Gerald was looking at me. “Umm, guilty as charged.”

I had to brace myself because I had 2 boys hugging me tightly. “Thank you Papa, thank you.”

I gave the boys each a kiss on the head. “Matt, can you help Gerald? He’s going to be living here for a while.”

He stared at his friend then lifted his shirt trying to check for cuts or bruises. “Gerald, are you OK? Did someone hurt you?”

I gently patted Matt on the back. “He’s OK son but he does have a bruise on his leg.”

Matt was staring at his boyfriend as his emotions spilled out. “Oh Gerald, how bad is it? Let me see please. No one hurts my boyfriend.”

Gerald pulled back and stared at him. “Matt, your Mom.”

Barbara walked over and put her arm around him and gave him a motherly kiss on the cheek. “It’s alright Gerald, I know about Matt and he really cares about you.”

Gerald looked up at her then over to Matt then hugged Barbara. “Thanks Barbara. My Mom knows about me too as you know so I really feel better. Do you really wanna see my leg Matt?”

Barbara pulled the boys into a hug. “Matt, I have your father and brothers to feed. Gerald, it was really nice to meet you. You and Matt can see each other as much as you want, even after you return home.”

The boys gave Barbara a hug then we all walked her to the door. We watched her leave then I looked at the boys. “OK, what would you like for dinner?”

Matt’s jaw dropped. “I thought you went to the store Pop?”

I started laughing then so did Gerald. “I think he dropped your Mom off then came and got me. Can we have KFC?”

Matt looked at me with those puppy dog eyes of his and he knew I was toast, “Alright boys but only on 1 condition.”

Gerald looked at me. “What’s that Papa?”

I smiled. “Well, there are actually 2 conditions. The first is you 2 get your clothes unpacked and put away.”

Matt was nodding his head. “Sure thing Pop, what’s the other one?”

Here’s the tough one now boys. You two clean up after dinner.”

Gerald’s mouth dropped and Matt just stared at me then gently punched me on the shoulder. “Oh Pop, you know we have a dishwasher.”

I was surrounded in hugs then I left to get dinner. I got a barrel of chicken, biscuits and two sides. By the time I got home, the boys were in the kitchen getting the table set. I set the food down then Gerald took me by the hand. “Come on Pop, I have something to show you.”

He led me down to his room. “How does it look?”

He and Matt had everything unpacked and they even set up some pictures he’d brought. “You two did a great job in a short amount of time. Let’s go and eat then relax.”

After dinner the boys headed down the hall. Matt stopped and looked at me. “Is it alright if we take a shower together?”

Gerald blushed. “It’s fine boys. Gerald, how hard is it for you to get up in the morning?”

“I normally go to bed about 10:30 and I’m up around 7. Mom says I’m easy to get up.”

I smiled then looked towards Matt. “I think you’ll be a good influence.”

“Dad,” Matt sighed.

I giggled. “I’m kidding Matt; you guys go get your shower.”

The boys went down the hall and I flipped on the TV.

Inside the bedroom the boys hugged each other. Matt just stood there looking at Gerald. “God I’ve missed you and man, you’ve grown.”

Gerald smiled and blushed. “Yeah I have and more then in my height.”

Matt smiled. “Oh wow man, so when do I get to see?”

The boys stripped to their boxers then got clean underwear and then went across the hall into the bathroom. Matt got the shower going then got a surprise when he stood up. Gerald had stripped but when Matt saw his leg he broke into tears. Gerald wrapped his arms around him. “Don’t cry baby, it doesn’t hurt.”

Matt looked up then gently touched the bruise. He saw Gerald flinch. “It’s doesn’t hurt huh? Has Pop seen this?”

The tears were really flowing down Matt’s face. “Yeah a couple hours ago.”

Matt stood up then took Gerald’s hand then kissed his cheek. “You’re right you have grown but now, come on, Pop needs to see this.”

I was watching the news when the boys came out hand in hand. It took a second but then I saw Gerald’s leg but it was much worse than when I first saw it. I went to the boys and Matt fell into my arms. The bruise on Gerald’s thigh was now turning purple. “Try and calm down son. Have you had your showers yet?”

They shook their heads as Matt looked at me. “I had to have you see this Pop.”

I kissed Matt on the head. “I want you two to get showered then I’ll put some ice on Gerald’s thigh; that will help the bruising.”

Matt took Gerald by the hand and led him down the hall. Once back inside the bathroom Matt hugged Gerald. “You look great down there love, you’re bigger than me now.”

Matt shucked his boxers then stood there for Gerald to inspect him. “You’re just as big as I am.”

Matt got the shower going then they stepped inside. Matt’s tool was at full staff. “Yeah man but I’m no where as big around as you are nor do I have as much hair as you do.”

Gerald ran his hand down through Matt’s fine dusting of pubes. “That doesn’t matter to me Matt. What you have is perfect.”

Matt shuddered and let out a soft moan when Gerald’s hand came into contact with his very hard dick. “I just don’t want you to be disappointed.”

Gerald softly grasped his boyfriend’s tool and started jacking it. “Nothing you have will ever disappoint me. I told you that there was more that I wanted to do with you and I mean it.”

Matt leaned his head forward as his lover continued to send him into sensory overload. After several more strokes, Matt began to shake as his body erupted. “Ungh love, oh gawd I’m cumming.”

Matt fired 4 shots of teen sperm on both of their chests. Gerald wrapped his free arm around Matt’s waist so he wouldn’t loose his balance. Gerald had some of his lover’s discharge on his fingers. He brought them up to his eyes and looked at it then touched his fingers to his tongue. “Mmmm, it tastes nice and sweet.”

Matt blushed then decided to show his boyfriend something special. Dropping down to his knees, Matt stuck his tongue out then licked the head of Gerald’s dick. Matt looked up and saw a smile on Gerald’s face. “I take it you liked that.”

Gerald’s eyes were closed but there was a smile on his face. “Oh yeah Matt, I like it a lot. That was something I wanted to do with you too.”

Matt dove back onto Gerald’s dick then began massaging his globes as he sucked. Gerald’s staying power was almost nothing as the sensations were quickly sent him over the top. “Oh, oh love, I can’t… ungh… hold back, I’m gonna… ungh… cum.”

Gerald fired rope after rope into Matt’s willing mouth. He took everything Gerald had to offer. He cleaned Gerald’s softening tool then stood. Gerald’s eyes were still closed so Matt leaned in and gently kissed him on the lips. Matt swallowed but left a little on his tongue. “Do you want to kiss again?”

Gerald leaned in locking his lips with Matt. He lightly ran his tongue across Matt’s lips and Matt opened his mouth so he could accept his lover’s tongue. They kissed passionately as Matt passed some of his lover’s seed over to him. “Oh man that was wild. Matt, I’m so glad you’re back into my life.”

Matt kissed him again the grabbed the soap. “Me too man now we better get cleaned before Pop gets worried.”

They quickly got washed then got out and started getting dried. I was wondering what was taking them so long but I wanted to get a photo of Gerald’s bruised leg. I got my camera then knocked on the bathroom door. “Are you 2 alright in there?”

Matt opened the door holding his towel. “We’re fine Pop. What’s with the camera?

“Gerald, when you get your underwear on, I’d like to take a photo of your leg.”

Gerald put his boxers on but they covered the bruise. I motioned for him to pull them up a little then Matt giggled as he left the bathroom. “Nice view babes.”

I looked and Gerald’s testicles were showing. “Fix your jewels son, then I’ll take the photo.”

He blushed a little but he did as I asked. I quickly snapped the photo and the camera spit it out. 60 seconds later, the picture developed showing the nasty bruise on his leg. Gerald moved his hand then came over. “Can I see it Papa?”

I showed him the photo then Matt tapped me on the back. “Here’s the ice pack Pop.”

Gerald looked and saw Matt in the buff. “Matt, do you always go naked?”

He giggled then took Gerald by the hand leading him out to the living room so he could put the ice on his thigh. “Yeah but if you’re not comfortable with it, I’ll put my boxers on.”

I got Matt’s boxers and handed them to him then I got a dish towel for the ice pack. “Matt, that will make Gerald feel better. Now Gerald, put your leg up and let me see that bruise.

Matt sat down then put a pillow against his leg. “Here love, you can rest your head on my leg.”

Gerald got comfortable then I eased the leg of his boxers up so I could put the ice on it. I’d wrapped it in the towel so it wouldn’t be such a shock. “Oh Papa that’s cold.”

Matt reached down and started rubbing Gerald’s chest. “Close your eyes and try not to think about it baby.”

Gerald looked at me and tried to smile. “It’s c… co… cold Papa.”

I went into the linen closet and found a thicker towel. I removed the ice bag and rewrapped it then put it back onto his leg. “How’s that now? It’s going to get cold and that’s important because it’ll stop the bruise from getting worse.”

“That’s better Papa, thank you.”

I left it on him for 15 minutes then took it off. I gently felt his leg and it was cold. I got into my recliner while Gerald stayed in Matt’s lap. At 10:30 I looked over and both boys were sound asleep. I managed to wake them up then they did their business and crawled into bed. I didn’t know if Gerald thought of himself as too big to be given a hug and kiss before going to bed or not but I knew Matt still wanted it. When the boys were in bed, Matt sat up and reached his arms out. I want over and sat beside him giving him a hug and kiss. I looked at Gerald next. “Are you too big for hugs and kisses?”

He shot up and almost jumped into my arms forgetting his lack of boxers. As I was hugging him, Matt patted him on his bare butt causing a round of giggles and Gerald to turn bright red. “I always sleep in the nude Papa.”

I kissed him oh the head smiling. “That’s fine son, my boys did the same thing when they slept. Now I don’t want to hear any talking, it’s time for sleep. If your leg starts hurting during the night, let me know or have Matt come wake me.”

I watched them snuggle together then I turned the light off closing the door behind me as I want back out to the living room. I decided to make it an early night because I had to be up early to take Gerald to school so I could give them a copy of my foster parent’s paperwork. After doing my business I crawled into bed for some much needed sleep. Sometime during the night I felt a tapping on my shoulder. “Pop, Gerald’s crying. I think his leg is hurting.”

I managed to get the cobwebs out of my head then followed Matt over to their room. I went around and sat beside Gerald then gently wiped the tears off his face. “What’s wrong son?”

He sniffed a couple of times. “My leg is hurting Papa.”

“Close your eyes so I can turn on the light boys.”

I waited a few seconds then turned on the small bedside lamp. I lifted the covers and looked at the bruise on Gerald’s leg. It didn’t appear to be any worse but it was obviously causing him a lot of pain. “Let me look in my office to see what I have son. I’ll be right back.”

I went into my office and looked in my cabinet. I saw some muscle relaxers so I got the key and unlocked the cabinet. I took one of the pills breaking it in half and got him an extra strength Tylenol then stopped and got Gerald a glass of water. Matt was cuddling his boyfriend when I returned. “Did you find something Pop?”

I nodded my head then handed Gerald the pills. He took the pills then washed it down with the water. When he handed me the glass, I brought that back into the kitchen then returned with a yellow plastic jug. Gerald looked at it then up to me. “What’s that for Papa?”

I smiled then sat it on the bedside table. “That’s your bathroom until the morning.”

“My what,” Gerald asked as Matt started giggling.

Matt hugged his love. “It’s a urinal and you pee in it. I had to use one when I was in the hospital.”

Gerald was 4 shades of red. “I can’t use that Papa.”

Matt reached over and got the jug then tossed back the covers so he could put on a little practical demonstration. “Sure you can love, it’s easy.”

Matt spread his legs and set the jug in between them. After lifting off the lid, he slid his tool inside. Matt’s tool started getting hard causing Gerald to laugh. “OK, now how are you gonna pee?”

I reached down and took the jug from Matt then put it back on the table. “Normally when you have to go, it doesn’t get hard but if it does you’ll have to relax and let it go down.”

Gerald reached over and rubbed Matt’s dick. “That’s gonna be hard with Matt here.”

I leaned down and kissed both boys then turned the light off. “I’m sure you 2 will figure out a way.”

I closed the door and went back to my room. I knew that pill would put Gerald into lala land but now I was concerned about him going to school. I decided to wait until the morning and see how he felt.

My alarm went off at 6:30 so I got up, emptied my bladder then put on the coffee. After doing that I went to check on the boys. I saw Matt watching Gerald as he slept. He saw me standing there so I put my finger to my lips in a sign to remain quiet. Matt gently got out of bed then grabbed his boxers on his way to the bathroom. I returned to the kitchen then Matt joined me. “How did he sleep after taking the pill?”

Matt hugged me. “Just like he is now Pop, like a baby. Will he be able to go to school?”

I was about to answer when I heard Gerald shout. “PAPA, MATT where are you?”

We both hurried down to the bedroom and Matt quickly hugged the scared boy. “We’re here babe, we were letting you sleep.”

Gerald was still a little groggy from the pill so I knew he wouldn’t be able to handle going to school. My next problem was who would stay with him while Matt and I were in court. “I feel a little weird Papa and I got scared because I wasn’t sure where I was.”

I sat down beside him. “The grogginess was from one of the pills I gave you. How does your leg feel?”

“It’s still hurts Papa but it’s not as bad as it was.”

I moved off the bed and held my arms out. “Let’s see if you can walk, I’m right here if your leg starts to hurt.”

I moved the covers out of the way and Gerald put his feet onto the floor. I took his hands then he stood. I saw him wince a little. “It’s still sore.”

I had my answer as far as him going to school went. Now I just had to figure out who could stay with Gerald. I called Barbara. “Matt and Joey have the day off today Miguel, I can send them over to watch Gerald.”

My prayers were quickly answered. “That’s great Barbara. I’ll have Matt help Gerald into the shower and get breakfast going while your 2 are on their way over.”

Gerald was sitting on the bed and I heard the tub filling in the bathroom. Matt came out and saw me standing there. “I thought a bath would be easier on him Pop.”

I went over and helped Gerald to his feet then assisted him into the bathroom. I lifted him into the tub then helped him sit down into the warm water. “Ahhhhh, that feels good.”

Matt hurried out and got each of them some clean underwear. “Pop, we can’t leave him home alone like this. Who’ll watch and take care of him?”

I gave him a quick hug. “Not to worry son. Matt and Joey don’t have classes today so your Mom is sending them over.”

Matt smiled when he heard that. “That’s great Pop and Matt can pick Gerald up and carry him if he needs to.”

Matt scurried back into the bathroom then got into the tub with Gerald. I stuck my head in and Matt was sitting behind Gerald with him in between his legs. Matt was washing Gerald’s chest. “Do a good job son.”

Matt looked up and me and smiled. “Oh I will Pop.”

Matt scooted back a little and I couldn’t help but see he had a major boner. “While you’re doing this, I’ll be getting breakfast going so don’t take too long.”

I left and went back to the kitchen. As I was passing the door, I heard a knock on it. When I opened it, there stood Matt and Joey. “Hey Pops.”

The boys were both wearing shorts but big Matt was in a sleeveless tee shirt. “Man Matt, you’re really filled out.”

The boys came in and I closed the door as Joey wrapped his arms around him then rubbed Matt’s crotch. “He’s filled out in more than just there Miguel.”

I giggled at his antics. “Your brother is in the bath with his boyfriend.”

Matt smiled. “I’m glad they’re back together. Come on Joey, let’s give little bro a surprise.”

I went into the kitchen and started scrambling some eggs while Matt and Joey went to surprise the other two.

In the bathroom, Matt was now drying Gerald who was sitting on the toilet. He helped Gerald up so he could dry his butt and legs just as he started to lose his balance and fall. Matt and Joey had just reached the door when big Matt saw Gerald lose his balance. He ran inside and scooped him up into his arms. “Easy man, I got ya.”

Matt smiled as he saw his brother but Gerald started to panic. “Hey you big goon lemme down, lemme down.”

Little Matt was rubbing Gerald’s arm, “Relax babes, that’s my big brother. He and his boyfriend Joey are going to stay here with you while Pop and I are in court.”

Gerald started to calm down. “I remember you telling me about them now love, I’m sorry I panicked.”

Big Matt smiled at him. “Not a problem dude. Matt, you didn’t tell us he was hot.”

Gerald was turning deep red. “Can you help me over into the bedroom?”

Matt put Gerald’s boxers on then Matt started to carry him out towards the kitchen. “Pop’s fixing breakfast.”

I had everything ready and on plates then the 4 of them came into the kitchen. Big Matt sat Gerald in a chair then took a seat beside Joey. While they were eating I decided to hurry upstairs and get myself a shower. I had just finished shaving when I heard a knock on the door. I stuck my heard around the door and little Matt was standing there dressed. “Are you about ready Pop?”

“I just have to finish shaving then get dressed. Give me about 5 minutes then I’ll be ready.”

I quickly finished shaving then got dressed. I came out of the bedroom and hurried out into the living room. Joey looked over to me as Matt gave Gerald a quick kiss. “The kitchen is all clean Miguel and if Gerald gets hungry, we’ll order in a pizza or something.”

Matt frowned then let out a moan. “Aww Pop, can’t I stay home?”

I went over and gave Gerald a kiss then ruffled his hair. “Sorry son, you know we’re needed in court.”

I went inside my office and got the bottle of muscle relaxers. I the other half from last night along with the extra strength Tylenol then showed them to big Matt. “If he needs them, I’ll take care of it Pop.”

Matt and I went out to the garage then hurried off to court. The drive took us about 30 minutes to get to the courthouse and another 10 to find a parking place and get to the building. We went inside then we had to find Vikki. She was coming out of the ADA’s office and spotted us walking down the hall. She started waving towards us pointing to the courtroom. We met outside the door and she smiled at us. “Are you guys ready for today?”
