The stunned silence after Damien mentioned Freddy Foster's funeral was eventually broken by Jordon's mom Jennifer, who said, "While he was an evil man in later life he is your father Jordon, Veronica and he was my husband. He was a good man when you were both born and he helped to raise you and make you into the fine young people you now are. So I think we should have a funeral for your father, making it a very private one and we should all say our goodbyes."
She allowed all that to sink in before continuing, "I also think he should be cremated and his ashes scattered to the four winds."
"That's all well and good mom, just as long as his ashes are nowhere near this farm or community, the further away the better. As for the funeral I will go just to support you mom but I tell you now I'm only going so I can see him burn in hell." Jordon said his voice rising as he went on.
"Because of him I will have hatred in my heart forever. Just because he hated me by hating what he helped to create when you gave birth to me mom. I can never ever forgive him or anyone else who hates homosexuals. I can't help being what I am and don't want to change who I am because I love Geoff and want to be his lifetime partner." He reached over hugging Geoff who by now had tears in his eyes as did most of those gathered round the table.
"Go ahead and make the arrangements, the sooner the better but I for one want the coffin closed. I never ever want to see that evil man calling himself my father again." Was Jordon's final word.
Later that day Damien and Bentley said their goodbyes heading back to Toronto, promising to be back for the funeral. We have to go because of our work on the Triangle project but we will be in touch every day to make sure all is going well. Damien said as they kissed and hugged everyone.
Geoff's parents also headed back to their farm which had been neglected over the past few days and everyone hoped that things would get back to normal. That evening the two boys lay in bed wondering what was in store for them. The broken window still had to be repaired and a piece of wood had been placed over the gap. However, every time the boys looked up they could see the bullet hole in the wall above the bed. The mattress and bedding had been changed for the one in the spare room because the police wrecked it when they removed the bullet from it.
Sleep didn't come too easy for any of them that first night after the shooting. Especially in the boys room where they clung to each other all-night, not saying much but reliving in their own minds over and over what had happened the night before.
In the hospital where Martha was following his/her massive heart attack, Fred kept a bedside vigil as the love of his life slowly began to improve. Martha slept most of the time but when she was awake the both of them held hands and talked, "Fred darling, I'm so sorry for putting you through all this. I do love you but maybe you'd be better off with someone else rather than someone like me with a worn out heart."
Reaching across to kiss his lover Fred whispered, "Don't talk such nonsense, we are a couple and I intend for us to stay that way for ever. Anyway when you come home you'll need me to look after you and if I'm not around who'll be there for you?" They kissed and cuddled some more until it got late and Fred headed for their new home and a lonely bed.
Miles and Keith as soon as they got home to Texas called the farm to make sure all was ok. Jennifer told them of the funeral and about it being a very private and secret one but invited them to attend if they could make it. Miles said that Keith would be unable to, but maybe, just maybe he would fly up and support the family. "You're good people." Jennifer said. I'm so happy that Jordon was able to find people as nice as you on the internet. And Miles thought, if only you knew how close Jordon and he had come to having a sexual affair before Keith came on the scene.
Miles also tried to contact Fred to find out how Martha was. Luckily he had the old man's cell phone number and was able to chat with him at the hospital. The news that Martha was making a slow recovery was encouraging and both he and Keith hoped that this would continue.
The other good news came when Keith came home from work later that day to tell his lover that his promotion had been confirmed and was permanent, "Miles now that I have a lot more money coming in, we can live quite comfortable. How do you feel about making our relationship more permanent?"
Do you mean what I think you mean? That you want me to propose to you and make you mine forever?
"Well I know that here in Texas we can't get legally married, yet, but I think we should maybe exchange rings or something like that." Keith told him.
Miles grabbed hold of his lover, kissing and hugging passionately before getting down one knee. Holding Keith's hands and whispering almost so softly that his lover could barely hear him, "Keith my darling will you consent to be my lifelong partner and to love me always. If you say yes I promise to be yours and yours alone for ever and ever."
Pulling Miles to his feet and hugging him Keith replied, "Of course I will, I thought you'd never ask." Laughing they both kissed before heading for the bedroom where they undressed each other before getting into a position known as the sixty-nine. Taking each others very hard cocks into each others mouths they slowly licked and sucked up and down the others shaft before licking and swirling their partner's testicles around in their mouths. They continued this foreplay for some time before Miles began to use his fingers at the same time to loosen up Keith's butt hole. Keith in return began to moan and groan begging Miles to fuck him, fuck him good and hard.
Throwing his boyfriend onto his back and pushing his legs into the air he slowly entered him. Keith wrapped his feet around Miles neck before moving them down his body and around his hips, helping him with every thrust of his rampant cock.
This thrust and parry continued for a good forty five minutes until both of them were becoming exhausted and it was then that Miles began to speed up and finally shoot a load of hot juice deep into his lover. Totally spent they both collapsed one on top of the other kissing and declaring their love.
Keith had already cum all over his and his partner's body and they lay together as long as they could until the stickiness forced them to have a shower together. Of course this resulted in another cum session. Later after drying each other off they lay in bed totally in love and fully committed to what they both hoped was a lifetime together. Before sleep overtook them Miles arranged to meet Keith at lunchtime the next day so they could go together to buy the rings which would bind them together.
The workers returned to the farm while the two boys had instructions to stay away from them for now. Work was progressing well and Damien in his regular daily phone call said that he would soon be advertising for boys who qualified for admission to the farm project. He also told Jordon that he and Bentley would be there for the funeral to give moral support.
Veronica was working hard in the office as more and more donations flowed in. Also a few bills had to be paid out. Jennifer too had some great news from the insurance company the family had always done business with telling her that her ex-husband had a sizable policy and the money would be coming to her. This meant that the house in town could be paid off and she could buy a new car as well. It was decided at a family gathering that after they were married Veronica and Eddie would live in the town house.
Much to the two boys disgust home schooling of at least four hours a day began as well, which was hard to take at first because they had gone for so long without any schooling at all. Also Jennifer had arranged for a counsellor to talk with Jordon about the shooting of his father.
Geoff was especially worried for his partner and lover because most nights in bed Jordon would wake up screaming and in a cold sweat. While he was able to calm him down without alerting his mother who now lived with them, he was very worried about the bad dreams his boyfriend was having.
Their normal day was usually up early and out to feed the horses, milk and feed the cow, feed the chickens and collect the eggs. A crop of corn had been planted but for the time being Geoff's father came over to look after that. Eventually the guys living there would do all this work, but the arrangement with the seed company meant that some crops had to be planted straight away and the harvest sold through them.
After feeding the stock and so on the boys went in for breakfast which Jennifer cooked. By this time Veronica would have arrived for work along with Eddie if he was on roster with the security company.
Following breakfast the boys washed the dishes and then settled down for a couple of hours of schooling before breaking for lunch and to check on the stock. Following lunch they had more schooling before breaking for the day. Usually the two guys if they had time saddled up the horses and went for a ride before bedding down the stock for the night and having supper.
It was more or less a full day for the both of them and Jennifer tried to keep them busy and keep their minds off previous events. Sometimes Betsy and some other of their old school friends would come over and they would either take turns riding or playing ball. Betsy by now was well and truly hooked on her new boyfriend Brian who never let her out of his sight when Jordon was around. It was obvious the way she looked at him that a strong attachment still existed as far as he was concerned.
Likewise Geoff clung to his boyfriend at the same time giving a clear message to Betsy, `hands off'. Security was always on hand keeping a very close watch on the kids but nobody said or did anything wrong. Eventually at the kids suggestion a game of baseball between the youngsters and security began with the security guys getting beaten hands down by the younger one's. It all helped to improve the morale which was at an all-time low.
Jordon still couldn't bring himself to walk past the spot where his father lay when he shot him and always did a big detour. With all the rednecks weeded out from the construction gang work was progressing quickly. The builder asked them to tell Damien that in another week they should be finished.
Miles met Keith outside the local Texas Rangers headquarters the next day at lunchtime and they headed towards a local jewellery store. Choosing rings they both liked proved to be impossible with neither of them being able to decide. The guy behind the counter guessed right away what was happening and after a while when they had looked at dozen of rings he suggested lockets and chains. In fact half hearts which when joined made one heart and he suggested that they each wear half a heart with a message engraved on the back, "I suggest that each of you write down the short message you want to go on your partner's half heart and I will have them engraved."
Both of them finally agreed on the lockets thinking it was a great idea. Without the other one seeing what they wrote they both gave the shop guy the message they wanted engraved on their partner's half heart locket. The lockets were gold with a solid gold chain. The shop assistant told them it would be a couple of days before they would be ready and that he would give them a call. Once they had finished paying for their items they went to Subway for a quick lunch before Keith had to rush back to work.
The love between these two as they sat across from each other eating lunch was obvious. Several customers couldn't help smiling and pointing them out to those with them while others sneered and muttered under their breath, especially since Keith was in his Texas Rangers uniform.
Miles mentioned that he had been invited to Freddy Fosters funeral and said that he would like to go to support Jordon and the family, "We can't really afford for you to make the trip Miles but if you really want to go we'll find the money somehow."
Miles hadn't thought about the expense and reluctantly agreed with Keith that he would have to stay home, "I love you so much Keith and with you looking after the money we do live quite well. I would have spent everything long before it came in as you well know."
It only took a couple of days to arrange the funeral and everyone wanted it out of the way as soon as possible. Damien and Bentley arrived late the evening before and it was a sombre group who loaded into three cars for the thirty minute or so trip to the local crematorium. A car load of security accompanied them just in case and they were needed because word had gotten out and a group of media people were waiting when they arrived.
They all stayed in their cars with their faces hidden until security with the help of the local police secured the area and moved the press away, far enough so that they couldn't see anything.
The service itself was short and brief with no eulogy, just a few prayers and then the curtains closed and the coffin could be heard being moved away to the furnace. They had insisted that the body be burnt straight away and not left until the end of the day which was the normal practise when all the bodies put to rest are burnt one after the other.
Jennifer, Jordon and Veronica all cried and when Geoff asked his boyfriend why he said, "He might have been bad in later life and let's face it, that was mainly my fault for being what I am but I remember as an infant how kind and nice he was. He was a good dad to start with and I made him into a monster."
After that outburst he began sobbing hysterically falling into Geoff's arms and no one could console him although they all tried. Finally he calmed down apologizing to Geoff and kissing him passionately on the lips in front of everyone.
Once again the journey back to the farm was a quiet one. All of them were immersed in their own thoughts with Jordon and Geoff cuddling and clinging to each other in the back of Damien's rental car. Back at the farm it had been decided that a small wake would be held so everyone could have a few drinks and eat a grand meal before getting back to a normal life.
Jordon and Geoff managed to sneak and hide a bottle of wine taking sips when no one was looking. They ended up getting a bit tipsy and none of the adults could understand why or how that happened until the empty bottle was discovered the next morning.
Apart from the accommodation for the youth who would be living on the property a pig sty had also been built and the big occasion the next day was the arrival of six young pigs that would be fattened up for market before being replaced by others. Geoff's father suggested that a second sty be built when they could afford it and a sow purchased so they could rear their own piglets.
The plans for the farm were shaping up well and looked promising. All that was needed were the initial six youths who would make up the first intake and applications were already rolling in according to Damien, "I would like to have a selection panel of three which would be myself, Jordon and what about you Jennifer, after all you will more than likely be involved with their schooling depending on the age."
Jordon was shocked and surprised that his name was mentioned to be on the selection panel and queried this with Damien, "This is your idea and your baby so why shouldn't you have some say in who comes and lives here?" Jordon thought about it and had to agree with the man.
The only other excitement of the week was the arrival of two more cows that were just about to calve, so that a couple of babies would soon arrive and eventually more milking would need to be done. A contract had been made with a local diary to pick up excess milk for more revenue and a milking machine was being purchased as well.
The other big news was that it was only two weeks to Veronica and Eddie's wedding and the boys had to travel all the way to Saskatchewan to be fitted for their suits. While there, Jennifer had arranged for the both of them to talk to a counsellor which the boys were dreading.
In actual fact the sessions went quite well. The person they saw was a lady by the name of Monica who put the boys at ease right away before first seeing Jordon on his own. She managed straight away to get him to open up on what happened between him and his father and how he blamed himself for being gay.
She calmed him down by explaining that, as he already knew, he was born that way. It was his father's stubbornness that caused the problems. Eventually Jordon realized that she was right. Then they talked about the shooting with Jordon once again insisting that it was either him or me. Monica realized that this was a tough one and did her best to assure this young man that while what he did was to take another person's life, it was justified to some extent.
Monica didn't wholeheartedly believe in what she had told the boy but thought it best so that he wouldn't be traumatised for the rest of his life, although she did explain that he would never ever forget that fateful night. Jordon felt more comfortable in himself after talking to this lady for almost an hour as he went back into the waiting room to send Geoff in to see her.
He was only with her for about thirty minutes and she asked Geoff to support Jordon and watch out for him because it is going to take some time for him to get over what occurred. With Geoff by his side to help and comfort him it will be a lot easier. She then called Jordon back in and spoke to the both of them covering everything she had told them both.
They both left feeling happier and more contented within themselves. An appointment was made to meet with her again when they came back just before the wedding to pick up their suits.
Keith got a call a couple of days later to say that their lockets or half heart lockets were engraved and ready to be picked up. So once again he arranged for Miles to meet him for lunch.
Neither knew what the other had arranged to have inscribed on the back of their lockets so it was with baited breath they both went into the store. Keith received his first. He looked at the inscription and burst out laughing which puzzled Miles but it didn't appear to faze the shop assistant.
It was only when he looked at the back of his locket that he realized both of them had written exactly the same words, `to my one true love, now and for ever'. Without thinking who they were in front of, they both hugged and kissed each other passionately, causing the assistant behind the counter to blush.
They both apologized to him when they broke apart but he assured them that he was happy for the both of them. He wished them both all the best for a long and happy life together. What they did next made him blush even more as they both kissed him on the cheek before leaving the store.
Over lunch they decided that tonight they would formally exchange lockets and declare their love for each other. Miles suggested that they try to get Jordon, Geoff and Fred on Skype to witness the event, "but not what will follow I hope?" Keith said with a laugh.
As luck would have it after dinner they found not only Jordon and Geoff but Damien and Bentley on line from the farm. Fred just happened to be home with the good news that Martha would be home in about four days which they all agreed was great news.
In front of the computer camera Miles and Keith formally vowed to love and care for each other for the rest of their lives and to seal this vow with an exchange of half heart lockets. These they placed around each other's necks before kissing passionately for the others to see.
Of course sentimental old Bentley burst into tears and Jordon also had a tear in his eye when he realised that the man he first loved was now well and truly spoken for. After congratulations all around they broke the connection with Keith and Miles heading for the bedroom to consummate their vows. The others headed for bed with both Damien and Bentley feeling horny as did Jordon and Geoff who also made love well into the night. It was for the first time since the shooting incident.
A couple of weeks later just days before the wedding of Veronica and Eddie the first two applicants wanting to join the farm community arrived for their interview. Both of them had been recommended by a church agency who brought them to the farm and although they had travelled many miles to get there the two young guys looked quite fresh and excited.
It wasn't till they arrived and met everyone did they all realise that they were identical twins, Timmy and Jimmy. Both were a little bit on the young side but Damien explained to the others if we do accept them their age won't matter too much.
Their story which was told to the panel by the church social worker was a tragic one. They had been caught having sex together by their parents and when questioned they both admitted that they were attracted to boys and not girls. The parents attempted to have them sent to a church organization which was set up to change young people from homosexuals to straight one's which we all know is not possible.
This other church group rescued them and that is why they were now at the farm hoping to be accepted as part of the farm community. Jordon and Geoff showed them around the farm and chatted in general to them. Discovering that their parents were also farmers in Quebec Province that the boys knew a fair bit about what went on at the farm.
When they were shown the living quarters which were single rooms they were a bit upset, asking if they could be kept together in the same room, "We will have to talk about this with the rest of the interview panel." Jordon told them as they made their way back to the farm house.
Damien had decided that it would be best if they all sat around more or less in a circle rather than the two boys sitting in front of three people behind a desk. Veronica was on hand to take notes of the interviews and once again Damien suggested that they all talk to the two boys together.
Geoff, who was also allowed to stay but not take part went to get them. They looked terrified when they were ushered into the room but Jordon put his arm around the both of them. Taking them around the room introducing them to Damien, his mother Jennifer and even Veronica his sister, "Geoff and myself you already know."
After a few casual questions about their education and farming life the two twins loosened up and soon were chatting away, feeling more and more at ease with everyone, even the adults in the room. After about thirty minutes of questioning Damien broached the subject of their sexuality and why their parents took the action they did.
It soon became clear that not only were their parents totally opposed to homosexuality but really didn't want the twins anyway and were glad to have an excuse to get them out of the way. This made Damien very angry because he had seen this so many times before in Toronto and wished he could do more to help young kids like this.
Finally after all the questions had been asked and the answers given Geoff took them out to the kitchen for milk and cookies while the three panel members discussed what they would do, to accept them or not.
Damien opened up the conversation, "They are a bit young for what we had planned and Jennifer you will have your work cut out regarding their education, but what would happen to them if we didn't take them? They would more than likely be absorbed into the welfare system and who knows what."
Jordon spoke next, "I feel so sorry for them and know what they went through. I was lucky I had one parent who understood and was caring." He said looking lovingly at his mother before continuing, "They are adorable boys and already know a fair bit about farming and I don't think for one minute mom will have any trouble with their education."
He paused before continuing, "The one thing they have asked is if they can stay in the same room. Being twins and how close they appear to be I don't see a problem with that except we will have to redesign one of the rooms."
Damien said that shouldn't be a problem and then it was Jennifer's turn to speak, "I agree with my son I don't see how we can turn these two boys away. For sure they will be separated if they go into the system and I for one would hate that and it would devastate those boys."
So it was decided that Timmy and Jimmy would be the first two to be accepted into the project. The church representative who brought them was called into the office and given the news and it was arranged that in two weeks' time they would be delivered back to the farm to stay.
Everyone trooped into the kitchen were Bentley was trying very hard to fatten them up with all sorts of goodies. Both boys cried, then they hugged everyone when they were told the news that they were coming to stay. All too soon it was time for them to go and everyone went outside to wave goodbye to these two cute young boys.
Damien told them that another young guy was coming in tomorrow but he wasn't sure about him, "He's eighteen which is a little bit old for what we had in mind plus he appears to have a bit of an attitude problem, but I have given him the benefit of the doubt and decided to grant him an interview."
The young eighteen year olds name was Marcus and both of the boys took an instant dislike to him. He made it obvious that he wasn't going to be spoken to and questioned by someone a lot younger than he was. Jordon approached Damien suggesting that they don't even bother to interview him because he was totally unsuitable for the project.
Damien agreed and spoke to Marcus in private suggesting that it might be better if he tried to get him onto the triangle project in Toronto. This Marcus agreed with and he left the farm heading down to Toronto while Damien made the phone call for someone to meet him from the project.
The day before the wedding the two boys along with Eddie went back down to Saskatchewan to pick up their wedding suits. Jordon was to give the bride away in place of his dead father while Geoff was Eddie's best man.
The boys also had another session with Monica the counsellor they both saw a couple of weeks ago. This time Jordon felt more confident going in to see her. After a thirty minute chat she too felt happier with the progress this young man had made in getting over his father's murder, "You will always have your father's death on your mind and the events leading up to it. If you find it becoming all too much, get your mother to contact me and we'll talk some more, maybe over the phone to save you the long trip. Be assured Jordon there are a lot of people of your side and you are not and never will be alone."
She then asked Geoff to come in and join them giving both of them a pep talk. I suppose you could call it that before she wished them both the best of luck and commended them on the farm community for young gay people that they were establishing.
The next stop was to pick up their wedding suits and have a final fitting before heading back home to get ready for the wedding, which was the next day.
Veronica's wedding weather was perfect, bright sunshine with just a light breeze. The small church was packed with friends, well-wishers and a few who just came along to see what this family with a strange reputation were up to. Security and police did have a bit of a problem keeping about a dozen protesters away from the bridal party guests.
They were orderly enough waving anti-gay banners and shouting slogans. They didn't do much harm except attract the attention of the media who were out in force trying mainly to catch a glimpse of the Jordon and Geoff who were taken into the church through a side door.
Both of them looked resplendent in white tuxedo's. Bright blue bow ties and pocket handkerchiefs that matched the colour of the bridesmaids dresses. Veronica had two bridesmaids, one was a friend from Port Hope near Toronto and the other which surprised a lot of people was Betsy. While Veronica was a few years older than Jordon she knew and sometimes babysat Betsy and her brother when they were all younger.
Arm in arm Veronica and Jordon walked down the aisle at the start of the ceremony bringing a few tears from some of the congregation. Once he had handed his sister over to Eddie, Jordon went and stood next to Geoff who was best man. While this was against tradition he insisted that he wanted to be next to his partner. The only sad part was that Jennifer sat alone. Her parents were dead and she was an only child.
When the priest got to the part where he asked if anyone had reason why they shouldn't be married the door burst open and woman yelled "Yes I have".
To be continued.
Writers Corner. I just couldn't resist a cliff-hanger folks Sorry.
Another filled chapter with a lot happening. First the funeral which really was an anti-climax with not much happening and that is how the family wanted it. Then we had the progress at the farm with new stock arriving and of course the meeting of those two adorable twins who when they officially arrive will play an important part in this story I think.
The news that Martha was improving was good and hopefully he/she will continue to improve health wise and the two of them will be happy together, but then who knows.
Keith and Miles well what can I say, true love emerging between the two and may they live happily ever after, Or will they?
And finally the ending of the chapter what secret did Eddie have that he hadn't told Veronica or was it all a big mistake.
Well you'll have to wait for the next chapter to find out. In the meantime please let me know what you think of this and all my stories I do appreciate your comments good bad and indifferent.
Hugs

It was a smart move to have a very quiet funeral for Jordon's father. I am glad that they insisted he be cremated and that his ashes get strewn all over except for the farm. Smart move on Jordon's part.
I was glad that Jordon realized that his father was not always like he was before his death. That there were times early on in his life that he was loved by this man. It is a shame that his father so hated homosexuals that he would rather his own son be dead than be allowed to live as a homosexual. Something Jordon had no control over.
I enjoyed Keith and Miles process for committing for life to each other. It was a great idea to use Skype to share the moment with their other gay friends. It was also nice to see that they both used the same words for inscribing onto the pendants each bought for the other. I was glad they kissed and hugged in public.
I think the twins are going to be a very large part of this story going forward. I can see problems from their old church and their parents. Even though they did not want them anymore, I think there is a possibility for lots of trouble in the future. This is purely my guess as Trevor does not share with me his thoughts before he writes a chapter.
Now, the wedding was beautiful until the cliff hanger. So hang in there guys and stay tuned for the next chapter in this fantastic story.
Remember to let Trevor know your thoughts, good and bad.
So for now, have an awesome day...
