The Z-1 Ranch

The Z-1 Ranch CGW©

After receiving the communications from Griffin, Jimmy wasn't really worried about their son but Marlowe was always concerned about Griffin after what had happened to Claxon, he knew that Griffin was just as vulnerable even with his considerable size.

Marlowe please don't worry about Griffin, we discussed everything that can happen while he's out in public and he locked his vent. Most young genman do not know this procedure to protect themselves but I taught our son well. Now let's get to our appointment.

There were a few papers at the clinic that needed to be filled out and Jimmy had no problem filling out the paperwork, Marlowe was at best apprehensive even with all the nice trimmings around the place he had heard how some of these ranches really treat genman and he was on guard. The three most important people in his life were here and if he had to defend them with his life he would.

Ben was walking to the clinic when he noticed the couple sitting there filling out paperwork and decided to introduce himself.

Excuse me I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and welcome you to the Z1. My name is Ben Spinelli, me and my partner own it. We have satellite ranches all over the planet now and we pride ourselves in professionalism. We like to think of ourselves is a big family here at the Z1 and everyone is always welcome here.

Marlowe looked Ben up and down. Since when do genman own anything much less place as grand as this.

That's a very good question and your answer is yes, I am genman I'm pure blood, my partner and husband is a human. This child that I carry is our latest one, if you stay the night and attend the concert you will see just how genman here have it compared to out in the human areas.

Here we live together, human, Human Genman hybrids and purebloods. We do have our problems at times just like any family but it's handled here by committees. My feet are killing me do you mind if we sit, so we can talk?

My husband has been here since he was 10 years old, at 15 he was left this entire place when the old owner died. Over the years with the help of other Genmen it has been made into a home for everyone. Zack was raised by the genman here on the ranch and all he's known is harmony with a species of a different race. Me and him got together years ago we had one son, we had problems we split up we got back together we lost another son and we stayed apart for years, we both took new mates and produced a few children between us but we never forgot each other.

We adopted several children together, misfits, drop-offs and just general left behinds. Luther is our oldest child together he has five children of his own, he and his mate had children by others then they got together. Tim our second is adopted and we couldn't be prouder of him, he has a set of twins that when you go through the exhibits you get to see him through his progression of his gestation with the twins. They live with their father who is human and his mate.

Tim is taken a new mate and they are now expecting their own child and Mason is not letting Tim go anywhere without him that is one bonding that will stay and do the test of time. Only the death of one of them shall separate them.

Here we have the top-notch medical staff that is available in any realm inhabited by humans or Genman or even the now extinct race of the Goran. Even though we have one half-breed Goran here the purebloods are gone. Our hospital here is tied in with Hawthorne Memorial Medical Center in the city. We have a clinic in the Township that you passed before you arrived here on the Z1. Every satellite ranch and or farm that is hooked up here with the Z1 and the Hawthorne ranch has a clinic that is available to its residents and we have rotating medical in every location. We are very proud of the first Genman to ever be endowed with a medical degree here at the Z1.

I hope that this will ease your mind as you're going through the process of trusting us with the safe birth of your upcoming child. Is this your first one resists a multiple child?

Jimmy was the first one to talk; this is our second child Mr. Ben. Our first Griffin is in college in the human world where I teach as a coach nobody knows about him and his true lineage and no one knows about me so my visit here had to be kept strictly under the ropes.

Marlowe and I brought Griffin out here in the guise of visiting the museum and exhibits along with the school that you have available. I really don't know what's gonna become of him, he did get into a little trouble when he defended a friend and fellow student that was attacked by another classmate while in the showers.

For a long time, nobody knew anything but then when the word finally came out who the father of the baby was, Griffin let nothing stand in his way. Griffin was branded a Genmen sympathizer and was expelled for the rest of the year, so he's gonna be a little bit behind. When his friend returns, they will both be graduating together.

The human that did the deed was removed from the school by his parents and placed elsewhere to continue his education. It was much more to save face that way no one would know what happened to him in the hands of our son.

May I inquire from you what exactly your son did to the human boy?

Well let's say, him and a few of his friends caught the young man in the showers and showed him what it felt like to be violated, they might not have been able to break his vent open, but when Griffin's fist went up to his elbow, he definitely broke an asshole open.

Marlowe interjected; Yes Mr. Ben I'm still mad at my son, even though Jimmy says that Griffin was in his right to do what he did, I don't support violence.

I agree with you Marlowe, I don't condone violence but it sounds like the young man needed to learn a lesson and it sounds like your son did teach him a valuable lesson. I just hope his victim was okay after being taken.

Mr. Ben, I can tell you that Claxon recovered from the incident, he is now raising a son alone who has just turn one celebration old. He has a father that is very supportive of him, he is human but his dad has never been in the picture. He is determined to finish his education and raise his son, teaching good values no matter what. The biological father has nothing to do with the child and doesn't even know about him. I can't say that I agree with that but yet with what he did they didn't want the child to suffer. Little Augustus is a very bright and happy child well-balanced and I tell you what, I love him to death.

You tell me that Claxon has never known his dad.

No Sir never, he gave birth to him. I was the one that delivered Claxon and within an hour he was gone. No one ever heard from him again and we have tried to forget his name. No matter what the situation is a child never deserves to be abandoned by either parent especially his dad.

The door to the waiting area opened and there stood Rupert, the next patient. Jimmy and Marlowe Beard please come back. We're ready to see you now.

I guess it's time to say goodbye Mr. Ben, it looks like my numbers up.

Ben looked over toward Rupert, these are very special guest Rupert treat them with respect and dignity like you do everyone else any questions they have please feel free to answer anything they ask.

Yes sir Mr. Ben you can count on me to give them the best services the Z1 has at its disposal.

Now if you like to come back, we can get you ready for your exam, now which one of you is the patient.

Jimmy held up his hand, that would be me, I am the genman he's my human partner and spouse and father to our other child.

Rupert shook Jimmy and Marlowe's hands and show them back to the exam room.

Marlowe was impressed with the efficiency and the cleanliness of the clinic itself. He was amazed at all the technology that this place had its disposal.

So, Jimmy how far along are you?

Right about 5 ½ months Sir, that's when the condom broke. We tried to be so careful but things happen.

Yes, they do things to happen, life finds its own way that is very understandable. Now if you will go and disrobe in the dressing room come back out in the gown that is supplied for you, we will get a scanned going and we can tell it just exactly how many weeks you are and what it might be.

It's a boy they're 99.9% always boys especially in human and Genmen pairing.

That's what we thought this morning too Jimmy until one of our regulars came in here for a set of twins and gave birth to a boy and a girl. So don't count your Starbird's until they hatch. I hope to get a good scan that way I can tell the sex, but sometimes babies don't cooperate and are a little bashful.

Marlowe I never thought about that, what if we have a daughter how are we going to take care of it, Griffin was okay because a little boy is easy to take care of but a girl, I'm not ready.

Don't panic Jimmy, no matter what it is as long as it's healthy that's all I care. When it comes the day to deliver and I get to walk out at delivery room with a healthy child and a healthy spouse that's all I care about. Your safety and the baby safety that's the most important things to me.

I could not agree with you more Mr. Beard, if more patients' spouses were like you, it would make my job a whole lot easier. There are so many times when they say surprise your pregnant, the partner can't get out the door fast enough.

Jimmy walked out of the dressing room and at his size the gown almost didn't cover up everything. Embarrassingly he set up on the exam table and laid back as a sheet was laid over his lower section.

Okay Jimmy I'm going to raise gown up a little bit to expose your lower abdomen and keep everything else covered up with the sheet. And I'm a tell you no matter how much we warm the imaging gel is kept it still feels funny. I personally couldn't stand it myself but hey it's what we do.

Now let's get you look at this little boy or little girl or whatever it may be.

Rupert put the gel on Jimmy's abdomen and took the imaging wand and laid over the area to be examined. He viewed on the small monitor first is always before he switched to the main monitor in case there was any surprises, he did not want to scare the parents.

Marlowe took a seat beside Jimmy so he could get a good look on the monitor himself of their new child.

So, tell me Jimmy how much weight have already gained in 5 ½ months of your pregnancy.

Nothing more than I did last time about 17-18 pounds. Last time I gained 70 pounds total but of course Griffin weighed 32 when he came out. My vent almost didn't recover, don't tell me this is going to be another monster baby.

No Jimmy this is not gonna be another monster baby by no means but what I do have to show you will explain a few things now if you'll view the monitor, I will switch the image up there.

Okay you'll notice right here in the upper right quadrant this is a nice size 5 ½ month old baby developing, and if you wait, I'll scoot it to the right just a little bit you will see baby number two, and a little further over is baby number three. When you have a blowout, you guys have a blowout. Congratulations it's triplets, I can't tell you what sex they are because they're all in positions that will not allow me.

Both Jimmy and Marlowe set right there with their mouths wide open. Marlowe was the first one to speak, Doc you are not joking with us there are three babies in his stomach right now let me get that clear.

Yes sir Mr. Beard your spouse is expecting triplets this time. With his body structure he will have no problem carrying them but he will get quite large so hiding this pregnancy much longer will not be an option.

Marlowe I'm so damn sorry, I'm so sorry, I can't believe this I didn't plan on this.

Marlowe chuckled; Jimmy, I love you and I love our brood that you're going to have but were going to have to make some changes. You're going to have to take it easy with the summer coming up and the vacation time that you have coming to you there be enough time for you to recover after the birth. But triplets are going to take a lot more of our time and concessions are going to have to be made. First of all, we got tell Griffin about the little ones. And as far as your job, I know you love your job and I love you but your health and the health of our children are number one.

So, you're not mad at me, I know we only planned to have Griffin and we had several close calls with him. But if the University finds out I'm fired and Griffin will lose his education.

Jimmy let me worry about the University, I'm not your normal cut rate attorney. I do know how to handle a bunch of old pompous assed windbags and since the genman and hybrid antidiscrimination act and equalization rights that was passed, I just them to try one fucking thing. I will tear the University down brick by brick. They start messing with my family and they just fucked up big time.

Rupert chuckled; remind me to get a hold you when I need an attorney. You never know Medical's medical and I go to the city all the time to Hawthorne Memorial Medical Center. They have a lot of good doctors that have been screwed over in the past because they treated genman and Genmen Hybrids against the rules of society but the Hawthorns backed them 100% in every allegation that was lodged against them. Who knows you might even get some work from Mr. Zach?

But we are all through here other than me printing you a couple of photographs to take home. So, if you want to get dressed that's fine and I'll meet you out in the front lobby.

Marlowe are you really okay with this?

Jimmy don't worry about anything; it's going to be just fine and as far as these babies are concerned, I am so damn proud of you. You have made me proudest man there is today. Now let's go catch up with Griffin that way we can drop the bombshell on him.

Rupert made a quick call to check and see if Mr. Ben was still in the area. He informed them of the couple's new dilemma and the fact that they were excited yet apprehensive about the triplets.

The Beards were a little surprised to find Ben still in the waiting area but this time he had been joined by another man.

Zach being Zach walked right up to Jimmy and hugged him big time and congratulated him on the great news. He turned to Marlowe and shook his hand and congratulated him on becoming a father once again but this time three times over.

Oh hell; where are my manners I happen to be in the area when Ben called me and told me all about you too and I just had to meet you. My name is Zachariah Spinelli though I go by Zach, together with my wonderful partner here Ben we own the Z1. I think this calls for a celebratory lunch and a private tour of the Z1 for you all.

Zach and I have rearranged our afternoon schedule so that the four of us can get some more information. Zach has this crazy idea that he can talk people into anything. We have a speeder here at our disposal and there's always the tram system. We tried is much to keep technology out of the housing areas because of noise levels and the children playing but sometimes we take a small shuttle tram around to view everything. If this sounds good to you both we can start your tour right now?

We are supposed to meet our son Griffin in the food court of the Esplanade at 3 PM so I think we have enough time for small tour, what you think Marlowe.

I couldn't agree more, I think it tour on the tram would be the best thing for both of our pregnant spouses what you think about it Zach?

I agree with you Marlowe, I do believe that this is going to be the beginning of a great friendship. I know business is off limits because Ben has already warned me but when we get through the two of us need to talk about legal items.

Okay, but right now it is enjoyment time I want to see this wonderful place that you two have built over the years.

Ben, you know as good as the food on the food court is I think I want to go to Constantine's for lunch. A good frozen malted would tastes so great plus getting to know their son might be good.

He said that he met a young genman and they're going to meet us at the food courts I believe his name is Dillard Edwards. I don't know what kind young man he is but Griffin has a very good sense about him detecting fakers. I personally believe he gets it from the Genman side but his father would disagree with you being the lawyer that he is.

Ben and Zach both laughed, as they show the couple to the exits of the clinic waiting out front was the personal tram of the Spinelli's. All four boarded the tram and it slowly took off down the pathway headed back to the main area of the Z1 family section.

The two couples spoke about everything, Ben spoke about the education classes for recently transitioned Genmen and humans that they've also helped. Zach spoke of the Museum, the University portion that was accredited and rivaled any human built educational facility on the planet, but what he most prided himself in was his library and he suggested that they might wish to look into it if there was time if not there was always tomorrow because there would be no hotel for them. They would stay at the main house as guest of the Spinelli's and they would have front seats tonight at the concert given by Zion.

Marlowe's eyes lit up when he heard Zion's name. How do you know that young man? He is such an amazing individual the way he plays the classics from all of the Masters works of old earth.

Zach chuckled; if you are lucky, you just might run into his great-grandfather Jarvis or even his father Franklin at the main house. You see everybody has secrets, and Zion is one of our best Secrets that we allowed to be shared with the world. It took a little bit to convince his father that he could obtain national reverence on Solaris 10. But the young man has proven everybody that had any doubt wrong. He went from playing here and in the main house where he was allowed to practice daily to entertaining the masses with the help of Madame. He is here for a very special engagement in our massive concert hall. For those who cannot attend the concert hall performance the amphitheater has been set up with projectors so that it may go close circuit and with all of the beautiful music to be accompanied.

Jimmy smiled; the Z1 is really something, I'm glad that I let Griffin talk us into this place he has been bugging me to come here ever since he found out about the museum and the interactive displays. Now show us around your accomplishments Mr. Zach and Mr. Ben.

Griffin and Dillard were having a great time at the Museum and enjoyed the interactive show with the one and only Tim the magnificent. They were in the recreation of the slave quarters when Griffin tapped Dillard on his shoulder and is he turned around and kissed him up on his lips.

Dillard did not break the kiss but in fact returned it with all the passion he knew.

I'm so sorry Dillard I should have done that, it was wrong of me to kiss you, but I've never kissed another Genmen or even a hybrid except my dad and father and they don't count.

Griffin don't be sorry, ever since we saw the interactive set all of one who do was kiss you and hold you in my arms. I don't know what the hell I'm doing, but with you it feels so right.

I know what you mean Dillard, I want you in the worst way. I can't wait to lick you from head to toe and spend time licking your sweet vent. And that was sweet because I can smell it.

Griffin all I want to do is get out of these clothes and let you run your hands all over my body as I run my hands all over yours. I want you to make love to me than after your through all make love to you. I don't give a damn about protection if I turn up pregnant with your child, I would love it so much. Having a part of you with me forever.

I know what you mean Dillard, my vent is itching like hell and all I can think is about is letting you get into it and make love to me, busting my vent wide open. I don't give a damn how much it hurts it would be perfect if I was to receive your child also.

The two broke loose for a couple seconds before they embraced and another deep passionate kiss. They were oblivious to the people around them, until one older genman whispered. Boys you need to take that to the rooms and you know which rooms I'm talking about ones across campus. Some people have young children here and they don't need to see all this passion going on, it may be natural but Mr. Zach doesn't like it not in public.

Dillard blushed; you're correct Sir I apologize for our indiscretions; we will take our leave now.

Dillard made a beeline for the conception rooms with Griffin in tow, he exactly what they needed to do and the sooner the better.

Griffin we need to get this out of the way, I have older brother that is an alpha and he said when these feelings hit you and you with that person that you intended to be with it needs to be taken care of. I will only carry if you will do I have your word on that that once you get through you won't run out on me.

Dillard to show you how I feel about you, and about us even though we just met I will go first and after you put your seed in me, I'll return the favor by placing my seed into you. If only one of us gets pregnant, so be it we can try again but if both of us end up carrying the same time that's even better. I'm not returned to college and be left at by anyone when my stomach starts to bulge with your child growing inside of it.

Griffin we have a great college here, it rivals anything that the human areas have. Will be expected to join the Z1's workforce and we can request a home of our own or at least roommate quarters that we will share with another couple who were in the same predicament that we are in, you know first timers no experience.

Let's go Dillard lead the way, I'm ready to experience the next step in my development as a hybrid genman.

The two boys were off in two seconds, both forgetting about their previous engagements that they were supposed to fulfill.

Marlowe it's almost 3 o'clock and Griffin is not answering his communicator, that is not like our son.

Well let's go meet him at the food court maybe has a lot of explaining to do.

Thank you, Mr. Ben, you too Mr. Zach, having the 20 something hybrid is a lot to keep up with. Keeping him on the straight and narrow, and focused on his future not his hormones has been a 24-hour day job for me here lately.

You're not the only one Jimmy, I worry about our son constantly too. Making the right decisions not getting caught in situation where something happens to him that he does not wish to happen. I just hope he's okay.

Don't worry about it I'll put all security staff on the situation and the boy will be located.

Thank you very much Mr. Zach you're very polite, I just hope he hasn't went done something stupid.

The Marlowe you got to understand with young genman Especially Hybrids they have a totally different physiology. Things are different for them when their time comes around, hybrids especially go into silent cycles and they can be rough at the best.

Jimmy and Ben were asking around the food court if someone fitting Griffin's description had been there it didn't hurt that Jimmy had a picture of his son. They stopped to speak to an older gentleman who was sitting with his family.

Yeah, I've seen him, about three hours ago I guess maybe 2 ½, he and some other young genman here from the ranch or get all hot and heavy at the end of the exhibit so I totally get a room it was allowed out in public. I don't know who was the hottest that boy are the Edwards boy, you know which one I'm talking about Mr. Ben the one that his dad just had twins.

Did you see which way they went? Last time I seen him they were headed to the conception rooms. Seem like they were an awful big hurry to get something done.

Ben grabbed up his communicator and called Zach, get over to the conception rooms it seems like young Griffin and young Dillard headed that way a while ago I bet you were too late whatever they're doing is already been done.

Okay Ben; Marlowe and I will head over there you and Jimmy's a calm and don't get to upset; we will bring the boys back.

Ben dialed up the conception quarters receptionist and give him the description of the two young men that were no doubt in the middle of something.

Receptionist came back online, yes sir we have to individuals fitting the descriptions that you have given me. They checked in 2½ hours ago, I asked them with a like protection to be supplied and they both refused. They claimed it was their destiny to be mutual mates.

Marlowe had a look on his face and Zach knew just what it was. Marlowe, I know you're the boy's father but you gotta understand he is of legal age and everything that he is done is legal. It seems that he and young Dillard who is approximate his same age are in the conception area they have checked into the Ponderosa suite. Both of them refused protection for as I know Dillard has always said that he was topping and nobody will touch him.

That's the same thing Griffin told us, he said he didn't mind what his dad was being a carrier but he would only be a breeder. I don't know what to make of this, I'm so sorry that our son is went rogue but he will pay dearly for his indiscretion if it is come to that.

Security monitors are on and from what the technician said both boys gave themselves to each other there was no forcing involved. We keep our rooms monitored just in case we have an incident where someone is rough with a visiting carrier and files a complaint against us. It seems like the boys who are now men by the way gave themselves equally to each other. Even with the best alpha's somewhat carry in certain circumstances, and in this situation, it looks like both young men are carrying breeders. What's done is done now we just have to coach the both of the boys through the most difficult part of their lives, becoming parents.

I'm not upset Mr. Zach; I am disappointed but I understand what it's like when you meet your destiny. Before I met Jimmy, I was all over the map, from the moment I saw him I knew I wanted him I did know what he was exactly but I knew I wanted him in my bed as my partner.

I some of same coffee shop for almost a month and was to chicken to go talk to him, he was always setting at the same booth area and everybody that came by and was making passes. There was one day that I remember fondly, this big guy huge musclebound freak was making passes at Jimmy and the matter what the guy did he never broke Jimmy. Jimmy just shook his head no and told the guy to leave. It pissed off the big dude he went off in a huff, I decided right then it was now or never I walked up to Jimmy and introduced myself to him and asked if I could refill his coffee. Jimmy looked up at me and smiled, it's green tea but I'll take a refill if you'll buy. I asked could I sit down beside him which he agreed to and before I knew it my arms around him and his head was on my shoulder.

He pulled back for me when he felt he was getting too close, he asked me not to hit him please and if I did, not in the face he had something that he needed to talk to me about. I was totally lost this point I did know what to say.

Jimmy started out; we hide in plain sight here in the city so that were not found out we try to blend in with others. I'll tell you right then there my mouth fell open, I, stuttered and asked him was he for real?

Jimmy answered my question by saying yes, I'm a real pureblood so unless you want to make a lifetime commitment I'm not here for a quick roll in the hay because nobody touches my vent until the right one comes along.

I surprised Jimmy by leaning over and kissing him passionately on the lips. I told him that I'd been waiting for him my entire life, we got up we went back to my apartment, we ended up using three boxes of condoms before we were finished. We were together for six years before Griffin was conceived, I'm 33 now and going to be the father of triplets. I am committed to Jimmy 150% I just hope the young man who is in there with my son is as committed to him as I am his dad.

Well, I can tell you one thing Marlowe, if your son is half the man that you are he will be just fine because he comes from a very good line of genetics. Let me go check on the boys and make sure that there finished with whatever they been doing and they're ready to come out and face the music.

Both boys were laying on the bed covered up with the bedsheet and embraced together. Neither wanted this time to end, they knew they were both carrying there was no doubt because they both went through conception pains. When they heard the electronic locks override Dillard knew that only one of two people had that authority. Shit it's either Mr. Ben or Mr. Zach, I hope we're not too much trouble.

The first thing the boys heard was Mr. Zack's voice; I hope you two knuckleheads are decent because I'm coming in and I'm not too happy. Zach really wanted to laugh because both boys were sitting up in bed covered up by the bedsheet from the waist down and both of their heads were hung low.

Dillard Edwards you know how much trouble you're in young man? And Griffin Beard as a visitor to the Z1 for the first time you pull a stunt like this, now wanted time speak up.

Dillard was the first, Mr. Zach did not plan anything, we met we hit it off we went to explore the Z1 I showed him all around the place we went to the exhibits and one thing led to another and before I knew it, we kissed for the first time and we held each other and it felt right. Neither one of us would do it without the other one, we made a pack if one of us decided to carry the other one had to carry since were both supposed to be alpha's it seemed right.

Mr. Zach, I know you don't know me and I am only a visitor here at this time but when I saw Dillard I lost my heart, I didn't know at that time that we would share each other's bodies today but I don't have any regrets and the child that I conceived with him is the most precious thing in the world.

What about you Dillard you want take care that baby?

Yes, sir I'll do whatever it takes to care for my child that he carries for me just like he will care for this child that I carry for him.

So, you two young men had a double bonding mate, Cleo is not going to be happy, first Clévon now you.

Can we wait a few days to tell him, you know that he just gave birth this morning?

Oh, I realize that but I'm not gonna tell him you two will tell your parents. Griffin's parents are waiting outside the day had you tracked down by the way is they were worried about their son. So, you two boys need to be cleaned up because this little breeding session here is over, shower dress and out that door to face the parents of this young man. You have 10 minutes to make yourselves ready.

Mr. Zach, I know it's a lot ask at this moment, but can we be considered for a roommate house, Griffin can finish his degree up here at the Z University plus I don't want to miss one moment of him carrying my child and he doesn't want to miss one moment of me carrying his just please think about it sir I will ask you for anything else because I do not deserve it.

Zach close the door and went back outside; Marlowe let's have a seat you need to think and choose your words wisely.

You don't mean, Griffin got the other young man in a delicate way?

You know what a breeder carrier is Marlowe?

No Sir I don't, I've never heard of that wording before. Would you please explain it sir?

Well, there alphas and betas in our society, betas are subservient alphas are dominant. A breeder is an alpha that's all he does he makes children a carrier is a beta and they have the children for the alphas. Then we have another branch that is considered a breeding carrier, they will breed another carrier to produce a child and they will accept a Breeding from an alpha or another breeding carrier themselves. When two breeding carriers get together, they have what they call a bonding mate. In other words, they impregnate each other.

Mr. Zach are you trying to tell me that Griffin allowed himself to be mounted and bred and he in turn mounted and bred the other young man.

You got it, both of them were carrying children. It was a mutual attraction and mutual conception. There's also been a request from the young man that they be considered for a roommate house were them in another couple who are very much like themselves cohabitate together learn about life but about relationships and learn about growing and taking care of their pregnant mates. It's a good situation, Griffin can pursue his college degree here at Z University and it is accredited to any human college or upper school of learning.

You mean he doesn't have to be out in public as he grows with the child, he will be protected from harassment and possible injury to him or the child from others who still discriminate against Genmen and hybrids and the humans who love them.

Marlowe you've got it right on the nail head, the only thing we have to do now is tell Jimmy that he's going to be a grand daddy. And don't forget both of my pregnant so he'll have at least two grandchildren to spoil right along with you.

Marlowe shook his head, you know things could went a whole lot worse for Griffin out in the real world had he been found out, he could've ended up very easily like Claxon. The young man took off this summer to build up money so that he could attend his final year at the University. But I don't feel that it's safe for him at the University anymore.

Did you say Claxon as in Claxon Jessup?

Yes, I did, you know who he is?

I most certainly do he working for Madam in helping out Zion with his world tour, in fact his father and son are on their way here right now is a special surprise from Mr. Ben. When Benjamin finds out something like that, he lets his heart show how much he really cares. So, it's a big secret that young Augustus will be joining his dad here along with August his father. I know that he does not get to see his family much because of the tour but here at the Z1 we're all about families.

Let's go see the dad's and see how they're doing. I bet you Jimmy is about ready this man on his head. I guarantee my Ben is not any better, he frets about everything especially when it comes to the young ones.

Ben was setting beside Jimmy and holding his hand. He looked up and saw Zach and Marlowe headed back their way. Be strong Jimmy no matter what the outcome is keep a cool head about you. When the boys come back, please don't be too rough on them.

Marlowe walked up and set beside Jimmy who laid his head upon his shoulder, I can tell by the look on your face that it's not good. It is our boy okay what the hell did he do.

Jimmy, you remember the day that we met so many years ago and that coffee shop it was a chance meeting for both of us in a way I bought you green tea set beside you and before you knew it your head was on my shoulder and my arm was around your shoulder it's holding you tight and it seemed like we had known each other for years and it was right.

Marlowe what in the hell does any of this have to do with us and what about Griffin what about him?

You remember those first few months of crazy in love we were, and until today this love has never failed us. You remember that first time, we ended up using three boxes of condoms.

Now you're embarrassing the hell out of me, a genman never forgets his first time. I know now I know what you mean by he got together with the other young man and took him.

Not exactly Jimmy, they took each other. Mr. Zach said it's what they call a double bonding mate.

Well, thank goodness Griffith knows all about protection and how to use condoms and everything else so that's one thing we don't have to worry about they both my lost their innocence but at least there's nothing else involved.

And what would you do if I called you granddaddy?

Marlowe that's not even funny, here I am pregnant with triplets and you're calling me granddaddy? Of shit, you don't mean that Griffin gave himself to the other young man?

After the other young man gave himself to Griffin, yes and according to Mr. Zach, they are both pregnant at this time with each other's children.

He can't be he has to finish school; college is very important and we have enough money saved up to finish sending him to the University. He can't go while he's all stuck out big and huge with the child.

He can finish University right here at Z University, you said yourself he was highly accredited the only thing they didn't have was a good sports program. And maybe that's because they don't have the right coach.

Marlowe you're not even making sense at this point in time so I'm going to stop listening, I don't want to hear any more of it don't even talk to me. I just want my son here in front of me and he better explain to me what the hell happened.

Marlowe let's go get us a Coolwater over to pancake bar, seems like Ben needs to do his magic. Besides when dad's get hormonal especially when they're expecting you can't reason with them is the father.

I believe you're correct Mr. Zach I think it's time I made my exit, I just don't want my son to be led into a slaughter nor the other young man, nobody deserves a full on out attack by hormonal dad.

Zach and Marlowe left and walked across the food court coming into the entrance was Griffin and Dillard, they were holding hands and kissing each other every chance they got. Griffin blushed when he saw his father.

I'm so sorry, I didn't intend for all this to happen but like you've always said; you'll know when you meet your mate. And I tried to deny it from the first time we shook hands but when I kissed him there was no denying what my body was feeling in my heart wanted.

Son you don't have to sell me, but your dad he is another story altogether. To say he's pissed would be a definite shortfall.

Now you have to know that we went to the doctor today that something that you were not aware of and your dad's condition besides his temperament and his blood pressure has been doing fine do not argue with him please.

What the hell is wrong with dad and why would his blood pressure be going up for any reason other than getting pissed off at me?

Griffin we came to the Z1 today for another reason your dad needed a checkup, you've noticed he's put a little bit of weight lately?

Yeah, he's been eating for a herd the last few months. Holy shit is dad pregnant, is that what you're trying to say?

Yes, he's pregnant all right, very pregnant and when you say he was eating for a herd you didn't miss it by far. I'm not gonna tell you, you're going have to ask him, but I will stand beside you and stand in front you in case he explodes.

Well, that's one down that's one parent down, my father is very laid-back when it comes to certain things in life but my dad is a whole different story. Don't take offense to anything might say because I've got it taken care, you and the baby that you carry are my responsibility just like the baby that I carry is your responsibility along with me. Time to face the execution squad of one, very pissed off dad.

Griffin walked up to his dad holding hands with Dillard. They were there for support of each other.

Dad I'm sorry that I am late but things happen sometimes in life. And in lots of those instances, it may not please everyone involved. I've already talked to father and I'm staying on here at the Z1 and I'm going to Z University here, I am not going back to Broadmoor University in the city. I know you wanted me to graduate there but is not for me ever since Claxton was attacked, I have had to watch every step I made so that I didn't suffer the same fate.

I know that you think I can take care of myself because of my size but even the biggest genman are vulnerable when it's their time.

Absolutely not young man, you are returning home when we leave here in two days. Come fall you will be at Broadmoor University and you will be in class. Whatever this is between you and this young man will just have to wait. I'm sure he's fine I'm sure he's a nice young man but you don't have time for nice young men in your life.

Dad I love you and I respect you but in this matter you are wrong. I am an adult and I have been an adult for a year and ½ now. Dillard and I will be taking quarters here at the Z1 and in nine months you will become a grand dad to both of our children. Like it or don't like it that's up to you.

The one thing I've always wanted all of my life that the other human children had were grandparents. Somebody older more experienced and wiser than my parents so I could ask them questions and get answers that were unbiased. Father's family died in a wreck, and your parents we have no idea who they are or where they are now if there even still living.

I was the dutiful young son who stayed in the shadows so that he did not draw attention to either of his parents. I couldn't chance on giving you away to anyone at the University, but my sons will not have to do this. They will be free to be children, to have friends to romp, to play out in public. They will never have to hideaway in the house peeking through the curtains at the other children in the neighborhood. Wishing that they could join in the games. Dad either you support me in my choice or you can watch your grandchildren grow up from afar never knowing their granddad. The choice is yours to make I just hope you make the right one.

Jimmy set there devastated, his soon to be 21-year-old son just delivered an ultimatum. He began to break down and cry as Griffin kissed him on the top of his head and walked away with Dillard.

Marlowe walked up to Jimmy and took a knee. Baby you have a choice here, either you let your son grow up to be the man that he's going to be or we not only lose our son but we will lose our grandchildren too. I think it's time that you went and lay down for a while and thought things over. I'm going to catch up to the boys and talk with our son and see if he will give you another chance.

Through all the tears and runny nose and whimpering, Jimmy thanked his mate for everything that he was doing. I'm so sorry, please tell Griffin I'm sorry it's just that learning about the triplets, now learning about him and he has taken a mate. When did I miss it, when did our little boy grow up to be such a wonderful young man?

Griffin I don't mean to get in the middle of your little family drama but I am. You were rough on your dad, and believe me I have seen it firsthand what it does to a parent when a child belittles him like you did. You were entirely too rough; your father is very supportive of us. Your dad is just going to take a little bit more time, being pregnant at his age with his second pregnancy that can't be easy and you didn't make it any easier.

Well, crapballs I guess I need to turn around and make amends. I'm not about to have two pissed off pregnant genman on my ass for any reason.

You're learning maybe I'll have you trained by the time the babies arrive.

You have me trained, not gonna happen maybe I will swing you around to the dark side, my side.

You worse such an idiot Griffin, but you do have the fact that your cute on your side. Let's go back and talk to your dad, besides I want to meet my future in-laws.

Just as Dillard and Griffin were turning around Stephen walked up to his brother. Well; it's about time I located you young man, dad was expecting you over an hour ago or did you forget about that too? But it looks like you might've been sidetracked, would you like to introduce me to your new friend here.

Stephen I am so sorry I have had something else on my mind and I need to go take care of something else first. Maybe you would like to follow along and make sure we get to where were going first and you can hear it firsthand.

Okay little brother I'll bite, what is going on?

Just follow Stephen, by the way this is Griffin. Griffin this is my older brother Stephen. You will be seeing a lot more of him as he grows bigger and bigger.

That's not fair Dillard, you know this is a special deal and I'm proud that I am carrying. Not all alphas can pull this off, but me I'm doing just fine.

Griffin looked Stephen; you are an alpha breeder yet you are carrying a child?

To keep a bloodline going on alpha will do what he has to do when requested and I'm proud to do it.

My hat is off to you, kinda gives me hope. Maybe I won't get that big because of my muscle structure.

Well, it's not so much your muscle structure you gotta worry about, a lot of it has to do with the father's genetics if he's big like you. You are going to get huge at least that's what Mr. Ben and the doctors say.

You see what you have to deal with now Griffin, a real smart ass as a future brother-in-law.

Stop right there Dillard Edwards, did you just say future brother-in-law as in the two of you have done the deed.

Yes, Stephen Edwards we have done the deed twice over, he is pregnant with my child and I am also carrying his. You're not the only one that can shock the family.

Well, you are right there, both of you boys and myself are going to shock the hell out of father he arrives. As if to Newborns weren't enough, they now have five grandchildren on the way.

Stephen if you don't mind Griffin and I would like to keep this to ourselves just a little bit longer, especially with everything this been going on his dad is not taking the news very well. We just found out that his dad is pregnant and it's going to be a higher risk pregnancy at that.

Not a problem Dillard, what you and Griffin decide to do is totally up to you. You're both of legal age for consent and to start your own family. I would not recommend the you try to get a house of your own but I imagine Mr. Ben will take care that with what they call the new parental roommate home. It's for two young couples such as yourselves live together in the same home and you help each other out through daily life. When you prove that you can stand on your own then you can request an individual home.

Sounds good to me, I don't know if Griffin can cook worth shit, I burn toast.

Don't worry, I do know how to cook and I also know how to make toast without burning it. You may get tired of some of the same dishes twice a week but I can cook, maybe one of the others can cook if we get good roommates.

That sounds perfect to me, I will learn how to cook but right now there's not enough smoke detectors in the world or even fire extinguishers to allow me anywhere near kitchen.

Marlowe caught up with his son, young men I would like to talk, you need to know the truth about where your father's head is right now because he is not thinking straight.

Go ahead father I'm all ears I'm listening. But it needs to be good, I respect dad but I will not have him disrespecting Dillard or our children.

We had you, we waited six years to have you and we had not planned to have any more children because of your dad's job and where we live. It was hard enough on both of us having a little normalcy and at the same time keeping you a secret.

5 ½ months ago we had a slip up and the condom broke. We really didn't think too much about it because things happen, he thought he caught everything in time. Two days later he was sick as a rackknar, at first, he thought it was a viral flu or something. But then his glands started producing more nectar and all of the other signs were there. The desires for certain types of food that he would never eat normally. In the portion sizes he could not get enough nutrition, he got some over-the-counter medications and vitamins to help him but it still wasn't enough.

That's why he relented and decided to come here, at the Z1 they have the best prenatal and medical facilities for Genmen and hybrid genman. We took the scan this morning and everything was going fine and till they started to move the wand around to check the baby.

Is everything okay with the baby?

Yes and no, here look at the picture. You will see they are lettered a, b, and c. Your dad is carrying triplets. Dr. Rupert and in another one of the doctors who I don't know his name is, they are concerned this is your dad's second pregnancy and he is 31. They worry about blood sugar, and his blood pressure, getting upset is no good for him or the babies.

He has to come to rationality on his own, I don't know when it will be but he has to decide for himself if he wants to be a part of your children's lives or not. I'm going to be a grandfather nothing or no one is going to change that. I will be here for you I will help the two of you anyway I can but your dad is going to take a little while.

Thank you, father that explains a lot about his mood swings and his general attitude here lately. I've been meaning to talk to you about it because he is just been on edge and snapping at everyone. With the summer break will he give him enough time?

No, he's going to have to eat into some sick time or vacation time and go back month after classes start.

You were good and a good little boy always so quiet and peaceful. But with three babies it's going to be loud. Plus, the whole thing is turned upside down because of his high risk they will him to stay close to the clinic. He will have to see the doctor every two weeks until he reaches about eight months and then it's once a week then twice a week.

Twins have a tendency to come early but yet triplets they can come as early as seven months to seven ½ months gestation. That's what the doctors want to avoid. We're going to have to try and rent something close to the ranch in the medical center.

About that time Zack walked up and heard the conversation. Rent; like hell you will stay here either on the Z1 or on the Hawthorne ranch as our guest. That's the reason we built this place and have continued to expand this place. After the children are born you get grounded again if you wish to move back to the city's pickup your life where it is, that's on you.

But we can find plenty of work for you here, we need a good legal rep. We need to make sure all the contracts for homebuilding, construction and our outreach programs is taking care of. And after reading about you and your credentials you're going to be our best choice. Talk it over with Jimmy when you have downtime tonight after the concert. And let us know something before you leave.

Mr. Zack you don't have to do that, I can commute back and forth work during the week come here and see Jimmy on the weekends along with Griffin.

Okay Marlowe Ben just want you to know that everything can be handled on this end, he has a three-bedroom unit already picked out for the two of you and you don't have to worry about anything it can be partially furnished or fully furnished all you have to do is just give us a list of what you need. If you decide you wish to move out here, we can have a moving team, go in to the city pack your house out and transport it here, unpack it and set up your home.

I've already taken the liberty of speaking to the principal of the education system and she is very well-versed with the academics and athletics program at Broadmoor University. She would jump at the opportunity to offer Jimmy the head position as director of athletics. All you have to do is talk to Jimmy and see if he's willing to set up a meeting time with her.

Now my head spinning and I need to sit down, me Marlowe Beard head of the legal department here at the Z1 and Hawthorne ranch, Jimmy would be the director of athletics at the Z University the let me get this straight is that what you're offering.

Yeah, that's about it, it comes with the house, and pay and food allotments from the farms here. That about does it, you and Jimmy just have to make up your minds. There's not any pressure whatsoever. Your children will be born here on the Z1 in our clinics at our hospital. If there is any kind of prenatal emergencies that arise, we have access to an air speeder that belongs to the Hawthorns and the baby or babies and Jimmy will be flown directly to Hawthorne Memorial Medical Center to be cared for.

Mr. Zach things like that cost way too much even with our jobs we can afford places like Hawthorne Memorial, it's just out of our league.

So, you do not know about the endowment fund, that offers low-income humans and all genman free emergency medical care. It was set up by Ed and Carter Hawthorne as a tribute to Tim's late son, his firstborn who did not make it due to an accident here on the ranch. Because it brings up so many emotions, we don't talk about it much, he may be gone but he will never be forgotten thanks to the endowment fund.

I'm sorry Sir, I don't know what to say but it's like everything else we look at you and we see someone of statue, someone who's got it all. Not realizing that you can suffer losses just like anyone else. You have my condolences Sir. And you have my promise after everything tonight when we go back to the main house as your guest, I will talk to Jimmy.

That's all you can do Marlowe is just talk to a pregnant Genman, there's no reasoning with them, they are always right, even when they're wrong, they are right.

Mr. Zach left and Marlowe decided it was time that he return to Jimmy so that they could talk for a little bit, the open-air of the rose gardens would be the perfect place so he went to go get his mate.

Coming soon the Z1 ranch P -- 76
