The Z-1 Ranch

The ride out to the Rosenburg farm was going great Thomas was very excited as he sat buckled in the back seat next to Sister Mary Agness.

Sister Mary Agness's communicator went off and she answered it. Hello you have sister Mary Agness how may I help you.

Mary Agness this is Mother Superior, we have a small situation here at the orphanage. I am dispatching Mary Frances to your location with a two-day old who carries the same genetic traits as the two brothers Tony and Thomas. Whether he will be a rapid growth is undetermined at this time according to the doctors that looked up all of the genetic coding but they are three full siblings.

Mother superior not meaning to question your authority, but a two-day old are you sure that it is safe?

Mary Agness, you know our situation here of had the baby been 2 to 3 months old it would be no problem, but we are not equipped to care for a newborn and he has no other place to go. Mary Frances will meet you at the bus stop in the Township tomorrow at approximately 11 AM. Please inform all of those involved that a nursery will be needed for the child plus enough nectar needs to be in stock.

Yes, mother superior I understand and I will inform everyone here to the situation and we will handle it. Might I stay a couple of extra days just to get them settled in?

Mary Agness, you know you have responsibilities here at the orphanage and you will return after the child is delivered to its caretakers by Mary Frances. That means both of you shall return tomorrow afternoon. That is the end of discussion.

Mary Agness closed up her communicator and had a concerned look upon her face.

Sister is everything okay inquired Ari?

Just a little development, it seems that we are to receive a two-day old tomorrow in the Township. The child is a full sibling to the two boys, we are not set up for newborn infants at the orphanage. We usually do not accept them to they're 2 to 4 months of age but it seems like this one came early.

Donnie Ray was excited because he would have a child near that he could help raise if it was okay. He would be caring his own soon enough but helping out would be great. It's okay Mr. Ari, we can all help with the child.

It looks like we are going to have to help Tony, this will throw him for a loop. Thomas is older so he can do the basic necessities for himself, but a newborn is a whole new ballgame for Tony.

That's okay I don't mind, I will soon be carrying my own child this would give me some practical experience if Tony will allow me to assist with the child.

It's a good thing that they went ahead and upgraded the house to a three-bedroom, two bath it looks like Tony is going to need it remarked Ari.

Tony and Sampson had taken time away to watch the delivery of Dan's newest acquisition a herd of rare Windemere's 20 mare's and a beautiful Stallion that was a radiant white. He was an awesome creature. Windemere's were kept by the royals as personal playthings, they were a horse-like creature but so much more. The were lethal if approached by the wrong Genmen or Humans, bloodlines played a big part in who could be around them. Racknars even feared them and they feared no animal.

These were captured and relocated so they had very little contact with people. The Stallion caught scent of Tony and ran straight to the fence. He reared up and came down firmly looking Tony in the eyes.

Sampson swallowed and remarked; is there anything you would like to tell me Tony? These things don't react to just anyone.

Wide eyed Tony responded; like the fact my mother was of half royal-blood. Do you think he can smell that?

The stallion did something that really took everyone by surprise, he bowed his head and then his entire body as to pay respect to the Royal lineage of Tony.

Dan walked up behind the two young men as they were enthralled with the stallion's antics, he cleared his throat and spoke; bet you did not expect that now did you Tony. I have reasons for all of my actions and you are the reason for me bringing these beautiful intelligent beasts here to our farm. You do realize that you are safe if you wish to approach him with in the paddock area, he will never harm you for you or his Lord and master.

Tony looked around at Dan Rosenburg in a questionable expression. What you mean I am his Lord and master Sir?

It's in your blood, the Royal blood that you contain in your veins and the genetics that are in your body are recognized by him and the entire herd. We will start a new program here, making sure all of the new offspring that are produced here are hands on, they will be tame Windemere's. This is just a start.

Now let's go look at that new house, I believe that they should be completed with that by now according to Robbie and the decorators have finished their job. I hear that a certain young man is on his way here to the farm so let's get ready.

Mr. Dan do you know about the other situation that is also presented itself?

Yes, Tony I do and I understand that you need to be open-minded when it comes to siblings.

Mr. Dan I was talking about the Genmen that worked the hotel that's coming here for a special reason, what you talking about Sir?

How old you were talking about Donnie Ray; I thought that oh boy I opened my mouth again.

What are you talking about Sir is everything else okay?

I really let the Racknar out the bag so I might as well go ahead and get my foot all the way in my big mouth. Have a seat on the bench so that we can speak it affects Sampson also so he can listen in, Tony the mother superior from the orphanage called sister Mary Agness with some information, it seems that a two-day old has been delivered to the orphanage in his DNA matches up with you and Thomas. They cannot take care of it at the orphanage so sister Mary Frances is to deliver the child tomorrow. It looks like it's a good thing that you have a three-bedroom unit.

A two-day old what am I going to do with that? Thomas is 4-½ so he can take care of himself for the most part very little is needed in assistance, but a two-tailed what am I going to do how my going to feed it?

Sampson cleared his throat; the solution is in front of your face, Donnie Ray is coming here to conceive with you maybe you can ask him to help with the little one. His nectar glands will be productive so he can feed and it will give him practical experience with the baby as he waits for his to be born.

You think that will work? He would be willing to care for child it's not his?

Genmen who are expecting get real family oriented and settled. Offer him a room in exchange for helping with the child, Titus would be more than welcoming to help in his spare time we are after all one family here on the farm.

Sampson would you need to run that by Titus before you volunteer him inquired Dan?

I know my Titus and he will help after all his time is getting close.

That's what I mean Sampson, he will be busy with his own child looking after another one might be taxing.

Trust me Mr. Dan, brooding Genmen love children.

There was some commotion out in the paddock area, one of the mares had decided to give birth. The event unfolded in front of everyone's eyes, nature was truly remarkable, the stallion stood guard as the mare started the birthing process. Like in nature the rest of the herd circled around the mare as she laid down to birth little one.

Tony, you do realize that you are the only one that will be able to walk out into the paddock area. You will not be in harm's way as you walk out to check on the little one. You need to make yourself known as the Lord and master of this herd remarked Dan.

Tony was very cautious as he opened the side gate and stepped out into the paddock. He gently walked toward the protective circle of the Windemere's as they stood watch. Slowly Tony walked up to the lead mare and she stepped aside and allowed Tony into the protective sanctum of the herd.

Dan turned to Sampson; I have a job for you and I need you to listen up. I have already spoken to Titus and he has approved for you to render your services.

What is the job that you need me to do Mr. Dan?

Got a young man that has to be brought along, he's young and he is found himself in a family way through no fault of his own. He goes by the name Sky but his name is Skyler, mother superior contacted the ranch and Mr. Zach recommended you for the job.

What you mean he needs to be brought along?

His body is not mature enough to be able to birth on its own, he will need to be broken in so that when the time comes, he will be able to birth with relatively easiness. He is equivalent to late 16 to early 17th year, the perpetrator of the child that he carries has just turned 19 at the orphanage. Due to Genman Law and biology they are able to stay at the orphanage until they transition. The older one transitioned early and impregnated the other young man. Sky is tall and slender and if it wasn't for a little pudginess upfront you would never know.

What am I to do Sir I've never understood this, what about the other young man that caused is he not responsible?

The sisters of faith and charity orphanage turned him over to the Genman Council. Their justice was swift and final. He was given the Royal treatment sent to a farm far away where he was claimed and he now carries one of his own.

Damn that's cold, he just messed up a little bit being the natural horny Genman teenager.

He was a little bit more than that, from all accounts he was very cruel and not forgiving for his actions that's what warranted the swift and drastic results. Sky on the other hand is almost 3 months gone, he is on his way here to the farm you are expected to lay with him daily and use him so that his vent is opened. You need to be gentle with the young man because he is not experienced and no doubt it will be confusing.

But he had relations with the other teenager did he not?

Yes, but the other teenager was not proud built so even though the seeds reached the eggs he was not prepared properly. He's a pureblood and the child that he carries is three quarters pure / one quarter human so it could be a larger birth that's where you come in. You will make sure to prepare him by being with him daily. Titus knows everything and he approves everything, Sky will live in the home with the two of you so that you may service him properly. He will help Titus around the house taking care of his newborn when it arrives as he waits for his time to birth.

I understand Mr. Dan and I will do what is needed of me. I have seen this on the other farm that Drayga and I both came from. I have also seen ones that were not able to birth a child that they carried, either it was removed or they would both perish, one way or the other, one of them always failed the birthing.

That's something we don't have to worry about, because we have a very good hospital and clinic and top-notch doctors on the Z-1 plus we are not that far away from there when the time comes.

Tony returned and inquired if they saw him with the newborn Windemere?

Dan smiled yes, we did and you will take care of the herd along with other responsibilities here and at your job.

I have no problem with that sir.

Ari arrived from town; he pulled the speeder onto the property. Dan smiled at his mate's arrival and the precious cargo onboard. Dan kissed Ari as he got out of the speeder before he helped Sister Mary Agnes out of the rear of the vehicle. Welcome to our humble abode Sister, Dan remarked to her.

Sister Mary Agnes thanked Dan for the accommodations and helping out with Thomas. Now where is my boy Tony at?

Young Tony walked up, I'm here Sister. You are a sight for sore eyes, as he embraced her in a big hug.

Thomas was not about to be forgotten and walked up to his older sibling and pulled on his pants leg. That's my sister you're hugging on.

Tony took a knee and looked at his little brother. Yes, but I have known her longer than you little brother. Tony took Thomas into his arms and hugged him just like any brother would, and Thomas returned the hug. Tony showed Thomas affection just like any brother would by showering him with kisses as if they had not seen each other for a long time.

Sister Mary Agnes still needed to tell him about the newborn as it was to arrive on the next day. Tony, we need to talk about another important matter remarked sister Mary Agnes. Well in fact there are two important matters to discuss, first is Donnie Ray in his needs and then your newest sibling who will arrive tomorrow with sister Mary Frances.

Dan cleared his throat, sister Mary Agnes I decided that the family needed to be together so I arranged with mother superior for a private driver to bring sister Mary Frances and the baby out tonight. I hope that this is fine with you because family needs to be with family.

Mr. Rosenburg that wasn't necessary, a transit doesn't cost that much and we're not use to such extravagance is a private vehicle. This will all have to be figured into the budget and it is tight at best.

Well, the way I look at it, the baby needs a name plus there is Skyler who is coming to live here on the farm. I just figured it would be a lot less traumatic if we went ahead expedited the situation and got everybody settled.

Thomas's ears perked up; Skyler is on his way out here you mean he will be living here also. You got him away from the mean one that was hurting him sister Mary Agnes?

Thomas, what do you know about this questioned Mary Agnes?

Couldn't stand to see him be hurt again so I dropped a note to mother superior in the privacy box. I will not say his name but he hurts people and not in a good way.

You don't have to worry about that ever again, that person has been removed from the orphanage and sent away forever. He will never touch anyone again like that.

Sister, you do know that he is spoiled already and that's okay?

It will all be taken care of; he will live here with someone to watch over him. He will be cared for as his time progresses. These are things that you need not worry about, Tony will take care of you and your little brother and he arrives.

I don't have a brother other than Tony?

Ari smiled and remarked; that this was something that needed to be taken inside so that all members of the family could speak about it.

Mr. Rosenburg if you do not mind can we talk about the situation with young Skyler and how he will be helped here inquired sister Mary Agnes?

We sure can because I would like for you to meet the couple that will help him as he progresses through his gestational period. They are expecting their own soon and Sampson will help guide young Skyler as he develops, you need to meet Sampson. He's a giant but a very gentle giant he will help the young man no doubt, his mate Titus who is due soon will also help Skyler by explaining things that his body is going through as he carries.

Dan and sister Mary Agnes took their liberties and left to go meet Sampson and Titus.

Donnie Ray just stood there, kind of lost until Ari motioned for him to come on and follow. You need to get settled in before you meet with Tony, the two of you get to know each other.

Thomas was very excited with his new surroundings and was taking everything in. He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the Windemere's he asked if he could get closer to them. Dan cautioned him that they had just arrived so he had to be very careful when he approached their pen.

Yes Sir; I'll be very careful that you can count on, they can very dangerous if provoked. Thomas walked to the pen where they were kept and stood by the fence watching them in amazement.

Tony noticed the young boy getting close to the paddock and decided to watch him. After a few minutes he stood next to the lad and gently spoke; Would you like to pet one?

They can be very unpredictable so I'm not sure that anyone should bother them until they get used to being here Sir.

It's okay you're with me, maybe they will let you pet one of them.

Thomas beamed; you really think so? I could get one of them to let me pet it?

We will have to see, take my hand and follow my lead as we enter the pen.

Thomas stayed right next to Tony's leg and held on to his hand for dear life. The two walked into the middle of the pen and soon the Windemere's were walking around them sniffing of the young boy. The new Colt that had been born just a while ago was very inquisitive and walked directly up to Thomas.

Thomas stood still as the young colt smelled him up and down. Thomas was being very cautious and gently put his hand out so that the young colt could get used to his smell. In a move that surprised both of them the young colt walked up to Thomas and laid his head up next to Thomas's shoulder gently nuzzling him.

Well, it looks like you have made a friend remarked Tony. But of course, you were being watched right now by his mother and father.

Tony watched very cautiously as the mare walked up to where her colt was and sniffed Thomas.

Thomas was very intimidated by the big creature as she smelled him all over, but what he wasn't ready for was when she licked him upside his face. He didn't know where to be grossed out or delighted that she had accepted him.

Tony was very gentle in his voice when he told Thomas to be careful that the stud was coming to check him out.

Thomas stood very rigid but he wasn't afraid, the stud Windemere sniffed the boy from head to toe and got a little personal with his muzzle. In a move that surprised Tony and Thomas the big stud bowed down to the young boy. Windemere's can smell Royal blood within one and both of the boys had the same amount of Royal blood coursing through their veins. Thomas gently caressed the Studs head and neck as they got to know each other.

Dan stood back with sister Mary Agnes they were both amazed. Well sister it looks like two brothers are getting along just fine. Let's see how number three works out as he grows up here.

Yes, that is going to be a challenge Mr. Rosenburg. He's very young, though he is true siblings to the others you never know what you get when you mix bloodlines. Maybe they will be settled tomorrow when they get here.

Well let's hope they settle pretty quick because they are on their way, there's no way that I would put sister Mary Frances on a shuttle with the newborn. They are coming out here in a private transport, so that everyone can have a little more time together before y'all have to leave and go back to the orphanage.

That really wasn't necessary Sir, that cost a lot of money and funds do get short.

Sister don't worry about that; I've got all that covered. Now let's go meet with the other two parties that will be involved with Skyler. Sister Mary Agness and Dan went to meet up with Sampson and Titus.

The meeting went very good, Sister Mary Agness explained the situation to Sampson and Titus and what was needed from them both.

Zach and Ben were in the area, they were bringing a young genman to live at Dion and Clarence William's place. There had been some issues on the Z-1 with him and they both felt it would be safer if he was to stay clear of the ranch for a while. Yanisk had been through hell, he couldn't carry full tern and had slipped 13 times with his ex-partner. He had never gone past the 2-month mark of gestation when tragedy struck.

Yanisk had been directed by the doctors no physical contact with his ex-partner so there would be no chance of him conceiving once again and resulting in the trauma to him and his body. Sovran would not leave Yanisk alone and they were always fighting. Yanisk unbeknownst to anyone had met someone else in the Township and they had become very close, in fact the two were lovers.

Daltas Halston was from a very strict family, they did not sully their bloodlines with inferior beings such as Genman. Somebody forgot to tell young Daltas's heart that, he fell in love with Yanisk the first time he laid eyes on him. That was just a little over six months ago, he was 4 months with their child. This was big trouble, with a capital B for baby.

Dion and Clarence fully understood what it meant to take in Yanisk and the issue with his human lover. His ex-partner, when he found out that he was with another's child went ballistic and demolished the house and attempted to kill Yanisk. Sovran was shipped off to another farm and Yanisk was relocated for his own safety.

Zach and Ben waited for the young man to come to the farm from the Township they needed to sit down with him and discuss what would take place as far as Yanisk was concerned.

Daltas was letting nothing get in his way as he drove his speeder at breakneck speeds headed toward the William's place where Yanisk was waiting. He turned into the drive which was still under construction and didn't even slow down as he headed towards the main house.

Ben looked at Zach, reminds me of someone else I know Zachariah Spinelli.

Who me, I wouldn't have any idea what you're talking about Ben Spinelli.

The vehicle had barely come to stop when young Daltas jumped out of the speeder. Where is he, is he okay?

Zach smiled; it's about time a face has been put to one's name. I'm Zach Spinelli and I believe you are Daltas Halston, just the young man I want to speak with. Join me and Ben, we have a few things to discuss before you see Yanisk.

Daltas looked Zach in the face and asked; is Yanisk and our baby ok sir?

Ben spoke up, they are doing fine. The doctors gave them both a clean bill of health before we brought them here to stay.

I don't mean to be rude but when I heard he was attacked, I went a little crazy.

Ben responded; I fully understand and you had the rite to go off, but now cooler heads will prevail. Now young man what are your intentions?

Sirs I plan to take care of Yanisk and our child. I have to get a job first and stay by his side. Can you tell me that he is safe here, his Ex will not cause problems?

Zach chuckled; I can guarantee that young man. His ex is in no position to cause anyone any problems. He right now is on his way to a farm on the other side of the planet, he is being placed in someone else's care and in nine months he's going be the one crying about his poor little vent as he tries to push out a 38 pounder. And after he delivers the offspring will be returned to the Z1 and raised in a loving family of his father, then his caregiver will re-impregnate him for 13 cycles. I found out what really took place and the reason that Yanisk lost all of his babies.

I don't understand, I thought it was a medical reason? Did he hurt Yanisk and cause him to slip.

Ben cleared his throat, let's just say it wasn't pleasant for Yanisk. You need to understand that he is fragile and this means everything to him.

It means everything to us; I want to give him a chance at life. A happy life to enjoy with love and family around him.

When you see Yanisk don't overreact, he was a little banged up, he has a bruised face. He is okay other than that.

I know not to overreact Sir; I need to get a job so that I can help support Yanisk and the baby. I have only worked on my family's place, but I'm hard worker and I don't leave work for anyone else that is assigned to me. I don't know anything about the people that own this place but maybe they will take pity on me so that I can support my responsibilities.

Dion was in the background listening to the young man and his plea and it did not fall on deaf ears by no means he cleared his throat and stepped forward. Young man my name is Dion Williams and along with my mate Clarence we own this place. You and Yanisk are very welcome here. Clarence will be needing some help as his time draws near even though he has family very close he needs someone around when I'm not here.

Daltas was very nervous as he attempted to speak, Sir you can count on me to make sure that everyone here is safe when you are not around. Yanisk will be available to help until his time reaches, then after he births, he will resume any and all duties that are required. I will perform any and all duties that are required of me, if I need to take a job away from the farm, I will still take care of my obligations here.

You will have a fulltime job here so there's no need for you to work elsewhere. You will have a full security team under your supervision along with a whole staff of workers here on the farm. You will be responsible for their hiring and work schedules. Yanisk will assist Clarence and tend to the Household staff after they are hired.

Might I inquire how many are to be here sir?

Well let's look at it this way, with all we have going on and that will be built here on the property we will rival the population of the community itself. Families need someplace to move when they work at a location like this, we will build 2000 3-bedroom family homes situated to one side of the property there will be a roadway in between the homes that are placed on either side so that access could be gained. At the rear of the property a telecommunications system will be built so that we can monitor incoming communications with the planet from the jump gate system. We will need workers for the farm itself so that we can be self-sufficient by raising crops along with other necessities. Young man I feel that you will have your plateful and I will be depending upon you for a lot. Nothing will be given to you in life, you will earn everything that you have.

I must notify you that things were not left with my family members in a good way. I cannot live the way that they wish, I love who I love and that I will not make excuses for.

Then I'll tell you right now, it's their loss not yours. Live your life the way you wish to live it and everything will be all right.

Yanisk and Clarence walked out of the main house to the conversation area. He was so glad to see his Daltas he had the best news that anyone could ever deliver.

Daltas stood up and embraced Yanisk, he kissed him on his cheeks and on his lips. He rubbed his hand on his protruding abdominal region and asked if everything was all right with the baby, did the Dr. say everything was okay?

Everything is just fine with babies; we are doing just fine. Dr. said that they will be of average weight, that I should take it easy in my last month.

Daltas looked at Yanisk, did you say babies?

Yes, that's correct I'm carrying twins. Would you like to know what they are?

Boys I would guess, you are a pureblood.

Well let's just say that someone will have her brother to look out for her safety.

Daltas went to his knees and gently embraced Yanisk's abdomen and kissed it. We have the perfect gifts, a boy and a girl. He looked up at Yanisk, you have made me the proudest father ever. I love you and no one will ever stand between us.

About that time a silver speeder pulled up behind Daltas's parked speeder occupied by 2 young men. Dion looked at Zach, let's go take care of this so these two aren't disturbed.

Zach smiled; I'm right behind you.

As the driver was about to depart the vehicle Dion let his presence be known. Stay right where you are young man and state your business here on my property?

This is my younger brother's speeder sir; he had a big argument with our father and he left the homestead.

Daltas is here and you will not disturb him. He is starting his new job and will be living here from now on.

Father will not agree to that, he has demanded the buggy be retrieved and brought back to the farm.

What's are your names?

I'm Rusty Wayne Halston and this is my brother Harold Don Halston sir, and might I know to whom I'm speaking to Sir?

My name is Dion E Williams and this is all my land, this other gentleman is Zach Spinelli the owner of the Z-1 Ranch.

I'm so sorry to disturb you but I really need to get this buggy back to our place. Father demands it.

Who actually owns the buggy son?

Well, it really belongs to Daltas but father's rules trump ownership, sir.

Come on and step out of the buggy son, we need to talk about this with you brother before anything happens.

Rusty and Harold crawled out of their buggy and followed the two men towards the seating area.

Dion offered the two visitors drinks so they could relax before all hell broke lose between them and Daltas. Dion called for Daltas to report to the seating area for a meeting.

Daltas walked up behind his brothers and spoke, reporting as requested Mr. Williams.

Son, you have two visitors here, seems that they have been sent to retrieve your buggy. Do you intend to let them remove your property or will you deny the request?

Daltas walked around so he could face his siblings. Tell father that I only took what rightly belongs to me and nothing else. I bought and paid for it as scrap, I rebuilt it with my own hands and funds, he cannot have what doesn't belong to him. But what you should concern yourself with at this point, is did you remove your keys or is that little livewire bouncing up and down in the driver's seat going to take off with it.

Rusty jumped up and took off towards his speeder causing Harold to break out in laughter. He yelled out; run Rusty run.

Rusty arrived just in time as the youngster turned on the ignition, he turned it off and removed the keys. Young man where are your parents at he asked?

My daddy is building new fence in the back. I guess that I'm going to be in trouble now when you tell him huh mister?

Rusty smiled at the youngster; no harm was done so no one needs to find out but you shouldn't play in the speeders. Let me help you out, Rusty picked up the lad and carried him back to the seating area.

Harold noticed the kid as soon as Rusty walked up with him, he was the splitting image of his older brother. Same color hair, same nose and those golden eyes, only boy in the bunch with them now here was a youngster with the same eyes.

Dion looked at the boy, Russell where is your dad at, but more exact where are you supposed to be at young man?

Mr. Dion please don't tell my daddy; I'm supposed to be doing my lessons while he is building fence out back sir.

I'm not going to tell your daddy; you will young man.

The boy responded; damn I don't get to do anything fun. When he realized what he had said he covered his mouth with his hand. Please don't tell him, I said a bad word I'm begging of you sir; Daddy will tan my backside.

Harold busted out laughing, he even sounds just like you Rusty. First the eyes now the mouth, what have you been doing while off of the farm big brother?

Rusty turned red faced and became flustered at his brother's accusation. Harold snickered even more at his brother's face.

That's ok, never met my father. Only been my daddy and me.

Clarence replied; they are new to the area just the boy and his dad; Palmer no father in the picture. Had to move off their old farm because of the boy's genetic makeup.

Rusty perked up when he heard the name Palmer. What did you say the dad's name was sir?

Russell replied; my daddy's name is Palmer.

Harold saw his brothers face turn white, he inquired; what's up big brother, what have you done and kept quiet?

Rusty took a seat before he fell down. It couldn't be the same, not possible he mumbled.

Daltas was concerned for his brother who had just been winded. Are you ok Rusty?

I'm okay, just need to catch my breath. Russell does your daddy have a scar on his right cheek?

Yes, sir he got it as a boy from a farm manager for failing to get his chores finished in time.

Rusty hung his head and shook it, how old are you, Russell?

I was born 15 months ago, I grow fast because of my dad, but he tells me that I look just like my father. I don't have extra parts like the other children of mixed blood. He said I have his eyes, his hair and something else that one day will make some lucky genman very happy, whatever that means.

Harold got choked as he was trying to take a drink when Russell made his comment. I've got to meet your daddy; I need to see this for myself Harold thought.

Clarence took the opportunity and requested for Russell to follow him into the main house so that they can get some more refreshments and cookies for everyone, this made the boy very happy and he followed Clarence into the house.

Rusty looked over at Dion and asked if he could meet the boy's dad by chance?

Dion picked up the inhouse communicator and called for Palmer to come to the main house so they could talk.

Palmer's voice rang through loud and clear; is the boy causing a problem sir, he is supposed to be studying?

No problem but it does concern him, so get to a stopping point and come to the gathering area we need to talk.

Palmer was concerned; had he done something to anger the new boss, he was going to skin that headstrong boy alive. He rounded up his tools and headed to the house.

Rusty before Palmer arrives, I am going to ask you to step back behind the partition and wait. I don't wish to spoil the element of surprise because I believe that the two of you know each other very well. What was between you two is your business but if you are Russell's father the two of you need to talk. I don't know how it happened and it's not my business because they came from the other side of the planet and relocated here. But there's no doubt the boy looks like you.

Harold looked at his older brother who was nervous. Rusty, have you hooked up with someone, let's say about two years ago?

Rusty just shook his head; I don't want talk about it, I thought we would never see each other again, when I awoke the next morning, he was gone.

So big brother likes vent, Mr. high and mighty came down on from his mountain and mixed with the common folk. Father is going to be pissed off to the Max.

Daltas was more sympathetic to his big brother, even though he was a pain in the ass he still was human and deserve to be heard out. Well, if you think that's bad our father is going to have a shit fit just wait until you meet my surprise.

Both Rusty and Harold looked at their younger brother and wondered what he meant. Daltas stood up and said that he would return in a minute.

Daltas returned and beside him stood a very nice-looking young man who was no doubt in a family way. Yanisk; I would like for you to meet two of my brothers, the older one is Rusty and the one next to him is Harold.

Yanisk bowed his head in respect to them. I am very glad to meet you, I hope that we can get to know each other because the children will need to meet and know their family.

Rusty and Harold looked each other and looked at their younger brother.

That's right guys he is carrying for me and its twins. In five months, we will be welcoming into this world a boy and a girl child. If our parents do not wish to know their grandchildren that's fine by me because I will never step foot back into the house as long as my family is not allowed. Yanisk is my family, who I have chosen.

Harold was the first one to speak up, no judging here whoever you choose to be with is your choice, it looks like someone else also should have no right to speak ill of your choice he has enough problems of his own.

Rusty stood up and walked over and embraced Yanisk, welcome I look forward to the chance to get to know you and when these babies arrive, they will definitely know this uncle.

Dion motioned for Rusty to stand behind the partition, he heard Palmer headed their way.

Palmer was a little dirty but he had been working, Mr. Williams how can I help you Sir is everything okay are you displeased about something? I don't mean to disturb you and your guest.

Palmer when you came to work here you said that you had a past and I realize that you explained everything up to a point about the boy. Now I want to hear it all, no more secrets no more surprises.

Palmer looked around and Russell was nowhere in sight. Did something happen Sir to bring this on?

What about the boy's father, are we going to be having any issues here when he comes?

He knows nothing about the boy, I met him one time and the result was my Russell.

Sit down and explain to me how this happened?

Yes, Mr. Williams; I have been in the area once before, I was sent here for a breeding at the big ranch. I failed to show because I met someone in town. We were together for the night but I left early before he woke. He has no idea about the boy, he was sound asleep when the conception happened. I never spoke about him to the farm manager it was only after Russell was born and they discovered the truth about him, we fought over him and the fact that he was of mixed bloodlines. When I discovered that they wished for me to return for a proper breeding that's when I took my son and left. I answered your advertisement for a skilled handyman and you hired me. Please if I or the boy have done anything wrong, please give us the chance to make it right.

What do you know about the boy's father?

He wasn't from this area he was passing through just like me, we will never meet again but he gave me a wonderful son. The boy has his hair and his eyes there is no doubt he will produce wonderful offspring when he grows of age and meets someone.

Palmer, I left something on the other side the partition, if you don't mind back there and retrieve it.

Yes Mr. Williams. Palmer walked around the partition, when he spoke out loudly, oh fucking dammit you can't be. The next words out of Palmer's mouth were not audible because he was within the grips of Rusty and he was kissing him.

Palmer broke loose and took a step back; you can't be here you said you weren't of this area.

You said no strings you just wanted a good time. Really no strings, what do you call Russell then? Because he is awesome. We made a child that night and you never told me, did you ever try to locate me? I gave you my number at the malt shop.

I lost it, I couldn't chance letting anyone at the farm know about you. I had Russell to protect. I'm sorry really doesn't make up for it though.

Russell walked up when the two were kissing and cleared his throat, I guess that you two know each other.

Palmer took to his knee; Russell I would like for you to meet your father. I never told him about you so don't blame him for not being around. Please forgive me son.

Rusty went to his knees as Russell approached him. Russell looked Rusty over and turned to his dad, we have the same eyes dad.

And you have the same hair as your father responded Palmer.

Russell walked up to his father and hugged him.

Rusty hugged his son back and picked him up off the ground. I've been waiting for you all of my life my son. Someone to love and guide in the ways of life. Rusty walked up to Palmer and embraced him in a family hug.

What about what you said; about your father and how he wouldn't accept one of my kind into his family inquired Palmer?

No one; not even my father will get in-between me and our family Palmer. I want you to meet my brothers Harold and Daltas. This young man here needs to get acquainted with two of his uncles. The three walked from behind the partition, Rusty carrying his son.

Ben looked at Zach, it looks like someone is going to be hosting another family member. Oh, look at the time we need to get over to Dan and Ari's place. The little one will be arriving soon.

Zach and Ben said their goodbye's and left for Dan and Ari's place.

Russell was eating up the attention he was receiving from his parents. Harold was taking photos of the three, he had a plan.

Harold looked at his watch and then at his brothers. I'm leaving and I'm going to take the buggy back home with me Rusty, father is going be pissed but you're staying here. I'll have a talk with mom to see if I can reason with her but I can't make any promises.

No Harold I'll come back home, Daltas this can keep the buggy after all he purchased it and built it himself so father has no rights to it.

Rusty you are staying here with your family, that little boy needs a father in his life and you have found your purpose. I don't hear another word out of you, either of you so just keep your comments to yourself.

Daltas and Rusty looked at each other as their brother stood up and walked away.

Russell I'm depending on you to keep your father in line. I'll be back to visit you after all you are my nephew. Harold jumped into the buggy turned the switch on and left the farm headed back to their home.

I'm sorry Harold didn't check with anyone before he decided what he was going to do, Mr. Williams am I allowed to stay here with Palmer and Russell?

Dion chuckled; the boy needs both of his parents in his life. And I think Palmer needs you in his also, just be ready in the morning you and Palmer have a lot of fences to be building.

Rusty smiled and hugged Palmer.

It didn't take Harold long to arrive at their home. He walked inside and his mother looked at him waiting for her other two sons to show up.

Sorry mom is just me, Rusty and Daltas aren't coming back.

What do you mean that they're not coming back, explain yourself Margaret retorted.

They both have lives that do not include this place anymore. I want you look at a photo and tell me what you see. He turned to one of the first photos that he took of Russell with his father standing in the background to one side. If you weren't looking for Rusty, you would not notice him in the background and that's what Harold was counting on.

Harold handed the communicator to his mother with a picture of Russell being displayed.

So, what it's an old photo of your brother, nothing new about Rusty.

Mother look at the photo again, look at the child closely and tell me what you see?

Like I said it's Rusty in an old photograph, I don't remember it but I'm sure somebody took it.

Mother look in the upper left-hand corner of the photograph real closely and tell me what you see?

Margaret looked at the photo once again, she noticed Rusty was standing in the background. How could he be in two places at one time what kind of trick was Harold trying to play now.

Harold, I do not have time for this, I don't care how many programs and how many of these photos you show me that's your big brother.

Oh, Rusty is there standing in the background, but the little boy that you're looking at; his name is Russell Wayne Halston. That is your grandson, your first grandson in fact Rusty is his father.

The child is too old to be Rusty's. Now stop it right now.

Mother I need you to listen to me, Russell is the son of Rusty. He is 15 months old he was conceived two years ago; Rusty is his father and nothing is going to change that.

There is no way one of my boys did anything like that. Now just stop these lies right now before I contact your father.

Mother open your eyes; Rusty fathered a child and that child is Russell he is a human hybrid. He along with his dad relocated here not knowing that Rusty was from this area. They were no longer allowed nor wanted on the farm because of Russell's genetic anomalies. He has his father's eyes and his hair and every genetic trait that influenced his physical being, from his dad he inherited his rapid growth and intelligence. He did get his father's mouth, but he got his dad's brain.

There's no way, he would have said something long before this.

Believe me had he known about Russell he would've said something along time ago. Now you have to decide what you are going to do, by the way Daltas isn't coming back home he has a job and a new home that goes with it and he is sharing it with someone, in five months get ready for more grand babies.

I don't believe you; Harold you are telling lies on your brothers I don't know why.

Mother continue to scroll through the photographs that are on my communicator, you will see that what I have told you is the truth. Nothing will change the truth.

You're trying to steal your brothers place here at the farm. Your father will thrash you good for lying on them.

Mother don't believe it; I don't care I am sick and tired of living like this. We are part of the community that includes others that are similar but yet different from us. Two of your sons have found mates and started families, I don't know what I'm going to do but I have no problem walking away from this place. But before I do everyone here will know the truth whether you decide to hear it or cover your ears and deny it. Please think before you react, don't miss the chance to be in the lives of your grandchildren. Father will never change that I believe that you have the chance to open your heart and let love prevail.

Margaret set there going through the photographs, she couldn't believe what she saw with her own eyes. One with Rusty holding Russell in his lap and another one with Russell with his arms wrapped backwards around the necks of his parents smiling up toward them. The one with Daltas setting next to another person with his hand on the young man's abdominal section which was protruding, that was unbelievable to her. None of this made sense.

Tony decided to check out the other visitor who would be staying with him. He smelled him before he saw Donny Ray, he was scenting bad.

I'm sorry, I didn't think I should be out around others in my condition. Did I do correct?

Tony didn't say a word he walked directly up to Donny Ray and began to sniff him. He started to lick his neck before he bit down on it. That caused Donny Ray to wither in pain as he clamped down very hard.

Tony heard someone opening the front door, he released his teeth from Donny's neck. That will hold you until later, then I will finish you. He walked out of the room closing the door behind him.

Ari called out. I knocked but no one answered, I've got Thomas and Sister Mary Agnes with me.

Tony walked into the common area of the house; it's fine Ari we are okay. I believe it's time I have met my younger brother.

Thomas walked up to Tony and held his hand out to shake his brother's. Hello my name is Thomas I'm very glad to meet you Tiny, he responded.

I bet that Sister Mary Agnes had a lot to do with your proper manners.

Thomas smiled; she did, and if I forgot myself, she had no problem reminding my backside.

She has always been a stickler for proper manners. Let's take a seat on the sofa so we can all catch up. It's been years since I last saw Sister Mary Agnes.

Ari inquired; where's Donny Ray at Tony?

In his room, he shouldn't be out in his condition.

Before Tony could object Ari slipped away and went to Donnys room. Donny was sitting on the bed quietly crying. What in the hell has happened young man?

He was checking me out and he bit me. He walked behind me and started to sniff me and he bit my neck, he caused me to bleed it was so hard. He only let his grip loose when the bell rang out. He told me not to leave this room until he returned and I was taken care of. I'm scared Mr. Ari.

Ari went into a rage and stormed out of the room to find Tony. Tony Davenport, you have a lot of nerve; I don't care how you treated someone out on the street but that bullshit doesn't go on this farm. As Tony went to stand up his left jaw was caught by Ari's right hook knocking off of his feet.

Ari's aggression caught Sister Mary Agnes and Thomas by total surprise. Tony looked up at Ari in shock and said; what happened, what did I do?

You know exactly what you did young man, don't try to deny it.

I shook his hand introduced myself and the doorbell rang, I stepped out to greet you and you came into the house, I left him in the room by himself. What did I do that was so bad that you would strike me?

Ari looked at Tony and realized the young man had no knowledge of his actions. Tony, please take a seat, I need to call Mr. Ben and ask him to stop by here if they are still in the area.

Christian and Ian Miller bid the driver of the Delivery vehicle goodbye and thanked him for the ride.

Christian looked at his little brother and took a deep breath, he had never asked anyone for a favor much less someone for a place to live for him and his young brother. They only had each other to rely upon after the construction accident had claimed both of their parents.

Christian took to one knee and straightened Ian's clothing, they only had one chance to make a proper acquaintance. He took ahold of Ian's hand and started to walk towards the group of people gathered outside of the large home. They took a pathway that was well worn, he was nervous.

Christian walked up to the edge of the gathering area where he made himself known. Excuse me might I inquire if the owner to the home is available for discussion?

Dion stood up, as a matter fact I am what is your business here young man?

Christian was terrified at this point. My name is Christian Miller and I would like to know if there is work available here kind Sir?

Dion looked at the young man, he was pleased with what he saw good structure, good muscle tone and not bad looking. Behind him was another questionable figure. Who might the little one be young man?

This is my younger brother Ian Miller. I am looking for work, I have been educated at the University so if you hire me, you will not get a dumb ill-educated individual. The only thing that I require is a space for us to sleep enough money for food and clothing in a chance for it to be educated here by home training.

You know there's a big ranch down the road you can always go there and I'm sure that they can accommodate you.

Yes, Sir I know it's there but I wish to stay clear of others and Ian does not need that kind of environment to lead him astray. He must concentrate on his studies without any kind of distraction. I made a promise to our parents that he would be taking care of and well educated so that he could have a good life.

Dion looked the young man over and as with his little brother. Think we might need to sit down and get to know a few things about you and your brother before any decisions are made.

My kind Sir, can we not discuss certain things around Ian, he still has nightmares.

Dion shook his head in agreement, Thomas why don't you and young Ian go out to the paddock area and you can show him the Windemere's. Now Russel you know that you do not walk off into the pens you two must stay outside.

Yes Sir Mr. Dion, I understand what you're saying and neither one of us will go into the areas that we are not allowed. Come on Ian, you have got to see these things they are amazing. There was a new baby born this morning already, I think he is going to be great.

The two boys traipsed down the hillside toward the barn and the paddock areas that contained the Windemere's roaming area.

Okay young man; state your case remarked Dion.

We are alone just us two, I promised our parents if anything happened, I would honor their wishes by getting ourselves out of the city and away from the government oversight. Father was one way but dad did not trust the government in the city because of everything that he had seen growing up.

What happened young men where are your parents?

They were on the crew working on the new high-rise when it collapsed. They were buried up in the rubble we never recovered their bodies they were in the lower levels; many will never be found.

I understand, now tell me about your education and how you can fit in here.

I can see that there are many things to take place with all of the groundwork that is happening already. I have my degrees in accounting, auditing and inventory control and communications linguistics. I speak 17 languages and can decipher all 24 prominent languages. I'm sorry that I didn't learn to speak all 24 but dad said that that would come with time. Is there a chance that I might be of service to you Sir. For the time being I will pull weeds if I have to all I need is a place for sleep and Ian needs to be able to study his learning. I have all of his books with us and my higher education literature. If you need to see my degree which I finished in two and half years I have all of my diplomas and certifications. I must stay close to Ian as he grows to keep him control.

And about you and your needs, what about when it's your cycle time?

Oh, I'm so sorry, I am a human hybrid so I don't have that issue but in is a Genman hybrid so he must be watched when he comes in the transition.

Exactly how old are you Christian?

I am five cycles old, that is one thing that I inherited from dad. My growth pattern from dad my body from father, poor Ian was cursed to live his life as a Genman hybrid. Dad's words not mine, he blamed himself for not delivering two perfect blending's.

The two boys came back to the adults after visiting the Windemere's, Ian so excited and wanted to tell his brother everything he broke into the conversation only to be called down by Christian.

Ian, I know that you are excited but adults are talking right now so you have to wait and I will listen to you in a minute remember we use I respect full language when we deal with others especially adults.

Yes, Christian; he said in a lowered voice, I beg everyone's forgiveness for my lack of respect by talking out and I should have kept it to myself.

Dion laughed and took a knee beside the boy, the Windemere's are amazing are they not young man?

Yes, Sir Ian responded in a hushed tone.

Why don't the two of you boys go into the kitchen, I imagine someone in there could get you a glass of Coolwater and some muffins. But don't eat too much because you do not want to spoil your supper.

Ian forgot himself and hugged Dion's neck thanking him before he and Russell ran to the kitchen.

Christian, I know he's your little brother and there is a lot of responsibility laid upon your shoulders but ease up, the two of you will be just fine here. We watch after each other and make sure everyone is safe. Let me introduce to you our guest for the day and those that will be here working with you.

Daltas was the first to shake his hand and welcome him to the Williams farm. Rusty was the second followed by Palmer who nearly broke Christian's hand with his grip.

Palmer realized immediately that his grip was way too much and apologized. I'm used to pulling wire and other hard labor, I'm sorry that I squeeze your hand too hard.

That's okay, it's quite common with purebloods for them not to know their own strength. I do the same thing to common humans myself; I've had to adjust my actions not to give away my true lineage.

Rusty came up beside Palmer and draped his arm around his shoulder, and this pureblood is all mine. He let out a sudden gust of air when Palmer elbowed him.

We may be together but remember nobody owns me.

Rusty chuckled, typical pureblood no sense of humor. Welcome to the farm.

One by one they all introduced themselves to Christian and welcomed him to the farm.

Daltas remarked Dion; here's your helper. Use him why you have him to get everything in order, because I have a very strong feeling he will be moved to the communications array once it is up and running.

Yes Mr. Williams, he will be a great help with his education. I can certainly learn a thing or two from him. Plus, Yanisk won't be jealous due to the fact he is a human hybrid and will not be smelling up the office when it's his time. Not that I would be tempted but that's just one thing less I have to worry about working with someone in such close quarters.
