Although we were all pretty drunk last night we still remembered that we had decided to have a management meeting the following morning in our Scottish office.

Shirley being her organised self-had plenty of hot strong coffee and sandwiches on hand. The main item on the agenda was security not only in Scotland but at all our sites. Theft and vandalism was costing us a lot of money so it was decided that while Steve was in charge of all security he would hire regional managers to handle the day to day security on all our sites. He would vet all applicants very closely and if there was the slightest inclination of trouble then that person was not to be employed.

Steve we could see was worried that we would insist that he move back to our head office but we assured him that it didn't matter where he was based because he would have to be on the road most of the time. Bill suggested and we all agreed that he visit each and every site at least once a month, to achieve this he would have unlimited travel expenses.

"We have to get on top of this and quickly."

Robert said, with all of us agreeing.

Robert and I had already decided on a couple of items to be raised and it was now my turn.

"Both Robert and I also intend to visit our sites more often and show the workers who their bosses are."

There was silence at that last statement and I had a feeling not everyone agreed. Bill spoke up first.

"I'm not sure if that is a good idea boys, because some of our more mature workers may object being told what to do by a couple of kids."

Shirley and Steve both nodded their heads in agreement with Bill, while Tony and Trent agreed with us.

Robert spoke next,

"While I can see where you're coming from Bill, we do own this company and I'm sorry but if people don't like working for young gay men, and don't forget, the fact that we are gay. That has been a problem in the past just as much as our ages. Frankly if they don't like it they can piss off."

Nobody spoke for a while then Bill said,

"If that is what you want then that is what you get, but I still say we may lose some good tradesmen."

"Look Bill, We won't be telling them how to do their job, but we will expect some respect plus Michael and I won't go in holding hands and making out in front of all and sundry and we promise to keep our pants on at all times."

This brought forth laughter around the table and eased the tension which was beginning to creep in.

The next item and the most important was what were we going to do with my brothers, who looked as if they were never going to let go until they had done away with me.

We decided that we would engage a local barrister, because Scottish law was slightly different to English. Steve would stay on to help Tony and Trent organize the legalities and of course he would need to give evidence as well in court.

"Do you think Robert and I will be required in court?" I asked.

"Possibly." Said Steve adding that he would be in touch if that was necessary we could fly back up.

"As far as I'm concerned I no longer have any brothers or parents and I want them put away for a very long time."

Everyone nodded in agreement with me and the meeting was over.

We sat around drinking coffee and chatting in general until it was time for Robert, Bill, Shirley and I to fly back home.

It was pretty late by the time we did get home and after a quick snack, a sexy shower it was off to bed.

Lying in bed close to each other, so close that our naked bodies were touching, I could feel the love that we had being transferred from one body to the other. For some strange reason we both began crying at the same time.

Turning to face each other almost as if we were reading each other's minds, our arms began to encircle each other as the tears rolled down our cheeks.

I for one had no idea why I was crying and I suspect my lover didn't either. We clung closely to each other until our tears began to subside.

"Why are we crying my darling?"

Robert asked.

"I don't know but suddenly I felt terribly sad and at the same time so much in love, it was a mixture of love and sadness".

"What made you sad?"

"I was thinking of my family or those who used to be my family, and for some strange reason I felt sorry for them. None of them have had much of a life and there is no hope for them in the future, all that will happen is that they will be in and out of jail for the rest of their lives which isn't much to look forward to is it? While I met and fell in love with the man of my dreams, who I intend to spend the rest of my life with a life hopefully full of happiness and joy. So the tears were sorrow for my family and joy because I have you my darling."

Those remarks set us both off crying again in each other's arms our tears wetting each other's shoulders and chest.

"What started you crying?"

"For some strange reason I started to think about my parents dying long before their time, I was thinking how happy they would have been to see us two so much in love and happy with each other."

We gently kissed and caressed each other for a while then Robert continued.

"Of course they are watching over us and I'm sure they are happy with what we are doing and the success we are having not only with the business but with each other."

More silence followed.

"Just a couple of days before they left on their trip my mother said to me, you have found a lifetime partner Robert look after him and cherish him and you will always be happy and in love."

This statement took me by surprise but I didn't say anything.

"The only regrets my mother had was that I would never have children to carry on the name."

You may recall quite a while we talked about adopting a child, deciding to wait until we were older.

"Maybe now is the time to begin thinking about adoption."

I said.

"Yes I think we are old enough and wise enough now to consider a child."

Robert said. More silence followed as we both pondered on the prospects of bringing a child into our relationship.

"What do we do? Who do we talk to about it? Are we really sure this is what we want?"

Robert pondered on my questions for a while before answering.

"To be honest darling I haven't a clue, maybe we should have a talk with Cliff's mum, and she's is a lot wiser and knowledgeable about life that anyone gives her credit for."

I agreed before reaching over to kiss my lover long and deeply. There was no thought of sex that night in either of our minds, just love.

Sleep overtook us, and we slept soundly in each other's arms content in the knowledge that we had each other for ever.

The next couple of days were spent looking at new office buildings with Bill, which was boring but we had to find bigger premises for the company. We finally settled on a eight story block of fairly new offices which would suit us admirably. The next thing was to call tenders for the fitting out of the building.

Shirley called us asking that we come along to her office immediately and bring Bill along as well.

She sounded very excited on the phone and when we entered her office she was beaming all over her face.

"You look like the cat that got the cream."

Bill remarked. With a smirk on her face Shirley said,

"You will be smiling too when I tell you that we have been invited to tender for a multi-million pound contact to build a sewerage works in Spain."

There was silence for a while until the words sunk in.

"Wow."

Was all Robert could say.

"Were in Spain?"

Bill wanted to know.

"Just out of Madrid, when it's built it will be big enough to treat all the sewerage in Madrid."

"My god, that's some big job which will be in the region of 200 million pounds."

All this time Robert and I sat there dumfounded.

"Anyway,"

Shirley continued.

"They want a delegation to travel to Spain and meet with the Madrid city council engineers to discuss the whole project."

Bill spoke up this time.

"Who do you want to look after this operation? It's a biggie so we need someone with experience and also because it's overseas someone we can rely on and trust."

"Bill, you will be the director of operations as always, but if the Scottish project is finished on time, which I believe it will I would like Tony and Trent to tackle this job."

Robert said. Bill thought for a while before speaking.

"Don't you think they are a bit too young and lack experience?"

"I certainly believe they are capable of doing the job, when we were in Scotland I was very impressed with the way they handled that job which after all was a big project and apart from the vandalism and thefts they look like coming in under budget and ahead of time."

Bill shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Ok you're the bosses it is up to you but I have a feeling your letting something else rule your head."

I could see Robert was getting a bit hot under the collar and his reply was curt and to the point.

"Are implying that I want those two because they are gay?"

"Well it certainly appears that way to me."

"Those two are dam hard workers who have gone from being apprentices to part of our management team not just because they are gay, but because they showed they were capable of doing the job. If you think this is wrong of me then I think it is time for the us to look at our relationship Bill."

I jumped in quick to try and smooth things over, after all we didn't want to part with Bill and Robert would kick himself after if that is what happened.

"Come on you two let's just calm down and look at the whole job objectively, firstly let's forget their sexual preferences, both of them are talented young men with some great ideas on how the job should be done and they have proved with the Scottish job that they are good at their job. Another point worth considering is that they are totally in love with each other so there will be no outside influences like a couple of Spanish beauties putting them off the job in hand."

This brought smiles on everyone's faces and relieved the tension a bit but I could still see that Bill was not entirely convinced.

Bill after a few minutes of silence, (well it appeared to be minutes but I suppose it was only seconds) said,

"Well I can see your minds are made up and putting a young team in there might even work and my apologies Robert but I was only thinking of the company, I should have realised that because they were gay was not the only reason you wanted them for the job. You are just like your father willing to give anything a try. I can tell you now that he thought long and hard about taking those two on as apprentices because they were gay but decided to take a chance and it worked. That was before he found out about you and Michael. Your father was like you always willing to try something new and different."

Robert stood up and extended his hand to Bill who shook it before pulling Robert into a manly embrace.

It was decided that Robert and I along with Bill, Trent and Tony would fly to Madrid next week for meetings with the Madrid city council.

Meanwhile Bill would travel to Manchester for meetings with our accountant, Paul to discuss facts and figures.

Robert said he would phone the two in Scotland and make sure they were interested in taking the job. I also rang Cliff's mum inviting her out to dinner tomorrow night so we could talk a bit more about adoption or other ways of us rearing a child of our own. In my own mind I had the idea of using a mixture of our sperm and placing it inside a surrogate mother. This was unheard of in Britain but apparently had been done in America and also Sweden.

We arrived home just in time to have a shower, get ready to take mum out to dinner. She had arranged for her two daughters to go and visit a school friend, although she told us later that they were more than likely meeting up with their boyfriends.

We queried the problem that they might get pregnant and she told us they were on the pill, trying this new wonder drug just being introduced in Britain.

"They are sensible girls and I'm sure they won't do anything silly."

I'm getting in front of myself. During the shower we had our usual little kiss and cuddle washing each other, but that was as far as it got because we didn't have much time.

We were drying each other when I asked Robert how the phone conversation went with Tony and Trent.

"When I first mentioned what we had in mind there was total silence for a while and I thought we had been cut off, but it was a big surprise to the both of them. The outset is, if we have enough faith in them to do the job then they will do it, to the best of their ability."

That sounded fair enough to me, plus they told Robert that they can safely leave the Scottish job next week because it is almost finished.

With Natalie our bodyguard driving we picked up Cliff's mum and headed into town to a very nice Steakhouse we had recently discovered. We asked Natalie if she wouldn't mind eating on her own because we had something delicate to ask mum.

Our minder chose a table not too far away from us were she could sit with her back to the wall and see all that was going on.

Once we had finished the main course while waiting for the desert we asked mum's opinion on adoption and so on. We had already told her the good news about Spain and how we would be there next week.

Robert explained what we had in mind and what did she think we should do.

"We would love to have a child of our own but of course this cannot be, so we were seriously thinking about adoption, which is difficult for same sex couples while the alternative would be entering into a contract with a surrogate mother."

Cliff's mum interrupted us asking what a surrogate mother was she had never heard before of it before. Robert explained that a woman is contracted to have a child by artificial insemination and after the birth it is handed to the couple who contracted her.

Cliff's mum shuddered remarking what a cold unloving business that was.

"Were on earth would you find someone to do that for you?"

"Money can buy anything mum."

Again she shuddered and pulled a face.

I'm not in agreement with that."

She remarked.

"Listen to me closely, just before you were all excited because you are going to Spain, plus you dash about her there and everywhere with your business, what's going to happen to the poor little baby while your rushing around not only the countryside but now the world?. Are you going to hire a nanny to raise the child? If so what's the point of you two having an offspring when someone else is bringing it up, and have you thought about the nights when you have to get up and feed the poor mite or walk the floor because the child won't stop crying and then you have to go to work next morning or is one of you going to be the mother while the dad goes out to work, I don't suppose you've even thought about that have you?"

We admitted that nothing like that had crossed our minds and while what she said made sense both of us felt very depressed and down.

"We'll really have to think this out won't we mum?"

Robert said.

"Yes, there is a lot involved in bringing up children especially by two young business men. I can see where you're coming from boys and it would be nice to have a little one to be there keeping the family name going, and that is something else you have to think about who's name are you going to keep going? It's not as simple as you two make it out to be, and don't worry I have already been down this path with Cliff and Derek although they are now quite happy because they have Peter carrying on the Driscoll name."

While it was a lovely meal and great to have Cliff's mum with us because she is a wonderful lady who has had a hard life in the past. It did leave us despondent and down in the dumps.

That night lying in bed we both felt terribly depressed.

"Never mind darling, perhaps it's for the best and maybe we'll find another Peter who is already toilet trained and can wash himself."

Robert smiled, I agreed but could tell that like me he was disappointed and down hearted.

"Goodnight my sweetheart, sleep well, I love you dearly and always will."

With that I kissed him tenderly on the lips as we drifted off to sleep.

This chaptered posed a question should young same sex partners adopt a child and is it in order to have a surrogate give them a baby.
