Previously

Timothy noticed that Jeremy, William and Heather were all sitting together chatting away like good friends. Jeremy's meeting with them must have gone well. He would find out later. Timothy talked to Kenneth for a while and then challenged his guy to a game of pool. They were both overjoyed with the week and all that they had accomplished. Not every week would be as exciting but they both agreed to enjoy it.

They ended up at the club with excited explanations of their week to Tom and Eric. They danced several slow danced holding each other closely. At that moment, there was no one else in the club, just them holding each other feeling the heat of their partner's body moving to the sensuous beat of the music. Magic.

They finally separated. They looked at each other with intense looks. As they turned to go to their table. Jeremy chuckled looking over to the far side of the dance floor. "Looks as if Philipo and I were correct; it turned out to be more than some food and a drink."

Timothy followed Jeremy's line of sight. There was Jason and John dancing almost standing still, tightly together, kissing each other in what appeared to be a very sensual kiss.

Timothy whispered, "I am so happy for them. John is a great guy and I am so glad that he has found what I have found." He turned and pulled his guy to him and gave Jeremy the same kiss.

Jeremy smiled. "They remind me of us just a few minutes ago. Time to go." He pulled Timothy even tighter and both could feel the others growing reaction. It was going to be an interesting finish to an incredible week.

Present

Jeremy had changed his phrase from the night before at the club. After they left the club, it was an incredible finish to an interesting week.

They had a lot of fun looking at induction stoves. Timothy might give that up for a gas fireplace. However, it was the rugs that totally grabbed their attention. They went to one of the best oriental rug shops in the city. They learned a huge amount about knot count, textures, materials used, dyes, styles and the types of rugs from different countries. They were given some pamphlets and the names of reference books that they could buy or take out of the Library.

They lost their game, one of their few defeats of the season. Jeremy wondered if he and Timothy had been off somewhere else, distracted by the week. They had a wonderful lunch with Momma and Pops on Sunday and then supper at the Malenfant's where they caught the entire family up with the week's events.

The weekend had flown by and suddenly they were both leaving for work on Monday. If all the papers were signed in the next few days, they would take possession of the house on the last Monday in October. The bank had insisted that an independent home assessment was done by a company of the bank's choosing as the house was being used as collateral for the mortgage. That was scheduled for later in the week.

Now they had to start to check all the arrangements for Thanksgiving. They had previously established who was staying at the chalet and they had reserved a room for Gio and Kevin in a good motel close to the chalet. Tony and family were celebrating Thanksgiving with his wife's family this year. It was still going to be a large group for Thanksgiving dinner on the Sunday, for the weekend actually.

Both guys were happy that Momma, Pops, Jamie and Philipo were staying with them at the chalet along with the Malenfants, MC, Pierre and Luc.. Timothy and Jeremy were sleeping in the living room or the front porch on air mattresses; that brought back exciting memories of their night in the tent on July 1.

They would have to make yet more lists about food, DVDs and some games to play together.

Jeremy was full of energy as he entered his office. The case that he had was interesting. Jeremy had suggested to William that they work in his office and he warned William about his chaos. As the morning progressed, William warmed to Jeremy's methods. By the end of the day, the guys were often on their knees looking for and rearranging documents. William was impressed by Jeremy's daily log. They had made some progress on the case and on their relationship.

Timothy worked hard and between clients, he had finished the material that he had put together and had made an appointment to see the partner, Mr. Rushworth, who had first offered him his present job. He wanted to alert him to what he was going to do and run his handouts by him. Timothy saw the little smile on his face as he explained and then the look as he reviewed his material. Mr. Rushworth had no problems with it. He commented that there would be some dissent but that Timothy should answer the questions and put it in the context of why his department was trying to do this. Keep it simple was his suggestion.

The day passed quickly for him. He was finishing off after his last client when he realized that John was at his door.

"Boss, could I have word with you?"

With a big smile, Timothy told him to come in. Timothy was surprised when John shut the door.

"Hope this isn't bad news?"

"No nothing like that. Can I talk about something really personal?'

Timothy nodded yes. "You look a little upset. Problems?"

"No not really. It is about Jason and me. There is no problem between us but ...."

"Can I guess?" John shrugged his shoulders. "It is getting close to Thanksgiving and you and Jason want to celebrate it together. However, your family doesn't know about you and Jason and you are expected at your parents' home for Thanksgiving." John simply nodded yes. Timothy smiled. "I have been there, July 1st."

"I am not sure what to do. I think that my father in particular will be very upset."

Timothy sat quietly contemplating what to say. "This is your first gay relationship. Are you certain that you are gay or is it just Jason?"

"Does it make a difference?"

Again thoughtful, "Hypothetical. If Jason were to come to you and say that he was leaving you, what would you do?" Timothy held up his hand to stop the reply. "You would be devastated but eventually, would you go out and look for another guy or would you look for a woman to take his place? My question is, are you gay, are you bisexual or is it just Jason? Depending on the answer, do you want to out yourself to your parents?"

"Boss, I can see why you are good in court. I never thought of it like that."

"I would also suggest that breaking news like this on a holiday is not the best idea. You could try my unsuccessful attempt." He outlined it to him.

"Oh you mean a friend who can't make it back to his parents and I want him to have somewhere to go on Thanksgiving."

"Right but I'll remind you again that that didn't work for me but it was a day and a night at the chalet for us. In addition, there were rumours about Jeremy's orientation and we slept in a tent together. But, this is just an afternoon and supper for you here in the city. If you decide that you are gay, then you will have to make a decision about telling your folks. After Thanksgiving. You had better coordinate your stories, why he can't make it back to his parents, where you met. How close are you, a good friend or a passing acquaintance?"

"Boss, you really are thoughtful. Remind me. What made you decide?"

"I had known for years that I was gay and I was not a virgin." He chuckled. "I fell for Jeremy and then I decided that it was time, no matter what happened between him and me. I had placed high in my law class. I had a position with one of the best law firms in town. I had been working for a number of years and I had saved a lot of money and invested it well. Jeremy wanted to share my entire life. I had been accepted by his family with open arms. Yes, for me it was time. So July 2, after the big party at the chalet."

"Thanks Boss. We could go to his parents but that would raise questions for me at home. I'll talk it over with Jason. Oh by the way, I might be interested in having a court case. It has always been an interest for me."

John reached over and shook Timothy's hand. When he had left, Timothy breathed a sigh of satisfaction. John had finally opened up to him. Again he would not raise the topic; John would have to take the lead on that. Interested in a court case. Even more interesting.

At home, they reviewed their day and were certain that all the papers for the house sale were where they should be. They were now waiting for the last item to be approved, a house appraisal and the bank accepting them for a mortgage.

They had a quiet night and were ready for the practice the next evening. The practice went very well as all the guys were raring to win the next game after the poor showing on Saturday. Jeremy could feel that their focus was back.

Timothy was in early to work on Wednesday preparing himself for the meeting at 10. He did have client from 8:30 to 9:30 and it went well. He arrived at the meeting rather nervous. This was his first presentation to the group for his department. Those two words still shocked him sometimes, his department. He decided that he would treat it as a court case. He would give a short introduction, hand out some of his print outs, his evidence. and then prepare for the cross examination. Only the difference was that he was the one in the witness box.

Finally his agenda item came up. "Ladies and gentleman, when I was asked to take this job, I was told that we would like to build my department and we would like in particular to increase the number of French speaking clients. My team, the head of IT and myself have worked on these proposed changes to our web site in an effort to increase our French speaking, same sex clients. It is not the only approach but it is a place to start."

He handed out the print out of the proposed web site and their page after one clicked on the LGBT link. He gave them time to look at it. He could see a trace of a smile on Mr. Rushworth's face who also mouthed 'a good presentation' to him.

One of the older partners indicated that he wanted to speak. "I don't see why we should highlight just one department like this. Why are we trying to cater to the French speaking community?" He sounded a bit grumpy.

"Point taken sir. First the same sex community is relatively small but because we are basically known as an English based firm, it makes the size of the community that we service that much smaller. This firm has specialized in same sex law for years now and my proposal is meant to widen the number who we can potentially serve. We do have an expertise here. Luckily, all my department can speak French so there is no problem there."

He looked at all the faces around the table. The IT head spoke up. "I feel that Mr. Malenfant has done an exceptionally good modification of our web site. If anyone else is interested, I have ideas on how we can change it for the firm. I have been thinking for a while that our site needs an update and this may be the first move."

"What about the cost?"

Timothy, too himself, thank you Mr. Rushworth. To the meeting, "I have figures here that would indicate the cost if we look strictly at the time and effort to accomplish this." When they all looked at his next sheet with his estimates, he was certain that he saw a smile on the Chairs' face.

The IT Head spoke up. "These costs would be the cost if we put the proposal out as a contract but I see this as part of my day to day job to support efforts to attract more clients." Turning to Timothy, "Mr. Malenfant, I suspect that your clients may have a fair amount of disposable income. They would be excellent people to have as clients."

He didn't have a definitive answer for that so he was not going to make one up. "It would appear to be so but unfortunately, I have no figures to prove or disprove that one way or another."

The Chair spoke up. "Mr. Malenfant, thank you for the very detailed documentation and for keeping your presentation short. If there are no more comments, I would submit this to a vote." It was unanimous except for the grumpy partner who abstained. His first presentation was approved.

As they left the meeting the Chair approached him. "Timothy, it appears that we made the right choice for Head of your department. One of the best proposal that we have had before us. Very well done."

With a bit of smile. "There may be more coming sir but that is for another day and I shall talk to you first before I present my next proposal."

"Always sooner than later if you can."

He entered the office. To Mme. Chenier, "We did it. When John and Andrew are finished would you let them know that I want to see them for a minute before they leave for lunch."

"Guys, we did it. Our presentation was accepted. The IT head feels that he can have it up and running by mid next week. Well done gentlemen." The guys looked pleased.

The mortgage was approved on Friday and they were the owners of a house. Each were a little shell shocked, in a good way. John had quietly told Timothy at the pub after work on Friday that he had invited Jason to his house for Thanksgiving. They kept the story simple and it did help that Jason's parents lived some distance from the city. They all celebrated big time on Friday night.

It was obvious to all how close Jason and John had become and Jason was now accepted as part of the group. They spent quite a while at their table talking to Tom and Eric before they went back to the table of Jason's friends. Timothy would place a bet that John's father was in for a surprising talk with his son shortly after Thanksgiving.

Both guys were surprised how fast the weeks before Thanksgiving went. Jeremy and William finished their case. William was showing a new confidence and acceptance in the office. Jeremy made certain that Heather and William had a case to work together. David had joked that he would soon be out of a job if Jeremy kept organizing his staff for him.

Timothy started the task of renewing and possibly renovating the office. He sat down with Mme. Chenier, Andrew and John to discuss two plans. He said that he would go down and discuss it with Head of Planning, Louise Mitchell, to get an idea of what was possible. He then planned a meeting with her and his staff. He wanted them all to take ownership. They had really worked well on the web site issue. His idea was both the addition of a small conference room and the updating of the furniture, the replacement of the ugly carpets and painting the office in more attractive colours. Already at their first meeting, they had thrown out all sorts of interesting ideas.

All the papers and arrangements were made for the house and it was now just a time for waiting and planning. They had sat down with Pops and set up some meetings after Thanksgiving with a company that would help them plan their renovation. In particular, both guys were interested in what could be done with the kitchen and an ensuite bathroom off the master bedroom. They had already decided not to put on an addition but they did want a back deck.

As if by magic, it was the Friday before Thanksgiving and the guys were loading the car with what seemed like a mountain of food and stuff. Timothy had been really touched by his father. They had been over for a dinner and his father had asked when they planned on going up to the Chalet. They said Friday to open it and get ready for the next day. His father had asked if they minded if he and Timothy's mother could come up Friday as well. When asked why they want to come up then, his father had said that he wanted some time with his son and Jeremy. He was missing seeing them and he and his mother just wanted some time with them alone before the gang arrived. As Timothy said to Jeremy later, that that request had almost brought him to tears. His mother had told them not to bring any food on Friday as there would be some there when they arrived. Again both guys were touched.

When they finally arrived, the chalet was shining brightly in the late evening dusk. The place was open and the lights were on and welcoming. His mother had made one of Timothy's favourite things, her chicken pot pie. There was a lovely Canadian Riesling to go with it. What a wonderful way to start this special weekend.

They spent a great evening over supper and wine. They had unloaded the car and the turkey was in the refrigerator along with all the other supplies. They were sleeping in their bedroom which would be given over to Momma and Pops the next nights.

When they finally went to bed, Jeremy suspected that sleep would be the last thing on Timothy's mind. There had been several rather not so innocent touches and looks at various times during the evening. Jeremy could tell that his guy wanted him badly. He wasn't sure how it would go but it would be quiet but intense.

He was correct. They entered the room and Timothy had turned on the bedside table lamp and closed the door. Jeremy found himself pushed up against the door and then being kissed very passionately.

"I never dreamed that my father would take you on as his second son. You two get on so well and mother simply adores you."

"Ah, what can I say. They see the real me."

"Yeah, if they could see you now, they might change their minds." Timothy pushed himself off Jeremy enough to scan his body. "Yeah, your pants are tented. You are such a turn on ... and to me, you look good enough to eat."

With that, Timothy was very soon on his knees with Jeremy's pants and shorts around his ankles and Timothy was discovering yet again that Jeremy was indeed very good to eat. Timothy looked up and could see that Jeremy's eyes were closed and he had look of total pleasure on his face. That changed to a quiet groan when Timothy pulled the hair on his legs.

Whispering, Jeremy, "I don't know how you do this to me."

With a saucy smile, "You are just so easy. There are days when I think that a breeze can get you in this condition but luckily yet again, Dr. Malenfant has a cure for it."

Timothy stood up and pulled Jeremy by his inflamed member to the side of the bed. Timothy took off Jeremy's shirt and t shirt. What a magnificent sight!

Jeremy slowly undressed his guy. "I think that you are permanently ready."

"Only for you."

It was intense but quiet. In fact, they ended up facing each other using only their hands with lots of lube. Each was watching the others face to time the ending together and minutes later Jeremy shot a huge first shot onto Timothy who quickly took over from Jeremy's hand and they finished close together. It was a great end to a really good day.

There was no repeat the next morning. There was just too much to do. They were having coffee and cereal when Mrs. M came into the kitchen with Mr. M not far behind. Timothy had outlined the work ahead of them and who would be doing what. His first task was to start the stuffing. He had decided to put all the dry ingredients together and then saute all the onions, celery, garlic and sausages. They were all put in separate bags and put in the refrigerator. One less job for the next day. He had found a really interesting recipe which he had printed out.

Around 11:30 people started to arrive. Lunch had been given to Jamie and Philipo to organize. They arrived together in Philipo's SUV with Momma and Pops. Timothy ran out with Jeremy following to greet them.

Momma got out of the SUV and looked around almost in shock. She looked at Timothy. "This is beautiful. I had no idea. What a wonderful idea my two young men had.

She reached out and grabbed hold of Timothy and hugged him hard with kisses. Then it was Jeremy's turn.

Then it was Pops. "I want a full tour. This is a wonderful spot on a wonderful day. We are blessed." Big man hugs to his young men.

Jamie looked at the two. "Guys, I had no idea how beautiful the place was. We get to stay here until Monday? We may never want to move back to the city."

Philipo just gave them a shake of the head and a smile and an even bigger hug than Jamie had given.

There were more effusive thanks when they went into the chalet to be welcomed by the Malenfants. Soon they were taken to their rooms and Jamie and Philipo were out in the kitchen ready to get lunch together. Momma was right with them. Timothy gave her, Philipo and Jamie a tour of the kitchen and the pantry. Jamie and Momma were in their element, in the kitchen, Jamie in charge with Momma and Philipo helping.

They heard a car approaching. MC, Pierre and Luc. Jeremy was the first out. More hugs and handshakes. Within an instant, Luc was in Jeremy's arms with Jeremy talking to him French. Jeremy took him quickly into the kitchen where he became the centre of attention and then Jeremy carefully went down to the lake with Luc while everything was sorted. Timothy had a broad smile on his face as he watched Jeremy and Luc throwing small stones in the water. He could hear Luc's giggles of joy.

Lunch was that wonderful total chaos of so many people talking and grabbing food. Jamie had made a really good lentil and sausage soup with delicious ciabatta buns both white and whole wheat and several excellent cheeses. The first bottles of wine, beer and soft drinks were opened. They had brought several large 2 litre tubs of various flavours of ice cream for dessert. A veritable feast and this was just the beginning.

At one point, Timothy put his arm around Jeremy's shoulder, "Thanks for the idea. It is so wonderful to have everyone here like this. You looked so at peace with Luc down by the water. He is growing and beginning to talk a bit. He walks with determination just like all the family, both sides."

Gio and Kevin arrived just as everyone had finished eating. There had been a computer problem at Gio's work and he had to go in to solve it and get the system up running again. Jamie had made certain that food had been left for them. Again Jeremy was so happy to see how Jamie greeted Gio. They had become quite close. Timothy remembered the stories of their talks that led to Gio and Kevin meeting and becoming partners. He suddenly realized that there were three gay couples at this weekend and it obviously made no difference to anyone. Then he saw his guy laughing and joking with Pierre and MC. As usual, it was Jeremy who had the little guy in tow. Timothy's smile was one of love and contentment.

They had some some volleyball nets which were quickly set up after lunch along with an old croquet set that Mr. and Mrs. M and Momma said that they preferred over the more strenuous volleyball. The guys tried to convince them to try the volleyball. All refused.

They were right. The volleyball became very testosterone driven even with MC playing with the guys. No one wanted to be beaten. So partners played against partners and neither side was going to accept defeat. It was decided that Kevin would join Timothy, MC and Philipo. As would be expected the game was boisterous with the 'adults' looking on making disparaging comments about both sides. When they broke, the games were tied and Timothy's father had called it a draw and announced that refreshments would be served on the front porch.

Timothy couldn't resist. As Jeremy walked over to the porch, Timothy, "We let you draw. We didn't want to beat you with MC on our team." That got a reaction from both Jeremy and MC who had played a very good game. Timothy winked at her and she smiled.

"No we took pity on you because she was great and the rest of you were like children. Oh so weak. We'll see tomorrow or Monday who are the real men here."

Jeremy scowled at him. "Yeah, promises, promises. Again." He rolled his eyes.

MC shook her head in mock disgust at the two and the guys smiled at each other and walked to the porch with arms around their shoulders.

Mrs. M had put on quite a spread along with Mr. M, with very good wine, beer, some scotches, soft drinks, pates, crackers, chips, and nuts. There were a lot of comments about the wonderful food and how good it tasted after after an afternoon of exercise.

Momma, Mrs. M and Jamie soon disappeared to put supper together. The guys looked into the kitchen. As Jeremy and Timothy guessed it was an Italian feast. Momma actually outdid herself. He realized that Jamie and Kevin had also brought some Italian dishes. Everyone was trying to help Momma out. The smells from the kitchen eventually started to waft out to the porch.

Jeremy looked at the crowd and held up his hand. "I think that we should stop with the food here. From the smells and knowing Momma, she has probably outdone herself and we had better leave some room for a fabulous dinner."

Pops gave Jeremy one loving look as he nodded his head yes. It was clear that Jeremy really understood both his grandparents. Timothy felt so lucky.

What could anyone say about the dinner that they had, from Italian appetizers to dessert? It was clear that Momma had put her heart into the meal. Timothy had asked Pops to say grace and Timothy had looked at Momma at the end of the grace and spoke a few extra words. "Momma, when Jeremy and I planned this weekend, we never dreamed about the love and affection that we would feel around this table. Thank you for this wonderful meal. It pulls us together as families, something so important to both of us. A toast to all who helped with this meal and especially to Momma." There was a rousing cheer as glasses clinked. Momma again was at a loss for words. She smiled at Timothy and explained all the dishes giving credit to Jamie and to Kevin for the dishes that they had brought. Jeremy touched his guy's hand under the table as a thank you.

Timothy by the end of the meal began to wonder if Thanksgiving dinner would be a let down after all this wonderful meal.

They rested and then decided on a game of hearts. Again partner ended up trying to get partner, there were laughs and cries of pain as people were left with high counting hands. They finally all agreed that it was time for bed.

It was going to be a fairly mild night so Timothy at Jeremy's urging agreed that they should sleep on the porch.

Timothy had looked at his guy with suspicious eyes. "You want to get me out of the Chalet away from everyone. You just want to get your hands on my sexy body."

Jeremy looked back at him with innocent eyes. " What, me?" He paused and then that trademark smile spread over his face that could melt Timothy in a moment. "Yep."

They had blown up the air mattresses in advance and they unzipped the sleeping bags. They turned off most of the lights and put on tops and put the bottoms beside the air mattresses. They had brought dressing gowns with them and put them beside them as well. They had moved the air mattresses out of sight of the doorway.

"What a great day. You said the nicest things to Momma. I could tell that she was touched."

"I was so proud of you. All this was your idea and it has brought our two families together."

"Jamie seemed a bit distracted at times today as if he was thinking about something else. I noticed that Philipo put his arm around him a couple of times and Jamie sunk into him. My god how close those too are! They didn't think that I could hear them but so many nights and mornings, they drove me up the wall hearing them at it. I learned more about life and love from those two than my own parents. I should try and talk to him tomorrow if I get a chance. You know they remind me of you, smart, loving, caring and horny as hell"

"Hey, it takes two. You are exactly like them. Could be their son. Oh that's right you are in a strange way but you really are their son."

Timothy reached over and pulled his guy to him. There wasn't a lot more said but there was a lot more done quietly and it was not quick. They edged several times, stopping to kiss and feel and touch the other. Luckily Timothy had thought of everything and there was a clean towel for the very necessary clean up later. Before he fell asleep, Timothy did think back to that night in July in the tent with his lover. It had only gotten better, so much better.
