Tommy and Tanner, chapter 13

The tired but happy campers arrived home on Saturday afternoon. Lee stayed to help clean up the equipment, so Tark and Teri insisted that he join them for supper. Teri had prepared several salads ahead and had made up hamburger patties to grill.

The returning campers dug into the greens as heartily as they did the meat because they hadn't had much of that kind of food for several days, other than the fruit Tark had purchased to keep them regular. Being used to healthy diets, they loved the variety.

When twilight began to settle in, Lee said he should be going home, but no one was eager to see him leave.

"Why don't you stay overnight and drive home in the morning after breakfast?" Tark suggested.

"I don't have anything clean left to wear." Lee said, shaking his head.

"We can throw your stuff in the washer with ours." Tim was quick to respond.

"You can stay in the top bunk in our room," Tommy invited. "We're going to share the double on the bottom from now on anyway."

"Yeah, like you haven't been already," Tucker snickered. "Hey Lee, you can sleep on the trundle in my room if you don't want to be around those two gay lovebirds," he offered.

"Thanks Tuck. That's very kind, but I think I'll bunk with them. You know about birds of a feather flocking together."

"Be careful about the flockin' stuff," Tuck giggled.

"Be careful with the innuendos, Tucker!" Teri cautioned, trying not to smile at his cleverness.

A couple of hours later, after the laundry load was dry, everyone retired for the night.

"Tark, we have to talk," Teri said in a serious tone that got his attention immediately.

"Okay, what's up?"

"I've missed my period."

"So? You don't have anything to worry about since I got my tubes snipped." Tark said.

"But I AM worried. You know I'm so regular that the people tending the atomic clock consult with me to see if it needs tweaking," she joked.

"I do remember counting 28 days between when you'd have PMS and circling the dates on my calendar each month to avoid being killed! But that was before having kids. You're not like that now."

"Yes, my body has changed some and I'm not bitchy on those days anymore, but I'm still as regular as a clock. What if I am pregnant?"

"Then we'll hope for a little girl this time."

"But since you've had a vasectomy and I haven't been running around, is this a repeat of the Immaculate Conception? Honest, I've never even thought of cheating on you!"

"I trust you. You COULD be pregnant with my kid. Don't you remember that story on ABC about a woman who didn't even know she was pregnant and delivered a baby boy in the bathtub in the middle of the night? Her husband's vasectomy had failed several years after it was done. Some of the news reporters and comedians made fun initially, saying that she was no doubt running around on him. Well, if you ARE pregnant, we have the same situation."

"If I am pregnant, I want you tested for sperm count! I don't want any doubt."

"It's not necessary on my account," Tark insisted.

"It is on mine!"

"When do you think it could have happened," Tark asked.

"Maybe it was in the moonlight in the back yard when the boys were at scout camp. As I recall, you sent me to heaven more than once. That would have been in the middle of my cycle and my most fertile time, and you certainly filled me up!"

"Hmmm, you know, that night I felt like I did when our others were conceived."

"I don't know how you could feel something different. Isn't one orgasm much like any other?"

"Not exactly, some are more memorable than others. All three times it was like I knew. I can't explain it. This time, I figured I was nuts because it shouldn't be able to happen. I'll bet you ARE pregnant. How soon can we test?"

"We can get a kit and do it tomorrow."

"Cool! I hope it's positive."

"I love you Tark."

"I love you too. Want me to prove it?"

"Show me some `hard' evidence!" she challenged feeling his awakening cock through his underwear.

"Let's take a quick shower and get to it," he grinned.

On Sunday, after thanking his hosts profusely for "adopting" him into the extended family and including him on the trip, Lee said his good-byes and left for home. Teri immediately drove to the store and purchased a pregnancy testing kit on the pretext of needing to buy some ingredients from the supermarket for what she was going to prepare for dinner.

When she got home, she and Tark disappeared into the bedroom to put the kit to use. Their cries of happiness made their sons wonder what, exactly, they were up to.

"Guys," Tark called. "We need a short family meeting in the living room, on the double, for an important announcement."

Tommy, Tanner, and Tucker were in the kitchen together at the time and Tuck volunteered to shag Tim out of his bedroom where he was taking a nap.

"Dad wants us upstairs," Tuck said after nudging Tim awake.

"Couldn't this wait? I was having this awesome dream about being naked on a beach with a lot of beautiful women."

"Well, check your shorts for cum spots and get your butt in gear," Tuck teased.

"Aye, aye, little Bro!"

When they were all assembled in the living room, Tark took Teri's hand to make their big announcement. He was grinning from ear to ear.

"We're going to have a baby!"

"Wow!" Tuck enthused. "That's cool! Is it a boy or girl?"

"It's too early to tell," Teri said. "I'll have to have an ultrasound in a couple of months."

"Uh, how is it possible?" Tim frowned.

"You know how it's done," Tuck snickered.

"Of course, Twerp, but Dad's had the operation."

"Oh?" Tuck responded, having never heard that bit of information.

"Tuck, I discussed birth control methods in more depth some time ago with your brothers and you're now old enough to hear it too. I had a vasectomy a few years ago which means the doctor cut my vas deferens; those are the tubes that carry the sperm. It's normally the most effective method of birth control available, short of having your gonads cut off. However, like most other things, it's not 100%. Sometimes one of the tubes grows back together. Evidently that's what happened to me."

For the fourth time in a week, Tucker felt like he had entered the adult world. He had been allowed to be on a nude beach, he'd touched a girl (perhaps), he'd squirted cum, and now his parents were sharing this kind of information with him. Growing up was so-o-o-o cool!

The older boys thought briefly about the other implications of their mother's being pregnant after their dad's minor surgery, but couldn't imagine that their mother would be unfaithful

As if she'd read their thoughts, Teri broached the subject.

"There are several documented cases on the web if you want to check them out. I want you to know that it has to be your father's child. I've asked him to have a sperm count test as soon as he can schedule it, just to prove I'm being truthful."

"I'm sure Dad knows it's not necessary," Tim spoke up.

"Yes, he told me that, but I'm insisting anyway. I don't want a cloud of suspicion to hover over this special event!"

"So, what do we need to do?" Tommy asked. "Shouldn't you be sitting down? Do you need a glass of water or anything?"

"It's sweet of you to ask, but I'm fine." Teri insisted, trying not to smile. "I managed to teach right up to the day you were born and with Tuck too, so I shouldn't need any special treatment this time either."

"But we can help around the house more and stuff," Tanner offered. "You should get some pampering!"

"Speaking of which," Teri grinned. "This will be a good opportunity for you boys to learn how to change diapers. You can `Pamper' your new little brother or sister when he or she drops a big load."

The boys all made faces and laughed.

Later in the afternoon, the boys assembled in Tim's room to discuss what their role should be for the next eight and a half months. They made up a chart with a rotating schedule for doing laundry, house cleaning, and helping with meal preparation. Since they already did some of the household chores, it wouldn't be an entirely new experience. However, it would give them a kind of commitment that was frequently lacking at the moment.

"I wonder what they'll name our little sister," Tuck mused. "I looked on the web after they told us and I see that Isabella, Emma, Olivia, Sophia, Ava, Emily, and Madison are near the top."

"What makes you think it will be a girl, with Dad's record for making boys?" Tim asked.

"Well, statistically speaking, we're overdue for a girl," Tucker grinned.

"Were there any starting with the letter `T' in order to keep family tradition going?" Tommy asked. "You know Mom!"

"There aren't any listed in the top 100, so I went to a site that gave names alphabetically. It looks like Tanya, Tina, Theresa, Tori, and Trisha are among the better ones. She might go for Theresa because the nickname is often `Teri' like hers."

"We better talk those up some so she doesn't go for something weird like ours," Tommy suggested. "I think I'll have mine legally changed to Thomas when I turn 18. Everyone calls me `Tommy' anyway."

"I've gotten used to mine," Tuck grinned. "I wouldn't mind the idea of being called `Tucker-fucker' now. Then the guys wouldn't think I'm a virgin."

"You've turned into a dirty-minded little bugger since our camping trip. It must be from getting mature enough to squirt the real stuff."

Tim chuckled.

"Are you shooting jizz?" Tommy asked.

"Yup!" Tuck smiled. "I started last week."

"Congratulations!" Tommy high-fived Tucker.

"Way to go, little bro!" Tanner added his praise.

In that moment, Tucker felt closer to his siblings than he had since he could remember. Tommy and Tanner had accepted him as a peer!

Monday morning found everyone back to their old routines. Tommy called Andy to see which lawns needed mowing, and Tanner and he proceeded to take care of them. Tim headed for his shift at the city pool and Tucker went off to Bobby's house to regale him with tales of his sexual exploits.

Tark called for an appointment with the urologist and then went to school to check on when he needed to supervise football practice.

Teri prepared to tutor one of the students she was working with over the summer.

Everything looked like it was back to normal.

Around dinner time, the phone rang and Teri hesitated to take the call until she saw it was Pastor Anna's number. They chatted for a few minutes before Anna asked to speak with Tim.

Tim was on the phone for several minutes asking questions about the specific duties and when he needed to let her know. He shared the gist of their conversation when they sat down to eat.

"Pastor Anna wants me to finish out Jared Swanson's term as youth deacon. He's moving to Cincinnati as you know. A new class of deacons will come on in January, so I wouldn't have to serve beyond then unless I choose to. I don't see that happening because I'd be in college before my three-year term would expire. Anyway, I'm tempted to do it because Ms. Cranston would be my `shut-in' to make home visits with. She was so generous in selling us her car so cheap that I feel like I should help her out when I can. I could take her to the grocery store and stuff."

"I think that's a fine idea, Son," Tark smiled. "However, I've rarely heard the term `tempted' in the same sentence with doing something honorable!"

"Well, it is kind of a temptation because I know I'll have to work it into my schedule and I will have to be careful not to neglect my studies and activities my senior year. The football and wrestling teams both need my talent to succeed!" he chuckled.

"I hope the Good Lord helps you with your humility! Perhaps HHHHe'll overlook your ego if you do enough good deeds," Teri laughed.

"Seriously, I think this is something I'd like to do. I don't know a lot about her, but she seems to have a heart of gold. Maybe I can be the grandson she's never had."

On Tuesday, Tommy and Tanner went to meet Andy and Mason at the swimming pool to do a few laps and to settle up with them for the mowing they'd done. When Tommy and Tanner got to the changing room, they found Mason standing stark naked as he talked to Andy. Mason's suit was lying on the bench, but he seemed in no hurry to put it on. Andy, who was seated on the bench, was doing his best not to stare at the piece of semi-erect boyhood that was practically in his face. He turned a deeper shade of red when his two friends arrived.

"You'd better put on your Speedo before you poke Andy's eye out with that thing." Tanner said nonchalantly. "That's gonna be a lot of drag in the water."

Mason sulked about being told to dress, but didn't answer back as he put his suit on. In an odd way, he was kind of happy that Tanner had noticed he was hung.

Tommy and Tanner made quick work of changing so that there was not a lot of time for anyone to see their junk, which was beginning to swell because of the sexual tension that filled the room.

Two of the lanes were open for lap swimming and the four boys took them over since no one else was using them. Mason immediately challenged Tanner to race him the length of the pool and back. No one could figure out why, since he wasn't on the swim team nor was he a particularly strong swimmer. Whatever his motive, he was beaten by at least 15 yards.

Next, he raced against Andy and lost by a large margin again. After that, he sat on the sidelines pouting.

Tommy and Tanner raced each other with closer results. They were within a split second of one another as they touched the end of the pool. Both simultaneously declared the other to be the champion.

"You guys are fast!" Andy enthused. "I'll bet you take some records this year."

"We're not up to our peak yet," Tommy said. "And as far as records go, it all depends on who will be competing. I hear that there are a couple of new guys who've joined our main competitor this summer who are pretty good."

"I'm tired of this," Mason announced. "Do you want to go to my house and play video games, Andy, while these two show-off's practice?"

"Nah, I want to swim a little more. Maybe they'll help me improve my strokes."

"Yeah, well be careful of what they might ask you to stroke," Mason said.

"Wait, Mason, let me go to my locker and get you your share of the money you guys earned," Tanner suggested.

"We can settle up later. I don't need the money. Besides, you'll be envious of what I have if I strip in front of you."

With that, Mason walked off toward the locker room.

"I wonder what put him in such a pissy mood," Tanner mused.

"Maybe you did," Andy snickered. "He was trying to impress me with his weenie and you called attention to what he was doing. Then you beat him royally when he challenged you at swimming."

"I wasn't even giving it my best shot," Tanner said. "I wasn't trying to embarrass him, but I guess I should have slowed down more. I get competitive when I'm in the water."

"That's how it's supposed to be!" Tommy reminded him. "I can't figure out why he wanted to race you. I mean, he had to know it was a lost cause."

"He was kinda weird all last week," Andy mentioned. "I was really thankful you said something about getting his dick out of my face. He's been hitting on me, sometimes subtly and sometimes overtly. Today was about the worst. I was half tempted to let him give me a blow job last week, but I didn't. Part of it was because I didn't want to feel like I was using him and part was that I was afraid he'd want me to do him in return. I'm not a homophobe, but I don't think I'd like his cock in my mouth! I figured he had something else in mind today other than video games; otherwise he might have invited you guys to come along. It was kinda rude to ask me and not ask you when we were all together."

"You're probably smart not to get involved," Tanner agreed. "I've heard that once he's sucked your dick, he expects to keep on doing it. I think he's serviced about half the guys on the basketball team."

All the time Tanner was talking, he was careful not to look toward Tommy because he knew that his boyfriend had experienced it firsthand and didn't want to relive it.

The three boys swam a few more laps and then headed for the locker room to shower off the chlorine and get dressed. When they got there, they heard muffled noise from one of the toilet stalls.

"Keep quiet and suck my cock," someone said in a harsh whisper.

"No, I'm not gonna to suck on it," came the weeping reply. "I'm gonna tell on you!"

"If you tell, I'll tie a wire around your little balls till they fall off."

The three boys looked at each other in alarm and headed for the stalls. Andy went into the open one next to where the sounds were coming from and stood on the toilet stool, looking over the partition. What he saw upset him greatly.

"Mason, what the hell are you doing to this boy?!"

Mason burst out of the door, heading for the exit. He didn't get far because Tommy and Tanner had him on the floor in seconds.

Andy took charge as if he'd been trained to do so. First, he knelt down and embraced the weeping boy who was seated on the stool with his shorts around his ankles.

"It's okay. You're safe now. We're going to take care of this. Let's pull up your shorts and find the manager."

"I don't want to get in trouble," the boy sobbed.

"You won't. You're not the one who did anything wrong. You will have to tell the manager exactly what happened and then you'll have to tell the police. They will be nice to you because they want to help."

"He said they'd put me in jail!" the boy continued to cry.

"If anyone goes to jail, he'll be the one, not you. I promise! My dad's a policeman and I know."

"Okay."

"My name is Andy. What's yours?"

"Brendon Baker."

"Come on, Brendon. Let's go find Ms. Jackson."

"You better keep quiet about this or I'll out all of you!" Mason yelled, finding his courage again.

"Go for it!" Tanner snarled. "If you think we're going to look the other way after you've molested a child, you have another think coming!"

On the way to the management office, a lady called out.

"Brendon, come on. We have to get home. What took you so long in there?"

"Mommy!" Brendon cried as he grabbed her around the waist and began to sob all over again.

"Mrs. Baker?"

"Yes," she frowned. "How do you know my name and where were you taking Brendon?"

"Ma'am, he needs to talk to the manager before you go." Andy explained. "This is extremely important. She will need to hear what he has to say without him being influenced by you. Please. My dad's a cop and I know these things."

Jennifer Baker stiffened and her eyes widened, but she didn't prevent Andy from taking her son to the office. She stayed a few steps behind, fearing what might have happened, but hoping she was wrong.

All of the boys went into the office together and shut the door. After a couple of minutes, Tommy emerged.

"Mrs. Baker, I'm Tommy Torrance. I think you might have heard of my dad because he teaches at the high school and helps coach. I think I might have seen you at First Pres as well."

"Oh, yes. I do know who your family is."

"Uh, this is going to be hard for me to say and harder for you to hear. Should we sit down over here on the bench?"

"Okay. Is it bad?"

"We caught Mason trying to force your son to perform oral sex on him. I'm telling you straight up; your son resisted and we intervened. I'm no expert, but I think you should get Brendon counseling as soon as possible and be sure to let him know it wasn't his fault. He's a very scared little boy because Mason had convinced him that if he told the police they'd send HIM to jail, not Mason.

Andy's dad is on the police force, and Andy knows Brendon needs to be interviewed by the police before the rest of us say anything to taint his testimony. That's why we thought you should wait outside. Andy is in a different, inner office, with Brendon so he can't overhear what is being said between Mrs. Jackson, Mason, and Tanner. Maybe we've watched too much TV and are overdoing it, but we don't want Mason to get off with only a slap on the wrist. This is serious!"

"Thank you for leveling with me. It's not easy to hear, but it's better that you didn't sugar-coat it. I appreciate that. I'm a military wife and I've had to be strong. We'll get through this." Jennifer Baker said, holding back her tears. "This will be especially hard on Todd since he's in Afghanistan, but I need to tell him right away. Would it be possible to have your email address so he can contact you? He's going to want to know details that I may not be able to give him. He'll also want to thank you guys for intervening. He already feels bad about not being home to protect his family. Of course, he couldn't have been with us today at the pool because he'd be working at the store, but he's not going to stop and think about that."

"Here's Tanner's and my addresses. I'll put Dad's on there too in case your husband wants to contact our parents. Dad's a good listener."

Inside the office, Mason changed his tune once Ms. Jackson picked up the phone to call the police.

"Please don't do it! I promise I'll never touch another kid again. I didn't hurt him! I only made him feel good. I didn't make him do anything to me."

"So you didn't intend to intimidate him when you threatened to neuter him like they do calves?" Tanner said.

"I was only trying to keep him from telling. I'd never hurt him."

"Telling him you're gonna tie a wire around his balls isn't the way to make him feel good!" Tanner exclaimed.

"It sounds like you've caused this boy a great deal of emotional trauma. I'll let the authorities sort it out," Ms. Jackson said as she punched in the number for the station.

When the police came, they brought a children's counselor along to interview Brendon so that he would feel more at ease and hopefully open up. They asked his mother to remain outside for a few minutes because they thought Brendon might not tell everything in front of her.

It didn't take long before mother and son were reunited.

"Hey Buddy, do you want to stop for a Dairy Queen on the way home?" Jennifer Baker asked in a bright tone of voice.

"Cool, Mom! But isn't it too close to dinner?"

"Well, maybe, but we could get some to take home for dessert and maybe some cones to put it in. How would that be?"

"Yeah, we could do that."

Unobserved by young Brendon, the children's counselor gave his mother the thumbs-up sign. She had a feeling that this child would recover well.
