Tony arrived at his home with Alec. Tony called out to his wife Liz and asked where she was.
"I’m in the study, dear. I kinda got myself in a spot—I’m just too tired and had to rest," Liz answered.
Tony led Alec by the hand into the study. Alec was shocked as he saw the poor frail lady sitting in a chair with wheels on it. Tony walked over and kissed his wife on the lips. "My dear, I brought us a special guest home tonight. He’s going to be living with us. His name is Alec."
Liz looked at Alec and was surprised—cute blonde hair, blue eyes, fair skinned, short but very portly. Then she saw his stomach move. The young man wasn’t fat; he was pregnant. She had a young Genman in her home—that was something Tony had never done before. He brought home his work.
Tony saw the look on his wife’s face questioning his guest. "We made a big raid today and this young man needs a place to stay because he’s special. I thought maybe you and him could bond. He needs a figure in his life that will help him understand what his body is going through. He has a long story—he still hasn’t transitioned and this is his third pregnancy."
"His third? He’s just barely a teenager. How can he have already had two kids? Aren’t they supposed to grow and mature before they can do that?" Liz gasped.
"Yes, darlin’, but it seems our corporate farms are at it again and have gone underground. They found a way to go around the transition and have them start having babies at 16 years equivalent."
Liz was blown away. She motioned for Alec to come over to her and she hugged him. "Young man, as long as I’m here and Tony is alive, you will not ever need for anything. When I’m gone, you will take care of my Tony and he shall take care of you."
Liz knew that Tony was bisexual but he had never stepped out on her. He loved his work with the GBI and he loved his Genmen. Alec laid his head on Liz’s shoulder and started to sob. "Thank you very much, ma’am. I will do my best to help you because you have given me a chance at life."
"Tony will show you where you can sleep. You keep him company tonight and he will protect you and that baby that you’re carrying. You don’t have to worry about anything—he’s protected me, now he’ll protect you and that baby."
Alec couldn’t figure out Liz and Tony. They were both humans, they both obviously loved one another, but where were her kids? Why were there not children running around?
Liz looked at the young man and could see his thoughts. "After we got married, I became sick. I lost our child, Tony Jr. They had to take my insides out because of cancer. Now the same cancer that robbed me from becoming a mother will now rob Tony of me."
"I’m ready for bed if you can help me, please. You two can stay up and talk, then you two can share your night," Liz looked at Tony and spoke shakily.
Tony placed Liz in bed. She was now maybe 80 pounds—she never was a big woman, maybe 115 to 118, but the cancer had robbed her and it was just a matter of time. Maybe not weeks or months, but possibly days. Tony felt for his wife as he went to tuck her into bed. She touched his face. "Alec will be great for you, and you will be great for the baby. Go make them yours, my husband." Then she drifted off to sleep.
Tony came back down to the main floor. Alec was looking at the books, looking at the art and admiring the nice things that were in Tony and Liz’s home. Tony walked up and placed his arm around Alec. "This is your home now. These are your items to feel free to touch and to read anything you want. If you cannot figure out a word, ask me or Liz and we’ll help you. But it’s been a long day and we need to get to bed and rest."
Alec walked into the bedroom. There was a big huge bed. He looked at Tony. "I don’t have night clothes."
Tony started unbuttoning his shirt, exposing his chest which was covered with dark wavy hair. "Neither do I—I don’t use them."
Alec’s eyes got big. "You mean you sleep like Genmen, with nothing on?"
"That’s right, nothing but me." Tony had no qualms about stripping off butt naked.
Alec was a little surprised at what the human had—he couldn’t imagine how anybody could handle that. Alec’s reaction didn’t go unnoticed by Tony. "It’ll be okay. I will not try anything, but I do want to snuggle. I need to feel someone’s warm body next to mine—it’s been a long time."
"You can do nothing to me that hasn’t already been done. Look at my belly, and there’s no one to be the father to this child," Alec smiled.
Tony snuggled up behind Alec and wrapped his arm around him and placed his hand upon Alec’s stomach. The baby kicked several times. Alec was surprised at how active the baby was being—he had never done this before and he was shocked. Tony snuggled up next to his neck and whispered, "You never have to sleep alone again. I’ll hold you and this baby as long as you want."
"And as far as this baby not having a father, I’ll take the job. He will have my last name, as will you."
Alec turned his head and kissed Tony on his lips and thanked him. Tony smiled and pulled Alec even closer and drifted off to sleep.
Angela walked into the boys’ bedroom the next morning and was she in for a surprise. There they were—Frankie and Roger. Frankie was all over Roger, and from the position they were in, there was no doubt that Frankie’s anatomy was placed into Roger’s body. "Damn, they could have at least covered up. That hurts me looking at it—he is hung like a bull moose," Angela said to herself.
