I wanted to leave it for this. I welcome you back to the world of XOLT. Thanks for reading! Please don't forget to comment and vote! I like knowing what readers think :D * Tae~ PALLATON ~Brandon~ It was that night we all decided to hang out at my place. We rented a bunch of movies and thought we'd have ourselves a cheesy movie night. It was fun until one of the guys asked if we could torment my brother. Well, I wasn't about to say no. They all seemed to like it when his face turned that ghastly pale green, to me it seemed crude. They all started to make gay jokes, so I had to join in...That just seemed to piss him off more, naturally, and my brother ran upstairs to his room. That was when Ryan chased him up the stairs. When Ryan came back down he asked to go home. We all thought it was odd, but he could've gotten a text from his mother or the bullying of my brother could have bothered him, so we didn't question him. Why hadn't I noticed? It was obvious that my brother liked Ryan; sure it was odd that Steven was six years older than us, but he wasn't hurting anyone by crushing on Ryan. And if I was completely honest I would say that I notice that Ryan liked him back, it was only a matter of time before something happened between them. That was why when I walked in from dropping the rest of my friends home I wasn't shocked at seeing my brothers room a mess. My father had trashed it; my mother was on the floor crying that god let her baby stray away. I had asked what happened. My father showed me the letter. Basically it said that he was running off with his lover. It wasn't a secret that my brother was gay, the whole block knew. But what they didn't know was that my mother and father hated gay people, which included my brother. To the eyes of everyone else they were the perfect parents who loved their gay and Goth sons. The reality was quite different though, my mother wanted to cut all my black hair off so it would be blond again; my father wanted me to remove all my piercings and they both wanted the eye liner to go away. The same was for my brother. They wanted the gay to go, and the perfect son to stay, because he was the perfect son with an imperfection. Imperfection was not okay. But they pretended because the image was good for them. My father told me that if I ever decided to become a 'fag' that I should either run very far away, or kill myself. The kind words of a father... We had gotten into another argument about my lifestyle. They said that the eyeliner was too gay and that I must stop wearing it. I told them that it was my fucking body and that I could do whatever I freaking wanted to do with it. They sent me to my room without dinner. I don't know what compelled me to walk into his room. Maybe it was just the sense that he got to do something for himself. He got to break away before he knew what was happening, he was lucky. I sat on the ripped and useless bed, looking around the war zone that was my brothers' room and started to weep. It wasn't crying, I didn't shed tears, but I made the motions, the sounds of crying. I found myself curled up on my side facing the door. My brother had his desk right beside the door and next to the window. I was cold because it was the middle of January and the window was open, but it was stuffy in the room and it needed to be aired out. No one had walked in it since he left three months ago. I decided to look at his desk, maybe I'd find a clue as to where he was. On the floor under his craptastic IKEA desk was his laptop. Luckily it wasn't damaged by my father's wrath. I could find out the last pages he ever looked at... It wasn't hard to crack is password, it was Ryan's name. My brother had saved three tabs in his last session; a porn site, a sex toy shop, and a dating site. My brother had interesting taste, or technically he had reasonably normal taste. Other than the fact that he ran away with my best Goth friend I'd say he was vanilla. I on the other hand appeared to like the darker side of gay lust. It was something I never considered for myself. I spent weeks on the dating site, exploring a side of me I didn't know I had. Before I found the laptop I wasn't interested in sex and I hadn't had a girlfriend, but I also hadn't found men interesting. In my mind I wasn't a sexual person, but after seeing a twink being tied up and spanked, I found I had an erection. After I masturbated I found that most of the sadness and stress went away, and after that when I got into a fight with my family that was what I'd do. But after a month that soon lost its luster. It was no longer doing its job and I was getting angrier every time it didn't work. So, I bought a purple dildo. I would combine my toy and porn to get the ultimate release. Each time I did it I felt strong, like I was finally doing something that I liked. It worked for a while, about a month. But then something changed. Someone had asked me about my brother's whereabouts, like I would know. 'You were close to your brother' they would all say. That was all BS. I knew nothing about my brother, and he knew nothing of me. He didn't know that my life's goal was to become an artist. One of the reasons why I loved horror was because I loved to draw monsters, especially aliens. They were cool, mysterious and literally out of this world. For some reason that day I was already pissed off and when they asked me I blew up. I locked myself in my brother's room and logged onto his computer. Masturbation was doing nothing, I couldn't get any release. So, I went on the dating site. I made an account and created my profile, stating that I was a lover of sci-fi and was into bondage. Later that night I got a message from a man who went by the name of Leo. ~Xe'Zhi~ My brother, Xe'Hul, and his mate Jing finally had their children; two young with bright eyes and bright futures, though, quite mutant in their appearance. They had Hul's eyes, the slits of a snake, and his teeth and tail, but they had Jing's white puffy hair and tan complexion. I was interested mainly because it isn't common to see a Chanture with a Xolt. I was very happy that the birthing went well, Jing had recovered and the young were healthy. A few weeks later Xe'Trygg and his mate Steven successfully got pregnant, though I worry more for the human. It took him about three months to achieve getting pregnant; I worry about how the birthing will be for him, or how long it will take for the fetus to mature considering his human features. I plan on keeping an extra eye on him. Thankfully, though, he has a job. He is a teacher for the young on the ship, teaching them about Earth and other planets, as well as the art of speaking other languages. This took him about two months to get the certification, but I have a feeling he and Jing studied often. And sadly it is a continuing learning experience for him for we still have yet to travel to all planets. One night I was bored and I was searching the human internet. I had to get Steven to explain what it was and I found the notion of a place where all common knowledge was store interesting. As I looked I somehow managed to find myself on what was called a dating site. It was for males and I searched through it, trying to understand the concept of online dating and why humans did it. As a Xolt, dating was un-necessary, you mate with whom you find attractive and strong. It was an animalistic instinct that helped ensure the reproduction of our kind. But as shown with my brothers it is now common to 'fall in love' with your mate. When I showed Steven the site he encouraged me to find someone to talk to. He said to find someone who not only aroused me but also shared similar interests with me. So I sat in my office, plain white with black leather chair and dark wood desk, looking for a possible mate. There was no such luck until I found this boy. His photo showed him with a fair complexion, long black hair and piercings on his face, nose, eyebrow, lip and tongue. It made me wonder if the boy had more of those elsewhere on his body. I also found this notion very attractive. The name on his account was Brandon. It said that he liked sci-fi, which I had gathered was science fiction, and bondage. When I looked it up on the internet, I was surprised at how it aroused me. When I looked at the boy's picture all I wanted to do was to tie him up and mate him senseless. So I contacted him. *Hello*, I said. *Hi, how are you?* *I am fine, yourself?* *Horny.* I looked at the word with confusion. What was that supposed to mean? *Pardon?* I asked, perhaps asking him would clear things up. *Never mind...I'm sorry, this is my first time at this kind of thing.* I smiled; he was so very cute, even with just text. *As it is mine. Tell me, what do you like?* I smiled at my words, they felt strong and right. I imagined what the boy looked like on the other side of the conversation; pink lips wet and pouty with arousal, his eyes wide and needy as he squirmed in his seat. *...Sexually or hobby wise?* *Both. Tell me, what is it you enjoy?* There was silence for a few moments. I was getting slightly anxious, had I done something wrong? *Sorry, the laptop needed to be plugged in, the battery was dying. I like to draw, mainly monsters and aliens, and I love anything Science Fiction. I enjoy reading and music as well. Sexually, I like anything dark and sexy. Bondage mainly though, I'm not a huge fan of pain. What do you do for a living Leo?* I shivered; this boy was perfect for me. I wanted him in my bed withering for my cock. *I am a doctor.* *Oh, really? That's pretty cool. What do you like, Dr. Leo? Sexually and hobby wise.* *Well*, I started, *normally I just read or work. Or I visit with my brothers and my nephews. I must warn you, Brandon, I am a boring person. But sexually I'd like to tie you up to my bed and touch you lightly till you beg to cum. Then I want to grasp your cock and milk you until every drop is out. I want to watch as you wither underneath me*. It was quiet for a few moments, before I got my response. I was about to log out in defeat when I got the reply. *I'm sorry. * *Why are you sorry, boy?* *I just came.* *Just from my words?* *Yes sir. * My tongue snaked out and traced my bottom lip. I imagined what the boy looked like as he grasped his cock and jerked himself off. His black hair falling over his face, his blue eyes dark and hazy half closed as he bit his bottom lip, making it red and plump. As he comes all over his hand while he imagines me fucking him senseless while tied to my bed, mumbling my name softly. I gently brushed the palm of my hand over my erect penis and came in my pants. I let out a muffled cry into my shoulder. I quickly started to type into the computer. *Very good, boy. I have to go now, but I would like to talk to you again. When can I do this?* I asked as I looked at my crotch in wonder. As a doctor I have no time to think about being in an intimate relationship—not that I didn't have Xolts who wanted to—I was just not interested, and yet I had cum in my pants without direct contact. What was the boy to me? We had only just met, and even then not in person. *Tomorrow, same time?* *I will talk to you then. Good night, Brandon.* *Good night sir.* I was determined to follow through with Brandon. I wanted him. ~Brandon~ My room was covered wall to wall in posters and drawings. It was dark, the light of the moon falling between my dark curtains creating enough light for me to see. My desk was messy, covered in the last of my school work; I was graduating in less than a month. I had a few sketch books laying on the chair and floor. I had clothes on the floor as well, they were all dirty but I still wore them anyways. I told my parents that I was going to collage for an art degree. My parents were shocked; they thought that perhaps I'd go into acting or something more...active. Neither of them knew that I like to draw, nor did they care as long as I didn't make a fool of myself. For some reason it pissed me off that they didn't care. But they hadn't in so long. They didn't care that my brother was no longer around, well, they did at first. Thinking that it was a disgrace to them, but after a month or so they stopped caring. But when Steven said that he was going to be a teacher, they were happy. When I said I was going to be an artist all they said was, "that's nice dear." So I logged on. I went to Leo's profile to see if he was on. He actually was on, which surprised me. It was not our date time. We had been talking for about four months, he only showed up when it was our nightly talk. Those talks were my haven. We talked about our lives, what we liked and what we didn't like. What our goals were and how we could achieve them. It was Leo's idea that I take up drawing for a living. I showed him a few of my sketches that I had posted online. He said that they were creative and realistic; said he really enjoyed my alien ones. I found out that he lives far away, on the other side of the planet and has two brothers. He said that being the middle child was hard but he was happy with his success in his field. He also told me about how his brothers and how they both had life partners. It made me happy that he had an open family. When I saw that he was online, I smiled. Maybe he wanted to talk to me as much as I wanted to talk to him. *Hey*. I typed fast on the keyboard. I didn't want to miss this chance. *Brandon, you're on. I'm happy to see that, how are you?* *I'm fine, thank you sir. How are you?* After talking with Leo this way it's more certain to what I like and what I want. I want Leo to be my Sir and I want to be his boy. Now if only we could meet. *I am happier now that we can talk. How was your conversation with your parents?* *Of course they didn't seem to give two shits. More concerned with themselves then me. Doesn't matter anyway, I'll just do it. I want to be an artist.* *I'm proud of you, Brandon. You do what you feel is right, I will stand by you*. I blushed; lately he's become more boyfriend-like then ever. The more he praises me the more I want to make him happy. I just really want to meet him, I want to actually touch his lips with my own and tell him how much I like him. *Thank you, sir. That makes me happy.* *Very good. * I wanted him to know how much I cared for him each day we spoke. I wanted to tell him that every time he praises me, tells me what a good boy I am, tells me how beautiful I am, I get hard. So hard that just wearing my cotton underwear is constricting. I timidly wrote *I want to meet you* but didn't send it. It was a big step. If we met it would turn our casual online relationship and turn it into a serious one and I felt like there was still quite a bit missing in our conversations. We still didn't know our last names, how old we were and where we lived. But the thought of actually kissing him, touching his body, having him hold me in his arm...They were too tempting. So I hit send. There was no reply. Not for at least five minutes, and it felt like hours to me. I was sweating, I got out of my bed and started to pace around the room. I looked out the window and stared at the stars, looked at the moon and wondered if this was also what Leo saw, if he was looking out his window as well... The laptop alerted me that I had a new message. I rushed over and fell to the floor; I didn't even bother to sit on my bed. I stared at the screen for a few moments and then realized that I forgot to breath and took a big gulp of air. *When and where? * That night I cried happy tears. I told him that I wanted to meet him after I graduated high school. He said that he would meet me the night after my graduation. I was happy, so happy that I fell asleep dreaming what it would be like to actually have him in my arms. The weeks could not go any slower. ~Xe'Zhi~ "You said what?" "I promised him that I would meet him the night after his graduation." I had called Xe'Trygg to my office as soon as I sent Brandon my last reply. Apparently what I did was a huge mistake in the eyes of my younger brother. I, for one, thought he would be happy for me. I had finally found someone that I cared for. Instead he was pacing in my room with his green hair trialing behind him. He stopped and placed his hand on my desk and leaned down to me, his blue eyes staring at me with concern through strands of his coarse green hair. "Are you sure you want to do this? Zhi, bringing a human here is hard. You of all people should know, it took us weeks to get Steven comfortable near us and months to get him socializing, and he knew me. It's going to take time and effort, can you handle that?" I looked at my brother and chuckled. I'm the youngest Xoltarin doctor our kind knows of, and yet I am still the best. If I wanted something enough I would get it by all means. And I wanted Brandon. Besides, he didn't know Brandon like I did. "Yes, little brother, I can handle him." It also helped that Brandon was submissive to me, and he hadn't even heard my voice yet. For a Xolt my voice was fairly low and gravelly. "I will go see him, I will show him what I am, and I will ask if he wants to come with me. If he does, I'll give him the language chip and bring him home and take care of him. If not, I will erase his memory of me and send him on his way." "Won't you be sad that he'd forget you?" "Not at all." //Because he won't choose that path.// But my brother didn't need to know what kind of relationship we had. That was private and I wanted to keep it that way. Xe'Trygg stood up straight and walked to the door and sighed. "Before you do anything, talk to Steven. I don't think he realizes you are dating his little brother virtually." "I'll talk to him in the morning. You two go get some sleep, I'm sure he needs it." I looked at my younger brother and smiled. "How is he?" "Be barely has a bump. He's happy though, taking good care of his body. He occasionally rubs his belly. I think you're right, because he's human the pregnancy is slower." "I'm sure your mate will be fine. Did you get him your...What was it called again? Wedding ring?" I asked. Human customs was something my brother picked up when he went on his study to Earth. He also picked up his odd fashion taste and the flavour of what he called Fish. When he duplicated it with our technology it smelt revolting. Apparently it's a common food on Earth... Xe'Trygg smiled and nodded, "yeah, I showed him the rings earlier. He loved them." It made me happy that both my brothers could find such great Mates. * I pushed the buzzer and waited for a voice. I was outside of my brother's quarters so that I could talk to his mate. Steven was generally an understanding person, but he was fairly emotional and lately it's gotten worse due to his pregnant nature. "Hello?" A young voice inquired. I could imagine Steven's blond locks curling around his face and his blue eyes looking puzzled. "It is I, Xe'Zhi. I am here to request a talk with Steven-ko." I said into the speaker. This was a safety precaution. There are codes for all doors in the ship, only those with the codes can open or close them. "Xe'Zhi, come on in. I opened the door for you." I walked in front of the door and kept walking as the door flew into the celling of the ship and fell behind me. Steven was reading a novel while sitting on the bed and smiled when I found my way in. He waved and patted the space next to him. The changes to Steven's appearance were very minor, his eyes took on the same pupil-less look as his mate and throughout his blond hair were small strands of green—though somehow the human managed to still look angelic with the green tarnishing his sun kissed locks. Xolt 2 Ch. 01 "Thank you, Steven-ko," I said as I sat down. "I don't understand why you insist on using the Xoltarin honorifics on me. Besides you don't call my mate 'Xe'Trygg-xin'. Please, just call me Steven." The honorific Ko was for the passive mate and Xin was for the dominate mate. "Forgive me Steven, I was just fallowing tradition." I smiled as I gave the young mate a small bow of apology. "That's fine. What brings you here? Xe'Trygg is out working if you need him." Then put his book down and smiled at me. He was so innocent, so sweet and kind. It made me nervous. What if this little angel got mad at me for 'dating' his brother? The brother who in a sense tormented him for most of his adult human life...Surely he would hate me. "Do you remember that dating site that you told me to explore?" I asked it was probably best if I took this step by step, for whom I'm not sure. But it was best... "Yes, did you find anyone you liked?" He smiled, his innocence was outstanding. I looked around the crème room, observed the dark wood bed frame and desk. I looked at myself in the mirror and frowned. I looked like a mess. My shoulder length green hair was falling out of the clasps and my silver scales looked dingy. I was more nervous than I thought I was. "What if, hypothetically, I said I found a young Human male?" I asked, looking away from the human half-breed. "I would say that's great...hypothetically of course," Steven giggled, he knew something was amiss. I took a deep breath and looked at the male and slowly let the air out. "What if I said that he was your younger brother?" Steven's eyes widened and he looked at the black sheets. It was silent for moments as he thought of what he wanted to say. "Well...I didn't expect that," He murmured. "I didn't think that my brother was gay..." "He said lots of things changed when you left..." "I see..." I stood up and looked at the boy. "I'm sorry if this disappoints you, Steven. But you and your brother need to talk. He's not what you think he is. And there's no guaranteed that he'll come back to the ship with me." "Do you love him?" Steven looked at me; his smile was gone and was replaced with the serious face of a hurt young man and a caring older brother. He still wanted to protect his family even though he was stepped on and broken because of them. He was what the humans called a saint. "I'd like to believe that what I feel is love." "Then I'll talk to him. Take me with you." Xolt 2 Ch. 02 ~Brandon~ I was waiting in the park a block away from my house. This was where we promised to meet, and I was more than excited, but I was also very nervous. What I was about to do was very dangerous; I was going to meet a man I have never met in person for the first time. Outside, by myself at 9 PM...Not dangerous at all. I wore my nicest clothes, dark tight jeans, my biker boots, my tight black sweater and a leather jacket. Seeing as I arrived on my motorbike, I looked the part of a crazy biker Goth. I was praying to whatever and whoever would listen to my wish that Leo would love me... I was gently leaning on the back of my black Kawasaki Ninja waiting for my dream man to arrive. I listened as a car drove by; when I looked it was just a taxi. I click my tongue. I was just too excited that everything was Leo... But that taxi stopped. Two people left that car. One looked my brother and the other looked a lot like Leo. My heart thumped. What the fuck is going on? My brother's hair had grown a little past his shoulders and his hair looked tarnished. Leo looked dark and sexy just like he did on his profile, and he was wearing a suit. "Brandon," Steven stated. He looked neither happy nor sad to see me. It was cold. I was also confused because my brother seemed to be packing some weight, and he was never one to let his body go. "Steven, how have you been?" "I've been better." Awkward silence. "So you must be Leo," I smiled giving him my hand. "I'm very pleased to meet you sir." I gave him a small bow. I was blushing really hard but I couldn't help it because that was the hand that I jerked off to earlier that day. "Brandon," he smiled. His voice was so low and sexy I felt a shiver run up my spine. Suddenly my jeans were too tight. "So can someone explain to me why my brother and my online—" "Boyfriend," Leo supplied. "—Boyfriend are both here to see me. Especially when one of the two left the house and left me to the worst parents a kid could have?" "Excuse me?" Steven said, taking a step closer to me. "I did not leave you to the worst parents! They are fucking wonderful people! You are just a delinquent! Do you even remember the last thing you said to me, brat? Do you?" "No, I'm sorry I don't fucking remember!" "You ordered me to get you a fucking beer! Then you and your fucking homophobic asshat friends made fun of my sexuality. Now you're expecting me to believe that you're gay and dating my husband's brother? I don't fucking think so!" I looked at Leo; I studied his face, his body and his eyes. They were green but they looked similar to... "You got married to Ryan?" I looked at my brother, my eyes glassy. I was happy for him; he found the happiness that he deserved. Steven lifted his left hand and showed me the sliver band on his ring finger and he nodded. "And you're Ryan's older brother?" I asked Leo. "I hadn't known about this until your brother mentioned something. I'm sorry I brought him here but he insisted he see you." Leo took a step towards me, "I'm so happy to finally meet you, Brandon." He whispered into my ear. I grasped Leo's broad shoulders and sagged, my legs giving out from underneath me. I was thankful for more than one thing. One, Leo wasn't about to kill or rape me like the back of my mind was foretelling. Two, my brother was happy with Ryan. And three, I could finally get away from my family...Hopefully. "I'm sorry, Steven. I'm sorry for everything. I never truly agreed with those guys, and I can tell you that after you left I haven't really seen them. I've been alone for so long that talking to Leo has been my only piece of salvation. You don't have to forgive me but don't be mad at Leo as well..." I cried. I tried to keep the tears back as much as I could but it wasn't working. My tears were seeping into Leo's suit jacket and onto my leather jacket. "I'm not mad at him. I'm mad at you, for doing those things to me. I can't say that I'll forgive you, but I'll support Leo in this relationship and if that means I support you too, then oh well." Steven looked at Leo and nodded, "You either tell him now so he can get home and pack or I'm leaving now. I have no desire to see my house right now. I just want to be with my husband." "Tell me what?" I asked leaning away from Leo and back onto my bike. "Do you recall those drawings you showed me last week?" "The alien ones?" "Indeed. Do you recall what they looked like?" Leo asked moving a tad bit further from me. Steven went to the taxi and the car drove away. We were alone now, just Leo, my brother and I. "Well, yah I drew them. Leo what are you going on about?" Steven walked beside me and smiled, "prepare yourself Bran, because for once I won't be scared." Leo stood up straight and a blue light embraced the man. Before I knew it Leo was no longer there, but in his place was a seven foot alien with sliver scales and tail, shoulder length green hair and pale green eyes. He was hissing something to me but I couldn't understand what he was saying. I couldn't move. I wasn't sure if I was happy or scared. "He just said that his real name is Xe'Zhi. He is a doctor on the ship where I live, and he isn't here to hurt you." Steven said, looking lazily at the alien. Xe'Zhi started to hiss again as he reached his hand out to me. He looked scared, his eyes were pleading for me to take his hand. Or to at least do or say something. I timidly reached my hand out to his and touched his soft warm hands. "What did he say?" I asked looking to my brother. "He said that he has wanted to show you what he looked like ever since you showed him that image. He wants to take you home with him so that he can take care of you like he wants to." Steven translated carefully. He then said something to the being in front of us and laughed after Xe'Zhi replied. "What?" I asked looking between the two. "I asked him if he wanted to make love to you and he replied that if he could do it now he would. Listen, Brandon, the ship where we live is really nice. Xe'Trygg is really nice and so is everyone else. Xe'Zhi promises to take care of you. If you come back with us he will give you the language chip—which is how I can converse with them—and he will take care of you for the rest of his life. Believe me, starting a family with them is a scary but wonderful experience and I'm so happy I was taken. But you get the choice; if you don't want to come then he will erase your memory and send you on your way. This night will be nothing more than you seeing your brother for the first time in months." Steven paused, "It's all up to you now." This was my biggest dream come true. I got to meet an alien and I got to fall in love. But was it what I really wanted? Did I really want to leave everything behind? Say goodbye to my family? My position at the art school? Did I want to lose it all? Well if I was going to be honest with myself, dating 'Leo' (who was already technically an alien in the sense he came from another country) I might as well go full out and date a real alien. "Yes, I'll come with you. Do you mind if I grab a few things from home first?" I smiled. I was scared, but it was a good scared. Kind of... ~Xe'Zhi~ He looked amazing. Good enough to fucking eat in his tight jeans and top. If it weren't for the fact that Steven was there I would have taken him. Once I took the cloaking device off (the same device that allows us to appear human) Brandon looked as if he was either going to run away from me or jump into my arms. He was certainly torn. Once he agreed to come home with me I wanted to kiss him, but he was still too nervous. I had to remind myself baby steps. Steven and Brandon hopped onto the bike and they sped off with me running after them in the shadows. Once they arrived at the house I applied the device again and stepped into the lights again. My only fear was how this family was going to react to me. "Don't worry," Steven smiled, "I think they'll like you." There he was again, acting like a saint. What shocked me most about the brothers meeting was Steven's reaction. I had never heard him curse that much in one conversation ever. "Thank you," I smiled. I gave my hand to Brandon and smiled. "Are you ready?" I asked in his ear. He gave me a small nod and opened the door for me. "Where the hell have you been young man!" An older woman said. Brandon looked back at us nervously and tried to smile. "Mom, I have some people for you to meet. Where's dad?" He asked, his voice shaking in fear. "Right here." The old man said gruffly. "Now get in or leave but don't leave that door open." All three of use piled into the front door way, looking equally nervous. Brandon ran upstairs quickly and came back down with a backpack and two big bags and placed them by the door then looked at his family. His mother and father were staring at me so much they didn't even notice their oldest son standing right beside me. They looked cold. "Mom, dad, this is Leo. He's Steven's friend, right Steve?" Brandon looked around me to his brother for support. "That's right. He's Ryan's older brother, so he's a good man." Steven tried to smile, he walked closer to his mother and father but they back away from him. "Hey, mom, dad. I've missed you guys." Their father looked at Steven with so much disgust I wanted to rip his head off his shoulders. Neither of them said a word to the son they haven't seen in months. "Brandon, what does this man have to do with you?" The woman said, eyeing me. "He's my boyfriend, mom. I wanted to introduce you to him because I love him. Mom, dad, I'm gay. Just like Steven." That was when the old man snapped. If we were quiet enough I'm sure we could hear his sense of sanity snap, but we were too shocked to stay silent since the man jumped for Brandon's neck with his hands. The man pushed his son to the ground and wrapped his meaty hands around the slender neck and started to squeeze. "I thought I fucking told you to *never* show your face around here again if you ever decided to become a fucking *fag*! You boys are a fucking *disgrace* to our family! I'll fucking kill you! He's looks old enough to be my fucking brother! Perverts! Who do you think you are preying on children?" He said to me, at last. I punched the man in the face, knocking him off his son and onto the floor. I pulled Brandon up and into my arms and I growled at the revolting man. He was to never touch my mate again. "Never put your filthy hands on my mate again! I will tear you apart!" I roared. The man pissed his pants and the woman fell to the floor, shaking. I picked my mate up and his two bags and asked Steven to pick the back pack up and we walked out of the house. I called the ship to transport us up and we were no longer on Earth in a matter of a few minutes. "He...Tried to *kill* me...He tried to kill me..." Brandon kept saying to himself. I kissed the top of his head hoping to calm him down. I looked over to Steven who looked just as scarred. "It's okay, Brandon. I'll protect you..." I whispered to my mate. *** Once we were in the transport room of the ship Steven was swept into the arms of his mate. Xe'Trygg looked at me with concern. He wrapped his arms around his loved one and cocooned him close to his body. "Why is he crying?" He whispered to me. The fear and sadness was clear in his eyes. "His father tried to kill Brandon..." I whispered back, but it was no use, both brothers shuddered and gave silent cries. "I'm taking him with me. He'll be in bed for a few days because I'm also going to give him the translator." Trygg nodded and walked away with his mate, whispering words of comfort. I carried my mate down the hall and brought him to my room. Once the door opened I raced him to my bed and gently placed him on the oversized cushion. "I'm going to change back into my original form, Brandon. Please don't worry if you can't understand me. I'm going to sedated you and give you a translator. Your head will be sore for a while and you'll have to stay in bed for a while. But I promise I won't let you get hurt." His hand searched for mine and he squeezed it. "I trust you," he tried to smile. I nodded and walked into the bathroom. I took the clocking device off and raced to my office. My cabinet had medicine that I was going to use for pain control. Xolt's use it as a head ache controller but for Brandon it would be perfect. Then I grabbed the translator. It was the size of my pinkie nail, once I activate it the translator would burry itself into Brandon's head and find the language receptor and translate every language that the Xoltarian race knows. Back into my bedroom Brandon was sitting up looking around. He looked so emotionless... "Your room is very...Classy. Dark woods and stainless steel, I like it." His voice was horse. Just hearing his voice made me want to kill his father, a punch to the face and a warning was not enough. I nodded and gently pushed him back onto the pillows. I handed him the small pill and a glass of water, he smiled and took it. His smile was empty; there was no way that he was feeling actual joy. I held his hand and waited for the pill to take effect. Soon he was fast asleep. I turned his body onto his belly and activated the translator and placed it on the base of his neck. The little thing jumped, suddenly with six little legs and it crawled up his neck. As much as I wanted to look away I couldn't because I had to make sure that the implant went smoothly. It was not common to have accidents during this type of implantation but I was not going to take any chances. Once the electronic found the spot it started to bury itself and I heard muffled moans coming from my mate. Once it was finished I rolled Brandon back onto his back and kissed his cheek. I checked his heart rate, which was slightly accelerated but that was normal for what happened. For the rest of the night I kept a constant eye on him. He wouldn't wake up till the next day and I was paranoid that something was going to happen to him. "You need to wake up soon, Brandon. We have so much to talk about." I held his hand as I fell asleep. Xolt 2 Ch. 03 ~Brandon~ My head was pounding and I felt really sore. I didn't want to open my eyes but I kept hearing a persistent voice that kept urging me to open my eyes. I opened my eyes slightly and closed them again because the light was too strong. "Come on, you can do better than that Brandon. What happened to being a tough guy?" I was pretty sure it was Ryan's voice but I wasn't sure. The voice seemed too low to be his, but then I remember that he was an Alien. And my brother was married to him...Then I remember my father. He tried to kill me. I knew he would try; it was why I grabbed my stuff before I told him, but still. I'm his son! I didn't change anything except for the fact that I was dating a man. But then I remembered the kindness that Leo...Xe'Zhi...Showed me. Even in the lizard form he was kind to me, he treated me better than my own father did. I tried to open my eyes again, and this time succeeding. I was staring at a gray ceiling and a face that oddly looked like Ryan's. The difference was his hair and the fact that he was covered in silver/white scales and had no eyebrows. "R-Ryan? My head hurts..." The alien smiled at me and handed me water. "Xe'Zhi said that you'd say that. But at least you're awake, do you mind just sitting there for a minute. I have to call him now." He took out something out of his pocket; it was about the size of an iPod and tapped a few things. A holographic version of Xe'Zhi popped up, he looked really tired. "He's awake now. What do you want me to do?" Ryan said, smiling away like he normally did back on Earth. "Thank the Gods..." the hologram sighed. "Give him some food and tell him I'll be home soon. Ask him some questions to make sure the translator is working. Thanks brother." "No problem, you helped me with Steven. This is the least I can do." Then the hologram disappeared. I looked at my old best friend and he smiled down at me. "What happened to Steven?" I asked, still lying down. My head was hurting too much to sit up. "He was having nightmares last night about something happening to our young. Zhi came by after we called to give him a sedative to help him sleep." "Young?" Ryan frowned. "You didn't know? Steven is pregnant with our children. I thought he would have told you." "Are you saying that I can get pregnant here?" I asked, not masking the concern in my voice. There was a swooshing sound and Xe'Zhi walked into the room. "Indeed, this is why we need to talk. Thank you for taking care of my mate, Trygg. I will visit you and Steven later to check on the young." Xe'Zhi sounded so professional, his voice was so low, that I almost couldn't help but shiver. His voice was deeper than I thought it would be, and it was very sexy. Ryan sighed, "alright." As he stood up to leave he turned to his brother and asked if he was sure he didn't need my help. Xe'Zhi shook his head and sent his brother off. The room was silent once Ryan left and it almost had an air of concern. Xe'Zhi sat on the bed with me, staring at me probably waiting for some sort of reaction. I wasn't sure what to do so I just gave him a smile. "Brandon, how do you feel?" The big alien finally asked. "My head kind of hurts and I gotta take a piss but other than that I'm fine. You?" I smiled back. I guess he was just trying to see if I was ill or something. "How about emotionally? What you went through last night was..." His questions were sweet. He was concerned because of what had happened between me and my father. Truth was I was livid at the man. If I ever saw him again I would probably try to kill him for what he did to me. But at the same time I expected him to do that because he said he would. "I'm fine. Just pissed. I think he hurt my brother more than he did me. Steven had no idea what their true thoughts were until last night. He must be shocked." I tried to sit up but felt dizzy and fell back to the bed. "Don't worry too much about your brother. He's fine at the moment, you on the other hand are not." He took his own version of the iPod and typed some things up. This gave me a few minutes to look at where I was. I was on a dark bed that was about twice the size of a king size back on Earth. The room itself was fairly dark; the walls were deep brown, the bed sheets were black, the desks and shelves were black wood, curtains were deep brown and he seemed to have steel reinforcements everywhere. The lamps were steel, the doors were steel, and from where I was I could peek into the bathroom and I saw steel everywhere. There were three doors that led elsewhere from the bed room; one to the bath room, one to the living area and a closed door. "Do you get headaches often, Brandon?" I snapped my eyes back on the large lizard who was looking at me with slight concern behind the eyes a professional. His greens eyes were breath taking, there was no pupil and they were almond in shape, but they were larger than normal Human eyes. They were pale almost as if they were washed out, but all the same the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. "Brandon? Are you okay?" "Hmm? Oh, yeah, I'm fine. I do get headaches often enough. Sometimes they get pretty bad too." I laughed to mask my arousal. "What were you thinking about, boy?" Xe'Zhi growled. His eyes narrowed and he had the ghost of a smile on his lips. "How did you...I was thinking about your eyes," I whispered. "Surprisingly you're beautiful. Almost in a predator-waiting-to-eat-me-kind of way, but breath taking all the same..." I smelt a sweet scent fill the air and I smiled at Xe'zhi. His tail was twitching on the bed and he looked hungry. "Thank you, Brandon. The reason why you aren't feeling well is because your brain is sensitive. This is a form of head ach. I can give you some pills to make the pain go away if you'd like?" Xe'Zhi stood up and walked to the door that led to the living area. "Sure, that'd be great. And could I get another glass of water while you're at it?" Xe'Zhi turned his head and looked at me. The muscles where his eyebrows should have been were raised and he folded his arms across his body. "Brandon, use your words. I will not be ordered." His words were dark and yet promising. "May I have a glass of water, please, sir?" I lowered my head but kept my eyes on him. His smile was more like a smirk and he nodded. "Anything you'd like, I can get it for you." And he disappeared into the other room. I shivered and pulled the overs off my legs. I was still wearing my tight leather biker pants and they were so constricting that I needed them off, but I was too dizzy to actually do anything. "Ahem." I looked at the door again to see the alien smiling down at me. His eyes were low lidded and he had a glass of water in his hands. "Your water." I blushed as I took the glass from him. He handed me half of a small blue pill and told me to take it. "If you ever need medicine come to me because dosages for my kind and yours are very different. If I were to give you what I would take for a head ache you would die. This half pill, which is also a very low dosage as a whole, will still make you drowsy. You won't fall asleep but you will feel sleepy." "I see," I said as I took the pill. I quickly drank all the water and waited a few minutes. I felt the effects of the pill almost immediately. My head no longer hurt but it felt dull. "Thank you, Xe'Zhi." The alien took my head in his large hands and looked me in the eye. His eyes almost seemed possessive. "You said my name." "Of course I did. It's your name." I smiled. I wanted him to kiss me. "You do realize that for the longest time you've called me Leo, correct? That I have fantasized about you calling by my name for months? That not even my family calls me by my full name?" He growled, his face getting closer to mine. "I guess I don't," I grinned, "because I'm going to keep using your full name." Xe'Zhi let out a bark of a laugh and moved away from me. He rubbed his face and patted my knee. "You are dangerous to me, Brandon. We need to talk before we do anything like having sex. I want you to have all the information before we do anything. Knowledge is power and you need to be well informed here. Go use the washroom. I'll talk with you once you're done." ** The bathroom was very clean. There was not one item out of place and I couldn't smell anything but sterile air. It was like his whole life revolved around his job. That or he had a major case of OCD. The toilet, bath tub, and sink were made of steel and the floor was heated sandstone. The contrast was ugly as shit but I could see why Xe'Zhi would want it. The warm stone felt great on my feet. After I pissed I walked back to the bed, only a little unsteady. I kept feeling like I was going to fall even though I knew I wouldn't. "Once the head ache leaves that will stop." I looked at the alien and laughed. He was sitting with his legs crossed in a nest of blankets and he looked so cute. Like a messed up dino-man guarding his nest. I sat down next to him and placed my hand on his leg. "So what is it that I need to know that's so important that we can't have sex?" I pouted, of course I was just teasing him but I really wanted to know. "Because I am a member of the Xolt race my DNA and your DNA are different. Mine is more aggressive than yours. For example, if you drink my sperm your body will undergo changes. Your eyes will look like mine, you hair very well may change color, you may get scales in spots, but the most important change is that you will grow a womb. You will have the ability to have children." He paused and when I didn't say anything he continued. "Now, because the Xolt race is all male we have found a way to give birth to our children. It was discovered millions of years ago and perfected with technology. We give C-sections to get the young out. When this was discovered many attempts failed and our kind was endangered. But with the technology we have now there have been no failures in over 100 years." I felt my eye twitch. How the hell was I supposed to process that? But then I remembered Steven... "So my brother is pregnant? He didn't look it," I said, shifting uncomfortably. From what I remembered my brother was still his skinny nerdy self. "Because Steven is human the process is slower than normal. It could also be because Human males aren't meant to have children and his body is still trying to adjust to it. He has a small stomach but it's enough for me to say that he has a child within him." I nodded and took a deep breath. I always felt like my brother would want children but I didn't think this was how he was going to get his wish. "Does this scare you Brandon?" I looked at Xe'Zhi and nodded. "Who wouldn't be scared of something like that? I don't want children, I never really liked kids. I'm sorry but..." Xe'Zhi nodded and took my hand. "You have every right to refuse having a child. I will respect that, but that just means when having intercourse I won't let you drink my cum. We will have to be very open and vocal during our sex. Are you okay with that?" I gulped and smiled. "It sounds like fun." ~Xe'Zhi~ I smiled at my mate. His progress was much better than his brothers. What intrigued me the most was that he wanted me, and he found being vocal...hot. My tail twitched as I thought of ramming my way into him. "Good," I stood up and reached my hand out to him. "Would you like to explore the ship now?" Brandon's eyes widened and he nodded. He took my hand and launched himself to his feet. "Where are we going to go?" I chucked to myself because of his excitement. "I have to go and see my elder brother and his mate. I figured I'd give Xe'Trygg and Steven a rest before I let you see them again. Besides, ever since I brought you here Jing has been itching to meet you." ** I rang the intercom and we were granted permission to come inside. Jing and Xe'Hul were feeding their twins on the couch. Ever since Jing had children Hul been in his quarters and Trygg has been filling in for him. Steven has been teaching in the school district teaching young about Earth, Arcaina and the history of the Xolt. "Brother, Jing, it is nice to see you so well." I announced as I walked into their living area. "Xe'Zhi! Oh, is this your mate?" Jing was so excited that he gave his son to Hul and jumped to his feet to greet us. He ran up to Brandon and wrapped his arms around him. Jing's white fluffy hair was thrown into Brandon's face and he coughed. Jing giggled and pulled away but not before his kissed Brandon's cheek. "My name is Jing. That alien over there is my mate Xe'Hul, he's Xe'Zhi's older brother and the Capitan of this ship. Those are our son's Shi and Olp." Brandon, if he wanted to say anything, couldn't because Jing was too excited to stop talking. "Xe'Zhi have you had the Talk with him yet? He may seem like a professional doctor but he's also forgetful." "Jing, let our guest breath please. He just arrived on the ship yesterday." Hul said while bouncing his young on his knees. "You owe me brother, I had to force Jing to stay home last night or else he was going to visit you." I laughed, "thank you. Brandon and I were busy last night." Jing walked back to his son Shi and grabbed the bottle once again to feed him. "Brandon are you okay?" I asked as I took his hand. "He has cat ears." Jing laughed. "That's because I am not a Xolt. I'm a Chanture, which is kind of like a cat-human mix. I come from Arcaina—which is kind of like your Earth only a little different." Brandon nodded as we walked to a chair across from the happy family. "You had something you needed to ask me, Jing?" I asked while motioning to Brandon to sit. "Right, Xe'Hul and I have reason to believe that I am pregnant again," Jing said. Brandon looked concerned and stiffened. "So soon?" he asked. "Brother, he just had his young a little while ago. How can you have free time to have sex?" I asked making my brother blush. "Brandon, because Jing his feline-like he can have many children at once and it is not uncommon for Chantures to get pregnant after they have their first litter. Though I thought my brother would wait before his next batch." Brandon nodded and started to relax. "I'll keep an eye on you Jing and I'll watch for signs myself. In about a month why don't I see you again to do an ultrasound just to make sure, okay?" "Yup, I just wanted to let you know." Jing smiled and kissed Shi on the top of the head. "How's Steven doing? We got a call last night from Xe'Trygg about Steven. What happened down there?" "My father...my father and mother made some poor choices that lead Steven and I away from them. But it hurt Steven more than it did me because I knew them differently. That's all..." It was the longest sentence that Brandon spoke but it was also the saddest. He looked down to the white carpet. I wrapped my arm around his shoulders. After a bit more conversation I brought Brandon home. He was complaining of his headache. I checked his translator, which was fine, then let him sleep. I was concerned about how well he was taking this. When Steven was taken he put up a bit of a fight, but Brandon hasn't shown any. I knew that Brandon would join me, but even after all of this he still hadn't shown very many signs of distress. The most of what he's shown is his displeasure towards having children. And then there was the other matter of his family issues. He was still having issues with his brother and then his father tried to kill him. If anything he should be more distressed about that. If our relationship was going to work he would have to open up to me, or else neither of us could trust each other. ** I woke up in the middle of the night to screams. My initial instincts were to kill what ever made that awful scream, but then rational sense kicked in and I remembered that I had a companion in my room with me. I ran to the bed room and checked on Brandon. I had been sleeping in the living room because I felt he needed his space but perhaps I was wrong... "Brandon, what's wrong?" I brushed his hair out of his face. He was sweating and his face was flushed—if it weren't for the fact that he was scared I'd say he looked erotic. Brandon was shaking and he clutched onto my white cotton tunic. I couldn't understand what he was saying but tears streamed down his face and his shaking wouldn't stop. I cradled his head on my chest and rubbed his back. I took a seat on the bed and placed Brandon on my lap and rocked him. "It's okay, baby. I promise nothing will ever hurt you again..." I whispered into his ear. "...Thank you..." I felt the words more than I heard them, but they were welcomed nonetheless. I felt him kiss my neck as he drifted back to sleep. ** I heard my alarm blasting in my ear and my eyes flashed open. I jumped and growled when I saw that Brandon had the alarm in his hands and he had it next to my sensitive ears. "Teach me how to use the food maker thingy," Brandon demanded. He was no longer wearing his leather pants and jacket but rather my white t-shirt, which was more than a few sizes too big. It reminded me of an Arcain lady wearing a white dress—just without the lady. The shirt rested well past his hips. I jumped up and pushed him into the bed using just one hand to pin both down. I placed one knee between his legs and slowly ground it against his hardening shaft. My lips were just grazing his ear and I smiled because he was breathing so hard. "You don't order me, boy." I growled into his ear and he shivered underneath me. "Then tell me what to do," he breathed. His wiggled his body under me and smiled and I ground my hard cock into his belly. I was going to have fun with my boy. "Oh no, Brandon, you will have to wait for that." I kissed his neck, dragging my tongue down his strained cords. "You see, we have a little problem." I pushed the white shirt out of my way and was pleasantly surprised to see a nipple pierced. I latched onto his and started to suck causing Brandon to moan in pleasure. I moved to the next nipple and did the same until they were both a dark rose shade. I then dragged my tongue down past his belly button and to the top of his underwear. I could see his cock straining to get out and it was weeping onto the cloth. Brandon tried to thrust his hips towards my face. "I can tell you what the problem is," Brandon huffed, "I'm fucking hard for you and you won't touch me!" I smiled as I nipped at his cock and then moved away from it. "You need to learn to control yourself, Brandon. Especially before we do any playing. But first we need to talk about you. So go take a cold shower and I'll get breakfast ready." I let his hands go and I walked into the kitchenette area. "That was a bastard move you know," Brandon complained. "I know," I smiled. (Let me know what you guys think! I love comments!! Tae~ PALLATON) Xolt 2 Ch. 04 ~Brandon~ The shower looked confusing from afar, but when I got closer I noticed that there were two buttons. They had alien prints on the buttons and I had no idea what they were for. I pushed one anyway. Warm water started to fall down on me and when I looked up I noticed that the shower head was above me on the ceiling. I pressed the same button and the water turned off. Well that made sense to me, I guess. So that left the other button. What the fuck was that for? I turned the shower back on and scrubbed by body with my hands before I decided to press the second button. I was thankful that I did because it was a soap dispenser. Thankful for my curious mind I washed my hair and my body using the same scentless soap. The one area I refused to go near was my pelvis. I was afraid that if I got to close I would touch myself and give myself pleasure when I was told not to. I don't know why Xe'Zhi wanted to talk to me. There was nothing wrong me...perhaps. I couldn't come up with any reason, at least not verbally. I knew exactly what was wrong with me but I was afraid to say it. I was washing my hair when I felt the base of my neck. There was a scab. I knew that was where the translator was, Xe'Zhi told me about it so I wouldn't be worried. But to know that there was a foreign object in my brain was kind of creepy. But then again that happened all the time on Earth too. I got many needles. I have a nipple ring. I ate food. I used sex toys, none of those things naturally came with me when I was born. I guess the creepy factor is that I was right. I always had a feeling that there was Aliens, but to be right is a whole other story. To know that my best friend is an Alien is another story. To know that my brother is married to an Alien is just weird. He hated aliens; he got so freaked out by them that one time he fainted when we were watching Independence Day. How the hell did he overcome his fear of them to get pregnant and marry one? "Brandon, are you almost done?" I heard from outside the door. His voice was so low, gravely and sexy. It was the voice I always imagined he'd have. Back on Earth when I rubbed my cock thinking of my lover that was the voice I always imagined it would be. And now...my fantasies no longer have a human male in them but an Alien one. What did that mean about me? Was I some kind of slut or a nut-job because I wanted this alien to fuck me as hard as he could? Was it a bad thing that I was turned on by the thought of him tying me to the bed and slowly touching me? I wanted him to bite me; I wanted to suck him off. When he was touching me, and I could feel his cock and sucking him was the only thing I wanted from him. But then...I don't want children. I don't like kids. Men aren't supposed to have children; we aren't made to have children. We were made to help procreate but to actually birth one? No, that's not what we're for. I felt myself float away into my thoughts again but was helpless to stop it. "Brandon, are you okay? I asked you a question." "Sorry! I got lost in this wonderful shower of yours," I smiled. His words sent shivers down my back even though I was in a nice warm shower. "You should probably get out the shower now. Breakfast is ready for you," he said. * After I got out of the shower I dried and walked naked to the bedroom, hoping that he was there waiting for me. I was slightly surprised to see that he wasn't. On the made bed there was a small black shirt and short shorts. They were a size too big for me and it made me wonder where he got these because he was way too big to fit them. Perhaps he got them from my brother? I pulled the clothes on and walked out the open door. Xe'Zhi was at a table reading that small computer thingy that Ryan had as well. I took a moment to look at him. I know I seem to do that a lot but when you first arrive to an alien world you have a right to stare. I was amazed that green hair looked so good on him, but he had those weird clips in his hair. It looked like they were made to imitate pigtails, but they rested on his shoulders with the clips close to the end of his hair. I didn't like the glass clips, they didn't suit him because he looked so much better with his hair down and at rest. His eyes looked half closed because he was reading something and he had a cup of something in his other hand. Across from him he had a plate of food waiting for me. The light from a sun was shining into the room from a large uncovered window on the other side of the room. It was kind of cool to see space from outside your own window. "Hey," I said giving a weak wave. I felt strange in these clothes, all I could say was at least the shirt was black. The shorts were really short, like if they were any shorter they'd be showing my ass, but around the waist it was too big so I was holding the shorts up. "There you are." He gave me a puzzled look. "Is there something wrong with your clothes?" I nodded as I walked over to the seat across from him. "The pants are too big." I said picking the fork-like-thing up to eat some eggs. "Really? They are the smallest size your brother could find," he mumbled with concern in his voice, though you could tell he was trying to hide it. I was beginning to see that this culture was more of a 'don't show how you really feel' kind of deal. Me being a very emotional person may not work here. "It's fine. If you can get me a sewing machine, thread and some needles I can probably tailor some of my clothes if not make them myself." I shrugged it off like it was nothing and finished eating. The food was great and I just couldn't stop eating. "You can sew?" He asked. He had his iPod thingy on the table as he watched me eat. Only occasionally did he take a sip of what he had in his cup. "Yeah, it was one thing that my mother and father was super against..." It hurt to say those words. But out of everything I did—my clothes, the fact that I wore makeup, my friends, and my artistic nature—they were really against homosexuals and men who could do feminine things, like sewing. "Brandon, are you okay?" I looked up at him; he was starring right into my eyes. I looked down again and nodded. If I looked into his eyes again I would cry, and he's already seen me bawl. He needs a strong lover and not a weakling like me. I shouldn't cry because they couldn't accept me. I already knew about them... "Don't lie to me, Brandon. I need you to tell me the truth if you want us to play. How will I know if you're hurting if you'll only lie to me? That is not a healthy relationship. Tell me the truth." "I don't know what to say," I whispered. I heard a chair scrap the floor and in no longer than two minutes I was on his lap while we sat on the couch opposite of where we were eating. "How are you feeling about your parents?" He asked. He probably was trying to judge how I was emotionally. Steven took it poorly and he was probably trying to see if I was the same. He took his hand and brushed it against my cheek. "Honestly, I could care less about them." I said trying not to look into his eyes. It was hard to do though because I was straddling his lap and he was staring into my eyes. "Don't try to be emotionless, Brandon. Men who cry—who can show their feelings no matter how weak they think it is—are very strong indeed. I need you to be strong and show me how you feel. Remember, we need to be a vocal couple." He reminded me. "How do you feel about them?" I felt tears threaten to fall. They were prickling at the edges of my eyes just waiting to caress my cheek. It was painful almost because I knew that no matter how hard I'd try I wouldn't be right for him. I'd always be a small, twink like Goth boy who was hated by all his family members. Who was weak and couldn't hold himself together no matter how easy it should have been. I wasn't right for him or anyone else. I could understand why my brother hated me so much. I was weak... "I...I knew how they felt about gay people. But I wanted them to know about you because they're my parents. I just didn't think that they'd try to kill me!" I felt a tear fall down one side of my face. "When I think about it scares me! I could have died by the hands of my father...I-I just feel happy that they didn't try to kill Steven. He was always sheltered, and now that I know that he has a child in him..." The tears wouldn't stop falling now. "It's not fair! They'd rather have me dead because I'm the weird one! I'm the one who 'had no future'. Who was the freak of the family...I was the one they were willing to kill." By then I was trembling in his arms and the words wouldn't stop flowing. But yet, at the same time it felt good to have finally said it. It was killing me more trying to be strong, but that didn't mean that it was okay for me to be weak. "I don't want to die, Zhi! I want to be in your arms. I don't wanna die...I don't want to die...." I let my face rest on his shoulder as the tears spilled, wetting his clothes. I felt his hand rub my back as I let all my frustration out. He rested his other hand on the back of my head, letting me know it was okay to let it all out. Once I started to calm down he kissed the top of my head and lifted it using a finger. He made me look into his pupil-less eyes. For once I saw real strong emotions swirl inside them. Sadness, happiness, concern, even a little hatred was in there. But one emotion that really stuck out to me was pride. I could tell that he was proud of me. Proud because I faced whatever was sneaking inside me, because I showed him something he knew had to be shown even though it was hard to do. "How do you feel now?" he asked, still holding my head in place. "I feel better," I whispered. A tear ran down my face and his tongue slipped out of his mouth and he licked it away. His tongue was soft and smooth and a pale pink. "Do you truly want to live with me? To be my partner, my lover and my friend? Are you willing to take the chance of getting pregnant to be with me no matter what?" He brushed my hair with his fingers. "Because there will always be a chance, no matter how careful we are. Do you understand? We can and will get through this, Brandon." I started to cry again. It sounded like he was proposing to me, like they did in those chick flicks on Earth. Zhi was blushing, slightly but enough that you could see it on his white scaled face. I knew that his words meant more than what I could comprehend. I couldn't speak, so I nodded. I nodded as I kissed the crevasse of his neck; I nodded when he lifted my head with both hands and kissed me deeply. I nodded as we hugged. ~Xe'Zhi~ I knew that he was filled with pain and sadness because of his father, but I didn't realize that his distress was to the point of absolute fear. As a doctor I have vowed to never kill another being, but if I ever met that man again I would kill him in the most painful way I could think of just because he had hurt my Brandon. No one would be able to stop me because that man would deserve it. I fought myself not to storm to Hul and demand that I go back to Earth. I knew that Brandon needed me more than his father needed my fist wrapped around his still beating heart. Plus I couldn't leave him alone, it was hard enough that I had to go to work and leave him in my home. As the head doctor on the ship I needed to be in the office. I had called Hul to see what I should do and he said that Steven should teach his brother the ways of our culture. I wasn't too sure if that was a good idea considering the fact that there was still much animosity between them and that their father was a psychopathic freak. And so I asked if Jing could also be there to be a cushion between them. If there were arguments or awkward moments Jing would be there to soften them. After we spent the better part of the morning on the couch cuddling I told him that I had to go to work. He was disappointed and I could easily see it. It was heart breaking because I didn't want to do that to him but it was important that I had to work. He said he understood but whether he truly did or not was hidden from me. He followed me into the bedroom. I opened the closet and he was surprised that it was even there. "I thought that was just the wall. It blends in so well," he mused. His voice was still shaky but at least the quivering had stopped. I pulled my uniform out and stripped myself of my current clothes. I was naked standing in front of my Brandon. I was semi-hard as I pulled my feet through the bottom half of the uniform. Brandon was fully hard, clearly showing in his shorts. As I finished pulling on the one piece outfit we were both ready to get out of our clothes. Brandon's hand slowly made its way to his cock and began to grind and pump. I could tell he wanted release but all the fun in getting release was the teasing that came before it. I watched as he slowly began to masturbate. I let him even touch his cock bare. He was leaking and pumping fiercely, but not once did we break eye contact. He was about to lose his control when I pulled his hand away from him. I wagged my finger at him and let a ghost of a smile appear on my face. "Not yet, Brandon. Wait." I brushed my lips against his ears and whispered, "later." "Ungh...But Zhi..." he moaned. He was really struggling to stay by the edge and not jump over it. His hips were still thrusting into the air in vain hope that he would earn release. "Brandon, take a deep breath. I asked you to wait and you will wait. Now is not the time for release. I have to work and it would not be fair if I couldn't get any release as well, now would it?" Brandon's blue eyes looked up to me, he was struggling so much. Trying his hardest to do what I said, but being so young he didn't have the experience to do so. He inhaled deeply and exhaled as softly as he could. He repeated the action until he was calm. "Are you better?" I asked looking at his semi-hard cock. He was no longer thrusting into the air but it was still evident that he wanted to. "...Yeah...Kind of," he gave an airy laugh. "Can you put your clothes back on so we can go before I am late for work?" I didn't tell him that if we left at that moment it wouldn't have mattered. I was going to be late anyways. In my opinion it was good we did that, so he could experience some of my power and relish in my sexual teasing. "Yeah..." He got off the bed and pulled his shorts back on. His legs were a little shaky but after *that* it was understandable. I had a rock hard erection that I knew I couldn't hide and so I walked proudly with it; proving to my shipmates that I was proud of my lover and my attraction to him. Many of them walked past me giving me second glances, even after Brandon left in the care of Jing. When I walked into my office I found Trygg sitting in my seat. His eyes widened at the sight of me. "Well, I hope that's not for me. I must say I am flattered, big brother, but I am married." He gestured at my cock and laughed. I didn't get the joke, but then again I also didn't live on Earth for the better part of my scientific life. "Brandon...Um, getting you up in the morning?" He asked, his face turning crimson. Between the three of us, Trygg was the most shy. He was always uncomfortable talking about sex. I was the best of the three of us and that was why I became a doctor. The information just stuck with me the best. "He is doing just fine. Still struggling with his father, but we made progress this morning." I motioned for him to get out of my seat. He sighed and stood up. "I'm *sure* that's what you guys did this morning. Judging by the bulge in your suit it was certainly hot and steamy progress." "No, you idiot. He was struggling with something completely different, much like Steven. More in the sense that the fucking idiot father of theirs tried to kill Brandon and that was not something either of them should have gone through." I sighed as I turned my computer on. "Sounds like you hate that man." It wasn't a question. Trygg knew exactly how I felt, and probably for the same reasons. "He tried to kill Brandon and in the process he traumatized your mate. Of course I hate him. I despise him from the very depths of my heart. If I could eradicate him from the Earth they would benefit greatly without him." I said it so calmly that I'm sure that was what scared him more than the words themselves. "I've never heard you say that. Normally you're all about preserving life. What happened to that?" "He touched what was mine. He hurt what is mine. I will not stand for that, you of all people should understand that Xe'Trygg." I looked into his cold blue eyes. "You're right. I can't tell you how hard it was for me not to go back and kill him. Even I didn't know how bad his father was. I guess his family really cared about appearances because I couldn't even guess that behaviour would come from them." He walked to the door and smiled. "All I can say, though, is that Steven really appreciated my presence last night." He chuckled and walked to his office, hopefully, to do some work. * Throughout the just the morning I had over five patients. That was at least three more than usual. It very well could have been due to the fact that I wasn't at work for a few days, or there was something going on that I was not briefed on. My assistant told me it was because they all refused to see him but rather me instead. I laughed because he soon began to ask if he was a good nurse. I told him he was and that was the honest truth. He had been the best nurse I had ever had. It was the end of the work day. I walked back to Jing's home and waited to be let in. When the door was opened all three of the males were sitting on the ground. Jing and Steven held the young and Brandon sat talking to them. "Really? Wow that sounds like a messed up society." I heard Brandon say. Trygg, who had opened the door for me, walked me into the living room; Brandon's back was to me. I placed my finger to my lips, they didn't show it but Steven and Jing looked as if they understood. "Well, it's no different from the Earth society. How many wars have there been just over religion? Now think about all the wars there have been over land and succession. We just happened to have a much more devastating war than you. Arcaina was a pretty land, from what I was told, but it had changed drastically since I had been there last. Right, Xe'Hul?" My oldest brother walked in from the kitchenette area with a formula bottle. He noticed me and gave me a slight nod, so slight that only I noticed. Part of the joys of being his brother and most trusted co-worker. "It was beautiful at one point, but yes it has changed a lot," He said as he joined his mate on the floor. "Think of New York City, Brandon. Kinda just like that," Trygg laughed. Brandon and my youngest brother seemed to be getting along just as they always have. That was a good sign. Perhaps their relationship wasn't destroyed when Trygg stole his brother. "Only, with aliens everywhere," I said. Brandon jumped and turned his body to me. He gave me a pout and crossed his arms. "That wasn't very nice, Zhi," He grumbled. I smiled as I walked closer to my Brandon. The twins looked at me and cooed; I smiled and blew the young kisses. They giggled and squealed at each other. Once I stood with my leg at Brandon's shoulder I placed my hand next to his head and scratched it, in turn receiving a small moan. "I am okay with that," I said quietly, "Are you ready to go home?" The eyes that Brandon sent my way were the most sinful pools of blue I had ever seen. All at once calling my name silently and begging to be fucked wildly. I could smell his desire pouring off of him and I knew my brothers could as well. While it pissed me off that they would know his scent it also pleased me to know that I was having that effect on him and I hadn't even done anything yet. Xolt 2 Ch. 04 "...Yea, take me home." He ordered. I gave him a questioning look and raised my head and looked down at him. "Please take me home." He changed. I chuckled and gave him my hand and helped him up. "Thank you for spending time with Brandon. I hope you look forward to seeing him tomorrow," I stated as I left. Before the door was shut all I could hear was 'damn, that was intense...' from Steven. All I wanted to do was smile and agree with Steven. It was indeed intense, but it was intense in all the right ways. * The door shut behind us and his scent was already dripping from him. He ran into the bathroom and shut the door behind him. *I wonder what you are doing, Brandon...* While he was messing around in the bathroom I quickly stripped myself of all my clothes. I pulled my hair out of the glass hair clamps and set the bed up for our first night of playing. The silk ropes were fastened in the appropriate places at the head of the bed—looped through the silver hooks. I tugged on them to make sure that they were sturdy, they were able to hold up to me they would be more than perfect for my Brandon. Once that was done I pulled out a bottle of scented oil and placed it on the side table. I smirked at my handy work. It was perfect, better than perfect. It was fantastic and I couldn't wait to see his face when I tied him up and fucked him senseless. I lounged on the bed as I waited for him to come out. My cock was standing straight up and wept as I waited. I kept thinking about his pretty face, about what it would look like with crimson painted on his cheek. What his ass would look like red from my hand... I gave a low moan to the thought. Waiting was becoming unbearable. Then, the door swooshed open. He stood there in front of me naked, from head to foot bare of all clothes. Breathe taking. His pink cock stood proud before me, also weeping tears of excitement. His face was already flushed and his breathing already shallow. I licked my lips. I crooked my finger and beckoned him to me. Silently he made his way to me with the grace of the most elegant animal. I smirked as he gasped when the cool silk sheets touched his hot pink cock. If he thought that was cool, just wait until he felt what I was going to do to him... He sat patiently on his knees as he waited for directions. I sat up onto my elbows and took my right hand and cupped his cheek. He pushed his face into my grasp and inhaled as if to memorize my scent. My hand trailed down from his face, slowly down his body, until I reached his hand. I grasped it and pulled him to me so that he was sitting on top of me. My cock nestled between his ass cheeks and his cock grinding against my stomach. I took hold of his black hair and yanked him so that his face was only inches from my own. I nipped at his bottom lip then soothed the sting with my tongue. "Do you want this?" I whispered, brushing my nose softly across his cheek. My eyes were half closed because of his heavenly scent. "Oh...oh god yea..." He gasped, grinding his hips in little circles against my body. His dirty little gasps of pleasure were driving me crazy. It wasn't going to be soft and romantic like I wanted it to be. It was going to be hard and fast. "How badly do you want it?" I husked into his ear, making sure that my teeth grazed his ear lobe. My cock was starting to slowly thrust between the tight mounds of flesh. My breathing was also getting heavier. "Pretty badly..." He moaned into my shoulder. "Please...I'm ready just do it already..." Pulling back I looked at my boy. "Ready? If I remember correctly you were quiet cheeky at Jing's house. That is disrespect towards me and your hosts. By my standards you should be corrected immediately." He looked slightly worried and sat up. "I think you need a spanking." (~Sorry I stopped there. Lets add some crazy intense pauses, shall we *evil grin* I know it's a little late but Happy New years!! I'm am super happy you guys are liking the story so far. I have a LOT planned for these guys. I was also thinking about doing a side interview-like-thing. So if you guys want to ask me some questions, either for the characters or me or whatever I would be more than happy to answer them in the most creative way I know how! I love you all and I look forward to hearing for Ya'll!! Remember to comment and vote, I love hearing from you :D Tae PALLATON~) Xolt 2 Ch. 05 ~Brandon~ He was serious. There were no glimmers of a joke in his eyes, he wanted to spank me. And while his eyes held no laughter they held lust. He wasn't going to hurt me but there was going to be spankings whether I wanted them or not. And I just knew I was going to enjoy them... "Over my knee, Brandon," he ordered. His voice was steady, his voice was lower, and his voice was huskier. I shivered. Without telling my body to listen it did so on its own. Slowly I crawled down and over his knee while he still lay on the bed. I kept my knees bent so my ass was in the air. I felt very exposed and I could feel my face burning. I heard a chuckled from above me. "What is it?" I asked, afraid that I had done something wrong. "Your little ass is shaking for me." He used the palm of his hand and rubbed my bottom. "Do you want this?" I could tell that he was testing me, but even though I knew that I didn't know what the right answer was. I was frightened but I knew that whatever I said he would be okay with it. Xe'Zhi was nice and caring and would understand. I bit my bottom lip. "I don't know," I replied honestly. I felt his hand lift my face so that I could see into his eyes. "I will never hurt you. If you feel uncomfortable you say yellow, we will find out how to make it better. If you want me to stop completely you say red, especially if I am hurting you and you don't like it. I will never do anything you don't want me to, but I will not stop fully unless you say red." He kissed his finger tips and placed them on my lips. "I will never hurt you, Brandon." I couldn't say anything, not to that. He was right and I knew he was right. If he thought I couldn't handle it he wouldn't have said it in the first place. He would never hurt me. "Do you want to try?" He asked, still rubbing my ass. "Yes, please Sir," I moaned. I was surprised in myself because I said that. I was thinking it but the words fell from my lips. "Mm, good boy," his words sounded as if they were dipped in honey. "Get ready, boy." I didn't have time to brace myself because he had already spanked me by the time 'boy' was said. I jumped and he soothed the sting away with the gentle rubbing of his palm. "Get ready, boy," he said again. Every time he said that I was spanked before 'boy' was finished. He would rub my ass before he did it again. Occasionally he would spank harder, and other times it would be a soft tap. It didn't matter how hard he spanked though, each time he did it I let out a small moan. "Your ass is red," he smiled. "How do you feel?" "Ungh..." I moaned, "Please...I need more..." I heard the snap of a lip being opened and cool fingers at my entrance. "Ahh!" I gasped. His digit slowly traced my entrance and slowly made its way inside. It was cold and it was long. There was no pain but it felt different having his finger in me opposed to one of the sex toys I had at Earth. "You are quivering, Brandon. How do you feel?" He was checking in on me. He stepped out of his role as Dom and into the role as Zhi to see if I was okay. At first I didn't understand what he meant, and then it hit me. My legs were shaking, as were my arms, and my entrance as well. "I feel good," I gasped and pushed back on his finger. I wanted more and I wanted it faster. "More, please. Sir, more..." The air in the room changed and two fingers entered me. "Good boy," he purred. The Dom was back. "Tell me what you want, boy." If I was going to be honest I wanted everything. Everything about him, I wanted to please him, to make him happy. I would do whatever he wanted me to. I was his and at that moment I could feel that connection so strongly that I stopped breathing—just for a moment, but it was there. The connection, the line, the chain that linked us together; I wanted more. "You," I moaned into my arm. He was pumping two fingers in and out of me. I was shivering with delight. "I want more of you..." "Good boy," he chuckled as his fingers left my body. I groaned in protest but that quickly changed as he flipped me onto my back. He was straddling my waist and his cock bobbed in front of my face. The tip was blue. I looked at it and for a moment admired the beauty of it. It went from a deep blue and faded to his normal pale white scales. It was gorgeous. "Suck it," he ordered. My eyes flashed up to him. He was about to cross a line we drew in the very beginning. I wasn't going to stand for that. I was a sub but I was strong. Zhi placed his hands on my face and pleaded with his eyes. "I will tell you before I cum. I want to be inside you when I do." I took a deep breath and nodded. I was okay with that... We just had to be verbal. I reached out and touched his length, it jumped and I smiled. He was very excited. I could see desire in every form on his body. His green eyes were darkened, his body was trembling, his voice was deep and husky. I knew this was true for me as well but it was more exciting to know that I was doing that to him. I was having a hard time reaching him with my mouth so Zhi moved up my body a little. Once he deemed he was at the right distance I latched my mouth over the crown of his cock. He shivered and I hummed. I licked the underside of his cock. I sucked in deeply and pulled off his cock. With an audible popping sound, I licked up and down the dripping blue hued flesh. It felt like I was sucking his cock for a really long time but I knew it wasn't. I was happy because he was twitching all over the place. His tail was swishing behind him which was my cue that he was close. I was going to get fucked hard now. I gazed into his lust filled eyes and pleaded him to fuck me—preferably hard and fast. "Mm, good job, boy. You get your treat now..." He got off of me and stared. I looked down at my body. The only thing I could see that was different was the hue of my cock. It went from kind of pink to angry reddish-purple. "Are you needy?" I tried, oh how I tried but I couldn't tell him how badly I wanted him. My voice was stuck. It was like my voice was too busy to register what was going on to focus on speaking. I nodded as I licked my lip. "I can see this," he smirked, "I will fuck you well, boy. You may not be able to walk tomorrow." He gave me a sinister chuckle. I shivered and gave him a loud moan. He pinned my legs towards my shoulders and lined himself up. "Are you ready?" I nodded and tried to push back on him. "Good boy." It was one fluid motion and he was inside me. There was a little resistance but it wasn't horrible, I was able to tolerate it. He started out slowly, it wasn't much first. But the more I moaned the more he pushed into me. The more I cried out for him the faster he went. I was being plowed and I could no longer even moan. He was in no better condition. All we could do was grunt, gasp, and give each other vague grunts of pleasure. I could feel my orgasm start out as a little fluttering feeling within my belly, but as soon as I recognized the signs of my orgasm it boomed into an explosion. I gave a scream of pleasure and cum gushed out of me like I never thought I could. Zhi just kept plowing, even though I was sure my channel was squeezing his cock to an almost painful extent. He started to grunt, louder and louder before I felt him pull out of my body and cum all over my belly. He flopped down on top of me and smiled. "Well worth it," he whispered before he kissed my nose. "I love you, Brandon." I felt tears threaten to fall. Love was a powerful word, and it was a word people rarely used with me. Through muddled sounds of happiness I whispered, "I love you, too." * I woke up sometime in the middle of the night to Zhi talking to someone in the other room. When I got up he walked in and picked me up. "Just go back to sleep, Brandon. Don't worry about it," he smiled. * I woke up early the next morning. There was the smell of coffee and my stomach growled. I had missed my favorite drink of all time. I hadn't had it since I left Earth. "Zhi? How did you know that I liked coffee?" I pulled on the overly large shirt that was left on the floor and walked to the living room area that Zhi liked to be in during the morning. When I looked into the kitchen I saw Steven at the stove. "Sorry I'm not Xe'Zhi," he smiled, "But he had asked me to come in for him about an hour ago." "Where is he?" I asked sitting at the table. My ass was cold on the wood chair. "He got called into work early. Jing wants to know if you want to come with him to his check-up. You'd get to see Xe'Zhi in his workplace." Steven turned around and set a mug of coffee in front of me. Two cream and three sugars. He still remembered how I took my coffee... "Thanks..." "Our food will be done soon. I just started and the machine is slow when it comes to Earth foods. Xe'Trygg thinks it's because the computer takes files directly from the Earth database and it takes a while to decode." "Good to know," I smiled. My coffee was perfect. We kind of just sat across from each other, drinking our hot drinks, thinking. We acted like nothing had changed between us, but we knew that was a lie. Everything had changed, and it changed so fast it was kind of hard to comprehend it all. We didn't quiet know how to act and it clearly showed. "So...your baby. Do you know if it's a boy or a girl yet?" I asked, trying to break the silence. I don't know why I choose birth as a subject. That was stupid of me. Steven rubbed his belly and smiled. "We know he's a baby boy. There is no such thing as a female Xolt, everyone is male. I'm okay with that though. I'm sure he'll be a beautiful, strong baby." He looked at his belly with such love that it was kind of admiral. I was touched by his show of affection. "Well, considering it's you and my best friend I'm sure he'll be great," I laughed. It's been a while and it still felt weird to call...Xe'Trygg my friend. I know that the only difference between him and Ryan were appearances and names but it's still so much...He was an alien the whole time and I didn't know it. "Are you scared?" I looked up. My brother didn't look angry, or sad, but I could tell that he understood how I felt. "Yeah," I gave a nervous laugh. "I mean, I don't even really like kids. So the chance of me having one is fucking scary." Steven laughed. "Understandable, I know exactly how you feel. I was so frightened with the idea as well. But the more I thought about it the more I wanted to have children." He rubbed his belly again. "Xe'Zhi has some concerns for us. He thinks the reason why it's taking so long is because I'm human. My body might be reacting poorly to Xe'Trygg's DNA. I just don't want anything to happen to Wil'Han." "You named your baby already?" Steven nodded and went to the machine to pick up our food as soon as it chimed. "We were expecting to have him about a month ago and that didn't happen. We were so scared that something was wrong, but when Xe'Zhi did tests on me we found that Wil'Han was still developing. He was just slower." "Damn..." "Yeah, it was awful at the time. We understand more now. Being a parent won't be that bad though, it'll be scary and stressful but I think that there are more moments of happiness than there are anything else. I can't wait to experience it." "I can see you being a good dad." I stated. I could also see him being a good teacher. "Did you ever happen become a teacher?" Steven's face lit up. Probably because I mentioned his dream job. "Yeah, actually. I can't believe you remembered. I always thought you kind of never cared about me." It wasn't like I didn't care, I just tried not to. "That's good. So you teach here then?" "Yeah, I'm on Young Leave though. I'm too pregnant for the classroom," he chuckled, probably because of the very Human terminology that the aliens were using. "Though my students thought my belly was cool. When they see me walking in the hallways they always ask how my baby is. I think it's cute." I nodded, "yeah that's pretty cute." I smiled and took a bite of the pancakes Steven placed in front of me. "Wow, so I'm going to be an Uncle...That's pretty freaking weird...". There was an awkward silence as we ate our breakfast. "Brandon," Steven started, "I'm sorry. I know that when I saw you back there I was...I was an asshole. I just couldn't handle seeing you being so hypocritical the way you were. I never knew that you were also..." I knew exactly what he was talking about. That night when Zhi picked me up neither of us were very happy about seeing each other. "It's okay. I didn't really know I was gay either until I went through your laptop. I kind of went through some of the sites you had favorite and explored." I blushed. It was kind of embarrassing to talk about this kind of thing with your brother. "Oh..." Steven blushed a bright crimson. "Well at least you know what you like now." We both gave a nervous laugh. "I'm also sorry about Dad," Steven said. "I-I didn't know what he was really like. I didn't realize you were going through that all by yourself...I-I can't say I agree with what you did but I can understand why you did it...I mean you knew what they were really like and they were being *tolerant* with me. It would have been worse for you." He took a deep breath. "I just can't believe that he tried to kill you. Brandon, I am really sorry! I should have been more understanding!" I put my hand up to stop him. "Please, don't worry about it. Zhi has been taking good care of me so I'm healthy and safe. I'm just glad he didn't touch you. I would have been...I would have been pissed if he hurt you and your baby." I said. Time seemed to sit still as Steven and I looked at each other. We were finally getting over that bump in our lives. The bump that was pulling us apart. He finally nodded at me and picked up our dishes and put it back into the machine. "Today, after Jing's appointment let's go to the library and we'll pick up some reading material for you." Steven was happy and putting his shoes back on. "Why?" I asked walking back into the bedroom. I needed to put on my 'too big to fit' clothes. "Well, I think that you'd be interested in the History of their Race. It's kind of insane," he smiled. Great, no matter where I went I was still going to school... ~Xe'Zhi~ I went to work early this morning. I didn't want to but after my talk with Xe'Hul I couldn't sleep. I was worried for Jing... Hul had called because Jing was having sever pain but neither Jing nor Hul could find out where or why it was happening. My only advice was for Jing to take some mild pain killers. Before I left for work I called Steven and asked if he'd be willing to take care of Brandon while I was at work. He seemed eager to do it so before I left I gave him a hug. Something I rarely ever do. As soon as I got to my office I started to prepare a few tests for Jing. Both Hul and I were certain that Jing was going to have another baby. Whether or not his body could handle it was uncertain. Chantures were made up of both male and female and so there was no reason for him to have to give birth. I was more worried about him than his baby. During his last pregnancy he looked deathly ill at one point and he had twins. I had to find out now how many he was going to have this time and see if it were really worth having the young. Having an abortion wasn't unheard of but it was a last resort. It was dangerous mainly, but we've also been taught to take care of our young no matter what. It was going to hard for us to do if that was what needed to be done. It was just about time for Jing's appointment when I heard my nurse trying to calm a sudden commotion. I walked out of my office to see three familiar faces; Jing, Steven, and Brandon. "I'm sorry but you two can't come into the appointment with him. That goes against the rules! You'll just have to wait out here." My nurse said. He was doing his best to sound calm and collected but there was a frustrated tone in his voice. "I can take it from here, thank you." I smiled at my nurse. He sighed and walked back to his desk at the front. I turned at looked at the troublesome trio. I pressed my lips into a tight line and stared at them. I was not impressed with their behaviour. "What is going on here?" I asked. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Brandon flinch at my tone. I wanted to touch him and sooth him but that would be unprofessional. I had to remain calm. "They just wanted to come in with me," Jing smiled. He had his hand on his belly. I ended up doing a double take at his stomach. He was about the same size as Steven was and Steven had been pregnant for almost a whole year. This time his pregnancy was coming even faster. This was going to be difficult... "I see," I nodded. I understood why. Steven probably put it into Brandon's head that he would be able to see me in my element. Though Steven was wrong. I never made exceptions to the rules, even if Brandon was my boy. "I'm sorry you two, but you might as well go somewhere else and wait. The rules are the rules and the rules state that the appointment can only be witnessed by the mate." Steven looked sad and regarded his brother with an apology. All the while Brandon couldn't take his eyes off me. I could there was a faint trace of Brandon's desire in the air. Brandon and Steven decided to walk to the library and find some books while they waited and off they went. As soon as they were out of sight Jing just about fell to the ground. "I never thought they'd leave," he groaned as I caught him. "Tell me what's wrong." I carried him into my medical office and placed him on the bed. "She's being difficult," Jing muttered. "She?" I couldn't wrap my head around it? A female was on board the ship? Surely I would have heard of that. Hul was good at letting me know when there were visitors on the ship, even if they were minor. "My baby..." Jing's tired eyes opened. "I think my baby is a girl." (And on that note Happy Valentines Day!!! This is my Early gift for ya'll!! I'll see about writing a short story for before the big day, but have this for now! It's kinda short but hopefully it'll make some of you happy! Have a good one and I'll talk to Ya'll soon with the short--Hopefully! Tae~!) Xolt 2 Ch. 06 * Jing had tears in his eyes and his face was twisted with pain. I brushed his white hair back and pulled his shirt over his extended belly. He was swollen, and it wasn't just because he was pregnant. Something was wrong. "How do you know?" I pulled the ultra-sound machine over and started to prep Jing for the test. Jing struggled with a chuckle, "I just know." I placed the machine over his belly and waited for an image to appear on the screen. While it was similar to Earth technology ours was far more advanced. Before either of us was ready there was an image of a small body on the screen. I tried looking from all angles, I even created a 3D image and no matter how hard I tried there was no sign of a baby penis. There was a tail, fingers, toes, eyes and so on, but no male genitals. "...I don't know how to explain this..." I murmured. "You're young is a female..." I pulled my communication pad out and called Xe'Hul. "Yeah?" My brother asked. "You may want to come down here, Hul. I have some news for you and your mate." * ~Brandon~ "Is it me or did he look ill?" I asked looking through digital data base. It was their version of a library; all you had to do was download the book file and when your time was up it would disappear off your digital reader. I kind of didn't like it because I liked having an actual book in my hands but Steven was right, I did need to read something. "Who?" Steven asked. He was searching a little more thoroughly then me. "Jing, he looked like he wasn't doing too well," I said. I was having no luck finding anything that I was interested in. "Oh, when he had his twins he looked like that as well. I think it's just the process his body goes through when having young." Steven clicked the download button and he had his third book. They were all history books short of one. It was a romance book. "I don't know... his coloration was really bad. I was really worried for him..." I found a book about traditional Arcain painting. It seemed promising mainly because I like art. "Well, he's with Zhi now so hopefully he'll be okay." "Oh, most likely. Zhi is really good with stuff like this. How else would be become Medical Officer?" I smiled. Yeah, my Zhi was strong, powerful, smart and incredibly sexy. And all mine. I was very happy to have him with me. * ~Xe'Zhi~ "What is it?" Hul exclaimed as he walked into the back room. He looked wild eyed and scared half to death that something had happened to his mate and his baby. His green hair was messy, like he ran his fingers through it more than a few times. He was sweating a little, so he probably ended up running here. Normally my brother was cool, calm and collected but when it came to Jing logic was always in second place. "Sit," I instructed. I waited until my brother was sitting next to his mate, holding his hand tightly. "You're mate is having a female young. This is going to be a difficult path for you two because no one here has ever had a female. It's unheard of." I pulled up the 3D image of the baby for both parents to see. Hul looked at Jing and his mated nodded, blinking tears away. I wasn't sure why he was crying, but it could have been because of a multitude of reasons. I thought that perhaps I was acting too cold towards the situation, but I had to act that the advisor that my brother needed and the doctor Jing needed. There was no wiggle room in this situation and as much as I felt bad, it needed to be done. "The only reasonably explanation I can come up with is that Chantures have both male and female young. It is possible that Jing's DNA was stronger this time around but that also means that because Jing's DNA is stronger the birthing process will be faster. Correct me if I'm wrong, Jing, but Chantures have a fasting birthing process than any other species alive. Add Xolt DNA, which is not only aggressive but also very fast, and this could be a dangerous pregnancy." I took a deep breath. This was hard, worse than anything I have ever had to do before. "As far as I can tell, you are having only once child this time. We'll have to keep a close eye on you. Last time you were almost dangerously ill and due to the sheer speed of this pregnancy there is a higher risk of something going wrong." "What do you suggest? Will something happen to her? Will she...will she have problems as well then?" I half expected it to be Hul, but it was Jing. I knew bits of his past and I knew that being left of—being in the dark—was not something he was interested in much less wanting that for his child. "That I can't tell just yet, I'll have to do a few more tests before I'll be able to say for sure, but considering the DNA recipe I would say that she won't be blind. She may have bad eye sight but she would be able to see with added help such as eye glasses." I sighed. This was the worst part. "As for what you should do is entirely up to you Jing. This is going to be dangerous, for you. We can terminate the birth and prevent you from being seriously injured, or we can let the process finish and closely monitor you. There is a very good chance that you will have to stay here with 24/7 supervision. Depending on pain levels you may have to hooked up to the system." In other words he would be under a stronger amount of pain killers, which could be harmful to the child. Jing looked down to his belly; while it wasn't huge it was still bigger than it should have been. He looked sad, torn perhaps. I couldn't imagine what it would be like for him, for him and my brother. I didn't want anyone to have to go through this. Terminate your child or suffer? He rubbed his belly and gave it soft cooing sounds, similar to a cat purring. "What are the chances of me surviving?" His rough voice cut the air. I hadn't realized how thick it had become. "That's uncertain; there are too many factors to consider..." I said quietly. For the first time in my life I hated my job. I hated having to do this to my brother...To Jing and to his baby. It wasn't fair. "Jing...We don't have to give him an answer now. We can go home and think about it." Hul wrapped his arm around his mate's slender shoulder. Jing closed his eyes and tears rolled from the corners. "But we do...She's growing so fast that I can feel her, Xe'Hul. If we don't choose now she will choose for us." He opened his eyes. They were pink and glossy; his face was flushed and streaky with tears. "I want to be ready for her. I want her to know that I love her..." "It sounds like to me you've already made up your mind," I said taking a seat on my desk's corner. "But maybe you should say it aloud, Jing. We both need to hear a verbal confirmation." Jing turned his head and looked at his mate. Hul started to shake his head—he knew what was coming as much as he didn't want it. It was too much of a risk and he loved Jing far too much to put him in that position. "Xe'Hul, I want to have her no matter what. I love her because she is my baby and I want you to love her too." Jing whispered. I held back my own tears. These kinds of choices were life altering; I would be there for the both of them no matter how hard. "Please...Will you love her with me?" Hul looked at Jing and smiled. He gave Jing a nod and kissed him. They were going to have this baby because they wanted to be happy; they wanted to show her the world. But I knew that deep down this child would have a very hard life...Especially here, where females have never been seen before. * I flipped on the bedroom light and fell onto the bed. I heard an "Umph" and I rolled off to the side. I looked at where I had been and chuckled. Brandon was on his belly reading from a digital reader, but was looking fairly agitated that I had laid on him. I sat next to him and brushed his hair with my fingers. "How was the library with Steven?" I asked, changing the path and rubbing his cheek with my thumb. "It was fine," he sighed, turning the device off. "How was Jing? He was looking pretty...unhealthy." I sighed. He was bright and had a keen eye. I knew that he wouldn't miss a beat asking. But it wasn't my place to tell him anything. "He's fine, but he certainly is having a child," I said as I brought Brandon's face closer to my own. I kissed the tip of his nose. "Are you willing to play tonight?" Brandon's eyes could not widen even further even if he tried. "Yes," he whispered. "Good," I smiled. "Go get ready." ~Brandon~ I jumped off the bed and ran to the bathroom and prepared myself. I took off all my clothes and even took it upon myself to stretch a little. I was excited. I wanted him so badly. Everything about him screamed dominance and sex. I was honestly surprised that no one else wanted him. I walked into the bedroom and gasped. He had ropes hanging from the headboard of the bed, he stood in the middle of the room with leather pants on and a long bar with cuffs connected to the ends. My cock jumped a little. I knew what the bar was for. It was a leg-spacer. I lowered my head and looked at his bare feet. "What are you doing?" I stopped breathing for a second. "Answer me boy," he ordered. "I am showing my respect for you." It was the first thing I could think of. It wasn't a lie, I really do respect him. But I was nervous primarily. "On your knees then." I fell to my knees and put my wrists behind my back, with my head still lowered. I spread my ankles apart, far enough for the bar, and waited for him. "Tell me, boy, are you excited?" I felt his hand caress my cheek. I shivered. "Yes sir," I said. "I can see that," he chuckled. He used the end of the bar and touched my hard cock. I gasped and moved with the bar. Just the little bit of contact was enough to make me moan. "Tell me what you want." "I want you're cock..." I whispered. "Hm? I couldn't hear you. Look me in the eyes and say it louder." I could hear the smile in his voice. He was enjoying this. I was embarrassed. It was hard enough for me to sit on the ground and to tell him what I wanted, but to tell me to do that and more? That was just like him. I slowly lifted my head and looked into his beautiful clear eyes. He was smirking, waiting for my response. "I want you're cock...Sir," I smiled. "Then take it out yourself." I moved my hands from where they rested and he slapped my hands away from his zipper. "Use your teeth." "Yes sir," I said. The metallic taste of the zipper didn't leave until I had his cock in my mouth. * (Hey guys! Long time no update! I know it's a tad short but I figured something was better than nothing! Don't forget to comment, I love to hear what ya'll think!!) Xolt 2 Ch. 07 * Jing had tears in his eyes and his face was twisted with pain.

The metallic taste of the zipper didn't leave until I had his cock in my mouth. * I was sore the next morning. It was surprisingly odd how much muscles could stretch when one was sitting in one position for countless minutes. He used the bar all night, and he restrained my arms. It was amazing; he was so into it... It was as if I was the only thing that mattered. It was rough, sexy, fun...I wanted more and yet I didn't. By the end of the night I was so sensitive that just blowing on my penis was too much. I woke up in his arms. We were both naked; he had his arms wrapped protectively around my waist. It was perfect. It made me happy. It made me feel safe and happy. I turned my body so that I could watch him sleep. He was handsome; his course green hair lay sporadically on his pale face. His eyes seemed to flutter in his sleep, like he was having a bad dream...or a too good of a dream. His cock seemed to grow in his sleep and it was safely nestled between my thighs. I snuggled closer to his warm body. I was investigating his scales when I felt him kissing me. "Do they bother you?" I looked at him and smiled before I went back and started to trace them. They were interesting and appeared to be more snake like than lizard. Each scale appeared to be octagonal in shape, and if he moved a muscle they would change shades ever-so-slightly. I was so used to them by now that they didn't even seem to dramatically different from my skin. I drew characters like him before so I wasn't scared any longer. I was growing feelings for him that I had never experienced before and while it scared me it also gave me happiness. "No, they're interesting," I said and then kissed his arm. "They're soft too." I felt his arm tighten around my body. I inhaled a deep breath of his scent. I kissed his forearm. I heard a growl and I was pulled onto his chest. He looked at me with hungry green eyes. "You don't know what you do to me, do you?" He growled. His eye narrowed as he stared at me. I started to slowly grind my hips onto his. My penis started to grow harder against our bodies. His was already between my legs brushing against my ass. I let a small, soft moan escape my lips. "I..." His fingers were suddenly at my entrance, they were already wet with lubricant. They slid inside me easily. They pumped in and out, and then he curved one finger and grazed my prostate. I ground harder against him and whimpered louder. He was thrusting his cock between my legs as he pushed his fingers inside me. "Tell me, boy. I want to know," he ordered. I so badly wanted to answer but it was hard to think clearly in a moment like this. I just wanted to spill my heart out for him but that could end up...poorly. Instead I just thrust against him even harder. My breath was very loud as I tried to gain pleasure against him. He lifted me so that there was very little body contact and he growled at me. He gave me a look of pure dominance. Like he was my master and I was his slave; like I must answer him, right away. "Don't avoid me, boy. I told you to tell me." His voice was deeper. I shivered–his voice on a normal day made me horny. The lower his voice got the harder I got. I made thrusting movements in the air. I wanted the contact. I *needed* the contact. "P-please, sir, I-I want you," I moaned. "Not until you tell me." I groaned. I was dying I needed him that much. I was becoming delirious. I wanted him so much. I was dripping pre-cum onto his stomach. I no longer cared what I said...or what the reaction would be. I just needed him inside me and fast. "I-I...I love you..." I moaned into my hand. I wanted him, so badly. "Please, sir...I need you." I shut my eyes and squeezed them tight. I was afraid of what he would say. He would probably hate me for what I said. Was it normal for guys to say I love you to other guys? "Good boy," he whispered. Suddenly warm flesh invaded me and started to thrust. His thrusts were steady and fast. My moans got louder. The louder I got the harder he thrust. "Ride me, boy." I sat on his cock and started to impale myself on it as fast and as hard as I could. When neither of us could take anymore I was flipped onto my back and Zhi took charge again. I could hear the sounds of sex almost as clearly as the sound of my breathing. It was amazing, one of the most astounding moments of my life and I wanted him to stay inside me. He was getting close. I could tell because it felt almost as if he was swelling inside me. His breathing was getting sharper and his movements were choppy. His tail was swishing behind him. He was murmuring things that I couldn't understand. This was different from the sex we had last night. This was something different. Not bad, but different. A drip of his sweat landed on my cheek. He bent down and licked it off. I moaned, loudly, begging that he kissed me. Once he did there was no stopping what happened. His tongue wrestled with my own and as he played with me he came. I felt the gush of his semen flood my body. I felt the liquid fill my body until it could no longer stay inside me, and leaked out. That triggered my own orgasm. I screamed into his mouth and I came onto my stomach. Zhi was still thrusting into while I screamed his named. It wasn't until after the deed was done did I realize that he came inside me. ~Xe'Zhi~ Fuck... It was the only thing that ran in my head. Not only was I supposed to be his responsible dominate, but I was supposed to be the level headed doctor. What the hell possessed me to cum inside his body? I knew better than that! And yet my instincts got the better of me. My instincts...Fuck. "Shit," I whispered. I didn't normally like to use foul language but in this case it was all I could do to not. "I'm sorry." It was a pathetic excuse for an apology. I just ruined my trust with him. Sure it was the most amazing moment in my life but losing him wasn't worth it. I was a fucking idiot, honestly. With all the drama of Jing and my brother and then finally having Brandon in my arms...I failed to realize that it was close to mating season. If I can take care of my boy, how am I supposed to take care of the crew on this ship? I pulled out of his wet body and gave an internal groan. He was so slick... As I pulled out I could see my semen trickle out of his body. It was white with a light blue sheen. I wanted to lick him clean but that was realistic. Not now. As I pulled out of his body my semen was working to change his body. That was his biggest limit and I crossed the line. I looked at Brandon's face, waiting to hear screams of anguish. But that never happened. Instead, his face was in a painful mixture of happiness and sadness. While there was a smile on his face, tears were streaming down his cheeks. "Brandon—" I began. He just shook his head. He moved his arms to cover his face as he silently cried shaking his head. My heart broke knowing I did that to him. That I broke him. It was my fault, I should have been better than that. But... * All I could do was leave. He didn't want me in the room that much was made apparent when he turned to his side away from me. He didn't say a word. As I left the apartment I turned to him and apologized and told him that I loved him. But I never got a peep. I went to work and slouched in my chair. Nothing would ever be the same now. "What happened to you?" I didn't bother looking to see who was in my office. Trygg never cared to knock and never will. He wasn't that type of person. He was carefree. I used to think like that but it was my carefree nature that caused me to change. "Why do you care?" I sneered. I was acting like a child, and I knew it but I was so emotionally drained that I no longer gave a damn. "Seriously, Zhi, you never act like this. You haven't acted like this since we were kids and I got a better mark than you in science," He chuckled. He was trying to make me feel better. He was doing a poor job at it. All he did was confirm that I was acting like a child. "Xe'Trygg, I'm warning you. You better go," I growled. I was in no mood for his crap. I was done with people. I felt a tug at my collar and suddenly I was no longer in my seat, but rather lifted into the air. My brother was holding me up by the collar of my shirt. He growled in my face and hissed at me. It was a trait we rarely used unless we were preparing for a fight. A hiss meant that we were ready to hurt. "Xe'Zhi, you better fucking tell me what's going on. I know you better than you fucking think. I can tell you're depressed so tell me why. Don't make me force it out of you, brother. Because I fucking will." His eyes shone with anger. It was something I recall from years ago. As children we used to fight all the time to the point where we couldn't even stand to be in the same room. Looking back on it...It was one of the worst parts of my past. One that I regret deeply. "It has nothing to do with you," I said. I felt the punch before I recognized what it was. My left cheek was stinging. It hurt. It hurt a lot. I knew that just from the sting that my cheek was bruised and tomorrow it would be purple. I know that if he punched me again a bone could fracture. "Listen, you know that starting a fight now would be a bad thing. Everyone on the ship, short of *our* mates, are in mating season. Would it be smart of us to kill each other because of that?" He pulled my hair and growled at me. "If we fight, what sort of example will we be to our fighting mates?" Xolt 2 Ch. 07 *** It was a long time ago. There wasn't a lot about that time I wanted to remember. But I remember the day I decided to change. It was a monumental day for everyone. I was a bad child. The worst kind really. Humans would call it 'middle child syndrome', and I agreed wholeheartedly that I had it. I hated my parents, and my brothers. I hated everything and everyone, and I didn't care who I hurt. I was 'carefree'. But to be honest I was scared of everything. I was scared that I would lose my parents, and both of my brothers. But that never stopped the fights. I had anger inside that surpassed my love for anyone. I felt out of control, and I hated that feeling more than anything else. I felt like maybe my anger would make me feel like I could have control of my ever speeding life. But it only made things worse for me. I never felt like I had control. I rarely fought with Xe'Hul—he was the only one I could go to what I felt like everything was too much. Like when it felt like the walls were closing in on me and I couldn't breathe...There were times when I hated him too, however. It deepened on my mood. I hated myself, too, for that. My moods were unreliable. It could have been the rapid changes that I was going through, but it was still enough to drive me away from anyone else. I was in my room, reading a book. It was a medical book. It was talking about medicines that no longer were allowed in the doctor's office due to specific laws that regarded the Xolt laws. It was only half-heartedly reading it. I had been in a fight with Xe'Trygg. It was a bloody one, but at this point in time he was better than me and stronger than me. I was the one who got hurt the most. But then again, I was the one who started the fight in the first place. I heard my parents and Hul talking about me in the common room. Thankfully my parents never treated my brothers and me differently. We were all treated as equals and Trygg and I got the same punishment. They respected Hul a little more only because he was older and more mature than us. He was also better at hiding his feelings and could think logically. "I don't think you actually understand how he feels," Hul said. I could imagine his face. He looked worried in my mind, concerned for my well being. I cracked a small smile because I knew that he was defending me. "It's a feeling that I went through, and it's a feeling that Xe'Trygg will go through. It's a scary time." "I don't understand," My mother said. I could see her gray hair tried neatly on the top of her head. "Father should understand. As young Xolts we go through physical and mental changes that help us become the adults that our society needs. But sometimes it gets hard for us to breathe. Zhi is having that issue." He paused for a minute. "His changes are too fast. He's having a hard time controlling his emotions. It's not his fault, but he can change. He can learn to control himself." My father never spoke once. I think it was because he knew what Hul was saying and couldn't find a way to persuade anyone different. I knew that because of Hul I was given a second chance, and if I blew it life for me would be completely different from what it is now. I knew that just from hearing the conversation that I needed to change. The more I thought about it the more I wanted to change and the more I needed to change. I put my book aside and looked at myself in the mirror. At this point in my life my hair was long, almost waist length. I was proud of my hair, but I needed change more than I needed my hair. If I was going to change I was going to change everything about myself. It seemed like a silly statement to my family when I walked into the room the next day with my hair cut to my shoulders, but it made sense to me. I hadn't let my hair grow since. It took me a long time to change, to learn how to control myself. But it was still hard for me. Even as a full grown Xolt I still feel lost. Scared. Like the walls are crashing around me like they did when I was young. But it makes me want to control the world around me even more. I strive to control my surroundings. It was part of the reason I became a doctor. I thought I had control. But I lost it and now the person who was most important to me can't trust me anymore. And I did that. *** "So, what you're trying to tell me is that I punched you for something you did to you mate?" Xe'Trygg asked. I had told him what had happened this morning. He seemed interested and yet confused at the same time. "No, you punched me because I was an ass," I huffed. My patients were running low. "But I was an ass because I lost control over myself while mating with Brandon. I promised that I wouldn't cum inside him, and I did just that." "Well, honestly I can't blame you. It's mating season." Trygg said, sitting on my desk. I looked up at him. Yes, I had forgotten to tell my mate about the mating season. I just didn't realize that we were that close. "It's hard to control yourself when all you want to do is fuck." "You don't understand," I said, "He gave me the dirtiest look ever. Like I betrayed his trust for the rest of my life. I am never going to get him back now." I let my head fall into my hands and I sighed. I was in so much pain I felt like crying. The pain was too much. "Look," Trygg said, "This is nothing to cry over. We'll just find some way to explain this to Brandon and everything will be alright. Did he show signs of changing when you left?" I sat up and rub the tears off my face. My younger brother was right, now was not the time for crying. Perhaps there was a way that I could reverse the change? But there was only one issue with that. "He won't talk to me." "What do you mean?" "He won't even look me in the eye. I tried." "I never said it was going to be you. He's pissed at you," Trygg smiled, "Oh no, you aren't going to talk to him." (Hey Guys! Long time no chapter! Hope this makes Ya'll happy :) ~~Tae) Xolt 2 Ch. 08 ~Brandon~ I didn't know how to react. Honestly I felt a little bit of everything thing, but my strongest emotions were that of anger and fear. He promised that he wouldn't do that until I was ready and he broke that promise to me and that pissed me off the most. But I was also scared because I wasn't sure what would happen to me next. He tried to talk to me but I was walking on a thin edge. It was either me crying until I was blind or screaming until it hurt too much. Both were ready to happen at the same time. I stayed quiet. I didn't look at him and I didn't think. I wanted to be by myself, away from him as far as possible. I wasn't ready to be a father. Hell I wasn't sure I was ready to be married, or anything close to being married and I was so deeply in love with Zhi that it was almost as if we were married. It was hard because a small part of me was happy that he came in me. We had a special connection that I never thought that I would get with another person ever. And I found that with him. And a part of me wanted to be a father. But I knew that I wasn't mentally ready for it, as much as it seemed like such a good idea. I knew I was being a brat, I should have listened to what he had to say, but I was not ready to hear it. It shouldn't have even happened in the first place. Once Xe'Zhi left for work I sat on the bed looking around. At the bed—at the mess we made together—and I looked at my belly. The belly that would hold life. I was afraid to look in the mirror, because I didn't want to see what changed. I didn't eat; I didn't even get off the bed as much as I wanted to. I felt safe on the bed, surprisingly. Sometime during the day there was a buzz at the door. I could have gotten up to answer it, but I didn't want to talk to anyone. So I let it buzz. That didn't last long because I heard the sound of the airlock releasing and in came two very unhappy people—Jing and Steven. I jumped from my spot and started to protest. "How the hell did you get in? You don't have the password!" "Fucking ASSHOLE!" I looked at my very pregnant brother and matching Jing. Both looked like they were ready to kill a man. I was secretly praying that it wasn't me. "What...?" I asked, sinking into my bed. "I think your brother is referring to your mate. However in this case I agree, your mate is a fucking asshole," Jing sniffed. He sat on the bed and laid down as he rubbed his belly. He looked irked but not overly pissed, not like my brother. "How did you—" I started, but of course I wasn't allowed to say anything. "Xe'Trygg told me," Steven said. He was pacing the floor and holding his belly. I was pretty sure that being this pissed off and pregnant wasn't a good idea. "So then I guess Zhi told him." "Actually Trygg beat it out of him," Steven grinned. "Literally too. Zhi was moping around acting like a baby and wouldn't tell Trygg why. So Trygg punched him. It worked but now I'm pissed." "I have to agree," Jing said. "Honestly if he made a promise not to cum inside you he shouldn't have. But I can also understand where he is coming from. It is mating season." Steven and I gave the cat the same look, one of shock. I knew all about the Xolt culture but I didn't know when mating season was. And by the way Steven looked at him, he had forgotten as well. "It's hard for them to stop because the whole point of mating season is to get their mate pregnant. However, Steven and I both know mating season isn't necessary to get pregnant but it helps with the drive." Jing paused and closed his eyes for a moment. He looked like he was in pain. "Do you want something to drink?" I asked standing up. "Only if you get some clothes on," Jing smiled. I had forgotten that I was naked. I blushed and ran to the closet to get something to wear and raced to the bathroom. While standing in the shower, before I even turned it on I felt something wet slid down my legs. It was cold and warm at the same time. I reached behind myself and scooped some up. His cum was sliding down and out of me. I sighed and turned the water on. Just proof that he didn't respect my wishes. I walked out of the bathroom once I was dressed and ready to get my friends something to drink. My stomach growled and I decided to get some food as well. * "Can I ask a personal question, Brandon?" I smiled and said sure as I gave Jing his water. I then gave Steven his milk and sat down with coffee and a bagel for myself. "I guess, go right ahead." I took a bite of my food and washed it down with my strong drink. "When you took a shower how much sperm slipped out?" I coughed on my food. "Um..." "It's fairly important," Steven said. Jing nodded in approval. They sat calmly at the table as I stared at them. It was a very personal question and I wasn't sure how to respond. "Honestly?" I asked, looking at my brother. "Honestly. It's good to know," Steven sighed. "I think that all of it slipped out..." I was blushing deep red. I could see my cheeks turn crimson out of the corner of my eyes. I wanted to crawl into a deep hole and never come out. I never thought I would be talking about sex to my older brother and a cat-like alien. But it happened. "Interesting," Jing said. "That wouldn't have happened if you were pregnant. Your body would have absorbed his DNA and created a womb." "And what does that mean?" I asked. "It means you aren't pregnant." *** "Thanks for letting me in, Brandon," Xe'Trygg said. He gave me a calming smile and patted my right shoulder. "Now, your mate it outside pacing, however your doctor is out there wondering what is going on. Now, while I may know a lot I am not a doctor. Can I let him asses you?" I sat at the couch and crossed my arms. I was still pissed at Zhi for pushing my limit. It wasn't fair of him and I had the right to be pissed. However, they were right. None of them were doctors, no matter how much they knew. "But..." I started. I did miss him as much as I was pissed. "He promised to remain professional if he was allowed to asses you. He would stay as the ship's doctor and nothing more. If you are still mad at him later, you can stay with me. But I would like it if you were assessed by a professional first." Jing said. I looked at the man and sighed. He looked like he was ill. I could see what Steven meant when he said that Jing looked like he was extremely ill. His normally bouncy fur was flat and lacked the shine it had before. It worried me, but if he managed to pull of twins before this child should be fine. "..." I looked at my brother. He smiled at me, and for the first time since I was small I felt like he had my back. Like, instead of me against him we were actually working together. "Fine, you can let him in." He could assess me all he wanted. Didn't mean that I would play nicely. ~Xe-Zhi~ When Trygg let me into my home I gave a deep sigh of relief. However I was not allowed to act like a mate. I was informed by my brother and his mate that I was supposed to act like a doctor and that was all. Brandon was still angry with me, and understandably so. I walked into my living room to see Brandon sitting with his arms crossed. He refused to look me in the eye and straightened his back. A sign of defiance. "Tell me, Brandon, how much sperm left your body as you showered?" I asked as I pulled out my note pad. "All of it," he huffed. I hadn't thought that talking to me was such a big deal, but it apparently was. "I see," I said, entered the three words into the device. Internally I was going mad. I just wanted to hug my mate and tell him that everything was going to be fine. But that was not professional of me. I was determined to earn his trust back. "After your encounter with your mate did you feel any different? For example any pain or change of features?" "No." "I see..." I wrote that into the pad as well. He wasn't acting very mature about this. However it was understandable. I was also acting immature as well not too long ago. "Brandon do you mind coming with me? I would like to check the inside of your body just to see if anything has change inside of you without showing any external signs." I stood up and looked at Trygg. He shrugged at me and sighed. There wasn't much that he could do. "Where are we going?" Brandon asked, looking lightly uneasy. "To my clinic—all of my equipment is there." "Can Steven and Jing come with me?" he asked looking at the older companions. I smiled. There was no reason they couldn't go with him, and since he gave the permission and allowing it I had no problem this time. "Sure," I said as reassuringly as I could. He needed someone there to hold him once he got the news. * The scanner beeped calling all of our attention to the device in my hand. I had it over Brandon's abdomen. Everything seemed fine and there was no sign of a fetus. Thankfully this was good news to Brandon and sadly me as well. "Well, the scans show no sign of a fetus. You were lucky this time Brandon," I said reading the scan reports and filing them under his name. "Really?" He sighed and hugged his brother and held Jing's hand. I looked at Jing's body. He was almost ready to give birth already. His eyes and cheeks looked shallow, and overall he was skinnier. I was worried for his health more than I was of his baby's health. "I would not lie to you, Brandon," I said. A hand was tapping my shoulder and I turned to see Hul standing behind me. "Shouldn't you be at work?" I asked. "I called Trygg to take over for me." He looked at the three mates and sighed. "How are they? I heard about the fiasco today. Jing kept me informed." The connection that these three had was very strong. I was happy that they found each other, because if their mates can't be there for them, they can surely help each other. But my worry for Jing grew, because I wasn't sure how his female child would affect him and Xe'Hul. "I think they will be fine. Brandon is not pregnant and seems quite relieved. However, we need you and Jing back later for another examination." I turned and looked at my elder brother. I could see the worry in his eyes while he looked at his mate. I knew that he wanted Jing to be happy and healthy more than anything else in the world. The only problem was I wasn't sure that Jing could be happy or healthy because of this child. It was either one or the other, but Jing wanted both. "I know..." * By the time everything settled it was time for dinner. Brandon and I walked back to our home, but with very little talk. Our problem was solved but the fight was not. I wanted to hold his hand and hug him. I wanted to tell him how much that I loved him. But it almost seemed impossible now. Once we walked into our quarters he ran to the bed and hid his face in the pillows. I sat gently next to him and placed my hand on his arm. The contrast between our skin was astonishing and I couldn't help but wonder what our children would have looked like. "Brandon, I am sorry." I sighed. "This may not seem like much to you but I feel horrible about what I did. I betrayed your trust for a moment of bliss. Your hate hurts more than anything I have ever gone through. Please forgive me, my love." He shuffled under my touch and mumbled something I couldn't understand. "What was that?" I asked. When I didn't get a response I stood up and started for the kitchen. I was going to prepare our meal, and I would bring it to him if he didn't get up. Just before I left the blankets shuffled and a pillow was thrown at my head. "Don't you dare leave me!" I turned and looked at the human, my mate...The love of my life. His eyes were red. His black hair was ruffled. He needed to shower and clean himself up a bit. But he was still the sexiest being to me. "Pardon?" "I said I love you and you never said anything back..." He mumbled. This time I was able to hear him and I smiled. "I love you too." I walked into the kitchen and started to tap into the cooking device. I felt a pair of slim arms wrap themselves around my waist. "I forgive you." There was silence. "But don't you ever do that again." I smiled to myself and looked at my fierce mate. I picked him up and kissed him. It felt almost as if a small explosion was light inside me. I was instantly horny. However our celebration was cut short by the beeping of my communication device. I kissed Brandon's head and checked to see who it was. "Zhi, something is wrong with Jing." My heart sank. (*gasps loudly* OH NO WHAT'S HAPPENING?! Hey Guys, welcome to Chapter 8. How are things going? Do you like the story? Tell me you think might happen. I can tell you it's gunna get interesting ;)Thanks for reading! Let me know what you think! ~~Tae) Xolt 2 Ch. 09 "Zhi, something is wrong with Jing." My heart sank. *** My body acted without thinking and I ordered Xe'Hul and Jing to the medical office. Brandon and I ran to meet them. We managed to arrive before them and prepared the office for an emergency examination. I had my nurse waiting at the front door for my brother and his mate. It wasn't long until I heard the screams of pain. It was too much for me. I knew what was going to happen and it wasn't good. I looked inside myself and turned my emotions off. I didn't do it often but at times like these getting emotional was a problem. "Get him on the examination table now," I ordered. Brandon raced to Jing and tried to help support his head while Hul carried him. He was screaming so loudly I could almost hear his vocal cords tear. "Doctor! He's bleeding!" I raced to my brother and helped lift his mate to the table. I ripped his shirt in half and threw the scraps to the side. He was bleeding from his navel. The blood was steadily streaming from the small indentation in his stomach. The blood was sickening. ~Brandon~ It wasn't normal blood. At least it wasn't human blood. The colour was so red that it almost appeared black. It was hard to fathom considering the paleness of his skin. It was sticky and it just flowed out of him. It didn't slow down and it looked like something was moving inside of him. I wanted to throw up. I liked horror movies, but this wasn't a movie. This was real life and it was about time that it hit me. I was a human in a spaceship in love with a real alien—a real Xolt. My brother was actually pregnant and Jing was in...In pain. I knew all of this all along but deep down I refused to believe it. The realization hit me like a wall. I ran to the other room and found a trash can. I threw up. Everything that I had in my stomach previously was gone, but that didn't stop me from throwing up again when I heard Jing's scream of anguish. It wasn't until someone pulled me by my collar and lifted me face to face. Xe'Trygg...Ryan...My old best friend. "Snap the fuck out!" I looked into his blue eyes and jumped. They were cold, even more so despite the usual cold blue colour. "What happened to the macho man from Earth? We need you here!" I gaged. "This is too much for me..." "This is too much for you?! MY BROTHER IS DYING IN THERE!" He yelled in my face. "And so is his baby. His husband, my brother and Captain, is at his end. My mate is trying to clean as much blood as he can, even though we are BOTH aware that he doesn't handle blood well. Your mate is trying to perform an emergency C-section. And what am I doing? I'm fucking lecturing you! THAT is too much for ME." "You weren't put into all of this so suddenly!" "BRANDON, I am NOT saying that I don't understand. What I am saying is get your ass in there and take care of you mate and your best friend. Because we don't know how much longer he's going to last." I stopped breathing. "He's dying?" Xe'Trygg dropped me to the ground. I fell with a thud. I looked up...I saw my friend wiping tears. It was the first time I ever saw him cry, in this form or the form of Ryan. All he could do was nod. I don't know what compelled me to do it but I ran into the room and took my shirt off. I threw it on the ground and wiped some of the blood off the ground. I picked up the bloodied shirt and threw in in the nearest trash can. Most of the blood was picked up because of my shirt and Steven glanced up at me. His face was green, and his eyes were red. He was doing his best not to break down. It was a face I remembered seeing often when we played horror movies. I felt like such a dick. He was kneeling on the ground with a child in his belly. I should have been there in his place instead. But as usual I was acting like my selfish dickish self. I was hurting others while trying to protect myself. Xe'Zhi and his nurse were doing their best to calm Xe'Hul down, but it was useless. I could tell that he was enraged, perhaps at his brother for not being able to prevent this. Or perhaps to Jing for letting this happen. But I think most of all he was angry at his baby for hurting his mate. He was throwing himself at the bed, trying to get Jing to breathe, to remain calm. But in the process wasn't calm himself. I had never seen him act that way before. He never lost his composure. This was an new Xe'Hul. I turned to see Xe'Trygg standing there, confused as to what he should do. I wasn't sure what to do either but I knew that something had to be done. "Trygg I want you over here, take your brother out for a moment. Let him get some air to his brain or it'll blow. I'll stay here and help take care of Jing." "Ar-are you sure?" "No, but do it anyways." Xe'Trygg had to pick Hul up and drag him to the clinic doors. I ran to where Hul had been standing beforehand. I picked Jing's pale while hand and gave it a squeeze. His face was so shallow and almost appeared gray in some spots. He had his eyes closed and he was biting his bottom lip. "I have you Jing. Xe'Hul just went out to get a breather. You're going to be okay." I whispered to him. I tried to sound as calm and collected as possible. It was hard to do because my voice wouldn't stop shaking. I closed my eyes and tears started to roll. "Good job, Brandon. Keep going things are starting to calm down. You're doing a good job." Zhi started to say. My breathing hitched because I knew that it wasn't becoming easier. Jing's grip on my hand was weakening. He was just dying faster. "Jing, I want you to breathe. You are doing a great job, just keep holding on." With each second he let go more. "Jing, don't give up on us. Not yet! I just started to get to know you! It's not fair! I love you Jing, you're like family to me. You've been more of a parent to me than my own mother was. JING DO NOT DIE ON ME!" I yelled. I felt him squeeze my hand ever so slightly. I looked down and Jing was smiling at the lights. It was like he couldn't see my face. "I can't see anymore," he whispered. "Brandon, I left letters in my desk at home. I want you to give it to everyone, but read yours first." He chuckled as tears fell from the corners of his eyes and traveled down the slope of his cheek. "I love you too." "Please, don't give up..." But it was too late. Or maybe it was inevitable. Either way, Jing's hand slipped from mine and fell to the table that he lay upon. The life support started to go wild; the nurse started yelling telling my mate that Jing was dead. They tried to perform CPR, but nothing was working. I walked away from Jing's corpse and sat on the floor next to my brother in a puddle of Jing's blood. I held my brothers hand with the hand that held Jing's. And we cried. And soon, cries that overpowered ours entered the room. If you could hear a soul scream, Xe'Hul's cry would be it. Then, as if on cue the room went silent except for the cries of a new born baby. The first baby girl to ever touch the Xolt race. *** "The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our separate ways, I to die, and you to live. Which of these two is better only God knows." ― Socrates *** The child needed to stay on life support because of the abnormality of her birth. However she too was close to death that night. Xe'Zhi was at work almost every night for three weeks watching over her, almost like a father would. Whereas her biological father was too busying trying to set course for a trip to Jing's home world—Arcaina. Xe'Hul didn't meet his daughter. As soon as the baby was conceived he was ready to die. He kept screaming that he kept his promise, his promise to keep the baby alive, but he was ready to die by his mates' side. We stopped him though. We knew that Jing wouldn't want that. We knew that he would want Xe'Hul to take care of his baby. But it didn't work. He wanted nothing to do with the child. And the more we begged him to take care of her the more he hated us too. So, she stayed in the clinic. After three weeks Steven had his baby; a happy healthy male with his father's cold blue eyes and silver skin with a stub of a tail, but my brothers shining blond hair, human nose and mouth. I thought that it was time to get Jing's letters. I asked for the code to get into their apartment. Trygg was reluctant to give it to me, but did it anyways. I would never do anything to hurt Jing, even after death. I loved him far too much to hurt someone that I considered family. The apartment was dark and dusty. It seemed like Xe'Hul hadn't been there in ages. Looking at the home made me cry. I could see Jing sitting on the floor with his other babies, feeding them and playing with them. Once Jing died Xe'Hul hired Steven to babysit them. When Steven went into labour I took care of them. However, Hul still took care of his boys. I wiped my tears and looked around the family room. There was a wood chair painted gold and a white desk. I knew that it had to be his. I pulled the drawer open and found letters addressed to everyone. Mine was on the very top, written in English, or at least the very best English that he could write. Even though it wasn't perfect I understood. And it hurt me so much while at the same time it made me soar. And it hurt me because it made me soar. "Brandon, During my last pregnancy I almost died. One time in my life I felt dead all the time. I know the feeling well. But it was Xe'Hul who brought me back from death. And he did it again after I gave birth to my twins. But this time, when I give birth this time, I will not live. My baby is strong, and I have a feeling she will always be strong. Xe'Hul does not know this. He will be shocked at my death. It will take him much time to get over the grief. Brandon, I want you to know that there is a large possibility that you may never have a child. I recognize the signs and you are showing them. It is nearly impossible to not get impregnated by the Xolts. But my gift to you is the gift of birth. With this letter are the papers to register you as the Gods Father of Yaelis, my baby girl. If Hul is not capable of taking care of her, please...do it in place of me. Thank you, Brandon. I have much love and care for you. With all my love, ~Jing" Before I even realized it, I was a parent. * ~3 Years later~ "Brandon, I don't think you understand. My co-worker said that she bit another student. Could you please teach her that it isn't okay?" Steven was drinking water at my table after work. He looked tired from working all day, which was something that I could understand. I ended up being a stay at home father...Kind of. I took care of Yaelis and her brothers almost as if I was their parent. The boys saw their father weekly. Yaelis rarely saw him, but she was only three so it was okay, for now. She was going to grow up and realize that she was different from everyone else. And she would want to ask her father, not me or Zhi, but Hul. When that day came I knew I would have a difficult time living with myself, because there would be nothing I could do to help her. And Honestly I wasn't sure I wanted to. I spent three years with her and I already considered her my daughter. Kind of... "I told you that I would, so I will, but I am not doing it right now in front of you." I took a swig of my coffee and put the mug down. He nodded and drank the water I had given him. His son was three as well and at the same daycare as Yaelis. However he did not seem to have the same personality as other toddlers. He was different like Yaelis. We had to move since getting three children suddenly thrown into our midst. I say it like it's a bad thing but it really wasn't. I enjoyed having Den'il and Junn'sou around. They were great and smart kids. And Yaelis was bright even as a baby. I can't say that I was the best parent. But I know I wasn't a bad one. Every now and then Yaelis will do something that reminds me of Jing. Sometimes it makes me sad and other times it just makes me smile because I know he would. Jing would have loved to have known that his daughter was just like him. Each day she grew she looked so much more like him. Her eyes were amber. Her hair was white and her tail was fluffy. But her skin was silver scales. She looked every bit like Jing, and maybe less of Xe'Hul. But you could tell that she was their baby. And I loved her as much as I loved my mate and my brothers. Xe'Zhi loved her, and having her and her brothers with us seemed to make everything better in our lives. We grew more committed to each other, and we grew more patients. We still argued and fought, but any couple would do that. The only difference was that we fix our problems quickly and made up passionately. And our Dominate and submissive lifestyle didn't suffer as much as I thought it would. We *did* have to be careful of what we did and when we did it. And Steven loved Yaelis too. He wanted a second child but couldn't have one. Human males weren't meant to have children in the first place. But humans didn't seem very compatible with the Xolt species biologically. It was hard on him. He had a miscarriage when he tried for a second. When that didn't work he tried once more. There were no signs of him being pregnant—just like me. I never asked what was in everyone's letter and they never asked me. I was fine without know because it meant that Jing gave us a little bit of him. And it was ours to keep for ourselves. It was his last gift to us. I cherished mine. I knew the rest of my family did as well. **** "Xe'Zhi, You have taken me into your life and treated me as if I were truly part of the family. I will forever be grateful to you for that. You have never once treated me poorly and you always knew how to talk to me. I love you and wish you the best in where ever life takes you. And I sincerely hope life takes you with Brandon. I hope that you have found my love and kindness to you beneficial. I know that you have been a wonderful addition to my life. I am glad you found him. He's your soul mate and I could tell from the very moment that I met him. With this letter I have papers that say that you and Brandon are the Gods parents of Yaelis. I know that I won't survive the birthing process. I was prepared the moment you told me there was a slight chance it could happen. I didn't care. I wanted her born into this world and I was even more confident that things would be better because of our family connection. Xe'Hul will be angry for a very long time. Not just at Yaelis, but me too. I broke his heart when I promised him I wouldn't. If Yaelis survives without any malice from him it means that he has kept his promise. You probably don't understand, and that's fine. Just know that I trust you and Brandon to raise her in the best way possible. You two can do it. I know it. I love you. ~Jing" * "Steven, The beginning of your life on this ship was hard. I know and I can sympathize with you. It was hard for me as well. I am happy you found a friend in me, because that way we were able to adjust to a new life together. I am also happy that I was able to be a parent alongside you. It means a great deal to me. I want to apologize to you. I know you told me that you wanted to have a second child. I fear that may never happen considering your brothers inability to even have a first. I feel like perhaps you were lucky in having one. Good luck, with everything in your life. Thank you for being in mine. With love and care, ~Jing" * "Xe'Trygg, When you first told me that you were bringing Steven here I was shocked. I wasn't sure how it would work and how things would play out. But I am happy that you gained his trust. It took a while, but you made it and together I know you will have a happy and healthy child. Please take care of your mate, no matter what happens promise that you will always take the very best care that you can. Life isn't perfect so you need to be supportive to him, just as he his supportive to you. Take care of the children in your life, and do it with as much enthusiasm as I would. Do it because I can't. Promise me that you will do your best living the best life you possibly can. Every mistake you make leads to an experience that you can take with you forever. Teach what you learn to you child, and to mine. Show them what true love is. Brandon, Steven, and your brother will do their best but it won't work unless you all do your best. You are my brother, Trygg. I know my death will hurt everyone, but it will hurt you a lot as well. I want you to know how much I love you. And I do. ~Jing" * "Xe'Hul, Forgive me. I know it hurts you and I do apologize. I want you to know that the love I feel for you is stronger than anything else I have ever had. You are my reason for breathing. For eating and moving. You are my reason for seeing the goodness in everyone. The reason I look at the world half full and not empty. You are the reason why I can smile each day. You are the reason why my scars don't hurt—because you taught me to stop picking at them. You fixed me when I was broken, and did daily check-ups to keep me happy and healthy. You made me see the light when all I could see was the darkness. You taught me how to love when I had forgotten what the feeling was like. I love you more than I loved being able to see. I loved you more than the food I ate each day. And I will always love you. My heart bursts with love each day I see you, and each night when my last thought is of you. Yaelis is our daughter. She is the first of her kind, and she won't be the last. I wanted her to live, to give her a chance to do what I could never do. I wanted there to be proof of how much we loved each other. I know my death will come to you as a shock. And it will hurt everyone, but it will hurt you the most. And I know that and it hurts me so much to think of that. Even now, as I write this, our baby is kicking in my stomach reminding me of what's to happen. I cry tears of mixed emotions—happiness for having her, sadness for leaving you, and anger for not being able to stay longer. Please know that I never wanted to hurt you. Not after all that has happened to us. Please promise me that when the day comes, when you can finally forgive me, you will go see our daughter and tell her everything. About how we met, and why we fell in love. About what you taught me and what I taught you. I want you to tell her our story. About our life. I want you to be able to tell her that you love her daddy as much as you love her and her brothers. It'll be hard. I know it won't be for a while yet. But promise me when that day comes you will do it with so much love in your heart it BURSTS with happiness and love. I love you, Hul. More than you could ever fathom. I will see you later, With love, from your mate, ~Jing" * "Yaelis, Den'il and Junn'sou, Daddy loves you all very much. Promise Daddy you will live the best life you can with no regrets. Daddy hid himself once, and he was sad for a very long time. But then your Father met me and made me see the light in a different way. Be Strong. Be Happy. Be Brave. Daddy loves you very much.
