TJ's Journey to Parenthood - 12. Chapter 12

Jackson and I both glanced at each other as I paused reading.

“What do you think he did?” Jackson asked

“I am not sure; what could be worse than him making him impotent.” I said

“Well I could think of a few things but you should try to go find Tristan.” Jackson said as the door to the nursery flew open hitting the wall

“Where is he” Kevin seethed

“I haven’t seen him since dinner; what’s wrong” I asked

“He’s dead meat” Kevin said and dropped his pants and underwear.

“Oh shit” Jackson gasped

“Wow, I didn’t know he could do that” I said starring at Kevin

“Yeah look at me; I have no penis” Kevin said shaking

“Well I can see that and what’s interesting is he didn’t give you a vagina” I said

“No shit; he’s grounded until he’s dead” Kevin fumed

“Kevin, I would take a level headed approach. It appears you cannot win with him” Jackson said

“He is going to fix this or else” Kevin said

“Let me talk to him or see if I can fix it” I replied

“Fine” Kevin replied angrily and stormed out

“I’ve never seen anyone without a penis” Jackson said laughing

“I think you mean without anything; you’ve seen a vagina before” I said with a smirk

“I guess you’re right about that; you need to find Tristan” Jackson said

“I have a feeling I know where he is; please continue the story with the kiddos” I said and vanished

I reappeared near the lake house in Deep Creek and walked down to the lake. I saw someone sitting on the deck chair starring out at the lake and walked down there.

“Tristan?” I said as I approached

“Yeah brudder it’s me” Tristan replied sadly

“Mind if I sit?” I asked

“It’s your spot” Tristan replied

“Little man, talk to me; what is going on?” I questioned

“Daddy doesn’t like me” Tristan said sadly

“What that’s not true” I said

“I overheard him and daddy talking one night about how he had me created to be you as he felt he messed up and when you returned he realized he should have.” Tristan said tears falling

“Oh my; that’s an awful thing to hear” I said pulling him out of the chair and onto my lap

“He told daddy that he was right about jumping to conclusion about you being dead and that they got caught up in being kidnapped and weren’t thinking.” Tristan said

“I love you no matter what little man. You’ve wormed your way into everyone’s hearts. Jackson and I love you like you were our own” I said and Tristan started to cry harder and I wrapped my arms around him and held him.

“What am I going to do brudder?” Tristan said

“I have an idea but I need to talk with Jackson and Mack first” I said

“Why Mack?” Tristan asked

“His father or mother worked for the fertility lab and they may be able to tell how we are connected.” I said

“I can tell you that… I am a clone of your DNA; that is why we look similar” Tristan said

“What? That is crazy” I said

“Daddy wanted a new version of you and wanted to make sure that it would be you and not someone else. They had access to your mom’s embryo’s and dad’s sperm and offered to make a new one but they couldn’t guarantee it would be you.” Tristan said

“How do you know all this?” I questioned

“There are things I know that I shouldn’t” Tristan responded

“How can you be burden with so much info?” I said

“It sucks brudder” Tristan replied

“I agree with you there. You know I miss coming here to the lake; it was my favorite spot” I said

“I know and I knew you’d come here for me” Tristan said

“I have so many great memories here with my dad” I said and tear fell

“Don’t cry T2, you make your daddy proud every day.” Tristan said

“Thanks buddy, you would have loved him; he was a great guy” I said

“I know he loved you and your brothers more than anything” Tristan said

“I’m going to talk with your dad; you can stay with me and Jackson for a bit” I said and hugged him

“I want to stay with you forever” Tristan said

“We will work this out; I promise” I said

“I hope so brudder” Tristan replied

We both teleported back to the house and into my room and found Jackson sitting in the chair reading

“Jackson, could you tuck Tristan in; I’m going to talk with Kevin and Jeff” I said

“Sure; I am reading one of your Grandpa’s stories and the funny thing is it sounds a lot like my dad and pop and all their friends” Jackson said

“What story?” I asked

“Dancing on a Star” Jackson replied

“I’ve read it too and now that you mention it does sound like them but he never uses real names. Wonder if it is a coincidence” I say

“Heck of a coincidence; don’t you think?” Jackson asked

“Yeah but my dad didn’t know yours in school I think” I replied

“Maybe so, but I am going to ask him. So Tristan, are we going to your room?” Jackson asked and Tristan looked at me

“Could you set him up a bed with the kiddos? He needs to be away from the others for the time being” I said

“Oh no problem; the babies get their first sleep over and they aren’t even old enough to know” Jackson said

“Trust me Ja-wack-sin they know I’m coming and they excited” Tristan said

“Try to keep it to a low roar” I said smirking

“No promises” Tristan replied smirking as well

I left him and Jackson and went in search of Kevin and Jeff. I found them in their room and they appeared to be in some heated discussion.

“Hey guys, I found Tristan.” I said

“That’s good. Where is he” Kevin said abruptly

“He’s ok and with Jackson; I wanted to talk with you both” I said

“He is not getting away with this” Kevin said

“Listen, he is feeling like you don’t love him anymore” I said

“See you big asshat I told you he was picking up on your feelings” Jeff said

“Oh my feelings huh; you said you felt the same way” Kevin countered

“Look both of you; obviously something is going on and I think it is everyone’s interest if Tristan stay with me until he isn’t flying off the handle” I said

“Flying off the handle? He has your stupid personality and is so damn head strong” Kevin said at me

“Look I’m not the bozo who cloned me. Did you ask if anyone knew I was safe? You really think Bob and CC would not have searched for me? You of all people should know that they would” I said

“You think you are really something special; that my dad would look for you?” Kevin laughed

“Enough!” Bob said coming into the room followed by CC

“We could hear you guys down the hall” CC said

“I will have you know Kevin; I did know where TJ was when he ran away. That is why I tried to stop you.” Bob said angrily

“That is why everyone tried to stop you; but no, you were too caught up in losing a patient.” CC said

“You really should have known better Kevin. Tristan can pick up on all these harsh feeling and he is taking it out on you both.” Bob said as his eyes narrowed on Jeff

“I uhhh” Jeff stuttered

“This ends now; you both will stay as you are until I decide things are fixed. Tristan does not deserve any of this. He can stay with TJ and Jackson until further notice” Bob said

“But dad” Kevin said

“Don’t you butt dad me young man; you both deserve this” Bob said

“I agree” CC said

“For how long” Kevin whined

“For god sakes Kevin, you can go a few days or weeks without sex; it won’t kill you” Bob said and curtailed my laughed

“Kevin and Jeff, you have both behaved irresponsible. I am surprised Tristan hasn’t dropped a house on you both yet” CC said

“He wouldn’t dare.” Kevin said

“Oh I wouldn’t put it past him” Bob said

“Look at poor Emma, she can’t rebuild her house as refuses to see she was wrong. No matter where on her land she tries the house crumbles. Tristan is one strong individual.” Bob said

“TJ, I trust he came back with you?” CC asked

“He did and I left him with Jackson” I replied

“Ok, let’s leave these two and go check on Tristan.” Bob said

“You two better get your acts together” CC said and then followed us out

“I hope for Tristan’s sake we can work things out” I said

“Me too; I would like Tristan to stay with you in the meantime” Bob said

“I agree; this has gotten too out of hand. I will deal with Emma and Bob you got the other two” CC said

“I think you got the easy one” Bob said

“He is your son” CC said laughing

We arrived and I opened the door. In the bed with Tristan was Mattie, Jamie and Katie all snuggled up.

“I think they are bonding” Bob said with a huge smile

“I would say so” I replied matching his smile

“We are going to have quite the group when they are older” CC said

“Let’s leave the to sleep” Bob said pulling the door

I walked back to the bedroom to find Jackson snoring with his ipad on his chest. I moved the tablet to the nightstand and climbed in beside him. We woke up the next morning snuggled up together

“How did things go?” Jackson asked

“Not so good; Bob has to talk with them and mediate” I replied

“From what Tristan said he doesn’t ever want to go back” Jackson said

“You know deep down I know he should but my gut feeling is things will get worse before they get better.” I said

“Well how worse could it get?” Jackson asked

“Babe that is something I don’t even want to think about. Apparently he’s going after Jeff too and Bob said they could use some time off from sex” I said

“Yeah it was a rhetorical question.” Jackson said

“Last night Bob, CC and I checked on the kids and they were snuggled up with Tristan” I said

“All of them?” Jackson asked

“No, just Mattie, Jamie and Katie” I replied

“Well I hope things went ok” Jackson said

“Me too; let’s shower and go check.” I replied

After our long shower and love making session we walked over to the nursey. Tristan was playing with all the kiddos as they were sitting in a circle rolling a ball around.

“How did this happen?” I said astonished

“I’m not sure. We fed them and when they were done and I was cleaning up I turned around and they were all in a circle and rolling the ball.” Mack said

“They are moving through their milestone fairly quickly” I said.

“That they are” Mack said and left the room

“So when is our surprise coming?” I said

“He should be here this afternoon. He told me it was going to be hard keeping it from Mack” Jackson replied

We sat and watched the kiddos playing with Tristan when Cam and Grayson came in

“Hey guys” I said

“Wow they really are advanced” Cam said looking at the kids

“I was just as surprised” I said

“So not to be rude but I wanted to get down to business. We heard from Baron this morning and he said his mother is taking care of everything. She also reached out to Madeline to set-up a meeting as well.” Grayson said

“What do you mean take care of everything?” I asked

“Unbeknownst to me my grandparents and the Trumps were really good friends. My dad is friends with Donald’s kids which is why Baron hired him. Melania and my mother are going to put my father in the hell hole he belongs in. Melania loves my mother and she had someone following my dad for years and they have enough dirt to get my father to back down” Cam said

“What about the others?” I said

“Well here’s the interesting part; Baron controls everything as he is Melania’s executor. Even though she is alive he has her proxy for everything. When Donald died he didn’t leave the children much of anything and left it all to Melania and Baron. They have been gracious enough to take care of them. From what I’ve heard Jack is working on getting all their financial ties severed and none of them will have a money vault to stand on.” Grayson said

“So things are back on track” I said

“That they are; we should begin renovations soon. I have a contract being drafted to hire John and I am working on getting him affiliated with a good firm. Apparently the poor kid gets rejected because of his surname” Cam said

“Well keep up the good work guys. At least we got some good news” Jackson said

“We will let you know if anything changes” Grayson said and he and Cam left

“We things around here are always interesting” I said

“That they are; got a text that our guest is on his way to the house. The driver said they should be here about lunch time” Jackson said

We watched the kids interact with Tristan and he had a huge smile on his face the whole time. I left the room and went to tell Kaiden to set an extra place for lunch.

“Hey TJ, got a minute” Bob said before I reached the kitchen

“Sure Bob” I replied

“I had a long conversation with Kevin and Jeff and things are not going well. How would you and Jackson feel about becoming his guardians?” Bob said

“I’m for it but I would need to talk with Jackson” I said

“Please do and let me know” Bob said and walked away

“Hey Kaiden, we need an extra place for lunch; we have a guest coming.” I said

“No problem; I have extra” Kaiden replied

“Is Cam staying?” I asked

“Yeah” Kaiden replied blushing

“That’s cool. Are you official yet?” I asked

“I’m not sure. I think because my life is all over the place I should wait” Kaiden said

“Look, I will expedite getting the cook here and we will need you to head security.” I said

“Bob told me I am exclusive to you and Jackson since we don’t have a history” Kaiden said

“I know it’s been mentioned. We will accommodate you and Cam” I said

“I appreciate it” Kaiden said

At the moment the doorbell rang and I walked to the door and opened it. Standing there was a beautiful man with short blond hair and the bluest eyes. He had cute glasses and was dressed line khakis and a button down shirt that really brought out his eyes.

“You must be Rory. I’m TJ” I said sticking out my hand

“You are correct; nice to meet you TJ” Rory said and he had impeccable smile

“Jackson told me that Mack doesn’t know you are here. We set a place for you for lunch which is in just a few minutes” I said

“I can’t wait to surprise him” Rory said

“Come in and let’s head to the dining room” I replied

Kaiden sent out the family alert that lunch was ready. Mack and Jackson were talking and Mack didn’t see Rory standing there.

“Mack, you have a visitor” I said

Mack turned around and got a huge smile

“Rory!” Mack shouted
