The Kids Grow Up by Trish Hanan (novel24 .TXT) 📖

not wanting you to live next door to them. I say you should move to Farm Two and live with your parents,” she said. Violet gasped with shock.
“You can’t do that, I want to live with the other kids,” she wailed and began to cry. Harry sighed.
“Let’s not be drastic, Mother, Violet is fine where she is I guess, but I think a couple of weekends of picking tea would be a fair punishment for her little breaking and entering,” he said and a lot of people laughed. Carl stood up.
“That sounds fair to me, usually a first offense like this is community service for six months and a couple of weekends sound fair,” he told them. Lily stood up.
“I think David should join her, after all, he’s the one who gave her the crappy advice,” she stated and everyone nodded. David stood up.
“Hey, that’s not fair, squatter’s rights is the law,” he whined. Charles stood up.
“That law hasn’t been used for thousands of years, you idiot, you should pick tea for being an idiot,” he yelled and everyone laughed.
“Let’s take a vote,” Max said and they all voted and it was decided that for three Saturdays Violet and David would pick tea for eight hours as their punishment for their crime. Harry sighed because, after all, he was the one who was going to have to fly the silly bastards to Savannah to pick the damned tea and stay with them. Jake kissed him.
“We’ll take the kids and have a picnic and it’ll be fun, you’ll see,” he promised and Harry giggled.
“Seven kids in Savannah for eight hours, no way, honey. No, I’ll take them and pick some tea for us,” he said and Jake grinned.
Friday, Harry sent out an email saying that if anyone wanted tea he would take them to Savannah with the criminals tomorrow so of course about twenty people showed up because people did love their tea. Carl showed up with the prisoners and Violet glared at Harry like this was all his fault and he grinned at her.
“She looks pissed at me doesn’t she?” he asked Kathleen who giggled as they walked up the ramp to the cockpit.
“It’s her own stupid fault, squatter’s right, what kind of idiot plan was that, you and Jake would have tossed her ass out in an instant,” she declared and they both laughed. Harry called down to make sure everyone was on and secure and then took off. He flew to ten thousand feet and took the ship to two thousand miles an hour with an ease which impressed the six women in the cockpit with him.
“You’re such a good pilot, Harry,” Joon said and he grinned.
“Thanks, I was thinking about being a pilot when I was in college, my mothers would have had a fit,” he giggled. Nyla lifted an eyebrow.
“Why is that?” she asked.
“What, waste my intelligence flying a space ship, a monkey could do that,” he teased and they all laughed.
They got to the tea field and everyone got on the tractors first to clear the weeds which grew like mad in the jungle. Violet and David sat on the sides and watched because there weren’t enough tractors to go around. Once the weeds were cleared everyone took to picking and Carl supervised the two to make sure they actually did some work which pissed them off.
“I just had a manicure, this is ridiculous. I don’t even like tea,” Violet snapped. Carl shrugged.
“Everyone else does, this is community service, Violet, next time you should think before you try to burglarize someone’s home,” he told her. She glared at him.
“It wasn’t his home, it’s an empty house for Christ’s sake, no one lives in it, why can’t I live in it,” she snapped. Carl sighed.
“Talking to you girl is like talking to a brick wall. You can’t live in that house, its Harry’s house and he doesn’t want you living next door to him. For Christ’s sake, why can’t you get it through your thick skull, Harry and Jake are gay, homosexual, queer, faggots,” he shouted the last few words and everyone laughed.
“That’s right Carl, you tell her,” DJ shouted. Violet glared at them.
“Jake isn’t gay, he’s just confused, his mother told me that,” she insisted. Harry giggled.
“Well, darling, I’ll tell him that tonight while he’s sucking my cock,” he taunted and she flushed while everyone laughed. DJ patted him on his back.
“Oh, man, that was a good one, buddy, I can’t wait to tell everyone that,” he declared.
When Harry told Jake what he had said, of course, he blushed but Jake hugged him and laughed so long he got tears in his eyes.
“Oh, man, babe, I wish I had been there for that one, you really told her boney ass the truth,” he said and kissed him long and hard. Harry sighed and put his head on Jake’s strong chest.
“I didn’t mean to be so mean to her but I swear she was plucking my very last nerve, honey,” he told him. Jake played with his hair.
“I know, babe,” he whispered. Harry sighed.
“All that talk about your mother saying you were just confused and I got a little worried thinking what if you were really just confused and you weren’t really gay and woke up tomorrow and decided you were really straight?” he said and Jake laughed.
“You are such a silly goose, babe,” he teased and lifted his face up to his. “Remember old Bobby the hairdresser back on Memphis that I had a crush on and wanted to kiss?” Harry smiled and nodded. Jake traced the outline of those perfect cupid bows Harry called a mouth.
“I was gay long before I met you, babe, just like you were gay before you met me so no one’s going to come between us ever,” he declared and he kissed him. Harry wrapped his arms around Jake’s strong neck.
“I know I’m being silly, honey, let’s fuck and forget about Miss whatever her name is. I’ve been horny all day, you know how the heat in Savannah affects me,” he teased and Jake laughed.
“Yeah I know, I’m been waiting all day for you to come back,” he said and they made love and fell asleep all snuggled together.
The next two weekends they got Mike and Davy to watch their kids and while they were picking tea, Harry and Jake sneaked away during the rest break for some hot jungle love and laughed all afternoon because they were hot and sticky and very satisfied All their friends teased them because they all knew what they had been doing. Violet glared at them all afternoon because she knew.
That winter before they headed for Hawaii Harry and Jake took the kids skiing up at the lake for a couple of weeks and they all had a blast. He dropped off the rest of the town in Hawaii first so they wouldn’t complain and then the six couples headed for the slopes and had a marvelous time. The kids really enjoyed skiing and ice skating and it was a good change from the sand and beach. Then they packed up the farm and headed for the beach house.
“Man, that was fun, we should do that every year, before we go to Hawaii, we should go skiing first,” Kathleen gushed and all the ladies agreed. Harry nodded.
“We should, the kids should enjoy the snow as well as the beach,” he stated. “Doing the same old thing year after year gets boring, we should mix it up once in a while,” he said and they all grinned.
“Is that what you and Jake were doing the other night outside in the snow, mixing it up?” Grace teased and Harry blushed. All the ladies laughed.
“We were playing rescue dog and stranded skier,” he admitted and they all rolled their eyes and hooted.
“How on Minos do you play that?” Joon asked and Harry giggled.
“Well, I’m the stranded skier who’s lost in the blizzard, right,” he asked and they all nodded. “Jake is the Saint Bernard who is out looking for me, only when he finds me, he gets all hot and horny and attacks me and we have the best sex.” Kathleen giggled.
“You and Jake always have the best sex, you two are sex maniacs,” she declared and all the girls laughed. Harry nodded.
“After twelve years you have to spice it up to keep it fresh and new, Jake is easy, I like that in my man,” he declared and they all laughed. Down in the carrier the men were talking.
“So what were you and Harry doing out in the snow the other night?” Steve asked and Jake laughed. All the men looked at him. DJ wrapped his arm around his shoulder.
“It was sex wasn’t it?” he teased and Jake nodded and they all laughed.
“Oh, man, you and Harry have sex everywhere, what game where you playing out in the snow?” Charlie asked. Jake looked around to see if any children could hear and he leaned forward. All the men leaned in to listen.
“Well, we were playing stranded skier,” he told them. Synta grinned.
“How do you play that?” he asked. Jake grinned.
“Well, Harry was a stranded skier and he was lost in a blizzard right?” he asked and everyone nodded. “I was a Saint Bernard and I was out looking for him only when I found him looking so lost and hurt, I got horny and attacked him. It was so hot, Harry plays helpless so good, it brings out the animal in me and I can’t help but attack him. He whimpers really good and pleads and begs, it’s so hot,” he bragged and they all sighed.
“I could see that, Harry should have been an actor, he’d be really good,” Steve remarked and they all nodded. DJ grinned and slapped Jake’s back.
“You are one lucky bastard, if you ever think about leaving him, I’d kick your ass from here to Savannah,” he declared and they all laughed. Jake shook his head.
“Oh, no, I’d never leave Harry, no one would ever play stranded skier like he does,” he said and they all laughed.
Hawaii was the same as usual; they all unpacked and ran to the waterfall. Jackson and Emma were six, Cassie and Adam were five, Ryan was four, Sean was three and Danny was two, all of their kids were getting older and more precious than ever. They loved them more everyone day and every minute they spent with them was better than the one before.
“Okay, line up,” Harry shouted and all the kids laughed and lined up to be lifted and dropped into the water while the adults laughed and prepared to catch them. Kathleen grinned at him.
“That’s still a neat little trick you have there,” she shouted over the noise and he grinned and dropped two year-old Cameron right in front of her. She laughed and picked him up and he giggled.
“Do it again, Harry,” he shouted and Harry lifted him up and dropped him again while he giggled.
The next morning they were out on the play area talking and laughing and of course Violet and Susie were out with their tops off sun bathing and all the women laughed.
“Oh Christ, doesn’t she ever give up?” April sneered.
