Someone asked Greg one day how LeAnn’s pregnancy was going and he replied, “Second verse, same as the first.”

Her second pregnancy was remarkably like the first. The biggest difference was Greg. He was no longer confined to a wheel chair and he was not only walking, he was jogging very carefully and only with Nick or one of their friends who had been trained by Greg’s rehab therapist. She was afraid that Greg in his zeal to recover all his mobility would try to over-do and injure his artificial joints.

LeAnn was afraid she was going to get as fat as a balloon and want to be pregnant forever. She was treated like a queen. Both men jumped through hoops to make sure she was happy, comfortable and didn’t want for anything. Greg had not been able to enjoy the first pregnancy as much as he wanted because of his physical condition. This time he was going to make up for lost time.

Nick found that because he was not constantly worrying about Greg, he was also able to concentrate on Lee and their new one. When the new baby started moving, Greg was so excited he threw up and was kidded for months about that one. Lee was completely unselfish and not at all bothered by the fact that two men, well actually two and ¼ men, Danny wanted to feel too; were absolutely fixated on her tummy. If the baby moved and they were around, they all wanted to feel the flutters for themselves. And just like before, this baby also was going to be a marathon runner. After the first little tremors, the movements turned into full fledged kicks and punches. By the middle of the sixth month, Lee was counting the days until she could get the little demon out of her.
***************************************
The delivery was fast and easy and this time, Nick and Greg were there from the first little ‘OH’. It was on a Thursday. Lee and Leah had moved in with the guys for the last 3 weeks just to make it easier on everyone. Greg was fixing lunch and Nick was giving Lee a foot-rub when she suddenly jerked her foot out of his hands and let out a loud ‘OH’.

Nick jumped and asked if he’d hurt her. Lee said he didn’t but his demon seed had just kicked the living daylights out of her bladder. When it happened the second time, the contraction of her stomach was visible. Everything stopped and they waited. Greg said later he was sure he held his breath the whole time. The third time, they all saw the pain on Lee’s face and the ‘Baby Squad’ went into action. Leah ran into the guest quarters and got her and her mom’s bags. Greg called Dr. Walker and gave her the facts and told her they were on their way. Nick ran out and got the car started and pulled it into the garage so Lee wouldn’t have to walk so far. Greg also called Annie and told her they were going to drop Danny off on their way. They had made plans way in advance and so many of their female friends had wanted to keep Danny, they finally had to draw numbers out of a bowl. Annie Brass won and she was still gloating.

This time, they got to experience the whole thing; the drive to the hospital, the checking in, pacing in the waiting room while they got Lee prepped. It was amazing how fast their friends began to arrive. Greg told Nick he bet Jim’s land-line was smokin’. He was sure Annie had called every one they knew. They found out later, it wasn’t Annie; it was JIM! He was so excited about the new one, he’d notified everyone and even went to the college to pick up Gil so he could be there from the beginning this time.

It all went according to plan except for one small thing. It was a little girl. Greg let out an exuberant ‘YESSS”. Nick leaned over Lee and said, “One of each. You did good for us honey.” Everyone in the delivery room gave their happy congratulations. The two new dad’s cut the cord and then gave their baby girl her first bath. Nick was carefully drying her head full of pale, light-brown, silky curls while Greg counted fingers and toes and kissed each tiny digit. They wrapped her up and took her over to Lee and put her in her arms. As before, Dr. Walker asked if they had a name ready. Nick nodded to Greg and asked him what he had picked. Greg folded back the blanket and introduced the room to CeLeigh Leah Sanders.

When he heard Nick’s loud gasp, he asked, “What’s wrong Nick? Don’t you like it?”

Nick just shook his head and reached down and took the baby out of Lee’s arms and held her up to his face. He turned to Greg and in a very shaky voice said, “Greg, look at her cheek.”

Greg looked closer at CeLeigh’s soft, creamy little cheek and then he saw what had Nick almost speechless. Their baby girl had his moles; on the same cheek, the same number and in the same pattern.

No one in the world except Greg knew about Nick’s fixation, almost fetish with his moles. Greg was remarkably candid and open about their sex life. He had no problems in praising Nick’s size or prowess or talking about how good he was in bed, but he had never, ever said a word about the moles. Nick would rub his cheek against them and then gently trace a line with the tip of his tongue from one to another. He made a pattern out of them and he always touched them in the same order. He would drop a kiss on each mole and then would kiss Greg’s mouth until he was limp. Greg tried very hard not to let anyone see the tears in his eyes as he watched his love gently touch his tongue to their baby daughter’s cheek and trace her moles in the same pattern, finishing up with a gentle kiss to each tiny little beauty mark.
**********************************************
Greg often referred to the years that followed as their ‘Golden Years’. He wasn’t talking about age. They were rich with happiness and success and the sheer pleasure of realizing that life had hit them with its best shot and they were still standing. Their kids were healthy. They both loved their jobs. Nick was amazed to discover that he was one hell of an administrator and when Cath announced that she wanted to retire and enjoy her grand-babies he stepped into the position of director as though it was what he had been doing all his life.

Greg and Gil were easily the most popular professors on campus and their classes were full. Even with the extra courses Greg had taken on as his health improved; the university still had more applicant’s than there were places. Only a small percentage of the students they trained were suited for law enforcement and neither Gil nor Greg was above doing everything they could to influence those gifted students to consider the choice. Those that did, were carefully groomed with extra assignments and suggestions for additional reading and some of them became interns at the crime lab.

Nick worked with the two men to create training plans to expand the intern’s knowledge and add practical experience to theoretical book learning. In time, he refined these training sessions to the point where any CSI or police officer for that matter who could say they had been trained by Grissom, Sanders and Stokes didn’t even have to interview. They were courted and regarded as the cream of the crop. Because of the stringent training they went through, there were no failures. There were some who for personal or health or family reasons decided to move into other fields but not a single one of them ever flunked out on the job.
*****************************
It was also during this period that Nick and Greg finally acted on something that had been in the works for years. They decided to take a vacation…..in Atlanta. Baby Sitters were no problem. LeAnn and Leah just moved into their place and there was no upset in the children’s lives nor the lives of the menagerie they had acquired over the last few years. Nick said every boy had to have a dog. Greg’s response was, “Yeah and Danny might like to play with it too…..when he’s old enough.”

Nick spent weeks choosing just the right puppy; a beautiful lab he named Maverick. Mav’s papers showed an impeccable lineage and breeding so it was with an almost unholy glee that Greg noticed that Maverick was the klutziest dog in the world. Maverick could run across the floor and trip over his own paws. He never ate his food or drank his water. He collapsed into the dishes and then Nick had to get a washcloth and wash his little face. He was a clown by nature and inclination. Nick loved him in spite of it and Greg loved him because of it. When it became obvious to everyone that Maverick also had a maternal streak five miles wide, it was just the frosting on the cake. They became foster parents to two kittens he brought home from somewhere. They never found out where he got them but he cried so piteously when they tried to take them away from him, both men just gave up and went to Pet Smart and got litter pan’s and literature on raising orphaned kittens. Then he showed up with a bunny. It wasn’t a wild bunny. It was white with long floppy ears and black spots. Again, they never found anyone anywhere in the entire neighborhood for blocks in any direction that was missing a bunny. Back to Pet Smart. They were amazed to learn that rabbits were quite smart and could be housebroken so they bought another litter pan. They added another young female lab named Dax that was abandoned at one of Nick’s crime scenes and later a gorgeous, long haired female cat named Mimeaux. She was left on their door step with a note saying her owner was no longer able to care for her and she had heard nothing but good things about them. There were 3 pages of instructions for Mimeaux’s care and a box that contained a velvet bed with several changes of bedding, collars, bowls and a 2 weeks supply of cat food. Mimeaux walked into their house, looked around and then looked up at Greg.

“Does it satisfy your needs my lady?” She mewed a little “Meow” at Greg which he took to mean, “Well, it’s not what I’m used to but I can make do as long as the servants are well trained.”

Nick told Greg later, he better realize that he was the submissive in the relationship. Greg just replied that he had been playing sub to Nick’s ‘dom’ for years now; one more wouldn’t matter.
***************************************
Like most major airports in the days after 9/11, security at Hartsfield was strict so they didn’t expect to see their friends when they got off the plane. They figured they’d meet up at baggage claim but to their surprise, when they got off the tram and took the escalator up to the terminal level, there were their friends waiting for them at the top of the stairs. They were all excited and happy to be seeing each other for 7 whole days with nothing to do but enjoy each other. After they got out of the traffic pattern, there were hugs and greetings all around. They headed out through the terminal to pick up their baggage. They were so engrossed in each other that no one noticed the attention they were attracting as they moved through the crowded airport.

None of them were in their first flush of youth but they were all five of them above average in looks and maybe because they were mature men who all loved what they did, they had an aura of power that enveloped all of them. They were striking men by themselves but the five of them together, laughing, talking, occasionally throwing an arm around a pair of shoulders for an affectionate hug were something to turn heads and they were doing just that.

They retrieved their bags and headed outside. Greg started to step out into the pedestrian crossing but Larry grabbed his arm and stopped him. He said, “Just stay right here, young’un.” Greg told him he could walk over to the car. Larry grinned at him, “Well maybe you can, but I don’t feel like it.”

Just then, a luxurious black limo pulled up and a distinguished looking driver got out, went around and opened the trunk and walked over to the group and picked up Nick’s bag since it was the closest.

Nick looked at the driver closely and then broke out in a big grin. He grabbed the man’s arm, swung him around and said, “Mike, is it really you?”

Mike gave him back an equally big grin, “I wondered if you would remember me. You’re still looking better than good man, How you doing? Is this your young man?”

Nick threw his arm around the man’s shoulders and gave him a big hug. “How could I forget the guy who drove me to the gates of heaven?”

Greg was standing there watching the whole thing and let out a rather surprised “AHEM.”

Nick turned towards him and said, “Greg, this is Mike. He was the shuttle driver for the Crowne Plaza when I came to Atlanta the very first time. He spent the day driving me around Buckhead and then that night he delivered me to Body Heat where I met Collin.”

Greg walked over and held his hand out to Mike. “I feel like I ought to be writing you a check for the ‘young man’ remark.”

Mike just grinned back and said, “Hell boy, I’m 76. You all are young men to me.”

He put Greg’s bags in with Nick’s and then opened the back door for his passengers. They all piled into the beautiful car and settled themselves in the soft Cordovan Leather seats. Mike said over his shoulder as he was pulling out into traffic, “There’s a big pitcher of peach bellini’s in the fridge courtesy of David. Let’s get this party started gentlemen. I’m going to close the window so I can concentrate on this nasty traffic. You just enjoy yourselves.”

Larry was closest so he pulled out the pitcher and filled five crystal flutes with the delicious mixture. He passed them each a glass and then said, “As the senior member of this group, I propose a toast. Here’s to ‘long awaited dreams’.” There was a moment of silence as they all thought about the years of longing and waiting behind those words and then they raised their glasses and they all said together, “to long awaited dreams.”

They all had another round of drinks; thank god for downtown traffic. Nick asked why Mike was still working at 76. Larry, Collin and Steve looked at each other and then started to laugh. Steve said it was because of him and Greg. Mike owned the limo they were riding in and several others. He had one of the most successful limo services in the greater Atlanta area and hadn’t had to work other than fill out bank deposits for some time now. But when Larry had called and asked for a limo to the airport to pick up some out of town guests, Mike had taken over the phone and asked him who was coming in. When Larry told him that Nick and Greg were finally coming to town for a week’s vacation, Mike said he would be driving them himself and the limo was at their disposal for the entire time the guys would be there. Nick knew that Larry and Steven now owned Body Heat as well as Belle Hombre and they were two of the most successful and long running business in Buckhead. They were so well managed they almost ran themselves so Steven had started dabbling in the stock market. Steven’s level of intelligence was on a par with Greg’s and his idea of dabbling was to read, take courses and learn everything he possibly could. In just a few years, he had become a certified financial planner and had a large clientele. Nick, Greg and quite a few of their friends in Las Vegas had Steven managing their finance’s and it was a measure of how good he was that they all were not living from pay day to pay day like so many of their acquaintances. Nick knew that the start up funds for Mike’s Limo Service had come from Steven, Larry and Collin. He didn’t even have to ask; he just knew.

Mike dropped them at the high-rise and told them he would be seeing them later and they could get caught up then. As they entered the elevator, Nick couldn’t help but look up in the corner. He was looking for the little red light. Mr. Jenson had passed away several years before and Collin and the other owners decided to automate the surveillance. They all agreed that there would never be another Mr. Jenson and it wouldn’t be fair to even try to replace him. They did keep his apartment available to any senior that needed a comfortable home for as long as necessary. Everyone agreed that would be a fitting memorial for the kind, old man who had been their guardian angel for so many years.

Nick and Greg had stayed with their friends several times in the past and had always loved their apartment but they were floored when Collin pushed the button for the top floor. He opened the door and stood aside to let them enter. They had sold their large, two bedroom unit on the 4th floor and had bought half of the entire top floor. Collin of course did the renovation and the new apartment was not only luxurious but the view took your breath away.

Larry took their bags into the bedroom, while Collin and Steven got them settled out on the terrace. When he came back, Steven said, “We thought that since we all worked today, we wouldn’t plan anything. We fixed some stuff earlier and we’re just going to take it easy, snack a little, drink a lot and relax. Nick and Greg both raised their glasses to Steven and told him he was a prince among men. They had cold anti-pasto followed by delicious cold peel-and-eat boiled shrimp, hot freshly baked foccacio bread and cheesecake for desert. They had all taken their shoes off and changed into loose fitting shorts and shirts and as the evening progressed, they became more and more comfortable with each other.

There was a buzz in the air that they all could feel. This wasn’t just a vacation. This was going to be the week they took their friendship to the next level. With the exception of Collin and Nick, all five of the men had remained faithful to the commitments they had made to each other at the start of the two relationships. Collin had only seduced Nick after talking to both his partners and telling them what Greg had told him. That had been the only time any one of the five had strayed outside their limits. But the sparks, the interest had been there from the moment the Atlanta three had come to Las Vegas to attend Nick and Greg’s commitment ceremony. It had flared into life when Greg had kissed Collin good bye at the end of that week-end. During the last eleven years, there had been kisses exchanged; passionate kisses but no one had ever tried to go any further. When Greg called Collin and told him that he and Nick wanted to come spend a week with them in Atlanta, Collin had taken the bull by the horns and asked if it was going to be more than just a week away from the jobs and the kids.

There had been a long silence on the other end of the line and Col was beginning to think he’d stepped over the line when Greg said softly, “Oh lord I hope so. The five of us have been dancing around this fire long enough. I think it’s time to find out if there is really something between us all or if we just have an itch that needs to be scratched.”

Collin had asked if Nick was in on Greg’s plans or if he was going to spring it on him after they got there. Greg laughed and said Collin knew him too well. He said No, he’d promised Nick after he sicced Col on him the last time that he would never do something like that again without talking to him first. They had talked at length. It was obvious that both Nick and Collin still had deep feelings for each other and Greg quickly reassured Collin that it didn’t bother him at all. “Nick is probably the most loving man in the whole world and I know he can love you and still love me completely. Besides, it’s no secret that I’ve had the hots for you for years now.”

Collin quickly told Greg that not only was the feeling mutual with him but he knew that both Larry and Steven were more than casually interested in him. They agreed that this would be the time they indulged themselves and if it turned out to be a one time thing; well, they would all have one hell of a week. Collin told Greg, he would bet him real money that if they once shared themselves completely with each other, it would be a new 5 way relationship that would last for the rest of their lives.

The sun set, the moon rose and the five friends became quieter and quieter. They had all moved closer together. Greg was sitting between Larry and Steven and Collin and Nick were sitting across from them. They were so close they were all sharing a big ottoman and their feet were intertwined. Collin was rubbing his foot up Greg’s calf. Nick had his arm on the back of the loveseat he was sharing with Collin. His hand was resting on Collin’s neck and he was rubbing one finger along his hairline. Larry was stroking his fingers through Greg’s silver curls. Steven turned and put his glass on the side table and when he turned back, he turned to Greg and kissed him on the cheek. He slid his mouth slowly forward and Greg turned his head and caught his mouth with his. They both sighed as they shared the first kiss of the night. It was not going to be the last. The kiss deepened and it was obvious that there was some tongue action going on. When they finally parted, Steven grinned at Greg and said, “You know, if we wait for our old fogy partners to start something we’ll waste half the week.”

Greg grinned back at him, grabbed him for one more open, mouthed kiss and answered him back, “Well then, I’d say it’s up to us youngsters to get this orgy in high gear.” He stood up, grabbed Steven’s hand and pulled him up with him. He pulled Steven’s body against his and rubbed their groins together, “You want to lead the way. Maybe they’ll get the idea and follow.”

They disappeared through the double French doors into the house. The three men left on the balcony could hear them laughing and then a pair of shorts came flying through the door to land on the veranda floor. Larry looked over at Collin and Nick. “I can’t figure out if we just got propositioned or insulted.”

Collin got up and offered one hand to Nick and the other to Larry. He pulled them both to their feet. He kissed Larry with love and affection and then Nick. Laughing, he said, “I think it’s probably both and I also think we better get in there. I’m pretty sure they’re starting without us but we can use our wisdom and skills to catch up. Can’t we?”

Nick laughed back at his friend, once-lover and hopefully soon-to-be-again lover. He moved past him and put his arms around Larry. He looked at the handsome older man he’d come to love over the years. He took his face in his hands and said, “I’ve waited a long time to do this.” He kissed Larry. He used his body, his lips and his mouth to express his admiration, his longing and his desire for the man who’d been responsible for his transformation so many years before. Larry returned the kiss and added his own long held desire for Nick to the mixture. Collin watched the two men he loved so much expressing their feelings for each other and felt his erection growing. He leaned forward, put his arms around both of them and kissed first one and then the other on the cheek and said, “You really don’t want me to come in my pants out here in the open in front of everyone do you. Let’s get inside and get naked.”

Nick pulled back and gave Collin a deep kiss and said thoughtfully, “I really need to explain to you the difference between nude, naked and nekkid. Nude is nice, naked is better but for what we’ve got planned tonight, we need to get nekkid!”

Larry grabbed them both and started moving them towards the bedroom. “Thank God, I have no inhibitions what-so-ever.”

It turned out to be a night to remember in every sense of the word. Steven and Greg had started without them. Greg was naked (nekkid) in the middle of the big, custom made bed. Steven was intent on tasting all of him if the wet, gleaming trails of saliva on Greg’s body were any indication. Greg’s lips were swollen and wet, his nipples were hard, standing up from his chest and Steven was fucking his belly button with his tongue. Every few seconds he would fasten his mouth around the sweet depression and start sucking on it as though he thought he might get something out of it. Greg was holding on to the carved openings in the headboard and moaning softly. He never even noticed when the other three men entered the bedroom.

Collin started to unbutton Larry’s shirt but Larry grabbed the bottom and pulled it over his head. Then he turned to Nick and got his off just as quickly. He turned to Collin, rubbed his hand over the noticeable bulge in the front of his shorts and said, “Baby, there is a time for finesse and then there’s a time for getting into the action as quickly as possible. Now which do you think this is?”

Nick grabbed Larry’s pants by the waistband and pulled them and his underwear down to his ankles almost before he’d finished his sentence. He looked up at an open-mouthed Larry, grinned and said, “Hey, I just cast my vote.” He pulled Collin’s pants off and then his own and jumped on the bed behind Steven and reached between his legs and ran his finger down his hard erection.

Steven jumped, let out a yelp and said, “Good god, I’m glad I didn’t have his cock in my mouth, I would have bit him.”

Nick said, “Now that’s a good idea.” He gently pushed Steven over on his side, lifted Greg’s leg and laid it across Steven’s body and then he laid down between Greg’s legs but further down, where he could reach Steve’s twitching cock with his mouth. He took the hard, erect flesh in his mouth and tasted him for the first time.

Greg lifted his head, looked down and said, “Hey no fair. If he gets a blow job then I want one too.”

Steven immediately took Greg’s cock in his mouth and began licking and sucking on the head and dipping his tongue into the leaking slit in the head. Larry moved so he could get to Nick and Collin laid down next to Greg and claimed his lips in a deep kiss.

You would think with five grown men in one bed, it would be awkward and legs and arms would get in the way but these were 5 men who had been making love to men for years. They were familiar with the anatomy. If an arm or a leg was in the way, they lifted it, got under it or just wrapped it around part of their body and got their hands or mouths on or around whatever they wanted. Nick was so lost in the sensations of strange hands and mouths that he was never quite sure whether it was Larry or Steven’s dick that first slipped in his willing ass. He just knew it felt good and he was sure it wasn’t Collin or Greg because he could see Collin working his long fingers in Greg’s ass getting him ready.

They made love and slept tangled together in a pile. Nick also never knew who it was when he was awakened later by an eager mouth working on his swelling penis. He was pretty sure the mouth did not belong to the hands he felt spreading his ass cheeks apart and sliding into his willing hole. He was fucked and sucked back into a deep sleep and decided just before he slipped over the edge of sleep and orgasm that it didn’t really matter. He was pretty happy with all of the people in the bed at that moment.

The week went by in a daze of sightseeing, sex, parties, sex, the Fox theater, sex and oh yes, did I mention SEX. On their last night together, they had spent hours loving each other. Nick was pretty sure, it would be days before he could walk normally and he didn’t know if he would ever be able to sit without cringing just a little. He was laying on his side holding Greg in his arms. Steven was behind him with his arms wrapped around him, occasionally pressing a lazy kiss on his neck or ear. On the other side of Greg was Larry, almost asleep, but still dropping little butterfly kisses on Greg’s forehead every so often and behind Larry, he could see Collin; his arm laid over Larry and his hand cupping his partners limp penis, almost out of it for good. Nick suddenly realized that was the first time the whole week that he had been next to Greg when they dropped off to sleep. Without even thinking about it, he slid his semi-erect dick down the cleft of Greg’s ass. He loved to nestle himself between the warm cheeks of his butt as he went to sleep. Tonight however, there had been so much activity, he slipped inside Greg’s ass before he even realized he’d done it. Once there, it felt so good he just nestled a little closer and got ready to go to sleep.

Greg raised his head a little and looked around. “Nick, did you just put your cock in my ass?”

“Yeah, did I hurt you baby? It just slipped right in.”

Greg let out a wail. “Oh God, It’s happened. I just knew it would.”

Nick was frantic. “What? What has happened? Are you alright? What’s the matter?”

By now, everyone in the bed was wide awake and Collin was reaching for the bed side lamp when Greg said, “I started out this week as a tight end and now………Now…….I’m a wide receiver.”

Nick learned something new then. You cannot maintain an erection when you are laughing your ass off.
