"What about the breeding? What happened?" Ty asked.
"It sounds as if Daniel knocked the hunk up," Lex replied.
"But I thought Daniel was the one in cycle, not the other one," Ty responded.
"I guess we have to wait to talk to them when they get through," Lex replied.
The next morning, both young men left the breeding Quarters and headed to the exit of the main house, both of them very sore but both very pregnant.
Daniel led Hyden to the dining room where breakfast was being served; they walked through the door holding hands like a couple of lovebirds. "Grandfather, we will need a house to stay in, please, sir," Daniel spoke up.
"I've got two more stories upstairs with plenty of rooms. Feel free to pick y'all one out until the baby arrives, then we will talk more, okay?" Zach looked up from his plate of pancakes.
"Until the babies arrive, Sir," Daniel started, grinning like a Cheshire cat. Daniel went to his Grandfather and hugged his neck.
"First it was Claude and Ben, then Eric, now you and Hyden. Is there something in the water or in the air? Heck, I'd better be careful, or I could be next, maybe even your Dad," Zach commented. He looked at his two other grandsons just sitting there with their mouths open.
"Will you two young unattached knuckleheads close your damn mouths and help your brother and his mate have a seat since they have precious cargo onboard," he said. Ty and Lex jumped and rushed over and pulled out their chairs, and helped the two sit down.
The padded chairs were a welcome sight to both boys as they sat down, for the next few days, they were going to be a little tender.
"So, little brother, was it worth it for a night of passion and the next nine months watching your body swell up like a balloon?" Ty was the first one to speak as he sat back in his chair.
"To my poor clueless older brother, my answer is a most defiantly. Yes, I had no idea how beautiful it could be joining with another until last night.
And I will tell everyone sitting at this table as witness that I will have as many babies as he wishes to have me conceive, he will be my one and only mate, he can breed as many other Genmen to help the ranch by spreading his good looks and genes but he is the only Genman that will touch me," Daniel smiled then placed his hands on top of his and Hyden's stomachs.
"I can promise you, Daniel, that I will do my part to help the ranch as needed with your blessings, but I will make sure you conceive our children," Hyden smiled and looked into Daniel's eyes, and started to tear up.
"Well, young smart ass Ty, did that answer your question, or should they put in a document in blood. To be so smart in books you can say some of the most naïve things, but all that comes from no real-world experience but don't worry your time will come and when it does it will hit you in the gut like a 4x4 taking your breath away,"
Zach smiled at the two young men, then remarked. The rest of the meal was eaten in silence after Z's statement.
After the meal Zach told Daniel that it would be a very good idea if he took the buggy and Hyden to see Ben to Tell him the news before he heard from the grapevine and got pissed, plus Hyden has been wanting to see Claude anyways maybe they could compare notes. Daniel grabbed Hyden's hand and headed out the door.
"I am pleased to see my brother so happy for once in his life. At the old Ranch in the breeding Quarters where I was being trained in fertility treatments and Artificial Insemination for Genmen who agreed to enter the program and signed contracts giving the Farm total control in the breeding process; they were brutal," Lex remarked.
"What do you mean by brutal?" Zach asked his grandson.
Lex told his story. "They would bring the young Genmen getting ready for their shift and wait until they started, then give them a shot to knock them out, strip them, and lay them over a stainless steel breeding table, bent at the waist so the breeder could get at them.
"Then they were strapped down, and another shot was given to jump-start their cycle. When they were ready, they let the breeders take full advantage of them, and some of the breeders were nothing but pure animals. There were others that they brought the semen in and artificially inseminated them.
"After they passed the test, they would be returned to their room and given another shot to wake them up. Grandfather, it was brutal. They had no idea what happened to them."
"That sounds familiar to my experiences," Luther remarked.
"If I have anything to say about the process, that Ranch will be shut down, period." Zach was furious. He went to his office to make a few calls to important people he knew.
"There's a lot more information that you need to know before you make those calls, and I can tell you plenty more," Lex called out to his grandfather. Zach signaled for his youngest grandson to follow him.
"How are you coming with the books so far?" He asked Ty.
"Perfect, sir. I found plenty of ways to streamline the Ranch for maximum income without creating any additional burdens on anyone there," Ty replied.
"Good, get me a report ready, and I will talk to you later. Now, I am not to be disturbed while I talk to Lex unless the place is on fire," Zach replied. Zach walked into his office and closed the door.
"Have a seat and you can start your story at any time and don't leave out any detail, no matter how private or personal, because I know that you had to have someone very close to him on the inside of the operation of the Farm," Zach told Lex.
"Well Grandfather; there is a lot of strange things going on in the Breeding Quarters, they have a area where all of the artificial insemination's are done, there are 10 artificial insemination stations that can all be full for days and they aren't always ranch residents there, they bring them in from other Farms also. I've seen the process performed in person and on videos."
"And who showed these videos?" Zach asked.
"His name was Chris, he was my friend and mentor at the facility, plus a whole lot more," Lex replied. Z looked at his grandson.
"Okay, tell me everything about you and Chris, hold nothing back, I've seen and done just about everything there is being in the Genman Business for all these years, you are the living proof of that," he said and smiled at Lex.
"Well, for starters, it started when I went into the intern program at 16 years old. They assigned me and him together, and I felt stirrings the very first time he shook my hand.
"He was 22 at that time. About two weeks later, we made love for the first time. Chris was everything. I wasn't tall, built like a mountain for a human.
Standing 6'5" with big muscles and gifted with 14", he was never soft when we were around each other. I thought we had a close call one time when my condom broke inside him, but he explained that humans were built differently than Genmen inside no matter what we were taught in Genman School.
"He was my first, and I was his first anything; both true virgins, we learned a lot from each other. But sadly, he died 2 months ago in an auto wreck. They said he was speeding, but that was a lie; he never drove fast at all. He loved his dad's old car; it was the last thing he had of him. I believe he was murdered because he was always asking questions about the Genmen being bred there," Lex replied.
"I'm glad we left when we did, the phone call about Granddad Ben woke Dad up, he was scheduled for breeding again next week to the same donor to see if they could duplicate a previous offspring as they call it."
