said.
    "Boys, dinner!" Doris yelled.
    "Come on, let's go eat. I wanna give them the good news about getting the job and starting in two weeks." Adam said as they left their bedroom and headed to the table.
    "Getting settled in?" Jeff asked.
    "Sure are. Having Craig with me is good for me, thank you both once more," Adam replied.
    "Yes, let me add my thanks to Adam's also," Craig said. "You saved our bacon, and now we have a little breathing room. I still can't believe I lost my job at the IRS due to site closure."
    "Speaking of which, I'm happy to announce I got a job offer today." Adam said with a broad smile.
    "Congratulations. Where, doing what? Tell me, tell me." Doris practically screamed.
    "I'm going to be the Director of Security for Wintergreen Apartments, Inc. They operate a total of fourteen properties throughout the region, and I'll be supervising around sixty-eight security officers. I begin in two weeks, and I'm kinda excited as the company has an excellent reputation."
    "Great news, Adam, I'm really happy for you. I know being unemployed was really wearing out your nerves," Jeff said.
    "You have no idea," Adam said. "So, no problem at all on money issues while living here. In fact, I'd like to give you a little more than just what you're asking for so we feel like we're contributing to the house in a more beneficial way."
    "We'll talk about money later. Right now, let's eat!" Jeff replied.
    The conversation carried itself along with happy feelings, the food tasted great, and Craig helped to clean up afterwards as Adam and Jeff sat in the living room watching the news. When they were finished, Craig joined Adam on the sofa, and Doris lay down on the other sofa with her head in Jeff's lap. Everyone was relaxed and pleasant as they watched the evening television shows.

Chapter Four
     
    They all went to bed a little later than usual since Friday night had arrived. When Adam looked over at the clock in the bedroom, the time read just before one. As Craig snuggled into him preparing to sleep, both guys were jolted awake by an argument between Doris and Jeff. They tried to ignore the raised voices, but Doris and Jeff left the bedroom and went down into the living room, which made ignoring the conversation all the more difficult since they heard every word.
    "You do realize that I didn't do this on purpose or something, ya know? The very last thing a guy wants to hear from the doctor is what we just read in that letter. And why the hell did you wait until after one in the morning to open the damn mail? I could have at least called the doctor to confirm what we read and to see if there is anything that can be done!"
    "Jeff, I've been very busy today, and the mail just didn't seem important at the time. I had a full day, we had Craig move in, and I had dinner to cook. I frankly forgot all about the damn mail. But, that's not the issue! We've been trying to have a baby for two years now and have gotten nowhere. I've been torturing myself wondering what the hell is wrong with me and why my eggs weren't fertile, and all along I wasn't the problem, right? You were shooting blanks. This means I'm never gonna get to have a child of my own."
    "Well, you can always leave me for a man who's got active sperm, ya know! If you wanna be like a cow and just have calves, find another bull in the field!" Jeff said angrily.
    "You know damn well I would never leave you over this! I love you and thought you loved me until you just suggested I leave you to go fuck another man!"
    Silence reclaimed the house, and then Adam and Craig could hear Doris sobbing. Jeff had gone downstairs into the basement area, leaving Doris alone. They heard him slam shut the door to his office.
    "Should we go out to her?" Craig asked.
    "Oh, hell no! The last thing we should do is stick our noses into something so very personal. Jeff is so beautiful and hung like a mule, and yet he gets stuck with shooting blanks. See, if you're too perfect, karma makes up for it
