Snow Leopard Claude has got thru school early and wants to go to college, his mom tells his biological father that Claude is his. And he takes Claude in after his mom dies, but things don't go well at all


We're an odd family for sure. Our Dad and his wife are Lions. As is one of my half brothers. J.T. Kitman is my father for sure, we've had tests and his DNA matches mine and my half brother Rory's too. We all have different mothers. Unfortunately for Dad, we resemble our mothers. Rory looks like his Polar Bear Mom and my Mom was a Snow Leopard, and so am I. Rory's two years my senior. He's 22 now and I'm 20. I've got my MD now and Rory's got his MBA and is working for Dad. Jamie, our half brother, is the son of Jim and Martha and the only one of us born a Kitman.(He's James Thomas Kitman Jr. But we all call him Jamie.) He's a Lion like Dad and he's 7 years old. He looks like Dad, and for Dad's sake I'm glad of it. He's a good kid, a bit spoiled but he loves his brothers and Rory and I have spoiled him a bit too. (Martha almost died birthing Jamie, and she had to be spayed. They were disappointed but Dad has three sons like he always wanted.)

We both came to live with Dad by different means. Rory's Mom was Dad's secretary and she had an affair with him. She left her job when she found she was pregnant. She went off and had Rory in secret. She tried to raise him by herself and she did until Dad found out about her having his son. He went to court and fought tooth and claw until he got custody of Rory. Rory was 5 and Dad hadn't married Martha yet. He was mostly raised by Dad's English retainer, Edward Featherstone. I'd been born as a result of an affair Dad had had with my Mom who he met through a good friend of his, Harry Belford. Mom worked for him, she was his bookkeeper. She had me and he never knew about me at all. Until Mom went to him and told him. She had her reasons.

I was a bright kid and I skipped a few grades in elementary school. We were happy but no where near rich. My Mom loved me a lot and I was a bit curious about who my father was but I really didn't care. I loved school and did well and had a lot of friends. My friends called me Snowy, as we're not too common. I came home one day from school when I was 8, and Mom was crying, She had the paper open to the society section and was reading about the wedding of J.T. Kitman and a Martha Russell. I read it over her shoulder and noted that he'd had a son out of wedlock, a big Polar Bear who had lived with him for a number of years. I couldn't see why this would make Mom cry.

"Claude, he's your Father, I haven't seen him since before you were born," Mom said. I'm still puzzled by why she's crying and she admits to me she loved him. And his father warned her away from him but she never stopped loving him. And she was too scared to tell him I was his. I've got mixed feelings, nice to know who my Dad is, but I'm not sure that it makes much difference. I leave her alone as she asked me to. I go finish my homework and wonder what he'd do if he knew I was his son too.

Life goes on for a while. I'm considered a genius. I get out of High School when I'm 13 and Mom is worried about how to get money for me to go to College and Med School like I want to. I applied to Sacramento State University here in Sacramento. I fill out forms for Financial Aid and I hope for the best. Mom had other ideas about getting the money though. She went to Jim Kitman and told him the truth. She also told him he owed me, as she'd supported and raised me without any assistance or money from him. He was a bit skeptical though. Mom took me to see him the next day. He kind of intimidated me a bit. But he was a gorgeous male Lion. The epitome of the proud handsome Lion male. One thing is for sure, I've got his eyes. They're a rare and unusual Sapphire Blue. (Rory has them too, and I've never seen them on anyone else but me, Dad, and Jamie and Rory. ) He's kind to me, he asks me a lot of questions, and he's proud of me graduating school early. He and Mom talk after they make me wait in his waiting room. His secretary is a nice Lynx and she talks to me a lot. She's kind and being friendly and she doesn't talk down to me like a lot of adults do. (She's not surprised by me. She knew of Dad's affair with Mom and she was half assed expecting me to show up one day. She's been Dad's EA since Rory's Mom quit to go have Rory.)

A beautiful Lioness comes up with a teenage Polar Bear who's close to my age. She goes in and leaves him with me. "Morning, Ms Kingsley" the Polar Bear says smiling. "Rory, this is Claude Jacobs, he might be your half brother" she says smiling. Rory looks me over carefully. "You've got Dad's eyes like I do" Rory says smiling. "I'm Rory Kitman" he says shaking my paw. He's pretty big already. "How old are you?" He asks. "I'm 13, and I'm out of high school and trying to get into College now" I say. "I'm 15, and I'm a senior in High School." Rory says. He's already 6'9" and has to be 290 pounds. I'm only 6' and about 190 right now. (Rory will be 7' and 350 by the time he's 18 and I'll be 6'4" and 200 pounds.) He's gorgeous. His White fur is sleek and thick and his Sapphire Blue eyes are striking against his White fur. His paws are huge and his foot paws are too. He has short Off White hair too. He's really hot looking. And he's a happy soul and charming and friendly to me.

I've got Dad's Sapphire Blue eyes, and my fur is Pale Gray with Black Rosettes. My fur is thick and fluffy and my tail is the usual Snow Leopard tail. Cylindrical and as long as my body with the same fluffy fur as the rest of my body. And I have to keep my tail held up to keep folks from stepping on it. My hair is Black. My face is broad and open like Dad's and I'm stocky for a Snow Leopard. I have a big Feline dick too. Tapered to a point and studded with barbs. When I do eventually see Dad naked, I note we have the same Feline dick. My foot paws are bigger than normal for us Snow Leopards too. I've been told since I was a tiny cub how cute and attractive I am.

I'm gay and not a virgin anymore thanks to my High School Coach. I'm a bottom and Coach made me a good one. Coach Max is a big Grizzly and I cornered him in his office after I saw him in the shower. He got hard when he saw me naked in the shower. I knew I wanted him and I went after him. He resisted a bit but when he saw I was really and truly hot for him, he gave in and took my ass cherry on the spot. I lost my virginity on the floor of the gym showers. He fucked me three times that afternoon. After that we took any chance we could get to rut each other. Coach taught me a lot, and I got good taking his big Grizzly dick any way he gave it to me. Oral sex, rimming, fucking, smoke sex, by the time he told me not to come to him anymore, when I graduated, I was a good bottom. I have to wonder about Rory, if he's gay or not. He's hot and half brother or not, I'd let him fuck me.

Mom comes out and sits by me. "Claude, we going to go have your blood tested now" She says. "Why?" I ask. "If you are his, he's going to take you in and send you to College like you want" Mom says. I hug her. "I don't want to leave you, Momma" I beg. "Claude, I raised you, but you're almost an adult and you'd have to leave home soon enough" Mom says. She takes my paw and leads me off.

We go see a Doctor and I have a physical and he has blood drawn and Mom takes me home. "They'll call the results to Mr Kitman, he's Jim's Doctor and he did the DNA results for Rory" Mom says. It's a tense weekend at our house. On Friday night Mom sits me down and explains why she'll let Jim Kitman have me. Everytime I think about leaving Mom to go to his house I cry. I'm determined to face him down and stay with Mom. Even if it means he won't send me to College. I'll go get a job somehow or try harder to get Financial Aide. But Life isn't on our side. Soon I won't have a choice, except to go to him. I'll soon lose the only one who always cared about me.

It's a really long weekend and Sunday turns out to be the worst day of my life. Mom went to Church and she's been gone all day. I'm a bit worried as she's never stayed gone all day like this. Jim Kitman shows up at the house about 6PM. "Son, you've got to be brave" he says. "You are my son, and I want you to come with me" he says. "I'm not leaving Mom, I will live with her and if you don't want to send me to school without living with you so be it" I tell him. I notice a cop behind him. A hot looking German Shepard. He's got a sad look on his face. "She's gone?" I ask him. He nods. "Car accident, someone ran a stop sign and hit her straight on, Claude, she died instantly" Jim says softly. "I loved her too, my own Dad would not let me marry her, though he'd of changed his mind if he knew she had you" Jim says hugging me tightly. It's all too much for me. I break loose of his grip and I run to my bedroom and I cry. Genius I may be, but I'm only 13. I can hear him talking to the cop now. I cry and I feel like things are so out of control now. And then I meet him.

I hear a soft English accented voice talking to me. A big Red Fox and he's tenderly touching my arm. "I'm Edward Featherstone, I am Master James' retainer, I've been with him for a long time" he says gently. He's so sympathetic, yet he's not feeling sorry for me. "Master Claude, life can be hard, but you are a young adult, and you are stronger than you seem, you are Master Jim's son, and he bore the loss of your Mother and you can too" Edward says gently. "Did he really love her, Edward?"I ask. "Very much, Master Claude, he fought with his own father and lost badly, he almost lost CMK over your mother, and he did not know about you" Edward says stroking my hair gently. "Why didn't she tell him, Edward?" I ask. "Was she ashamed of me?"I say crying. "No, Master Claude, your mother knew if Jim knew he'd fathered you that he'd of gone to court and yanked you away from her like he did with Rory" Edward says hugging me. "I guess I have no choice here, I have to go to Dad and let him tend me now" I say quietly. "That's it, keep your head up and move forward always" Edward says stroking my back. "He didn't know of you, but he loves you anyway, he can see as I can how much of him is inside you" Edward says. "But Mom" I say crying harder. "Claude, you should always remember your Mother, she raised you well and you'll always love her, but you have to be the Leopard she raised you to be, if you do that, you'll honor her memory" Edward says softly.

"Go with him, he'll take you to your new home, you'll find Rory can really help you deal with losing your Mom, Jim took him but she died a few years afterwards" Edward says. "I'll tend to collecting your things and seeing that everything gets to the house" Edward says nuzzling me. "You can always come talk to me if you need to, and Rory will help, and Jim would do anything for his son" Edward says. "He'll miss her too, he did love your Mom" Edward says. "Now dry your eyes and go to Jim" Edward says handing me a handkerchief. I blow my nose and wipe away my tears. "Claude, he loves you, he never would want to get you this way, but he'll love you and protect you, and make sure you get the education you've dreamed of" Edward says quietly. I nod. I'm too overwhelmed to speak now. But I'm comforted too. Edward cares about me and he's not just feeling sorry for the poor little orphaned Snow Leopard. Edward will continue to be the strongest influence on me. The major fatherly influence as well. I get from him what Jim Kitman should have given me but doesn't for a long time.

I walk downstairs and Jim Kitman, I mean Dad is still talking to the cop. He turns and hugs me tightly. "Claude, I'm so sorry, I wouldn't have wanted you to have to go through this for anything" he says softly. "I know, Sir" I say quietly. He takes me out to his car and puts me in the passengers seat. "Claude, Edward will bring your things home and tend to getting the house ready to go back to the landlord" Jim says. "How did you take this?" I ask. "What?" Jim says. "Mom just basically said here's your little bastard and he wants to go to College" I snap. Jim laughs. "You're just like her, blunt and sharp tongued, Boy" Dad says. I'm looking right into his eyes. He grins at me.

"Fine, you want an answer, I knew she loved me, she wouldn't have had anyone else's son but mine, we were going to be married, until my own Dad interfered" He says. "When she came to me, I knew you were mine when I saw you" he adds."The eyes?"I ask. "The eyes and how you held your tail, even though it's longer than mine you hold it the same way I do, and there were a few other things, your birth date is almost nine months to the day Dad broke us up" Jim says. "I loved her, even if it turned out you really weren't mine I'd of sent her son to college, but you are mine" Jim says. "Are you sure?" I ask. "Claude, I have the test results already, your DNA is 79% mine, you are my son, Snow Leopard or not, you're my flesh and blood" he says. He hands me a briefcase. I open it and I look through the papers in it. "I'm worth how much now?" I ask. "I gave you $400 Million, it's from my Dad's inheritance, it's only fitting that he was the one I gave you money from as he was the one who kept me and your mom apart, you'd of been mine naturally and maybe had a few brothers and sisters too" Dad says. I'm dumbfounded. "I gave Rory that much too when I got him home" Dad says softly. I'm stunned by all that has gone down today. He does love me too. Edward was right. I feel my barriers start to weaken and I want him to be my Daddy.

"Claude, I know it's a lot to handle, but I do love you, I know you need time and you have to get to know me too" Dad says. We get to his place and it's huge. Dad pulls into the garage and I feel lost somehow. We get out of his car and I turn and hug him tightly and break down crying. He holds me tightly. "My boy, cry it out" he says softly. "Daddy, I'm so scared and I feel so all alone" I say through my tears. "Jim, I need to talk to you" A beautiful Lioness says pulling on his sleeve. "My boy needs me, Martha, what do you want?" he asks sounding annoyed.. She whispers to my Dad and he grins. He's still holding me but he hugs her too. I'm getting really mad now. I reached out to him as I was supposed to as he's my father. And she tried to keep us apart. I hate her with a sudden flaring passion that stuns me with it's intensity.

"We've tried for so long now" She says grinning. "You must be good luck for us" she says leaning over to kiss me. "I'm Jim's wife, Martha, and I'll try to help you adjust" she says. "But we're gonna have a baby in about six months, Jim gave me a son" she says ecstatically. She's not being mean, she's just really excited I tell myself to try to calm down. But she's angered me, she took my Dad from Mom and she made Mom cry. And Dad was trying to love and comfort his son and she interfered. (I'll never get along very well with her, though Jamie and I get close and Dad and I do eventually bond after I become an adult.. I will be cordial and polite to her, and I'll mind her if I have too. But there's no love lost between us. She's jealous of me and Rory and she hates me just as much as I hate her.)

"He gave you two more sons, but from other females" I snort. "Claude, don't be that way" Jim snaps. "Still she can't be too thrilled, twice you've had to tell her, here is so and so and he's my son, I'm glad you gave her one of her own though, it's only fair" I snap. I run out of his arms and into the house. "Jim, let him go, he's been through so much today, and he's got to adjust" she says softly. As I hear it, I'm annoyed even more. She just wants to keep Dad from coming after me. (She's always trying to keep Dad away from Rory and I. And she doesn't like that Jamie -and I are so close. But Dad's happy that Rory and I love Jamie so much and there's nothing she can do about it.)

I don't know where to go, I don't even know where the bedrooms are here. This place is so big. I find what must be a library and I hide in it for a while. I curl up under a desk and cry for a long time.

"Claude, are you in here?" I hear a deep voice ask. "I am, who the Hell are you?" I snort. He laughs. "I'm your big brother and if you keep this up I'll knock you down and sit on your head" he snorts. I crawl out from under the desk and Rory's grinning at me. He hugs me. I wasn't prepared for how fast he moved and he's got a good tight hold on me."If you're going to sulk, I'll take you to your bedroom so you can do it more comfortably" he says softly. I hug him tightly, surprising him. I need someone now, I need to know someone cares about me. Rory hugs me back tightly. His face softens and he's petting my hair gently. "I know, Baby Kitten, you hurt and you're scared and faced with so many folks you don't know" Rory says stroking my back. "I was just as scared and my mom hadn't died yet" he says softly. His look tells me he does understand. He picks me up and carries me to my bedroom. And he lays me on the bed and we talk. I'm not going to tell him how hot he is or how much I want him to fuck me. He's being so kind and caring and he is making me feel better.(We'll get really close, as close as brothers should be. And when Jamie's born we'll both bond to him as tightly.)

Dad comes up after a while, and the three of us talk a bit. He tells me he was surprised but that he really does love me and how proud of his little Snow Leopard genius he is. He's agreed to send me to school so I won't have to use the money he gave me. His wife calls for him and he leaves us alone, and Rory's frowning too.(I end up having to pay for school with my own money anyway, I can't prove she talked him out of paying for it, but I think she did)

Edward calls dinner and they go down. I wash my face and go down to the dining room. Mrs Kitman is smiling at me. It kind of makes me nauseated the way she's looking at me and I'm not happy and I fix a plate and go into the kitchen and eat. Edward seems to understand how I feel. He nuzzles my forehead and tells me I can eat in here if I need to. A few minutes later, I'm surprised to see Rory come in with his plate too. He sits next to me at the kitchen table. "I don't like her either, she's so condescending and patronizing" Rory snorts. Edward looks solemn.

"Rory, Claude, she is your father's wife, you don't have to like her, but you will be polite to her" Edward says. I nod. "If you are rude to her you will only hurt Jim, not her, and you both love your Dad" he says softly. "I know you don't know him well yet, Claude, but you love your father already" Edward says. I nod. "I was trying to get closer to him and she interfered" I snort. "Claude, you were right, she is upset, she had just gotten used to Rory being Jim's and then you show up, not only that, but right away they have to take you in" Edward says."She is a bit jealous of you two, and she doesn't mean to treat you that way, she just has no idea of how to treat children" Edward says. "Mom and I used to help Aunt Marge tend my cousins" I say quietly. "Then you will be able to help their new son when he comes" Edward says softly. "I will, he will need it" I say. "Claude, I know why you don't like her, and you don't have to, but you will not fight with her" Edward say. "I won't, Edward"I say. He sits with us while we eat encouraging us to talk out our feelings. And he gets me to open up about all of my fears. Rory's really unhappy that Martha's here, he was with Dad for a few years before he married her, and he feels she's an interloper who's trying to keep Dad from his sons.

After dinner, I go up to my room and busy myself putting my things away and getting used to the place. Rory takes me on a tour of the house before we go to bed. At one point, as we're starting to go up the stairs, Rory hesitates and turns to me. It's almost as if he's going to kiss me. But he moves away. He's not sure of himself or if I'll want him to.

I go to bed and I sleep fitfully. The next day I spend some time with Jim's lawyer finalizing the money transfer and I sign the adoption papers. Letting Dad adopt me. Dad's lawyer, Joe Iverson, is a handsome older Black Panther with a touch of Gray in his muzzle. He's tall and handsome and very sexy. I have to fight the urge and not come onto him. I needn't have bothered. He's sniffing me hard and he knows I want him. (It's all the testosterone in my sweat from how much he's gotten me aroused. We Felines scent it on others) He's grinning and his pants are bulging out. I lean forward and kiss him. It's what he was waiting for. He's wrapped around me and we're kissing hotly and he's got me stripped quickly. He's shoving his big Black Feline dick up me while we neck on the floor. He's a hot lover and he stops after his second orgasm in me. (We'll fuck a couple of times a month for years.) He pulls out and we kiss a bit and then we get up off of the floor and get dressed. "I won't tell Dad we did that" I say kissing him, and he takes the papers and gives me a debit card on my new bank account and leaves. I feel better now that I'm full of Panther semen. (I love being full of a butch male's sperm. Makes me hot and calms me down somewhat)

I quickly start College and I've kept to my room mostly when I can. I throw myself into school and I get my usual good grades. On my 15th birthday, Rory gives in to his urges and he comes into my room to talk about it. He's known of what I've been doing with Joe and that I've been roaming the campus bathrooms for sex. Rory finally stops talking and just kisses me. He's a bit embarrassed as he's older but he's still a virgin, and he doesn't want to be. But he loves me too.

We roll around on the bed and make out. He may not have done this before, but he's a natural. I guide his paws as he uses them to seek out my sensitive spots. He's a bit nervous. But when he's up me he's confident. He's a great lover and he's following his instincts and they're good ones. Rory makes me weep with his passion for me and his masterful lovemaking. He's happy too. He spends the night with me and he takes me several times. I show him all that Coach Max taught me. He's hot for a lot of it. He's sitting on my face while I lick out his ass ring and he cums all over me. I kiss him and thank him for letting me have his virginity. He grins and he holds my head on his big chest. We talk at length and he opens up to me. He's easily as smart as I am. We get closer as a result. (We still fuck occasionally only stopping as I get fed up with Dad's poor treatment of me. I'll do something that Rory doesn't approve of and it takes us a few years to get that close again, and by that time we're both mated.)

Rory and I were there when Jamie was born. And truthfully, we were happier than we should have been that she almost died birthing him. Dad was upset but we tried not to show our feelings about it. I'd of been glad if she had him and died. When Dad put little Jamie in my arms, he looked up into my eyes and we knew we loved each other. Dad was so proud when Rory and I bonded to our little brother as tightly as we did. Jamie was so beautiful of a newborn Lion cub. We're all good looking males, But Jamie's gorgeous. He held my finger tightly in his little paw and wouldn't let go. I knew he loved me, he did the same thing to Dad and Rory. Us males of the Kitman blood line are tightly bound now.

I avoid Jim's wife when I can except when I go see Jamie. I love that little Lion cub. I help Edward tend him when I can. He's beautiful and such a good natured little cub. He loves his brother and he's as fond of Rory. Mrs Kitman doesn't like me spending so much time with him, but there is very little she can do about it. Dad's happy Rory and I pay so much attention to our little brother. When he's old enough to walk he toddles around after me and Rory when we're home. I'm now in Med School and busy, but I still spend as much time with Jamie as I can. Rory does too.

Rory and I would be totally lost without Edward. He's as fatherly as we both need him to be. Edward says Dad has talked to him and he doesn't understand why he and I aren't getting along better. I groan and Edward tells me he knows. That Martha keeps putting herself between him and us and he doesn't see it, but that I should nonetheless try to get to know him better. Edward is the only one besides Rory I can count on or trust. And he always comforts me as much as he can. (Dad had other problems with me too, I look so much like Mom but I am a young and attractive Feline and Dad's subconsciously reacting. He's strongly attracted to me and burying it. and it hurts him inside. And it'll hurt me too, until we find a way past it, years later.)

I'm 16 and starting Internship. I've bought a car so I can get around by myself. A Mercedes S560 coupe, a Mocha Brown color. I've got little spare time between my rotations and sleeping. Rory sleeps with me when he can. We think Dad's suspicious of us. He's made a few comments about how close we are getting as young adults. Still he's happy that we're so close still to Jamie.

I do try one night to talk to Dad, it's not too late for us to get close. But he's too busy with work from CMK to spend more than a few minutes with me and he's impatient to get back to work. I'm busy too, I'm training to be a Doctor. I'm talking to him and in mid sentence he picks up the phone and makes a call. So much for him wanting to get closer to me. I stop trying after that. He's obviously just doing what he feels he has to for the Snow Leopard bastard son he fathered.(He's got a lot of issues concerning me and Mom that we'll have to work out eventually. Us alone in his study made him uncomfortably hot for me and he had to distract himself with work. He'll tell me much later that he wanted to throw me on the floor, rip my clothes off, and fuck me until I couldn't walk. I'd of been surprised but I'd of let him. It would have broken the barriers between us at least.)

Life goes on. Jamie's getting big for his age. I'm now 18 and I'm 6'4" and 220 pounds. My build is the same as Dad's and he's proud of that. I look like him as a Snow Leopard. His wife though is getting a bit put out by me. I'm polite and cordial but I'm not spending any more time around her than I have to. I have to admit Dad puzzles me, sometimes he seems so proud of me and to love me so much for a moment or two and then he goes back to mostly ignoring me.(I have no idea how confused he is by me and my resemblance to Mom and what it really does to him)

We have dinner with Dad and her on a Saturday night. Rory's not happy but Dad asked us to be there. We sit with Jamie between us and talking to him. Dad and his wife are discussing something. She's agitated but not raising her voice. I hear her make a comment about how old we are to be still living at home. Rory's getting mad now. "I've been here longer than you have" he snorts at her. She's mad now. I sit silently. Dad looks so God awful sad. I do get it, he's caught in the middle here.

Jamie looks upset and I pick him up and take him to the kitchen. He's holding on tightly to me. "Momma's mad at you and Rory" he says fighting tears. "She's ...well, she's always had trouble with Rory and I, we're Dad's sons but not hers, and she's not coped well" I say softly. "She wants you and Rory to leave" he says sobbing. "What do you want Jamie?" I ask. He looks at me. "We've thought about moving out, but we both have the same reason we want to stay" I say. "Why?"he asks. "We love our little brother and don't want to leave him unless forced to" I say. Jamie hugs me tighter. "Stay, please" he begs. "We will, only Dad could make us leave and I don't think he will" I say quietly. Jamie's pretty smart for 5.(But he does. He's in so much pain, and he knows now he shouldn't have married Martha, his Dad forced him to choose her and he thought he'd make the best of it. Not knowing I'd come along and be a constant reminder of the female he really wanted. And the one to break open his closeted gay impulses.)

Still though, Rory and I have looked around a bit, and there's a fancy Condo we'd buy if we had to move out. It's a penthouse and it's big and has a rooftop pool and hot tub. Rory loves a pool. It's a Polar Bear thing I guess. Still, I'm gone so much and Rory's 20 now. I fix Jamie a bit of cake and ice cream for dessert and he's happy again. I really don't know why he and I and Rory are so close, but I have loved this little Lion cub since the day he was born. Rory has too.

I can hear the argument from the dining room now. Jamie has finished his dessert and Edward takes him to his bedroom to clean up and he'll put him to bed soon. Dad comes in. And he's upset. "Claude, why do you hate Martha?" he asks. "And why does Rory hate her?" he adds. "Everytime we try to do something with you, she interferes, even if I just try to talk to you and get to know you" I say calmly. "But you've never liked her from the beginning" Dad says. "She got you, seeing the wedding notice in the paper made Mom cry and that's when she told me I was yours, she got you and she's treated me and Rory only with condescension and scorn." I say. "Then why don't you move out?" Dad says. "I've never felt at home here, though I love you, Dad, but neither of us will leave Jamie" I say firmly. Dad smiles. "It's always made me so happy that you love him as much as you do" Dad says happily."I've loved him since we first got to hold him, Rory too" I say "And she even resents me for that too" I snort.

Dad looks oddly at me. "If you're angry at Martha for hurting your Mom by taking her place, then why don't you resent him for being my legal son?" Dad asks. "It wasn't your fault my Mom or Rory's Mom didn't tell you and give you the option of marrying them, I won't hold that Lioness being his mother against Jamie either" I say. "Besides, we're your legal sons too, you adopted both of us" I say. "Well, you are, but he's my legitimate son" Dad says. I'm not happy. "Like it's my fault you didn't marry my Mom, she died still loving you and you promised to take care of me, and you just put a roof over my head and ignored me." I snort. Dad looks hurt. He really did love my Mom and he's told me how hard he fought my Grandfather to marry her. And I think he's aware that he hasn't been very good to me. But I have no idea how I've failed him too. I've tried a bit, but not done as much as I should of to get close to him. (After a lot of pain and struggle we'll finally become as close as we both really want to.)

"It's all up to you, if you don't want us here, just say so and we'll leave, but you'd really be hurting Jamie" I say. Rory's here now. "It's gonna be for good, if we go, you'll have chosen that bitch over your sons." Rory says angrily. "I will find a way to keep seeing Jamie even if we do go" I say softly. "Don't make me do this, to choose between you and her and hurting Jamie" Dad says. "We won't have made you do anything, Claude's been polite despite her bad attitude,, and we've both tried to avoid her but she's made this an issue, we didn't " Rory says angrily. "Dad, you've never stuck up for us with her, not even once, she treats us badly and you act like nothing happened." I say firmly. Dad looks like I just slapped him. "Claude, I think we need to go and go soon" Rory says. Dad's crying but when I reach out for him to console him he moves away from me. Fine, again I tried and again he turned away from me. I'm even madder now.(If I had of hugged him, he'd of broken down and cried, but he'd of been all over me too. He would have been unable to refrain from throwing me down and fucking me. And I sure as Hell wouldn't have stopped him.)

"You never tried beyond the first few days to get to know me, she wouldn't let you, and you just didn't try to get close to me at all." I say. "I'd of been out of here years ago, except for Jamie" I snort. Dad looks so sad. "You'll break his heart if you two leave" Dad says. "Like you care if I live here or not, I'm still surprised you didn't drown me like the unwanted pet you see me as" I snort. He's mad now. "I'd love to hear how you'll explain this to Jamie, he knows she wants us out, he told me so" I say softly. "He knows how she hates us, Dad" Rory says angrily."He's begged us to stay here with him, Mr Kitman" I say sourly.

Mrs Kitman comes out to the kitchen. "Congratulations, we'll leave, but know I'm going to come back and see Jamie, Rory and I love him" I say. "You win, bitch, you've split our Dad away from us and I hope you can live with it" Rory snarls. I run out of the room. I take my cell and I call the Condo office. I arrange with Joe to buy it. Rory comes in in a while. "She told Dad we'd slept together too" Rory says angrily. "Fuck him" I say. "I just had Joe buy the Condo" I say. "We can move in on Monday" I say. "What do we tell Jamie?" Rory asks. "He knows, he told me his Mom wanted us out, and I told him we'd try to stay if we could" I say.

It's a long weekend. Rory stays in his room packing up and I stay in mine doing the same. I go talk to Jamie and he understands. His mom told him already and she painted it as we didn't love him after all. But he's too smart for that. He knows we love him and I promise to come back when I can. Though he knows I'm busy with school too. (We text and email a lot, and manage to stay close)

Sunday night comes and we get the keys and take a lot of our things to the Condo. Edward has had a cousin sent to tend us. His Cousin Alfred looks a lot like him. He should have it easy, two college students in a 6 bedroom condo. Rory and I aren't sleeping together. We do on occasions but not regularly. Alfred gets the place furnished on Monday. Good thing because I have a rotation that starts on Tuesday.

I meet my best friend on my first rotation. An English born Badger,Nigel Davenport. He misses his family and we get him to move in with us. The condo is only blocks from the hospital. Rory's busy with his MBA studies as Nige and I are busy with our rotations.

Life becomes a blur of training and life. I manage to see Jamie when I can and we chat by IM frequently. I've heard from Joe on occasions. He'll come by and rut me at times. He's so good with that fat, Black Feline dick. I've met a few other guys to come fuck, but nothing beyond that. Rory's dating a lot too, but no one serious.

Dad has reconciled with Rory but not me, he hasn't tried with me like he did Rory. He begged him to come home as well.. I don't care anymore or so I think. We haven't spoken at all since the night Rory and I left his house.

When I graduate as a Physician, I invite him to the ceremony, but he doesn't come. I guess I am really an orphan now. I have Joe change my name back and my MD license reads Dr Claude Jacobs. When I do, Rory disapproves of it. But he knows why I made up my mind and did it. I know he told my sperm donor that I did it. He loves me as he has since we met. As his brother only, we don't fuck anymore after I changed my name.(Rory understands why I did it, but he thinks I shouldn't have. When Dad and I finally reconcile, they both beg me to take Dad's name back. I do for a while.)

Nigel and I open an office together along with our Med School mentor. He got outed in our last year of training. Dr Vladimir Breshnikov, a Russian emigre. And he's a huge Russian born Grizzly Bear. He's a brilliant Doctor and a hot Bear. He bonds Nigel the night we finish our training and moves into the condo with us all. They're a very happy couple and Nigel helps me sort my somewhat crazy life. And Vlad is so good to me. Mentor, friend, sometimes lover and he tries to help me so much with my feelings. (He treats me like I wish Dad would. But I am not conscious of that right now)

Rory's bonded a hot Grizzly of his own. His Teddy Mitchell runs a gay bar about a mile from the condo. The Bear Den. Teddy's a great guy. Rory is now working for Dad as his COO. CMK will be his one day. But my brother spends as much time with his Bear at his bar while he works it as he can. Teddy's easy going and a pretty happy soul. They went to dinner one night at Dad's house, and Teddy doesn't like Mrs Kitman either. She was rude to him and very dismissive. Leaving Rory in a rage and causing them to leave early.
