Chapter Fifteen

After breakfast, when Shawn and Seto were doing the dishes, Ethan was sitting in the living room with the kids and they were practicing their reading when the phone rang and it was Roland.

“Hello how is everything there?” Roland asked.

Ethan smiled as he heard his brother’s voice and he told him, “Everything is going quite well, how are things going there?”

Roland sighed and then he said, “Mokuba would like Seto to call him; he really wants to talk to his brother.”

Ethan knew what Mokuba was going through since he went through the same thing when he told Roland that he was gay. “I’ll let Seto know and hopefully he will find it in himself to realize that if he doesn’t back down that he’ll lose the only real family that he has.” Ethan said.

Roland knew what Ethan was talking about and he said, “May I talk to Seto, I’ll let him know that Mokuba wants to talk to him and maybe I can get through to him.”

Ethan smiled and he said, “I’ll have Kelly go get him. He is helping Shawn do the dishes.”

Roland knew from staying there that everyone did their share when it came to eating or just plain having chores to do. Suddenly he heard Seto’s voice, “Roland, is anything wrong?”

“No, Mokuba wants to talk to you, and Seto please don’t be a stupid as I was because of my ignorance, I nearly lost the only real family I had.”

Seto had tears running down his face, he listened to what Roland was saying, and then he told him, “I’ll call Mokie after my chores and I promise to keep a cool head, and Roland thanks for being there for us, I love you with all my heart.”

Roland wiped away the tears that fell down his face and he told Seto, “I love you both you boys and I always will.”

Seto hung up the phone, he turned and looked at Ethan, and the look in Seto’s eyes nearly broke Ethan’s heart. “Kelly, please go ask Dada to come here.” He asked his daughter.

Shawn came out of the kitchen and when he saw the sorrow and fear in Seto’s eyes he went over and said to Ethan, “Why don’t you take Seto outside, I’ll help Kelly and Kyle with their reading.”

Seto and Ethan walked outside and Seto went over to a tree and he doubled up his fist and he hit the tree as hard as he could and he said, “Why, why did my brother have to change, why couldn’t he stay the way he was suppose to?”

Ethan walked over to Seto and he said, “I want to tell you something, Mokuba didn’t wake up one day and say, I’m going to be a homosexual to screw up my brother’s life, like me and thousand others, and he was born that way.

I don’t know why, but it just is. All I can tell you is to look deep down inside yourself and try to understand what he’s going through and just maybe you’ll find a way to let him know that just because he’s different doesn’t mean that you don’t love him.”

Seto turned and looked at Ethan and he said, “It’s not that I don’t love him, it’s the fact that he’s living with another man and I don’t think that I’ll ever be able to accept that.”

Ethan then told Seto something that he had never told Shawn. “When I first told Roland that I was gay, well he blew a gasket and well things were said by both of us and it really put a wedge between us that took years to break down. When we finally talked, Roland told me that he would always love me, but he could never accept the fact that I was sleeping and having sex with another man.

It wasn’t until Shawn and I got together and we got married, Roland came to me and he told me that he was going to try to accept us, but it was going to take a long time. Then when we wanted to adopt our children and we were told that “fags” would never be able to adopt children, it was Roland who helped us, and he fought hard to get people to understand that just because we were different didn’t mean that we couldn’t love a child.

Finally, he found an adoption center in Tokyo that would talk to us and when we found out that there was a set of twins, a little boy and little girl that needed a home, we asked if we could try adopting them. The man in charge told us that the little ones were the babies of a woman who was addicted to heroin and that they were very sick.

When Shawn and I saw these little ones, we knew that they were going to be our children and so with Roland’s help we were able to adopt our children. It was a very rocky start because of their addiction to the drug, but with the help from a very wonderful nurse, we finally got them weaned off the drug and well you’ve seen how beautiful and smart they are. So please give your brother a chance to show you that just because he’s different he’s still your brother and always will be.”

Seto wiped the tears from his face and he said, “Roland was right when he sent me here, he knew if I was to change I would have to understand that just because my brother is different from me that it doesn’t make him any less of a man.”

Ethan then did something that took Seto completely by surprise, he hugged him and he said, “You’ve grown since you’ve been here and I know that Roland is so proud of you for wanting to accept your brother and to try to understand his life style. I know that Shawn and I are equally proud of you and we want you to accept our offer to become a part of our family, if you want.”

Seto smiled and then he said, “I love to be part of your family. Can I use your phone to call my brother?”

Ethan shook his hand and they walked back into the house and Ethan handed Seto the phone, and he smiled as he watched him walk to his room.

Ethan went and sat down next to Shawn and he said, “He’s going to be just fine.”


In Domino:

Mokuba and Joey were waking up when the phone rang, and when Mokuba answered it, he heard his brother’s voice.

“Mokuba, I love you.” Seto said.

Joey felt Mokie’s body tense up and he immediately thought that something bad had happened. He sat up next to Mokuba and then he heard Mokie say in a tearful voice, “I love you too Seto.”

Joey smiled, because he knew that maybe this would be the start of the two brothers getting back together. Joey knew that Seto would probably never accept him in his brother’s life, and he knew that it would cause the two to be at odds, but as long as they were willing to talk then maybe one day Seto would finally accept them being together.

Seto took a deep breath, and then he said, “I know what you wanted to talk to me about, and I’m really trying hard to understand, and I’m beginning to understand about you being gay, but Mokuba I don’t know if I’ll ever be comfortable with knowing that you’re living with another man.

I know that Wheeler and I haven’t ever seen eye to eye on anything, but I do know that he loves you and will never do anything to hurt you. I really do love you and I always will, but please give me time to get use to you and Wheeler being together, don’t try to get me to change over night, because it will never work.”

Mokuba had tears running down his face as he listened to what Seto said, and then in a tearful voice Mokie said, “Seto, that’s all I ever wanted you to do, and I’ll give you all the time you need because I love you and always will.”

“How is Ethan, Shawn and the kids?” Mokuba asked.

Seto said, “Roland was right to have me come here and stay with them, it’s really made me open my eyes as to how narrow minded I’ve been about everything, and I just love their kids.”

Mokuba smiled as he listened to his brother and then he asked him, “When are you going to come home?”

Seto took a deep breath and then he told Mokuba, “I’m going to stay here for a little while longer, and then I’ll really need to talk to a professional and find out why I’ve been so angry, and then I’ll be able to come home.

I really want us to be brothers again, and I know that it will be a long journey, but I also know that it’ll be one of enlightenment and that in the end I pray that we’ll be able to talk to one another and who knows, I might even be able to accept you being with Joey.”

Before Seto hung up he said, “Tell Joey that I said hi.” Then the phone went dead. Mokuba sat there with tears running down his face, Joey pulled him into his arms, and he said, “What’s wrong?”

Mokuba looked at Joey through his tears and he told him, “Seto’s trying to understand about me and you and I’m so proud of him, Joey he said to tell you hi.”

They lay there together holding onto each other as tears ran down their faces. Maybe soon all of them can sit down and talk.
