Chapter 02.2

Janet moved up the small set of stairs and stood next to him looking at the beautiful scenery and other boats. She felt his hand move around her waist and then his face lean towards hers. Their lips came together and parted.

More kissing erupted and even some touches down to her butt on the way out to the gulf. By the time they were mostly out of sight from the main land both were already hot and really bothered. He turned off the motors and moved down to set the anchor. When he turned around she was smiling.

"Do you want to go for a swim?"

"Maybe later," she said taking deeper breaths.

Allan moved to the small door leaning downstairs. "After you."

Once inside she checked everything out. "This is nice."

He moved to the soft bench seat and pulled on a strap causing it to slide out until a bed appeared. "In case we want to take a nap."

"I'm not sleepy," she giggled. She moved into his arms and offered him her lips and her body.

The movie had been out a while so it wasn't very crowded. He led her to the back row and both sat as they waited to see if anyone else would come their way. Finally when the room became dark and no one was coming their way he pulled her lips to his. Neither saw the coming attractions or the first ten minutes of the movie.

Finally Ellen came up for air. "The movie started and we should watch some of it in case they ask us what is it about."

"You watch," he grinned. As she looked forward he kissed and licked her neck and ear.

"That's not fair," she whispered. She managed to keep her eyes on the screen until his mouth moved down over her chest to the top of her top. Not even Todd had kissed her nipples. "Danny."

He smiled before pulling the left cup down and away from her wonderful perfectly formed breast and light pink tip. He had never kissed a nipple before so it was trial and error. But in this case there was no error.

"Danny," she whispered again. She had never imagined how wonderful someone sucking on her nipple would be. She didn't think it would get any better until his left hand moved to her knee and then swiftly under her skirt. "Danny."

Neither of them knew that another couple had joined them in the back row and could see Danny's lips on her hard nip. Both were in their own private world especially when his index finger pulled her panties allowing his middle finger to once again find and play with her clitty.

"Oh you learn fast," she gasped as her legs opened wider and wider.

A loud explosion on the movie caused Danny to lift his head and look. He saw the other couple near them and quickly pulled up her blouse before removing his fingers from her sex.

"Please," she begged.

"We have company," he whispered.

"Shit," she said as he moved back to his seat. They watched the movie wishing that they were still back in her bed.

"I'm nervous," Janet said after removing her shirt and pushing down her shorts. She stood in her new Victoria Secrets boy shorts panties and semi-cup white lace bra.

"It's been a while for me too," he said removing his shorts and shirt. He sat on the edge of the bed and reached over to pull down her panties. His eyes followed the lacy waistband over her neatly trimmed brown bush and the completely shaven lips.

Janet reached back and pulled off her bra and tossed it on the floor. Her hands cupped his head when it moved forward enabling his lips to kiss her navel and then lower into her soft pubic mound. When his tongue dashed into her dripping slit she moaned.

"Allan...I'm too weak to stand."

He grinned and stood while she moved onto her back and parted her legs. He pushed off his boxers and saw her smile. As he started to move back down and continue the oral assault she grabbed his arm and pulled his face down to hers. She guided him between her legs and aimed his thick cock into her need. "I've thought about this moment for so long."

"Me too," he whispered pushing the crown into her tightness.

"It's been so long," she said feeling the tears about to flow.

Allan pushed four more inches inside and heard her soft cries. "Are you OK?"

"Yes," she laughed. "It feels so good."

Allan sighed and lowered the remainder into her depths. Her bare legs wrapped around his hips and she held on as he slowly fucked her.

"Oh give it to me," she begged. "Harder...give me more!"

Allan gritted his teeth and did his best to keep calm. His head dipped to suckle her right nipple while his hips moved forcefully but not enough to hurt her.

Janet thought of her ex-husband for a second but quickly erased her mind feeling her man's cock pushing in and out over and over.

"Janet...I'm getting...close," he said hoping that she was as ready.

"Me too Allan........NOW!"

"AH.......AH.......AH.......AH......AH!" She screamed each time he bottomed out. "I'M CUMING!"

"OHHHH!" He yelled when his hot spunk filled her deep void.

"I think I've had enough of this movie," Ellen said still excited from having her nipple sucked on.

He grinned as they stood and moved down the dark steps. They hurried to his car and as soon as their doors closed their lips met. They frenched for a minute and then she pushed his head down over her chin to her neck. He knew what she wanted. "So do you want me to kiss your button again?"

"It's more than a button," she laughed.

They heard someone laughing causing Danny to lift up. "We should go to your house."

Fifteen minutes later after slightly exceeding the speed limit they pulled up to Ellen's house. "Beat you inside."

Danny raced to catch her and finally did after she opened the door. They crashed down onto the hard wood floor and immediately locked their arms and legs.

Danny found himself on the bottom and her sitting across his waist. Both grinned as she grabbed the bottom of her blouse and with one quick motion pulled it up and off.

He was frozen not able to more or even blink. They were more than magnificent. It was like seeing the Grand Canyon for the first time. "Jesus."

"Are you going to call them buttons again?"

He shook his head. "Never."

"You can touch them if you want." She felt his hard-on pressing up against her butt.

"Don't squeeze too hard," he thought as he softly touched them.

She giggled. "They won't break." He lightly closed his hand and she moaned. "Ohhh."

He toyed with her big buttons and caressed the softness before she leaned over putting her hands next to his head. He saw her upper body dropping and leaned up slightly to capture and again suckle her hard cherry tip.

"Danny...we are going too...fast."

He pulled his mouth back. "Do you want to stop?"

"No!" She pulled his hot lips and tongue back while offering the other orb.

Back and forth he moved giving both a lot of attention until they heard the doorbell. "OH GOD GET UP!" He cried not wanting to be caught sucking on Dr. Brand's daughter's titties. He helped her find and put on her blouse as the door bell rang again.

"Are you ready?" She asked as she tip-toed to the door and peeked out. "Shit."

"What? Who is it?"

"It's my Grandma."

Ellen turned and saw that he was still hard. "Pull your shirt out."

Danny did as she said and covered the front of his pants the best he could. "Ok."

Ellen opened the door. "Grandma."

"Hi baby," Shirley Brand smiled. She pulled her in for a hug until she saw Danny standing behind her. "Who is this?'

"Grandma this is my boyfriend Danny."

"Hello young man," Shirley said looking serious. "Are you two here alone? Where is your father?"

Danny looked at Ellen for help.

"He is actually out on a date," Ellen smiled. "Can you believe it?"

"Well I hope he does a better job than the last time. Who is this hussy he is out with now?"

"Uh..she's not a hussy," Ellen said not sure what a hussy was. "Her name is Janet and..."

"She's my mother," Danny finished getting upset with the older grey-haired woman.

Shirley smiled and walked ahead of them into the house. "This is getting good. So my son is dating your boyfriend's mother. So if they marry you will be dating your brother. I need a drink."

Ellen took Danny's hand while the woman headed to the wet bar and pulled out a bottle of whiskey. "Don't let her get to you. She likes to get under people's skin."

"What are you doing here?" Ellen asked.

She took a big gulp of straight whiskey. "Can't I just come and see my son and granddaughter? Why do I need another reason?"

"Grandma."

"Oh ok, when is your father getting home? I need to talk to both of you."

"Oh God! You're not sick are you?" Ellen moved over to hug her but she pushed her away.

"Hell no. I feel great." She looked at Danny and smiled. "You know you really found a cute one."

Danny blushed. "Thank you Ma'am."

"Where is your father? Are your parent's divorced too?"

Ellen gasped and looked at Danny. "Grandma...it's none of your business." She saw the hurt look on Danny's face as he turned and walked out the front door.

"His father is dead."

"Shit...I did it again," Shirley said as she sat on the bar stool.

Ellen caught him about half-way down the block. "Danny wait!"

"I'm ok," he said before turning and facing her. "She's right. If our parents get married I'll be your step brother."

"I don't care," she said feeling the tears about to flow again. She grabbed his arm but he pulled back and took off walking away.

"Danny.." she said too softly for him to hear her. "I love you too."

Allan and Janet made love once more on the boat and didn't get their swim suits wet. They made it back at nine and he dropped her off. "I should go and check on the kids. Even though we trust them you know how teenagers are."

"I feel like a teenager again," Janet said as they hugged at her front door. "I loved our day together."

"It's going to be tough seeing you every day and not being able to kiss and touch you," he whispered. They kissed one more time and he took off for home. When he pulled into his driveway he saw Danny's car and another car he recognized. "Oh shit."

"Grandma is inside," Ellen said to him when he walked up to her sitting on the front steps.

He could see that she had been crying. "What's going on?"

"Grandma's big mouth caused Danny to take off down the street."

"Do you want me to go and get him?"

"He'll be back. She asked about his father."

He leaned over and hugged her. "If I'm not out in five minutes call the cops."

Allan moved into the house and saw his mom sitting at the bar facing away.

"Hello Allan."

"You did it again Mom," he said. "I thought you stopped drinking."

"First one I've had this week," she said turning and facing her oldest son. "How are the young ones?"

"Well she's crying and he's missing. Are you happy now?"

"I'm sorry about that but I had to see you."

He moved next to her. "What's wrong?"

"I'm ok but I had a visitor a few days ago and thought that you two needed to know about it." He knew right away. "Maria."

"She's moving back to town Allan."

"Ah shit," he cursed. "I hoped that she stayed away until Ellen went off to college. Why is she moving back now?"

"She wants to see Ellen before she goes away to college and maybe spend some time to get to know her again."

Ellen leaned against the wall in the hallway with her sad face turning to anger. She heard enough.

"I NEVER WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN!"

Shirley and Allen turned quickly. "Ellen you don't have to." He said.

"I HATE HER!"

Allan watched his daughter run up the stairs and heard her door slam.

Shirley took another drink. "That went over well."

Danny turned around and was on his way back when he saw Dr. Brand's car pull into the driveway. He moved to house and saw Ellen move inside. As he walked to the entrance he heard her screaming.

"What's wrong?" He asked Dr. Brand who was standing at the foot of the stairs looking up.

"You might want to go home. I don't think you can help right now."

Danny looked at the older lady who held up her whiskey glass and smiled. He frowned and turned to walk outside. Outside he called Ellen's cell phone but she didn't answer.

Thirty minutes later.

"GO AWAY!" She yelled to whoever was tapping on her door.

"Ellen it's me," Buttons said. The small girl stood by the door until it cracked open.

"Is it just you?"

"Yes."

Ellen let her in and immediately closed the door behind her. "Did my daddy call you?"

"No Danny did."

Ellen moved and lay back on her bed. "Things are so messed up. Everything was going so great and then...then..."

"What happened?"

"My mother is moving back to town and wants to get to know me again."

"No way."

Ellen nodded. "Is Danny ok? My grandmother asked him about his father and then made a comment that we could be brother and sister if our parents hook up."

"He's just worried about you."

"He told me that he thinks he's falling in love with me," Ellen sighed. "I should be the happiest person alive and all it does is make me scared."

"Things will work out," Buttons said as she leaned over and hugged her best friend.

"Oh, I uh...I told Danny where you got your name from."

"WHAT! Now you pissed me off girl!" Buttons jumped on top of her and pretended to smack at her head. When Ellen stopped laughing Buttons moved away. They both looked up at the ceiling.

"So are you going to see her?"

"No...I mean I don't think I can without yelling and screaming at her."

Buttons again turned and hugged her bud.

Janet saw that Danny was upset about something. She heard him call someone and over heard him say that Ellen was upset. After he hung up she moved into the living room next to him. "What's going on?"

Danny sighed. "Ellen's grandmother came and asked about dad and then commented that if you marry Dr. Brand that we would be brother and sister."

"Sorry baby," she said sitting next to him and rubbing his head. "I thought it would be easier to move away from Germany and the Army."

"Are you going to marry Dr. Brand?"

"I'm not planning on it," she said. "And if it even comes up you will have to give your permission first."

"Good," he smiled. "It's been a long day. I'm going to bed."

"I love you baby."

"I love you too mom."

Danny was brushing his teeth when he heard his cell phone ring. He saw Ellen's caller ID. "Hi."

"It's me Buttons."

"Is she OK?"

"Not really but she wanted me to call and make sure you are alright."

"Can I talk to her?"

"She's in the shower. She found out from her grandmother that her mother is moving back to town and wants to see her again."

"Oh no."

"I know," Buttons said not hearing the bathroom door open or Ellen's footsteps. A wet hand took the phone from her.

"I'm sorry about what happened. My grandmother is really a nice person most of the time."

"I'm OK," he said. "Are you?"

"No, did you tell him?" Ellen looked and saw her friend nod.

"I wish I could be with you," he said. "When you are sad I'm sad."

She smiled. "I'll see you on Monday. My grandma, dad and I have some talking to do tomorrow."

"Good night."

"Good night," she responded. After hearing the click she whispered. "I love you too."

After his mom gave him Maria's phone number the next morning Allan called before Ellen woke up.

"Hello?"

"Maria it's me."

"I wondered how long it would take you. How are you?"

"Please don't ask that," he said trying to stay calm.

"Will you tell me how Ellen is?"

"How do you think she is? Her mother who she loved so much leaves her and only sends a birthday card."

"I need to see her Allan. I have to try and explain."

"Can I hear it too?" he asked. "You walked out on me too."

There was a few seconds of silence. "We both knew that we were not in love. I couldn't live another minute like that."

"But Ellen.."

"I know that I screwed up months after missing her so much. But I couldn't return and face her after what I did. I did it for selfish reasons and hope to god that she can forgive me."

"I don't think she wants to. When Mother told her last night she became as mad as I've ever seen her. I advise you to stay away."

"I can't," Maria said with tears rolling down her cheeks. "I can't."

Allan hung up and sat down. Old memories came up both happy and sad.

It was later that morning that Janet received a call from Allan who invited Danny and her to dinner. "Don't worry my mother will be nice," he said looking at her sitting innocently across the table.

Dinner was quite nice and Shirley put in an extra effort to cook and serve a great meal. She saw Danny outside alone and walked up to him.

"Danny, I'm sorry about what I said yesterday. Sometimes my mouth works before my mind does."

"It's OK. I'm just having a hard time coping without my father around so when someone mentions him it hurts."

"You know my son has always wanted a son. I'm not saying that he could ever come close to filling your dad's shoes but I'm proud to say that he is a pretty nice guy."

"I know and he makes my mom happy."

"And she does the same for him. Can I ask you a favor?"

"Sure."

"Would you call me grandma? I really don't like to be called Mrs. Brand?"

"Sure Grandma," he grinned as he turned and hugged her. He glanced back at the house and saw Ellen smiling in the window.

The next week went by fairly quickly. Allan released Danny a few days early and the coach made him take it easy in practice.

"Well you have the choice of playing second or third," Coach Wright said to him after practice.

"As much as I was happy playing my father's position I'd rather play second."

"I was hoping you would say that. Also, I need to talk to you about what's going to happen when the rest of the world discovers that Josh Upton's kid is playing baseball."

"I don't understand."

Danny your father is a national hero. There probably hasn't been that great an act of patriotism in the US since...since I can't remember. The media will grab onto this story and not stop until you turn into as good a baseball player as your dad was."

Danny smiled. "My dad would be proud if I turned out to be as good as he was."

"Yeah any dad would be proud to have you as a son."

"Thanks coach for warning me but I think I can handle it now."

"A friend of mine who is a big league scout will be here in a few days to watch you during our first scrimmage. You don't have to talk to him if you don't want to."

"I'd like to meet anyone who is a friend of yours," Danny grinned. "I've got to meet someone. Can we talk more tomorrow?"

The coach turned and saw Ellen standing by the backstop. He laughed. "Sure."

"Hi," she smiled as he walked up to kiss her. "What was that all about?"

"He said that the media will go nuts when they find out about me. You know being Josh Upton's son and all."

"Was your dad famous?"

"We need to talk," he said. "Why don't we call our parents and tell them not to expect us for dinner?"

An hour later they sat on the Ellen Maria eating Chinese take-out. "I'll go first," she said. She put down the food and spent the next five minutes telling him how her mother just left one day. "And, now she wants to meet me again. I don't want to meet her."

"Maybe you should. I mean it's all built up inside of you and it bothers you a lot. Maybe you need to let it out even if it means telling her how much she hurt you and how much you hate her."

"I'm not sure if I can look at her again. She hurt me Danny. She hurt me a lot."

"I know." He put down his chopsticks and hugged her. "I'll be there for you."

She smiled and kissed him lightly. "Tell me about your father."

Danny sighed and sat back. "My dad was my life. I can't remember anytime that he was angry with me. I never even thought that he would go away from my life like he did. We were a team. No one can understand what we had. We could look into each others eyes and know what the other one was thinking. I was him and he was me." Danny stopped feeling himself getting choked up.

"They took him from me Ellen. My life stopped when his did. I refused to accept that he was dead until I saw the coffin covered with the flag." Danny's eyes opened up as she patted his back.

"It's ok," she said wiping her eyes. "Tell me everything."

"I quit after that. I didn't play baseball, hang with my friends, or even watch TV. I stayed in my room thinking about him and how much I missed him. It was months before I surfaced again. That's when Lisa came in."

He quickly turned and looked at her. "She made me realize that life continues to go on and that my family and my friends still loved me and wanted me back."

"I'm glad she brought you back," Ellen whispered. "If she didn't I wouldn't be in love like I am now."

Danny wiped his eyes and turned.

"I love you Danny. More than I could ever imagine loving anyone."

"Ellen."

She smiled as her lips moved to his. As they kissed tears fell from both sets of eyes. They both knew that the love they had for each other would get them through what lay ahead.

Danny and the rest of the team were surprised at the huge turnout for just a scrimmage game. The other team was the current state champs and had one of the biggest and fastest pitchers in the state. The Panther's had Jimmy Thompson who was also considered a top prospect pitching and Corey Storm who was being looked at by a few scouts.

Matt sat in the dugout as the two teams warmed up. "Danny come here a second."

Danny ran over and saw the man on the bench. "Yes sir?"

"Danny this is Jim Reynolds. He's the guy I told you about."

"Hello," Danny grinned. "I hope you didn't waste your time coming here."

"I'm sure my time is not wasted," Matt grinned. "How is the arm?"

"Better that before," Danny answered. "I've been working out with a physical therapist and she has made it even stronger."

"That's great," Jim grinned. "Just relax and play your game."

"Thank you sir. Nice to meet you."

Jim sat down. "His dad was the same way. Never said anything bad and always was nice to everyone."

Danny took the field and looked up into the bleachers at his mom sitting next to Dr. Brand. Next to him were Grandma Shirley, Ellen and Buttons. Corey moved next to him at second base as they played the National Anthem. After it was over Corey looked out at the opposing bullpen where the big right hander was throwing. "He likes to come inside with the fast ball and work the outside of the plate with his curve. But with lefthanders he only throws the hard stuff."

"I'll be ready," Danny grinned.

Jimmy struck the first batter out in three pitches and walked the second batter. The next batter was a lefty so Danny moved into the hole between second and first. After a few fouls Danny saw the ball flying off the bat over the pitchers mound. He took off like a shot and saw Corey coming the other way.

Since they had not played together Corey wasn't sure if Danny would cover second so he figured he would have to throw to first. He snagged the ball on the run and saw Danny's hand out. With a quick toss they exchanged the ball.

Danny had only done it once but he remembered it. He grabbed the ball from Corey barehanded and with two large steps touched second base while turning completely around in mid-air to fire the ball to first. His throw beat the runner by a half-step.

"Holy shit," Jim gasped as he quickly stood up in the stands behind the dugout. He picked up his phone and called Yankee Stadium.

The fans were silent at first still trying to believe what they had just seen. It was Janet who stood up and shouted, "That's my BOY!" Suddenly the whole Panther bleachers stood and yelled.

"Where did you learn that?" Corey asked as they ran back to the dugout.

"Learn what?" Danny asked.

Two other scouts were in the stands watching Corey, Jimmy and the other team's pitcher Brad Givens. They picked up their programs and searched for the second baseman's name.

"Who the fuck is Danny Upton?" the one scout asked the other one.

"I got a feeling that we are about to find out."

"Daddy do you know that Danny's father was a really good baseball player?"

"Yeah baby he was one of my favorite players." He held her hand knowing that all of their lives were going to change once the newspapers find out about Danny.

Danny was up third with Corey behind him. Brad Given's struck out the first two Panthers on called third strikes so when Danny walked up he smiled at the big right hander. The pitcher didn't smile back.

"Get a single Danny!" Buttons screamed.

Ellen smacked her arm. "Not a single. A HIT!"

"Aren't they the same?" Buttons asked.

"Yes but we want a bigger hit like a home run."

"HIT A HOME RUN DANNY!"

Danny took the first pitch which was a 90 mile an hour fast ball down the middle. "STEE...RIKE!" The ump yelled.

"Did you see that one?" The smart-ass chubby catcher asked.

Danny kept his focus like his father taught him. "Watch the ball hit the bat," he thought. He knew that he would be coming in again with some heat so he dug in and readied himself.

The catcher put up his mitt to catch the hard fast one but it didn't make it there. The stadium rang from the crack of the ball on Danny's bat. He went with the ball coming down the middle and drove it back over the pitcher's head.

Ellen followed the ball out over second base and lost it in the sun. She saw the centerfielder heading back to the wall. "OH GOD! GO OUT!"

Danny thought it was out as he rounded first base but saw the tall player jump high over the fence. The white ball fell onto the glove but Danny didn't slow down.

"He dropped it," Coach Wright said standing up. "Shit, he's going to third!"

Danny headed to third and saw the third base coach waving him around. He didn't miss a step as the third base became history. He saw the catcher blocking the plate and saw the catcher reach up high to snag the ball. He slid as the catcher was coming down and managed to hook his left foot around the catcher's foot.

"SAFE!" The umpire screamed.

YEAH!" Grandma Shirley screamed. "Kick their asses Danny!"

"Ma sit down," Allan said looking around.

"He just hit a ball 350 feet and scored an inside of the park home run," Jim said into his cell phone. "I think I just found Jeter's replacement."

Danny ran back to the dugout and smacked high fives with his teammates. He hugged the coach and looked out the third base line at a person leaning against the fence. "Shit."

Todd Jenkins stood looking back at him. Todd smiled and gave him thumbs up.

Corey was up next and lined out to the left fielder. For the rest of the game the two pitchers dug in and managed to keep the score the same. Danny got a single in the fifth inning but was stranded on second after stealing the base. It was the top of the last inning with a player on third and one out when the batter hit a soft fly ball down the right field line. It looked like it was going to drop in until Danny dove and caught it before it hit the ground.

The runner on third raced back to the bag and tagged up. He took off as Danny jumped and turned. The ball was a perfect strike to the catcher who turned and smiled as the runner slid into his mitt. Again the fans went wild and Corey smacked Danny on the back as he ran back to his position.

Jimmy struck out the last batter and the team ran in to congratulate him for pitching a shutout. But the hitting star of the game was Danny with two hits, a walk and an inside-the-park home run. After a talk from the coach Danny headed to the group of fans and family behind the dug out. Ellen jumped into his arms as Janet waited her turn. Ellen whispered in his ear and then he did the same to her.

Danny moved to his mother and she whispered as well. "I love you too baby."

"Me too Ma." Danny hugged Buttons and shook Dr. Brand's hand. They all turned and headed towards the parking lot when Dr. Brand and Ellen stopped suddenly.

"What the hell?" Allan gasped.

"What's she doing here?" Ellen stared.

"Who is it?" Janet whispered to Buttons.

"It's Ellen's mom."

A very young blonde-haired boy stood next to her holding her hand
