My name is Tom and I live alone in a Midwestern Suburb. I lost my wife to Cancer several years back and just never saw the point in trying to start over again with someone else. I was married for over 25 years and got pretty much set in my ways and didn't figure to find someone who could be comfortable with me, and frankly someone I would want to be around all the time.
I just turned 50, and was partially retired. I had worked most of my adult life, but in the last 10 years I had started a little company that grew very quickly, and instead of taking to the next level, sold it to large conglomerate, and made more than enough money to live out the rest of my life. I did a couple days a week as a consultant to my old customers, just to keep my hand in the business.
We had one son, Danny, who we put through school until he graduated with a science degree, but as is the way of this younger generation, when he went looking for a job, they were hard to come by, and ones that were available he wasn't interested in.
He met a young woman at the university and got married, against us and her parents approval. We felt it would have been better to wait until after graduation and getting a job, of course they knew better and rushed in.
Since graduating 3 years ago, and living in some small low rent apartments, and scraping by, my son has started working as a long haul trucker. Some use of his science degree. But in the mean time he and our Daughter in law got pregnant and gave us our first grand child, a boy named Chad.
My Daughter in law Camila, didn't finish her degree as she left after she and my son got married. Her Parents lived about 200 miles away, so they didn't get to visit all that often, and since they were not in favor of the marriage didn't see the need to support them.
During this time unknown by us, my wife was getting sick and she eventually died from Breast Cancer only 6 months after she first found a lump. It was a very hard time for me, and I couldn't be emotionally available to my son and his family for a couple of years.
One night I was up reading late as I normally do, and my phone rang.
Camila: in a whisper "Papa, (she called me Papa) I am sorry to be calling so late, but Danny is on the road and I heard a noise and I am afraid someone might be breaking in."
I immediately put my kindle down and got out of bed.
Tom: "Cami just to be safe, go get Chad and get in the bathroom and lock the door. I will be over there in 20 minutes. Take your phone with you and we can talk while I come over."
Camila: "OK, Thanks Papa. I have got Chad, but I still hear something at my door, I am going to my bathroom now and I have the door Locked."
I got dressed as quick as possible and reached in my night stand and opened my gun safe and took out my 9 just in case.
Tom: "You are doing great, stay calm, keep Chad quiet, and stay down in your tub. This will be the safest place."
I was breaking every speed limit, but the gods were with me, as I didn't get pulled over. I arrived in 18 minutes and raced up the three flights of stairs. When I got to their door, there was no one there, but I did see marks on their lock like someone had tried to pick them. I had made them put in a deadbolt when they moved in, which of course meant I put in the deadbolt for them.
Since I still had Camila on the phone I told Her I was at the front door.
Tom: "Cami I am here and there is no one at the door."
I heard the lock being thrown and saw Camila peeking out around the frame. The Door swung open and Camila with Chad in her arms rushed to me and were pressed tightly against my chest.
I held on to her tightly, trying best to calm her down. Chad must have felt her stress as he was getting very fidgety and looking like he was going to cry. Even though he wasn't quite one yet, he seemed to understand that Mom was scared and very tense.
I took him from Camila's arms and held him high, and brought him back for a Furbert which I knew would make him laugh. (A furbert is like a Raspberry blown against a Cheek or Stomach). With Chad now relaxed in Grandpapa's arms, Cami still held tightly to me as we went back into her apartment.
We sat down and I tried to get Camila to talk about what was going on.
Camila: "Danny is on the road every week and since I didn't finish school I can't get aqjob, because any job I get will cost more in daycare than I would make. Plus, Danny doesn't want me to work, and I am not comfortable leaving Chad with strangers."
Tom: "Trust me I understand, we were in the same situation when we had Dan, twenty-five years ago. We were often broke living paycheck to paycheck, and felt like all our salary was going to a mortgage and daycare. It is absolutely not easy, but we survived."
Camila: "I know we can do it, but with Dan gone all the time and living in this neighborhood is very scary. I rarely leave the apartment and even then I am worried where ever I go."
Tom: "I know Dan wants to do everything himself, but sometimes people need help, at least starting off. I tell you what, how about for tonight, you come home with me, and we will get you and Chad set up in the guest bedroom and make you a nice breakfast and discuss this in the daylight, what we can do about your family's immediate future."
Camila was so relieved that she again wrapped herself onto her Father in law.
Now I know I am not supposed to think these things, but Cami was very beautiful when she married my son. With Classic Latina features, Long Black shiny hair well past her shoulders. Dark Smoldering eyes, that I hated myself, because I found them so GodDamned Sexy. High Cheekbones, and a golden brown complexion. When she married, she was slim, with perky breasts and what is called a tight ass. She is not very tall, maybe 5'2", but at the time probably weighed no more than 110.
Since she had her baby, Cami has rounded in many ways. She still has the same very beautiful Latina features, but she had gained some weight. Her Breasts were larger, she butt was rounder and she hadn't lost all the baby weight around her waist. Now maybe it was because I hadn't been with a woman in several years, but she was the epitome of womanhood. I felt extremely guilty as she wrapped herself in my arms and I felt her big beautiful breasts press tightly into my chest. I kissed her on the top of her head as I held her, but knowing I really wanted to strip her naked and devour her until she screamed.
Camila: "Yes, I would like that very much!" she whispered. Almost too choked up to talk.
So We packed up some clothes for Chad and she packed a bag for herself, while I played blocks with my grandson. Then we were off.
Upon arriving home, I brought them down to my basement and to the guest room.
