Author's Chapter Notes:

Sam learns some startling things about his past.

----- Thursday

I had gone into work yesterday. Everyone seemed to be snickering at my shorter stature. I was going to be part of a new project, but I was thinking about that other job offer. I didn't let on.

The other company that made me the offer for a new job was a very large government contractor and had lots to offer that I just couldn't get here. I looked them up on the Internet. There was bad as well as good reports, but I figure it's more likely for someone to post something bad rather then good, right? I got a good feeling about them.

Today however, I was working from home. I did take a little time finishing up the clearance paperwork. There's a lot to fill out but I also needed to find some information, as well as my birth certificate, from my parents. I'd need to get in touch with Mom and Dad.

"Erin! What time do you go to work today?", I yelled.

"I'm off today."

"Good. When does Dad get home from work?"

She came walking into the office nude, except for a towel on her head; she just finished showering. She was looking pretty sexy leaning on the desk with one leg up.

"Around 5:00, usually. Sometimes he stays real late."

She was distracting so there was a pause before I asked, "Do you have his work number?"

"Yeah. You want to call him?"

"I'm not sure I should bother him at work."

"What for?"

"I need some stuff from home."

"I could get it."

"No, I don't think you can. I need to some information about Mom and Dad and I need my birth certificate."

"I don't think he'll mind if you called him."

"Ok. What's his number?"

I had never called Dad at work before. He was a little surprised, but I could tell he was happy. I asked stuff about him and Mom: birth dates and places, where they went to school, things like that. I asked if they had my birth certificate too. He confirmed they did and I asked him to pick it up for me.

He wanted to know what all of this was about and I just told him that I wanted a new job and needed the information for the application. He thought it was a little strange but went along with it anyway. We said goodbye, but not after arranging for me come over that night to pick up my birth certificate.

"You want me to pick up the birth certificate from Dad for you?", Erin asked.

"I was thinking I'd take you all out to dinner: Dad, you and me."

"That'a a great idea, Sam. Let's do it."

"We'll ask Dad tonight and see if he's up to it."

"What if Mom wants to come?"

"I don't know. Frankly, I doubt she would.", I said.

"She'd be with Dad."

"Whatever. If she has to come, she has to come. But it probably won't be fun."

"I understand. You know we have a whole day today before we need to do any of that. The two of us could have some fun."

"I have work to do, Erin."

"You could work naked."

"I could. What're you planning on doing today?"

"Can I go out the garage and hang on the inversion table?"

I laughed. "Sure. Just be careful."

"Do you ever hang on it, Sam?"

"Yes. But I'm just getting back to exercising again. I'm planning on going out there later today. I'd like to go for a run today too."

"You still running?"

"I'm trying to get back into it. It's not as easy. I get out of breath a lot sooner and my route seems to have gotten longer."

"Do you suppose it's because you're smaller?"

"I hope not, but maybe you're right."

"Did the doctor say how small you're going to shrink?"

"No. I'm going to see some people about a new treatment next week. I'm hoping it's going to stop the shrinking."

"As small as you were to begin with, well, this is just the worst thing that could have happened."

"No, it's not. But, yeah, it's still pretty bad."

"Thanks for letting me stay with you, Sam."

"Erin, I couldn't let you stay there with Mom."

"And thanks for bringing me to work and letting me use your car."

"We're planning on getting a new car for Julie soon. I'd like to keep the pickup and you're welcome to drive it. But it's not the best vehicle to drive."

"I'll love it. Believe me, it's better than nothing."

"I can't drive it anymore anyway."

"What's wrong?"

"I can't reach the pedals and see out the window."

"Oh." She didn't expect that. "Are you going to get those pedal extensions for your car?"

"Yep."

"Will the rest of us still be able to drive it?"

"Beats me. I'm not sure how it will all work out yet."

"Well, thanks."

As she was walking out the door to go to the gym I yelled out, "Aren't you going to put some clothes on?"

She thought for a moment, then said, "No."

At lunchtime I decided to go out to the gym myself. I hadn't seen Erin since earlier and wasn't really expecting her out in the gym but there she was, hanging upside down.

"Have you been hanging all this time?"

"No. I had to do some things earlier. You didn't hear me?"

"No."

"I've only been here a few minutes."

"Well, don't hang too long. It will make your eyes go crossed."

"It will."

"Yeah. I had a friend who flew airplanes for a living. One day he spent too long on an inversion table and he couldn't see straight. The only way he could fly after that was upside down."

"He did not."

"Ok, he didn't. But he did keep bumping into walls."

"He did?"

"You're so gullible sometimes, Erin."

"Gullible. That sounds sexy."

"You're thinking of gobble."

"That's what I said."

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever, Erin."

"Come here.", she said.

I came closer and she tried to take my pants off. It was tough for her being upside down but she managed as I just stood there.

"Now put it right here.", she said, pointing between her upside down boobs.

I can honestly say that was the weirdest titty-fuck I've ever had. She was licking cum off her chin as she went back inside to clean up.

After putting my pants back on I tried some exercises using very little weight. It was tough. At no point could I have ever been able to get even 100 pounds up. I could see that it was going to be a long hard road to get back to where I was before.

How much could Julie push, I kept wondering. I wasn't sure I wanted to find out but we were going to need to work out together soon. And to run; but I probably wouldn't be able to keep up.

I finished in the gym and cleaned up. Erin wouldn't let me get dressed, so naked we both stayed until Julie came home.


----- Thursday evening

"You two been naked all day?", Julie asked.

At this point it shouldn't have been a surprise. I don't even know why she asked.

"Yeah. Gonna join us?", Erin said.

"Wait just a second.", I said. "Julie, I want to take Erin out to dinner tonight. I promised her. We might invite Dad, and maybe Mom. I really hate to ask you to stay home, but do you mind if it's just us?"

"I suppose I can spend a little time by myself. But you have to promise to hurry home, Sam. I'm not sure I can hold out much longer without sex today."

"No problemo, honey. I promise we won't be too long."

Erin snickered but we got ready and headed to Mom and Dad's house. When we got there Erin ran to her old room to pick a few items up, I went to talk with Dad in the living room.

"Where's Mom?"

"It's game night. She's playing with her friends tonight."

"This early?"

"She leaves early so she doesn't have to make me supper on Thursdays."

"Have you eaten yet?"

"No, not yet. You two want to eat supper with me?"

"I was thinking the other way around. Let's go out tonight, my treat?"

"You sure about that?"

"Absolutely. We haven't done this in a long time. I thought we could go to the old burger place we used to go to when Erin and I were kids. You know, the one with the root beer floats we used to get for desert. Come on, this will work out great."

"Alright, let me grab the papers you want. I tell you what, how about if I meet you there -- I have to make a quick stop at the drug store. Go ahead and get a table for us."

"Ok, Dad. We'll see you there."

We left when Erin was ready. We reserved a table for the three of us. Since we had to wait a little while to be seated, Dad showed up not long after we got our table.

I was getting my appetite back since the surgery. I had a chili-bacon-cheddar-cheeseburger with all the toppings, including jalapeños. Erin had your basic cheeseburger and Dad just had a hamburger. Afterwards, Erin and Dad were full, but I had a root beer float. I love those things and even if I was full I'd still get one; they are that special.

"So, Erin, how do like living with your brother?"

"It's great Dad. Sam helps me get to work every day and it's so fun spending time with Julie and Sam."

"I'm happy that you're doing so well. Mom, not so much you understand. She can't fathom why you would do something like that since you have a perfectly good room to yourself at home."

"Mom never did understand us.", I said.

"I don't either, sometimes."

"But at least you make an effort Dad."

"How is Julie doing?"

"She's great."

"You two are really getting along pretty well, Sam?"

"The best. It couldn't be better."

"Then I'm happy for you two. I suppose the operation was a success."

"It was. Thanks for coming to see me."

"So, your pituitary gland is better?"

"Yes. They said this should fix things."

"What was wrong?"

"They don't really know for sure. The doctor asked if I had taken a fall or hurt it or something like that when I was younger. He thinks there was scar tissue there."

Dad paused, then castled his hands in front of his face. He became very serious.

"Sam, what I'm going to tell you won't be easy for you to hear. You're going to hate me; and so is your mother for me telling you this. But I have to say it anyway."

"What, Dad?"

"When you were very little your mother would spank you. I would never do such a thing and thought it was wrong. But you were a rambunctious child. I new you weren't mean, just energetic. Your mother had other ideas. I should have put a stop to it but just couldn't stand up to your mother. I don't know why. I apologize but I know that's not much consolation."

"So, she spanked me."

"There's more to it. One day she was using a stick. The stick had thorns or a needle or something sticking out from it. I have no idea why she was using it. She always said it would build your character to feel a little pain."

"Go on.", I said. Erin had a horrified look on her face. I felt like what her face looked like.

"She went to whack you on your rear end but you ducked. The thorn got stuck in your neck. We didn't know what to do so we brought you to the hospital. They took it out but said that we should have surgery to find out how much damage there was. You seemed fine after and we couldn't afford the followup surgery anyway. I told your mother we should do it, but she didn't want to deplete any savings that we had scraped up over the years. Because you seemed fine we didn't pursue this. We were wrong."

"Are you saying I could have had this surgery years ago?"

"Yes. I think so. I believe the surgery you just had, you should have had long ago."

"You never told me this."

"I know. I'm finally telling you now. I'll go Sam, and we never have to see each other again. I would understand; we were terrible to you. I wanted to get this off of my chest and you have a right to know."

"Why didn't you tell me before?"

"Because I was ashamed, I guess. We stopped talking about it, your mother and I. She completely wiped it from her mind. To her, you were the one that she failed. She instead focused everything on your sister."

I was floored. "I guess this explains a lot."

"I'd like to pay for dinner, son. Then I'll go and you can get on with your life."

"Don't go, Dad. I told you I was paying."

"I don't deserve your generosity, Sam."

"Of course you do. You're my father."

"I don't know how you can say that.", Erin said.

"I don't care what you did, Dad. I can forgive you. I still want you to be in my life. I realized that when you came to see me in the hospital."

With his arms on the table, Dad put his head down and wept. I'd never seen my father ever do such a thing.

"Sam, how can you do that?", Erin scolded.

"Forgiveness is mine to give or not. Not yours, Erin. Not in this case." That left her speechless.

"Dad, you and Mom raised a fantastic daughter. She made me see how wonderful family is. I don't want you to go. I need you more than ever. The surgery only fixed one thing; I have a virus. You know about that, right?"

He grabbed a napkin and wiped his eyes. "Yes, I know about that. Julie didn't want me to tell you that she told me. She knows that you and I, and especially your mother, don't talk. She wanted us to know."

"So, Mom knows too?"

"Yes."

"What does she think?"

"I don't know. She doesn't seem fazed. Maybe she's trying to keep up a strong appearance."

"Dad, you know she she doesn't care.", Erin said.

"I realized that a long time ago too, Erin. Don't worry about Mom. I've written her off just like she's written me off. Dad, thanks. Also, thanks for the birth certificate."

"Your welcome, son."

It must have been very hard for my father to tell me this. I could have laid into him, but it wouldn't have done any good. I was thinking of the future and to hanging on to what I have now. Besides, I was even grateful to find that out about my past.

We parted and went home. Julie wasn't around. I searched and found her in the bedroom; with Sharon.

"Sorry, Sam. I couldn't wait. But now that you're here, won't you join us?"

"I don't think so, Julie. I'm not in the mood tonight."

"What? Ok, what did you do with my Sam, mister?"

"Really, Julie. I'm not in the mood."

Julie was understandably upset. Erin had to tell Julie about the night. I was not expecting what happened tonight and was understandably a bit melancholy.

"How about I sleep in the other bedroom tonight, and you and Sharon can spend the night together. Maybe Erin would like to participate."

"You don't need to sleep in the other bedroom, Sam.", she said.

"I'm not in such a great mood and I'd rather you all be happy. I just need a little time to myself. There's no reason for you two to stop, Julie."

"I'll miss you tonight."

"I'll be here, and I'll still be here in the morning."

"Sam, this is terrible news. But you can still be with us tonight.", Sharon said.

Erin said, "Well, I won't be joining you two tonight either. Sam, if you'd like company you can sleep with me. We don't need to do anything else but hold each other."

"I appreciate that from all of you but I think I'll just sleep in the other bedroom by myself."

And so I spent the night alone to think about what Dad had told me.
