Dylan Barillas Chapter 6- When you need a breather.

Dylan (29), his husband Leo Wilkie (60). Their children: Salma and Harold (7)
Narrated by Dylan.

I love being at home with Leo and the kids. There are times when Leo still worries that everything is still too boring for me. I think he worries that I will get bored and leave him. Lucky for him I am so in love with him and our family. He surprised me by telling me that he wants to take us on vacation to Twikki Island.

Before I knew it Leo had organized everything for the trip. The kids were so excited to get to know the island they had heard so much about.

The kids were off exploring while I and Leo took in some rays.

Salma loved learning the salutations that the Tikki people gave each other.

Leo has asked if I wanted to have another child. For now I am content with both of our kids. I could never have dreamed that I would be this happy.

Harold had dinner with us and Salma was busy having fun with her new friends. We have started to notice that Harold and Salma are starting to separate a little. I think Harold feels lonely but he will get over it once he finds some friends of his own.

The best part of the trip for the kids was the haunted ship. Leo at this point was tired but the kids would not hear of their dad missing such an important tourist site.

I loved taking in the view of the whole port. It makes me almost want to move here.

Leo ended up heading home before the tour was over. The kids were a little upset but soon forgot about it when we started playing.

Leo had to go back to work and his job sent a helicopter to pick us up. I guess surgeons can not get a lot of time off. The kids fell asleep on the way back home. I was happy that we got at least a few days of family time.

So far our life has been pretty ordinary. I have to admit that it has been more entertaining than I ever thought it would be. I still can not imagine how our lives would be if I had not convince Leo to have kids. Now he is the first one that gets up in the morning to make sure the butler has their breakfast served.

The kids are now five and they attend private school. Even their school gives out homework that the Jane and I have to help them complete. This part of raising our children Leo leaves to me.

We want our kids to live grounded even thought Leo is rich beyond means. To achieve this we try to get my nieces, nephews and cousins over to play with our kids. Right now they are into becoming bowling champs.

Our life is not all play. It is important for me to give our kids enough physical exercise. After school we go for hikes along the trails near our house. We come back exhausted but at least we got our daily activity done for the day.

Leo is much more content staying at home reading up on his medical journals. Its fine because we balance ourselves. The kids go to Leo when they want to be read to or to hear his wonderful stories.

All in all we complement ourselves. I know a lot of people look at us and judge us because he's older than me. I look at my husband and I feel like the luckiest guy on earth.

Dylan Barillas-Chapter 4

Dylan (25) his husband Leo (56) their children: twins, Salma and Lionel (2)
Narrated by: Dylan


Our marriage has begun to get a little boring I might say. We still talk about the news of my family but it seems all we have in common now a days. Leo wants me to enroll in college where as I am content in my little job as he calls it.

Leo believes in hiring a nanny to do the job of helping to raise our kids. I honestly detest the idea but I don't want to get into it with him. So I grinned and agreed to have interviews. Who ever heard of a Manny? Not me. The three people that showed were Martin Ruben, Jane Stacks and Allegra Gorey. I interviewed each one and was bored out of my mind.

Just because I have to choose someone I choose Jane. She seemed the most normal out of the three people that applied.

I have to admit that she is great with the kids. I am happy that she is around to help me out.

Don't get me wrong I still take care of the kids. I know Leo hates me being so involved. Either way they are our kids and we should be involved. I just hope that our marriage gets its spark back sooner rather than later.

Dylan Barillas--Chapter 2

Dylan (21) and his husband Leo Wilkie (52)
Narrated by Leo

My husband and I are both content now that our household is now finally getting its last renovations. Many people did not believe that we would have the same style but yet we do. I still can not believe that at this stage of the game I have found my true love.

I know that Dylan comes from a large family. Therefore it was no surprise to me when he suggested that we have his family over for dinner. I agreed. I have not seen his triplet brother and sister since he and I got married.

I finally had the opportunity to meet Dylan's aunts Amarilis and Meadow. I am happy to see that this family is OK with having gay family members. In my generation this was not the case but I hope that in the future many can be like my in-laws.

Dylan and I have been talking about our legacy and we have to offer. I never really wanted children. Especially at this age I think its a little too late. Dylan however is starting to wonder if we should try to have a child. I am not too keen on it so I said that it was best for us to live our lives alone without kids.

But Dylan would not stop telling me about wanting a kid. I could never deny him anything so I finally relented and told him that he can try to have a child. We tried several times and we were successful. I would have never imagined that in this day in age two men or two women could have babies with out the help of the opposite sex. True I am a surgeon but I am purely Internal medicine and have nothing to do with the reproductive side of things.

Before I knew it we were parents to not one but twins. I knew the possiblity of having tripletts because Dylan himself is a triplet. I guess I am lucky to have just twins. I have also put my foot down on having anymore children. This is as many ... well twice as many that we have already. We have a baby girl who we named Salma and a baby boy who we named Lionel.

Dylan Barillas--Chapter 1 part II

Dylan Barillas, Age 20
Leo Wilkie, Age 51
Narrated by Dylan

Leo and I got married by the beach in a rather informal wedding ceremony. I know most people would like a luxurious wedding but not me nor my fiancee Leo. We wanted something small that would be meaningful for us. Yes we were selfish but to us that didn't matter.

we were finally married. I never thought that I would be a newlywed at the age of 20 but here I am. Now Leo picked this place in front of a house because for him it was meaningful. In my mind I just wanted to be married to the man that makes my heart skip a beat.
"OK so were married huh?"
"Yes we are Dylan."

"I wanted to bring you here because I have something to show you. I just hope that you wont be too mad or shocked at me. I am hoping that you dont see that anything has changed between us."
"What do you mean? Leo is there something that you are hiding? What does this place mean to you?"
"lets go inside and ill show you."
"your kidding right. Were actually going to go inside?"
"yes we are."

I looked around and I was shocked that Leo had the keys to this house. I was even more shocked when he told me that this was our new home.
"our new home? Wait. How can we afford this?"
"Easy. Dylan in my life its hard to meet someone that you truly are attracted to both inside and out. I lied to you. I told you that I was an intern when in fact I own my own surgical practice for the past 15 years. Dylan this is our home. I didnt want someone to love me for my money or my practice."
"but I have been at your apartment"
"Yes. but that is the one I was renting while this place was being built. This is my dream home. I have worked for this for years... and I know its my plan but now that were married... if your interested then I wouldnt mind you decorating it. I want you to feel like its your home as well."
"I dont know what to say... Leo. Leo you have me in utter shock. I imagined us living in your tiny aparment. Your apartment fits in your living room!"
"Are you too upset?"
"No. Im just in shock."
I was in shock and so surprised. Leo said that I didnt have to work unless I wanted to. He also offered to help me go to college if that interested me instead. I might take him up on that offer. Maybe.....

Time to move on out.....

Alfredo age19, Shaila age 19 and Dylan age 19
Parents: Maura and Consuelo Barillas.


Consuelo's oldest set of Quads decided that it was time to move out and face life on their own. the only one of them that decided to go to college was Carson. The other three decided to rent an apartment on their own. It was a hard choice but thanks to their Aunt Amarilis they managed to rent her old apartment that was luckily vacant.

Narrated by Shaila Barillas (from left to right: Alfredo, Shaila, and Dylan)
We are finally in our own apartment and honestly we love our new apartment. My brothers are missing the our younger siblings meanwhile I am enjoying the freedom. My mother Consuelo has been around often trying to make sure that we are doing OK. I have to admit that I know my mom feels guilty about us not going to college but we made our choice. I managed to find a job in a food position, my brother Alfredo got a job in security and Dylan is still looking for a job.

Alfredo has always had weight issues. For some reason he always managed to lose weight and then would gain weight. Now that we were on our own he became a health nut. He was so happy that he lost weight that we decided to go out to the club to celebrate.

Some way some how Alfredo and I managed to get our brother Dylan to go out with us. With us being Quads, we are used to they shyness of Dylan. Dylan protested the whole way to the club but he finally managed to get in the cab and relax a bit. As we headed to the club Alfredo was hoping to meet someone that would help me enjoy his new physically fit body.

"Dylan, relax and enjoy yourself. Its our time to relax a bit."
"Shai, you know I don't like clubs. Why am I here?"
"Just enjoy it. Do it for Alfredo. Look at him all happy over there dancing. He's getting to know people and we should get to know some people too. Lets not let Alfredo have all the fun."

My brother Alfredo was having a blast. I on the other hand managed to meet a guy named Pong..but he was not that interesting. I was looking for my brother Dylan and he was no where to be found. Im sure that he did not leave but I was a little worried...
************************************************************************************

The next day, Alfredo had breakfast made for us. I sat down and Alfredo began to discuss how he met this hot guy at the club. I asked for Dylan since he left the club with out us the night before. I thought that he for sure Dylan was upset.
"You will never guess what our little brother did?"
"Is he upset at us Alfredo? We should have watched him more."
"I think not. He is outside saying goodbye to his ... well I dont know if 'one night stand' is the correct term."
I let out a gasp of surprise. Never in my wildest dreams did i think that Dylan would bring someone home. I guess I was wrong.

His name is Leo Wilkie and Dylan seemed to be taken with him from the start. My brother has always been Gay. This is no big deal to us since our moms are gay partners. I think the thing that shocked us all was that Leo was a little older than Dylan. Leo to be exact was 50 years old while Dylan was about to turn 20. Anyone looking at them would think Leo was too old for my brother but oddly enough it didnt seem strange to me. As I mentioned before, Dylan has always been quiet and seemed older than his phyisical age. The term that comes to mind is "old soul". Yes that is what Dylan was.
**********************************************************************************

Dont worry Dylan was not the only one trying to meet someone. I saw one of our neighbors out front and he immediately caught my eye. I unfortunately didnt catch his. He was a little older... OK fine he was 34 but he did look good. I guess I am like my twin brother Dylan, I like the older type.

After being turned down by my neighbor, I decided to take up a co-worker on his date offer. He has been telling me that he wanted to go out with me since I met him at my job. I know him but dont know him well enough to see if the attraction is more than physical. Hes cute and funny but how is he outside of work? I would soon find out since I finally accepted his invitation for lunch.

His name is Weldon Fairchild. He works in the same fast food restaraunt as I do and he is 23 years old. Oh dont worry Weldon is only there while he finishes his law degree. It seems that I am attracted to Lawyers a lot. The neighbor that rejected me was also a lawyer. Imagine that. I am glad that I accepted the date with Weldon. Seeing him outside of our work enviornment was more that I ever expected.

Conversation was light while we were waiting for our food. I am glad that I wasnt bored. I was actually interested in his activities outside of work.
"Is this OK for you? I mean I am still in shock that you accepted my date offer". "Of course this is OK Weldon. So how long have you worked at our job?"
"I would say about 3 years. I am ready to leave and get started in a law firm. How about yourself? Are you going to college?"
"Sadly I couldnt afford it. I dont know if its in my future. I come from a big family and well money was a little tight growing up."
"You said you had a big family. Do you live with your parents still?" "No, I actually live with two of my brothers while my other brother is in college. I have four younger sibilings currently starting high school."
"Wow your mom must have been busy. How about your dad?"
"She was busy. My mom Maura had two sets of Quads. Im in the first set and my other mother Consuelo would work more to have my mom Maura stay home."
"Oh I didnt realize that you had two moms. Thats cool as long as there is love then its OK"
"Im glad you feel that way. Most people wouldnt but my family is open to everything. We dont judge people at all."
The food came and Weldon let a sigh out of relief. I could not tell if Weldon accepted my family as it was or if he just wanted to get out of there.

at the end of our date I was pretty tired and was ready to go home.
"Wait before you go. I have this for you. Its your birthday present. You can open it later."
"wow Weldon. I didnt expect this. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it."
"its OK. Well Ill see you out and see you at work tomorrow OK"
"Sure thanks."
I left that date and felt ecstatic about seeing Weldon the next day.
************************************************************************

Mom came over to make sure that we were all still alive. She was amazed that I was the only one home. I wasnt. Ever since we are on our own Alfredo and Dylan are out and about while I work and come home to relax. Weldon and I have decided to go out again but now I have Pong that I met at the club calling me.
Mom was feeling a little lonely so she came to see us and catch up. I think my mom is thinking about beginning to date. Im not sure if she is or will but I think its time. I know my mom Maura has been dating but I dont tell my mom Consuelo about it.

Dylan and Leo are all over each other for the past several months. Who knew things between them would move so quickly. All Dylan ever talks about is being with Leo. I find it odd that Leo is barely and intern. You would think that at his age he would at least be a physician or something. I just hope that Dylan lives his life besides being held back by Leo.

I decided to intervene. I know that he is in love with Leo but he also needed to see the bigger picture.
"so your in love?"
"I am Shaila. I know everyone is freaked that he is older than I am but in reality age doesn't matter. I just want to be with him. I dont know.. I think he may be the one."
"The one? Wow. I just ... well can you guys make it with his salary and you being jobless?"
"I guess we can. Shai, I have been meaning to tell you but Leo asked me to move in with him and I accepted."
"dylan! your only 20. Can't it wait a little more?"
"No. I love him and were moving in together next month. I will tell our moms before I move"
**********************************************************************************
Narrated by Dylan:

I was so happy to see him. No one really understands the love between Leo and myself. Its almost perfection. I dont have to pretend to be anything that I am not. he sees me for me. He supports me trying to one day go to college. I just hope that my family is as supportive of our love as my older sibilings are.
When Leo arrived to dinner that night my mom was about to have a heart attack. She didnt agree for me to move out with my boyfriend of over a year. True I was out on my own but still my mom Consuelo felt that she could still run my life.

After dinner was done the unexpected happened. Leo asked for everyone's attention and proposed to me. I didnt think that it would happen but it did. I didnt think of it twice and I said yes. I cant believe that im engaged to the man that I love so much.
A few weeks after I moved out with Leo and we decided that we will have a private wedding ceremony. I have never been more happier than today.
************************************************************************************
Narrated by Alfredo:

My boy toy... I laugh everytime he calls me that. I have been going out with him for over four months now. We saw each other at the club many moons ago. I really didnt think that we would click but we did. Sure we both decided to see other people but I dont know... maybe it was my brother announcing his engagement that made me seek him out. I called he answered and came over.

Right now its not a relationship but at least its something. We are so good sexually. I took advantage that I had the night off and that Shaila was not home yet.
