Okay, for the people who have been replying, thanks so much – this chapter is for you.I know Laureen's reaction is a little different, but I wanted them to stay friends, so friends they will be! Also a slight warning for soppiness between Jack and Laureen and strong sexual content for ahem Jack. I am hoping people are still reading and enjoying this story, but the rather limited reviews that I've had, I was starting to wonder. Once again, loads of thanks to those who have reviewed so far, enjoy this chapter!

"I love him...him. Not her, but, him." The words echoed around Laureen's head. She looked at Jack.

"Him?"

Jack looked down uncomfortably at the floor, "Yeah, Him," he said softly.

Laureen took a few steps back into the room, those words still rolling around her head. Her husband was gay, and she didn't even have the urge to belt him over the head with a, well something. In fact, she was rather relived by that statement. As the niggling little voice in the back of her said, "That's a relief, at least he's not leaving me for another woman."

Jack stared at Laureen, trying to read her reaction. The anger was now gone from her face and she looked almost calm.

"I'm not mad Jack. Well, I am about the divorce, but you bein' gay? That doesn't actually bother me, I dunno why, but hey, least you're not leavin' me for another woman."

Jack snorted, fuck that was sure as hell one way to look at it.

"What's his name?" Laureen looked at him, her eyes soft.

"Well fuck me" Jack thought, "She actually looks like she cares."

"Ennis, Ennis Del Mar."

"Your old fishin' buddy?" Jack nodded. "No wonder you were always willing to drive 14 hours to see him!"

Jack smiled and nodded.

"Tell me Jack, how long have you known that you were, well, gay?"

Jack turned and sat down slowly. "I guess I've always known. I've never really bin attracted to females. Never felt like I fitted in. Whenever at school, when all me buddies would be lookin at the pictures of bare naked women with huge tits, I always felt uncomfortable. Never enjoyed it. I would go home and dream of naked men, what it would be like to hold one, feel one. I had kissed a few guys before Ennis, but fuck, when I saw him standing there, aginst the wall, he looked so fuckin' cute!" The tears were running down Jack's face now, and Laureen put a comforting arm around his shoulders.

"It's okay Jack, let it out, I'm listening."

Jack took a huge breath before continuing, "I felt like a real bastard driving away from him that summer, hell, I would go as far as saying that I loved him. And now he's mine. I still can't believe. I was so sure he would sock me one and tell me to wait til next month to spend time with me. But he didn't! He was actually happy to see me, and I knew then I had done the right thing, even though it meant leaving you, but he makes me feel complete. I dunno how I've gone all these years without him." Jack was crying openly now and the shoulder of Laureen's shirt was wet. Jack swiped at it, sniffing and half laughing.

"I gotcha all soggy, 'm sorry."

Laureen grinned, "It's alright, I'll let it pass, but this time only!" "Hell Jack, do you realize that that was the longest you've ever spoken to me in our entire marriage?"

Jack sighed, "I suppose we better tell your parents then, and Bobby." "Fuckin LD is gonna be so happy 'bout this, he's finally gettin what he always wanted."

"They're coming around for tea tonight, we can tell them then. But we better let Bobby know that he ain't gonna be seein his Daddy for long periods of time first."

Jack was crying again now, the tears running softly down his cheeks, "Hey, what you crying for agin? I thought you woulda been outta tears by now."

Jack ran a shaky hand across his eyes and sniffled. "I miss him Laureen, only bin away from him for 18 hours and I already miss him, so bad."

Laureen pulled him into a hug. "It's called love Jack, and I want you to remember this, I love you Jack Twist, I always have and I always will."

Later that night

Jack lay in bed thinkin over the nights events. Christ, getting Bobby to understand that he wouldn't be seein his Daddy everyday has been near on impossible.

"Bobby, Mummy and I have something very important to tell you."

Bobby looked up at both of them, hoping that maybe he was gonna get a little brother or sister. He'd like that, someone to play with.

Jack swallowed hard, fuck, how to say this.

"Bobby, I'm going to be moving to Wyoming, to live with a friend. I'm not gonna git to see you much Bobby, but you're more than welcome to come and spend all summer with me and Ennis on the ranch.

Bobby looked around confused, he was so sure his Mummy was gonna have another baby, but instead his Daddy was telling him that he was going away.

"Don't you love Mummy any more Daddy? Why can't you stay together?"

"I still love Mummy, jist not as much as I used to. I can't stay here, Bobby, I jist can't."

"If I come to the ranch, can I horse ride?"

"Much as you want, whenever you want. You can do anything you want up there Bobby."

Bobby took that as a happy enough answer and jumped down of the couch and headed for the door, before stopping.

"Do you still love me Daddy?"

"More than you could ever know, little man."

Dinner hadn't gone to well either, LD threatening to cut all access rights to Bobby, before Laureen had stepped in and told the bastard that if even thought of that agin, he'd never be welcome in this house ever again.

Jack shuddered, if he had his way, he'd never think of tonight ever again. Besides, there were more important things to do.

He reached down and gently rubbed his achingly hard cock. Just the mere thought of Ennis got it up, and he was desperate for a fuck. But Ennis wasn't there, and he wasn't gonna get a fuck, so a wank it was gonna have to be.

He ran his hand up and down the hard shaft, running his fingers over the very tip, groaning softly. He pumped it a few times, and the pleasure shot through him. With his other hand he reached down and gently ran his finger around his hole, wanting more than anything to feel Ennis's hard cock pushing its way it and sliding up the warm channel. He spit on his fingers before returning them to his hole, all the time pumping his cock. He pushed one finger firmly up against the tight pucker, feeling it resist, before his finger slide it. Holy fuck, it felt so good! He was born to have this done to him. A second finger joined the first and his hole tighten around the fingers. He pumped his hard, leaking cock faster, scooping some precum up of the tip and licking his fingers clean, wishing it was Ennis. A third finger joined the first two, and he nudge his pleasure nub inside of him. He could feel his orgasm getting closer, and he pumped faster, loosing himself in the sensation, until he came, shooting spunk out the end of his cock and up onto his stomach.

He lay still, feeling wiped, before slowly pulling his fingers out and feeling his hole protest. Quickly wiping himself clean, and rolled over and started to drift of to sleep, getting comfort out of the loan fact that he would soon be at Ennis's side, forever.

Phew! That took 3 hours to write, and my hand is dropping off! I promise next chapter will have Ennis in it, I just wanted to get all this confrontation out of the way. Once again, please review, it makes me feel loved! (and more inclined to write the next chapter!)
