New Year Chapter 2 (Mfg 1st ped rom inc cons oral span) The plaintive notes and words "Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins". Echoed across the lounge as I finished the tidying up. I had come back from visiting my wife at the hospital yesterday and now I had to catch up with the chores. It was actually seven thirty on a Tuesday morning but it was near enough to the record to make me smile. In two hours Natalie was due to arrive. I shouted up the stairs, Nicky get up now. You have got school today! I then went into the kitchen and started preparing breakfast. I knew there would not be a lot of conversation until we were in the car on the way to school. Nicky is not at his best first thing in the morning. Grunts of morning, toast please and a mumbled thanks are all the communication from my son. Eight fifteen and it was out to the car, start the engine and then de-ice the windows, spraying the fluid and running the scraper over the windows. It's on mornings like this I wish I had used the garage. Eight forty five arrive at school and the duty teacher saw me and waved me over. I am glad I saw you; the head would like a quick word with you about the next governors meeting. I drove into the school grounds and parked up by the office and went in to see the head. I still get that flicker of nervous tension from the days when I was a pupil waiting to receive the cane. The fact that I am a governor does not help matters. The one day of the term I don't want to be held up, well at least Natalie would be able to get in to the house if I was delayed for much longer. It was nine fifteen before I was able to leave school so it would be nine fortyfive by the time I got home. For once then it would not be an empty house. Natalie would be there. I smiled as I drove home. I got home and let myself into the house. There was an aroma of hot coffee. I shut the front door behind me and took my coat and shoes off. I looked down and nearly fainted. There were two pairs of girls' shoes and a school bag in the hall. "Natalie" I called out, then looked through to the lounge. I saw Natalie standing there and she beckoned to someone else in the room; a young girl, with long blonde hair in a pony tail reaching to her bottom, was standing there in a school uniform of white blouse, short blue pleated skirt and white ribbed knee length cotton socks. I swallowed, and felt my heart start racing. She was gorgeous all right, my fantasy girl, but I knew she had to be thirteen years old or less. My fuck time with Natalie was well and truly fucked up. I asked Natalie "Who is she?" "It's my sister Becky, you know Rebecca. Don't you remember her? Well don't just stand there come in and have your coffee. I got you one ready when we arrived" I went through to the lounge and saw the mugs of coffee on the side table in front of the sofa. My mug was in the middle. I sat down and the two girls leant up against me. "What's going on Natalie?" "Well the night after the party I was in bed re-running what had occurred and playing with myself, and Becky heard me. Fortunately mum and dad were out otherwise it could have been really embarrassing. Becky came into my room and snuck under the duvet with me and joined in. I was sopping wet, she asked me what had got me so excited and I told her all that you Kate and I had done." I nearly choked on my coffee at that, a large gulp went down the wrong way as I gasped at what she had said. "We had a very, very long talk that night, as she wanted to know exactly what we had all done." Natalie looked at me and realised from the look on my face that I was having serious problems with all that she had said. "Natalie what will happen if she gets in a mood with you and tells your parents or worse still her teacher?" "Stop worrying, she knows if she tells on me I will tell on what she has been doing with me!" At that my heart started to slow down but I was still very agitated to say the least. Becky grinned at us and then uncurled herself from the sofa and went through to the hall, I watched her neat bum wiggling out of the room, I turned to Natalie. "Why has Becky come with you, did you want an excuse not to have sex, because you need not have worried because as far as sex goes she, you are in the driving seat. If you don't want to have sex you don't have to have it, as simple as that." Natalie gave me a wry smile, "well actually today Becky seems to be in the driving seat." I looked at her totally stunned. "Yes, Becky wants you to have sex with her. You see I told her about how caring you were to Kate on New Years day and she has decided that she wants you to take her cherry." I just sat there with my mouth hanging open. Becky came back into the room and said, "From the look on Roy's face I guess you have just told him what I want to do today. Will you Roy, please. My boyfriend tried to do it before the New Year but he was too rough and couldn't get himself in me and he just hurt me. I heard how you took Kate's cherry and how caring and gentle you were and I want that too. I have skived off school to be with you, oh and can you ring the school to say I won't be in? The number is in my schoolbag." I leant over and brought out her book and rang the school office, fortunately not the school Nicky went to. "Hello, I am just ringing to let you know that Rebeccah Davies won't be in today. Why? Oh she has got sharp cramping pains in her groin." I put the phone down and Becky giggled, "Oh such lies you tell." "Well for that you deserve to go across my knee to have a spanking." Becky leapt up and onto my lap face down; she craned her head around and said. "Yes please." I didn't know were to look. Natalie stood up and walked round, she lifted Becky's skirt tucked it into the waistband and pulled down her knickers, she looked at me and gave me a big loving kiss. "Go on, Becky wants it, she's been over both mum and dad's knee when she's been naughty and each time she has come up to me for comfort and I couldn't tell if her cheeks or her cunt were wetter. Tears would be streaming down her face and her panties would be soaked from her cunt and she had not peed herself!" "Becky why do you want me to spank you?" "Well it started when I saw that caning scene in the film "If". I was sitting watching it on the TV about 2 years ago and when the prefect was caning the boys I started to have this tingling feeling down there, pointing to her crotch. Then I could feel wetness in my panties. Ooooh I was so surprised and had to ask Nat about it after, as I did not know what was happening. Ever since, spanking and caning have fascinated me. I had real difficulty keeping what was happening secret from Mum and Dad. After the first time whenever they told me I was going to be spanked I tucked a folded hanky down my knickers to absorb the wetness. I then read the boarding school books especially to read about canings." " Do you really want me to spank you?" "Oh yes please; I am so naughty skiving off school. I should be at school right now, not here with you." At that my resolve slipped and I raised my right hand, down it came with a crack, my hand stung like mad, and I could feel the effect on Becky as she bounced around on my knee, back up and down my hand went. It was hurting me but I was loving it too; that small; that very small bottom, my hand almost covered it completely, framed by her navy blue pleated skirt and white socks reaching up to her lovely knees so slim so lovely. Each time my hand came down those white clad legs kicked about, her pussy screwed into my erection and she cried out, no, stop it, please, each time she cried out I looked to Natalie and each time she motioned to me to carry on. I lifted my hand off her wriggling bum and could see the imprint of my hand upon the warm white globes. I got to six smacks and I had to stop for a rest, my hand was red and stinging from the impacts and Becky's bum was even redder, so what it must feel like I could only guess. Becky jumped up from my lap and jumped into the air a few times as if to ease her sore bottom. "Can't you continue?" "I was enjoying that so much," "Sorry but look at my hand." "Well have you got something you could use instead of your hand?" " I've only got garden canes and they would be too severe," I then thought of something. I stood up and told Becky to stand still. I went out to the garage and found a piece of plastic curtain rail, a left over from when they had replaced some rails. It was smooth, round and only slightly flexible and most importantly it was light. I took it indoors to the lounge. Becky was standing there with a downcast head her bum was peeping out from under the roll of her skirt and her eyes were peeping out from under her eyebrows, she had her hands behind her back waiting. As I went into the room I saw that a dining chair had been placed in the centre of the room and Natalie came over to me. She took the rail out of my hands and placed it by the chair, she then undid my shirt and slipped it off me, then she knelt down and undid the waist fastenings on my trousers and slid them and my underpants down and off, lastly she rolled my socks off stood back up and moved me across to the chair. Natalie sat me down and then knelt between my legs, she took my cock into her mouth and started sucking. Before there was any risk of me coming she released me and stood up, she undid the clasps on Becky's skirt and took it off. Natalie then led Becky back across to me and laid her onto my lap. I leant down and picked up the piece of curtain rail. Thinking ahead I said to Becky. " We need something so that you can stop this, as I don't want to hurt you too much." I saw the bell ball on the Christmas tree. "Natalie can you fetch the bell from the tree and give it to Becky. Becky you can easily hold it and if you need to stop me you can drop it, the bell would immediately draw attention and I would stop. That way you can cry out and pretend to plead as much as you want but if it gets too much you drop the ball and I stop instantly." Becky raised herself up and kissed me. "Oh thank you for thinking ahead for me; I was starting to worry, if Natalie misjudged how far I was able to go. Now I am in control of how far I go." She lay back down on my lap and reached underneath herself to move my rigid cock into the most comfortable place for her. I raised the rail up and brought it smartly down, a red line instantly leapt into view, and Becky bounced on my lap. "How was that?" "It was fine, painful but enjoyable!" So I set to with vigour fifteen strokes a minute. Becky was soon howling and wriggling on my lap. At the end of the first minute I stopped the punishment and caressed her fiery red globes, my fingers slipped down the crack to her pussy. I gave her half a minute of caressing. Because it was so awkward using the rail on Becky whilst she was laying on my lap I gave it to Natalie to continue. She did so with relish, if anything she was caning her sister harder than I did for another fifteen strokes. I then caressed Becky's bum. I then took over the cane; because of the angle I was only hitting 1 side of her bum. Natalie took over for the forth set, we were halfway through it when Becky's body suddenly spasmed in her orgasm. I could feel her cunt lips on my thigh as she pushed down into my lap and I realised that my leg was dripping from her lubrication. Natalie put down the rail and caressed her sisters bottom with both hands. Becky stood up and leant over and kissed me. I could taste the salt of her tears running down her face. I wiped her eyes and kissed her face dry. I pulled her to me and grasped her nipple between my lips and sucked. There was just a little mound there. She was moaning and saying. "Thank you, oh thank you." I was so turned on by that. I lifted her up by the waist and told her to bend her knees. She lifted her feet up and I stood up and moved across to the sofa. I asked Natalie to guide Becky's legs onto the sofa as I sat down. She was an absolute lightweight, as I sat down her nude pussy was on a level with my face. I gently pulled her in to my face and started licking her clit and sucking on her unopened fuck tube. Natalie stood behind her little sister and massaged her developing boobies. It was not very long until Becky was coming again. Natalie then slipped down and put her head between my legs and swallowed my cock. She took the first half with no problem but had to work on the last three inches until it was entering her throat. She then started bobbing her head and up and down my cock. It was heavenly. I was already well aroused by the caning of Becky and it was only a matter of minutes and I could feel the swelling in my cock as the semen started to rush up. As I came I pulled Becky into my face hard and nibbled her clit she whimpered from the pressure I put on her abused bottom. And then she came, wave after wave. Liquid was dripping out of her cunt and being caught by my tongue. She tasted divine. Natalie was meanwhile taking all my cum into her mouth, the first jets went straight down her throat; she lifted off me slightly so that the rest was squirted into her mouth. So that she could get the full flavour (she told me afterwards when we were talking) Holding tight to Becky I stood up and said to Natalie to follow me. I carried Becky up the stairs to my bedroom and between us we laid Becky face down on the bed. We removed the band tying her hair Natalie ran her fingers through it and spread it out across her back and down her sides like a waterfall of pale blonde hair. She was so tired by the force of her coming and her caning that she was already fast asleep. She looked so sweet and naughtily virginal in her white blouse and white socks Natalie and I left her there and went downstairs, into the kitchen and made ourselves more coffee then on into the lounge with a towel and the coffee. I placed the towel on the sofa to catch any lubrication from Natalie's cunt, we sat together on the sofa, cuddled up and talked. "That was awesome." Natalie said after a few minutes of quiet reflection. "I have seen her after mum or dad have spanked her but to see her cum from being caned, I know how hard I was hitting and I could see the marks on her butt, and still she clung onto that ball. Totally awesome." We finished our drinks and I caressed Natalie's swelling boobs, teasing her nipples by pressure from my thumb and forefinger. I could feel her breathing increase in speed as I asked her if she wanted to have sex now and if so upstairs next to her sister or downstairs. Upstairs please. So we went back upstairs and into my bed. Becky was fast asleep the individual lines on her bottom were smoothing out into a generalised red glow and one deeper red line. Natalie said to me, feel me, I am so wet already, just enter me. With that she laid down on her back and lifted her legs up I knelt down between them and Natalie brought her legs up to my shoulders, as I moved forward she was rolled round on her hips by the pressure of my shoulders on her knees and it presented her cunt to my cock. I slid gently forward and luxuriated in the feel of her wet cunt walls sliding along my cock. It was beautiful although our caning Becky had been exciting it did not compare to the sensations I now was getting. I was able to slide all the way home until my pubic hair was tickling her nearly nude pubes. It was a gentle slow fuck, designed to give us both as much pleasure as possible. I reached around her bottom and put my finger into her cunt beside my prick and wet it well I then went to her ass and gently inserted my finger into her rectum and worked it in and out. As my finger went deeper into her ass I could feel my prick through the wall of her rectum. I asked her. "Do you want to try ass fucking?" "Ooh said yes please, but promise me you will stop if I don't like it." "Of course." I pulled out of her cunt and repositioned my self, I raised her legs more so that her crotch tilted more and then I gently pushed into her ass. I restrained myself as I could see Natalie nibbling her lip, obviously in some discomfort.N "Do you want me to stop?" "No, no, yes, NO, NO don't stop, keep going." I then pushed further into her hot tight ass, as I pulled out after each thrust my cock collected more of the lubrication running down from her cunt and so eased my passage, I was constantly massaging her clit and I could feel her starting to cum. I pushed hard and my pubic hair was uptight to her little bum. As she came I was looking down and I thought if Natalie has a little bum what does Becky have and will her cunt be able to take me? At that I started cumming, pumping jism into her hot tight little bum. As I lay there I heard a little voice beside me saying, "Now that looks interesting, what are you doing to my sister?" "I've just fucked her bum; do you feel all right now?" Becky smoothed her hand over her bum. "It feels fine, just a bit sore," "oh Roy, crazy as it sounds I did enjoy it, am I perverted?" " No, what you had is quite a common reaction to being caned. Some people love it and some hate it, you are a lucky one because you have an extra avenue for joy. I think it's time for us all to go downstairs and have some lunch." "But I want you to fuck me as well," Becky complained. She then stripped off her blouse, just leaving her white knee socks on. Natalie had evidently told her about my liking for pre-pubescent and young teenage girls in white socks. "Becky, you can have me for dessert but we need to have a first course. We still have plenty of time." We went down into the kitchen where I sliced the bread, Becky buttered and Natalie put the fillings in and made the coffees. We took our food through to the lounge and sat down on the sofa, cuddled together and started eating. I looked from Becky to Natalie and from Natalie to Becky. I could not believe what we had been doing. The evidence was there, 2 nude girls and the younger one rocking from buttock to buttock. "Are you all right Becky?" "I am rather sore." I went upstairs to the bathroom and fetched my wife's baby lotion, which she used as a body lotion. I went back down to the lounge and pulled Becky to her feet. I knelt Becky down on the towel and I squirted some lotion into my hand and massaged it into Becky's abused bottom "Ooh that's cold." Becky giggled. The skin seemed to drink the baby lotion, so I put some more on. It took away some of the fiery red from Becky's sweet little bum. My hand completely covered one cheek, so I reached out with my other hand. I know my hands are large but they completely covered Becky's sweet little bum. I wiped my hands on the towel and then sat Becky on it to protect the sofa from the baby lotion. Ooh that feels much better and we continued with our interrupted lunch. After we had finished eating Natalie cleared the plates and mugs away and then went upstairs to the bathroom, she returned a few minutes later with a couple of bath towels. She laid them out on the floor. She then took me by the hand and led me to the towels, laid me down on the towels, and said, await your pleasure. My eyes followed Natalie as she walked back to the sofa and pulled Becky up by the hand, walked her across to me stood her across me and told her to kneel down. I lifted my hands up and grasped Becky and guided her down so that her cunt was in front of my mouth. I started nibbling on her clit fingering her cunt and licked up from her virginal fuck tube to her clit. The twin aromas of little girl cunt and baby oil were so arousing. Natalie knelt down and kissed her sister. Becky became more and more aroused, until she came with a crashing orgasm. Natalie had to hold her up it was so intense. I grasped Becky round the waist and started to move her down my body. Natalie saw what I was doing and helped to move her sister's body so that her cunt and my cock met. She knelt down and grasped my tool and positioned it at Becky's slit. She then lowered her sister down so that my cock penetrated Becky's cunt, which was devoid of hair and glistening from a mixture of my saliva and her lubrication. As my cock entered her, Becky started to take control of her movements. She lifted back up and then relaxed, I could see the muscles in her thighs and abdomen contract to control her movement. I reached to her tiny waist and grasped it to help her steady herself over my prick. Each time she came down she was a little deeper around my cock. Finally I felt her hymen against the head of my prick. I moved one hand down to enable me to massage her clit. Her cunt was so tight and wet. It felt like my prick was in a steamy oven. I could feel the cunt walls contracting against my prick as she struggled to control her penetration. Finally she raised herself up until my prick head was just inside her cunt and then she relaxed and slid down my fuck pole. She gave a scream as her hymen ripped and she dropped home, nude cunt to hairy pubes. "Agh shiiiit that hurts, Oh that is so full so full." I started to lift her off me as I didn't want to hurt her any more; she said, "No, I want you in me," and forced herself back down. My prick jerked inside her and her tummy moved, whether that was my prick moving or a reflex muscle movement I couldn't tell but it was so erotic. Natalie was kneeling above me kissing her sister. So I pulled Natalie's cunt down onto my mouth. I could taste my own cum in her. Becky then started a slow rise and fall on my prick. I could feel the cunt walls close behind my prick as it pulled out and then flow outwards as my prick plumbed her depths. Becky came first as her sister kissed her and I plumbed her. Then I came, pumping into Becky's cunt. Natalie then flooded as she came. A new, beautiful fresh taste as she spasmed against my lips and tongue and then she moved away. I looked down to the union between my cock and Becky's cunt, as she rose up I saw the red on my cock, evidence, if any was needed, of my lovers gift to me. Becky then folded and I lowered her onto my chest, my prick still jerking in her tight once virginal cunt. Natalie came back in with a bowl of warm water and a flannel from the kitchen. She helped Becky off me, rolled her over onto the towel and gently washed her cunt and legs of blood and cum. Then she turned to me and washed me. My cock was rapidly deflating as she gave it a kiss and thanked me for taking such good care of her sister. Becky slowly recovered and rolled across to me, kissed me and said, "that was better than I ever imagined." She looked to her sister and said, "What was it like when Roy fucked your bum?" Natalie looked at her. "It's different, it hurt a lot at first, but then I felt so full, I enjoyed it though. It probably helped because Roy was so gentle and caring." Becky looked at me. "Will you fuck my bum as well Roy?" "Are you sure you want this?" "We have already hurt you with the cane and then when I fucked you, will you be able to take me in your bum?" "Well there is only one way to find out and that is for you to fuck me up my bum." Natalie then said. "If you're going to fuck Becky's bum you should use extra lubrication, you were very tight in me and Becky is smaller. I want you to take great care of my baby sister." Becky was then knelt on all fours by Natalie I got the bottle of baby oil and gently massaged Becky's bottom with a generous handful, I made sure that her rectum was well lubricated. My finger darted in and out lubricating the entry. Natalie got down on her back under Becky and scooted forward until her cunt was under her sister's mouth. I then put a large dollop of lotion on my prick, I knelt down behind Becky and brought my prick up to her rosebud, Natalie then told her sister to push as if she was straining to have a shit, my prick popped into her portal, I gently pushed forward. Becky took a sharp intake of breath and then groaned. I stopped in my tracks, or more accurately in her bum. "Are you all right Becky? Do you want Roy to pull out of you?" "No, no don't pull out, just let me get used to it." After about a minute she said. "Give me some more." I pressed forward and slipped in another couple of inches. "Wait stop give me another break. This is bloody painful but very exciting; I want to take you all." Becky dropped her head and then gave her sister's cunt a long lick and kiss. I looked down between us and saw about two inches of prick still outside her bum, It looked as if it was horribly stretched by my prick and I was very glad that I had an average or slightly smaller cock. I pulled back and withdrew partly from her pert little bum and squirted some more baby lotion onto my cock, I wiped it round and up against her bum and then pushed in once again, this time with the extra lubrication I slipped right in, my balls were bouncing on her buttocks and my pubic hair was squashed between my pubes and her buttocks, I was fully home, I looked back down and saw her buttocks dwarfed by my thighs. She looked absolutely tiny. I reached round and stuck my middle finger into her cunt and angled my thumb round to massage her clit. I was now pushing in and out the full length of my cock into her tiny bum. Becky and Natalie were 69ing and I watched Natalie cum and cum again. Natalie was moaning with pleasure and her whole body was quivering as her sister brought her to a crashing orgasm. Natalie just lay there and Becky looked over her shoulder and said to me that was something else to see. I leant right forward and kissed her on the cheek, which was all I could reach. She faced forward and hung her head, as I bottomed out in her, she exhaled and as I pulled out she sucked in a breath, she sounded like a steam train. I picked up the speed into her bum and over her clit and could feel her tensing up, she started to quiver and that was the final push I needed to cum. I pushed fully home and knelt there pumping my jism into her hot tight bum. I fed fingers into her cunt and pushed my hand against her clit. And she came, oh how she came. Her whole body tensed and she screamed yes oh yes oh yesssssssssssss and then collapsed down across her sister. Her bum was the only part of her moving as it tensed and relaxed. It felt like she was trying to suck my cock off me. I started cumming again as more spunk flowed into her red hot bum. I was wasted; I hadn't cum as much for years. I slowly eased my way out of Becky's bum and lay down on the floor. I looked at my watch; I had to leave to pick Nicky up at three thirty. It was only two thirty so we had time for a rest. We lay down together on the floor. It was fifteen minutes before any of us were fit to move. Natalie sat up first and pulled me up to a sitting position. "Thank you for what you have done for Becky today. I just wish I had met some one like you when I was her age." "Do you know how old she actually is?" " No." "Well she is eleven this month." I quietly gulped with surprise, and I had thought she was at least thirteen. Becky looked up at me from the floor with a big grin on her face. I looked down and gently said to her. "If I had known how young you really are I would never have fucked you." "I know that, why do you think I told Nat not to tell you my age this morning." "I think I am going to have to spank you again for being so naughty." "Ooooh yes please." "Not this afternoon though I'm afraid," said Natalie. "You will have to come another day to see Roy." "Oh do I have to wait?" "Yes, it is time for us all to get dressed and for us two to go home, we had better have a quick shower otherwise our mum might have her suspicions about what work I have been doing and what you have been up to at school." "Natalie could you bring Becky with you the next time you meet up with Nicky because then I could "officially meet her" so if I should meet Becky when she is out with her mum and dad we won't have to try and pretend not to know each other." We went up to the shower room and the girls put on shower caps; it accentuated their youth, and was quite strange for me, as although we have them I never see them used. I put on the shower and we went under the shower heads, I set the shower to pulse and the water came at us from all sides, we could not hang around as I had to get the girls to near Becky's school so that they could appear to be walking home at the correct time if they should bump into their mum and I had to go and pick up Nicky. We got out of the shower and took the towels with us to put in the wash as we went on an exploratory trip picking up clothes from around the house. We had problems finding Becky's knickers and finally found them under the sofa in the lounge. That would have been embarrassing if we had not found them and my son or the cleaner had. How would I explain a girl's school knickers in our lounge?????? We set to and redressed ourselves, Becky in her school uniform, white blouse, navy pleated wrap around mini skirt and knee length white socks, as I looked at her I could not believe what we had been doing that day, she looked so virginal, so desirable, so absolutely fuckable. Natalie was a dream, young, sophisticated and cool; well that's how she looked. I suggested that Natalie ring Nicky tonight and arrange to meet up in town at the shopping centre at the weekend and for Becky to be with her. That way when I pick Nicky up after I have the excuse to meet Becky. We set off, I dropped the girls off and drove on to pick Nicky up. That night the phone rang and it was Natalie, I expressed pleasure at hearing her and She asked to speak to Nicky so I called him to the phone. After a few minutes he asked if I could drop him off at the town centre on Saturday, I pretended to check the wall calendar and said yes that's fine what time, ten thirty. No problem, mum will still be in hospital, I will drop you off and then do the grocery shop. Saturday morning came and I took Nicky into town, I said whilst I'm here I'll just pop into the bookshop before going to the supermarket. So I parked and we walked into the shopping centre. I was just going to the bookshop when Nicky said. "Who's that with her?" "Who's her and what that?" "Natalie of course and another girl." We walked over and Nicky asked Nat who it was with her? "Don't you remember Rebecca?" "Er no." " She was a child in your dad's arms when you last saw her; she has grown a bit since then. Sorry I had to bring her with us, but mum and dad are going out today, she wanted to stay at home because she doesn't like window shopping but mum said I have to bring her." "Would Rebecca like to come to the supermarket with me then? And then watch the satellite channels until I pick you guys up?" Natalie said to Becky, "Which would you, prefer? To go and do the shopping with Roy or to wander round with us two?" "Oh I'll go with Roy." " Nicky have you got your phone? Because then you can ring me when you want me to pick you up. Any idea what time that is likely to be?" "Oh probably about three or so." "Well here's a fiver for your lunch, come on Rebecca lets leave these two to their window shopping and gossip." She grabbed my hand and off we went. What a difference shopping was with Becky. A different attitude to Nicky, how much that was to do with being non-family and how much due to being a girl, I don't know, but we had a good time. We got back home and unpacked all the shopping and put it away. I made sandwiches and drinks and sat down on the sofa with her and ate lunch. Whilst we were eating I asked her. "How are you after Tuesday?" "Oh I'm fine a little bit sore though." "I'm sorry about that, I didn't want to hurt you." "Don't be silly I enjoyed it all, though I had to do a bit of quick thinking on Wednesday night as mum saw me in the shower and saw I had a bruise on my butt!" "Oh no what did you say?" "Oh that I had fallen over on Tuesday and landed on a stick and it didn't half hurt." Mum believed me and said you will have to watch your footing better next time. We both laughed at both the comment and what Becky's mum would have said if she really knew what caused the bruise! I went across and switched the TV on so that when Nicky rang he would hear the TV in the background. Becky and I were just sitting there enjoying feeling each other ling against the other when the phone rang. I turned to Becky. "gosh they were quick," picked it up, and said "hello." A female voice at the other end asked, "Am I speaking to Mr McGarvy?" "Yes." "This is the Approved social worker at the psychiatric hospital", "Has Sue been sectioned again?" that had been the reason the last time an approved social worker rang. "I am afraid not, your wife died this morning. We have been trying to get you but there was no answer." "I'll be over shortly." I just dropped the phone, although our marriage had been over in reality for many years I had still loved my wife. She was still the mother of our son. Tears were rolling down my face. Becky looked up at me. "What's wrong; can I do anything?" " No love, that was the hospital, my wife died this morning." I went through to family room and picked up the phone to ring Kevin, my friend. When he answered I simply told him that the hospital had rung and that Sue had died that morning, Nicky was out with his best friend and the best friends younger sister was in my lounge watching the TV and how was I going to get to the hospital, stay in and pick up Nicky and his friend and look after Becky." He said. "Stay there Pam and I will be with you in 10 minutes, I will take you to the hospital and Pam will pick up Nicky and his friend and look after Becky till we get back. Wait till we get there before ringing Nicky." I put the phone down and slumped in my chair. I just sat there hoping Nicky wouldn't ring until Kevin was there. I heard footsteps behind me and smelt the coffee. A mug was placed on the table and then a pair of small hands massaged my neck and back and a tiny voice saying. "This is what mum does for dad when he is stressed out." "When are your parents due home Becky?" "Not till five or six I think. Why?" "I don't think you and Nat should be home alone after the shock you have just had, seeing someone get this sort of news must be upsetting." Becky climbed on to my lap and let go. I stroked her head and whispered sweet nothings to try and comfort her and gave her my hanky to dry her tears. It helped to ease the pain of my grief to be caring for another. I heard a cooee from the hall and I called out to come in. Pam and Kevin came into the family room. Kevin had evidently taken the time to change because he had on his clergy shirt and "dog collar" on so that if I needed official help at the hospital he would be recognised. He was the vicar at our local church, where Nicky had sung in the choir, where I had helped out with his computer problems and who had listened to me talking out the pain of my non-marriage. I introduced them to Becky and explained how we knew each other. That her parents would be out till five or six and that I didn't think she or her sister should go home until they were in. Pam said no problem; "I will look after them whilst you are at the hospital." I looked to Kevin and asked him, "Should I ring Nicky and tell him, ring Nicky and arrange to pick him up early or do nothing and for Pam to pick them up when they ring?" Pam said the latter, "When they ring, if you are not back I will tell him on the phone that you have had to go out, I will then collect them and tell them the news. It will be terrible for him if you were to tell him over the phone, talking of which why did the hospital tell you over the phone! They normally ask you to come in." " It is on Sues notes that if anything happens I am to be told the truth over the phone, because then I can organise a lift. It was originally arranged that way when I worked at a hostel for the homeless, because I worked seven nights in twentyone, it could have been impossible to go across at no notice. I never changed that instruction even when I had my own company. In fact it is from that time that I met Becky and her sister, she was a babe in arms then, my son used to stay with them when Sue was first taken ill, he was there for almost five months." I finished my coffee, gave Becky a peck on the cheek and Kevin and I set off in his car. He drove. I was like an automaton that day. It was a good job Kevin was there as he read all the papers they put before me to sign. Sue had in fact killed herself. They gave me Sue's bags and told Kevin where Sue was so that I could go round to say my goodbyes. Then it was back home. It was a strange feeling, I had anticipated this moment many times. Sue had made so many attempts and been so ill so many times before. At least she was now at peace. Now to go back and spread the bad news, Kevin would tell our friends in the village and I would have to start the task of telling our family. We got back and went into the house, Pam was in the lounge and she came out and said Becky and Nicky were upstairs and Natalie was down here with her. I went up to Nicky's room and they were in each other's arms Nicky was crying his eyes out. Becky was holding him. I asked if he wanted to talk and he said later. I returned downstairs to the Lounge. Natalie asked. "Is Nicky still in tears?" I nodded, she said. "It was amazing to see Becky comforting Nicky in the car; she had just the words for him. I left her to it and stayed downstairs with Pam." Later that evening Nicky and I took the girls home and explained to their parents just what had happened. They were shocked but not surprised. It had been a long time coming. I told them I would let them know when the funeral was. There was so much to do. What had started out, as school time fun was now weekend grief. We got home and with heavy heart I set to making all those phone calls.
