A rash of song inspired stories, has persuaded Girl Friday
WMM(CE) to run a Festival of Song Inspired stories. This is
my entry. The song is from the album Brain Salad Surgery
from Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Unlike my previous story (see
below) we had to make the song explicit. I set myself the
task of using the lyrics in the story itself - it seemed
like a good idea at the time, now it seems merely
masochistic! Let me know what you think.

Note: In this plain text italics are indicated in the way
that I have just demonstrated. For example the first line of
the story is in italics.

Still � You Turn Me On
By Arty

"Do you want to be an angel?"

"No!" Penny stuck her tongue out at me and giggled as I
responded in kind. The teacher sighed. Every year it was the
same, persuading teenagers to behave sensibly during the
annual school Christmas production. This year we were going
to perform a Nativity Play.

"Have you cast Mary yet?" I was cast as Joseph and I would
like nothing better than having Penny playing Mary opposite
me, not to mention all that extra rehearsal time! The
teacher looked at me and shook her head at my obvious
clowning. Miss Mellor was nice though - for a teacher that
is.

"Do you want to be a star?"

The question caught Penny by surprise; she recovered well
though.

"Are you serious? I can be Mary?"

"If it will keep you two from disrupting the rehearsals."

I had the good grace to look sheepish, we never kept our
attraction for each other a secret, but in Drama Club we let
ourselves go, using every opportunity to indulge ourselves.
It hadn't always been like that; Penny grinned and looked at
me speculatively.

"Look you two, Mary and Joseph are an unmarried couple, and
Mary was most definitely a virgin!"

"Yes Miss." Penny looked downcast, the wink she gave me,
however, belied her apparent docility.

Miss Mellor was not deceived and glared at her; her mouth
was twitching though, so the effect was muted. Giving us up
as a lost cause, she turned to the rest of the group and
proceeded to complete the casting. Once the rehearsal
schedules were drawn up the Drama Club drifted off in twos
and threes.

"Do you want to play some magic on my guitar?" I whispered
in Penny's ear. She giggled.

"I thought it was a trombone?" Said she, emphasizing the
final syllable with a lascivious leer. The lust in her voice
sent a shiver down my spine. Once more I thanked my lucky
stars that Penny and I had hooked up. We'd been friends
forever before we discovered that our attraction was much
more than merely platonic.

-oOo-

"Do you want to be a poet?"

I looked up from my latest magnum opus to see the speaker.
Penny moved behind me and began reading over my shoulder.
Hurriedly I covered the poem that I'd been working on. Too
late.

"Do you want to be my string?
You could be anything.
Do you want to be the lover of another?
Undercover? You could even be the man on the moon." Penny
intoned the lines. "Very profound what's it about?"

"It's just something I'm working on."

"Come on, we'll be late for Drama Club."

I collected my papers, stuffed them in my bag and followed
her out of the library. Drama Club was our favourite
activity.

"Okay get into pairs, boy and girl, for this exercise." Miss
Mellor looked around as we paired up. Penny and I were an
obvious pair and eventually everyone had someone that they
were comfortable with. "I want you to take some time and
work up an improvisation based on the following premise: one
of you has an unrequited love for the other; something has
happened, I'll let you decide what, that has persuaded you
to 'bite the bullet' and make your feelings known."

Now this was interesting. I could see several people looking
embarrassed at the possibilities presented by this exercise,
and then it hit me - I was in love with Penny! I mean I knew
I loved her, but as a friend. Now that the seed had been
planted I knew that what I felt for her was more, much more
than just platonic. I turned to Penny and saw her with new
eyes; she blushed at my frank appraisal.

"Look if you'll be the object of my desire, I'll be the
unrequited lover."

Penny smiled. "Do you want to rehearse or shall we just wing
it?"

I made a decision, "Let's just see where the mood takes us
shall we?"

"You're on."

We waited as several couples portrayed various stages of
embarrent ranging from slight to paralysed with fear and
then it was our turn.

"Do you want to be the player?" Penny smiled at me as I
started to circle around her. "Do you want to be the
string?"

"I just want to be me. What do you want Tony?"

"Let me tell you something, it just don't mean a thing." I
stopped in front of her and reached for her hands, I stared
deep into her eyes; you could hear a proverbial pin drop, so
silent were the rest of the group. "You see it really
doesn't matter when you're buried in disguise by the dark
glass on your eyes, though your flesh has crystallised." I
leaned closer and lowered my voice, "Still � you turn me
on."

Her eyes opened wide as she realised what I was about to do
next. I closed my eyes just as our lips touched. I felt her
moan into my mouth as my tongue began a tentative
exploration of her lips, her mouth opened wide as she
invaded mine. Now it was my turn to groan as she pressed her
body against mine. I released her hands so that I could pull
her closer and she did likewise. So close were we that I
could feel the points of her nipples against my chest. Lack
of oxygen made us break our kiss.

"Do you want to be the pillow where I lay my head?" I
stage whispered into her ear.

"Yes."

"Do you want to be the feathers lying in my bed?"

"Yes"

"Do you want to be a colour cover magazine; create a
scene." We kissed again.

"I've loved you forever, I can't hold it in anymore; it's
driving me crazy; please tell me that I'm not alone."

Her eyes blazed and the smile that she gave me was blinding
in its intensity.

"You're not alone."

That seemed a reasonable place to stop the improv. I held
onto her hand and pulled us into an impromptu bow. The rest
of the group erupted into applause and Miss Mellor looked at
us appraisingly. We were the last pair to go so we sat down
together, Penny sat on my lap as if it were the most natural
thing in the world and Miss Mellor started to read the notes
that she had made on everyone's performances. Penny and I
cuddled and tuned her out; this was all so new and it was
all that I could do not to carry her off.

"Now we come to Penny and Tony." We were jerked from our
reverie, "I'd like to say that it was, on the face of it, a
truly outstanding performance." She paused for dramatic
effect; it was Drama Club after all. "But it wasn't a
performance was it?" This drew gasps from everyone except
Penny and me.

"No, I realised as you were giving us the premise to the
improvisation that I was in love with Penny, so I took it
and ran with it." I looked at Penny and smiled at the
adoration that I saw there. "God knows what would have
happened if she hadn't felt the same way about me."

"Oh for Christ's sake Tony! You two have been in love for
the last six months, you've just been too stupid to realise
it!" This came from Alison, one of the more outspoken
members of our group. The rest chimed in with expressions of
agreement. I was shocked to see that Miss Mellor was one of
them. Penny looked at her accusingly.

"You set us up?"

"You might think that; I couldn't possibly comment."

Everyone laughed. Since anything else would have been an
anticlimax, the group broke up and we went our separate
ways. Miss Mellor admonished us to encourage the rest of the
school to audition for the Nativity Play that we were doing
this year. A collective groan was all the reply that she
got.

-oOo-

"Every day a little sadder, A little madder," I hummed
Pooh-bear-like to myself. We were painting the flats with a
dark blue paint that was supposed to be the night sky.
"Someone get me a ladder." I'd painted as high as I could
go and there was about three feet still to paint.

"Here you go." Andy carried the stepladder that he had been
using to adjust one of the backdrops. I climbed up and
carried on painting the sky. Penny was working on the other
side of the flat. She was painting a street scene, her side
would be used for the trip through Bethlehem where we would
search for somewhere to stay, and my side would be for the
scene where the Angels appear to the Shepherds and for
scenes with the Thee Wise Men.

Later when it was dry Penny and I would have great fun
fixing tin-foil stars to the 'sky'. Miss Mellor came by and
watched me painting for a moment.

"I don't want any identifiable constellations."

I grimaced. "You ain't no fun. No more." I moaned in my best
KFC accent.

"I want them concentrating on the action on the stage. Not
trying to identify Orion or The Plough!"

"Yes Miss Mellor."

"Now that wasn't so bad was it?"

Penny giggled from the other side. I muttered dire threats
under my breath and carried on painting.

-oOo-

Penny and I were in the throes of passion. The rest of her
family weren't due back for an hour or two and our minds
turned to sex, as they were wont to do nowadays. The
alteration in our relationship wasn't the surprise to them
as it was to us. My mother, in particular, was unutterably
smug. But it did mean that since we were already in the
habit of spending almost all of our time together we didn't
have to sneak around. No car seats for us! Well we did do it
a few times, just to see what all the fuss was about, but
neither of us was too impressed and we decided to leave
car-sex to the realms of fiction where it belonged. Beds -
OK, settee - OK, floors - hard but OK and we would wait for
the weather to warm up before we tried the joys of al-fresco
lovemaking! Both of had eyed up the swings and the climbing
frame in the children's area of the local park - we'd burst
out laughing when we'd looked at each other and realised
that we'd both been thinking about the same thing.

Of course you can only spend so much time in bed and we had
always enjoyed our debates - or rows - as our families
called them. Our current disagreement was about whether it
was better to be a creative or a producer. I was getting
poetic about it again.

"Do you want to be the singer?" I paused for dramatic
effect, "Do you want to be the song?"

"Let me tell you something" Penny poked me in the chest
for emphasis, "you just couldn't be more wrong."

I love it when she gets mad, her eyes flash and she gets
flushed like she does when she comes - and of course kissing
and making up is just so much fun.

"You're beautiful when you're angry."

"You're annoying when you play Devil's Advocate."

"Yeah but you love me anyway."

Penny sniffed and turned from me in exaggerated disdain.
This was my cue. I started to tickle her. Before long I had
her helpless beneath me, until then I had been concentrating
on tickling her to maximum effect, now I looked her in the
face and was immediately lost; the fire in her eyes took my
breath away.

-oOo-

It was Monday, the Dress Rehearsal had been a disaster; the
problem with doing a nativity play is that everyone is
convinced they already know everything they need to know as
the story is so familiar. As a result everyone had a rude
awakening as this translated into missed cues, forgotten
lines and generally slapdash stagecraft. Our first
performance was Friday. We were not a happy bunch as we
gathered for the post rehearsal meeting.

Surprisingly Miss Mellor was not too displeased.

"Now you know why the Dress Rehearsal was scheduled so
early. Right people you've had your wakeup call; we have two
more days to get it right." She looked at each of us in
turn. "The real Dress Rehearsal is Thursday."

We all groaned, we'd been suckered with the oldest trick in
the book. But the lesson was well aimed and we took it to
heart.

-oOo-

I looked round the edge of the proscenium arch and peered at
the assembled crowds. The house lights were up as the last
few stragglers made their way to their seats.

"Looks like a full house."

Around me the black-clad stagehands stood quietly and the
air of expectancy crackled around me. Okay this was just
your standard no-frills nativity play, but the thrill of the
impending performance was intoxicating and then I started to
feel sick.

"You see I really have to tell you that it all gets so
intense." Penny whispered in my ear. "From my experience
it just doesn't seem to make sense."

I turned, grateful for the distraction; stage fright is no
picnic, but I knew from bitter experience if I wasn't
feeling frightened before I went on then the performance was
lousy.

"Thanks."

Before I could say anything Miss Mellor arrived.

"Go back to the dressing rooms and stop upsetting my stage
manager!" The smile took the sting from the words. Grumbling
we did as we were told.

-oOo-

The applause was tumultuous, stamping feet and the odd
"Bravo". This was our sixth or seventh curtain call, I
wasn't sure and the applause didn't seem to be dying down
any.

"Last time." Miss Mellor shouted above the noise. We all
gathered for the final curtain call.

-oOo-

Later, as we rested I turned to Penny and stared at her in
wonderment. How could anyone so wonderful, so gorgeous and
so right, be satisfied with me?

"Why me?" I asked her.

Penny turned to me, "Still � you turn me on."

--Fin--

Note: The phrases in italics are the lines of the song:

Still � You Turn Me On
Greg Lake

Do you want to be an angel,
Do you want to be a star,
Do you want to play some magic on my guitar?
Do you want to be a poet,
Do you want to be my string?
You could be anything.
Do you want to be the lover of another
Undercover? You could even be the man on the moon.

Do you want to be the player,
Do you want to be the string?
Let me tell you something,
It just don't mean a thing.
You see it really doesn't matter
when you're buried in disguise
by the dark glass on your eyes,
though your flesh has crystallised;
Still � you turn me on.

Do you want to be the pillow where I lay my head,
Do you want to be the feathers lying in my bed?
Do you want to be a colour cover magazine;
create a scene.
Every day a little sadder,
A little madder,
Someone get me a ladder.

Do you want to be the singer,
Do you want to be the song?
Let me tell you something
you just couldn't be more wrong.
You see I really have to tell you
that it all gets so intense.
From my experience
It just doesn't seem to make sense,
Still � you turn me on.

{martinmac} book 1 New Year 27/30 (Mmmmfffgg rom
ped inc cons oral preg creampie)

I slowly woke up with a feeling of being crushed, I opened
my eyes and had to hurriedly focus my eyes as Kate was
entwined around me, it felt as if she was trying to squeeze
the life out of me.

"Happy birthday darling." I watched as her eyes opened.

"It's my birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!" She rapidly sat up. "When do I
get my presents?"

"You know you get your presents after breakfast. For now
you get a big kiss." I matched words to actions and kissed
my little lovely girl. She hugged me again and I slid down
her lithe body, kissing her tiny breasts and then tickling her
navel with my tongue. I slowly slid further down to her
puffy lips; I licked from the bottom to the top and sucked her
clit. As she responded to my attentions I moved over her
labia and drilled in with my tongue, licking up my spend
from the middle of the night. I sucked her out cleaning her
cunt with my tongue and lips. Kate was soon writhing as I
brought her to her climax. I was holding tight to her as she
rocked beneath me. Her hips were drumming out a tattoo of
pleasure on the bed. I felt her hands pulling me deeper into
her groin as she went into her second orgasm.

I heard her groans become muffled; I looked up and saw my
wife kissing her and caressing her tits. I moved onto her clit
and sucked it hard, feeling it pop from its sheath. My finger
slid into her slippery cunt as we brought her to yet another
orgasm. I released her bum and moved up the bed beside
her. I met Natalie at the top as she kissed me. We looked at
our little daughter, spark out and satiated. As Kate's eyes
opened Natalie wished her a happy birthday.

"I had better go down and cook breakfast. Natalie can you
wake them all up as after breakfast Gill is coming over to go
shopping."

"I'll just have a shower and then I will get them up." I
watched as Natalie and Kate went into the bathroom and
then I went down. I pulled the bag of sausages from the
fridge and put them on a baking tray in the Aga. Then I set
to preparing the rest of the food for cooking. The tomatoes
into olive oil, the mushrooms prepared. I was cooking 4
slices of toast at a time and trimming the crusts before
putting them in the toast racks. I put a large casserole in the
slow oven to keep everything warm in. I had the coffee
maker running when Natalie finally came down with a bag
of presents. She took them through to the lounge. I carried
on cooking the breakfast. I filled the juicer with oranges and
started to catch the juice as it poured from the spout into the
iced jugs. I put the bacon on to grill and put the frying pan
for the eggs on. Natalie called everyone down and poured
out their orange. I transferred all the hot food to the breakfast
trolley and wheeled it through to the dining room. We then
tucked into the hot breakfast.

It was fascinating to watch Tim and Callie as they ate their
food. They were not yet used to the flavour of estates food.
We were still eating when Gill arrived. I called to her to join
us for breakfast. She brought another plate from the kitchen.

"Do you want an egg? If so I can soon cook you one."

"No thanks, this will be fine." She tucked into tomato on
toast with sausage, bacon, black pudding and mushrooms.
She soon caught up with us and finally was having toast and
marmalade. We took our second mug of coffee through to
the lounge. Natalie handed out Kate's presents. It was fun to
watch her eyes light up as she opened present after present. I
think her favourite was the play station with the dance mat
and music studio. There was everything from a Barbie doll
to the playstation with everything in between. Finally the
last present and card was opened. There was still the post to
arrive but that wouldn't be till later. The minibus arrived and
all of them except the birthday girl decided to go into
Shrewsbury to shop. Natalie was going to kit Tim and Callie
out with all they needed including their school uniforms.
Gill was going to take Callie to the bridal shop and get her
measured. Without letting her know it was for a bridesmaids
dress if possible. After they had left I loaded all the plates
into the dishwasher and ran it. I then picked up all the bonus
cheques and set off with Kate to deliver them to the staff.

"There would be some surprised faces as the bonuses were
much larger than past years. It had been a very good year for
the estate. It was about 10 times more than they were
expecting. Those who banked at the same bank as me, which
was to my knowledge all of them would be able to get their
money today. The rest would have to wait until the cheques
cleared. I did enjoy playing Father Christmas. At several of
the houses I was rewarded with a hug and kiss from happy
recipients. I suspected that most would be down the shops
spending some of their windfall. I was happy that their work
and mine had been rewarded. I knew that I would get 110%
effort from them next year. Dick tried to argue that I had
given him too much and that he didn't deserve it and that I
had given him enough already. I just gave him a copy of the
shares he had found and their value.

He stopped arguing eventually. Kate and I went home and I
helped her carry her presents upstairs. I set up her
playstation and she was trying out the dance studio. I left her
to it dancing away on the dance mat and went downstairs to
finish off the office work I had started the night before. I
finished my work and made myself a coffee and sat down
with the papers. It was good to relax a bit. I heard the
postman arrive and I went out to collect the mail. There were
a lot of cards for Kate alongside the Christmas cards that
were arriving daily. Natalie had strung cord around the hall
for them all to go on. There was also a letter from Cath
Markham with a date in January for her to come round and
fill in the forms for Tim and Callie. She would just be
updating the forms we filled in when we fostered Jim,
Mandy and Kate. Ailsa had evidently spoken to her after
Mrs Johnson had contacted her.

After I finished my coffee I went to the garage and brought
out the Vario. For a family runabout it was enormous. I had
decided not to have one in my usual red, as the local
disability buses were red Vario's. It could have up to 14
seats with mini DVD player/TV's in the headrests, automatic
transmission and a head up display. It was an absolute dream
to drive. I just wondered what Tim and Callie would make
of it. It replaced my old Mercedes van, which had run out of
space and oomph. It had been designed to tow my new
caravan.

I heard the taxi return and disgorge its excited passengers.
They came in loaded with bags. Callie's face was beaming.

"Roy, Gill has asked me to be a bridesmaid. She has ordered
my dress. Oh it is so marvellous." I don't think I had seen
anyone so happy as Callie was that morning. Tim was
looking pleased as well, Gill had asked him to be an usher,
and so he had been to the suit shop to order his top hat and
tails. That was the one thing I was not looking forward to
about the wedding; dressing up. Gill, Leonard and Rose had
asked if I would give Gill away and I in a moment of
weakness had agreed, so instead of hiding decently in my
suit I would be standing at the front in top hat and tails. I had
got out some snacks and drinks to keep us going until we ate
our lunch.

I sent everyone up to change for the family dinner party. We
were taking over a play barn at 2:00 for a couple of hours. It
was their quietest time just after the lunchtime rush and we
had agreed with the owners that we would buy up a whole
period of 1 hour, all the tickets and then for the rest of the
time there would be a decreasing number of children until
the core time would be just us. At 4:00 we would go in for
dinner then drive back to the village hall for Jim, Mandy and
Kate's parties. They had decided what they wanted. A family
party on their birthday and a joint party the Saturday before
Christmas, Kate's birthday.

The organising of that had been interesting, we actually had
two separate buffets organised by Jo, one for the younger
children and a second for the older teenagers and adults. We
then went out to the van. Tim and Callie were astonished at
the size of it but as we sat 11 people in it they understood
why I had such a large vehicle. Natalie had organised body
protectors for Tim and Callie from the stables. I drove across
Shrewsbury to a village just north of Telford. We went into
the play barn and the children were on the apparatus like a
dose of salts. Leaving Natalie, Gill and Alex to sit with me
and watch them play. I went to the restaurant to get us 4
drinks, Natalie would organise the soft drinks for the others
in the playbarn. As the driver I had a light shandy. I had no
intention of drink driving with such a precious load. At one
point a family arrived and were being turned away as we had
bought all the tickets. Kate saw the littlest child in tears and
she ran out of the apparatus to me.

"Can't we let them in dad? It's spoiling my fun to see her
cry."

"Ok love, it is your birthday, if that's what you want I will
let them in."

I went to the counter and heard the assistant explaining how
all the tickets had been bought.

"The birthday girl has said she doesn't want to see your little
girl upset so she has asked me to give you the tickets you
need to play." They were thrilled at being allowed in and I
invited the parents to sit with us. We were sat talking when
the father leant across to me.

"Why are those two children wearing horse riders body
protection in here?"

"Looking at your older children's age you will probably hear
a garbled account next term. Which schools do they go to?"

"Central high and central primary."

"Then you will definitely hear next term as they will be
going to Central High. Natalie and I are their foster parents.
Their biological parents beat them very badly and their
backs are still criss crossed with wheals from a cane and a
whip. So if they want to play they have to wear protection."

"That's Kate isn't it? Alison is in the year below her."
Suddenly she covered her mouth with her hand. She was
beaten too wasn't she?"

"Yes along with Mandy and Jim." I pointed them out as
well.

So you are fostering five children then who have been
beaten."

"No, only fostering 2 cousins, we have adopted the other 3
already. They are all from related families. The two in body
armour arrived Thursday evening. The girl is pregnant, it
occurred during the beatings they both received at the girls
house. Their parents are in custody now.

"How old is she?"

She was 11 when she was made pregnant and she is 12
now."

"Why are you telling us her private details, surely you would
want it to remain private?"

"We would, but she will be going to school, if she was
wearing a t shirt now instead of the body armour you would
be able to see her bump. By the time school restarts she will
be showing more. It is important to get the truth out before
the rumours start flying." Their parents started beating them
a long time ago, together. Tim's parents would come round
with him for what can only be described as whipping parties.
They were tied to a bench, hand in hand. This summer Callie
had her first period and the parents decided it would be good
fun for the boy to have sex with her. He tried to refuse and
he was thrashed until he finally agreed. They held her down
and forced him to fuck his cousin. The end result is she is 28
weeks pregnant."

Thank you for sharing with us, I will make sure that my
children know the truth and will pass it on that these two
will be starting and what they have been through. I am on
the parent teachers committee so I can spread it that way. At
least we now have the nursery at the school. We were so
thrilled when we heard about that. It is so good that young
Sadie is back in school with her baby in the nursery. Thank
you again for letting our children play, the littlest one was so
disappointed when she thought she wouldn't be able to
play."

"That's alright, my lot seem to be enjoying yours joining in
with them. Kate and her boyfriend seem to be getting on
well with Alison. The next session started and the public
were being allowed back in so the slides were starting to fill.
It had worked out well with the timing, only the one family
had arrived during the closed session and they had been
invited in. Finally we moved through to the restaurant and
sat down to Kate's birthday dinner. All I will say about the
food was that it was plentiful and hot. We had a good time
eating. Finally they brought out a birthday cake with 9
candles for Kate to blow out.

We headed back home to change for the party; Tim and
Callie were dressed in their new clothes. It was fun to watch
them admiring themselves in the mirror and feel the
material.

Callie, do you like your party dress?"

"Oh yes Roy, it is lovely, Natalie helped me to choose it." It
was of a similar style to the dresses the other girls were
wearing. Long red dress with a slit up the thigh and very low
cut. The girls all liked to show off. "I have never had such a
nice party dress. I never got to go to parties, mum wouldn't
let me go."

"Well you can go to parties here, in fact you will have to,
with so many of us." When it is your birthday you will be
able to choose your own party."

"But I don't know what to do for a party."

"Don't worry the others will be only too pleased to give you
their ideas." I watched all the girls come together, a vision
of red loveliness; all with dresses slashed to the thigh and
low-cut bodices. Natalie had provided Kate with a fully
padded bra and Callie had a slightly padded bra. They
looked a million dollars. We men looked pretty sharp if I say
so myself, Natalie had chosen my outfit for me. It was not
what I would have bought, but it kept her happy. I just kept
thinking about the old record; the oldest swinger in town.

Normally we would have walked the 300 yards to the hall
but with the weather I had ordered the taxi. It was a lot
further by road but it meant we would still be smart when we
arrived. The party was soon in full swing, the music
changing from Tim's type of music to Kate's music and back
again. The three age groups enjoyed themselves.

Natalie and I watched as the guests enjoyed themselves. We
sat there enjoying each other's company. Callie came over to
join us.

"Natalie, why am feeling so tired all the time?"

"Well Callie it is probably due to the fact you are 28 weeks
pregnant and you have not been watching your diet. What
your parents were doing to you has probably not helped
you." You will be going to the antenatal clinic on Monday. I
have no doubt you will be started on vitamins and you have
now started eating properly. You should soon have your
energy back."

"That will be good, I don't like feeling tired all the time." I
decided to add my two pennorth.

"The other thing that has made you tired is always worrying
about when your parents were going to set about you. I
reckon that when you heard Tim was coming your heart
sank as you knew your parents had planned something nasty
for you both."

"Your right, I had never thought about that, but once mum
had told me Tim was coming for the weekend I felt awful.
The thing was I liked Tim. I could never understand. Now I
do." Natalie turned to Callie.

"Come on then, over to the buffet and lets get some good
food inside us. One good thing about this buffet is even the
so called junk food like the burgers and chicken nibbles are
good. Jo has got them specially for us. The chicken nibbles
are actually pieces of whole meat dipped in breadcrumb or
batter and the burgers are made from mince from the village
shop. It is our own recipe."

I joined them at the buffet and we loaded our plates with
burgers and chicken along with platefuls of salad. We
brought back sparkling grape juice to drink Tim came over
to join us looking very tired.

"Roy, my back is hurting."

"Lets go to the back and have a quick look." We moved to
the back room and I lifted his shirt. I could see some fresh
bleeding under the Nu-skin. It wasn't leaking.

"You are bleeding a bit. I think you have overdone it a bit.
Come and get some food then sit with us. You are not well
enough for non stop partying." I sat down as Natalie took
Tim over to the buffet. It was only a matter of minutes later
that Callie put down her plate and leant against me. I gently
stroked her head and shoulders as she slumped against me.
Fast asleep. I looked over to Nat and nodded at Callie. Nat
looked and smiled at me. I continued to stroke her long
brown hair, as it flowed across her shoulders and down to
her waist. I was very gentle smoothing across her back. She
shuddered and slumped further into me.

I was thinking about how we would deal with her acceptance
into school, how we would deal with her pregnancy. Tim
went back to the buffet and fetched me another drink and
some food. Natalie was talking with him about his home life.
He still had problems believing that he was away from his
old home forever. I watched the party continue. Jim, Mandy
and Kate were really enjoying themselves. Their first
birthday party away from their personal hells. They were
like new creations. I thought especially about Mandy. How
when I first saw her she looked more like a boy, wearing
boy's clothes. I looked across at her now and she was an
absolute knockout. Her dress was slit to the thigh and the
bodice was showing off a lot of her breasts. The change was
spectacular and what was most pleasing was how happy she
looked. I looked down at the girl curled up on my lap and
wondered what she would be like in 4 months. Her baby
would have been born and she would be a 12-year-old
mother.

The party was finally winding down; all the children were
going home. I had ordered our transport and it would soon
be arriving. I called Jo over as he started to clear away. I
gave him his cheque and left him to clear away for me. We
then headed back home. Callie had woken enough to walk to
the taxi but when we got home I carried her into the house
and laid her on the sofa. It had been a wonderful day. Natalie
took Kate straight up to bed. Nick, Becky, Jim and Mandy
then went upstairs. I gently picked Callie up and carried her
to her room I took her red shoes off and undid the protector.
Then with Tim's help, we slid it off. I then undid the sash on
the dress. Tim helped me to slide the dress off and then we
removed her tights, pants and bra. I quickly covered her
sleeping form with the quilt. I said goodnight to Tim and
gave him a gentle hug. I kissed him on the top of his head.
Not wanting to embarrass him. I gave Callie a quick hug and
kiss then went downstairs to rejoin Natalie.

I went into the kitchen and made hot drinks then joined
Natalie on the sofa.

"That was quite a day love, how are you feeling."

"Totally drained. I think Oscar is tiring me more than I
expected."

"Well you have had a bit more pressure these last few days
what with Tim and Callie arriving plus the parties. How do
you feel about having a pregnant 12 year old in the house?"

"Well when it becomes public knowledge it will take the
strain off me. Talking of which we had better tell Kevin the
whole story so he can circulate the truth. Will he still be
up?"

"Well it is only 10:00 so he should be." I picked up the
phone and rang him. He answered immediately.

"Hello Kevin. I need your mouth."

"Well that's a nice way to put it Roy."

"Well we have two more foster children, they are cousins to
my 3 and have had similar treatment."

"Oh no, how bad?"

"Very, they had to go in to the Nuffield to have their backs
cleaned up and dressed under a general."

"That bad then."

"Yes, and to make it worse the girl, who is just 12 is
pregnant."

"Oh no, who is the father?"

"That is the sad part; the two sets of parents decided that the
13 year old cousin should have sex with the 11 year old. He
refused so they thrashed him until he would. He is the father,
they started putting them together the week after her first
period."

"Oh Roy, that is so evil. I find it hard to believe."

"Well the mother of one and the father of the other have
confessed. What they need is their true story being spread,
not with all the gory details, but definitely including the
bravery of young Tim. Callie told me she heard his beating
and she blames herself for that because when they were told
what was going to happen she screamed and Tim then said
no and he was beaten for hours she said."

"You will have your work cut out helping them."

"Well I have the other 3 to help Natalie and I deal with it."

"Roy, I think I can make a sermon from it, linked to the
Advent story. Would that be alright?"

"Will it show Tim in a positive light Kevin?"

"Oh very much so. He will be very much the hero."

"Will it be identifiable?"

"By name no, but when he starts at school, I assume he will
be going to school here."

"Yes Kevin he will."

"When he starts school he will be able to be identified as
much of a victim as the girl, but a very brave hero as well.
As he tried to defend her."

"If you think it will work, go for it. Anything positive for
that young couple will be a bonus for them. My fear has
been that he will be blamed for his girlfriends pregnancy. Oh
yes they are now a couple."

"I will work that in of how good can come out of evil."

"Thanks Kevin, it will be great if you can help like that. Oh
and did you get my e-mail, can you come for supper
tomorrow night with Pam after the service?"

"Oh yes Roy, if you check your e-mail you will see my
reply." I laughed.

"That is my next job. See you tomorrow." I went through to
the study and checked my in box, sure enough there was
Kevin's message." I thought about how he would be
preparing his sermon, I just hoped it would prove helpful to
Tim and Callie. I would tell them about it tomorrow. I went
back to the lounge and Natalie was fast asleep. I gently
picked her up and carried her upstairs to our room where I
undressed her and put her under the covers. I went back
downstairs and turned all the lights off and then went to bed
myself. Natalie must have sensed me climbing into bed as
she latched onto me. We slept.

We were woken by a scream; it was Callie again. We went
along to her room and Tim was standing by the bed and
Callie was thrashing around on the bed.

"Natalie, take Tim to our bed, I will be along in a minute." I
watched Natalie lead Tim away to our bed. I sat down beside
Callie and gently spoke to her.

"You are safe now, your mum and dad can't get to you. We
love you and care for you." I kept on repeating the message
as I stroked her thrashing head. Slowly she quietened down
and fell back into sleep. I picked her up and carried her to
my bed. Tim was curled up inside Natalie's arms. I laid
Callie down and climbed in beside her and drew her into my
arms. I was lying on my left side with Callie lying with her
neck on my left arm and my right arm was stroking her hair.
I could feel her body against mine. Her little bump was
sticking into me. Suddenly I felt a nudge against my belly.
Then another. I suddenly realised that I could feel her baby
kicking. I watched as her eyes slowly opened.

"What am I doing here?"

"You had a nightmare, you were screaming and thrashing
around in your bed. I told Natalie to bring Tim to our bed
and then when I had calmed you down I brought you along
as well. What woke you was your little cherub trying to
score a goal for Shrewsbury town. I felt him as he kicked
you. It was quite strange to feel him kick me through you."

"Thank you Roy for looking after me so well. I feel safe
with you."

I leaned forward and kissed her lightly on the lips. "I'm glad
you feel safe, that is what I am trying to do. Time for you to
settle down." She gave a loud sigh and cuddled up to me.
Poor lamb, what a life she had up till now. I lay there
listening to her breathing slowing down; finally she was
asleep again. I would have to ring Bill in the morning. The
two of them needed to talk about their troubles. I slowly fell
asleep as well.

I woke the next morning; Callie was curled up beside me,
her arm around my waist. Tim was squashed against my
wife, wrapped up tight in her arms. Callie evidently felt me
moving as I got up to shower.

"Can I join you Roy?"

"If you want to."

"I want." We moved into the bathroom. The floor was warm
to our feet. "Is this what my bathroom will be like?"

"Yes love, Mandy and Jim's will be done at the same time as
well. They are all wheelchair accessible. I designed them
that way as my late wife was disabled and I had done a lot to
make my original bathroom accessible. I just developed that
further for Nick's bathroom, as they ride competitively
accidents can and do happen. I then realised the cost
differential to make new bathrooms fully accessible was
minimal so I did."

"Well I like this bathroom."

"We have a hot tub out on the patio, now that is nice, we can
sit in bubbling hot water up to our necks watching the
garden. We were in the tub when we were asked about you.
Would you like to try it?"

"Oh yes Roy." I went back into the bedroom and pressed the
button on the control panel. A lamp lit. It will be ready for us
in ten minutes. So lets have a drink. I took her by the hand
and led her to the kitchen. I quickly made mugs of tea and
Callie sat on my lap drinking. I looked at her back, in some
ways it looked worse as the bruising was fading leaving the
whip and cane marks in stark relief against her white skin. I
took her through the lounge and into the showers by the tub.
The air blowers had done their work and the room was
warm. I turned on the showers and we stepped under. I
gently washed the little girl; I was especially careful when I
washed her back. Well actually washed the Nu-skin coating
on her back. I then set to, to wash myself.

"Would you like me to wash your back Roy?"

"Yes please darling." I stood there as I felt a little hand
sliding the shower gel across my back.

"Roy, why is it you don't have any hair on your body. Tim's
growing hair but you have none and you are a man."

"Well Natalie used an electrolysis machine on me, that
destroys the hair. The rest is got rid of with hair removing
cream. Eventually all will have been permanently removed."
We rinsed all the soap from our bodies and we quickly went
to the hot tub. The 5 paces from the shower room to the tub
were really frigid. There was thick snow on the ground in
the garden. I don't know about Callie but it brought me out
in Goosebumps it was so cold. The hot bubbling water felt
so good on our bodies.

"Roy my head feels cold." I reached behind her to the
controls and pressed for heat, the hot air curtains on the roof
started blowing warm air across the tub. I drew Callie onto
my lap and cuddled her.

"Roy, I do like it here, can I stay with you all?"

"Of course you can. Natalie and I would like to adopt you."

"I heard that mentioned, what actually does it mean?"

"Well we would all go before a judge, Social services would
report on Natalie and I, then because of your age you would
be asked if you wanted to be adopted into the McGarvy
family and if we all said yes then you would be issued with a
certificate of adoption, which in effect replaces your birth
certificate and your name would change to Callie Jane
McGarvy. You would then be my daughter for ever, with the
same rights and responsibilities as Nick, my natural son and
Jim, Mandy and Kate who we have already adopted."

"Can you adopt Tim and I then?"

"Yes, but before we can adopt Tim, he has to ask us. We
won't force our family on anyone. I can say yes to you
though as we have discussed it as a family already. You can
now call me dad if you want. You will have to discuss with
Natalie as to whether you call her mum or Natalie. Jim and
Mandy call her Natalie as she is close to their ages and
attend the same school. I think she would prefer to be called
by her name."

"Roy, I will call her Natalie at school but I would really like
her to be my mum, to replace the mum who is in my mind
now."

"In which case I am sure she will let you call her mum.
Talking of which, here they come."

We watched as they stepped from the shower cubicle and
across to the tub. They quickly slid in; Tim trying to avoid
showing his erection.

"You don't need to be shy Tim. Oh and Natalie we have a
new daughter, she says she wants to be adopted."

"Oh that's lovely Callie, thank you for that vote of
confidence."

"Tim if you want to be adopted as well you have to do what
I did which is to ask dad."

"Tim, please don't feel pressured by your cousin."

"Roy I have wanted this ever since I first heard about the
possibility, can you both adopt me as well." I nodded to
Natalie and encouraged her to answer."

"Of course we will. We will get onto it as soon as possible.

"Natalie there is just one thing. Your new daughter wants to
call you mum, so that you can replace the mum who is in her
mind now."

"Hmmm. If you call me mum at home, can you call me
Natalie at school."

"I'll try mum." Natalie was then buried beneath her new
daughter, being comprehensively hugged.

"We'll tell everyone at breakfast. Talking of which we had
better get out and get dressed and start on breakfast."

I climbed up from the tub, leant in and reached for Natalie
and lifted her out of the water and landed her by my feet and
gave her a good morning kiss and scooted her into the
shower with a scoot on the bum. Then I lifted Callie out and
did the same. I expected Tim to have got out but he was
stood there with raised arms so he got the same treatment. I
then clicked the shut down button for the pool, the air
blowers stopped, the heater went down to the set back
temperature and the insulated cover went on.

Then I joined the others in the shower. They had washed off,
they stood around me and washed me down, their hands
roaming over me to clean the chlorine off me. Then through
to the body dryers, I pushed the start button as we walked
into the drying room and by the time we entered the room a
gale of warm dry air was blowing over us. We went upstairs,
Tim and Callie went to their room and Natalie and I went to
ours to dress.

We went downstairs and I started sorting out breakfast. I put
the sausages into the Aga to start cooking whilst Natalie
prepared the tomatoes and started them cooking. Tim was
getting the bacon and eggs from the fridge and then started
toasting the bread whilst Callie was preparing the
mushrooms. After checking the time I left Natalie in charge
and went into the study. I opened my address book program
to find Cath Markham's home phone number.

"Hello Cath, sorry to disturb you on a Sunday but this being
a short week I need to speak with you urgently."

"What can I do for you?"

"If Dorset ask you for a decision on whether Natalie and I
can adopt Tim and Callie are you in a position to approve?"

"So long as nothing has changed, yes."

"That's good as Tim and Callie have said they want us to
adopt them and I would like to do it before Christmas. Two
of the parents have signed the release forms, one each so
Mrs Johnson was prepared to go on that. If Mrs Johnson has
a fax machine are you able to fax her today? As then if she
can organise the judge we will go to Dorset tomorrow."

"Roy, have you seen the news, you wont get there, the roads
are so bad from last nights storms. But I can fax no problem
as she faxed me from home on Saturday night."

"I was actually thinking about going to halfpenny green
airport and flying. If it is that bad I might see if I can get a
helicopter in. I'll ring the air taxi service."

"Roy I'll send the fax now and if you ring Mrs Johnson in
half an hour she will know what is happening."

I rang the air taxi service and so long as there was no more
snow today they expected to be able to land on the farm. We
just needed to mark a landing zone. I heard Natalie go
upstairs to make sure everyone was awake. Breakfast would
be ready in ten minutes. I went into the kitchen and cuddled
up to Natalie and whispered in her ear.

"Cath is faxing the ok through to Mrs Johnson, if she can
organise the judge we will go down by helicopter as the
roads are too bad."

"That will be great Roy."

We loaded everything into the food trolley and Callie called
out that breakfast was ready." We went into the dining room
and served out breakfast. We were sitting drinking our last
cups of coffee when the phone rang; I answered it. It was
Janet Johnson. I went through to the study.

"Roy, I have spoken with the judge, he can see you
tomorrow, he remembers you and Natalie from when he
signed the adoption papers for Jim, Mandy and Kate. He will
be in court tomorrow, but when we arrive, I just give the
usher a message and he will adjourn the hearing for 10
minutes. Cath said you would be flying in by helicopter."

"That's right, can you arrange through the police for a
landing point and transport." I gave her the number of the air
taxi service I would be using. I rang off and rang the air taxi
company. They told me they had a six passenger helicopter
available for tomorrow so I arranged for a 10:00 pick up and
a 2:30 departure from Dorchester.

I went back into the dining room.

Natalie, Tim, Callie and myself are going to Dorchester
tomorrow to see the judge for their adoption. I have room for
2 more, would anyone like to come with us. Kate said she
would but no one else. I looked at Larry, "would you like to
come with Kate?"

"Oh can I?"

"Of course you can. We are flying by helicopter from here as
the roads are too bad too drive. I will double check with your
mum that it is alright." I went to the study and rang Jenny on
her mobile.

"Oh Roy, I am glad you rang, Charles' brother has told us
that the roads to the village won't be open till Christmas eve
at the earliest."

"Don't worry about it. Larry is perfectly happy here. What I
have rung about is we have to go to Dorchester tomorrow
and Kate would like Larry to come with us."

"That's no problem."

"You haven't heard it all, we are going by helicopter. The
two new children are being adopted tomorrow. The only
way to go is by chopper and Kate wants to go with us and
would like Larry to go with her."

"That's all right, it should be safer than driving and if you
feel it is safe then I have no problems with it."

I rang off and told Larry the good news. I also told him he
would be staying with us longer than expected as his parents
were stuck in the peak district. The children went upstairs to
play on Nick's console and PC. Natalie and I were left
together.

"Natalie, Kevin is going to use the experience of Tim and
Callie in the sermon today. I was talking with him last night
and how we needed to tell the story. He asked if he could do
it from the pulpit as part of the Christmas message. I said
fine; so he is."

"Would you like to go and listen Roy?"

"I think I would, but we couldn't take Tim or Callie."

"Of course not, I think you should go though, so if anyone
wants to talk about it, you will be there." I went up to change
for church, whilst I was in my room Kate joined me.

"Where are you going dad?"

Kevin is going to tell Tim and Callie's story as part of the
sermon at church so Natalie and I think one of us should be
there. So I am going."

"Can I come with you please."

"What about Larry?"

"He could come to."

"Call him through, I will then explain what is happening and
ask if he wants to go."

"Larry can you come down to the study."

I heard Larry come running down in response to his
girlfriends call.

"Larry, I am going to church today as the vicar is going to
tell some of Tim and Callie's story in the sermon today. Kate
wants to join me and wonders if you would like to come to?"

"Ok Roy, that will be fine."

"Go and get your shoes and coats then and we will be off."
We walked through the snow along the path to the church,
the graveyard was a mass of smooth humps in the snow. We
went into church and Kevin saw us as we sat down.

"I wondered if you would come, I thought afterwards I
should have asked you, so that if anyone needs further
information you can give it. We sat down in the church, I
could see the differences since the funeral. The level access
and the new heating system. In fact it was if anything
slightly too warm. We sat through the service; Kate was
fascinated with the lighting of the advent candle. There was
just the big central candle left to light. The children left for
Sunday school at the reading before the sermon. Kevin's
sermon was painful to listen to. Describing how a young
man had resisted terrible pain for hours to try and protect a
young girl. How he went beyond the call of duty but failed.
He then described how it took Jesus to be able to protect
everyone.

"Often I am asked if the stories I use are real. I am afraid
that the story I used today is only to real. The young man
was 13 years old, the girl 11 years old at the time. He was
forced to have sex with his cousin. It took their parents hours
of beatings to force him to do it. The children have come to
this village for safety and protection. They will be starting in
central high after the New Year and I pray that they will be
welcomed into the heart of this village. That when the girl
gives birth to the baby she is expecting, it to will be
welcomed. Some of you may have guessed that Mr
McGarvy of The Old Rectory is adopting the children, he is
with us today to speak with any of you that can help these
traumatised children to settle into our village. Many of your
children have met them already as they were at the party last
night. They were the ones wearing horse riders body armour.

I was conscious of people turning to look at me, a few I
recognised as workers on the estate. The service came to its
conclusion and I stayed on for coffee after. A number of
people came up to speak with me about Tim and Callie.
They were horrified that children could be so mistreated.
They were assuring me that the children would be welcome
in the village. Kevin came over to me.

"How is it going?"

"We are going to Dorchester tomorrow to go before the
judge for us to be able to adopt them. They decided this
morning that they want to be adopted so we arranged it by
phone."

"That's good news. What response was there to my
sermon?"

"On the whole very good, the people who talked with me
were very supportive."

"That's good, it has done what I wanted it to do. Open
peoples minds, The story will be round the village by
tomorrow."

"Roy, I don't want to put a damper on your plans but the
road reports say that the county is cut off by road."

"We are not going by road, we are going by helicopter, it
will be landing in my field."

"Well that's ok then, I'll see you tonight then."

We walked back home through the snow. We went into the
house to the aroma of cooking dinner. Snowball fights and
snowman building was the order of the day after we had
eaten, well it was one way of clearing the landing field
without causing any upsets and burning off some energy.
We soon had the landing zone cleared with white markers at
the corners. I would spray them with dayglo orange
tomorrow. Once we had finished and night was falling we all
went in to the hot tub to warm through. I stopped in the
kitchen to heat up a batch of non alcoholic mulled wine. It
would warm us all from the inside as the tub warmed us
from the outside. I looked at Tim and Callie.

"This time tomorrow you will be McGarvy's, are you still
happy about that?"

"Oh yes dad, they answered together. After we got out of the
tub the children went off to play leaving Natalie and I.

"Nat, did you ever think you would have so many children
as this?"

"No love, it is awesome to realise that I effectively have 7
children and 2 more on the way."

"I was thinking about that, do you think we should treat
Callie's baby as another of our children, if Callie wants that.
I mean after she has weaned the baby for us to look after it
with ours, that would mean she and Tim would be able to
grow up normally. We need to discuss it before we involve
Tim and Callie."

"Yes Roy, it does sound like a good idea. So long as we tell
the baby right from the start."

Shall we call Tim and Callie down to talk?" I went to the
door and called Tim and Callie down.

"We called you down to talk about what happens after your
baby is born. We are both aware you are very young and
have your whole life before you. What we were thinking is if
Natalie and I officially adopt your child after you have
weaned it. Then we take over the day to day care. We would
ensure that the child understands the position from day 1. It
would mean that you would be able to go to university if you
wanted, you could look after the child as much as you
wanted but you would not lose out on your life chances."

"Roy I had worried about what effect having a baby would
have on me. Whether I could continue studying. But then I
felt that I was being selfish, it's my baby, it's my
responsibility."

"Actually Callie it was your parents and your aunt and
uncles responsibility. Now it will be Natalie's and mine as
we are going to be your parents."

"Thank you Roy, but can you really mean it?"

"We can and we do. You can double check with Natalie."

"Do you really mean it mum?"

"Yes love, in fact, once my baby is born and my milk is
properly in we can transfer your babies feeding to me and
your milk can be expressed at school for the hospital milk
bank. You can then decide how much you want to be mum
and how much you want to be big sister; though you decide
that at the time not now."

Suddenly my lap was filled with Callie crying her eyes out.
"Oh dad, I have been so worried about being a mum, I'm too
young, I'm not even a teenager yet. What do I know about
bringing up a baby?" I cuddled her to me.

"Hush little one, you don't need to worry, that is what
Natalie and I are here for. You can still be a child until you
are grown up. And even then you will still be our daughter.
I'll let you into a secret, even Natalie doesn't really know
how she will bring up our baby. The difference is she is an
adult, she has an adult partner, and a partner who has already
brought up one child." I watched with approval as Natalie
drew Tim onto her lap, I couldn't hear what she said, but I
guessed it was something similar to what I told Callie.

"All I will ask is that you keep this secret until tomorrow
night. There is a good reason but I can't explain until then.

"Ok dad, no problem."

I looked across at my wife and saw her eyes closing.
"Natalie I think it is time for you and Callie to have a nap,
you are both tired out. Tim slipped off Natalie's lap, I put
Callie down next to her mum. Natalie then reclined the sofa,
within minutes they were both asleep. Two minutes later
Tim had joined them. It was their bodies wanting to get rest
to help with their healing. I went through to the study and
rang Roger. I brought him up to speed about what had been
happening, I invited him round tomorrow night to re-order
the family trust.

"Roger, my reading of the trust document is that all my legal
children are beneficiaries, is that right, because if not I want
it to be so."

"You are correct, it didn't put a limit on how many children
you could enter into the trust."

"Does that include adopted children as well."

"Oh yes, because Jim, Mandy and Kate are adopted and Gill
was specifically written in. Any adopted children are
automatically in the trust."

"That's good because I am intending to adopt Callie and
Tim's baby when it is born as well."

"I will get Rhys to update your accounts for tomorrow so we
can give the figures."

"Don't worry about the figures, they are not important, what
is important are the principles behind it. Talking about
figures has the first transfer gone through to Gill's account?"

"Yes it went through on Friday along with all the others to
their new accounts, �60,000."

"I can tell her now then. If you hear a loud noise it is just
Gill reacting when I tell her. Oh arrange two new accounts
for Timothy Brown as Timothy McGarvy; and Callie Jane
Stanton as Callie Jane McGarvy and transfer the same
amount from my personal account. They are being adopted
tomorrow so they should get the year end cheque as well.
Will you look after those accounts alongside the others?"

"Of course Roy, I will be only too pleased. I will see you
tomorrow night." I hung up and started playing catch up
with my work, fortunately it mainly consisted of updating
myself on the activities of the estate. The urgent matters
usually were raised by Dick or Jerry face to face. I rang Gill.

"Hello love, how are you doing?"

"Racing around like a blue tailed fly."

"Well sit down for a minute, I have something to tell you."

"Sounds interesting Roy."

"Two things actually, the first is some of us are flying to
Dorset to finalise Tim and Callie's adoption. The judge has
been arranged, the paperwork done, we just need to be
there."

"That's great Roy. You said two things."

"Ah yes, the end of year profits have been posted, yours
share, along with your brothers and sisters are now in the
bank. Please don't tell the others though. Well aren't you
going to ask me how much then?"

"No."

"You spoil all my fun, well I'm going to tell you. It's
�60,000.00"

"You are joking aren't you?"

"No Gill, I am not joking."

"What do I do with that sort of money?"

"Well I suggest you tell Alex, then learn to drive and get
yourself a car.

"Oh wow," Alex come here," I heard Gill telling Alex about
the transfer. There was a stunned silence. Then Alex came to
the phone.

"Roy, what is all this about, either I have gone crazy or Gill
has gone crazy?"

"Neither of you have gone crazy. Back in the summer Gill
decided that she wanted to adopt the McGarvy family, her
cousins had been adopted and she felt she wanted to belong
as well, so she changed her name legally to McGarvy. At
that time I was setting up the family trust, I discussed it with
Natalie and my legal advisor and we decided that Gill should
be a part of the trust. She had wanted to be a part of the
family and so we made her a part. She knew nothing about
the trust at that time. The estate is divided into 1000 shares
of which 450 are divided among all my children, that is
natural and adopted plus two others, Becky and Gill. Becky
is my sister in law and will be my daughter in law. Gill
adopted us. My solicitor has written them specifically into
the trust deeds. The �60,000.00 is Gill's share of the
disbursed profits. I have spoken with my solicitor and
Callie's child will be included alongside my child to be and
all the other McGarvy children. Gill's share in the estate
capital is 3 million, three hundred and seventy five thousand
and some odd pounds. However that is very much a paper
figure, I could never raise that as cash. It is all tied up in the
companies."

"Roy I am glad I did not know about this when I asked Gill
to marry me."

"I know that, I had good reports on you from Dawn. Now sit
down and enjoy yourselves. I have got to go now." The
evening had worn on and I realised it would soon be time for
Kevin and Pam to arrive. I went into the lounge and woke
Natalie, Tim and Callie they went upstairs to freshen up. I
went into the kitchen and sliced the rolls and got the burgers
and salads out of the fridge. Rachel had prepared them all
this afternoon after dinner. I switched the coffee maker on
ready.

Ding dong. It was the front door bell. I went to open it and
as expected it was Kevin and Pam. I took them through to
the kitchen as we could talk whilst I cooked. Natalie came
down and took Pam into the lounge.

"Kevin, one of the reasons I invited you hear was I had
something to give you." I pulled out the envelope from my
pocket and gave it to him. I watched him open it and sag
back down onto the chair. His mouth fell open.

"Roy what is this?"

"I checked with the diocese, you are my employee in strictly
legal terms. You are self employed as far as tax goes but you
are not bound by the rules of the diocesan stipends. That is
between you and the trustees. I spoke with the other trustees
and they agreed that if I wished to include you as a staff
member for the purposes of Christmas bonuses, that was fine
with them. What you have in your hand is a notification of
your Christmas bonus. The accountant has got the money for
your deductions. It is the same as the rest of my staff
received. Natalie, bring Pam through." I took the sheet of
paper from Kevin's nerveless fingers. "This is his bonus
notification."

"Bonus?"

"Yes, according to the diocese Kevin is more employed by
me rather than the diocese, so he comes under the terms and
conditions of my staff. They received their Christmas bonus
so Kevin has received his Christmas bonus. It went into your
account on Friday. Whilst I had been talking I had been
cooking the burgers. Natalie called to everyone to come
down for supper. I was busy for 5 minutes serving the
burgers out. They took the relishes and salads they wanted
and went into the dining room.

"Kevin, or more properly Pam, I have a CD for you. If you
load it into your computer it will set up the connection to
farm net. You have an employee code and you can buy fruit,
vegetables, meat and dairy produce from the estate, that is
the farm and village stores, at cost price. You either have it
delivered or you go in and pick it up and remember once the
fish farm is onstream you will be able to buy fish as well."

"Oh Roy, I don't know what to say."

"How about; thank you, can you demonstrate how it works."
Pam looked at me, saw the grin on my face and started
laughing.

"You my friend are a terror." We laughed and joined the
children in the lounge. The wood fire was blazing and the
children were sitting around it with toasting forks, slices of
bread and the butter dish.

"Kevin, just think if the diocese had not sold this house off
you could have been sitting here."

"Yes with thermals and thick jumpers and still been cold.
This place used to be terrible to heat, I have read my
predecessors complaints about this house. Always cold in
summer and freezing in winter. No thank you Roy you are
welcome to this house, we will enjoy our modern house. In
the thirties the then rector had the dining room enlarged so
he could host his dinner parties for 35 guests."

"I had wondered why the dining room extended beyond the
study and the rest of the house." As the evening wore on the
children went up to bed. Leaving Natalie and I to talk to
Kevin and Pam.

"Did you get much comeback from you sermon this
morning."

"Yes, I had one person come round to see me, she was
fuming that I had made a hero out of a sex mad boy. Her
words not mine, I hasten to add. I told her very simply
exactly what you told me. I then asked her if she would have
been able to withstand a prolonged beating? She was silent
for a few minutes and then admitted she was a coward when
it came to pain. After a while it came out that she had been
abused as a child. I think she will be supportive to them
both. I had several other phonecalls from people who were
supportive but hadn't been able to talk with you this
morning. I think it was a useful exercise."

"I'm glad about that, Tim will have enough problems to deal
with, without being seen as a rapist. Natalie and I will be
adopting the child when it is born and bringing it up with our
child. That way Tim and Callie can grow normally and if
they want, look back on this time as something that
happened to someone else. Whereas if they keep the baby
they will be reminded every time it wakes, they will be able
to have the pleasures of parenthood without the trials."

"Can I suggest something Roy?"

"You can always suggest."

"Well, if when the baby is born and you adopt it, we
organise a service of thanksgiving for the adoption of a
baby. You are not making any promises you couldn't keep
and it will associate the baby with you more strongly in the
minds of the village. Then when your own baby is born you
have a service of thanksgiving for the birth of a baby." Then
the adoption of the baby will override memories of Callie
giving birth and less problems for them all in the future."

"I like it Kevin. It takes the emphasis away from Tim and
Callie. I will talk with them about it tomorrow." I made a
final drink for us. "Kevin, another question, where are the
carol singers finishing on Wednesday?"

"I knew there was something I hadn't done. They used to
finish at Home Farm."

"Bring them here to finish, how many of them will there
be?"

"About 20 children and 15 adults."

"That will be great, Sue was always wary about strangers so
we never invited the carol singers, which was very sad as
this was The Old Rectory. A fitting place for them to finish."

We made all the final arrangements and then waved
goodbye to Kevin and Pam.

"Come on love, time for bed." But that is another story.
