The Naughty Couple!

[Drownedinp]

School sent out a proposal for me and Candy, Candy was getting a raise, I was getting the shaft!

Candy was slated to make whole $750 more this year than last year.

I was slated to lose $350.

They were offering to put me in the office as a secretary for $200 more dollars than what I made last year.

But it would be full time.

As a crossing guard/ playground monitor I was about 6 hours a day 2 hours in the morning 2 hours at lunch.

2 hours in the afternoon this would be 8 hours in the office signing parents in and out.

It would be cooler in the summer months September, April, May. Warmer in all others November, December, January, February. October, March were perfect to be outdoors in Phoenix.

Mid 50's mornings, 70's and sometimes 80's, in the afternoon.

May sometimes high 90's already June starts the over 100- 110's until August just before September.

September and May are kinda twins. I would be in the Air Conditioning, or a Heated room.

I was already like a secretary as a court clerk, I can type and answer phones.

I could also interact with the kids getting sent to the principal's office, maybe scare them straight, when I was a Clerk I had these people that refused to listen to the judge or heed what he said.

After I got done with them it was no your honor and yes your honor! I know how to put the fear of the law into people!

A "Come to Jesus talk!" As I used to call it.

Maybe I can install the fear of the principal into kids?

Candy asked me what I thought about being a Secretary, kind  of like you were before as a Court Clerk.

"I know I can do it, I said, but I didn't  know there was an opening?"

"Remember Ms. B. retired?" 

Ms. B. was none other than Mrs. Butters.

She was like 4 foot 11 inches and weighed like 105 pounds an itty bitty lady with red hair still in her 60's it wasn't the bright copper color it had been once it was fading towards white.

Mrs. Butters knew where everything was if she didn't have it she could tell you where to get it.

If she didn't know she would find it for you.

She also knew where the bodies were buried so to speak, they had tried to get rid of her years ago but instead, it was discovered the principal trying to get rid of her had an affair with a high school girl, she was over 18 before the affair started but he was married and she was still a student.

Guess who left not Ms. B. That's for sure.

She was well like by the kids, most of the teachers and staff (except Administrators) loved her as well.

She was born here in America but her parents were Irish immigrants.

Growing up with them she had an Irish accent.

The most beautiful green eyes you had ever seen.

I had never dealt with her much, Candy loved the lady, she was going to miss her! 

I decided that I would take the office job and make more money. Candy and I could ride into work together, as long as we didn't ride in that damned minivan!

[CDfm]

Being a school secretary will make your hair turn white real fast. 

[Drownedinp]

Candy asked me to "Take her camping!" 

"Camping? I asked.

Why on earth would you want to go camping?"

"I don't know it's, its just I've never been.

I always wanted to go!

My dad wasn't much of an adventurer. 

He said "If God wanted  us to go camping all houses would be made of canvas!"

"At least that's one thing your dad and I agree on, that and we both love having sex with his daughter!"

"You are so evil!" Candy teased and playfully slapped my shoulder.

We went to Wallyworld an went to the camping area we got a tent, sleeping bags, camp stoves, lanterns, coolers, pots and pans, food, drinks.

We headed north and we got to Sedona area.

There was a campground it was really roughing it, there were showers, laundry mat.

Running water.

Trash cans.

We set our camp up and ate our dinner we went to bed early we turned on our lanterns and the bugs came, mosquitos, moths. That brought I think were bats that were eating the bugs. 

Inside our tent, Candy was in a mood, I've heard that it happens and it was happening to my wife.

She was in the outdoors and the altitude tend to make some woman hypersexual.

Candy was one of those woman.

If I had known she was hypersexual I would bring her camping every week!

I was enjoying her body.

We had sex any time I could go.

That night I diapered her and she diapered me and we slept together in each other's arms.

By morning it was already chilly.

We were both wet.

We got up and we went to shower it cost us  $2.75 each.

We met back up at the tent and we had another go at sex.

Candy and I went into Sedona and Flagstaff.

We spent lots of money in each town. When we got back to the tent Candy was ready to go again.

I wasn't getting this much sex at home.

Believe me I'm not complaining.

I was also planning our next camping trip.

[Crinkleybutt]

I'm so glad you're keeping up with this story! It's excellent.

[Drownedinp]

We spent about a week camping, if Candy wasn't pregnant already, she surely would have been afterwards! 

We got back into Phoenix, we had lots of messages on our answering machine one stood out her dad had been killed in prison, somehow word got out that he raped his daughters.

He was stabbed with a shiv! They had the guy who did it. That wasn't much comfort.

Candy had a little cry, she told me not all times were bad when she was with him.

Just the parts where he forced her to have sex with him. There were a few very good times.

They drove across country one summer from one end of I-10 to the other from Florida to Calfornia. That's how she come to love Arizona. Lucky for me anyway.

She could of loved Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, California but she fell in love with Arizona. 

We decided not to go to the funeral, we Candy, Cyndie and their mom, made arrangements for her father to be buried in the prison cemetery it was still behind the fence of the prison.

Even in death they felt he should remain there.

They paid for more than a paupers funeral he had a decent burial.

None of his family went.

Not even his ex wife the mother of his children and she lives in Alabama. 

We started getting ready to go back to school I bought a couple of pairs of pants and some dress shirts with ties and new shoes.

I was going to look good in the office.

Candy bought all kinds of school supplies.

The school board and schools no longer used books, they had print outs and everything was printed out and copied.

She bought three boxes of copy paper.

Pencils, markers, erasers anything her kids were going to need.

We were supposed to meet with the principal and other teachers some new some old.

They would be given their kids that they would be teaching this year.

Poor Candy got the worse kid in the school Christopher Bates.

This kid had a reputation as a bully and he didn't care if it was kids or teachers he bullied!

His parents were no help, as long as they kept him away from them, he bullied his own parents.

The kid was on the fast tract to a life in prison, everybody knew it.

The only reason he hadn't been expelled was because no child is to be left behind. 

I could just see Candy getting attacked by this kid.

Her being pregnant I'm sure he would beat the baby out of her!

I would kill him myself if he did.

I was just sure it was going to be a bad year for Candy. 

Meet the teacher was the Friday before the Monday school started. Kids were told where to go.

Most kid thought I looked funny in a shirt and tie.

They were use to seeing me in my orange vest as I escorted them across the street.

Not this year.

Christopher Bates came with his parents.

I got the the priveliges to tell them where my wife's classroom was, I half expected him to try and beat up Candy tonight, just to pronounce his authority over her.

They came back down and Christopher was smiling, "Yep!" He must of showed her who was boss.

I hadn't heard her call for help?

Was she injured, was she alright?

I got up and went to Candy's classroom, she was fine and meeting with another kid and his family.

I went back to my office area, I wondered what happened?

After we got home I had to ask Candy "What the hell happened with Christopher Bates?"

"I did some digging, did you know that Christopher is academically at the top of his class every year so far?"

"No I didn't know that!"

"Well he is I told him how smart he was and that I looked forward to teaching him this year! He started crying nobody had ever told him he was smart, just a trouble causer!

Well I just guess that's because nobody had held you to a higher standard, I want to challenge you to be the smartest student I have this year, can you do that for me?

He stopped crying and looked happy.

He wants to be challenged!

We as teachers have been paying attention to his bad behaviors we forgot that were not challenging him academically!

Plus we haven't praised him for the good he's done.

It might be our fault as teachers he is the way he is!"

[CDfm]

Got behind on the camping trip. I love camping but after all those years in the Marine Corps sleeping in the dirt , I want a bed. I have a little tent camper with beds. And to get rid of the bugs you need to have a good fire with lots of smoke.

[Drownedinp]

Christopher Bates thrived in Candy's class, there were still a few problems with him but never in class, most of the problems came when another kid tried to exert their domination over him.

Either on the way to school or at recess, lunch time or on the way home.

There were a few who tried in class, but he would remind them "This is a place to learn not to fight!"

He would remind them that "Maybe you needed to learn more by listening to the teacher, he would tell them You need this your about as dumb as a box of rocks already!"

If the kid continued bothering him he would say, "Meet me here at 3:15." It was always off campus and he would beat the kid to a pulp.

Thing would quiet down until another kid wanted to try him. 

Candy was Christopher's favorite teacher, years later we ran into Christopher.

He actually thanked her, "You never called me bad you told me I was smart.

You told me I was good!

You challenged me to be good!

I didn't want to disappoint you!"

Christopher became a Preacher, of all things, I expected him to be a Prisoner, boy was I wrong!

I was never so glad that I was wrong this time!

[Drownedinp]

Believe it or not the worse kid in Candy's class this year was a girl name Clairissa.

She was just defiant to everything, we didn't understand, this girl had been one of the sweetest girls just the year before, this year she had gone to the bitch side.

She spent more time in the Principal's office than the Principal did. 

I decided one day to have my "Come to Jesus Talk with her."

I went to sit on the bench outside the Principals office.

As I sat she moved as far away from me as she could, she gave me a look of pure terror.

Her eyes were wide open she looked like she was ready to scream. 

"Clairissa are you okay," I asked? 

"Leave me alone, don't hurt me!"

"Clairissa I'm not going to hurt you I promise!" 

"What do you want then?"

"I just want to talk to you, what's the matter, I just want to be your friend!

you look like you could use a friend right now!"

My come to Jesus talk wasn't going the way I wanted it to, it had backfired on me.

Clairissa came she buried her head in my shoulder and began to cry, not just cry but sob and wail.

She looked like the weight of the world was off her shoulders.

I went to rub her back and she said "Ouch, that hurts!"

I lifted her shirt up just a bit, my suspicions were right the girl had bad bruising on her back.

The Principal came and saw us I lifted her shirt up and he saw the bruising as well.

He nodded his head and went to his office.

He made a call.

7 minutes later we had police on scene as well as Fire/ Paramedics.

The Police officer got her info from another secretary as the Paramedics checked her out and she came to talk to Clarissa.

She clung go me and wasn't about ready to let me go.

The lady was a female cop.

I said "If I go with you will you go into the nurses office with me?"

She looked up at me with tears in her eyes she didn't say a word but nodded yes. 

In the Nurses Office the female officer began to undress Clairissa her back was covered in bruises as were her legs.

The worst part was every where clothes covered her she was bruised, where her clothes weren't she had no bruising.

Who ever did this knew what they were doing.

She held my hand and I was sure my fingers were gojng to fall off from lack of circulation.

The Officer asked "Clairissa can you tell me who hurt you?"

She looked at me and I nodded Yes. 

"My mommy." 

"Why did she hurt you," the Officer asked?

Clairissa looked at me and I saw her blush and she said why but she averted her eyes from me and whispered to the Police Officer "Because I wet my bed!"

The Officer nodded, "Is this something new or have you always had a problem and the cop whispered to Clairissa wetting your bed?"

"New, she said."

"How long have you been having a problem with wetting your bed," the Officer whispered? 

"Since Bobby and daddy moved in."

"Has your daddy ever hurt you, the Officer asked?"

"No."

"How about Bobby?" 

"Bobby and me, we play games, he plays with me."

"What kind of games, asked the Officer?" 

"I'm not supposed to say  Bobby told me not to or he wouldn't play with me anymore!"

"Is it play like chutes and ladders, tag or what, the Officer asked?"

"We play house and Bobby is my husband, like daddy is to mommy!"

"That sounds like fun said the Officer. What happens when you play the wife?"

"Bobby pulls my panties down and plays with me here!" She pointed at her groin area.

I knew for some reason this was where this was going to, I just knew it. 

"How old is Bobby asked the Cop?"

"He is old like 15!" 

No wonder I didn't know a Bobby that was with this girl, I used to walk her across the street every morning and night.

He was in high school already.

We had Kindergarten to 8th grade at this school the high school had 9th through 12th grades. 

"15 huh, said the Officer Wow he really is old." 

"Uh-huh he is my stop brother!"

"You mean Step Brother, the Officer asked?"

"Yeah that's the word!"

The cop looked at me and asked my name address telephone number, and wrote it down.

I knew right there I was a witness to a crime.

The cop asked "Clarissa can I take pictures of the bruises on you, I've  never seen anything like that." 

"Sure said Clairissa, as long as my friend Mr. Jenson can stay?"

"I think that should be okay as long as he doesn't peek at you being undressed," she gave Clairissa a wink!

I looked away and I heard the clicking from a camera.

I heard Clairissa say "Why do you have to pull my panties down?"

The grip on my hand intensified.

"I have to see if you have any bruising there."

"Okay, Clairissa said she still wasnt sure but her squeezing of my hand wasn't as tight." 

"We're all done here," said the Officer. 

We went back out and sat on the bench.

We had been sitting there when we heard a lady scream "But she is my child!"

Clarissa looked like a deer caught in the head lights.

She was in my lap and grabbed me around my neck she was almost choking me she was holding on so tight.

She looked at me and said "Don't let my mommy take me!" The child was so scared my lap got warm as she wet herself in fear. 

The female Officer had Clairissa's mom on the ground and in cuffs in seconds flat.

She began to read Clairissa's mom her Miranda rights as she was on the floor.

Clairissa had her head buried in my chest she wasn't about to remove it anytime soon!

At the High School Robert Browning Jr. Two cops walked into his classroom and arrested him right there.

The other kids had no clue as to why he was being arrested. 

A large man from CPS came he introduced himself as Benjamin English the guy was easily 6 foot 2 or 3. His body was large but his face was kind.

Clairissa refused to let me go, I tried to explain that she needed to go with this nan.

"No, I want to stay wif you!" 

"Why do you want to stay with me," I asked?

"Nobody will hurt me when I'm wif you!" 

She hadn't even looked at Mr. English yet her head was buried in my shoulder!

"Honey, sweety, I can't take you home with me," I said.

"Why not?" She asked. 

I didn't have an answer, I knew she wouldnt understand if I started telling her about the law and such things.

Mr. English said "Would you want to live with Mr. and Mrs. Jenson?"

Still not looking at him she said "Uh-huh!"

"Would you and your wife be willing to be foster parents for a while?" 

Foster parents I had never thought about that before, I moved Clairissa away and looked in her eyes would you want to live with me if we can arrange it?"

"Yes please" She said her crying eyes were pleading! 

Candy walked in and looked at me with a wet girl on my wet lap her head still buried in my shoulder.

"Candy, I asked how would you like to be a foster parent?" Her smile said yes.

They got a substitute to take Candy's class for the remainder of the day.

I crawled into the back seat of the minivan with Clairissa still on my lap.

Candy buckled us in.

Clairissa refused to leave my lap still.

We stopped at Wal-Mart on the way home, Clairissa only had the clothes that she was wearing and they were wet.

Candy bought her new undies and pants and a shirt and a dress a nightgown.

We arrived home first order was Clairissa and I both needed to shed our wet clothing.

Candy saw the bruising on Clairissa she almost started crying.

Clairissa refused still to let me go she had a death grip around my neck.

After all this girl had gone through she didn't mind being bathed by me as I was bathing myself.

I felt guilty as I was naked with her after getting her out and drying her off she was dressed by Candy still hanging on to me.

She was willing to remove one hand at a time so we could get her dry and a shirt on her. 

Mr. English arrived and we were shown what we had to do to get certified to be a fostor parent.

Since we worked with children already we had our prints on file.

State law required that if you worked with children in any capacity you must be fingerprinted and a background check ran on you. 

Three hours later we were her Fostor parents. 

At dinner Clairissa was willing to turn so I could feed her and myself. After dinner we turned the TV it was Thursday night I was hoping to watch the football game, drink a beer or two, but we got a channel that had cartoons.

"New cartoons. 

What the hell was wrong with Bugs Bunny and Roadrunner?"

Candy said "They were to violent for kids!"

I was a captive audience, Clairissa had me pinned down she hadn't moved from my lap. 

"Mr. Jenson, daddy," she didn't know what to call me?

"I gotta go potty.

I took her to the bathroom she got off my lap and sat on the toilet.

I went go so she could have her privacy she grabbed my hand and said "Don't leave me!"

So I stayed and when she was done she wiped herself.

She pulled her pants up washed her hands and we walked out of the bathroom together.

At least I wasn't carrying her this time.

She still wasnt ready to let me go!

Candy said as I returned "21 to 14 Denver."

The tv was back on the cartoons again.

She got to watch more football than I had.

No fair!

Around 8:30pm Clairissa began to yawn.

I tried to take her to the guest bedroom.

"Can I sleep wif you tonight?"

Her tired eyes were pleading with me!

"Okay just for tonight!"

She gave me a smile I took her to my bedroom and I told her I would only be a minute that I had to get her nightgown and I had to get ready for bed myself.

I changed her out if her clothes and put her nightgown on her.

I went and got a diaper on.

I threw my sweats on over that.

I crawled in bed with Clarissa.

She said "Daddy your butt looks poofy!"

She reached out and touched my butt finding my diaper.

"Daddy why are you wearing diapers?"

It was my turn blush, "Several years ago I had a surgery after that I started wetting my bed."

"Does mommy know about your diapers?" 

"You mean Candy, Mrs. Jenson?"

Thinking she might only know her by that.

"Yeah, you guys are my frosty parents.

Old mommy and daddy said for me to call parents mommy and daddy."

"We're your Foster parents not Frosty parents.

Yes, mommy knows about them.

When mommy was little her daddy played with her like your step brother Bobby played with you!"

She wears diapers to bed because like you she wets her bed too." 

"Can I get diapers because I wet my bed too," asked Clarissa?" 

"We will see," I said I expected that once she was out of that environment she might just stop wetting her bed.

Candy came in and Clairissa asked "You got your diapers on mommy?"

Candy looked at me wondering why I told this girl that she wears diapers. 

"She saw me in mine I said, she wanted to know if you knew I wore diapers to bed?

I told her yes that you wore them as well." 

"Sorry mommy your daddy used to play with you like Bobby played with me!

I started wetting my bed to. Can I get diapers so I dont pee your bed?"

"You never told me that was a problem with her, Candy said, I would of picked her up some from Wal-Mart when I was there."

"That's why the bruising, her mom beat her because she wet her bed." 

"Understood!" Said Candy.

It was 8:52pm and we were already in bed.

It was going to be a long night.

 

 

[Drownedinp]

Next morning our alarm clock went off at 0600 hours I was checking out Clairissa she was wet.

She awoke realizing she was wet began to cry.

"Don't be mad at me!"

She was shivering in fear.

Once again I had a wet girl in my lap and she had a death grip around my neck.

I got her so we had eye contact. 

"Clairissa were not mad because you wet the bed!"

"You aren't," she asked still not sure or not.

"Can I tell you a story?" 

"Yeah I guess," Clairissa said.

"Before I met Candy I was married before my wife got really sick and died.

We had a daughter Mellisa.

Mellisa is Candy's age but growing up Melissa wet her bed like her mother the woman who died.

I never ever said anything negative or punished Melissa for her bedwetting she was wetting her bed until she was 12, what makes you think im going to start now?

Besides I'm wet this morning as well and I know Mommy is to aren't you Candy?"

"Yes I am." 

"So you won't be mad because I wet my bed then, because you wet yours," Clairissa asked?

"That's the truth, I said, we know you don't mean to wet the bed, we know you do it in your sleep, just like us!" 

Clairissa began to cry but it wasn't a scared cry it was tears of relief. 

Candy said, "You know I don't feel like going into work today how about we play hooky from school.

Besides we need to get you some more clothes and some diapers so you don't have to sleep in a wet bed, how does that sound?"

Clairissa smiled at Candy. 

Candy held her hand out "How about I give you a bath today?" 

Clairissa timidly took her hand she looked at me wanting to know if it was alright, I nodded yes and she went with Candy.

I stripped our bed of the wet sheets.

As I was loading the washer and as I was awaiting her nightgown and panties to be washed, I reflected how the past 16 hours had changed our life.

We got a fostor daughter, I don't care who she had gone with but she needed to get away from the environment she was in.

The bruising her mom was careful not to leave marks where they could be seen, that showed me she knew what she was doing.

My dad blistered my butt one day when I was little I had angered him he whipped me with a belt I had welts on my back, butt and legs.

It was summer and I wore shorts.

You could see the strap marks on my legs.

He hit me where he could get me.

Clairissa had bruising, it wasn't a belt but fists that had been used on her and it was calculated to not leave marks where anybody could see them. 

Clairissa and Candy came and put her nightgown and panties in the washer.

"Daddy, mommy said you would take us out to McDonald's for lunch, can I have chicken nuggets?"

"You can have anything you want princess!"

That got me hug around my neck.

It felt like it had when she didn't want to let go before but this time it was a just a bear hug.

I thought about giving her one of my patented bear hugs back.

With the pain and bruising, I figured I had better wait a while still.

We were out shopping, we had got her more undies, shirts and pants, socks and shoes.

We had stopped by where Candy and I get our diapers Terry Waites assisted us in finding the best youth diapers that they carried in her size.

While he was measuring her he saw the bruising on her back I seen him wince even.

When Candy and Clairissa were out of ear shot, he asked "A parent?"

"Mom!" Was all I said.

He shook his head in disbelief. 

We were at McDonald's when my phone rang.

It was a private number.

I reluctantly answered it "Hello" I said? 

"Mr. Jenson, this is Mr. English.

I tried you at the school but they said your wife and you called out today with Clairissa.

Is everything alright?"

"Perfectly, I said Clairissa only had the clothes she had on her back, we went out shopping for more clothes today, and other things."

I told him she wet herself when her mom showed up yesterday.

"What other things he asked?"

"She needs nighttime underwear." 

"I understand he said!

The reason I called is because we need her to be seen by our Medical Doctor, Psych Doctor.

You know a complete physical head to toe.

Can you bring her by this afternoon?"

"Yeah we can be there shortly were just grabbing some lunch and then we will be there,"

"Splendid, he said, I look forward to your coming!"

After lunch we took Clairissa to the CPS office.

Clairissa was seen by the doctors she held my hand.

As the Psych was asking her questions, particularly about what Bobby had done to her she would squeeze my hand he had actually penetrated her once.

We made it through the Psych.

The medical Doctor was thorough and also photographed her bruising like the cop had the other day.

He also noted that the bruising stopped where her clothing stopped.

They wanted a urine sample, a blood sample, and pricked her finger for a diabetes check.

The urine sample was not a problem.

The finger prick and the blood sample were like pulling teeth.

I said if I let them do it to me first to show you it isn't bad will you do it.

She nodded yes.

First they pricked my finger and they did a test strip on me my blood was good then they drew a vile of blood from me.

They put a bandaid with a  cotton ball in the crook of my arm.

Where they drew her blood.

I felt her flinch when they poked her arm that was done.

Then they pricked her finger.

She flinched a little, she gave me a smile and said, "That didn't hurt!" The blood test was a little high.

They had her stay there another half an hour and pricked her finger again she didn't even flinch this time.

It was better this time. 

Mr. English, took me aside. I can tell that girl sees you as her daddy already.

We're trying to get the judge to sever the ties from her family, permanently removing her from the home.

Are you two interested in adoption?"

"I am, I said, I don't know but I think Candy will be open to it as well."

"Splendid, I will let you know what happens!"

[Drownedinp]

We got Clairissa home.

She was tired and I got her diapered and we put her to bed in the other bedroom, she was more open to it this afternoon.

I talked with Candy for a few moments while Clairissa was asleep.

I told her what Mr. English had said about adoption. 

She smiled at me, "I know you are, your the first time in a while that girl has had a real daddy!

I have to admit she has stole my heart as well." 

"If we don't adopt her somebody else will, who knows what kind of family she could end up with.

It could be one just as bad as the one she had came from."

Candy thought for a little bit, "I agree with you, but what happens when I have our baby.

If it's a girl you and our son will be out numbered 4 to 2 in favor of the females."

"Or we could have a son and it would be 3 to 3 like like it is now 2 and 3 If not I'm sure Mr. England has a boy or two that needs a loving home.

We could adopt a boy.

You know my favorite football player for the Raiders is Chris Mitchell him and his wife have 4 kids on their own and 4 adopted kids, his family have all adopted kids last told his parents and his brothers and sisters have like 14 adopted kids, he has an adopted sister as well.

They have been able to keep siblings together by adopting them.

Most of their kids they have adopted are kids that have been abused like Clairissa.

His parents have 2 girls that saw their dad kill their mom.

Maybe we can take a page from them and adopt a few kids.

You and I both know there are several kids out there that are like Clairissa. That's just at our school!"

"True, said Candy but we can't save the world can We?" 

I said, "Maybe not the world, maybe just our little corner of it?"

We heard Clairissa come back in she looked happy.

"What's up I asked?" 

"Daddy I peed in my sleep and my bed isnt wet!"

"Good for you," I said.

She came and gave Candy and I a hug. 

"Clairissa, Candy asked.

Since to your mom hurt you so bad, would you like to become our daughter for real?" 

"You mean not live with my mommy and daddy?" She couldn't understand how.

"We are talking about adopting you making you a part of our family," I said.

"I already thought I was your fros... foster girl already?"

"Oh you are but this would mean your our daughter for real, you would become Clairissa Jenson.

You wouldn't have to worry about your mom hurting you or Bobby hurting you ever again!" I said. 

"I don't want to be hurt again, I love you guys, I don't know.

I love my mommy to, I just don't want her to hurt me anymore." 

"Since she hurt you so bad this time.

She might not be able to be your mommy anymore, she is in trouble for hurting you this time.

She is going to probably go to jail for it.

What she did to you is against the law," I said. 

"Mommy might go to jail?

Why?"

"What she did was what they call an assault!

She hit you with her fists, she hurt you.

Mommys and Daddy's aren't supposed hurt their kids like your mommy did you.

If they do they get arrested. Remember the cop that talked to you yesterday?" 

"Yeah."

"Well when your mom came in yelling and screaming, and you were so scared you wet yourself, you wouldn't even look at her?"

"Yeah." 

"The cop arrested your mommy, then for hurting you! Your mommy us in jail right now."

"Mommy is in jail? What about Bobby he hurt me to!"

"He is there as well.

You see we have laws that we have to live by, if we break those laws and are caught we have to pay a penalty either we are fined and it cost us money, or we have to have a time out in jail."

"How long will Mommy and Bobby be in jail for?" 

"That depends, since Bobby is a kid still he will have to go to a prison for kids.

Usually that's about a year, year and a half.

Mommy might be in jail for six months to a year, something like that. Since she hurt you they may think she will hurt you again so they might not let you move back with her. Do you understand that?"

They are afraid she might hurt me again, her hurting me this time wasn't the first time she hurt me.

I broke her grandma's vase she gave her and mommy hurt me then to.

It hurt worse this time.

I don't want my mommy to hurt me anymore.

Can I stay with you guys, you be my mommy and daddy?"

 

[Drownedinp]

The weekend we had Clairissa help us with our two other kids.

We asked her what she wanted to do.

She said "I don't know nobody ever asked me before." 

I asked her "Is there anything you ever wanted that you never got?"

She looked down "I wanted an fish aquamarine once, I asked my mommy for one once and she told me No!

It was after I broke the vase that her grandmother gave her."

"You mean an aquarium," I asked?

"Yeah." 

"What kind of fish do you want in it," Candy asked?

"I saw some real pretty ones at Petsmart once.

They were blue."

"You know I've been thinking about getting an Aquarium myself," I said. 

"Me to," said Candy!

We went to Petsmart. We got about a 35 gallon tank and about 30 fish. The fish she wanted were called Blue Goramis.

We got her a couple.

We also looked at birds and reptiles, Clairissa wanted a snake, a Ball Python!

Candy told her "Over my dead body!"

I was disapointed as well that we didnt get it!

We got home and set up the tank.

We had it in the living room and Clairissa sat in front of it and watched the fish swim around for hours.

She named her two fish Mommy and daddy Jenson.

Sunday we went to church the church that the two missionaries represented in England.

Clairissa had never been to church before, ever.

She enjoyed herself they had a program called Primary there were other kids her age and one girl from her class Beverly Thomas.

They were friends at school.

 

Beverly was glad to see her the rumor was Clairissa had been arrested.

"The cops came to school and they took you away in the cop car!"

"No they took somebody else," said Clairissa. 

"Who," asked Beverly? 

"My mommy she hit me," Clairissa lifted her dress enough the Beverly saw the bruising.

"Why," asked Beverly?

"I broke her vase that her grandmother gave her!"

Clarissa had been told by her mom that most kids her age don't still pee their beds like she did, she would never tell a friend that she still does.

"Sorry to hear that really.  

Where you living at now?"

"Mr. and Mrs. Jenson are going to adopt me."

"You mean our teacher and that old guy in the office?" 

"Yeah, but he is really nice. He is going to be my daddy." 

"Isn't there a law that says old guys like him can't take in kids like you.

Don't you know he is almost dead?

"He looks pretty good to me, yeah I know he is old but I don't think he will die soon."

"My daddy is the Bishop here I will find out if it's against the law for him to adopt you!"

[Drownedinp]

Clairissa asked me about "If it was illegal for me to adopt her because I was so old!" She looked kind of scared.

"No there is no such law, if there was that would mean I was being discriminated against for my age, that would be illegal."

Clairissa looked relieved.

We went to a Chinese buffet place for lunch on Sundays they offered Crab Legs with their menu.

Still my favorite was the Coconut Shrimp, I couldn't get enough of it.

Clairissa found she liked it as well.

We went home and I turned the football game on The Cardinals were playing the Raiders.

I didn't know Who to root for.

Growing up in Arizoha they never got a team her until the 1980's when The Cardinals came to town.

Growing up I liked the Raiders, then we got the Cardinals hometown team, and sorry to say but my Raiders sucked the past couple of years I was always conflicted when they played old favorite versus the hometown team.

That day was today. 

As I am watching Clairissa came and started watching with me.

I don't really think she is interested in football, it was just I was.

When either team did something good say sack the QB I tend to be LOUD!

"Yeah!"

As somebody made a touchdown!

Clairissa was watching me not the game.

The next time Patrick Peterson intercepted a pass I got loud again.

"YEAH!"

She was mimicking me, I'm sure she had no clue as to what was going on.

She sat in my lap I began to teach the basics of football the offense, the defense,  the basic rules.

Somebody rughed up the QB verily touching him.

Growing up football was football they have turned it into a woman's sport you can't do this to the QB you can't do that.

I understand why but, give me a QB like Kenny Stabler.

Those guys that knew how to take a hit not these new QB's.

That cry if the feel the wind of a defensive player going by. 

My soap box, sorry!

We spent the afternoon and evening watching football.

I showed her the logos of the different teams she was drawn to the animals like most kids, like the Atlanta Falcons, Seattle Seahawks, Carolina Panthers, even the Dolphins. 

Candy was surprised that she was hooked on football like I was.

I had a new football buddy to watch football with.

No more of those Crappy Cartoons that are Educational and Informative! Not while there was a game on.

[Drownedinp]

Monday was school again, since Clarissa was our Foster daughter she was removed from Candy's class.

It was deemed unethical for Candy to remain her teacher.

We understood, the one that had the hardest time handling it was Clairissa herself.

She didn't want to leave.

We had to almost drag her kicking and screaming.

For her I'm sure it was a bit of an abandonment issue.

Another the friends she had made in the class this year.

She was swapped out for another girl.

From Mrs. Roper's class.

Since Clarissa was seen as a problem child, that's what candy got was her problem child.

I'm totally sure that since Clairissa is out of her abusive environment, Mrs. Roper will have no problems with her.

She Genesis Peterson knew she was moved for her behaviors, she has vowed to herself to make what she did in Mrs. Roper's class look like a cakewalk. 

The first day Genesis refused to do anything, Candy did what we call planned ignoring.

You basically ignore what she is doing bad or defiant and praise her for what she does right.

Genesis raised her hand, and Candy asked, "Yes Genesis?"

"Can I go to the toilet?" 

"Yes you may, and thank you for raising your hand!"

Genesis looked at Candy, why would she do that to me, thank me for raising my hand?

Genesis did have to go to the bathroom truth be told.

She had a weak bladder.

The tough girl persona was because she was really scared to death, she was a bedwetter.

If the other kids found out they would tease her to no end.

Her mom was the worse she was called names, beaten with a belt, fists anything her mother had handy, had her face rubbed in her pee puddle on her sheets.

Mom even refused to change them and they were a golden yellow, sick brown.

If anybody came by her house they no doubt smelled the stale pee and if they looked in her room saw her multiple wetting on her sheets.

Her mom always threatened that she was going to tell all her little friends that she was still a bedwetter!

That scared her the most!

When she thought that was when she needed to pee, it scared her that bad.

She didn't know if she could live through that.

If her mom ever did actually ever do that, she had some meds her mom took called barbiturates.

She was going to take them it was about 20 pills.

Her mom thought she had misplaced them.

Genesis took them.

Genesis hid them in her panty drawer.

Her mom never went there.

Genesis washed her own panties in the tub while she washed herself every morning, she didn't know how to use the washing machine otherwise she would of washed her sheets as well.

She hung her panties up to dry and put them in her drawer herself after they were dry. 

Genesis knew she was alone in the bathroom and she began to cry sitting on the toilet.

Why did her mom have yo be so mean?

Why couldn't she be nice like Mrs. Jenson she had a reputation as a nice teacher.

She had hoped she had gotten her at the first of the year but she was put in Mrs. Roper's class.

Mrs. Roper was nice but not near as nice as Mrs. Jenson.

Now I have Mrs. Jenson and I'm being bad. I hope she doesn't hate me! 

She wiped herself and her eyes.

She pulled up her panties and looked at the mirror.

Her eyes were a  bit red but not bad.

She put the scowl back on her face and called the girl looking back at her a "filthy bedwetting whore!" 

She returned to Mrs. Jenson's class she thought about ditching but if she got caught, her mom would come and tell everybody that she was a filthy bedwetting whore.

She didn't want her mom here ever!

At lunch Mrs. Jenson came and sat by her.

"Can I sit here by you?"

"It's a free country!

She heard her mom say that to somebody one time.

"I'm so glad you came to my class.

I like having fun in my class, do you like having fun?"

"As much as the next guy I suppose!"

Also something her mother had said. 

"Well I do look forward to teaching you the rest of the year!" 

Lady, no you don't, I'm a brat, just ask my mom. Genesis thought.

"Okay," Genesis said.

The rest of the day Genesis felt guilty.

She had wanted Mrs. Jenson and now she had her, she was being a brat, just like her mother said she was.

The problem was she didnt really want to be a brat for Mrs. Jenson. 

At the end of class, homework was given out a packet of math, English, spelling for the week.

Genesis forgot hers.

Candy thought is she doing this to piss me off or did she actually forget It?

Either way I need to drop it off at her house.

She went and had me find Genesis address and we went there. 

Clairissa and I stayed in the car.

Candy knocked on the door.

The lady said come in.

Candy entered and was hit with the aroma of stale pee.

She kind of put her fingers up to her nose to block the stench.

"Sorry that's  from my worthless bedwetting daughter!

Who the hell are you?

What the hell you want?"

"I'm Genesis's teacher and I brought Genesis her home work, she forgot it." 

"GENESIS! Get you everloving bedwetting ass out here!

Genesis came out from her room she was almost wetting herself, she knew when mom yelled like that she was in trouble.

"Yes mommy what do you want?" 

"Did your teacher here give you an assignment and you didn't bother to bring it home?"

"Sorry mommy I forgot!" 

"Your teacher had to bring it here for you because you the little pissant forgot it!" 

She reached out and slapped Genesis across the face.

Her cheek was red. 

"Sorry mommy!"

"Sorry, your sorry, I'm sorry I ever gave birth to a little bedwetting whore like you.

Your nothing but a little baby!"

She slapped her again and her face was redder now. 

"That's quite enough said Candy!

Just because your daughter has a problem when she sleeps is no reason to slap her around like that!"

The lady looked at Candy.

After I get done beating the shit out of her, you will be next.

I've put up with little bitch pissing her bed for over 8 years.

She punched Genesis in the nose causing it and her mouth to bleed.

Candy had, had enough.

She didn't know what she was doing she was on that lady just punching her in the face and the lady was screaming for help!

Telling Candy to "Get the fuck off of me!"

Genesis saw Mr. Jenson in the car waiting for Candy to come out.

She had wet herself when her mom had punched her.

She ran out side, "Help, Mrs. Jenson is killing my mom!"

I didn't think that was possible until I saw for myself she was sitting on top of the lady who was about twice her size.

She was pummeling the lady in her face.

She was incoherently yelling "you molested me the last time you son of a bitch!"

I kind of knew that Candy was getting revenge on this lady for what her dad had done to her for many years.

I had a hard time pulling her off I managed but she was wanting to fight me as well.

The lady got up and her face was bloody and she cocked her arm back and punched Genesis in the stomach I heard an "oof" from Genesis as the wind was knocked out of her.

"You caused this, you little fucking bedwetter, she screamed!"

I didn't have a very good hold of Candy and, bang she was back beating the lady in the face again.

"You leave that poor little girl alone you bitch!"

I had to pull Candy off again the lady was on the floor bleeding in the fetal position.

As I was dragging her away she began kicking at the lady as her feet reached further.

She kicked the lady in the stomach and I herd her say "oof as the wind was knocked out of her!"

"I'm not leaving without Genesis.

Candy said to me.

I picked her up and we left.

Everything that I had learned from working the courts.

I knew we were breaking several laws.

I went back after I got them into the car.

The lady wasn't chancing moving she was still on the floor in the fetal position.

I asked "Are you alright?" 

"Take the little bedwetting bitch and get the fuck out!" 

I did as I was told.

When I got to the car I had three woman bawling, Genisis was because she was injured her nose hadn't stopped bleeding I was sure it was broken just from the look of it.

Candy was bawling because she was now shocked that she had never beat another human being to a pulp and the adrenalin was dropping back to normal.

Clairissa was because, well I guess she was feeling the emotion.

I knew we needed to go to the hospital for Genesis's nose and lip.

I also called Mr. English and had him meet us there we all gave them the story of what happened to Genesis.

Including Genesis which told him this wasn't the first time she had been beat like this.

We got her out of her wet clothes and into a dry hospital gown. Clairissa sat in my lap and brought Genesis and they were both on my lap one on my right leg and one on my left.

X-rays confirmed that Genesis nose was busted, her lip took 1 stitch.

I guess Candy told Mr. English that we were taking her home with us.

When I asked her, "Why?

She said "What happened to Genesis was my fault!"

From the look in her eyes I knew that there was to be no negotiations!

We got home and we got two girls bathed.

Clairissa handed Genesis off to me she knew she needed a daddy now.

I was handed a diaper and told to put it on Genesis by Candy.

She looked disgusted with herself!

"This is what caused it all!"

I had smelled the stale pee but getting Candy out of the house before she beat that lady to death was my main focus.

Genesis was a bedwetter as well. I guess we were a perfect family for a bedwetter to come to.

Mr. English warned me if I ever see Mrs. Peterson again go dial 911 and get the police. 

Next day at school the lady showed up at the school and was complaining about a teacher.

"Look at what she did to me she was screaming!"

I had already called 911 and Mr. English they were both on her way. The police arrived first they asked her questions.

They were listening to this lady who was giving her rendition of the story where Candy barged into her house and just began pummeling her in the face, and basically kidnapped her loving daughter!

They were in the process of finding out who Genesis's  teacher was.

When Mr. English arrived he flipped out his wallet and showed them his credentials he spoke to the Police for about 20 seconds. 

I sat there smiling.

The next thing the lady knew the cops were putting cuffs on her.

"What the fuck?" She screamed.

We're arresting you for child abuse.

You hit your daughter in the nose breaking it and cutting her lip. You also punched her in the stomach.

"It wasnt me it must of been that crazy bitch!"

"Mr. Jenson did you see her punch Genesis.

"Yes sir I did Mr. English I said I saw her punch her in the stomach, I did not see her punch her in the face, I wasnt there for that"

The lady went pale she just recognized I was the one who pulled the crazy bitch off her after she had punched her kid.

"Good enough for me said one of the cops and she was drug off to jail.

The other cop had Genisis brought down and they photographed her nose which was out of place and took a picture of her lip with the stitch on it.

Clairissa was the one with her holding her hand.

I was proud of her it had been me just a few short days ago holding her hand? Giving her the courage!

Now it had been her turn.

[Drownedinp]

Genesis was moved to Mrs. Belcher's class as once again since Candy couldn't be a teacher and her Foster mom.

I told her that if she feels overwhelmed and needs to talk I'm in the office.

You can talk to  me if you need to.

She smiled at me.

Thanks dad she said.

She went to Mrs. Belcher's class.

Clairissa went to Mrs. Roper's class.

Mrs. Roper was very surprised at how well behaved Clairissa was.

Mrs. Belcher was surprised at how well Genesis was behaved they both thought that both girls were problem students.

They asked Candy what had happened.

She told them "Both had been removed from their family's and were now living with my husband and I and hey are are no longer in the homes that were causing their behaviors.

Both were being abused by family members."

"That will do it," said Mrs. Belcher. "

Frankly I think somebody did an exorcism it's like night and day.

I wouldnt even mind having Genesis back with Claiissa," said Mrs. Roper!

[Drownedinp]

Both parents pled not guilty in their preliminary hearing.

Bobby did plead guilty and he was sent to Adobe, his lawyer told him basically if you plead not guilty and they find you guilty, they could charge you as an adult, your at that age.

Instead of a year you could be behind bars until your 21st birthday. 6 years. Instead of two at the most.

Maybe less, as an adult you will be registered as a sexual offender, as  a juvenile there is a chance it won't happen.

But there is a big difference between being registered as a juvenile and being registered as an adult.

You can call it being a dumb kid!

As an adult your basically screwed.

You will never be able to work around kids either way.

No teaching degrees for you.

Both mother's were found to be unfit mother's.

Clairissa and Genesis were removed from the home permanently.

They lived with us and we wanted to adopt them but they had family that prevented us from being nothing more than foster parents.

The two girls were hurt, they wanted Candy and I to be their parents.

They were glad to still be living with us though.

The family's really didn't want them because they were bedwetters, they were also kind of upset that their family member had been arrested.

They just felt that they needed to keep them as family instead of letting them go completely.

Mr. English helped he sent them bills for continued care.

Since they had family that could care for them.

That did it they severed ties as fast as they could.

The kids become wards of the state.

Candy and l were proud to adopt Clarissa and Genesis.

We got lucky as boys as Candy gave birth to a son. We were still out numbered by 1 but it was better than 5 to 2.

4 to three were better odds.

I was right soon after Clairissa was in our home her wet beds began to be less frequent until they were non existent.

Genesis on the other hand continued to wet her bed.

As well as Jazmine our other daughter, she took after her Aunt Cynde.

 

[CDfm]

Girls were lucky they found a good home so fast. These guys might put the Mitchell’s to shame the way they are adopting. 

[Drownedinp]

At school Clairissa and Genesis were the top of their classes, we helped them finish their homework, one thing we wouldn't do was give them the answer.

We explained all about spelling, you know I before E except after C. Mathematics rules.

I was talking history as the things that they were learning was stuff I had lived through.

Same with Candy.

One of the chapters was on the 911 attacks when Candy and I was talking about the attacks and Clairissa asked us when it happened September 11, and when Candy said the "2001."

Clairissa said "Your Really Old!"

Candy felt bad, that was the first time she had been called old.

I was used to it I've been called old for years.

It barely phased me anymore I believe this was probably the first time for Candy to be the old.

She took it to heart, she was depressed she stayed in bed and refused to get up.

I don't remember taking it so bad the first time, of course I'm not a woman and when an 8 year old calls you that.

Consider the source to an 8 year old 10 years is a long time.

I remember a time when I thought that 21 was ancient.

What I wouldn't give to be 21 again, in a few more years I would be 3 times 21 or 63.

I'm closer to that than I am 42 years old.

I explained to Candy and she thought for a while I was right to Clairissa 10 years old was older than she was.

10 years ago she was 19 years old, she had just finished high scool and was a Freshman in college.

She just moved away from home where she wasnt getting sexually abused by her father anymore.

When Clairissa was born she was a Junior in college.

Her and my daughter Melissa were roommates at ASU.

I and my wife Brenda had met her.

Melissa had brought her home for a weekend every so often.

Of course in those days other than she was cute she was not on the menu.

I was happily married to Brenda.

I thought to myself in those days she will make a great wife for some guy.

Little did I know that it would be me.

[CDfm]

It’s hunny but that very conversation took place last night with a couple of co-workers and myself. One mentioned how a friend of hers is marketing some new anti aging cream. My comment was that it was already to late for me. I will be 60 this year. 

[Drownedinp]

We were a very happy family, we were putting in papers for adoption, they were still severing family rights on Clairissa and Genesis.

It was just a matter of days until that happened.

Clairissa's Stepbrother Bobby was at Adobe.

He had tried to send a few letters to Clairissa.

But her being a victim, he wasn't allowed to.

From what we understood the letters were trying to tell her not to tell others what happened.

They usually ended creepy, him claiming his love for her like she was his girlfriend or something.

Let alone him being 8 years older than her. It was spooky to say the least.

Clairissa would be only 10 years old when he gets released in a couple of years.

He would be 17 almost 18, we had been told by those that are in charge of him now that if he does he can be charged as an adult, it's like stalking her.

We named our new son Caleb, he was very lucky that he had a grandmother like Candy's mother, she was spoiling her grandkids crazy!

Clairissa and Genesis loved her and grandmother Louise had more money than what she knew what to do with.

Our 5, Clairissa, Genesis, our oldest son Russell, our oldest daughter Jazmine and Caleb were thankful for their grandmother that bought them everything and anything they wanted.

It was bad kind of.

Everything that they wanted for Christmas and birthdays, things we were planning on getting them. Arrived at least two months before their birthday or Christmas.

So we had to change tactics.

Genesis got two bikes completely the same for her birthday one from us and one from Grandma!

Clairissa got the other, since Genesis couldnt ride them both.

We started coordinating things after that.

Grandma and mom and dad, didnt make that mistake again. 

School was good and we were no longer having to worry about Clairissa and Genesis they were in the next grade and were both in Mr. Hanson's class.

Mr. Hanson was the the most handsome, people slipped and called him Mr. Handsome instead of Mr. Hanson.

Our two girls were at odds, both had a crush on Mr. Hanson.

Both wanted him but both didn't understand that Mrs. Hanson already had him!

A girl can dream I guess!

[CDfm]

Seems like it’s about time things settled down and they moved on with a more normal life. 

[Drownedinp]

We were able to adopt Genesis first.

She made quite an impression on the judge.

Most kids just answer his questions yes or no.

Genesis When asked "Why?"

She said that we were saving her life in our adoption. 

"How so," the Judge asked. 

"Sir, I might only be 8 years old, but I do believe my mother would of beat me to death one day!"

The Judge looked at her and asked, "Is this something that your adoptive parents have told you?"

"No sir, I lived in fear of my mother.

I had to be invisible to her.

I was afraid to even make noise.

I don't have to be that way with the Jensen's they love me for who I am not who they want me to be!

With my mommy I had to be who she wanted me to be.

She got angry because I couldn't live up to that.

I didn't have the.... ability to do so."

"What caused you not to have the ability?" Asked the Judge?

Genesis blushed, "Because your honor I am a bedwetter, my mommy hated that fact, it made her mad when I did but I couldn't help it! 

The Judge shook his head in the affermitive.

"Understood, just so you know, when I was your age I was the same, I wet my bed as well.

My parents at least understood the problem, I was so glad that I did not have to go through what you did.

I understand that your family that is petitioning the courts today understand about your problem?"

"My daddy has a daughter that used to be like us, she is old now but daddy still loves her!

He told me, I was perfect even if I do, he knows I can't help it."

"What about your new mommy, how does she feel," asked the Judge?

"Mommy grew up with a sister that wet like us, she loves Aunt Cyndie!

Mommy was the one who fought my mommy when she hurt me!"

"I'm glad, said the Judge, Enuresis can cause stress on a family, I know that almost better than anyone, I had a great mother that understood it wasnt my fault.

I had a good friend growing up she wasn't as lucky as I was her mother scalded her with hot water because she was like us, Genesis.

I'm so glad your doing better in this home, from the reports from CPS it's a 180° turn from where you was just a few short months ago!

I'm going to grant the petition, we will meet here a year from today to finalize the adoption!

Next case!"

[Drownedinp]

A week later they were back in court for Clarissa's adoption.

A female judge this time.

She was more a stickler for protocol than the laid back judge.

Probably because she was a newer judge.

She read the case history and and the fact that Clarissa was doing so much better now that she wasn't getting raped by her step brother and beaten by her biological mother for bedwetting, since moving in with her foster family that were also adopting her her.

Her bedwetting had almost cleared up.

The judge did have one or two concerns one was with our age difference, okay the fact that I was 30 some odd years my wife's senior.

Candy took that one and without going into too much detail assured the judge that we did actually love each other despite our age difference.

The second was that since I was older I would be in my 70's when Claririssa graduated high school.

I assured her that the males in my families lived into their 90's usually my grandfather was 92 currently and was just a gigilo at his retirement community keeping the ladies satisfied there.

That got me a flash of a smile from the judge, the first I had seen.

How about the ladies in your family?

Grandma died 7 years ago of a heart attack during sex with grandpa!

Another smile from the judge. She also asked about our kids we had three together.

I also  have a daughter that was my wife's roommate in college with my first wife.

She asked what had happened to her?

Cancer almost 4 years ago.

The judge joked, at least it wasn't a heart attack during sex!

Sorry she did say.

She asked Clairissa what she thought about us.

She told the judge about our first day how she got her courage from me that day.

Telling the cops about why I had bruises and things.

It was only because I was there and he helped me through it.

"I even wet on him and he didn't get mad at me or nuttin!

He held me when I needed holding.

I loved him like a daddy that day and now he wants to be my real daddy!

To me he already is!"

"Very well put!"

Said the judge we will meet back here one year from today other than it will be a day shorter as one year from today is a Saturday.

The Friday before one day from today a year from yesterday!"

We took our two girls who than in less than a year would be ours, even though it was early we didn't go back to school we took them out to lunch.

While eating lunch at Red Lobster who else showed up but the judge we had just seen. 

"Shouldn't you be taking Clarissa back to school, and this other girl as well?

Who is this other girl anyway?"

Clairissa said this is my other adopted sister Genesis!" 

"You have more than one adoption already?" The judge asked?

"Genesis said ""Really I was just adopted a week ago by Judge Saunders!" 

"Judge Saunders, huh, he is a good friend of mine.

We both handle family court like this.

Adoptions, Family  Revocation Hearings.

Did you both just get where you were taken away from your families?" 

"Yeah about 2 or 3 months ago said Genesis.

"Why were you taken from your family asked the Judge?" 

"It was just me and my mommy! She got mad because I forgot to bring my homework home."

"Your case wasn't the one where the teacher fought for you was it? The bedwetting case?"

"Yeah, that was me, said Candy I was her teacher!" 

"No kidding, I saw photos your better off without your mom.

Just to let you know when I was your age I wet the bed like you, she lifted up her shirt.

My mother poured scalding hot water on my back.

She had burn scars there.

I was taken from my mom and I was adopted just like you.

I got in a family the mother and father were both lawyers I became one as well.

Like you Mr. Jenson they were an older couple.

They both were dead before I made judge I know it would of pleased them beyond imagination!

Are you both teachers or what?"

"I'm the teacher said Candy!"

"I'm  a school secretary I said.

I was a Court Clerk there until a couple of years ago.

I had enough years to retire  just not collect Social Security!" 

"I thought you looked familiar said the judge, you probably were the Clerk in a few cases I prosecuted  I was at the  County Attorney's Office."

"Probably, there were so many after a few years unless they were remarkable they all tended to run together."

"Weren't you mostly a Clerk for Judge Hinds?" Asked the judge?

"Yeah I was!"

"That's where I knew you from.

In my courtroom this morning I swear I knew you! I handled the Bagley case!

Father killed his wife and kids and just disappeared for a couple of years got arrested down in Mexico!"

"I remember that one I said!"

"Small world!

The judge said! What made you want to adopt?"

I put Clarissa in my lap. "This one right here! Candy was her teacher, the year before, I had been a crossing guard and playground monitor. This was the sweetest girl you wanted to know.

This year she had became a terror.

She got sent to the office because she was in trouble again!

I took her aside just to talk to her she was terrified of me. We talked and I gave her a hug.

She said ouch and I saw she had been beaten, who ever beat her was careful not to leave marks where she wasnt clothed she was crying in my shoulder and told me about what was happening in her home her older step brother was molesting her and her mom was beating her because she had began to wet her bed because of the sexual abuse. She wouldn't let go she wanted to stay with me.

Mr. English from CPS showed up.

I tried to talk her into going with him she wouldn't budge!

She asked me couldn't I be her daddy?"

We got trained as foster parents.

They wouldn't let Candy be her teacher so they switched Clarissa for Genesis here and turns out her mom go so mad at her when Candy brought her homework to her house her mom hit her in the face with her fist breaking her nose and cutting her lip!

All her mother referred to Genesis was that bedwetting whore!

Candy lost  it and began beating up Genesis's mother.

We became her fostor parent as well and were now adopting them both."

"Just so you know Genesis's mom is still referring to her as That "bedwetting whore" it made it that much easier  to sever her ties!"

So all 4 of you are playing hooky from school today! Very good reason, you have a judges blessing!"

 

[CDfm]

Can’t hurt to have a judge sign your absence excuse note. 

[Drownedinp]

We got home and there was a knock at the door.

Mr. English was there, he looked bad.

"Sorry to bother you I had called off today, I got that crud going around."

Just to prove it he began sneezing.

I have a huge favor to ask of you, I have a girl a bit older than Genesis and Clarissa.

She is 12 almost 13. I was checking the history of my parents.

Her name is Annie, like you Mrs. Jenson she has been sexually molested by her dad.

She needs a home while the case is built against her father, her mom ran off 7 years ago.

We are searching for her as we speak!"

Mr. English sneezed again with then it turned into a coughing spasm.

"Annie has been playing mommy to her daddy since she was 5 years old she was expected to clean and cook.

She was also expected to be used as a sexual partner for her father.

She is like you guys and still wets her bed.

This didn't seem to repulse her father, in fact he got off playing daddy to her!

She needs a home, Mr. Jenson she will be hypersexual towards you, that's all she has known for the past 7 years is to please daddy.

I'm not to sure how she will deal with you Mrs. Jenson, she hasn't had a mother in 7 years.

You could be a threat to her, she could become violent.

One of the biggest problems is being a sexual partner for her dad, that is all she has known.

To her it's normal.

She doesn't know that it's wrong.

Even to me she was putting on her moves just driving over here.

Boundries are not in this girls vocabulary!"

Mr. England began to cough. He was turning red almost purple.

"Will you please take her in, if you tell me no I will understand!"

We looked at each other and Candy said, "Bring her in Mr. English! Of course we'll take Her!

"Splendid," Mr. English said before he sneezed again!

Annie was brought to our house. At 12 she somehow looked older I would judge about maybe 16 or 17 not 12.

She was about the right size for a 12 year old but it was her eyes she looked like she was older.

Probably because she had been expected to do things that no normal kid of 12 had been expected to do.

She looked like a lost pup she followed me everywhere I had to lock the bathroom door just to urinate.

I kept passing her off to Candy.

Candy took her aside and talked to her one of the first questions she asked was "Doesn't daddy love me?"

Candy started telling her that her daddy was now in jail and that he wouldn't be out for quite a while.

Annie said "Not that daddy new daddy!"

They talked and it was discovered that her dad had pimped her out to some of his friends!

She had been expected to have sex with anybody her daddy told her to.

"You poor girl!" Candy said.

She told Annie about how her daddy had sexually molested her, and how she felt this was normal until she got older.

She did it to protect her little sister.

"I don't have a little sister only a brother.

I had to protect him from daddy.

Daddy hurt him when he didn't mind him.

Daddy liked blow jobs.

When he started getting mad at Mark.

Before he started beating him up I would give daddy a blow job."

Candy's heart went out to this little girl she didn't find out what a blow job was up until she was older than this young girl.

Here this girl had done the act to protect her little brother.

"You won't have to do anything like that living here. Daddy has a wife to do those things now okay?"

"But will daddy love me, if I don't do those things?"

"I'm sure daddy will love you no matter what?

You don't have to be the mommy anymore, I'm the mommy!" 

A look of relief came over Annie's face.

"I really didn't like doing those things, it was just daddy made me mommy.

It was my job.

None of the other girls at school had to be mommies, just me.

I like having a mommy!

Will you guys get mad at me because even though I'm 12, I still pee my bed. 

"I promise you, that will not be a problem here!" Said Candy.

How sad. By far the hardest cases I ever had to work involved sexual exploitation of a child. In this chapter her vocabulary seems to bother me. I am not sure if it was the trauma she went through or if she is handicapped. It just seemed like she was talking much more like a three or four year old than a twelve thirteen year old.
