A Plan to Stay Together: She doesn't know what she's doing!

[Ishigreensa]

Samantha looked down, her face getting red and she whispered.  "Honest?  You don't think it's bad a fourteen year old pees her pants?" she asked.

Imelda put her thumb in her mouth and nodded at daddy, and was about to settle down when he called Sarah over to sleep with them.  Then she heard him talking to Samantha, and her eyes got really big.  Very rarely did they even ignore that Imelda wet, but Samantha?  If she was ever found wet...!  This was the first time she heard the word accident in association with her big sister, but she saw how red Samantha's face was and knew she would never pee her pants on purpose, especially in front of her sisters or anyone else.

She smiled and turned and gave daddy a very big hug and a big wet kiss on the cheek when he told her he would never punish the kids for accidents.

Samantha decided not to try to tell him she sat in a puddle made by the little ones because he was being really nice, and she didn't want to get him mad by him thinking she would lie about sitting in pee rather than peeing her own pants.  She didn't usually pee her pants though, unless she thought she wasn't allowed to use the bathroom for some reason.

eventually, the three girls, one of the little ones on each side of him, and Samantha at the foot, fell asleep around their new daddy.

[GuardianWolves]

As Erick fell asleep, and knew what he would most likely wake up to in the morning and was well aware of the fact that he hadn't changed his clothes when getting into bed, but right now he didn't care about that and would change in the morning.

He soon fell asleep after the girls had fallen asleep around him, starting to have a bit of a recurring nightmare, it was from an experience he had had when he was still a part of the police force, although, now that was no longer the case, he had been able to retire and get a pretty good pension from it along with the health benefits associated with it and best of all he could use it for his new charges as well.

The recurring nightmare had revolved around when he had responded as a supervising officer with a rookie officer to a disturbance call, he hadn't known it at the time, but things were about to turn hostile and land 4 officers in the hospital, all with life-threatening injuries and something that couldn't be explained away by science or anything that anyone knew of in the modern day,

he had seen a blue light flash inside of the house when he went to go knock on the door with his rookie and the instant after that light flashed, the rookie was thrown back about five feet, landing on her butt, but still relatively unharmed, shaken, but unharmed,

he had kicked the door and they both cleared the entryway and were greeted with a hail of bullets, they met the assailants with equal use of force and more officers arrived to help, as the officers went to work clearing out the house once the gunmen were taken down,

the blue light that he had seen before flashed not once, but twice and then in the blink of an eye, 4 of the officers that had responded to the assistance request were down on the ground, multiple life-threatening injuries, others had been sliced open, torn in half, but by what he couldn't say, his own rookie was amongst the ones that had life-threatening injuries, but she soon turned to critical and he couldn't save her,

for years afterward he had been trying to get over it, as he stirred but didn't sit up, he was aware of a cold-sweat on his face, but instead of getting up, he just laid there for hours on end trying to calm himself down so that he could go back to sleep and not disturb the peaceful sleeping girls.

[Ishigreensa]

The girls didn't have anything quite that traumatic in their life yet, but still, for little kids, they had their own nightmares.

Sarah dreamed about being on one house after another, four or five of them melded together in one scene for she had been so young when the torture of those people placing her here and there to experiment started, and eventually, she saw tears coming from her big sister and from Imelda as she was yet again forced to go with someone that would be less than kind about her bedwetting.

The little girl shook a little at one point in her dreams, but she didn't wake up or scream out.  She fought through it to another scene....

 

Imelda's worst nightmare, was coming out of a dark box and seeing people aiming long rifles at her.  There were noises she couldn't understand at first, and then she had a vision of some shadowing people being ripped away from her and pushed on while she was left with someone else.  As the scene unfolded with other crying children around her grasped at the air as though they were losing something, she started to puddle the bed.  She didn't wake up.  Tears did spill down her cheek for a moment, though in the real world.

 

Samantha didn't dream at all.  She had grown insensitive to pain and loss.  so many times, so many people were wrenched from her life.  If ever they took Sarah and Imelda from her, she would stop being human altogether, at least as a feeling one.  She slept though more peacefully than any of the others, but that didn't keep her area of the bed dry when she woke up the next morning.

By morning, all around Erick, there were pee covered sheets and puddles that, with him being heavier than the two girls next to him, spread his way and up under him.  Samantha, being the heaviest at the foot, the pee stayed in her area around her soaking her pajama bottoms and most of her shirt as well.

The girls continued to sleep after such an exhausting trek the day before.

[GuardianWolves]

Erick had managed to get back to sleep soon after he had awoken and managed to sleep peacefully until he felt rested enough to wake up and by that point it was nine-thirty am, he sat up slowly and carefully so as to not disturb the two girls sleeping next to him still, when he was fully sitting up in the bed, he saw the full scope of what had happened, both of the little girls had wet themselves in their sleep, most likely from nightmares and their pee had pooled around him, most likely wetting his pants in the process and completely wetting Samantha's pants and top. 

Erick wanted to get up so that he could get cleaned up and changed, but he also needed to clean up the two younger girls as well and he certainly didn't wanna upset them. Erick took a bit to think about the best way to go about telling them and sighed knowing there was no other way to do it that wouldn't make them upset and softly he started to shake each little girl awake hoping that they would wake up so that he could try and get them cleaned up and then let them change into clean clothes.

[Ishigreensa]

Sarah woke up and looked up at him with big dark brown eyes and tears welling in her eyes.  She could feel the liquid still sopping in her panties and pants and knew she had peed herself.  She shook a little bit when he prodded her.  She was so wet.  She was shaking with fear.  Was he going to hit her now?

Imelda looked up at him once she opened her eyes.  She remembered that he had not even scolded Samantha last night, so she just reached her arms up at him wanting him to carry her.  She knew she had to get clean, if he would allow it.  She hoped he would be just as nice about wanting them to take another bath as he was about not punishing them in the first place.

As he got the little girls awake, Samantha woke up, and drew the blankets around herself as best she could to hide her own bedwetting accident.  She wasn't really afraid of him.  If he was going to hit her, he would have done it last night when he thought she peed while being awake.  She was just embarrassed that she wet the bed like the little girls.

 

[GuardianWolves]

"Hey there sweetheart, don't worry I promise I'm not mad at you for what happened, it was just an accident and accidents happen. Come on, let's get you and your sister cleaned up okay." He told Sarah as he saw Imelda and hopped out of bed before picking her up and shifting her over to one arm and doing his best to try and coax Sarah to see if she would be okay with him picking her up and taking her to get cleaned up and changed, she was already upset and he didn't wanna make her any more upset than she already was. Erick's coaxing soon seemed to pay off as he would be able to pick up Sarah and brought the two little girls into the bathroom to be able to take a bath.

[Ishigreensa]

After he had Sarah and Imelda in the bathroom, as embarrassed as Samantha was, she knew she couldn't hide it forever, and that he would know, so just as he got their clothes off of them and started to put them in the bath, she came in and started to take off her own wet pajamas.

"I wet the bed," she said in a very low tone, more disgusted and embarrassed and thinking he would see her more as a baby because of that, than being scared of him.  "Can I take a shower, too?" she asked.  "I'm sorry, daddy.  I... I told we sometimes pee in our sleep."

She looked down.

Imelda wouldn't let him put her down that easily, and even once he got her in the bath, she kept reaching for his arm when it came near, getting him more wet with bath water now, rather than pee.  She was giggling and having a good time.

AFter a while, Sarah noticed that Imelda wasn't scared, and that he wasn't being mean at all, so she started to play, too, making it twice as hard for him to reach for them to wash them without getting more of himself wet with bathwater.

[GuardianWolves]

Erick was happy that the two were having fun and did his best despite the two girls playing in the bath with him to get them clean the best he could while still playing with them without hurting them or getting anything in their eyes that would make them upset and start to cry because he had done something accidentally that he didn't mean to do. Erick soon enough managed to wash both girls off completely and picked each girl out of the bathtub and drained it before letting Samantha get in and then wrapped a towel around each little girl before carrying them both out so that he could dress the both of them and got them their change of clothes for the daytime and started to dress each little girl in their change of clothes that he had bought for them, smiling all the while watching their happy little faces as he did so.

[Ishigreensa]

Sarah actually waited patiently for him to dress her this time.  If Imelda could get taken care of, and she was two years older than her, then Sarah wanted him to dress her, too.  Besides, she sometimes made mistakes and put her clothes on weird, and in other places, they would yell at her for it and call her stupid, but Sarah could clearly see he would never do that.  She just wanted him to do it because it looked like he and Imelda were bonding because of him helping her all the time.

Imelda more than willingly let him hold her panties out to put on, and let him dress her while she gave him a leg or an arm as he needed.  She knew it was sort of babyish to let him dress her, but she didn't care.  He was happy, and she was happy, and that's all that mattered.  Sarah wasn't going to call her a baby, and Samantha wouldn't either.  Even if they did, she wouldn't care.

Sarah watched as Imelda got dressed, very carefully, and then she did exactly the same as Imelda did so as to make him like her more, too.

Samantha got into the shower and started to wash herself off.

[GuardianWolves]

Erick soon managed to get both girls dressed and would strip the bed down and put the wet sheets on the floor before finding a couple of extra pairs of sheets, as it seemed the hotel had anticipated wetting accidents for guests of this hotel and had prepared their rooms accordingly. Once he had remade both beds, he sat on the bed with both little girls and turned on the tv and turned it onto some cartoons for them to watch and Looney toons just happened to be on and he sat back with both girls and watched the show. He had decided to wait for Samantha to finish and get dressed so that they could all go out and get dressed and then he would take them to get some proper fitting clothes and then he would let them choose if they either wanted to go to a park, or if they wanted to maybe go swimming in the hotel pool before getting them all ice cream and then get lunch and then come back to the hotel for a bit before getting some pizza or something delivered for dinner and then giving them a bath before they could all watch a movie before bed. 

[Ishigreensa]

Samantha eventually came out of the shower to see Imelda cuddled up in his lap and leaning her head against him.  She had her thumb in her mouth like a little kid, but lately, she had been sucking her thumb more and more.  

Samantha was naked except for the the towel she held over her chest that was just long enough to come down and cover her privates, though her bum was not covered because though she meant to wrap it around herself, it came undone on her way out of the bathroom.

"Where my clean clothes, daddy?" she asked him, blushing because the towel fell revealing her butt side, though she was turned to face him, so he most likely couldn't see it that well anyway, just her nearly naked legs.

Sarah was leaning against him, though she she was sitting to one side instead of in his lap like Imelda.

[GuardianWolves]

"Check the third bag, that one is yours." He told her as he ignored her naked form in the room as he responded to the question that she asked him, he looked down and saw Imelda sucking her thumb, not thinking too much of it, as she had been through a traumatic experience most likely, so she was using it as a comforting mechanism. He just let them stay where they were as he put an arm around each child and would periodically play with each of them while they were watching cartoons to try and mix it up a little bit. Erick did check on the older girl from time to time, but he mostly gave her some privacy, so that she knew he was there, but that she was able to not have to worry about him being mean or anything to her.

[Ishigreensa]

Samantha looked over at him as she got her clothes, her towel slipping so she showed her privates for a moment, but then she quickly covered herself back up.  It wasn't that she didn't trust him, but she just thought a fourteen year old should not be showing anyone her body, not even if he was going to be her daddy.  She blushed a little bit and went back around the corner, not completely into the bathroom, but just out of eyesight to put on her clean clothes.

Sarah giggled and pretended to try to bite his arm, though if or when she caught it, she just made an over-expressive gesture and bit at the air.

Imelda laughed and squirmed as he played with her, trying to stay away from his tickly fingers that she remembered from the night before.

Both girls were having more fun playing with him than watching cartoons on TV.

Eventually, Samantha came back out from around the corner all dressed, and walked over and stood before him.

"Sorry about last night," she mumbled feeling embarrassed that she wet the bed, and that he thought she peed her pants earlier, too.

[GuardianWolves]

"You have nothing to be sorry about, it was something that you couldn't control and after the experiences that you three had before I found you, I wouldn't blame you for having accidents, you have all come for a place that punishes you for stuff that you can't control instead of trying to help you girls through it and be able to face it and get back to being the happy girls that you are meant to be. So, don't apologize for that because it's not your fault and I won't punish you for it ever." He told her as he looked at her and continued playing with the two little girls and saying "seems like my two little girls are having more fun playing with me than they are watching the cartoons that are on tv." He smiled as he said it to them. 

[Ishigreensa]

Sarah stopped with a look and stared right at him.

"We have names," the sassy little eight year old told him.  "I'm Sarah.  Can you say, Sar--ah?"  And the other one you're playing with is called EE--Mel--Da," she smiled at him and waited for him to repeat their names as though she was teaching their names to a younger kid.

"Sarah,"Samantha gave her a serious look.  "You shouldn't talk to grown ups like that.  It's not his fault we didn't tell him our names yet."

Sarah sighed.  "Fine.  Sa-MAN-tha," she said sarchastically making sure he heard the elder sister's name, too.

[GuardianWolves]

"Okay Sarah, it's my bad I didn't know your names. From now on I'll be sure to use your names, but please be nice to others, if you want people to treat you nicely, then you should treat them the same way that you would want them to treat you, Sarah, okay?" He told her as he stopped playing with her because he had to show her that if she didn't wanna be nice to others then there was no reason to give her playtime with him if she was going to treat him this way and just continued to play with Imelda as he repeated all three of their names in his head so that he could remember to refer to them by their names, so that he didn't get Sarah being sarcastic with him.

[Ishigreensa]

Sarah pouted looked down.

"I was just playing," she said tears in her eyes.

Imelda stopped playing and looked at how sad Sarah was.  She didn't really see what Sarah did wrong.

Samantha sighed and shook her head at her little sisters and went to sit by Erick.

"What are we doing, now?" she asked him.

[GuardianWolves]

Erick had then realized his mistake and apologized for it "Oh, I'm sorry Sarah, sweetheart, daddy just wanted to make sure you understood okay?" He told her as he tried to give her a bit of comfort, not trying to play with Sarah since she wouldn't wanna play at the moment, he then heard Samantha's question "Well I was gonna take you three to get something to eat and then I was gonna take you clothes shopping so that you all have proper fitting clothes and then we were gonna either go to the park for a bit or go swimming and then get lunch and hang out in the hotel for a bit before dinner and then go to get dinner and come back for a bath and then a movie and then bedtime." He said mapping out the whole day while trying his best to comfort her and calm her down, he didn't mean what he said and he had completely missed the mark, which was definitely made him sad on the inside and he started to berate himself for not catching that she was only playing with him.

[Ishigreensa]

Sarah cuddled into Erick smiling as he cuddled her.  She knew she had been sassy, and she only used the pout on him because something inside her told her it would work this one time.  Where she would never have even dared say something like she did earlier to any of the other people that were put in charge of her, something told her little eight year old mind that this guy would understand her playing though it was sort of rude to do it.

Imelda sat next to them listening to the day's plan as he babied Sarah after getting after her for being sassy.  She didn't realize that Sarah did anything wrong, but she was glad that he wasn't so upset that he wouldn't correct himself and hug her and let her know that he wasn't going to hit her or something.

Samantha shook her head at how easily Sarah and Imelda manipulated him.  She thought both girls should have known better, and was sure they were just manipulating him.  Of course, why wouldn't they try?  He was the first one they even dared to play with at all.

"Something to eat sounds really good," Samantha said looking at the younger girls.  "Sarah, even if you were playing, tell daddy you're sorry.  You weren't very nice talking to him like that."

"Alright," Sarah said in a sad voice that showed she was really sorry that it came out less of a joke than she meant it to be.  "Sorry, daddy."

[GuardianWolves]

"It's okay Sarah, just remember what I said okay?" He said as he asked "is everyone ready? If so, then let's get going, I'm betting you three are probably hungry right now." He said as he got up letting Sarah get down so that she could walk on her own if she wanted to and wondered if Imelda would wanna be carried by him again since it seemed like she didn't want to leave his side, even for a second, although when it came to certain things, he didn't know how that would really work out, as there were certain places that he just couldn't go with her and she would need to know that, but he didn't wanna spoil her happiness right now, he just needed to make sure that they were okay.

[Ishigreensa]

Sarah yelled "Yay!" and jumped up and ran for the door.

Samantha smiled and walked over to grab Sarah's hand before she ran out in the parking lot.  It might not be as dangerous as a road, but Samantha still felt like Sarah, being a very excitable child, needed to be watched carefully for her own good.

Imelda raised her hands up at him to pick her up.  She loved it when he carried her around.  She didn't think twice about if someone else thought she looked like a toddler or not.  People at the old home and some of the adopting people that tried her out called her a baby anyway, so it really didn't phase her if adults called her one.

Samantha could barely keep Sarah under control holding her hand, Sarah was so excited.

[GuardianWolves]

Erick picked up Imelda and smiled at her and walked towards the door while Samantha tried to hold onto her more excitable sister and opened the door and went out first so that Sarah couldn't try and run off without them and got back to the SUV, before opening the door and placing Imelda inside it and buckling her up and then doing the same for Sarah and getting into the drivers side and unlocking the passenger side door in case Samantha wanted to sit up front with him and once everyone was inside he started the drive to their next destination. 

[Ishigreensa]

Imelda turned her face so it was against him when he carried her, and she felt both sides of  his cheeks with her little nine year old hands.  She felt smooth and cool to the touch as she touched his warm face, and she giggled a bit until he put her in the car, ready to go.

Sarah didn't try to do rebel or do anything that was exactly disobedient, so she was pretty easy to get into the car once the door was opened, and he let her in.  She even smiled up at him as he did her seatbelt for her.

When he unlocked the passenger side from door, Samantha smiled and got in.  

As they started to drive along, Imelda and Sarah started to play some game they made up called "Guess What?"

Samantha looked over to their new daddy.

"So, where we eating at, daddy?" she asked.

[GuardianWolves]

"I was thinking, maybe we could go to a Denny's, there is one not too far from the hotel, there's also a clothes shop there as well, so I was thinking we could go there after we get breakfast and then we could come back to the hotel to drop off the stuff and then from there we can either go swimming or we can go to the part, either one is fine with me, as long as you girls are having fun, then it makes no difference where we go." He told her as he started the drive to the Denny's which was about half an hour away from the hotel down the road, it was part of a larger truck stop, so there would certainly be lots of truckers there, but it also had a pretty big clothes shop and a few places to eat, along with an indoor playpark that any parent could take their children to and they would have lots of fun there.  

[Ishigreensa]

"What's Denny's?" Imelda asked taking a break from the guess what game.

Sarah rolled her eyes.  "Imelda doesn't know anything!  They just said it's a restaurant."

Imelda blushed and tried to scoot as far as her seatbelt let her towards the front.

"I heard it's a restaurant.  What kind of restaurant?"

Samantha turned back to her, and she smiled.

"It's a sit down and eat one.  Not a McDonalds, so you two better be good and sit still in there if you want to make daddy happy."

Imelda nodded.

Sarah shrugged.

Samantha turned and looked at Erick.

"It sounds like a good plan to me, but swimming might be a little dangerous unless you are going to watch Sarah and Imelda closely.  I don't think they know how to swim.  I'm not even a good swimmer to tell the truth."
